on a base near by to execute the raids like in al-baghdadi,? living in the villages? training the forces? you look at your experience of our tours what works? >> we need to educate ourselves more. i say we need to be start about being stupid, we need to realize, no matter your intentions if you are in a certain place for a language enough -- long enough time you are an invader. they will stop liking you. i walked down on a white carpet with mud on. there was mud on the carpet, i looked down, i said, no wonder they hate us. >> these guys that can do amazing surgical strike capabilities and advisers that is work at a local level. most people don't know that we have a present in colombia, but you look at way colombia turned in last couple of decade it has to do with long-term present of special ops, both direct action and advisory, my advice would be poll tiepoliticians know the eny better, and narrative betters and exploit this amazing strike we did in baghdadi. pete: i bet if you asked most politicians between se shia and sunni they could not tell you. >> there is the

rangers and green berets, guys like you have been a mara part of missions hike the that killed al-baghdadii would be remiss if we did not take the audience in the room as a plan for an operation like this. we start with you, what do you think and prepare? >> i wasn't there for this, but i was on one that went into pakistan be we thought that chae was dying were pretty high, i know they went in there, going in fighting. it is one of those situations you have the plan, you know what could happen. but you instead of a handshake, you get a hug from your brothers, ready to launch. no one is panicking. to say you are not scared, you are lying. but what an opportunity to fly with your where brothers in this area, after the head of isis. i am getting goose bumps, you know just i can hear heavy metal music playing in team room, hugs and pats on the back, and let's go. pete: what is the team room like before? >> similar to what you do but stakes are a little bit higher, we always got super amped up about that, we practiced and did our job, that is why we signed up, rid the world of terrorists that w

aku bakr al-baghdadi dead.it is liberating the generals on the ground isys was on the rise and president trump took office in the destruction of isis is one of the most amazing accomplishments and he did it with minimal loss to american life but liberating the generals to go after america's enemies on the run which is incredible ending the war in afghanistan. we will see how that brokers out but we all agree 20 years for the spirit to endlessly occupy a country that does not want western values or excepting western values when we said $5 billion a year just to the afghan security forces with hundreds of thousands of kids and inner cities that can't read them i think our priorities are backwards and president trump recognizes that wants to reset our priorities for america. [applause] and then i want to summarize and get to questions. i wrote this for a sense of urgency because i don't know president trump will be elected. i think he should win in a landslide based on his successes but what i want you to dismiss

al-baghdadi, dead. isys was on the rise and the destruction of isis is one of the most amazing accomplishments and he did it with minimal lies , minimal loss to american life but liberating the general to go after america's enemies on the ground which is incredible. and in the war in afghanistan and we will see how that brokers out but i think we all agree that 20 years, it fatigued the american spirit to the endlessly occupying a country that does not want western values, that is not accepting western values. when we spend $5 billion a year just to the afghan security forces and we have hundreds of thousands of kids that can't read i think our priorities are a little bit backwards and president trump recognizes that and wants to reset our priorities throughout america. i want to get the questions so i wrote this with a sense of urgency because i don't know if president trump is going to get reelected. i think he should win in a landslide based on his successes but one thing iwant all of you to dismiss

soleimani and baghdadi are dead.ris climate record, finally we have been able to put our enemies, produce shale and oil, not an accident. if you don't stumble into that, if it was every other president of both parties would have had a track record of success. when i was traveling the country talking to many people a common question i would get is what have these people been doing the last 20 years, looks like he's running circles around conventional wisdom so that is where i went to write the book, who did you interview? i talked to the president but i went to rally after rally of people who would wait hundreds of hours for a chance to see the president of the united states speak for 30 minutes was i went to a kickoff rally in florida where people spent 200 hours through tsunami like conditions and went to minnesota where people waited outside in smart back -- negative 10 degree weather, that is not normal, there's no band, it's not bon jovi, there is no comedian, sometimes there is a comedian with the president but

his name is baghdadi, tucker, say hi to big daddy and tell them we wish them well. >> tucker: godspeede on your side. that's for real. and is it working? >> sean: it is. so far. we're going to have a full report on that, big updates on my. great show as always, thank you for doing that and welcome to "hannity." we have major, major new development, good, bad and some really ugly in america's fight against covid-19, including some of the most disgraceful behavior i have witnessed. you see the best in people and the worst from the same group of partisan hack democrats and the mob in the media are just awful,

how baghdadi dead. and liberated generals on the ground.en donald trump took office in the district devices, one of the most amazing accomplishments and he did it with minimal loss of american life but liberating the generals to go after america's enemies on the road which is incredible. ending the war in afghanistan, we will see how that brokers out but we all agree 20 years fatigues the american spirit to be endlessly occupying a country that does not want western values, not accepting western values, and we spent $5 billion a year for the afghan security forces and have hundreds of thousands of kids in the other cities that can't read our priorities are backwards, donald trump recognizes that and wants to reset our priorities. i will summarize and get some questions. i wrote this with a sense of urgency because i don't know if donald trump will get reelected but i think he should win in a landslide based on successes but one thing i want all of you to dismiss from your vocabulary, i say this is tough love. he's not going to win in a land

