esper still has defense secretary on his resume. honestly, if we're being real about it, getting fired by trump will only bolster mark esper's reputation and probably his earning potential in the future. it will be seen as a badge of honor the way this president is going down in history. and beyond that, whoever the president puts in there to take esper's job after he fired us per, that person's only going to hold on to the job for a few weeks under this lame duck president before that person's definitely going to be fired by the incoming biden administration. it just seems like a lot of energy for not much payoff, not much payoff either in terms of what trump might get out of it or what kind of pain he might be able to vindictively inflict on esper by doing it. why bother? why are they going through all this effort to get people who may have annoyed the president or not out of there after the election and to put in all new people? well, it started with esper, but then it quickly got worse or weirder depending on how you think of it

to your first point, anderson, the president hired mark esper, his cyber security, hefi fired more than a dozen people. there was a time between now and january 20th where you would expect more firing. he has nothing to lose. in his mind has not always worked to his satisfaction, it has worked against him at times. >> what has the president's relationship with barr been like the last couple of months? >> it has been tenuous, the president wanted barr to make forceful claim of voter fraud and backing him up and he wanted barr to put out the durham report and say more about, you know, what the president-elect without evidence of substantiated fraud. there is a lot of folks who would say that barr was one of his most loyal after the mueller report, he put out a summary and critical of the mueller report. but, it seems like voter fraud accusation that the president made over and over again is a bit too far for bill barr. >> it would be easy for a foreign power to print up a bunch of phony ballots and send them in and that would be undetectib undetectib undetectib undetectible. he didn't off

mark esper. look, i'm not saying these guys are perfect but they didn't take it.inally, state election officials, republican and democrats, especially republicans, came under huge pressure. basically, you know, find some election fraud. you'll get a big, cash prize. whatever. they wouldn't do it. so, i think it was close, really close. but i think those three firewalls held and, ultimately, came down to people with a sense of duty, a sense of professionalism, doing the right thing because that's what they felt they should. i was just going to say i think americans, we rely too much on the idea we are going to set the system right. sometimes, you know, we -- we end up being saved by the people. and, look, i'm not -- i wish the system worked better but that's how we got saved, this time. >> tim woo, i thank you for joining us and thank you for your expertise in offering us some insight into what's going on. appreciate it. >>> so, we have more breaking news tonight. fda issues emergency-use authorization for pfizer's covid vaccine. and americans could start getting s

. >> congressman, this happened after defense secretary at the time mark esper said that he wouldn't be retaliated against, even though there was a delay, a long unexpected and unusual delay in his promotion prior to vindman actually stepping down. is this something that you think merits looking into and an investigation in and of itself because what message does this send to others in the military who want to speak out when they see something wrong and worry that the same thing may happen to them? >> absolutely. look, alexander vindman is an american hero. the courage he displayed was extraordinary. when he recounted the conversation he had with his dad about america it broke my heart because we expect the president of the united states and those that are part of his administration to fully support the rule of law and support people who come forward and testify truthfully and honestly about wrongdoing. this is just one area that i think requires additional review when this president leaves office so that we can be sure that this never happens again and understand how these things ha

, reminder that shortly after the election is when the president fired his defense secretary, mark esper. last week we heard acting defense secretary abruptly cut off any sort of transition meetings with the biden team as well. this is even more alarming. jeremy, we have seen the president turn to a fringe group of advisers in the west wing and away from others, including the republican senate majority leader who trump now claims won his state's re-election because of him. of course, that's not true. he won in a landslide. >> that's right. you're seeing the president send over that slide via personal assistant to republican senators, essentially accusing mitch mcconnell of disloyalty. seems to be a shot across the bow and warning to other republican senators that haven't come to grips with reality to not do so, and stand by the president as he continues sometimes outrageous efforts to contest results of a democratic election he lost. what you are seeing is the president turning away from anybody that tells him no, who tells him he lost the election, and turning towards the fringe of the

so, the secretary of defense, mark esper, the chairman of the joints chiefs of staff, the senior leaders all agreed, let's put the past aside. let's move forward. let's get names on these forts that all americans can respect and reflect our country. unfortunately, president trump doesn't want to do that. he's appealing to a certain part of the republican party he believes. i think he's mistaken. >> meanwhile, the military serves us all. and i want to hear your reaction to president trump's decision to pardon four american security guards who were involved in the now-infamous blackwater massacre. i mean, 17 unarmed iraqi civilians shot to death in 2007 including 9- and 11-year-old boys. i mean, this is egregious, is it not? >> it is. it is egregious, and it should not have happened. and it's going to have significant repercussions in iraq. people are already -- they're outraged about this. it shows that american justice doesn't really mean what we believe it means. we always take pride. we're the nation of laws. we do what's right. we would never kmcommit a war crime, and yet look at this

