joining me is john dean, white house counsel under president nixon from 1970 to 1973. mr. ow do you understand donald trump in relation to your former boss richard nixon? >> well, i've thought about that a lot, in fact, a lot more than i really wish i had, as i said to mckay who wrote the piece for the "atlantic." he's given me nightmares and i didn't have nightmares when i worked at the nixon white house. it's unusual. anyway, the way i see the problem is that everything nixon was in secret and we wouldn't even know about if we didn't have the tapes that he kept a record of everything he did and a number of his private offices and on his telephone calls so we wouldn't know that nixon because he never really showed that nixon publicly whereas trump is out in front. he doesn't try to hide this very -- his revenge, his dark thinking, his thinking out loud when he should be thinking things through before he makes a statement he's just out there. that's what's given me problems. i know the sensitivity of the job, even a person who's experienced in washington -- which trump is n

there's terror and evil throughout the world. >> i want to say that john dean is neither part of theia, nor is he a political pundit. but go on. >> everybody's got their own opinion, but the vast majority of americans realize there are tough times around the world. they come to our shores more than any time in history. and president trump is doing exactly what he said when he ran for president, and he's delivering on those promises. he wants to keep this country safe. he believes in this country. he's saying, wait a minute, give us a few minutes, this is a protective pause, it isn't permanent, but let's step back and look at this and see what we can do to fix the situation. because we don't want people coming in that may want to harm our citizens in this country. >> juliette, are we safer now than we were friday before this executive order went out? >> oh, no. and in fact, we probably enraged many people that were helping us in the fight against terrorism. can i say some narrative that's going on out here that somehow people not in middle america don't love their children too. i have

another one is joining me right now, john dean is the former white house counsel to president richardnd author of "conservatives without conscience" which i highly recommend you read with trump coming into office. john, thanks for being here. always great to talk to you. >> good morning. >> before i get to the ethics challenge of donald trump, i want to get you to button up the conversation we were just having with my previous panel, because you wrote what could only be described as a pretty scathing article about media coverage of donald trump, which i 100% agreed with every word of, even though i'm in the media. what do you think that the media is missing when it comes to covering somebody as asymmetrically different an donald trump? >> one of the things that's most striking to me is they can't stay on a story very long. we watched during the campaign when issues would arise one day only to disappear from the front page the next day when the follow-up stories were often of front page quality. so there's the consistency issue. another is they're not probing very deeply. they're not t

joining me from los angeles john dean. john, there is literally nobody in the world who is better to talk about this than you at the moment at the very least. >> thank you katey. >> do you feel like the democrats are posturing here, using this to their advantage? can you say that this is anything like what happened back in 1973? >> well, as you made clear it really isn't the same. it's very nixonian in style but not an exact parallel in situations. so there is something to draw on. in fact, the whole rollout has been so bungled, which is very contrary to richard nixon who had a very smooth running white house from day one. so there is a big difference there. but what is -- what is nixonian is the press release they issued at the time that they fired mrs. yates. it was -- i have not seen such a nasty press release. they talk about her betraying the department of justice. they talk about her being weak on borders and weak on immigration. i mean it's a pretty nasty document. and you typically don't see that sort of thing come

you had the foresight to interview john dean. >> john dean was white house counsel under richard nixonkey figure in the watergate saga. he told me in the weeks leading up to the election, he was having nightmares about a trump presidency. the reason was, he said, two reasons, one, he sees in trump a lot of the same dangerous characteristics that mix and had. -- that nixon had. the of session with vengeance, the boundless ambition, certain paranoia. but he said he feels the institutions in american life that are meant to keep a presidential power in check have deteriorated since the nixon decade. the partisan nature of congress and even the courts. his argument was, trump be worse in the and in terms of corruption, but that he will probably get away with it. charlie: worse than nixon in terms of corruption. what kind of corruption? >> he points to his business entanglements and the alleged tied with russia. his argument is, any one of th ese scandals and waiting could blow up on him, and he still doesn't see a scenario where it is so bad he will be forced out of office. it is hard for h

don's john or dean's john. it was being called the great porta potty cover up on innaugzration 2017. some of the porta pots here had the name don, john. you can see the blue why was the name covered up here by the capitol. they didn't know why. they provided these porta pots and had been doing this for a long time. a company official told some of their workers to go ahead and peel off some of this tape. today we got an answer as to why this is happening. a spokesman for the architect of the capitol cotold nbc news the are in the process of covering or removing signage to bring them into compliance of advertising. our staff determined that the don's john's signs cannot and are being covered with tape. we saw tons of portable restrooms along the national mall by the wilson building. the signs were not covered over. apparently this sign advertising rule only johns that are here on the capitol ground. on capitol hill, i'm darcy spencer. >> hundreds of people got new things today. the d.c. tattoo expo is taking plac

