generals washington and hamilton will meet with general charles pinkney. they needed a good federalist who had military experience from the south because they were afraid that the french might attack the south, whether it be savannah or charleston so he will come up from charleston for this meeting along with secretary of war james mchenry. they will converse there for five weeks, and hamilton breaks out these detailed charts for regiments and so forth. he's organized how everything is going to work with platoons and companies and regiments and battalions. it's -- it's very organized. it shows how obsessive compulsive hamilton was with detail, including designs for uniforms and even the soldiers' huts. okay. he was a little bit of an amateur architect perhaps, and after the five weeks are over in philadelphia, he'll then -- hamilton will then return to his office at 36 greenwich street in manhattan. he's basically trying to operate the u.s. army from that office space. there's be a encampment not too far from here. the only one we're aware of that we're aw

i will let the general take the question. gen.aylor: we do know that commanders on the ground are continuing to communicate with dsf, specifically on the airfield, we do have approximately 500 to 600 andsf that are assisting us with that security. >> back of the room. >> thank you, john. i will start with you, and i have a question for the general as well. what advice do you have to afghans who assisted the u.s. and now cannot get to the airport or cannot even get to cobble and now feel left behind? -- get to kabul and now feel left behind? sec. kirby: we have an obligation to help these individuals and families who have helped us over the last 20 years, and we have been focused on this for quite some time. there is a process by which they can apply for these visas, and the state department has now opened up the umbrella for other, with a call p1 and p2 opportunities, so i am not an expert on that process, but there is a process to follow and i highly encourage, if they are not already in the system, to get themselves into the sys

first, retired general david petraeus. he once led the coalition forces in afghanistan and a former director of the cia. thanks very much for being here today, general petraeus. what questions would you have for the leaders of our military as you look at the situation that is extremely tense as we try to get thousands out of afghanistan at this hour? >> that should be the focus. put the blame game behind us for now. that can be handled later. how can we meet the moral obligation particularly to the battlefield interpreters. they're crucial elements of what we did. they qualified for a special immigrant visa if they served two or more years on the ground. we owe them now. they put their lives and the lives of their families in jeopardy because of that service. what are we going to do to expedite what has been a terribly bureaucratic process for three administrations. keep in mind, that sid was approved at the end of the bush administration. we've never accelerated the process the way it should have been the case especially

generals washington and hamilton, will meet with general -- .they needed a federalist who have experience in the south. because they were afraid that the french might attack the self. so he will come out from charleston for this meeting along with secretary of war james mchenry. they were there for five weeks, and hamilton breaks out these charts for regiments. he has organized how everything is going to work. platoons and companies and regiments and battalions. it is small so very organized. he's obsessive compulsive with detail. including designs for uniforms and even the huts for the soldiers. after the five weeks or over, he returns to his office at granic street in manhattan. he's trying to operate the u.s. army from that office space. there is an encampment not too far from here, the only one where we are of that's been documented, and that's in scotch plains new jersey. it is an officer from elizabeth, just like all the other ones i've mentioned. the and that is aaron all didn't. he for some reason picked this site. so about 2000 soldiers

>> thanks, general mckenzie. i'm curious how american citizens will be expected to get to the airport and what the terror threat will be in the coming days and what the evacuation picture will look like for them. >> i think the terror threat will be high. i don't want to minimize that. we will work with the taliban and work with the next government of afghanistan in order to ensure that hour citizens are protected and that they have an opportunity to leave. as you know, we have a variety of leverage over what future government exists in kabul. i have no doubt the department of state will fully exercise that leverage. >> do you have any confidence in their ability to secure the city right now, the taliban? >> they'll be challenged to secure the city. i know this speaking purely practically as a professional. they helped us secure the air field. not perfectly but gave ate very good effort and it was significantly helpful to us particularly here at the end. >> last question for today, megan. >> are there any -- sorr

