escalating health care costs in medicaid and medicare putting huge pressure on the overall budget and that's why i think it's important to have a conversation after we get the short-term budget done about how do we really tackle the problem in a comprehensive way? and that means not just going after head start or corporation for public broadcasting. that's not where the money is. what it means is that we have to make sure we're tackling defense spending, we are tackling tax expenditures and loopholes. that we're tackling entitlements. and that we're thinking about how do we, you know, really get our arms around those thing that is are driving the debt and deficit in a serious way and in a bipartisan way. i'll make this last question.

already seen abnormally high surf coming up along the coastline and reminded me of something else. we did get a report of somebody here in the city of san francisco watching the beaches. he said around 9:00 this morning there was a large evacuation of the water that left an open, exposed area of sand and no doubt at this point that there is something going on here today that can be attributed to the quake that could go down as the fifth strongest earthquake since 1900 that happened in japan. >> thank you so much, jeff, in san francisco. joi joining us now is kelly houston with california emergency management. what preparations are under way for the west coast particularly the area where jeff is and crescent city? >> so we have been under preparations since about last night around midnight. what we have been doing is making sure that we are making notifications to the counties up and down the coast of california because obviously notifying the

public, we had a length of time, eight hours to tell people that they need to evacuate or listen to their local officials about what they want to do and then now that the waves have started coming onshore crescent city to the bay area, we are seeing what jeff described, not exactly what we predicted but we are seeing wave activity that's causing damage in crescent city and santa cruz. and here's the catcher to this and that is that people think that when the first wave or two hits it's over with and they can go back to normal but the reality is we have several waves coming in over 18-minute segments and that's going to happen for several hours and some of the waves on the way could be larger than what we saw already come on to the coast at this point. >> and kelly, noaa put out a graphic -- an animation to show what what a tsunami wave really looks like. can you describe the process here where the ocean floor moves and that displaces the water and

leadership of the budget, what is he trying to accomplish today? >> usually presidents seek to increase the intensity of an issue, to jack up public interest and their own involvement. he seemed to want to pull back, lower the temperature with the role in libya, consulting. played up the financial seizures. the sanctions under way. the tightening of the noose, as he putt it. basically not suggesting we are going in there in terms of nino-fly zone but talking to the arab countries. i think he played down the fact we might be going in. it wasn't that convincing in the sense of terms of passion. he wasn't showing a lot of passionate support for the rebels over there. in a parallel way, not talking about the budget negotiations. he's there to protect certain issues, cares about pell grants, working class kids, head start for poor kids to get a good start in the grade school.

transformation of the middle east. he said he has to balance the benefits versus the risks sending personnel in harm's way. and the u.s. is not going to unilaterally take the lead here. >> yes. now we are seeing where the rubber meets the road in terms of the obama foreign policy doctrine. a multilaterallyism is the word of the way. we have heard it from his national security advisers behind the scenes and the president. whatever is done in libya it is clear the u.s. approach is to align with allies and not make it appear or be the u.s. acting unilaterally and where the criticism has come in against the administration is, all right, we understand why you don't want to make it a u.s. versus lib why dynamic, why you want to work with the organizations such as the arab league, nato or the u.n. but the u.s. can still be a leader. the u.s. can still say, all right, this is the path i think we should take. of course, the administration would say, that's exactly what
