factor. ooh, saturnine, smart word. again, thanks for watching. i am bill o'reilly. please, always remember, the spin stops right here because we are definitely looking out for you. >> sean: tonight, senator john mccain responds to former vice-president dick cheney who called his decision to put sarar on the 2008 ticket, a quote, mistake. but first, very disturbing developments out of washington, involving your national security. senator mccain is among a group of g.o.p. sarn who is embarked on a four-state road trip to warn americans about pending cuts to the defense department budget. the automatic cut, totaling nearly $500 billion over the next decade were set into motion when congress voted to raise the debt ceiling. unless an agreement is made before january for sequestration, more than $50 billion in ment gon funding will immediately be slashed. now the deputy secretary of defense told the house committee that the massive cuts will lead to a, quote, unready and hollow force. but that's not all. millions of jobs will be put at risk, particularly in the defense contracting industry. last month, lockheed martin ceooh said he is considering layoff notices to all 123,000 employees, which are required by federal law, 60 days prior to layoffs caused by a foreseeable event. but that 60-day window happen toss fall on the friday before election day, so the obama administration is frantically trying to hide the very real impact that the budget cuts will have on countless americans. on monday, the labor department threatened any and all defense contractors who are considering sending the notices, claiming it would be, quote, inappropriate. joining me now with reactions to the white house's attempt to intimidate private business, john mccain. senator, inappropriate -- is this not the law? of the land? this is a foreseeable event, is it not? >> you can't make these things up. the incredible political-ization of everything that this administration does. the warren act requires it. i mean, there is no gray area t. requires that layoff notices be extended 60 days before the layoffs. that was so people could be prepared for losing their yobs. so they now-- the department of labor, after some time ago saying they had no jurisdiction are now saying that that doesn't have to be done. again, everybody has a record. but again, let me just tell you a quote from barack obama, senator barack obama 7-17-07, a threat of layoffs in illinois with then senator obama said the least employers can do when they are anticipating play layoffs to let workers they are going to be out of a job and a paycheck it with enough time to plan for their future. [laughter] >> we must give the warren act teeth to insure that workers are not left in the lurch without a job or a paycheck. the effects will be devastating. it is a fight between the three branches of government, as to how to eliminate the sequestration and guess who is a.w.o.l.? missing in action, the president of the united states, who has decided that it's not his problem. it is his problem as commander in chief to take care of our nation's security. it is his first and foremost obligation. he has taken a hike. >> sean: not only does it hurt military pripairedness, but he is trying to hide what his policies are going to cause, hundreds of thousands of americans that will be off i. sure. >> sean: for his own political expediency. pretty outrageous. >> and his secretary of defense and the uniformed chiefs have testified consistently that this will devastate our national security. tell inhibit our ability to preserve this nation's security. what greater obligation does a president of the united states have? and he is saying, well, congress created this so they can, quote, wiggle out of it. this is a president who does not understand america's role in the world and requirement for a strong military. >> sean: senator, i'm going to be interviewing vice-president cheney later in the week, as you know, he had some comments about your selection for v.p., governor palin n2008. here's what he said. >> i like... governor palin. i have met her. i know her. she is an attractive candidate. but based on her background, she had only been governor for, what? two years? i don't think she passed that test-- >>> being ready. >> being ready to take over. i think that was a -- a mistake. >> sean: i don't think the president passed that test either, but your reaction on it? >> no. i have admired and known dick cheney for years. i think he was one of the really outstanding secretaries of defense during operation desert storm and other work that he d. look, i just don't see the point to go back four years ago. i am proud of sarah palin. i am grateful for the way she energized our party and i will always appreciate what she did for our party and for our ticket. >> sean: all right. senator, one of the issues that comes back up from 2008, i am troont i to dig up old ground here, whether or not you could have been harder in fighting then candidate obama, in other words, you wanted to run a more respectable campaign, keep it focused on the issues. he ran a pretty negative campaign back then, but that was not the perception. let me show you two clips and ask you if you think the media in this country is in the tank for barack obama, where they in the tank for him then? are they in the tank for him now? governor romney in poland and the president being interrupted during a rose garden -- statement that he was making. >> governor romney, are you concerned about the mishaps on your trip? governor romney -- >> what about your dad? >> governor romney, just a few questions, sir. you haven't taken the three questions on this trip. >> it is the right thing to do. excuse me, sir. this is not time for question, sir. not while i'm speaking. and the answer to your question, sir, and the next time i prefer you let me finish my staims before you ask that question, is this the right thing to do for the american people. i didn't ask for an argument, i am answering your question. it is the right thing to do for the american people. and here's why. here's the reason. because these young people are going to make extraordinary contributions and are already making contributions to our societies. >> sean: pretty glaring difference, senator. you have a unique perspective because you went through this in 2008. explain the impact you think this has on the perception that people in this country have on their politicians. >> well, i think that the media bias towards president obama is just -- it's something we have to accept. it is the air we breathe in the political environment. we have to take that into consideration. i watched mitt romney's trip to europe. he was endorsed by the great hero of the cold war, lec walessa. the shipyard was where the whole overthrow of the soviet union began. prime prim netanyahu did everything but endorse mitt romney. they have known each other for years. they couldn't -- romney couldn't have been more warmly received. and at the same time, of course, the media treats him, as you just mentioned -- but it is what it is. the people like you can bring it to the american people's attention. but honestly, i don't think it's going to change. it is going to have to be part of what the romney campaign is going to have to put up with. >> sean: i think you are right. senator, as always, we appreciate you being with us. >> thank you? >> coming up, a rare apol yee comes down from the white house to our very own charles krauthammer. he's not apologizing for america, all over a bus. we learn more on what happened with this mea cullpa and chick-fil-a has been getting hit, all over the country by the left. but today, the restaurants were packed, lines out the door. people waiting two hours or longer to support the chain. we'll explain. then very serious allegations against the chinese team at the london olympics. are they cheating?

