. >> in the politic piece jeffrey goldberg wrote this, his aides and friends said found the photo bef limited cognitive ability and dubious character and mattis wouldn't go there himself in his conversations with goldberg. he's still quoted saying you don't endanger the country by attacking the commander-in-chief. i may not like the commander-in-chief one bit but our system puts the commander-in-chief in there. i want people to understand why i couldn't stay. i have been informed by four decades of experience and i just couldn't connect the dots any more. what do you infer from his remarks? >> reporter: well, look, when you are serving either in the military or as the defense secretary, you simply are not allowed to publicly disparage the commander-in-chief. we have seen many former secretary of defense and four star generals write books and after the fact be very critical. there's nothing new there. but there's something very different. there's a growing number of very top officials, some recently retired who are concerned that donald trump has brought politics into the ranks of the

. >> i'm joined by columnist michelle goldberg whose latest piece is "was trump as president, the world is spiraling into chaos," and juanita toliver. juanita, is the movement built on love? and what do you make of trump's predicament? >> the movement is based on lies. we saw that on full display in new hampshire where he honestly is working every single day to deflect attention from the fact that one, his recession is impending and two, the reality is, he and his trade war are exacerbating the situation. he didn't have to do any of that. he didn't have to escalate things with china, he didn't have the to change tariff programs hurting farmers and people every day in this country but he created an economic situation that's going to be exacerbating this upcoming recession and now his play is to lie and deflect. i don't think there's anything else to expect from him but that. as we get further noor 2020. >> and juanita, look at his numbers which are low. it's become sort of commonplace new politics to discuss the fact that his numbers don't move. they probably don't move much because they

he told reporter jeffrey goldberg, you don't endanger the country by attacking the elected commander in chief. i may not like the commander in chief one fricking bit, but our system puts the commander in chief there. and to further weaken him when we're up against real threats, we could be at war in the korean peninsula, every time they start launching something. however, there is a period i owe my silence. it is not eternal. it is not going to be forever. >> get in on this. genteel behavior, honest -- i worked for presidents and politicians. i represented they did something a little bit embarrassing, i wouldn't tell anybody. they committed a crime, i might have to. there is a hoylt question about somebody who makes you secretary of defense. >> and james mattis is not anthony scaramucci or omarosa. he has this code of honor, duty, country. the previous guests were absolutely right, though. at some point he has to make the choice whether or not his loyalty to the commander in chief and that military code overrides his loyalty and obligation to the country to say these things. if in fa

there's a great piece by michelle goldberg in the "new york times" today which tracks the conflicts andclear tests continue. there is the trade war with china, the clashes in hong kong and kashmir. russia plans to med until our next election. just had a failed nuclear test as it looks to beat u.s. defenses. isis researching in syria and the united kingdom still facing brexit now a few weeks away. new conflicts are not a new phenomenon. as another columnist points out, william galston who writes for "the wall street journal," president trump has consistently chosen to hush america's voice in the face of actions of other countries that undermillion democracy, human rights and the rule of law. he seems to believe that what governments do within their own borders is their own business. joining us is ambassador christopher hill and professor at the university of denver. let me ask you about this. william galston stalks tauks about president trump's doctrine of moral indifference. do you agree that we're seeing that in relief and as you look around the world. let's start with hong kong, how a

happened instead was that we allowed private industry to create and construct what has become a root goldbergtraption that exists to make money for big corporations like the ones i used to work for. the reason we have ever increasing prices in this country is because all the players are working symbiotically. insurance companies cannot control health care costs, nor do they want to. i left my job in 2008 as head of corporate munication's at cigna -- communications at cigna after a crisis. what i was doing was making it necessary for people to go without insurance or not being able to go to the doctor because of high deductibles. it has only gotten worse since then, even after the enactment of the affordable care act. the number of people without insurance is up and the number of people who are underinsured with health plans that are in adequate is skyrocketing. we are at a point in our history when we absolutely have to say, this is not working for anyone except big corporations and executives and shareholders. we need to do more than just tweak the affordable care act to get to a system that

