first, is this person really osama bin laden? nd, what should we do about it if we determine that it is bin laden? and as a society, i think we don't celebrate that decision process, because it is slower and more contemplative. that's what farsighted is talking about. >> you contrast the raid with the iran hostage rescue which went badly. it was poorly designed in terms of the decision making? >> you know when they were actually deciding on the bin laden raid they had a number of past decisions that had gone awry. there was the iran hostage decision. there was the weapons of mass destruction during the iraq war all the way back to bay of pigs. and they looked at the kinds of processes you know that went wrong in those situations, the confirmation bias, and overconfidence. and they really tried to challenge their assumptions at every step of the process. that's the kind of thing that i think we can apply in our own lives. we tend to go with our gut, with our first impression of the situation. we actually need to take time, imagine

commander who oversaw the mission to kill osama bin laden joined a pam nel of veterans in dallas to talk about the future of the u.s. military. harris faulkner author of the book "9 rules of engagement: a military brat's guide to life & success" moderates the discussion. it's just over an hour. >> it's terrific to be here with you tonight. earlier this week, we were reminded of the 100 year anniversary of the end of world war i. you saw grave sites appointed, decorated, crosses, star of david, all cleaned up, visited by thousands of people, lots of attention worldwide, not only here at home for the sacrifice that those men and women and their families made on behalf of generations that would follow, in many cases we don't know their names, but then again, ladies and gentlemen, that's the nature of their sacrifice. it doesn't take long in that commentary you hear from historians as well as current political scientists who have insights about demographics and about changing trends in the national security environment and the country we live before comparisons are made between those days in

i was in the cabinet meeting we had after we got osama bin laden and president obama, who deserved a lot of credit, wasn't lauded this way. with each one of these cabinet meetings, they get more and more bizarre. >> there's a personal part of this, mona, too, the mattis move which i think did genuinely anger or upset a bunch of republicans and a not kind of lip servicey way. this is what he had to say about mattis which i thought was a striking illustration of the president's world view. take a listen. >> what's he done for me? how has he done in afghanistan? not too good. not too good. i'm not happy with what he's done in afghanistan. and i shouldn't be happy. i mean, i wish him well. i hope he does well, but as you know, president obama fired him and essentially so did i. >> what's he done for me? >> right. and don't you love that, and essentially. that's about as close as we get to i am lying. >> that's a good point, yes. >> look, honestly, you do wonder, do they keep the barf bags underneath the table there at those cabinet meetings? it's just beyond belief the lack of self-respe

he even went so far as to say he was treated worse than osama bin laden was in that raid, which is sort of a hard claim to make, considering that a navy s.e.a.l. put a bullet in osama bin laden's head and roger stone walked into court today. but this is the kind of thing that's being appreciated by the president and those close to the president who feel that they are confident that stone isn't going to flip, at least for now, although we have seen others, like manafort, also make similar suggestions, that they would never become a cooperator with mueller, and then they eventually did. >> phil, what's the white house doing to prepare for this report, if it does come out soon and there is going to be access to it, at least by congress, and potential by the public. there something of a war room behind the scenes? are they preparing how they're going to push back publicly? their pr campaign? >> to this point, it's mostly been outsourced to rudy giuliani and the legal team. in fact, we've seen giuliani try to pepper the ground in advance of the report, to try to color the perception of how i

who asked for national time like candy during the cuban missile crisis or obama when we killed osama bin laden or bush with nine eleven those were real national situations the problem is is that when we have a real national crisis two thirds of this country will not believe president trump based on all his past behavior to make his case for the walls still more trying to travel to the border between mexico and texas while that he was shown some of the contraband crossing into america. when i took the oath of all i swore to protect our country and that is what i will always do my administration has presented to congress with a field proposal to secure the border and stop the criminal gangs drug smugglers and human trafficking. with the cloak taking down to choose days crucial votes in the british parliament series a maze has a busy week trying to win the backing for heads of all steel but it's once again the prime minister was given a hostile reception by her own parliaments. the deal is dead is the deadest. i believe it is possible to have that future relationship which is deep in place with t

