operations, questionable time, and this person at the statements, and self promotion. whimpering, sniveling, crying. >> from the first day i came to white house said, this trump first of all, this sounds so office, and now, we're getting close to three years, i would apologist said, i worked with john kelly and he was totally say where's al baghdadi? much like that so-called phone i want al baghdadi. unequipped to handle the genius of our great president. call from two chinese leaders and we would kill terrorist >> that would be the white that donald trump's people admitted he lied about to try to house "yes" secretary, stephanie leaders, but they were names i calm the markets back in august. grisham. >> and she actually, in that never heard of, they were names statement, she actually makes that weren't recognizable and john kelly's point for him. weren't the big one, some good sounds so much like something he made up because the secretary of >> yes. defense himself who obviously >> when you have people around ones, some important ones but was on the calls more than the you that sound like -- again, this is, again, go back. president said he never heard they weren't the one, and i kept anything like that. saying where is al-baghdadi, and but this language, sniveling, he >> yes man, yes woman. >> go back and look. a couple of weeks ago they were able to scope him out. died like a dog. i'm on "snl" suddenly. these people are very smart. it's ripped straight out of the go back and look at the language they're not into the use of cell phones anymore. they're very technically playbook of saddam hussein, of not "snl" but look at the brilliant. you know, they use the internet language of what north korean better than almost anybody in moammar gadhafi, the worst of spokespeople say about kim jong-un and what they said about the world, perhaps other than the worst strong men. donald trump. but they use the internet >> there's a lot of question as to whether or not that could incredibly well. and what they've done with the have even been physically kim jong il and that's how they internet through recruiting and possible. talk. if you think that abu bakr al that's not now american press everything, and that's why he baghdadi died in a tunnel, how secretaries talk. this white house, by the day, is died like a dog, he died like a exactly was the president able to paint this picture of how he breaking from american coward, he was whim perring, traditions and sounding and

screaming and crying, and died in those final seconds acting more un-american by the unless he had live audio or day. frankly, i think it's something video stream in very close >> joe, when i read that, i that should be brought out, so that his followers and all of these young kids that want to quarters? put that aside and think about first thought it was from the"t what the president is trying to leave various countries, do. he's trying to paint a picture of how this guy died precisely including the united states, they should see how he died. in a way to antagonize his followers or his organization in onion." jonathan, i'm wondering, joe and the way it is trying to recruit. >> no. >> admiral, we'll get to the take yourself out of this for a mika have raised this a couple times already. where is mick mulvaney? moment here and try to imagine you rarely see him. yourself -- if i can, connect strategic importance of what we all the dots of what we're when you do hear from him, he get to, but again, just implicates himself in all sorts talking about here. of impeachable offenses, potentially. picture yourself a young muslim underlining un-american where is he? arab man, protesting the >> he is not been a visible language, and the sound of tire government in baghdad or libya. presence since that rather you have the president of the disastrous news conference in rants, saying he died like a the white house ten days or so united states trying to paint dog, he died like a coward, this picture of who or what isis ago and he has -- he made clear that he was not going to take was, talking about all of the the same approach as john kelly. hateful ideology that it john kelly, for a few months, wimpering and screaming. can you please explain to maybe had some success saying no to espoused. on the other side, if you're a the president, trying to rein in three of donald trump supporters young person who believes in who fist-pump when they hear democracy and reform, thinking that, the down side of that, and the region is going in a some of his more dangerous impulses. why the 44 american presidents different direction, protesting now eventually the president did on the streets with no reform, tune him out and by the end of who preceded him did not talk and you're suddenly drawn into kelly's time in office, they were barely speaking. about casualties on the war, this moment of where do i go, where is the recruitment of an it's unclear when he made these even if they were the most

organization like this go for comments but mulvaney has said heinous casualties like osama the next phase? you talked about how al qaeda from the beginning that he was bin laden, or you name it, or going to handle some of the other operations in the white evolved into al qaeda in iraq, house. japanese opponents, or nazis, you have al qaeda in yemen. he was going to let -- >> he's doing a bang-up job. isis is doing the same thing. why we didn't talk that way? you have isis splinter groups in >> he is going to let trump by north africa, isis splinter trump and we have seen where >> or quadafi in libya, for that has gotten us. groups in afghanistan. coming up on "morning joe," so the killing of al baghdadi example. in every case, joe, the problem from the house democrats himself, while is obviously leadership, iraq war veteran here is there's that internal symbolic, is not necessarily congressman anthony brown joins desire to kind of take a victory tactical in the sense it's going us. plus, the former point to destroy the organization. lap, but it's counterproductive. person in the coalition to and i've said this before, it comes across as defeat isis, brett mcgurk, is bullets and bombs kill un-professional. it's spiking the ball in the end terrorists. our guest. they don't defeat terrorism. "morning joe" is back in a moment. "morning joe" is back in a zone. and here's the real problem. we're losing big picture moment skin sin #17... questions of what are we going it's motivational for the other to do in the region to defeat in ideology or refrain it from side. >> yes. >> some will make the argument, expanding? and i think the president in his it's a deterrent. i don't think so. speech, in his comments, and to the point about the dogs, just i think that that tape will be added more recruitment to the played, particularly that image of the dog in the arab world, is fire because you're going to have a lot of people say this is how this symbolic leader of the well-known as an extremely evock organization died, according to the president, and that's going to be used to generate another tive, negative and that i think will be a recruiting tool that extremists who will be more the islamic state uses on the internet and i think for the vicious not just going after the united states but their proxies

