1:28

potential criminal action a

conducted with to of mister trump's lawyers

2:36

every republican

2:39

police as the f b i was exhausted

2:41

2:48

citizens the we're federal government has gone

2:50

it's gone it's what we thought about

2:51

just stop or b people like that threats

2:54

against law enforcement spiked dramatically

2:56

online using extreme rhetoric

2:59

not seen since the days leading up to

3:01

the january sixth attack on the capital

3:03

any threats made against law enforcement

3:06

including the men women the f b i

3:08

as with any law enforcement agency are

3:10

are deplorable

3:11

and dangerous sorry hey ricky schaeffer

3:14

a navy veteran who said he was at the capitol

3:16

on january six was shot

3:18

and killed by police following his

3:20

armed attempt to breach and f b i field

3:23

office in cincinnati ohio while

3:25

the standoff with schiffer was still ongoing

3:27

attorney general merrick garland offered

3:30

aware of public statements defending

3:32

the search

3:33

i personally approved the decision

3:35

to seek a search warrant in this matter

3:38

the department does not take such a decision

3:40

lightly

3:41

the court then agreed to garlands requests to

3:43

unseal the warrant trump's

3:45

lawyers did not object that

3:47

warren gave us some insight friday

3:50

into what received the

3:52

deal j investigation began months ago

3:54

following the national archives discovery

3:56

that some of mister trump's presidential

3:58

records had nothing to the over

4:00

as dictated by law the

4:02

former president acknowledged she'd taken

4:04

material to marla go after he left

4:07

office and return fifteen boxes

4:09

in january soon after that

4:11

officials disclose that classified national

4:13

security information was among those

4:15

materials this ,

4:17

a federal judge issued a subpoena in search

4:20

of further records said investigators believed

4:22

he failed to turn over on

4:24

june third federal agents return tomorrow

4:26

lago tomorrow discuss additional material that was

4:28

missing cbs news has learned

4:30

that trump attorney certified in writing

4:33

after that meeting that all classified

4:35

materials had been removed

4:36

mara law though

4:37

the o j suspected that was not the case

4:40

which triggered the s the eyes retrieval

4:42

last monday and

4:45

there is still a lot we do not now

4:47

news organizations including cbs

4:49

have filed a freedom of information act request

4:52

for the release of the underlying affidavits

4:55

that would outline evidence and give us insight

4:57

into why the o j officials believe a crime

4:59

possibly have been committed we

5:02

begin today with sheath election campaign

5:04

correspondent robert costa sheath national

5:06

affairs and justice correspondent justice the gays

5:08

and congressional correspondents scott

5:10

macfarlane you've all been busy jeff

5:12

i want to start with you in the news overnight

5:14

that homeland security has issued this

5:17

a rather frightening bullet and frankly using

5:19

language talking about threats to law enforcement

5:21

around the country or nicole

5:24

kinda obtained it's and according to bulletin

5:26

it says the threats are specific including

5:28

a threat to place a so called dirty

5:31

bomb in front of f b i headquarters

5:33

and there are calls for civil

5:35

war what are your sources telling

5:37

you about the rest of us this is

5:39

as he noted one of the most chilling

5:41

bulletins i've read and i've read

5:43

numerous bulletins dating back to the

5:45

the days of al qaeda and isis

5:48

and so this is the domestic threats here

5:51

and according to the board and was i was just

5:53

looking out again part of a concern

5:55

or some of these drivers public officials

5:57

making statements in support of a search

5:59

laura lago are against

6:02

criticizing the search criticizing the f

6:04

b i and so you have up the i officials

6:06

right now concerned about the safety of

6:08

their agents employees

6:10

in general and let as he noted

6:12

that dirty bomb reference

6:15

a so there is a lot of concern of around the

6:17

country and this and this kind of bullets in that will

6:19

go out to all police agencies

6:21

have that they are intent on sharing

6:24

information because frankly you don't really

6:26

know where the threat is really going to come

6:28

from

6:28

and any mentions continued concerned

6:31

going into the mid term races as

6:33

well a robbery i

6:35

want to go to you now you know we were talking

6:37

about this investigation and putting it in

6:40

the scope of all the different probes

6:42

and we tally them up here for

6:45

, former president or at least three investigations

6:47

that the federal level that we know about

6:50

one state probe in new york into the trump organisation

6:52

the trump jury and fulton county georgia's

6:55

looking his attempts over twenty twenty

6:57

we're not even talking about what's happening capital help these

7:00

these are investigation is underway right now

7:02

this however triggered

7:04

the most significant law

7:07

enforcement response to dates

7:09

what are your sources tell you about what

7:11

the f b i his

7:12

