kaitlyn collins, thank you. keep digging. rex tillerson the now outgoing secretary of state speaking moments ago after being fired by the man you see on your screen getting off his plane in california today. he s in california because he s about to check out these different border wall prototypes for along the southesoutherns/mexican border. we have that for you. stand by. you re watching cnn. i m brooke baldwin. almost $800 when we switched our auto and home insurance. with liberty, we could afford a real babysitter
diplomacy in it, of course, especially when you re the ceo of exxon, but it wasn t effective. the voices have already bnt loudest of those coming from a military background. brooke, can i add something here to what jamie is saying? please. nobody speaks for the president. we ve learned that. even when the president wasn t the president, he was calling up reporters, pretending to be his own spokesperson, if you ll recall. the president considered, i m told, rex tillerson arrogant. he doesn t get along with general mcmaster but he doesn t think general mcmaster is arrogant. general mcmaster is a soldier. what we re learning now with potential changes to come, this is aun chained donald trump who

respected cabinet member who has not served in that role. i think jamie s first point, for a while now, seemed like the secretary of state and president haven t been on the same page. you had what happened in charlottesville when tillerson said the president speaks for himself, reportedly, when he called the president a moron which, by the way, to this day tillerson hasn t denied that. disagreed with the israeli embassy move, disagreed on the paris climate accord and even north korea. rex tillerson has been open to talks but certainly not at the presidential level. i could keep going. absolutely. there is no question that jamie is right and he know this is from firsthand experience, that the job of secretary of state is absolutely all about having credibility with the people you re talking to around the globe and that they have to have confidence that you really are
point the finger directly at the kremlin. brooke? we ll be listening to that response. nick paton walsh, thank you, from london. we heard from the outgoing secretary rex tillerson, speaking out publicly after being fired just this morning by president trump. we will talk about the man who will replace him, pending that confirmation and the new pick for the cia director, who has would be the first female but also has a controversial history there.
