something and they didn't do it and we don't note it. can i just rant one second about benghazi, or are we out of time? >> no, we have some time, but i want to give a one-word diagnosis which differs radically from yours. i think they were terribly jealous. >> well, maybe so. >> period. >> you know, i'm sure some were. and there's nothing, there's nothing is so pious as a journalist scorned. you know? we are so, i mean, the things that the -- the things that i've written in my life that i'm most embarrassed about was when i got up on my high horse and decried something. because there aren't any horses high enough, you know? [laughter] to do that. >> you can talk about benghazi but not if there are more questions. somebody else? >> [inaudible] >> we're out of time. what was that, what was that? that was wrong? >> we take one question and then -- >> yeah, okay. >> -- and then i'll do benghazi. >> [inaudible] >> what? >> how is hillary? >> i don't know. and i'm not going to, you know, i'm sure that she'll get in contact at a moment that she wants to. and at this point, i don't know tha

left, heeded the calls for revolution on facebook and twitter. they fought in tripoli, benghazi, misrata, and everywhere in between. who won this war? the young people? or everybody? >> omar: everybody. but the young people, they started it. >> anthony: what was your day like as a revolutionary? >> omar: you keep one thought in your mind. you do this for the next generation. for a better country. for a better life. >> anthony: you have a future now. before, people -- >> omar: yeah. >> anthony: you know what people say. >> omar: there was no future in libya before gaddafi's regime. we're not going to sugarcoat it. we were slaves for the gaddafi. >> anthony: oh, this looks good. >> omar: yeah, it is. >> anthony: barracuda is a seafood restaurant just outside of town, on the mediterranean coast. >> omar: one of the best foods in libya, i think, the seafood. >> anthony: the menu is not printed on paper. it's laid out right there for you, on ice. >> omar: we have, uh, dote here. >> anthony: what do they do? they just grill that? >> omar: yeah, they open it and grill it. some garlic,

people. >> megyn: just hit one. just off of the top of my head. benghazi, right? benghazi and the caper plan and an out and out fall hood and resulted in out rage and millions of people being misled and the irs and you can go and on. >> i think that jared was adopting pollute tonnian definition of scandal and it literally happened with the clintons. i can assure that it won't happen with the obamas. and you have to give him credit and eight years without the rumors and what you usually get with the conduct of in the. -- of the president. but saying that if congress won't act, i will. and the contradiction of the whole idea of a limited executive. they are far more damaging. i give a pass on the minor part, but on the major part, it is truly astonishing. i bet ya she truly believes it. >> megyn: people l dead in bengha benghazi, it is scandalous, but we are going to leave it to the american people to decide that. charles, good to see you. hillary clinton's political career maybe taking a turn. guess what she might run for? that's next. and the thousands of people who are here illeg

aren't any horses enoughgh to do that. >> host: you can talk about y benghazi but not if there are more questions. any other questions? >> we're out of time.ne que >> host: can we take one question. >> how is hillary? >> guest: what? >> how is hillary? i don't know and i i'm -- i i'm sure she'll get in contact at a moment that she wants to. and at this point, don't know that i want to talk to her because i remember i talked to bill a lot right after he left office, and you just don't want to listen to two hours about the mark rich pardon. as for benghazi, do. >> host: let end on this note. >> guest: i watched the republican convention, and i watched this woman get up there and accuse hillary clinton of being a murderer, of murdering her son, one of the nave navy seals. i saw this widely reported. i saw -- i talked to some of my friends at fox. think fox news had a very in year, actually, if you eliminate hannity and -- i think they ran the best debate itch said whyent you guys ever tell the truth about benghazi? and i couldn't get a straight answer..ou and here's what the truth is. aimy

four men d died in benghazi that should never have died. she didn't run a good campaign in the battleground states where she needed to be. she should only be blaming herself. i think the democrats are ann embarrassment right now that they want except that donald trump administration and victory.o they should be building bridges, not trying to delegitimize him. >> eric: is donald trump a legitimate president now? or in a week? >> there are two things he could do to prove his legitimacy. number one is to have an independent factfinder. >> eric: didn't he get 360 electoral votes? >> incidentally, next time he says he has this great victory. when you lose by -- >> eric: you guys always do this. >> he needs to put someone under oath, paul manafort, roger stone, and say, didn't you deal with the russians during the campaign or not? because when donald trump called on putin to steal data from the dnc and from hillary clinton and then 100 times he referenced the very data -- >> eric: richard, you are spinning in the no spin zone. that was a joke. he was saying ha, ha, ha. maybe you can

