Rumsfeld's Rules: What We Can Learn From Borrowed Wisdom
"Things that I have learned and the discussion we're going to have today is a thing called rumsfeld rules. Donald rumsfeld, if you're watching on rumble or YouTube or you'll see me holding the book, your rumsfeld rules. Non Rafael, amazing career from a congressman to enable aviator to Secretary of Defense. I mean, if you just go back to his career, chief of staff of The White House, just all kinds of amazing accomplishments. Some liking some hating. I mean, he is one of those that there's not a lot of middle ground for. But he over years, he put together what he called rumsfeld's rules. And these were and I love how he starts the book and he takes this and if you've ever heard him speak and he's passed away now, but he would say that borrowed wisdom is a wonderful thing. And I think that is great. This podcast I hope could be considered borrowed wisdom. And because what I try to do is find out things that I've learned, I'll pass them on to you, hopefully you will digest them, apply them in your way and you pass them on to somebody else. That's how borrowed wisdom. It does mean that you have to come up with everything. It doesn't mean that you have to be the creative person in the room. It doesn't mean that you have to be the one that, you know, thanks to the original quote or idea. The question is though, is are you well read? Are you well? Positioned, if you would, to learn. And I love the quote borrowed wisdom, and he starts off, you know, taking in his own father, one of the early quotes in introduction, he takes from his father in which he said he his father was off in World War II and he wrote him saying that he was going to quit boy scouts to spend more time playing sports and his father sent back and one of the mail back then victory mill. He said on the side, once you quit one thing, then you can quit something else, and then pretty soon you'll be a good at being a quitter.

Tracking America's Longest War
"Turn now to look at the roots of what's become america's longest war the. Us invaded afghanistan. October seven two thousand one less than a month after the al qaeda attacks on the world trade center and the pentagon within days of the us bombing of afghanistan. The taliban offered to hand over osama bin laden the al-qaeda leader but the bush administration rejected any negotiations with the taliban. This is bush's press secretary ari fleischer responding to a question and october. Two thousand one would use afford say was the taliban might say at this point may not make any difference in the or flooring whatever they may serve. The president made it any clearer two weeks ago when he said that there will be no discussions and negotiations. So what they say. It's not as important as what they do. And it's time for them to act. It's been time for them to act in december of two thousand one just a month or two later the taleban offered to surrender control of kandahar if its leader mullah. Muhammad omar would be allowed to quote live in dignity in opposition custody u. s. defense secretary. Donald rumsfeld rejected the offer. If you're asking would would an arrangement with omar where he could quote live in dignity in the kandahar area or some place in afghanistan. Be consistent with what i have said. The answer is no would be consistent with what i have said. That's donald rumsfeld speaking december. Sixth two thousand one the us. Warren afghanistan would continue for almost twenty more years through two now.

Could the Disaster in Afghanistan Have Been Averted in 2001?
"Matter whether you were for or against the war in afghanistan. I think most observers agree that the way it's been brought to an end has been a disaster. The taliban is again in control of the country and in addition to political power. They've got their hands on. Us supplied military equipment including guns ammunition and combat aircraft. So we all agree. It's bad right now but did you know that was a good chance we could have maybe avoided all of this. That's because in december two thousand one. The taliban seemed to be on the verge of striking eight deal with the afghan government to surrender. This was at a time when the taliban itself said they were finished as a political force but donald rumsfeld the secretary of defense at the time rejected the idea and when asked about the possibility of such a deal said quote. The answer is no he wanted. An unconditional surrender. How did that work out just to be clear. No one is saying that afghantistan would have become piece floor. Violence-free only that we wouldn't have spent the next nineteen years fighting an unwinnable war more than twenty four hundred. Us service members were killed in afghanistan. So we're an estimated sixty six thousand afghan military and police and more than forty seven thousand afghan civilians over four hundred eight workers and more than seventy journalists all at a us price tag of two trillion dollars that the bush administration failed to end the war. Early on is one of the many gross mistakes that they made including allowing osama bin laden to escape afghanistan according to a senate report from two thousand nine bin laden was quote within our grasp in december two one but the administration let him slip through their hands quoting from the report the decisions that opened the door for his escape to pakistan allowed bin laden emergency potent symbolic figure who continues to attract a steady flow of money and inspired fanatics worldwide. The failure to finish the job represent a lost opportunity. That forever altered the course of the conflict in afghanistan and the future of international terrorism. That report came out twelve years

