But days ahead of the election who better to address these concerns and America's mayor.
Rudy Giuliani -- pretty good to have you -- -- to be with you what do you make of this.
What a -- that I made -- the day after.
When when I heard about this first impression was terrorist attack.
Within one day started to have people telling me this is a big cover up big disaster.
Administration's been sitting on this for months meaning sitting on the powder keg that was Libya.
Because they wanted to make it look like -- Obama's success.
This I think has been.
A situation in which a disaster took place.
-- in the lives of four Americans didn't have to happen if we had an administration that didn't put the election of Barack Obama ahead of national -- -- you just that I completely -- -- that you know.
You know that blew a hole through water -- -- And I forgot about it because that would have been -- telkom I don't mean like you gotta be how do you mind not tell -- when did that happen happen in June OK so we twelve.
In this summer -- -- whole.
Like people want to know is -- was -- -- smoking gun no there's a smoking can.
I mean they blow hole.
In the wall.
Of the consulate -- that now -- up at a briefing.
If you didn't then don't don't we have a president of so incompetent that he should resign so that would tell you this is an area the world we have to want.
Of course I mean it's it -- totally impossible.
The President Obama wasn't briefed.
They blew a hole in the wall of that consulate.
Now why does that -- not get more security.
Why they keep turning down requests for security what -- they arguably reduce security but what they do it because Republicans denied funding for the security.
That's that's total nonsense actually they didn't affect there was plenty -- funny and even the woman testified was not a question of funding here with the reason.
They didn't want make Libya look like a failure.
They didn't want to make Libya look like a terrible mistake on the part of Barack Obama toppled dictator toppled it and it -- that we left and.
But disaster and we thought -- a moderate government was elected -- -- Egypt where we had a had a problem with that with a Muslim Brotherhood government elected moderate government theoretically was elected.
Ben -- he's been a disaster zone for a year and this administration.
I think on purpose wasn't paying attention that look the British pulled out.
The Red Cross pulled out.
Our console is attacked twice and now we have these letters.
That that that the console is begging for help from the Libyan government.
And then become suspicious to the Libyan policeman is casing the joint which is the way we would put in New York if we were doing the investigation this would be like.
I was mayor of New York.
Somebody blew a hole -- City Hall.
And I decided it no known -- protection City Hall they get blown up four months later.
What do you think the people New -- would do -- -- they throw me out they'd impeach me they throw me out that say I was incompetent.
-- you blow holes in this consulate and that that consulate doesn't get extra protection something is wrong the president has not been required to answer this -- -- -- alienate an excuse remember that Joseph Biden got a raise that in the debate would pull -- right.
Why wasn't aware parts of maybe he wasn't and then Hillary Clinton try to -- think what we weren't conveying this in the wettest.
Is ignorance and excuse here in order is even more damning indictment.
Ignorance is should actually be grounds for -- resignation.
Fifty if you can have a hole drilled in the wall of the consulate and a very sensitive part of the world and the president United States and -- -- don't find out about it.
Then at the whole -- national security apparatus is a disaster.
Stick around we're gonna more regionally on -- to this.
