with the largeer allies like japan and australia but the smaller countries like philippines, indonesia and vietnam openly looking to expand military ties with the united states. bret? bret: adam, thank you. the republican congressman running for senate from missouri made comments about what he called legitimate rape will be staying in the race. the deadline for todd akin to remove his name from the ballot expired about an hour ago. akin resisted calls from far and wide to withdrawal after that comment. he is facing democratic incumbent senator claire mccaskill. the president speaks to the united nations. no mention of terrorism but a firm commitment to the deadline of pulling troops out of afghanistan. we ll talk about it all with the fox all-stars, special foreign policy panel when we come back. does your phone give you all day battery life ? droid does. and does it launch apps by voice while learning your voice ? launch cab4me. droid does.
what do you thinthis they wie this campaign. what do you think of that? i always appreciate his counsel. this focuses a great deal of attention on whether or not we ll have a government that becomes largeer that tells us what kind of health i were surance we have to have. the president wants to raise taxes on a million small businesses. the president is borrowing a trillion dollars more we re taking in every year. a pathway to looks more european than american in my view. one i know some americans are drawn to. i think they are wrong. i think they don t recognize it s not good for america at large. 100% of americans in my view will do much better if we have a government that lives by the model established by the founding fathers. that was one based upon freedom and opportunity. neil: that is your theme. guest: it is. i agree with what he said but
long-standing state of constant tension that is unlikely to ever change. while romney was dealing with the controversy over his nearly 5-month-old remarks president obama was confronted with the open redistribution of wealth rhetoric from 14 years ago. the trick is figuring out how do we structure the government systems that pull resources, and facilitate some redistribution? because i believe in redistribution. at least at a certain level to make sure that everybody has a shot. i disagree. a society on government-centered nation where government plays a largeer and larmer goal, redistributes mup is the wrong course for america. that will not build a strong america or help people out of poverty. the right course for america is create growth, create wealth. not redistribute wealth. romney and the republican party hope to turn things around and planning new barrage of attack adds and say mr. obama comments from 14
investigation of what took place here we will find out that we should have had a much largeer and capable security force of our own, protecting that consulate. bret: how does this happen, do you think, general, on 9/11? the 11th anniversary on 9/11. it s libya, it s volatile. you have an ambassador who just was not protected. guest: yeah. it s a tragedy. the investigation i m convinced will get to the bot of the of it. clearly security was inaccurate. it s outrageous that armed goons like that could penetrate our facility, kill four americans inside and wound a bunch of others and just destroy the place. bret: the marines you talk about, you hear about the detachment, the different embassies. really, they re about the internal part of embassy. not a major protection of the embassy, itself. guest: absolutely. it s internal to the embassy. still there if something penetrates. when the ambassador is on the move or one of his staff is on
how much money they spent on it. given they spent tens of millions on the ads. trying to tear down romney and build up obama. we still see this as a deadlock race. so, depends. we don t know whether he is wasted the money or not. it s cliche. we won t know until election day. john: charles, president obama, the obama campaign spending money at least the romney campaign spending money at three-fifth the rate of the obama campaign. the obama campaign had a largeer figure. almost $600 million compared to under $500 million. is that an indication of what? i think kirsten is right. they see their only hope is to run a micro managed constituency oriented campaign. the constituency is, you know, dangled some kind of benefit. free contraceptive. cutting student loan. hispanic, the dream act. every constituency has a goodie handed out as we approach election day. perhaps i m naive. if you have a record of the administration, then you then
