>> it's important for the country to understand what was going on. the last year of the trump administration and to tell the story about things we prevented, bad things, dangerous things that could have taken the country in a dark direction. >> what kind of things did you prevent? >> certainly the last year of the administration. folks in the white house were talking about taking military action against venezuela, to strike iran. at one point there was somebody that proposed we blockade cuba, these would come up and we would have to swat them down. >> who is we? >> mostly me and i had good support from mark millie. >> they ran the army for over a year before finding themselves in charge at the pentagon. in order to deal with what he called the crazy ideas coming from the white house, they came up with a system. >> i come up with this idea,

i get that. i had to explain, we cannot do that. that violates the national law and it would impact us in so many ways why don't we do this instead. >> you had pushed back on the idea. did he really say, no one would know it was us? >> yes, yes, he said that. and i just thought it was fanciful, of course, it would be us, i was reluctant to tell the story, i thought, people won't believe this. they will say i'm making it up dispe it. in trump's orbit will dasr after the election in 2020 with a fellow cabinet member and he said to me, he said, you know, remember the time when president trump suggested you shoot missiles in to mexico? and i said to him, you heard that? he said, oh, yeah, i could not believe it. and i could not how well you managed and talked him down from that. at that moment, i knew i had to

write the story, i had at least one witness to verify the story. >> reporter: when asked if that story was true, donald trump said in a statement to 60 minutes no comment. esper said to fact check his book, he send his manu script to dozens of members of the cabinet and they said what they read was accurate. during the late spring of 2020 it was not a foreign crisis r but the murder of george floyd in minneapolis that esper calls a turning point in his time as secretary of defense. on the night of may 31st in washington, protests for racial justice were marred by rioters that set parts of washington ablaze. and esper said enraged president trump. in a meeting the next morning, esper told us that the commander in chief was on the verge of

ordering 10,000 active duty troops in to streets of the capital. what was the most disturbing thing he said? >> he was ranting at the room. he is using a lot of, you know, foul language, you know, you all are -- losers. he used the same language and looked at mike pence? >> he did not call him directly, he was looking at him when he said it. that caught my attention and i thought, we are in a different spot, where he is going to finally give a direct order to deploy paratroopers in to the streets of washington, d.c. and i'm thinking with weapons and bayonets and it will be horrible. >> what specifically was he suggesting that the u.s. military should do to these protesters? >> he said, can't you just shoot them? just shoot them in the legs or something? and he is suggesting that's what we should do. bring in the troops and shoot

the protesters. >> reporter: the commander in chief was suggesting that the u.s. military shoot protesters? >> yes, in the streets of our nation's capital. that's right. shocking. >> reporter: we have seen in other countries a government use their military to shoot protesters. >> right. >> reporter: what kind of governments are those? >> knows are banana republics or autoritarian regimes. >> regarding whether he was going to order the military to shoot protesters, he said it was a lie, and than esper was weak and ineffective and he had to run the military. esper wanted to keep trump from deploying the military.

to placate trump, esper writes he ordered the 82nd airborne to a base outside of washington. that evening, the u.s. park police used force to clear protesters from the park. and the cabinet was called back at the white house. >> the president greets us. and i say, where are we going? and he just, he just ignores it and starts walking out the door. and crossing the, across the lawn heading out the gate. and as we round the corner. the press is all over, all over the place filming. taking pictures and it just dawned on me at that point in time that we have been duped. >> duped how? >> it's a political stunt and we, i, allowed myself to be put in that position and it only gets worse, right? >> how does it get worse? >> we end up in lafayette park, up near the church, and that's where the president steps out of the crowd, if you will, goes up

and picks up the bible and holds it up for everyone to see and i eventually get directed to come up and join him. and i made that mistake to kind of be there in the first place and to join him. >> within 24 hours, esper said he sent out a message to the employees of the department of defense, reminding them they must remain a-political and protect freedom of speech. and he decided it was not enough. the option to use active duty forces in a law enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort and only in the most urgent and dire of situations. we are not in one of those situations now. i do not support invoking the insurrection act. right after that, esper was summoned to the white house and he was sure that donald trump would fire him. why did you think he would fire you have? >> because i publically rebuked

him and what i would learn later at the white house is he thought i took away his authority to invoke the insurrection act. he did not believe he had the authority to impose it. >> politically you might have. >> with i suppose at a political level, he d-- he had the authority. >> esper told us he did not vote for either joe biden or donald trump but mailed in a ballot for another candidate. you are a life long republican. but in the book you detail how you subverted many of the president's wishes. people will say, you were disloyal. >> i never disobeyed a direct order from the president of the united states. i was fortunate that had he often didn't give direct orders. otherwise, i did what i thought was best for the nation and our security and completely within the authority granted to me

under the law. >> critics will say, why now in a book? why didn't you speak out in the trump administration? >> it's simple, if i spoke out at the time, i would be fired. number one. and secondly, i had no confidence that anybody that came in behind me would not be a real trump loyalist and lord knows what would have happened then. >> that was norah o'donnell reporting for 60 minutes. the "the cbs overnight news" will be right back. are you one of the millions of americans who experience occasional bloating, gas, or abdominal discomfort? taking align can help. align contains a quality probiotic to naturally help soothe digestive upsets 24/7. try align, the pros in digestive health. how did olay top expensive creams? like this with hydration that beats the $100 cream in every jar of regenerist retinol24 collagen peptide new vitamin c and the iconic red jar can't top this skin shop now at olay.com when you really need to sleep. you reach for the really good stuff.
