Gov it gives you some of the findings. Theres the findings. Heres some of the facts that came out from the report that was released. This saying the following facts were amongst the many revelations found in part three of the report as its known. During deliberations in the state department whether or how to intervene in libya in march, 2011, Jake Sullivan stated, avoiding a failed state, also found the administrations policy of no boots on the ground shaped the type of military assistance provided by the state Department Personnel in libya. Executive secretariats for both the Defense Department and state department exchanged communications outlining the diplomatic capacity. Where the Defense Department team would serve to wear civilian clothes. Also found when the state departments presence in benghazi was extended in 2012, senior officials from the bureau of Diplomatic Security were excluded from that discussion. Thats some of the elements that came out from the report that came from the republicans. When responding to this, the day before, the democrats putting out a report of their own taking a look at it, one of the things that came out from the democrats on the committee included this statement saying republicans excluded democrats from interviews. And sealed exculpatory evidence, withheld interslew transcripts, leaked inaccurate information, sent armed marshals to the home of cooperative witness, and even conducted political fundraising by exploiting the death of four americans. Thats just. So back and forth that came out from the release of this report. Found online, we want to get your thoughts on if that effort as worth it, 2027488,000 for democrats. 2027488001 for republicans. For 27488002 independents. Larry, what do you think about this report . Caller what the Benghazi Committee was about, it was a way money. Bringing downhillry clinton. I dont understand why people dont understand what the man said. He said out of his own mouth on television what the committee was about. He told the truth. And the republicans tried to get him to back down after he told the truth. They didnt want it to come out. Thats why they dont want the democrats involved in it. They wanted to to hang mrs. Clinton from the highest tree. Thats exactly what they did. Have a nice day. Host republican who led the committee on this effort was tray gowdy, when the press release of the report came out, press conference came out, he was asked directly by a reporter about the benghazi investigation if it was about Hillary Clinton the heres what tray gowdy had to say. Look at the resolution. The resolution doesnt mention secretary clinton. Speaker boehner nor speaker ryan have ever asked me to do anything about 2016 president ial politics. Speaker boehner asked me to find out what happened to four of our fellow citizens. I believe that is what i have done. You are welcomed to read the report. I hope you will. I know you will. If you at the end of reading that report can conclude that it is about one person instead of about four people, i will be shocked. Im asking the opposite question. Do you believe after doing this for two years, spending all of your time and millions of dollars, do you believe that based on this that the American People should look at this and see the woman who wants to be president i was with you until the last clause of your statement. I think the American People ought to look at t they ought to look at it because fellow americans died and were injured and went to heroic lengths to save other americans. What conclusions they draw after reading it is up to them . Do you disagree with mr. Pompeo . I wrote the report that i think is centered in the facts. I have a background of who, what, when where. I dont have a background into why. Host republican tray gowdy of the House Select Committee talking about his take on the report that came out. Your take on if it was worth it. The lines will be on the screen, florida, independent line. Hello. Caller yes. That was a complete waste of time. That was investigated through the armed services. So the senate had to investigate, congress had to investigate. The f. B. I. Got to investigate. I guess we had a county sheriff investigate next, right . Host why do you think this latest effort was a waste of time specifically . Caller it shows if the armed forces didnt get it right, they know what happened over there when it first happened. They say they was going to do that that situation was going to jump off. They did it in texas. They did it in paris. That was all about a khartoum. All that other stuff was pure foolishness. Wasted our tax dollars. Host carl in west virginia. Republican line. Carl, what do you think . Caller good morning. Well, ill tell you what we did not find out. We did not find out that obama was sound asleep and there was no one to order the military to intervene. Another thing we found out that they lied to the American Public for political reasons telling everybody it was a video that caused this when it was actually a terrorist attack and Hillary Clinton told her daughter the same thing. It was a terrorist attack. When a president stands up and looks into the camera and tells the public a lie, knowing its a lie, for political reasons, thats not good. And another thing we found out that Hillary Clinton had the private server, putting top secret information on a private server that was vulnerable to being hacked. I found out a lot. I dont know what you guys found out. I found out a hell of a lot. Host did you look at the report yourself that came out, actually read what was on the website . Caller yeah. I read it. Yeah. Host so you learned the things you listed, did you know those things before or did you learn those things specifically from the report that came out . Caller no. I knew. I knew the president was sound asleep because he had a political event on the west coast the next