mcmaster. today in an essay in "foreign affairs," general mcmaster writes about mccain, "he was zealous in his defense of democracy and his condemnation of autocracy." as we see the family arriving, cindy mccain, flanked on one side of course by senator mccain's son john, as well as jimmy. one formerly a marine, the other active duty navy, and the other members of the mccain family. and as they arrive, continuing with this very personal reflection from general mcmas r mcmaster. writing in "foreign affairs" today that he was zealous in his defense of democracy and his condemnation of autocracy, that mccain's passion sometimes gave rise to his famous temper, but the temper was always directed at those who threatened what he held dear, the liberty, freedom, and humaneness denied him for over half a decade in a prisoner of war camp. joining me now for his first television interview since leaving the white house, former national security adviser h.r. mcmaster, now a senior fellow at the hoover insti

restaurant in brighton proves that less waste doesn't have to mean less taste the own a drug list mcmasters works out a way to ensure nothing is thrown away in his kitchen so you won't see any bins at silo but there's plenty of great food. this is the sino restaurant in the southern british coastal resort of brighton it features naturally produced local cuisine but wait there's more silo is the u.k.'s first zero waste restaurant it turner and head chef doug mcmaster worked for years in gourmet restaurants and saw firsthand how much food is being wasted waste is a product of grading everything and putting stars on everyone the elite you know and that makes people obsessed with perfection perfection does not exist and waste exists largely because of this naive. chase for perfection you know throw it away because it's not perfect but it's brilliant what's wrong with brilliant. sino offers a diverse menu of high quality dishes and serves only organically produce meat and fish. all the other ingredients are all gummy because well fresh and seasonal must masterworks with local providers who deliv

all the other ingredients are old gammick as well fresh and seasonal mcmaster works with local providerswho deliver food that comes in recyclable containers instead of disposable packages so there's no garbage the menu changes every day depending on the projects available. if an item can't be delivered without packaging the team will just make it themselves like cram fresh. all flour the restaurant has its own mill. we can also buy big amounts of grains from local farmers. less packaging and a bigger amount which is with its delivery. they bake their own bread fresh every day. the restaurant also has its own composting machine to process food scraps afterwards the organic material is distributed to local farmers. to open a zero waste restaurant is very stressful it's very stressful because the industry is very. very industrialized there's lots of middlemen there's lots of processing and there's lots of packaging all of which are not zero waste and that goes against what we do. very difficult when the infrastructure is in place it becomes easy. zero waste has become a popular concept one

mcmaster.y first interview since leaving his role at the white house nbc's andrea mitchell asked the retired army officer about mccain's stance on the president's performance at the helsinki summit last month, and here's what he had to say. >> after the helsinki summit, when he calmled the president's one of the most disgraceful performances because he viewed being much too accommodating to vladimir putin. how did that strike you? >> what putin has been able to do is, he has been able to really operate in a way largely uncontested across the free world. not just in the united states, but in like-minded countries. so it's time to listen to john mccain and to confront this kind of sustained campaign of propaganda, disinformation and political subversion. >> wow. eugene robinson, a sustained campaign of propaganda, that is someone who worked on the inside, characterizing this president's approach. your take? >> yeah. right. a sustained campaign of propaganda in which president trump is at least co

mcmaster, he's gone and you have a president who feels more isolated, more empowered. he doesn't have the same resistance he was encountering in 2017, maybe that's part of the reason he's prepared to do the things he was not prepared to do in 2017. >> evelyn, to what degree -- to those of us very worried about the actions the president takes because of their effect on democracy and smooth functioning of our intelligence services, to what degree does the letter you signed and the letter you signed the other day, if congress isn't dealing with this and courts aren't dealing with this, is the pushback from the loh community going to have an effect? >> i think it can. -- the law enforcement community -- >> leave me aside, i'm atypical because other people who signed that document, we are more political. many people who signed are former intelligence officers and admiral mccraven, a former navy seal, i doubt voted for lots of democrats in his life. i don't know, i can't say. >> he was the one that led the navy seal mission to get osama bin laden. >> exactly. he signed an op

