. >> the president is doing "60 minutes" and something leaked out about jim mattis.at the hoover institute. the president has a tell of when somebody is about to lose their job. he says i think they're kind of a democrat. he once referred to rosenstein that way. he said i don't know anything, but he is kind of a democrat. well, boy, that's a tell. is he a democrat? >> not that i've ever seen. i mean, i think this would be a staggering finding to anybody who spent time around him. look. jim mattis has been a stabilizing force for national security policy during this administration. he's been someone who has presented a reasoned point of view. a lot of people would be very nervous if jim mattis were departing this administration. the writing is on the wall with some of the tells we're seeing with the president. >> their relationship has been strained for some time. jim mattis has been the level-headed cabinet member who has put forward traditional positions but the president hasn't been listening to him for months in terms of whether it's on iran or other issues. and s

it wasn't criticism coming from jim mattis. jim mattis knows the president knows why nato exist and what it's done for the last 70 years. it's been indispensable, a political and military alliance to provide peace and security in the world. >> martha: he said that it was his area, there's a financial -- biko he changed it. >> martha: if general mattis decided to leave, would you be interested in that position, general? >> i'm... um, not thinking about becoming secretary of state. no one has spoke to me about doing anything like that. i'm here talking to martha mccollum and that's fine enough for me. >> martha: general, thank you very much. good to see you tonight as always. thank you, sir. >> good talking to you, martha. >> martha: coming up, ben shapiro on democrat's in the midterm and the fear in the party what they might go through what they went through in 2016, perhaps. again. ♪ ignition sequence starts. 10... 9... guidance is internal. 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... ♪ the full value oft wyour new car? you'd be better off t

jim mattis was a colleague of yours. when somebody starts to lose their job, i think they're kind of a democrat. when he was asked about jim mattis, secretary of defense, he said, i don't know anything, he's kind of a democrat. that's a tell. is he a democrat? >> not that i've ever seen. i think this would be a staggering finding to anybody who spent time around him. look, jim mattis has been a stabilizing force for national security policy for this administration, presented a very reasoned point of view. i think a lot of people would be very nervous if jim mass tis departs this administration. that being said, it seems like the writing is on the wall with respect to some of the tells we see from the president. >> their relationship has been strained for some time. you can see jim mattis has been the level-headed cabinet member who put forward very traditional positions, but the president hasn't really been listening to him for months in terms of whether it's on iran or other issues. there's been tensions in the relation

mcmaster or jim mattis.this president has a hard time accepting advice from people that are are more knowledgeable and understand the issues. and are respected in the outside world. i think it's detracts from him and creates this kind of tension. that always results when there's somebody who is very good in the cabinet who happens to be doing his or her job. the president just doesn't like it. >> gloria and secretary, thank you. appreciate it. >> sure. >> let's check in with chris. >> how you doing, anderson? >> i'm all right. >> better than i deserve. what is behind the shift in the saudi story. if according to cnn sources they make the shift. we have senator ben sass. republican from nebraska here. is the senate really willing to move if the president doesn't? it's a weighty question. we're doing na and we have the next step in the investigation of the reality of the crisis on the border. the kids are in more trouble than i knew. >> tomorrow will be three weeks until the midterm elections. both sides have

more than anybody else so it doesn't surprise me that he would say he knows more about nato than jim mattis's just -- it's just one of those exaggerated statements that i think the public has adjusted to from this president. >> gloria, why do you think the president calls secretary mattis sort of a democrat or said he was sort of a democrat in the "60 minutes" interview? >> he went from mad dog to reports now that he calls him democratic dog and it's really not surprising, anderson. they disagree on so much. when you think about the south korea war games, they disagreed on the president stopping those, the demand, the space for it, nato, the paris climate deal. i think there have been a lot of disagreements. mattis is good at keeping it close and not going out there and talking about it, but now that the president has, it seems to me he's doing to mattis what he's been doing to jeff sessions. >> secretary panetta, what's the role when the president is undermining mattis and suggests he's leaving. >> well, there's no question that it undermines the defense department and, frankly, it undermi

and what he thinks about jim mattis. he's always been very big on mattis. we heard lately that relationship may be starting to sour as mattis speaks truth to him. here's a little what he told leslie. >> what about mattis, is he going to leave? >> i don't know. he hasn't told me. it could be that he is. i think he's sort of a democrat, if you want to know the truth. >> the president didn't fully explain what that means -- he's sort of a democrat if you want to know the truth. >> he did not. i think there's two possibilities here. one is that because mattis is rare figure in his orbit who does push back on his ideas, on his proposals that he therefore thinks that mats s is essentially part of the opposition. we know there are figures within the administration, you know, who clashed with mattis themselves and it's possible they've persuaded trump mattis is not really on his team. i think another possibility, though, is that trump is sort of preparing the spin, doing some pre-spin for mattis' apparent departure. when they le

