(cheers and applause) and i'm not the only one! >> mainstream media outrage over the benghazi terror attacks but it's certainly not new for you out there, our viewers, because the wrenching report on "60 minutes" last night was filled with information fox uncovered months ago. >> i think it's great mainstream media is finally catching up. cbs did this story on benghazi and i see criticism from the left where they go you guys are covering a phony scandal. "60 minutes" doesn't cover phony scandals. >> stephen: yes, another network covered it. that's how you foe fox news' reporting is accurate. (laughter) it's just like their motto "we report, but you should really check with someone else." (laughter and applause) also, cbs should have checked with someone else because morgan jones' story turned out to be totally fake. including his name, which is not morgan jones but dylan davies, which actually sounds even more fake.

this week you chose benghazi and we are back now with the panel. well, now, that comment from the fbi director steve comes just as congress is beginning to gain more and more access to the survivors of the attack. is it your sense that we're gabeing a different understanding than the white house now about what happened that night? >> i think in some important respects we are. particularly from the three survivors, cia affiliated survivors who testified yesterday. i think they raised some questions about the time lines but there were also additional questions raised about these nondisclosure agreements which the agency had insisted were not presented to benghazi survivors there was no effort to try to keep them from talking. and we find out that these nondisclosure agreements, which were legally unnecessary, were presented to benghazi survivors at a benghazi memorial held at the cia headquarters at langley. now, they didn't mention benghazi specifically, but you tell me what you think the message was intended to send. i think between that and betwee

they did not store collected weapons at benghazi. none of the weapons collected were ever transferred to syria. >> if you want to find out what happened, you have to talk to the cia. >> sources familiar with the negotiations between the contractors and the house intelligence committee tell fox news that the hearing will be classified and a subpoena was not necessary. one of the contractors was so severely injured in benghazi that the blood loss was life threatening and since he has had multiple surgeries. >> fox news has learned exclusive details on why the two delta force operators who volunteered to help defend the u.s. diplomatic facility in benghazi have been nominated for the distinguished service cross and the silver star. at least one of them went into a hospital under terrorist control to retrieve the body of the slain u.s. ambassador. and they both carried dead and injured off the roof of the cia annex after sustained mortar fire. >> president obama says the u.s. wants iraq to pass an election law so people can discuss the d

the state department picked a team to look into what happened at benghazi. they interviewed these survivors to tell us as a member of congress who has to explain to the families are they being straight and honest with you from the obama administration? it is not too over the top. i shouldn't have to do this. i shouldn't have to make these kind of threats. they should provide in a responsible way those who lived through benghazi to be interviewed separate and thea administration to find out what happened before during and after and i am so sad to say to the families this is the anniversary of the election, a year later the congress really doesn't know anything what happened in benghazi from those who lived through it. >> we are talking about someone like jay johnson, who is the president's nominee to be the new secretary of homeland security or as you can see janet yellen, the new chair of the federal reserve. big jump up. question: how long are you prepared to hold up their nominations and everyone else's, people who are going to be doing and need to do impo

if, in fact, he did tell chris stevens and the entire system that the security arrangement in benghazi is going to fail, that the contract guard force is interior, that the militia is unreliable, that you need to beef up security or you're going to get people killed, then the people in charge, secretary clinton, and others, need to answer for that. >> four americans, including ambassador chris stevens, killed in the september 11th attack on our consulate there last year. >>> secretary of state john kerry arriving in saudi arabia this afternoon. the second stop in his nine-day tour of the middle east and

i think the dam is about to break on benghazi. we're going to find political manipulation seven weeks before an election. we're going to find people asleep at the switch when it comes to the state department including hillary clinton. you can imagine republican glee when two weeks ago cbs's "60 minutes" broadcast a story on how the situation was handled. here's that. >> cbs did this story on benghazi and i see criticism from the left where they go you're covering a phony scandal. >> and the "60 minutes" report recently that came out -- >> when i watched this report last night, i thought, well, about time. >> can you imagine if we knew these things before the election? >> can you only imagine. >> they're jumping with glee when "60 minutes" reported initially. but big development. laura logan delivered an apology for that story with a source

we get a phone call from tripoli or benghazi or whatever. we get the coordinates via google earth, and we verify that there's a location that needs to be hit. we send in a torpedo and then it is gone. >> really? how does that feel knowing you can call in a tomahawk missile over there? >> it's out of the movies. >> did anyone think it was possible that in their lave time they'd see the end of this son of a bitch? most people tell me they never dreamed. >> i don't know if you call them dreams, hopes, wishes. it was just something in the sky. something i look at every night. when i hit that point and got in to misrata and stood on gadhafi's body, any dream will come true. >> what's the situation now? >> it's fluid. it can swing any direction. >> well, look, what happened in benghazi a few months ago, i mean, what does this mean to the country? >> i think there is a dark, mysterious hand that doesn't like this country to prosper. they see system and organization as a big enemy to them. these concerns are slowly getting diminished. a matter of ti

