It's -- nominees 'cause 9 AM out west and we -- on the hunt here at foxnews.com live hello everybody I'm Jonathan Hunt a dramatic couple of hours.

A testimony from second of state Hillary Clinton.

In front of the -- Senate Foreign Relations Committee today.

Testifying about the attack on our -- -- in -- Ghazi Libya which as you well know.

-- September 11 cost the lives of four Americans among them our ambassador.

Chris Stevens I want to get straight to one of the senators who was questioning secretary of state Clinton today senator John Barrasso Republican.

Of Wyoming senator thank you so much festival for being here are you satisfied with the -- you've got from the secretary.

We'll -- -- -- thank you Jonathan.

You're the secretary had a number of prepared answers that I believe she was going to give to whatever questions.

Were being asked there are still more questions that need to be answered.

Still no one has been brought to justice as a result of this in terms of the terrorists or in terms of the people I believe here on the ground in the in the State Department.

Who prevented the additional security that continue to be requested.

By ambassador Stevens.

Senator one of the questions you mosque walls do you genuinely believe that madam secretary that al-Qaeda.

Has been decimated as the Obama administration.

Has implied what did you make of -- -- that.

Well I think that she had planned for that question and she talked about core al-Qaeda so she.

Really didn't just say all of al-Qaeda because al-Qaeda has continued to.

Raleigh news and many other places.

Around the world and we're seeing that even today in -- in northern Africa.

So I think she kind of hedged her answer.

But for the Americans who are seeing what's happened with the recent hostage event and and the murders there.

You know I believe these terrorists are being emboldened.

Emboldened because no terrorists was brought to justice.

As a result of what happened in Ben Ghazi -- -- trying to get to that.

Took to the root of that issue.

With with the secretary which he obviously kind of soared to sidestep it by saying core al-Qaeda.

In Afghanistan.

Rejecting all of the other or ignoring some of the other issues that are happening around the world do you accept her arguments -- -- that it is extraordinarily.

Difficult.

In the chaotic situation of Libya next door in in Algeria -- from Aaron -- -- it is extraordinary difficult to track.

And bringing to justice the kind of people who took -- in the consulate attack.

Well I believe it is quite difficult to do it when I asked her the specific question she said the president has promised that it will be done.

It's now been over four months since the it since the attack in the murders and she said you can take the president -- -- word for that.

Well I am not as convinced and is confident that we're gonna see the kind of justice at the American people are going to demand are either.

Did senator and a lot of my views have been -- -- particularly seizing on the moment it would shut -- of state Clinton said.

You know was it because there -- protests -- guys that pearl Walt what difference at this point does it make.

Top job to figure out what happened do everything we can.

To prevent it from happening again what about you -- friends and -- you've got to be -- the difference between fact and fiction and fiction.

What did you make of that particular point.

Well I agree with your viewer because it does make a difference that was senator Ron Johnson asking the specific.

Question as to the cause of all of this because you know the administration had held for a couple of weeks.

That it was because of of a video a bad movie that it was a spontaneous demonstration.

And we know that that wasn't the case but I think that the American people are disturbed because there has been no justice.

Neither to the terrorists or to the people who were overseeing activities -- the at the State Department.

Okay senator so you've now -- as -- -- for quite some time.

Up from the second of state you've heard as you say planning their comments and she needed to make.

Some emotional more emotional.

Conversations with her as well -- more -- but -- ones.

Walk do you believe.

Needs to happen next.

-- need to make sure that the State Department actually implements.

The the steps that have been recommended in this review process tonight where it went through that.

The review process that have been released to the public as well as the one that is not been released and I want to make sure that those things are apple actually.

Implemented and I want to be able to question.

The designees secretary.

Said John Kerry during his hearings.

To specifically ask about al-Qaeda terrorism globally as well as making sure that we have put into place.

Program -- something like this will never happen again all right senator John Barrasso Republican of Wyoming thank you so much for rushing out of the -- to join us today senator.

Thank you Jonathan --
