if you used to think general mattis mad dog was a hero and tough as nails marine. that's the old truth. the new truth is that he is like an overrated general. so. >> alice, do you support the president? you heard the list. how many of the things do you believe it any? >> look, i have said this many times. i think the ukraine conversation was inappropriate. i think doral is a bad idea. the kurds are our allies and not a threat. mad dog mattis is an awesome general. and should be praised for the service he has done. and the list goes on. all of those things are ill advised and should have been brought into a room and told that those are things that shouldn't be said. but we all knew that was not going to happen. republicans realize this is man he ran his campaign in this fashion and running his administration in this fashion. and my belief he can say these things i think many are certainly inappropriate. i do not think they are worthy of impeachment. and i think as a republican, i think as long as he is doing the things he campaigned on for the republican ticket. whi

the president always touted him as "mad dog mattis" and all of a sudden he was weak. the problem, the reason general mattis left is the president tried to do what he did in syria before, and general mattis knew the consequences of it and made it very clear he could not support that. so this was the president's response, to denigrate a storied general who has served his country with exceptional valor and distinction. >> we'll hear shortly from vice president pence and secretary pompeo who are in ankara right now meeting with erdogan, they'll come out and speak, we hope. but this is right after we released -- they released a letter from the white house showing what the president had written to erdogan, the very day that he then ordered the incursion. and the letter says, history will look upon you favorably if you get this done the right and humane way. it will look upon you photographer as the devil if good things don't happen. don't be a tough guy. don't be a fool. an insulting letter the likes of which isn't usually written by heads of state to heads of state. what is

. >> who, by the way, he made a lot of political hay out of calling him mad dog mattis.e would announce him in front of rallies. he would praise him to the heavens. it is just yet another example of there is nobody who this president will not throw under the bus as soon as they leave the room. >> but, you know, there was such -- the implications for the military here are really profound. i think we've read about what the special forces there felt about their removal, essentially having to abandon their kurdish allies. and that sends a reverberating force around the military. but to diss mattis now adds to it. he is estranging himself from every institution of government, from all of our allies in the world, and it is a horrifying situation. >> carrie, president trump opened his meeting with congressional leaders today bragging about his, quote, nasty letter to erdogan. it seems like he's proud of this letter. there's certainly a lot of people who, when they first saw this letter, they thought it was a joke. they thought it was actually like a hoax letter that had been pr

that pains him more than "mad dog" mattis or rex tillerson, reince priebus, or any of the fired members of the trump administration. >> good afternoon, i'm jeff burr burrman. today we unsealed a indictment charging lev parnas, igor fruman and two co-defendants for alleged participation in schemes to violate the federal campaign finance laws by repeatedly using straw donors and foreign money. parnas and fruman were arrested around 6:00 p.m. last night at dulles airport as they were about to board an international flight with one-way tickets. >> the movie writes itself. they're ready to leave washington from dulles airport with one-way first-class plane tickets in their hands to frank frankfurt, germany. perhaps knowingly fleeing the country, perhaps not. they're watching the minutes tick down. according to one eyewitness in "the new york times" they're drinking and eating the free food and in the first-class lounge, when the first-class passengers are invited to board the plane before everyone else, they make their way toward the plane when suddenly two plain-clothes officers suddenly st

." >> former defense secretary james "mad dog" mattis roasted the president at the annual dinner. >> he reportedly called mattis the world's most overrated general. >> i'm honored to be considered that by donald trump because he also called meryl streep an overrated actress. so i guess i'm the meryl streep [ laughter ] >>> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by brought to you by toyota -- let's go places. >> jim mattis is gone, but clearly his sense of humor is very much intact. very good last night. >>> welcome to "cbs this morning" where the story is alive and well at the white house. that's where we're going to begin. the white house is trying to contain political fallout on two fronts -- impeachment and syria -- after a pair of announcements drew major, major backlash. acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney now denies that he confirmed an apparent quid pro quo over u.s. aid to ukraine. there is also heavy criticism of vice president mike pence's deal to stop turkey's attack on kurdish forces in northern syria. >> new video shows evidence of gunfire and shelling in o

the military as young men and were trained in terms of the impact they should have and general mad dog mattis and got our nickname and said that it was during the training session he told his marines to be polite and have a plan to kill everybody you meet and a good soldier follows the true war rear and makes his enemy skin like a poncho. that is the military he throws going into battle and when you have a police officer has been drained in that way it's hard when a police officer is trained to a police officer that's been bred into them and they protect and serve mentality and a lot of local law enforcement and were reservists who were trained here and were trained to kill and occupying and destroying the streets and the the more police officers die every year of suicide than they do from being killed in a line of duty. there's an or under a lot of stress and plays out in terms of their reactions to situations and they're overreactions to situations and that people of color are predominantly the victims of that. i think we need to i think we need to take a comprehensive view of mental health