that we found it's such a good

7:14

reminder margaret's that among

7:16

all these investigations that are ongoing

7:18

this one going back to the spring has been

7:21

very serious in the attorney general statements

7:23

underscore that it began with a subpoena

7:25

in the spring then the search the meeting

7:27

in june than of that led to the ultimate

7:29

search and august's at the president's residence

7:32

they are looking into the boxes that

7:34

he had personal materials as well

7:36

as classified materials allegedly that

7:39

were then included as part of the the

7:41

trove of materials and documents that went

7:43

to more a lot of they are highly alarmed

7:45

behind the scenes about the possibilities

7:47

that as you have reported intercepts

7:50

sensitive information about national security

7:52

defense projects were part of what

7:54

the former president brought back to florida

7:57

without checking with other people some associates

7:59

or the former president say hey he is someone

8:01

who sometimes was an organized but

8:04

for the justice department's that's not going

8:06

to be an excuse that that's part of

8:08

their investigations what does he

8:10

have is it a threat to the national security

8:13

and they want him to give it back but it's already

8:15

a legal battle and why wait eighteen

8:17

months to asked what triggered this

8:20

tremendous response this week we've

8:22

so many questions out

8:23

get to start with matthew on the politics of that's

8:26

because we're , there

8:28

are some that scott under threat levels

8:30

i know you have been watching the

8:32

level of concern out there proceedings

8:35

the events of this week week

8:38

a when we look at the present the former present statements

8:40

he uses words like siege a

8:42

task that the f b

8:45

i is really targeting him

8:47

he has not called for palms

8:49

he is continuing to use this rhetoric

8:51

what impact

8:52

their immediate li we see this quick a seller

8:55

acceleration of ferocious

8:57

chatter on social media platforms

8:59

on chat groups from potential

9:02

extremists targeting the

9:04

judge the search warrant

9:06

they're trying to deduce who the f b i agents

9:08

were we're part of that search

9:11

but that's just an inflammation of

9:13

an already dangerous situation stemming from

9:15

january sixth the prosecution

9:18

the capital riot has created

9:20

it's own radicalization the

9:23

dc federal judges family the january

9:25

six cases are getting bio

9:27

bulger death threats

9:30

the people who are part of the investigation

9:32

are getting threats the prosecution

9:35

itself as radicalizing people now

9:37

we have a force multiplier search

9:39

of monologue

9:40

and what's so interesting here is we're

9:42

not just had not rhetoric online for

9:44

homeland security to have gone out

9:47

taken what you laid out and then issued a

9:49

bulletin saying this is saying real

9:51

specific threat that shows

9:54

that this that this this isn't just

9:56

people talking out of school

9:58

the law or like that let me look

9:59

in the in ohio on

10:02

thursday with is ricky schiffer

10:04

who was you know took action

10:06

tried to attack bus f b i

10:09

cincinnati office a

10:11

but was shot and killed but it it is the

10:13

kind of threat but officials are concerned

10:15

about bees or loan at actors

10:18

who are motivated by some other

10:20

drivers which is these public statements

10:23

from public leadership the days

10:25

support they endorse and

10:28

what you are hearing or these calls for armed

10:30

rebellion and are there are people out

10:32

there who obviously have access

10:34

to the weapons to really cause

10:37

some damage

10:38

deeply concerning i'm robert

10:41

how say you have been reporting that's

10:43

the forty fifth president would like to run

10:45

again and

10:46

making some plans to run

10:49

for president and twenty twenty four how does this

10:51

impact that this is factored

10:53

into his decision into some way i'm

10:55

told by people close to him this weekend's that

10:57

he still moving toward an announcement despite

10:59

all of the legal challenges legal is

11:01

facing potentially damaging we're

11:04

not saying it's not damaging use it

11:06

this could be extremely damaging we have so

11:08

little visibility into what he put

11:10

in these boxes was it a a grave national

11:13

security threats it could be politically

11:15

explosive down the line but

11:17

we don't want to get ahead of that in terms of the political

11:19

impact but it in no way does seem to be

11:21

deterring him for moving toward when what we

11:23

are seeing behind the scenes also is is

11:25

arguing that he has some kind of declassification

11:28

i spoke with national security advisor the former

11:30

one john bolton who worked for trump and

11:32

he said any argument said this was somehow

11:35

declassified won't hold

11:37

off because he said the president had the responsibility

11:40

to take care of the records he was given from

11:42

intelligence briefers even if he brought them back

11:44

to the resident he had a responsibility

11:46

to make sure they were filed properly and

11:49

that even if he didn't have the intent of committing

