Topic: Christopher Stevens

The hosts critique Eleanor Clift and Bill Maher for continuing to blame the "Innocence of Muslims" YouTube video for the Benghazi attack, despite evidence to the contrary. They reiterate their theory that the event was a botched kidnapping attempt intended as an "October Surprise." The discussion highlights the discrepancy between official reports and the media narrative regarding Ambassador Christopher Stevens' death.

Eleanor Clift is heard on the McLaughlin Group claiming that Ambassador Christopher Stevens died of smoke inhalation rather than being murdered. The hosts strongly disagree, reiterating their theory that Benghazi was a botched kidnapping attempt intended to be an "October Surprise" for the 2012 election, complicated by CIA weapons smuggling to Syria.

Newly declassified documents reveal that President Obama's military advisors identified the September 11, 2012, attack on the Benghazi consulate as a terrorist act within 15 minutes. This contradicts early administration claims that the violence was a spontaneous protest sparked by an internet video. A Senate panel report concluded the attack, which killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens, was preventable.
