likely to strike iraq, iraq's proxies backed by iranians in the future or to respond to an attack on a ship to attack some of iranian's bases in the region. so this is what the principal focus has been strategically, get the united states out of iraq. they would see that as a major political victory. gillian: what about iran's nuclear program? you know, they haven't seized building -- ceased building their capabilitys in the last few months. maybe much of the world's strategic attention has been focused elsewhere, on combating other threats, but they're carrying on, are they not? >> yes, they are. they have increased their enriched uranium in violation of the so-called jcpoa or nuclear deal, they increased the number of advanced centrifuges in violation of that which brings them closer to a possibility of a quick move to a nuclear weapon and they have always, always denied the un inspection group from going into military sites, so-called secret sites, and everybody in the intelligence business believes that even when that deal was signed between the obama administration and iran, tha

>> you know this as well as me just kept going back to the iraq war. the intelligence agencies went through years of new processes and analysis following the misread of intelligence on iraq's methods of destruction to prevent political structure of those influences moving forward. if it is political influence here, that raises questions all those years of solving that problem in 2003. >> to button it up, it is terrible in a time of pandemic that you have to question just about every statement that comes out of the administration given their history, but question them we must. >>> up next for us, businesses in texas struggling with reopening under a strict new set of rules. like transform into an air fryer. the ninja foodi grill, the grill that sears, sizzles, and air fry crisps.

iraq war veteran and turning point u.s.a. spokesperson rob joins us. good morning to you. >> good morning, good morning. griff: rob. what is going on with the former vice president i get he is going to be running in november. he has got to remain relevant. but, really? >> well, what's going on with joe biden right now is while president trump is standing tall as the president of the united states, joe biden is hiding in a bunker struggling to finish sentences. that's what's going on right now. we need to be very clear about a couple of things. number one the wuhan virus, the coronavirus this virus came from china, okay? china is the reasonable why america is hurting right now. china is the reason why americans are dying right now. china is the reason why our economy is on life support right now. and for joe biden to try to push any of this on president trump, to me, is absolutely ridiculous. and, second of all, we have to look at what some of the local elected officials were saying in the early days of this virus. i'm coming to you from new york city.

clouds moving no way but that's just the arabian peninsula in iran it's obvious we've got big showers in iraq if you can draw in quite warm the same is true back in the bout time she's now in the low twenty's if you're lucky turkey has taken a dive temperature wise with us because we've picked up a few more showers. now the real wet stuff is for the sun is a big shot. back to uganda they will carry on but the focus is probably a bit fed assassin but on the western kenya and d.r. congo and once again we see a concentration in the breeze bringing in the showers towards the coast of tanzania the orange flash that's heavy rain. but. as the world fights the corona pandemic we're learning more about this every day the new passenger and join our global community it's up to us on how we come together to fight on soaring your questions can i just honestly trying to see directly what's coming on on you tube as you're saying i'm concerned about the fund like for nothing or a crisis and not keeping you up to date and we've seen countries beaten back and beaten back successfully the strain on 00. 0. 00. y

this was things like bush ii, you know, funding the iraq war with a series of emergency appropriations, rather than with real -- yes. and so, it's -- i'm more -- rather than that percentage, i'm more concerned about can we stop it? and when will we do so? and i don't see a stop in sight. it seems like both parties now are parties of spending and borrowing, and yeah. so, it's difficult to see what's going to brake, b-r-a-k-e, before a break, b-r-e-a-k. yes, thank you.

