again, thanks for watching us tonight. i am bill o'reilly. remember that the spin stops right here because we're definitely looking out for you. breaking news changes everything on fox news channel. i'm shepard smit breaking tonight, we are just learning that additional officers officers officers are being deployed to airports across the new york and new jersey region tonight in response to a devastating terror attack on the international airport in istanbul, turkey. an ally to the united states for over 60 years. it comes as we get chilling warnings that more attacks could be coming over the next eight days in particular. welcome to the kelly file on a busy night. i'm megan kelly. earlier this year isis told supporters to attack during the hol ea month of ramadan that ends next week. one succeeded in orlando, florida and now all indications point to another isis-inspired or directed attack in turkey. this time at one of the

world's busiest airports. we believe at least 36 people have died. some reports suggest the number may rise to 50 and some 147 more are reported injured. although they are still working on the official numbers. the attack believed to have been carried out bay at least threeing perhaps four, perhaps more. we warn you that the videos are december turk. from one apg dwell -- angle people are milling about in the hall. you can see the explosion in the back of the screen. we believe this was near an outdoor window and this is where it all began. reporting suggest the attackers came to the door for screening. one man had a coat on and then showed his suicide vest and began firing while people ducked for cover. another video attackers are spotted running with guns near the area where travelers would typically go through security. yet another video shows what appears to be another attacker coming around the corner and then he appears to get shot

and his gun flies across the floor. he goes down and rolls over, but he manages to set off his own explosive vest or belt or something else he is wearing, but not before innocent bystanders manage to get away, at least those within the screen. a third video which may show another angle of people running august way from the last attacker. we can't tell you for sure. you can see an explosion of allout chaos. de spait the devastation there were some heros on the scene today that prevented the attack from being much, much worse including reports of an officer who wrestled one of the bombers to the ground before he detonated his explosive. we will check in with tony schaefer on what his sources are telling him about the global threat level tonight. we begin with trace gallagher who is tracking the breaking news as it comes in over the last five hours. trace?

>> megan, it was attacked on the international terminal. in fact, it appears the suicide bombers arrived at the airport in taxicabs. they say there were three suicide bombers. the first was at the security entrance to the terminal where witnesses say they open had fire and the attacker blew himself up. you can see that happen in an area with a lot of passengers inside and outside the terminal. that's where many of the casualties came from. the second explosion happened a little farther down the international terminal and because we don't have surveillance video it is hard to know exactly how crowded that area was at the time. but the explosions blew out the security gates. it helped one of the bombers get inside the terminal as you said. you can see the man, the third bomber running through the terminal carrying what authorities believe is a a high-powered rifle and it appears that he is trying to shoot people as he runs. we showed you the video and

there it is again. then police chase and shoot him. you can see the attacker fall and lose his weapon. someone tries to go over and possibly subdue him and then realizes that the person may have a bomb and then runs away. seconds later the bomber blows himself up. so far there has been no claim of responsibility, and the turkish government says this has all of the markings of an isis attack and there is good reason to believe that. so far there have been seven bombings in turkey that claimed more than 120 lives. isis and kurdish rebels claimed responsibility for all of them, but only isis has used suicide bombers. two years ago tomorrow isis declared its califat and yesterday the u.s. state department updated their warning to u.s. citizens traveling in turkey. the potential for -- fourth suspect you meitioned megan has not been confirmed. >> trace, thank you. joining us by skype,

outers us -- routers istanbul. you were there in the airport at the time this took place. is that correct? i am in instanbul, but i wasn't at the airport. i spoke with witnesses who were there at the time. >> what did they tell you they saw? did they see the actual attackers? >> initially the first witnesses i spoke to actually arrived at the airport within minutes of the explosions and reported that police had immediately shut down the entrance to the airport and initially had shut down exits from the airport too. so there was quite a traffic jam. people were desperate to leave, and there were reports of people turning their cars around and driving over the pavement to get out, shouting "there's been a bomb. escape." >> what is the scene in instanbul now? they believe that there may be another attacker. we've seen this before. we saw it in brussels in march,

