4:07 pm
to forge ahead a u.s. broes this sbring wipring with establishment there. chant. so we have to be careful. we asked him to do dangerous things knowing it was ex we have played that before on this show. we found that on youtube. that was a cleric leading a expeditio expeditious. we don't want to take unnecessary risks. rally in cairo. but we asking them to take what that cleric has been named to the human rights commission. we say are thes risks. earlier, i spoke to mohammed was this a necessary risk were salem and i asked him if that were they just ignoring the video and promoos was shocking to him at all. signs around them that caused this to happen? we just don't know for certain. >> no, we're dealing with >> is that right dianne slightly, i don't want to say feinstein, bob mendez havbeen on the show and have been direct in answering with question, were extremists because i think you know, extremists have some sense we caught flat footed, no. of their actions. what's your reaction to that? i think we're dealing with people who have dropped the arwa had reported she's been ball. >> was hosni mubarak better when into the consulate. it comes to certain things like there wasn't even a safe room women's rights or progress than morsi? >> i think what we're dealing with food and communications with is a different frame of quipt in there. never mind in a county they that
4:08 pm
isn't governed by a rule f law. >> i don't know how you argue we reference. i think mubarak didn't careful of his rights or human rights for that matter, but he had to weren't caught flat footed. maintain some sort of a front about it. they stormed our consulate and you know, because his words killed our ambassador and three don't matter, he did not execute other employees. that is being caught flat them. you know, i think what we're footed. now, what we have to ask is tell having now is a more clear me the circumstances surrounding oppressive regime. that. was it, did we know about it d you know, one that basically just missed it or did we get doesn't care what -- >> when you say more oppressive, caught flat footed and those sounds like you're saying that current government is more employees paid with their lives. >> the u.s. ambassador to the oppressive than what was a 30-year dictator ship. un, susan rice, said this was >> let me give you an example. not preplanned. here she is. just two days ago, just a few >> the best information and the days ago, actually, this young best assessment we have today is that in fact, this was not a christian guy got arrested at preplanned, premeditated attack. his house. apparently, he posted the video, the trailer of the offensive >> as chairman of the house muslim video on his facebook intelligence committee, do you page and that has prompted a mob believe her? >> i'm not sure i believe her or not. attack on his house and the i disagree, clear ly. police to arrest him and beat
4:09 pm
him up and charge him with all the information i see from the department of defense and disdreligion, which mns our intelligence agencies, they're recommending something he's going to spend two years in that's called a moderate degree of confidence, which is not jail. first of all, it's amazing that solid. that they think it was a in our country, our government, spontaneous event. that basically was brought on by some public, some open source, a revolution that started when you put it all together, through a facebook page, the when i look at the information, i mean, it had indirect fire, shared content was offensive and artillery type fire from mortar, actually jail the people running it, at least not for long, you direct unit action, it was know. it's now having government that coordinated in a way that was is going the same thing, except very unusual. this time, they're jailing them they were a quick reaction force and they want to put them for two years. that came to the facility and then you look at other bits of they are fantasies about control and the way we're supposed to information that we have act that don't correspond with reality or the world or including. they were getting information anything. and it's going to be their end. hosni mubarak did not reach that that these extremists that they were having a difficult time, that doesn't make sense. it looks like it was a planned level of insanity -- government and coordinated event. now, none of us know for sure to corruption, morsi have been be fair, but to say f certn doing for the past two months. that was a spontaneous event -- >> president obama said last >> you don't see it. >> no, i can't see it.ing
4:10 pm
we weekend in an interview that egypt is not an alley, but not from other countries. an enemy. obviously, there is a legal definition to ally in terms of we've been talking about this for months. treaties, but egypt gets a lot rise of al-qae and africa. of money from the united states and a lot of americans think you that is really entire of get that money when you were an northern africa. ally. we put the question to you. is egypt an ally of america? airman, tually, we went to the border of mali in july to report on the al-qaeda link >> well, the current government militas who have taken or is not an ally of america. the northern pt of the that's number one. country. number two, if the united states i'm just wondering from your wants to cut the aid, please do point view,o we should it. t not really going to affect regret what we did in lya, the egyptians. the majority of the aid goes to the military any way. inenthatt has caused so many weapons to go we don't see that money. >> interesting point of view missinging, around north africa there from an activist, to get al-qaeda to rise in such obviously, he is not a proponent of the current muslim brotherhood administration, but says they don't need the aid. joining us now, jonathan prince a broad region? >> the one mistake we made, and rick grenel. those of us who are voices of this early on is not securing the weapons systems that were there. we knew they had man pads. antiaircraft weapons and a whole rick, interesting that you have someone there saying we don't need the aid. fine and we're not an ally. cachet, all spread across the country. dictators aren't worried about extennell threats. what do you say? the way they had the cachets all >> well, first of all, you know,
4:11 pm
