The truth at the very beginning his heart was for leaving
But his head after listening to his advisers said you have to stay and as president ultimately
I think you have to allow your head to tell you what reality isn't you have to rely on people?
like General Mattis or General Kelly our gentlemen of
McMaster, and that's what he did and I think he put together his national security team along with
the secretary to listen and they said to him unanimously pulling out would be a
Disaster and so he had to go through a long process of saying fine
Show me a way of staying in that makes sense
And I think this is a step in the right direction
If we emphasize pressure on Pakistan if we liberate our forces to use all of their combat
capability and not have them restricted by lawyers back in Washington
and if we are prepared to really focus on training the Afghan military and the Afghan police
I think over the long run. We will eventually succeed, but it's a long difficult process
Doesn't necessarily happen based on TV schedules or election schedules
And I like very much the president saying he wasn't going to have some false schedule. He wasn't going to have some false limits
He was going to let the military do their job and reinforce them based on circumstances
No
But one thing is said, we're going to pick up a jack key next hour the general about being more aggressive in this fighting I
Thought that was clear and that and the tone from last evening in the words he chose and we'll see what happens with this relationship
In Pakistan I mean about 16 years later. It's not easy if it were we the solvent years ago, and then go ahead
remember bill just for a second remember if you
Liberate American Forces from Truly stupid rules of engagement you allow them to Apply Sound military behavior
You're going to get three or four or five times the effectiveness out of the same number of troops
Because they have been so crippled by the Obama rules of engagement that it has been pathetic
including finding some of their new as a taliban person they weren't allowed to shoot at
Because the rules of engagement of the 12 lawyers involved all said gee that's wrong
I mean
This is a huge break with the last eight years and will dramatically empower our military to be far more effective
Let me get similar top
He's going to visit the border a part of it later tonight, then he's got this rally in Phoenix
Clearly that there will be protesters. How many will see they will garner a level of media coverage as you know as well?
What does he gain from doing this Rally tonight?
Well, I think he keeps faith with his base
Reminds them that he is still committed to controlling the border gives him a chance by the way to tell them that I think
Illegal crossings are down
76% also a tribute to general John Kelly when he was homeland security it also gives him a chance
I think to remind the Corps trump supporters across the country of
The core values that led them to Deploy him in the first place, it'll be fascinating to watch
Because he's clearly in transition
He has a very presidential speech to a veterans organization tomorrow
And so he's right now in the balance does he go back to a much more divisive?
Angry Rhetoric tonight, or does he stick with this this presidential style which last night gave him enormous?
Positives when you saw people like Lindsey Graham who've been very severe critics at times Lindsey spent almost 15 minutes on Fox last night
Praising the president's supporting the president saying exactly the right kind of things
My hope would be that he will sidestep senators McCain and flake
He's going to need both of them this fall in terms of the agenda
This is not a place to pick a fight and I hope that he will be more presidential and less confrontational tonight
But pope though look he is the president he gets to do what he wants to it will say tonight at 10 o'clock
What's the smart money saying that?
Well, I wrote understanding trump. I didn't write predicting from I don't think it's copyrighted
I think I think all of his advises all of his advisers are going to say please focus in a positive way
And when the audience starts reacting and then he starts getting excited who knows what's going to happen
I gather why people watch this yeah, well primetime covers on that quickly schema Duchin mitch McConnell talking yesterday
What what do you think is the most realistic way forward for the Republican majority at Labor Day I?
Am very worried as somebody who's passed a fair amount of big reform legislation
They need to focus on a simple
Clear tax cut with a big component for small business try to get to a 15% rate for corporations and a nice
Solid middle-class tax cut it has to be signed by Thanksgiving
And it has to impact the first and second quarters of next year if we're going to keep the house
I think the danger of ending up with speaker pelosi is wrapped up
Directly in whether or not we can pass a tax cut and I'm afraid
That the guys who failed to pass obamacare is repeal are about to go through exactly the same dance
Reassuring us right up to the failure that they can do something very complicated. I think it ought to be clean
simple
Driving the American economy focusing on the American economy
And every step that makes it more complicated and every step that takes longer
Strikes me as a danger for this republican majority in both the house and the senate well stated sir
Thank you for your time and all that newt gingrich and we await your next book
Thank you her addicting trump how to be a good one
Thank you very much, sir. Here's Shannon. That's an impossible bill. That is an impossible book. You're probably right?
Have fun riding it though someone will all right another big theme for the president speech last night making sure we don't leave another
vacuum for terrorists in Afghanistan
The comments come as we continue to learn more about the isis terror
Cell responsible for the terror attacks in Spain last week, we're going to talk to a former cia officer about that next plus
Dozens hurt after a high-speed train crashes outside a major u.s. City
Details on that as frightening stories from passengers begin to pour in
Well bouquets they never go pay I pasted to the wall with a big hole in the wall, and then I went straight down
I'm glad
It was loud. I mean and it hurt
Fought for and bled to liberate and one were occupied by a terrorist group called isis
The vacuum we created by leaving too soon gave safe. Haven for isis to spread to grow
recruit and launch attacks
We cannot repeat in Afghanistan the mistake our leaders made in Iraq
Presidential says he's not willing to make the same mistakes in Afghanistan that he says were made in Iraq
Meanwhile in the aftermath of last week's terror attacks in Spain police have shot and killed the driver of the van
That's rove into a crowd of people
They say he's the one who killed 13 and injured more than a hundred all suspects in that terror cell
They say are now dead or in custody. We're talking about 12 people
We're learning some troubling new information about the cell as well joining me now box-section former officer with the Cia
Goodell with us sure ok so they say this is it we got these 12 guys
They're all wrapped up a dead four in custody how?
confident
Do you think they can be this quickly that they've gotten everybody and what kind of intel do you think they'll get from the four
In custody well they think that right now the imminent
Threat has greatly lessened
But they're going to have to look very closely at what additional connection the cell members may have had most notably
That whom they believed to be the ringleader of this at least from a radicalization
Perspective Spanish authorities think that aldo backe as sati and Imam. Who actually has some tie to the Madrid
2004 train bombings by sharing a prison cell the individual who was serving time for that they believe that that Imam was perhaps the
Spur of radicalization for all of this group and so who was he in contact with what was his travel?