Who served under four presidents and was a former presidential candidate himself, died on Tuesday at the age of 88. Rummy, as he was known, passed on while surrounded by family and his beloved tells New Mexico President George W. Bush commended Rumsfeld Steady service as a wartime secretary of defense, a duty he carried out with strength, skill and honor. Rumsfeld is the only person to serve as secretary of defense twice when he first served in the mid seventies. He was the youngest SEC def ever under Bush, 43 from 2000 and 1 to 2000 and six he was the oldest sect death. After retiring in 2000 and eight he headed the Rumsfeld Foundation to promote public service and to work with charities that provide services and support for military families and wounded veterans. I'm sure Rummy would have liked to have had one more July 4th to celebrate, but he lived his life full out. And I'm pretty sure he'll be setting off some munitions and explosives to celebrate the occasion on the other side. Thank you and rest in peace Rummy. Many unidentified flying objects observed by the military and other government sources, since 2004 probably actually exist and may pose a threat to national security, says the Pentagon report. Government sources originated 144 reports of unidentified aerial phenomena or you ate peas. The term now used to describe objects popularly referred to as UFO's. Many incidents were witnessed firsthand by military aviators and observed by reliable sensor systems, The report adds You apes largely remain a mystery. Aside from one that was identified as a large, deflating balloon, the government can't explain what they are. The report gives no indication the apes. Origins are extraterrestrial, but whatever they are, and wherever they're from, the intelligence community says they exist and should be taken seriously. The report from the director of National intelligence, says quote you ape clearly pose a safety of flight issue and may pose a challenge to US national security. Safety concerns primarily center on aviators, contending with an increasingly cluttered air domain. You AP would also represent a national security challenge. If they are foreign adversary collection platforms or provide evidence of potential adversary has developed either a breakthrough or disruptive technology. End quote.

"Also in maryland. A law aimed at supporting resident experiencing a mental health crisis. Goes into effect today. The thomas bloom. Raskin act is named after congressman. Jamie raskin son who took his own life earlier this year. Wmu's maryland reporter dominique. Marie of an esi spoke with. Liz aparicio a professor of behavioral and community health with the university of maryland school of public health. It's glenn to expand that states to learn one crisis call center so that trained counselors will periodically check in with people who've pre registered to receive calls rather than waiting for that person who's struggling in the moment themselves to reach out while they're increases and hopefully this will lead to earlier intervention and referral to mental health treatment. And other supports congressman. Jimmy raskin has been very vocal about the issue of suicide What does it mean to have. An elected official talks candidly about it. I have been really proud of representative raskin for using his platform in the way that he has to raise awareness about suicide prevention and really to model how his family is handling the aftermath of his son's death by suicide earlier this year. It is just so important to be able to speak openly about suicide just as we would with any other public health issue so it can be addressed directly without judgment or shame as a preventable health issue. I think another thing that we see with the raskin family experiences. That suicide doesn't discriminate. You know there are multiple reasons why people become suicidal and die by suicide so it really lifts sat veil and shows the range of folks who can be affected and families that can be affected by suicide. Do you think those calls will continue to increase coming out of this pandemic as we try to get back to some semblance of prepaid endemic life. I think that they will. And i think we may actually see an uptick in calls as people are going through this next transition so anytime that there's a major change in our lives. There's an adjustment that has to happen to that. So even if it's something that's exciting. Perhaps like kids going back to school were returning to the workplace or being able to see friends again. Those are still changes that we have to adjust to and so we really need to Give ourselves that time and space for those adjustments and not to give ourselves a hard time. If we're not super happy all the time we want to know that the range of reactions that we may be having is normal though. I won't be surprised if thing's increased for a while they get more intense as we're coming out of the pin oven and then just finally. I wonder you know people hearing this. You know maybe going through struggles of their own. Do you have any advice for those struggling with mental health currently either from the pandemic or as they are getting back to some semblance of normalcy. There's just never been a more important time to recognize that really. It's okay to be okay. It's understandable on. This is the time to reach out and take care of one. Another to support one another's mental health as well as get support for ourselves really going to need to work on building and continuing to strengthen our social support structures so that we are not struggling through these times alone that was w used dominique array of an se interviewing liz aparicio an assistant professor of behavioral and community health with university of maryland school of public health.

