the unexpected response of gaddafi's underground militia. have been an even greater loss of life that night. i believe the government failed the people and lied to the public in the aftermath. god willing, it will prevent this from ever happening again. >> i want to thank martha again. this has been an incredible task to take. we have worked day in and day out. i have been focused on issues prior to the attack. the things that we learned from benghazi, there were many new things that we learned.

was part of the leadership team that tried to, not tried to, did topple gaddafi and put in place those opposed to him. all that being said andrea, i think a lot of people will dig into the report and we've had this back and forth over what was really known at the time, what is known afterwards. it kind of comes down to what we've often seen in washington is that there's a bureaucratic mess due to a lack of response from the top and the way the information is trickled down, there's a lot of, there's a lot of back and forth about couldn't this have been done differently. what was the main issue? and this case the republicans say that the obama administration was so concerned with making libya out to be the crowned jewel of the arab spring that they looked past serious security issues there and did not do a good enough job of securing ambassador steven's site and as well as being involved with the government on the ground there. all that being said, the main purpose of a lot of reporting about this oifr the last few years has been what damage would this do to hillary clinton today? there

i cannot speak to whether they were gaddafi supporters. >> how do you organize that? mr. toner: i don't have any more details about how we reached out to them and got them to provide us with the escort. >> i know in response the state department said foreign officer hicks had spoken to this at the 2013 oversight committee hearing, but it seems like the details in this report showing that secretary clinton was going to arrive in benghazi in october of that year, one month after stephen's visit, was new. is that something that was occurring, and you have any response to the suggestion that it was a desire to create deliverable for visit that led to stephen's been down there at that time? mr. toner: it is a fair question. first of all, the fact that she was planning a trip to libya is not new information, as you note. it was raised, i think, previously, by greg hicks, the in tripoli at the time in to the government oversight and government reform committee. the question, and it gets these well,ad's question as whether benghazi was some sort of deliverables were desired outco

they felt that gaddafi had been overthrown and without american boots in the ground and all of the sud den the first ambassador killed in the line of duty in 30 years. it seems that the administration bears responsibility for what happened there. >> well, certainly folks in the pentagon and folks in the state department and administration will say we take the oath of office, we understand we have a deep responsibility. for your son, my nephew and all of the men and women who serve be in uniform or diplopacy. and we take it seriously. this investigation trying to pin the fault on secretary clinton didn't succeed. we learned a bit more information but not much more than what we had in previous investigation. let's get to work to protect the personnel. how about making sure americans here in america don't have to worry about a crazy or terrorist picks up a weapon in a gun shot and kill 49 people as we saw in orlando. we had a chance to take a vote on gun shaft measures and the republicans refused to let us vote. they are willing to do partisan hearings. but not give a vote to keep guns ou

>> donald trump said he made a lot of money in a deal with former libyan dictator gaddafi. he also faced questions about the comment over the judge presiding over the trump university lawsuit. here is the latest on the latest comments, hi, carl. >> reporter: hi, eric. it is it a remarkable week and half and stems from the remarks about the judge involved in the civil suit. he is a federal u.s. district judge and judge said he was treated unfairly. and because the judge in trump's words a mexican, he's biassed and while trump tries to navigate the choppy waters of that language and criticism that suggest from democrats and republicans, it is not just inappropriate but viewed as racist. there is a tremendous back lash not only worried about that comment but the tone and tenor of all of trump's rhetoric. >> newt gingrich. and jeff flack said these times of things can't go forward. and mitch mccon canle and paul ryan. and mr. ryan gave donald trump the endorsement and had to distance his himself from trump's remarks. the judge was born p in indiana. if it is a hispanic. what if

she thought it would be better if we knocked off gaddafi. what has she been right about? we need more of this kind of experience? >> clinton's foreign policy will not hurt voters helping trump's chances of winning. >>> well, a peaceful protest turning bloody yesterday. they are attacking a white supremacist group as they held a rally. >> this is such a horrible story. >> several people were taken to the hospital. at least two with critical stab wounds. it started outside of california state capital outside of sacramen sacramento. >> the fighting broke out almost immediately when 30 members of the white nationalist group were met by 40 protestors. the they claim they had permits to conduct a new rally there. they gathered to disrupt the rally. both sides are blaming each other for the violence. >> they attacked them for the weapons kill the nazis and fascists they were coming to a fist fight. they were yelling they were going to sell their members. they stabbed one of our members. >> they are dangerous and they need to stop. >> as the fighting intensified the state capital

air strikes that led to the overthrow of the leader muammar gaddafi.mind surgical, you do a surgical shot and you take him out. but i wasn't for what happened. look at benghazi and with all the problems that you had. it was handled horribly. it was never for a strong intervention. i could have seen surgical, where you take out gadhafi and his group. >> listen to what he said last february at the cnn republican presidential debate. >> we would be so much better off if gadhafi were in charge right now. >> let's get a better sense of how the u.s. military views donald trump's apparently shifting positions. let's bring in professor mete p mansour. also joining us, retired army general mark hurtling. peter, do you have an overarching vision of donald trump's opinions on national security, fp, whoreign policy, do you see? >> they are all over the map, wolf. he has no consistency on his policies. it's going to be very confusing to u.s. allies if he were presidents of united states because what he says today, he contradicts tomorrow. on lib yarks he said we'd