[ italian accent ] 50% more dough! what's in your wallet? >> sean: while the president has made a habit out of apologizing for america oversea, when it comes to attacks that they lob at political opponent, team obama cannot be bothered to say the words, i'm sorry. so the apology to charles krauthammer was all the more shocking, after a week of feuding, communications director, dan pfeifer admitted that he was wrong and the president did return the bust of winston churchill tow great britain. on a blogspot, he wrote, and i quote, i take your criticism seriously and you are correct and you are owed an apology. there was clearly an internal confusion about the two busts and there was no intention to deceive. i clearly overshot the runway in my post. here to tell us if he accepts this rare apology, the man himself, charles krauthammer. charles, i am waiting for an apology, the president was going to send to tear me up -- i have not gotten my apology. >> i you must say, i was as surprised as anyone, actually wrote in my column on monday, giving my side of the argument. i ended it by saying that, you know, i tried to show the evidence that i was right. i just said, i am asking for a retraction and asked for an apology, i said, i don't really expect it. i would expect the nationals to withe world series before i see an apology and within 6 hours, i get the apology, which means that the nationals are going to win the world series. put your money on it. >> sean: that means they are not going to win the world series. my yankees are going to win the world series. that's 100%, charles. all right. but you felt that something was missing. what's the something? >> well, look, i made a very simple statement that obama had returned the bust of churchill that had been lent to the united states to the bush administration in the bush years. i thought it was unobjection unobjectionable. it was not the main point. it was about the romney trip and the slights that our allies have experienced from the obama administration, over the last 3 years. and then all of a sudden, i get this furious attack on the white house web site, which is not exactly, you know, a megaphone, saying that i was pedaling ridiculous rumors and this was 100% false, eats set raand showing what appeared to be photographic evidence of the claim that the bust had not been given back to the brittings, but had had been moved to a different part of the white house. now when i read that -- that blog post, i was amazed because this is not something -- my statement was not something new t. had been around for years. the brits had written about it in 2009 t. turned out, of course, that the white house had made a mistake. it was returned. i called the british embassy and within hours, i issued a statement that the bust that was given by the british government in 2001, was now residing in the british ambassador's residence in washington. and that the bust was shown in the picture that was -- purported to be the one that we shifted from one part of the white house to the other was actually one that will be given in the 1960s and had nothing to do at all with the issue at hand and the sculpture at hand. >> sean: listen, you know what? it's gracious of you -- which, by the way, for those of us who know you, accepting their apology. let me move on. the polls, we pay attention to them. they now begin to matter. 97 days out of an election, they are beginning to matter. >> , especially in switck states, we see the pattern, where the democrats are over sampled, 9 point, 11 points, 10 points, latest poll, new york times poll, they electric at three swing states n. forda, okay, it's a pretty big margin, 6-point margin by barack obama, but they over sample democrats 9%. if you look at ohio, they over sample democrats by 8%. if you look at pennsylvania, not say state that governor romney has to win, closer, only 6%. what extent do you think this has an impact as we look at the models that will not exist in this election year? >> if i could just say one last thing, i want to say that i do appreciate the apology from the white house. it was i think a gracious one and the case is closed. i don't want to continue that. i want to make a claim -- i appreciate what was done. and it was unexpected and something that i think the white house can actually point to as an expression of its good will. >> sean: nice to hear them not apologize for america -- but i digress. >> those are separate issues. somebody said, i am theine entit on earth, that has received an apology from the white house. but i don't want to repeat. >> sean: don't repeat that. just between us. >> now, on the pols, i think the one that is suspicious here -- i say "suspicious" -- i am not implying conspiracy, is the florida poll. the over sampling was 9 points. the important thing is not the amount of over sampling of in thees over republicans, but the comparing the over sampling to what was in the exit polls in 2008. so in the state of florida, the actual turnout was 3% more democrats than republicans. so the poll that shows 9% more, you know it's skewed and probably wrong. the other two tairkts i think the over sampling of democrats is closer to what was the result in '08. so it's the one in the florida poll that i think is a little bit misleading. now i don't think there is any deliberate attempt to mislead by the pollsters. i think it's a matter of technique and how they decide who is likely and who you include, who you exclude. but i think there is one thing have you to remember, the most important thing in knees numbers is the enthusiasm for republicans versus the democrats. it is way up, compired to '08 -- compared to '08 among republicans and significantly down for democrats compared to '08. so even though you get someone speaking on the phone, that isn't anywhere nortelling you who will show up at the polls on election day. >> sean: charles krauthammer, thanks for sharing that story. despite the left's attempt to silence free speech, the patrons of chick-fil-a proudly all over the country today showing their support for that food chain. we'll explain how the liberal attack has backfired and then shocking reports have emerged from the white house indicating the immeasurable power wielded by obama, valerie jarrett. did she have the obama raid scrapped 3 times? we have the frightening answer. and much more. are the chinese cheating in the olympic games? straight ahead.