And welcome to our listeners and viewers around the country and around the world donald rumsfeld chief architect of the iraq war died wednesday at the age of eighty eight rumsfeld served under four presidents and was secretary of defense under both presidents george w bush and gerald ford. His critics say he presided over systemic torture. Massacres of civilians and illegal wars. As defense secretary rumsfeld was quick to advise president. Bush target iraq after the nine eleven terror attacks even though kedah had been sheltered by the taliban in afghanistan and iraqi leader saddam hussein had nothing to do with the attack this is rumsfeld speaking at a press briefing in two thousand and two about whether rock gave weapons of mass destruction terrorists. The message is that there are known knowns there are things we know that we know there are unknown unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know. We don't know but there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know. We don't know so when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together and and we then say well. That's basically what we see as the situation that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns that was donald rumsfeld in two thousand and two as the war in iraq dragged on he faced intense questioning from troops in two thousand. Four soldier asked rumsfeld why vehicle armor was still in short supply. Three years in this was his response. Only our army you might want or which many critics including human rights groups in a bipartisan. Senate committee have said rumsfeld should have faced criminal charges for decisions. That led to the abuse of detainees at the abu ghraib prison near baghdad and at the guantanamo bay detention camp jameel jaffer director of the night first amendment institute at columbia university and former aco. Deputy director tweeted quote. Rumsfeld gave the orders that resulted in the abuse and torture of hundreds of personnel. Us custody in afghanistan iraq and guantanamo.

Hundred prisoners died in the course of interrogation investigations were haphazard at best but the military itself concluded that some of the prisoners were tortured to death for more.

His most recent book just out is titled after the apocalypse. America's role in a world transformed in may. He wrote a piece for the boston globe headlined. My son was killed in iraq. Fourteen years ago. who's responsible. We welcome you back to democracy now. Professor basic Why don't you start off by talking about the legacy of rumsfeld. The newspapers referring to him as the most influential defense secretary robert mcnamara. Back in the nineteen sixties. I think that's appropriate action. He was like mcnamara In a specific sense. I think that he brought to office. Rumsfeld brought to authors certain convictions. about how the pentagon needed to change And from day one he set out to implement that vision what rumsfeld didn't anticipate Was nine eleven. Its aftermath specifically the iraq war. And you're right. I think to describe him as the principal architect of that war. He attempted to fight it consistent with his reform vision. That is to say the expectation that that superior american technology would bring about a quick and decisive victory. He got that wrong. He got that wrong because of his misunderstanding of war and his inability to appreciate the historical cultural sociological religious elements of war. And therefore what was supposed to be a quick and decisive victory ended up being a protracted ugly disaster and that's why iraq needs to be the most important item inscribed on his his headstone a disaster. Which as you've said He was considered the most powerful defense secretary since mcnamara but once it became clear that the iraq war was waged under false pretenses. In other words there were no weapons of mass destruction unlike mcnamara who issued an apology in the documentary of fog of war a donald rumsfeld on the contrary was the least a apologetic and affirmed The fact that the us should have a gone into iraq and that any premature withdrawal would be a mistake. Well i you know. I can't pretend to know peer into his soul. He is clearly was a stubborn man in a proud man. And i think you know unwilling to confront his own failings which became manifest When we come. Two thousand six the end of two thousand and six. When president george w bush decided to fire him His failure by then had become evident to just about everybody other than rumsfeld perhaps His his his friend vice president. Cheney many many historical figures with the passage of time find their their reputation is revised perhaps improve perhaps You know subjected to greater criticism. I don. I don't expect that there's going to be any revision of donald rumsfeld's a reputation in the future. He was a catastrophic nucle- bad and failed defense secretary who radically misinterpreted the necessary response to nine eleven and therefore caused almost immeasurable damage to our country to iraq to to the persian gulf. More broadly. and. I don't think there's any way to disguise that. I wanted to go to that. I clip that. We played which is You go to war with the army you have if you could comment on that And also the fact that you like. So many in the united states and in iraq lost a loved one in iraq and what that means what role donald rumsfeld played in that but not just rumsfeld if you could talk with this focus on rumsfeld about the responsibility of the man.

And they would have Alabama Republican Party chairman John Wall expressing disappointment.

