it took mike pence who's life was under threat, in the basement of the capitol to call the pentagon to organize military. >> you also heard that president biden was in the dining room watching television. >> that's right. >> and he didn't take calls from people. ivanka trump would repeatedly try to get him to do something. >> it was a really awkward time because you might remember as protesters literally broke into the landing near the senate and lawmakers were scrambling for their lives along with their staff who were barricading away from people chanting for their heads, during that time the president tweeted something criticizing mike pence. eventually that came down. ivanka was asked by chief of staff mark meadows to please, come down here, let's get your dad to say something. to call off the dogs, essentially. ivanka went back and forth between her second-floor office, back and forth multiple times at meadows request, trying to get it right essentially with the president, with her father. many people told us different ways that she was described that day, and not extremely forcefu

had to have these conversations. >> yeah, where she is misguided and so many senior leaders in the pentagon, critical race theory and the academia around it is not a history class. they are not talking about something that happened hundreds of years ago. they are talking about the fact that our constitution, our courts, our political system is systemically racist, misogynist, colonialist today, and they are teaching that to the very people that we are going to ask to go die for those institutions and dying to defend that flag. it's incredibly disturbing. i have fought around the world, we need to keep a military that is apolitical, merit-based, and focused on winning our nations world, and nobody cares about black, white, or brown from our enemies certainly don't -- it doesn't matter where you came from, you are all valid americans and all moving forward as one, and critical race theory undermines all of that, yet it is being taught in every one of our military academies, including at west point, a seminar titled "how to deal with your whiteness and your white rage." that is not something a

i hope that the biden administration will firg out along with the pentagon how to support them in the air. if it doesn't we'll see the major cities just start to fall and they will consolidate their defenses around kabul and keeping the airport open is the only way the government will stay in power. if that airport starts to be threatened, everybody is going to leave. it will be an ugly situation to be sure for the afghans to deal with and americans to bear witness to. >> gillian: especially tragic considering the number of american lives lost during the last two decades, the trillions of dollars in taxpayer money funneled to that country. general jack keane, thank you for taking time for us today. we appreciate it. >> great talking to you. >> griff: the ufo report is in but one democratic lawmaker wants more answers. house intelligence committee member andre carson calling on congress to hold additional hearings on the suspected ufo sightings. he says the intelligence community's report to congress is inconclusive. the public has a right to know about the sightings. i printed out the

too, on that day, on january 6th, as everything was unfolding, i was hearing from people close to the pentagon that they were concerned about us in the media using the term insurrection because they were worried that the president, then president, would use that as an excuse to invoke the insurrection act. so you put the pieces together after what we knew realtime versus behind what is behind the curtain in this book. >> there is something else i want to read to you if we could pull it up in in the control room. this is what he said. i'm trying to find it here. but it was really striking from the book. another of the excerpts here. he told his deputies, quote, they may try but they're not going to f'ing succeed and you can't do this without the military and the cia and the fbi. we are the guys with the guns. it's notable, especially given the comments he made a few days after the election about following law and order. >> no, that is exactly right. look, i mean we also have to put in context here general milley as part of this book, it appears that there are some reputation refining going on.

the pentagon has confirmed it to us. spokesman chris mitchell described the flights from loughlin noncitizen movement, part of what he called the u.s. immigration and custom enforcement's admission. he told us then to direct any further questions to ice. so we did, we called ice multiple times. ice did not deny they were using the air force base to relocate large numbers of foreign nationals into the interior of our country and doir it secretl. the question is, where are all these people going? several times a ice promised us additional details but in the end we never heard back. apparently americans do not have a right to know where foreign nationals are being settled in their own country. we do know, thanks to the center for immigrationow studies that e a administration, the biden a administration has been sending illegal migrants all over the united states for some time now. watchtr this. >> what's happening most of the time is that they are boarding buses and heading into america's heartland. a conveyor belt of comme