record, they are better than and allies in the region. donald trump managing currently >> when we heard that sort of to conduct global operations talk after 9/11, this will only without owning a shred of too many after-parties. territory, after we took away the caliphate from them, which create more terrorists or more new neutrogena® bright boost with dullness-fighting was another good accomplishment, neoglucosamine. they still conducted a massive boosts cell turnover by 10 times drones will cause more for instantly brighter skin. terrorists, it did. attack in sri lanka, using the bright boost neutrogena®. the terrorists have become more internet to recruit proselytize deadly, more vicious and more (engines rev) and conduct the operation. hard to track down because they they will use this footage to are scattered. the only thing better than horsepower... motivate their follower, to >> the problem of these recruit more, it is really not ...is more horsepower. how we want to play this. terrorist cells going deep or (engines rev) >> well, it is actually, on a much smaller level, it is what underground, having information you call, basically, press from allies that can help us get if we were for everyone, information about where they we'd be for no one. are, that's the heart of the clippings from locker rooms where somebody on the other side with dodge power dollars, says something, you cut out the matter. the amazing thing about more power means more cash allowance. purchase now and get $10 per horsepower. press clippings and put them up president trump's comment about that's $7,970 on the srt challenger hellcat redeye. and use it to inspire other the kurds is they were a key source of information. people. and it is something we don't this information surfaced during want here. the summer. then the president makes this let's go, richard haas, go to seemingly impulsive decision to you, and talk about the impact allow turkey to invade the of the death. kurdish areas and they keep and we'll get into some of the cooperating. they don't try to push back and other things first. say, all right, we're cutting on

of cooperation here. obviously, i remember us being, one other thing i've been celebrating at least, most hearing the last day from u.s. wayfair's got your perfect mattress. whether you're looking for a top-brand at a great price. military officials, the area in americans, when zarkawi was ready to upgrade. which baghdadi was found, idlib, killed i believe it was in 2006, moving in. is an area where to the extent moving on up. 2007, t there's any power that has some or making big moves. really the inspiration for isis, and of course, that just led to deliveries ship free and come with a 100-night free trial. information on the ground is no matter your budget. turkey. more violence, splinter groups there's also talk of continuing or your sleep style. and we of course all celebrated, isis infrastructure in turkey, we have quality options for everyone. and we had our, on the deck of so search and shop. the missouri moment a little logistics, movement of people, save and snooze. bit, when osama bin laden was and rest easy, knowing that we've got your back. literally. and so these are questions. killed in 2011, and we were all that's what you get, when you've got wayfair. cheering, but of course, out of rather than patting turkey on so shop now. that, came the rise of isis, and the back as the president did, time for serious questions as we so i'm wondering, it's obviously learned about baghdadi hiding my moderate to severe i ulcerative colitis.ing out there south of the turkish but i realized something was missing... very important death, but do we border, what have you been me. make the same mistake again, doing? what information can you share the thought of my symptoms returning that we made in '06, that we to eradicate the last cells? was keeping me from being there made in '11, when we think the that's a key thing. for the people and things i love most. i know there's concern about it death of this one man is going in the military. so, i talked to my doctor and learned to end the movement that he was humira can help get, and keep, uc under control so successful in spreading? >> to ayman's point, you've been when other medications haven't worked well enough. >> the short answer, joe, is and it helps people achieve control that lasts yes, there is no such thing as decapitation, when it comes to looking into whether or not this so you could experience few or no symptoms. dealing with terrorists, because

whether you call them network killing dismantles isis and what humira can lower your ability to fight infections, ors movements, they're not the turks can actually do. including tuberculosis. narrow organizations that are serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, highly structured. >> that's right. what i've been hearing from including lymphoma, have happened; we're getting rid of the leadership essentially disables officials, it is, the president as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, does deserve some credit. serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. obviously, u.s. intelligence before treatment, get tested for tb. all the fighters. they will reform. community, u.s. military for a very symbolic and moral victory tell your doctor if you've been to areas they may splinter and so forth. they're very decentralization. where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, their in formality in some ways over baghdadi. is a degree of strength. but the organization of isis are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. so i think we have to keep the doesn't really rely on one accomplishment as meaningful as leader. don't start humira if you have an infection. it is in perspective. he's a very kind of big symbolic and more important, or just as be there for you, and them. leader. as we've been talking about for ask your gastroenterologist about humira. important, you got to take a step back and say are we putting the show, you know, it's a very with humira, control is possible. ourselves in a position where we can do this sort of thing again and again, as we will need to object tuesday organization. you have cells going throughout do. and now, i think the jury is the middle east, africa and out, or you've got to say it is south asia. going to become much more difficult. we are not going to have the forces on the ground collecting baghdadi while important the intelligence. we're not going to have partners symbolically, is not too important to the overall operation of the organization. like the syrian kurds and other so he was the fourth leader of kurds doing so much. al qaeda in iraq. there are still questions about the willingness of this administration to work closely there will be a fifth leader and with its own intelligence community. so again, yesterday was an sixth leader. it's not really dealing with the important day. ideology and that's what but we shouldn't exaggerate it. officials are telling me.