"Former president. Trump's personal lawyer rudy. Giuliani had his license to practice. Law suspended in new york this summer. Thirty five years ago this summer president. Trump's other personal lawyer roy cohn was disbarred from the practice of law altogether but there was another one in between those two. It has been almost three years now. Since trump personal lawyer. Michael cohen also lost his license to practice law when he pled guilty to multiple felonies in a scheme by which illegal contributions for made to trump's twenty sixteen presidential campaign. Those illegal contributions came in the form of hundreds of thousands of dollars that were paid out to women to stop those women from speaking publicly about them. Allegedly having affairs with the president those payments were designed to hush those women before the campaign the payments were therefore designed to benefit his presidential campaign. They were illegal payments they were in fact federal felonies. Michael cohen remains the only person who went to prison for that scheme even though he didn't benefit from those payments donald trump. Did that said federal prosecutors quite famously said in court documents michael cohen actually testified in open court that he committed those felonies in coordination with an at the direction of individual one was donald trump was of course the person who was also the beneficiary of the actions described in those felony counts and that that raise all sorts of actually still outstanding questions as to why federal prosecutors in the southern district of new york would ascribe that kind of blame to an individual who directed the commission of this felony so actually benefited from the commission of those felonies but then they closed the case without ever bringing charges against that individual. It's one thing to think that individual one president trump was saved from indictment himself there because he was president at the time and the justice department won't indict a sitting president but he's no longer president nevertheless sdn y case was closed in addition to individual one though there was also executive one described by prosecutors executive won a top executive at the trump organization who prosecutors said disguised the reimbursements to in for those hush money payments disguise them as legal expenses on the trump organizations books. Executive one is the trump organization's chief financial officer allen weisselberg prosecutors described his key role in covering up the commission of that felony by falsifying the books of that new york business. The reason why zuckerberg was apparently not the reason why was not charged in that hush money scheme was that he apparently got immunity in exchange for his testimony but again the testimony in that case was only used to lock up michael cohen individual. One an executive one both got away. These questions still about why. sdn y. Closed out that case and why michael cohen is still the only person who ever faced the music for those felonies. Even though federal prosecutors identified other people having played bigger more important roles in those felonies than he did but that was it apparently in terms of any federal case. Something maybe someday we'll figure out what happened in. Sdn why there. But tonight washington post was first to report nbc news and others have now confirmed that a grand jury in manhattan has filed criminal indictments against the trump organization and its cfo. Allen weisselberg and those indictments will be unsealed tomorrow afternoon. These are not federal charges. These are state charges under new york. Law the post is reporting that. Mr weisselberg expected to surrender tomorrow morning at the manhattan district attorney's office and then he's expected to be arraigned later in the day before state judge and a new york courtroom. The trump organization will also be a range It's hard to arraign an entity. At least it's hard to imagine that the way it works in person is that it'll be the entity will be represented in court by one of its attorneys. A person familiar with the matter. Nbc news tonight. That the indictments are expected to be unsealed at around two pm eastern time tomorrow because the indictments are sealed until then. We don't know exactly what the charges will be. There's been lots of reporting that they're the charges are expected to focus on tax related alleged felonies. The trump organization lawyers have been working overtime for days telling the media that the charges are small potatoes and politically motivated. And they can't believe prosecutors would even bother to charge piddling little crimes because everybody does this kind of stuff and of course you would expect defense lawyers to say exactly that the truth is we just will not know what the charges are until they are unsealed tomorrow afternoon. What we do know is that the state prosecutor. That's been working on this along with the new york attorney general's office that's been working on this. It's been years that they've been at work on this case and the question of whether former president donald trump personally himself ever faces charges in this case that remains open an open question. The trump organizations lawyer ron fischetti has said that what he's heard from prosecutors is that donald trump himself will not be charged in tomorrow's indictment. But that doesn't mean that he might not be charged in a subsequent indictment or as they call it in legal terms a superseding indictment now people who watch these things. Tell us that that's not unusual. It's not routine but it's not at all unusual for an initial indictment of a company like this or individuals associated with a company like this in the case of and weisberg. It's not unusual for an initial indictment to be followed by subsequent superseding indictments with additional charges. Either more charges against the original defendants or potentially more charges against additional defendants. My question is why do they do it. That way and as we're looking at the first potential legal accountability for former president trump in this case connected to reportedly alleged tax felonies committed at his business. This prospect of his potential individual criminal liability remains open because of this expectation that there might be further indictments. What is the basis for that expectation for those of us. That aren't lawyers. Should we understand that as a reasonable expectation to have in this case. Is that just wishful thinking by people who are hoping that donald trump will get indicted. Someday how should we understand. This in proper context have answers for you ahead hold that thought. It.

