at every possibility. >> understood. former secretary of the navy, thank you very much for being here with all of that fgs information. >> following a lot of news. let's get after it. >> hour troops will fight to win. conditions on the ground will guide our strategy. >> i think what you saw last night is something the president beliefs in and will follow through with. >> victory will have a clear definition. attacking our enemies, obliterating isis. >> just some nibbling around the edges. >> there is no room for bigotry and no tolerance for hate. >> i do believe that he messed up on tuesday. >> president trump has back on the campaign trail tonight with a rally in arizona. >> you're going to go to phoenix and make a speech, fine, say

something that is going to bring people together. >>announcer: this is new day. >> good morning, welcome to your new day. tuesday, august 22. in the east. the u.s. has a strategy in afghanistan. is it new? that's an open question. president trump recommitting the united states to the war. refusing to provide details. the nation's longest running war. >> u.s. ambassador to the u.n. telling new day this morning that the president is not focussed on the duration of the conflict but instead on stomping out terrorism. meanwhile president trump returns to the campaign trail with a rally in phoenix. >> let's bring in the panel. cnn political analyst david gregory. chris cillizza and military and diplomatic analyst. john kirby.

let's listen to nikki haley. she gave a defense of the speech. here it is. >> i think the president's speech was strong. the i think it was showing that we are taking an entirely new approach from what's happened in the past. i was in h the national security council meetings, there were multiple meetings. there was a lot of information. there were a lot of questions asked. and i think what you saw last night was something the president believes in and something he's going to follow through with. in the past, it's always been time based on when we were going to get out or based on the number of troops. now it's results-based. that worked. >> there's no question the president needed to have his own mind changed. citizen and even candidate trump would have hated that speech last night because he was the complete opposite mind set. >> no. i think that really shows the signs of a president. the one thing is to be a kad and talk about what you think. the other is to be a president and talk about what you know.

the stakt p facts were put on the table and he asked all the right questions. you've going to see a different approach. our enemies are no longer going to know what our time line is or where we are and how many troops. what our enemies are going to know is we're not putting up with the terrorism anymore and we're going to do whatever it takes. but more importantly the president's taking on a regional approach. this is not just about afghanistan. it's about the region. so it means we've got to put the pressure on pakistan. we need the international community to step up and say look, if we're going to do this, we're doing it together. it's not the united states alone. >> all right. so, david gregory, the big points. this is if did. the results versus the time oriented. is an advantage. the and that trump didn't know what he was talking about when he was running but he knows now, that's why he lifted. what do you make of those? >> well that last point there is always a learning curve for a

president who comes in who gets more acquainted with what the issues really are, the challenges. president obama faced this. president bush faced this when he said there would be no nation building as a candidate but i don't think this is substantially different at all. america thaz been committed to afghanistan for 16 years. i think there was much more nation building in the beginning. president bush at the end of his term acknowledged that it would be very difficult to turn it around politically. the but there has been a through line now from president bush to president obama and now to president trump. and that is that you can't quit afghanistan. you can't quit it because you cannot allow a safe haven for terrorists to emerge. whether that's a per a site like al qaeda, or an insurgesy that's home grown like the taliban that a u.s. presence and military presence and intelligence gathering presence is vital.

now, with a more marginal troop increase as the president seems to be talking about, i don't know how it forces the taliban into a better negotiating position. there's a lot we don't know about this policy, but i think the conclusion is that we are in something of a forever war in afghanistan. a commitment to be -- to have a u.s. presence there for a long period of time to kind of keep the lid on it and keep the lid on the region. >> john, kirby, she said something i want to get the lid on. obviously you don't want to telegraph the enemy your time line, troop movements, that makes sense. but what about telling americans what they're in for? is what they're estimating to? what's the balance there with how much information the president is supposed to offer up in an announcement like that? >> the cutoff is strategy versus operations. american people have a right to know what you're trying to do. but they don't have a right to