11:51

a crime said it was the wrong thing to do

11:53

be a paper trail this is an ongoing

11:56

story know all of your busy thank you

11:59

we want to donate a california democratic

12:02

congressman adam schiff he's the chairman

12:04

of the intelligence committee and his book midnight

12:06

in washington is now out in paperback

12:09

the morning to chairmanship

12:12

the morning

12:13

you are typically the about covert operations

12:15

ongoing national security

12:17

swaps do you have any sense

12:20

at this time whether the information

12:22

that donald trump had in this florida

12:24

residents posed any

12:26

kind of threat to national security

12:30

well all i know about the actual materials

12:33

is what was in that search warrant

12:35

inventory of but from that alone you can

12:37

tell there was a serious risk it

12:40

had to disclosure potentially of sources

12:42

and methods because some of those documents

12:44

were marked top secret sensitive compartments

12:47

it information that ,

12:49

among the highest a designation in terms

12:51

of the as the extremely grave

12:53

damage national security that

12:55

could be done if it were disclosed

12:58

as on the fact that they were in unsecure place

13:01

that is garden with nothing more than nothing more

13:04

were whatever security the had at a hotel

13:07

or is deeply alarming i

13:09

and i have asked where along with sherman

13:11

maloney the damage

13:14

assessment by the intelligence community and a briefing

13:16

to congress

13:17

will you get one have you heard from the director

13:19

of national intelligence

13:21

i have not heard back yet know but i'm

13:23

confident we will get one and i'm confident

13:25

the intelligence community will do a damage assessment

13:27

that is i think fairly routine when

13:30

there has been or the potential

13:32

risk of disclosure of national

13:34

security information of classified information what

13:37

is to make the most disturbing

13:39

here is that

13:42

the degree to which at least from the public reporting

13:45

or it attempted it you know it appears to

13:47

be willful on the president's part

13:49

of the in a keeping

13:51

of these documents after the government was requesting

13:53

them back and that is adds another

13:56

layer of concern

13:57

so if it were truly missouri

14:00

ils of this classification

14:02

level and it's been publicly reported

14:04

elsewhere that they're worth of materials related

14:06

to nuclear programs for example

14:09

if there was that sensitive level

14:11

of information being helps why

14:13

to justice of armed officials wait eighteen

14:16

months after the end of the trump presidency

14:18

what change that needs as a media

14:21

i don't know but in the ah yes

14:23

of the trump people represented

14:26

that they provided all the classified or national

14:28

security information and didn't that's

14:30

a serious problem i could tell you anyone an intelligence

14:33

we really that had documents

14:35

like that mark top secret sci

14:38

a in their residence after authorities

14:40

went to them the you know

14:42

they would be under serious investigation

14:45

i mean the president has

14:48

, declassification authority when

14:50

he is in office but typically

14:53

a d classification is memorialized

14:55

in some way up

14:58

can you seek out the answer

15:00

to the question of whether they're actually his

15:02

record at whether donald trump declassified

15:05

that that's his defense hear that the anything

15:07

hear had the had already declassified

15:10

yes so we should determine

15:12

our you know whether there was any effort

15:15

during the presidency to go through the process

15:17

of declassification i've seen no evidence

15:19

of that nor have they presented any evidence of that

15:22

are the idea for a while i for present has

15:24

no declassification authorities rent and the

15:26

idea that eighteen months after the fact

15:28

donald trump trump could simply an hour

15:30

swell am i , retroactively

15:33

declassifying or whatever i took home had the

15:35

effect of declassifying them or

15:37

is absurd absurd nonetheless

15:40

the statutes the just fervent

15:42

are asserting ,

15:44

search one they don't even require

15:46

that they still be classified a if they would be

15:48

damaging to national security it's

15:51

a problem is a major problem and

15:53

we're finally and like to add the the rash of

15:55

of many my republican colleagues it

15:58

and those around the them are

16:00

present to attack the f b i over this

16:03

endanger f b i agents is

16:05

just another the

16:08

damaging level of irresponsibility

16:11

also we learned this past week

16:13

that your colleague our congressmen

16:15

scott perry who leads the freedom caucus

16:19

the justice department sees his cell phone

16:21

as part of their investigation into the attempt

16:23

to overturns the election results

16:25

in twenty twenty and that slate of speak

16:28

electors the committee

16:30

looked in to his actions and the slate

16:32

of fake electors we heard during the public

16:35

testimony about that and some conspiracy

16:37

theories that he had been talking to mark