mcmaster, of course, left the job in april. you see that trump in more recent months has been more willing to act in ways he wa apparently unprepared to act back in 2017. >> explore that a little. that may apply to the security clearances, may apply to comments about the federal reserve yesterday. may apply to his comment that he can take over the mueller investigation. what do you mean by that? are you saying because the president has gotten rid of his sort of legacy, more establishment advisers and now is surrounded by loyalists and some might say sycophants nobody is holding him back? >> yeah. i think the, what we saw in 2017 was the president came to office, and thought he was going to maybe be able to do things more quickly than in reality. for example, he was going to declare the u.s. embassy in israel, he was going to move it to jerusalem on the first day. was go to include it initially in his state of the union address, but the intelligence community prevailed on him and presented arguments to him that doing so so quick

mcmaster, the national security adviser at the time signed a memo which granted all of them their securityrances. decided not to take them away. and trump at the time was really going after obama. he was accusing him of tapping, if we recall, the trump tower, of course, which was false claim. and he sent one tweet in which he called obama sick. and so, advisers around trump were -- some of them were concerned that he would do it, some of them advocated that they should retaliate in some way. former presidents are given access to briefings, so when they travel overseas and meet with foreign leaders, they kind of have a better sense of environment and have a better sense of how to respond to those foreign leaders. and so, there was a discussion with trump in which he was explained the value of continuing to provide these intelligence briefings and effectively adding obama to the list of former presidents that get them and trump agreed with mcmaster. he didn't not pull the trigger on this as some of his aides had hoped he would. >> now, this is in this article in the context of you trying to

and, you know, i wish we had seen more of that, mcmaster, while he was in office.about the reaction that mccain is getting, it's inspiring in that it shows the difference that one individual can make if they are willing an the hunger that you can get for that and the hunger that there is in the country. i wish i could believe that would turn republican senators around. i think it's too late for that. they're too worried about their own primaries. but it should be inspiring for the american people to see one leader can make that kind of -- that can make that kind of change. i hope that as we start looking towards 2020 you see somebody like that emerge on the democratic side. >> it is a commentary on our paolitics that republican voter have chosen donald trump over what john mccain represented. at least right now, think about this, that overwhelmingly republican primary voters think that donald trump is what they're looking for in a leader, not what john mccain represented. >> they didn't choose arpaio or kelli ward but that's because they both cancelled each other o

one was the international republican institute and on the board isjohn mccain, mitt romney and mcmasteromney were critical of trump's press conference with putin in helsinki. hr mcmaster has been critical of russia and has put forward his views russia should be confronted worldwide. the hudson institute has denounced actions by russia. a message from moscow they will go after anyone critical of president putin. listening to what was just president putin. listening to what wasjust said president putin. listening to what was just said and the measures the us senate is trying to take to stop russia, do you see president trump prepared to take tough action? he seems to say one thing on russia and do another because he has been pretty tough but he is saying maybe the russians did not do it. his government does one thing and he says another. there are two trump administration policies on russia, one is the president and what he says the other is tough measures. in many ways this government has been tough on russia than the 0bama administration was but nonetheless, he runs the government and i

this is mcmaster university in canada, and they have found eating three portions of dairy and one portionsored this? was at the cheese and meat industry that sponsored this? this was independent scientific research. a lot of this stuff is sponsored. so we can all have cheeseburgers, presumably. stuff is sponsored. so we can all have cheeseburgers, presumablym you combine this with a long holiday, if you take a long holiday in switzerland, you can have cheese and meat in the fondue. so a holiday in switzerland with all the food on offer and we will live forever. when we talk about portions, i am confused by that. i didn't know until we read this that we are only supposed to be, according to the nhs, eating two small slices of cheese and wine yoghurt a day.“ that living? —— one yoghurt. the nhs, the british government, all governments, should stop being prescriptive about what you do, because it just makes prescriptive about what you do, because itjust makes you completely confused. and if you are told you can have two small slices of cheese without showing what it looks like, what we shoul