where it is not limited to just the attackers who perform the actual bombing. >> there were concerns about that initially. the prime minister just spoke to reporters from the airport, from the scene, and he said that initial indications, the indications they have at present, show they don't think there's anyone on the loose. three suicide attackers, the three suicide bombers, have been killed now. that's what he said, and they're not really focused on the possibility that there may be more or any on the loose. >> ila, thank you. joining us now with more, lieutenant colonel tony schaffer. >> hello, megyn. >> good to see, you colonel. everyone talking about it tonight believes that this is isis, and this is not the first we've seen from isis. forget in the past couple of months, but in the past couple

of days. they seem to be on a rampage of sorts. your thoughts? >> oh, they're trying to get in everything they can before the 5th of july, the end of the ramadan. and let me be clear on this, megyn, you're completely correct. i think all the profiles so far looks a lot like the belgium attack. more importantly, as stipulated the only other group doing the attacks really does not do suicide bombings. this was an economic target. this is much like the bombing of the russian flight coming out of the gaza. they're trying to ruin the economies of these countries. this is going to be a huge blow to the economy. that's why you saw the attack done -- and now we're running the tape of it, so this is going to have the maximum effect of terrorizing those who had gone to the region. >> do you think this attack went off as planned, that this was the plan to blow up portions of the airport or to actually get onboard an aircraft and detonate some of these vests?

>> i don't think they were trying to get to the aircraft. much like our country, you have huge numbers of people in queues and non-secure areas like we saw in belgium. i think they were doing -- i think this is symbolic by the fact that the israelis and turkish just yesterday signed a sort of a peace accord. i'm not saying -- ththey just cd this together. there were four or five separate recons. this was well thought. i think they were trying to get further in. also one of the things they were trying to do by the fact they were armed, they may have been trying to capture hostages of some sort. i think they were going to actually extend the scope of the attack. let's remember, megyn, isis is learning as they do. as they go forward and do these attacks, they learn how to essentially make it even better one up. i think that's what they were going for here. >> we saw with al qaeda, they wanted the big -- the big attack. you know, they wanted the 9/11 style attack and for lack of a

better term, they wouldn't settle for anything less than this theatrical, powerful, awful. >> right. >> you know, effect. isis seems content with maybe not as big but psychologically very damaging attacks. >> they are much more devoted to actually doing global terror. i mean this is global terror. this is truly global terror. the caliphate has grown. now we see it met as ta sizing all over. it's in libya and iraq and afghanistan, here. and i would argue it's here in the united states. everything i've been told by my sensitive sources, they're building the infrastructure here. it's just a matter of time before we see concerted attacks. so we have not done well, megyn, to understand their strategy. we're using tactics against a strategy that's not going to work. as a matter of fact, i think someone said tactics without strategy is the noise before the fall. so we've got to figure out the fact here is, no, they're not al qaeda. they're not going to go for the catastrophic tack yet.

they may still go for something with chemical or nuclear, but for now they're trying to maximize their tack against economic targets and create the havoc you've seen now. and frankly as you see the alert in new york city, i think new york city is being very kwiez in taking precautions into how they may go after their infrastructure. >> on high alert tonight and travel shut down to instanbul from america as well. great to see you. thank you. >> thank you, ma'am. in what could be a stunning coincidence or something else, we just learned that the state department yesterday updated a travel warning, telling americans about a possible threat from international terror groups in turkey. former cia director james woolsey is next on what might be the story behind that. don't go away. brit hume is also here.

