look at judd gregg from new hampshire. he stepped down as a senator and has now been hired by goldman sachs and they're giving him a lot of money and they are taking a thousand jobs from our economy and moving them overseas. he helped to write the bill that gave goldman sachs millions of dollars and now they are rewarding him. we are not seeing what they are really doing. i had my fingers crossed that the commission would have some reasonable, moderate individuals on there because our country was once run by moderates individuals. republicans and democrats both. host: is the obama white house planning an october surprise for next year to give the president's reelection campaign a boost? right below that is this item. and in "the hill" -- deirdre tweets -- cincinnati, ronald on our independent line. can or should washington do more to help the economy? caller: yes, they should. don't you think it's about time to put money back into the country by getting jobs for people? host: how would you like to see that happen? caller:

. >> gregg there. >> katanga steve, will davis with the united nations office in washington, d.c.. a quick question for the ambassador and the other panelists will want to comment does the u.n. peacekeeping mission monusco in the drc have the resources necessary to carry out the rule it's been asked to do in support of the elections since the indian contingent has announced they're taking on their helicopters are they going to need to divert resources from their already very mandate occupy an activity of the protection of civilians in order to help and election? >> thank you. right in the front there. >> woodrow wilson center. i wonder whether one can punctuate the members of the panel to talk about politics. in other words why have we moved from two rounds 281 round system why are the elections lists unavailable? is indeed a little -- isn't it unrealistic for the meaning of the congolese to assume, which it seems to me is the assumption behind some of the statements made that this is all inefficiency, coming late to the table and is there no system behind all this? i think if you

senator gregg was just a key member of the commission. it is no doubt by far the big structural issue in the united states is our fiscal deficit. it is a formidable issue. coming back to the bowl since then deficit commission, i think what they show to the rest of the world is what a lot of the markets already understand. we are such a rich country and such a big economy that if we act soon and there is a shared sacrifice, we can solve the problem by exporting the sacrifice brought different segments of our country's social upper passed to sacrifice too much. the longer we wait, obviously, the more difficult it will be. what do we have to do to get our fiscal house in order? i think it comes down to -- we need to grow. when we go about it, we have to reform entitlements. we have to reform a tax system. we have to reform a tax system so it gives us the revenues we need and give us growth. i start off by saying, despite all the criticism and how poorly the government performed and all of that, i think the criticism is deserving. let me tell

senator judd gregg.

i do -- with senator gregg because he knows more about it. if one of the lessons i learned in washington is it is almost impossible to get something big and difficult and controversial gun without a crisis. twice we got congress to act, and they did it before the system collapsed, but it took a crisis. and even if the vast majority of members of congress, in my judgment, understood the deficit and were determined to disarm the about it, it would still be an ugly process to get there. it would take time and be an ugly process. i will get to the tea party. i get all of my republican friends and democrat friends -- mainly democrats -- asking about the tea party and trying to put me on the spot. i start off by saying -- you know what? the tea party did not come on to capitol hill with guns and take over by force. they were elected. elections have consequences and voters from both parties respond to the people who voted for them. and there were a lot of people came in the last election, the voters wanted them to come in and change government. and

"happening now" starts right now. have a good day. jenna: we start with this fox news alert out of libya, brand new developments, on the one hand, you have reports, reports that the rebels inside libya have this man, qaddafi, surrounded in the residential compound. those reports are unsubstantiated at this time and we have this just coming to us from the associated press, the spokesman for moammar qaddafi, telling the a.p. that qaddafi is safe, healthy, his morale is high, he is indeed leading the battle for our freedom, and independence every day. so one consistencey in the story seems to be the inconsistencies of reports coming out from inside libya. we have a live report from our very own steve harrigan, straight ahead. >>> first a fox news weather alert and brand new information coming in on the track of hurricane irene. it's one of our big stories this week. we're so glad you're with us, i'm jenna lee. rick: i'm rick folbaum in for jon: jon scott and irene isa category three, gro

former ambassador donald gregg is somewhat of an expert on the current situation has recently written a paper that's been published in both the united states and korea that talks about the food shortage in north korea. and in the past that our government has been one that supports supplying food to the north koreans to help them with the starvation issues they have. and he's arguing in newspaper that the united states should reinstitute that program this current administration has not decided to provide food to north korea. should we be providing food to north korea? >> i'm not sure that there's anything ambassador greatest ever written that i ever agreed with. [laughter] we've had some interesting conversations but if you don't want to call them arguments, but that's a very good question. i would say fully once, you know, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me. the biggest issue, the recent white united nations, white ngos and i geos come into government or decision and non-non-governmental organizations, have what is called donor fatigue, a slang term that was invaded because nort

>>gregg: there's an interesting push coming on with how parents view the importance of education and their careers. i see that there are a multiple of opportunities for kids to come back who have gone through that creative thinking and analytical thinking, good communication in english and other languages, to thrive in companies in china because they don't get that internally necessarily. >>reporter: that is, unless they opt for option two. after completing his compulsory chinese education, 16 year old dang xuyang was able to enter harrowinternational school's sixth form to study for britain's a levels - so avoiding college foundation courses and other problems faced by his peers. >>xuyang: most foreign universities do not recognise chinese secondary school qualifications. there was also aproblem with my english language proficiency at that time. so coming to this school was one of the best ways to solve these problems. >>reporter: many leading international schools adopt the same strategy. however, another foreign player is focused primarily on domestic students. >>old etonian willi

because gridlock at least stops politicians from doing additional stupid things now in the long run gregg luck is a problem because we had desperately need to fix these entitlement programs this giant unfunded liability that the politicians have given us and that's clearly not an issue for the fed that's something that has to be done in the real sector of the economy so i am not optimistic i think america i left something dramatic happens we are basically baked into the cake as we say we're going to become another greece within ten twenty thirty years i mean i don't have the exact a year if i did i'd probably be a rich wall street guy but i know that the the prognosis is very grim ok patrick kennedy there are some pundits out there and experts who say that this is really a political problem ok obviously that's if there's a financial crisis going on here but it's of their if it's not it there's no way a monetary solution is a political solution and it has to have leadership in washington and i would say in europe we don't have leadership in either areas. look the situation is exactly that
