interrogation of khalid sheikh mohammed, it led to the courier. that career lettuce where usama bin laden was. it's time for democratic senators to put the safety of you, the american people, ahead of their personal hatred of president trump. we need to confirm people, heroes like gina haspel, as soon as possible. without a doubt, she's an american hero. she is the right choice to lead the cia. by the way, claire mccaskill, where are you? heidi heitkamp, where are you on this? we need a strong cia. one that does not use the weapons of intelligence against the american people, like we've been exposing on this program. joining us now, nra tv country peter dan bongino. daniel hoffman. dr. sebastian gorka. we will start with you. daniel hoffman. i interviewed jose rodriguez, he was there. i don't like hearing the tape anymore because i aired at the last two nights my look skinnier. he was there, the information that led to the courier that led to bin laden came from that enhanced interrogation. we wouldn't have gotten bin laden without those technique

terrorists. >> john: khalid sheikh mohammed, the master mind of the 9/11 attacks. only three people and we stopped. congress passed a new law in 2008 to clarify what it meant. the legal regime is different now. gina haspel is coming in as the c.i.a. director, i hope, with a different set of laws and rules. we aren't going to struggle like she and i and others did after the 9/11 attacks to figure out what to do. >> dana: let me switch gears. rudy giuliani made news over the weekend. he likes to be out there and be on the offense. i have a specific question for you. i know your expertise is about the government and the way it is set up and the executive branch and relations to others. what do you think the ruling would be from the supreme court about a president having to obey a subpoena from an independent counsel? >> john: you are proving that you seem to have gone to law school already. that is a great question of the separation of powers. in the watergate tapes case the supreme court told president nixon you have to show up and obey a subpoena if it's issued by a

but for the american people's purpose, would you share for them who khalid sheikh mohammed is. >> mohammed was the mastermind behind 9/11. he also was behind the infamous bojinka plot in the philippines. tragically, he was the individual who personally killed a "wall street journal" american correspondent and filmed that heinous act. he also after 9/11 carried out an attack on a synagogue in tunisia, and he had other attacks planned. we were able to warn allies about a planned attack, for example, on heathrow airport. mr. nashiri was the amir of the attack in 2000 on the "uss cole" in which we lost 17 sailors. he also was behind the attack on a french ship, "the lindbergh," and he was the al qaeda chief of operations in the gulf and the arabian peninsula. >> i thank you for that. it's important to put into context when individuals are mentioned what their role was in terrorism and why they were the focus of not only the agency but law enforcement. with that, i'd like to recognize the vice chairman for any closing statements he'd like to make. >> thank you, mr. chairman. first of all, i wan

khalid sheikh mohammed. the mastermind behind the 9/11 atakes.if we talked to september 12, 2012 would they have a problem? >> many of them were briefed on this program when it was actually happening. john rockefeller was the top democrat on the intelligence committee told them to be tougher on these people. no one objected when it was actually happening. only when it was leaked and the political winds changed they started to become upset. >> julie: thank you very much, marc. appreciate you coming on today. >> bill: attorney for stormy daniels posting a report online claiming a series of payments to a company associated with michael cohen called essential consultants. about 200,000 from at&t. they're looking for government approval of a merger. nova, the firm with ties to a russian oligarch and 400,000 from a pharmaceutical company. the number of companies have issued statements about the relationship. the attorney claimed many of the transactions are probably fraudulent and illegal. he hasn't provided evidence to back up that claim. we mention t

absolve her from any inappropriate behavior in the videotape that was destroyed that showed khalid sheikh mohammed being waterboard. he says documents they are asking for don't exist. >> i'm not sure what documents they are asking for. if they are asking for those tapes, i think it's been clearly established those tapes were destroyed. otherwise, jose rodriguez who destroyed those tapes, he's been clear about flat he authorized the destruction of those tapes on his authority, and it was his decision alone. he ordered the person who was there to get rid of those. the only role that gina had in that whole thing was as his chief of staff he directed her to put together the cable telling them to do that. but it was done under his authority and released under his signature. brian: overseas experience, multiple asignments as station chief. this somebody appointed by a politician but is not a politician. the agency would revel in having somebody from the agency leading them. >> she has been described as the first woman in 70 years who worked herself up through the ranks. seven overseas assignments. with

