their did not just have one idea about you know, the world and lifer. and -- and life. they opened themselves up and a lot of different ideas. eclectic, very reading family. they didn't just look at cookbooks or, you know, murder mysteries. they ran the gamut. they did have a lot of different books, subject-wise. >> i was told, when i first started working in washington, they are going to have to ask end -- you bring up something new, different, that people want to know about and ask about that. of questions they want to know. so i always try to figure out some question that the people want toof washington know about. and believe me you, they appreciate it. they really do. me often that i'm asking the questions they'd ask if they was there. and i'm glad of that. i can -- but sometimes the pressgton white house corps don't understand what i'm asking about, because they don't know enough about what goes on outside of washington. >> ha ha! >> and a woman starting in a starting a news agency was unique in the fact that very independent news bureaus were open. most were asso

. >> a lifer. somebody who has been in the agency, made a career there, got to the top.i would say it's a win for the agency the morale. probably a win for president trump in that he got the nomination through and she was approved. there was some controversy along the way. and this is probably a win for continuity at the agency. there has been some tension between the president and the intelligence agencies, notably the c.i.a. because of his criticism of the f.b.i. and the intelligence agencies in general regarding the investigation into russia. so the fact that he is there, pence is there. it was kind of a victory lap for the president. >> jon: you've teed up our second topic, the justice department watchdog now looking into president trump's claims that the f.b.i. planted a spy within his campaign. yesterday the president tweeting i demand and will do so officially tomorrow the department of justice look into whether or not the f.b.i./d.o.j. infiltrated or surveilled the trump campaign for political purposes and if any demands or requests were made by people within the

eric erickson said pro lifers, if you are upset about ripping a child out of his mother's womb please upset about ripping a child out of his mother's arms at the border. >> this was an explicit policy decision. as a deterrent to mothers or families bringing young children across the border. that is a policy decision by the president. i wouldn't defend it. he made that decision. the issue is that. then it is a question of the kids who the department of dhs has lost track of. most reasonable semi defense of the situation which is more than the administration has done. if this happened in any normal administration the president would say we are looking into it as fast as we can. the secretary of homeland security will be on television saying we care a lot about the kids. congress would be having hearings and deciding whether to pass legislation. we'll see if congress does something when we get back. what is striking is the president doesn't mind the story because it makes him look tough on immigration. there is no pushback from the administration. >> he is also -- he and his colleagues a

if i want to kneel because i'm a right to lifer against abortion and i kneel, i get penalized.kneel for climate change i get penalized. it applies to everyone. he reel it really actually insulted the owners. i don't think he brought this up. the question was probably posed to him. that's how it works. again, he is mind reading what the owners are thinking. what the owners are trying to do is guest pas get past thim so you don't have people kneeling over abortion or gun rights or climate change. it's about trying to move this thing forward so it doesn't keep happening because it's an inappropriate place for politics. nobody is going to want to watch the five to see us toss a ball around. it's an inappropriate activity for a political show. so, in response to that, politics are inappropriate at a sporting event. how has is this not ease understood. >> juan: i think the the nfl unfurls huge flag. >> greg: that's not politics. it's only political to democrats. >> juan: how about president trump saying people who kneel maybe you shouldn't be in the united states. not political. >> g

it is really about a person who's a career, dedicated lifer of the cia who would put the agency aboveself generally, is not a trained politician. and according to, again, great reporting by my colleagues, she seems like the kind of person who was willing to give up this if it was going to hurt her and the agency. >> carol, stand by. i want to bring in our guy at the white house, geoff bennett, white house correspondent. geoff, what are you hearing about the latest development? you heard carol say there's been split, if you will, discussions about support for carol -- excuse me, but here with haspel, and where that conversation has worked out. you can see in the tweet, sarah huckabee sanders just yesterday, as you know, just tweeted this -- there's no one more qualified to be the first woman to lead the cia than 30-plus-year cia veteran gina haspel. any democrat who claims to support women's empowerment and our national security but opposes her nomination is a total hypocrite. what are you hearing? >> well, i've reached out to sarah sanders and to mark short, for that matter, both of t

