About this episode
Rachel Maddow discusses the implications of Donald Trump's Cabinet on national security amidst rising tensions with Iran.
"They're not sending their best." Rachel Maddow reviews how the collection of unqualified culture warriors Donald Trump has put in charge of key facets of the United States national security apparatus is much worse than merely incompetent now that Trump has started a war with Iran and stoked a new level of threat against Americans and American interests.
