"Records they were the ones that alerted the Department of Justice and they returned them immediately and that's the major difference. I'm also thinking supporters of the president and his lawyers may also come up with this argument that yes the law applies to everyone in America but a former president is not just anyone. How about that line of argument to be made among the defense team? You know to me it's not really clear why that would matter you know our system of justice is supposed to treat people equally regardless of their stature or the job they hold so of course presidents come across more classified information they have a lot of power in determining how they handle that but regardless there are clear statutes dictating how classified records are meant to maintained be and stored and there's also very clear processes for handling those records and keeping them in secure locations which were evidently not followed here.

House debt ceiling vote nears to avert default with Biden and McCarthy both confident of passage
"President Biden and House speaker Kevin McCarthy are both confident that debt ceiling and budget cuts package they negotiated will pass while working to shore up support. McCarthy's facing strong conservative pushback but insists he has enough votes to pass the bill. Everybody has a right to their own opinion, but on history, I'd want to be here with this bill today.

No, we're not looking at revenues. McCarthy says it's not a revenue problem. It's a spending problem. The time of spending just spending more money in America and government is wrong. The speaker said negotiators would work through the night and he and the president would talk daily with 9 days left until the Treasury Department says it's highly likely the government will run out of cash to pay the nation's bills.

Monocle 24: The Foreign Desk
"hill" Discussed on Monocle 24: The Foreign Desk
"Most of us spent the four years of Donald Trump's presidency, feeling like we were confined in a dishearteningly small space with a disconcertingly strange character. For some of that period this week's special guest on the foreign desk actually was. From 2017 to 2019 Fiona hill was senior director for Europe and Russia at the National Security Council, and therefore, at least in theory, a key adviser on Russia to the U.S. president. As hill details in her tremendous new memoir, there is nothing for you here, it didn't quite work out like that. Hill was among the exclusive coterie of Trump advisers hired for their actual expertise rather than their relationship to the president. She had served on the national intelligence council analyzing Russia and Eurasia. This made hill inevitably if depressingly, exactly the kind of adviser whose advice Trump was least interested in hearing. And makes her book a valuable insider report of the circus in Donald Trump's White House. There is nothing for you here is also a chronicle of hill's own remarkable life story. Hill was born and raised in a small town in northern England, the daughter of a coal miner and a midwife, aside from the location exactly the kind of people to whom Trump made his bogus pitch as a man of the people populist. There is nothing for you here, has further resonance as a warning of where such demagogues can lead a country and of the dangers of ignoring the anxieties on which they pray. What was it like watching Donald Trump attempting to govern? How do you get from childhood in a mining village in county Durham to testifying at the impeachment hearing of a U.S. president? And how does it feel to become the focus of the paranoid rage of Donald Trump's legions? This.

"There aren't so the the other the other set of misinformation in this movie i think is really important for people to understand about. Vx so the gas It's a really really horrifying thing. It i mean some similar to white phosphorus although it works quite differently The vx molecule interferes with the way that glands and muscles function by blocking enzyme. that allows them to relax. That causes muscles to clinch uncontrollably and eventually prevents victim from being able to breathe. The lethal dose is About ten milligrams if it says exposed to your skin versus twenty five to thirty milligrams If inhaled Early symptoms pin pupils a runny nose wheezing and of course muscle twitching Death can occur anywhere from within a few minutes to hours putting on the dose in the method contact. Now they talk a little bit in the movie about something called atropine. Atropine is a is a real medicine in. It is a medicine that doctors and military medics used to deal with this kind of poison stuff That the when the body is working nor- normally there's a neurotransmitter called Acetylcholine that moves between nurse to carry signals Wants us his job. There's an enzyme that shows up to break down the nerve agents like the x. destroy that inside it. Blocks up continues to make the nerves connecting connecting connect over again. Atropine blocks the receptor for acetylcholine. So if there's a huge buildup between the nerve connections can't happen But it will can if given the right amount of time before or me. After exposure people can survive. It's not it's not unlivable really depends on how long it's been since they've been exposed up until they were exposed to right right The injectors that they use notice at the end of the movie with nicholas cage showing the giant needle shooting outta that thing. That's not how those are supposed to work. The the injector actually gets put up where it's supposed to get injected usually like on the by And then the needle springs out of it. It's supposed to be right up next to it. So the fact that he did that in show everybody watching what the needle is means that. It wouldn't work for him.