. >> well, i know both mattis and mcraven, mattis the warrior monk defense intellectual very cerebral guy. the mad dogaggressive commander, but basically he's a defense intellectual. mcraven, again, these two guys probably have the best reputation of any two senior military officers who we have produced since world war ii. mcraven's very high integrity, very much focused on doing what's right, patriotism, chancellor university of texas, just a remarkable man. so i think mattis is reluctant to get down in the mud with his former boss the commander in chief and is trying to stay out of the fray. but mckrachb looks back at it as an american patriot and says we are in serious trouble. by the way we think i are in syria's trouble with the president of the united states. >> yeah, doug, obviously that doesn't satisfy a lot of critics that james mattis hasn't gone further on this. they think he's uniquely positioned to sort of criticize this president. he left because of this syria policy, in effect. >> i think he's probably going a little bit slow. but what he said at the al smith dinner i think really touch

mad dog. >> i real estate thize that jim how much of an impact would it make if jim mattis spoke out now, many people are calling for him to do so. >> it would make enormous impact in the military where his reputation is quite high, but i think on the general republic as well. he has been a leading general, a cabinet secretary, there has been charge and duress. i think he caught to come forward and speak more. like mike mckinley. we all have an obligation to say what we know, speak truth to power, where ever it leads. >> you also talk, you're talking about fearlessness but in your book you talk about empathy. people don't think about that when think think foreign policy or military engagement. how can you not be empathetic. >> the book takes the book takes a different influence in the character that is leading yourself, that internal voyage that is much harder. the leadership swings on a small pink, your character, what is in your heart, and the most important quality to make that big door of leadership swing is empathy, listening, and putting yourself in the opponents shoes. that's what admir

mad dog monitor. moniker. he's very ferocious tactically military commander with a lot of combat time. but mostly jim mattis is a defense intellectual. he's a very thoughtful guy that understands the value of allies and understands the value of american character. and so he ought to be off limits to mr. trump. this isn't going to come out well. >> general barry mccaffrey, always a pleasure having you on. thanks very much for helping our conversation along here tonight. >>> coming up for us, remembering the man who was thrust by his life's work and the 2016 election into a powerful position of holding people to account. $9.95 at my age? $9.95? no way. $9.95? that's impossible. hi, i'm jonathan, a manager here at colonial penn life insurance company, to tell you it is possible. if you're age 50 to 85, you can get life insurance with options starting at just $9.95 a month. okay, jonathan, i'm listening. tell me more. just $9.95 a month for colonial penn's number one most popular whole life insurance plan. there are no health questions to answer and there are no medical exams to take. your acceptance is guarant

comments about jim mattis and you can think back a couple of years ago, obviously brought him into his cabinet trump did. trump used to celebrate him at public events, talk about him as mad dog, he seemed to love that nickname. from that reverence to what he's saying today, what do you make of it? >> well, first of all it's going to be a really long year, isn't it? look, this president has been petty and petulant before but you really got the sense as jonathan described he was rattled by this. this doesn't seem to be the performance of a confident man but also his willingness to insult men like general mattis, i think it carries some risk for him. because one of his strongest constituencies has been the military, right? he wants to bond himself to the military. and you talk to anybody in the military or national security and they have the utah most respect for jim mattis. and jim mattis has been very restrained and very reluctant to speak out until now. but, again, here's a president who is acting out of glandular impulse making decisions of life or death while clearly ignoring and now insulting his own generals. it's a moment where, again, perhaps we're not learning anythin

. >> mattis has been somebody a lot of democrats would point to as a reassuring presence and adult in the room. he definitely had a reputation of being a tough general. his nickname was mad dog he hated it but yeah. >> he hated it but it was come by honestly. for president trump to say he wasn't tough enough i think underscores how willing the president is to attack anybody who he thinks opposes him in any way. >> adam, great to have you on the show. thanks for being on set. >> thanks. >> a lot following and happening that we're following this morning overseas. not just in turkey but in britain. you have the headlines touting how the british prime minister and european union have reached this brexit divorce deal but some british lawmakers are already saying they're not going to support it. so does boris johnson have the political muscle to get the deal done? a special guest coming up. first we told you about a possible end to the uaw strike in gm. we're watching that and following another big strike in chicago. that's where this morning public school teachers in the country's third biggest city are walking off the job. you've got the union, mayor's office, not able to come t

democrat's words, the words of president trump's former defense secretary general jim mattis, affectionately known as mad dog. colleagues, i'm -- i'm not describing a misguided foreign policy here today. i'm describing an abandonment of the values that americans have embraced. i'm not describing a misguided foreign policy. i'm describing something much bigger than that, an abandonment that we, as americans have faced since the founding of our democracy. we have a package of sanctions that ought to be passed. these are stoarng than the ones that president trump imposed on turkey this week, which he apparently lifted. he lifted those sanctions as part of the retreat negotiated by his administration and he lifted those sanctions in the face that turkish forces continue to attack kurds and commit possible war crimes. but even strong sanctions such as those contained in our bill would pass would not solve the urgent crisis that president trump has created abandoning our kurdish allies. his quote. his quote, the president said this last week or two. he said i alone can fix it. i alone can fix it. well, mr. preside