16:39

meadows the chief of staff about are

16:42

those oh parts of those investigations

16:44

overlap thank you

16:47

well directed at agree that the justice department

16:49

appears to be investigating the say collector

16:51

plot of then yes

16:53

our investigations would very much be overlapping

16:56

what is to me most striking about

16:59

the seizure of that phone or

17:01

is in order to do that of course they would have

17:03

to make a showing a to a judge

17:06

our grand jury about the

17:09

, being probable cause that there

17:11

was evidence of a crime crime

17:14

that phone and the fact that

17:16

it was a member of congress as phone i

17:18

think would make the justice department

17:20

all the more certain more need

17:22

to be certain that they had

17:24

they probable cause anna

17:27

that also suggest that apartment thinks that

17:29

this may collect a plot was a violation

17:31

of law which i see could certainly was so

17:35

i think is very significant all those respects

17:38

and and just that is it's

17:40

own eyes federal investigation

17:42

there are another topic i want

17:44

to ask you we're , up

17:46

on this one year anniversary of the us withdrawal

17:48

from afghanistan and it's taliban

17:51

takeover of that country

17:54

you said at the time of the withdraw

17:56

that that you would have liked the

17:58

military to stay on as is necessary

18:00

to get americans out and fulfill or obligation

18:03

to our allies you had pledged vigorous

18:05

oversight we haven't seen the white

18:07

house or state department acts after action

18:09

report on this the country is

18:11

just an utter devastation under taliban

18:13

rule they really have

18:16

to be this bad

18:18

why should we don't think overthrow had to

18:21

have a go as it did and

18:23

the loss of american lives are in that with wrong

18:26

i am the degree to which it

18:28

took months and months and we continue to try

18:30

to help people are escape

18:32

from afghanistan i think could have been

18:34

handled differently but

18:37

i do think that we we have demonstrated

18:39

the miss russia has demonstrated with

18:41

the killing of the water is a number

18:43

to al qaeda are under been logged

18:46

that it retains the capability much

18:48

as it said it was a year later to

18:50

go after those

18:53

that threaten the country wherever they may

18:55

be in this case the heart of kabul i

18:57

think you know the killings laundry shows both the

19:00

both the i am also our capability

19:02

the danger in that's i think

19:04

clearly high elements

19:07

of the taliban government had to know that

19:09

he was there and we're giving him safe harbor

19:11

events and williams aspirated we

19:13

can and will go after anyone el

19:16

al qaeda is an ongoing threat i think

19:18

though that the threat from al qaeda is

bryan said patrick he's a former f b i

20:39

agent and federal prosecutor and joins us

20:41

from philadelphia congressmen the

20:43

morning to you i wonder as

20:45

a former agent you've seen

20:47

the warrant now as we all have what

20:50

does indicate to you about you about crime was

20:53

committed

20:56

yeah thanks for having me well i

20:58

think it can be summed up the one line margaret

21:00

it was an unprecedented action that needs to

21:02

be supported by unprecedented justification

21:05

par , was an unprecedented action yes

21:07

we know that this has never happened before before

21:10

our country's history to the second question was

21:12

are unprecedented justification that

21:14

remains an open question and we know exactly where

21:17

to look in that as the affidavit probable

21:19

cause to one document that remains

21:21

under seal so ,

21:23

we don't have that information i've encourage

21:25

all my colleagues on the left and the right right

21:28

reserve judgment and not get ahead yourself

21:30

because we don't know what that document contains

21:32

that's gonna answer a lotta questions when

21:35

we had the press conference had the

21:37

with my though intelligence committee

21:39

members i telegraph to the press then i said

21:41

the documents that you'll see unsealed today

21:44

which was yeah i'm sorry the at the warrant

21:46

the rider to the war and the property receipts

21:49

are not going to shed a whole lotta light beyond

21:51

the statutes or being investigated

21:53

you voted for bill and twenty a team

21:55

that made it a felony to possess documents

21:57

or materials containing classified in for

21:59

me

21:59

they said

22:01

president trump signed that same building a law did

22:04

he break

22:07

that's all we gotta find out and a note nobody

22:09

is claiming otherwise be allowed to be any

22:11

that classified and top secret

22:13

and above information in boxes at

22:15

mariah

22:17

right yeah nobody's claiming that it's okay to have

22:19

a certainly i'm not that it's okay to have classified

22:21

information anywhere outside of a skiff i

22:24

, that better than anybody given my former profession

22:26

am i currents committees simon but

22:28

the problem is that the administration

22:30

is disputing a lot of what's being publicly

22:33

reported so the affidavit will answer that

22:35

