republicans who humor him will -- to discuss this, i'm joined by mark mackinnon, host of "the circus" on showtime. and good to see you both. mackinnon, let's kick it off with you. what kind of trap is donald trump setting for republicans with this january 6th stunt? >> well, you know, john, i was just thinking, as you were reporting that the president is coming back to the white house. obviously he can do whatever he can and wants to from wherever, if he's at mar-a-lago, but it struck me i was worried about a president being back in the white house and worried about the damage he could do doing his job. so the question is, we've all been asking, what ked he do between now and the 6th, between now and the 20th, is he will break just about anything he can. that's basically what he ran on, and the interesting thing again, to your point you just made, i get the sense that while donald trump has a lot of equity with his base, but even with his base, john, i think ultimately the whining and the sore loser routine will get old. on the other hand, i think he's going to have a presidency in exile. he know

a lot of us have seen the reagan documentary on showtime where young jeff greenfield recommends thatay joe biden will be the democratic nominee and he is laughed off the set practically by walter cronkite. biden was of course the butt of a lot of of the jokes in the '88 campaign and the way it ended in 1987 and same wing with the 2008 campaign and 2020 campaign. joe biden has always been underestimated. same thing happened with harry truman when he got to washington in 1934 was dismissed by a rube by "the new york times." he wouldn't be endorsed because he was one of the strongest champions of the new deal. when he was picked in '44 as the vice president, fdr's own chief of staff mocked him and said who the hell is harry truman? yet he kept surprising his critics time and time again. he left with the 22% approval rating but as i talked about in the book, winston churchill said no man did more to save western civilization than did harry truman. the guy, again, because he understood how washington worked and because he understood the senate, because he could strike bipartisan compromis

there is a new documentary on showtime. saying that he would be the nominee.iden was the butt of a lot of jokes in the 1988 company, the 2008 companies. almost everybody discounted him. he always has been underestimated and always overperformed in the end. same was true of harry truman. he was mocked and ridiculed throughout his presidency but ended up creating a foreign policy that influences the world today. >> that leads us to your new book. it's called "saving freedom," and it takes us to a review of harry truman, and you believe that trump had a lot of common -- i should say, with president-elect biden. how so? why do you think that? >> well, first off, they were both very under estimated. his own party mocked and ridiculed him. when he ran for president in 1948, they held up signs saying that i am just mild about harry. when he got into the white house, fdr had very little use for him. and yell here's a guy who came in and though he was underestimated he had been in the united states senate long enough where he knew the players and knew how to deal with

for a second because one of the things that i learned in the book, i did a documentary in 2015 for showtime by the way called the spy masters in which we told the story of the july 10 meeting come july 10, 2001. in. in the book i was able to go deeper and talked to a number of really persuasive sources in the white house and cia who said essentially that all you had to do in july of 2001 was call a principal's meeting. and, of course, principal's meeting being a headset cia, fbi, vice president or national security adviser and all of those department heads, and you get them around a table and you shake the tree. when you shake the tree with all those people at the table, stuff falls fast. a number of people told me that they think that had condi rice called a principal's meeting, that they would have discovered that two of the al-qaeda hijackers were on u.s. soil and had been for months this was, as we all know, , a failure to communicate between cia and fbi, that's the kind of stuff that gets found out when you go through that kind of process. so this is not the first presidency, trump's i