breaking tonight. a homicide bombing at turkey's airport kills at least 36 people and injures almost 150 others. now the faa has canceled all flights to turkey's capital city while airports in new york and new jersey are stepping up security. in a moment, we will talk about the global threat picture with the former cia director james woolsey. first we go to washington, d.c. and katherine her image. >> megyn, tonight all scheduled flights between the u.s. and instanbul while investigators

work out what happened and who was responsible. the faa confirming that a ground stop is in place until further notice. the administration is also deeply engaged tonight with the briefing of the president, the attorney general, and homeland security secretary. these are indicators the situation in instanbul is deeply serious and may have direct implications for security at american airports. a government official said the attacks that the profile of isis, which has stepped up its campaign in turkey going for international targets with an economic impact. a local kurdish group has traditionally focuses on the turkish military. another detail that points to isis is the use of suicide bombers, at least three, in what appears to be a coordinated assault with turkish tv reporting two attackers at the international terminal. another bomber in the parking lot. eyewitnesses describing another explosion inside the terminal. let me draw your attention to this video showing one of the bombers firing inside the terminal. shot in the leg, he falls to the ground. as the guard approaches, he sees

the vest, runs, and then the bomber detonates. the fact that he came in guns blazing suggests to me, based on my experience, that the goal may have been to take hostages first and then use a suicide vest in a standoff. if he had only wanted to blow himself up, he would have walked into the airport, gone to the passenger line, and detonated. with more than 30 dead, isis is one of the few terror groups with a capability to build bombs of that strength. one of the striking similarities between instanbul and the brussels airport attack in march is that both explosions knocked the airport ceiling tiles out, telling us that the impact was strong enough to really have an issue with the terminal's structural integrity. to be clear, there's been no claim of responsibility by any group, isis, al qaeda, or the kurds tonight. but the intelligence community has believed that isis sent trained operatives into europe in advance of ramadan, megyn.

>> catherine, thank you. joining us now, former cia director james woolsey. great to see you, sir, tonight. when you look at this attack, what does it say to you? >> i think things are going to pick up here for the rest of ramadan, which is over i think just after the 4th of july. i think it's quite clear that isis is ranging as one of your previous speakers said all over the world. this is a worldwide terrorist movement now. we may have choked off the expansion of the caliphate in iran and syria. if that turns around -- >> iraq. >> i'm sorry. iraq and syria. if they could turn that around -- if we could turn it around and make sure that continues to shrink, that would be excellent. but we still have the folks in the caves and the apartments and watching television and getting radicalized, and they're going to be, i'm afraid, with us for a long time. >> i mean i know you lived in turkey for six months.

you're very familiar with this airport. how would you describe this particular attack? >> well, this is a very heavily fortified airport. lots of levels of security. and so i guess i'm not too surprised they didn't get past the first level of it. but it's a formidable structure, and the turks, like the israelis, worked very hard in trying to make their system if not invulnerable, at least limited to killing a few people when someone attacks. >> it seems pretty brazen. i mean i guess that's what isis does. but you tell me. >> yes. this is like negotiation from iran. it's not about anything other than showing power. it's not about anything other than having your foot on the face of your adversary. and in order to honor ramadan and to show how strong they are,

an attack of this sort from isis is definitely -- >> that's how they honor their holy month, by killing a bunch of innocent civilians. we've seen so many atrocities. it's hard to really -- you know, anything is possible with this group. the stepping up of security at u.s. airports, good idea? i mean you heard catherine's report that this may have direct implications on security at u.s. airports. >> it probably is. it's probably going to be driven by intercepts of communications and not necessarily breaking any codes or anything like that. just the data that is out there all over the place from companies, from consultants and the rest. on any given day, if they put their minds to it, google knows a lot more about behavior patterns. >> is that right? what we saw in brussels -- and we'll still wait to hear about

instanbul. what we saw in brussels is they got smart and they didn't use cell phones because they understood it would be tracked. they're sort of catching up with us as we catch up with them. >> it's a little bit like electronic war fair. it's one step this way and one step that way. they may have used cell phones less, but perhaps they used throwaway cell phones now, or they're on twitter, or they're on facebook. watching all of that is going to be necessary, unfortunately, in order to get some kind of advance warning of things like these airport attacks. if we did have advance warning, i would imagine it came from something like millions of bits of data of some of these consultancies and the like. >> turkey has got a lot of security, and they watch this very closely. but they, like we, only have so many resources. and you can't watch all of them 24/7. that's what everyone keeps telling us. james woolsey, thank you, sir. >> good to be with you.

