al qaeda in the islamic, these guys fought in iraq or two. obama took their side and a nine month air war in special operations war to overthrow qaddafi who was murdered on the side of the road. the country plunge into absolute turmoil, violence and civil war that has been raging ever since that time. and then they took the jihad is, the guns, ship them off to sierra for the next regime change. as barack obama explained to jeffrey goldberg in 2012, the iraq war has empowered iran. don't you think if we got rid of the shot in sierra would help bring iran down? obama said absolutely. jeffrey goldberg said what more can be done to see this through, to make it happen sooner? obama says essentially, i tell you but i have to kill you. as i can't play jeffrey are classified clearances in high enough. what he meant by that was the united states had already launched a covid action campaign in coordination with saudi arabia, qatar, turkey, jordan, and israel to support al qaeda in iraq in sierra. they called the moderate rebels. they were nothing about

that justn al-qaeda tied actors a real al-qaeda terrorist guys who would help coordinate septimus levasseur bombed the uss cole in 2000, did the underpants bombing attempt to develop a plane over detroit on christmas day 2009. 2009. and obama was bombing them. but then and us get the politics because it's a complicated mess, but by the end of 2014, a had group from the with iran called the houthis came o out of the north and sacked the capital city. at the t time that happened and you can all read is in the "wall street journal" and great piece by barbara slavin in our monitor from january 2015, our current secretary of defense lloyd austin was a 4-star general, the command of centcom, and he made a deal with the houthis. you guys like telling al-qaeda? nouy problem. and he was following them intelligence to use to target andin kill al-qaeda in the arabian peninsula. that was january 2015. just two months later, barack obama stabbed the houthis in the back and took al-qaeda side against them ink the war launchd by saudi arabia, united arab emirates, and their ally including the united state

you guys like killing al qaeda? no problem and he was funneling them intelligence teams to target and kill al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. that was january 2015 just two months later barack obama stabbed a houthis in the back ate qaeda's side against them and the war launched by saudi arabia united emirates and their allies including the united states which helped with the war from the very beginning of h oba gave the green light can al qaeda has been a major part of the coalition this whole time. "cnn" did a story a couple of years ago about how the uae had given al qaeda american am rap personnel carriers that they were using not just to drive around and joy ride method were taken into battle. after al qaeda had seized the town of mccullough and this is really embarrassing for the coalition said the uae made a deal with them that they would integrate them into their militia. obama and the trump government and biden pretend that they still have have a working have a working stop qaeda and the arabian peninsula b

so you know the al qaeda dynamic is very different. there is again that the funk all qaeda continent group which is increasingly less of a threat. you look at the old-school al qaeda presence engage with african elements of the taliban and are they organized and coalesced in an effort against united states and even al-zawahiri being in downtown kabul isolated from the rest of the afghanistan-based elements as far as we can tell. the haqqani network wanted to make quite sure and use it in the cover up the try to pursue in the immediate aftermath of the strike. the al qaeda problem there is a problem that is much different than what i am seeing. with isis there are aspects that we have got to be very -- of. you look at the notoriety and the attack with so many afghans. in the waning months of august. you look at some of the historical activities the interest in encouraging europe and the united states and you look at their own threat for survival against the taliban and how much any external addition they have is about delegitimize the ta

al qaeda and isis inspired threat is still there.have had attacks by individuals and disruptions here in the country, individuals continue to be from a consumer propaganda by those organizations produced overseas and it is continuing to inspire individuals to act in the united states so i listen violent extremist threats, homegrown violent extremists tied to terrorist organizations, those are the ones most likely to occur often with a lower degree of sophistication and we have been concerned about from this al qaeda or isis transnational but i caution a little bit as the loan after threat is most manifest here in the u.s. as a threat we are concerned about, the pressure you need to maintain on al qaeda and isis network still want to attack in the united states, it is necessary because an organization that has sophisticated means of attacking innocentte civilians with got to be prepared for an appropriately organize ourselves as the united states government in a way september 2001 but organize based on lessons learned last 20 plus yea

al qaeda is still a threat. zawhiriwas killed in a comical sense, neither the group nor the talent and are willing to acknowledge that. they don't have an envious or declared leader though some strong candidates create an interesting dynamic. where do you see the center of gravity for al qaeda? they have some groups that are affiliated in syria. they have leaders in iran. where is the center of gravity of al qaeda today? >> guest: that is the question. i would tell you that in a way a lot of us in the ct world have a tendency to be dismissive, zawahiri was the singular leader, symbolically important and strategically important, of affiliate structures that brought different players to the table for decision-making on seeing prioritization against the west, and entrenchment in the community. his removal, i think, is a strategic and symbolic setback. the loss of him as the center of gravity really does test the ties that bind the rest of them, the young based affiliate, or its own expansion happening, whether it i