did in "the atlantic," i think this is the scary part, where you had the foresight to interview john dean. >> white house counsel for richard nixon, key figure in the water gate saga. he told me in the weeks leading up to the election he was having nightmares about a trump presidency and the reason was because he said -- two reasons, one is that he sees in trump a lot of the same kind of dangerous characteristics that nixon had, the obsession with vengefulness, the kind of boundless ambition, certain sense of paranoia. but the other thing he said is he feels like the institutions in american life to keep the president's power in check deteriorated since water gate. think of the media environment, the partization of congress, even the courts. his argument was basically trump is going to be worse in nixon in terms of corruption but that he probably will get away with it. that's a provocative argument. >> rose: worse than nixon in terms of corruption but will get away with it. what kind of corruption? >> he points to his business entanglements and the alleged ties with russia, but his argume

if john dean had stood up much sooner than he did, this whole watergate episode could have been avoidedthe people are afraid to tell truth to power. i'm so proud to be part of the women's group that i is standing upup to him. amy: let's go back to 1973. this is how nbc's john chancellor broke the news of what became known as the saturday night massacre. >> good evening. the country is in the midst of what may be the most serious constitutional crisis in its history. the president has fired special watergate p prosecutor archibald cox because of the president's action, the attorney general has resigned. richardson has quiuit saying he cannot carry out mr. nixon's instructions. richardson's deputy has been fired. he refused, and a moment of constitutional drama, to obey a presidential orderer to fire the special watergate prosecututor. and half an hour after the special watergate prosecutor had been fired, agents of the fbi, acting at the direction of the white house, sealed off the offices of the special prosecutor, the offices of the attorney general, and the offices of the deputy attor

this kind of corruption is massive and far worse than even watergate and nixon white house counsel john dean said that. the presidency is not a profit-making enterprise for its occupants. it is a public office in the president's a public servant. this president does not seem to understand that concept. he is engaged in businesses all over the world and refused to divest from his businesses. as a result, he a serious conflicts of interest. from all of the foreign payments he is receiving, from foreign governments, and from the domestic payments from state governments and from the federal government that collide directly with the constitution. he swore an oath of office to protect and uphold the constitution. he is already violating it. this impeachment investigation must proceed. amy: it is interesting, john, in 2014, donald trump talked about the prospects for impeaching obama, tweeting -- response? >> maybe he was protecting what might happen if he became president. this is a president who does not obey the constitution. he defies the rule of law. no one in this country is above the rule of

three suspects, john ramsey, dean smith and kimberly a rn t were pulled over in june in the holland tunnel by port authority officer. the officer claims he pulled the car overdue to violations but defense lawyers claim that it was an unfair stop, and the officer did not read the suspects their rights. >>> well, it is a popular place to sit, hang out but in rittenhouse square today sitting in some places may get you in a bit of trouble this week philadelphia's park and recreations department put up new signs around rittenhouse square, they tell park visitors not to sit on the park's iconic walls. >>> the philadelphia parks and recreation department explained the new changes saying vandals and crime of been a big concern, and in a statement they say the move was in response to a recent up tic in vandalism on the historic railing that received one million-dollar in restoration work just a few years ago. furthermore walls were not originally design to be used for seating so this measure will further protect the structural integrity of these iconic park features. >>> well, from a room remodeled

he's now dean of the johns hopkins school of advanced international studies. >> i think president obamae to office with quite fundamental understandings in his mind about what's possible and what's not possible in the middle east. the first, i would say revolutionary breakthrough that he introduced, is that the middle east does not matter to american strategy as much as we think. >> reporter: that view colored the president's approach to making good on two campaign promises: ending the u.s. war in iraq, and investing more military resources to afghanistan, where the taliban was regaining ground. in afghanistan, the military reportedly wanted up to 80,000 more troops, on top of the tens of thousands already there, for an iraq-like counter-insurgency campaign. the president ordered a review of the entire approach. michele flournoy was the undersecretary for policy at the defense department. >> there was a tug-of-war between people who had very ambitious transformational goals in afghanistan, and those who argued for what was sort of a good-enough solution for afghanistan and for achieving