events of benghazi. for the record, that tough curve you have described in the pompeo household has clearly served you well and likely prepared you for the challenges that lie ahead. you will soon be asked to lead what is one of an nation's most treasured assets during a profound period of change. it's one of the principal members of the united states intelligence community and his test with collecting foreign intelligence through human sources and by appropriate means. the cia operates in the shadows. its officers are often undercover and sometimes work in hostile and fear environments. it's not just a job but a lifestyle. the clandestine nature of the agency's work, however, is both, is both the greatest capability and most challenging liability as its activities are outside the public view. we address that liability by calling upon the president to nominate individuals with unwavering integrity, and the senate approves only those who are assured will lead this organization lawfully, ethically and morally. mike, i have reviewed the material provided by you prior to this hearing an

? >> matt, benghazi and the hillary e-mail scandal have claimed yet another victim. patrick kennedy, the undersecretary of state, who pulled security from benghazi, who tried to play with the investigation and the e-mails, resigned this week. he was actually pushed out. >> thank you, ed. donna? >> i want to pay tribute to a musical and social legend -- the passing of butch trucks, the allman brothers' drummer. a lot of people know that he was named one of the top 10 drummers by rolling stone, but what a lot of people don't know is that the allman brothers almost single-handedly desegregated music in the south. they were the first rock-'n'-roll band to play in an integrated -- it was an integrated rock band, and they played these little podunk towns. and when they would not let jaimoe register for a hotel room, the allman brothers style was not to pick up picket signs. they busted up the place, and then they'd leave. now, i'm just saying. >> thank you, donna. christine? >> that's great. and now the end is near, matt. the long, sad tale of kathleen kane is finally over, as frank sinatra wo

libya. -- benghazi. virginia on a republican line. i'm sorry, democrats line. caller: i liked what i heard from mr. trump today. and everything sounds very positive. to how many is promises he can keep alienating the democrats. if we heard this with the democrats and trying to reach across the lines, i would be more enthused. why is it that he can talk to only republicans? there has to be some unity between both parties or we will be at a standstill. host: do you think the democrats would welcome president trump to their retreat? the house democrats? caller: it is being publicized. everyone is aware of it. it seems like he has to have friends on both sides of it. i like everything he has said so far. milwaukee, wisconsin. this is edward on our others line. caller: hello. host: go ahead, edward. you'd your television. -- mute your television. caller: i support president trump. there's two things were he's really off the track. he talks about our defense being decimated and weak. we spend more than the next 10 nations combined. this has been going on for decades. how can we be weak spe

have the cia that says benghazi was caused because of a video. no it wasn't. it was a deliberate attack on our -- in benghazi and then you have been saying isis is the jv team. the last two years have shown that isis is everything but a jv team. these are the assessments that were given out by the leadership of our intelligence community, scary but it was also political. >> its political and this administration and every agency in every department i think without question, the leadership of those departments and agencies the most critical agencies and departments politicize that. i don't think we have ever seen the likes of it before. what do you think? >> i have not seen it in my experience there in 18 years i had in congress in the 10 years on the intelligence committee. i've never quite seen anything like this. so political and is so blatantly wrong that almost anybody can see that this is wrong and now you have this russian hacking that refuse to brief congress before the christmas holidays and now they're asking for a couple more days to get their information straight before

brought up, benghazi. and nsa surveillance, and money for iran an hostages. >> she is dishonest or dilllusional. i think this is a swipe at trump. suggesting he has something to be personally embarrassed about. i have no doubt that president is not embarrassed by those scandals, but they are scandal, government prescriptioprup corruption at forefront of america's concerns. a big reason is because of what president obama was doing withs irs abuses and benghazi and "fast and furious," which is still a major, with americans. this is nick ownian in -- nixonian in terms of scandal he has been involved? liz: new york times have picked up on too, president obama, they called him tourist in chief, he has done more than any other. some say, than any other president, his personal bucket list or tourist destination, ston stonehenge and bob marley museum in jamaica, what did you tally? i think $96 million in obama travel cost is that justified. >> it at least 96 million it was not justified it was not political business. some was fundraising or luxury vacation on the taxpayer dime, including t

