he said i was the main justice lead prosecutor for benghazi. asked by mother jones magazine about kash patel's claims to have led the benghazi prosecutions efforts in d.c, a former fbi special agent who was on that investigation for years responded, quote, quote, oh my god, comma, no. oh my god, no. despite that, because sure, why not? a trump transition spokesman recently insisted that kash patel was in fact assigned as the lead benghazi prosecutor. because that's their line and they're sticking to it. here's another one, a longtime trump adviser tells the atlantic magazine that, quote, he had been in patel's presence more than once when patel claimed he was the person who, quote, gave the order for u.s. forces to move in and kill the isis leader abu bakr al-baghdadi in 2019. this despite the fact that the baghdadi killing was, quote, an operation for which patel, by his own admission, wasn't even in the situation room. asked about this, patel said through his spokesperson, trump made that brave and courageous call. yes, but what about the rep

on the benghazi case. >> i had. >> been the criminal chief in d.c. when we got that case.apture operation in libya that captured abu khattal. cash was was made the sort. >> of nsc one of the nsc. >> terrorism prosecutors to coordinate with. >> the u.s. >> attorney's office. after that capture operation, after indictments and so on and so forth. so he. >> was not on that. >> very long. >> as. >> there's other reporting. >> to. >> say, because he let's just. say he and the prosecutors who'd been working on this case for a very. >> long time. >> it just was not a. a good working relationship. sometimes that happens. at the time, i don't think i necessarily thought that much of it, but now it seems oddly prescient. >> in terms of. >> kind of adjusting one's personality to maybe get along where you need to and not. >> get along in other places. >> and so i. want to believe that the kash patel answering some of the questions. >> on the senate. >> questionnaire, including downgrading his. from what he reported. >> in his. >> book, that he was leading the benghazi case, downgradin

he's still got 9/11 and benghazi on his dvr. i mean, you were a senator on jan 6.do you mean you didn't see the insurrection? you lived it. this is like a titanic survivor saying, "i haven't seen the movie. don't tell me what happens." so to sum up day one of trump's presidency: "church is bad, beating cops is good." so i guess he's a democrat now. [audience reacts] for more on the republican reaction, we turn to troy iwata. [cheers and applause] troy, troy. all these republicans are pretending they haven't seen footage of january 6th. i mean, shouldn't they be embarrassed? >> ronny, i know sad and ignorant people like yourself would think republicans are being cowardly, but they actually have medical conditions that literally make it impossible for them to see the january 6th footage. and unlike you, i am not an ableist [bleep]. >> ronny: what do you mean, ableist? ron johnson just said he didn't see the details. >> he can't see the details, ronny. ron johnson has a rare disease. you know face-blindness? he has that, but specifically for insurrections. when he see

hillary clinton, the eyebrows raised over the e-mail server and benghazi, and ralph lauren, lionel messige soros, elon musk says it's a travesty that he's getting it, that soros fundamentally hates humanity. there's an eruption online over this pick. and around washington and isis inspired attack in new orleans, here was president biden earlier followed the incoming majority senator leader thune. >> relentlessly purse isis and terrorists organizations where they are and they will find no safe harbor here. >> it's important to we get president trump's nominees into place. when you've got individuals inspired by isis in this country to do these type of things we've got to figure this out to prevent this from happening in the future. >> when president biden spoke to the graduates of howard university in 2023, he said white supremacy was the greatest terrorist threat to the u.s. asked jean-pierre in the press room whether that's the threat, she ignored me. and when asked again, he did not answer. the president biden and the first lady are off to new orleans on monday to pay respects to the f

hillary clinton's private e-mail server as well as her handling over the war many libya and the benghazi affair after four americans were killed including the u.s. ambassador to libya. as for if soros, elon musk called this award a travesty and said that soros fundamentally hates humanity, eroding the fabric of civilization, getting district attorneys elected who pail -- failed to prosecute crime. there's also been outrage over biden's handling of the isis-inspired attack in new orleans. i asked karine jean-pierre in the briefing yesterday if the president still feels white supremacy is the -- >> [inaudible] >> thank you, everybody. >> -- the greatest terrorist threat to the united states? >> reporter: i asked the same question of president biden on thursday when he arrived back at the white house. he also didn't answer that question. so we are minutes away to president biden awarding 19 people the presidential medal of freedom. we'll see if the president speaks about the rampage in new orleans and any other news that might come out of the event, but certainly a star-studded event at the

people another bad person who got it, hillary clinton, i mean, just think about just what happened at benghaziot to mention the fact in haiti and all of the crazy stuff that the clinton foundation did down there. all of the destruction and the terrible policies of hillary clinton, yet here she is receiving the medal of freedom award. i would say destroying freedom gets you the freedom award i guess. >> it can be inspirational to know that one day they too can set up a illegal e-mail server lie about it constantly get an award like that and standing ovation. >> among the wonderful deserving people michael j. fox you mentioned denzel washington. you know, david rubenstein who has given tens of millions of dollars to restoring some of the facilities in d.c. like the washington monument. >> totally worthy. why did lionel get it? >> but this is -- didn't show up. but this is that was hilarious but the idea that you would give the award to those people such deserving people. and then you would immediately cheapen the value of the reward by giving it to these people who don't deserve it. and then oh,