[ all ] i'm with scottrade. >> sean: freedom of speech and freedom of religion are under attack in america. over the last week, we have watched as the left has demonized the owner of chick-fil-a for daying to speak his mind about same-sex marriage, threatening to boycott and ban the fast-food giant. but today, supporters turned now the droves for chick-fil-a appreciation day, posting pictures on social media sites of packed restaurant, long lines, all across the country. while conservatives are supporting freedom of speech, the obama administration's assault on religious freedom is back on the forefront as the contraceptive mandate officially takes effect today. joining me more with the fight for freedom, angela mcglowen and tam raholder. do you believe in freedom of religion? >> yes. >> sean: you know the owner of chick-fil-a doesn't open on sundays? >> uh-huh. i agree with that. if that's his christian value, that's fine. >> sean: okay. he's following his christian values, states his position, the exact same position of barack obama -- >> exactly! >> sean: on same-sex marriage and people want to shut him down, boycott him, hurt his business. why does the left do it -- >> he's a hypocrite. >> sean: so he's consistent? >> no. for a libical expert to talk -- chiam not, but i am a student of religion, it is not just about anti-gay in the bible or sleeping -- a man shall not sleep with another man, but a woman wearing red is only -- >> we have to break it down here -- >> you can't wear clothing of two different fabrics. >> sean: one at a time, angela. >> why do i always get cut off because i am the liberal. >> sean: you were finished. stop whining. >> if they unbelievable jesus christ. that's number 1. it backfired on you guys. >> jesus christ, his last commandment was that thou shall love one another -- >> and thou shalt not judge. but if you are a believer, you have the right to state god's law. >> sean: we are getting off course here. >> i am a liberal. >> sean: that's obvious. we know that. he's practicing his religious views. to shut down the store every sunday -- >> that's great. >> sean: let me finish. he's practicing his religion. liberals want to hurt him because he doesn't agree with him. they didn't go after obama -- they didn't go after obama on the same position -- >> excuse me -- yes, he is -- [overlapping dialogue] >> sean: three weeks ago, he agreed with the owner of chick-fil-a. >> yes, he d. but he wanted -- ask reverend owens, my hero, the head of the coalitions of dprn pastor who is compared obam stojudas, saying he betrayed our community for the money. so after barack obama weighed in on same-sex marriage, george clooney raised $15 million. but going after dan kathy has backfire audio. >> sean: there were people who waited in line for two or three hours -- >> oh, my god. two to three hours for -- 400 calories, they have to be conservative because they are against health, a fried chicken sandwich, 5,000 calories? >> okay, nanny bloomberg. i like chick-fil-a. look at the lines. >> right. >> sean: i think you are misinterpreting what happened here. people are fed up with the idea that if you disagree with a liberal, if you are in talk radio, they want to attack your advertisers to shut you down. if you are on fox news, they want to do the same thing. liberals are the intolerant group. that is why americans showed up in droves today. >> true patriots believe in freedom of religion-- >>> and freedom of speech. >> exactly. but they wanted freedom from religion, it's a travesty with an elected official enlists a boycott. for the mayor to enlist a boycott. it's our freedom to have a boycott. but for the law to do it, that's a travesty. >> sean: today this, very day, i would argue is a bad day for religious freement. there are many people of conscience that do not believe in abortion-inducing drugs and birth control. a lot of people who don't agree, tom harkin made a statement that birth control mandated because women have terrible menstrual cramps, a brilliant statement by your fellow democrat. here's the point. look america in the eye -- why should people that have their religious views pay the $9 a month for birth control or pay for abortion-inducing drugs? they didn't have the sex? why should they be forced by the government to do something contrary to their deeply held religious belief? explain. >> number 1 is because the employers are not churches and religious organizations as much as they are employers-- >>> this is catholic institutions -- hospitals, charities. >> churches that employ thousands and thousands of people-- >>> why should they be forced to go against their belief. >> birth control is not just -- it's contraceptive. it is used for many other reasons. >> sean: abortion-inducing drugs? [overlapping dialogue] >> the last one to make -- >> homosexuality, birth control, those are the key issues. >> sean: you keep interrupting, you don't worry the question. >> tam tamara, this is not birth control, this is government control. when you have catholic organizations and people who have beliefs and the government mandates that you pay for abortion-inducing drugs -- >> like what? >> the morning-after pill. >> that's not abortion inducing, it is before the egg has been fortalized -- >> you don't know that. >> you don't know that. >> scientifically -- >> you don't know when -- when -- >> the egg has want been fertilized-- >>> we are getting -- the issue is it's about religious freedom. i would argue that today is the day that religious freedom in america, in many ways died. >> the left want to say that this is a war on women from the conservative side. this is a war on conservatives and a war on our religious freedom, to force a religious organization-- >>> you know something, this is where liberals ought to put their money where their mouth is, if you want to pay for the morning-after pill and for the $9 to pay for a birth control pill and buy condoms, have you every right to do so, but to force people to go against religious beliefs tells me you don't believe in religious freedom -- >> you cannot point your finger in my face and tell me-- >>> that's 4 feet away. >> i will put it closer to you. i do believe -- >> not if you want the government to force to pay for birth control -- [overlapping dialogue] >> sean: why don't you liberals -- put your money where your mouth is. >> put the birth control pill in front of the counter, why does it need to be a prescription? why don't we do that? >> the bottom line is this, the federal mandate forces religious organizations to go against their moral conscience, to go against god. >> they are employers. >> sean: we have to end it here. thank you both. amazing showing around the country in the chick-fil-a, across the country. coming up, how powerful is obama? valerie jarrod. we have two new disturbing reports as we vet the president about the critical role that the former real estate agent plays. michelle malkin will sound off next. and the outrageous new attack that senator harry reid is launching against governor rom flee and his deceased father. how his father would be embarrassed by mitt romney. we'll explain, coming up. i'm serious, we compare our direct rates side by side to find you a great deal, even if it's not with us.

