brit hume with his takes on the gates excerpts. a closer look at the way gates describes the brazen political motivations of the iraq surge in 2007. shannon bream with military reaction to the book, but we begin with chief white house correspondent ed henry with an administration appearing to be on spin cycle tonight. good evening, ed. >> evening, bret. rare access today to the president and vice president for news photographers but not reporters to ask questions about these explosive allegations that are still reverberating. for the first time in five years, president obama and vice president biden today opened up their weekly lunch to cameras. just hours after details leaked from the memoirs of former defense secretary robert gates, questioning the leadership of the question and blasting the vice president's judgment. though spokesman jay carney insists the timing was a coincidence. the president was merely responding to photographers demanding more access. >> you can decide for yourselves what you want to believe. >> gates writes

how about we close all the gate, not the scandals, the gates to which we attach the scandals.tly trivialize them when we do them, like soap operaizing them, when we throw the same suffix on all of them, failing to distinguish them and we in the media fail to distinguish ourselves. i think we can do better because there's a big difference between a governor's staff let's say creating a traffic jam or richard nixon creating something that resembles a constitutional jam. i say open up all these investigations but shut down the gates and let us only show the facts that swing from there. that will do it with today's "your world." speaking of the gates and what they are saying, look what's going on in fort lee, new jersey today. the latest gate has the governor of new jersey, a possible presidential candidate, trying to get this crisis behind him, meeting moments ago with the mayor of fort lee and saying hunky-dory. >> governor. >> hi, how are you? >> thank you. >> you're the best. you're the best. >> i adore you. >> again, this is the governor of new jersey in fort lee earlier toda

the list is long with joe bide boyd. and gates as i say not the first one who said that about him. >> brit hume, always gret to get your take. >> on the last thing about foreign policy. the book suggests that politics played heavily in the decisions of iraq and afghanistan because the chief did not trust his military advisors. kt, good afternoon to you. you have known bob gates going back four deck readies. >> we both worked for help row kiss ifrmger and our desk were ten feet apart. he is a man of intellect and great american patriot. i take the book as truth. he doesn't use it as an opportunity to make himself look good. the truth, bill, is harrowing. if you have a president of the united states for callous political reasons was for or against the political war, and sent men and women in the combat to do i and bleed and bear the burden and injuries for the rest of their days not because the president thought it was the right policy or win, but because he could get a few more votes. that is an abrogation of the commander in chief

. >> what kind of heads up did bob gates give the white house? >> we knew secretary gates was writing a book as everybody did or most people did. we received the book last night. >> last night. >> any concerns here he is revealing blow by blow conversations, confidential conversations he had with the president and other top national security advisers? >> here is what i would have to say. anybody who has the privilege of serving an administration at a high level an participate in policy discussions and has confidential conversations with principles and presidents and leaves office makes a decision how they are going to talk or write about that experience and when. that's everybody's decision to make for himself or herself. i would simply say that the president asked secretary gates to stay on as secretary of defense and he appreciates the service he gave to this administration, to this president and very much valued the role he played in this administration and the advice he gave. for other issues, i'll leave it to other folks to decide because eve

in fairness, the book also secretary gates goes on to suggest he believes president obama is the man he praises him for his courage and his mission to get usama bin laden, go ahead with that, secretary gates does. but meanwhile, writing a lot of tough columns about president obama, this morning has one praising the idea the president was skeptical of the military writing doubts about an ally in afghanistan and the commanders, we need more of that, a lack of skepticism, curiosity and reflection sunk bush further back. who knows how many lives would have been saved during the vietnam war had president johnson acted on his private doubts. the white house put out a statement friday taping high road praising cemetery gates for his service but while they did not rebut any allegations, they specifically rebutted the notion vice president joe biden and allegations of gays has been wrong on every major national security decision. it makes you wonder at the lunch if vice president joe biden is concerned how this could play potentially in 2016 and clinton mentioned allegedly had said privately i

in the book mr. gates said the president regarding afghanistan doesn't believe in his own strategy and doesn't consider the war to be his. for him it is all about getting out. gates goes on to say that early in the administration, quoting again suspicion and distropical storm of senior military officers by senior white house officials became a big problem for me. remember, van, this is a man who signed orders every week while he was secretary of defense sending troops off to war. his public persona was such that certainly he expressed his views somewhat. he was somewhat candid but not the level of criticism that we are seeing fired directly at president obama and other members of the white house staff. >>> thank you very, very much. so much for bipartisanship. president obama in my view put a republican in his cabinet and the guy doesn't get out the door before he starts working on the tell all hyperemotional memoir. i want to say it is almost unheard of for a cabinet member to engage in this level of betr

