Come out of donald trump. he was doing something different, responding to an opponent. his instinct, donald trump is to go at him. he said he wanted to be nice but he went at him with the obvious. your brother was in office at the time. it's on him. >> i'm suggesting there's substance here that we can hash out, the pdb of august 6th, george tenet saying the community was blinking red. many were afraid to go after it. by the way, if it were an issue that could sell to a general election, you think john kerry would have been elected in 2004 and he wasn't. all i'm saying is, i think people tend t...

Done anything different or would have been able to stop what happened on september 11th. >> go ahead, curt. >> but, brooke, people are portraying it as if this was part of, you know, a huge slosh of information that was crossing bush's desk. it wasn't. this was the focus of these multiple briefings. in fact, everyone knows of the august 6th briefing because it's the only one the bush white house released where it is a historical assessment of al qaeda. but it is historical. well, the reason that document exists is because bush was getting so many briefings that said an attack is coming, an att...

Was planned against the united states. so, was it a general warning? yes. that's why the president asked to be briefed. that's why he asked for the briefing august 6th on his ranch in texas. if there was real fear or a threat of an attack coming, wouldn't george tenant be going to the oval office? wouldn't the cia be going to the oval office? the fact is, they did not because they did not have the intelligence. after 9/11, president bush set up the counterterrorism infrastructure, which has prevented any major attack against the homeland since september 11th. but donald trump is wrong. he's re...

Have done more. jeb bush says that donald trump is completely wrong. i know you like donald trump, but in this particular case, you say he sounds like michael moore. but there have been indications, there have been reports saying more could have been done. you've seen the 9/11 commission reports, for example. >> wolf, i almost entirely disagree with that. yes, there were reports that al qaeda may try to attack the united states. that went back to 1998, 1999, 2000. but president bush was briefed extensively, and every one of those briefings, including the august 6th briefing from mike morell, s...

He came into office and when the head of the cia, who, again, is the leading intelligence person in the country, when he tells the president and his memoirs specifically says that there was no intelligence regarding any threats. so me, to be blaming president bush for that is totally wrong. i mean, that is totally misguided. it was after 9/11 that the president did reform all that and said in the counterterrorism infrastructure. if you want to point fingers, we could certainly go back into the clinton administration. to be eight months into office and to have inherited a system and to say that...
