example of the obama administration s poor management skills. jay carney at the white house fired back, said it is preposterous to politicize the secret service. where does the blame fall? well, again, you heard i think it was senator collins say that supervisors were involved here. something is breaking down. you know, last week, we were focused on gsa, and we know the white house knew of that scandal almost a year ago, had a briefing at one of their councils, we got the time, dates, people involved, and let it ride. if, again, this prostitute didn t come for payment at the embassy, probably this all would have been swept under the table, too. so government requires a constant cleansing and oversight, especially ours, and that s what s great about it. jon: all right, congressman john mica, republican from
weeks about this gsa investigation. not so much that the president is is president for it, and you saw a lot of push back on the sunday shows for that, but something charles krauthammer said on my panel, george will echoed this weekend is that concern about big government and the ability to police, or have a leash on all of this. doesn t bode well for this government as it stand now. jon: symptomatic of problems, if you re finding problems at an agency like the secret service, which as you say is supposed to be the best of the best, it makes you wonder what else is going on in other lesser-known corners of government. i think there is broadly a distrust of government that has increased in recent years. there is broadly a disrespect for institutions, as more of these scandals come up.
iran s claims to be believed that they really were able to reverse engineer that cia drone. what they said is more concerning to the u.s. intelligence community is that iran will try and break down the drone and offer access to various places like china they are very interested in the stealth coating which makes it hard if not impossible for the drone to be detected by radar. after the osama bin laden raid in pakistan where we lost that helicopter tail that had the stealth coding, once again the chinese were there right eye way. that is really the concern. not the reengineering of the cia drone but iran will use it to offer access to people in return for technology or maybe even a deal with the u.n. security council in the future. jenna: a lot to pay attention tow today. thank you very much. jon: americans in kenya on high alert after warnings of a terror attack. the u.s. embassy says there is a credible threat, and government buildings and hotels in nairobi
high value or fleeting targets, things that are buried deep in enemy territory or buried deep underground or that are only present for a she short window of time. so you wouldn t necessarily have time to do a conventional attack with a b2 flying out of oklahoma. you could instead launch one of these on very short notice and it could fly and attack that target. jon: we have a simulation of what mach-20 looks like, which is a kind of speed that this thing is achieving. there s a fighter jet in the foreground and that thing streaking by, that s the falcon that potentially could cross the country at 12 times, or 20 times, i guess, the speed of sound. that across the country in 12 minutes was the number i was thinking about. and here is actual video of it, that contrail way up in the sky, that s actual video of this thing being tested. it basically started to melt the skin on the the skin on the thing started to melt and peel away, which caused
experience is they re quite professional, i always felt this way but this is really disturbing and we have to get to the bottom of it. jon: meantime, defense secretary leon panetta getting ready for his own trip to colombia this week, his visit planned months ago, now almost certainly will be overshadowed by this scandal. joinings, republican john mica of florida. who is responsible for getting to the bottom of what happened here? well, i serve on the government reform and oversight committee, and they have very broad just distinction jurisdiction. i m probably the most senior member right now but we have our committee fully investigating all aspects of this, and i was briefed by them this morning and there are some interesting new twists and turns, unfortunately. jon: is this the kind of investigation where the congress and the administration will be working hand in hand? well, they do theirs,
