And our major developments IA on the campaign trail as governor Mitt Romney has extended his lead over president -- Obama look at this according to the latest Gallup poll.
Romney now holds a majority 51% of the vote over Obama's 45%.
-- that is a six point advantage not even close to be within the margin of -- And this bombshell poll comes one day after more than millions of Americans witnessed the president of the United States mislead you the voters about everything from his own record.
To his opponent's views thanks to President Obama the truth went untold for more than 98 long minutes -- in the second presidential debate.
-- -- -- for that very reason that tonight we hear on Hannity we're -- fact checked the president's claims.
We're gonna set the record straight and we begin tonight with the most heated exchange of the evening and that of course being the White House's response.
Or lack thereof to the Ben -- terrorist attack here's how it all went down inside the debate hall last night.
On the day following.
The assassination of the United States ambassador the first time that's happened since 1979.
When when we have four Americans killed there when apparently we didn't know what happened.
That the president the day after that happened flies to Las Vegas for political fund raiser.
The day after the attack governor.
I stood in the Rose Garden.
And I told the American people in the world.
That we are gonna find out exactly what happened.
But this was an act of terror.
I think it's Andersen the president just said something which which is that on the day after the attack you -- -- Rose Garden garden and said that this was an act of terror.
You said in the Rose Garden today after the attack it was an act of terror.
It was not a spontaneous demonstration is that what you're saying please -- -- By.
Want to make sure we get that for the record because it took the president fourteen days before he called the attack and then -- an act of terror get the transfer.
It if he didn't fit in facts are so let me let me give it -- an actor -- little -- can it -- it.
He did -- an act of terror.
She's wrong not only was the president wrong but so was the moderator Candy Crowley as we reported last night she's already admitted it.
Right after that I did turn around and say that you're totally correct but they spent two weeks telling us this was about a tape.
And that there was a -- you know this riot outside there have been does -- console which there wasn't so he was right in the main if I just think he picked.
The wrong word.
How let's get to the truth here now obviously Crowley failed to adequately fact check the president last -- so tonight we correct the record.
-- yes it is true that the president did utter the words in the Rose Garden accent terror.
The day after the -- Gaza assault however he did so only after he referenced.
9/11 2001.
And they do really intended to call Ben -- act of terror then why in that very same speech.
And for the very first time in public did he blame the event on a YouTube movie trailer video.
That's the same YouTube video that he want us to believe sparked an impromptu riot which by definition is not a premeditated terrorist attack.
Since our -- The United States has been a nation -- respects all faiths.
We reject.
All efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others.
But there is -- -- no justification to this type of senseless violence.
-- Now blaming the video and apologizing for hurting the feelings of radical extremists continue not just for days couple weeks after this attack and -- -- all.
The president was asked and asked repeatedly if this was an act of terror and he flat out refused to say yes in other words.
He lied at that debate last night and the cover up continues and so does the president's deliberate indifference to matters of national security.
Now we've hammered the president for attending a fund raiser in Vegas the day after that Libya attack.
Well today after news broke that the feds foiled a plot to blow up the Federal Reserve building.
Mere blocks from the World Trade Center by a Muslim extremists well how does the president respond well -- the full day of campaigning.
Including events tonight.
Joining me with reaction all of this former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich the speaker on the backs are.
You knew if you let me play for you including.
-- -- may -- This is fourteen.
-- days after the terrorist attack.
Just a little montage of the president blaming the Internet beauty about video and refusing this act.
Five days after he had is it's I ambassador to the UN saying it Jay Carney saying it wasn't terror attack.
Nine days and fourteen days after the president refused to college it's a terrorist attack watch this.
-- -- is still doing an investigation.
And they're going to be different circumstances in different countries don't know yet.
And so we're gonna continue to investigate this -- -- Hillary Clinton say that it was an act of terrorism is -- what do you have.
Well we're still -- -- an investigation as a crude and disgusting video.
Sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world I have made it clear that the United States government had nothing to do -- this video.
Fourteen.
Days after the attack.
He was still couldn't say it was an act of terror but we now know they knew within 24 hours what does this mean for you.
Wanting to different things no one is.
And a very serious way.
What is there are about Barack Obama's psychology.
That makes it so difficult for him to deal with the reality of Islamic extremism.
Why is -- always the west's fault why is it always somebody in America's fault.
Why is he always apologizing.
For Islamic extremists.
I think this is a very.
Serious question about the whole nature of his approach to that part of the world.
Second.
This is Ben.
Consistent.
From the United Nations a masters -- -- have gone on five different shows telling the American people falsehood.
On the Sunday after the attack.
Two Vice President Biden.
On the national debate.
Who repeatedly misleading the American people to the president last night completely misleading the American people.
And I think that the the larger question here that you have a president of the United States who was commander in chief.
Will not be honest with himself.
About the problem of radical Islam.
Will not be honest with the world about it by his United Nations speech was a disgrace.
But American president to go to the UN and apologize six times for -- YouTube video by some nut cake.
First of all we should be defending the right of free speech.
We should be saying to the Muslim world yes.
You want to be in the modern world guess what.
You're not gonna have Islamic supremacy you're not -- dictate to the rest of us you're not gonna have an American president sensor on your behalf.
Yet the Obama State Department has gone in the opposite direction millennium of Muslim groups and they promised an effect to try to censor America.
-- let me play a video this was of President Obama and Hillary Clinton paid for by the State Department.
Apologizing -- countries in the least for this video -- it's almost breathtaking but watch list.
Since our -- The United States has been a nation -- respects all faiths.
We reject.
All efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others.
But there is -- -- no justification to this type of senseless violence.
None.
Let me state very clearly and I hope it is obvious.
That the United States government had absolutely.
Nothing to do with this video.
We absolutely.
-- -- its contents.
And message.
America's commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation.
And Fort Hood was workplace violence and terror attacks a man caused -- is this something wrong about god.
Stop look there there's your findings from -- just first off I was told that the US government paid 70000.
Dollars.
Of our tax paid money.
To put this on Pakistan to make -- -- -- television.
So for view the average taxpayer and you wonder about the deficit what a waste of your money what an outrage to have this kind of thing put on -- your money second.
They don't believe in religious liberty when they're attacking the Catholic Church -- cardinal Dolan about the war on religion being waged by the Obama administration.
-- -- believe in religious liberty when they're apologizing.
To islamists.
Four things that might offend them.
Third.
It's not senseless violence this is the heart of what's wrong with the entire Obama approach.
If you are al-Qaeda.
And you have an opportunity Killen American ambassador.
That is from their standpoint.
A very intelligent rational thing to do it's precisely.
The inability of President Obama and his team to come to grips of the fact the we are at war.
Within extremist movement and a worldwide basis -- wants to kill us so from their perspective this isn't random senseless violence.
This is a deliberate 100 people get organized to attack you consulate.
That's -- -- that's terrorism.
Quickly what do you make of those numbers 5145.
I think they're gonna get better I think that -- signed in December this is a beginning.
Of the collapse of Obama I think facts -- gonna weigh him down and he's gonna lose this election.
By surprising margin.
All right force for good -- -- there's always a pleasure to have you thank you sir for being with us thank you as.