morning. And he went to bed early so he could get up and go to that political event on the west coast the next morning. Its common sense. Host hear from john in spring, texas, independent line, good morning, john. Caller i think it was a waste of time. Junior bush and cheney sent 4,500 troops to their death. American troops are being on disability. They never went to jail or investigation once. This is the biggest bunch of maloney i have ever seen in my life. Its unfortunate that these people died over there, but we need to close about half of these embassies anyway. Ose were just outpostings joust posts. They were stirring up trouble in some cases. E got to stop running around host rob is up next, new york. Democrats line. Rob, tell us about your thoughts on the report. Did you think it was worth it . Caller you know, im listening to some of the previous callers. So what if the president went to bed early . So what if they blamed it on a video. Just imagine the millions of dollars spent, the time spent. Its a political distraction. Again, it takes us away from more urgent issues. Its, again, republicans wasting our time. The clintons, political witchhunt since whitewater or even before. Ts not like secretary clinton knew about this in advance that there was some kind of smoking gun or whatever. Its enough already with all of this same political posturing, political witchhunt on the part of the republicans. I urge the republican listeners to be fed up with their party and vote for mrs. Clinton. This next election. Thank you for cspan. Host well hear from somebody on our republican line. This is michael, new kensington, pennsylvania. Hello. Caller thanks for cspan. Thanks for taking my call, pedro. I completely disagree with the last gentleman. And im tired of republicans getting blamed for everything, including for the four people that died in benghazi. I think that its unconscionable that we should have an ambassador that was left, hung out to dry, that did not have security. They did not have a lot more stuff could have come out of this investigation than did, but for the obfuscation and recals transof the democrats on the committee. Who strictly looked at this from a political light. I dont think the republicans looked at it from a political light. I think that its just a shame that people cant look at it from an American Point of view whereas you have to respond when you put your own americans in danger and then i think one thing that came out from the committee, from the hearings, is that we could have responded and they kept saying no. The military kept saying, no, we couldnt have reached those assets. Theres no way we could have gotten there in time. Well, they could have. They didnt even try. They didnt even lift a finger. I think that is horrible. And it condemns the administration and Hillary Clinton for what they didnt do. And for what they did do to prevent this prevent the military from rescuing these people. Host twitter, said libya is responsible. Diplomatic missions are allowed to allow their own protections. And the investigation into the incident was a desperate attempt to bring downhillry clinton. Don from cannonsburg, pennsylvania, hello. Caller hello. 40 million the republicans spent on the whitewater going after the clintons. And ken starr, look what happened to him. Another selfrighteous republican. Hillary clinton, i know this is another waste of money. As you can tell the fox watchers by their comments this morning. You can tell the people that watch fox. They have opinions. Opinions. Everybody has been opinion. Its ridiculous. Host why do you think it was a waste of money, then . Caller because its a waste of money because thats going to be what they are going to spend money on, look at the mess that bush and cheney caused for nothing. In iraq and afghanistan. Sorry for raising my voice, when they go to afghanistan after bin laden and the taliban, ok. But they went into iraq on a lie and look at the unbelievable mess that they caused. They didnt even care about them before they wept in there. They thought were going to go in there, everything will be fine. I just think that either people that hate the clintons and thats just all there is to it. And shes going to be president and they cant deal with it. Host a report from iraq is coming out coming from the perspective of those in britain. Thats the iraq inquiry committee. Thats out of london. Will release a report wednesday about britains role in the iraq war. The report is a product of seven years of work likely to be the definitive assessment of a conflict thats rightly seen britain as the worst war blunder since 1956. The war claimed the lives of 179 british troops and more than 4,500 funs service members. Some of the key issues out of the report will be intelligence failures are expected to be a focus. Reliance by analysts on flawed sources of information about Saddam Husseins Weapons Program and the use of intelligence as part of the march to war. The reporters also expected to look at how the military intervention itself was carried out and the failure to plan for iraqs future and the aftermath of the invasion. More generally the report will examine the decision made within white hall. It will also be seen as a verdict of tony blairs tenure as prime minister. That report coming out wednesday. The benghazi report coming out last week. Were getting your thoughts on the information that came out of it and getting a sense from you if it was worth it. 2027488,000 for democrats. 