"Like i say that they felt the coastal wasn't one and he should've been that's why the bathroom wants to continue. I would agree So next the We have a couple of of weapons tactics from the vietnam war itself There's there's some discussion in this movie about napalm. There's the secondary initiative as they refer to it trying to jerry rig. Something called third might plasma into some bombs that they can blanket the island The however the The original script has Instead of the might plasma that they invented they actually have white phosphorus which white phosphorus as a as a weapon sometimes referred to just wp or willy. Peter in the military is a horrifying and terribly us weapon especially in the vietnam war but also another other words as well Next we have just our collective of special ops teams and three letter agencies I and certainly foremost for the story is marine force. Recon which has a very big history and in vietnam you have the seals which they weren't created. i don't think when vietnam began but the The the frogmen teams that they had there. Were eventually what became the navy seals. And then you have the fbi. Which i just realized this morning is that after this seals actually make it to the island. The fbi's role is basically done other than communicating back and forth with people. They really i mean they're they certainly have A lot in the background going on but in terms of what the what. The overall status of the story is moving forward. So yeah talk. Yeah yeah but. I wanted to throw those out there because it throughout the film. All of these different topics in groups definitely get Get characters treatments in their own way and they definitely contribute to the the overall story. Sorry i'm having a really muggy brain day. But i'm i'm just gonna keep reading. It's fine so let's talk about frank. Hummel brigadier brigadier general francis. X hummel is what he says to the fbi director telling him that he has taken these guys from Taking hostages on alcatraz so as i mentioned reinforce recon had a huge aspect a huge role in the vietnam war specifically as small for five six men teams. That were doing stuff. behind enemy lines gathering intelligence All that kind of stuff. The line they referred to for hummel in the movie was that he was the greatest battalion commander in the vietnam war. I shit you not So the original script helps helps streamline this out out a little bit talks about that at one point during.

If i may because so many of us know anita hill this incredible attorney this change worker this activist and i wonder i wonder who you were when you were a little girl. You know what what your life was like. When you're say. I don't know eight or ten years old. What were you always the sort of outspoken defender or you in a completely different kind of head. Space is a as a young child. Oh as a child. I really was pretty bookish out and i was a really want to be a scientist when i was growing up and thinking about what i wanted to do. run through all the different things that that young girls and at that time thought about oh a secretary or i could be a social worker and then i discovered science and math and i loved them both in the quick story about my decision to not go into science but to go into law came about my freshman year in college when i told my first visor that i wanted to be to major biology and my adviser said well you know scientists pretty hard as and i think you really should try something a little bit easier and not knowing that i could actually reject him entirely i did You know i sort of deferred because at Mariah i thought advisers knew what they were doing and when i think back on it i think first of all i did do something in wasn't easier going to law school and and i certainly had tried to have an impact on situations like mine but i would. I would hope that today some advisor would say you know science hard but you've got good scores. Got good grades. Let's make sure we know exactly what you need to be successful..

