Well as Steve mentioned John hammers mother made -- eight tireless effort in recent weeks to draw attention -- this case here's some more of her remarks from yesterday.

It was like my first night that I slept all night long without getting out and it was just.

The thought of not wondering what's gone on with them as anyone.

Can anyone hurt him tonight and that's hat -- that he's eating you know he's able to actually have -- -- You know it's just.

-- I honestly can't totally process that I think Antilles here.

Republican congresswoman Ileana ros Lehtinen of Florida worked with -- hammers to win Johns release she is chair of the house of foreign affairs committee always great talking to you thanks so much.

Look thank John hammers parents.

Said that the State Department -- who was really not lifting a finger to help in fact -- were they were very discouraging about it.

And then the White House when asked just a few days ago seemed utterly oblivious really didn't -- about it.

And clearly wasn't do any any thing you would think the commander in chief.

We've got a bat for a marine who fought in two recent wars.

What was going on here why wasn't our government.

-- and it was bewildering.

The parents tried to do it low key they couldn't get -- case resolved they came to me.

And our and our two wonderful US senators and thanks to fox thanks to all Riley.

Sean Hannity read up all of you.

Were so helpful at all the press help that you guys really came to -- And that's why I don't really.

Understand or believe that during White House up press briefing that the -- White House spokesperson said.

Well I don't know about the case baloney.

Everybody had known about the eighties and we had been bring in that up but this is a family of strong Christian faith.

And so for them as we celebrate the birth of Christ that tonight what of more meaningful up present then then that now.

Then they got -- to bring their son to them tonight look.

I mean we wanna talk to you about a couple of of subjects here and and now when thankfully turned out well let's turn out of being Ghazi because you are very involved in this an independent investigation -- you've read it.

Produce this blistering report into what they refer to is systemic failures.

In the very department it's headed by Hillary Clinton and apparently.

The State Department hey you know you -- to this report they were utterly clueless about the threats in the dangers in Libya.

How much blame.

Rests on the shoulders of Hillary Clinton and what do you want to hear from her when she finally testify.

Well of course the blame is on the Libyan terrorists and we don't want to minimize that.

But when he comes to the things that we can't control our own government.

I think the State Department and the Obama administration as a whole must be made accountable this -- -- terrorists attacked.

That.

Where four American diplomats were murder should she want to know should she had been involved in his security.

Not only should she have known I want to know.

Why in the seven hours that this firefight took place.

Why does this.

Accountability review board and not even interview Hillary Clinton she was just presented with a report.

At no time was she interviewed.

What did she do during those seven hours where was President Obama during those seven hours.

In -- up fund raiser in Las Vegas why weren't they trying to do something scramble a jet.

And that they are telling wouldn't know and we went and we looked into this and F eighteen at mocking get there.

In a half an hour from our nearest base that he's in Italy now.

Our sources tell -- tell Fox News.

That three requests were made by those people who were under fire and lost their lives for help for a rescue for something.

They even painted a laser target on the enemy that that was shelling them and nothing happened three requests were turned down Petraeus says.

It was in the CIA that turned that down.

Does that mean it was the president.

We want to find out and only by having Secretary Clinton appear before our committee some time before it may jamming.

Will we be able to know.

What did she know and when did she know what was she given a real time intelligence.

And and remember that -- intelligence reports were coming.

Even before 9/11 to say this is a soft target this is easy Pickens they're extremist elements all around this -- consulate.

Why -- those security request the night I didn't want that day.

For seven hours we couldn't even scramble one jet to show support.

-- Of the Americans are -- I -- it away the American spectator wrote this quote.

Obama's fingerprints are all over this refusal if no one in the CIA chain of command refused -- the failure -- did people -- no one else.

Could -- denied the real time requests looked as the incompetence.

That is clearly identified in this report perhaps help to explain why there was an alleged cover up.

Of the truth by the administration.

Because there is no.

Doubt about it for the next few days and even weeks they were still spinning this report.

Well an obscure video and spontaneous protest.

And what we have seen from all of the footage is that there was no protests at all and that there was no mention of any any video.

By -- by these they have terrorists so.

Shame on everyone involved in this for Americans in debt are dead.

We need to prevent this in the future in order to do that we need to find out what went wrong maybe congress can get to the bottom of that.

Ileana Ross -- and thank you so much training --
