usama bin laden was the one cutting the tapes. n as of late over the last two or three months is cutting tape after tape telling them to attack america's interests. >> president biden was taking in victory lap. he made the announcement yesterday. but a lot of republicans were slamming him for that because in the past he had said that there was al qaeda did not exist in afghanistan. that's why we had to withdraw. and many people were critical of him saying that clearly al qaeda is still in afghanistan. if the leader is killed they are over the weekend. how many other people are there that are under him that work for him? he talked about this. >> we were able to take out al-zawahiri in downtown kabul without a scratch to anybody else sends a powerful signal to the taliban and anybody else who might harbor al qaeda terrorist going forward. he taught we talked about this over a year ago, we know even before we left afghanistan there was going to be a small number in afghanistan that were already there appeared was to believe the number

thing that he has said, a greater threat than usama bin laden usama bin laden and if you think it'sy to subvert free speech and a democratic process because donald trump represents such a threat and if like michael hayden you think americans are the most violent -- patriotic right wing are the most violent on the planet, if you think like that, why wouldn't you steal an election? that's not an assertive case to say the election was stolen. i'm following if you think america is sitting on that brink, why wouldn't you steal an election. >> i have asked myself this question many times, will, if you they think the ends justify the means they will stop at nothing to actually achieve those ends if they can convince themselves that somehow donald trump is an existential threat. the only thing that donald trump is an existential threat to, is the administrative state and they know that and that's why they don't want to see him run again. >> will: yeah. it's really fascinating just to take them at their own words. again, not to make the assertive case of what happened in 2020 but to just lis

the 70-year-old al qaeda leader was usama bin laden's right hand, responsible for the 9/11 attacks, theombings in africa, the bombing of the uss cole. not as charismatic as bin laden, he was the philosopher behind the al qaeda ideology going back to its nation formation -- nation formation he was jailed twice in egypt as a member of egyptian islamic jihad, accused of overthrowing the government in egypt. a former surgeon, he was bin laden's personal physician and close confidant in those years when the mujahedin were fighting the soviets in the '80s. he became the nominal leader of al qaeda al qaeda after bin laden was killed in 2011 but was believed to be very ill for years. in the meantime, isis began to compete with al qaeda for the global jihadist mental. other al qaeda branches like those in yemen served as the operational tip of the spear, plotting terrorist attacks on the u.s. a vicious rivalry developed between isis and al qaeda in the past decade. after this number 11 attacks, u.s. state department offered a $25 million reward for information or intelligence leading to al-zawah

. >> what interest do we have in afghanistan as well as getting usama bin laden and we did >> staff sergeant is 1 of 13 soldiers killed during afghanistan and joins us now. thank you for being here. look we can all agree killing this bad guy was a good thing, but senator lindsey graham really gets the big picture question and let me read the quote. what unnerves me as ayman al-zawahiri felt good enough being out in the open in kabul after the taliban takeover. so much for rejecting al qaeda. this is positive afghanistan has once again become a safe haven for international terrorists. your response. >> i totally agree with that. what point are we thinking that al qaeda and the taliban were not working together at some point and to allow him for however long he has been in kabul to wander the streets unfettered, access to everything that he needs to do in finding out that he was in one of the houses of taliban leaders? i mean, it makes no sense to me whatsoever. >> carley: darren, i think the question is what does president biden do about it? does he do something about the taliban harboring th

. >> brian: no doubt about it he was a right-hand man a deep thinker alongside usama bin laden for years. he was in and arrested after the assassination that's how long he's been at it. we are hearing the fact that he was living in a residential area in kabul out in the open and they've been on him for months, what is at at say about the comfort he felt in afghanistan's capital to make you understand the roles al qaeda has with a new government? >> well this is a point of possible concern that obviously he really couldn't be there moving around without some knowledge of that the taliban having some knowledge of it. the unanswered question and probably best not to think about a publicly is to beget any inside information from the taliban? this is the unknown part right now probably be best if the public does not know. that is the problem with this transnational terrorism to be successful it requires some safe havens, some area of support from some national capability and that's always a challenge that we have globally. >> brian: general over the rise and work in this case how much better

in my opinion, a raid is what we did with usama bin laden. wasn't like, you know, oh, you know, we are not going to tell anybody. there was communication. there was a search warrant. you know, this wasn't done 3:00 in the morning where they were climbing over the ba former president's bed to get things in the closet. these are documents,,s it it's not like they haven't found anything. they have. these are documents that should have not left the white house and they are -- they have top security clearance. even fbi officials looking them over have to have the highest clearance that there is within our law enforcement agency. >> john: you stole my next element. ben, if we are talking about the appointment appointment of special master we are not going to get into methods and witnesses and so what. >> of course not. so much of the experience we have the fbi over the intelligence community over the past several years has included issue after issue where we were promised from the highest levels that to engage in such transparency would endanger so

the express purpose of getting rid of al qaeda in afghanistan as well as, as well as getting usama bin ladend. >> well, if al qaeda was gone why did we need a drone strike to take out al qaeda leader al-zawahiri? >> in fact they attacked me. they came out attacking me saying there were only a handful of al qaeda left. there are hundreds, far more than before 9/11, for the president to say al qaeda is gone is just incredulous. >> sit for a second. team, show the misleading statements from the white house on the afghanistan exit. it was completely botched also in the misleading representations and the lying. so you know, the other thing too, congressman, we're seeing from your report, is this true, that the president and his team knowingly misled america about the exit and after the fact even the offices for first lady joe biden, kamala harris's office and nsa jake sullivan their offices stepped in to get help, to help evacuate? >> yeah. we were trying to get people out myself. we went out to these outside veterans groups to get people out of afghanistan because our state department was so inc
