When there's a new concerns from Republican lawmakers about the reported top candidate for secretary of state Hillary Clinton's position.

And that would be the woman is him screen their ambassador Susan writes to the UN.

Now our comments on the main Ghazi terror attacks outrage some people in Washington who felt that.

She was not giving them the straight story and senator Marco Rubio says that she will have to answer.

For that.

Watch.

I'm concerned about the fact that she went on Sunday shows -- that that this was the product at a spontaneous uprising as opposed to a terrorist attack obviously she faced those comments on directives or information that -- had and it's important know -- -- directive came from and what exactly that information wise.

And an -- -- -- report real important now is this why.

Did they wait so long even after they knew that it was not.

Paid the result of the YouTube video why did -- wait so long to publicly change their position on it but it should have to answer.

Questions about that no doubt about it.

It says -- senator Marco Rubio I'm joined now by Allen calls the -- and thank the liberals for saving America got he's also the host of the Alan Colmes radio show.

And Pete Snyder is former pollster -- Giuliani and a Fox News contributor welcome John and I -- had a hair and -- so the administration floating Susan Rice the -- ambassador.

As a potential to replace Hillary Clinton -- what do you think.

I think it'd be a horrible.

Idea especially in the wake.

Really the cover up of -- -- the misinformation.

That that Susan Rice went out and told all Americans on the Sunday -- it's.

You know anyone who's ever to -- Sunday show knows that you don't do that without having -- -- speak on the half of the White House without getting.

Talking points from the White House without having a briefing from.

The political shop there so I mean if we have two choices here one I think should be a horrible choice.

But if we actually want to get to the bottom what happened -- big Ghazi there'd be no better way than those senate confirmation hearings.

So given that Alan in the White House you know sort of floating as we see this happen a lot -- kind of put some names out there and see what the reaction is to think they'll change their mind.

Not necessarily and other John Kerry really liked the job and I think -- -- great choices well but I disagree.

-- this continual drumbeat from the right that this some kind of cover up that went on here that initial report showed that it was about a video whether it's about a video or something else.

The fact of the matter is the administration acknowledges right away as a terrorist attacks Susan Rice went on television it's at what -- do at the time and I think this is a political ploy.

To try to once again -- after the administration as they try to do to make this an election issue which didn't succeed too well for Republican.

He added that there's tons of evidence that being -- that people didn't know that it was a terrorist attack within 24 hours I don't necessarily Hillary litigate.

All of the discussion I have had about the timing -- And I would I do you wanna talk about we will do what -- just NN ballot that you know we we know -- -- -- -- -- we know Susan -- nomination will bring this issue up and -- that's what -- you know focusing -- an -- because it will be -- -- if indeed it does -- But he does the fact that they would put her name out there and suggest that they liked -- mean that they're not concerned about that.

Well I feel like I you don't leak anything in Washington without having some concerns -- want to have -- -- trial balloon out there.

I believe the right thing for -- Obama and he has an incredible opportunity to actually lead if he wants to.

He chose not to after being elected in 2008 and solely focusing on obamacare he should really take -- a team of rivals.

You know page book like he did with Hillary Clinton and put John McCain as secretary Sunday that would that would be re so funny and yeah.

I actually know I think it's a very interesting -- definitely I like John McCain very much idea it's unlikely I think John Kerry would probably be a choice before.

John McCain but they don't you know -- obviously a very good idea quite frankly and reach across the -- however let's not forget -- -- -- that you're still you are trying to re litigate.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- And of course you're you're you're the you're talking you're going what we argued to a month ago let's move -- Allen -- did you know there's -- -- yeah.

We say here today gathers testimony being given right now on this issue which obviously is a very hot issue and remain so.

I mean -- and we never hear from General Petraeus in the coming days so that there is more to be told on this story there.

We're gonna get to the bottom of it so and we'll see whether or not Susan rice's -- name that they continue to stand by.

As we move forward in the process thanks gentlemen thank you good.