one of them was khalid sheikh mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11. to be able to get bin laden. so i supported it wholeheartedly. i still do to this day. kennedy: many people in congress and the cia debate that assessment. is cheney right or wrong and is gina haspel the right man for the cia. let me ask bryan suits. >> thank you for having me. what did you make of the hearings today? >> she impressed me. she is a fairly unpolished, no nonsense person. she looks like a bureaucrat. her description of her time in the clandestine service is impressive. she has field time. but they feel like they have someone who knows her way to the h.r. office or the copy machine at cia. but that's not what she is being interviewed about. kennedy: no, it's not. we have a perceptual problem with the fbi and the doj. there are old questions unearthed in this confirmation process that casts a cloud over the cia and it doesn't seem to be extremely helpful when law enforcement has to do a much better job of earning back trust. is she the best person in this tumultuous time?

support role in the controversial program that included the water boarding of self-described khalid sheikh mohammed should disqualified haspel. >> the biggest concern, with the entire history of the united states senate, the senate has never confirmed somebody with an operational role in the use of torture. that would be a first. a new low for the country if she gets confirmed. >> the vote is looking very close coming down to a handful of senators and rand paul seems to be a no vote at this point. he indicated to us friday that he had nothing on the calendar to meet with her but he was certainly open to it, shep. >> shepard: some of the haspel supporters say that they see a double standard at work here. >> just for some context, john brennan was a top decision maker for the detainee interrogation program. he was at the table and making a lot of decisions on policy. haspel supporters say there shouldn't be a double standard here. brennan was confirmed under president obama with over 60 votes. haspel was a mid level manager at the cia and said she had no decision making ability on the waterboarding p

khalid sheikh mohammed after waterboarding revealed the ringmaster behind the bally bombing, that killed2 americans and 38 australians. he revealed the plan malasia, fly a jets into tower in los angeles and crypt september september 11 west. we got information out of them that avoided mats murder. gina haspel basically ran away from it. if we need to do that again, we'll do it. democrats should have said thank you for keeping more americans from being killed which is what the technique did. trish: in some ways i don't entirely know what they want to do -- >> absolutely correct. trish: that they are keeping us safe. whatever you need to do prevent another 9/11 to save thousands of lives you do. >> correct. trish: i think the responsibility must be enormous as head of the cia. >> huge. trish: you say it is unfair what they're putting her through because of that, but in other words, this is possibly a squeaker, in your view pretty crazy. let me go over to capri, get your reaction what we're seeing democrats do, your thoughts. >> sure. recently in light of the va secretary issue, the nominee

one of them, oh, khalid sheikh mohammed. and other former high-ranking official.emember jose rodriguez on this show said no water boarding, we wouldn't have found barack usama bin laden's courier and we wouldn't have got him. thank you for being a hero, haspel. more good news from the trump administration. from the first lady. melania trump unveiled a brand new initiative called "be best." it focuses on america's children, the hard issues that they face on a daily basis. the pillars are physical, mental well-being, social media use and ramifications for opioid abuse. here is what the first lady had to say earlier today. >> i feel strongly as adults we can and should be best at educating our children about the importance of a healthy and a balanced life. so today, i'm very excited to announce "be best." an awareness campaign dedicated to the most valuable and fragile among us. our children. >> sean: she speaks five languages. english is her fifth language. amazingntive and she -- amazing initiative and she deserves credit. on "hannity" we show the full picture of t

i'm very proud of the fact we captured the perpetrator of 9/11 khalid sheikh mohammed. we did extraordinary work. to me the tragedy is the controversy surrounding interrogation program, which as i have already indicated to senator warner, i fully understand that but it has cast a shadow over what is a major contribution to protecting this country. >> harris: chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is live for us in washington. >> thank you, harris. good afternoon. gina haspel testified for nearly three hours in this open session before the senate intelligence committee. this is way out of her comfort zone because she is someone who spent 32 years doing covert operations so she had cover for 32 years in the agency. today she seemed steady. she was not flustered. she took them head on about the controversial bush era interrogation that included waterboarding and the critics call torture. rather than dismiss the c.i.a. men and women who took part in that program that was approved by the bush administration justice department, she simply said that the agency wou