and i'm really worried about with the reduction of the going forward, whether we're going to be able to repeat, this footprint, not only the military because we're going to need to. but the u.s. civilian presence, >> well, this foreign policy it just shows this operation, achievement, mika, reportedly, how critical the u.s. is on the almost didn't happen. ground. there's nobody that can do what and it didn't happen because of the u.s. does. to the point of turkey, there's donald trump's witddely criticid a reason that the u.s. did not foreign policy decision. >> the "new york times" is launch this operation from reporting, citing multiple turkey, which is five military and counter-terrorism kilometers, as we've been saying, from where this is all officials quote for months intelligence officials had kept been going on. they did it from iraq. mr. trump apprised of what he that's because they don't trust the turks. had set as a top priority, the hunt for mr. al-baghdadi, the because they are some of the world's most wanted terrorist. militias are -- have relations but mr. trump's abrupt with the turks. this is really what's bothering withdrawal order from northeast syria three weeks ago disrupted officials right now and also to the meticulous planning under the point of the kurds, listen, i'll give you something way, and forced pentagon else. the european nations have been a officials to speed up the plan the kurds could have easily said for the risky night raid before as trump said, they were primed tremendous disappointment because i personally called but their ability to control troops, my people called a lot, take because they were fighting the last three days. spies and reconnaissance your isis fighters. and they didn't want them. they could have turned around and said, we've been fighting aircraft disappeared with the they said, we don't want them. the last three days. pull-out. we have problems of our own. they came from france, they came mr. al-baghdadi's death and the we can't help you out. from germany, they came from the raid on saturday, they said, the americans are very lucky the occurred largely in spite of, uk. they came from a lot of kurds stood by their word and

and not because of, mr. trump's helped the u.s. out. countries. and i actually said to them, you it's very clear that next time don't take them, i'm going to they may not be there. actions. those actions include allowing drop them right on your border >> he died like a dog, crying, and you can have fun capturing them again. the formally u.s. backed kurds to defend for themselves against screaming, whimpering. >> president trump with that the major turkish assault. delta force is the greatest warning to our european allies in his news conference military unit the world knows. however american officials said it shows america's reach. yesterday. joining us now, vice chair of the kurds continued to provide we can go anywhere at any time the house armed services and successfully help democracy committee, democratic information to the cia on mr. congressman anthony brown of and rescue people and kill our maryland. al-baghdadi's information after he is a veteran of the iraq war trump's betrayal and the kurds enemies, but those words uttered by the president of the united and a recipient of the bronze star. provided more intelligence than any single country for the raid. also with us, distinguished in a tweet, the syrian states, talk about a film clip lecturer at stanford university that an 18-year-old, unemployed, democratic forces call it a and nbc news and msnbc senior desperate, hopeless young person foreign affairs analyst, brett in egypt or in saudi arabia or mcgurk. he recently served as special five-month joint operation, in yemen or in iraq and iran president trump thanked the presidential envoy for the kurds after he thanked the global coalition to defeat isis look at what do they think? russians. >> i want to thank the nations you can't defeat an idea with -- at the state department. of russia, turkey, syria, and >> like i said earlier, it's iraq and the syrian kurds for brett, your latest in the going to add fuel to the fire "washington post" is entitled, certain support they were able for recruitment. baghdadi's death underscores i can see it plastered all over what we have lost by abandoning to give us. >> you can tell us what role the kurds played in this generally. the internet. this is john wayne bravado. syria's kurds. >> they gave us not a military i want to ask you what we lost role at all but they gave us reflects a deep insecurity in but also ask you about the some information that turned out impact of his death. to be helpful. donald trump. that insecurity was evidenced in

his comparison of the murder of the kurds. the kurds have worked along >> well, on your second question incredibly with us. but in all fairness it was much baghdadi with osama bin laden. first, it's a landmark day, and easier dealing with the kurds all of this has something to do after they went through three with what he takes -- what he b. really, i was thinking all day days of fighting. yesterday about the victims of because that was a brutal three isis, thousands of victims, baghdadi is a ruthlessly days. >> david ignatius, we will let particularly evil individual. you take it from there. what we heard yesterday, died he kind of institutionalized mass enslavement, mass rape, you obviously know this, you like a dog, is donald trump have been there several times, and you just have to look at mass murder, genocide, so it's a hyperventilating his what happened, and i'm sure you know this better than any of us, masculinity. landmark day and the credit goes the heroes were once again the i'm a man. i'm john wayne with my to our men and women who put these operations together. kurds, who did quite a bit more six-shooters. muslims across the region are and like david ignacious on your delighted. last segment, i spent a lot of than what donald trump said from baghdadi has been killing all reports and also our special muslims on a rampage. time in syria and sieiraq worki forces, our u.s. troops, men and they're happy this man is dead with them. truly remarkable and a tribute women in uniform over there, and in the ground. you've seen them, they are the what we do know is what donald to them and something that i trump did yesterday over 48 hope can bring the country best that there is. together a little bit. minutes will lead to the on the point in the op-ed, these >> well, joe, and mika, let's things don't just happen. this is painstaking years of recruitment of other desperate start there. the soldiers who do these young folk who will be attracted work. to an ideology because the and relationship building. united states is doing what it and developing access into operations, the special operations forces, drawn typically does. plus, he just told them what networks. isis really is a network. primarily from the army, but they're there for is to protect also from other services, are the oil anyway. >> wow. and so, what you want to do when just the best at fighting, the that is for sure. you have a major operation like this is the term of art is you want to bring mass effects to the network. ayman, thank you for being on that means, we're going to best fighting force in the this morning. collect a lot of information off