so while news outlets have been focused on this turkey incident tore the last few hours, did you know that isis killed nearly 60 people in three attacks over just the last two days? former islamic extremist imagine id knew was and terror expert dr. sebastian gorka are next on what is happening here

breaking tonight, earlier we reported that isis leaders called for more attacks during the holy month of ramadan, which ends in roughly eight days. but just yesterday, isis claimed responsibility for three other attacks, including yemen, where at least 43 people were killed in a string of attacks. then a suicide bomber in jordan killed at least seven more. and in lebanon, four islamic state militants reportedly blew themselves up in a christian-dominated city. five more people died there. and now we have this in turkey. joining me now, former islamic extremist maajid nawaz who now helps fight against terror, and dr. sebastian gorka. good to see you both. let me start with you on this, dr. gorka. what happened over the weekend is isis lost fallujah in iraq, and they've lost ramadi. they've lost other key cities including anbar province.

basically what they hold now in iraq is mosul, and there's a question about whether this explosion in attacks is some mao in retaliation for that or they're getting more desperate as they lose more territory in particular in iraq. >> right, megyn. so since the advent of the modern jihadi movement that really was born in 1979, there's always been two target sets. there have been the near enemy. so that's the middle eastern targets, the people who are apostate leaders that they wanted to kill and establish their caliphate in that territory. then there was the far enemy, the infidel, us. whether it's targets in western europe. whether it's targets in the united states. so here we have a very interesting challenge. this is the first ever jihadi group, ever in 90 years, to establish success for the caliphate, a theocratic empire. this is what they did two years ago in mosul. at the moment, they seem to be

losing. they've still gotta crete. they've city got mosul, which is a very important city in iraq. but there have been inroads made against them. now it is very plausible in some kind of placement distraction to their losses against the enemy in the middle east, they're taking the fight to the infidel. they're taking the fight to us. whether it's in orlando, san bernardino, or now in instanbul. >> maajid, what is your understanding of their thinking. as they lose territory, would they expand their attacks, or do you believe they'd be expanding in this way and going after these different targets irrespective of what has happening in iraq? >> no. i think the two are linked. i would also add that there's a broader geopolitical aim. isis knows full well that it can sow the seeds of chaos through such attacks in the west and in turkey. so let's take this attack today

in turkey where up to 50 could be dead. now, that will have reverberations not just obviously inside turkey and for those tragically who have lost their lives and generally for the turkish people. but also across europe. just imagine how that's going to play out. with all the seismic shifts that are currently going on in europe, with the rise of nationalistic sentiment and people fearing being part of broader coalitions and unions and blocs, people will end up retreating back into their own identities and not wanting anything to do with those they have defined as the other. that could potentially lead to a further breakup of the european union. isis is fully cognizant of that fact. it's something that they would indeed aspire to. and so really the reverberations of this, the shock waves of this will be felt across the continent of europe, and that has political consequences for the stability of europe as well.