"In is not knowable if force will be is but if it is to be used it could last six days six weeks. I doubt six months. I doubt six months. Who's telling you that. A war in iraq might last six months hussein. I'll go that long. I'm donald rumsfeld. You can take it from me. Try six days. Donald rumsfeld was also a master at unusually specific lies about the most consequential things that led to that war that ultimately cost hundreds of thousands of lives. He told ab abc news for example after the invasion when he asked how come the weapons of mass destruction that you guaranteed were there. How come. they haven't been found he insisted. Abc news that not only were there. Weapons of mass destruction in iraq. That we're going to be found. But he knew where they were. He said quote. We know where they are there in the area around to create and baghdad and east west south and north somewhat donald rumsfeld has died today at the age of eighty eight. He did not die at his home at mount misery which was the slave breaking site of the life changing and world changing torture of frederick douglass place that he bought his a weekend retreat while serving as defense secretary he died instead in new mexico at a ranch. She had their in house. And donald rumsfeld's death comes on a day with about five weeks worth of news in it otherwise. We're covering a lot of different breaking news stories tonight tonight. The washington post was first to report. Nbc news has confirmed that. A grand jury in manhattan has filed criminal indictments today against the company former president donald trump and its longtime chief financial officer ellen weisselberg the post and nbc are both citing people familiar with the indictments again. This means the indictments have been handed down by the grand jury. They are at this point sealed. Nbc reported earlier. Today that the indictments are expected to be unsealed at a court proceeding at roughly two. Pm eastern time tomorrow whereupon will find out exactly what the charges are and whereupon whereupon the defendant or defendants are expected to be in court to face those charges now. There is not an expectation at this point that former president trump himself is going to be hit with criminal charges tomorrow although that apparently remains a possibility for some theoretical potential. Superseding indictment coming after this one. I'm not sure. I totally understand the legal world common wisdom. That's there very well. May be a superseding indictment beyond the one that comes tomorrow. But we're going to chase that a little bit tonight and try to get some perspective on why that seems to be the prevailing wisdom about how this case against. The president's company is likely to unfold. We'll have much more on that ahead tonight. But like i said it is a remarkable newsday today today also brought these shocking news that the conviction of bill cosby was overturned. By pennsylvania's supreme court cosby had served more than two years in prison after he was convicted of three counts of aggravated indecent assault. In two thousand eighteen he will never serve another day of the three to ten year sentence. He had initially been given after the court overturned that conviction today they overturned it on the grounds that a previous pennsylvania prosecutor who happens to be these shambolic bazaar trump impeachment lawyer. Bruce castor bruce castor when he was serving as a prosecutor in pennsylvania had apparently given bill cosby an unwritten unofficial though apparently binding assurance that he wouldn't be prosecuted and on the basis of that the supreme court today overturns his ultimate prosecution and deemed that he cannot be tried on those charges again. A bizarre turn in one of the highest profile prosecutions of the metoo. Eric today and bill cosby is tonight out of prison in his home in suburban philadelphia and that arrives just in this in this world wind of news. I mean amid everything else going on. Don't forget that tomorrow is the last day of the term for the united states supreme court this year and that means two very important things. I there's two really big cases left to be decided one about dark money undisclosed money and politics and another that frankly could put the final nail in the coffin of the already gutted. Voting rights act based on an arizona. Voting case of those decisions are expected from the supreme court tomorrow. Election reform and voting rights advocates bracing. For what's expected to not be great news on either of those fronts but we shall see. The court has been full of surprises this year. So then the substance. Tomorrow's being the last day of the tour matters in terms of what they're going to tell us with these cases but tomorrow also matters because it is the last day of the term and if justice steven brier or any of the other eighty something year-old justices on the court are going to retire from the court pass. Precedent would suggest that tomorrow could be the day which we will get that announcement in the vast majority of modern supreme court retirements. They are announced to either take effect at the end of a supreme court term or they are announced at the close of a supreme court term. So if you are planning on this being the summer in which we get a supreme court vacancy and a senate fight over who to put on the court we will likely tomorrow is the day. We will most likely learn that news. It all happens at once joining us. Now is my friend ron suskind. He's a pulitzer prize. Winning journalist and the author of many tell all and award winning books about us presidential administrations three of his bestselling books the price of loyalty the one percent doctrine and the way of the world all featured donald rumsfeld as a these central. If not starring character. I know nobody else. Who knows more about donald rumsfeld than ron suskind ron. It's really nice to be here tonight. Thank you for joining us your so. I did not give any sort of a holistic look at defense secretary. Rumsfeld's legacy i turn to you for that. I think i'm i'm still quite red.