we've seen this in the last few years in the news and iraq in syria with the islamic state destroyed mosques, shrines and ancient sites, and hundreds of thousands of people in that region saw the things they cherished destroyed and assumed it would be the next victims. at a low risk strategy for the islamic state, resulted in a huge wave of refugees, a problem we are dealing with steel. so "hitler's last hostages" explores the many ways in which for hitler also the deliberate distraction and looting apart is a key strategy. hitler wanted to control not only what the germans pahpa with this author you wanted to limit creativity to aryans alone. this book tells these stores but she tells stories of artists who courageously fought against hitler's proclamation, risking their lives to create art church also tells the story of other more cowardly artists who sought as hard as they could to follow hitler's proclamations whether they were about hating jews or about the proper use of canvas and paint. she tells enthralling stories about the victims of nazi art obfuscation and also about the

but then you are asked to go into another war in iraq. you get in there and ultimately the fights between the sunnis and the shiites turned out to be much more than anybody anticipated. as you look back at the political problems that arose in iraq subsequent to saddam hussein being captured, what do you think was the mistake that was made, or what could have been done better in hindsight? gen. mattis: it is interesting to get the question look back in hindsight, but let me tell you what it looked like in foresight. we are in a very hot summer, 2003, and iraq has fallen. one of my briefs one day, a young officer who was briefing said, by the way, the enemy is picking this up that somehow we are going to disband the iraqi army. we were just bringing the iraqis back into the barracks, we were starting to pay them, trying to talk with them that we were not here to occupy or humiliate you, you work for a jerk, he is gone, you are going to be the new iraqi army. i dismissed it as idle gossip and said let's get on with the brief. the next day i

is a popular pastime during the muslim holy month of ramadan and iraq is no exception it is perhaps the only custom that has remained unaffected by the curfew imposed in response to cope with 19 and that has raised the stakes for those producing t.v. shows samantha 14 has the story from baghdad. even as public life in baghdad has largely come to a halt the cameras for this t.v. show never stopped rolling. it was scheduled to air during the fasting month of ramadan a prime time for television across the arab world and so the director has found ways to overcome the covert 19 lock down. around 90 percent of iraqi productions that response to air during ramadan were cancelled so there were no options the audiences would be bored was foreign in arabic content that they were watching in the past we impose a sort of semi quarantine for the programming team we only film inside this house we don't mix with other people and we took preventative measures. the name of the satirical comedy is well at all but which translates as state of melons a local expression used to describe a chaotic situation

we got problems in iraq. we had terrorist incident without the wall, the border, getting along with congress, one thing after another. the wall is one thing i talk about in the book as one of the crises that he dealt with. he promised in the campaign he would build a wall between the united states and mexico and have the mexican government pay for it. stop illegal immigration and the criminals come into the united states and so on. he still fighting for the wall so he staying with it and a lot of his people feel this is the right thing to do but it is a crisis that he still thing with now, and it's the wall instead of buildable. his argument is it started. this got wrapped up in the whole impeached trump controversy, another one i talk about in the book as a fundamental crisis that is dealing with. he is impeached. he deals with the special counsel who investigated him, his report in some ways was inconclusive but the democrats ran with it anyway. nancy pelosi the house speaker did not want to impeach him ini

it was joe biden pushing to get out of iraq against sound military advice. it was joe biden according to leon panetta who opposed at the rate at that actually killed bin laden. joe biden called donald trump a racist, a xenophobic person when he instituted the travel ban againstl china. joe biden has been wrong across the board on things that really matter. we will have a comparison and contrast complain about joe biden's judgment over time versus that of president trump's judgment over time. the caliphate came about because joe biden advised president obama, we need to get out of iraq and he was proud of that. he actually went to a ceremony when we left. the bottom line is without joe biden, there would be no isis. without donald trump, the caliphate would still exist. donald trump is the one who killed little general soleimani. i can't wait to compare andt contrast the judgment of president trump against vice president biden on foreign policy. this will be a knockout.be this will be over in round one on the debate stage. >> sean: i see all of that and now w

hostage crisis but president george w bushin crisis but president george w bush in the bad months of the iraq war managed to get himself re—elected. so having a drop in support now doesn't necessarily tell us much about which way it will go. not only that i think presidential approval as a metric now is less relevant to how people are assessing their leadership. what is much more releva nt leadership. what is much more relevant actually is how they are assessing their own lives. the rate of americans who are thriving has also limited this month, and those other metrics that we gather all around the world and seen declined right before things like the arab uprising, the ukraine war, the vote for brexit, even the election of president trump himself. those number and that metric is what we are watching most closely, and most specifically with regards to social unrest and some of the content social unrest and some of the co nte nt you social unrest and some of the content you have earlier in your programme. briefly and historically does a 43% in april approval rating tell us anything about what