his then secretary of state rex tillerson and then head of nasa security at the white house john mcmaster both of them of since left the administration the administration of the donald trump and the government of honduras have not had warm relations to say the least the government here in washington denounced the election reelection of the president to do or to a second term earlier this year as a fraud and a sham but also has indicated he's open and willing to open some kind of dialogue with the united states but that does seem unlikely at this point and also just. you'll all remember of course president trump's travel ban which mainly targeted majority muslim nations around the world well that travel ban now also includes top officials from venezuela who are prohibited from traveling to the united states so i see relations between this south american nation and the united states thank you very much. if you defense minister is promising to take all necessary measures to restore order in its eastern somali region on saturday government troops fought with paramilitary soldiers loyal to the

state rex tillerson who has now departed the administration and then national security adviser john mcmaster who has also departed and been replaced by by mr bolton who we heard from a moment ago and also worth noting that the vice president. mr pence vice president mike pence. said that the elections that were held earlier this year in which the door won a second term in office were illegitimate so there's certainly a lot of rhetorical bad blood between the two countries and there was a suggestion again in the white house from the very top that there might be a reason to invade the country but there has been no invasion and as of now there is no hard proof of any u.s. involvement in this incident thank you very much. he and his defense ministry is promising to take all necessary measures to his two older and its eastern somali region on saturday government troops forward with permanent. local to the regional government no institutional government mobs have looted shops and bent down buildings. in the capital at least four times and most have been affected by violence. eastern somali provinc

mcmaster stopped it. what is the reason former administration staffers get keep their clearance?ear these were staffers who were essentially held over, staying in some of their jobs as directors, possibly senior directors. and in that case, that's for continuity of government. so you have people that know what's going on internationally. it's also possible some of the people were senior officials, like we've been talking about with former cia directors. that you might bring people back in for consultations. you can give them information on a spot on base but it's much more efficiently to have those conversations more easily. >> the president told roeuter's he hasn't give an lot of thought of revoking robert mueller's security clearance. >> i can't fathom that would be something that we would actually see happen. it seems there would be no clearer way to obstruct justice than to obstruct justice which would be what you were doing if you tried to pull robert mueller's ability to do classified intelligence as part of a classified counterintelligence investigation -- >> how many time

mcmaster and mitt romney. and when you look at the other names of the six different internet domains, three contain the word senate so it looked like these russian hackers from the hacker group fancy bear which is tied to russian military intelligence. we have to remind our viewers that claire mccaskell of missouri was the target of an attack found out by microsoft. microsoft in this statement. mccaskell said we are concerned by the continued activity targeting these and other sites toward elected officials, politicians, political groups and think tanks across the political spectrum in the united states. taken together this pattern mirrors the type of activity we spau saw in the 2016 election in the united states and the 2017 election in france. so microsoft stepping up their game helping out with election meddling and the federal agencies who need the help they can get ahead of these mid-term s. i want to read a remarkable statement. they say in part from the u.s. we hear that there was not any meddling in th

mcmaster, the security advisor who tried to stand up on some issues, and now don mcgahn the lawyer, i'veriticized him lot for commenting on trump much more than a white house counsel should, and it's worth reporting he stepped in and mcgahn was going -- he either was going to leave it looked like in october once kavanaugh got confirmed it was going to be his victory lap for mcgahn. now trump wants to take credit for pushing him out. and now he's announced that mcgahn is going. so all the people who had some independent standing, some ability to say that, look, mr. president, you're right of course it's unjust and terrible but let me explain to you the way washington works, the way the government works, you can't quite do this. it seems they're going one by one. it seems he's got untrammeled trump here, people like rudy giuliani happily going on with attacks on the fbi, the justice department and so forth. >> a team of rivals this is not, but it is by design, bill, the president did at some point surround himself with people who might speak independently and he has by choice eliminated th