in between who is in charge and of course basically the chain of command goes all the way to osama bin laden of the time but of course someone like i've been the who was the military commander of a car that would decide who would be the. you know the leaders of these comes who are the trainers and the instructors most of them are veterans of the afghan jihad against the soviets and the post but there are some who came from out of military. remember we used to have people who used to be former egyptian military officer former syrian military offices. and or from kuwait even at the time who used to be even in the bodyguards of them out of kuwait even so they would bring in their military experience and in the rich the training experience of the operatives so are all kind of people records for grounds commanders getting paid like people in isis may who handles the money where does it come from well the money at the time used to come from donations also from that i'm months of blood to invest. and since i've done so generally speaking if you are looking at the guy the operatives who wear the mah

preparation for 9/11 came, where it came from, and that the taliban, saddam hussein, were behind it -- osama bin laden, were behind it. and they had control of afghanistan. the taliban did. , it was an amazing bit of negotiation by president bush, incredible help from intelligence and special -- ations, and special to special ops people interest our -- from our military. they were able to negotiate and agree -- an agreement with tribal leaders that ended up being called the northern alliance. contained of people who have become friends. people that love their country. and by october, we were putting in about 300 special ops, military, there's a great book called "horse soldiers" that delves into this issue. and a movie, "12 strong." although the ending wasn't quite accurate. our american forces were never to lead an operation, they were to support operations, which is what they did heroically. and by the end of february, 2002, there apparently was no organized taliban left in afghanistan. they had done an amazing job. the heroic fighting of those in the northern alliance, the didans, led by the genera

he is the person they talk about, they don't talk about osama bin laden.started life in a tough jordanian industrial called circa. not a good upbringing, he was kind of a bully he got involved in fights, alcohol, got a bunch of tattoos. but then as he got a little older he became ideologically very interested in islam. he went to afghanistan and became very interested in the holy warriors, the idea of jihad. he comes back after that experience and starts to plot against the jordanian government and gets caught pretty quickly and thrown into prison. here is a guy without real education or religious education. in prison he finds the environment in which he can do very well. he studies religion. he studies islam. he is the personal discipline to show himself to be ideologically committed and tries to use bleach to remove the tattoos.when that doesn't work he has a razor blade smuggled into the prison and he cuts off the tattoo that was offensive to islam. and he did it in a way that other convicts and inmates saw so he was showing people, look, i am completel

that they hosted osama bin laden. and that is the logic. at the same time when the president of the united states make a comment, one cannot take it for granted. >> so let me ask you this. let's hope for your sake that is what happens that there will be condition base action. you heard also talk about mercenaries. and president trump said many times there is a transactional quality to what he, the way he is engaging around the world and why not have mercenaries, guns for hire to go to places instead of sending americans. i was speaking to general mccristol and this is what he told me about black water and that mercenary group. >> so eric prince, the founder of black water, his sister is betsy devos, he is proposing this plan where all american troops get replaced by mercenaries and he thinks that they can fix afghanistan. that is dangerous thinking. and worse than that, if the u.s. continues to do this, it legitimizes it for the rest of the world. >> so he obviously doesn't think it is a good idea. and what do you think. and would afghanist

mattingly as a general and admiral mcraven, the man who led the raid and organized it that got osama bin ladenng to the defense of his long time colleague after mccrystal suggested he could never work for mr. trump because of his character. admiral saying in part, stan mccrystal is one of the great generals of this generation and the finest officer i ever served with. make no mistake. underneath all of these tweets and statements, there is dismay in the ranks that president trump is politicizing and bringing too much of his own personal political influence into the ranks. the u.s. military, not a political organization in this country. they serve the people, not the politicians. >> absolutely. a very important point especially this morning. thank you for the reporting from the pentagon. times up. it has been one year since women across the world began a massive campaign to change things and put an end to work place harassment and assault. what is next for the times up movement. >> times up has a big platform and we're going to use that platform but we are also working in alliance with so many

