mcmaster: they're just gen. mcmaster: they're just getting 30 days or 500 dollars that's just the cost of doing business, i know that we have organized people. we're trying to figure out if we've got some here maybe we do, we have a state grand jury just like the federal grand and bring them to full or that grand jury and investigate with the tools of the grand jury, we talked to our u.s. attorney steven mccoy, so everyone was onboard and had a marvelous thing happening in the city of charleston, but the first night they had one of those until eleven o'clock, a curfew, they had a whole lot of violence. a less confrontational approach is they had a lot of [inaudible] beautiful place with lots of people busting out windows and throwing in big fire crackers, and they was laying across the tables and [inaudible] the curfew and they were scaring everybody out and running into - [inaudible] in the hotel and shops heard shots [inaudible] some of the agitators and a lot of them are from outside there's there's no doubt

mcmaster and untitled new work by bob woodward coming in september.e country is "the room where it happened," john bolton's disturbing account of the trump white house. this is one of the great things about america. you know, the former adviser can go out, write a book, can get it published despite the trump justice department's attempts to stop him. he can tell his own story. you know, it's been an interesting back and forth now for months about whether there's classified material in this book, whether it should be published. bolton was able to fight back against the doj's attempt to stop it from being published, winning round one in court. but there will be more rounds to come and bolton may end up having to forego the profits from the book. you have to wonder if the entire lawsuit was really about intimidation, about warning future would-be authors not to write a book about trump, not to speak out about trump because otherwise, you know, it seemed this lawsuit was not going to succeed in its initial attempt to block the book from being published. s

and it's something talked about before from mcmaster. dereliction of duty, in which h.r. mcmaster warned we should not allow the military to be used to achieve political purposes. and that's exactly what is taking place. the president is taking a wrecking ball to every institution that is designed to preserve democracy. i have been reading a book that came out some years ago by helen murphy, and in the book he talks about what autocratic societies do, secrecy, surveillance and social control. and that is what the president is doing in terms of trying to control a social protest that was largely peaceful in this city. yes, there were some violent outbreaks in other parts of the country but in washington, d.c., those people were out there protesting. what he was doing was subordinating as he was trying to crush that, show that he is a man full of strength and pushing them out of the way. that's why general mattis spoke out. he had reached his breaking point. mike mcmullen, admiral, and the former head -- you cannot do this with our military. this is a democracy. and if you

hr mcmaster offered his thoughts on the pandemic and national security. >> what do post- china u.s. relations look like. it looks like in advanced complication. it was ongoing prior to that covid-19 crisis. i think it's based mainly on what is motivating the chinese party. they have to go first and foremost it is the parties desire in efforts to extend and tighten its exclusive grip on power as well as to realize the stream of national rejuvenation. i think it is intensifying with 45 different ways. i think we can see and recent days the information warfare that the chinese communist party is waging against the united states. with the narrative that the other free and open democratic systems. this is in part to mask. their responsibility. on how widely this pandemic spread and that information is campaigned. there's also becoming more aggressive militarily. they had formed these two municipalities. the big landgrab in the south china sea. and a lot of violations. what you're seeing i think is the result of this kind of behavior is a backlash internationally and i think that's a posi

mcmaster, and he really embraced bolton, and the two of them had a very close relationship initially,olton writes in his book he went in clear-eyed. he knew the risks and he believed he could handle it. now, trump also courted bolton for months. they had many meetings during the transition, many conversations. there were discussions whether he would be secretary of state. jared kushner told bolton the president really liked him. he finally comes in but he writes he was appalled by the president's outreach to kim jong-un, that he thought it was a terrible mistake. and he also describes the president as transactional in nature in terms of how he deals with foreign leaders and that it's one-offs, that there's no cohesion to his world view. however, bolton also makes clear he saw the relationship with president trump and his job as a bit trance actional in the sense that he decided he would go into the white house to try to get things done and he did that and the relationship over time just completely deteriorated. >> so while we were seeing some of these revelations overnight, yesterday

bolton, tillerson, mcmaster them list goes on. has this happened to any other president in living memory that you know of? >> no, it hasn't. it would be a news story and extremely rare for one senior official in a president's administration to come forward and make a series of explosive allegations in the way that john bolton has. it's a whole other thing for it to be a litany of officials doing exactly that. and that is indeed what we have seen, some of these officials going further than others. but all of those officials who you just put up on the screen, they are all people who have criticized the president in one way or the other, said that he is not empathetic enough, said that he is unfit to lead, says he runs a chaotic white house. and that is one of the patterns here. the other pattern is what you see from many of the very same officials is they view themselves as a the guardrails the impulsive behavior we see from the president particularly as it relates to decision-making in the foreign policy space. that's you see folks