know every little operation you're conducting and what individual units are doing on a day-to-day basis and obviously you don't a want the enemy to know either. i don't think the president got that right quite frankly. le i'm glad he's got a strategy. it's too bad it's not his strategy. it's president obama's. and oh, by the way, he's not going to get away with the fact that he's not talking about numbers. i was actually glad that the speech last night wasn't about numbers. i didn't want it to be. but when he says we're note going to talk about them, he doesn't get that choice. when congress comes back i'm guessing they're going to want to know point-blank how many troops he's going to send and sort of what the time line is. frankly they should have to talk about this because there's lots of moms and dads out there sending their sons and daughters out to boot camp. >> congress has totally bailed

on this president after president, they're abdicated their duties to declare war and own this part of the check on the executive. it's an embarrassment. they say they're going to change it. the chris cillizza, there was another point nikki haley spoke to that created policy confusion. you've got to look at pakistan as well. they harbor a lot of bad people there. that's where osama bin laden was hiding whether or not they knew. but she says they didn't need to be in the travel ban because we know enough about the couple that want to come from those countries to the u.s. how can that be? >> i think there's policy making on the fly. if nikki haley had to it do all over again, if you have a president nikki haley, my guess is you wouldn't have the travel ban. it was certainly ill conceived

as the way it was originally written. it seemed to be somewhat slap dash,en a attempt to make a very quick campaign promise fulfilled. the work primarily we know of steve bannon and steve miller, one of whom is not at the white house any longer. i give trump credit in that the process did take a while. he did change position from the campaign, and from what he had said previously when presented with more and better information. but that's the anomaly thus far in his presidency. the way in which the travel ban was both written and executing is more to the rule, which is much more about impact. that's why you see the policy confusion. one policy was created sort of in a week or two out of whole cloth to make good on a campaign promise. the other one was seven months

plus in the making. there's a difference when you spend time engaged with the issues, talk to the relevant people who tell you this can work and this can't work. now oftentimes, by the way those policy solutions are less than thrilling to any one side. i think that's what you're getting out of afghanistan. >> david gregory you've talked about the split screen we see with the president. tell prompter president trump where he sticks to the speech writers' words and to his message and then there's rally trump, or even press conference president trump as we saw when he was trying to explain his reaction to charlottesville. to last night, after of the president's speech we had house speaker paul ryan as part of a cnn town hall and he said for the first time in his strongest language, yet, that he think that is the president really messed up during that press conference about the charlottesville reaction. here is paul ryan. >> so i do believe that he messed up in his comments on

tuesday when it sounded like a moral equivocation or at the very least moral ambiguity when we need extreme moral clarity. let me back up to are a second and make one or two other points. it should not be about the president. this is not about republicans or democrats. this shouldn't be about some voting congress or some partisan issue. this is so much more important than that. >> so we're happy obviously that the speaker is part of the town hall, but it did take him a long time to come out and criticize the president in that way. >> yeah. i think so. i mean where were those words, where was that public stand right as this was happening? in the heat of the moment. that's what leadership required of paul ryan, who i think is a strong leader p and a very principled person as i've known him and covered him over the years. i continue to be surprised by speaker ryan and his

relationship with president trump and his reluctance to speak out for the values i believe he stands for as a politician and as a person. but he is making a choice, and i suspect some of that has to do with the responsibility he feels to house republicans and to maintaining political control of the house, and i think it's also policy-based. i think that for all of the chaos around the trump presidency, the one person who has had a very disciplined and laser beamed focus on the agenda is paul ryan and i think he thinks that even health care that slipped through his fingers, that tax reform is still possible. >> all right. panel, thank you all very much for all of insights. we appreciate it. we do need to get to breaking news right now though. divers have found remains in the search for ten navy sailors who went missing after the ship collided with an oil tanker. life in sing a poor for us.

