of them for this work. (applause) >> and in april of 1996, my last year as secretary of defense, i met one morning intelligence briefing at 7 o'clock along with general charlie. the previous day general hughes had briefed us that the chinese military were to begin extensive military maneuvers in the taiwan strait. this morning we were stunned to learn that they had fired two missiles that landed just 10 miles off the coast of taiwan. the taiwanese had a presidential election underway, and the chinese were using a not too subtle way of explaining to them what they wanted the outcome of that election to be. thises was an unacceptable form of military coercion and both the general and i agreed that a strong response was needed by the united states, something more than a diplomatic letter of protest. after some discussion we agreed to send two carrier battle groups to taiwan. within an hour the president had approved our recommendation and before the day was over, though carrier battle groups were underway steaming to taiwan. at a press conference the next day, i was asked would i not fear thi

decided that those lands were no longer necessary for national defense. so, that strategic entrance to this harbor was the last land that our troops and sailors and marines and soldiers would see if they departed for the pacific theater in world war ii and korea and vietnam, and also the first thing they would see upon returning back to the bay area. so, between the presidio and the head lands, we now have wonderful park lands that have been converted. we call it converting from post to park. repurposing those lands from national defense to environmental defense. and i believe it is probably the most accessful base conversion in the united states. if you haven't been to the presidio, i think you should try and make that. if you're from out of town, it's a spectacular transition there. so, these golden gate national parks that i happen to be the superintendent of has now become after 40 years the second most visited national park in our country. we get 14 million people a year that come to our parks. it has spectacular coastline, includes muir wood, alcatraz, we get to tell the stori

the previous evening when she wanted to look her best for seth kaufman's wedding ten days later. defense attorneys seized on that evidence and perhaps without intending to, made their case famous overnight. they called in an expert named dr. ronald wright. the former chief medical examiner in miami-dade county. >> in your investigation, has the fda received complaints of seizures by people who have undergone spray tan? >> yes. >> do you believe that the spray tan material should have been investigated for potentially causing an allergic reaction? >> oh, sure. i mean, we don't know exactly what happened to mrs. kaufman. we know that she collapsed. we know she asphyxiated but don't know why any of that happened. certainly there's a real possibility that that could have been caused by this exposure to the tanner. she's got it all over her hands. certainly raises the possibility of an allergic reaction. >> she gets her first spray tan the night before she passes away, why not investigate it? stranger things have happened. it would be negligent on their part not to do that. not to test it. >>

services and the president and anyone who's qualified to speak on national defense argues nuclear weapons has changed everything. will never again have another amphibious landing. the canvas man from ship to shore and the army uses this as an argument to radically reduce or perhaps even abolish the marine corps. the marines fight back and they? win. and as early? as 1947, they st? arguing that the good war was?? nuclear weapons was probably not ?ing to happen.???? they say, how are you going to? keep stability in the cold war periphery if all you have???? something is something that can? atomize people?????? no, you need forces that can do a wide range o?f things.???? humanitarian or they've come th? peacekeeping, disaster relief comic and a small stability??? operations.???????? they start arguing that some 47? by 56, the height of the cold?? war, they argue explicitly??? ?ward the soviet union will not happen. you need very? capable, nonnuclear forces that can arrive? immediately and do lot? of things. we are that jack of all trades? service.???

the polish foreign minister in the middle of the night to tell him we have just changed our missile defense plan. he does not plan to go and whisper to the president of france that mr. netanyahu was a pain in the you-know-where. he doesn't plan to turn around to the russian president and say, just wait. once i have flexibility, i can do all kinds of things that i cannot do right now. he does not plan to stand aside when there is a major green revolution in iran, and the united states does nothing. we are supposedly trying to get the mullahs to heel to what we are looking for, and the very same mullahs know that when there was a real threat to them, we sat on our hands. what does that tell you about our credibility? what does that tell you about our consistency? >> dov, you have written a book about afghanistan. you are the point person at dod on the afghan account between the george w. bush administration. governor romney mentioned the 2014 drawdown in his monday speech. what he did not talk about in that was the strategic partnership agreement that the administration has negotiated with th

>>> welcome to nhk world "newsline." >>> members of japan's self-defense forces are tracking a flotilla of chinese naval ships. they say the vessels approached japanese territorial waters west of okinawa. the disputed senkaku islands are located in that area, a territory japan controls but china claims. pilots with the maritime self-defense force air patrol spotted the flotilla tuesday. they found the ships about 49 kilometers off yonaguni island near taiwan. japanese defense ministry officials say the ships moved north just outside japan's territorial waters. they say the vessels were headed to another contiguous zone off the senkaku islands. but then the flotilla headed west away from the islands. defense ministry officials point out the flotilla is the same one that passed through the oak. >> wa islands earlier this month. officials believered it was returning to china. international law allows warships to pass through another nation's contiguous zone. officials say it's the first time the chinese navy this year has been spotted around japan's contiguous zone off okinawa.