. >> also, if you're roger stone, you're comparing the raid of el chapo and osama bin laden and we heard the president saying he was very disappointed to see the fbi raid and to see it go that way. your former fbi, were you disappointed or was that par for the course? >> i find it incredibly weird that this is the hill they want to die on because this did not seem like an out of the ordinary arrest with a search warrant executed at the same time. i mean, we need to remember that the substance of the charges here are that roger stone was attempting to cover-up his activities. he was lying about it. he was trying to intimidate a witness, to change their testimony, so i think the fbi would have had a responsible grounds to believe that he might destroy evidence and on top of that, the kinds of threats that he was making to another witness were -- could be interpreted as violent threats. he was saying prepare to die and threatening to take away his dog. i think that in those kinds of cases, the fbi is going to make sure that they protect the safety of their agents and of the people that they

american people and the world that the united states has conducted an operation that killed o-osama bin laden>> this president now finds himself in a crisis of his own making. as the partial government shutdown is in it's 18th day amid trump's stand off with congressional democrats on one side and rush limbaugh on the other, tonight's speech is the latest gambit for a president looking for a way out. the address could lay the groundwork for declaring a national emergency writing trump hopes to use his bully pull president trump to convince vote that situation at the border is dangerous enough to warrant building a wall. and cia director and defense secretary under president obama. does this seem justified to you? discussion of a national emergency over a political fight over whether to build a wall. mr. secretary? >> well, as your program began, we saw past presidents use that very powerful forum in the oval office to address the american people either on major policy decisions or major crisis. in this instance i think the president is yoozing this moment to try to bail himself out of a polit

but then we find out sunday night when he goes on the air and says we've got osama bin laden. and then i find out later that was the moment they decided, the mission is a go. >> one thing i like about this sequence of photos is that it seems to capture kind of the presidency in like various states, very serious and somber kind of like whimsical with the clintons and with the photo of bush and cheney. so my question for all of you is, just can you -- can you talk about kind of the emotional like tone of being around the president? like obviously it is not -- every day is not a serious day. every day is not sort of like a loose, light-hearted day. it is a job, and like all jobs, there are highs and lows. so what's it like to be there when there is a low, and what's it like to be -- and i kind of think the public has a decent idea of what it is like to be around the president. but it is just sort of -- not much is going on? >> it's an office. first, it is an office. it's an office with serious responsibilities. and as a photographer, you're part of the documentation of it. you ar

to understand history and layered nuances and facts and conflating the rise of the taliban and osama bin laden with russia's presence, once you get rid of that, there's another option which is that the president has deliberately chosen to regurnl state the putin line, the russian line on this because he somehow needs to paint russia in the most favorable light and why is that? we need to help understand whether that's because it serves his agenda to appease russia, to say to them, you may have compromised me. we may have a problem here, but i'm on your side. and, look, while this sounds like conjecture to many people, this is what counterintelligence agents do for a living. when you combine it with the facts coming out of the special counsel inquiry, you've got to assume mueller's going to look at this, what is the motivation to make a comment that simply paints russia in the most favorable light? that's what counterintelligence is about. >> frank, also in your bailiwick, the question we asked rhetorically at the top of the broadcast, what does it mean for the russia effort for the president w

ronald reagan, the "challenger" tragedy, when obama spoke to the apprehension, killing of osama bin laden format to try and win a political argument. you only have eight minutes. you are reading off a prompter. this president isn't very good at doing that. he likes to freelance, as gloria suggests. he likes to ad lib. you can't do that in an oval office speech. there's no crowd. this is not his event. they may regret choosing this as the format through which they try to deliver a message. >> david, reading prompters is not that easy. >> it's not. the president is an effective commuter. he is better in unscripted moments. scripted moments are not his friend. he likes the crowd. he likes to freelance. this is going to be a test of his capabilities. >> you have the response from schumer and pelosi. i don't know whether they will read prompter. will they fact check him in real time? we don't know how they will do. >> they have a limited window. see how they do. >>> stick around. more news we're following. new information right now about the impact of the partial government shutdown on some ai