we all know what happens next general me does not come out to visit the flank general war and the chief engineer does not come out henry hunt the artillery chief does and that's kind of a whole whole different conversation before leaving headquarters. those sickles asked me. whether he was not authorized to post his core in such manner is his judgment should deem the most suitable need answered certainly within the limits of the general instructions. i have given you any ground within those limits you choose to occupy. i leave to you. so just so we're all clear look sickles clearly disobeys orders, you know clearly the spirit and the intent of the order is to prolong the left of the second core to that range of hills, but i think if you you know, if you're a guy like dan sickles, you may be feel like you've got some wiggle room here to kind of just, you know within the limits of the general instructions if practicable and things like that and all i'm saying is between you have this going on between two guys who don't like each other who don't work well together. it's a recipe for disast

rush says i think that they're actually ruled by generals green, general knox and colonel hamilton. why do i want to mention the three of them? look at how hamilton is only a 20-year-old aide and he's already seen as influential as two senior generals in the american revolution. that says a lot about alexander hamilton's leadership ability and the confidence that washington placed upon him. we all know the general story of valley forge. here is washington's headquarters at valley forge. it's the isaac pots who was a wealthy quaker who lived in philadelphia most of the time. this is his summer house. so it only has one working fireplace in the main part of the house, built in 1773, and washington and his so-called family, his family were his aides and his secretaries, okay, not literally his biological family, but those who were living with him day in and day out from sunrise to sundown working together. and they will live at isaac pots house for quite some time, december of '77 to june of '78 aside from the hasbrook. you can see the beautiful wood paneling just like we have here. it

general donahue has experience in that. number two, commander on the ground has a spate of other duties to attend to including liaison with the state department, allies and partners also on the ground in kabul, turkish support element. there's a lot of things to do. we felt like this division of labor made the most sense given the urgency of time and what we are trying to accomplish. >> i do not know exactly, maybe the general knows when general donahue is getting there. suffice it to say our commanders are there at the airport, charged with securing that airport and keeping it secure and to doing what is required to keep it secure into get operations back up and running and to be sustained and they will and should have whatever interactions believe are necessary to accomplish that mission. i am not in a position now, and i won't get into a position where i am detailing every conversation. as i said to courtney, the best judge of how we are doing is how we are doing and the results we are achieving. let me get to helene. >>

so i understand what the attorney general is saying. but what you have to do is look at the attorney general's report. with respect to the woman who claims -- please let me finish on this point, because it's important -- with respect to the woman who has claimed the governor groped her at the mansion, the report says in its conclusion, on november 16, governor cuomo groped her breast. when the attorney general held her news conference on august 3 announcing this report, ann clark, one of the lead investigators, said, and let me quote her here, on november 16, in the executive mansion, the governor hugged executive assistant number 1 and reached under her blouse. under her blouse to grab her breast. if the attorney general drew that conclusion, don't you think they had an obligation to pull every email and every mansion record from november 16? because the first account that this particular woman made was in an anonymous -- please let me finish -- and it was in an anonymous interview with "the times union" and what she told "the times un

the general mentioned over 5000 today. we are not going to get in to -- don't expect daily updates on him any he troops are there at any given point. >> you said that there's going to be an investigation into what happened yesterday. are we talking about a full criminal inquiry with forensics people on the ground, interviewing witnesses? who is going to be doing that? how would you do that in the middle of a war zone? >> i would not classify it as a criminal investigation, but we will do what we can to figure out what happened and what we can learn from it going forward. it will be a complete, thorough investigation, and i will leave it to general mckenzie to describe for you the architecture of what that is going to be. but it is not like we haven't had to do this before, and we know how to conduct these investigations. [indiscernible] >> u.s. service mentors are doing and can double job, sacrificing their lives. my question, do you think the move from afghanistan -- >> it is not about u.s. controlled in the indo pacific.

