what the president is doing to a certain extent you could argue that he wasn't really involved in a lot of this stuff. but he is so centrally involving himself with these repeated lies. i'm going to call them lies because they are lies. they are on tape. nobody thought that he called it a terrorist attack. last night i was -- i went and looked up at the "new york times" how they reported it the day after. they never referenced that we have had a terrorist attack against the united states. on september 20th, however, they run a story that says libya envoy's killing was a terrorist attack. they say until now white house officials have not used that language in describing the assault. that is september 20th the "new york times." at what pint president don't believe your lying eyes. >> brit: if -- >> bret: if the brief matched talking points that's. what the president did was force john boehner's hands on the select committee.