the fact that nasa stepped out of the process of contracting the way that it handled pentagon contracts, cost-plus contracts with a lot of scrutiny that was onerous, and let the likes of elon musk build their own rockets, retain their intellectual property and sell seats back to nasa, that was a brilliant way to start a true economic enterprise in lower earth orbit. that's what we're seeing right now. when you get the capitalist system involved, costs get driven down, competition comes into play and elon musk is doing it much cheaper than the space shuttle or rockets could previously do it. >> that's good news. i don't want to get in the middle, between two billionaires here on who can claim victory. so, jeff bezos is going to be eight days later than branson, but the blue origin, that goes hi higher, much higher into space. does that give him bragging rights? the real bragging rights? i d >> i don't know. the sky is dark. the earth has got a spherical look to it. and you're floating. i would say you're in space either way. wherever that imaginary line is drawn by u.s. standards or inte

oren lieberman live at the pentagon with more. >> reporter: john, the u.s. carried out a pair of air strikes in the kandahar province early thursday morning against the taliban in support of afghan forces. the u.s. went after captured equipment, for example, stolen vehicles. that is equipment that was handed over from the u.s. to the afghan military as part of the withdrawal of u.s. forces from the country and then it was then seized by the taliban as it sweeps across the country. the u.s., as you pointed out, carried out about six or seven air strikes against the taliban in support of the afghans over the course of the past 30 days. that's a decreased pace. prior to that, it was a near daily occurrence as the withdrawal of u.s. forces continued towards that august 31st end date when all u.s. troops will be out of afghanistan. crucially, according to a defense official, three of the last four strikes mostly carried out by drones have been against this captured equipment. that's an indication that the u.s. military and commanders there have decided they will

trump, who stepped into that role of commander in chief and was in conversation with the brass at the pentagon and federal law enforcement leaders to try to marshal some sort of response to the capitol to regain control of the capitol, who had been under siege by these violent rioters. trump was just watching the television and it took his aides, and his daughter ivanka, several hours to convince him to issue the statement where he told his supporters to go home. and a lot of people around the president that day thought that was a true abdication of his duty. >> you mentioned mike pence and i have to say, he refused for his own safety to be removed from the capitol, according to your book, because he says we are certifying this election as demanded by our constitution. he refused to leave, which was pretty bold. and i don't think it was quite apparent for most people before the reporting in this book that that was a really strong position that he took. you also write in the book about how general mark milley and heads of each of the branches of military began, quote, informally planning how th

budget and more than the pentagon recommended it so is this a bargaining chip when you talking with the push and pull of the back-and-forth, so to be used by who and what purpose. it. guest: you can see this is a rebuke of resident biden asking for in this committee saying that we want to actually spend more that and having a lot of democrats sign on to the decision and $25 billion more the feeling was among those who are seeking money, mind you this goes to the appropriations committee and approval of congress but what we are saying is that your accounting for inflation it clearly enough and you're not accounting for additional spending that you want to ramp up or for the possibly from china and russia so we want more money in the bill. and also, infrastructure spending in the budget proposal additional money for the pentagon, a lot of it depends on how the economy performs. the expectation is that this urgent that we are saying is going to continue but what covid-19 does will define how the economy does and whether or not we can get enough americans to stop listening to anti- vacc

and we also have a couple of big developments out of the pentagon. for the first time under the biden administration, a detainee has been transferred out of guantanamo bay and taken to morocco 19 years after he was captured in afghanistan. he was never charged with a crime. there are now just 39 prisoners left at guantanamo bay. >>> and breaking in the last hour or so, the biden administration is set to start evacuating translators, drivers and others who helped the u.s. military in afghanistan. joining us with more on this is our pentagon correspondent courtney kube. a lot of people who served in afghanistan, i know you've talked to them, have been pressuring the administration to get this done sooner rather than later saying those folks were in danger. what do we know about what will happen, what the time line looks like? >> so these are the first 700 or so of these people who worked with u.s. military many as you mentioned served as interpreters and their families. so about 2500 people total. but it is important to point out, these are individuals