and she has his ear more than others? >> i think it's entirely plows plausible. and i believe that valerie jarrett doesn't simply share obama's views, she may be directing them. you may recall that three summers ago, i joined nut studio to talk about the research from culture of corruption. and the one leading figure on his team that i singled out was valerie jarrett. the self-proclaimed brain of obama. i mean, she was heralded at obama's brain from the time they were growing close and intimate together, politically and ideologically in chicago. this is the ultimate obama insider. and is tight not only with barack obama but michelle obottom aof course. and i think that what makes her particularly dangerous is that toxic combination of radical left-wing ideology, coupled with chicago corruption. this is somebody whose name has come up many times in the house probes, committee members of the boondoggles in the billions that have been wasted on the crony companies and her name has been cited specifically in all of that. i think the other thing is that as you mention, she has become more and more visible as the campaign has dpn on. she joined twitter. and what was she crusading for? not only the disastrous tax hikes in a very dire economy, but also. ful. propagating all of this equal-pay myth stuff, to shell and panned tort left flank of the democratic party. >> sean: michelle, you are known as a fierce fighter, you don't back down. well, you are. little old you. >> yeah. you? >> are known as a fierce fighter. i am wondering what should romney be learning as he is experiencing these vicious attacks, the chicago way, if you will isn't president can't run on his record. that's all he has. they are attacking him -- bain capital, war on women, all of these things. if you had governor romney's ear, being the fighter that you are, what would you tell him? >> i think that in some ways, he's listening. we have talked about this in the past months about how he needs to drop the whole obama is a nice guy act. guess what? he did. there was a very encouraging report just in the last two weeks, reporting that some of his top staff have dropped that whole pretense and he needs to get tough. he needs to get tough, not only with team obama and the likes of valerie jaret and david axelrod, but also with the lap dogs in the media-- >>> yeah! >> yes. the lap doggies, doing their best to tear this man down and to do exactly what the white house done over the last four years, which is to foist false narrative after false narrative on the american public. now that it has come to hurt and to damage and to really face obama -- face romney directly, i think he finally gets it, that the mitts have to come off. >> sean: one of the things have you done, have you chronicled the culture of corruption, the title of your number-1, best-selling book. it's done well for years. there is a new ad out, slamming the obama white house for going off site to meet with lobbyist, most transparent administration, they thought they were getting clever, they meet the lobbyists off site because he said there would be no lobbyists in his white house. they have met in a coffee shop. >> we have put in place the toughest ethics laws and rules of any administration in history. >> a lot of the members of the administration were meeting with lobbyists at caribou coffee and other places and at these places, they don't have to disclose on the white house visitor log... >> sean: what do you think of that? >> good ad. have you to hit him harder, even harder. and shed as much sunlight on the darkness that has reigned over the beltway under the obama administration as possible. have you to nail them on the hypocrisy, the coffeehouse loophole, which is what i called it when it surfaced a couple of years ago, is the tip of the iceberg. the evasion and the intentional obstructionism and lack of disclosure and the specifically, to hide how much the obama administration has been in bed with all the same corporate interests that they turned around in front of the cameras and trashed, all of this hand-holding of these corporate interests, in particular that valerie jarrett herself has had a hand in. looking at the white house visitor laws and the kabuki theater around obama patting himself on the back and practically breaking his arm to try to create, again, a false narrative, that somehow we have the most disclosure ever. it's alice in wonderland, it's bizarreland, it's the exact opposite. >> sean: michelle malkin. all right. thanks. plenty more to come tonight, right here on lant. the senate majority leader brings the language of the left to a new low with harry reid taking a swing at mitt romney and his deceased father. can it get any lower?

>> i absolutely believe it's all about race. and for the first time in my life, i have been able to convince my children, finally, that racism is alive and well. >> sean: obama truth team member. outspoken surrogate. not a peep -- >> you know what, sean namerica, we no long vertime to mince words. we have to call this what it is. these people are pathological liallying about mitt romney. this is the guy, the straightest of all straight arrows and they are trying to claim he didn't pay his taxes 10 years. they are going to lie about him. they have been lying all along to the faces of the american people. we have to call this what it is. the president is out there deliberately trying to undermine the free market and destroy the foundational principles of this country. we have to tell the truth because obviously, they are want. >> i think it goes back to the beginning of the show, the perception of our politicians in this country. what kind of standard are we setting? what are we going to tell your children? run on your merits or attack the other team? i find it disgraceful. >> sean: there is a reason that i keep mentions that the president said, republicans are looking for dirty air and dirty water. if the republicans win, he will stab granny, shoot her in the heart and then throw her over a cliff. they get away with it because the media allows it. then we have the absurd. the viciousness of the attacks. then, you know, they don't want to talk about the economy. so let's talk about shamis, romney's dog. >> mitt romney wants to be our president. but he's listed in two animal cruelty databases. he admits to strapping his dag to the roof of his car for a 12-hour trip to canada. pet abuse.com has cited him for neglect and abandonment. more than two-thirds of americans say it was inhumane. should we have a president who isn't even qualified to adopt a pet? >> sean: which dog would you rather be shamis, on the roof of the car that made it? or the dog that obama ate? >> ohhhh. >> look, anemic economic growth, for over 40 months of 8-plus-percent unemployment, but bain capital, dog on car, birth control, war on women. they are doing everything they possibly can to deflect the american people's attention away. >> looking at the best thing that mitt romney can do is step up before the american people and say, he's going to make this a business and friendly environment and put people back to work and-- >>> exactly. i think that will resonate. that will resonate. >> get pro-growth policies in place. governor romney needs to talk about big themes. >> sean: we have to roll. coming up next, a swimmer sets a new world record and swims the last 50 meters of her race, faster than the male gold medal winner, ryan lochte. is that possible?

