thank you so much joining us now is general david petraeus, former cia director and former commanderal command. general. good morning to you. i want to come back to him good in just a moment, but i want to start with this meeting that i've been told this happening right now between president zelenskyy and vice president harris and all the uncertainty ukraine funding is uncertain. funding for israel and for taiwan are uncertain burton, a former president, trump wins the election in november. us commitment to these multilateral security organizations like nato, is uncertain if the job of the us delegation is to provide that certainty and reassurance a much can she offer in this meeting >> well, she'll say what she said yesterday when she addressed the audience here which is that xi and president biden are determined to carry this forward we heard reassurances from republican center here today as well. saying this will happen. of course, the uncertainty is what is very troubling keeping in mind that the eu actually came through. in this case, they just committed 50 billion in additional

but the first thing i thought about was david petraeus. david petraeus had kept notebooks.notebooks were from the time when he was in afghanistan, so they were highly classified. it wasn't just sort of a general here's my diary of the day and maybe a few things in it are classified. highly classified. he kept those notebooks. he did not turn them in when he left his military service. and then he shared them knowing they were classified with his biographer who then used them when writing a book for him. he then lied to the fbi about whether he had shared those notebooks with the biographer. he was -- pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of mishandling. but you can see already there the big differences. and my guess is that somewhere in this lengthy report mr. hurr probably compares this case to the case involving david petraeus. and you see there's distinctions, as well. >> this isn't over politically. in some ways the beginning of the beginning. legally, is this over for president biden? >> it should be, but let me answer that question a little bit differently. and i'm ce

earlier, my colleague, sumi somaskanda, spoke with former cia director david petraeus about the situationments here in washington could affect the war effort. i want to start with senator mitch mcconnell stepping down as senate minority leader. he has been one of the smallest proponents among republicans from more military aid to the ukraine. what impact will this have on support for the ukraine going forward? he have on support for the ukraine going forward?— going forward? he won't step down until— going forward? he won't step down until november- going forward? he won't step down until november so - going forward? he won't step down until november so he i going forward? he won't step l down until november so he will continue to push this, and he has indeed been one of the foremost champions of support foremost champions of support for ukraine and i think one of the really powerful intellectual voices on this, pointing out repeatedly very, very clearly and articulately, and i think convincingly that this is about our national security, this is not charity, this is about ensuring again t

this is very similar to what happened with former cia director, david petraeus who was prosecuted becausehad notebooks, diaries that included classified information that he turned over to a woman that was working on a book about him. now, again, the hur report also puts a lot of this into context, and says, first of all, very different from the trump situation as you have already covered. also, there's a history of presidents taking home classified information, and it talks about ronald reagan having notebooks that may have had classified material in it. that is a mitigating factor for president biden. nonetheless, here's a man dealing with classified information for decades, his entire year as a public servant and treated it in a cavalier manner, not by accident, or carelessness, but according to this report, willy. >> it raises a question about what they're doing with information they're given, and some of the information is not overly classified but maybe there's too much out there that's classified. i know that criticism has been leveled before. i do not know the contents of what's in

to quote a review, general david petraeus, this brilliant and riveting volume in an extraordinary trilogy. silas solidifies john mcmanus reputation as one of the greatest historians of our times. please me, we welcome john mcmanus. thank you. thank you. i don't know what to say after that. thank you for that incredible introduction. i paid general petraeus a lot of money for that blurb and boy did that payoff. i'd like to also thank kari robb and, my old friend who's who did all these arrangements to make this a success tonight. and i'd like to thank all of you for making time and trouble to come and see me on such beautiful evening. and i'm sure you could be doing a lot of other stuff, but i wanted to you how much i appreciate that you i want to just take you into the into the world of the us army in 1945. tonight it's a when you take a look at this map you can just see the vastness of the of the theater. it's just almost staggering at point. by 1945, the army had head to come into full maturity. and it's it's basically out along our map here from, desolate outposts in alaska to choking

you know, a very good friend of mine, david petraeus, has often observed the only thing worse than fightings fighting a war without allies. so, you know, the reality is the united states, unlike china and russia, has a broad range of alliances, nato being, i guess, the largest and most important one. when trump was president in his first term, he sought to unsettle all of those. he pulled out of some very important global agreements. the climate agreement, for example. he wouldn't participate in the transpacific partnership. happily, shinzo abe and i were able to keep that going without the u.s. but with nato, which is the single most important in a military strategic alliance, the america is part of, he has threatened to pull out of that, and his fascination with putin, who, of course, is the adversary, really puts in question the viable of nato. now, this is, you know, the problem with that, with these arrangements is that once you undermine the trust in them, the language -- and you don't have to amendment article v of nato agreement, but once people feel that the united states cannot be
