Caroline senator Lindsey Graham has been leading the effort to find out more about what happened the night of September eleventh in Libya he joins us now here on sets under Gramm welcome thank

you %HESITATION there seem to be a lot of things that you're still trying to find the answer to all the president today said and %HESITATION Google hangout %HESITATION

that there are and I'm not quoting here but he said seems they're running out of questions to ask paraphrasing

what he said %HESITATION your response to that on this %HESITATION I've destroyed a small for us trying to get the president to an account for his leadership in the knowledge about Benghazi and I've got one question answered are probably sent thirty here's

a good question the man released in Tunisia do you think we had anything on him or not because the reason I intervened to

set up the FBI interviews as I was told by the FBI that this is a leading suspect in the attack on the consulate why

did I have to do this Mister president why did you call the Tunisian government Mister president when the %HESITATION British ambassador was attacked in June of this year and

they decide to close their consulate did you know about it and why do we keep our eyes open there we just scratching the surface of questions this White

House the Stonewall delayed in denied so nothing could be further from the truth about us %HESITATION not

asking did you ever pick up the phone to call a Libyan official on September eleventh during the attack and

he said after a two page letter from his lawyer no the president only call leaving government officials the

next day the night of twelfth September after they were dead the point is that the rescue team was held up at the Benghazi airport for three and a half hours trying

to get to the annex to help these people nove always believed if the president picked up the phone there's

no %HESITATION voice in the world like that at the present nine states it made a difference he never called anybody in Libya he

never talked to secretary defense %HESITATION other that fifteen minute %HESITATION %HESITATION initial %HESITATION %HESITATION

state you know assessment %HESITATION he didn't talk to Brennan he didn't talk to Jack Lew he didn't talk to Dempsey and Panetta during the evening he never called and said how

are we doing how close are we to getting aid there as far as I can tell he was completely disengaged and

when he turned around in the third debate and basically say ass in these people in harm's way I know their families he

was letting us all believe he was hands on and quite frankly seems to me that he was incredibly detached you

know you know what I want to listen to exactly what the president said today on this %HESITATION on this topic regarding

Benghazi let's take a listen this is the most transparent administration in history there are a handful of issues mostly around national security where

people have legitimate questions where they're still concerned about whether or not we have all the information we

need Benghazi by the way is not a good example of that that was largely driven by campaign stuff

because everything about that we've had more testimony %HESITATION and more paper that provided and

I I do want to play again %HESITATION Hillary Clinton from her testimony we've we've heard this before but but
