And are -- -- to Egypt as part elevate foreign aid package.

This is just the tip of the iceberg by the end of the year the US will have provided Egypt sixteen fighter jets and 200 tanks.

This is all part of a deal that was made back in 2010 when Hosni Mubarak was still the president of Egypt but.

Shouldn't someone in the Obama administration of thought to maybe -- this gift after.

Egypt's current president Mohamed Morsi has come out and made such comments like this.

So hard.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- chilly really the army and this guy with fighter jets and American tanks.

Now wonder -- this is gonna come tomorrow when secretary of state Hillary Clinton heads up to Capitol Hill to testify in front lawmakers about -- role in the evening -- terror attacks.

I killed a US ambassador and three other Americans back in September.

Joining me now to little lawmakers who will be able to ask Secretary Clinton tough questions that need to be asked.

Senator John Barrasso and Ron Johnson senators welcome -- back to program.

Thank you both on -- this is 2010 senator Brosseau.

This is Mohamed -- this is a guy that say things like let's say America is enemies.

The Israelis are bloodsuckers war mongers descendants of apes and pigs.

He said that.

About two years ago.

And now we're gonna give him F sixteen fighter jets and we'll -- a given tanks on top of the one point five billion dollars were given -- former head of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Help me out senator that sounds really dump.

I just returned from my Israel from Afghanistan.

John McCain and Kelly and some other senators have just returned.

From visiting -- in Egypt but with more suited just to discuss these very.

Issues.

The people of Egypt and -- in particular no.

That continuing a relationship with Israel is key to US foreign aid.

That there needs to be a strong military commitment in Israel specifically.

To protect the cyanide because we know that weapons are being shipped up.

To the Sinai to Gaza.

Two Hamas so this is guys you say continuation of a previous agreement it is gonna continue and even the people of Israel agree it's important to make sure that the Egyptian military is strong.

But Egypt needs to continue its commitment to the Camp David -- Court but senator Johnson's ejection military now that some of the key leaders that that we that we -- or more moderate they're gone.

More she's gotten rid of them.

Now we're gonna give an F sixteen fighter jets and tanks.

I gotta be honest I -- it sometimes I gotta wonder -- this guy was a former terrorist in the Muslim Brotherhood help me out how does this.

Get it how does this strategically worked for Israel and us.

Well.

-- this somewhat concerning here in the you know what's really kind of misty is the same administration denies those same types of jet fighters to a good ally like death Taiwan.

And so and I I think we have to monitor the situation very carefully I agree senator -- -- -- I think it is critical that we maintain good relations with Egypt it's incredibly important country the largest Arab nation net.

Been in the world.

And that it is going to be vital bit Egypt and Israel maintaining a good working relationships are -- -- these are tough issues but I I'm more concerned about that shipment.

How helped me out either one of you just jump in and then tell me warm wrong this guy headed up the Muslim Brotherhood -- terrorist organization.

He's trying to implement Sharia law.

We now are giving -- one point five billion taxpayer dollars he refused -- -- it refers to our closest allies as apes and pigs and America as the enemy.

Why don't I think -- between played for suckers here.

-- on the most important thing I haven't tomorrow Hillary Clinton's secretary of state will be testifying.

The following day John Kerry.

Who's been nominated as the new secretary of state.

Will be coming in to testify and I think those questions that you -- are very important for secretary of state designate.

Kerry what we need to do with us secretary of state Clinton is specifically focus on the attacks and been Ghazi what she knew when she knew it.

What happened before.

Leading up to where the security was withdrawn.

What happened during the attacks what happened after and how we -- going to find justice because there is still no.

Justice well and -- now she's had four months to prepare senator and I assume that -- she's dotted every I crossed every T senator Johnson and you know this was -- the secretary of state that was blaming YouTube video that we now know had zero impact on this and and we do know the ambassador requested.

Extra security that was denied I don't know what possible answer could she give on this.

But I it'll be a senior right shot -- -- she she has had time to repair which shares an awful lot to answer for.

Mean why why were all those warnings ignored your party attacked -- what what was she doing during the attack.

And then what about afterwards you who's being held to account for it and the purposeful misleading of -- of ambassador rice.

And just in terms of State Department -- well you -- we heard good for people Sproles who resigned you're asked to leave.

None of those people left the department -- also now they're off lot of questions she's gonna have to answer and then you know we're we're very grateful -- she's coming up drew hill tomorrow to answer those questions.

-- wolf will have hopefully you guys back tomorrow we'll get a report on those hearings and of course will be covering them live right here in the Fox News Channel senators thank you both for being with us.