and defense ministries and the u.s. embassy in tokyo. he says this is a serious and unforgivable matter and will urge u.s. officials to lead a thorough strengthening of discipline. they say japanese leaders will make their own interventions with u.s. officials. >> translator: this never should have happened. strengthening discipline and trying to prevent a recurrence are not enough. we need to think about more fundamental measures. >> gemba said it were to ensure the matter will not affect the realignment plan for u.s. forces that includes reducing the number of marines in okinawa. john roose says he takes the matter very seriously and promised to cooperate with authorities. >>> former boss any an leader says he should be rewarded for all the good things he has done. he opened his defense inhe genocide trial at the u.n. war crimes tribunal in the hague and told the court he was a mild and tolerant man. he denied his involvement in the mass killing of boss nan muslims and kroebs. he insisted he did everything in his power to reduce the war. his trial began three years ago. he faces ten c

they are protesting against that they don't like. we should have had a fortified defense and obama should have taken responsibility. he had a chance to show presidential leadership in the 48 hour period afterwards. he failed. >> wait a second. that seems to me projecting -- i'm not saying -- obviously, something that's been confusing is we want to identify a cause. either it was the video or it was al qaeda and the islamic or premedicated. all of those things can be true. that's part of the problem, right? >> it's a premedicated attack in reaction to the video by probably not al qaeda. >> right. but also protesters around with guns. i want to respond to this about it being american policy. i mean, i think, at a certain level, you have to take it at face value, what the people who pulled off the operation are saying. if they say we are doing this because of the video, i'm inclined to believe them. when osama bin laden said why he did 9/11, that's why he did. why -- we're not going to project on them what we think their motive is. >> i think there's two separate issues here. on security, there's more

provider. >> now, a panel discusses the potential effects of defense cuts on the economy. automatic spending cuts, including $500 billion in defense cuts over the next decade, will take effect in january if congress fails to approve $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction. this 90-minute forum was hosted by the cato institute. >> good afternoon. i'm christopher preble, vice president for defense and foreign policies here at cato, cato institute. thank you all for being here today, and thanks also to our outstanding conference staff here at cay to who do so much behind the scenes to make our me vents such a great success. want to welcome those of you who are watching on c-span and also online at www.cato.org. the budget control act passed by congress directs that on january 2, 2013, the obama administration must cut the defense budget by at least $55 billion and the same amount from domestic discretionary spending. the prospect of such reductions has led to assertions that they will damage the economy and increase unemployment. for example, earlier this year senator carl levin of michigan

of you, tomorrow we're going to have the former secretary defense william perry speak. and the final speaker tomorrow will be the commander of north com, it will be the first time the northern command... >> ladies and gentlemen, welcome to day two of the senior leader seminar for san francisco fleet week 2012. we had a great day yesterday and we're going to have an even greater day today. we've got a number of people that i would like to bring up to welcome you all. while this senior leader seminar is going on, there's a number of other activities that are going on at the same time. and a very important activity is some training that's taking place on treasure island. it's training by the san francisco fire department and it's become a huge hit with the marines and the sailors that are able to get this training. with that, i'd like to have our police chief -- fire chief from san francisco, chief hayes white, come forth and talk to you about some of these events and the fire department's role. thank you. >> thank you, thank you very much. thank you, general. good morning, everyone. we

's there, great. i don't know that you say that to a redshirt. >> dave: number four defense in the country coming into the game. texas tech is on their heels but they still have the edge and he's sacked at the 25 yard line. it's now third down. the clock continues to roll. there it dartwan bush. he's got to spike it here and set up fourth down and he does. now it's fourth down, and you're going to have to send out the kicker, and there he goes. now the kick has become 42 yards. in his range, no question. >> kelly: that's one of the things that you tell the young quarterback, we don't throw it into coverage, and we don't take a sack and can you see we couldn't hold up his end of the bargain in that second one. he took the sack. >> dave: neither team has a time-out. there you see this one from 42. we're all tied up. and that would have been good from 52. he crushed that one, too. the wind died down. but he absolutely hit the middle out of that ball. and this was absolutely right down broadway and was gone for another 10 or 15. it's one thing to kick these out in practice when they kind of qu