led the state department when a 2012 terrorist attack in benghazi libya killed four american.far left america mega donor george soros behind raising the money to help elect dozens of soft on crime district attorneys and judges. the picture seems appropriate. alexander soros accepted the award on his father's behalf. his dad is 94. nikki haley posted giving george soros the medal of freedom is another slap in the face of america after reducing the sentences of murderers and pardoning his son. 16 days is a long time until the inauguration. what is he capable of sliding in next? january 20th can't come soon enough. she wrote that over the weekend. we're 13 days away now. byron donalds. >> this is just crazy in my view. first of all, george soros is on the absolute left of our politics. everybody knows this. this is his staff and frankly in part his family that are managing all this stuff from behind the scenes. the democrats want to use their last moments to reward their leftists makes no sense at all. we'll make america great and be focused on the american people. >> harris: loo

how about benghazi? how about the four americans, including the ambassador, that were murdered? how about her private server where she had classified documents in her custody, control and possession? how about the summary given by james comey regarding her reck less conduct? i didn't hear that this. and you often the medal which is the highest award given to a civilian? she called half of the country deplorables. just recently she called us a cult if you sport donald trump. that's the -- support support donald trump. that's the standard, guy, for a person to receive the highest civilian award? they have devalued it, they have made it worthless, and if joe biden is the last person given his track record for the last four years to give out this award and stand there representing the best expect brightest of america. guy: you mentioned that classified material on her e-mail server notorious toly, she lied about it incessantly. the guy who put the medal around her neck had classified material in his garage. so the blind leading the blind. lionel messi, one of the best soccer player

he has claimed to have led the prosecution team in the benghazi case, which he definitely didn't do. he is said to have pretended in the white house that he had a job on the national security council, that he definitely didn't have. he worked for years for a media company that is now facing a big federal indictment as an illegal money laundering operation, although he himself has not been charged in that matter. kash patel would like to sell you potions that he says will reverse the covid vaccination. that's not a thing. but he says he'll sell you a potion that will do it. kash patel has been a vocal, has been vocally in support of the qanon conspiracy theory, which says democrats are part of a satanic satanic cabal that eats children. he is donald trump's choice to lead the fbi. his confirmation hearing is tomorrow, and if there is a nominee who is in competition with kash patel and tulsi gabbard for most embarrassing choice possible for an important government job, most comically, comically, inappropriately chosen for the job for which they've been named. if there's anybody in comp

government said that the, the, that what happened in benghazi was due to a video. do you remember when that was in government, when that happened? >> always a choice to say, we don't know. >> yes. and i was i was spokesperson twice in the u.s. government. i have been on the other side of being pummeled by the media to say, like, this is breaking. what do you know? and the answer is always, this is developing. we are aware we're going to figure it out and we're going to keep you updated. but it is you see it happen all the time. when agencies get too tempted to want to appear on top of things, and then you end up having a first story that's wrong. but that's never acceptable in any crisis. >> all right? they have to roll real quick, scott. they have to assess what is the priority. what is the most significant threat here that we need to address there. and for like you said, coming out for 24 hours, people thinking that there are multiple coconspirators out there is something that should have been not thrown out there without some further thought. >> all right everyo

just really quickly, if you benghazi stoves then -- if you ban gas stoves gas consumption in the u.s. goes up. it is really efficient to bring the gas it a house and you light it up and the network is there. but if you don't let the guy have the gas stove you have to generate the electricity 100 miles from his house appear send in wires where they lose a lot of electricity language the way. so this is -- the reason i love this we are fighting an opponent that doesn't care about what the truth is. they just care about like the posture that they are able to make when they say they are for this or that. it has been fun to watch us expose things like that. the big things and little things. the little things for me have been more entertaining. dominic:it is great illustration of the mindset when can't trust people to make decisions for themselves. we know what is best and we will impose it. i think that it is so contrary to our spirit as a country and things we have done. until this in our history we are unusual in western democracies we do not have a explicitly named social ill party. cer

you know, he's still got nine over 11 in benghazi on his dvr.s is like a titanic survivor saying, i haven't seen the movie. don't tell me what happens. >> well. >> it was. >> that. certainly. that certainly was true. for it certainly was true for a lot of republicans. there were also some who spoke out. lisa murkowski. >> absolutely. >> very, very tough and harsh about it early on. thom tillis, thom tillis also very clear. i will say i could be mistaken and if i am mistaken, let me know. i think ron johnson, that ron johnson, they're sort of brushing it aside, but i thought i had heard ron johnson also saying yesterday and i could be wrong that that he disagreed with those that committed acts of violence from being put off. but there were 5 or 6, jonathan lemire, i think five, six, seven republicans who openly came out and said they certainly would not have pardoned those that beat the hell out of cops. you would hope that would be 53 republicans and every every democrat, especially since most of them were there and feared for their lives. and y