that'll resonate with the american people. >> megyn: just off the top of my head, i'm thinking, benghazi? do you like your plan, you can keep your plan. that is just an out right falsehood. outrage of millions of people being misled. the irs. you could go on. >> it is a very long list. but i think she was adopting the clintonian term of scandal. stealing the silver from the white house as you leave. >> megyn: that's exactly what happened with the clinton administration. you are right. >> it literally happened with the clinton family. you've got to give them credit. eight years without the kind of innuendo that you generally get about the personal conduct of the president. they have been fairly clean on that. but when you are talking about assault on the constitution, stepping over the separation of powers. saying that the congress won't act, i will. which is a contradiction of the whole idea of eliminated executive. those are scandalous and they are far more damaging. i give her a pass on the minor point but on the major point, it is truly astonishing to hear it. and i'll bet you she bel

those are scandals. >> eric: hang on one second. you don't think benghazi is a scandal or americans being killed? >> eric, i would argue that benghazi was a mishap, it was awful, but i wouldn't argue that it was a scandal. >> eric: one more. cops being killed. it >> you're going to blame the president? >> let me jump in here for a second. what i think is a scandal is when there are massive failures and the leader cannot admit that and then we have multiple news cycles where the facts rollout in the leader still cannot admit that. that is a scandal. everything i listed are scandals. >> that's like saying that george bush, since 9/11 happened on george bush's watch is a scandal. that's not a scandal. >> there are failures that he doesn't admit. >> rich, come on. george bush could have been better at protecting america, but we didn't call them scandal scandals. >> there are no facts that prove that. >> eric: listen to me. homegrown terror, could i be considered a scandal? >> no. >> eric: why not? americans were dying. it's not happening here. how is that not scandalous? >> how was the

the won that went on national news saying benghazi was caused by a video and had nothing -- benghazi attack on our embassy in which our ambassador was killed, that was her immediate statement to go on five major news networks -- >> that's a side issue. the issue at hand is who is at the table? when you have a number of people from senator mccain to susan rice who talk about just some real trepidation in trusting this decision making instead of being more inclusive, it's excludeing positions that are customarily part of that process. that's not concerning to you? >> i'm just saying she doesn't have the credibility that a john mccain has and john mccain has questioned this move. i think his criticism will probably be heard by the white house and i think as it goes by, they're talking about including people by invitation but probably a permanent slot. i think the white house could reexamine that. but they have their right to assemble their team as they see fit and ultimate goal here is, of course, to protect the american people and yesterday's executive order about come up with a 90-day

to ignore the irs, doj, benghazi, secret service, the secret server that led to the orange crush. technically it's a scandal telling america you can keep your doctor, a callous deception that hurts millions. it's a scandal of will and it's a scandal to ignore the modern black death, plague crippling chicago. obama's 10-year had more dirty linen and then charlie sheen's hamper. when your heart is in the right place, doing the wrong thing is always forgivable. may be scandalous so common we got used to it. if i were obama, i would take a messy scandal over the catastrophic failure of the last eight years. it's the ambivalence about who we are as a nation as we switch pride for shame, we became our own villains rather than assessing the bigger challenge that threatens all of us. that and a dollar will get you four corners. i'm going to miss val. she was the true president. she was the puppet master. >> that's true. she really was. maybe it's more of a reflection that she is saying she has nothing to be ashamed of. this was an amazing legacy but i mean, more about fast and furious, i

great interactions because they were over benghazi. i saw him in that light. i saw him is very partisan, i saw him as political, i saw him as attacking the agency enemy. me aftereached out to he was nominated and we had a number of very good conversations. charlie: what did you tell him about the cia? toldel: the first thing i him as the men and women of the cia are the most dedicated and committed people he will ever run into. and it they will follow him anywhere. and that they care about one thing and one thing only and that is keeping the country safe and he was being handed a national treasure. his ultimate responsibility is when he walks out the door, whatever it is, to leave it as a national treasure. then, we had long talks about the senior officers there might make a good equity. i gave him my views and we talked about how to deal with created by his partisanship over benghazi. how does he handle this? him that he should be honest about it. are in alitics and you different place now and you did not bring politics with you down the beltway when you came to the agency. â™

