you're a former pentagon official. you know about some of the civilians that were put in belatedly after the defense secretary mark esper was fired. something is going on there. >> yeah, a couple of comments. first of all, we owe george w. bush a great debt of gratitude for having appointed as chair of the 9/11 commission an historian, tom cane, also a governor, but historian first i would say. second, the calling of those capitol police and metropolitan police witnesses was a brilliant move. what has to happen here is to set the record straight, and you do that by telling a story. we tried to do that in the 9/11 commission, giving the american people a narrative to which they could relate. if you think back to what happened, reconstruction after the civil war, the confederacy won the pr campaign by essentially saying the civil war was an effort to destroy states' rights and effort by greedy northerners, when the civil war was about ending slavery, and defeating that practice in the south. we can't let that happen here

today the pentagon said the u.s. withdrawal from america's longest war is more than 90% complete. in addition to pulling out troops and the equipment that go with them, that goes with them, the u.s. military handed over seven military facilities to the afghan defense ministry including bagram. the bagram airfield. the speed means the pentagon will almost certainly complete the withdrawal by the september deadline and raises concern of the aftermath of the u.s. forces leaving. this weekend the top u.s. military official in charge of overseeing the withdrawal raised alarm of how quickly the taliban is growing the control over large swaths of the country. warned of a possible civil war. warned about the potential for a full taliban takeover of afghanistan. and that prospect raises questions about the length of this war, what choices we as a current have to make on our way out the door. what options afghanistan will have in the long run. but before any of those concerns, very near, short run raises a questions about the promises that our government and our military made to afghans who

. >> reporter: cnn's pentagon correspondent orrin lieberman joins us before covering the pentagon, orrin was stationed in jerusalem for cnn for years. what is the current dynamic in jerusalem? >> jake, it would be a mistake to think that the current tensions are something new to the city. this has been a city because of its religious importance to christianity, islam and jerusalem, has been in conflict for thousand of years, and that's what this series dives into, religious conflict because at different times in history it's been ruled under jewish rule, christian rule and islamic rule, but then political conflict as well with the religion so close together, the political and national identities that tie into that. it's all part of it, and it's not just the past that makes jerusalem significant, it is the future because of jerusalem's place in prophecy when it comes to biblical prophecy and it's fascinating to remember that the poverty stories for jerusalem is very often more powerful than the truth of the stories, and that's why it has such an impact on people and that's why the series

yes, sir, it was the sternest or other pentagon officials listening had ever heard pence. it's remarkable how hands off trump was. they were under assault. they did not have enough police officers to defend it and pence, the vice president had to order more troops to come to help. >> i haven't looked at -- and the legal structures on that, but that -- but that prior reporting on this. this is a chilling and stunning moment because it is not typically in the perview of the vice president to give an order to the secretary of defense about sending troops. that, in fact, is a responsibility reserved for the commander in chief and he wouldn't do it which is also a recognition then from the military leaders and let them know exactly what trump's intent was tisit or explicit and what was happening and their essentially circumvention that have responsibility. >> it's honestly like a 20th amendment kind of moment except nobody sin volk 209th moment. the president is not capable of doing what needs to be done so let's fudge our way through this. >> yes, yes, that's exactly right. >>

she covers national security affairs and the pentagon. you have been that, you have seen it, you understand this threat. there are a lot of americans who think we need to get out at this point and you can understand how they come to that. but afghanistan, after 20 years, is not a secure place. >> absolutely not. and it's only gotten worse. just in these last few weeks, since the biden administration announced that u.s. was leaving. you have to look at this larger threat and look at it from a u.s. homeland perspective. the reality is the taliban doesn't threaten the united states. they don't threaten the homeland. they are very regionally focused. the issue with the taliban is they allow safe haven to terror groups like isis in afghanistan and then of course al qaeda. you know, al qaeda and isis have been finding some safe haven a even in the years the u.s. has been there, they have been taking counterterror skrieks against them. the concern is that once the u.s. and coalition forces leave, that al qaeda will find safe haven, regroup, they

things like the pentagon world trade or commerce city . what the trigger was. you don't know what the trigger is here. we look at, from the materials testing and stuff, we look at the materials that were used and their consistency and strength. then at the beginning of this, like last friday night, i came up in my head with 20 things without could have caused this. what we do is we eliminate them. we move down the list, we add more things to the list, and if possible we remove them from the list if we can prove it. then once we have the models done, we start saying, let's assume a hypothetical situation that this particular material wasn't the strength it was supposed to be. so we plug in what that material strength is an say, does that contribute to a problem or does it cause a problem? it is like three huge 3000-piece puzzles that you throw up in the air and you mix them all up with a broom so they're all mixed up and then you have to put the puzzle together. william: we have seen reports about the building owners getting some warnings that certain things nee

the selection of those civilians who were all people of a particular political stripe to be in the pentagon when they had no experience and no reason for being in there, was certainly a red warning sign. that was happening in plain sight, absolutely. >> the military is senator always going to be our safety net and general flynn could have potentially been back in the pentagon and he is as much of a qanon nut as you can get. it is the lawyers, the civilian people, the secretaries of this cabinet that are serving on corporate boards and treated as if they weren't part of the insurrection that enableds this feeble man. donald trump is a very dumb man, he could not have done this on his own. there were people operating in levels of government that almost attempted a coup, so we can't just rely on the military. we have to make sure we have civil society and servants that are going to protection the constitution and when they don't, there should be consequences. we shouldn't just invite them back as if nothing happened. >> do you think the january 6th committee or commission, whatever you want to