flash flooding we've seen flooding in salary recently as well there was this continues it's dry in iraq it might be cloudy of a little bit in syria but generally speaking the event is far and the temperatures are rising as even true in southern turkey but you follow that system down actually from yemen through the horn of africa to what is developing now see on the shore breezes the seas no rain has produced recent flooding and landslides in kenya will do again it's tanzania kenya ethiopia and somalia the normally involved with countries to the west getting equally seasonal rain is but mogadishu could be involved here as well and it doesn't rain that often in mogadishu tanzania is how the worst of it and kenya more recently and i think the other committee to be a case further south is a generally dry picture evening cape time but on monday there could be a few showers. take the worst possible material you radio grinded into dust comparable to flour and make up the ladder and put it into a place where people live think is a colossal event i just go and look for many people after this or

they made millions in iraq. they've made millions in ukraine they've made millions in china. and then i got about four more places where they made million. so we're not dealing with a fair and square guy like you think he is. >> america lost millions -- billions -- >> it's not sweet old dopey joe. it's crooked old -- >> i have to let you go. jesse: that's right a lot of nicknames just take your pick, thank you.

bush left the country with two ongoing wars in afghanistan and iraq. obama was elected because he was going to end the wars so he added three more in syria, libya and yemen. to date, despite the iran thing, trump has not added - seems to favor theatrical displays of force as an alternative to deeper engagement, postponing it. the other area he has shown his own predilections, by bringing in robert lighthizer, very accomplished ustr who is a democrat, not a republican until he switched in 2016-17 so i think trump, i'm just inferring this from his actions, i'm going to write a blank check to the republicans in congress on domestic policy but i will push my priorities in foreign-policy and particularly trade. >> i think the first couple years of the administration illustrated the institutional weakness we've been talking about where the apparatus of domestic policy, this is not heritage 1981 it was ready for the reagan revolution, this is a group of people who were largely blindsided, i don't think you have seen a substantial realignment and how things ha

so through a series of events all building up through the 14th of july in iraq. the coup was led by this man nobody knew who this guy was egyptians didn't know who he was the americans didn't the russians didn't he was a complete unknown factor. the coup plotters were not pro- egyptian but people on the streets demonstrated immediately where their sympathies were with the streets in baghdad on jul july 14 the tanks that overthrew the government had nasser all over them it wasn't a big stretch to come to the conclusion this was the egyptian sponsored coup the lebanese at that point this gentleman was the prime minister and the president of lebanon in the fifties had a highly sectarian government based on fiction that christians are the majority of the people even by 1950 but that was the government as the colonial master in the twenties and thirties the prime minister is sunni muslim by convention the president only serves one term in 1958 he was obviously seeking a second term everybody knew it. it was messier than that so the dominant christian church actually s

to iraq now where the curfew imposed last month to contain the spread of the virus has partially been lifted some businesses are now allowed to open during the day the lockdown remains in place at night and during the weekends but even before the restrictions were eased the people had already found ways to stay in business so manifold in reports in the capital baghdad. at 1st sight businesses in iraq's capital appear to abide by the curfew that has been in place for over a month to contain the coronavirus pandemic but not on the close shutters and they will slide open just enough for visitors to sneak in like many other businesses this barber shop has been operating secretly throughout much of the curfew. i'm forced to go out i have to pay rent tricity food and medicine for my elderly father a model how can i pay this is my work i don't have any order in corner. shop owners who defy government orders risk temporary detention the police turn up several times a day at these nurseries to arrest their owners this time they were let go after al jazeera arrived at the scene. normally they'r