mcmaster, the national security advis adviser, you are out of here. it's not that see you later charlie kind of moment. don mcgahn has telegraphed to many people, including reporters that he planned to go in the fall that kavanaugh's confirmation was sort of the crown that he hoped to finish off. >> that would be the ending of his moment as white house counsel. however, it's just an indigerrous way to say good-bye to somebody. the president likes to do this manner to squeeze off exits or entrances. that's the opportunity he sees today. >> carol, you and your colleagues reported last night that the president has privately revived the idea of firing the attorney general. do we see any connection between what's just happened with don mcgahn with the hollowing out of the white house office all the of the deputies leaving or left. is there any connection there with the potential firing of the attorney general? obviously, that has big consequences for the russia investigation among a lot of other things. but don mcgahn has been described as somebody who has

mcmaster stopped it. what's the reason, what is the reason former administration staffers usually get to keep their clearances? >> in one case, and i think in the report it made clear that these were national security council staffers who were held over, staying in some of their jobs as directors, possibly even senior directors at the nsc. in that case, that's for continuity of government. you have some people who know what's going on on these various issues internationally. keeping those people on board with security clearances makes sense. it's also possible that some of the people were senior officials, like we've been talking about with former cia directors that you might bring people back in for consultations, can you always give them classified information on a spot basis, but it's much easier and much more efficient if they retain those security clearances so they can have those conversations more easily. >> president trump told reuters tonight that he hasn't given a lot of thought to revoking the

mcmaster had to step in. the president tweeted this "fake news, of which there is so much, this time the very tired new yorker falsely reported that i was going to take the extraordinary step of denying intel briefings to president obama, never discussed or thought of." i want to get the white house response to that as well. >> kellyanne: it's nothing that i've ever discussed with the president or that he's ever raised with me so i'm not aware of that at all. he's actually explaining it to the whole world. he has been very, very helpful. i think and very respectful of former president obama's access to intelligence information, as that may be necessary. i remember standing in many places during the transition and commending what we thought to be than a -- of the desire for a smooth transition between the outgoing administration and the incoming administration. i was invited to the white house by valerie jarrett, a very close aide who served all eight years to serve president obama. president obama himself had

he got rid of mcmaster and tillerson. he's trump unbound. this is like trying to put a straitjacket on the incredible hulk. you can do it for a minute when he's bruce banner. then he hulks out and donald trump is hulking out and he feels frustrated by aides who try to tell him what not to do. we're entering a dangerous phase right here where you lose the restraint of don mcgahn and you wonder will trump go out and fire jeff sessions, which is something he's itching to do. now he's being encouraged to do by some members of the senate. of course, a replacement could get rid of robert mueller. >> let's talk about this. lits drill down a little bit more on this, laura. was surprised by the news. he's tweeting. the president, the real donald trump. i hope it's not true mcgahn is leaving white house counsel. you can't let that happen. mitch mcconnell called it sad news for your country. when you get that, do you sense there's a fear among republicans if he leaves. >> i think there's a sincere fear of what is happening. let's go back more than 11 d

. >> you haven't mentioned gary cohen, or mark short, or mcmaster, none of these people have been ablede academia, and that's been difficult. >> a lot of people haven't left the white house yet because they haven't found jobs. that's why the white house is currently staffed. they're not filling any of these positions. so, i mean, zinky is under scandal, the new story about wilbur ross today and about grifting money, pruitt. everyone that comes into trump's orbit comes into scandal, whether it's because the spotlight is on him or that's the people he surrounds himself with. combination of both? >> birds of a feather. >> george, the numbness. i'm concerned -- yeah it's been going on, going on. we're at new totals of it going on. it was -- it was shoplifting in the '70s and '80s. this is grand theft. i don't mean to -- it feels like we -- it's like they got away with it for so long. they said, boy, we'll go all in. >> there is a point at which a difference of degree becomes a difference of kind. however, let me say this to my progressive friends. big, intrusive, administrative state, the

trump had for months complained that mcmaster's briefing style was irritating and would do impressionsts in staccato, his body puffing up and down as he spoke, the official said. he's making fun of his national security adviser as well. >> he so enamored the military -- >> he's not enamored with the military, he said john mccain's name yesterday, and then trashed him. >> he could have joined the military. >> to the point of his brand, it's all about the first responders and the military, and the tough guys who stand up for our country. >> he denigrates the fbi every single day. let's talk about the "n" word. it was interesting that sarah huckabee sanders couldn't deny that the president's never said the "n" word. let's listen. >> can you stand at the podium and guarantee the american people they'll never hear donald trump utter the "n" word on a recording in any context? >> i can't guarantee anything. but i can tell you that the president addressed this question directly. i can tell you i've never heard it. >> the president can't guarantee it either. he had a tweet that mark burnett ca

