warnings for the united states and a veiled jab at president trump by his former defense secretary james mattisntagon correspondent barbara starr. barbara mattis speaking out right now, a brand-new book coming out eight months after leaving the trump administration >> that's right, wolf. good evening. if you thought jim mattis was going to stay silent, think again. tonight, the first news conference by a secretary of defense and chairman of the joint chiefs in a year. on the same day the last secretary of defense james mattis penned a dire warning in a preview of his upcoming book published in the "wall street journal" writing what concerns me most as a military man is not our external adversaries. it is our internal divisiveness. we are dividing into hostile tribes, cheering against each other fueled by emotion and a mutual disdain that jeopardizes our future. >> things can change. >> mattis never directly criticizes president trump. but cautions leaders must do more than launch verbal attacks. but at a private 2017 meeting with troops recorded only by cell phone, mattis did more than hint at

james mattis, a general with 44 years in the marine corps lasted just two years in the trump cabinet,resident. mattis is on a book tour right now and says he's holding off deeper criticism of the president while there are people in the administration still working to defend the country. barbara res joins us now. immaterial to talk to her. she worked for donald trump for 18 years, eventually becoming an executive vice president in the trump organization, and barbara, you heard me talk about james mattis as he's shedding light on his time in the trump administration. he said this in a new interview in the atlantic. quote, i had no choice but to leave. that's why my resignation letter is in the book. i want people to understand why i couldn't stay, and he goes on, i have been informed by four decades of experience, and i just couldn't connect the dots anymore. barbara, does that ring familiar, his reason for leaving. >> it rings very familiar, not only with my experiences but with things that we have heard from, you know, new experiences, people in the cabinet. >> how so? >> well, just,

the former defense secretary says the president's actions left him no choice but to quit, and james mattis didn't stop there. >>> we begin with our breaking news. hurricane dorian intensifying as it heads towards the u.s. mainland. florida is bracing for a direct hit. the storm now forecasted to make landfall as a category 4 hurricane and this could strengthen even more through the holiday weekend. chad myers is in the cnn weather center. what are you seeing there, chad? >> looks like 130 miles per hour is now where the national hurricane center has kind of settled on. we were 70, 80, 100, 110 and now we're at 130 miles per hour somewhere very close to the grand bahama island or nassau by sunday morning. by monday morning likely onshore or at least very close to being onshore in florida. there's a couple of caveats with this, we call it the cone of uncertainty. there is a chance because of the cone that this storm as it begins to turn and slow down could stop or slow down 30 miles sooner and we could still be in the cone and miss florida altogether. that's part of the cone's error process.

and we heard from former defense secretary james mattis today, who swiped at trump's leadership. the president also this evening tweeted about senator kirsten gillibrand ending her presidential campaign. he joked, "i'm glad they never found out that she was the one i was really afraid of." the president likely doesn't find anything funny in the new poll numbers that show him losing to all of the top democratic candidates nationally as well as in the critical state of michigan. and for the first time since 2016 more voters now say the economy is getting worse than better. also today we found out which democrats will make the cut for the next democratic debate. and it will be a one-night event this time. ten candidates on one stage all together. it will include the top three candidates at the top there, joe biden, bernie sanders, elizabeth warren there leading the polls. we're going to get to all of this tonight. our panelists standing by. but first we're going to get an update on hurricane dorian. and for that we turn to nbc news meteorologist michelle grossman. michelle, take it

i want to give you the last word here on james mattis. is this enough? if he disagrees with the president as much as he's hinting at, is it the type of thing he should make clear when he was in the pentagon or maybe name names now? >> this has been a long-standing issue. if you are on active duty you are not permitted to criticize the commander in chief. but he was the civilian secretary in defense. what we do know about him is he was very reluctant to say anything that the president or the white house at the time might perceive at criticism because he thought he would be side lined and in the end he was. so perhaps that's the most telling lesson of all. how do you speak up when you don't agree with the commander in chief? >> barbara, thank you very much for your reporting and insight. >> the other big story we're following is that people are in harms way because of tropical storm dorian which is expected to grow and strengthen into a hurricane, into a category 2 hurricane or above. >> as millions prepare to be affected by a hurricane the president seems