the number of people hoping to reach europe has swelled by huge wave of refugees from was in syria iraq and afghanistan. thousands of people attesting europe's buddhas by the sea from libya to italy and from taki to greece and then continuing overland to europe's more affluent countries. these scenes of from hungary as refugees attempt to travel west we are humans where the humanity where the world to see us look everyone here they are fatherless we don't need anything just a troll it's. not. just good luck on evil it's a. good joke. in response europe is building moves today there are 5 existing fences across the continent with at least one of the 6 either in construction scheduled. most of these rules separate e.u. nations from countries outside the union but some fences a planned between member states a move that's against the spirit of the e.u. according to the e.u.'s foreign policy chief europe was built on the idea that walls have to fall down europe was built on the idea of coming together. there are more refugees and migrants traveling around the ward within africa within asia t

and in iraq a plot against abu jihad was uncovered. this is the. stuff now. gun with a clean behind the mask but oh the mascot of the. capital of the yeah. i love. that rocky. prevalence about the gun free arm of the. head of them but. luckily. it did follow the lead of. one of the. womanly end of 2nd week. in early april 988 abu jihad traveled from baghdad to. there he received a call from a close friend a moroccan living in france called mohammed al douri. he said he had an important security message for the fattest leadership. at liberty they were had they were part unser. going to sell him the bus with a lot of hama. to the lot of us voters as well but overall a little luck and good luck for him for but i had to look well. let me elaborate a bit when i'm hammered that was. a little. how i look here sophia you know well look at that. one from this number because. of the political partisan that. one of you lot have you heard called love. here. are the 2 how did you decide on the fullest harmony you're showing me and those of us that you know that's the bit.

said about that, partly because from there, a lot of cases from the middle east spread, including from iraq. here in the gulf saudi arabia was under the microscope with how many people going there near hajj, and also because saudi arabia chairs the g20 this year. there have been a lot of questions about what they are doing, not only domestically, but regionally they took the first step to announce the closure of mosques to worshippers. that was a very important step because it allowed the rest of the muslim world to say, yes, we will close mosques. here in the uae, one of the first countries decided to close schools in the region. at the time, it was seen as quite drastic. this was seven weeks ago. but it was very important to limit the cases. they have been very proactive in testing. the uae approach, we're going to get this under control if we test rigorously and take very stringent measures about having people outdoors. decisions to keep people at home came quite early. working from home was started in about mid—march. towards late march, people were working at home except from essenti

the caliphate came about because joe biden advise president obama we need to get out of iraq. he went to ceremony when we left, without joe biden, there would be no isis, and without donald trump the caliphate would be done i exist, joe biden opposed killing qasem soleimani. i can't wait to compare and contrast the judgment of president trump against that of vice president biden on foreign policy, this will be a knockout, this will be over in round one drown on the debate stage. >> sean: i see all of that, now we have to get to the issue of reopening the country. we keep talking about reopening, i'm in the epicenter of this thing. new york city, long island, i'm in both places. every time i go to a grocery store, they are packed. the guys stocking the shelves are there and i talked to one guy two weeks ago and i said please put your mask on, thanks for all you're doing, he didn't have his mask on, i said you got to, put it on. he did, probably sick of wearing it like everybody. the point is, new york would starve if people didn't work. those guys stocking the shelves, they are

you say there are lessons from your fight against al qaeda and iraq that apply here as well. explain what you mean? >> in 2003 when al qaeda in iraq emerged. they were different than anything we had seen before. they were fast moving, viral, lethal. in reality, very much like covid 19, we had to take a different approach where we distributed our force, but we synchronized our effort every day. >> and that was obviously successful operation at that time. you say your experience during the ebola outbreak taught you the value of communications. explain how. >> let me just say, i dealt with the ebola crisis, the obama white house and the cdc immediately contacted us when they thought this pandemic could come to the united states of america and immediately we got on the phone with the white house and the cdc. they were very helpful. i immediately set up an incident command. i brought all our health professionals together and said, we're going to deal with this together. i built two hospitals so people could be designated. made sure we had all the equipment, and i worked with then