"Differentiate between what historical elements to include and what fictional ones. I'm curious. I know that i mean that. The line between the two. Yeah yeah like your your story that we're talking about today definitely Helps people much further understand the history that you're you're trying to to Break apart in elaborate on. But yes how do you. How do you determine that line against that. I start with just the basic facts of the situation and once. I have the basic facts than i start to. It's sort of like it's sort of like cutting dime. You want to cut it so that the light catches it in the best way you have the facts of the story So how can i. How can i bring them out. How can i bring them to light in the best way so with this story for example i wrote it one way as just. The one man returns to the united states. He'd he manages to return because he knows that he's going to have trouble proving so he organizes it so that he goes to his high school reunion like the fortieth reunion of of his high school. And of course he walks in it. Everybody recognizes him. Hey joe haven't seen you. I thought you were captured or something like that. And then everybody recognizes and then he has a a group of people who will vouch that. This is the guy i wrote it. That way didn't work. I wrote it another way kind of with a group of and that was okay. That was better but the point of view is wrong. So i went. I pulled it from the point of view of a person who discovers the prisoners. Okay so finally they they Format that i- i settled on was a little bit like just a conrad's heart of darkness. Where you have you have a narrator talking to a bunch of other people and telling his story and that's That's finally how how i got this. I thought worked best. Because then you have the point of view of the guy with discovers it and you have the point of view of The people that he's telling it to end the people around so you see the effect on the narrator as well as the narrator telling the story and it's a it's a it's a fascinating way to To write a story out. Do i have to add that. The second story in the book but the short story is is about the bin laden raid on about abides pakistan. And how. I think that that was all sort of fictional as well and so i started with. I started with the fact widely reported that c. I a. one to obama a day or two before the raid and said mr president. We don't know if he's there all right. They had had the house under surveillance at that time for about six months and i thought that's. That's that's incredible. That's that's can't be the. Cia cannot find one man in one house in six months. I mean this isn't a gumshoe. Get this is. This is the cia. I mean all you need is one recording of him saying hey can somebody please pass the salt and you got the voice recording. You got the boys drink and you say yes. That's our man and they didn't have that in six months. And so i started with that fact and i've created a conversation in which it's sort of a satire It's funny story in which the cia guide explained to a group of Intelligence chiefs that. He's not there and the intelligence chief said no no no. He has to be there already to go in. This guy says he's not there and so one guy. Finally at the end of the table who was an old intelligence hand says well you don't have to say he's not there just say you have. No proof is not there and slowly among all the people sitting at the table. They sort of evil. The story which is eventually is the story that was told to the public. And one of the points that i make in is that Bin laden was was left handed well in the video that was released after the rain. There's a there's a video of bin laden watching television and obama is on the verge and the picture of this in the book actually unabomber or inside. Bin laden is sitting there on the floor watching this video and he's he has the remote control in his hand and it's his right hand knocked his left hand okay. Anyways i put in the book that the the this old hand from the intel says you know the nine eleven people caught me out on that on the on the video that we released soon after the raid the the invasion afghanistan and our false bin laden was holding a pencil in his right hand and so just to stick one to those conspiracy. Theories tell her model for this upcoming video in in pakistan. Tell him to hold the the remote controlling his right hand just to tell them that we don't care what they say so anyways it's kind of a funny story. I i enjoyed writing it. You reminded me of The thing that donald rumsfeld used to say when he was still secretary. Defense that Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. You know in the end those those little stupid saying that he used to work the press in essentially give them a non answer essentially league in that. I was not a big deal that that didn't turn up because these other seven things that we're still looking at And just a play mind tricks on people just so they can't possibly understand it but it getting that's what politicians do in terms of trying to take -ality and phrase it for their or their own liking. Yeah that's for sure so there In addition to the one you just mentioned about the bin laden there are five other short stories that you include with the book. I was wondering if you could give us a little.

"Ramadi. It took him a little while to take ramadi And they consolidate an area in eastern syria and western iraq. That's basically the size of great britain and they the border that had been there since world war one between iraq and syria which is just big sand. Berms had been kind of put up as the border and they took bulldozers erased all that and declare the caliphate. You literally had a guy who has might as well been bin. Laden's little brothers. Something is clone up there standing on the balcony like mussalini at the grand mosque in mosul declaring that his new name is the caliph ibrahim ruler of the divine islamic state. And so now this was. This is in two thousand fourteen now summer twenty fourteen. This was the most ridiculous war propaganda of the w bush years and co sama bin laden's wildest fantasy come true. There's no way this could ever be. You know glenn beck used to say. Oh islamo-fascism caliphate islamo-fascism caliphate. We're you gonna put it. There's nation states everywhere. The entire muslim world from nigeria the philippines and skip a few in there but You know There are Government's already wh. Where's the caliphate. Who's the cal. There's a caliphate. It's the saudi kingdom right and all their money and control throughout suny. Muslim were their alliance system. Under american authority. There there is no caliphate. But bush gave him western iraq and then even when the iraqi sunnis took it back from obama gave it back to them gave him eastern syria and gave them western iraq then had launched a rack worth three in the summer. Twenty fourteen which lasted through the end of twenty seventeen into trump's first-year through trump's first year in power there to destroy these state in western iraq and including in eastern syria and rousting them out of raka and so there they were again. Allied with iran's best friends in iraq. The people they wished they hadn't fought iraq where to for the people who they supported these terrorists in order to spite. And now here they are. They're spite had blown up. So badly in the form of the caliphate. Now here they are fighting on the side of the iranians and the sites in iraq again and empowering them even more than before in order to destroy isis and then so now we have troops still in eastern syria and western iraq. Nominally there to fight. What's left of isis. And from time to time in especially in iraq they do go on mission special operations forces to go on missions against. What's left of isis again. Al qaeda in iraq in western iraq. But also if you listen.

