and some strategy of the petraeus doctrine, with the rumsfeld doctrine. and you don't have enough troops, and al-qaeda and other groups have free rein in the cooperation and they'll lose huge swaths of the country and while i think his policies were largely a failure in iraq, i think what we're talking about now is a return to the failed policies and what we're talking about petraeus is a turn, and a way of thinking the way that the military is thinking about things. it takes for the army to change course. petraeus wrote the book on it. and now he's in baghdad with more troops to say in six months, nine months, hey, your opportunity is done, it's time to leave, i think, is very irresponsible and would mark a return to sort of rumsfeld's approach. >> newnan, georgia. democrats line. >> thanks for taking my call, sir, this is the first war i ever seen that you go to war first and then you get the reason to go to war. and i was told that the oil would pay for the war itself. where the-- >> caller, can you repeat that? >> i didn't hear that. >> okay, i was to

secretary rumsfeld gave a speech on september 10, 2001 that is mostly forgotten but it was not the need for acquisition reform, cutting tale to give two teeth, to war fighters. 9/11 happened and these are problems that event persisted for a long time but now we have new threats and we need the urgency of this moment. as you said the most dangerous moment pasley since world war two. the urgency do everything possible to get the capabilities in the hands of war fighters, emergency powers defense production act whatever it takes and an audit is part of it. >> why do you want to do this? why you want to do this job? what drives you? >> you have 30 seconds. >> because i love my country. i've dedicated my life to the war fighters. people see that someone who host a morning show on television. but people that really know me know where my heart is at. it's with the guys in this audience who of had my back d i've had there's, been in some of the darkest most difficult places you can ever be in, come back a different person and only by the grace of god and my here before you today. i'm doing this

he himself was military. prior, he was when i worked in the pentagon under secretary rumsfeld, he was in cool doing counter insurgency school. so he knows what it's like, he knows the consequence of war. and i think that makes it all the more important to, to really be vicious when you put your troops in harm's way. and i believe fully that he's going to carry out what donald trump wants, in this particular incense and, you know, negotiate and try to drop piece. and you do that by, by really showing leadership by stepping up there's been a little bit of a vacuum in washington and around the globe because we haven't stepped up and been very forceful. our policy hasn't been clear for the world. and, you know, been chaos of pounds also. thank you. you see secretary rubio? i mean he's got great skills as a diplomat on capitol hill. i mean, he was even getting praise from the democratic colleagues. i'm on the hill that hearing his hearings. you'll see that abroad in trying to negotiate piece as well. seems it anything anything you want to say or add about the team is coming in. we have ste

now rumsfeld, oh, don't mind issue or try tradition. i'm belonging to you. if we don't fight to reclaim is who never know what was last. i'm was we will never guess it back. yeah . well, i don't know. can you argue it, or if you can, let's talk about it. but there's one thing about sovereignty. on huge changes to the demographics. you only get to give them away. once this be the most, come you what would it be without a visit to the yes, the center for a european democracy, freedom with well being the non corrupt boston of the you know, liberty and gayness, and equality and freedom and there's official news that is absolutely no whole corruption that you're getting and nobody left to rob. what a guess, what? even in the united states and the older boston of freedom, liberty, and liberal values. hollywood. they seem to be. oh yeah. getting the message of the network of your. yeah, you wouldn't imagine it, but an actor called rob snyder, you might remember me a very funny guy. and he made a little speech i need talk to little story about the said for, for to t

. >> brian: reagan rocked the world with star wars and maybe we were not ready, rumsfeld tried, maybewere not ready. is this something democrats and republicans can get behind? estimated to cost $250 billion. it is major investment. >> it is, republicans are behind it, some democrats are uncertain about it. question is development of missiles around the world, hyper sonic missiles by russia, being used at the moment and certainly by china. and do systems stand up against those? a lot of support on republican side, we'll see if democrats want to support such a high cost item. >> brian: has to eshg volve with the threat. interesting to see. you can't do that with executive order, you have to get congress to vote on it. you have a new book coming out march 18th called "resolute," and your thought. >> i was pleased with the first one, i have so many follow-up questions about how did i get through it with a smile on my face, this book looks deeply into what i went through from i suppose it is a book telling readers it does not matter what you encounter, we can get stronger and i feel that

mike: intel posted better than fourth quarter rumsfeld as they saw a sales beats partly from asia orderst they said first quarter sales were specked to fall short on weaker demand and tougher competition. we are joined by matt bryson who has been writing the results are not been becomed. he maintains a neutral rating. we did hear a somewhat more realistic tone in the c.e.o. about the prospects of maybe turning the company around in the short term. how did that land with you? >> it is the right way to think about things in the sense that intel was consistently being optimistic about where things were going to end up and at the end of the day that ended up disappointing investors. so you start off with a more realistic bar and the hope is you are able to execute from there. caroline: realistic looks pretty painful and the shares do drop on the back of this. no quick fixes but what can be done when you get no news on the c.e.o.? matt: i think big question what does intel do from here. under pat, the plan was we are going to make intel great again. we are going to restore our competitiveness