>> reporter: al-i sin, we just returned from a press conference with the commander for the pacific fleet and he confirmed that accident is now a deadly accident. remains have been found. show you what he said moments ago. >> the u.s. navy and marine corps divers joined a search today assessing sealed compartments in damage parts of the ship. the divers were able to locate some remains in those sealed compartments during their search today. additionally, the malaysian navy have reported they located potential remains, they are working to confirm and identify those remains. >> so what the admiral would not say is exactly how many of those ten missing u.s. sailors have been recovered so far. he said this is now a recovery operation, it is not a rescue operation and that is the priority trying to get to those other remains, found inside some

the sealed compartments of that ship that was damaged early monday morning. but of course there are questions what caused this all in the first place. the admiral would not speculate but said there would be a long review to figure out what's going on. >> the simple truth that recovery like this is hard. those ships are big. compartments are flooded. searching is difficult and it takes time. stay on it. thank you very much. president trump says u.s. troops will fight to win in afghanistan. but he didn't lay out a clear strategy or time line. what does that mean? we have a republican congressman and retired navy seal joining us next. ♪ it's time for the biggest sale of the year with the new sleep number 360 smart bed. it senses your every move and automatically adjusts on both sides to keep you effortlessly comfortable. and snoring.... does your bed do that? the new 360 smart bed is part of our biggest sale

the u.s. needs to develop more renewable and clean energy resources because there are limits to the amount of fossil fuels that we can burn. since 1925, we have depended on diesel generators, burning approximately a million gallons of diesel fuel a year. we're going through an energy revolution. our mission is to make off-shore wind one of the principle new sources of energy. not every bank is willing to get involved in a "first of its kind" project. citi really stepped up when we needed them. citi saw the promise of clean energy and they worked really closely with us, financing the first off-shore wind farm in the united states. the wind farm will lower power prices. we're polluting the air less. businesses and homes can rely on a steady source of power. block island wind farm is a catalyst

in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember. my original instinct was to pull out and historically, i like following my instrints stwipgtss but all my life i've heard decisions are much different when you sit behind the desk in the oval office. >> now president president trump reversing his stance on afghanistan and recommitting to the war there. but the president did not give any details on troop levels or a timetable. does his new policy amount to a blank check somehow. joining us is republican congressman scott tailor, also a former navy seal and iraq war veteran.

good morning. >> i'm doing well. i know you like the the president's speech last night. what did you hear? >> i heard a disruption in the status quo if you will. i represent the area that has more military than the nation. our folks -- i want to know they're going to be able to have the rulings of engagement they need and not micro managed by polit politicians in washington. he said there with not be a blank check. i think a lot of folks in the american public they're not happy with the nation, where we are 16 years later, so, for what i heard was we're going to change the status quo, put pressure on countries in the religion and then we will re-evaluate and see where we are with that. i do want to hear that. that's something that i think that we needed to hear as a country. as well as folks that are in the military. >> the president didn't give any

specific troop levels, but our sources in h the white house say that he'll be adding 4,000 troops to afghanistan. is that -- how will that change anything? how will that change what's going on in h afghanistan? that level of troop build. >> well, from what i understand and i definitely read the reporting. the he's already delegate thad short previously to secretary mattis up to 4,000. to from what you understand as well as from yesterday that will be conditions based on the ground. what the strategy is and how that changes everything that completely depends on conditions on the ground. as a special war fare fighter like myself i like to see unconvention unconventional. i don't know the specific strategy. i will leave that up to them and -- >> but does that number make sense -- >> i don't think that you should

get -- i don't think that you should or us should get swept up in what the actual number is. i don't think -- that doesn't make sense to me as a military man. it all depends and dictated what the conditions or on the ground. >> i hear you but 4,000 feels like the right number to change the equation there? >> i don't know the answer to that. i know that the commanders on the ground will know the answer to that more than me. i don't like politicians micro managing from washington so as now a politician i'm not going to try to do that. >> do you think -- i hear you. about your district, i didn't know that that you sent the most soldiers to fight. that's interesting. do you think -- >> well we -- we have the most active duty in veterans of any congressional tiskt in the nation. not the most. >> most active duty. >> most active duty in and veterans combination in the country in terms of