henry mcmaster wants to keep businesses open so people have a way of making a living. >>> i'm kyung lahphoenix, arizona. the mayor of phoenix says her city and the state of arizona is not recovering from covid. the mayor said we opened too much too early. the state of arizona did reopen on may 15th. if you look at the graph you'll see in the weeks since the numbers have jumped dramatically. state health department announced on thursday more than 1400 new cases just on thursday with restaurants, bars, businesses now open, the state health department is asking hospitals activate their emergency plans with 80% of icu beds being used. >>> i'm ed lavandera in dallas. the troubling trend continues. on average there have been more than 1700 new coronavirus cases reported here daily. we haven't seen numbers this high since the pandemic started. the same goes for the number of people hospitalized which has been over 2,000 for several tase now. the governor will work towards continuing the spread of the virus. he also says they're going to push to fully open that. dr. tom freedman, the former dir

mcmaster, john bolton and now robert o'brien, who i happen to think is the best national security advisernt's had them. because of that, i've had an opportunity to be involved in every single national security discussion and event that we've had since president trump has been in office. i've been to conferences, i've been in cabinet meetings, i've been on head of state calls, i've seen what he's done. and one thing the president has done with heads of state and leaders, he's been very forceful. he's been direct. he's been candid. and if there's anything he's done, the one single thing that he's done is he has supported the american people. it's always been america first. he's always looked out for american interests first. it's something john bolton hasn't done. look, lou, i can tell you a year ago when we were up in bedminster, i saw john bolton personally derail the afghan peace talks that we were trying to get accomplished. we thought we had a pretty good handle on it going forward. because of that, we're a year behind what we were trying to do in stopping the longest war in american h

mcmaster wrote a book when i was at the pentagon and all of us wret read it, you should nev allow theitary to be used by politicians for a political objective. and when i cybsigned on with president clinton, i had an agreement with him, i will do my very best to carry out the duties of this office and i expect you will never ask me to participate in a political decision or a political activity. he said absolutely. and so to see the military being used for a political purpose seems to me that undercuts the very notion we have a military subordinate to the commander in chief, but the commander in chief cannot and should not politicize our military. it is the last institution i'm aware of he hasn't been able to politicize successfully. he's politicized the justice department. he's tried to politicize the judiciary, my judges, my generals, my attorney general. so now it is my military. it is not. it is not his military. it is the american people's military. and we are sworn to defend the constitution, not to defend his office. so i find it very offensive that he would use our military to

did you ever have a conversation a month ago when everything was reopening with henry mcmaster about having the carolinas open together instead of two different states doing two different things? gov. cooper: i will let dr. cohen address that in a minute, but we know the virus does not respect state boundaries. we know that when you have an area where people travel back and forth, that there is potential to spread the virus. south carolina took a somewhat different approach from north carolina and did ease restrictions more quickly. he and i discussed it. we did not discuss coordinating those efforts, but we did talk to each other about what each one of us was doing. we remain concerned as these numbers go up. i'm not sure that i can tell you particularly where that charlotte mecklenburg increase comes from. i do know charlotte mecklenburg has been a place of concern since almost the beginning. addresset dr. cohen that point as well. dr. cohen: thank you, sir. yes, i would say all of our three urban areas, the triad, the triangle, and the charlotte area continues to be areas of focus

early on in the presidency, the trump presidency, jared and ivanka were called tine listen with mcmaster, security advisor, with staff to the president of the united states. and toorl what person trump waunltd toads hear from evaluating the call was jared and ivanka, who thought this call with putin was great. in fact, all the others were horrified by the nach rb of the call. remarkable. i can't imagine all the people in the room you want to hear from jared and ivanka. thank you for your reporting. thanks for watching. our coverage continues. >> glad to be with you. guys, are you tired of frequent nighttime bathroom trips? well, force factor prostate helps reduce urges to urinate, plus fully empty your bladder and promote a normal prostate size. don't settle. choose force factor prostate, from the #1 fastest-growing men's health brand at walmart.