states and the internation community to put forth a comprehensive strategy following the falloff gaddafi2011 has contributed to the current crisis and isis's ability to expand in libya is a troubling warning about the price of the ministration's reaction to directing this enemy. until this changes, i fear libya will continue to deteriorate. compounding the rising terror threat, africa remains plagued by weak governance that divide large displacements of people into stability. while the threat in africa continues to metastasize, our military commanders are being forced to do more with less and denied timely and flexibilile authorities and halt the advance of extremism and other drivers of instability. general, i look forward to your thoughts today on how you intend to approach both the enormous challenges and opportunities within the africa area of responsibility. the role of the chief of the national guard bureau has evolved over the last 10 years. it now sits on the joint chiefs of staff, serves an advisor to the president on policy and security matters, and manages a are relationship w

muammar gaddafi has about to slaughter thousands and thousands of his own citizens. we were asked by our nato allies, asked by the arab league to intervene, she recommended that intervention and it's -- you know, we still have to work at it, but it was the right decision at the time. >> john, we are not going to litigate each one of these in this brief interview, but whether it was voting to go into iraq, whether it was agreeing with obama to pull all of our troops out of iraq, w was the intervention in libya which has led to a failed state and the expansion of isis there, whether it's benghazi or the reset in russia, i mean, i'm not saying that you don't have answers to all of those, but there's going to be plenty for him to criticize on her record, too. >> well, i think, you know, what he likes to do is demean and name call, but, as i said, if we get into a serious debate about who has the values, the experience, the temperament to be commander in chief, that is a debate i'm sure we're going to win. and i think, again, if you look at the things he says, they are in

i think her willingness to kind of push president obama to over throw gaddafi and lead to the kind ofg now in libya, not inconsistent with her other views in syria where she wants a no fly zone. >> reporter: so sanders makes the argument that he's brought nor vo more voters into the process, more young voters. that's really the center of his campaign. don't expect him to get out of the race. >>> memories from a journalist, how one reporter's life was shaped by muhammad ali and stories he wrote about the champ. with flonase allergy relief, they wont. when we breathe in allergens, our bodies react by over producing six key inflammatory substances that cause our symptoms. most allergy pills only control one substance. flonase controls six. and six is greater than one. flonase outperforms the #1 non-drowsy allergy pill. so you can seize those moments, wherever you find them. flonase. six is greater than one changes everything. >>> muhammad ali loved people and he had white friends as well as black friends. he had discrimination and racism. and so that's the way that i look at him and that

seated a national parliament that established legitimate government all in the anniversary of gaddafi's death. so, what can be done to impose upon these parties the ability to achieve the goal that we all collectively want? >> thank you, senator. all the problems are real. and they should not be glossed over and treated lightly. the challenges that any libyan government faces are substantial. but it also has a group of people who are patriotic, have some education, have some vision of what their country could be and are distributed in many different parts of the country. national dialogue and reconciliation, political mechanisms, political activities are central to the future of the country and having the country emerge from this period of fragmanitatifra fragmentation that it's just gone through. our job is to align regional players, as well as europeans and us. in support of a common approach to strengthen national institutions so they can combat at least some of those threats that you've just articulated long enough for libya to evolve to its next phase. supported by the considerable

what is gambling and irresponsible was ousting gaddafi in libya without any plan whatsoever for the aftermath. indeed, it is gambling and irresponsible and dangerous to believe iran would not violate many aspects of the geneva agreement. surely it was a gam to believe believe that the american people would ignore the capture and provocative treatment of 10 american sailors seized by the iranian regime last january. and surely it was a gamble that the american people would not pay attention to the increased military operations in syria and iraq and yes, the tragic deaths of american service personnel. if the president refused to call them combat operations. there is more happening in the middle east today than the air strikes against isis and we need to thank those war fighters on the ground that are there as we gather here this afternoon. they are risking their lyes right now, every day, and their families are dispirited because their sons and daughters are in combat and do sustain injuries while the administration hides behind semantics of no boots on the ground. there are boots on the groun

the unexpected response of gaddafi's underground militia. have been an even greater loss of life that night. i believe the government failed the people and lied to the public in the aftermath. god willing, it will prevent this from ever happening again. >> i want to thank martha again. this has been an incredible task to take. we have worked day in and day out. i have been focused on issues prior to the attack. the things that we learned from benghazi, there were many new things that we learned. and theall admitted security was inadequate. that theydn't know is made a conscious decision to keep the benghazi compound all -- off the radar. none of the facilities met any of the security requirements required by the state department and law. when chris stevens was sent to minute,, at the last that military support was cold. -- pulled. he had a mission and he had a mission to ensure that benghazi became a permanent post at some point. the individuals and benghazi them to topple gadhafi. they wanted to show benghazi how important they work. the wa