congressional distributes. >> do you think that the parents, do you think they deserve more specifics than they heard last night? >> i think that number -- two things. i've been very clear in terms of the au -- 16-year-old authorization of use of military force. congress should have that debate and input from the administration. and then we should have that debate. but i will tell you that the folks, the parents back home, soldiers, they certainly want to know that the people aren't being micro managed on the ground by politicians in washington. they want to know if they're going to be there they have what is in hess sere to do their job. as someone who has friends still in the fight i want to know they have that fles lxibility and ab to get the job done. i don't need to know all the specifics but that being said i do think congress should look at

the aumf and should vote on that. >> do americans deserve to know what success will look like? >> no question. no question. americans need to understand what the strategy is, what the potential end state is. now, granted, war is obviously fickle and things change. >> right. >> so i think that it would be very important for this president to continually update the american public on the progress. the now that he's there. he's the third president in in war. it was obviously. >> he inherited it. >> he's inherited it. >> but did you understand -- i think that he needs to continue to update the american people in terms of the jstrategy and we a >> can you this h morning define what success looks like? >> to -- stop any terrorists from having a safe haven in afghanistan and make sure you have stability in the region. that requires a lot. i think his statement last night

allows to increase the flexibility to deny terrorists. i would like to see more on russia's support of the taliban in the north. the i'd like to see more from this administration in terms of what china looks like and what the influence is there and how they play a role in stability there. i do think that he outlined something yesterday that was a little more concrete than we've seen in the past ten years. >> i mean it just sound z as though you have to stay for a long time if you're never going to create a vacuum that then soldiers have to stay indefinitely. >> is that a question? >> i don't know. it sounds like without a time line and without a clear bench mark that it's hard to know when mission will be accomplished. >> i think you have a fair point

there. and, again, that's why i believe it's important for this president to continually update the american people on progress, where we are. at the same time not giving a time line for withdrawals so folks should just outwait us basically and allow for that flex exhibit in there for the people to get the job done as needed on the ground. >> congressman thank you. we always appreciate having you on and appreciate your service. >> thank you for having me. >> chris? >> the reality is we've just seen a major shift in the press president. he wanted the country out of the of afghanistan. now, he is basically saying that we are all in and for a long time. we also saw something else in this speech. it may have been the first time that we saw the president almost admit he was wrong. this isn't the first big flip-flop we've seen from him. we're going to do some analysis of the three biggest and their

motivations next. boom. love it. [struggles] show me the carfax. start your used car search at the all-new carfax.com.

my original instinct was to pull out and historically, i

like following my instincts. but all my life, i've heard that decisions are much different when you sit behind the desk in the oval office. >> that's president trump coming as close as he as so far to admitting a flip-flop on a key ish you. we've seen several major shifts. last night's speech was a new strategy in afghanistan basically a rejection of trump's previous position. increasing troop levels by an undisclosed amount. before, he could not say enough about how badly he wanted the u.s. out calling any trp increase a plan hatched by "very stupid leaders." . it was an attempt to douse the flames that he whipped up last week equating white supremacists with those fights against them, given the problems with moral agency, his thoughts about david duke matter.

back in the day, he knew what duke was about. but once he started running, he seemed to forget. >> well you've got david duke just joined a bigot, racist, a problem. david duke endorsed me. all right. i disavow. i don't know anything about david duke or what you're even talking about with white supremacy or white stremt supremacist. i know who he is but never met david duke. >> then health care, citizen trump wrote about and talked about universal health care and candidate trump promised. trump also said the new plan would do more and cost less. the plan he ultimately agreed to wassens even close to that. it left 24 million people over about a decade without care, according to the cbo. the white house had to backtrack

for trump calling what he said, a goal, and not a promise and saying the important thing is more people would have the option of great health care. so you see some differences on major issues motivated by different things. let's discuss with your cnn political commentators mike shields and anna innavarro. he was using the metaphor of the military and what kind of moment they deserve to come back to but seemed like he was discussing what he didn't get done last week, the flames he fanned, as i suggest, of hate in this country and the most toxic kind. did you hear that and did it work for you? >> i heard it. i didn't hear it directly or expressly. i heard a veiled reference to charlottesville without even mentioning it or heather

