and back in jonestown, jim jones is calling for a revolutionary suicide where we're all going to kill >> i first flew into jonestown last evening around sunset. there was absolute silence. nothing living was around. jonestown last evening was a city of the dead. >> they found tremendous quantities of potassium cyanide poison. it had been mixed with kool-aid. it killed quickly, within five minutes. >> we will never know how many people voluntarily drank the poison. but other people were either coerced, brainwashed, or took it against their will. they were murdered. >> i was lifted into this medevac plane, and i was so grateful. >> good evening. the searching american soldiers have finished counting the bodies in jonestown, guyana. 910 died in the poison ritual of the people's temple last week. >> this was americans killing other americans and themselves. in its own interests for its own well-being, this nation will have to find out why. what are you doing back there, junior? since we're obviously lost, i'm rescheduling my xfinity customer service appointment. ah, relax. i got this. whi

>> sadly it is almost a cult worthy of jonestown. that's kind of language, that's where it comes from. it's almost beyond belief. it's reminiscent of course of that surreal meeting in the cabinet room way back when when priebus was the chief of staff and they competed to see who could be more obsequious than the other. i don't care if it's jim baker or leon panetta or mick mulvaney. as gloria says, no chief of staff can really function if the president doesn't want a chief of staff to tell him hard truths. it just can't work. >> so none of those -- he just -- you can't contain him because of who he is? is that what you're saying? >> i wrote the book on the white house chiefs and the subtitle was how the white house chiefs define every presidency, except this one. i was wrong about this one because this is a president who is determined to be unleashed, who doesn't take advice and we've now seen the results of letting trump be trump. >> wow. go ahead, gloria. >> and worse than that, chris, is that i don't think he know when is he needs

this is a cult worthy of jonestown. we have known for a long time exactly who donald trump is. donald trump is incapable of seeing any difference between his own personal interests and the country's interests. what we learned yesterday is that mulvaney and the enablers are on the same page. there's no defense for what has happened here. and so they want us to think this is normal. get over it. well, let me tell you. there is nothing normal about this. it's reminiscent of contra when you think about a rogue foreign policy. but the difference there was that trading arms for hostages is almost noble compared to trading arms for personal dirt on your opponent. so here's where we are with a white house full of enablers and a president who has committed impeachable offenses right and left. >> well, i think what's clear and a lot of questions have been raised about this. that all the norms have gone outt out the window. there is a great analysis in "the new york times" about how the president has redefined what it means to be presidential. in fact, last night, he mocked being presiden