what is your opinion of the former defense secretary donald rumsfeld? guest: he was pretty set in following strategy of lethal force that didn't need troops on the ground, i think he was stubborn and the way he stuck to that strategy. i don't have bad words for the man and i don't know him personally so -- host: i'm asking about the strategy. guest: it's interesting to look at the current strategy versus his strategy. counterterrorism strikes were necessary, which is exactly what the democrats and some republicans on capitol hill are talking about. in some ways i feel like the strategy, the alternative to the petraeus doctrine is returned to the rumsfeld doctrine, troops on bases, try to hit al qaeda where we can but the reality is you don't have enough troops, they are pulled back from the population and al qaeda and other insurgent groups have free reign of the population. they will terrorize the population and we will lose control of huge parts of the country. while i think his policies were largely a failure in iraq, i think what we are talking abou

the great late ron rumsfeld said you have to go to war with the cristroops you have.es, however it is, there is an emergency, i hope he gets all the credit because my friends there in california in los angeles, the entrepreneurs and business people who are out of business now, jesse, because of this, -- >> jesse: trump will be present when have a summer olympics in four years so he wants it rebuilt just as much as anybody but gavin has to play ball at they are going to do business. >> harold: even before that, they have to rebuild before 2028 come and i don't necessarily -- >> greg: is and it just sad that we tie this all to the olympics? who cares? we live every day in this country. oh, we have to worry about the olympics -- screw the olympics! >> jesse: you need a deadline. there is no deadline -- >> greg: deadline my birthday. that is more important -- next year. >> jesse: that's fine peered. >> dana: aoc having a meltdown after standing up for ♪ ♪ >> judge jeanine: aoc is melting down after congress stood up for female athletes. the g.o.p.-led house passing a bill

well, secretary of defense don rumsfeld had these famous axioms. he had three of them.re are "known knowns", things that you know that you know. there are "known unknowns", things that you know that you don't know. and then there are "unknown unknowns", things that you don't know that you don't know. he said that that last group was the most dangerous. but he never completed the quartet of the possible combinations. the final and, in my opinion, the most dangerous one is: there are "unknown knowns", things that we know but we choose to un-know for some reason. well, for some reason, and it might be a perfectly understandable reason, the american people decided to un-know what they definitely knew about donald trump. [cheers and applause] well, today. today, the great remembering began. it was a frigid day down in washington, so at the last minute, trump moved his inauguration indoors. totally understandable, so, mr. president, it is with the utmost respect that i say awww, was the big stwong gweatest pwesident ever feewing a widdo chiwwy? you want hot cocoa wif mawshy-m

rumsfeld talked about it you are crazy the technology is not there it was not crazy.e was right with the concept. i think we are there. i don't know how you guard a country this big. but i'm sure there are some scientists that we could focus on. >> lawrence: combination of that idea is we got to get with these drones. we got to figure out how they are able to fly who they are. i want technology. i want r and i into that as well. >> steve: peter doocy asked the president about it on the first night. he said susie wiles the chief of staff. >> lawrence: get to the bottom of it. >> steve: let's see what happens. pete hegseth our secretary of defense was confirmed over the weekend. and then yesterday, our brand new secretary of treasury, scott bessent was confirmed and so, you know, what's interesting is all the stuff that pete hegseth put in his book we know that scott bessent wants to make america great again. and donald trump, he essentially and we had one of the guests on yesterday, brian mast was talking a little bit about how donald trump was going to go republican r

i've been covering this building since rumsfeld, and every secdef is very different. robert gates would talk. >> to you about. >> how difficult it was to inspire. any kind of real change here in the pentagon. >> he talked about this. >> bureaucracy that was just so immovable, and how difficult it was to break through that. pete hegseth, you know, i've spent weeks. working on reporting on him. it seems as if he will be. much more less of a details secretary of defense and more of the face of the pentagon, the face of the military. i'm not saying that he won't make policy decisions, but people have spoken with him who've worked with him for years, decades, in some cases, think that he will be sort of a bigger details kind of secretary of defense, and there will be people underneath him, whether it be the deputy secretary of defense, his chief of staff, realistically the head of policy here in the. >> building, all of. >> those people have been named already, not confirmed yet, but named who will actually do a lot of the day to day running of the military. also, just aga