are putting up a defense of our own. and i've made it very plain to them, we seek no superiority. we simply are going to provide a deterrent so that it will be too costly for them if they are nursing any ideas of aggression against us. now, they claim they're not. and i made it plain to them, we're not. there's been no change in my attitude at all. i just thought when i came into office it was time that there was some realistic talk to and about the soviet union. and we did get their attention. >> mr. president, perhaps the other side of the coin, a related question, sir. since world war ii, the vital interests of the united states have always been defined by treaty commitments and by presidential proclamations. aside from what is obvious, such as nato, for example, which countries, which regions in the world do you regard as vital national interests of this country, meaning that you would send american troops to fight there if they were in danger? >> ah, well, now you've added a hypothetical there at the end, mr. kalb, about where we would send troops in to fight. i am not going to make th

$100 billion in real terms out of the defense budget after the berlin wall came down. this was a significant reduction in defense spending. about as big as they are talking about right now, and perhaps even bigger. at the time there were all sorts of apocalyptic claims about what would happen if we did these, and in states like virginia, that are heavily impacted by defense spending, and your state of california, those two states are impacted most. california did go through a recession in the early 1990's, and people blame that on defense cutbacks. virginia took about the same amount of cuts and we did not experience the same recession. we found ways to grow in other areas and replace those defense contractors with other areas, etc. that is a really good example. i am so glad you brought it out. a couple of points for conversation. we had another cut in spending that we did that was similar to this, not of the same magnitude, back in 1987 when we had the gramm-rudman, the first sequester. you probably know the numbers, professor. i forget how much it was. the average

and defense communities and its officials in the intelligence in -- vocal voices in calling for some of the standards that republicans in congress and the chamber of commerce and many businesses have rejected. do you see a president romney taking the side of a business, i guess, against the defense department, against the national security agency? >> guest: i'm not sure there is that kind of a brieghtd line opposition between the entities that you laid out. i think in looking to the military defense and the department and the intelligence community, i think it's simply an acknowledgment that is where the real expertise resides within the government. they have got the human capital resources that have been dealing with this in a much more proactive way for a much longer time. the issue of cybersecurity has been one that's been very greatly defined for a long time between classified networks and unnetworks. and candidly we didn't do a bunch to protect our unclassified networks almost as a purposeful strategy in closing off the networking and shutting the door and locking it to our adve

bosnian serb leader begins his defense against genocide and war crimes charges at the hague. >> the german finance minister pushes europe-wide changes that would give brussels sweeping powers over national budgets. >> and a different perspective -- the soccer photos of a non- fan. the men charged with being one of the organizers of the ethnic cleansing of muslims and croatians in bosnia in the 1990's has started his defense at the hague proceedings by saying he did all he could to avoid war. >> a united nations court charges former bosnian serb leader radovan karadzic with the deaths of thousands. he faces life in prison if found guilty. >> he remained unrepentant as he began his defense. the former bosnian serb leader rejected the war crimes charges against him. >> instead of being accused for the events in the war, i should have been rewarded for all the good things i've done because i did everything humanly possible to avoid the war and to reduce the suffering of civilians. >> the united nations court in the hague will hear his answer to a long list of atrocities in the former yugoslavi

>>> securing the skies. japanese defense officials say the number of fighter jet scrambles spiked during a recent flare-up of its territorial dispute with china. welcome to nhk world "newsline." self-defense force pilots have been taking to the air more than ever to tell foreign jets to respect the rules of the sky. a new defense ministry report says they've been handing out an increasing number of warnings to chinese aircraft. the rise in fighter jet scrambles coincides with the flare-up in a dispute over islands of the east china sea that japan controls but that taiwan and china claim. nhk world's takafumi terui has the details. >> reporter: the ministry's quarterly report tracks the movement of air force intercepter jets. it says the aircraft took to the skies 209 times between april and september to warn foreign aircraft of possible air space violations. the asdf warned chinese aircraft 69 times. 80% of those warnings happened between july and september. this coincides with the japanese government's nationalization of the senkaku islands, which angered people in china. defense

in front of this new judge, judge debra nelson. it was a good day for the defense team. the judge ruling that attorneys for george zimmerman are allowed to subpoena the school records of trayvon martin as well as whatever posts he may have put on facebook and any sort of comments he may have made on twitter. this is important going forward as the defense may argue that it was trayvon martin who was the aggressor that night in the fight that ended when george zimmerman shot and killed trayvon martin. >> i'm not going to sit back and say anything about trayvon martin. i know very little about him. but i think my client has the right for me to find out more about him to make that decision. and that's the only point we're at right now with discovery. we have the right to get the information. then conclusions can be made, most probably by the judge in the self-defense immunity hearing. if that's not successful by a jury which is where this is supposed to be. >> reporter: trayvon martin's parents are announcing they are beginning a new push that might change stand your ground laws all across t