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 fact he believes that the president of the united states lacks the judgment, lacks the intelligence, lacks the integrity to make sound decisions and to perform his duties, then at some point he has an obligation to share that with the country. >> yeah. >> and jeffrey goldberg is pressing him on that and makes it very clear that he was frustrated that he couldn't get an answer. he is pressing him, if you do not believe that donald trump is not fit to be president, you need to share that before november 20 twe20. >> brutus was the great man. he was the one who brought down caesar who had become a tyrant. yet who looked good? he didn't look so good. if there is a duty to war

at the beginning when he was getting people like james mattis around him, and some others, they had a reason to believe. maybe this guy is going to end up being okay. of course, it's been just the opposite. so that presumption now works against donald trump obviously in these polls and now it's joe biden or elizabeth warren or whoever else that people may end up saying, boy, this is exhausting. i can't take this anymore. what do we have to lose? >> right. because right now, we know -- by now we know exactly what we have to lose by re-electing donald trump. being an incumbent is the classic double-edged sword. incumbents have various built-in advantages. on the other hand, incumbents have a record in office and we have seen donald trump. we have heard him. we have read him on twitter. day after exhausting day now for 2 1/2 years and it is -- people know that they don't want that anymore. i think a lot of people do, and so that's why that number has flipped so much. and it is -- you know, somebody said that he pulled an inside straight last time and he certainly did. that is very unlike

the op-ed penned by james mattis. former defense secretary.lism. he warns about the fallout from fractured alliances and divisiveness under the current administration. he is speeng out, why? >> he is speaking out against politics in our country today. no one represents politics in our country better than president trump. i voted for him. i probably will and i like his style and most policies. a four star general that led troops into war and honor, courage and commitment won't like that style or like a rally where you rip people up and get them on your side and pander to your base. when you take that same style in the foreign policy they'll be offended by it. when you tell someone i know we made this commitment and shook hands on this but it doesn't turn out the way i want it to and back out of it. in real estate it makes a lot of sense and maybe politics it does. in a military culture it doesn't work. is it helpful to undermine your strongest defense advisor? it goes back and forth. >> sandra: he suggested he left his post as the defense secre

mike barnicle, we were talking about james mattis, a guy who has served this country so ably and so wellebate -- there will be a debate -- who responsibility does he have? does he have a responsibility to be like anthony scaramucci -- i'm glad anthony is coming out and is saying what he's saying about donald trump. or at least be like bob gates, who wrote a very blunt assessment of his time in the obama administration. what do you think, does he have a responsibility to let america and the world know what he saw up close with donald trump? >> yeah, well, that's a very interesting question, joe. hopefully when he's here with us next week we will get to it, maybe get some solid answers from him on it. i kind of doubt it because unlike bob gates and certainly anthony scaramucci, jim mattis is different. when you're an officer in the united states marine corps or any branch of the services, an officer takes an oath. the oath is to support and defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies, foreign and domestic. and that's an oath of office that general mattis, general dunfo

conflict with the national security bureaucracy, including fbi director james comey, who trump fired soon after taking office, secretary mattis, andretar former cia director john brennan, who trump threatened to strip of his secret clearance after he repeatedly accused trump of treason along with the aforementioned mueller and his witchhunt of the administration. hostility towards these men surprised officials washington more than anyone. when president took to twitter to needle brennan for an intelligence briefing on the "o-called russian hacking suggesting more time was needed to build a case, chuck schumer took to msnbc to warn him. "let me tell you, you take on the intelligence committee, they have six ways from sunday of getting back at you." 2.5 years later and two months after the mueller report, trump remains unbound by washington's rules and democrats have no plan to bring him to heal be on hoping that mueller will testify on capitol hill. haveality, ways they proved incapable of doing themselves, which only underscores the question of who really rules washington, elected officials or washington bureaucrats? trump's
