how many of you watched the benghazi hearings? course, hillary clinton continues not to answer the fundamental question, which is, since she clearly knew this was a purposeful terror attack on the night it was going on, why did she get up the next day and address the american people and talk about a videotape that did not represent our values and why did she continue to talk about that for many days and weeks to come. trey gowdy, he has done it clear that mrs. clinton will not be held accountable for her actions there or elsewhere. until and unless we have a nominee prepared to hold her to account during a general election debate. [applause] ms. fiorina: maybe some of you have not quite decided if you're ready to support me or not, but everyone of you, i know in your heart of hearts, cannot wait to see me debate hillary clinton.

niall: congressman, circling back to the benghazi issue. your party colleague congressman grayson of florida filed an ethics complaint against representative mccarthy. the accusation being that mr. mccarthy was using taxpayer dollars to make political attacks upon hillary clinton. it seems like you share his underlying view. but do you think it was the right thing to do to file an ethics complaint? rep. schiff: i have not read the ethics complaint. certainly, if there is a deliberate effort to abuse taxpayer dollars, if there is coordination between the committee and the republican national committee, there may be a very good case to be made that this is also a violation of law and ethics. but i haven't read the ethics complaint so it is hard for me to talk about any specific allegations. i certainly think ethics violation or not it is a terrible abuse of taxpayer dollars. and at this point it is no longer serving a valid purpose and ought to be disbanded. niall: to get back to the speakership issue, this is a somewhat hypothetical question

we were desperate, and we were trying to call everybody we knew in benghazi, in libya -- get additional help. what appears to have happened at some point later, is that libyans found ambassador stevens, and they carried him to the hospital in benghazi. and libyan doctors labored nearly two hours to try to resuscitate him. and i mention all of this because i want, not just the committee members, but any viewers in the public to understand that this was the fog of war, that the diplomatic security officers, and then later the cia officers responded with heroism, professionalism as they had been trained to do. we thought things would be safe once they took refuge in the cia annex, and, as we know, even though that was a highly fortified, much more secure facility than our diplomatic compound, and one that we had nothing to do with in the state department, it turned out also to be a target for the militants, which is where the two cia contractors, mr. woods and mr. doherty, died. but in looking at all of the information, the accountability review board, and, particularly, admiral mullen, wh

host: lots of questions from you on the benghazi committee. the congressman of course is a member of the select committee. how do you think democrats are changing their approach to hillary clinton's appearance before the select committee later this month? niall: i think one of the key things that has changed pretty recently is that democrats are starting to see an upside to the benghazi committee. in other words, they believe that there could be a view among voters that republicans are overreaching with this. and i think that is what we heard the congressman talking about. i think they will obviously be hoping that hillary clinton acquits herself well on october 22, when she goes before the committee. i think they now see a potential political dividend and we see that even at the presidential level where hillary clinton recently released a video picking up upon the remarks by kevin mccarthy that we talked about, suggesting that the committee was from her point of view sort of hopelessly politicized. host: you mentioned an ethics complaint that
