my administration will continue to individually monitor violent threats from al-qaeda, no matter where they emanate from. as commander-in-chief, it is my solemn responsibility to make america safe in a dangerous world. the united states did not seek this war against terror, you came to us. we answered with the same principles and resolve that has shaped us for generation upon generation. to protect the innocent, defend liberty, and we keep the light of freedom burning a beacon for the rest of the entire world. this announcement today was rather unexpected, but quite huge in significance. and to understand just how pivotal zawahiri was to al qaeda, it is worth looking at some of his history. he was born into a prominent egyptian family, but in the 1960s, he joined up with the muslim brotherhood, and was eventually arrested as part of a plot to overthrow the government in the early 19 80s. and it is the torture that he experienced in that prison, that fully radicalized the yo
11th hour gets underway on this friday night. good evening once again. i am stephanie ruhle. here we go, after yet another week of growing pressure, the former president is taking his attacks on the fbi to an even more alarming, and potentially, dangerous level. donald trump and his allies have been escalating their rhetoric against law enforcement, ever since the search of his florida home, which was almost two weeks ago. america s law enforcement officials are now on high alert, and they ve been asking to tamp down the heat of rhetoric. but tonight, here we are again. on trump s social media site, i want you to hear how he referred to the fbi and doj. quote, atrocities being perpetuated by the fbi and doj having to do with the raid and breaking of my home, mar-a-lago. he goes on to write, they have no shame. they are destroying our country! of course, there was no break in. the fbi s search, not raid, was carried out legally, with a signed warrant by a federal judge
california history. agh. lucky for us the fires hadn t made it to where my family lives in oakland, but the air had gotten so bad that it wasn t safe to breathe. so my wife and i took me, the asthmatic, my elderly parent, and our kids straight to vegas. not because we wanted to gamble, but because it was close and there were cheap flights. now back then, it seemed like a oneself-in-a-lifetime thing. fire rescue, what is your emergency? but ever since, the fires in california have a gotten worse. dixie fire. woolsey fire. are more towns burned to the ground, more forests devastated and more refugees. this episode is about californians and fire, because we got to learn how to get along. now if you re thinking that you re safe because you live outside of california, nope. wildfires happen across america, from alaska to florida. and they happen all over the world. wildfires sweeping across australia. cape town. estonia and turkey. nigeria. all the wa
fbi search warrant. plus, how a new crop of maga winners raises the stakes for the midterms. an explosive new reporting on the secret history of family separation. american people don t like the idea that we re separating families. we never really intended to do. that the atlantic s kaitlan dickinson has the untold story of an american catastrophe, when all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m alicia menendez in for chris hayes. 48 hours later there are many unanswered questions surrounding the fbi s search of donald trump s florida home. right now, the ex president is not even in florida, he s new york city to testify in a distant different to investigation into his conduct. this is a civil investigation into the trump organization led by the new york state attorney general letitia james. trump said he would not answer any questions, instead invoking his fifth amendment right. something as you well know he has mocked others for in the past. we have more o
well, i mean, there s constitutional duty. what he has, he s the commander in chief. that was my biggest issue with him, as national security adviser. white house advisers to former president trump understood the constitutional oath of the presidency. trump apparently did not. mika, as we have gone through the testimonies, as we ve talked through this the past several hours, one thing really does keep sticking out to me, and that is the testimony of cipollone, where he was asked who else in the white house agreed with the president that the riot should continue. who in the white house did not want him to stop the riots, did not want him to speak out and tell them to stop. he said nobody. nobody. he said nobody. nobody inside the white house wanted the riots to continue. let me put it a different way. everybody in the white house wanted the president to act affirmatively to stop the riots. they told him that. he refused. his family members, his children, told him tha