military in tunisia as a major issue. the military -- on libya, there was no ministry of defense under gadhafi, under the ntc, and we don't even have a minister of defense right now in the newly-reformed, so curbing military power in the narrow sense of an early, since you mentionedded armies, isn't the main issue in tunisia either -- excuse me, in libya. and i actually think, you know, probably 95% of the 250,000 or so libyans walking around with weapons are trying to keep the peace, not make mischief which is why these conflagrations on the two reports kind of blow up. as i said, they're nasty, brutish and short. you know, they kind of blow up, and the two groups go after each other, another group comes in, puts out the fire, and everything settles quickly because most libyans want to keep things stable in the absence of a military, in the absence of a police force, in the absence of any kind of infrastructure or institutional forces. now, in terms of algeria and morocco, again, you know, i don't see the military. about all we've said over the years is criticism of the militaries and

that u.s. aid and the self-defense force played. an example of how to take command and control on the road is a command-and-control unit. we brought this from honolulu so that it would be available in the event that the crisis continued to provide more challenges for leaders. we will close here with the importance of messaging. another critically important element of this. who has the lead for the message? it should be part of the discussion that takes place at your next table top level exercise. messages can be very confusing and you have many different groups involved. u.s. embassy had the lead. to be very clear about that point, as you roll this up and look at it in aggregate, those are impressive numbers for the people of japan. these were the foreign deployed forces are in japan. everyone rallied and was under way, everyone was a part of this operation. when self-defense force called out 100,000 people, they had this right behind them. it allowed them to focus on what was critically important to them, finding the remains and lost, allowing us to provide support in the way

on national defense argues nuclear weapons changed everything. we'll never have another amphibious landing. you can't move men ship to shore against an enemy with nuclear weapons. the army used that to radically reduce the marine corp.. they fight back and win. in 1947, they argue the big war in nuclear weapons is probably not going to happen.? they? say, how are you going to keep stability in? the cold war if all you have something is? that can atomize people?? you need peace keeping, disaste? relief, small stability? operations. they argue this in 1947, and by? 1956, the height of the cold?? war, arguing explicitly the war? with the soviet union will not? happen. you need capable non-nuclear? forces to? arrive immediately ? do a lot of things.?? we are that service. by the late 40s and 50s, they?? are building what are called the marine air ground task forces .???????????????? >> host: was there a strong come -- commander who pushed it in the change? >> guest: the argument of the underdogs is the marine's service culture is an under studied factor in all chan

>> cris: packers much more depth on the defensive side and it's showing up. i mean, they have playmakers now in multiple positions. you lose a jennings on the offensive side. you lose a jermichael finley who really was out early in this game. and other guys have to step up. probably the receivers best game of the year in this one. >> al: over the middle, that's caught. a first down. garrett graham makes the catch. >> cris: i think tonight you saw why teams don't play bump and run, man-to-man coverage against the green bay packers, you know? they have been usually very cautious on the back end, two-deep safeties and probably won't see it again very soon either. >> al: incomplete. intended for graham. second and ten. matthews will probably have a battle with the finish with watt in terms of who will be the sack leader in the league this season. >> cris: 9 1/2 sacks and all of those passes deflected double digits in sacks and pass deflections. only two other guys in the nfl over the past two seasons have been able to accomplish that. almost double digit sacks already this year. >

defenses. in other words one could say, when i get to the "d" for example, whether the respondent spoke with council and relied on that of the employee. that probably is a grounds for which it becomes difficult to say that there has been a violation. we might decide that they should, that the advice they got was wrong. and that we should issue an order saying that the documents shall be produced. but on the other hand, we might say the employee acted in good faith. he went to the city attorney, and the city attorney said, you don't need to produce them. >> i think by -- we are not trying to eliminate these. these would all be under the heading of what is relevant. they would be part of the relevant circumstances surrounding the case. the question is whether to enumerate some of them here that we've anticipated as possible defenses. we don't eliminate the explanation or defense if we don't list it here. the question is if it's useful to say that is one of the circumstances that would be appropriate to raise. >> and i think you are both right. actually. i don't think it limits the affirma

