it's no coincidence, in my view, that leon panetta was the gold standard at both. there were certainly other great white as cheese and of the great cia directors but panetta was right up there with the best in both jobs. that's partly because that had a lot to do with the fact that a netted when you begin director for obama he was 70. yet been around the block. he served in congress. he was comfortable in the corridors of power. he knew the white house and he could walk into the oval office, close the door and tell barack obama what he didn't want to hear, and that's essential in both jobs. >> you portrayed him as being not just an honest broker but like a brilliant strategist. >> he was, he was. one of the great infighting stories that i felt in the leon panetta chapter is about the time that poor denny blair who was then director of national intelligence made the mistake of trying to take on leon panetta in a bureaucratic struggle over who would appoint the cia station chiefs. well, i guess you could on paper make the argument that the director of national intell

secretary panetta, mr. panetta, thank you so much for being with us.st of all, the president is ramping up his pressure on the supreme court to try to overturn joe biden's victory. our legal experts, pete williams and other legal experts, say it's such a long shot. but how does this hurt joe biden's ability, you just heard shannon say that so many people believe the election was fraudulent as well as damaging america's reputation for the peaceful transfer of power and for our democratic institutions overseas. >> well, all of this is incredibly harmful to the ability of our democracy to function as it should be functioning. there should be a peaceful transition of power going on. there should be cooperation between this administration and the incoming administration. there should be no question as to who is going to be the next president of the united states. all of that is the way our democracy has functioned in the past. and to raise these issues that have no foundation in truth or fact, and to constantly challenge the results of this election, send a

you had a very sobering interview with secretary panetta.his incredible scenario of donald trump's refusal to ever criticize, say anything wrong about putin and the russian government and willing to encourage interference on our elections, donald trump. if he had been impeached and the senate got rid of him, it would have been a large message to foreign countries, don't mess with the united states. your tool in this case donald trump is gone, we have a new government. and michael pence coming from indiana, the big state of the pharmaceuticals would have been trying to unify the country on the covid. if we're going to have a war on it, let's do it united in a way that franklin roosevelt would or john kennedy, instead we got donald trump's mixed messaging about the response to the coronavirus on a daily basis to the point we all became dizzy in 2020. >> i mean, you wonder if mike pence or really any other more conventional politician might have looked at something like this crisis, as so many politicians have done, and seen where the good of t
