the news comes across to you that they have saddam hussein. you say holy smok it's saddam hussein.he is? >> yes. all of a sudden the door opened and he was sitting there. i was brought out to identify him. you know, i was looking for certain things like tribal tattoos and a scar but to be honest with you, the second i laid eyes on him i knew it was him. i had been watching videotape of him and pictures of him for years. he was just sitting there. the funny thing is he was sort of like he was holding court. he almost acted as though they came here every saturday night and we were his guests. it was really very interesting way to kind of start off. >> what was he like initially? confrontational? the man you expected him to be? >> that first night he was kind of confrontational. he just had his world turned upside down by being captured. over the course of the next month, i found he was sort of a jumble of contradictions. he could be incredibly charming. one of the most charismatic men i ever met in my life. he could be nice. polite. witty. as we got to know him and as we started to q

saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction. let's not forget the entire western world at that time was of the opinion that saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction. the primary reason for that was saddam hussein wanted iran to believe that. and he went to great lengths to have that done. so, the error on the part of the western intelligence services was widespread. >> julie, take it a step further. this is what i'm also wondering. if you have a president of the united states here, a president trump, who then doesn't entirely trust his intelligence officials and community, how then can americans trust mr. trump's decision-making if he doesn't trust the information he's getting? are you with me? >> right. absolutely. i think the consequences of what he's saying here could be pretty great. the one thing i would caution is that a lot of things change, even from your transition to actually being in office. when you're the person who's having to make decisions based on the intelligence not just putting out statements and tweets

two, that there would be the ability to turn the keys over to a follow-on government after saddam hussein thrown out of office. >> we got him.

said musa hussein, talking to witness in afghanistan.ar is the 50th anniversary of the start of the cultural revolution in china. at the forefront were the red guards, fanatical students determined to help chairman mao eliminate any vestiges of capitalism. our next witness saul yeung was one of them. newsreel: the biggest nation on earth, china, is in turmoil. is china's ageing leader losing control? has mao gone mad, driven by the megalomania of the teenage red guards? mao had decided to drive the young people in a vast campaign to purify the communist party. there was to be a new revolution, a cultural revolution, a revolution in people's thinking. inspired by mao, the red guards went wild in their enthusiasm to keep the revolution alive. they worshipped mao as their leader and followed his instructions without question. they consider long hair and western—style clothes uncommunist. after reports of rioting, beatings up and even murder, the red guard seem to have gone too far. their leaders have told them to cool off and go and help wi

there was no al qaeda in iraq when hussein was in power.aking out hussein, there were a few hotties who came from other countries who formed this -- ihadis froma few j other countries who formed this movement in iraq. you have military officers who are running logistics there. >> there's so much to talk about in this book. if someone wants of this book and all of the interviews you did, how did they get? mr. gruber: it is on amazon.

"these are the same people who said saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction." now in that, some might say, look, he has a point. given what happened before, there were disagreements within the intelligence agency, within the cia. why not put out evidence if you're going to say russia did this on purpose to help trump? is he right to raise that analogy, is that too much? >> saddam had two-thirds of the weapons of mass destruction, biological weapons and chemical weapons. he had a lot of them. what he didn't have what some thought he had was nuclear weapons. it confuses the issue i think to talk about weapons of mass destruction engeneral. >> so do you think trump is right to raise that as a failure of the cia that makes him say that they are now wrong, again? is that a step too far? >> i think he has a fair point in stressing the importance of getting political campaigns to focus on truth, and on debates on the issues rather than on the lies that one side may generate. and -- or both sides in different ways. and i think that this is, to a certain extent, because

>> the president just smiled and said i'm a black guy named barack hussein obama and i'm president ofhe united states. i feel lucky every day. >> what is the legacy of barack obama? >>> he may be the most improbable president in american history. in 2003, he was the state senator from illinois. >> the intent of this bill -- >> an unknown african-american politician named barack hussein obama. he made a big bet that he could be elected to the white house. five years later, he was. >> preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the united states. >> he entered on a wave of hope and promise. he leaves office with robust approval rates. that places him in a small club. dwight eisenhower, and bill clinton. by the end of his presidency, the country was consumed by a wave of protests so strong it had dashed the prospects of his putative successor hillary clinton and elected to the white house his polar opposite. >> make america great again! >> a man who promised to erase the obama presidency. how did it happen? to understand that, we have to ask, what is the legacy of barack obama? the

there was no al qaeda and iraq while hussein was in power. by taking a hussein, there were jihadi's who came from other countries who formed a small core particularly when the syrian civil war started. the reason why isis became successful in iraq is because you have former baath party members and sunni army officers who know the country and who have weapons and money for running military logistics. brian: there's an enormous amount of material in this book we are not talking about. if somebody wants this book and all of the interviews you did how did they get it? mr. gruber: it is on amazon. just do a search for "war: the after party." it is paperback and it is on kindle as well. brian: how much? mr. gruber: $19.95 for the paperback. i published the paperback first for the book events that i did when i came back for this event in april. i had an extra two to three weeks to do a little more cleaning up of certain things, aesthetic cosmetic things. in the that and then next several weeks, what don't have in the kindle is photos. by the time th