started his defense at the hague proceedings by saying he did all he could to avoid war. >> a united nations court charges former bosnian serb leader radovan karadzic with the deaths of thousands. he faces life in prison if found guilty. >> he remained unrepentant as he began his defense. the former bosnian serb leader rejected the war crimes charges against him. >> instead of being accused for the events in the war, i should have been rewarded for all the good things i've done because i did everything humanly possible to avoid the war and to reduce the suffering of civilians. >> the united nations court in the hague will hear his answer to a long list of atrocities in the former yugoslavia. 300 hours are allotted for his defense. the 67-year-old is representing himself and plans to call hundreds of witnesses to the stand. the 10 judges against him include genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. he's accused of being behind the murder of 8000 men and boys in 1995, the worst massacre in europe since world war ii. prosecutors have now charged 161 suspects over war crimes in

people from my headquarters, are arriving in support of the japanese self-defense force, we had explosions because of hydrogen buildup in the individual reactors. we had buildings that had collapsed. we had the fukushima 50. they were dedicated, loyal engineers and workers at the plan -- plant, attempting to keep the temperatures and conditions under control. it was a disaster that all of our national leadership said we would throw everything we have got at it. next slide. it is important to understand of what we did not know. we did not know the full extent of the damage. we did not know the full impact of the tsunami. there were entire population centers affected by this. in many of these prefectures that we went to, one of the first things we said was that there was a complete loss of the mayor's office. the complete loss of the municipal leadership installations and buildings. people were having to land on their feet, figuring out where they go. in addition to the isolated communities, we needed to assess the infrastructure that we had in place. looming in the background was

to learn from experience that making unilateral cuts in defense system is not the way that you enhance peace. you've got to understand that it is only the united states that can stand for freedom and democracy around the world and we can't turn it over to the united nations or other multilateral organizations. it is, though, trying to understand the heartbeat of the country. and i know these campaigns get knocked a lot, but i think i'd be a better president now for having had to travel to these communities and understand the family values and the importance of neighborhood. [applause] >> please. >> margaret warner for the vice president. >> i'd like to follow up on that mr. vice president. the tenor of the campaign you've been running, in terms of both the issues and your rhetoric has surprised even some of your friends. senator mark hatfield who's known your family a long time and who knew your father, the late senator prescott bush, said, and i quote, "if his father were alive today, i'm sure his father would see it as a shocking transformation." is senator hatfield right? >> what wa

him on the defensive from the very start. and i thought he re-engaged mitt romney, re-engaged in questions in a stylistic way that i didn't benefit him. he went back to things, seemed to argue with the moderator at times. i didn't think he did as well as the last time. >> was he rattled? he was certainly hotter. president obama, style? >> b minus. >> a. >> b. >> so let's go to the a. why? you liked him. >> no question, he was calm, he was the commander in chief. he knew mitt romney's positions better than mitt romney knew his own positions. i thought the president was smart, he connected with the audience in the room and the people outside tuning in. >> b minus? >> he won four years ago for being cool, for being cool under pressure. and tonight, he was hot. he was overheated, in my view and more importantly, for the president, i think he will be viewed as a little too overheated and too hot in the view of the few people who still haven't made up their mind or haven't decided whether they'll vote again for him as they did four years ago. >> definitely hotter this time.

provide the defense. we talk to them about hardening their structures in a defensive measure against wild land fires. a lot of it is public education, survivability, building standards, but predominately our focus is putting the onus on the land owner, putting the onus on the private property owner, we will attempt to protect your home but the days of staying and defending your home and killing our fire fighters are done. we will not stand and defend a house that has not been prepared by a land owner and die for it. we don't do that any more. that's one of our doctrinal changes and we set forth some new guidelines with that. >> thank you. >> question, mr. secretary. >> in a large scale disaster relief, where the military is called in to assist the civilian components there is an obvious issue of how you get the command and control and in particular what telecommunications is used to support that command and control. your exercising together is very critical, i think, to working out command and control but you still have an equipment problem because the equipment, telecommunication eq

to evacuate areas near the site where the balloons are expected to be dispatched. south korea yes, sir defense minister told parliament his military commanders are fully prepared and ready to hit back should the north attack. >>> chinese and filipino leaders wrefting with an issue that driven a wedge between them. both governments claim territory in the south china sea. they've agreed to disagree for now and keep working on the issue. china's vice foreign minister visited filipino leaders. both governments claim a group of rocks areki an effort to find a solution. they don't want this dispute to harm relations. >> bottom line is we've agreed to disagree and trying to find out how we can bring our positions closer. >> filipino officials report she met the president. they say he delivered a message from the president that chinese leaders value good relations with the filipinos. >>> japanese researchers are warning the debris from last year's tsunami may cause irreparable damage to marine eco systems. it's estimated nearly 1.5 million tons of debris is drifting in the pacific ocean. the researche

