k.t. mcfarland who like the rest of suswatching the benghazi select committee hearings throughout the day.was new that you found compelling about it? >> a couple things. one i think it did put to rest the argument she's old and her health issues. she may be in her late 60s, this has been an endurance race for her. in the fifth, sixth hour she's doing okay. lou: the compelling news is that mrs. clinton has remarkable stamina for a woman of her age. >> secondly, though, she lied. lou: well, i think i would have reversed those headlines, but k.t., this is your moment. what did she lie about? >> she lied, there is evidence that within hours of the benghazi attack she told her family, she told the egyptian foreign minister it was a terrorist attack, an al qaeda-like attack and went to the american people and lied. lou: i never heard she sent an e-mail perhaps because the e-mails were only recently procured or received, had told chelsea it was a terrorist attack, had you? it was a stunning moment. >> and the e-mails came to the committee a day ago, there was nothing that could have been leaked b

k.t. mcfarland talking about syria so i'll found stupid. a day after his complete collapse of middle eastern foreign policy, why would anyone think this president is any better at gun policy than he is at middle eastern policy? he's not. he's utterly vacuous. on this point he was callous. >> the other interesting part about this is, if anyone else treats this as a political football from the other side, they will be condemned. like if the nra were to come and say this is why you shouldn't have gun-free zones. you should have armed security everywhere. if they did that the moment this happened they would be accused of horrible activities. but it's only okay to politicize an issue if you agree with the politicizer, right? >> yeah. i don't know if you read the saturday "new york times" editorial. i don't know if you ever read the saturday new york time. >> every morning. >> but they treated it like a theater review. they said the republicans indulged in bromides that the president had understated fury. it was all of a set piece not taking into

k.t. mcfarland, you know her as a fox news contributor. she said this. it was a masterful performance. she let nothing slip. but in the end, she let everything slip. she didn't mean to, but she showed us a glimpse into her soul. it was chilling. what she's talking about is how at the ceremony, hillary clinton stood over the bodies, looked directly into the faces of the families and said, you know, it's all about that video. each though she knew that was a lie. she knew that they had died from a planned terrorist attack. why did she do that? because the election was in eight weeks and the narrative the administration was pushing was bin laden was dead and al qaeda was on the heels. if the story was truly told at that point, five weeks before an election that al qaeda had just killed four americans, that would screw things up. what do they do? they did the political thing. they did a spin. >> steve owe, i'm going to add something else. this is also her report card. even though he's the president of the united states, this is the mission she supported and wanted. this is the action that s