secretary rumsfeld gave a speech on september 10th, 2001, that is mostly forgotten. but it was about the need for acquisition reform, cutting tail to give to teeth. to war fighters, and 9/11 happened. and these are problems that have been persistent for a long time. but now we have new threats. and we need the urgency of this moment. as you said, mr. chairman, the most dangerous moment since the end of the cold war and possibly world war ii. and emergency powers, defense production act, whatever it takes, and an audit is certainly part of it. >> why do you want to do this? why do you want to do this job? what drives you? >> you have 30 seconds. >> because i love my country. senator, i have dedicated my life to the war fighters. people see me as someone who hosts a morning show on television. but people that really know me know where my heart's at. it's with the guys in this audience who have had my back and i've had theirs. we've been in some of the darkest and most difficult places you can ever be in. you come back a different person. and only by the grace of god am

law enforcement expert at the table tonight, but they're the people we know about is what donald rumsfeldaid, the knowns, the known unknowns and the unknown unknown. so many of these attackers fall into that category. but when my question is, those are the people we know about that were apprehended, how many people came into this country that we don't know about? and are they radicalizing americans here at home? that's a question i have. >> i wonder, but is that stoking of fear? is that is that is that really an issue right now, in this moment when we're talking about the two people who were from here in this country who actually did it were decorated, who were decorated military people who people say, but but what i'm asking is, les, can we talk about what's happening right now? no, it's not about the possibility of what could be. we have to talk about what we're dealing with right now and the real issue. and there are people who are completely unhappy with the state of this country, perhaps themselves as well, and they are taking justice or whatever they believe is justice into their ow

i was a bitterly opposed to us backing him in the eye iraqi/around or this is back when rumsfeld was over there as a private citizen. think is a picture of him negotiating. i was very opposed to this war the son of one of my best friends was there great mechanical work on the big trucks and tanks. doing double duty like a lot of people at that time and patrolling the streets. it's going to improve things as they are trying to. but my fear i should say my belief is the eye iraqi society and the politics of the society for look at american society 4645% democrat iraq with undemocratic traditions and trial traditions of honor we are using very effectively now. it is so deeply fragmented so much violence. the military strategy the glass is too shattered for us to put it back together in any reasonable timeframe. >> certainly a lot of fractures there. i'm good were finally realizing the tribal system and center of gravity and using that. we have not done that for a long time. that's what proves successful for us. baghdad is in the travel system. it's important to remember the iraqis are p

dick cheney had showed up, donald rumsfeld showed up. there's a lot of different advice. all of us give. i think one that i remember was chief of staff is the only person in the white house who has two titles, chief and staff, and in different parts of the day in different moments. you're both you're always in the staff, but you're also chief first among all equals. and you that role changes second, beyond the discipline that you put, not just in the white house, but throughout the government and the cabinet, you have to have peripheral vision. a lot of times, you know, we all in washington, things come rushing in and it's what's in front of you. a chief of staff has to have the peripheral vision to see around the corner, see what's on the periphery, that all of a sudden, if it's not managed right, will be dead center, and it's coming at you at 90 miles an hour. so that's the other role of a chief of staff. and then third is obviously you're going to be the last one of the last people in to give the president the unvarnished truth. and when they make decisions or say, i'm

secretary rumsfeld gave a speech on september 10th, 2001 that's mostly forgotten, but it was about the need for acquisition reform, cutting, cutting tail to give to teeth to warfighters. and then nine over 11 happened. and these are problems that have been persistent for a long time. but now we have new threats, and we need the urgency of this moment. as you said, mr. chairman, the most dangerous moment we've been since the end of the cold war and possibly since world war two, the urgency to do everything possible to get the capabilities into the hands of warfighters, emergency powers, defense production act, whatever it takes. and an audit is certainly part of it. >> why do you want to do this? why do you want to do this job? what's your what drives you? >> you have 30s. >> because i love my country, senator. and i've dedicated my life to the warfighters. people see me as someone who hosts a morning show on television, but people that really know me know where my heart's at. it's with the guys in this audience who've had my back and i've had theirs. we've been in some of the darkest a

so as secretary rumsfeld would say, you go to war with the military you have, not the one you wish you had. right? so i think that becomes an important factor as to why so many contractors were deployed and i'm sure secretary victors and others will, and dr. jones, will support the comment that when you have the simultaneous wars of iraq and afghanistan you needed as many uniformed trigger puller folks as possible. so the contracting community plays a very important role so i want to put that out second. i do believe based on your written testimony that there's a dangerous inference you make when you say it does not seem coins dental to me that the u.s.'s longest war to date is also the one that had the most contracting. i just think that it's a dangerous inference in that it almost sounds like the war was dragged out for war profit year tiering. i think as this commission and us as commissioners have acknowledged the contracting community also lost lives. many former military, many former fsos, aid and development community workers, teachers and others decided to go down range to use
