correspondent. courtney, thank you for being up at 5:00 in the morning for us. i really appreciate you staying up. thanks for having me. so let me talk to you about the aftermath of the baghdadi raid and this remarkable announcement and ongoing discussion that the president had with reporters about what happened there. you and carol say that national security officials are cringing at some of the things he said were classified. some of the things he said were untrue. what are the national security worries about the president s remarks after this raid? so it was really a combination, two categories of information here. one was the classified information that he talked about and the other was the tactical. so on the classified side, he talked about things, it s getting a lot of attention today like the dog, the dog that was involved in this raid. technically, that is a classified detail. both the existence, the breed, everything. the name of that dog is classified. but beyond that,
isis origins, it would stand to reason that that might be the sort of safe house where baghdadi frequented often. it s just the kind of information that the military doesn t necessarily want out, because it might provide a pathway to isis, to find out how they might go about future raids. you know, we ve seen a number of raids against isis and strikes in the immediate aftermath of 48 hours or so since this actually occurred. and you generally, right after something like this, you will see those sorts of high-viz, high-value raids and targeting. and generally, we don t yet know in the cases of the ones like isis spokesperson, who was kill sunday, i think it was, i m sorry, i m losing track of my days here, but isis spokesperson who was killed. but generally, those kind of things are because they ve been able to gather and gain very valuable information from this raid, and then they exploit it very quickly. so anything that lets on that that was happening, it just
to earn j.d. power chevdependability awards. across cars. trucks. and suvs. four years in a row. since more than 32,000 real people. just like me. and me. and me. took the survey that decided these awards. it was only right that you hear the good news from real people. like us. i m daniel. i m casey. i m julio. only chevy has earned j.d. power dependability awards across cars, trucks and suvs. four years in a row. this is the new headline just posted on nbc news tonight by courtney kube and carol lee. the headline, officials cringe as trump spills sensitive details of al baghdadi raid. some details the president has revealed are inaccurate, they say, others are classified. officials say they worry what to put in briefings for a man with no filter. joining us now live from iraq is courtney kube, nbc s national security and military
delta forces. that s a unit that the military doesn t even technically publicly acknowledge exists, let alone talk about any of the tactics they might use in a highly sensitive, highly visible raid like the one we saw over the weekend. courtney, in terms of follow-on actions after this, obviously, the death of baghdadi is significant in itself, in terms of what that s going to mean for isis, but the idea that it could be an intelligence windfall. that you could collect so much not only people, you cannot only take other people into custody, that could provide you further information or that themselves would be valuable as prisoners, but you could get a lot of documents or other material that might be helpful in terms of follow-on raids and other things that you could leverage against isis. the president disclosing both the existence of that kind of evidence and the ongoing efforts intelligence? it undercuts the ability to
his compound in northwestern syria. she was already in iraq when that happened. well, from that vantage point, she s in a unique position from which to be able to report on that raid and its consequences. she s got fascinating new reporting out tonight along with reporter carol lee about both the sensitive information and the untrue information that president trump shared during his press conference about the raid. courtney kube s going to join us live from iraq, next. but allstate actually helps you drive safely. with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast. .and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost. unfortunately, it can t do anything about that. now that you know the truth. are you in good hands?