world. they operate just as a tempo, we'll be watching "first look this site, and we want to immediately be able to follow and locations, that are through on that to just collapse difficult, in a way that nobody whatever remains of the "morning. coming up, president trump foundation of isis. else can. they also work well in other admitted he withheld information and the fact that we have over on the raid from top partner nations which typically the last month basically don't want to be disclosed, but congressional democrats over fears of, quote, leaks. abandoned most of northeast it's been widely reported that ranking member of the homeland syria, the areas that we really france and britain have some security member, democratic helped claw back from isis, forces that have done similar senator gary peters is standing operations. by with his response to that their former caliphate, it will since the beginning of this war, decision. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. make it much more difficult to going back to 2014, our special is your wa. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, do that and our partnership with operations forces have conducted the syrian democrat forces because we've already left all basically nightly attacks on month after month, the traditional kurdish areas, isis targets. the clock is ticking on irreversible joint damage. they have killed in the they're either in the hands of thousands, probably tens of ongoing pain and stiffness turkey or russia and the assad thousands, using drones, jet are signs of joint erosion. regime as we consolidate in a humira can help stop the clock. fighters overhead, and other remote area near an oil field, it's going to be much harder to means of attack. prescribed for 15 years, sustain those relationships that just steady, relentless humira targets and blocks a source of inflammation allow us to do these things as a degradation of the enemy. that contributes to joint pain and irreversible damage. all along, the effort was to country. >> congressman brown, to you, humira can lower your ability to fight infections. target al-baghdadi the leader. the impact of baghdadi's death. and one of the ironies of the serious and sometimes fatal infections >> yeah, i also agree that this operation that was announced including tuberculosis, and cancers, is a landmark day. it's a very good day in the yesterday by the president is that it had to be speeded up, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, global effort to defeat isis and because of the consequences of serious allergic reactions, i think it demonstrates that u.s. leadership is critical. and new or worsening heart failure.

his, in many people's view, there's no other nation that has tell your doctor if you've been to areas hasty pullout of the u.s. forces where certain fungal infections are common, the will or the ability to bring from syria. i'm told by my sources that it and if you've had tb, together an international was days or weeks that they had hepatitis b, coalition, nor the military to get this done. are prone to infections, capability to reach the way that because we were losing our or have flu-like symptoms or sores. we do, whether it's taking on platforms. don't start humira if you have an infection. high value targets, taking them we were losing our ability to do an operation of this help stop the clock out like al-baghdadi or on further irreversible joint damage. sophistication. so that's one irony. maintaining the pressure that we need to main tan on isis so i a second is that the syrian talk to your rheumatologist. think it's a very good day but kurds, so-called syrian right here. right now. also highlights the point that democratic forces, continued to humira. we need to maintain a presence in syria, need to continue to act in close partnership with work with our partners on the the united states, even after we i'm working to make connections of a different kind. adp helps canyon ranch place the right people ground, in this case, the syrian had announced effectively a kurds, so that we can maintain in the right jobs, so employees like dave maximum pressure on isis. betrayal of them, leaving them can achieve what they're working for. otherwise, you'll see a to their enemies the turk, see reemergence. isis is alike a hydra, cut off you later, charlie, even then, one head and it will replenish, they continued to provide the reconstitute itself so continued kind of intelligence and other support that made this operation pressure is critical in syria possible. and this region of the world. so it's just a rare partnership, >> congressman, it's difficult to separate the skill, courage, you just have to be thankful for people who even when they in and expertise of the assets, effect have gotten kicked still military and intelligence, that are willing to help you out. final point that i would make, we had on the ground in northern syria over the weekend but you made it earlier, but the tone of president trump's president trump seemed to do his remarks, it is a great day for

everybody involved in this raid, best to provide a separation when he used the following and president trump made some tough decisions, hats off to him language, describing the death for that, but to call these of al-baghdadi. he died crying, screaming, whimpering, and he died like a adversaries, and say they died like a dog, and that kind of dog. given your background, given language, it is inflammatory, but it is so in contrast to what your military background, in a close quarters fire fight, given president obama said in his the noise, confusion, and the brief fairly dry nine-minute velocity of the noise in a account of the killing of osama firefight, how do you think it's bin laden. there is a fascinating passage possible that he was able to -- or someone was able to hear the words of al-baghdadi? in a book by ben rhodes, mr. >> sure, look, i agree with the president would you like toe display more footage of osama secretary. it's going to be important to bin laden's body, his burial, et hear the more detailed accounts cetera, and trump turned to him and said, and we are not going that come back from the field to spike the football. and from the combatant used that exact phrase. so in this case, you have more commander. president obama took nine minutes to announce to the world of that taking credit, spiking that we had killed osama bin the football, and it may come laden. president trump took 40 minutes back to hurt us but in all an of basically self-promoting operation where we had this piece is talking yeah?. himself, a lot of bravado and so what do you see? incredible support. >> mike barnicle, you want to i see an unbelievable opportunity. unnecessary and inappropriate follow up on that. language that both i think >> and off of what david said, i see best-in-class platforms and education.