of the debt deal and what it does is it cuts $500 billion from the defense department, also from domestic budgets, resonating hugely in virginia where you have a lot of people who work for defense contractors, work for the federal government, or are active duty military members, so they're keen to hear about this issue. mr. allen is out there making the argument that you can't trust democrats to fix it. >> right. >> it's having some evening out in the electorate. >> george allen is basically making the case, we want more spending on defense. how is kaine defending that? >> he's arguing that you need to make conducts george allen is making the case that military is the numbering one priority of the federal government. this is tot a place we should be cutting willy-nilly. there has to be a prioritization process. ries hap against democrats is they didn't do it. tim kaine says we can't have cuts either, but we need to raise taxes on millionaires or wealthy people to counter those cuts. >> an ad kaine is running which is interesting as he attempts to distance himself from president obama. >>

defense in the person of the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, the key principle staff members of the department, and our primary combatant commanders and commanders responsible for civil authority support are now acting on those recommendations in the form of directed tasks. the tasks sound very familiar for those who have participated here in san francisco fleet week over the last several years. the focus is on integrated planning with civil authorities, swift operations and mobilization, utilization of installations, capabilities and personnel, enhanced organizational effectiveness and improved doctrine, education, training and exercises. the directive comes with an already increased attention on dsca which we have seen the development of courses and training now delivered at multiple professional military education programs and other venues and the maturing of thinking and policies since 9/11 and katrina. there is a recognition within this analysis that there are gaps in awareness of the capabilities dod can provide in complex catastrophes, as well as the inherent complexi

. defense take a look at whether traffic. >> good morning starting the mot quick of you check shows heavier this is video of the van ness/80 intersection. >> this is difficult to deal with eddie & van ness. >> the dri interstate 580 and highway 4. the lighter than usual. like conditions from the south peninsula and north their rights. >> off thank you george are developing a story of san francisco police are currently on the scene of an accident at the a session of eddie street and van ness. is the video that let me show you some video from earlier as officers on seen in full force try to piece together what happened. at this point the started over a traffic accident they spotted a rear license plate light was out when they tried to pull that white four-door vehicle over. a gunshot was fired from the vehicle which had to passengers inside unclear at this point if it was fired at the office or in the air. that vehicle sped down and ran a red light and in the up colliding with a taxicab causing it to spin down the road. the two specs'suspect fled on foot. the driver is on the loose the pa

was acting suspiciously and shot him in self-defense. we know he was unarmed. let's get to the matter at hand. and for that, we go to sanford. and was there at trayvon martin's family held a press conference and basically their contention is to go after the school records, online records. he's been re-victimized again. what else do they have to say, david? >> reporter: well, they're saying these records are not relevant. they're being very strong here saying that trayvon martin, they believe was the victim here. he is the only person in this case who can't speak up for himself. and right now, they're trying to defend him and try to defend his character posthumously. listen. >> let us be clear, trayvon's family does not feel that his school records are relevant in any way. it is wrong to subpoena his records on so many levels from middle school and high school. it is very offensive to them. but if the court sees fit to release trayvon's school records, we demand that george zimmerman's medical records be released because they are far more relevant as to why he shot and killed trayvon martin on

is a very good individual, former head of the defense intelligence agency, general jim clapper. put out some speaking points on the initial intelligence assessment. that was possibly a mistake. >> since 9/11, director clapper remained silent. however, on september 28, clapper spokesman sean turner issued a state in the his own name acknowledging only that the intelligence community at some unspecified point revived the assessment. privately intelligence veterans complain of being thrown under the bus. >> when people in consulate saw armed men attacking, there were no protesters. why did it go on? >> we were told by intelligence committee. >> kerry, the long island resident whose question about benghazi provoked intense exchange between president obama, mitt romney and moderator candy crowley later told greta van susteren the president spoke to him after the debate and confided that the administration hadn't officially branded benghazi terrorist attack more swiftly because the president feared harm premature, erroneous statement could do in mideast. >> i could only speculate to give himself t

drinking tea. you had the defense lawyer themselves get paid to get their china off no matter what. the prosecutor. if this were part of a negotiated deal, they're on the hook, too, in my book. >> i completely agree. this is an adversarial system. justice depends on both sides being zealously advocated. in this indicates, it appears the prosecutor made a rookie mistake. the defendant was charged first with abuse of a child resulting in death which is a minimum mandatory period of incarceration and manslaughter. in a plea agreement, they left the door open for an exceedingly lenient sentence to be imposed. i think a lot of this is on the d.a. for dropping the ball. >> well, you know, you can't blame the defense attorney, actually, in this case, dan. because i compare them to snakes. snakes. they crawl on their belly and they think they're a king. a defense attorney can't help being a defense attorney. they are what they are. and no matter how heinous the crime is, they think they're doing the right thing by getting their client off and letting them walk free. so i just count, i just