world war i gave many a future general his first experience with combat.eisenhower was not among them. world war i brought him instead command of a tank training center at gettysburg, pennsylvania, where he prepared troops at the new tank corps for overseas duty. his performance won for him the distinguished service medal, but before he was able to get to europe the war ended. in the late 1920s after graduation from the command and general staff school major dwight d. eisenhower was assigned to france to prepare a guidebook on american battlefields in europe. it was his first direct experience with that continent. with the '30s came other assignments, climaxed by service under general douglas mcarthur in the philippines. for four years he worked with macarthur to help the commonwealth government work out a plan for its military defense. ordered back to the states in december 1939 lieutenant colonel eisenhower went to ft. lewis, washington, as executive officer of the 15th infantry regiment. in the dark spring of 1940 german armored divisions were crashing

i think about that more as general dynamics general sales.o the chief of staff to the then ceo, and i learned a lot about how a very effective, powerful ceo manages a company and learns a lot by watching their ceo do the job. david: and you felt you could do this job? >> no, that would be hubris. david: as you look at the opportunities women have to be chief executives, do you think they are much better than when you are coming along? what do you advise young women who want to be a ceo about the best way to prepare to be a ceo? >> i think there are more opportunities for women then they were -- than there were in the late 1970's. if it's young women or young men, i tell them, if you want to do well in the world, the part of your team, serve your team well, and do your job as best as you possibly can, and in functional organizations, that takes care of itself. in a dysfunctional organization, all bets are off. get out of it. i think a good leader needs fundamentally good character. good character is required. i think a smattering and a wholeso

the general said we have the capacity now.here is certainly enough airframes to meet the capacity we would like to have. that doesn't mean that the number of airframes are just landing and we are just taking them off. we are trying to make maximum use of the ramp space, of the aircraft. we will adjust that every day. the demand will drive how many shorties we fly. >> what is the best estimate of american citizens? >> as the general briefed, in the last 24 hours of the 2000 i got out, it was a mix. american citizens and family members as well as special immigrant visa applicants and at risk afghans. we want to take care of our fellow americans. we want to take care of at risk afghans and special delegate visa applicants. we are processing people as fast as we can. getting them onto our onward stations. we are trying to strike that balance every day. >> what proportion are women? >> i don't have the gender breakdown. of the 2000 over the last 24 hours, nearly 300 of them were americans. that includes legal permanent residents. i

>> general dynamics, before the big selloff, you recall in the reagan buildup, general dynamics was theargest in the industry. the ceo at the time, and i believe appropriately so to some extent, that it was important to liquidate at the end of the cold war, so he systematically went through and sold off pieces of defense, including what was at the time general dynamics' fighter jets business. so we are out of that business. david: so you're in the gulfstream. gulfstream is mostly a business jet, i think. with covid, i assume people were not flying around as much. were they buying jets? >> gulfstream is a pretty cyclical business. this was the third economic perturbation that i have seen since i have been at general dynamics, so what we have learned is to be a good cyclical and drive out costs after revenue declines. last year, we were the only jet aerospace oem to make a profit, a significant profit at $1 billion, and we did that by reacting to particular changes in the market. demand was down as a result of the market perturbation caused by covid, but demand has nicely begun to recover

general mckenzie offered some new detail. he said they've been having the taliban try and screen people. it's not a perfect process. some of the taliban are very thorough, some are not. nobody believes the taliban let the suicide bomber through on purpose. they don't obviously know for sure, but there's no reason to think it. somehow the suicide bomber passes through the initial taliban checkpoint. they are screened. he also noted that the u.s. has been offering the taliban some limited intelligence about this kind of thing. they pass through, they approach the marines at the gate. this is the second time the suicide bomber can anticipate being screened now by u.s. military personnel. the question is how so many marines might have been in one spot. that question came up. general mckenzie pointed out they don't know yet the size of the bomb, the blast radius, how much the bomb radiated out from where the marines were located at this checkpoint. when you search someone to come onto an airfield that is so secure like kabul, you