and then and then to the al qaeda forces.n the days of bush was the wellness war propaganda like glenn back. and that was part of the wildest dreams. in the war in syria they succeeded of the islam a fascist caliphate and the total casualties in iraq and syriaer and barack obama and then that would help to coordinate september 11. and then to attempt to detroit over christmas day and then i skipped the politics but by the end of 2014 a shiite group friendly with iran came out of the north you can read this in "the wall street journal" there was a great piece in the monitor. the current secretary of defense lloyd austin was a four-star general of centcom. and then to target until the arabian peninsula january 2015. and then and that were launched by saudi arabia by united arab emirates and their allies and then al qaeda has been a major part of the coalition the whole time. and those that they were using and then to take in the battle. and then with a couple of others this is embarrassing so the uae made a deal and that was th

special operations forces rolled into the tora bora mountains in pursuit of fleeing al-qaeda fightersuess where bin laden is. >> al-qaeda got away, bin laden went off to pakistan. but what was very striking is how quickly it turned to iraq. >> i never say anything's inevitable, but if i were saddam hussein, i'd be thinking very carefully about the future and i'd be looking very closely to see what happened to the taliban in afghanistan. the pepperoni on panera's new toasted baguette. is sliced a little thicker. to hold more flavor. so when fresh mozzarella melts over it... that detail... will be big. try the new toasted baguettes from panera. one dollar delivery fee on our app. hi, i'm jill and i've lost 56 pounds on golo. hi, i'm barry and i've lost 42 pounds. jill and i are a team. if she tells me to do something, i usually jump on board. golo was doable, it's realistic, and it's something we can do the rest of our lives. my name is joshua florence, and one thing i learned being a firefighter is plan ahead. you don't know what you're getting into, but at the end of the day, you know

dhs intel report indicating al qaeda is threatening attacks. federal air marshal get sent to the border. air national council weighs in. >> we need the american people to help, call congress, let them know up want air marshal in the transport agsz domain, not on the border. we're 23409 going to catch al qaeda in el paso, it will happen in a commercial airport in a commercial aircraft. >> todd: former dhs official joins me now, jonathan fahey. how can he not reverse this horrific decision in light of this new al qaeda threat? >> i don't know, i would say this is shocking or stunning, but this is par for the course with this administration, nothing trumps the open border agenda, they are willing to sacrifice public safety and national security. they will not put national security or risk of terrorism ahead of this open borders agenda. they have not done it any other time we have people dying of overdoses, crime issues and they will not change course. in one respect, marvel at their commitment to open border agenda, they are unwaivering on this. >

american strategy it led to the creation of the al-qaeda group, which, based on the claim of the united states, was responsible for the september 11 attacks on the twin towers of the rica world trade center. after the september 11 incident, laden was identified as the main designer of the terrorist attack on the twin towers. the united states quickly planned a military attack on afghanistan and 35 the day after september 11, the united states attacked this country arguing that the attack on afghanistan was a form of self-defense against terrorism . it did not receive permission from the united nations for this attack, and the illegality of this action swept the taliban government a month after it started. us airstrikes however collapsed the occupation afghanistan officially continued until now, with the continuation of the american occupation, the number of civilians killed increased and finally reached more than 31 thousand. it started widespread propaganda against some countries such as iraq, america accused this country of being related to al-qaeda and possessing weapons of mass dest

enemy was not the shia islamism of iran and has bola so much as the sunni radicalism embodied by al qaeda and its saudi bourne leader, osama bin laden president george w bush elected the previous year, had no choice but to take decisive action. we will not only deal with those who dare attack america we will bit, we will deal with those who harbor them and feed them and house them make no mistake about it. underneath our underneath our tears is the strong determination of america to win this warp and we will win it the president fixed the objective to overthrow the taliban regime in afghanistan, which for many years had provided sanctuary support and funding to al qaeda. secretary of state colin powell was tasked with preparing the ground before the offensive having served as chairman of the joint chiefs of staff during the 1st gulf war. and as a moderate in an administration full of neoconservative hawks, he understood that his country needed to act with the help of an unexpected partner . i was asked by a colin powell, the secretary of state to take on responsibilities initially for wor