where information was scarce, like yemen, benghazi, libya, and syria, where he went in the summer of 2013. just before he crossed into aleppo, he called his dad. >> he contacted me and told me not to worry and, but, if i don't hear from him within four days, that i should get in touch with one of his colleagues. >> reporter: whoa. that's ominous. he didn't hear from his son, not just for four days. it was four excruciating months. then finally, they got a ransom letter with demands for the government to free all the muslims in u.s. custody. >> "then there's a last option-- 100 million euros will secure steven's release." >> reporter: which is something like. >> $137 million. >> reporter: what was your reaction? >> the reaction was how the hell are we going to get this money together? >> reporter: they thought u.s. government would help them, put they were bewildered and then infuriated had they say they met a stone wall. the u.s. policy forbidding the paying of ransom. >> ninan: as we'll see in lesley's full report, some white house officials feel they failed the families of hostages

intelligence for spreading the story. the cia have a horrific record. they lied to us about benghazi. they lied about vietnam. they lied to us about the kennedy assassination. they're spies, spies lie. it is in their interest to build up this bogeyman of russia to delegitimise donald trump's presidency. for an incoming president to favour russia, the old cold war enemy over the cia, is unprecedented. one man who used to run the agency thinks trump may be naive. it could be that he is playing into their hands. there is this term of ‘useful idiot‘ that the russians throw around for someone who goes along with what they are trying to accomplish without thinking very much about it. whether or not there is any truth to the dossier, the former spy master has a chilling warning for the new president. they may have something that they've learned through cyber espionage that is detrimental to him, his business dealings or his personal standing. i would think it prudent to assume that is the case. no computer is safe. i don't care what they say, no computer is safe. since his surprise elec

when the benghazi attack happened in 2012. they accepted the white house narrative. when that collapsed, they just moved on. i find it hyperbolic to see the news media suggesting that everyone else is fake news. everyone else does not have facts. on the host: for those who want to follow your work, tim graham, where are you? newsbusters.oat rg. we are celebrating our 30th anniversary in the fall. host: let's go to chris in texas. republican line. caller: good morning. the biggest thing that worries line andt the name-calling -- lying and name-calling in the republican party. that is all they have, but it works, i guess. my question is, do you think this is the beginning of how we are going to be taken into socialism? this is not a socialist country. all the people died to keep this nation and all the other nations free. the fact that they are going to try to do that is beyond, and i cannot understand how they are able to get away with it. it is so wrong. thank you. guest: i would start with the idea that bernie sanders ran for president as a self-described socialist. it was am

keep telling the american people and the members of congress that the attack in benghazi was all about a video and you even try to cover that by encouraging the producer of the video to be arrested and put withthis, help really, misrepresentation of the truth, then i guess under those circumstances you don't take testimony from the prior administration's cabinet members all that seriously because you know that they've been out there and misrepresented the truth before. kline's 't know if book, that there's a blood feud between the obamas and clintons were right, but there had to be a reason that hillary clinton didn't come out on the sunday shows after benghazi and make this claim that was adverse to what she emailed her daughter and what she emailed to the president of libya. that, you know, it was an attack and it was, you know she didn't mention a video because it wasn't about a video. she knew that. now, i realize, between the concussion, the problems, she may not remember that. but she knew it at the time. and according to that book, she called and talked to former president bill

intelligence committee. those were not great interactions because they were over benghazi. so i saw him in that light. i saw hip as very partisan. i saw him as political. i saw him as attacking the agency and me. but he reached out to me after he was nominated and we've had a number of very good conversations. >> rose: what did you tell him about the c.i.a. >> first thing i told him is that the men and women of the cia are the most dedicated and committed people that he will ever run into. and that they will follow him anywhere. and that they care about one thing and one thing only and that's keeping the country safe. and that he was being handed a national treasure. and i told him that his ultimate responsibility is when he walks out the door at whatever point that is, to leave it at the national treasure. and we had long talked about the senior officers there who might make a good deepity. i gave him my views. he asked questions. we talk board of director how to deal with the perception that was created by his partisanship over benghazi. how does he handle that when he walks into the

