. -- jim mattis.s a good, good man. lauren: we have seen so much provocation between north korea and the u.s., and let's throw china into that, colonel. are we at the brink of war? what is the next step to contain their nuclear missile threat, to get china to do what we want them to do and to make the world a safer place? >> well, i think secretary mattis' point about not being impressed was to try to tamp down the most hysterical voices, the ones that have us going to war tomorrow. we may well have to take military action to prevent north korea from threatening the american population. but he's just saying we're not there yet. north korea still has some hurdles to get over. there is still time for a solution short of war. lauren lauren what is that solution? could it be sanctions on china which denies that they're in violation of this u.n. resolution, this latest one? is it more sanctions on north korea? what's the tipping point before we have to entertain a military option? >> well, more sanctions o

you would agree, secretary mattis. leon: too many lawyers. you said that, not me. let the record reflect that. [laughter] we operate under the rule of law and if we do not do that we will lose the american public's trust. we have an absolute duty to comply with the roles provided to us by the president of the united states. we will always do that. you ask the question i will try to answer. we go out and ask a lot of people a lot of things. that is the trade craft we teach our officers when they come on duty. yes, we ask questions. the question implies something far more sinister and that i can unequivocably say there is nothing sinister. we are complying with the rule of law and do our best to do so each and every day. [applause] as former representatives and cabinet members, do the presidents past comments on the credibility of the intelligence community encourage our adversaries? secretary panetta. leon: me? [laughter] i thought you were on a roll. you know, look, i think it is very important that the president of the united states is supportive of the intelligen

secretary mattis said all combatant commands suffer from an isr shortfall. the secretary said that there is a finite amount of isr assets and we deal them out like gold coins to the various commands. ambassador sales, is the coordinator for counterterrorism and you agree with the assessment of general secretary of defense mattis regarding the short? >> well, senator, and certainly not in a position to second-guess military experts on what their operational needs and tail for in light of their hardware capabilities. >> invocations as i understand it are pretty severe, right? this will play an adverse blow to our situational awareness in our support of operations and it will prevent us from getting early notice about. threats and i have no doubt that are members of the military and others involved in these efforts are doing the best they can with limited resources but despite these efforts can you provide any additional detail on operationally how the lack of isr has impacted our effort in north africa? >> that's a great question, senator. i defer to the penta

mattis has done exactly the same thing. the problem is as pointed out today, there are risks involved. the risk is destroying soul, killing one million people in a nuclear war. easy towhy it is not try to figure out how do we do this. you are left with frankly containment and deterrence whether you like it or not. containment and deterrence. we have to continue to strengthen our position there. strengthen our military. strengthen the south koreans. i would deploy more, give them more capabilities the same as the japanese. at the same time you have to improve the intelligence capabilities of both south korea and japan as well as our capabilities. i do not know. mike knows more about this he probably cannot tell you but the reality is it is a hard target. north korea is tough. not easy to get inside and try to figure out what this guy's going to do and we're been trying to do that and i think we have had some success trying to penetrate but it is tough. we need to constantly improve our intelligence. we need to continue to sq

mattis said, i've known that lady for 15 years. this is a guy who would rather visit troops, he would rather talk to janitors. he really doesn't like talking to the press. although he does it, as he did today, under duress. >> i'll try to let you get back into that briefing to get more headlines. it is interesting to see the last working day of the year, to see secretary of defense jim mattis making the rounds, even taking time to answer some of our questions. >>> from his awkward handshakes to the globing orb, the president has several moments to remember from his trips abroad. we're going to dig through the good and the bad and what it could all mean for the president's priorities overseas and our allies in the new year. d to their breeding grounds. except for these two fellows. this time next year, we're gonna be sitting on an egg. i think we're getting close! make a u-turn... u-turn? recalculating... man, we are never gonna breed. just give it a second. you will arrive in 92 days. nah, nuh-uh. nope, nope, nope. you know who i'm

did you talk to jim mattis? why did you feel compelled to pull your name? fought for you more? >> first of all, again, i want to emphasize that the reason i put my name in consideration for this position originally was out of personal loyalty and great respect for jim mattis, who i think all of us would agree he's served in the military in the last 25 or 30 years, he's the finest combat leader of our generation and a person who is extremely thoughtful and wise, and i think every person who served in the military for the last few years would love to work for jim mattis. the other reason is i felt strongly, and i loved the 35 years i spent in the international guard and air force -- >> i understand why you wanted the job, but why did you pull out is my question? why not fight for that job? >> i think that since my nomination was on indefinite hold, i wanted that position filled. again, our servicemen and women and families deserve to have an assistant secretary of affairs in that seat, and i did not want to put jim or his team in the position of having to del

