her son was killed during the benghazi terror attacks.illary clinton's fake story about benghazi is just as bad if not worse. >> every time i see this on tv i see the bloody fingerprints crawling down the wall from that benghazi place, i keep asking everybody, do those belong to my son? nobody has told me anything. one person says, no, it is not them. it is not him. but this is the kind of answers i get. so i liked when my doctor told me i may reach my blood sugar and a1c goals by activating what's within me... with once-weekly trulicity. trulicity is not insulin. it helps activate my body to do what it's supposed to do... release its own insulin. trulicity responds when my blood sugar rises. i take it once a week, and it works 24/7. it comes in an easy-to-use pen and i may even lose a little weight. trulicity is a once-weekly injectable prescription medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. trulicity is not insulin. it should not be the first medicine to treat diabetes or for people

the obama administration that had lied to the american people, and pushed propaganda surrounding benghazi. >> let's not get too far away from this topic. we'll get to whether the russians hacked and whether or not the russians influenced the election, but president obama says he will take action, what type of action do you think he will take? >> it's a little late in the game to take action. there's no disagreement that the russians hacked and their intelligence community, the only disagreement appears to be what the hack was, whether it was to help donald trump or just to have people lose faith in our political institutions. all intelligence agencies agree. >> what is president obama intending to do? what could he do? what should he do? and why would he do anything right now? >> i don't know what he intends do do. here's the options, i would immediately impose sanctions, on pugh tti putin's inner circle. they do a lot of banking in the west, it would make it impossible for them to travel to the west. >> first of all what we need is a bipart san investigation in congress. obviously presid

but other officials at the cia, they did alter officially the talking points for benghazi.y bought into a narrative. they never talked to the guys on the ground in benghazi, and they did alter the talking points and buy into the false narrative that it was spontaneous as if people had rpgs and mortars in their back pocket and decided upon tainously to pull them out. >> i can't emphasize enough how shocked i was to hear the cia was writing talking points for members of congress on this issue to begin with. one thing to supply the information. intelligence is not a block of granite. there are facts and then there's analysis, which is open to interpretation by anybody involved in it. my concern here is that when you have this kind of controversial subject, the risk of positi politization is high. let's be clear, whether it was russia or china or whoever it was who hacked into the dnc, it followed years of hacking into the government, private sector with no response effectively by the united states. they thought they could get away with it. >> in other words this is selective m

we had the benghazi video that was the cause of all the eruption in benghazi and that proved to be false get to the bottom of what the intelligence is. i think the intelligence community has in the past gone out and laid out the case for what's going on and who's behind certain activities. it's incumbent upon them for something as serious as this to do the same. >> you're demanding it be public? because, i mean, obviously sources be s and methods for intelligence are one of the reasons -- >> correct, understood, jake, but they've done nothing -- in october, they had no problem coming out and issuing a statement about what their beliefs were vis-a-vis russia. right now if they believe so strongly that they want the united states to act, i think to some degree without necessarily receiving all the sources and methods, that there is a degree of public on the record statement that the intelligence community should make. >> i guess i don't understand why it needs to be public. president-elect trump gets these intelligence briefings presumably he's being told why the intelligence community fee

the republicans spent all these years going after hillary clinton on benghazi. of course, democrats aren't in control. they can't call these hearings. but maybe they're going to try to politicize this issue of whether donald trump is there with the aid and assistance of the russians. >> well, you know, we have to keep two things separate. and whether it determined anything. it's quite possible they interfered and did not determine the outcome. i think that's the likely scenario. but don't forget there's a couple republicans, john mccain anne lindsay graham, admittedly no great friends of donald trump, but they're taking this issue seriously and talking about it. it's a good opportunity for donald trump, who doesn't seem to want to take it right now, to go to a higher ground and support an objective investigation if congress wants to have one. >> panel, we have to take a break here. when exclusive interview with the president-elect, and mr. trump takes us back to the ups and downs of election nights a "fox news sunday's" "the trump way" continues. i'm just a guy