inspires perhaps future isis inevitably, joe, there is going to be an autopsy, journalistic, i see award-winning service, and a trade desk full of experts, fighters but also may have forensic autopsy of this event disclosed or revealed some available to answer your toughest questions. methods and capabilities of our over the weekend and find out a lot more details about it. and i see it intelligence assets, so that 40 one of the details we're going with zero commissions on online trades. minutes should have been closer to find out about is the president's usage of language to to 9 and he could have i like what you're seeing. eliminated a lot of the language describe how al-baghdadi died, that he did to describe what it's beautiful, isn't it? yeah. crying, wimpering, running, td ameritrade now offers zero commissions on online trades. happened and al-baghdadi dying like a dog. ♪ himself. >> hey, brett, it's jonathan. yesterday in speaking with two people, both with combat two questions. experience in the pentagon, the first to follow up on that idea that he could hear this, or point, what do you make of the president's rather inflammatory that someone told him this, language and what sort of impact given the chaos and the noise could that actually have, and confusion of a close perhaps destabilizing, perhaps quarters firefight, that clearly inspiring future isis members or other terrorists? happened, it's going to be and secondly, you know, it's interesting to find out exactly never been too many moments how he picked out these sounds where republicans in the senate and these words and supposedly have been willing to break with the president, his syria policy uttered by al-baghdadi. was one of them. do you think this success >> i mean jonathan, the yesterday will pacify them or do you think that those complaints secretary of defense was asked will continue? and said no, i didn't hear that, >> you know, jonathan, maybe i had no information on that. >> yes, he tried to cover for because i've been so close to the president. this mission, just my main suggesting that maybe he spoke thbecause with nband after thleague pass on xfinityr. thoughts have been on what's to some of the commanders on the happened over there and our guys ground and was told that way but you can watch the out of market games you want- are doing this and all the all season long. victims of isis.

you're right he did not verify and with the all-new xfinity sports zone, the president's first part of that at all. and to the point, the first few you get everything nba all in one place- the statement, i thought, was minutes of the president's address, you know, sort of even notifications about your favorite teams. okay. obviously, in his question and sounded like one of, one of his answer kind of went all over the watch the dropped dimes, predecessors could have given monster blocks, and showstopping dunks. place, talking about shifting but it wasn't in the nine the entire mission out of minutes that barack obama spoke, plus get instant access to your teams very somberly about osama bin protecting an oil field. i mean, these things have with the power of your voice. broader implications. laden's death, this turned into i helped build the global a 48-minute free-willing news that's simple, easy, awesome. coalition myself, general allen, say nba league pass into your voice remote conference. that felt like any other trump it grew to almost 80 countries. to check out a free preview. that was a coalition that was built on the common effort to event. he took a shot at democrats. don't miss out. fight isis. the minute you shift the mission feeling he couldn't trust them to protecting oil or something else, you're going to lose all not to leak details of the your coalition partners, and operations. he took a shot at the european what's important about the syria allies saying they were not mission and what is so doing enough in the region. unfortunate is that we really the united states had to do it built it learning -- applying the russians are targeting alone. he gave over and over, he gave all the hard lessons learned you. praise to russia for helping, >> the russians don't want me to from the iraq war, the afghanistan war, and they all for their assistance because they let american helicopters be president and trump doesn't kind of get jumbled together but want me to be the nominee. and aircraft go over certain thins are coming across they're not jumbled together. russian-controlled air space. very, very seriously. the mission in syria was small, it was light, it was >> how concerned are you about sustainable. it became an attempt to just we never had more than really unleash more and more foreign interference in this 2,000 americans on the ground at election? grievances, as if he were at a >> i'm very concerned about any given time. rally stage, rather than from until the beginning of this the white house, announcing such foreign interference beyond me. a victory. everybody knows what's going on. year, when president trump and this is something where he ordered our forces to leave and then revisited that decision, we trump doesn't only not want to do anything about it, he's going had only lost two americans killed in action. is so clearly desperate for a out and asking for help. we tragically lost four this victory, his people around him help me, help biden from being year after that announcement was know he is in a very perilous the nominee. political time right now and he made.