khalid sheikh mohammed. >> kimberly: she did not personally participate. >> juan: she ran the station>> greg: the escape hatch in the argument is always, it does not reflect our values. that's an emotional feeling. it's not based on any facts. the facts are our values survive because of our willingness to try and prevent the evil actions of people who want to destroy the world. that reflects our values. to say it's beneath us, please. we did bad things in wars to preserve our freedom. our values are the willingness to protect this country. >> juan: yeah, and we have a large military and we do it but we don't torture people. >> brian: enhanced interrogation. >> juan: it's called torture. >> kimberly: no. you have to follow the law. it was legal, vetted, something that was approved. on the books. she did not commit crimes. she did not engage in any kind of misconduct whatsoever. she followed the law. will president trump plead the fifth and the russia investigation? his new lawyer isn't ruling it out. that's next. the first survivor of alzheimer's disease is out there. and the alzheimer

been talk of reforms within the intelligence community and now this, general. 9/11 terrorist khalid sheikh mohammedsked to talk to senators about gina haspel, what is going on here? >> more politics by the democrats. they're desperate. they're absolutely in deep trouble. they're trying to work their way out of it. every time they try to do something with president trump he pulls off what he did in north korea, and what he is doing in iran. all those things the president is doing is for america. the democrats are doing everything they can do as did the previous presinto hurt america in the long run. liz: let's get to iran as you pointed out. thiss coming up as wel iranian lawmakers burn an american flag in parliament chanting death to america after they withdraw from the iran deal. u.s. oil off to 3 1/2 year highs, 71 bucks a barrel. a lot of media overreaction here. we're hearing from wall street u.s. companies will not be hurt. yes, boeing has one with $20 billion worth deals. europe will be hurt more, france, italy, germany, much more exposed than the u.s. your reaction to that? >> that may be tr

they think the enhanced interrogation program she oversaw was too tough on terrorists like khalid sheikh mohammed. the guy that was the mastermind behind 9/11. former vice president dick cheney, he's not buying it. he is dead on accurate. earlier today, he came out swinging. good for the formerayng vice president. watch this.nt >> what we did was in fact and consistent with our fundamental statutes. it worked. i think what we did helped ultimately produce the intelligence we needed to be able to get bin laden. if it were my call, i would note discontinue those programs. i would have them active and ready to go.yo you tell me that the only method we have this please, please, pretty please tell us what you know. i don't buy that. i think the techniques we use were not tortured. people are going to go back and try to rewrite history. if it were my call, it would do it again. >> sean: of course he vice president dick cheney is right. a interrogation of khalid sheikhkh mohammed, it led to the courier. that courier led us to where it's time for democratic usama bin laden was. senators to put the safety

. >> march 2003, khalid sheikh mohammed, mastermind of 9/11 is captured in pakistan.he cia whisks him away on this gulfstream v jet. destination? a prison now run by the cia. nbc news decided not to reveal the location of this so-called black site because of government concerns that terrorists might retaliate. but as first reported in "the washington post" and confirmed by nbc news, the cia has been interrogating scores of al qaeda suspects in two european companies at this base near kabul, and even at one point in thailand, all with little oversight. >> november 2nd, 2005. and it turned out to be the beginning of a week, one week of really intense pressure on the cia on that issue. i mean, there is that jaw-dropping revelation they've been running a network of secret prisons. the senate that week took up a proposal to create a commission like the 9/11 commission to look at what the cia had been doing to people in these prisons. that same week the judge in the case of an accused conspirator for 9/11 ordered the cia to turn over any videotapes or audio tapes of their i

