you know, as jim mattis, again, colorfully said, you know: "give me a beer and a cigarette, and i'lle information than by waterboarding." it's not quite that simple, but to put it, i guess, more simply, it would be that you wanna become the detainee's best friend in detention. the interrogator does. and i say this having been the commander who oversaw the holding of more detainees in iraq than at any other time, 27,000 of them. so we have some experience with what works with detainees, and treating them humanely while still eliciting information from them is the way to go about it. and then the most in afghanistan as well. now, you had never before had people working for you directly who were killed in combat. now, this experience, had people work for you. yeah. yeah. what was that like to have the command of people who were dying? it's-- you know, it's... it's a chilling experience, actually, the first time. i remember the radio call when our first soldier was killed. and it takes the wind out of you. i remember hearing when a sister unit, the 3rd infantry division, which really spe

trying to find a diplomatic way out, and that's a view that has been echoed by defense secretary jim mattis. so i think in the region, leaders are going to be very eager to try and get from this trip some better sense of what where trump is trying to go, whether all the threats mean there really is a serious risk the u.s. may take preemptive military action, whether that's just bluster designed to exert pressure and if so, where if at all is there any room for diplomacy to try and find an exit ramp to the north korean nuclear issue. >> one last question, so japan certainly friendly territory for president trump, but moving forward to south korea, moving on to china, do you expect this president to see a bit more scrutiny with regards to getting clarity on these issues? >> well, there is no question that with prime minister abe the personal vibes and overall relationship are particularly warm. it won't be the same in south korea, the u.s. south korea alliance is crucial, but the south korean president moon jae-in has been in negotiations, he's been uncomfortable pushed by the circumstances i

and i think they look at people around the president like john kelly and certainly like jim mattis at the pentagon, and they believe that there is some restraint around the president if he does act impulsively. but for the most part, i have to say they've gotten to the point where about, you know, 11 months into this administration, they just don't believe he's going to follow through with the things that he often says and does. and they do discount a lot of his tweets and a lot of his public threats as mere bluster. >> hmm. what was it, the new word of the year i think was from merriam-webster was complicit. there's a good reason for that. jonathan, i want you to stand by because i want to bring in david now. david, after that "access hollywood" tape -- by the way, weren't you here that night? >> i was on with you that night. >> we kept waiting for the apology and the response from the white house. the president apologized. let's play it, and then we'll discuss about it. >> i've said and done things i regret. and the words released today on this more than a decade old video are one o

the trump administration and jim mattis have said over and over, there's no sign they're going to do that. >> you mentioned there are already many sanctions in place against north korea by the united states. what's different between the sanctions now or sanctions imposed over this? or is it more of a public declaration and less something they'll feel on the ground? >> kasie, is that to me? >> i'm sorry, kevin, go ahead. >> you're right. north korea has been sanctioned quite a lot. one thing that could be done more is the ability to stop or to fine banks from helping launder north korean money. the chinese would be the main target of that. the opposite has happened in places like iran where money was going through europe. the u.s. has sanctioned some of those banks. not so much so on the chinese side. again, north korea's support that people point to is not overt trade. it's not arms. it's the drug trade. it's the covert movement of goods that's been allowed to help, you know, fuel and fund the regime and i think there's some doubters whether this official move will really have an eco

where does jim mattis stand right now? the president has gone back and forth between diplomacy and not ruling anything out. if something happens what should we be prepared to see from the pentagon? >> secretary mattis has been pretty consistent that all u.s. military options are always on the table. this is a situation that needs to be handled diplomatically first. he brings up secretary of state rex tillerson's name when asked about north korea and efforts with president trump and the trip last month to the region. secretary mattis would be first to say that if there is a threat to homeland and u.s. allies in the region the u.s. military can and will respond. they have a very sturdy and robust presence in the pacific region. u.s. military ships, aircraft, tens of thousands of u.s. military in japan and south korea and guam. he is consistent about the fact that it is still a diplomatic problem that needs to be handled that way. >> what would it look like if there were to be evacuations of americans in south korea? i know w

number two, like an a jim mattis to figure out how to stand up to president trump and some of his most ideas and make gestures to work across the aisle. this political stalemate is not going to get us anywhere. supporting is murray alexander and that bill to improve the aca would be a good step. >> andy, you know a lot about medicare and medicaid. expansion was the part that really matters a lot. he supports converting medicaid from an entitlement program that goes to anyone who is eligible into block grants to states. you're really good at this. can you tell us what that means? >> well, sure. i think converting medicaid to a block grant is ending the 50-year-old commitment we have to provide care for low income people for seniors for people living with disabilities and cap our responsibility. it's not a good idea. i think we have seen that most recently in the only block grant we have in this country right now is in puerto rico. and that is proving to be an enormous challenge. this is not a policy area that i think makes sense. i hope he gets grilled on that extensively at his senate

in any case, jim mattis is there and he's not going to execute an order that he thinks is either illegalt's good, but -- so i don't actually think that's the greatest threat from donald trump, but it is worth taking a fresh look. one thing one should look at also is congress' role here, congress in general in war fighting, right? congress could do more to authorize the fights we're fighting. >> they abdicate that a lot. >> right. >> they don't want the responsibility. >> i would say obviously if we're going -- i don't think we'll have to use nuclear weapons anywhere, but if there were a moment we would have to, congress should have a debate about whether we're going to have to use force and what country we would use nuclear weapons against. >> are you reassured by the presence of the so-called generals, mattis, masters, kelly? you're not? >> i am not reassured. general kelly has showed us in times he will buckle under the trump pressure and go along to get along for this president. that's why i believe that congress is very important. a lot of folks forget that congress is a co-equal bra