new testimony from cia eyewitnesses to the benghazi terror attacks. revealing that the u.s. ambassador to libya and fellow americans were left unable to defend themselves when the attack took place on september 11th, 2012. our chief intelligence correspondent katherine harris has been working this story. she's live in washington with that news. >> thank you, megyn. this idea that we were somehow blindsided by the benghazi terrorist attack just doesn't have merit based on this new testimony. these cia personnel told the house intelligence committee in closed session that there was a notice that was posted on the bulletin board at the cia annex in benghazi. this was air base of operations. they said basically, look, guys, it's 9/11, we're looking at the increase of hostilities against western targets. when they saw chris stevens show up in benghazi on september 10th with virtually no additional security, what they testified to lawmakers is that they were puzzled and that there must have been some reason, something important that brought him to benghazi at that time, megyn. >>

we're trying to get answers ourselves what happened in benghazi because there are so many unanswered questions. >> the members of congress doesn't want this information filtered which is what you get in these briefings and documents. they want them straight from the participants and they want three basic questions. what was the cia doing in libya? there are allegations the cia was operating a gun running program with guns going from libya to syria rebels. an official says that's not true, saying u.s. officials in benghazi in no way were involved in transferring arms to the rebels in syria or any other conflict zone before or after the attack. the second question, what are the details of the failed rescue attempts? these are what the family members want to know. we heard a group of would be rescuers at the cia annex were armed and ready to go within minutes of the attack, four minutes quite frankly. they were held off until finally they on their own decided to stage a rescue. congressmen want to know why the wait. and finally, that over hanging political question did administration kn

another three or four days of benghazi. lindsey graham's waiting to bring it and pound away with benghazi. he did it again with this. he's now attacking again on benghazi because of ending the filibuster power. >> and threatening to block janet yellen who had nothing to do with benghazi. >> weren't they over there somewhere? >> she must have been. i don't know where she was that night. so she needs to answer questions. >> unbelievable. >> it is unbelievable. that is what they're doing. and similarly on the affordable care act, there are fixes that need to be made. we've all known it. we've known it since the day after it was passed because that's what happens with big legislation. but they won't collaborate on common sense fixes. so you've got the legislative path completely obstructed. you've got the appointment path. you've got the judicial nominations held up. it's a complete breakdown. and now democrats have realized we've got to go ahead. we're going to let him make these appointments. we're going to govern as best we

remember, we did that benghazi story. the threshold is the imprint of simon and shuster,al l though it has now been recalled. being pulled out of -- we're trying to get video of them packing up the books. >> by the way, that's a cbs decision. >> conservative imprint that publishes books by glenn beck, sarah palin. i mean, that's the world this story is coming out of. those are some red flags. >> they wants to key into it. there's an automatic audience there, but when you're going to wade into that, you have to be careful. you cannot stain your reputation just because you want to sort of fuel this. one other quick point. after the national guard story, you know, 2004, "60 minutes," their last real huge embarrassment, they appointed a panel. did lots of interviews, hired lots of lawyers. >> i want to talk about that. famously dan rathers producer on the story of the national guard documents, forged documents about president bush's record in the national guard. had this to say, the story is done to appeal to more conservativ

i think benghazi is whitewater. so, in writing this book, one of the things that i felt was a sense of deja vu all over again. you know, i was very involved in covering the clinton scandals and then uncovering them and exposing the right-wing conspiracy. and you had right-wing lawyers coaching so-called whistle-blowing witnesses. >> feeding them to media. >> that's right. and then they testify and then they don't testify to what the lawyers are telling the press. so, there's a lot of aspect to this, just phony stuff, you know, the smoking gun darrell issa produced a cable showing that secretary clinton lied under oath when she said she had no knowledge of the relates for security, and it ends up that the "washington post" shows that the cable was auto-penned and she had no knowledge of it, so sure. >> steven reiner is former producer for "60 minutes" and cbs, now professor of journalism at stony brook university. you were there during the rathergate phenomenon, the national guard story that became such a huge story.

