Welcome back to "hannity." so the benghazi select committee has been denounced by democrats as many more than that political ploy to take down hillary clinton but it is so important to remember why this committee was formed. four great americans murdered on the night of september 11, 2012 and their families deserve answers. so do we as citizens. how do they feel about the hearings today and what did they get out of hillary clinton? joining us now, michael igmire, uncle of sean smith, 1 of the 4 killed in benghazi. michael, first our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. >> thank y...

President. >> hearing 600 -- >> no. >> hearing that 600 separate security requests were made and they were denied, do you blame them for what happened? >> absolutely. i blame them for instituting an illegal regime change, for running guns, for lying about it, for not protecting our people. that's the first rule of thumb for military protocol. you never leave anyone behind. and if you can't rescue them and keep them whole, you at least bring home the body. and it's just horrific that we have this woman and this current president running this fiasco. >> our thoughts and prayers go out to you and...