heyerer, but he did talk about race. he did talk about the need for the nation to heal. look. could spend the rest of every speech he gives between now and the end of his term talking about this, and people are not going to forget the hurt and division that he fanned that first time he came out and then when he did it again on tuesday. you only get one chance to make a first impression. and he made it. the and he made it a terrible one. and it's going to stick with a lot of us. that being said, he should take every single opportunity from now on to be inclusive, to be the eunature and consoler in chief and healer in chief. it is part of the job description of being president of the united states. >> so, make, the task is you can say the right things but to people believe them. and that is one of the tests that the president was taking last night. so, to your ears what he said up at the top about what the nation needs to do to heal, do you

think that will be accepted by the american people? and to the extent that he's laid out a case for afghanistan that's so different from what he believed for so long do you think people will accept this is what he believes now? >> on the charlottesville thing, look, i disagree. i think the president made a huge mistake in what he said the saturday that it happened and the tuesday when he sort of at the transpore tation went off in a different direction that was very harmful for his presidency. i think what he said on the monday is exactly right and i think -- i don't know if people are ever going to believe him but i think one of the ways to try to get them to believe you is keep doing it over and over. i think if he didn't talk about it, people would say why has he moved on. i think if he puts it in every speech. if he talks to his own base of supporters, he can begin to heal this problem for himself and for the country by never stopping talking about this. talk about it every chance you

get. i think that's important for him. in eterms of the afghanistan policy, look, the president gets criticized all the time by his critics for being stubborn or not listening to people or never admitting he's wrong. you guys have criticized him for that before. the why won't he admit when he made a mistake. he literally in words said last night he changed z his mind, made a mistake and was wrong. >> he didn't use those words but it's the closest he's come. last night wasn't really the test. le he read a prepared speech. it does show that he adhered to a process that our leaders should always follow. it was deliberative, took time, back and forth, questions asked and eventually ses m and conclusion. he delivered it and executed. good for him. tonight's the real test. off the prompter in h front of people who will cheer whatever he says. will he stick to the same message that he gave at the top? will he say anything close to i

got it wrong the first time, now i want to get it right? >> who knows? h what we have seen from trump time and again is dr. jekyll and mr. hide. we don't know which one is going to show up tonight. we have seen consistently that the trump that shows up in front of base is very different than from the guy that reads from the teleprompter. there needs to be some consistency from this president. it is disconcerting for so many americans. think tonight in phoenix is a unique opportunity. the mayor of phoenix asked him not to show up because he was afraid of what would ensue. this is a unique opportunity in a swing state where immigration, where racism, racial profiling has been such an issue, for him to be a uniter, if he wants to. the but he cannot expect people to believe a word that comes out of his mouth if he can only say it when he's reading it off a teleprompter but when speaking

from the heart, off-the-cuff, he screws it up royally and what he does is throw a bone to racists and bigots and try to equate the long side with the right side. that will not pass muster. if he thinks -- going today and giving red meat to the base and do the contrary, it's going to pass muster and be good with both sides, no. he's in fact going to lose. >> mike, anna, appreciate it. the three most loaded words in politics, we will see. tonight what kind of speech he gives and mixed z messages to the american people. thanks for making us better here this morning. alisyn, to you. >> chris more nfl players making a statement during the national anthem but this protest was different. we have the report next.

all right. you had a dozen cleveland brown players taking a knee during the national anthem before their preseason game. we have the bleacher report.

>> 12 is the largest number we've seen. seahawks michael bennet who said during his first two preseason game said it would be take a white player joining. last night a cleveland player became the first to take a knee during the anthem. his wife eric ca is african-american and seth say at the tragedy in h charlottesville was a big factor in his decision. >> we wanted to draw attention to the fact that there's things in this country that still need to change, and i myself will be raising children that don't look like me. and i want to do my part as well to do everything i can to raise them in h a better environment than we have right now. >> all right. let's get four feel good from the sport the world today. venezuela celebrating a game-winning hit in the final

inning of the world series action last night. on the other side of the victory is defeat. know one took it harder than the pitcher. he gave up the winning hit but the coaches from the opposing team rish rushing to console him and these young opponents, the 11-13-year-old boys from venezuela giving us all a lesson in humility and sportsmanship and being there for someone in the time of need. >> this is so touching. that is sweet video right there of them hugging him and everything. thank you. >> you're welcome. >> all right. so president trump's entire white house arts and mew humanity counsel resigning in h the wake of the president's response to charlottesville. one joins us next. it's time for the biggest sale of the year with the new sleep number 360 smart bed. it senses your every move and automatically adjusts on both sides to keep you effortlessly comfortable.