i think secretary mattis will deliver the message that says we would love you to do that. the safe haven inside pakistan has worked to the detriment of our capacity to do what we needed to do in afghanistan. in the absence of the pakistanis achieving that, we are going to do everything we can to make sure the safe haven no longer exists. bret: secretary panetta, you dealt with that as secretary of defense. i want to acknowledge secretary schulz in the front row. it's great to have you here, sir. [applause] bret: he was talking about how afghanistan is treated as a whole country but in reality is controlled as we know by these kind of warlords in different pockets of afghanistan. talk about the challenge of dealing with a place like afghanistan after all these years. it's the longest war that we had in america. it's one hell of a challenge and frankly that's the reason we are still there and still fighting. because it's not easy. afghanistan was the place where al qaeda came together and developed the plans for 9/11. mr. panetta: we drove into afghanistan and a lot of the l

secretary tillerson and mattis pushing diplomacy and president trump tweeting diplomacy doesn't work. we don't know when north korea will do something that could be pro on vac active. senator graham said he thought there was a real potential that president trump could strike first before north korea. things to look for in the new year if north korea were to test any kind of nuclear bomb in the atmosphere that would be i think a game changer, a red line that the united states would have to do. >> has anyone used that term, though? >> no. absolutely not. i think that would be a game changer in this back and forth. >> francesca chambers, north korea again. you do a lot of foreign travel. it has to be part of the buzz on the back of the plane every day that you are flying. >> i 100% agree with what you're saying. i don't want to be like accused of warmongering or scare tactics, but, look, this administration is looking at plans to be able to, if they had to, as you're saying here, to be able to go forward with some sort of a military option. i know they keep saying those are always on the

that seems to be what mattis will be spending most of 2018 on.f course, you mentioned, craig, the war is expanding. you look at places like somalia. there are new authorities in somalia. they can take drone strikes quicker. you have multiple ground operations in yemen. that's something they acknowledged last week saying, we have had multiple operations. normally we only find out if something goes bad. and aid drone base in niger that could be potentially with armed drones. you look at the combat fatalities in trump's first year, it is year of 2017. 21 fatalities. it's really the breadth of the geography that's striking. you have them taking place in over six countries, from afghanistan to africa. and i think moving forward in 2018, the challenge will be for both on the defense side and the intel side is finding out where isis is going to try to find a stronghold and what kind of external attacks they could potentially mount. craig? >> hans nichols there at the pentagon for us. hans, thank you so much for that. >>> the deadliest new york city fire

and that's the direction i believe things are moving and you mentioned foreign powers that general mattis head of the pentagon last week arguing there really ill that the. rocket attacks. he blamed the russians for supporting the taliban well that's an indication of how things are wrong seventeen years on there americans can't even keep the airport safe on the day. the defense secure of the night still any kind of the russians are involved and and need to seclusion or visiting kabul no. russia was supportive of the united states. from two thousand and one from the born conference. held with the under the auspices of the united nations russia and the entire region were supporting the russian leaders have told me personally that the us is doing the right thing in afghanistan the time must cooperate with them so have the chinese so have the indians even the even in scope quite in spite of the different ways general mattis saying rescuers were and i'm coming to the point the russians were supporting the inner cities the russians were allowing us supplies when pakistan became difficult . to go

i think secretary mattis said it correctly that the world is more dangerous today. where have more flashpoints -- we have more flashpoints. those all existed before january 20 of this year. so message discipline. us to those areas. i will leave it with that. [applause] what i mean by saying that is we should not over attributes the place we find ourselves in the world today to things that may or may not have as much impact as folks like to suggest some times. >> i think a lot of republican presidents i know exercised a lot of message discipline. and it wasn't so bad. >> this wasn't meant in a partisan way at all. where we find ourselves today is trajectory of post-world war ii conflict or post-9/11 conflict. these were republicans and democrats presidents alike. >> i understand what you are saying. it needs to be tied to a strategy. you can't just roll a grenade in the room and have things blow up and not have a strategy for how you deal with it. [laughter] >> moving on. [laughter] let me get to a process question about something both of you have dealt with. the osa

i want to ask about general mattis.ng the rhetoric from the white house and from the trump administration. you're worried they're barreling towards war. i'm not going to ask you to give me any confidences. because you know the defense secretary quite well and co-authored a book with him, can you tell us if he shares your concerns? >> well, the secretary of defense can surely speak for himself. what i notice in the difference in the rhetoric i hear from the white house versus what i hear from secretary mattis and secretary tillerson is that secretary mattis and tillerson keep emphasizes that diplomacy is at the lead of our strategy. and that economic sanctions should have time to work. one of the inconsistencies about what the white house is saying is that h.r. mcmaster, lieutenant general mcmaster has emphasized several times as your clip pointed out, that time is running out. and that you know, we're near the point of no return. but in fact, unlike iraq, time is working in our favor. the administration has gotten sever

with the rebels in yemen mattis says the u.s. is working with the saudi alliance to limit civilian casualties as well as advising on military tactics his comments follow u.n. condemnation of the coalition's bombing campaign which killed more than one hundred civilians in ten days and is a candle is a senior research fellow with pembroke college the university of oxford he spoke to us about the significance of the us statement. it makes great sense for matters to come out now at a time when its national pressure is growing against the saudi led coalition in saudi arabia to say that the u.s. is going to do its utmost to limit civilian casualties now is what we're actually in the context of being quite defensive of the u.s. role what of course many people would like to see would be the u.s. come out and say that must be an end to the war because a military solution to this conflict looks very unlikely now that we're in the surge here of this war with still no end and develop the fact that he made them does acknowledge publicly that