>> dr. gorka, obviously we always worry a bit about terror. but given what they're saying about ramadan and we've got, what, until i think july 6th to go until that ends? how concerned should people here be? >> very. very concerned. maajid is absolutely correct. this will have broad political ramifications or ramifications for national security. megyn, it should not have surprised anyone. absolutely nobody should be surprises. a year ago, in june 2015, there was a publication of a turkish language isis magazine where they talked about the conquest of constant nopele, the need to recapture of the home of the ottoman empire, to cleanse it of false muslims. we know they talked about attacks during ramadan. most specifically of all, and this is why orlando shouldn't have surprised anybody. they have been explicit in their publications. in english, we are going to take the fight to the jihadis, where

there are high concentrations of unarmed civilians. that is right here on u.s. soil. and, remember, omar mateen is the 103rd isis individual intercepted or killed or arrested on u.s. soil in the last two years. 103rd, megyn. >> that brings it home. gentlemen, thank you both so much. well, so far we have not heard directly from president obama on the events in turkey, and the white house says she should not expect to tonight. brit hume is next on how the administration, which skipped the hearing on capitol hill looking into terror today, is handling this. plus we had booked billionaire mark cuban to talk about the economy and the election. and now this. mark is next to talk about a crazy political race in an increasingly uncertain world.

sfx: loud poorly played electric guitar that sounds awful but a lot better than last week ♪rock guitar music ♪we weren't born to follow back now to our breaking news from turkey where a terror attack has struck at the heart of a close u.s. ally.

three suicide bombers killing at least three dozen at one of europe's busiest and most fortified airports. the white house saying we should not expect the president to address this attack at all. in turkey, their prime minister is making an appeal for world solidarity, reportedly calling for this tragedy to mark the -- >> so president obama will not address this and if and when he does address it tomorrow, your thoughts on whether we should express any change in tone or message? >> well, first of all, i think it's understandable he wouldn't say anything about it tonight other than the statement the white house put out earlier. while this has the earmarks of an isis attack, we don't know if this is an isis attack, which would obviously feed into anything he might want to have to say about this. as for what he's likely to say, obviously we've got no way of knowing except that nothing seems to have shaken his

determination to pursue this rather gradual policy of trying to deal with isis. he has treated it for the longest time now as a regional threat that he has several times insisted really posed no threat to the united states in any major way, or he said it has been contained. he said it was the j.v. of terrorism and so on, and he's been proven wrong time and time again. and it is obviously a strike against his administration and his potential successor that he's been wrong so many times. and we have been attacked now several times by isis on our soil. >> it's not just of course -- the united states, we've seen orlando, we've seen san bernardino and so on. but who is leading this fight? just in the last couple of days we've seen isis attacks. in yemen, in lebanon, jordan. now instanbul. it was in brussels, in orlando. who is leading? >> well, there is said to be a coalition of nations which is

combining to try to take isis out. the problem, of course, is that it doesn't look like the kind of massive effort that might be undertaken to go into isis strongholds, particularly in syria, and simply crush isis. that's not happening. and the leadership that the president has provided has been for this rather gradual approach. and so i suppose -- >> the american people don't have the stomach for it, right, because politically he knows that the american people remain war weary and they don't want to get involved in another, quote, quagmire. >> that's right, megyn. that has been sort of the conventional wisdom about this all along. the american public is perennially, perpetually war wary. indeed, there have been a number of armed conflicts in recent years. some that have gone better than others. but that's where presidential leadership has traditionally come into play. it is the job of a president to weave the circumstances confronting the security threats, confronting a nation,

into an argument that says, ladies and gentlemen of america, we need to be the leaders here. we need to do this because if we don't do it, it won't get done. that is the history of the 20th century is american involvement in foreign conflicts in which the public was reluctant and with good reason, and as we look back on them now, we realize that things would not have turned out well for our friends overseas or for us had we not gotten involved. that is the perpetual thing that faces every president, is the need to lead. and i think this president has had the view that when we try to lead, especially when it involves military force, that things tend to go rather badly and make things worse. and i think he has operated on that theory for the entirety of his presidency. and i think that's -- i think that's where we are, and i think that is likely to govern his policies going forward. >> brit, great to see you. >> thanks, megyn. well, the presumptive nominees from both parties took the opportunity tonight to remind americans where they stand on islamic terrorism.

