i think that has always rankled general mattis.ink it's quite out of touch where the political sentiment is in the country in many ways. and it goes to the question of do you believe and does general mattis believe that donald trump is really some kind of an exceptional threat to the country, that he's not just another president, even one with controversial views? if the answer to that is yes, then you have some sort of a duty to speak out. if the answer is no, then you would do what general mattis is doing. >> i want to read something. this is from your column. and extreme august.cky, angry - you say, the trump extremes on x-r display revive a debate about whether he is descending into even less presidential behavior, shedding the remaining constraints imposed upon him by his office and the efforts of his ever-changing staff. it seems as if trump is wackier, angrier, more willing to lash out and more desperately seeking attention, that is because he is. why do you think we're seeing these extremes from him? >> well, you know, don,

general mattis on duty, honor, and loyalty. >>> but first, here's my take. britain's conservative party is arguably the most successful political party of the modern age. thetories, as they're also known, have ruled britain for nearly 60 of the 90 years since 1929, the country's first election with universal adult suffrage. but this week, we watched the beginning of the end of the conservative party, at least as we have known it. in the post-world war ii area, theto tories were defined by an advocacy of free markets and traditional values, a combination that was brought to its climax in the person of margaret thatcher, the tories' most effective prime minister since winton churchill. this free market orientation made sense. the second half of the 20th century was dominated by one big issue, the clash between communism and capitalism. throughout the world, countries aligned themselves on a left/right spectrum that related to that central issue. the role of the state in economics. in america in the 1950s and '60s, the democrats included northern progressives a

mattis divides his book into three parts. direct leadership, executive leadership and strategic leadership. in the first part, he recalls the earlys experiences leading marines into battle. when he knew his troops as well as his own brothers. in the second part, he explores what it means to command thousands of troops and to adapt leadership styles to ensure your intent is understood so they can informed her own mission. he describes the challenges and techniques of leadership at the strategic level were military leaders reconcile wars grim realities with political leaders and human aspirations. where complexity rings and the consequences are severe even catastrophic. calls for chaos is a memoir of the life of war fighting and life long learning. following along from the marine recruit to four-star general. it's a journey of learning to lead in the story of how he through constant study and action had a unique leadership philosophy that led him to the man he is today. general mattis will be in conversation with david brooks,

and i think this is where secretary mattis, you know, he said this. and he quit because the president neglected our allies. we could not have been able to accomplish what we've accomplished had our allies not been there. they stood up on 9/11 to support us and we can't abandon our role. that said, we need to negotiate and get out of afghanistan, but we can't do it by ourselves and we shouldn't be doing it by inviting the taliban to camp david. >> senator tammy duckworth -- and i don't need to remind any of us certainly that you have made enormous sacrifices in service of the country in war. thank you very much. thank you for your insights today. joining me now nbc news correspondent ken dilanian. what we had originally planned to talk about with both of you is this russian spy mystery. ken you were in the middle of it. let me go to frank. this is another issue, the relationship with vladimir putin front and center now as we talk about a highly placed former russian official brought back by the cia out of fear that there had been media reports in 2016

i want to talk about jim mattis who abruptly left the administration and how he will speak out.g out now. he says that the atlantic last week, the duty of silence. if you leave an administration, uh-oh some silence. when you leave an administration over clear policies differences, you need to give the people there as much opportunity as possible to defend the country. there is a period which i owe my silence. sit not going to be forever. >> he took a similar tact. he's more reticent, seemingly, in this book than he was in his resignation letter. it was clear he was resigning in protest and it was about his relationship with the president. the atlantic interview is very funny. the interviewer is pressing him. why aren't you being more forceful? why won't you criticize the president? don't you have a duty to share it with the american public? he is steadfast in his view. it will be interesting to see does he decide to become a more outspoken critic of trump? and that's a big decision particularly for someone of mattis's stature who has always prided himself on being nonpolitical.

what the hell is mattis doing? going from defending america to selling out america.t's only fair to note the cohen group does also talk about helping american companies. i get it possible general mattis has insisted on a clause in his contract the limits them to such work but even if that is the case is welcome anytime on the show to tell us it's a shameful for him to have anything to do with this swampy firm that shows no loyalty to the country that put it where it is. if you agree, have your say at steve hilton asked. next, another even worse example of this swampy revolving door involving a former obama china and official. a surprise special guest later in the show and you will love who it is. don't miss it. don't miss it. ♪my insurance rates are probably gonna double. but dad, you've got allstate. with accident forgiveness they guarantee your rates won't go up just because of an accident. smart kid. indeed. are you in good hands? stop struggling to clean tough messes with sprays. try clean freak! it has three times the cleaning power to dissolve kitchen grease on

i recall secretary mattis. making a comment to a group of us one time, what could be the worse case situation right here? perhaps the worst case could be a stronger alignment between those two great power competitors and what that means to us. so i think those are the areas that from a very high strategic level, we ought b to be paying attention to. sfwl grea. >> i spent a lot of time working on strategy in the pentagon. the fun and easy part is setting priorities and where you're going to put your emphasis. the hard part is deciding where and when you don't have unlimited resources. this braeter focus on china or russia and great power competition. where should this community afford to take risks? is it the middle east? in certain types of military operations? how do you think about accepting and managing a degree of risk? >> the real challenge here. in the national defense strategy, at least the current one, promulgated under secretary mattis was very clear in terms of where the focus was. it was focused on g

jim mattis and h.r.rump not taking that job seriously in, terms of how unfit he is to be in that job. if they told the public, it would really resonate, right? so i think it's outrageous for mattis to say i'm more than willing to write this book and go on a speaking tour and make all the money that comes with that and i'm more than willing by the way to trash the previous commander of chief, obama, which he's bonn doing regularly, but then i get to sit on this high horse and have it go both ways. i get to wink at you and say yeah, i think he's crazy too. i won't break that code. >> demanding. he talks about general terms. in the marines, we believe in firm leadership. it's like this is how jim mattis tells you your house is on fire. and in the marines, we're against combustion. we believe that things should not combine with oxygen creating flames. that's generally one of our policies. and meanwhile, the house is on fire. and i mean, again, who am i to criticize these men who have actually put their life