mcmaster. then when you look at the other sites that fancy bear set up, three of the names included the word senate, which meant -- which appears to mean that they were trying to go after certain senators, certain senate offices. it's not clear because microsoft did intervene in what looks like an early stage which senators they might have gone after. we do know last month, we heard that senator mccaskill of missouri, one of the most vulnerable democrats, was targeted also by russian military intelligence. we have not heard from the white house yet today. we have heard from the kremlin. of course, you can imagine they did come out denying any knowledge of this hacking group, of the hackers many it's . it says, from the u.s. we hear there was not any meddling in the elections. whom exactly they are talking about, what is the proof and on what grounds are they reaching such conclusions? think about that. they are saying from the u.s. we hear that there was not meddling in the elections. every lev

mcmaster had to talk the president out of the idea after some white house officials pushed for it inesident called that report fake news on twitter, saying he never thought of restricting obama's access. joining us is the undersecretary of treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence, which means a lot of sanctions back in your day. thank you very much, david. let's talk about these security clearances. is there any precedent at all for withdrawing a former president's clearance? >> so far as i know, it's never been done before. the tradition is former presidents get briefed when and as they request on current issues in part so when they meet with foreign leaders, they can be aware of the -- sort of what's happening in the world and can help to -- you know, to move along the issues the current administration cares about. it's always been something that has been done. >> in fact that is the same rationale for the more recent continuation of clearances for former cia and deputy cia. do you still have your clearance? >> i do. >> and you signed that letter? >> i did sign that letter

at that time i was flying apache attack helicopters, i was a troop commander under hr mcmaster.en we worked flying missions, we would daydream about being in the outdoor industry and we would reminisce about hunting stories that we had been on and we lived vicariously through magazines and dvds and all these things that we had missed since the war on terror started. there's a lot of hunting seasons that were missed and a lot of opening days like your november 15th that were missed. the idea for cryptic was to take some of the technologies that have been advanced in apparel and specifically special operations apparel, and spiral it into the civilian hunting market. i wrote a 25 page business model and we went on about our day but i have this business model and it ended up landing at the headquarters of cabela and to this day i still don't know how it got there. it landed on the table of the big game hunting ground manager and he called me up out of the blue and said, we'd really like to talk to you, we absolutely love this technical hunting crossover that you have, we know that d

mcmaster. i've spoken with jim mattis and mike pompeo about that. we've agreed that what we can do on the meeting on thursday is look at the broad range of issues that might be open for discussion between washington and moscow and try and plan it out in a systemic way. i'll go back and report to the president and my colleagues in the national security council and we'll see what comes of the meeting and what the best way ahead is. >> since the putin meeting, president trump has directed you and the rest of the national security team to make election meddling a priority. we have clear evidence in the 2018 election that russia is still trying to interfere. if russia, as they tend to do, keeps denying they interfered, how do you have a productive conversation about that? >> well, i'm sure we'll have a discussion about it on thursday. i had a discussion about it myself with president putin when i went to moscow originally to prepare the groundwork for his meeting with president trump. president trump raised it with president putin. you keep raising it an

there are two new studies from the university of liverpool and mcmaster university among others.e who abruptly started sitting more. this caused their blood sugar levels to rise, insulin sensitivity to decrease and weight to increase. the undesirable metabolic changes did not fully reverse. our dr. david agus is here this morning. you might have seen him dancing in the green room. >> we noticed. >> although i can't get the image of anthony in that massage chair out of my mind. >> i can't either. it's soothing. >> does age factor into whether you bounce back? after you have an exercise break? i feel like we all take a break because of work, illness, something. >> no question about it. in older studies it shows college students who it was done on without go from 10,000 to 1,000 steps and you saw all the changes happening in the body. insulin insensitivity, metabolic changes, and in two to three days, they would go back to where they were. but in this city over the age of 65. they didn't. they were still where they were when they were sedentary. so age does matter. >> as you get old