., and your also an iraq war medic veteran. so you've heard people make the comparisons that this pandemic, you know, is compared to a war zone. given you've been through all of it now, all those layers that i just described, how would you compare this? >> you know, i've been saying this since day one, when we start seeing that overwhelming amount of patients in our e.r. just like covid-19 bomb drop in our city and in our emergency department. what made this different, you know, based upon what experience i had in iraq as there are bullets and the bombs you are not seeing for everyone. it's just us in the hospital whoor the battlefield that are seeing the grave effect it has on the population in general. and so much of the, for me, what i felt, the ptsd and most of my colleagues who worked in war zones, we are reliving that mental emotion and mental toll on us. one thing i would say and for everyone watching, be glad that you're not in the war zone because the amount of physical and mental toll it's taken on all of us is insurm

with multiple tours of iraq and afghanistan he put himself in harm's way for freedom under way of life. 33 years of total service, he was unjustly targeted by deep state bureaucrats that clearly, with all the evidence to prove it, wanted to take him down. we have unsealed documents to prove that corrupt agents from jim comey's fbi were discussing strategies on how to set general flynn up on what we call a perjury trap. according to one handwritten note, an unnamed agent asked, what is our goal here? is it truth? admission? or to get him to live? to get him to live, is that our goal? we can prosecute him or get him fired. it is at the fbi's role? at this, in a email peter strzok and his fbi lover lisa page discuss how to casually slip in an admonition about lying under oath in order to set a perjury trap. these agents were preparing for an interview that ultimately did take place on january 24th, 2017. they warned the trump administration, truth be told it was an ambush. a legal abuse of power. during the phone call it was mccabe who recommended to flynn, you don't need to have an attor

well that yes they jack up that i was only going to iraq as a live world with a good day a month that you're going to load. all that arcadia my 30 of those on me just begin looking the way which are low level doctor will they get the word us really and i know. what that was that i was able to your question with the man who was me out there with the me. but we were the. art right here by. the word to mean what he may marry him as a. plain. emu would be good i'm in the game for being married to be a pretty as they were both the bad maybe bored the corner looking at the memo make a buck out of barely even be it i'm wrong last time we want to guess a bigger game would be as a lead and made me be the. radical girl so much in mark any. doubt that dying barker's a mocking me. about the way danny there's are people born equal percy. for a woman to be cast out by her in-laws is nothing short of the societal death penalty in india. so. it's good. as in china and india the lack of women of marriageable age in south korea has now become a problem. you know we've half you got through with all. in

they are likely practicing drills, as we always do, in preparation for future attacks in iraq by the iranians' proxies or possibly incidents at sea, dealing with the small boats that we all saw on the internet and on television, in terms of the harassment. the bluster that comes out of the iranians is all talk, because they know full well that if they got in any kind of engagement with the united states, the united states would take down all of their maritime bases, which are on the iranian coast, rather quickly. they don't have much of a navy. they have a considerable amount of small boats. we could do some other things to them. they are very much aware of the price they would pay for using lethal force against the united states navy. in terms of president trump, he's not taking away the rules of engagement that the navy is using, in terms of when they would use lethal force. when does something turn from harassment to something that is presenting itself as an absolute threat to a ship? running around in circles around a ship, while that is of concern to the navy, they don't interpr

bush back in 2006 when unease over the iraq war led to democrats reclaiming congress and then two years later winning the presidency. let's talk about some of this. joining me now, political reporter for the washington examiner, emily larson. emily, good to see you this morning. good morning. let's talk about the president's comments and suggesting about injecting disinfectant as a possible cure for covid-19 as he did, i believe, on friday. it has shocked world leaders, to say the least. what have you heard as to the reason why the president decided to either walk it back or suggest, in fact, that he was being sarcastic which we can just by the tape was not necessarily the case? >> i think the president clearly heard a lot of criticism directed towards him for his comments. his story was changing as to why he made those comments, who he made those comments to, but the important part of the discussion, this whole situation, is that i think it's prompted the president to take a look about whether these daily coronavirus briefings are helping him and the day after he made these comments, h

