everyone lives like a lance corporal.so the food that you eat, mre food, is it very good, or not so great when you are in combat? gen. mattis: let's just say it was not quite as good as the meal we had today, david. [laughter] david: eventually you got back into combat again because 9/11 occurs. your next assignment is to go into afghanistan and try to capture, i assume, osama bin laden, is that right? more or less? in the end, you go over there and you have the troops. why did you not capture osama bin laden? gen. mattis: i had an admiral who had read a lot of history. he said, "no one has held kabul in 500 years. fall back ong to kandahar, their spiritual home, and dig in. can you get the marines from the mediterranean and pacific fleet together," this three-star admiral asked me. the intelligence agency said they had osama bin laden. they were very pinpointed, so i had a quick computer study, and i knew what mountains on the pakistan border, if you put troops on them, they could see each other and block the two valleys

here now to discuss his experience applying for loans is lance, a small business owner.ace 519 and it's a retail business and you have applied to six different programs to try to get relief? is that right? tell us your story? >> it has been kind of an exhausting process for me, certainly not one that been at all streamlined. we were closed by the city of illinois on the 16th. i immediately went to the sba website at that point and applied for the disaster loans that are available because illinois had been declared a disaster at that point. spent two days pulling all those documents together. up loading everything. i received a confirmation on the 20th saying that my loan will be processed. i hear nothing. then 10 days later i get another email from the sba saying now that they're going to redo my application because i think this was after the cares act had passed but that as an incentive they would be giving businesses $10,000 grant would be within three days of finalizing the application. so of course that was a huge incentive. i redid the application. i got an approval

joining us now is atlanta's mayor, keisha lance bottoms.k you very much for joining us tonight. we really appreciate it. so, what happened in atlanta this weekend? suddenly it was legal to operate a hair dressing salon or tattoo parlor. did people just flock to these businesses? >> well, i've gotten mixed information on that. and first of all, thank you for having me. i've heard reports of people standing outside of salons, nail salons and hair salons. i think part of that is is part of the social distancing, not allowing all of the customers in at once. but then i've heard from restaurant owners and hair stylists and others who said that they absolutely will not open up until it's safe to open up. and i think the thing that is really heartbreaking for me personally to hear is that people are having to make this decision between putting food on their table and whether or not they go back into an environment that, by all accounts, people realize will not be the safest environment. and that's why i think it is incumbent on us as leaders to ma

marcher there, leisha lance bottoms, has been critical of governor kemp's decision to reopen the statethe mayor is joining us right now. mayor, thank you so much for joining us. based on what you've seen this weekend so far with businesses like hair salons, gyms reopening, for example, how concerned are you that now restaurants will follow suit tomorrow? >> wolf, i'm extremely concerned. and as an elected official, we often want to be right. but i can tell you that this is one that i hope that i'm wrong about. and i've said it before. i'll say it again. i hope that the governor is right and i'm wrong, because if he is wrong, more people will die. and this notion that we can somehow deal with more people who are sick is ludicrous, because we don't have a cure, and there are healthy people walking into hospitals dying from this illness. and so, simply because we may have a bed to offer them or a hospital room for them doesn't mean that we can save their lives. and i think that therein lies the problem. i understand that people are hurting economically and people don't want to have to mak