michelle goldberg and an msnbc political analyst. jelani cobb, staff writer at "the new yorker" and professor of journalism at columbia university school of journalism. i guess i start with the ripple effects of what happened in el paso. i just have been really struck reading accounts in newspapers and on twitter and talking to people through other means that it's not just the 22 people who were killed or the dozens more who are injured, it's that it does send a message which was intended by the violence. >> absolutely. i'll tell you a story. i have a colleague. her name is sylvia. she is from chicago. her family is mexican-american several generations. her mother has to get her medication at walmart, and she told sylvia this morning that she was afraid to go to walmart. that is exactly what the person who shot 22 people in the walmart in el paso intended. that is exactly the kind of fear that president trump wants to send to our communities when he says this is an invasion. we will round them up. we will send them home. we will sepa

. >> so separate from this, former defense secretary spoke to jeff re-goldberg of the atlantic for ace that posted this morning. and what was most notable in your view about what he wouldn't say? he wouldn't elaborate on the president, per se. he did talk about a so-called duty of silence. but he also said, and let me quote now, he says there was a period in which i oh my silence. it's not er ternl. it's not going to be forever, end quote. so what point do you believe he will kind of break that silence? >> i don't know. only jim mattis knows whether and when he'll ever break his silence and talk more candidly. so it's a very personal decision when you're a cabinet official. when you leave office, about whether you're going to write a memoire or not. how canned it are you going to be about the administration you left? some are very candid and bob gates when he was secretary of defense wrote a candid memoire. i've worked for cabinet officials who choose to do it and i've worked for some who chose not to. one of them in fact a couple of years ago told me not only am i not going to write

there's certainly an ambience around goldberg's piece that gets to that. and a lot of people and i think john's point is well made. a lot of them in the military believe they have the sense of duty and need good people in government. it can't be the case you disagree with your boss, you resign. no one agrees 100% of the time. but at what point do you leave? mattis picked a specific point, but we should assume there were many points before that he didn't agree with the president. how long do you serve for and when do you leave? i think that's a version of what we're all trying to get at that perhaps general mattis would be helping the country if he discussed his philosophy on that might get to this. >> do you think he will, sarah? >> i think that we've seen about as much leg as we're going to see from general mattis. i hope we will hear more of his thoughts on service, but i don't think we'll hear a lot more on the president. >> easy with the leg showing references there with jim mattis. i don't know. it's a little early in the morning for that. >> he's a g

intimidating israel and then having this latest reversal by israel is really shown the world what michelle goldbergat president trump is playing jenga, you know the game where you pull the pieces of wood and then it becomes unstable and everything falls apart? except it's the world. and what it reflects, every single misstep if you look at north korea, if you look at hong kong, it is a lack of intellectual curiosity, someone who believes so strongly that he knows everything and unfortunately that man controls our department of defense. he's the commander in chief, and was the leader -- is the leader of the free world. i bet many of our allies are extremely concerned about what the president is doing. between the economic concerns and we haven't even talked about kashmir. what is going on around the planet should give all of us tremendous concern. >> go ahead. >> and the challenge is that it's affecting u.s. interests overseas. so clearly our ideals and the american brand and reputation vaeb degraded under donald trump but when we're looking at american interests in the middle east, you now have peo

i am reading a statement very quick from tate goldberg. i will read it exactly as she wrote it.e she's a homeowner, neighbor, approximately four houses removed on the same side of the street. i feel it is a long time, 56 years and a resident of san francisco, this call is misplaced and misperceived. she is and has been taking excellent care of her historic victorian cottage using good taste and good judgement, the building has only been improved by her stewardship. as it stands, the house represents the diversity and whimsy of much of san francisco. a disagreement has reached foolish levels of bureaucracy and minutia. the cottage is a gift to the block. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> hello. i am a retired preschool teacher and a friend of jan's. we have several things in common we walk our dogs and we have our houses. i remember when she was planning this painting job and how carefully and how dedicated she was to make it look beautiful. we commiserated about how many things we have to do with our old houses, and she did a fantastic job. i still walk by with my dog and