They're going to look very closely and they will be looking very closely at that
My understanding is he was the ones who one of the ones who was killed in this explosion that happened the night before the van
Attacks a lot of people think well authorities have said they were hoarding gas canisters
They believe they could have been planning something very destructive with multiple events and locations and attacks
But because of that explosion the night before which must have been a mistake on their part
Did that Force their hand into going ahead with the two attacks?
We saw the following day it certainly seems like that's what they were trying to work with tatp
Which is an explosive that if you make some mistakes you can actually end up?
Having the whole house go up. Which is what seemed to happen here and in the process they were trying to build large bombs
They had rented a few vehicles
They were trying to rent a very large vehicle to build a vehicle born improvised explosive device of EBi idi
Because the house went up, and it's believed actually that the imam was killed in that house
They're not yet, sure they're looking at the Dna that. They've been able to extract they went forward with this other plan now
They're going to be looking
I think in addition to everything else that's in play right now at what could have been missed here. What were the authorities?
what could the authorities have seen that they didn't and based on everything reported so far the
Tradecraft of this cell to have a dozen individuals who have radicalized get together
Move to a safe house perhaps cut off all contact from that safe house, no internet
No phone not leave any of the signatures that law enforcement and security services would use to track them down
This is the nightmare scenario
This is when it's very difficult for law enforcement to be able to catch this in progress and quite honestly
I think looking back at this there is a sense that the casualty count could have been much higher
If it were not for that bomb going off and forcing them to go to plan B
Okay, so if that imam was indeed killed in an explosion again. That's the initial theory here as they continue more testing
How do they begin to Branch out and look out to others that he may have?
Influenced you say they did such a good job of just sort of living off the grid as far as I know they weren't on
Watchlist these people were not red flagged by anybody
How far could his connections go big question about this imam will be his travel where he went overseas
Certainly it seems likely that he would have gone to North Africa
And there's already some
Reporting on that if he were to have had an extended stay there people be asking questions like was he perhaps in
Contact with al-qaeda in the islamic Maghreb or was he in contact with an isis affiliate in North Africa
We know that there was a strong one operating in Libya for a while
There are a number of places where extremist connectivity could have occurred in person, but then again
He may have also just been somebody who radicalized who was an imam?
Who had that Gravitas in Jihadist Circles to?
To exploit young people and convince them that they should engage in this kind of an attack
It may really just end with him and we'll have to see what connectivity you got well it keeps getting us back to that fundamental
Critical problem is that overcoming the ideology much tougher than just bombing out a city
You know when people have disbelief and are willing to give their lives for it and willing to radicalize others in the process
how do we begin to
Turn back the philosophy. I mean you feels like something that can take decades generations. It is a multi-generational
Fight it's a struggle. It's a struggle within islam
It's a struggle for the international community certainly for the west and all of our allies
finding a very very small percentage of individuals who are radicalized in this way before they can engage in attack is actually something that we
in America and our allies have become very good at
But that gets much less attention than the occasional attack likes it like this that gets through just a question of continued vigilance and trying
To honestly get lucky and it looks like you our men and women are working
24/7 to protect the rest of Us and like you said a lot of their efforts
We never know about so thank you and all those who out there are doing network things
Right about 9:30 now in a moment vice president Mike pence saying a new way forward in Afghanistan is long overdue in
Many ways we haven't had one strategy for all those years we've had 16 different years 16 different strategies
What president trump announced yesterday?
Was a whole new strategy for South Asia so that from this morning
Have our lawmakers now reacting to this new strategy a member of house foreign affairs committee Congressman ron
De Santos here live on that to answer that question jim a terrifying scene outside a County courthouse a judge
Firing back after getting ambushed by a gunman why police say the shooter may have known the judge very well
In a quarrel when he seen a judge coming down he jumped out of the car just run up to the judge and started shoot
and
the judge backed up
We will not dictate to the afghan people how to live or how to govern their own complex
Society we are not
Nation-building again, we are killing
Terrorists Plenty reaction from Capitol Hill to President Trump's new
Afghanistan strategy including praise from two republicans who have long called for new Direction in America's longest war here
South Carolina Senator, Lindsey Graham
I'm proud. I'm relieved I'm proud of the fact that president trump made a national security decision not a political decision
I'm proud of the fact that he listened to the generals and
most part of the fact that he shows the will to stand up the radical Islam and
Senator John Mccain releasing a statement saying I commend president trump for taking a big step in the right direction
The unfortunate truth is that the strategy is long overdue
Nevertheless, I believe the president is now moving us well Beyond the prior administration's failed strategy of merely postponing defeat
Joining me now, Florida Republican Congressman ron de santis member of the house oversight and foreign affairs committee
And continuing to serve in our navy as well
It is good to be here, okay?
So your reaction to this because it is getting praise from a couple of folks who are not normally?
Publicly praising the president for his every move in tweet. What do you think why thought he did a good job last night?
I thought it was a great presentation and look this is a president
He didn't really talk as much about afghanistan the campaign, but he would always talk about Iraq
How he thought that was a mistake, but he also would always say if you're in you
don't just pull the troops out if that means terrorists are going to take over so he faulted obama for that, so
