security issues. >> fred, you both describe in this book, create an atmosphere of a lawless city. a den of thieves and spies, where danger was present. why was the state department there and ambassador christopher stephens there. >> the mystery of why ambassador stevens was there was due to open an outdoor event for the local community. having said that, the decision to move ambassador stevens to benghazi is one that we really don't know the details surrounding that. for example, as chief emission, the u.s. ambassador is the president's rep. that's where the buck stops. he's the commapder in chief -- commander in chief. >> this mission was not well secured. there's a long and tragic history of event at american diplomatic facilities. some include the 1979 tehran hostage taking, 1983 bombings, in nairobi, kenya, tanzania in 1998, bombings. given how often this happened, and how many commissions have been put out there to study and how many recommendations have occurred, how could this again? >> in the book we speak to a former agent. he said people are being shot, the embassy is be

thanks for your time, fred tomczyk for td ameritrade. down day for the market. can you pretext yourself from further losses? dan nathan has today's options action. >> interesting segue from retail trading to institutional trading. couple options or a few that caught my eye today. you know, specifically with the market down, one of the worst days in a couple weeks there was a buyer of the february spy, that's the etf on the spx, 170, 162 put spread paying 8 acents for that 35,000 times. not a small trade, people, it breaks even down 5.5% on february expiration. the second was in the vix. it's coming off the lows approaching two-month highs. a trader bought 30,000 of the january 1630 call spreads paying a dollar for that. okay, that thing is a very interesting trade to me because the high of the year you can see it on this chart is 22 bucks. we haven't been above that. that breaks even, you know, well above the highs and i guess the last trade was in the xlf, a sector has been very much in favor of the finances looking for a breakout. a buyer of 140,000 of the jan

. >> well, fred, there is no one else quite like mike tyson. his rise was meteoric. he's a convicted rapist, a crime he says he didn't commit. he's an entertainer and now earning raves for his one-man show on broad way. he doesn't have just a second act, he's had three, four, five acts. i talked to him about all of them. >> you are a broadway star now. >> i have been called worse, i agree. >> 20 years ago, if i said to you, of all the things you might do with your life, would you believe you would be headlining a show on broadway? >> no, but i'm glad i am. i'm a serious guy, but when i perform, i like to perform. i like to evoke feelings from people. >> you grew up in the bad section of brooklyn. how many times were you arrested as a kid. >> quite a few times. over 30 times. over 40 times. >> what? >> yeah. by the time i was 12, 11. >> how do you deal with going from that to being a guy who, when you were only 20 years old, the heavyweight champion of the world. once you get there, how difficult is it to deal with it? >> money is a false sense of security. it makes y

then i want you to hear fred describe what happened next. >> reporter: we were turned away pretty quickly. it seemed as though they were shell shocked. these were soldiers. clearly not in a very good mood. certainly it seemed as though the last thing they wanted on the scene there was western television crew. there was syrian tv there and chinese film. they were able to film a little longer. the soldiers instructed us to leave as fast as possible. >> we had to borrow footage, photos from our reuters crew working alongside our cnn crew in order to tell this story. just a little bit of the back story of what it takes for our cnn crews to get the story for you in case you missed it. one last piece of video, your nation's christmas tree was lit, aha, beautiful pictures there capital lawn tonight. >>> we have to take a quick break here. when we come back we get to talk to the newest member of our cnn family. bill weir. he worked at abc. now you're you're ours. so nice to see you. i can't wait to hear this cool story about the homeless man faced with a unique offering, right? >> right. >> so we

jenna: fred mentioned the point i would ask you about is the sentence. what difference does this plea make? she still faces life in prison? >> now that she pled to second degree the judge can take that into account this was not a premeditated act that would go to whether he wants to enhance her sentence, to go higher, to vary her sentence, to go up over the sentencing guidelines or reduce it and go below the sentencing guidelines. more of a point of mitigation. the interesting part i found out about this story was reading between the lines that the defense attorney made a comment in some of these reports that the government made this offer. so i'm wondering if the government was concerned by reading the jury that they may not have gotten a conviction for first or second-degree murder. jenna: let me ask you on that. because as someone that worked as a defense attorney in cases like this how does this come about? i mean depending on who made the first offer, they're in the middle of this trial. have both side been talking? is that even allowed? or does sud