his name is baghdadi, tucker, say hi to big daddy and tell them we wish them well. >> tucker: godspeed, big daddy, we are on your side. that's for real. and is it working? >> sean: it is. so far. we're going to have a full report on that, big updates on my. great show as always, thank you for doing that and welcome to "hannity." we have major, major new development, good, bad and some really ugly in america's fight against covid-19, including some of the most disgraceful behavior i have witnessed. you see the best in people and the worst from the same group of partisan hack democrats and the mob in the media are just awful, new lows for them. we are now in the middle of a national emergency, some are already -- they're actually calling for an investigation into president trump's handling of the coronavirus and the mob are calling for the coronavirus press briefings, important information in a national emergency. they wanted to be censored and more people that have a lot to answer for in terms of the question of possible insider trading, we will investigate. a lot of detail senate, new

the market history, most black on employment, asian unappointed, energy independent, soleimani and baghdadi iran deal is canceled, added the ttp, out appears climate, putting our enemies on defense because we produce our own shale in oil. that is not on accident, you don't stumble into that because if it was every other president in both parties would've had a track record of success. when i was traveling the country talking to people in this room, a common question i would get, what have these people been doing the last 20 years. because it looks like this guys running circles around the conventional wisdom. so that is where i went out to go write the book. they said who did you interview for the book, i talked to the president and partly in the book but also i went to raleigh after rally of people that would wait hundreds of hours for a chance to see the president of the united states speak for 30 minutes. i went to a kickoff rally in florida where people spent 200 hours outside through tsunami like conditions and then i went to minnesota where people waited outside and negative 10-degree

in the later days, remember it was about a third of the iraqi army that crumbled in 2014 when al-baghdadi declared isis -- and you look quite frankly other capacity elsewhere. look at afghanistan, it is not a success story in terms of our ability to build indigenous forces. one thing i want to come out of this study is so what does this mean for future policy? >> this relates to where i want to go for my final question, and then we will open it up to the floor for questions. in the book we didn't explicitly seek to address the question of whether the surge worked, you can't really talk about the surge without getting at that question. and even today there are a wide variety of answers which are reflected in the essays that people contributed to the book, everywhere in in -- from it was a six as, it was not operational stick to says, but a strategic failure, and different stray shuns between that. i'm curious how that review would assess that question. and what factors produced the outcome that you would attribute to the surge. it strikes me that if you look forward beyond the bush preside

remember, it was about a third of the iraqi army that crumbled in 2014 when al baghdadi declared the isis caliphate in mosul. and our capacity elsewhere. afghanistan is not a success story in terms of our ability to build indigenous forces. one of the things that ought to come out of this study is so what for future policy. and that would be a so what on the top of my list. >> so this actually relates to where i want to go in my final question, coincidentally enough. we'll open it up to the floor for questions as well. in the book we didn't explicitly seek to address the question of whether the surge war -- you can't really talk about the surge without getting at that question. we were unsuccessful in constraining our contributors from going after that question as well. and even today there are a wide variety of answers, which are reflected in the essays that people contributed to the book, everywhere from it was a success to it was a failure or to it was an operational success, but a strategic failure and various gradations in between that. so i'm curious how the three of you would

we felt abu bakr al—baghdadi was at work and she works hard so much —— we felt bad mum was at work becauseonavirus situation, so we wanted to do something to appreciate her, and it was a collective effort to do round of applause for the first one and the creativity kicked in. we try to think of different ways to spice it up each week. i saw that nige from your brother, are you the anointed spokesperson? —— nudge. you have to talk, john, come on! tell us about your mum. she is amazing, the most selfless person you could ever meet. she goes above and beyond for everyone she meets. she's worked in the nhs for over 30 years. her kindness oozes out of her. she makes jams for people, baked skates for families. we're just playing the pictures, sorry to distract you, we're looking the mexican wave. who came up with that one? she just absolutely loves when people... in an inspiring way, we just wanted to honour her for all the hard work she does, and yes, just know that she is loved all the time by us when she comes home. well, this is all about you, so give us well, this is all about you, so give

anybody who is not cheering for when obama killed osama, when we took out baghdadi, isn't cheering when a murderous incarnate evil individual like soleimani is killed by hellfire strike need to examine their conscience because i don't care what your politics are what god you pray to, don't care if you are an atheist or you go to bed with what your skin color is you need to examine your conscience if you think that person didn't deserve to become a pile of ashes. >> how did you get to know donald trump? >> i thought i was at the pinnacle of my career. i have special regard for our devil dogs. i was in my third year teaching at the war college, preparing for class before corey lewandowski who said i'm the campaign manager for candidate trump, summer of 2015 and he said mister trump is preparing for the fool gop debate on national security. what i consider meeting with candidate trump and helped prepare him for that debate. i said sure. i flew to new york, went to trump tower, to his office, sat down with him, closer than we are at his desk and gordy is in the corner. we had this incredibl