ellison barber is here to fill us in on jim mattis and his meeting with chinese counterparts. >> reporterthe secretary of defense did not reach any new formal agreement. >> what is your message today? >> reporter: the meeting is a positive step to easing tensions. james mattis and the defense minister of china reportedly spends most of their time discussing the south china sea. earlier this month the chinese and us warships came within 300 yards of each other, they engaged in an unsafe and unprofessional maneuver. china defended their actions, and of the dispute involving south china sea, a large portion of the area with major trade routes in their territory come most of their neighbors disagree and china is recklessly militarizing the area. top pentagon official reported they did not specifically discuss the close call with those warships but both stated their position on the south china sea and continue to have differences, they plan to keep talking, the south china sea is only one point of disagreement between the us and china and trade, domestic politics, military related sanctions in

jim mattis said he met with allies before the president's announcement and how the u.s.ld respond to moscow violating the agreement. the leaders did not offer alternative approaches. president trump and russian president vladimir putin expected to discuss the treaty in november. they will both be in paris for world war i commemorations. eric: nine days away and one republican senator who's hitting the campaign trail for his colleagues and his crossing the country. crisscrossing our nation trying to spread the word. we'll have more now than what we can expect on the tuesday which will go out about. fox news channel coverage continues this sunday. but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell. fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money manage

. >> i want to get your reaction to that, what the president had to say about defense secretary jim mattistis has been staying in the job to try to be the adult in the room and trump does not like that. and there are other potential candidates for the job. mattis may feel like after a couple of years of doing it that he's kind of tired of babysitting trump as bob corker once said of staff in the white house. mattis, i think, is on a tricky time horizon in that he only might have a few more months left. but he hasn't been subject to the constant attacks like joseph sessions has. so there's that. >> you heard the back and forth there between leslie stall and the president. what's the read been on the way the president has talked about the leader of north korea? >> i think everyone in washington has been confused about why trump has said that he loves this guy given that every senator and every congressman detest him, and you know, human rights watchers will say that kim jong-un is plainly one of the worst dictators on earth. so why is trump buddying up to him, especially when it's unlikely t

he knows about nato, basically, than jim mattis. here is this. >> what about general mattis? is he going to leave? >> well, i don't know. he hasn't told me that. i have a very good relationship with him. i had lunch two days ago. it could be he is. i think he's a democrat, if you want to know the truth. but general mattis is a good guy. we get along very well. he may leave. at some point, everybody leaves. people leave. that's washington. >> clarissa, what does that mean? >> i think it means more confusion for the u.s.'s allies. nobody can get a straight story on who the people who operate the levers are. general mattis, calling into question the possible future of the general in his role will be rattling a lot of world leaders. at the same time, people have now come to expect this. they understand that there is this kind of phrone -- franetice in the white house and that it keeps rolling on, regardless of whether anyone is in the driver's seat. >> leaders around the world look at mattis as the rock. he is the guy they trust more tha

gavin williamson was speaking in brussels while meeting jim mattis his u.s. counterpart the u.s. defense secretary and other nato defense ministers and the harsh rhetoric comes off the back of a statement released overnight by british authorities which says that the u.k. government's national cybersecurity center had attributed a number of major cyber attacks and hacks to the g r u again that's russia's military intelligence agency and the u.k. cyber agency said it had assessed with high confidence that the g.r.u. was almost certainly responsible for cyber attacks against wada that's the world anti-doping agency that that was the the doping scandal the d.n.c. raid said that was which resulted in those leaks leaked clinton e-mails before the u.s. election attacks against ukrainian and russian infrastructure and institutions and to hack against a small t.v. station here in the u.k. and some of the hacks have been attributed to russian groups before but this is the first time that the british government had said that actually all these groups such as the fancy baz and pom storm they

defense secretary jim mattis had warnings for the kremlin russia must stop this reckless pattern of behavior including the use of force against its neighbors. that interference in election processes and widespread this information and campaigns. basically the russians got caught with their with their with their equipment with people who were doing it and they have got to pay the piper they're going to have to be held to account how we respond to something like this is a political decision by the nations involved and we will be standing by them so how will these places hacking accusations play out is it likely that the condemnation will actually lead to tangible repercussions for russia i put that question to ben regrets in brussels. well nato and also the united states certainly considering a fresh round of sanctions against the individuals from the russian military secret service and also maybe more expulsions of the russian diplomats but the relations between the western countries or russia as a solo you can how demotion they can diplomatically get any lower and if you add to the military

some other spokes person for the administration the only sane and sober one being in my estimation jim mattis at the pentagon secretary of defense of course with regard to syria though i think president obama's strategy and i actually had occasion to talk to president obama in the roosevelt room in november of two thousand and fifteen and got some inkling of this was to admit that bashar al assad was there that simply we had made a street strategic error and interpreted his role in syria like we had interpreted mubarak's role in egypt and that was wrong because there was a sizable portion powerful portion of the syrian people that supported as odd not to mention his armed forces in majority and so president obama's policy at that point was sort of patience to see how long it would take to restore assad and if eventually the united states could support that i don't know what donald trump's policy is but it looks at times like a continuation of that policy with some different ingredients largely manufactured by outside players like air to one in turkey bitten in moscow and to a certain extent t