is going to try to milk this one >> he's perpetuating. so, it was small. >> how is he perpetuating it? we weren't fighting. for as great as an we weren't taking casualties, we accomplishment as it is, he is weren't spending a lot of going to try to turn it into the >> by encouraging them to get american taxpayer money because involved in our elections. we had a big coalition and i most political win he can. >> but trump says russian think to simply lump that in >> he also took a shot at the interference is a hoax. >> he's an idiot on terms of with the endless war talk as saying that. everybody knows this. kurds, that was so interesting president trump does and to everybody knows it. basically give up that mission nobody doubts it. to me, the group of people who without thinking through the consequences of how you might gave the intelligence on the want to transition some of this ground and suggested that their space, i really think it's been >> a lot of people in foreign cooperation had been brought quite disastrous and it means about because turkish forces had policy community have been that we really cannot follow up concerned about joe biden, whether he's up to the task of attacked them for three days, it effectively after this hugely reduces the odds in the future, running for president of the we have the partner on the successful day in northwestern ground, we're going to need, united states. you've seen him slipping in the syria. so i think i was on the senate. yesterday, it was a victory, but what worries me, it was a bit of i briefed a number of senators a one-off, and it was polls. last week. last night's performance on "60 they really understand the short-lived and we're sowing the complexities of this. minutes" seemed to be very slid it's very thoughtful seeds for problems down the front to back. conversation about what to do. road, because there is no way >> no, absolutely. and they're concerned. that syria, and turkey, and what history suggests, by the and there's very little support russia are going to be way, front-runners when they get for sending u.s. forces in with consistent partners with us attacked but if they somehow a mission just to protect an oil against terrorism in the middle manage to survive it and hang in field. >> congressman brown, this is there, the same forces that led eddie. them to becoming a front-runner i wanted to follow up on east. >> and i was just going to say, precisely what was just said. are still present. so, i think a lot of people have it is, i wanted to ask you been very quick to dismiss vice look, we see the success of the delta force and bringing again, the consequences of these president biden saying that he's things, admiral, where the out of it, it's a question of al-baghdadi to justice in some president notifies the russians, ways. and we juxtapose that with but does not notify the top elizabeth warren or someone else.

that could still be right. president trump's policies in elected leaders in congress, but i think what he showed last syria. and we -- then we hear him talk something that never happened, night that it's way, way in my years of congress, or in following it, over the past premature to count him out. about deploying u.s. troops to just on the substance of what he quarter century. the president notified, or said, joe, this is real. protect the oil. what is the president or the the head of the fbi said what white house's strategy in this region? happened in 2016 and '18 was what can we -- what can we glean from this? is it just confusion, praised the russians first and nothing more than a dress then took a swipe at our allies rehearsal for 2020. incoherence? what do you take to be the the kurds, and of course, it was strategy in this region from so, this question of foreign interference from russia, the -- this white house? the intel community that made potentially china, potentially >> well, i think what we glean this possible, along with the special forces, and the intel north korea, iran and others who from this is there really is no strategy. i mean, you know, the president community that the president has have these capabilities, this is real. if there's a threat to american fluctuates from, you know, vilified since getting into the december of last year talking democracy coming from abroad right now, we spent the morning about drawing down all 2,000 white house. it was a lot of irony yesterday talking about terrorism. coming out of the white house. that's one. u.s. forces in syria. this is another one. a different kind of a threat. he delays it. but just as insidious in its then he implements it. on what was a very good day for way. almost putting into jeopardy we have to take it the u.s. military, and the this mission that occurred on country itself, but once again, saturday night, sunday morning. let me speak to the issue about the president seemingly unaware >> of course the director of national intelligence on the exactly what he is supposed to protecting the oil fields. hill talking about ukraine while i think it is appropriate do as commander in chief and actuallyfact, greater than a to do what we can to deny isis president of the united states. thermonuclear blast from north >> yes, again, all credit to the korea. access to the oil fields, you've also had the because we know that isis as special forces conventional fbi, the cia, you know, military forces who backed them up, the used the revenues that -- generated from the black market intel community, our sensor intel people. sale of oil to fund its systems, and the national you've had everybody -- security agency, and there are a department of homeland security operations, for the president to

lot of heroes. chief all saying that russians suggest that we will invite u.s. i was surprised that we did not interfering in america's democracy in this election is oil companies in, that violates the greatest risk. international law. that oil belongs to the syrian share this with congressional all of those people were leadership. i was supreme allied commander appointed by donald trump. government, whether we like the so, just, fyi. syrian government or not, and for four years, three years it's a very, very barbaric commander of southern command, mike barnicle, curious what your and two years senior military take was on joe biden. government under assad. assistant to the secretary of defense as a three star, you he certainly -- he seemed to be those resources ought to be used focused. know, over ten to 12 years in listen, with everybody talking one day to stabilize and bring this zone, we did this. peace to syria, not to profit about fund-raisers, talking u.s. oil companies. so it's very distasteful and look at leon panetta during the about their concerns with biden, violates international law. the possibility of looking for osama bin laden, he kept just the mere talk of that, as another candidate, the pressure congress informed. people have said earlier on this so i think that strengthens our was on joe biden last night to show, sort of contravenes 20 deliver. certainly from my reading of it, democracy, and certainly there is leaking. years of what we have been i will tell you the pentagon has he did exactly that. fighting against in terms of the a lot of leaks. >> he delivered. image that the u.s. is in the the national security council has a lot of leaks. there is a lot of leaking to go in talking about joe biden and middle east simply to gain around. if you keep it tight, with the his campaign right now, i can access to oil reserves. clearly recall, as you can in actual leadership on the hill, october of 2011, john mccain was in my view, you will be able to >> all right, congressman dead in the water. he's not going to make it. anthony brown, thank you very maintain operational security. he's done. much. brett mcgurk, thank you as well. let's figure out who's going to be the nominee. last point, i want to kind of well, john mccain had the very much. pick up richard's thought, a an upcoming book on james very good one, hey, will the resilience necessary to get the nomination. i think joe's base of support madison's tenure as secretary of gives him the same kind of kurds come back and help us resilience. and to the other point that you defense claims president trump told mattis to, quote, screw again, what is happening in the

