we willti investigate restoring balance at the pentagon for the longer we keep waiting it exempts for good reason. the control of the military is a fundamental principle of our republic and we do not want high-ranking military service to become a prerequisite for civilian leadership of the department of defense. it's not just about a simplistic fear that the military will end up running itself. the contrary many experts worry that military leaders approved rate being nonpolitical may not prepare them for the job were armed services admit the rough-and-tumble and executive in the executive branch and here in congress. put another way they are taught from the beginning tuesday out of politics entirely but you do want the secretary of defense who is willing to engage in the issue-based discussions that we have related to the department. nevertheless i voted today to confirm the clear patriot with an impressive career but i will cast that go with the understanding that heren new new secretary defense specifically commits to balancing the civil military relations empowering civilian leader

wasn't to supported but not really let me explain why the president ordered this months ago the pentagon was moving to reduce the numbers but then just a few weeks ago congress passed over a presidential veto on a bill that said they had to keep troop levels at $4000.00 now the only way they could get around that is a presidential waiver or a study from the pentagon saying that it wouldn't impact the fight in afghanistan we believe that the president did sign a waiver but not until after the drawdown it happened so a little bit of confusion here at the pentagon about what authority they had to in fact do that if the president had in fact signed that waiver of course all of this now goes to joe biden what is he going to do in afghanistan he's indicated that he wants to leave a small force there but we also don't know if he's what how he feels about the peace talks with the taliban one of the problems is normally by now we would have had confirmation hearings for the leadership of the pentagon of the state department where they would have laid out what the plan is to but so far because of

to that will be some personnel changes and the pentagon really feels that it's been under pressure from president trump especially in these last few months that it's been sort of abused by president trump and of course i think there will be probably pretty happy to have a president that follows the more normal cruta call with respect to the relationship between the commander in chief and the pentagon that had to for the great to get your thoughts david thank you very much indeed for talking to us thank you. now demonstrators in iraq have called for the removal of u.s. troops on the 1st anniversary of the assassination of top iranian general concepts in the money he was killed in a u.s. drone strike in baghdad the anniversary of the killing also marked by protests in other parts of the middle east reports now from baghdad. thousands of people filled to tahrir square in central baghdad. we will not stop until we have our revenge they chant revenge for the killing of iranian revolutionary guard chief cross him still in money and the deputy head of iraq's popular mobilization forces mahadeo

the pentagon responded they didn't like the idea of a national guard in a police line. the decision was made to send the guard shortly after by acting defense secretary chris miller. now the hunt is on for many of the rioters, d.c. police asking for the public's help to identify them, like this man carrying the confederate flag. the bearded man wearing the camp auschwitz shirt is robert keith packer from virginia. the man in all black with a holster seen carrying plastic restraints is eric munchel from nashville, charged with two federal crimes. >>> jake, so far, 20 people have been arrested on federal charges and acting u.s. attorney for d.c. says there could be hundreds more arrests, including some for murder. we heard from chad wolfe, acting secretary for homeland security, saying he ordered the secret service to start its security operations for the inauguration almost a week ahead of time, starting wednesday, instead of the day just before the inauguration next week. jake? >> alex marquardt, thank you very much. >>> i want to bring in daniel hoganson. let's start w

that comes after a statement we got from the pentagon saying they've been coordinating with the vice president about calling in the national guard. it did not mention donald trump. neither does this statement. it does not say the vice president has spoken to president trump in the last several hours. that's notable because as we know with vice president pence, he does not miss an opportunity to praise the president, to talk about their relationship, and of course as it is deteriorated, we are seeing this. i think it is raising legitimate questions about the president being isolated away in the white house talking about what he wants to see, complaining about pence not doing his bidding on capitol hill about who is in charge of the federal government and who is streamlining the efforts to restore normal in the capitol tonight. >> it is pretty stunning, the fact, kaitlan, not that we can say trump's name isn't on there, the fact they're putting out every single person that pence spoke to is making a clear point, it is a loud and clear point. the vice president is there, he is on capito

fox's jennifer griffin joins us from the pentagon.ter: there were complaints that the national guard were not involved enough yesterday but the pentagon is mobilizing more than 6,000 national guard troops mobilized from pennsylvania, new jersey, new york, delaware, maryland and virginia and will stage outside of the d.c. area in coming days in case they are needed to help the 1100 d.c. national guard who arrived last night as the d.c. armory. army national secretary announced a seven foot high scale fence erected around the capitol will remain up at least 30 days through the inauguration. the fingerpointing as begun as to why the national guard was not used to protect the capitol. the pentagon can only send in the national guard to d.c. at the request of mayor muriel bowser or if the president invoked sure recollection act which pentagon, mayor, pushed back against last summer. they did not want him to do so. this was something that became a huge issue during those june protests. president trump tried to federalize troops to tamp down

