washington. israel now has the list of hostages who are supposed to be released tomorrow, and we are just hours away from day two of this expected four-day truce. i should note, we are getting new reporting in now. we are told there are several children who are on that list for tomorrow. of course the final group remains to be seen. that is something that we will learn as it happens in real time, as we did today, with this first group of hamas-held hostages being back on israeli soil. what we know is happening right now is they are getting medical treatment across multiple different locations here in tel aviv, where they have been reunited with their families. they are also including, at this children s hospital that is right outside of where i m standing right now, 24 hostages in total, which are 13 israelis, ten thai citizens, one filipino, all evacuated from gaza today and released by hamas after being held there for several weeks. there was not a dry eye in the room when

than they would have had if you had crooked hillary clinton as president. okay? that i can tell you. many billions of dollars more. joined by retired army general wesley clark, who is nato s former supreme commander and by retired army lieutenant general mark hertling. thanks for being with us. general clark, as a former nato supreme allied commander, i wonder what you make of the president s comments, what went throughed your mind if you heard him say that today. well, first, anderson, these countries have all paid their debts to nato. what we have tried to explain for years to president trump, but he doesn t want to hear, is it s about how much money they are spending on their own defense. now, full credit to president trump, he did make an issue of this and several countries are spending more on their defense, so that s a good thing. but what these presidents want and what nato wants is consistent, strong, reliable u.s. leadership.
trump. we are not just a super power. we are now a hyper power. these are the trying times. through cuban missile crisis, we stood behind jfk. this is aanalogous to the cuban missile crisis. that was the deputy assistant to the president mimicking his boss s bellicose language this morning. in the past 24 hours, we ve seen a dramatic upknick hostile rhetoric from the president and some of his staff. where does this lead to administration going forward? for more, i m joined by retired army general jack jacobs. let me ask the question this y way. in terms of of the audience, for this kind of rhett risker there s the north korean regime itself. there s china who wants to be taking a more active role in bringing north korea to heel. either of those two audiences,
some might consider it striking considering a few days ago he seemed to leave the blame of the death of a navy s.e.a.l. on his generals. to talk more about this and the day s top headlines, i m joined by retired general wesley clark, kevin barron, msnbc national security and military analyst and executive editor of defense one and marcel, former undersecretary of defense for intelligence under president obama. in a few minutes we ll get our own hans nichols, who is at that event. general clark, i would like to start with you. the president is on the uss gerald ford. he s addressing sailors. he is trying to enjoy the optics of that. he s increasing defense spending. is that all being overshadowed by this drama that is only ratcheting up about his attorney general? that s certainly a concern. i happened to be in washington today. i m hearing a lot about the drama. i m happy to see him down there with the sailors. we love our men and women in