phones anymore. they're not -- they're very technically brilliant. you know, they use the internet better than almost anybody in the world, perhaps other than donald trump. the -- eliminated one of the president's arguments to keep but they use the internet his federal employees from testifying. incredibly well and what they've as far as where it goes next, it's going to go to the d.c. done with the internet through recruiting and everything, and circuit court of appeals. that's why he died like a dog, guess who the chief judge is he died like a coward. he was whimpering, screaming, there? and crying, and frankly, i think merrick garland. it's something that should be brought out so that his despite these perilous times, followers and all of these young kids that want to leave various it's not dead. >> not dead at all. countries, including the united david drucker, what are you states, they should see how he died. looking at this week? big events over the weekend but >> no. still everyone will be talking about impeachment. >> admiral, we'll get to the -- >> i think impeachment is going to take over. it will be interesting to see if the death of baghdadi is able to the strategic importance of what quell some of the unrest among we get to, but again, just senate republicans who have been more upset about the president's policy in the middle east than underlining un-american language they have about impeachment. and the sound of tyrants. notwithstanding their concerns >> just where do you begin? about strategy. >> he died like a dog, he died

it will also be interesting to like a coward, whimpering and see, how house democrats continue to push the inquiry and screaming. it's just -- can you please if we're getting to a point explain to maybe three of donald where this is going to come out and we're going to start to see trump's supporters who fist pump more public hearings and public when they hear that, the downside of that and why the 44 interviews. >> david, thanks. american presidents who preceded we can't wait to see what burst him did not talk about comes forth from "the washington casualties on the war, even if examiner" over the next 24 to 48 they were the most heinous casualties like osama bin laden hours. you're on fire. or you name it. thanks, david. greatly appreciate it. our japanese opponents or our jonathan, you have a question for the panel? >> yes. i have a question for benjamin. nazis, why we didn't talk that we've seen, it's been a nonstop parade of witnesses and way. >> or qaddafi in libya, for officials testifying before congress the last couple of example. in every case, joe, the problem weeks. that's going to continue in the coming days. what in particular are you is there's that internal desire to take a victory lap but it's looking for here? you've mentioned that so many of counterproductive. it comes across as the president's defenses have unprofessional. it's spiking the ball in the end crumbled. what sort of testimony could we zone. and here's the real problem. see this week that could wound him even further? it's motivational for the other >> two key questions. side. >> yes, yes. >> some will make an argument the first is, when do witnesses that, oh, it's a deterrent. i don't think so.

i think that that tape will be start testifying in public? played, particularly that image that is, when do we go from the of the dog in the arab world is stage of private depositions so well known as an extremely the stage of public hearings or the release of those evocative, negative, and i think depositions? that will become a recruiting i do think that pivot is coming tool that the islamic state uses relatively soon. on the internet and for the probably not this week. record, i would say they're i'm confident not this week, but better than donald trump. they're managing currently to that's a key shift when it happens. the second thing is the -- you conduct global operations without owning a shred of know, do we hear from territory in ester, after we mr. cooperman and john bolton? took away the caliphate from them, which was another good those are questions that involve accomplishment, they still conducted a massive attack in both the willingness of the individuals to testify but also, sri lanka using the internet to you know, how effectively the white house is able to shut down recruit, proselytize and conduct the operation. they will use this footage to motivate their followers, to recruit more. the testimony of senior as well it's really not how we want to play this. >> well, it is actually on a as white house officials, and much smaller level, it's what state department officials who you call basically press seem willing to buck the

president's order not to clippings from -- for locker rooms where somebody on the other side says something, you cut out the press clippings, you cooperate. put it up and you use it to if we start seeing those people inspire other people. actually give depositions, that and it's something we don't want will be a very important moment. >> and i wanteded to ask dave here. let's go, richard haas, go to about william barr, attorney you and talk about the impact of general obviously has been doing the death. everything he can to cover up for the president of the united and we'll get into some of the states, to drag his feet. other things first. he's conducting extraordinarily obviously, i remember us improper investigations across the globe based on conspiracy being -- celebrating, at least, most americans when zarkowi was theori killed, i believe it was 2006, theories. he's humiliating himself. i'm just curious, how 2007, thinking that the guy that embarrassing was it for barr, how much egg is on barr's face really was the inspiration for isis and of course that just led after this federal judge's to more violent splinter groups. we, of course, all celebrated. ruling? we had our -- on the deck of the >> plenty. missouri moment a little bit calling the doj's arguments a when osama bin laden was killed, farce. they went so far, the judge did, and 2011, and we were all to question the department of justice's internal policy cheering but of course out of that came the rise of isis. against indicting a sitting president. and so, i'm wondering, it's saying that that policy has