keep in mind shortly after the election the president chose to remove the defense secretary, mark esper, even though he was a lame duck president and knew that the new defense secretary would only have a couple of months to serve. trump made the change nonetheless. so certainly he could remove barr, but we'll have to see. >> katey, you remember when barr was named all of our counsel television lawyers said he's a straightforward guy, he's an institutionalist. and then when barr named durham, the connecticut based u.s. attorney everyone said of durham he's a straightforward guy, he's an institutionalist, certainly looks the part. what do you make of barr continuing to wall off the durham investigation absent any evidence that we've seen that there is a there there? >> sure. i'll start with durham first. i do think he is a respected prosecutor, he hasn't made any moves to reveal -- to make the sort of announcement that would have made trump happy. we know there was discontent on his team and push back. we don't know what he'll actually say after january 20th as special counsel. barr himse

just great extent purged his cabinet of those who have showed dissent, like former defense secretary esper, the -- at the department of justice, bill barr, recently left after falling out with the president. so this is really the one friendly group the president has left. his cabinet, with people like ben carson and betsy devos who have been with him all along and have certainly not at least been outspoken in breaking with the president in any way. >> right. well, there is one member of the cabinet now that might have had an awkward interaction with the president, and that's elaine chao. we saw evidence that the president wasn't happy with what mcconnell said. >> reporter: within the white house, so many people have either left or have just been keeping their head down. we're not seeing really any of the surrogates other than press secretary kayleigh mcenany come out and be defending the president on these issues of election fraud. so, yes, not only is he alone in congress, and, of course, publicly his cabinet members aren't defending him, but when you look at the surrogates within the whi

trump decapitated the civilian leadership at the department of defense -- he fired mark esper, who actuallyely well qualified, and his other senior people were very competent, and he put in there chris miller, who's a great combat officer, completely unqualified to be the secretary of defense, and he saddled him with four squirrely lads. i don't think chris miller's in any way directing department of defense policy. i think it's coming out of the white house. it's this group of people. now, to some extent, they're just hiding incompetence from four years of the trump administration. but there's a lot of money over there, and there's a lot of chicanery going on. so we ought to be concerned about it. we don't need to worry about a coup. if they call for a coup, nobody will come. we don't need to worry about the day-to-day management of the armed forces. the joint chiefs of staff, 25,000 people working in the pentagon, that's going to work. we do need to be very concerned about the next 30 days. >> yeah, i take both of those -- i agree with both of them, rebecca, and part of this is about how

certain ways they probably have misrepresented the secretary of defense -- former secretary of defense espered the amount of support i was receiving. at no point did any senior leader, civilian or military, attempt to contact me and, you know, indicate that i was still in good standing in the military. certainly after i left the white house, i had no contact with anybody that could have indicated >> it is really disappointing to hear because you and i both have small children came to this country as refugees. you testified that your dad should not worry about you telling the truth because "hear a right matters." you have president trump and members of congress questioning your loyalty after coming forward. marsha blackburn tweeted vindman as an american patriot. america's greatest enemy. she's not alone. other members of congress did the same. trump may be leading but those lawmakers are still in office. what is your message to other immigrants who may want to serve this country in some form of capacity and look at that and say you were right and you were punished for doing the right thing a

certainly he has shown with mark esper the defense secretary a willingness to can people who he thinksust going to have to wait and see. we saw from the president's 46-minute video yesterday he is not all there emotionally and psychologically so we just don't know what he's capable of. >> and he's lying. he's lying from the white house itself. all right. a source telling cnn to expect a, quote, flurry of pardons before president trump leaves office. who in addition to the president himself are on this list do we expect? >> reporter: well, in addition to the president, in addition to his adult children who are also -- have some legal exposure, donald trump jr., for example, was caught up in the russia investigation because he initiated that -- if it's what you say, i love it -- meeting with russian representatives, but you've got people like paul manafort who was his campaign chairman who knows things, who declined to provide full cooperation to robert mueller, he may be protecting the president, roger stone is someone who's sentence has been commuted, now that mike flynn got a pardon h