authorities warned of a taliban attack, i should say al~qaeda.resident biden's response sending crucial air marshals to bail out the crisis. joining us now to talk about this and so much more, general h.r. macmaster. is terror back? is islamic extremism back. >> i think so. what is keeping us safe is remaining engaged with these terrorist groups abroad. right before the pullout from iraq in 2010 president biden said al qaeda is a shadow of its former self. al qaeda had taken over territory the size of great britain in syria and iraq and became the most destructive terrorist organization in history. but the numbers are on the rise. we turned over afghanistan. we abandoned our afghan partners. now terrorists are in charge of the state. they are in charge of afghanistan. one of the most notorious minister in the world is handing out passports to terrorists. pakistan is never stable, but it's getting much worse. just yesterday pakistani forces were engaged with a terrorist group along the afghan border. they have a perception of success, the victory

we've never had any, al qaeda, a killing like this.ve crime policies north and south of the border is hurting public safety and every single american needs to be really upset about what we are seeing. and i don't have all the details of this particular investigation but a 16-year-old and 10-month-old, wow everybody should be outraged. >> todd: i'm glad you mentioned al qaeda because if this was al qaeda it would have been swift and severe. so why does this administration seamlessly allow the cartels to operate with impunity within our own country? >> todd, that is a great question and what every american should be asking the politicians. the president back in september said that the drug crisis unusual and extraordinary presidential security, but yet this has continued to escalate. people need to get outraged. i hate to say it, but we've never seen anything like this in the history of the country. it will only get worse because the cartel, right now, we have this trial going on in new york. america should pay attention to the allegatio

september 11, 2001 perhaps one of the most famous terrorist attacks in modern history, when al-qaedarorists organized an attack on the twin towers on the building of the world trade center in new york and a number of other objects on the territory of the united states of america, i’m sure that many still remember the shots when a plane rams a building in the center of manhattan and then it was certainly perceived as a certain kind of apocalypse and some strange footage from another hollywood blockbuster on tv. i remember how in france all the time and uh, women's explanations, how scared they were. which of the seven ah, take it, and so on. this is the second common world problem. and everyone suffered for the usa, but the rojax is purely emotional in that we are not we can and cannot build international relations. on the basis of emotions, you still need to keep yourself from emotions. and this is very good, but they must remain in their place, and take, but important, serious, and international decisions need hatsuna. but this is a completely different approach. and when we now loo

after the fall of kabul, iran's program and you correctly forecast that the taliban knew where al qaeda's leader was inside afghanistan. >> right. >> so i'm wondering what your thought is about where the emerging terror threat is now. >> so, al qaqaeda is a problem that needs to be watched inn afghanistan. the bigger problem in afghanistan at the moment is isis. they are increasingly recruiting from neighboring countries, and those individuals are coming in where they're getting training from isis and the concern is that they might leave afghanistan, go back to their home countries and conduct attacks against western interests. think embassies. the bigger terrorism problem is actually in africa, all the way from somalia to west africa, where you've got both al qaeda affiliates and isis affiliates. they have control of huge swaths of territory. they have conducted local attacks so far. but western military bases in africa and possibly europe could be targets. if we're going to make a prediction for 2023, i would say we're going to see a terrorist attack against a western interest somewhere

instead, new intel for dhs reveals al qaeda of coming attacks on u.s.es will use new techniques and t tactics. executive director of the air marshal national council joins me no appearance on your, how much worse as the decision to move air marshals out of the sky to the border now that we have this al qaeda threat? >> well, todd, it looks absolutely insane. we don't understand why these decisions are being made. they are watching for weak areas and not protecting our aviation and going to the border. it is absolute madness. >> todd: and a letter to alejandro mayorkas the national council had dhs, how can you justify sending federal air marshals to the border in huge numbers when the border is in your words secure and there is no emergency? we have a major security incident right now affecting our aviation security. we have these brave men and women specifically trained to handle a tragedy or potential tragedy in the skies, yet these folks are on the border making sandwiches and serving as uber drivers for migrant spirit is that basically correct? >> th

when trump released 5000 of the al qaeda and isis right before he left office, he made a plan and an agreement with them and even tried to meet with these guys in camp david. that is definitely not a good idea. i want to know if the committee is going to investigate from the beginning, the entire plan trump had in releasing those people right when biden was in office. if you do not do that that will make the whole thing irrelevant. you have to start from the beginning of trump's plan when he released isis and al qaeda, 5000 of them. that is what you will have to address. guest: to the callers point, the republicans have been clear this will be a narrow investigation starting with abided administration's decision to pull out of afghanistan and the decisions going from there. as we said earlier i imagine the democrats will raise that point. they will bring witnesses to support that point. without control of the committee, that is only going to go so far. host: we have lots of calls with people concerned about the border. the border enforcement, security, you mentioned those be the firs