benghazi terror attack and raising serious questions about the lack of security. kt, great to see you. so there were closed door hearings with the house intel- committee and new information came out and basically said the cia was aware that the security situation in benghazi is deteriorating and aware that 9/11 could be a flash point of violence and alerted the state department. so why didn't the state department take better precautions for that day? >> that is the big day. now we realize that our intelligence is pretty good. there were red flashing lights and there were alarm bells clanging and the cia told the state department and ambassador that something is going down and somebody ignored it. there is a paper trail to this. i have been in government and there is always, especially if it is military state department and everything it is in triplicate. the cia told the ambassador and state department there is an e-mail and who got it? and why did they ignore it? did it go to the spam folder? i don't believe it. there is a trail and it is important to look and fi

diplomatic facility in benghazi. adam housley is in san francisco with new documents and images and what they tell us. >> reporter: quietly, the u.s. state department this week posted 57 entries from freedom of information act requests online in its virtual reading room. the documents and photos, which reveal little new information, are just a fraction of the benghazi evidence still being withheld now more than a year after ambassador chris stevens and three others were killed in a libyan terrorist attack. >> this is an administration that is in full stonewall mode when it comes to benghazi. >> reporter: the government watchdog group judicial watch is one of the organizations that has forced the state department to release a few documents through lawsuits. but this posting of photos and press reports however small hasn't come without a fight. >> the fact is that a nonprofit organization had to sue the state department to get documents and photos of the benghazi consulate attack. it came as a result of our lawsuit. it

twitter is alive, and i am looking at your page, too, a lot of comments on benghazi. pat, i will be interested to see as the conversation goes forward how much bipartisan support graham gets, too. >> don't hold your breath. you can continue the conversation with the political insiders on twitter at fninsiders. if you have not watched it, it's really fun, at foxnewslive.com. don't miss it. >>> a gator hanging out on his own at one of our nation's busiest airports. he doesn't look that harmful. well, he is a little bigger -- okay. huma. even when weross our t's and dot our i's, we still run into problems. namely, other humans. which is why, at liberty mutual insurance, auto policies come with new car replacement and accident forgiveness if you qualify. see what else comes standard at libertymutual.com. liberty mutual insurance. responsibility. what's your policy? why let erectile dysfunction get in your way? talk to your doctor about viagra. ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pai it may cause an unsafe drop in

the ground in benghazi released the investigations. the witnesses are offering new information that conflicts with earlier testimony. >> there are discrepanciediscre. >> sources tell fox news the witnesses reinforce the vus that personnel were ill equipped to deal with assault. some contractors characterized the fight as consistent and constant. again this raises questions about the lack of military response. in addition to addition of four killed, one of the contractors testifying this week was so severely injured during the mortgager attack that he is not regained full use of his arm despite multiple surgeries. dip la mattic security agent has undergone multiple injuries for a severely injured leg, the procedure gnome as a limb salvage. the photo of the man is not shown in full. both patients at walter reed medical center. reed spoke to fox on background. after his death, young's widow gave us the permission to broadcast the audio about the terrorist attack. >> it was a very very military type of operation. they had knowledge of almo

benghazi. and starting with the senate hearing in february. >> i think it's inexcusable that you did not know about this and you did not read these cables. i would think by anybody's estimation libya has to have been one of the hottest of hot spots around the world. not to know of the requests for securities, really i think cost these people their lives. their lives could have been saved had someone been more available, had someone been aware of these things, more on top of the job. >> and the beat goes on. dick cheney out promoting his book said, quote, she clearly wasn't hands on referring to the secretary of state. and now she doesn't want to be hands on. and she's doing everything she can to avoid responsibility for what clearly fell into her bailiwick. and what i always recall is her testimony saying what difference does it make? and the fact is the matter is it would make a huge different. it was never answered to a satisfactory answer. anyway, and back in may. politico senator lindsey gr

after the break, a "60 minutes" report includes a new eyewitness account from the attack in benghazi and ignites a new firestorm. we'll look at the argument next. n is going to grow by over 90 million people, and almost all that growth is going to be in cities. what's the healthiest and best way for them to grow so that they really become cauldrons of prosperity and cities of opportunity? what we have found is that if that family is moved into safe, clean affordable housing, places that have access to great school systems, access to jobs and multiple transportation modes then the neighborhood begins to thrive and then really really take off. the oxygen of community redevelopment is financing. and all this rebuilding that happened could not have happened without organizations like citi. citi has formed a partnership with our company so that we can take all the lessons from the revitalization of urban america to other cities. so we are now working in chicago and in washington, dc and newark. it's amazing how important safe, affordable housing is to the future of our society. we've alwa

levin, if i could go back to your question with respect to benghazi. a 1.i would like to offer to the immittee -- the one point want to offer for the committee, sent to the benghazi attacks were presented a number of briefings to members of this committee as well as other members. probably over a dozen briefings that presented a multimedia presentation, including surveillance video, overhead imagery, witness statements, describing every facet we have from an intelligence perspective about the attacks. so, we have had a number of activities to present everything we know from the intelligence community party perspective about the attacks in benghazi and we would offer that again if the committee were interested in seeing that. >> i am curious about the direct deposit comment about not having talked to the prosecutors, whether or not that might impact his opinion whether or not for some reason congress should not have access to those of survivors. i don't know of any reason, either, by the way. i have to tell you. notink this whole thing has been handled