as the military -- general mattis has the military. when i was in fallujah, i was in the front lines, i was a deputy commander spencer forces in iraq -- special forces in iraq. conway, what later became the comment on record, general mattis was the first marine division commander. i showed him on the frontline line what we are doing, going to save houses where the snipers were. our order -- laying out our order of battle. this young sergeant next to me, bear in mind him the commander, this young sergeant grabs me by my collar and nearly throws me down. i get up, shake myself off, i'm red in the face. i go up to him, he says sir, they are shooting at you. before you marines, semper fi, thank you. -- for you marines, semper fi, thank you. iwant to express how grateful am to be your secretary, and how grateful our nation is for you magnificent vietnam veterans. ,or those family members today share in the understanding that we are a better nation for your service. with that, god bless you. [applause] >> thank you secretary zinke. please we

in my point of view all you have to do is look at what secretary mattis said. we're going to build a safer and nuclear deterrent while exercising fleet solidarity and readiness of a conventional force, saying i want to rebuild conventional overmatch, i want to maintain strategic's ability, strategic parity, and i want us to be ready to go to war. and my view, there are five things we have to do. we have to recapitalize the nuclear triad. well. i have to tell you i served the obama administration probably for four years, it actually seven of eight years but we are way, way behind where we need to be in terms of where we need to be in terms of recapitalizing our nuclear triad. we delayed, delay, delayed etc. execute the program absolutely on time and absolutely on budget. we have to replace the ground-based deterrent exactly on time or exactly on budget. live to do the between one greater, the bomber. live to do the long-range strike option. of the service life is out of the systems, they will all go away in the late 20's early 30's so we have to get after them.

don't forget, mattis and was in that meeting. he was believing he was getting critical information on his father's opponent from the russian government, andrea. >> we know that will be among one of the questions he will be asked this hour on capitol hill. at the same time, clint, going into the bank records, there's been a confirmation from a number of sources to a number of news agencies, a denial of a subpoena -- maybe that's a term of art from the private lawyer, jay sekulow, for the president. but they would not necessarily be notified by deutsche bank if records were turned over. deutsche bank has said that they're cooperating with the appropriate law enforcement agencies. >> that's right. you know, they would receive a subpoena. we don't know whether the records are actually for someone in the orbit of the trump campaign or if it's actually trump himself and his direct colleagues or family members. what we also should remember about this, though, when you're doing an investigation, you may have a lead. one of the first thin

conflict with north korea. >> i think this is something secretary mattis emphasized. think this is pretty good advice for all components of the military. mike: with the olympics taking place in nearby south but they were amazed how they were able to get their missiles and nuclear warheads this year. cia director mike pence said a few months ago it might be a few months and they will be ready. if we are going to consider the use of preemptive military force, you don't want to come close to estimating when they cross the finish line. the last thing we want if they trike is to still have a nuclear capability. >> there are times when you have the hear of top officials at the white house and our government. your advice to them? >> to the extent there is any possibility of putting pressure on china to do something about the regime in north korea. they don't see it as being in their interest to bring down that regime and help reunify the peninsula. i think we confront a quite unattractive choice. either leave north korea with nuclear weapons or look at military force. mike:

how does the ndaa and mattis' presence plays into that?st: i think republicans are certainly hope it helps. right now, we have got until december 22 before the next resolution is over. right before christmas. the republicans are really hoping to get a certain bill passed, which is they want continued resolution for the domestic programs, and then fully defense funding until 2018. and democrats have already said that they won't go for that. so i think that having mattis in ,he room was just kind of a way if not get the democrats to come over to their side, just impart, hey, we do need an increase in defense. host: we are joined again by ellen mitchell of the hill, formerly of politico. we are talking about the defense spending bill. is on the democratic line to many lawmakers thinks that the military made more money. less,l be several billion i forget, than the $700 billion that they spent in january. it certainly is not going to be as low. host: we're joined by the hill's ellen mitchell. republicans can call (202) 748-8001. democrats, (202

>> i think first we are going to see here on this display and i want to thank secretary mattis for being so important in getting this done. what you're going to see our multiple types of weapons used in different areas against our partners. as we look at what has happened these are on loan from saudi arabia. it's the international community community's way of coming together and saying we have a problem and we need to address it. what i will tell you is when you look at these there is no denying that these have iranian marks all over them. where do we go from here? the president made the first start by decertifying the iran deal basically with congress so congress can start looking at these other things that iran is doing whether it's ballistic missile strikes, whether its export of arms or related material to be used, whether his support of terrorists. any sort of action that destabilizes the region, that's all against united security council resolution so we want to make sure we are holding them accountable. where to v. from here? you will see an effort by not only all agencies within
