somalia declared allegiance to al qaeda in al 2012. qaeda in syria was established under various names with the beginning of the syrian civil war. and then the only and then al qaeda in the indian subcontinent was established by ayman al zaw zawahiri, the emir of al qaeda in 2014. taking advantage of conditions in various areas and sending emissaries was how they expanded. it's one of al qaeda's successes in the islamic state as well in being able to spread their reach after 9/11. >> i have one quick follow-up. so how should we think post metastasizing about the significance of afghanistan distinct from these new theaters? because i think that's one of the questions for an educated lay audience that is elusive. >> al qaeda remained in the afghanistan pakistan border region. a few leaders led to iran, some are still there after 9/11 but most went to pakistan. and so that be that remained the most dangerous threat up until 2012, 2013, between 2008 and 2012 under new counterterrorism strategy, we really decimated court al qaeda. and then t

to speak to al-qaeda and iraq being a manufactured enemy, i read the flyers that al-qaeda published in content and handed to the city council president accusing him of being a traitor and telling him there going to kill him and his entire family if he didn't leave and stop working with the americans. it's ludicrous to say al-qaeda is an invention of the cia, that we have and poses an hour or so, we're killing ourselves in there. those unfortunate statements and don't help bring us toward some sort of successful outcomesterse nation's capital. >> ladies and gentlemen, i want to introduce to you a young man you probably have seen on television quite a bit lately, his name is lieutenant pete hegseth, army national guard, executive director of the vets for freedom. i've watched this young man and he has begun his career as a television pontificator pundit. no, none of that. patriot. it was the key word i was looking for. he's done a marvelous job of speaking for all of us and we're so very proud of him. pete.

that's why you keep saying al qaeda in iraq did this. it's ridiculous, those people are fighting for their country and you're never going to stop them. host: let's get a response. guest: i wish i was getting paid to do this and to be accused of being a government mouthpiece could not be further from the truth, i'm standing up as a soldier. if it sounds like talking points from the counterinsurgency strategy, it's because i believe in that strategy. it has nothing to do with me regurgitating what someone has told me to say, it's the experience of what i've seen and how this can work. to speak to al qaeda and iraq being a manufactured enemy, i read the flyers they published in samara and accused the city council president of being a traitor in that they would kill him and his entire family if he didn't leave and stop working with the americans, it is ludicrous to say al qaeda is an invention of the cia, that we have imposed this enemy on ourselves and we are killing ourselves there. those are unfortunate statements and i don't think they h

it's a haven for al qaeda. pr bonanza for the enemies around the world withdrawing troops in september no i don't. you can't say the surge hasn't worked is not something that can be done. you cannot effectively evaluate a counterinsurgent strategy in andnine months especially when you've totally turned on a ship implemented a new strategy you cannot say in nine months it failed it's too easy to make that argument without backing it up with real data a few car bombings outside of baghdad bring in massive casualties they are all unfortunate. it is not a reflection of a failed strategy. neither are very unfortunate americanca casualties then talk about metrics and lost american soldiers. we lost people and i was there and it breaks my heart to think about it and the sacrifices they made. but more u.s. losses inn the lat couple of months do not reflect a failed strategy they reflect an actual implementation and aggressive implementation of the strategy. pushing out a big basis into the neighborhood to protect the p

the internet has changed all of that, that is one of the reasons both al qaeda originally put out thespire magazine and isis followed in suit, trying to connect to people and putting it out in the english language, but also successful attacks like this inspire people, i can do that, too. it shows that conducting an attack and lashing out is accessible to people, even average individuals. but there's other global events, you look at what is going on in the middle east, where it is rapidly evolving but even october 7th, unfortunately it demonstrates that terrorism as an asymmetric tactic works, the palestinian cause which was al qaeda, they have conveniently used that to inspire some other folks to reach out and attack globally. >> let's stop right there for a minute because we have brand- new information on the investigation and we are joined by nbc news national law enforcement and intelligence respondent, tom winter, what do you know? >> some information from my colleagues, it is a team operation, when we see these incidents come up, but as far as this idea of other individuals in ne

we would not have let al-qaeda flags walk down sixth avenue. are we letting hamas and hezbollah terrorist organizations. they are not countries. there is no palestine by the way. but if you want to say they have a seat at the u.n., go ahead, go to town. number one take facial recognition of all these people. got make sure we are tracking all of them. we put people in the middle there, that's what we used to do. go back to that i'm encouraged speaker johnson columbia. i want to talk to the president and tell you this is not okay. the speaker holding one chamber in washington. now there is going to be a senate. there is going to be republican house and a republican president. i want to see this threat executed on these universities. >> lawrence: before he gets there, he has to get through a big vote today. today house lawmakers will decide if house speaker mike johnson keeping his gavel. bine brian meanwhile republicans on capitol hill are considering new rulings that would make it tougher to oust a speaker in this new congress. >> emily: alexand