his new e-book, "the benghazi hoax." thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> what are republicans saying now that have been discredited? >> well, first, fox aired 13 segments the day after this discredited "60 minutes" story ran. as you noted in your piece, senator graham has used this as an excuse to block president obama appointees, to open up investigation. senator cruz has said the state department should offer $5 million for more information on benghazi. and why was "60 minutes" important to the right? it was validation for their view that we still don't know the truth here and this is some kind of watergate level scandal when it's a hoax. "60 minutes" aided and abetted the right wing hoax. she said they did this knowingly. they knew this source was a liar. they put the liar on the air. the big story here is not that the source was a liar. i imagine people come into "60 minutes" all the time with false reports. rei rely on them to get the truth. they didn't do that. they wanted to believe this story and w

the situation seems to be calm again and benghazi. checked on one of the entrance of benghazi. where thousands of antigovernment protesters have entered the finance ministry compound in the country's capital in a campaign to topple the government of you lookister shinawatra. amid claims the government is controlled by ousted leader toxin shinawatra come her brother. -- sachsen shinawatra. it came after 100,000 people marched in bangkok some of the largest rally thailand had seen in years. earlier i asked our correspondent if this is likely a repeat of 2010. protesters on the streets in 2010 with a so-called red shirts those who support the current government and scene of bringing the current government in power forcing the democratic party to dissolve parliament and call new elections. in the past eight years since the 2006 coup, there have been deep divisions in the country. protesters out there today say they are fighting for democracy, anksin is a puppet government but asking for more reinstatement of the party from the palace, the less democracy. complicatedns and to see fr

fox says it stands by its b benghazi story. and it is an important story. it was "60 minutes," too, the spin-off broadcast that had the dan rather memo base, the national guard story that essentially resulted in him being ousted. is this in the same class? >> steve glober was quoted by "the washington post" saying this is not as big of a deal. what made the dan rather story so powerful almost ten years ago now was it was rather clearly obsessed for destroying the bush family. cbs took a little while to admit the mistake or within a week or three or four days, they had flat out owned it. so i think it will be a blip, not a shipwreck. >> and fager did say, quote, you have to say you were wrong and in this case we were wrong. and i think that kind of apology gives you a lot of credibility. >> especially in the case unlike dan rather who was later forced to apologize and later said he believed in the truth of the story. >>> now to a story that made a lot of on news this week. president obama under a lot of pressure and the health care rollout, his famous words,

now the latest on the attack on the consulate in benghazi. the obama administration is reluctantly complying with the law and releasing previously classified material about last year's deadly terror attack. fox news senior correspondent adam housley looks at the new documents and images and tells us what they mean. >> quietly the u.s. state department this week posted 57 injuries from free -- inquiries from the freedom of information request online in virtual reading room. document and photos that reveal little new information are a fraction of the benghazi evidence still being withheld now more than a year after ambassador chris stevens and three others were killed in the libyan terrorist attack. >> this is an administration in full stonewall mode when it comes to benghazi. >> the government watchdog group judicial watch is one of the organizations that is forced the state department to release a few documents through lawsuits. but this online posting of the photos, contracts and press reports, however small has it come without a fight. >> t

consulate in benghazi, libya, as you'll recall, four americans including the u.s. ambassador to libya tide in that ferocious attack. and republicans critical of the white house response on the night of september 11th have demanded access to witnesses. well now they'll get their chance in just a couple of weeks, cia operatives who were on the ground that night will share new detailness of the siege and a failed attempt to rescue those trapped americans. drew griffin of the cnn investigations unit is pushing forward on this story. he has this exclusive report. >> reporter: cnn learned a house intelligence subcommittee is scheduled to hear from cia security officers in benghazi, who are expected to tell a much more detailed story on what went on the night ambassador chris stevens and three others were killed in a terrorist attack. the men described by sources to cnn as former navy s.e.a.l.s, former army special forces and former marines were under contract to guard cia agents on the ground. the security officers were among those who responded when ambassador stevens'

"outfront," digging into benghazi from the beginning. drew, what happened in the secret hearings today? >> the reason the hearings were secret is because they are finally hearing these congressmen are hearing from cia personnel who are on the ground in benghazi. that was one of the big holes they were telling us they were not getting. so they wanted to hear from them. they did apparently hear from them. and they heard from the security specialist. security personnel who were assign to protect the cia in its mission if benghazi. and we did get some new information on that from the committee itself. and they're basically saying that although there is been a lot of talk of discrepancies, there was not much discrepancy in what they found. if i can just read from you what they are telling us, all the cia activities in benghazi were legal and authorized. on the record testimony establish that's the cia was not sending weapons from libya to syria. or facilitating any other organization from doing that. and this document i just received also put