Paul revere paul bunyan's body to he's pitching at a to fifty eight earned run average and is just crushing home runs. It's unbelievable yes. Slugging percentage of one point zero four nine. Which is like he. He's over one. It's rare that anybody just even simply right if you if you see that. If he's playing just watch him that bad because there's a good chance he's going to crush the fucking ball and then if he's then you can watch impeach real. It's just yeah. There's there's a like a new york times article that said is there such thing as too much shohei otani and i don't think there is because we're talking about. This is the thing that i think we've talked about too. Is i love when we get these like. There's an athlete out there who's just fucking it up so hard core that everyone's like i don't know man. Everyone watched this until this person showed up. And we're something very historic and even like aaron boone on the yankees like What he's doing is he say. Quote borderline impossible. Yeah that's what makes this so fucking special. And i think he's just i feel like if you if you just watch baseball very passively. You're like yeah good pitchers you know there they can. They can do that. And if you're good at bat you can do that. But the combination is just makes this shit so freaky. Yeah hasn't been done in one hundred years. I'm just gonna read this list of his last two weeks. So june fifteenth homerun june sixteenth. Home run june seventeenth. Five strike through five strikeouts. Six innings pitched one earned run june eighteenth. Two home runs. June nineteenth homerun twentieth homerun twenty-first. They were off okay twenty-second. He had a bad day. Zero went over three twenty third one earned run nine strikeouts twenty-fourth off again like he should still hit a home run. Even though they were off twenty fifth homerun twenty six went one. For three twenty seven homerun twenty eighth homerun twenty-ninth two home runs. Yeah like what did he has ever been in his own like this. That as long as i've been passively paying attention to baseball so it's pretty dope. People aren't like pitching strikes to them. They're just like afraid of him and he's still doing his finding he's finding so he's got twenty eight. What's the pace to to fuck it up home in for a single season. I don't know. I don't i actually don't know what what his paces. Yeah i wish. I not his paces a lot. I don't think. I think if he was on pace for like over sixty people write ups but like just being on pace to lead the league in home runs well also. Pitching extremely effectively is unbelievable. He's right now. People say the odds on favorite to be the mvp and this kind of came out of nowhere like he wasn't supposed to even be the best player on his team this season. Yeah i mean yeah when you're doing things mike. Trout can't do. Then that. That's something. But i mean i think the hope was always that this was possible like when he came to to the. Us was that he's a two way player and in japan he was proving it but everyone again is always like well. Let's see what he can do in the majors and you know what japanese people not to play baseball.

Had we finished up an explainer on how the markets can price things in if if it knows those things are coming then something came that. The market's somehow were not expecting there was the missile attack last night they not really too who belligerent statement from President Trump is morning and somehow everything was fine. We've called the. Amy Myers Jaffe for some context on this. She is a longtime Middle East analyst. Also now a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations Amy Walkman program. Thank you for having me. Let's do a quick gut check. You heard this news last night. I'm sure you as as I and many other people check the futures market. What was your? What was your initial reaction? Well I think that it makes sense that the markets calmed down afterwards. Of course wars were were hoping for a peaceful outcome for conflict resolution. But I think the markets may be a little optimistic in the sense that there's a long road a Ho. Oh here on a very long stubborn conflict in the Middle East so maybe people are a little too optimistic. This is if I could if I could go to my Donald Donald Rumsfeld dictionary. This is the very definition of unknown unknowns right yes. The president was moderately diplomatic today. But there's so much yet to come There's a lot of water that needs to be crossed and I think the markets reflect that in the price of gold now of course. Gold is also strong because these were expecting a U. S. China trade deal and we're expecting a weaker dollar but in the end. I do think that that hefty gold price reflects the sentiment that we're not out of the woods yet talk to me about oil for a second. Would you kind of make sense that. It's down hard today. long-term though I know that all the analysts are saying long-term down for oil but my feeling is there still a lot of geopolitical risk to be had we still have tremendous unrest on the ground if the Iraqi population is unhappy with the way things go you know you could see oil. Workers decide that they're going to join the anti-government protesters protesters or if there's a breakdown in negotiations between the United States are ran in Iraq and the United States quote unquote. Okay gets kicked out. You could see sanctions on Iraq soil because Iraq has been doing these swaps with Iran these energy swaps with Iran. And that would be a logical next step if things break down or you condo by the fact that the United States is such a major producer of oil now that helps me from the point of view of worrying thing about the US economy if the price of oil goes way up there many states that benefit now because we have so many states that are producing the didn't used to the oil producing and of course our trade deficit isn't as badly hurt. The problem is you know you and I we might not take a road trip this summer. Summer oil prices are very high and also we know from past oil shocks that American. Stop buying cars when the price of gasoline is going up and of course that would be very bad for the economy because that's a big part of the GDP of the United States. Okay so short-to-medium-term. What are you watching? Well I'm watching sort of how it plays out of course in the Middle East. I think that's a very major risk. I want to see that the U. S. China trade deal comes forward and what form and then I think the markets you know The Eurasia group which is a geopolitical risk organization says the United States is the number one geopolitical risk in the world. Today so I do think the US election depending on which way it swings it could be a major feature in financial markets. So I think we have to watch that very closely.