[woman 2] what? [woman 1] i can turn it on and off in my wells fargo app. [woman 2] huh! i feel better already. [woman 1] good.

every single member of the president trump's committee on the arts and humanities resigned in protest over the president's

response to charlottesville. then the white house responded that president trump was going to disband the group anyway. an actor didn't think that was true. he tweeted this. donald trump you can't break up with us after we broke up with. laugh my funny ars off. i'm cleaning it up. he joins us now. that's a bad breakup. so. >> reporter: it was a simple breakup. >> via twitter. why did you feel the need to resign from the advisory committee? the committee was probably two times larger than this and we are appointed to serve until we are replaced. and so we -- those of us who stayed on after the inauguration decided to because we felt like the work we were doing was nonpartisan mostly in the arts education space and culture aldiplomacy space. we work with a lot of kids. it's now been moved to the

kennedy center by the way and still running vibrantly. after the president's charlottesville response i think most of us didn't feel that it was appropriate anybody and didn't want our names -- >> why this? there have been plenty of opportunities for you to act out, if it you wanted to. why charlottesville? >> well, we don't see this as acting out. part of it is when you choose to stay on between administrations, obviously we disargue with the republican agenda when the president went and attacked tra transservice members, thaetsd his right to do. our role, i think we felt was to focus on arts, education cultural diplomacy. we are advisors on the committee on arts and humanities. this is very much a cultural issue. i think the response is -- his response was the worse of who we are and we felt that's not who we are at all and this was an opportunity to show that. >> what had you been planning to

do on this commission that now you won't be doing? >> there are a few things. one, the cultural diplomacy piece general we had an opportunity to go to cuba. allot of that work obviously may have stopped anyway, given the president's stance on cuba, but i think one of the bigger pivotal portions is economics and arts education. a lot of people forget about the role of arts in h economic development and typically democrat or republican, if you have presidents pushing things like stem and innovation, the difference between innovation is often a vibrant arts program. absent that we may not be able to compete as strongly against other countries. we hope the white house would continue the way the previous administrations had. the arts education piece, the program had been moved slowly before we had all resigned over to the kennedy center. that is still very vibrant. >> let me ask you something.

here's the tension. you don't like what he said. doesn't represent what you think matters. so you step away. there's another side to it, which is stick in there, brother, because if you're there to fight the good fight, this is your opportunity. this is as close to the seat of power as you can get and you make the case that well you don't aer agree, have a different projection of that come out of that administration. now you can't. >> sure. the i understand how that could be something that you see, but i view it the other way, which is this is largely a dysfunctional government period. and you have a white house that has gone into federal agencies and essentially put in a freeze. the they're wasting ax payer dollars. we had these programs where you could push it to an outside entity like the kennedy ten center and continue it. we felt like this point where resigning en masse would send a message, the love we have for

each other, in ways that a lot of folks are doing outside of government, that if government is so dysfunctional and can't get anything done, what if we focus on things outside the government. you're dealing with a tiny fingered vulgarian who loves to tweet as a way to get policy done. we're better than that. >> magazine reference i heard there. well played. cal, "the washington post" saw this as sort of a watershed moment. and so they wrote -- they had this article where they said seven months into president trump's rein, the elites are striking back. from wall street to west palm beach and west hollywood the past week has been a turning point, perhaps even a i ittitip point. the growing numbers of cancelled galas and chief executives resigning is fur they have isolating trump. is that how you see it? are the elite striking back? >> i can't speak for other boards and commissions. i think in our case, the
