Are you surprised at the president the United States never called you secretary Panetta and say has it go north.

You know -- normally in these situations so -- he -- the level of threat will it with David let me finish the answer we.

We were deploying the forces he knew we were deploying the forces.

He was being kept what I had I hate to interrupt you but I got limited time wouldn't deploy any forces know but it did but if you call it that way you know it was over -- By the best director you didn't know how long the attack -- -- Did you ever call him and say mr.

present it looks like we don't have -- thing that get -- Tencent.

It the event was over.

Before it lands -- almost -- eight hours and Mac question do you is -- and that eight hour period did the president show any curiosity about how is this going.

What kind of assets do you have helping these people did he ever make that -- well look -- There is no question in my mind -- -- United States.

Was concerned about American lives -- all due respect I don't all of that's incredible.

They admitted he never called a Nash -- are we helping these people -- what's happening to their.

Guards Mike Huckabee and how he thinks the president handled this one might.

Remember the and back in the 2008 campaign the phone rings at the White House at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Will be the phone rang and it rang and it rang and nobody answered this is an outrageous dereliction of duty on the part of the president.

You know who who was it that made the decision that you don't.

In -- the president and the secretary of state because Martin Dempsey affirmed.

That neither was she involved in conversations the president I guess decided he -- a good night's sleep he's he's going to Vegas the next day for a fund raiser.

But there were the tragedy is this -- eight -- to attack taking place in been Ghazi.

And we're just now five months after the event just finding out.

That the reason we never got a photograph is because there wasn't one of him on the phone he wasn't on the phone Mike this really surprising here and say.

But there was one phone call made he wasn't sure way out or how long it lasted it to the president and I think you said there was wanted -- secretary of state Hillary Clinton as well shocking.

It is shocking and it -- it ought to continue to get a lot of attention on Capitol Hill.

And I think it's.

To me a great indication of why.

It Democrats and Republicans alike ought to be outraged and questions need to be asked what what are the other questions to secretary Panetta was how come we didn't send assets and at one point secretary said well.

You know taking eighteen hours -- yes that's what that we had assets in Tripoli.

Should take eighteen hours -- from Tripoli to the -- No and you can is always -- -- fighter jets even if they don't do anything other than fly over just in a few hundred feet.

And scare the daylights out of whoever it is attacking and they don't know that -- not gonna drop bombs are dropped soldiers.

-- there there are things that it seems to me as a civilian.

That that could have been done should have been done and would have been done had somebody been paying attention to the seriousness of this.

We're gonna scare them but -- the White House is done they released a list of some sequester scare tactics.

Take a look at what they say will happen if sequester.

Takes effect couple of things -- gonna rattle them off 2100 fewer food inspectors.

Right inspectors' inspections.

70000.

School kids.

May be kicked off of head start 101000 teacher jobs at risk four million meals on wheels for seniors.

What it sounds scary.

You know what it's a great opportunity to remind people that the president has refused to show the leadership necessary to bring members of the house and the senate together.

Hadn't been a budget since the 23 of April 2009.

Because Harry Reid won't put one on the floor.

But you can't blame the Republicans for this democrats' -- two pieces of three that make government work.

The Republicans in the house have consistently passed budgets they've attempted to put things before the president and before the senate.

Harry Reid won't bring it up and all of the president has time to do is to go out and blame Republicans for what's wrong so this may happen it will hurt a lot of people.

But it doesn't have to the president would step up and be present arcade video what's what's on the show tomorrow -- who we have on -- -- don't.

We're going to be talking about cyber hacking and how it is affecting a lot of people George Bush we just found out.

His -- code was hacked into it that this is a serious issue for -- we've got a lot more of course but.

By the way CC -- Houston Whitney's mother will be on our show tomorrow right well.

Great hockey can catch ought to be -- 8 PM eastern right my thanks thanks.