never been adopted or approved by any court ever. obviously very important death, that's the get out of jail free but do we make the same mistake card that may have saved the president during the mueller investigation. again that we made in '06, that we made in '11, when we think so, the judge used unusually the death of this one man is going to end the movement that he was so successful in strong. spreading. >> the short answer, joe, is yes. there's no such thing as decapitation when it comes to dealing with terrorists because when whether you call them networks or movements, they're not narrow organizations that are highly structured. we're getting rid of the leadership essentially disables all the fighters. they'll reform. they may splinter. they're very decentralization. they're informality in some ways is a degree of strength. so, i think we've got to keep the accomplishment as meaningful as it is in perspective and more important or just as important, we've got to take a step back and say, are we putting ourselves in a position where we can do this sort of thing again and again as we will need to do and there, i think, the jury's

out or you've got to say it's going to become much more difficult. we're not going to have the forces on the ground collecting the intelligence. we're not going to have partners like the syrian kurds and other kurds who were doing so much. there's still questions about the willingness of this administration to work closely with its own intelligence community. so, again, yesterday was an important day, but we shouldn't exaggerate it and i'm really worried about going forward whether we're going to be able to repeat this because we're going to need to. >> well, this foreign policy achievement, mika, reportedly, almost didn't happen, and it didn't happen because of donald trump's widely criticized foreign policy decision. >> "the new york times" is reporting, citing multiple military and counterterrorism officials, for months, intelligence officials had kept mr. trump apprised of what he had set as a top priority, the hunt for mr. al-baghdadi, the world's most wanted terrorist. but mr. trump's abrupt withdrawal order from the

northeast syria three weeks ago disrupted the meticulous planning under way and forced pentagon officials to speed up the plan for the risky night raid before their ability to control troops, spies, and reconnaissance aircraft disappeared with the pullout. mr. al-baghdadi's death in the raid on saturday, they said, occurred largely in spite of and not because of mr. trump's actions. those actions include allowing the formerly u.s. backed kurds to fend for themselves against the major turkish assault. however, u.s. officials tell e paper that the kurds continue to provide information to the cia on baghdadi's location even after trump's betrayal and the kurds provided more intelligence for the raid than any single country. in a tweet, the kurdish syrian democratic forces call it a five-month joint operation. president trump thanked the kurds after he thanked the

russians. >> i want to thank the nations of russia, turkey, syria, and iraq and i also want to thank the syrian kurds for certain support they were able to give us. >> can you say what role the kurds played in this, generally? >> they gave us not a military role at all but they gave us some information that turned out to be helpful. the kurds. the kurds have worked along incredibly with us but in all fairness, it was much easier dealing with the kurds after they went through three days of fighting because that was a brutal three days. >> david ignacious, we'll let you take it from there. i mean, you obviously know this region. you've been there several times. and you just have to look at what happened and i'm sure you know this better than any of us, that heroes were once again the kurds who did quite a bit more than what donald trump said from all reports, and also our special forces, our u.s. troops, men and women in uniform over there. you've seen them.

they are the best that there is. >> well, joe, mika, let's start there. the soldiers who do these operations, the special operations forces drawn primarily from the army but also from other services, are just the best fighting force in the world. they operate just at a tempo in locations that are difficult in a way that nobody else can. they also work well with other partner nations, which typically don't want to be disclosed, but it's been widely reported that france and britain have some forces that have done similar operations. since the beginning of this war, going back to 2014, our special operations forces have conducted basically nightly attacks on isis targets. they have killed in the thousands, probably tens of thousands, using drones, jet fighters overhead, other means

of attack, just steady, relentless degradation of this enemy. all along, the effort was to target al-baghdadi, the leader, and one of the ironies of the operation that was announced yesterday by the president is it had to be speeded up because of the consequences of his, in many people's view, hasty pullout of u.s. forces from syria. i'm told by my forces it was days or weeks that they had to get this done because we were losing our platforms. we were losing our ability to do an operation of this sophistication. so, you know, that's one irony. a second is, the syrian kurds, so-called syrian democratic forces, continued to act in close partnership with the united states even after we had announced effectively a betrayal of them, leaving them to their enemies, the turks, see you later, charlie. even then, they continued to

provide the kind of intelligence and other support that made this operation possible. so, it's just a rare partnership. you just have to be thankful for people who even when they have, in effect, gotten kicked, still are willing to help you out. final point that i would make and you made it earlier, but the tone of president trump's remarks, this is a great day for everybody involved in this raid, and president trump made some tough decisions, hats off to him for that, but to call his adversaries and say they died like a dog, that kind of language, it is inflammatory but it's so in contrast to what president obama said in his brief, fairly dry nine-minute account of the killing of is a ma -- osama bin laden. there's a fascinating passage in a book by ben rhodes in which ben asked, would you like to display more footage of bin

laden's body, his burial, et cetera, and he turned to him and said, we are not going to spike the football. used the exact phrase. so in this case you had more of that taking credit, spiking the football, it may come back to hurt us, but in all, this was an operation where we had incredible support. >> still ahead on "morning joe," we've heard some of the reaction from washington, but what's the response in iraq to the death of the isis leader? nbc's courtney is there and joins us with her reporting next on "morning joe." us with her ret on "morning joe. i'm your cat. ever since you brought me home, that day. i've been plotting to destroy you. sizing you up... calculating your every move. you think this is love? this is a billion years of tiger dna just ready to pounce.