we are seeing that between the city and pentagon when it comes to using national guard. we are seeing that between the justice department and capitol police as to why there was not a bigger police presence. what it comes down to in the end, how did we not see it coming and how were we not better prepared. even if you did not have officers ready to go on the morning of, we saw there were hundreds of officers uniformed and standing in the reagan building to be deployed in a moment's notice if they were needed and in this case that did not happen. >> i worry the finger-pointing will be easy to happen. let's talk about the alphabet of agencies you just machine shunned, dhs, an acting secretary, department of justice, an acting attorney general and the pentagon, an acting defense secretary and you get my point here, and essentially nobody was in charge, that is what it sounds

are you committed to being open and accessible for my colleagues over at the pentagon?he leader there. >> 100%. general austin made it very clear he expects us to be transparent, to be accountable and be accessible to the press corps that covers this building as well as reporters all around the world. you can see us. hopefully i'll be getting up to the podium soon. i just have to get a few days to get up to speed on things but we're absolutely 100% committed to being completely transparent and accessible and honest with the men and women of the press corps who cover this building. >> it's a terrific press corps, as i can attest, from knowing my colleagues and those and other agencies. >> absolutely are. >> you're off to a great start, john kirby. thank you for coming to us day one. >> thank you, andrea. good to be with you >>> and president biden again set to sign executive orders today on the economy. how the administration hopes to help the economy and reverse trump-era policy. stay with us. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc n msnb >>> and this aftern

i was in the pentagon on 9/11. i literally watched the aeroplane hit the pentagon. the next morning, president bush came to the pentagon, he assembled all the admirals and generals, our very senior military leadership, and he was angry. and he said, "i want you to remember this day, to remember what it feels like, what it strikes you as as you smell the cordite in the pentagon." today, i suspect in the capitol as the work of congress returns, there must be anger by many as they smell that tear gas lingering. this was an absolute desecration of the highest temple of democracy in our nation. and it was hard to watch for someone who has spent 37 years in the military, and at every rank i swore an oath to support and defend the constitution of the united states. that attack yesterday by rioters incited by an american president was a violation of our constitution in my view. and thus was a dark day for the united states of america. how could it happen, admiral? that building, the us capitol, is protected by a couple of thousand capitol policemen. men in uniform, just as

can the pentagon reverse this? should the pentagon reverse this, or is this humane?d reverse it. i would think based on my experience the highly likely the pentagon made the decision unilargely without getting any input from the white house. first of all, we're talking about 80 vaccines, so it's not 800 or 8,000 or even 8 million. and so far our government has distributed almost 50 million vaccines. we've administered 25 million. but still, 80 vaccines is 80 vaccines, and how many lives would those vaccines save? and that's where, i think, when you've got a vaccine in short supply, you've got to set priorities. we've already done that. we've said that seniors and those with caron ec health conditions -- chronic health conditions can get them, and some of them are waitingment it would obviously obviously be the right thing to do to make the detainees go without those. and as you pointed out, this is horrifically bad optics. you've got 9/11 first responders who aren't getting the vaccine and the guy who masterminded the attack getting one. that doesn't make any sense.

the disruption at the pentagon has been enormous. they need a fully confirmed secretary of defense immediately, to begin to thoroughly clean up that mess and get the pentagon back to being as effective as it needs to be. and also, and i will not belabor this point at all, we have a complex threat environment. all right? let's just say that. we heard about it on the committee today. about china and russia and iran, the middle east, north korea, not to mention the domestic insurrection that we all witnessed here just a couple weeks ago. there is an urgency to this. if there wasn't an urgency to this, i would have waited a week and said, ok, let's take however time people can figure out their ratios and pick their members and whatever. there is an urgency, so instead of having a public hearing, we had a very, very successful briefing. this house, this time has done its job in a way that it didn't four years ago. when we simply took mattis, didn't hear from him and voted on it. that was minor point of whether or not we mark this up in co

