Hes making to create some separation between himself and this storyline. because he was in the white house after the fact. he heard conversations and was made aware of stuff. and i think this is a way of kind of making a break there. but well see how it plays out. >> jennifer, you and i have talked a lot on tv about the fact that on capitol hill, republicans know, they leak to reporters, republicans will tell all of us on background how much they are disturbed by donald trumps behavior, by his c...

With code on it so when he gives the orders to the pentagon, he could read that code that he is the president and not an imposter. and then they have to convert this into an actual attack plan with targets. they have to thennin code or encrypt that and then transmit it out to the missile bases where other codes, which are kept in saves are compared to make sure it is the pentagon actually sending the message and then the targeting information is put into the missiles themselves. at that point, t...

Roles and how important they both were for the country. >> what do you think? >> i have to say, i am less interested in the can this marriage be saved between donald trump and steve bannon than i am in the portrait of the president of the united states in the chapter in "new york" magazine, someone who doesnt read anything, someone who doesnt know anything, someone who doesnt investigate or ask any questions about policy, someone whose staff doesnt even engage with him because they think its a w...

Before. but the senate, you know, poured the cold water on it and didnt get the impeachment go through. institutionally, you were up against a concept that institutionally people in washington could not really conceive of. they had no familiarity with it. and it seemed as though in those days largely because of the nuclear codes in the presidents pocket, we couldnt play games with something like impeachment. the president was too serious for impeachment to any longer be relevant. >> i dont think...

Nuclear codes and the buttons always, but remember the effect of that tweet as you said outside the united states because this isnt an issue just about presidential tone, is this really the way any head of state should be communicating? its about its global effect. this is just anecdotal, but i have been asked repeatedly over the holiday period, if britain and on mainland europe, is there going to be a nuclear war? i would say, that itself the issue that people are most concerned about as we mov...

Unanticipatable. donald trump had been a figure for a long time. during the campaign i cant resist playing this sound byte in which his opponent wanted to have her locked up said the following about donald trump. >> and in fact, his cavalier attitude about nuclear weapons is so deeply troubling, that is the number one threat we face in the world and it becomes particularly threatening if terrorists ever get hands on nuclear material. so a man that can be provoked by a tweet, should not have his ...

Hes accomplished. weve seen a lot of that in the excerpt of the book out today. we see that he can codes here in this statement by the president saying steve bannon only came after i defeated the other republicans. and he didnt do that much to help me. quite a striking statement from the president that we rarely have seen in this kind of a white house. >> yeah. the president normally would not do had kind of a statement. my sense is he is angry very angry at steve bannon because of the attacks o...

Considering it. much more of a relatively routine step under certain circumstances, as it is with federal judges and others who face it from time to time. jill wine-banks, i want to take you back to your days of investigating president nixon, who also had the nuclear codes in his pockets at all times. was there ever a moment like this where the world is wondering tonight might the president of the united states engage in a nuclear exchange simply to distract or dismantle the special prosecutors ...

Kelly kocobiella, thank you. retired four-star general barry mccaffrey, gulf war division commander and current msnbc management analyst joins us from hawaii, and msnbcs am mun moym mohyeld mohyeldin. is this tweet dangerous or is it inartful? others will say, remember, take the president seriously and not literally. if you take him seriously, look, he might be the reason the north and south are speaking, is what one might argue. >> yeah, well, its certainly the kind of tweet that weve never see...

In which his opponent wanted to have her locked up said the following about donald trump. >> and in fact, his cavalier attitude about nuclear weapons is so deeply troubling, that is the number one threat we face in the world and it becomes particularly threatening if terrorists ever get hands on nuclear material. so a man that can be provoked by a tweet, should not have his fingers anywhere near the nuclear codes as far as i think anyone with any sense about this should be concerned. >> thats ge...
