President Obama -- better brace himself what they want to talk about it or not during tomorrow night's town hall debate voters will be able to question the president about his response to Libya.
And today former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani outright accusing the white house of -- cover he joins us Canadian it's -- good evening Greta how are you.
-- -- any doubt your mind that there's a cover up well -- everything.
Points to -- I mean we've had about five conflicting statements about what happened.
We have very clear evidence now that the White House knew very early on that there was no protests proceeding this terrorist attack.
So -- be -- no reason to attribute this to any kind of protest over this you know horrible Mohammed movie.
By the time.
By the time ambassador rice appeared on the 45 television shows I think it was September 15 already was quite clear at that point this -- -- terrorist attack.
This was -- planned.
This was not some kind of response to some kind of a a film that they were offended by and she just -- ahead and an outright.
Misrepresented by saying -- to spontaneous attack president appeared before the United Nations and six times apologized.
For a movie suspect but he didn't produce he had nothing to do with.
Never talked about the fact that he seems to have known by the end.
I mean just as late as last week we have Vice President Biden saying that he was net that did -- White House never knew that there were requests for more security.
If they didn't know why -- -- I -- is information of this magnitude not getting to the president -- longer maybe it's because he doesn't have his national security briefings like other presidents have I don't know but he showed.
-- -- You raise a question -- have a letter here -- dated dead today from senator Lindsey Graham and it is actually directly to the president United States.
And he points out that there were attacks on that -- -- 1 April 20121 and June six point twelve election.
I AD detonated ripped a hole the security perimeter is described by one individual as big enough for forty men to go through.
And senator Graham says did you consider these serious events.
If you're informed what actually is taken to protect the passer and he's he's he's quiz in the present it if even knew anything about it.
What is outrageous is a month later right and there was today that -- that the -- gets attacked on September -- now we find out it was attacked twice before.
One time in April 1 time in June.
Now if the president knew about it what what did -- what did he do about it if you didn't know about it and may even be more serious why didn't know about it.
-- it what what the heck is wrong what is administration if they're not informing him of attacks on our council it.
Consulates in a country where you know we work very very hard to overthrow Qaddafi.
And apparently we didn't do a particularly good job figuring out what would come after Qaddafi.
But tonight and crews separate state Hillary Clinton in a bid by a number of news organizations including Wendell Goler here fox and she said -- She takes full responsibility.
Is is is a buck stops here me with her the secretary of state.
Well I mean that's ever continue to you have the buck stop for the president United States.
And the president are -- to supposed to get national security briefings every single day.
We know this president skipped I don't know half of them.
Because he's who -- we really almost don't have a president we have a a campaigner in chief.
But in any event it would be startling if these attacks were not brought up in those national security briefings.
It would be absolutely astounding if having been brought up the present -- United States didn't say what what are we doing to protect that consulate.
Two bombings in the space of about three months and it doesn't come to the attention -- the present United States.
I mean that that would really give us great concern -- the president is you know living in some -- Ball land.
Think how he's handling it as he is -- -- you have the first eighty degrees different -- six rather bizarre we have heard from ES spoken the nation.
What I'm he say set a number of times is video of this protest and make and they continue to sort of throw they'd they held on that story pretty long and it seemed -- -- it seemed.
Actually quite fanciful licences was 9/11.
It was on our property in a dangerous place it seemed unlikely that a protest -- to protest and a video Madonna.
Well that create all these problems themselves Greta I mean if it if it isn't a cover up cover up they're acting like there is one.
-- every single -- piece of information they put out.
You know at the beginning turns out to be false.
There's all kinds of information they withheld including this information about two prior attacks I don't think he ever would have known the -- concern.
About his own safety is CNN hadn't there was the administration says stolen they got -- all of set.
That that the diary was found and they accused the reporter stealing the -- of the diary.
I mean when I got the diary should event that the that they -- disclose this to the American people when it happened I mean.
That's the reason why if it is a cover up they certainly are creating the impression there's a cover up and believe me if this were Republican administration.
What I just said to be on the front page of the New York Times.
I imagine -- at times and got it right here -- -- -- funny you should mention it because I was looking to see how the New York Times does handling this issue.
And there -- it's nothing now on the front page New York Times about death about this.
Derek Jeter -- -- injuries on the front page -- their ties which of course you know concerns me greatly because I think -- as the greatest player in baseball and he's my hero but I do think.
I do think this is maybe you know more significant.
Maybe maybe more significant than every one of the other stories that they had on their including.
Some situation and a small town mayor mayor and a small town and you look at the front page it's incredible.
Mean this is a very whether you're Republican or Democrat a liberal or conservative.
When the White House engages.
In this kind of misbehavior.
Fit for reasons that could be yet aren't apparent.
Where is depressed and a -- at a press do we have I mean it's basically you CNN and CBS rest -- it.
I mean.
Instead they're they're attacking Republicans.
Because you know they cut the security budget.
Four 44 counselors even though.
The State Department official testified that there 10 budget considerations and all at all -- their refusal to give extra security.
Well I didn't think we'll find out recently tomorrow night is the people -- to ask questions and maybe they'll ask about Libya for what the others in the media are not mr.
mayor -- -- to see you -- -- to see -- --