202748 001 for republicans. For indsean, 8002 hello. Caller yeah, i would like to ask the question. There have been comments about bush and all that. Why dont they just go back to when u. S. A. First experienced with panama where they bomb the bombed the poor side. Shoiphoip stick to the benghazi report. What do you think coming out . What do you think came out of it . Caller its a joke. I mean a waste of time. Host why do you say that . Caller come on, man. They politicians. They are all politicians. Host owen from victoria, texas. Republican line, you are next up. Good morning. Caller good morning. Cspan, and good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I just flipped over to cspan from fox to cspan. Fox just on this benghazi, yes, investigate, investigate. Now, the plane that hillary and obama will fly up to wherever this morning, air force one, ost 207,000 per hour. 207,000. Host but sticking to the topic at hand as far as the benghazi report, specifically what did you learn from it, what did you get from it . Caller i got from it that washington is incoherent. They cant pour, excuse my language, urine out of a boot with directions wrote on the heel. They are inhe competent. Host well hear from arnold in North Carolina. Democrats line. Arnold, go ahead, youre on. Caller good morning, pedro. I think it was a terrible. Its a waste of money and time. One guy said earlier, that mccarthy, Kevin Mccarthy even spoke about it that they was doing it to bring Hillary Clinton down. This congress is set up right now they investigate, investigate. What about legislation . Our infrastructure is that of a third world country. Landing at la guardia airport, any airport, see how terrible it is. We just we waste time on investigations, stupid investigations. The democrats had george bush dead to rights when they took over in 2008, 2006. They didnt stop to investigate him and go through all this. Host arnold, as far as the report that came out, youre saying nothing new at least to you. You learned nothing from the information that came out . Caller nothing came out in the report. It just showed them that they was on a partisan witchhunt. Host did you look at the report personally yourself on any level . Caller yes, i did. I looked at it on the computer. Host even from everything that you learned, nothing new out of that . Caller nothing new. Nothing new at all. When they interviewed her for 11 hours on the committee, it was just like you could see the venom and the attacks on her. Its just outrageous the way they are wasting our time and money in congress. Legislate. You are there to legislate. Get legislation done. Get the country back up on its feet. Host hear from see seal cicil, good morning. Caller good morning, im just, i am just beyond i cant even believe that this is still being a discussion. It Hillary Clinton has been just attacked for years. This whole benghazi thing, she was interviewed for 11 hours. Nothing was found. But they just the republicans just keep coming after her and after her. They keep saying they were asleep. It was 3 00 in the morning. Actually when benghazi occurred, it was in the afternoon here in the United States. So that right there just astounds me. Its so funny because im now an independent but i was a long republican and im 62 years old. And when the whole obama thing came to light, i dropped being a republican because they are so out of touch with reality and they are just getting worse and worse. They keep investigating her, but yet nobody says anything about the fact that bush and cheney made so much money through halliburton when they sent them over to the middle east. Unbelievable. Host orlando, valley, alabama, republican line. Go ahead. Caller yeah. This is orlando. My big problem was when hillary came out i saw it on the news one morning when the plane was landed and she walks out there and speaks to one of the family members as they are rolling the coffins out and says were going to get the people who made that horrible video. She told one of the family members that on the tarmac as they was rolling out the casket. That woman to be able to do Something Like that when she told her daughter and told the president of egypt that it was not nothing to do with the film but terrorist attack. That takes some kind of gumption. But all through her lifetime once in a while it could be a witchhunt. But all the problems that womans had and clinton meeting with the lawyers i mean the d. O. J. Supervisors thats investigating that, i think its a crying shame and i think, yeah, they should be investigated. Everybody that allows one of our diplomats to die, everybody should not have a partisan person in it. But even now they are not even going to do anything about the lady at the d. O. J. Meeting with president clinton. You know its got to be wrong. I try to be an honest, decent human being, and try not to take sides, i admit im a republican but im a republican because i believe im a republican because of the abortion situation. This here is nonpartisan with me. Any time our diplomats die overseas and somebody tells a falsehood about it, they throw their self in a whole bad situation. Host lets hear from rose, monroe, michigan, democrats line. Caller yeah. Im a democrat but i dont i agree with the republicans what they have done and investigated because when Hillary Clinton starts lying and lying in a big way and she doesnt have the guts to tell the American People the truth just like obama, and i know all you obama out there thinks he walks on water but he doesnt. When you let americans die in a foreign country and they are sitting there scratching their heads on what uniform to wear, that is preposterous. Host thats rose. Monroe, michigan, democrat who is calling on the benghazi report that came out. Well take calls on that. If youre on the line hold on. If you still want to make your thoughts on it known, you can do so 202748 shall 8000 for democrats. 20274883001 for republicans. And independents 2027488002. President obama and Hillary Clinton will appear jointly today. Charlotte, North Carolina, its their first joint appearance. Joining us on the phone to talk about that appearance, jim morrill, from the Charlotte Observer, a reporter covering and taking a look at this. Mr. Morrill, good morning. Tha