stone accused authorities of using gestapo tactics and called his treatment worse than osama bin laden's. in an interview with the the daily caller, trump wasn't pleased either, saying, i'm speaking for a lot of people who were very disappointed to see that go down that way, to see it happen where it was on camera on top of it. that was a very, very disappointing seen. the daily caller then asked, would you ask the fbi to review its use of force, its militarization when it handles cases like this? and trump responded, i think that's a good question for you to ask and something i will think about. why might he be so upset about this raid? a new court filing from mueller's office out today said they seized both voluminous and complex evidence including hard drives that contain several terabytes of information and span many years. and to top it all off, a new poll finds 62% of americans believe this president was aware that people like roger stone, michael cohen, paul manafort, tried to conceal information from federal investigators. harry, jeremy, ron are still here. what's amazing about t

confidence in the organization, whether it can reconstitute with a new leadership like the son of osama bin laden. on isis they testified they have seen evidence in the last two years that isis has used chemical weapons in the middle east. so that's another worry indicator as welsh dana. >> dana: thank you. for more on this, let's bring in bret baeier. take a listen to something christopher wray said about isis. something that was certainly a topic at the hearing. >> that's certainly the fbi's assessment. not only the russian continue to do it in 2018, but we've seen an indication that they're continuing to adapt their model and that other countries are taking a very interested eye in that approach. >> dana: bret, that was about russia. but i do want to play this bite from isis. >> terrorism remains a consistent threat and in some ways is positioned to increase in 2019. the conflicts in iraq and syria have generated a large pool of skilled and battle hardened fighters who remain dispersed throughout the region. while isis is nearing tear torial defeat in iraq and syria, the group has returned to

rage against the witch-hunt with roger stone being lynched last week, being treated worse than osama bin laden, what has stayed steady for him is his echo chamber of fox news return foe wainfo wars. he's going to continue to work that. he's going to listen to only those that support him. but the most significant thing that's happened is in the senate with mcconnell. and as you said, there's beginning to be a split there. i think it's one of the things that mcconnell realizes, he does have to work with the house which is now democratic and that will change the dynamic. if all of a sudden he doesn't have the votes because he's had the acceptance of anything he does from republicans, particularly in the senate over the last two years. if that changes, that means that the results will change. and he will have to accept a new reality. >> joe, laura, david, thank you very much. >> thank you. >>> our former starbucks ceo and billionaire howard schultz, he spoke to our poppy harlow about a range of subjects. a fascinating interview, specifically about democrats who are outraged that he is toying and i

cnn since 2006 and i just covered international news of all sorts, all kinds of breaking news, osama bin laden being killed and on and on, i have never seen anything like this. this particular week, though, has been crazy. what makes it crazier is that 28 days into this the president says, okay, i'm going to make an official announcement tomorrow, we don't know if this announcement is going to be a stunt or it's going to be something that is substantiative. but do you think that this president can actually get democrats and republicans to sit down together from this announcement, get leaders at the table? >> well, i hope so, but his track record does not inspire a lot of confidence. i mean, what's striking to me, don, is i think back on the last two years, and as susan rightly said, sunday is going to be the two-year mark of the trump administration. it was born in chaos, the travel ban, chaos at the airports, peel didn't know who was allowed into the u.s., who wasn't, what the rules were. remember, it was incredibly chaotic, and if anything, looking back from two years vantage point, that see