pete: he helped interrogate khalid sheikh mohammed. woman. >> under her leadership the cia will be tough on terrorists. those terrorists who are still at large, still plotting to kill americans, still trying to destroy our way of life will be in greater danger because of her skill and expertise at the helm of the cia then if they appoint some political hack. >> gina haspel being tough on terrorists is the worth thing democrats have on her that is not much of a case against her. john brennan, jim clapper, director of cia for national intelligence for barack obama, not just support gina, openly advocate for her. on what possible ground the senate democrats oppose her other than the fact donald trump nominated her? steve: she will say through the committee and pass. pete: democrats don't like her because she was too hard on al qaeda? >> no. they don't like her because she was nominated by donald trump. pete: corrected, right. there is always another layer. steve: trump derangement syndrome. ainsley: how do you think she feels? pete: she p

he helped develop the enhanced interrogation program and personally interrogated khalid sheikh mohammednks. next time there is credible intelligence of another catastrophic attack, with the potential to kill thousands of people in the united states, maybe she can go to some unsafe place in the world and interrogate the terrorist and i will stay back home. a strong willed man like donald trump, if he is exposed to the waterboarding, is he not going to think like whoopi goldberg thinks. he may see his harshness and think that's exactly what we need. pete: could there be a world again where waterboarding isn't off the table? have we forgotten what done to us. >> if the bad guys ever get a nuclear weapon, can you bet your ass would be on the table again. pete: talk about a guy that would know. abby: the question with waterboarding, pete, you know this much better than we do, does it ultimately lead to getting useful information? pete: ultimately. you need to be able to verify the information that you get. you ultimately have to get to the point where they give it to you. you are dealing wit

continued support for for tune and gina haspel who oversaw the torture of detainees including khalid sheikh mohammed mccain wrote ms. haspel's role inover seeing the use of torture by americans is disturbing. her refusal to ignore torture's i'm mortgage is disqualifying. i believe the senate should reject the nomination. donald trump had this to say, gina haspel has come under fire because she was too tough on terrorists. think of that. in these very dangerous times we have the most qualified person a woman who democrats want out because she is too tough on terror. donald trump is clear that he wants to bring torture back. he's for it. what does that mean for our democracy and for our society? >> it's a disaster. we had a big strategic meeting, we said what are the big things that are going to happen, who is it going to happen to and what are we going to do about this. this is right after the election, it's like i cannot believe we are going to have to have this discussion again about torture. this was done. torture is a crime el ninos against humanity. there are three of them, torture, slavery and

i am very proud of the fact we captured the perpetrator of 9/11, khalid sheikh mohammed. i think we did extraordinary work. to me the tragedy is that the controversy surrounding the interrogation program, which as i've already indicated to senator warner, i fully understand that. it has cast a shadow over what has been a major contribution to protecting this country. >> i respect a number of those points. i'm just trying to get answers to questions that i think are particularly relevant. according to a press story today about the destruction of the interrogation videotapes, jose rodriguez told you in advance that he was going to take matters into his own hands definitely that conversation happen? >> senator, no, it did not. mr. rodriguez indicated to me that he planned to discuss with it the then director. >> let me see if i can get one more question in. when did you become aware that the cable authorizing destruction of the authorization videotapes had been sent? >> as chief of staff, it is a desk bound job. i was at my desk at least 12 hours every day. and i could see m

and i think that this gives people the creeps, but there is no denying what happened with khalid sheikh mohammedbin laden as soon as we did. as it was, it took almost 10 years. steve: geraldo, thank you very much. no longer the boy scouts. just the scouts. >> that's right. steve: geraldo rivera, the author of "the her ruled show show," coming soon to audio book. ainsley: jillian with headlines for us. jillian: get you caught up on some other headlines we're following including this. what were they thinking? a family, including a mom, holding a baby run for their lives away from cheetahs. tourists watching horrifying moments from a nearby car. >> what the [bleep] [bleep] oh, man. look at that. jillian: family getting out of their car not once, but twice, to get closer photos of the animals at the safari park in the netherlands. no one was hurt. maybe don't try that. >>> a company is trying to bring the digital the concept to florida hopes expanding nationwide. tablets would replace traditional license plates at cost of $700. creators hope they can display emergency messages like amber alerts. ele