in our 8:30 segment, we will have bob james from the natural resources defense council, and he wrote a book called for "reckless." here are some things that our last caller brought up. host code that comes to us from "the new york times." this story from "the new york times" is from a couple of months ago and is about the lack of environmental issues in campaign 2012. the world being a distant memory of four years ago, when been green was so popular. host: we will talk more about that at 8:30 with bob dean. kim, south carolina, what are you waiting to hear about? caller: i am waiting to hear more about what he is planning to cut. i know that he cannot give us all of that, because he wants to make a deal with congress and everything. host: are you talking about one candidate in particular? or both of them? caller: mitt romney. he has changed so many times, i want some signal on where he is going to cut. host: you can join the conversation on safes -- on facebook, that is where this comes from -- host: what information do you need to decide your vote? joshua, good morning. caller: good

romney has no plan for the economy, he has no plan for defense and he has no plan, period. the only plan he has is he wants to be president of the united states. president's been president for four years. he's got to say what he's going to do in the next four. >> now, does the president have to try to find middle ground between confronting mr. romney without looking like he's being antagonistic and, quote, nonpresidential? how does he find that delicate balance, governor? >> i think that's what he was trying to find last time and it apparently didn't work. i saw the debate and i thought he did fine. i know the media doesn't think so. he needs to go after romney. romney is questionably qualified for president. his positions on defense are very unusual. his positions on the kind of rights for women are certainly out of the mainstream. and i think the president has to go after him. the president's going to defend american values in this debate here. and i think he needs to make mitt romney show he's either out of step or he doesn't seem to have any core principles. one of the two. >> i thre

that you great folks have a primary mission, that's defense of the nation and we respect that and we understand this is an ancillary job and there is a high revel of rotation of people coming back from afghanistan or iraq, whatever the case may be, but we also reach out to squadron level training. it really comes down to meeting with your cooperating agencies and training together on a frequent basis and having good and open dialogue. >> as i look back at that map here, knowing we were heading into that time of year where we're going to hit significant fire weather and knowing northern california as we are now but eventually southern california, one of the most effective ways to stop the fires from growing is that initial attack, which means we need to be able to quickly put resources up in the air and move them. i guess my question is from a national guard perspective, from a naval perspective, with the helicopter resources down there, do you feel you would be able to quickly move those resources and you have the agreements in place. we'll start with the national guard and work on

into everybody's kitchen -- i mean, he's against most defense matters, and now he wants to get an army of jrs auditors going out there. i'm against that. i oppose that. [boos and applause] >> i'm going to say this and i'm going to say it once to every person in this auditorium. what these candidates are about is of utmost seriousness to the american voters; they should be heard and you should be quiet. if you are not quiet, i am going to implore the candidates to do something about quieting their own partisans. but we cannot get through this program with these outbursts. margaret warner for governor dukakis. >> good evening, governor, mr. vice president. governor, you won the first debate on intellect, and yet you lost it on heart. >> just a minute. >> you'll get your turn. >> i don't know if the vice president agrees with that. >> the american public admired your performance, but didn't seem to like you much. now, ronald reagan has found his personal warmth to be a tremendous political asset. do you think that a president has to be likable to be an effective leader? >> margaret, may i go bac

. (laughter) i guess the cuts are going to come from big spending boon doog stuff like defense. >> i'll restore our navy to the size needed to fulfill our missions. by building 15 ships per year, including three submarines. >> jon: it may sound fiscally irresponsible -- (laughter) -- but with three submarines just seven more and america gets a free sandwich! (cheers and applause) so big defense projects -- did you enjoy that? big defense projects and the socialist programs, those will not be touched. looks like somebody's raising taxes. >> i'm going to lower rates across the board for all americans by 20%. >> jon: what? (cheers and applause) this is incredible! we get to keep all our stuff and pay less too? this is like those special potato chips that they made with olestra that had all the flavor -- (laughter) but none of the calories and, of course, every now and again there was a hint -- a skosh of age leakage but it's fine. (laughter) you know, you'd be in a meeting and your ass would do a spit take but -- (laughter) but the point is this. they were delicious. (laughter) what red