general mcmaster, tillerson, the secretary of state, mattis, they all concluded that the president himself a grave threat to the national security of the united states because of one, his temperament, his instability, but also, he's playing into the hands of putin. they all came to that conclusion. and so now we are at a unique juncture in our history where the president himself whether he's fit for office, more than questioning, by those who serve as his key national security aides and concluded that he is not fit to be the president of the united states and that's the understory here that we as journalists need to keep probing, and why did these generals wait so long to say it out loud? >> you heard him say there, carl, that americans need to look harder at who they elect. is he telling them not to vote for trump? >> i don't want to interpolate what he's telling people but i want to know, all four of these key aides to the president as well as others in the national security area gave warnings in private years ago, two years ago, a year and a half, a year ago, that the president himself

mcmaster, former national security adviser. these men all have something in common. military. they respect the chain of command. and i think that a lot of people were wondering if there would be a point where that would break. and i think jim mattis has done that. >> john, you know, obviously the president is now tweeting, calling mattis overrated, saying that he is glad he is gone and talking a lot about the general's nickname. but he spent a lot of time raving about his former defense secretary, didn't he? >> he did. and of course that undercuts his criticism. but there's a larger point that undercuts his criticism. as jamie just said, jim mattis is somebody who is reticent to speak out on events in politics. when he does, his words mean something. his words are carefully chosen. they have weight. donald trump's words have no weight. words to him, attacks on other people are like little rocks he picks up on the playground and throws at someone. he was asked about this in a fox news radio interview. brian kilmeade said why do you spend your time attacking chris cuom

governor henry mcmaster was seen in the same conference -- press conference alongside the state epidemiologist saying he's very resolved at having businesses stay open safely. because he said people need a way to make a living and so his group that he put together back in april called accelerate sc for businesses to figure out how to reopen safely, that is still going full steam ahead. but there is a stronger messaging now about wearing face masks in public, trying to avoid groups, frequent hand washing, social distancing, some messages that local residents said was out there with much more emphasis earlier on. in fact, we talked with a resident here who he feels there hasn't been enough information about how bad it's gotten here. >> but they opened and this is exactly what we thought would happen, wound the number of cases would go up and it's -- it's gone up pretty rapidly. i don't know what the double rate is, but, you know, i'd like to know that information, but nobody is doing the math. >> well, cnn has done some of the math here, according to johns hopkins data. the numbers -- the case n

sources say calls convinced former top trump dmts, including mcmaster and john bolton, defense secretary mattis, rex tillerson, and john kelly that the president was delusional. several sources noted he often pursu pursued goals aligned with his own agenda rather than the national interest. carl bernstein joins us with more on the jaw dropping report. you write that one source said these calls were such an abomination that if members of congress knew the content, even republicans would not have confidence in the president. what were his calls with russian president putin like? >> his calls with putin, he was almost slavishly seeking putin's approval, trying to prop himself up, as a great businessman, demeaning predecessors in foul terms, vulgar language, calling them incompetent, now that he, trump, was there they could deal directly. the overall tenor of calls as well as specifics of them show the president of the united states in terms of allies bullying them, almost sadistically dealing with women on the call, mainly angela merkel and theresa may, the prime minister of great britain,

mcmaster and james bolton, james mattis, secretary of state rex tillotson and james kelly that the president was often delusional. several sources noted he pursued goals aligned with his own agenda rather than the national interest. >> when it comes to putin, he was almost slavishly seeking putin's approval, trying to prop himself up. trump is a great businessman. demeaning his predecessors, george bush, barack obama in foul terms, calling them incompetent, now that he, trump, was there, that they could deal directly. the overall tenor of calls show the president of the united states in terms of allies bullying them, almost is a disstickically dealing with women on the call, namely angela merkel and theresa may. those calls with those women are described in almost issadistic terms. the spokesman for the german embassy here and in the united states saying those calls were very concerning and problematic. >> you can read carl bernstein's full story on our website. that's at cnn.com/politics. >>> still to come, news reports say beijing has passed a controversial security law for hong kong. now

mcmaster, reince priebus, steve bannon, rex tillerson among them. why do you think they failed in their effort to have some serious discipline over there? >> i think there were a lot of different reasons. i don't think it was necessarily inevitable we're in the chaos that we are now. other people tell me that even today that is a fatuous idea. trump will be trump and nothing can correct it. i believed when i went into the government and people will read the book and decide whether i was right or wrong that we could do better. i don't think i succeeded so i'll join the list of people who couldn't get order. but in the potentially deadly area of national security it is very important for presidents to make considered decisions. i am a conservative republican. i have been since i handed out leaflets for barry goldwater in 1964. we're not dealing with a president who has a philosophy. i am not saying he is a swishy liberal democrat. he doesn't have any philosophy at all. i think that is a problem, too. >> let's get to some of the specific charges, alleg