"And all this stuff In order to boost what they call the moderate rebels the free syrian army which was in truth. Always the al-nusra front in other words. Which is the association of helpers or assistance or something but point being al qaeda in iraq in syria. That's who they were. And so this support went on you know for two years. One continued on past that but two years into the support. The iraqi dominated faction of al qaeda and iraq decided they wanted to split from the syrian dominated faction of al qaeda in iraq and in a fight over oil and control but also because the americans killed bin laden. Hurry didn't command as much respect at least from the iraqi dominated faction there and their leader abu baqer al-baghdadi disagreed with the al-qaeda Doctrine of continuing to fight the americans and bogged down the americans until they go home. So they can we. Can you know wage our local revolutions and try to create our caliphate. Then he said i. I don't wanna wait. I want to create my caliphate now. After all the americans are fighting on his side at this point why the hell not right so he seizes consolidates estate in eastern syria and In the city of rock as its capital and then six months later in january of two thousand fourteen. That's in june twenty thirteen then in january. Twenty fourteen thousand whites the black flag over palooza and they take it back down. But that's a huge signal that you know suny. Western iraq is wide open. Predominately sunni western iraq is wide open the new shiite government that america put it power bag as extremely chauvinist and rather than trying to rule over them with an iron fist. It's basically just cut them loose and so there's really no one in charge there and so in two thousand fourteen isis. Just rolls right into western iraq and they take over mosul to crete and Palooza and baiji which is important oil town. Uh our.

"Started a study with graduate students. They ended up moving the thing to the pentagon i guess they count every single individuals suicide bomber on earth since nineteen eighty and what they found was the commonality between them. All was not religious belief even among muslims the varying degrees of commitment for the various sects of islam and all that always varied and In fact it's the amateur. Muslims who really don't know too much about islam at all but who are really immersed in earthly politics are the ones who join up to fight now for bin laden them. They were highly educated types but for most of their followers. No look the extremist The most extremist sects on the sunni side the hobbies in the sala fees were kind of fundamentalist back to the olden days types. What percentage of them ever join the fight in their millions of hobbies and sala fees and yet the height of the islamic state. There were what one hundred thousand men in. That's including all fighters and all members of the islamic state including just regular iraqi sunnis. Who was the only way for them to stay paid and survived through. You know that side of the war so You know And pay he counted them all up a mean on an individual basis. The common overriding factor is the presence of foreign combat troops on home territory. And then those are the people who fight. I wanted to ask about Kind of the the your view of these groups today and kind of where they stand. I was fascinated to learn from your book that the clinton administration had i think he said thirteen opportunities to deal with bin laden prior to september prior to the end of the clinton administration and and didn't and the looming tower series that Was a few years ago on on hulu. It kind of gave the the really stark impression that it was mostly. If not entirely on the incoming bush administration that federal agencies has missed signs of al qaeda plots specifically about september eleventh. But your book points out that american acceptance of islamic fighter proxies in fighting for. Us interests began a long long time ago. I'm interested what are your impressions of how these groups have grown and changed since september eleventh Especially looking at it from a country as america's though you know we are. It's not as much as it used to be but still very much us versus the terrorists. You know if that's the way people are coining it looking at the long arc of things. What would you say to someone who wants to understand. Us foreign policy. How sees me how.