each reacting to the instanbul attacks with strong words for the terrorists. donald trump says america needs to take action and fast. >> we had another suicide bombing, instanbul, turkey. many, many people killed. many, many people injured. folks, there's something going on that's really, really bad. all right? it's bad, and we better get smart, and we better get tough or we're not going to have much of a country left. okay? it's bad. >> the clinton campaign sent out a statement stressing america's strengths, writing in part, today's attack in instanbul only strengthens our resolve to defeat the forces of terrorism and radical jihadism around the world and it reminds us that the united states cannot retreat. our next guess is a successful billionaire, who was here to talk about trump and clinton on the economy. but once again, terror has pushed those subjects to the back burner. joining us now, billionaire mark cuban, a successful entrepreneur

for the past 30 years, owner of the nba's dallas mavericks and host of the popular reality show, shark tank. sorry to have to talk about such a dark subject yet again. every -- every week, it seems on "the kelly file" we're talking about more innocents murdered by these savages. and, tonight, you hear from trump, and you hear from hillary. nothing of substance. we'll hear from our president tomorrow. probably not a change in any policy. i mean as somebody who has led a team to success, a company to success, do you have any thoughts on it? do you have any thoughts on what we should be doing? >> well, first prayers to everybody who was affected, those who lost their lives and their families. it's horrific. as long as there are people who don't care about life, whether it's their own or others'. we're going to face this problem for now until eternity. i don't know that there's an actual solution. as it applies to leadership, you can't just say this is bad, bad, very bad, and we need to get

tough. you know, at some point both sides have got to dig in and start at least trying to come up with solutions. now, i don't think it's a solvable problem, but you can take steps in the right direction. and we're not seeing that from either side yet. >> you describe yourself as an independent, perhaps leaning libertarian. you know, we saw in the last -- in the primary season on the gop side, for example, rand paul, his libertarian leanings made him a little bit more non-interventionalist. is that how you see the world? do you believe the united states has a role to lead in this battle against isis? >> absolutely. i think we have a role on multiple fronts. we have to support our allies. you're not going to end terrorism. it's never going to happen. but we can at least try to stabilize different parts of the world. look, i'm far from an expert. but what i do know is that, you know, people look to america. they look to us for solutions. i'm a big believer in american exceptionalism. we've been able to find

solutions where others haven't. i think, you know, the world is evolving. you know, from a technology perspective, whether it's automation, robotics, whatever it may be, we're going to have to start looking in that direction to at least support our efforts against terrorism. i don't think we're doing a good enough job there. >> what do you think of these two candidates? you've had criticism for both of them. you're not a party or an ideological guy. how do you see these two folks right now? >> they both have challenges without question. i mean right now i give the nod to hillary, whether you like it or not. i mean she's been demonized, and she seems to fight through it. but at least, you know, on a simple basis, if you go to her website, there's a few ideas i can get behind. i went to donald's website in preparation for this and, you know, there's some high-level topics that he covers, but he really doesn't go into many different issues. and i think that's a challenge for him. and, you know, look, one of the reasons i like your show, megyn, is your very analytical. when a problem presents itself, you'll dig in and try to get to

the heart of the matter. we're not seeing that from donald in particular. i mean he has to start demonstrating that he has analytical skills because there's so much at stake, not just from an economic perspective but from a global leadership perspective. and we can't just isolate ourselves. you know, voting for no is never a solution for much of anything, and we've seen that with brexit. they didn't have a solution. they just decided to vote for no. and now there's chaos. maybe not chaos but confusion and uncertainty. and confusion and uncertainty is always bad for business and always bad for markets. >> mark cuban, i like your show too. >> thank you. >> i like it a lot actually. i have a bunch of ideas for it. i hope i get to come on one day and present them. >> bring them on, megyn. we're ready for you. >> oh, good. i'll see you there. thank you so much for being here tonight. >> done. thank you so much for having me, megyn. >> you got to laugh where you can. well, before these dark events in turkey, the big story was the release of the republican report on benghazi