question isn't it will be able to tell us

22:37

who is providing misinformation is it the

22:40

didn't the prior ministration prior the current

22:42

administration we need we need to get that clarified

22:44

well as you know when news organizations

22:46

are trying to get a hold of that other david but those

22:48

aren't normally released during an active investigation

22:52

is it appropriate to release it

22:54

now in the midst of an investigation

22:57

well that's a i would say this margaret

23:00

at the very least it if they don't wanna just

23:02

on see what for public consumption

23:05

, can certainly bring it into the skiff skiff

23:08

bring it to our our house intelligence committee members

23:10

we after all do of oversight over

23:13

the entire intelligence apparatus so

23:15

that's what's puzzling to us to margaret

23:17

might myself for my turner fabulous

23:20

member congress from ohio who's taking a very measured

23:22

approach as well approach ,

23:24

the dynamics at play here we just want

23:26

to get to the truth that see our objective

23:28

truth so we're not taking any angle

23:31

from any size here

23:32

i and i want to get to some of that

23:34

truth in fact is we know it more

23:37

on the other side of afraid and anything in

23:39

a told you that the threats against law enforcement

23:41

that we're seeing so please stay with us

23:48

mack base in a sense we continue our

23:50

conversation our former f b i agent

23:52

now congressman's brian says patrick

23:55

of pennsylvania congressman a breitbart

23:57

a conservative website published

23:59

the name the f b i agents

24:02

who went tomorrow lago and

24:04

, related to that and there are now

24:07

a spike in online threats against

24:09

them i wanna play

24:11

for you how some republican party leaders

24:14

have described events this week

24:18

the f b i rate of president trump's is a complete

24:20

abuse and overreach of it's

24:22

the already were very strong as supporters

24:24

of law enforcement any concerns everybody

24:26

if you see some agents go rogue

24:28

in if you see and agencies that

24:30

doesn't have the right checks and balances at the top

24:34

that responsible to refer to the law

24:36

enforcement officials as going rogue

24:41

that think margaret and average all my

24:43

colleagues some third to make sure they

24:45

understand the way to their words and understanding

24:48

what we don't know yet that's why that probably

24:50

cause affidavit

24:51

is so important and the unfortunate reality

24:53

margaret a minimised a few short years

24:55

in congress i've seen

24:58

the undermining of all three branches

25:00

of government leads you threats

25:02

of violence and acts of violence starting with the

25:04

or the attack oh my

25:05

fellow baseball team members on on the

25:07

baseball field to threats to supreme court

25:10

justices to threats to law enforcement

25:12

both local on during yeah the unrest in the

25:14

summer of twenty twenty and now to

25:16

federal law forsman all this on acceptable

25:18

were and now there's a bullet and warning law

25:21

enforcement of the level of threat right

25:23

now that why want to ask you overnight

25:25

a series of statements from the forty fifth

25:28

president saying the f b i has i has

25:30

and unrelenting history of being corrupt

25:33

he said the f the eyes a criminal rico

25:35

enterprise his cover sources and methods

25:38

include criminal acts his campaign

25:40

is fund raising off

25:42

of this and has referred

25:45

to an army of agents from

25:47

the f b i breaking into his

25:49

home and said that he

25:51

hopes are not planting evidence

25:54

the putting a target on the back of

25:56

these sci agents

26:00

i checked in with several my colleagues

26:03

in , past few days margaret to make sure

26:05

they're okay okay

26:07

single elected official every single leader

26:09

needs the mind the weight of their of this

26:12

kind of including the or my

26:14

prayers

26:14

the united states who has right on

26:17

called for com

26:20

correct i , everybody needs be calling

26:22

for com everybody across the board and

26:24

everybody needs respect our last for smit whether

26:26

it be local or state or federal

26:29

federal very i'm margaret

26:31

for the safety of our law enforcement officers are

26:33

especially officers now i myself

26:36

have been notified by the bureau that my

26:38

life was put in danger recently

26:41

by some of these same people

26:43

and it's violence is never the answer

26:45

to anything we , in a

26:47

democracy that torn or forty six years

26:49

old margaret that's not law

26:52

that says a few generations and yet where the world's

26:54

oldest democracy and the only way that

26:56

can come unraveled is if we have

26:58

disrespect for institutions that

27:01

leads you americans turning on american

27:03

n n d the whole system becomes

27:06

unraveled and a lot of that starts with the words

27:08

were using reasons why it's all my colleagues

27:10

and we've seen disrespect across the are

27:13

crossed the political spectrum the

27:15

margaret which i mention with local law enforcement

27:17

with the supreme court now federal law for smith

27:20

