Tonight data -- taking on President Obama again and this time there is money involved.

Down military exactly what he wants to buy -- -- this year plus or new emails fueling the fire over Libya.

This is the second a bit of evidence now.

That's the White House was home practically immediately what was going on and who was behind it.

What the new is now is that we haven't tower of the world are -- -- -- Omar Sharif whatever claiming credit for.

Within two hours there for holding up there and say hey look over here against us we have been asking the state department of these specific -- They refuse to give.

We knew from the intelligence community that -- -- Charles radio.

Had claimed responsibility.

For the attack.

Posting something on FaceBook.

Is not enough itself evidence.

And -- I think it just underscores how fluid the reporting.

It was at the time.

Continued for some time to be it's -- me.

And they have the story basically ignored.

And covered up today he is evidence to me up just how -- I think.

The regime is barely holding its campaign together.

-- -- -- Around the extravaganza.

Yeah.

Virginia.

Ohio.

I'm just not yeah.

More debates behind us and then vice presidential debate.

The president's been unable to find out.

And to communicate and attendant and -- -- agenda and that's one reason why I think we all know that he's.

Out of ideas and out of excuses then in November you're gonna put him out of office.

The day after their second debate when asked about mommy says what is.

It almost -- Folks hi I I don't like the -- Probably not sketchy there -- just gets you the truth is.

Been around me and I believe in true compassion in.

And we are offering a vision based on real reforms for lifting people out of poverty.

Mean I have a message that's bigger than party.

We are speaking to all Americans in this campaign because we believe -- Jack -- belief.

And economic growth inequality of opportunity are -- surest path to the pursuit of happiness in America.

Cool.

Yeah.

And tonight former near city mayor Rudy Giuliani is here now when he was here on the record last week he already suspected the white house of a cover up and Ben Ghazi says he still suspect a cover up -- -- joins us as a gotten stronger weaker.

Much stronger I mean the the three emails that were released today make it clear that the White House knew that a terrorist group claimed credit.

For this attack.

I've never heard of anyone dismissing.

The idea that a terrorist group claimed credit for an attack what what's the question you always ask when there's a terrorist attack has anyone claimed credit for.

Well yesterday this was a terrorist group did the White House suppress that information never told anybody that.

-- the thing that's always been so back -- I had to be dead horse but was not eleven on American.

It's installation -- -- Ben -- and it there was no protest before hand that wasn't spontaneous and was it seems certainly seemed car if it -- been they've been a protest that would have been reported some place the someplace.

And they get this email.

-- that 607 hour time saying that the -- that the embassy in Tripoli reports a group claimed responsibility and FaceBook and Twitter.

And his call for attack on me.

Except just about the time that I I was I'm gonna sit down with all the people that I survived September 11 with that night.

And we had heard about this attack in -- first conclusion was as a terrorist attack I didn't need I didn't need.

This and but remember the president of the United States also should have known that that council was attacked twice.

In the six months before attack in April attacked in June.

There was a hole a drill through the council big enough for a truck to go through.

The president should have had all that -- -- he may have known that he may have known and just been dismissive of it.

Woman I mean then than -- -- an explosion the American people escalated in protecting ambassador and the people there -- -- there was no real there was.

Credit there was no reason for this man who died.

I just not and we know -- suspect there's new information new emails we know we talk about it again tonight because of the very important topic -- four Americans were killed.

I still don't understand why did they come out with this videotape story because.

If big if if given a lot it's a stupid lot because there's doesn't -- -- you know create not because there's nothing to supported in the -- in this written trail.

Every -- -- stupid right.

At the cover of is always worst in the crime although much of that correct here -- -- the reality is competent procedures.

Could've prevented this this attack and these and these assassinations.

With the president United States -- taken seriously the two prior attacks.

If the president listened to -- to the to the people digging for more security.

I believe what was overriding all of this -- they wanted to present Libya as a great success.

For their for their way in which they defeated al-Qaeda killed bin Laden.

Everything's over everything's great -- made the right choices in Libya they had no unleash media a lot of terrible forces that they didn't think about before they got involved and all this.

So I think they were very worried about the political consequences here and that's why they went so far to cover this up.

What if it would it would think -- that they would have realized that this would come -- and it's now I mean how successful could they possibly be with four Americans dying.

They only had what.

Two months ago.

You just wait it out you.

-- mean I guess to Nixon administration waited out Watergate right.

I sit -- what you're right there's been some criticism because at that did doesn't seem like anybody was mobilized to go do anything that I don't know that anyone could have done anything.

Had had their planes taking off from Sicily headed for a bank -- and -- -- to -- done that but -- does not seem to be at least five we know nobody is mobilized looked.

The -- -- should have been done before the end of the the consulate you've been given more protection the first time was attacked so we should be given more protection the second time was attacked.

The request for protection should have been granted rather than worrying about how it -- politically in terms of whether Libya was a success enough.

They should have gotten the protection they deserve the British consulate pulled out.

Because the British had enough concern about the lives and safety of their people -- they weren't worried about how would -- political.

Is is a blunder in a foreign policy or is this found something -- that cover up I can't tell.

I mean the White House has fumbled this so much it's very very hard to tell the only thing that's worse.

Is the inability of the media except for maybe fox.

CBS and maybe CNN to the extent that they got that that that diary.

Nobody's covering this why because -- protect him.

He's the prince and and protect people want and people are hungry for the news we that we there's some competitive automotive between -- -- the the the the ability to two to rationalize to him.

Is unbelievable I've I've experienced to be -- cover up.

Yeah I just don't think they buy -- I think they they they they are so desperate to make sure that he gets -- reelected and they think that you know.

Right wing forces are driving this story if this -- -- Republican president.

Think we'd be talking about impeachment at this point it's just it actually did it cover up is palpable it's clear.

It took me about.

Maybe because as a prosecutor and host of my life took me about an two days to figure out there were covering this up -- this was clearly a terrorist attack from the moment it happened.

If you knew the prior history that consulate.

You don't even need the email telling you to group that is claiming credit for you had to know this is a terrorist attack -- -- -- -- thank you.