some relief is be on the way. >>> gates opens up. the former secretary of defense unleashes a scathing report. attacking both presidents he served. we have the explosive details. veil tragedy. the rich and famous colorado ski resort pernicious a freak avalanche. plus, beef prices are on the rise. a real life velveeta cheese shortage. >>> lebron gets the smack and kicking it up a notch. it's wednesday, january 8.

the war to be his. for him, it's all about getting out." this, although gates had told matt lauer about the war -- >> i think we're all on the same page. >> reporter: but in his book, gates accuses biden of poisoning the well against the military leadership and cites donnellon and his national security team for "aggressive, suspicious and sometimes condescending and insulting questioning of our military leaders." and while praising hillary clinton, gates expresses dismay at hearing clinton tell the president she only opposed the iraq war because she was running against him in the iowa caucuses. gates writes that the president, in turn, conceded his opposition to the iraq surge was political. still, despite his unusually harsh criticism of obama, gates calls the president's approval of the raid against osama bin laden "one of the most courageous decisions i have ever witnessed in the white house." but the gates book is arming critics of obama's iraq strategy as well. >> 90-some young americans died in fallujah, 600 were wounded. now we see people driving around

in this edition, we look at the serious business of philanthropy. bill and melinda gates take us inside their foundation, we examine the unintended legacy of howard hughes, and meet a staten island woman helping children maimed by war. we begin with bill and melinda gates. with their plan to give away $60 billion, they're the most generous philanthropists in the world. they want to make american kids among the best-educated on earth. and while they're doing that, they also intend to save millions of lives worldwide. the gates shun publicity, but in october 2010, melinda gates agreed to show scott pelley the nuts and bolts of giving away a fortune. [train whistles] >> the north of india, where it is a short drive from the big city to the middle ages. [animals bellow] in the countryside of india's most crowded state, uttar pradesh, often, food is scarce, electricity nonexistent, women and infants die in childbirth, and medicine remains in the realm of superstition. it's exactly what melinda gates is looking for: a neglected crisis where her investment can save the most live

it is causing heartburn in the white house. when bob gates left the obama cabinet, the president surprised his defense secretary with the medal of freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. >> you're not only one of the longest serving secretaries of defense in american history, it's also clear you've been one of the best. >> i'm deeply honored and moved -- >> but in his sensational new memoir, gates talks about the president, joe biden and tom donilon for their handling of the war in afghanistan and the military. gates says suspicion and cers by senior white house officials, including the president and vice president became a big problem for me. after a march 2010 national security council meeting, gates writes, i thought the president doesn't trust his commander, can't stand karzai, doesn't believe in his own strategy and doesn't consider the war to be his. for him, it's all about getting out. this although gates had told matt lauer. >> i think we're all on the same page. >> but in his book he accuses biden of poisoning the well of milit

the scenes. a blistering critique from former defense secretary bob gates. tonight what he's revealing about president obama, congress, the war, and what was really going on. >>> drinking too much. a sobering new look at americans and alcohol and the number of people whoo too far. >>> and mystery solved. the small group of everyday americans hiding an incredible secret for decades. tonight the crime they've admitted to would change things for good. >>> also, the biggest name on the u.s. olympic team is out, right before the games begin. "nightly news" begins now. >>> good evening. today it was below freezing, at least somewhere in each of the 50 states. that doesn't happen often, and yes, even hawaii where it was 25 this morning near the summit of a volcano. in new york, it hasn't been this cold since 1896. in cleveland, you'd have to go back to 1884. in asheville, north carolina, the old record was set in 1879. again tonight it's not just the 25 below zero temperatures in minnesota making news, it's the dangerous cold in the deep, deep south making news, lik