but the people coming into power, the new leader of syria, he is a former member of elkind -- of al qaeda. they now control real territory with real weaponry. the truth is that is a real challenge. these terrorists are not going away, whether we think they are defeated or not. they continue to conduct these attacks. if we take our eye off the ball, they will achieve success not just like in new orleans, but in bigger and more spectacular attacks, which is their goal. >> we will take your calls. we are talking about the threat that isis poses to the united states. we are taking your calls by party. president electron has said he wants to scale back -- elect trump has said he wants to scale back the u.s. presence in the middle east. the u.s. has about 2000 troops in iraq, about 900 in syria. they are there to counter isis. what impact do you think that will have, the more isolationist or america first agenda? >> we had three presidents in a row, all of whom have wanted to reduce our force posture overseas, focus here at home. at times when we have done that we saw the disastrous withdrawal

for instance, eliminating zawahiri, leader of al-qaeda and we did without putting more american bootsd by ending the war we had been able to focus our energy and resources on more urgent challenges. there's nothing i can tell you with my conversation with both president xi and putin, nothing adversaries and competitors and russia and china built like more casinos continue to be tied up in afghanistan for another decade. for all those reasons ending the war was a right thing to do, and i believe history will reflect that. and from the moment i entered office i also worked to freeze many americans as possible,, being held hostage wrongfully detained overseas -- free -- >> we bought more than 750 americans bilats count in some cases took months even years of effort. like the prisoner swap with russia over the past summer. involving many of you and involving multiple countries, we joined complex negotiations at our request. another example of the power of our alliances, we didn't have these relationships those men and women would likely still be in prison. and finally i can report to the

former top fbi officials say it's foreign terrorism, isis, al qaeda and china. what's your reaction to biden here? >> well he has failed at keeping our country and its citizens safe, and that's been obvious. the facts and numbers speak for themselves. he did not keep the main thing, the main thing, and that was the threat of terrorism from terrorist organizations like al qaeda and isis, or from americans that are radicalized by those groups. look, it's so important that the trump administration starts day one effectively and efficiently because we need competent people in the white house to implement competent policies that reinforce our national security, that they don't undercut it like we seen the last four years. he has made this country a lot more dangerous place and has set us back decades with respect to our homeland security. liz: okay, let's thank you for that. let's show what incoming senate majority leader john thune and john barrosso, and senator marsha blackburn and mike collins all say the senate must now confirm trump's cabinet nominees notably pe

not isis, not al qaeda, white supremacy. >> sandra: think about that.three years the president was barring that white supremacy was the biggest threat to the homeland. >> we work every da local, state and federal law enforcement and assess as an organization we're facing the most complex and dynamic threat environment ever faced. the individuals radicalized, individuals willing to take attacks. their ideology spreads the gamut. we need to recognize that. the threat from isis and al qaeda hasn't gone away and supremacists hasn't gone away. we need to make sure we are taking in all of that, not overly focusing on one to the cost of the other. because american lives are at stake. we made over 1200 referrals to law enforcement this year alone. i can tell you every single one of those individuals regardless of their ideology wanted to take american lives. >> sandra: appreciate you joining us today. thank you. >> thank you. >> sandra: bill. >> bill: president biden is blocking a nearly $15 billion deal that would have allowed a japanese company to acquire u.s

isis is part of the global jihadist movement. al-qaeda is still out there and small organizations.hey're really fragments. -- fragmented but active and quite resilient. the reality they've lost their central controlling aspect to the organization where they would be directing networks to the accomplish certain goals and objectives for them. the united states played the heaviest hand in taking down the islamic state and also taking down al-qaeda central, so to speak, with usama bin laden and other leaders. sos what is happening is they still take safe heaven and refuge in federal jill states and countries where there is significant societal fragmentation. so you find them very active in states such as mali, niger, somalia, kenya, indonesia, afghanistan, pakistan, iraq and syria. if and the rights should really take some credit also for the -- the united states should really take some credit also for the fact it's been 23 plus years since 9/11, and there's never been a directed attack by a foreign terrorist organization. and the reason is multiple presidents have come to the same dec