mcmaster left bolton was there and at that point there had been bumps in the road for the administrationmber of people who expressed interest in the job had begun to wain. but john bolton who has a long career in public service and knows the government and how it works ant the interagency process which is important for the nsc, said woe be willing to take on the challenges. from my conversations from him and his public statements, he always had disagreements with president trump before he went into the white house. as far as his views on warmer ties with russia and any kind of trusting relationship with beijing. and a number of other things. he was very skeptical about trying to forge any peace deal with north korea. he very much wanted to withdraw from the iran nuclear accord which is something -- >> hang on one second. we have to go to atlanta to the district attorney in fulton county. let's go. >> before we started today, i wanted to acknowledge mrs. miller who is the husband of rayshard brooks. she is here today with her attorney and after we make our presentation, she is going to ma

and tell her son, mcmaster, and john bolton could not figure this out.he job of the senior advisors is to work with the president, not to fight with him and to implement the policy is. and i am very sorry that john bolton could not figure out how to do that. >> martha: always good to talk to you, thank you very much. also joining me now, kt mcfarland, former national deputy security adviser in the trump administration and the author of "revolution trump washington and we the people." good to have you here tonight as well. i want to ask you about the china trade deal, because john bolton says that he was appalled that the president was sort of pulling the levers in terms of china and president xi in order to help farmers for the sole purpose of getting reelected. i'm wondering what you think about that and whether or not that strikes you as a strange way to go about policy? >> well, look. i mean, john bolton makes a lot of accusations in this book and what we have seen so far is that it is really talking about what trump thought about doing, what he wante

call, a few governors speak up about their concerns, but many governors on that call from governor mcmastervernor of west virginia, you see a lot of republicans, a lot of supporters of president trump encouraging his rhetoric at this time. and that should be noted as well. >> encouraging his rhetoric, but, kristen, no mention on that call of the pandemic. we are in the middle of a pandemic. why aren't we talking about it? or why isn't the president? >> the president and his allies and aides here would argue that they are talking about it. no it was not the focus yesterday. that yesterday was the focus on deal with the immediate crisis of these protests and the unrest that we've witnessed in cities and states across the country. but there is no doubt, steph, that the president has been eager to try to turn the page from the pandemic, to try to focus on the economic recovery, the fact that you do have states starting to slowly reopen. it is no secret that the economy and the strength of the economy is going to be key to his re-election argument. and so the president wants to put the focus on

some states continue to go up dramatically like in we just showed governor ducey of arizona and mcmaster of south carolina. cases are going up a lot in those states, hospitalizations too. more mitigation efforts such as what was implemented back in march might be needed again. is it possible that some of these states are going to have to start reimposes stay-at-home orders because they're going about this re-opening in not a responsible way? >> i was so thrilled to see a press conference today by cdc to explain what they're talking about. because i have great concern that the messaging to date has been wrong. when you look at countries that have been successful like south korea, it's not a linear move from phase one to phase two to phase three with each step continuing to open. you go from phase one to phase two, and then if there's a cluster or an outbreak, you say we're going to slow it down, restaurants are closed again. it's a back and forth kind of move. because until there's a vaccine, the only tool we have are dialing up and dialing down these kind of steps. and if we're not colle

mcmaster.ut, anderson, on a day when the president himself compared himself to abraham lincoln, on a day when the press secretary, as you mentioned, compared the president to winston churchill, former secretary mattis is making some very dark comparisons. at one point during this statement, he talks about how instructions were given to soldiers storming normandy during world war ii and how they were told, they were reminded of how the nazis believed in divide and conquer, and how the american answer to that was, in union there is strength. and the trump adviser i spoke with this evening said that will leave a mark with the president, being -- having a reference dropped in this statement to the nazis is not going to sit well with this president. i think general mattis, former secretary mattis has gotten the president's attention and we're certainly going to hear from the president, i think, in short order. >> maggie, i'm wondering what you make of this. the president obviously has criticized mat

is there going to be, coates, mcmaster? recognizing this is a potential problem. then, of course, endorses joe biden. that would be deeply embarrassing for the president, but i don't know. i think it's too early to kind of guess if we are there or not just yet. >> and final question, eddie glaude for you. if following 11 days of protests in the streets, people came away from the coverage on this network and others merely with the impression that we have a lot of cities covered and technical skill and indefatigable correspondence, that would be a regret. what do you hope is the larger message that lo and behold after 11 days of this our fellow americans take away from all the sights and sounds we've been witness to? >> that we need to imagine america anew. it seems to me that the frame we've lived under for the last 40 to 50 years is collapsing. you know, i live for -- i'm 51 years old and for all of my life lived under a culture in which the country declared it was going to be tough on crime. that we were engaged in a war on drugs, and that provided the frame for
