it is a political score settling. there s another aspect to it. many people have said that these instances are increasing where journalists are being treated as geopolitical pawns. we talk about it on this program, journalists who are jailed for doing their jobs. it s hard to understand what it actually feels like. how would you describe what it felt like to be behind bars now that you re going to be advocating for other journalists in the same position? you don t go through an experience like this without being a changed man. that s what kept us going in solitaire confinement for one month. we knew that we were fighting now for a bigger cause, and you guys protected us. i also paid for my legal fees in prison. i founded this ngo in vancouver
and switch. using war on isis, which a also of people around the world support, as a pretext to go after turkey s old enemies and settle old scores. and i think it was some of that score settling and vengeance for that that we saw play out across turkey today. richard engel, thank you so much there. to the pentagon and nbc s jim miklaszewski, mik, start with the air base for u.s. fighters. it is closer, as you know, you ve been reporting to isis targets, and when you look at the strategic significance, how much more pressure does this put on isis, if at all? well, presumably a huge tactical advantage to u.s. war atlan planes, instead of flying hundreds of miles to get to the targets in syria, they will be able to launch from the air base and be over the target in syria within minutes. more importantly, they ll have more dwell time, circle targets
feeling that we had two turns with clinton. two terms with president obama. we have done great things. i don t want to minimize what was done. we are still seeing wealth consolidate and the poor get poorer and middle class wages stagnate. we have not had our fdr moment. we have not reshaped the way we think about opportunity many this country. or if we are start thing to reshape the way we think about it. we have not reshaped what we do. we have not come up with a strategy like we had mid last century where everybody grew together. we have not figured out how to do it with all of the political power we have had. progressives say it s not about score settling or score keeping. they are increasingly struggling. you said it s decision time. are they going to put cuomo on the line again. if i knew the answer take a guess! put odds on it.
you are the guy executing p it you re going to feel a tremendous amount of pressure for doing something like this. there s always a lot of pushing and shoving going on, everybody wants to do the best job. the president has to sort that out, when you come out of that pressure cooker, and it s all you have a lot of thoughts going through your head, when i found out, it took me a long time to unwind, i wrote a book, but did was therapeutic, but it was years after that, before i could express it in a few words what i had gone through. it takes a long time to die disgust something like this. when i used to read about cable news before i was in cable news, i wonder someone who s been on the inside of some of these meetings, it seems there s a tendency to do score settling anyone watching this program has a boss or a co-worker they would