>> an employee with a base salary of $84,000 -- lich to this -- got $115,000 in overtime pay. there is something wrong at gsa when have you to pay an employee $115,000 in overtime. >> greta: transportation infrastructure committee chair jon mica is here. do we know who is in the presidential suite? a gsa employee? >> still don't know. gsa does not cooperate with us, greta. they sent a third-level administrator today. only on the job, a few months. the rest of them ducked for cover. >> greta: all right. there was a sound bite where you talked about somebody getting overtime pay of $115,000? >> yeah. we were looking at bonuses and then we stumbled across information and the media helped us uncover this fox through froism information. they give us one set of answers and they gave the media and we put it together. you add up the salaries and have you people walking away with a quarter million dollars with a low-based salary in one year. the place -- >> greta: but -- but the insanity of that is that that employee who had the $115,000 overtime on top of a base salary of $84,000 twould have been a far better deal if we hired a second person and pay that person $84,000 to do the job. that's a savings. >> that would make sense. this is an agency that doesn't make sense and has spun out of control. the more we dig -- now, you know, mr. denim and i started when we took over a year and-a-half ago, trying to get information because their administrative costs soared 300% in a year. we wanted to know where the money was and they kept stalling and stonewalling -- >> greta: who is "they"? >> gsa -- >> greta: but we have to start, like, find out who is doing and do something about it i. the former administrator is gone. the building administrator's gone. others are gone. they have been removed, fired or retired -- >> greta: but right now i. now we are on a second level of scandal and no one showed up from that second level of scandal. there are people who were... who are on tape -- we have the $20,000 drum sticks at that event, $35,000 of picture frames...: one person took medical leave last friday. i had to reschedule that hearing 3 times -- >> greta: okay. so we have a new flock who is supposedly now running the place. and by the way, the statistics coming out of that hearing is that the gsa gobbles up 10% of all the federal government bonus checks and only reflects 1% of the force. so we are now to group 2 running the gsa -- >> we are down to 3 -- because the second tier has been involved in the latest scandzals and they won't come forward and some of them are stepping aside. >> greta: why in the world do we need a quote, smart pay conference right now, going on in oprie -- wherever it is? what is a smart pay conference? >> we wouldn't know about any of these if we hadn't started digging -- >> greta: but what is it? >> you got me on that one. i have two investigators and the inspector general today. we asked him to get to the bottom of it, too. we have to make certain, first of all, the people who have been public for going on with these expensive, wasteful conferences are held at bay. then we have to make certain that this doesn't happen again and change the law or administrator practice that sets the agency's policy. >> greta: here's what i know about the conference, smart pay conference. i don't know how smart it is for us to be paying for it, i might add. so what this smart pay -- it's a training conference. it's for banks investing in the agency's so-called smart pay system. but also invites a range of officials within the gsa. so who's paying for the banks to attend? do we know that? i hope we are not? we are not, right? >> i have no idea, greta. but that's what our investigation -- we opened one door and we find four or five more scandals. this thing is mushrooming out of control. this is only-- the conferences are only the tip of the iceberg. this agency controls 14,000 properties, buildings, many of them, you helped me focus on -- being vacant, under utilized, losing millions of dollars -- >> greta: this is, the whole insanity. every time we need office space, instead of using empty buildings, we rent those. every place you look, it's more inefficient and more wasteful. it is other people's money. that's the problem. it is other people's money. >> right here in washington, in three empty buildings. one two blocks from the white house. a huge building empty. 15 years. recently at the power facility, two acres behind the ritz carlton in georgetown, vacant for 11 years. we are going to do one on monday in miami in a courthouse that has been vacant five or six years. >> greta: the irony is that the gsa, how much do they make in bonuses total last year? about -- is it $44 million? >> the press helped us. they told us it was only $10 million. i'm sorry. they fined $30 million. now, that's 10% of the bonuses and they have 1% of employees. >> greta: you get a bonus forking did a really good job. that's the theory of a bonus. you did a terrific job. >> wait. some of the guys on the different levels of the scandal were getting $50,000 bonuses and one of them -- resigned last week because he didn't want to come before us this week. >> greta: i hope that the gsa, if they are not in the fancy suite, someone calls to let us know because everybody's suspicious. thank you. >> thanks for staying on top of it with us. >> greta: what else does the gsa have to say for itself? it's acting administrator was not there. but the administrative officer was. griff jempgins tries to get answers from her. >> reporter: gsa officials were grilled before a house transportation committee over new allegations about conferences, bonuses and awards ceremonies. we even learned about a conference taking place today in nashville. acting administrator did not appear, but his deputy did. we attempted to speak with her. quick question, ma'am? i know you are asked a lot of questions today, but specifically with regard to what you look at, what does it say to the american people about their confidence in the gsa that there is this conference again in nashville, today? >> this conferencej in nashville is about credit cards and training individuals how it use credit cards. it's required by omb to have credit card training. >> reporter: i guess how confident are you -- can you reassure the american people that the stuff that's been going on with the conferences and the awards ceremonies stops and is not taking place today in nashville? >> this conference provides up to 17 -- [inaudible], they are in training 6 to 8 hours a day. >> reporter: how confident are you that we are not going to hear something come out in a few day it's you were asked this by the committee -- that is going to shake the american people's confidence and in the gaa in ending these instances? >> as i said, this conference is to provide training, regarding credit cards, which are used by the federal government, to save money. >> it seems as though you weren't briefed and you couldn't answer any of the questions about bonuses. why did they send to you answer these questions? >> i was here because -- >> ma'am, why did they send to you answer these questions? >> reporter: finally, you can tell me with confidence there is no gsa employee in one of the presidential suites, that we are not going to have that story? this is under your purview. you reviewed this conference, are you sure there is not going to be a gsa employee in a room like that? a final comment, and i will leave you alone. you can assure the american people there is not going to be any inappropriate behavior at this conference, any gsa employees in suites, anything that we have seen so much of, that has upset the american people? any confidence? don't you think the acting administrator should have been here, considering that this was going to happen? that we were going to talk about a conference taking place today? you mind if i talk to her for a second? >> no. >> reporter: ma'am? do