out there. david: they found a place for her. meanwhile, benghazi fast and furious the mass surveillance of americans. yes, there were no scandals for the obama administration. just ask president obama's top adviser. . melissa: a scandal-free white house? president obama's top adviser says her boss hasn't been involved in any scandals over the past eight years. >> the president prides himself on the fact that his administration hasn't had a scandal and that he hasn't done anything to embarrass himself. but that's not because he is being someone other than who he is. that's because who he is. that's who they are, and i think that's what really resonates with the american people. melissa: gop fundraiser, democratic strategist, they are back with us. blake, let me run down just a few on the list. fast and furious, benghazi, the irs targeting of conservative groups, nsa mass surveillance, i could keep going. what do you think? >> well, i think, again, this is a sentiment we actually heard echoed several months ago by david brooks in your favorite publication, melissa, "the new y

hearing of the environs of benghazi. the tough curb. you will be asked to lead what i believe to be one of the nation's most treasured assets into period of profound change. it's collective o of human sours and by appropriate means. the cia operates in the shadows. its offices are often undercover and sometimes work in hostile and austere environments. it's not simply a job for many of the lifestyle. the clandestine nature of the agency's work is both the greatest capability and most challenging liability since the activities are outside of the public view. we addressed that by calling upon the president to nominate apresident to nominatean indivig integrity and the senate approves those that are on the shore or to lead the organization lawfully, ethically and morally. i have heard you and the material provided by you prior to the hearing and have spoken with you personally. you graduated first in her class and went on to learn a law degree at harvard and founded the company. you are in your third term representing people from the fourth district of kansas as a member of the committ

any scandals. but what about benghazi? the irs targeting of conservative groups? and the payment to iran for american hostages clutch mark we will get into that. after the show, when the tv version of us goes to sleep, we wake up alive online at fox news.com, "outnumbered overtime." or you can go to facebook, and we will pop up there, or handled is our handle is @outnumberedfnc. tweet us anytime you want, i think even joe will tweet. will you tweet? >> joe: sure i will, absolutely.

arms to be brave truth tellers in the face of trump. >> take benghazi. can you imagine in benghazi happened on the watch of a trump? do you think the mainstream media would be willing to dismiss it? >> that was an excuse to put our first amendment values on the table. we had them questioning the first amendment, whether you should be tree to say what wu want about a religion. videos going out saying we don't disparage other religions. >> we do all of the time. >> you make it a point of pride that you'reble to do that. and there wasn't a hand wringing about the dangerous freedom of spooch. when you hear that trump was a danger to free speech, where are with you for the last eight years. >> some of this is valid, but there's an element of where you stand is where you sit. is that the cliche? you have a certain outlook, you're not hard enough on trump, you're not hard enough on hillary. the same standards have to apply all of the time. in terms of president obama, he was a threat at times. >> we'll get to him in a minute. >> but one thing is that you had mr. trump who had a blacklist

incredible film about benghazi. i think they take artistic license but still that really emphasized the fact that the best experts that people schooled and years at the state department and so forth can make some terribly bad mistakes for the united states interest. and that perhaps as trump says it's time to get somebody from the outside who looks at from a different perspective might be good for this country. >> might be. and i saw that movie on benghazi. 13 hours. great movie. but tillerson is an unusually smooth operator. and, you know, one way you can tell that he is different from your average person coming in? david: how? >> he is terse. he will give you one-word answers. there were no one-word questions by any of the senators. but, no, he was very good. very impressive. he didn't let -- i like the questioning by marco rubio, by the way. but marco rubio was trying to put words in tillerson's mouth. he wanted tillerson to call vladimir putin a war criminal. obviously tillerson wasn't going to do that. david: yeah, and to liz's point, i mean, you don't do that before you start nego

way they had for benghazi and other things. you have john mccain attempting to do an investigation. do you foresee the senate doing anything about the information in this report? >> john mccain really recognizes what a serious assault this is on the foundation of our democratic republic and i applaud him for it, we should be hearing that from every leader in this country. this is -- john mccain called it an act of war. it is certainly a major assault on the united states system of democracy. >> indeed. >> and it should be thoroughly analyzed, extensively analyzed by a bipartisan committee in the public, not in the secret halls of just the intelligence committee working through the republican majority getting trapped and never let out. it needs to be a public bipartisan commission. >> well, we shall see. senator jeff merkley, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> you're welcome, thank you. >>> joining me now is neera tanden, president of center for american progress and matthew miller, former spokesperson for the justice department. i'll start with you, i'll ask each of you