i can appreciate his point of view, but they do need the aid. around the the country, once it happened and there was that period of chaos, this became an it's $1.5 billion a year and arms bizarre, so it's not they absolutely need it. it's not just military aid although that's the majority of unusual to understand you had aid. i think that his point about al-qaeda, aqim from al giers, this government in egypt and how nervous he is is a great point. it's something that's been happening for many months and i think we've seen the islamists we'saying going to get ourselves some weapons and i across the middle east gaining have argued both privately and ground in yemen, in syria, in publicly that mali was the first egypt. they just killed our u.s. victim of the libyan revolution ambassador in libya. this is a problem that's been in the hands of people trying to happening and shockingly enough, overthrow the government. so, yes, that was clearly a we have a white house who say mistake. it's about some film. and we have an administration now, we're going to have to that has been looking the other rectify it and be more engaged, way and parading around like they killed osama bin laden and not less, to make sure we put a their work is done. it's shocking and i think the cap on this to make sure that media's got to start focusing on doesn't spread across africa, the fact that the islamists have been on the move. southern europe and the middle they've been on the move for a while. this is nothing new, erin. >> well, it's an interesting east. >> thank you very much, chairman. appreciate you taking the time. point and i think the
4:12 pm
still "outfront," we have new details about the person behind administration certainly like everyone is is confused on how to deal with it. the film which remains a t the center of the outrage. john, let me ask you this tonight, he is no longer in his home, so where is he? question. >> not everyone is confused. plus, mitt romney caught on tape let me just correct that. they are confused. making a joke about being al a latino and the booming economy >> i think that, well, i'm not going to get in the debate with you. i'll let you do that part. but the muslim brotherhood is of super pacs. different from country to there isn't an economy making billions of dollars on your country. but what i want to ask you is vote. r their clients' futures. what the public is saying so far about how the president handled helping millions of americans retire on their terms. these attacks. get your response, then rick's. when they want. so, president obama, mitt where they want. doing what they want. ameriprise. the strength of a leader in retirement planning. romney, 26% approve. 48% disapprove. the heart of 10,000 advisors working with you one-to-one. those are obviously not good numbers for mitt romney. i'll get to rick on that in a together for your future. moment. but 45% approve, is that a big ♪ win or no? >> look, i think those are good numbers. anytime in polling where you ask and sounds vying a question and said what do you for your attention. think of obama, what do you so we invented a warning think of romney? people default to their partisan you can feel. position. the real question is where are introducing the all-new cadillac xts. they breaking? available with a patented safety alert seat. where's the advantage?
4:13 pm
when there's danger you might not see, the differential. how does it break down on the you're warned by a pulse in the seat. way, what you see internals of that poll. democrats highly supportive of it's technology you won't find president obama. in a mercedes e-class. republicans, very lukewarm on romney. that kind of intensity is a the all-new cadillac xts has arrived, problem. the differential, thatst a and it's bringing the future forward. problem for romney. the reason is because what we saw from mitt romney is begins with back pain and a choice. something in kindergarten, take advil, and maybe have to take up to four in a day. engage brain before opening or take aleve, mouth thing. you can't play the kind of talk which can relieve pain all day th just two pills. first shoot later think afterwards style of diplomacy. good eye. it's not what works for commander in chief. >> rick, you hear 26% for romney. that's got to make you scared. >> sure. it's a terrible number. i'd like to know what was given to these respondents to respond because if they were given in i news media reports from the last week, i wouldn't blame them. the news media has been atrocious. here, we have mitt romney waiting 15 hours while the islamists are beginning to take over our embassy. we can debate on whether 15 hours is too early like this
4:14 pm

[ heart rate increases ] man: a few inches of water caused all this? while she went -- [ heart rate increases ] >> not right away. >> 7:00 p.m. is when we reported an american dead. woman #2: but i don't even live near the water. >> correct. secretary clinton went out hours what you don't know about flood insurance may shocyou -- later. >> rick, rick, rick, let me say what i'm going to say. including the fact that a preferred risk policy let me say it first. starts as low as $129 a year. it's a little reminiscent of the for an agent, call the number way your candidate jumped out. that appears on your screen. >> make your point.
4:15 pm
secretary clinton was out there that night, very clear, the loss of life is unacceptable. we did not have the facts. we did not know the ambassador was dead. no way to notify next of kin. what you do no diplomacy because words matter in diplomacy. >> okay, so let me have my point now. >> hold on. it's got to be clear -- >> no, you had your point. words matter. >> overnight, you have to -- >> the president of the united states was out there making it very clear how ir rep henceable these attacks were. >> the only part i agree with is words matter. caught on tape. when we have a developing now, this is a day when mitt situation when people with coming oaf the wall, when the romney was trying to retool his al-qaeda flag is being raised on image, but then a video came the u.s. embassy, where is the out. mitt romney at a fupd raiser president of the united states? don't tell me he can't speak up. e video was obtained by the call the president of egypt.

our viewers, you're going to just as seriously: our commitment to america. make the days lost up to strike. bp supports nearly two-hundred-fifty thousand jobs communities across the country. >> that's absolutely right. >> let me ask you something we hired three thousand peoplastt ear. educational. i'm very curious. this whole issue about the invests more in america than in any other country. teachers who were laid off getting the right -- first sort of rights at jobs when they open in fact, over the last five ye no other energy company has invested more in the us than bp. up. under the compromise, at least our understanding was about half, 50% of new hires would we're working to fuel america for generations to come. come from a pool of laid off today, our commitment to the gulf, and to america, teachers, some of those could have been laid off because they didn't have tenure, others has never been stronger. because their performance wasn't up to standard. how does that make sense? >> well, really, i think you've got to really reframe the question. really, the reason that we're concerned is because a lo of school closings, right now with the mayor as an active attempt to destroy schools and communities by going in and labeling a school a failure, knocking all the teachers out, anybody in the building is suddenly deemed unworthy of unemployment, et cetera. we think that's wrong. we think that it's criminal, actually, that they're destroying the stability in those schools and in those
