Very excited -- territory -- -- left arm.

It's the sun my -- soul which means assignments done so and you know she's a -- elements.

You know -- the line and protect protect us or however -- lower drug.

Who may -- talk about half an arm around month you look good don't read my goodness for all you've been through all include did beat up as you should be this is still step up there the general land -- didn't.

Gates is still so cranky I love it -- and I love if this liquidity must have a you know like a mock Imus in the closet aging bribing or -- and don't.

-- -- -- So very -- must achieve desired use determined Ghazi Gary I going to -- -- -- -- their Americas event.

Well I think it's real trouble.

For the president because for the first time -- I think it's been a very honest administration are you could fault them for policies hero they -- for some of their priorities and I certainly have but they have never been this that the -- I know dishonest.

And it just seems in this whole situation and then Ghazi that.

They tried to make spin on a terrorist act to protect -- Political flank and it's going back to haunt them now and it just seems to be dishonest that's the worst thing about it seems.

So uncharacteristically.

Nixonian in -- way manipulative.

Dissembling and I think they're caught now in the question is whether or not.

This issue will have traction in the the next three weeks.

So far I was really -- an -- well now you've -- you know whoever won has been focused on how bad the president did in the debate with the Mitt Romney couple weeks ago.

But then again farm policy generally speaking unless it's something very dramatic doesn't doesn't catch hold but I I believe that with -- you know with this term bank Gaza game with the Republicans flogging it.

Brady didn't know all the talk show host now bringing it up.

It might actually have an impact further on if for example.

You know there is some communication.

From the White House -- the State Department.

And to Susan Rice specifically in you know just before the Sunday appearances.

You must not say terrorist you must direct this to spontaneous -- From that from -- anti Muslim hate film.

You know if that communication exist -- say that there's an email us some log someplace.

I think that that is -- -- you know it might even be criminal but it certainly is.

You know damn caught in a -- and I think that would definitely have an impact.

Has lost some Bill O'Reilly and -- I don't know once ordered every Friday.

-- like him here I don't.

I do you know -- -- -- -- got a guy you know unlike you.

Who I've known forever known O'Reilly for a very long time and yeah hang out.

And you you wonder if you get in the full open deal in the -- He's he's very day keeps his cards close to the -- -- -- -- slap them on the back from get drunkenness not that kind of relationship.

But I do consider my friend and he's been good to -- stuck by me.

At times -- a lot of other people would have has continued attempt football and kept me on the show.

When I -- in a lot of criticism from the right.

You know so why we have a lot of loyalty -- -- I think as a stand aka money present -- -- timeline wanted to do -- about just.

What's the administration's -- was on this -- And but it doesn't act.

And -- and and and presented a clear evidence that we were eight -- you know to start I didn't.

But to remove -- were eight days in of the same.

Before we're done any kind of straight story about him.

It's true it's true I don't I don't.

Mind you know personal having almost died.

Near being Ghazi.

I know those malicious pretty well they are.

Crazy and our kids stick.

A lot of them are released criminals they got al-Qaeda mixed up with their college students.

Unemployed.

You know a mob type people they've all got weapons they raided all the Qaddafi arsenals.

You know whoever -- tough guy was in the bloc he became the Melissa Melissa cheap then.

They shoot at each other they have no military discipline so you know of all places.

In.

Eastern Libya.

I would expect people not to know the true nature of something like an attack on our embassy.

Four are you know or a reasonable at a time a 24 hours 48 hours.

But it's also relatively small town is not a lot of people there everybody knows basically everybody else up you know -- If there's an anarchist from the this gang or this prisoner.

You know so you know basically who the attackers wore.

2440 -- hours later and dentists keep saying it's the film -- the film 56 days later it kinda has the stench of Watergate and I think that like quarter gate.

This is the kind of thing with the troops will come out so slowly it probably you know which document the impact on the election.

I think that that's one thing that's three weeks away.

But I think three months from now six months from now when the -- really emerges then you'll know exactly who was the one who came up with the great scheme.

To consider a terrorist attack you know something that was caused -- aren't aren't.

Joseph Biden.

Can Genesis that are weren't told Abbas current request but certainly.

After the attacks -- must've known.

On that took requests have been made and that have been made as a safe department -- -- -- what anybody below.

Hillary Clinton be able sign off on all was -- security from -- embassy.

I and I don't think -- but you know but you point out -- what Biden said during the vice presidential debate.

I thought that was the biggest drop ball for Paul Ryan I -- but did he did pretty good the kid did pretty good except for the awarded drinking and some other obvious nervous twits.

-- but.

There are substantively.

And and rarely that's who he really -- that's where Paul Ryan should -- turn to the vice president said.

You didn't now how -- you not now well I didn't know what do you mean you'd did not give me and you personally didn't know did you mean -- president didn't know do you mean the State Department didn't communicate to the White House.

You know what exactly do you mean you didn't now and then had you know I think he could've asked three of war five questions right there that gonna stop that that that debate right in its tracks.

And instead they you know the Vice President Biden said he didn't know.

And then Iran to another topic and and never really went back to it that's why it was so unsatisfying and that I think that.

Ryan there that was a one point where his nervousness really affected substance that was he could have pounced there and he didn't.

Are going carollo Rivera I was already on.

Covered every syrup here and so -- -- run a country by Camilla park just in on -- assertions.

And mobile broadcast and a moral law and more course we'll have gone from a from Hofstra University.

Was the site of tomorrow -- -- what to expect wanna.

Well -- IE.

I wonder if Obama has the chops you know it's not like guys you see I don't know Frazier Ali you -- -- Ali could've won the first -- -- -- threw punches this and -- -- -- a different tactic you knew that he had a shot going in because he was essentially.

The equal the match of Joseph Frazier.

Here you and I just wonder if if the president has the chops I wonder if they did -- have a bad night or is he just.

You know he's had a kind of an imperial presidency no one's really challenge -- in the last four years does -- have the right stuff does he have.

I can he you know -- in terms of personal style.

-- organize an argument any be sufficiently combative -- lock.

All eyes with Mitt Romney and show people that he's more presidential the as a greater grasp of the issues -- he -- Romney out with specifics again.

You can't like for example in their first presidential debate Obama says.

You can have a five trillion dollar tax cut and then lower taxes and expected to not affect the deficit.

So then Romney says I don't have a five trillion dollar tax cut.

And the president didn't and he should've said well according to this spreads this study did you know according to this you know Stanford according to the enterprise institute Gary again you didn't -- he didn't have grasp of the issues sufficient to challenge.

Mitt Romney and to stop him and distracts and let instead he smiled and looked around and yeah.

I you look down looked I'll be looked at Michelle wishing that they were at their anniversary dinner is just you know he he blew an opportunity and I don't know.

Whether he's got the the stopped.

The you don't -- style that talent to Romney I don't know -- -- -- --
