army colonel jack jacobs. mr.r, let me begin with you, it's no secret to those of us who even don't report on the military that the f-35 has been a troubled program. but what could the president do assuming these contracts are well reviewed, written to span many, many years, what can you actually do when you're a president to change the trajectory and/or the payments? >> well, the president has the ultimate clout. when you're a part of the pentagon's staff here, you're treated as if a political appointee as if you're the summer help. people know you're a transient, you move out. and if you want to do anything significant in terms of changing anything, political antibodies come into being because they say, okay, so many people will be let go in a certain state if the program is canceled or if the program is basically changed. so you don't really have as much clout as the president. so when the president gets involved intimately as president-elect trump is doing, it really causes a lot of good things to happen. a lo

. >> colonel jack jacobs and i see him on occasion. this horrible deal with iran. this deal, you would have the prisoners back years ago. >> iran would still get money. >> do you believe that? >> let me ask you a question. i understand a lot of people are critical of the deal, but what deal wouldn't give iran money? >> we will never give you back your money. we will never give you back your $150 billion. that's number one. number two, before we start negotiations, you have to give us our prisoners. you have to give us without question, you have to give them back. you don't want them, but we do and it will help us make a better deal together. that's good for you. i would tell them up front, you will never get your $150 billion back. they are going to be such a wealthy and powerful nation, they will have nuclear weapons and they are going to take over parts of the world that you wouldn't believe and i think it's going to lead to nuclear holocaust. i will say this. the people that negotiated that deal namely kerry and his friends are incompetent. >> what are do you do

army colonel jack jacobs. a medal of honor recipient and msnbc military analyst. gabbard said? >> i agree completely. the thing is that most people have not been in uniform and, therefore, don't really know how skilled these officers are. how much experience they have. all generals have graduate degrees. and understand far more than the average citizen about the use of the military instrument of power. they are far less likely than people who have not served to use the military instrument or to advocate going to war because they themselves have been in the crucible of war and know how horrible it is. and they're also educated and understand that there are other instruments of power and the use of the military instrument alone is usually very, very bad policy indeed. >> colonel, do any of the three picks concern you, and if so, why? which one the most? >> i'm less excited about general flynn. he's a special intelligence operator. and you know, if you want to know something about what's going on inside russia right now or china, he's the guy to talk to. but his expe

for more, let's turn to retired army colonel jack jacobs, also steve clemens, editor at large for "the atlantic." thank you to both of you for joining us. a lot to unpack here, but let's start at the back half of the speech, which i think a lot of people will read as a message to donald trump. and there were some real specific moments there that jumped out at me. the president talking about, saying we are not going to defeat terrorism by dropping more bombs or fencing ourselves off. of course donald trump campaigned on that theme of bombing the blank out of isis. obviously the wall. he also said -- the president said, when we win wars, we do it without grabbing the resources of those we defeated. and donald trump made a point of emphasis in this campaign, saying we should have kept the oil. so a couple clear shots there, but colonel jack, what did you make of that? >> one thing to keep in mind is that dropping bombs on people is exactly the strategy this president's used. doesn't make it a bad thing. it's been very, very successful, as a matter of fact. targeted strikes on the infrastr

joining us now with very, very early thoughts on this, colonel jack jacobs as is former fbi profiler. good to see you both. this is reminiscent first blush to the attack on bastile day. police aren't trying to say that this is a terror attack but they feel like this felt like an attack. >> it sounds and looks exactly like not only the previous attacks, but also instructions that were issued by isis to sympathizers around the world to do exactly this and exactly now. as isis had more and more difficulty on the conventional battlefield they issued more instructions to sympathizers around the world to attack using these means because they have no other means available to them. >> and germany has been dealing with a number of attacks. so there was recently a backpack left nearby just in the last couple of days. angela merkel is already under tremendous pressure about her stance on migrants and other things. this comes at a particularly vulnerable point. >> this takes us back as jack was suggesting the incident that took place at nice. one took place in germany at another shopping center w

with us is jack jacobs, and valerie insinnia, reporter for defense news.t to talk tactics with what the president is doing, and get to the underlying core issues here. valerie, let me start with you. he talks about the f-35 cost overruns, is he right? can you give us context about this particular weapons program, the fighter jet program, and where it fits in? >> sure. i think that it is no secret that the f-35 had a lot of cost overruns back in the day. a lot of scheduled delays as well. but over the last couple of years, it made quite a lot of progress. this year there was a contract, and prices for a model went down to 102 million per copy. and the head of the program says that he wants to get prices down even lower about 6% to 7% lower in the next batch, which they're going to negotiate next year. but he also said just this monday that the program needs about $500 million more to complete the development. now, only about half of that is an actual overrun and a lot of that has to do with new requirements. it is a little bit of a mixed bag. there has been