you think that the administrator should have been here? >> she has to get in the vehicle. >> reporter: okay. >> all right. >> we appreciate... >> ma'am, you represent the united states government. >> reporter: in a conference before the house transportation committee, gsa officials were grilled, in particular, a conference we have learned is taking place today in nashville. we tried to speak with the deputy administrator, who wasn't here. she wouldn't talk to us in the halls and she is leaving now. >> greta: there are new questions in the fast & furious scandal. the department of justice inspector eligible is getting ready to release his report on the botched gun-running operation. but tonight, some are wonders figure he might have a conflict of interest. three years before he became the inspector general, he wrote a job recommendation letter for lanny brewer to help him get the job as attorney general. breuer has come up in the investigation. so was the investigation independent in the justice department officials and the possible roles in or does he have a conflict of interest? tray gowdy met with the inspector general and he is here. >> good to see you,. >> greta: so, do you have any problem with mr. horowitz investigating who may include lenny breuer. >> the fact that you have a prior relationship does not automatically mean you cannot be unbiased, but it is certainly something that -- you would want to factor into the equation and the burden of persuasion will be higher for mr. horowitz. to his credit, he was very upfront about it when we met with him. i read the letter today, the letter of recommendation. it was glowing. but facts are stubborn things -- >> greta: all right. you and i are both lawyers. lenny breuer was a lawyer i. would i seat him on a jury? no. >> greta: the appearance of impropriety. it may be that he is able to be completely independent, but the appearance is what we look at as lawyers because it is just not smart to have someone twho doesn't have the appearance of being fair because of a relationship? >> i wouldn't see him as a juror. that's the standard i would use. if he stood up in a jury panel and said, i know a witness, i would use a strike against him. i don't have a strike. he was confirmed by the september. this is who we are stuck with -- >> greta: he didn't become the inspector general until april, right? >> i think he was nominated prior to thefn. but there was a little delay confirming him with this senate. this issue -- i sound like an apologist and i don't mean to be -- what strikes me is -- his report may be -- you know... everyone is capable of telling truth and everyone is capable of not telling the truth. he has a distinguished career as a prosecutor in an outstanding judicial district. high worked public corruption cases. he may be able to be fair -- but the burden's going to be high, there are two problems. if you like someone, if you think someone is above reproach, you have written a letter of recommendation, it is hard to step back and have that calculating look at it that you -- critical look at t. that's the first thing. the american people and the border agent's family really deserve the best we have, especially that border agent's family. he can be enormously fair. but whether they go to bed at night fthey think the fix was in because of one buddy investigating a buddy, even if it's fair, are we doing a service to the family? is that fair to the american people? >> well, the result matters and the process matters. if you don't have confidence in the process, the result doesn't matter. i... i would have recused myself. i had friends, kids get in trouble when i was the d.a., i ricused myself and sent it to another office. i don't know whether the inspector general has this ability or not. i know this -- and i told jason chafitz, he may be so aware of the appearance of bias that he over-corrects it. >> greta: and it is to his credit that he -- there is no conflict if everybody knows about it so you can have the choice for him not to be the one. but we don't get that choice. that's the problem. >> i would prefer to have someone with no connection to eric holder or lenny breuer, i have been very critical of lenny breuer. he was very forthcoming about it. would i prefer to have someone who didn't know either one of them? yes. the chances of finding someone who didn't have any relationship with the current department of justice official who is is going to be an inspector general is not very high. >> greta: you know, this has changed my view -- as an aside, who should investigate the leaks of national security information. there are two u.s. attorneys, one appointed by president bush, a republican, and one appoint bide president obama, a democrat. we have had problems with special prosecutors and i thought this might be better, even though there is squawking. having seen this and knowing that people will really -- may not have faith in it, even if it is fair, i now think you should get someone outside, totally. >> we used to call it independent prosecutor. and we used that word for a reason. you want someone not connected to any of the interested parties. when i was reading the letter today, on mr. horowitz and lenny breuer, he clearly has a high opinion of him. does that mean necessarily, he cannot be fair? i will tell you. i hope what you will pay attention and i know you will-- the department of justice has a chance to correct the inspector general's report and say you were wrong here or wrong there. i will be very curious, whether or not this inspector general takes the corrections offered by the department of justice. i want to see his independence, which he promised he would be. the other thing is he serves at the pleasure of the president. we may have the same president come january. we may not. if he wants to hang on to his job, me needs to do a good job of proving to us that he is independent. >> greta: i might add that lenny breuer has nothing to do with this. it is how it appears and whether people can have confidence in it. when is this report by mr. horowitz coming out? >> he said weeks and not months and that was two weeks ago. my guess is it will be in late august. but that is just a guess. he laid out the timeline for us. i think it will be transmit to the department of justice. but they will have an opportunity to say you are wrong here or there -- >> greta: before it is released? >> yes. >> greta: wait a minute. the justice department -- wait a second. that is suspect. we have someone who is the independent within the department doing an evaluation of the department, looking for wrongdoing before he surrenders that to the american people, the justice department gets to look at it -- >> he does not have to accept -- >> greta: accept. >> it's like giving someone a chance to read their disposition and say, i didn't say that. the court reporter decides whether you did or not. he does not have to accept what they say -- >> greta: yeah, but they are all in the same building. they are all friends. look -- >> telling you what he said. i am just telling what you he said -- >> greta: do you like this -- do you like this process? >> i would rather someone who had no connection with anyone at the department of justice. >> greta: i would like someone who doesn't give the report to the people he's investigating to give to the people before he surrender its to the american people? >> i would like someone someone that has subpoena power, that's the other thing to look out for, whether or not people refuse to cooperate with him. he will come before our committee like the attorney general holder and all the questions about bias and conflict of interest will be raised. i do want to give -- he is a career prosecutor. i want to give him a chance to do what is right before i leap to the conclusion that he has not. >> greta: congressman, thank you. is the obama administration trying to intimidate defense companies?