critical hallmark ofti exceptiol leadership, especially for organizations like the pentagon is not just one treats superiors but how one treats subordinates. what i saw was respect, wintegrity and as someone who gets things done in a difficult environment. it is clear to me that the core principles of mr. austen's life have been duty, honor, country and that may sound points to some but i think having individuals of impeccable character are at the top of our government is more important than ever. other then integrity there is no singular requirement for the difficult job of secretary of defense. as the former director of the joint staff and centcom commander mr. austin certainly has insights uncritical issues such as interagency budget battles, working with our allies and congressional oversight. mr. austen is fully committed to the constitutional principle of civilian control of our military and something that those who serve in uniform typically understand and revere more than those who don't. in that regard i thought some of the testimony from our recent hearings on this important t

of course but yeah i know i've opposed pentagon spending i don't believe we have a cohesive strategy that's tied to the budget i'm a big reagan guy and i know a lot of my friends and mentors are from the reagan administration one of the things the reagan administration did was essentially established a strategy and then funded it there was a point believe or not the reagan defense budget started going down because they had fun of the strategy i believe we should have a global essentially a global strategy of why we're doing what we do this unlimited funding helps no one again biden is assured that i would still fault president trump for not paying close enough attention to the budget as well i think it's it's bloated so i think there's a great possibility and i think that's why so much of industry supported biden because i think they want to go back to the days of complete cronyism regarding big defense contracts going to people without any regard to those that contract actually add to the global security to your point regarding russia the president trump was far stronger for more. w

how significant of a moment is this for the pentagon?think it's very significant for the pentagon, wolf. think about that. the first african-american defense secretary. you have to ask yourself, why did it take us so long? it speaks to the value that a diverse military brings to the defense of the country. it certainly speaks to secretary austin's long, dedicated career in uniform, and the capabilities, the leadership he will bring to the department. i also think, wolf, it sends a powerful symbol and is a great example to young men and women all throughout the country, who are thinking about joining the military and what they can do to contribute to the defense of this country, to see that an african-american is now a civilian head of the defense department. >> yeah. the u.s. military has been very diverse, ahead of the curve in so many areas. i remember when i was covering the pentagon, chairman of the joint chiefs was general colin powell. there's been a history of diversity which is very good. secretary austin was there today when pre

first time tonight "the washington post" has an unsettling report about what happened inside the pentagoned the military and begged them to urgently send in the national guard. the initial response from the army to that call for help was no, they wouldn't do it, even though they were informed on that call that the capitol had been breached, that the protesters were not peaceful, they were told on that call that shots had already been fired, there were reports of shots fired already, but still the army on that call told capitol police they would not send in the national guard. that remains one of the disturbing failures about how the capitol fell that day to the pro-trump mob. now tonight "the washington post" is reporting that one of the senior officers who was in the room when that call for help was made to the pentagon and when the army response was no, you can't have the help, one of the senior officers in the room at the pentagon for that call was a general named charles flynn. flynn. charles flynn is the brother of disgraced trump national security adviser mike flynn who, of course,

this includes confirming qualified nominees to serve the pentagon. i believe congress should revisit the headquarters reduction limited over the past several years. while well-intentioned, these cuts have sapped the department of experience, expertise and knowledge, all of which degrades the ability to oversee the critical policy issues that are integral for robust civilian oversight. again, i you, mr. chairman. i look forward to hearing from our nominee. sen. inhofe: thank you, senator. excellent statement. with some senators attending remotely i want to let everyone know how we will run this thing. it is impossible to know exactly when our colleagues who will be joining via computer, we will not follow our standard earlybird timing will. we will handle the order of questions until we have gone through everyone and then we will see how much time we have left. we will do the standard -- instead of doing the standard five minutes, we have agreed a seven-minute route might be more appropriate. i asked my colleagues on the computers to please keep an ey

we control the pentagon. and indeed they do control the pentagon.ublicans have spent years ignoring the leftward drift. but we can't ignore it now. the mask is off. armed military leadership are the very same who howled at the idea of deploying troops. those same generals sent tens of thousands of soldiers with rifles to washington, clearly on behalf of the political party they support. they then allowed democratic politicians to degrade and politicize the military itself. democrats in congress demanded that they submit to a political purity test, ideological vetting as they put it to make sure that every soldier expressed lawyer to you to the regime. not loyal to the to the country, not to the constitution but loyalty to the aims of a specific political party. nothing like that has ever happened in america. just a few months ago, it would have been unimaginable. here's congressman steve cohen of memphis explaining why that is. >> the guard is 95% believe male. only about 20% white males voted for biden. you've got to figure that as a guard which is
