notified in advance and the of this winery just north of overall strategy in the region. santa rosa. this historic property founded so, strong call there s from in 1869 will not that is not housz speaker nancy pelosi. even the only winery wiped out. no word yet when or if that and south of there, look at the briefing is going to take police live pictures of a fire burning station. thank you so much. in l.a. county. we have so many points to make here and i have a great group you can see flames there. here to talk about it. we have nick rasmus ssen. lebron james and his family had major general robert scales, and to evacuate and they were having michael mcfall who was a u.s. trouble finding a hotel woom. ambassador to russia under sarah, i know owe spoke with president obama. general. let s start with what worked some evacuees and i m guessing here beyond the obvious which is that this was a successful raid. they have some harrowing stories how would you characterize what to tell. w
suggesting that they would leak and put american lives at risk. you re in the office, as i understand it, when speaker boehner was notified about the death of bin laden? i think we need a little more information. the gang of eight, speaker pelosi and others, talking about the ongoing planning for this operation. in the lead up to the killing of bin laden, former speaker boehner and others were kept in the loop that they identified where he was and they were working toward this operation. another was are they getting a phone call after they had been carried out and that they had been killed. congressional leaders were informed that they were killed i belief just a matter of minutes or hours before president obama
opportunity. let me ask you about the death of al-baghdadi which we can agree thank god for our special operators. two minor injuries, but they re okay. as somebody who was critical about president trump s position on withdrawing troops from northern syria, does this bolster your argument to keep forces there or does it bolster the president s hand? i m happy where the president is ending up, keeping a presence in syria. we have to stay on offense and keep our foot on their neck. it takes a network to defeat a network. we have to do that forward. i ve been loud and clear saying if we withdraw too soon like we did under obama terrorism will follow us home. congressman, thank you so much. thank you for your service. thank you everyone for being here. the president writes him off
