and the way he treated alexander vindman was just scandalous, he's a vindictive person, and you know again i just can't -- i've been very lucky, but this administration and fighting folks later about they saw this -- i mean why weren't they trying to run around and get people to get behind the 25th amendment, instead of running book proposals, or why didn't they just quit and go to the media, i just still can't even fathom hearing about these revelations. >> to that point, morality play for you this was a new take this week, lindsey graham, senator lucy grant praising trump this month after the january 6th insurrection. the reporters that were present described it as a dancing monkey retain, watch the. >> most importantly, would you tell them one thing that trump can play golf, legitimately play golf? >> okay so, listen, i thought it was bush it to. so, we go to the first time -- we play [inaudible] >> yes. >> and even by par playing the rules of the gods. [inaudible] >> this is the same lindsey graham, maria, that said he was done with trump just hours after the capitol attack, but

alexander vindman raised his concerns with his twin brother, lieutenant colonel vindman. serving with the national security council who relayed his brother's concerns to a national security council officials. now the pentagon inspector general report said trump officials retaliated, giving vindman unfavorably reviews. stripping him of responsibilities and days after the senate acquitted trump, firing him. he joins us now along with his attorney mark zab. you're here in a personal capacity, not representing the government. the report from the pentagon inspector general makes no recommendations for any subsequent actions into your record has been corrected. but this must have been very difficult to go through? >> it was difficult, jake. it was 21 months in the making. and that was not including the time i spent in what felt like an armed camp since the july phone call alex and i spent up until february of the following year just days after the acquittal in the senate, and the white house where it did feel like an enemy camp whispers and it was tough and i'm glad that the d.

we're back with retired army lieutenant colonel alexander vindman and the rest of the panel. this might not have been a surprise for me, but it certainly puts it all back into public view. what are your thoughts? >> well, i'm shocked, frankly. i don't know why the president would be so animated, but my wife tells me i do the same thing to her sometimes, so i guess there's something to that. you know, it's -- it is -- i think it's amazing to see the president maybe respond to reflections of everything he might not be. i try to be candid. i try to be forthright, truthful. i try to think about my duties and my obligations, the army values, selfless service. it's everything that trump is not, and i think that reflection, the fact that i was challenging him, is probably what drove him to madness in certain regards, and it's okay. i'm okay living in his head and toying with his mind. it doesn't bother me at all. he's probably going to, you know, break some glasses here later on today when he sees this interview. you know, but i don't know. this is -- to me, this is, you know, this

when he's listing the topics to you, he asked me to dig up dirt on alexander vindman, he wanted me to court martial former generals, he wanted me shoot black lives matter protesters. all of that stuff is madness. if i'm hearing a president say that, my response would be i'm going to do everything in my power to make sure this man isn't in power one more day. he didn't do that. he wanted to stay through the election. i understand the mind-set of i want to nudge this guy the right direction and thank goodness we had mark esper there or kash patel or the pillow guy or whoever his replacement would have been, but still, you know, we had a very close election, a very, very close election, and i would have liked to have heard some of this before that very close election, if the threat is as great as it seems like it is based on the facts that he's testifying to. >> and i guess just to sort of put a button on this, to consider it newsworthy that someone who looked a president in the eye, who was so disdainful of his own sort of uniform military leaders, someone who wanted protesters shot in

vindman, the national security official who of course became a star witness in trump's first impeachment trial. now over years since he was fired, asper is outselling a memoir on his time in the administration. and as in the case with every other tell-all about the ex president, it is full of some shocking, previously unreported allegations. according to a new york times report on the book, which is not yet publicly been released quote, trump asked esper about the possibility of launching missiles into mexico to destroy the drug labs and wipe out the cartels, maintaining that the united states's involvement in a strike against its southern neighbor could be kept secret. now one esper raised various objections about this trump said that we could just, shoot some patriot michels and take out the labs quietly. adding that no one would know it was us. now let me back here here for a second, trump wanted to bomb mexico, our ally our southern neighbor in what would certainly be an act of war. he wanted to do this clandestinely, possibly in such a way that somehow blames another actor other tha
