that was a really interesting discussion that you had with congressman adam smith.d said it would be a bigger debacle than afghanistan for the u.s. to take over the gaza strip and he talked about the costs financially and to the u.s. military. so there's certainly going to be a lot of debate on this and two clear sides on it for sure. >> i wasn't surprised to hear he wasn't crazy about the president's tactics when it comes to gaza, but it was interesting though to hear him talk about negotiating with the iranian regime and trying to make some progress there. a lot of concerns here in washington how close the iranians are to nuclear weapons. anita: big concerns. we'll go back to commander lippold. i believe we fixed his microphone and we look forward to hearing from him on this. hi, commander. i know you were able to hear my question, but you have extensive knowledge of the dangers in the region. do you agree with congressman adam smith this could be an abecle bigger than afghanistan? >> i don't. when you listen to the congressman, with all due respect, points on ira

when adam smith wrote about the invisible hand of free market capitalism, he forgot to mention it's theeflexes, lousy coordination, and possibly even some kind of neurological disorder. the poor guy needs to see a doctor. in short, stock prices do not somehow reflect reality as if by magic. they're as much a product of perception on wall street and the mechanics of the money management business as they are product of the fundamentals. i tell you all this time about short squeezes. it's the mechanics of the market. it can't handle the short sellers. and by the way, this is why it's possible for you to beat the performance of the averages by investing in individual stocks. if the market worked perfectly, you'd never be able to exploit any opportunities, because the whole point of the game is that there are spots you can spot stocks that are mispriced because there are stocks that are mispriced every day. so why do i bring this up? because when the action is irrational, as i find it, often it can be frustrating. i want you to be able to take advantage of these moments where stock prices ar

it on the campaign trail, including famously back in october at new york's al smith dinner, literally in front of mayor adams. in any case, the president's claim that these were all biden hires on their way to being fired is simply not supported by the facts. danielle sassoon, the acting u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york, was a trump appointee, a conservative federalist society lawyer who once clerked for the late conservative supreme court justice antonin scalia. the latest to quit top adams prosecutor, hagan scotten clerked for chief justice john roberts. he's a decorated combat veteran and was a rising star in the prestigious southern district. in fact, still up on the justice department website, six pages of press releases on important cases he's been involved with, including the successful corruption prosecution of the fbi's former new york head of counterintelligence. in his resignation letter today, scotten took the acting deputy ag to task, calling out bove, who has been at the center of this legal storm, for seeking the dismissal of charges against mayor adams. but in a way that co

i was at that dinner, the al smith dinner, and he said what he said about eric adams. and then he went on to rather strongly attack me. and so i am no apologist for donald trump, to say the least. but i also think it's fair to say we should objectively look at the facts when a prosecution brings a case. if the charges are weak, um, we should not defer instantly to the voice of prosecutors any more than we should any other part of the government or the private sector or anything. i looked at that case and i said something. something doesn't add up here. i don't necessarily assume it was because of anything that was going on in washington or anything political. uh, southern district is a place that's known to be a home for people of great ambitions. i experienced some of that myself in dealing with the southern district. in 2017. john miller was working for me at the time, but. >> the but they didn't. they didn't actually look at the strength of the case, though. i mean, that's that's the thing. i mean, i can hear where you're going with this, but they didn't actually lo

smith. senator, thanks for joining us this evening. >> thank you. reverend. >> it's so good to be with you this evening. >> let's start with the adams situation. the justice department finally filed a request to drop charges against the new york city mayor. last night, the motion was signed by the number two leader of the justice department or at the justice department after the lead prosecutor in manhattan and at least six others refused the order and resigned from the doj. doj. how big a deal is this? >> this is a. >> huge deal. >> this is. a shocking level of corruption and lawlessness. here you have in plain sight the president of the united states making a deal with the corrupt mayor of new york out front, quid pro quo. and what's really incredible. is to see the words coming out of the mouths of these prosecutors who resigned rather than follow the orders of the political leaders at the department of justice. these are people who are have sterling conservative credentials. they are not democratic judges or prosecutors by any stretch of the imagination, so that they wouldn't put up with it is, i think, a sign of how far donald trump is go

adams has gotten out of this case for explicitly political reasons. that's on one hand. on the other hand, all the january 6th, all the jack smith prosecutors have been fired. a lot of the january 6th prosecutors, not emil bove, but all the other ones, a lot of them have been fired. so the message is as clear as can be. we're going to reward you or punish you for your political views with the prosecutorial might of the justice department that goes against everything that's written on that door at the doj building. >> elie honig grenell john miller. thank you, andrew mccabe as well. coming up next, more breaking news which will likely please vladimir putin. the president, when pressed, cannot come up with a single sacrifice that putin should make to end the war in ukraine. later, the president takes fresh aim at fellow republican mitch mcconnell, the only republican who voted against rfk jr.. for hhs secretary trump questioned mcconnell's mental fitness and if he ever actually had polio as a child. >> anderson cooper 360, brought to you by the lexus tt. everyone's happy when it comes to taking a seat in the three row lexus tt exp