having a special standing committee the way they had for benghazi and other things. you have john mccain attempting to do an investigation. do you foresee the senate doing anything about the information in this report? >> john mccain really recognizes what a serious assault this is on the foundation of our democratic republic and i applaud him for it, we should be hearing that from every leader in this country. this is -- john mccain called it an act of war. it is certainly a major assault on the united states system of democracy. >> indeed. >> and it should be thoroughly analyzed, extensively analyzed by a bipartisan committee in the public, not in the secret halls of just the intelligence committee working through the republican majority getting trapped around never let out. it needs to be a public bipartisan commission. >> well, we shad see. senator jeff merkley, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> you're welcome, thank you. >>> joining me now is neera tanden, president of center for american progress and matthew miller, former spokesperson for the justice department

the benghazi episode. hillary clinton who was seriously experienced senator, first lady, attorney, secretary of state and the whole benghazi thing blew up in her face. she was in charge. >> this is exactly what margaret said. because the pilot who has experience flying the plane crashed therefore it's fine for someone who didn't get the training. hillary clinton had lots of people who had lots of experience made terrible mi mistakes. >> everyone is going to stick around. the transition cheer at the white house the egnog seems to have gone bad a little bit. so if ydead battery,t tire, need a tow or lock your keys in the car, geico's emergency roadside assistance is there 24/7. oh dear, i got a flat tire. hmmm. uh... yeah, can you find a take where it's a bit more dramatic on that last line, yeah? yeah i got it right here. someone help me!!! i have a flat tire!!! well it's good... good for me. what do you think? geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. a body without proper footd needssupport can mean pain. the dr. scholl's kiosk maps your feet

committee the way they had for benghazi and other things. you have john mccain attempting to do an investigation. do you foresee the senate doing anything about the information in this report? >> john mccain really recognizes what a serious assault this is on the foundation of our democratic republic and i applaud him for it, we should be hearing that from every leader in this country. this is -- john mccain called it an act of war. it is certainly a major assault on the united states system of democracy. >> indeed. >> and it should be thoroughly analyz analyzed, extensively analyzed by a bipartisan committee in the public, not in the secret halls of just the intelligence committee working through the republican majority getting trapped around never let out. it needs to be a public bipartisan commission. >> well, we shad see. senator jeff merkley, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> you're welcome, thank you. >>> joining me now is neera tanden, president of center for american progress and matthew miller, former spokesperson for the justice department. i'll start with yo

from susan rice about it was a video that began benghazi. so pardon me if i'm a little skeptical here but i say show me the evidence. >> but you are privy to the evidence that frankly me and the rest of the american public are not privy to. >> at this point i have not had an opportunity to sit in on a classified briefing but i would still be skeptical unless they showed me the hard evidence because this has all of the trappings to me of a narrative that's being created here and nobody's looking at the real evidence. they're just looking at opinions on evidence. so i want to see the evidence and then i want to challenge them on their train of thought. but it looks to me like this was not a hack, it's more likely a leak. and if it's a leak, where did it come from? the russians wouldn't have anything to leak if they hadn't hand. if there's no hack, the leaks are more likely to have come out of the cia or nsa or other intelligence committee. >> and if you do not trust american intelligence assessments and american intelligence agencies, how are the american people supposed to trust them a

benghazi. so, no, i'm not sure it would be there's a lot of thingel an obl no where i must. right now the biggest problem i have with what i see coming out of the president-elect's team is russia. i'm hoping that after he gets the briefing from the finest among us, that there is zero doubt the russians did this, nobody is saying that you didn't win the election, mr. trump, president-elect trump, that's not the issue. i hope you will embrace the intelligence. you will join with republicans and democrats to push back against russia to make sure it stops and doesn't happen again. if after the briefing he is still unsure, that will shake me to my core about his judgment. >> i'm going to wrap up with question that has nothing to do stwiyou, senator mccain. >> i would say the most positive legacy is that the very fact that the first african-american of the president of the united states is a signal that in america anybody can rise to the highest level, and i think that's a very important landmark and is historic. i would argue that his worst is his handling of national security particularly in