and the terror attack there. the failure by the military and the political worries from the white house as this attack unfolded. mark osgeist, a hero, credited with saving dozens of lives in libya that night

breaking tonight, an eye opening new report on benghazi is revealing details we've never heard before and suggesting the white house failures both before and after these attacks may be even worse than we knew. a new benghazi committee report suggests that as this attack was unfolding, the white house was convening a meeting with secretary hillary clinton and other officials, though the president was notably absent. and while this was ostensibly to discuss a rescue, we are now learning that the bigger focus became the internet video which was repeatedly and incorrectly blamed for this attack. at the time of that meeting, sean smith was dead, ambassador chris stevens was missing. but glen doherty and tyrone woods were still alive. joining us in moments, mark "oz" geist, a security contractor for the cia at the time, who is credited with saving dozens of lives in libya that night and was fighting with those two gentlemen, who would later be killed. but first we go to chief intelligence correspondent

catherine herridge with more. >> reporter: megyn, at that white house meeting there was also concern the libyans would find the rescue teams military uniforms insulting with one commander telling investigators he and his marines changed in and out of their uniforms at least four times that night, never leaving for benghazi. the father of navy s.e.a.l. ty woods spoke exclusively with fox news about the report's findings. >> well, i don't think that that's really even an issue. with hillary, she took credit for invading libya. was she worried about the opinion of libyans when we killed how many of them, when we destroyed their infrastructure, when we bombed them, when we went in without permission from the host country? no, she wasn't afraid of that. >> discussion of the obscure anti-islam video the white house would wrongly tie to the terrorist attack also dominated the white house meeting, taking up five of the ten action items

afterward. and while the administration apparently fretted about the libyans, no one was on the move. >> could have reached benghazi because nothing was ever headed to benghazi. no u.s. military asset was ever deployed to benghazi despite the order of thery of defense at 7:00 that night. >> and the pressure that night in september 2012 was on then secretary of state clinton, who wanted the benghazi outpost to be permanent with an announcement one month before the november 2012 election. >> now they got a terrorist attack, and they have to mislead the american people because it's 56 days before an election. their legacy is on the line, and she has the goddess of history looking over her shoulder. so they mislead the american people. >> the report found the video explanation for the 2012 terrorist attack was crafted in washington by political

appointees and did not reflect the real-time intelligence. it was on your show, megyn, four years ago we first reported there was no protest in benghazi and no link to the video. so thanks for standing by that ongoing reporting. >> and you got real push-back for that because you were out on a limb. >> i did at the time. >> and stood alone, and said you had it right. and now as it comes out in this report, people look and say, oh, we knew that all along. meanwhile it was like catherine was the one reporting it with everyone pushing back on her saying she was wrong. now they want to pretend like this is old news. krathd r catherine, great job and thank you. as some were debating what kind of clothing our rescue teams should be wearing if we would bother deploying them, the folks who were actually under attack, like mark "oz" geist, were left debating things like whether they were ever going to see their families or use their arms again. as we saw in the incredible film "13 hours," which depicted this benghazi attack from the perspective of oz and the other heroes who saved lives that day

and, in some cases, gave their own lives, clothing was the last thing on the minds of those that were able to go home. ♪ >> i walked into this country. i'm walking out. >> thank you. >> i don't know how you survived

all that. >> mark "oz" geist was a member of the cia's benghazi an next security teem that night. he's now with shadow warrior project.org which helps when they come back from the fight overseas and are too often for goat forgotten. that actor, he's portraying you when he gets out of that truck. in reality, your arm was hanging. it was hanging off of you, and you walked to that airplane naked and bloody, saying, i walked into this country on my own, and i will walk out. and now we know no one was sent to help you. there's a reason no help ever arrived. none was sent despite the fact that there was a fast, this marine anti-terrorism team, sitting at a spanish air base for three hours, changing their clothes four times while the