reporter: general, you did not answer the question about whether the taliban had met general mckenzie'sequest to push them further waving the airport. he said he asked you to close specific roads. gen. taylor: i know those -- that's exactly what general mckenzie said has been passed to his commanders to have those discussions with the taliban to take not only those specific measures as he mentioned and you mentioned, but other activities that will increase the security and facilitation of those getting through. the discussions? i can't report at this point what actions the taliban have taken in the last -- i know those discussions are happening that have happened. mr. kirby: i have to get to the phone a little bit here. are you there, laura? ok. we will come back if you're not able to pipe in. tony? reporter: can you hear me? mr. kirby: yes. reporter: yesterday the president said we will be in a circumstance where i believe numerous opportunities will continue to provide access for additional forces to get out of afghanistan. this is after the 31st. he said even if it means we provide o

the defense department, the generals? >> well, i'm sure that the are many ofs who are at fault including those of us who served there over the years including certainly the previous administration that embarked on a negotiation effort that resulted in a horrible outcome. i mean, if you go into a negotiation saying that you want to leave and you want to negotiate something that will, quote, allow you to leave, to do what the taliban wants you to do, you exclude the elected government of the country from those negotiations and you force the elected government to release 5,000 taliban detainees who go back to the front lines, that is not a good outcome. especially when you do consider that there were actual alternatives that might and could have been considered. the retention of 3500 troops on the ground seemed to me to be quite sustainable. to me, it seems preferable to what has now taken place. i don't know how you can compare the taliban controlling the country and taking it back many centuries at the least with a democra

what we know about general needs temper?nts, soft-spoken names like the snapping turtle you don't get that for nothing after nicknames like that he's under a lot of stress he is new to command remember we are not making excuses so general meade probably told captain meade staffers son in no uncertain terms these are the order so jack didn't want —- captain meade goes back and the staff officers are around and then to say we're in a position that cu and goes writing off so with that i will make the case that general sickles has exhibited some uncertainty about where he is supposed to be and i will state for the record with our danger of being called the monday morning quarterback i think headquarters should have paid more attention to sickles i've been lambasted recently in social media with the new book out. and that would serve them to pay more attention clearly proving to be a difficult subordinate. but at 11:00 o'clock going to means headquarters looking for assistance. and those to interpret the whole controversy in a co

we have to keep moving and then give the general a chance to close out. >> general, i know you said early, but at this moment in time, how do you believe the suicide bombers made it through check points, whether it's taliban or afghan forces to the marines? you think it was a failure or evade them and make to it the marines? >> clearly if they're able to get up to the marines at the entry point of the base, there was a failure somewhere, a failure by taliban operating with various degrees of confidence. some are scrupulous. some are good. some are not. i don't know the answer. you can be assured we'll look at it and make all of our practices better as we go forward. >> general, we're going to let him close out. general, any closing thoughts you might have. >> thanks, john. again, i'd like to say today is a hard day. the thing i come back to is the remarkable professionalism that the force on the ground is showing. as i noted before, ultimately at these screening points in particular, you have to get up close and personal to the people that you're bringing out. there's no way to do that sa

and then to general dynamics. i went there because i remember thinking very distinctly at the seminal times in your life when you have perhaps a bit of an epiphany. i sat at my desk in the afternoon thinking i cannot afford to put my children through college, and i happened to know a number of ceo's, including the ceo of general dynamics, and i called him and said i am going to be leaving here soon if you would be interested. and called a couple of the other ceos, and i was fortunate enough to go with general dynamics. david: you went to general dynamics in 2001. what was your initial job? phebe: i was in strategic planning. i think about that more as special projects as a ceo and i ultimately cap a series of jobs as i moved up the chain at general dynamics but i was also the chief of staff to the ceo and i learned how very effective and powerful ceo manages a company. i learned a lot watching the ceo operate. david: and you said you could do this job? phebe: no, that would be hubris. i never suffered from that. i
