new administration don't get bamboozled and start recognizing putin for who he is, a bad guy who is uniquely capable of doing bad things to us. they'd like to see him do things about it, try to fix it in ways obama didn't. >> josh, very quickly. you have new reporting about the secretary of defense. share it with us if you would? >> seems to be trouble in paradise. james mattis was nominated about a month ago. what several transition sources tell me is that mattis has been rejecting all the names given to him by the trump transition team. >> why? >> he doesn't like the people they're suggesting. he wants more control over the process. he wants never-trump republicans to be included. the trump transition team doesn't want that. overall this is the two sides squaring off. there's going to be a dynamic between a very powerful defense secretary and a white house that's very insular and paranoid. they're trying to figure that out now. there is a clash. it could all get resolved.