was it a memo from the department of labor? >> that's correct. there is a memo issue onned on monday, saying it was inappropriate to issuing the layoffs as a result of the sequestration cuts. now the issue, whether it becomes an election issue is that sequestration takes effect january 2. have you to roll back 60 days for the federally rerequired layoff notice, the friday before the election. >> greta: what it is, there is a law that says if you are a big, huge company and you want to lay off people, have you to give them a 60-day notice. >> that's correct. it's the warren act, for all large companies, making significant layoffs, a sizable amount, like closing a plant. with the sequestration, we are facing $5 billion in defense cuts over 10 years fthey go into effect. so the contractors are worried, lockheed martin has said they were going to issue the notices to all 123,000 of their employees. >> greta: so the obama administration wasn't happy because they don't want that to go out to the employees. >> that's what the republicans are saying. >> greta: is there any doubt that the warren act applies to the defense contracts? >> there is. there is something people and the labor department says that because it is still unknown whether or not sequestration is going to go into effect -- democrats and republicans want it to be stopped. so because of that uncertainty, they say, that it may radio it doesn't apply. >> greta: all right. the department of labor, if they think this doesn't apply because it is not inevitable, is the labor department able or willing or have the authority to waive the 60-day requirement? >> no. the labor department doesn't have any enforcement mechanism. so the republicans have warned contractor, you could be sued, even if the labor department heads a memo, if your employees sue you if you lay them off, you can't point to the memo and say, that's why we didn't issue the notices. >> greta: what provoked the labor department to issthe memo? there was heat from the defense industry on the labor department? or they using this as leverage to try to get the obama administration and capitol hill to make decisions? >> yeah. there has been a lot of heat on the hill and from the industry. the industry studies say there could be a million defense jobs lost if sequestration goes into effect. lockheed martin threat nick, and the republicans are cuz accusing -- are accusing the obama administration of not preparing and telling the industry how the cuts are going to take effect. >> greta: who wins? >> that's a question. democrats say republicans are playing politics on this. you had obama last week saying republicans are protecting millionaires over the military. republicans say it's the other way around and it's democrats insisting on tax increases at the expense of the military. >> greta: are all the defense contractors acting in unison, or a select few? >> there has been division. others have been hesitant because it puts them in a vulnerable position businesswise with shareholders. lockheed plater and i know their ceo has been the most vocal. >> greta: i guess you would be hard pressed. if you are a big employer and a defense contractor and you have to lay off a lot of people, if you near a wait-and-see position and there is no -- there is no deal made on the sequestration, have you to add 60 more days to your notices because you waited to see what would happen. am i right? that does put the squeeze on the contractors. >> it's tough. they say they need more certainty. you are not getting the advice from the obama administration about how these cuts will go into effect. on the hill, they have a lot of allies, yelling for months that something has to be done about sequestration. >> greta: has the obama administration, besides the fact they say they don't want to scare people, have they given any other justification for sending out the memo? >> no, i mean, it's the law. they say they areacking in a legal guidance. >> greta: but they are not saying that these people are acting illegally. >> you're correct. >> greta: and the law doesn't require the department of labor to do this? >> it is not. >> greta: the department of labor has decided they want to do this themselves? >> that's -- the allegation that republicans are making is that it's a political move that it is the white house that is pushing this. democrats say, it is the labor department trying to give more guidance on the issue. >> greta: but nobody's-- the defense department -- defense contractors haven't asked for the guidance. >> no, the defense contractors have not asked for. >> greta: and the defense department is not required to do >> that's correct. >> greta: they did this for political motive or because they want to enlighten workers? >> that's the issue on the hill, where where they are divided. >> greta: indeed, they are divided. coming up, chick-fil-a is in a heated controversy. and you don't see this kind of police chase every day. the car is smart -- but we can't the car is smart -- but we can't say the same thing for the down here, folks measure commitment by what's getting done. the car is smart -- but we can't say the same thing for the the twenty billion doars bp committed has helped fund economic and environmental recovery. long-term, bp's made a five hundred million dollar commitment to support scientists studying the environment. and the gulf is open for business - the beaches are beautiful, the seafood is delicious. last year, many areas even reported record tourism seasons. the progress continues... but that doesn't mean our job is done. we're still committed to seeing this through. and also to build my career. so i'm not about to always let my frequent bladder urges, or the worry my pipes might leak get in the way of my busy lifestyle. that's why i take care, with vesicare. once-daily vesicare can help control your bladder muscle and is proven to treat overactive bladder with sympts of frequent urges and leaks day and night. if you have certain stomach or glaucoma problems, or trouble emptying your bladder, do not take vesicare. vesicare may cause allergic reactions that may be serious. if you experience swelling of the face, lips, throat or tongue, stop taking vesicare and get emergency help. tell your doctor right away if you have severe abdominal pain, or become constipated for three or more days. vesicare may cause blurred vision, so use caution while driving or doing unsafe tasks. common side effects are dry mouth, constipation, and indigestion. i've worked hard to get to where i am... and i've got better aces to go than always going to the bathroom. so take charge of your symptoms by talking to your doctor and go to vesicare.com for a free trial offer. [♪...] >> i've been training all year for the big race in chicago, but i can only afford one trip. and i just found out my best friend is getting married in l.a. there's no way i'm missing that. then i heard about hotwire and i realized i could actually afford both trips. see, when really nice hotels have unsold rooms, they use hotwire to fill them. so i got my four-star hotels for half-price! >> men: ♪ h-o-t-w-i-r-e ♪ hotwire.com >> announcer: save big on car rentals too, from $12.95 a day. >> greta: from california to chicago to texas and florida, today, across the country, long lines at chick-fil-a. why? supporters of the fast-food chain are calling today chick-fil-a appreciation day. they are backing it is company's president who, is under fire for his public opposition to gay marriage. the mayors of chicago, san francisco and boston telling chick-fil-a it is want welcome in their cities. the boston herald business editor is here. nice to see you. >> thank you for having me, greta. >> greta: greg, first of all, i want to get an idea about chick-fil-a. is it privately held? how big is it? tell me about it? >> it's a pretty big company. they have 1600 restaurants. mostly across the south of the united states. they have started up in atlanta and 1967. the family-owned restaurant dates back before that under another name. but they are