none of it is okay numbers

27:21

if you take the name donald trump off

27:23

of this warrant are you okay with

27:25

this race

27:29

that should matter no one is above the law or

27:32

, a principle that all of us should agree to

27:35

for all i'm saying here margaret

27:37

is an unprecedented action

27:39

because this will have an impact the or another

27:41

then for example for example a

27:44

lot of us are trying very hard litigates fires

27:46

and section seven or to reauthorize this

27:49

is you know potentially if this were were

27:51

warrant that was excessive a we don't know whether

27:54

it was you're not because margaret there's a continuum

27:56

of ways to gather evidence everything from the past

27:58

the service of a subpoena that with a future

28:00

production date to the dynamic execution

28:03

of a search warrant which we saw here

28:05

there's a lot of things you can do and between including a fourth

28:07

with subpoena where you present that subpoena

28:10

at the door you don't enter the premises but you demand

28:12

instance production then and there we

28:14

don't know what was appropriate what

28:16

was justified

28:17

not and that's why the saturday

28:18

the so poor that will answer all the questions

28:21

summers you all my colleagues don't pre judge

28:23

what we don't know about yet and i'm also

28:25

urging all my colleagues to understand

28:27

the weight of your words and support law enforcement

28:30

no matter what

28:31

thank you very much congressman fitzpatrick

28:34

and on saturday the by an administration released

28:37

and updated assessment on al qaeda

28:39

in afghanistan citing intelligence community

28:41

reports that the terror group is

28:43

no longer assess to be a threat in that

28:45

country tomorrow marks

28:48

one year since the chaotic collapse

28:50

of the afghan government as us troops prepared

28:52

to leave to while the administration's full

28:55

report administration's the much criticised withdrawal

28:57

criticised still a work in progress the top

28:59

republican of the house foreign affairs committee

29:01

michael mccaul report is complete

29:03

he's here with us the morning to congressman

29:06

that's or a ceramic

29:07

this deserves a full

29:09

a conversation and i want to get to it when we do

29:12

the said a business though first on the events of the

29:14

past few , days

29:17

marco rubio is the vice chair us senate

29:19

intelligence issued a layer of letters

29:21

seems outrage not to have been briefed

29:24

and he blasted the ask the ice

29:26

saying that they have done more damage

29:29

to face and the rule of law than the russian

29:31

federation or any other foreign

29:33

adversaries is his anger misplaced

29:37

yeah i think it goes on the hill on the wall street journal

29:39

did a great article dot how your

29:41

after the russian collusion steele dossier

29:44

there's a took place during the trump presidency

29:47

and now out of office to have this raid take

29:49

place but i admire a d o

29:51

j one naya were to public integrity

29:53

here main justice and what

29:56

, worry that margaret it is the lack of

29:58

trust in and faith

30:00

in our institutions that concerns the

30:02

most above ,

30:05

and i think when he saw the dhs bolton

30:07

about in a potential threats now to

30:09

the agents ah this is the

30:11

whole fabric of our democracy democracy

30:14

they have was says many have

30:17

ah in the f b i ne

30:19

to since i had to see that as

30:21

that former federal prosecutor

30:23

understood and there is something like a healthy

30:25

skepticism about law enforcement certainly

30:27

but for the former president to be using the language

30:29

that he is when there is this level of threat

30:32

against f b i agents would

30:34

you call on him to tone it down

30:37

i think it's inflammatory i don't want to

30:39

anyone for sense in

30:41

, balls i have a potential threat

30:44

threat add add some someone who's worked with one

30:46

force of most my career or this is

30:49

extraordinary taste and what's

30:51

more years we call a case of first impression

30:53

that we've never had as a former

30:55

president i'd stayed serve the search warrant

30:58

other was a subpoena the court coven

31:00

force the subpoenas that sort of in alaska

31:04

stage processed and are also agrees

31:06

brian says patrick rights the affidavit

31:09

in support of the warheads will

31:11

give you the probable cause to try to

31:13

understand what is going on

31:15

here and as easy american people deserve this

31:18

and this certainly say to rubio points

31:20

that the gang of eight seven briefs and

31:22

briefs believe is the role that committees on the hill

31:25

should have access to the dartmouth's but more

31:27

most importantly this affidavit

31:30

well as we will see

31:32

it sounds like it may take some time to get some

31:34

of these answers i want to talk to you about

31:37

afghanistan i

31:40

read your report the state department

31:42

says or about seventy four thousand vulnerable

31:44

afghan still waiting

31:47

for these visas exit the country's

31:50

armed with the worked with the united states government

31:52

your report says the state department new