Market Update
"That was an interesting eighteen or so hours in the global markets wasn't it no sooner had we finished up an explainer on how the markets can price things in it if it knows those things are calm and then something came at the markets somehow we're not expecting there was a missile attack last night they may not really too belligerent statement from president from this morning and somehow everything was fine we've called Amy Myers Jaffe for some context on this she is a long time Middle East analyst also now a senior fellow at the council on foreign relations Amy walking program thank you for having me let's do a quick got check your this news last night I'm sure you as I and many other people check the futures market what was your what was your initial reaction well I think that it makes sense that the markets calm down afterwards of course were were hoping for a peaceful I'll come up for conflict resolution but I think the markets may be a little optimistic in the sense that there's a long row to hoe here on a very long and stubborn conflict in the Middle East so maybe people are a little too optimistic this is if I could if I could go to my Donald Rumsfeld dictionary this is the very definition of unknown unknowns right yes the president was moderately diplomatic today but there's so much yet to come there's a lot of water that needs to be crossed and I think the markets reflect that in the price of gold now course gold is also strong because we're expecting a US China trade deal and we're expecting a weaker dollar but in the end I do think that that hefty gold price art reflects the sentiment that we're not out of the woods yet talk to me about oil for a second would you kind of make sense it is down hard today long term now I know that all the analysts are saying long term down for oil but my feeling is there still a lot of geo political risks to be had we still have tremendous on rest on the ground if the Iraqi population is unhappy with the way things go you know you could see or workers decide that they're going to join the anti government protesters armed or if there's a breakdown in negotiations between the United States around in Iraq and the United States quote unquote gets kicked out you could see sanctions on Iraq's oil because Iraq has been doing these swaps with Iran these energy swaps with Iran and that would be in a logical next step of things break down are you called at all by the fact that the United States is such a major producer of oil now that helps me from the point of view of worrying about the US economy if the price of oil goes way up there many states the benefit now because we have so many states that are oil producing the didn't used to be oil producing and of course our trade deficit isn't as badly hurt the problem is you know you want a high we might not take a road trip this summer for oil prices are very high and also we know from past oil shocks that American stop buying cars when the price of gasoline is going up in the course that would be very bad for the economy because that's a big part of the GDP of the United States okay so short to medium term what are you watching well I'm more watching sort of how it plays out of course in the Middle East I think that's a very major risk I want to see on that that US China trade deal comes forward and and what form and then I think the markets you know the Eurasia group which is eight geopolitical risk organization says the United States is the number one geo political risk in the world today so I do think the U. S. selection depending on which way it swings could be a major feature in financial markets also I think we have to watch that very closely your age group for co founder Ian Bremmer question your marketplace morning report all the time Amy Meyers Jeffery she's at the council of foreign relations in New York Amy thanks a lot appreciate your time your thoughts thank you

Joseph Maguire, Acting DNI, Faced Congress after whistleblower report
"Yuvan of it to Benjamin Sunland if you the people who become household names of the impeachment drama has played out with the house vote now behind us we wanted to catch up with another central character from the very beginning a man who occupies at least for the moment one of the most critical perches in the US government our story begins late on Friday the thirteenth of September which is when Adam Schiff chairman of the house intelligence committee released a cryptic letter we're gonna let our co host Mary Louise Kelley pick it up from here the letter runs four pages on official stationery the big CEO of the intelligence committee on top it is signed sincerely Adam B. Schiff it is addressed to this guy now here I am sitting before you as the acting director of national intelligence Joseph Maguire that's him testifying before Congress end of September he had received chefs letter which contained very few details but which marked the first public mention of the whistle blower complaint the letter accused McGuire of improperly withholding that complaint from Congress and subpoenaed him to testify now we heard McGuire say there he's the acting director of national intelligence and talk about timing threat to acquire what was your first day on the job my first day on the job was Friday the sixteenth of August and I think I set a new record in the administration for the anticipated before yeah yeah yeah that you had a heck of a first week didn't have much going for the Sir the questions there from New York Democrat Sean Patrick Maloney driving home the point that McGwire took over the job of running U. S. intelligence just four days after the whistle blower a US intelligence official filed the complaint McGuire suggested this was not the way he did version the job going either way Sir if I may my life would have been a heck of a lot simpler without becoming the most famous man in the United don't have settled debatable whether Joseph acquire was then or now the most famous man in the United States but if it felt that way it speaks to the extraordinarily awkward position the acting di and I found himself in caught between a White House looking for loyalty and lawmakers looking for answers since his appearance before the house intelligence committee McGuire has kept an exceedingly low profile no interviews we asked for one we're gonna spend these next minutes looking closely at the DNR job whether it matters that we are now past four months and counting with an acting director at the home the longest period without a Senate confirmed permanent leader of US intelligence since the job was created fifteen years ago today I'm asking Congress to create the position of the national intelligence director George W. bush in the White House rose garden two thousand four over in Congress they were listening we were breaking for the August recess and not I decided to call our committee back into session and we began the hearings Republicans Susan Collins of Maine she chaired the Senate governmental affairs