pretty sizable fast-food chicken company. >> greta: i assault revenues are giant with a company that big? >> yes. somewhere around $4 billion last year. so they do pretty well. >> greta: is it -- i forgot, is it publicly or privately owned. >> it's a family business, has been all along. >> greta: and who is the owner right now? a man named dan kathy? >> yes. dan kathy. a lot more people know about him than they probably used to in the last few weeks. he is the son of the founder, truitt kathy. it's a strong southern baptist family. as many people know, they wear their values on their sleeve and have been speaking out lately in and gathered a lot of support because ever that. >> greta: when he made his statement about marriage, was he doing it in the context of a personal vent or it was he doing it on behalf of the corporation? >> it depends on how you read into t. he was speaking as the president of the company to, i think it was the baptist press. it was sort of the first time that he had publicly come out and spoken about his positions on family values. you know, a lot of people didn't agree with his views on gay marriage. many people did, obviously. >> greta: i know that chick-fil-a -- it's been a company that has with the ceo has been devoted to his religious principles. i have been to airports on sunday and they are not opened on sundays. i am curious whether or not, besides his statement, has he been at all active in anything that would be -- that would be offensive to -- to gay citizens? >> it's hard to safely i think he has had some statements here and there have been financial support for anti-gay groups, you know, along the way. and that's what has brought out the gay and lesbian community against the company. that's what -- >> greta: i am trying -- i'm sorry. go ahead. >> no, that's what prompted the mayor of boston up here where i am, to speak out against that and try to stop them from coming to boston irk i am trying to understand whether his statement is any different from, let's say, a gay ceo of another company who would be, you know, promoting gay marriage. is it functionally equivalent? >> i think so. i think a lots of people would think so. that's why they seem to be getting a lot of support. today with thousands of people lining up across the country to show their support and have a delicious lunch at the same time. >> greta: any assessment on how much their revenues jumped today, out of the ordinary, result of this? >> there is no way to tell because that's obviously not disclosed by the company. but, you know, we had a reporter, aaron smith, from the herald, at the local chick-fil-a, there is one outside of boston here. and you know, there were reports that the business was up 150%, 200%. there was a customer who came from a nearby town who was a kosher vegetarian and wanted to be there, ordering the fruit salad. >> greta: it's hard to assess whether people are there for freedom of speech or whether people are there because they are opposed to gay marriage. how do we know? >> i -- it seems to be more free speech when you talk to people about it. especially around here because that's -- you know, people were reacting to the mayor of boston... you know, putting his -- you know -- opposing the chain coming into boston, in particular. >> greta: has he backed off by the way? i see the july 20 letter, in which he wrote dan kathy? he said he urges him not to locate a chick-fil-a in boston. has the mayor now -- backed off that? >> when the boston herald broke the story, he start the by saying, chick-fil-a does not belong in boston. and he told us that he would -- that the chain would find it very difficult to get whatever license they would need in the city. and that -- that drew some negative reaction in the private sector, just as a business issue. and a week later, he did soften his stance and told us that he would -- he wouldn't actively oppose them trying to open up in a private deal. that's their right. but he maintained his opposition to dan cathy and stood by his letter to the head of the company. >> greta: i take it that dan kathy has not changed his statement, either? >> no. the company has not said too much publicly since issuing a statement, stressing that their restaurants don't discriminate in their service at all to people. you know, it is sort of -- carried on -- on in social media, penal passing around the mayor's letter. it is really created a groundswell and then with mike huckabee, you know, calling for the appreciation day on the other side of the issue. >> greta: is this over? is this going to go on? have you figured that one out? >> it's amazing how long it has gone on and maybe going to end up being good for business for chick-fil-a because maybe they are having more customers show up. but, you know, it's hard to tell how long this will go on. it is interesting. >> greta: indeed, it is. thank you. >> thank you. >> greta: coming up, are there big secrets at the white house? some republicans just discovered email sent from a prior address at a white house official. why the cloak-and-dagger tactics? in two minutes, florida senator marco rubio is taking on barack obama and he is using his twitter account to do it. what has senator rubio so fired up. find out >> greta: florida senator marco rubio take egg swipe at president obama. why in he doesn't think it's fair that u.s. olympic medal winners have to pay taxes on their prizes. they receive cash payments and they earn $25,000 for gold and $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze and the irs collects taxes. rubio says that it punishes success and he is tweeting, olympic champions shouldn't have tax on medals, unless president obam believes they didn't earn them -- someone else did that. if you have a business, you didn't build that. senator rubio is not only tweeting, he is introducing a bill to eliminate taxes on prize money won by u.s. athletes. should olympic athletes be taxed on their winnings?

or does it look like jim does emails like i do? >> there may be some of both. in some cases, according to the white house,arn aide would get an eflail someone who would send it to his private and can he would respond from that account, preserving the record, cc-ing the white house or keeping it. in other cases, it seems like there might be a deliberate attempt. >> greta: proprietary meetings off campus, republicans calling this the caribou coverup, there is a caribou coffee where they are having key meetings. they know the names of people who spend a couple of bucks on a cup of joe, won't be on the visitor logs and the white house did make the logs public, but that's an incomplete picture of the meetings. >> greta: this is one email, which leader pelosi won't be crazy about. it says, i will roll poulose tow get the $4 billion and wrote to a pharmaceutical researcher and lobbyist jeffrey forbes from his personal account. >> exactly. they needed to find ways to get the coalition group groups on board and find numbers that fit and go to congress and say, this is what we have done. again, they promised to be open, honest, transparent -- >> greta: and not dealing with lobbyists. >> right. no access for lobbyists. but this is the way you get legislation done in washington. you need to get interest groups on board. you need to get lobbyists on board. they were trying to create a perception of the president conducting himself in a different matter. but this is the way that things get done. >> greta: if you say you are going to do it one way and you do it another and you try to cover it up -- i don't know about the email -- it could be like i do. but i know when i am getting a meeting off campus, that's deliberate. >> the republican response on this, they are not saying that they would have done things differently or that they will in the future. they are saying that the president promised better. they like to remind everyone that the democrats were furiously investigating cheney's task force and the meetingings and they say this is akin to that. >> greta: do we have all the private emails?