. >> take benghazi. can you imagine in benghazi happened on the watch of a trump?o you think the mainstream media would be willing to dismiss it? >> that was an excuse to put our first amendment values on the table. we had them questioning the first amendment, whether you should be tree to say what wu want about a religion. videos going out saying we don't disparage other religions. >> we do all of the time. >> you make it a point of pride that you're able to do that. and there wasn't a hand wringing about the dangerous freedom of spooch. when you hear that trump was a danger to free speech, where are with you for the last eight years. >> some of this is valid, but there's an element of where you stand is where you sit. is that the cliche? you have a certain outlook, you're not hard enough on trump, you're not hard enough on hillary. the same standards have to apply all of the time. in terms of president obama, he was a threat at times. >> we'll get to him in a minute. >> but one thing is that you had mr. trump who had a blacklist against reporters. >> may i submit

they are trying to make this not the benghazi inquisition. they want to make this a serious investigation of what is happening. you'll note, neither of them, either mitch mcconnell or john mccain, went so far as to say this is the outcome of the election. they want to stay away from that but say, listen, it did happen, what was the purpose? what can we move forward and learn from that? >> i haven't heard democrats say that this is about the outcome of the election. i heard a lot of people saying they want to see an investigation into what russia did and see some of the intelligence that the cia and others have produced to make it public. that's what i've heard from people. motorcycle said he would like hearings. it will be interesting to hear what happens there. rex tillerson, the likely pick of secretary of state, that could be an area where many of these issues come up because of his known ties to vladimir putin in russia. is this a confirmation battle, do you think? >> i think it's going to be one of the biggest battles you could see donal

secretary, the president saying that the reason hillary clinton lost wasn't because she blew it in benghazi or with russia or blew it as secretary of state and ignored the entire midwest and people didn't like the product. that is why hillary clinton lost. >> you think josh earnest was speaking for the president there and this was kind of a good-cop, bad-cop deal and he was saying what the president really thinks what the president was acting above the fray. >> i would like to think he was going rogue at that moment and that it wouldn't be so coordinated among our current president and someone that we're working pretty well with, to tell you the truth, between him and denis mcdonough, there have been -- they are great to work with and things are going very smoothly. >> but you don't believe that. you don't believe that two days in a row the white house press secretary went rogue. >> that is what i would like to think. but it doesn't matter to us. we're moving forward with a cabinet that you've seen at lightning pace with great americans that are more than qualified for these positions and a

goodman: benghazi? sen. mcconnell: we did not. the house did. i think our intelligence , are fully capable of handling this. mr. goodman: your hesitation to form or ok a special committee on cyber activity, does it lessen your concern about what russia allegedly or now might have proof of doing? sen. mcconnell: no, it is very concerning, very concerning. i am plenty concerned about it and upset about it and we will get to the bottom of it. mr. goodman: how do you do that? and getting to the bottom of it would result in what? sen. mcconnell: we have in place and intelligence committee -- in place and intelligence committee that is fully staffed and capable of dealing with these things. we want to know exactly what happened. there is nobody yet to suggest that they actually changed the outcome of the election. but it needs to be looked at. it is not news that the russians are messing around with other people's elections. they do it in europe all the time. they want to discredit democracy to the major extent possible. if they were trying to elect d

. >> congress did something similar with the benghazi committee as well.ou trying to create a vehicle where in this upcoming administration democrats will have an ability to investigate things even beyond the russian influence? >> i want the opposite of the benghazi committee. that was a politically charged committee. what i would like is people who are not in congress to look at that and that's why i've worked with republicans and have sought out republicans to make this happen because the democratic party may have been the victim this election, but if history has its way, the next victim might be different but what should always be the same is both democrats and republicans say we will not tolerate foreign interference in our democracy. >> so how much support do you have for this? i know senator lindsey graham has said that he'd like an investigation but do you have house members, republicans, willing to join you democrats? >> we're talking to them, and we wanted to introduce before we recessed this week a legal framework to go forward, to say that we're