31:54

going back and where one to the trump administration

31:57

said it needed more staff

32:00

that it needed more resources to even

32:02

begin to help get these people out

32:04

and that's before the chaos of the withdraw is

32:06

that one of the prime sort of sins

32:09

hear that you see in terms of failure

32:11

to plan

32:11

there are many down since

32:14

as you well there , a complete lack

32:16

put in a sailor to plant there

32:19

was no plan and it was there is no plant

32:21

executed executed sera

32:24

do not see your point terms your

32:26

him beforehand i think the state department probably

32:28

didn't have the resources needed to carry

32:30

out an evacuation of this size

32:33

and enormity of a thirty six com for

32:35

officers at a skier trying

32:37

to process hundreds of thousands of people

32:40

thought they were overwhelmed but there are

32:42

so many mistakes of the biggest one market

32:44

for me having lived through

32:46

worked in a being worked in classified space

32:48

would seem to the intelligence community

32:51

tell the story about this is can be imminent

32:54

is gonna fall sooner rather than later

32:56

the military said it towards the same thing

32:59

and then we went to stay in a pain

33:01

in the white house very rosy picture

33:03

there's a disconnect between yeah

33:06

it's houses on the ground and with the white house's

33:08

doing that and a support the seven at

33:10

all it's there's no way we're going evacuates

33:13

embassy personnel from helicopters like we

33:15

did in vietnam failed course

33:17

we know that happened well

33:19

it need to criticism other support will be that best

33:21

buys the minority report that it's inherently

33:23

political

33:25

and now and ronald reagan think the majority

33:27

if they win the majority in november

33:30

that this is going to be just a political line

33:32

of attack had he was

33:33

that aren't you know i don't are

33:35

you know how the federal prosecutor longer

33:37

than a number congress of us fiddles

33:39

twenty years now and i

33:41

pride myself as being objective as

33:44

it is a fairly objective from

33:46

for dot the sailors were made your the biggest

33:48

ones was it that the taliban

33:51

city was all collies other special envoys

33:53

and zero mckenzie the set time for me

33:55

and are made an offer you can take

33:57

control over kabul institute

34:00

for purposes of evacuation

34:01

then when the can be said that's not my assignment

34:03

not my set the set with community told

34:05

me they do run up to the white house

34:08

and budget no response in the waiter jen

34:10

psaki says they would have approved that

34:12

think about what that would have changed we

34:15

had ruined the taliban to secure the perimeter

34:17

of h clients that led to

34:19

the chaos it also led to the suicide

34:22

bomber the killed thirteen service

34:24

member men and women and

34:27

you're a over hundreds of people and

34:30

it could have been avoided

34:32

you know at the current us special

34:34

envoy for afghan women and girls was out of government

34:37

when this was going on she's quoted in

34:39

your report as saying she still struggles

34:41

to understand how this supposedly

34:43

pre planned negotiated inevitable withdrawal

34:45

ended the way it did it feel

34:47

so much like living schindler list

34:50

the pretty powerful criticism

34:55

who's the civically needs to be held accountable

34:57

if anyone here and is it simply just

34:59

a matter of this was an intelligence

35:02

failure ah that the

35:04

government would fall as quickly as it

35:06

did that the former president would have fled how

35:09

to respond to that to that was an inability

35:11

to plan for less because it was not predicted

35:13

movie tells us really get right

35:15

so there's no failure on the toes and sides

35:18

nor are the pentagon they

35:20

cause a riot the problem was the

35:22

white house and and

35:24

state department put in their head in the sand not

35:27

wanting to believe what they're saying and

35:29

therefore not adequately planets

35:31

candidates your point the women

35:33

left behind as is the worst of this

35:35

entire store address i got for

35:37

busloads of little girls from music school

35:39

out but the sims sewers

35:41

was you know if you're on the

35:44

was your your words if you're not on the worst

35:46

you're probably going to die or one hundred thousand

35:48

asked him partners what behind

35:50

know we said we will protect you that

35:52

was our promise to them no one left

35:54

behind and we left them behind

35:57

to mercy the taliban and other

35:59

retorts or

35:59

the killed

36:00

well a the state department says that it has

36:03

tried to comply with your committee we await

36:05

their full report of their

36:07

own actions

36:08

thank you for sharing your find they have not a debate

36:10

market they've not they've not comply

36:12

with our investigation

36:14

and thank you for your time today we turned the entails

36:17

type who reports from kabul about how

36:19

life for the people of afghanistan has taken a turn

36:21

for the war

36:22

under the taliban

36:23

one

36:26

year up to the taliban's lightning fast