"Our generation of veteran and what's come before our so called advances in mental health. But i don't know if we can call them advances if we're doing worse sure sure it's definitely shouldn't be isolated out of you know wondering what's going on site like what are psychologists doing was you can you can like numb yourself out. One can use alcohol and and not feel ever an and so but that's one that's one aspect of with bills that there's a point of numbness where where you know. The the med is not. It's not letting you still respond to your environment. It just makes it so you don't care you don't give a crap and and a lot of people in in that needs to be that does need to be dollars definitely It's a piece of the puzzle. Okay i am. They do mention here. I'm going to skip over most of it. But they do mention about that because our war dealt specifically with isd and with a huge uptick in traumatic brain injuries. Compared to the vietnam era that makes it definitely. Individualize is the conflict in that way in a much more cleaner thing. I don't think it's really salable to compare the effects of like the shockwave effects of artillery on an older battlefields. It even even using our own explosives. He said a claim are off. There's that shockwave. You need to be underneath that. Psychologically it was really. I don't know if i ever left. I e ds behind anytime i get in my vehicle to be driving around with that kind of danger where you you're helpless. It seems to me. I i was. I felt helpless against i e d but yeah node in the rattling heads happens whoa. That's that's actually something they mentioned in here too. I don't recall the section. But i can paraphrase a little bit that because because we dealt with so many. Id's there was an ever ever present notion of doom. You know The that you didn't you know there was. There was never a time when you didn't feel vulnerable because that's battlefields and was war to say to you though world war one way or just being near the front line say getting shell to.

What will you tell me to go out with your wife or what became your wife as it's gotta be a different bonj than it's much as any of my dudes well. I mean one thing that they end up doing is that they. You know the you can't be in the same team or anything like that and so when when when that happens usually and especially if you get married you'll have one of you. Usually the female will get shipped to another another spot. miami Lucky that when When she she was able to get out because she was pregnant with our son and so she ended up having to go to iraq once Which i was. I was really happy about But crap sorry lost machine But no it was. It was generally seemed as bullshit. You know you have a relationship with somebody else is like it's bullshit. It's not worth people's time. I don't know why you want to date other soldiers or anything and i can understand the social issues with all of that but again you you do you you you fall in love with the people that are around you well and you're in high stress times. It might be nice to have someone to hug nearby not sex so much for reproduction but for an elbow kind of comfort comfort each other. Yeah to discourage people from that are to make or to not take advantage of its of its potential. Power think is a mistake. I think part of the part of the problem too is that we have Too much shame about earth control because the the biggest thing is when someone would get pregnant usually on deployment and of course the female has to go home. Because she's pregnant did her being out in combat as it just makes no sense for anything anymore but that loss of that's a loss of a soldier that someone in the in the battle.

"There's a. There's a footnote here that i'd like to share at the outset. I wish to note. This article focuses at length in the way servicemembers and veterans face hardship and mental illness. That may lead to suicide. The veterans emphasize here represented an alarming and significant portion but non majority of service members and veterans. I do not wish to reinforce stereotypes of veterans mark them as Never remember who says premium bashing Broken dangerous people I i agree with that. I'm glad they they mentioned it. So that it's clear You know they're the swing swing wildly to the left or right in terms of if someone is you. Know are are all veterans broken And someone is lost. Might they might. They conform to the projection. Not knowing where else to put themselves. Yeah it's a good point. I'm glad that they and that's the thing that i would mention here is that this is this is trying to poke at although let me get my thought together here. We don't want people to assume veterans broken. But how do we accurately measure the damage done to a veteran. If we're not analyzing it. In that way i mean people people need to be willing to ask the question and not have the obvious answer. You know meet someone. He's a veteran. Always served in iraq. I wonder about this. But don't assume they're know don't don't assume because because you don't really know what their service you know may have been some people do with it easier. Some people have have better mental health when they join or their families is more supportive in. They're able to to deal with it. Some people are deeply religious and their religious belief. Help steel with with some of that Yeah and. I don't want people to look at veterans as if they're broken but i do want them to understand. We're willingly doing this. To fellow human beings. Our children. No less and i say that like an eighteen year old. Who's who raises. The right hand is is still a child and they're not but they are in a lot of ways you know like like men.