senior pentagon officials here in the u.s. say the first group of afghan interpreters evacuated from afghanistan is going to fort lee virginia. an official says the initial group of about 2500, 700 translators and their families has completed the security vetting process. the afghans will soon finish the last step such as medical screening and final administrative requirements. demonstrations supporting antigovernment protests in cuba have expanded from south florida to washington. groups gathered outside the white house and the cuban embassy saturday. many came by bus from the miami area. limited social media posts indicate antigovernment protests are still going on in cuba, havana, and other places. saturday, former president raÚl castro joined thousand of people in a pro-government rally in havana, pushed, of course, by the cuban government. pope francis is calling for peace and dialogue in cuba following these protests. another fact though, cuba now has the highest rate of coves infections per capita in latin america. joi

they are not going to guam but as of today the state department and the pentagon does have a plan for where they're going to send these folks. the first group of them at least. we'll be updating you on that tonight. again, bit of a breakthrough on that story that we've been covering so closely. we're also tonight going to be looking at this blockbuster reporting making headlines literally all over the world today about a company that's been selling military-grade surveillance technology to governments all over the world. even if you, you know, never click on a dodgy link sent to you from someone you don't know, even if you always change your passwords and they're really hard to guess, even if you keep all your software up to date and your devices up to date and you have all the latest security patches and you have two-factor authentication and all that other annoying stuff they tell you to do, even if you do everything right this is spying software that can see every single thing that you do on your phone. and everything about you that your phone can discern including your exact locat

things like the pentagon and world trade center, you know what the trigger is. here we don't know what the trigger is. so we're looking at the building and the codes it was suosed to be design from. we look from the materials testing, we look at the materials and bear the consistency and strength and things like that. and then what we do, at the beginning of this, like last friday night, i came up in my head with 20 things i think might caused something like that. we eliminate as many as we can. and we add more things to the list, and as we possibly can, we remove th from the list if we can prove it. then once we have the models done, we start saying let's assume, in a hypothetical situation, that this particular material wasn't the strength it was supposed to be. so we plug in what that material strength is and say does that contribute to a problem or cause a problem? it is like three huge 3,000-piece puzzles, and you mix them all up with a broom, and then you have to put the puzzle together. >> brangham: we have seen various reports about the building owners g

and pentagon officials say the coronavirus pandemic is a national security threat. it may require military personnel to be vaccinated. the message from the pentagon individuals who did not take the vaccine they say may be required to wear masks physically distanced and be tested regularly. we are back with cdc director dr. rochelle walensky. i want to start there. are you for mandating a vaccine on a federal level? >> um, you know, that's something that i think the administration is looking into. it's something that i think we are looking see approval of from the vaccine. overall, i think in general, i am all for more vaccination. but, you know, i have nothing further to say on that except that we are looking into those policies. and, quite honestly, if people are doing that locally, those are individual local decisions as well. >> bret: right. but you are in the medical field and you can hear the pushback from people who say i need to determine what is put inside my body with my doctor. so you get that pushback? >> i completely understand the pushback and i also un

tonight, explosive new reporting on pentagon measures to protect democracy, and congressman adam schiff on what it means for the committee investigating the capitol riot. >>> then democrats in congress arrested during a march for voting rights. tonight, former attorney general erik holder on where that fight starts. >> and my exclusive interview with vivek murthy on misinformation. >> misinformation poses an imminent and insidious threat to our nation's health. >> when "all in" starts right now. >>> good evening from new york, i'm chris hayes. it was all hiding in plain sight, wasn't it, in retrospect, the concern about what donald trump would do if he lost the election was there for all of us to see. we all saw it. i saw it from this position talking to you every night, unfold in realtime. even as someone who covered it day by day, felt the danger, worried about where democracy was headed. was up late at night every night worried about it, both in the run up to the election, then its after math, culminating in the january 6th insurrection, i someone very tuned into the news did not qui

conference earlier in the pentagon. milley was joined by defense secretary lloyd austin. perhaps not a big surprise. milley shied away, would not confirm after repeated questions anything about what these books said about him and his relationship with the former president. have a listen to what he had to say. >> i know there's a lot of interest out there and all of these books that are out there quoting me and lots of others, et cetera. i'm not going to comment on what's in any of those books. let me just say this, though. i always personally provided the best military professional advice to president trump previously, to president biden or any other president. but we take an oath, an oath to a document, an oath to the constitution of the united states, and not one time did we violate that. >> perhaps most interesting, milley did not dispute any of the things that any of these books said about him and his very tense relationship with the final days of the trump white house. and then secretary austin weighed in and gave

and there was a concern at the pentagon about what was going on. it was heightened by the fact that the president had installed his own loyalists there at the pentagon in the days after the election. remember he fired mark esper, secretary of defense, put in chris miller. and elevated a couple of loyalists there at the pentagon at the last minute. there was talk about firing chris wray. the justice department, where attorney general barr eventually resigned and there was talk about a coup against the deputy he put in place to take over for the last few weeks. there was a sense around town, particularly at the office of the joint chairman and chiefs that something was going on and they had to be aware and prepared for it. if you think about how extraordinary that is, we haven't seen a situation like that really certainly in modern american history. and i think it goes to remind us how serious the tension of those days were and how the outcome was not at all fore daned. mark milley was appointed by president trump, don't forget. he was appointed over