bush had a mission accomplished moment about iraq, you know, which is a war that lasted for many years later. so, sure, i understand that it is upsetting to the president, the people are pointing out that he didn't do anything for several weeks, but all he does in answer to that is keep pointing to the end of january. that's it. >> so selectively edited your words and sounded like a campaign video. in terms of his motivation now, having washed his hands of the state's decisions, he didn't issue a nationwide stay at home order, he repeatedly told the states it would be up to them to try to bid -- outbid each for ventilators and protective equipment, why does he want to step back in now? i understand wanting to take the glory of the country reopening and coming back to life, so many things can go wrong. this is -- it is so complicated trying to reopen the country. why now does he want to step back in and say it is all up to him? >> i think there is a couple of things, alisyn. i think there is top advisers working for him who don't fully understand how the federal government works and thi

while we are still fighting in iraq and afghanistan, there isn't as much of a greater threat, as there was back in world war ii with the nazis and the japanese? >> i don't know. i think people would argue that the threat levels are just as high in our post-9/11 world. but, you are not the first person to think about what is happening to patriotism. what is happening to the >> would it be something about how paying money towards the government is somehow viewed as a socialist effort that people are now completely turned off from? >> it has to do with what do americans think about socialism and capitalism and all the other isms. is it not good anymore to pay money to the government? i want to throw in a related question on this for you to think about. are americans more gung ho about paying taxes today? what about that? what about getting a cartoon out there to help americans feel better about paying their taxes? wait for the mike. >> i was going to say, society is different and people are more selfish today. >> people are more selfish today. >> yes, they are not willing to do those type

i remember when george bush had a 90% approval rating after the original iraq war. but the economy wasn't doing very well. it was interesting that bill clinton understood that it was all about the economy. i think at this point in time people are focused on how he's , how he'she virus projecting his leadership and at some point i think we are going to get through this but come november, the question may be more about how is the economic situation then it is the virus. going tohat's really be important going forward and i know that terry is imminently involved with the biden campaign is how does joe biden project himself as the leader for the next four years? how is he able to talk about not just this situation but any situation that can arise economic something involving a military conflict. i think it's going to be incumbent on jove to be able to show that he has the leadership ability. virus. right now it's later on it's going to be about the pocketbook. it always seems to come down to the pocketbook in virtually every election. what donor mcauliffe, you think? >>

this, more people are going to die this month than died on september 11th, the afghanistan war, the iraq war, and the vietnam war just from this. and, mika, it actually -- this is the best case scenario. >> right. >> if we do everything right. if florida shuts down, and if everybody shuts down, 100 to 240,000 is the best case scenario. it could be worse. >> the president says he closed the borders. he knew about it. every time he talks about closing the borders, he lets us know he chose not to ramp up on testing. he chose not to put together a team, perhaps refill the pandemic office that he emptied out. he chose not to stock up on masks and supplies. he is telling us that he knew about this and did nothing every time he talks about the one thing he did. >> but hold on. willie, he didn't even close the borders the correct way with china. i know there are a lot of people that say democrats, how dare you close -- close the borders for god sake! i mean, that's -- that's -- that's just not hard to figure out. close the borders from china. and yet. >> it was piecemeal. >> and yet it was piece

the iranian general is based on solemani who we killed a couple of months ago in iraq. parallelsa lot of between this iranian's general -- this iranian general. differentt something and want something to entertain you and stretch your awareness of what is possible, i think "shakedown" is a good book. i am delighted to work with peter, we are proud of it. host: are you worried about the president's instructions to take gunboatsiranian harassing vessels? is this escalating the situation? caller: i don't think we are escalating. if we say to the iranians, you , they-- a safety zone iranians have a simple choice. just don't do it. do is run the risk, as we had happen with the -- coler coal in yemen in yemen, one of those blowing up. there are ground rules for how ships invade each other. what we are saying to the iranians this, if we think you are putting an american worship and harm's way, we are going to eliminate you. uranium navy has virtually -- given the iranian navy has no chance, i think that is a good response to a dictatorship that has been targeting american spir