36:28

takeover of afghanistan and the group's

36:30

grip on power his side are now more

36:32

than ever

36:33

across cobble you could see the told on flag

36:36

flying nearly everywhere making

36:38

it clear us back republic

36:40

of afghanistan is gone and the fall

36:42

of on islamic emirate of afghanistan

36:45

holding strong

36:47

but the nation's economy

36:49

is in ruins following the taliban

36:52

take over the us prose billions

36:54

and assets and foreign donors pull

36:56

funding that meet up nearly three quarters

36:58

of afghanistan's annual budget triggering

37:02

, the un calls the worst humanitarian

37:05

crisis in the world world

37:07

around ninety percent of people don't

37:09

have enough food to food and yet

37:12

the emirate seems more focused on controlling

37:14

the lives of it's citizens especially

41:45

but nobody is giving ground

41:47

here as both sides double

41:49

down with a battle to top

41:52

thank you will be back in a moment that

41:55

the school time and districts nationwide are dealing

41:58

with a serious teacher short

41:59

but it hurt you know exactly

42:02

many to as you their teacher last

42:04

to tear gas and data from state to

42:06

state of also carvallo

42:08

is the superintendent of the second largest

42:10

school district in the country los angeles

42:12

need joins us this morning good morning to

42:14

you the bureau of labor

42:16

statistics says there are three hundred

42:19

thousand fewer public school teachers

42:21

and there were before the pandemic

42:23

these are numbers current insurance

42:26

do you know why so many teachers are leaving

42:28

the classroom

42:30

organ my number one i believe we do a

42:32

number one there are economic conditions

42:35

that have made it difficult for teachers

42:37

to be

42:38

recruited into the classroom insufficient

42:40

data

42:41

medical hardship the pandemic did not

42:44

help as certainly the over

42:46

two years that teachers indoors at

42:48

during virtual learning it's him back to school

42:51

with extreme conditions faced by manning

42:54

certainly had a chilling effect for many and as

42:56

a result of that a disproportionate

42:58

number of teachers across the country decided

43:01

to retire before accruing

43:03

full benefits that's truly unprecedented

43:05

in america's history

43:07

what a a member of your it

43:09

staff told us that out in l a to

43:11

mitigate the shortage you're giving

43:13

an incentive grants but

43:15

also something called alternative

43:17

certification programs were teachers can

43:20

go into the classroom before they fully

43:22

completed their own credentialing and their field

43:24

work you've also hired instructors

43:26

on provision and in turn permits that

43:30

sounds like you're lowering standards

43:32

we really not i mean these are of

43:34

fully credentialed individuals they have a bachelors

43:37

or masters degree they may not yet

43:39

have the state certification

43:41

but they have the course content already

43:44

done they may be missing

43:46

a a specific example look

43:49

a we are for the very first time in over a decade

43:51

fully staffed going into august fifteenth

43:54

the very first day of school you're able

43:56

to hire an excess of fifteen hundred teachers

43:59

a during the summer we part of

44:01

the colleges that you'd vs if we cast a wide

44:03

net for recruitment we offered

44:05

incentives and last but not least

44:07

out we as you correctly sad embrace

44:10

this concept of macri credentialing to

44:12

accelerate the hiring of qualified

44:15

teachers for our students

44:18

it would the average pay according

44:20

to national education association in

44:22

your district for teachers eighty seven

44:24

thousand dollars is the issue

44:26

really pay and given

44:28

at the federal level that so

44:31

much emergency funding has been pumped then

44:34

he , to and a half billion just from that springs

44:36

rescue package why isn't

44:39

the incentive enough to solve this problem on

44:41

a national scale

44:43

well number one gets sent us are

44:45

positive however you need to have a pipeline

44:48

as eligible candidates said to fill these

44:50

positions and what we've seen as

44:52

number one door insufficient candidates

44:55

graduating from college as of education

44:57

national particularly teachers

44:59

were the surface station which students with

45:01

disabilities elementary aged students

45:04

as well so ,

45:06

his important working conditions are important

45:09

health benefits packages

45:11

are important at and

45:13

tally one thing tally one send me the cost of

45:15

living in los angeles is considering

45:17

the cost of housing in los angeles

45:20

45:22

into our community nonetheless

45:24

for the very first time in over a decade every

45:27

single student in every single classroom

45:29

in los angeles unified will have

45:32

a prudential teacher on they weren't

45:37

thousand students you've said are not

45:39

enrolled in school or hearse have

45:41

stopped attending where these kids go

45:45

45:47

asking we know a result with a pandemic

45:51

particularly youngest kids then the

45:53

garden and pre k kids in