then she closed the gate and we were just waiting in the back room. i heard about eight or nine shots go off completely, i think. we were just waiting in the stock room for about 45 minutes before the howard county police officer came. he knocked on the door. we got people on the back door. he wasn't in his uniform. so we didn't know whether to believe him or not. my assist the manager was like, can we see a badge or something. i don't think he had a badge or anything. we were really scared before she decided to hope the door. it was him, he let us out, and we were safe. >> there's a pretty frightening sequence of events. had you as an employee of the store or were other stores kind of given the same kinds of instructions, when something like this happens it's time to close the gate protecting i guess your store to what may be going on outside in the mall? >> i don't know. i just know, like, that was our first instinct. first we ran to the back of the store. we didn't close the gate or anything. we just ran to the back of the store. then we was like,

he makes the point that he's always treated nicely by everyone. >> gates was? >> yeah. >> but he says he couldn't get anything done. and i think as you read through his complaints, what you see is really just a lack of leadership on the part of the commander-in-chief. >> i think the big telling point. the part about afghanistan was that he supported the troops but he didn't support his own strategy. he announced the surge in 2009. then against the advice of robert gates and david petraeus. the military commander at the time. he put a deadline on our withdrawal. he undermined his own war effort and undermined the troops that he was sending into afghanistan. >> what about this issue of the, he talks about where hillary clinton and president obama both acknowledged in a meeting that they had, their opposition to the iraq surge in 2007 had been political. i think we more or less knew that, too, although to see it phrased like that and acknowledged is nonetheless telling confirmation of detail. but what about the impact of that potentially on hillary clinton going in

instead, he will have to move the unmarked van to the front gates of the building and will have to move two vehicles blocking that gate in order to get out. lying low just outside are ghantt's accomplices, kelly campbell, steve chambers, the ringleader of the plot, and chambers' cousin, scott grant. once david ghantt moves the two vehicles, chambers sends a reluctant grant to the front gate. a few miles away, ghantt pulls the van into the garage of a building, where another accomplice, eric pane, works. this is the next part of their plan. where ghantt gives the van and the money to steve chambers. kelly campbell is supposed to take ghantt to the airport in her car. he gives the keys to the van to steve chambers, gets in kelly campbell's car, and leaves $17 million with a handful of strangers. now steve chambers' cousin, scott, has lost track of which key on ghantt's key ring will open the doors of the van. he will have to sort through dozens of keys to find the right one. >> then they went to trying to break into the vehicle using stones and sticks and whatever else they could find on

the reaction to the new book from robert gates. e, north korea, dennis rodman said he is not there for politics, but can he use his relationship with the leader there and open up an important door? joining us now is democratic congressman from new york, a key member of the house foreign affairs committee. thanks very much for coming in. you said horrible things about dennis rodman saying his going there to celebrate the birthday of kim jung unwould be like someone going nazi germany in the 30s and celebrating hitler's birthday. explain what you meant by that. >> first of all, jim jung unis a brutal dictator. he inherited his presidency from his father who received it from his father. people in north korea are dying or are being imprisoned or starved. it's one of the most oppressive regimes on earth. they have illegal and nuclear weapons. for dennis rodman to call this dictator and thug his friend and bring a basketball and make as if everything is just hunky dory, i think it's a disgrace. when you consider that we have an american c

it happens to me all the time. but gates looks like he wants to deliver a message to the american people and the message that i'm getting from this, from gates, all right. and i would like to talk to gates. is he hurt now. i think he has some type of mallady. maybe we will get to talk to hill. the message is that tough life and death decisions are being made by politics. not what's right and wrong for the nation. that's an important thing that we need to know, howard. >> he should make that argument and he is hardly the first, as eric says, to write a tell-all book. but when you get into the realm of private conversations, it does seem to moo that you are trying to cash none government service by coming up with juicy antidotes. here is one more thing, bill. that is that gates admits in the book that he has a lot of criticism of the way barack obama dealing with the military and pentagon budget and he didn't voice them at the time. >> he couldn't because he would have been fired. it's the same old deal. if you work for a corp

the war. and i think -- excuse me. i think gates is very disappointing, but as he was the ultimate civil servant and here he is taking shots at a president and conceding in the book that he didn't raise these actions within the administration. if he felt that strongly, he should have spoken up. >> i want to say something. i think the vice president, when he went over to china recently, was letter perfect in the way he handled the situation. >> i agree. >> i'm talking about the mid sea off the coast of japan and china. here's secretary gates on the united states congress. >> quote, congress is best viewed from a distance. the farther, the better. because up close, it is truly ugly. i saw most of congress as uncivil, incompetent at fulfilling the responsibility. such as timely appropriations. micromanage, thin-skinned and prone to put self-and reelection before country. unquote. >> question, is this over stated, under stated, or right on the mark? pat. >> i think most americans have come to believe that the respect for congress is dow