in fact al qaeda, the group that , attacked on 9/11, has not regrouped in afghanistan. in august 2022, we launched a precision strike in downtown kabul that took out its leader al hiri with no american boots on the ground. we were told our allies would no longer trust us. having just returned from nato meetings in brussels and my 20th trip to the indo-pacific as secretary of state, it's clear our alliances, our are stronger today than they have been in a generation. you can see that in more than 50 countries we brought together to defend ukraine against russia's ongoing aggression. in the unity and purpose action we built to the challenges posed by china. we were told hundreds of americans and afghan partners would be left behind. yet today, every u.s. citizen who told us they wanted to leave during the evacuation, has now had the opportunity to do so. and to those americans who entered the country since august 2021, and have been detained by the taliban, we will not rest until we bring you home. since september 2021, the administration's resettled more than 185,000 afgh

terrorism has changed, expanded beyond organised groups like al-qaeda with clear political motives.sfits, young men in their bedroom accessing all manner of material online, desperate for notoriety. so the deaths of bebe king, elsie dot stancombe and alice da silva aguilar will, sir keir starmer says, lead to fundamental change. rudakubana pleaded guilty to their murders yesterday. obsessed by killing, he had downloaded details of an al-qaeda training manual and produced the poison ricin. he had been referred to the prevent programme, which aims to identify extremists and stop attacks. there was no follow—up, as he didn't appear to have an overarching motive. we do need to either rethink prevent or have an alternative scheme that deals with really high—risk people who are obsessed with violence. the example that i would give, thinking about america, is the terrible phenomenon of school massacres. that's not political terrorism or religious terrorism, it is just copycat killing. prevent has clearly got to be shut down and started again. we've been told on multiple occasions that it's

first, let's just take a step back the terrorist, isis, al qaeda, they did not get the memo that thetration decbiden administrationdecided s over. they have absolute infiltrated our borders. they are in the united states they do not know that we have a full picture of how many cells are here and how operative they are. we do know isis didn't get the memo the southern border is wide open for them infiltrated people across. we had earlier this year thankfully eight isis operatives rolled up scouting out sites in three different cities as part of a larger group of several hundred that ice i isis smuggled across. at least according to their still trying to track down. what will we do under president trump? i bet you, you will see it day one executed by stephen miller, my good friend close the border. shut it down. close it off. and then we begin kicking out the people we can find. arresting others and starting to clean this mess up. this is absolute under the umbrella of the national security council and stephen miller is homeland security advisor will have a leading role. mark: the othe

he was part of a terrorist organization part of al qaeda. to be clear, we do not support him.ported the syrian democratic forces and they have worked with groups to push against the syrian government. it is true that in the syrian civil war people of different factions fought against another but they have also fought together against assad. as far as i'm aware we have not supported him and i don't think we should. at the same time that i am glad that assad is gone and i am worried when this guy takes over and it is too that he is putting off -- putting on italian looking good for tv but the reality is that he has very deep ties to terrorist organizations and we should not support him and we should ensure that syria is a country that embraces all of its people and their significant minority populations like christians the jewish community and shia muslims. we not -- we want a country that is secure. if he is truly reformed great. i am not buying it but let us see what happens. i agree with the caller that it could be a problem. with concerns about the fbi there is no doubt that

has realized his dream of having -- because of that disastrous withdrawal, isis is coming back, al qaeda you have these prison camps for tens of thousands of ices fighters and families in eastern syria and nothing has been done about them, they are ticking time bombs. again i not know if we have the drones, special operators or intelligence focused on all these threats until we get inside the system and really take a hard look at what is going on. these resources are finite and if you have them read about climate change, and not about the real threats to america. >> sean: and iran, maybe three or 54 months away from a nuclear weapon, that would be scary. -- five or four. mike watts, thank you. republicans are in control of congress wasting no time to get to work after certifying dog trump's election victory the house and senate are getting ready to enact his policy agenda and that begins this week with votes on the lake and riley act that will allow for the detainment of the illegals who commit burglary or aft by -- like laken reilly's killer did. the open border they have enjoyed under

there are groups such as telegram with pro isis accounts and pro al qaeda accounts and being shut downquickly as you can. they continue to rise up again. you shut down and they come up elsewhere. and the counter terrorism had an eye on this. there are communities also being founded and about trying to break the communities up both around the world but also around the u.s. as well. and that's what you have been to be looking for online. i know groups doing that. that is something has to be doubled down on and people have to look for the online propaganda and the communities that grow around it. >> huge task. benjamin hall, thank you. up next biden's weak response to the new orleans terrorist attack.