mcmaster, hope hicks, a bunch of people leaving, but not many leaks these days.art: that's true. certainly not very damaging leaks like the early days of the administration. catastrophic it was. stays through 2020. >>> president trump in florida yesterday, as we've been reporting, my hen y'alls don't want construction jobs. ed lazar, former white house economic adviser writing in "the wall street journal," send out your young, your educated. he's talking about immigrants, skilled immigrants. come on in, michael bellman, associated builders and contractors ceo. there's a shortage of construction workers. millennials don't want the jobs. why not bring in more immigrants? >> stuart, i think that's a great question. we've got a significant work force shortage. we're at all-time highs, over half a million work, job opportunities in our industry. yes, we've brought on about 300,000 over the last 12 months, but when you think about the millennials, if you take out vo-tech training, education, shop class and you give only college promotional materials to the guidance cou

mcmaster wanted a large footprint.peatedly tried to pitch the president on doubling down he is an officer and that is his background, and the president was not interested in doubling down so with john bolton on board, that doubling down with a physical presence is not going to be what we see coming out. host: none of the things that came out of the recent interview on sunday and then eric prince, this idea of privatizing and afghanistan. how much would you support that? guest: i know eric and i consider him a friend. i am not a fan. i served in the british military reserves. when it comes to issues of national security that are strategic, i do not want civilians and the train of command. it is -- if it is about steel on target, i want people that are in a uniform that are under the strictures of our military train of command. contractorsusing has been very popular but in many cases, together around congressionally mandated figures, i do not think that is the answer. he is a patriot, former seal, but if it is a military

brian: that is instinct trump pause you know mcmaster and till tillerson, said not do the tariff thingnes with the china trade, the iran deal, the worst deal ever. he is sticking to his guns trying to rebalance that. there are big issues where the american people say, you know what? broad strokes this president is moving the country in the right direction, allies who have been reluctant to go along with some of these things like pulling back on the iran deal, they see the president as resolute, they're adjusting to the new normal. brian: for people in in the midt in particular, stereotype fits, they're not used to the stormy daniel conversation, they don't want to hear about omarosa. if you're a candidate winning over suburban moms, they start bringing up questions about omarosa and president's tweets about them, what do you say? how do you handle that if you're the candidate? >> if you're the candidate, look, this president is putting forward the strongest judicial nominees we've seen in a generation in the least. brian: change the subject. >> it's a relevant subject because the supre

mcmaster now gone. so that's very interesting.ene, i do get a sense that this is a bit like what elyse just said. donald trump is frustrated by not getting things through congress. donald trump is frustrated when he meets democratic elected leaders in nato. donald trump figured out this is something i can do and focused on president obama. >> absolutely. indeed seems donald trump is frustrated than being president works very differently than he thought when he ran for president. the reality he could consider removing president obama's security clearance shows how political his motivations may in fact be. initially he said he wanted to remove the security clearances of those who disrespected him and who were speaking against him in a very biased way, but we know that's not what president obama has been doing. to attack president obama for something that could actually end up benefiting his government, trump's government, shows just how partisan he's handling these clearances. >>katty. >> when you lump this together for the presiden

mcmaster was pushed out. >> so setting aside the idea that there are mastermind whose brought us obamacarepular over the course of president obama's presidency, is there any sense of was this a reflection of donald trump's insistence on there being a conspiracy out to get him? or was this, in fact, the work of the way, that people came to him and said, hey, we suspect this is a thing that's happening and perhaps that helped trigger his own sense that there was a conspiracy that was out to get him? >> i'm not really sure, actually, what the originator is. i think a lot of -- a lot of trump's advisers or those that were looking to get his attention and to be his advisers told him that they suspected that this was what was going on wind t behind the scenes. so they fueled his sense of encirclement which he already felt. so this played into his conspiracy theories which he propagated on his twitter account about trump tower being tapped. so i think it was kind of this circle where everyone was feeding into these theories and, again, you can sort of, again, understand a little bit about why the