mcraven led the osama bin laden raid and was -- has also drawn the scorn of president trump. he calls mcchrystal one of the great generals of this generation and the finest officer i have ever served with. >>> the shooting death of a u.s. reason at the washington, d.c., barracks remains a mystery this morning. the unidentified marine was on duty early tuesday morning when he was killed. a marine spokesman confirms the fatal gunshot wound was not self-inflicted. the circumstances surrounding the incident are unclear, and the killing is being investigated by degre.c. police. >>> one thing to look forward to in the new year, lower gas prices. the national average for gas $2.25 a gallon, nearly 20% of states enjoying prices below $2 a gallon. the loafest since -- lowest since 2017. the president tweeted twice on new year's day about gas prices. prices are low and expected to go down this year, this would be good. do you think it's just luck that gas prices are so low and falling? low gas prices are like another tax cut. u.s. crude settled at $45.41 a barrel monday, ending down ne

there is no network that would ever turn down president obama talking about we captured osama bin ladent's completely different from trying to put his party forward as being right in a dispute as we have now with the shutdown. >> mark, you used to be in the room for these discussions at nbc. did nbc and the others do the right thing? >> brian, i don't think they had much choice. this was the president's first request of this kind for an oval office address, it was about a crisis, whether self-inflicted or not, it's clearly a crisis the government shutdown. i wouldn't go so far as ted koppel said that you always have to give the white house the benefit of the doubt. this white house has made a habit of consistently even casually misleading and deceiving the public and the press and as indira pointed out what you got was a political speech, a recycling of talking points, no new announcements, facts or proposals. this is a tradition that goes back decades and it really stems from a time when there was no other way for a president to immediately address the public at large other than road b

we've also seen the president pick a fight with admiral mccraven who was the architect of killing osama bin ladenthese are the generals of our era and the president sat war with them as you pointed out in the begin there wasn't a group of people that he more warmly embraced two years ago when he came into office. >> the president has raised some broader concerns shared by many in the american public about the duration of the u.s. in the conflict, 17 years in afghanistan. do leaders on the ground and the military need to be held more accountable for the setbacks there? >> of course they do. you there's a simp wale way for accountability and that's to bring somebody else in. and president trump in that free wheeling discussion at the white house just a couple of days ago said that mattis hadn't delivered in afghanistan. now, i think, you no, i, you could debate whether that's true or not but the point is that the president is the commander and chief, can he get rid of generals he thinks aren't performing. and there's a long and honorable tradition of this in the united states. lincoln got rid of qu

means the feds sent more armed men to roger stone's house in fort lauderdale than they did to osama bin laden'sompound in pakistan, just for some perspective on this. what was the justification for doing that? prosecutors knew stone was not a flight risk. he's broke. he doesn't even have a valid passport. they could simply have called his lawyer and told him to surrender. that's the actual standard in cases like this. but they didn't do that. instead they went with guns drawn. who decided to do that? how much did it cost taxpayers? we spent the last few days trying to answer those questions. it tells you a lot about contemporary america that we couldn't. we still have no idea. the justice department wouldn't answer us.ti the white house, which supposedly oversees the justicee department, didn't even respond. maybe they don't know the answer to those questions. possible. they don't control roberte mueller. nobody controls robert mueller. mueller can send armed men to your home to roust you from bed at gunpoint because he feels like it and there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it. muell

joining me now, the navy navy l who fired the shot that killed osama bin laden. $851 billion, the costhanistan since 2001. are we done there? >> we were done there a while back. my first trip to afghanistan was in 2005, and at that point there was no such thing as explosive devices or suicide bombers because the mission of the time was to take out al qaeda and just do that. and we did it, and for some reason we decided to get into nation-building. to put it in perspective, when we first invaded afghanistan in 2002, college freshman this year were infants. we have been there a long, long time. are we going to colonize this place customer can we going to sit there for 50, 100 years? we are at a sad point in d.c. where we argue for 24 hours about white house whoppers and what they said -- a kidding capitol hill, we are arguing about that. $5 billion for some steel. we are not in a position to colonize anybody. so all we need to do, which we should've done in the first place, which is frustrating for operators on the ground, we need a few land bases where we can maintain a presence, and ai