. >> yeah, what happens in a situation where we have the show-cause hearing. the defense is advice of counsel. looking at it, we think that the advice of counsel defense lacks merit. what happens then? >> i think that would be some factual matter for you to determine. >> but if we were to order the document produced and found the defense lacking. they don't turn it over because they did get advice of counsel saying they shouldn't. how do we resolve that? >> well, the ordinance itself, and apart from the remedies we have done here. the ordinance allows that person to go to court to get the city to produce the document. we could not initiate a court action for them. that would have to be their next step. maybe that's the advice you could give to them as a commission. apart from the penalty we have done here, i don't know anything from that forward. you have issued an order saying produce it. and they don't. you know. >> okay. any other views. from the commissioners? on this particular penalty? 2.1-g. any comments? okay. let's take public comment on decision point 2. >> bruce wolf. i

. >>> new york federal appeals court has found the "defense of marriage act" unconstitutional making it the second in the nation. the 2-1 ruling finds the law violates equal protection. the "defense of marriage act" was first struck down by a federal appeals court in boston this year. the issue will probably go to the supreme court. >>> president obama and mitt romney will be together again tonight but it will be nothing like tuesday's debate. both men are actually attending the alfred e. smith memorial foundation dinner which raises money for needy children. mitt romney does not have campaign appearances scheduled today. the president was campaigning up in the granite state of new hampshire. >>> a big quake could strike anytime today and millions of californians took steps to be prepared for the next big one here in the bay area. cbs 5 reporter cate caugiran shows us the great shake-out at the california academy of science. >> reporter: experts say the bay area is due for another big one. and ready or not, we can all agree. >> earthquakes are kind of scary because like what happened

that support. it takes a whole mix of people whether it's the department of defense and even fema having roles to play in that. bob fenton, the assistant chief of fema, used to be the division chief in division 9. he is no stranger to this area, born and raised here, this is his home and so he does have a care and an interest in this community and beyond. and so with that it is hard to fill being his replacement at the regional level because not only to fill his shoes all the great work he did in this region, but also because when you see the size difference, it's a little hard to fit in there. but this this i want to introduce bob fenton, the response head for fema coming in from dc to help support this and moderate the panel. thank you. (applause). >> well, appreciate it. appreciate the opportunity to be back with friends and back in san francisco. and i appreciate the opportunity to be your lunch speaker. as i always say, lunch is one of may five most important meals of the day so thank you for that. let me introduce my panelists. here to my left, we have a great group here to talk ab

on january 2nd, huge cuts to defense and domestic budgets. he's going to demand that the republicans give on something if they want to, for instance, restore money to the defense department? it will be probably be demands for some of his tax hikes. that's the one thing he's been campaigning on in this election season. >> all right. thank you. when we come back, a skirmish over benghazi in this week's debate sets the teenage for the candidate's final show -- sets the stage for the candidates' final showdown on monday. what mitt romney needs to do what mitt romney needs to do monday night to convince remember when you said men are superior drivers? yeah. yeah. then how'd i get this...

and it is short. and thus we would go to overtime. raider defense was fantastic in the 2nd half. look at the playmaker. houston, stripped short. hansen recovers it at the 20. now, a little closer from 40 yards out. >> on the approach, nailed it. oakland wins in overtime. >> raider comes back down 14 to win. they are now 2-4 and believe it or not just one game back of the afc west lead. >> i think it is a credit to the players in that locker room. i think they believe we can win football games. i thought the defense played well today. and, gave ourselves a chance to hang in there until the very end and fortunate enough to come up with the fumble at the end and kick the field goal through and win it. >> how much were you praying through most of game when you were down 20-3. >> i pray when we win and lose. >> prayers answered today. >> absolutely. absolutely.

murderer. >> reporter: the defense team went on the attack. >> all you can assume from dna is that he had sex with her. it's up to the facts and the evidence to determine whether or not it was consensual or unconsensual. >> you're going to tell me angie samota chose to have sex with convicted rapist donald bess? >> i can't tell you. no one can tell you. no one was there besides angie samota and donald bess. >> reporter: and the defense did the same thing the police did, make her boyfriend, ben, a suspect. >> who would assume that a very intelligent young lady is going to throw the door open to some stranger to come into her apartment to use the bathroom but then is so afraid of this person that she picks up the phone and calls her boyfriend. and then hangs up the phone willingly and yet this is supposed to be the assailant that kills her? it doesn't make sense. >> you find ben's actions suspicious? >> extremely suspicious. >> reporter: she and the others on the defense team didn't only point their fingers only at ben, but also at ex-boyfriend lance and russell. and at any other man who co