between the departure of this cabinet secretary and other cabinet secretaries we've seen like mark esper who was, essentially, forced out when the president lost this election. and so, yes, no question about it, jake. this is a big move the president is seeing take place while he's spending these last few weeks in office, but they're trying to make the case over here, jake, because we've seen this so many times before that in this instance, bill barr was not fired by the president. jake? >> jim acosta, thanks so much. wolf? >> let's not forget one thing. the attorney general of the united states not only said that the justice department investigated these allegations of widespread fraud and found no evidence of widespread fraud but the department of homeland security, he said, investigated the fbi investigated and they, too, found no evidence of widespread fraud. this is a major moment we're watching all of this breaking news unfolding within minutes. >> clearly the president is trying to change the subject. so, let's actually not. let's go back to the other big story, which is the new p

again in 2024 and i can only imagine how stupid his hats will be that time defense secretary mark esperhich was 75 million fewer people than trump was fired by housing secretary dr. ben carson has reportedly tested positive for the coronavirus. his family became concerned when he began to experience fatigue for 50 years that's right dr. ben carson has reportedly tested positive for the coronavirus. come on, man how hard is it to figure out how to wear a mask it's not brain surgery which i'm beginning to think is, like, pretty freaking easy democratic senator joe manchin said in an interview yesterday that progressives, quote, "scared the be-jesus out of voters." well, just the voters who still say "be-jesus. which i think is mostly white men over 70 who put their pants on one shoulder at a time. eric trump this morning tweeted, "minnesota, get out and vote." he tweeted that today. well, i mean, it is a good time to vote. lines are super short. you know, i always knew eric was slow but it's nice to know exactly how slow he's one week slow a message that was lost by a german military carr

of quiet consternation the changes at the top levels of the pentagon since the election, since mark esperired as defense secretary just after the election. i spoke with a number of experts and a couple of them suggested that i talk to you to try to get your take on what you think this might mean or whether you see any sort of rhyme to this reason in terms of what might be behind these changes. >> yeah, i think when we see this many removals, it's one of three things, right? one, you can always wonder if there's gross negligence, if there's a problem with all these folks. i don't believe that's the issue. but that's always a reason why people get fired all at once. number two, you're trying to clear the obstacles that maybe those folks didn't want you to do and argued against. and number three is pure pettiness, right? people stood in the way of the president and on his way out the door he was going to make the point that if you weren't loyal to him or supportive of him, he was going to get rid of you and put in people who were. a lot of arrows point to the last one, pettiness. but we do h

but the secretary of defense is an acting position right now, because the president fired mark esper just a few weeks ago. and the president is meeting today with the current acting head of the department of defense. but even within the white house, a number of key positions, the head of communications, the communications director, she has left. that position is open. so it's getting to the point where you have a skeletal staff managing all of these issues or a temporary staff, as not only, we deal with the pandemic, but of course, this new crisis that we're dealing with. >> so, have they even -- has there been any briefing set up, sometimes, you know, shannon, they'll -- instead of doing a public briefing, they might do a conference call with reporters? it might be a senior battleground official. has there even been anything like that on the house? >> i can tell you from our reporting, and what has been going on with myself and my colleagues and what our reporting indicates is, no, this is not an issue that the white house is trying to message through the media in any way, is trying

to your first point, anderson, you know, the president also fired mark esper the monday after the electionhe fired chris krebs, his cybersecurity director. you know, he's fired more than a dozen people across the government and agency since november 3rd. you know, there is a time between now and january 20th where folks expect even more firings because he has nothing to lose and he's frustrated -- but in his mind, has not always worked to his satisfaction. >> what has the president's relationship with barr been like, over the last couple months? >> well, over the last couple of months, it's been quite tenuous. i mean, the president has wanted barr to make more forceful claims of voter fraud. to back up his accusations on that. he's wanted barr to put out, you know, the durham report. he's wanted, throughout, attorney general barr to say more, without evidence, widespread voter fraud. and doj, much to the president's chagrin, has not been on the president's side on a lot of this. there are a lot of folks who would say bill barr's been one of his most loyal cabinet secretaries. obviously, af

the last person i remember him doing it was with the defense secretary mark esper who, of course, was fired a week after the election. so today the president had that long pause, i'm told that came after on tuesday the president and barr had a pretty contentious meeting here at the white house after barr's comments to the associated press completely undercutting the president's arguments you were showing earlier, his claims of fraud, after he said that wasn't true, that the doj had not uncovered any evidence of that. they had this contentious exchange. of course that's raised the question by the president's closest advisers about whether or not he's going to fire the attorney general with just seven weeks left to go, and they say the president is really hesitant to fire someone, anderson, in that realm, ever since the blowback he got from firing james comey. so it's not clear if he will, but he certainly wants to and certainly talked about doing so. >> fascinates. kaitlan collins, appreciate it. at the top of the program we played that sound president trump saying, quote, you saw the