i've been there three times and know a lot of people at eior and a lot of it is senior staff or eoir lifers. they had the same leadership team for a flub of years and inconstitutional knowledge and 'er wrens we need to draw on and it's parent to balance that with new ideas and sort of bringing in people who are not -- have not spent their entire careers there, and we are trying balance the new ideas and new blood type of thing with the people that actually have gone through changes in the past, gone through differences in system, gone through upheavals and to sort of balance their experience this, institutional knowledge, their ideas of what works and what doesn't work, with new ideas we want to try to try to work on the backlog, work on hiring and things like that. that's probably the most interesting, you eek aspect so far. >> next we'll take some questions from the audience. where of there have been reports of -- how are you dealing with that? >> i don't know i would say there's a revolt. obviously there are individuals who disagree with the measures we have taken. there are arguments on

her father was an air force lifer, let's say. she traveled from place to place. she told her dad one day that she wanted to go to west point, only to hear her dad very gently remind her that west point did not invite women. that did not dilute her sense of service. after graduating from the university of kentucky, gina went on to work as a contractor with the tenth special forces work. it was at fort devin she learned about the c.i.a. a place where she could serve her country along with other women, doing clandestine work around the world. this excited her. in 1985, gina swore an oath to defend the constitution and began a 30-plus-year career of service at the agency. since that day, gina haspel has developed extensive overseas experience and served as chief of station in several locations around the world that we can't mention, but i can tell my colleagues that every time i have traveled abroad to a location that gina was the chief of station, i got the most thorough brief from the most organized station that i have had the opportunity to see. in washington, she

but the problem was the pilots of theseil helicopters were lifers. they 5 were 40, 50 years old and they hadn't signed up for an assault and apparently they were drinking, smoking dope, having realnd morale problems. but we brought in marine helicopter pilot and they'll be great. the problem was as a result, turned around and went out. another problem was in the sandstorm. a third through his black jock on top of the air conditioner for the engine and burned it out. finally in a very sad case when they decided to abort the mission flew into one of the c-130s that was full of ammunition andnd fuel and a lotf people lost their lives. the reason i mentioned this is twofold. on one hand, this was a doomed operation because the navy refused to put their aircraft carriers in the gulf. and he would say they view as burton. it could've been dangerous. of course, absolutely. except one thing. when the first gulf war to place in the airld force started flyig under the amaranth in iraq and kuwait, they drilled those aircraft carriers fighting to the polls and t

was drop [inaudible] but the problem was several fold, one, the pilots of these helicopters were lifers they were 40, 50 years old and had families and they had not signed up for an assault and apparently as harold described it they were drinking and smoking dope and having real morale problems and we said we brought in marine helicopter pilots and they will be great. the problem was they really did not know how to fly these helicopters. as a result, one of them with a little light went and turned off and came back and another got lost in the sandstorm. the third through his flapjack on top of the air conditioner for the engine and burnt it up. finally, in a very sad case one of them decided to abort the mission flew into one of the c-130s that was full of ammunition and a lot of people will suffice. now, the reason i mention this is twofold. on one hand this was a doomed operation because the navy refused to park their aircraft carriers in the gulf. you would say maybe it was prudent and it could've been dangerous and of course, absolutely, except one thing when we first gulf war took

i use the term lifer not divisively because 12 years later, i went back in the reserves to finish outy 20 years. i was in the army. but sometimes people forget that'sen hour would have retired as a lieutenant colonel had it not been for world war ii. they may say like they peace is our profession. but secretly, they want a chance for advancement. it's understandable. so, you know, and we now have what washington advised us to avoid which is a standing military. and we created a military cast both on the enlisted side and the officer side. i don't think it bodes well for the country in many ways. i recall that -- you know, it was -- it was -- i think it was beneficial to see the struggling ways, the rednecks who claim they'll never integrate old miss the morning had to take orders from a seal from harlem. >> yeah, i think you're right. the united states was the world's largest neutral nation for the first 150 years of its existence and made a very deliberate decision that was debated in congress openly in 1947 as to whether or not to take on this bigger role between the truman doctrine

thanks to president trump and his administration, we turn this page and mark a historic victory for lifer. this week, the trump administration win unveil new regulations called the protect life rule which will prohibit any organization that performs or referred abortions from receiving title 10:00 family planning funds. the protect life will will mandate that title 10 grant recipients be physically and physically and financially separate from abortion providers, closing for good the loophole that allows organizations like planned parenthood to receive title 10 funding. currently, planned parenthood performs 360 million -- 360,000 abortions each year. this will save thousands of innocent lives and ensure that title 10 funding supports actual family planning, not abortions. the protect life rule will also increase safeguards for victims of sexual assault. these victims who have already been abused. implementing the protect life rule will not cut funds that go toward family planning to support mothers and families every day. in fact, it will provide more money net for legitimate family plann
