roberta jacobson is here as well, a veteran diplomat who resigned from the state department a year and half ago, thank you for being with us. this refusal by mike pompeo to defend the witnesses who have come from the state department after so-called friendly subpoenas and being told by the state department not to testify. >> yes, i think this has been sort of the death blow to morale at the state department. this unwillingness to defend people who are career diplomats, people who are not radical unelected bureaucrats. they're public servants who have served, many of them, half a dozen presidents from different parties. and the leadership in this effort comes from the top. but i have to say they've been brave, and they've been forthright, at least in the public statements that we've seen, the opening statements. they're not political animals at all. >> i also wanted to ask you about ukraine and syria and just the whole devolution of policy and how it's been practiced by the president. >> obviously i saw that up close in the case of mexico early in the administration when that was handed

with emmy jacobson on the history of the cia. >> what i learned in looking through jfk's archive was that the pigs impacted the president so greatly, he was humiliated in his first 100 days as president. after having won the election on a very specific position that communism must be defeated. in cuba and vietnam read the top of his target list. and to have that failure at the bay infuriated president kennedy. and he did something which in my opinion has not been looked at or reported before. what he did was he switched the authority of the covert operations from the cia working under title 50 to the defense department working under title ten and it got very messy in terms of the paramilitary operations that were happening in the very early days of vietnam. this is long before war was declared by president trump. and that was very interesting from a historical point of view because you see the same thing today or i should say do you see that same thing today. i let readers decide or try to let readers decide and it come to their own conclusions about bigger sweeping issues that affec

balance civil liberties with civic accountability, and that the powers that we have date back to jacobson versus massachusetts and small poks. and since that time it's been clear that the needs and the urgency of the broader community really super seed that of the individual in certain cases when there's a risk to human life. so i wouldn't necessarily characterize it as coercive. i think it's part of our responsibility as public health authorities to make that sort of judgment on an ongoing basis, balancing, as i said, civil liberties and civil accountability. >> and finally, it's that interaction between public health and our practicing physicians and practitioners that's so important, because when the child can't go to school because they don't have their vaccines, they come to me and we start to talk about what it is you should be doing and what are our fears and what can we do to make you feel comfortable with this whole process. so that's the interaction between our practitioners and our public health system that's so important. >> thank you. i think that's a great note to end on. th

"cbs this morning saturday's" co-host dana jacobson is here.a, this is putting a cloud over the series. >> anthony, at the very least, you could say that the astros are in damage control mode. the comments you mentioned happened in houston's clubhouse after they clinched the american league pennant over the weekend. assistant gm brandon taubman is accused of turning to three female reporters, then launching into a gratuitous celebration of a controversial player who the astros had initially been criticized for acquiring after he'd been accused of domestic violence. >> the world series -- >> yeah! >> reporter: this was the setting in which brandon taubman's explosive comments took place.
