PRESIDENT TRUMP SHOOK UP HIS  NATIONAL SECURITY TEAM TODAY.  >> John: SHOOK IT UP AND MOVE  IT AROUND.  MIKE WALTZ IS OUT AS NATIONAL  SECURITY ADVISOR, BUT HE'S NOT  OUT OF A JOB.  MR. TRUMP NAMED HIM AMBASSADOR  TO THE U.N.  >> Maurice: REPLACING WALTZ, AT  LEAST TEMPORARILY, IS  MARCO RUBIO.  THE MAN THE PRESIDENT ONCE  DISPARAGED AS LITTLE MARCO WILL  NOW HAVE A BIGGER PORTFOLIO.  HE WILL BE SECRETARY OF STATE  AND ACTING NATIONAL SECURITY  ADVISOR.  ONLY HAS HENRY KISSINGER HAS  HELD BOTH JOBS SIMULTANEOUSLY.  >> John: WALTZ HAD BEEN IN  TROUBLE SINCE HE ACCIDENTALLY  INVITED A JOURNALIST TO JOIN A  TEXTING CHAT IN WHICH  DEFENSE SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH  TALKED ABOUT DETAILS OF A  PLANNED U.S. ATTACK ON HOUTHI  REBELS IN YEMEN.  HEGSETH IS NOT PART OF THE  SHAKE-UP.  >> Maurice: AS FOR WHAT IS  BEHIND IT ALL, MARGARET BRENNAN  IS IN WASHINGTON TONIGHT.  MARGARET?  >> Reporter: WELL, GOOD EVENING.  THIS IS THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT  PERSONNEL OVERHAUL FOR  PRESIDENT TRUMP AND IT COMES AT  A TIME OF GLOBAL INSTABILITY.  IT HAS GIVEN SECRETARY OF STATE  MARCO RUBIO AN EVEN BROADER  PORTFOLIO.  >> MARCO RUBIO, UNBELIEVABLE.  UNBELIEVABLE, MARCO.  WHEN I HAVE A PROBLEM,  ICALL UP MARCO, HE GETS IT  SOLVED.  >> Reporter: SECRETARY OF  STATE MARCO RUBIO GAINED A  FOURTH JOB TODAY.  HE'S NOW INTERIM NATIONAL  SECURITY ADVISOR AS WELL AS  ACTING NATIONAL ARCHIVIST AND  USAID ADMINISTRATOR.  HE REPLACES FORMER GREEN BERET  AND CONGRESSMAN MIKE WALTZ, WHO  JUST YESTERDAY PRAISED  PRESIDENT TRUMP.  >> IT'S AN HONOR TO SERVE YOU IN  THIS ADMINISTRATION.  >> Reporter: TRUMP NOMINATED  WALTZ TO BE THE NEXT AMBASSADOR  TO THE U.N., A ROLE THAT  REQUIRES SENATE CONFIRMATION.  SOURCES TELL CBS THAT WALTZ'S  INFLUENCE HAD BEEN DECLINING  SINCE MARCH, AFTER IT WAS  REVEALED THAT HE'D ORGANIZED A  GROUP CHAT, SIGNAL MESSAGING APP  AND MISTAKENLY INCLUDED A  REPORTER IN THE DISCUSSION ABOUT  U.S. STRIKES AGAINST THE  HOUTHIS.  >> A STAFFER WASN'T RESPONSIBLE,  AND LOOK, I TAKE FORCEFUL  FULL RESPONSIBILITY.  >> Reporter: WHILE  PRESIDENT TRUMP PUBLICLY  DOWNPLAYED CONCERNS, WALTZ NEVER  REGAINED HIS FULL CONFIDENCE.  >> IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH  ANYONE ELSE.  IT WAS MIKE, I GUESS.  >> Reporter: IN THE  OVAL OFFICE IN APRIL, FAR RIGHT  ACTIVIST LAURA LOOMER INJECTED  FURTHER DOUBT ABOUT WALTZ AND  CONVINCED THE PRESIDENT TO FIRE  SIX OF HIS KEY AIDES THAT SHE  DEEMED INSUFFICIENTLY LOYAL.  LOOMER RECENTLY SET HER SIGHTS  ON WALTZ AND HIS TOP AIDE.  >> MY FOCUS WAS MORE ON HIS  DEPUTY ALEX WONG AND THE OTHER  INDIVIDUALS WHO MICHAEL WALTZ  HIMSELF PERSONALLY PROCLAIMED TO  THE PRESIDENT THAT HE PERSONALLY  VETTED.  >> Reporter: TODAY SHE CLAIMED  VICTORY AND BLASTED WONG ON THE  BASIS OF HIS ETHNICITY, PLUS THE  FACT THAT HIS WIFE PROSECUTED  JANUARY 6TH CASES AT THE JUSTICE  DEPARTMENT.  IT IS UNCLEAR WHERE HE WILL  LAND.  >> John: MARGARET, THERE'S  GOT -- THESE CHANGES AT THE  NATIONAL SECURITY STAFF, AND  ALSO FOUR TOP PEOPLE AT THE  PENTAGON ARE GONE.  WHAT DOES THIS MEAN, THAT  COLLECTIVE CHAOS, FOR THE  NATIONAL SECURITY TEAM?  >> Reporter: WELL, JOHN, IT  MEANS THAT THERE IS A SHORTAGE  OF EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS AT  A TIME WHEN THERE IS NO SHORTAGE  OF GLOBAL CRISES DEMANDING  ATTENTION, AND YOU LOOK AT THE  PENTAGON, WHERE YOU JUST SAID  IT.  I MEAN, THE DEFENSE  SECRETARY DOESN'T HAVE A CHIEF  OF STAFF OR DEPUTY CHIEF OF  STAFF.  OVER AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT,  MARCO RUBIO DOES NOT HAVE A LOT  OF KEY INVESTORS AND ADVISORS  ARE CONFIRMED BY ADVISORS AND AT  THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL,  IT IS TOUGH FOR THEM TO STAFF  EXPERTS WHO CAN PASS THESE  POLITICAL LOYALTY TESTS."}]