as fred mentioned i will be presenting highlights on the policy on the expansion of the vehicle license fee. so, supervisor mar's office asked us to make a projection of the revenues that the city would realize if it raised and vlf level to 2 percent and how it would impact income levels and asked to allocation of the impact of levels including the expansion of munis service providing more runs, investment in the maintenance of the munis fleet, street repaving, bicycle improvements, and pedestrian safety improvements. these five funding areas were analyzed based on 5 policy objectives including changing transportation mode chair from private vehicle use, improvement to munis on time performance and reduction in carbon emissions and impact on the safety and traffic of the public and capital cost. on slide 3 you will see our projections on the amount of revenue if the vlf is increased to 5.to 2 percent. it's important to note that these projections don't include certain factors that will likely affect it and these include one time administrative cost that sb 1492 requires that the city an

let's turn to you, fred. look at this situation, there has been a lot of talk about security, not just at the games but elsewhere in russia, surrounding the games. someone who has had experience securing an olympic games, what do you think russia can do our needs to do in this situation? >> it's going to be extraordinarily difficult to secure the transportation hub leading in and out of the olympic venue. having protected olympic athletes at these kinds of events before, the focus will gear down toward the olympic village to make sure that the athletes are safe. it really is a daunting challenge to try to just secure the perimeter and the infrastructure leading to and from sochi. >> let me bring in kimberly. russians, as opposed to what we have to deal with in our free country here, they can just throw people in prison whenever they want, accuse them of tax evasion's or get some punk rock girls and throw them in a work camp. >> they're putting so many resources into protecting sochi. putin has a personal stak

it's scary. >> fred, let's get your thoughts on this. do you think the justice department made the right call or the wrong call? >> well, you know, i'm in the middle. this guy barrett who is a defendant in this case, is he a terrible terrible guy. he bashes a 79-year-old african-american in the back of head. as far as i'm concerned can, he can stay in prison so long that his final parole hearing is in front of star lee command. i have a bigger issue. we have had a ton of these knockout cases. part of your role as prosecutors and part of the role of the justice department is to send a message to the public that safe and that the justice department and the law applies to everyone. i think the justice department if they are going to prosecute this case, it's a terrible case and i'm not even sure they have jurisdiction. but with that aside for a second, why is this the first knockout case that the doj has decided to render an indictment on? >> ted can you answer that. >> sure. i think that. >> if the races were reversed, would we see federal

the man behind the numbers, pollster fred yang. fred and bill, this was a topic of conversation yesterday. is president obama, reagan or clinton or is he more like bush or carter? fred, what in the numbers, are you optimistic and what have you concerned? >> i think barack obama will be barack obama. for obama supporters, obama opponents and those in the middle, right now the issue of the day for them is health care. it seems like the last couple of years he is in charge of events. fundamentally that's what paul was saying. where is the leadership and the vision that we expected? i think health care is the issue of the day for him. things look like they are turning around. you look at the economic numbers. they were better for him than the shut down. i think it's too early to on where he will be. he was at this place august of 2011 and managed to recover. >> it's interesting and we will put up and i asked this question of our respondents, do you think it's a short-term set back or snag is longer term. the majorities say it's longer

i want to get fred state because it is interesting so much talk about the midterm election. this e-mail. >> well, as you point out, it is a fund-raising e-mail, and they are desperate, and this is what they have to use. democrats remember 1998 when bill clinton was impeached. bill clinton avoided it easily, and it backfired republicans to did not do well. well, bill clinton was still popular. he had a high approval rating. obama has neither of those. he -- democrats better be careful when aeries in his impeachment issue. lori: how will obamacare which actually goes into effect this week affects 2014? >> i don't think that they could be 01 minutes johnny party..3 they have to run growth and have positive ideas on many issues and if they're out there trying to repeal obamacare they have to talk about free-market patients centric. what is happening is many americans like the idea of health reform is starting to realize there is a literal and figurative cost to that. it is not just if it happens to you but people who you love or in your circle of friends, colleagues, family memb
