Is one of the adults in the room. >> mattis is worshipped on the armed forces, hes devoted to the rule of law and the constitution. he somehow got a bunch of service secretaries who are probably the best weve had in 25 years. its an island of sanity over there. and i think hes learned how to deal with the president. i dont believe hes going to allow anything that threatens our security to happen without speaking up, so im sort of putting him in a box and saying thank god hes over there. you know...

About this and the fact that don mcgahn is leaving, if it ever occurred to the president, this person is in that position to do a certain role and is not always going to be protecting donald trump, the man and the person. >> okay. looking at you, i want to ask about your reporting on michael cohen, and caroline, a white collar grill attorney, this whole client who will fight tooth and nail initially and then reality strikes and you think about your kids and your wife. how typical is this transit...