i got to ask you about the bob gates book. this was your fellow cabinet member. >> i haven't read the book. look, we're not involved very much in foreign affairs. i have a lot of respect for all of the folks who were mentioned in that book. the president's a very forceful leader. very patient leader. and does, indeed, like to have -- >> did you see tension between, say, the vice president and gates during cabinet meetings? >> no. >> you never saw that tension firsthand? >> not at all. >> that part of it surprised you? >> i didn't see it. >> all right. tom vilsack, secretary of agricultu agriculture. iowan. pittsburgher. >>> the federal government started a war 50 years ago. the question is, who's winning the so-called war on poverty? we'll discuss the battles of the past and the fights still ahead for congress both on capitol hill and across the country. >>> first, today's trivia question. who was the first sitting house member to be elected president? first person to tweet the correct answer to @chucktoday and @dailyrundown wi

here's a key excerpt from the book. gatesng about the march 2011 meeting in the situation room in afghanistan. the issue was a troop withdraw deadline. as i said there, the i thought, the president doesn't trust his commander, can't stand afghan president hamid. for him it's all about getting out. chris, how scathing is this of obama's leadership? >> it has a certain tone to it but i think he is right in the sense that president obama ran on the campaign do get us out of afghanistan. that was his mission. there's nothing wrong with that. he makes it sound like there's something wrong with that. the policy of the president coming into office, got into office is wind down two wars. he did so. maybe that's not gates' point of view but it's obama. >> it is clear, robert gibbs, i'm reading the book and think soft m some of the press coverage is overwritten. he's critical of you -- >> i think he intimated i was the deputy secretary of defense. >> okay. he's critical of that interagency process. in other words, that there was a feel

the president almost gets a pass from bob gates on some of these things because in the end bob gates e president ultimately made in afghanistan. he i think was most upset because he perceived administration as lacking faith in the uniformed military. naturally what i think when george said in the clinton years, the late historian what he thought very similar he said, look, i'm all in favor of this, let the debate begin. don't wait until administrations or over or people are dead. let's have the debate. compelling on both sides. we're going to learn about more because of this. >> schieffer: you were there for a lot of this. you were not there when gates was there working for barack obama but working, michael, for george bush. were you surprised by this? >> i was. i think this is man who has completely lost patience with politics, politicians and washington that was a lot of the context of this book. he was not a good picture in congress, not a good picture of centralized national security structure. that i think is the context here. but i thought it was pretty damaging profile because

gates says. it was said yesterday the president disagrees with secretary gates' assertions. joe biden has been one of the leading statesman of his time. they've been pushing back against this publicly however you want to view that photo-op at lunch certainly it was unique. certainly you could argue that the implications are to do damage control mode. but the white house saying, look, it's just to give the media more access but not denying they're going to defend the vice president. >> timing undeniably curious. thank you. >>> new developments today in a growing political controversy surrounding chris christie's administration. newly released e-mails show christie's office was closely involved with the closures last fall of local access lanes to the country's busiest bridge and that the closings may have been politically motivated. there was total gridlock in one town including on the first day of school. the mayor of ft. lee, a democrat, who declined to endorse christie's re-election. weeks before the closings, christie's chief of staff wrote to the port authority aid. time f

gates was one of the coauthors, if you will, of the policy that did just that. >> gates also said he witnessed a shocking conversation between then secretary of state hillary clinton and the president. . the two former senators allegedly admitted that their opposition to the iraq surge while in the senate was strictly for political reasons. a point that carney simply brushed off when he said the president was opposed to the entire war. vice president biden the target of sharp criticism in the gates book. gates wrote, biden has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades. while he accused the vice president of, quote, poisoning the well against pentagon leaders. carney rushed to biden's defense but didn't offer a single concrete example to refute the allegations. >> i would reiterate that the president and the rest of us here simply disagree with that assessment. as a senator and vice president joe biden has been one of the leading statesman of his time. he's played a key role in every major national security and foreign polic
