MOLLY: ELLISON BARBER, WE SHALL
SEE OF ITS NEXT WEEK WITH WEEK
AFTER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
LELAND: DEMOCRATIC ARE OBSERVED
MEMBER ANTHONY BROWN.
STARR WERE ALLISON LEFT OFF
THERE REAL QUICK.
DO DEMOCRATS HAVE A VESTED
INTEREST IN TRYING THIS OUT AS
LONG AS THEY CAN UNTIL NANCY
PELOSI BECOMES SPEAKER?
>> IS REALLY LESS ABOUT WHAT THE
DEMOCRATS HAVE IN TERMS OF A
VESTED INTEREST.
LELAND: THIS IS WASHINGTON.
I WAS TRYING TO GET WHAT THEY
WANT.
>> POLITICALLY IT'S OPENING UP
GOVERNMENT.
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS IN THE
SENATE WITHOUT A RECORDED VOTE
BECAUSE THAT WAS THE EXTENT OF
THE BIPARTISAN AGREEMENT.
PASS THE BILL THE CAT GERMAN
OPEN UNTIL FEBRUARY.
FEBRUARY IS MUCH BETTER.
IT'S IN EVERYBODY'S INTEREST TO
HAVE TO CONTINUE THE RESOLUTION
AND LET'S TAKE A ORDER WHILE
DEBATE, WHICH I OPPOSE THE
BORDER WALL, BUT TAKE IT UP IN
THE CONTEXT OF FULL
COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION
REFORM.
LELAND: THAT HAS BEEN TRIED MANY
TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS AS WE
KNOW.
YOU DON'T HAVE A LONG-TERM TO GO
HOME BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE
YOU HAVE MUCH FAITH THIS IS
GOING TO GET DONE BEFORE
CHRISTMAS.
>> I DON'T THINK THIS IS GOING
TO HAPPEN BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND I
HOPE THEY GET DONE BEFORE THE
NEW YEAR BUT THAT SEEMS LESS AND
LESS LIKELY BASED ON MULVANEY.
LELAND: CONCEIVABLY IT COULD BE
NANCY PELOSI DOESN'T THIS
NEGOTIATION.
WE'LL SURVEY THE JIM MATTIS.
WHEN HE ORIGINALLY RESIGNED, HE
SAID HIS RESIGNATION LETTER IS
EXTREMELY TROUBLING.
YOU ALSO SAID WE SHOULD ALL BE
WORRIED NOW.
AND NOW THAT NOW IS UPON US
JANUARY 1st, WHAT SHOULD WE BE
WORRIED ABOUT?
>> MANUS AGREED TO STAY ON UNTIL
FEBRUARY AND HE WAS GOING TO
REPRESENT THE UNITED STATES AT A
CONFERENCE, HOPE THE PRESIDENT
DELIVER HIS BUDGET REQUEST IN
THE SETUP FOR THE DEFENSE
AUTHORIZATION ACT THAT NOW THE
PRESIDENT FIRED HIM.
LELAND: DOESN'T THE PRESIDENT
HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY I WANT
SOMEBODY WHO'S NOT A LAME DUCK
AND NOT HIM BUT HE RESIGNED IN
PROTEST.
AND HE SAID I DON'T LIKE WHAT
THE CONGRESSMAN IS DOING AND ALL
STAY ON UNTIL THE END OF
FEBRUARY.
YOU WOULDN'T SAY TO THE CHIEF OF
STAFF CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE YOU.
--
>> MY CHIEF OF STAFF LIKE
SECRETARY MATTIS HAS THE FAITH
AND CONFIDENCE OF THE MEN AND
WOMEN IN UNIFORM.
DEMONSTRATED TIME AND AGAIN EVEN
WHEN HE DISAGREED WITH THE
PRESIDENT HE WOULD SERVE THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE THE PRESIDENT
FAITHFULLY.
THAT TYPE OF PERSON YOU CAN KEEP
ON UNTIL FEBRUARY.
>> BY THE VIRTUE OF THE FACT
MATTERS QUITE COME HE THEN
SHOULD WE PROTECT DID UNTIL THE
DAY HE GAVE SPARED WHAT IF HE
SAID IT WON A LEAVE NEXT JUNE.
>> THE PRESIDENT HAS A RIGHT TO
DO WHAT HE DID.
YOU'VE GOT AN ACTING ATTORNEY
GENERAL.
YOU HAVE A HOMELAND SECURITY
CABINET SECRETARY THAT IS NOT
THE CONFIDENCE OF THE PRESIDENT.
LELAND: HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
>> THE COMMENTS HE HAS SAID
ABOUT SECRETARY NIELSEN SUGGESTS
HE IS VERY LOW CONFIDENCE IN
HER.
NOW HE'S GOT A KNACK TEAM --
>> THE PRESIDENT HAS NEVER SHIED
AWAY FROM FIRING PEOPLE.
EVIDENCE BY TELLING MATTIS
EXPECT NOTHING ZERO JANUARY
JANUARY 1st.
DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING WE DON'T?
>> HE DIDN'T FIRE JEFF SESSIONS
WHO WE HAD NO CONFIDENCE IN
WHATSOEVER.
SO IS GOD ACT INJUSTICE ATTORNEY
GENERAL.
HE'S GOT A HOMELAND SECURITY
SECRETARY THAT HE DOES NOT
CONFIDENCE IN HIM NOW IS THAT A
KNACK DEFENSE SECRETARY THAT IS
A RECIPE FOR DISASTER.
THE KEY NATIONAL SECURITY
CABINET.
LELAND: WHAT IS THE DISASTER
THAT'S A RECIPE FOR?
>> THE CONCERN I HAVE A NICE
MATT WEBB NOW ACTING SECRETARY
SHANAHAN, HE'S SMART.
HE'S THE INSIDE GUY.
I ASKED HIM WHAT IS YOUR
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARTIST IN
YOU.
MATTIS IS THE OUTSIDE GUY.
HE'S GOT THE STRATEGIC KNOW-HOW.
HE UNDERSTANDS THE MILITARY
FORCE.
HE UNDERSTANDS NO TERRY
FAMILIES.
SHANAHAN COMES YOUR MINISTRY.
HE MAY BE GOOD AND WHAT HE
FOCUSED HIS ACQUISITION,
TECHNOLOGY.
THEY'RE IMPORTANT THAT MY
CONCERN AS IT IS NOT THE
STRATEGIC OVERVIEW HE NEEDS TO
ADVISE THE PRESIDENT.
>> BY DEFINITION WHOEVER IS
ACTING A LOT CAN BE NOMINATED TO
BE THE SECRETARY.
IT WOULD LEAD ONE TO BELIEVE HE
WILL LOOK OUTSIDE OF SHANAHAN
FOR THAT.
YOUR PROMISE THAT THE INTERIM?
>> EVERYONE'S PROBLEM SHOULD
READ THE PRECIPITOUS WITHDRAWAL
FROM SYRIA.
THE POTENTIAL WITHDRAWAL FROM
AFGHANISTAN.
WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF THE UNKNOWN
BETWEEN NOW AND FEBRUARY THOUGHT
WAS PRETTY GOOD AS SECRETARY
MATTIS TO GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO FIND A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT.
LELAND: NO ONE HAS EVER
QUESTIONED THE BIGNESS OR GENTLE