committee I felt a sense of urgency because this was already two thousand for the terrorists attacks had happened on nine eleven two thousand one and the nine eleven commission had just released its final report it zoomed in on a failure to connect the dots that the CIA the FBI and others weren't sharing what they knew the report had ideas for how to prevent anything like nine eleven from ever happening again the central crowning recommendation a new position someone who could force intelligence agencies to talk to each other so Collins and Joe Lieberman then the committee's top Democrat got to work I remember you couldn't figure out what you were going to call this position to start with it was the need for a little while I was going to say and for awhile it was the Ned and I remember Joe Lieberman saying we can't call it the no that sounds too much like the net yeah it has to be the D. N. I. doesn't sound in power exactly what to call it was the least of their problems senator Collins told me the turf battles were in once it was vehemently opposed by not only the CIA but particularly the secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld because his department was going to lose considerable power over the intelligence community's budget which was funneled through the department of defense but as you heard his boss President Bush was on board and in December two thousand four Congress passed the most sweeping intelligence overhaul in nearly sixty years by the following February bush was announcing his pick for the nation's first director of national intelligence vesting these are stories in a single official who reports directly to me will make our intelligence efforts better coordinated more efficient and more effective the director of the CIA will report to John John was John Negroponte at the time he was US ambassador to Iraq I tracked him down here in Washington this week and asked about that last bit of the president's remarks that the head of the CIA would report to him that's correct there were gathering no it did but you know it it it took some socializing and some explain simply socialite water like a devoted some water had to go under the bridge in the fifteen years that that water's been flowing under the bridge the office of the D. N. I. has expanded to a staff of thousands the exact numbers classified as we can quarters building is gone up in northern Virginia so has all this worked has having India nine made us safer again the sponsor of the original legislation senator Collins I do believe that it has been successful but it's not perfect I I do hear a criticism bet they demand nice office has grown too big too bureaucratic so I'm not saying that we got it perfect leave right but compared to where we were we have come and the norm this way I heard a similar view from Mike moral who was among those who required some socializing two years Negroponte's word moral serve more than thirty years at the CIA he was president bush's briefer on nine eleven and ended up the agency's deputy director moral opposed creating video and I thought the more obvious solution was to bulk up the authorities of the head of the CIA botch I evolved over time significantly so by the time I left government in two thousand thirteen the last week that I was deputy director I actually got in my car and drove to Capitol Hill and met with senator Collins and senator Lieberman it actually thank them so I was I started out in one place and I ended up in a completely different place pressed as to why morale who now hosts the intelligence matters podcast pointed to his former gang delivering the president's daily brief in the old days he says it was pretty much only CIA material that made the cut whereas now with a D. and I overseeing everything the president's likely to hear from shore the CIA but also the state department's intelligence branch or the Pentagon's defense intelligence agency the deer so when CIA wrote a piece say on a China issue and de I a had a different view it would actually say at the bottom of the page de I a has a different view here it is here's why they have a different view and here Mister president is why this matters to you this difference matters to you so and and I think that makes for better intelligence support for the president John Negroponte the original GNI has mixed feelings about the job he once held here we are fifteen years later mmhm as an experiment has it worked I would say it hasn't failed I'm not sure it's worked fully I think it's still a work in progress on the positive side ambassador Negroponte points to changes he helped put in motion such as integrating the F. B. I. more closely into the broader intelligence community then he pauses and adds mistakes still get made obviously we see that from the inspector general's report just now with respect Carter page and all that I was an egregious seems to have been an egregious mistake of some kind which shows that those problems of coordination don't just go away because you say they should the reference there to the DOJ inspector general who just last week delivered a report documenting all kinds of errors in the F. B. I.'s application to surveil one time trump campaign aide Carter page now can we draw a direct line between the D. and I roll and the F. B. I. **** ups know what is fact is last week so president trump tweeting the FBI is quote badly broken which brings us back up to this moment the president attacking what he has come to call the deep state the house voting to impeach the president following an inquiry originally put in motion by a US intelligence community whistle blower the usual array of national security threats on the radar from Iran to China to North Korea and no sign of a nomination for the top job in US intelligence it is definitely a problem that I had the president has not nominated a permanent Senate confirmed Deanna Republican senator Susan Collins if the people in the intelligence community do not know whether the acting D. N. night is going to be there next week they are going to be less responsive to his concerns to his directives and bad is a problem so I would urge the president to make a choice my put her argument to someone with firsthand experience Michael moral can I was acting director of CIA twice so I know what I'm talking about here you don't feel as empowered as you would if you are Senate confirmed because you know you're not gonna be there that long just how awkward position then does Joseph McGuire find himself in four months and four days after being named acting director of national intelligence world points out that requires a navy Vice Admiral thirty six years in uniform this is a guy has actually been shot at right in combat this is a guy who's who's injured a lot but I think what he's learning is that the political fire is often more challenging than actual weapons fire navigating impeachment era Donald Trump dominated Washington in other words it's a different game morale as I hope he's learning
