He credited his long life to god, Smoking Cigars and ranking whiskey. During it. In 1942, served with an allblack unit in world war ii. On veterans day, in 2013, quite a moment for him. The time is 8 minutes after the top of the hour and donald trump tweeting about retired because your general anthony tata praising his thoughts on siri as he looks for a new defense secretary. Would he want the job . He addresses the rumors next. This blue light, the explosion that was seen for miles that is going viral. Heather the search is on to replace james mattis. Who is donald trump eyeing the role . Who can he trust to take up his Foreign Policy initiatives . Here to break it down, the list of contenders, former Deputy Commanding general of us forces in afghanistan Brigadier General anthony tata, youre the author of this new book dark winter which i have a copy of and i have just begun. Great to be with you. Heather donald trump has to get a new defense secretary. In terms of people hes looking at what qualities will he be looking for first . Whoever he picks the person should share largely his views on Foreign Policy and domestic policy to a certain degree when you Start Talking about the wall. Think about alliances and how alliances serve interests and other interests, he talks about rooting out terrorism at its source and having no in during the forever wars that lead to nationbuilding and talks a lot about building up the budget so that we can compete on the International Stage with russia and china and when you look at that and he wraps together defense and trade together because they were mutually supporting of each other. Whoever he picks should have a holistic view and advanced the president s wise policy. That he enacted over the last couple years and in a strategic fashion. Heather it became clear general mattis had a different vision when the president announced withdrawal of troops from syria. Having served as secretary in a governors cabinet in North Carolina and you become an extension of the ceo. Mattis is an extension of the president and he must believe in and advanced the president s agenda. It is not competition. You are not looking for a sycophant, but you are looking for someone who is going to advance your agenda. The president was elected by the people, specifically because he made promises about no forever wars, no nationbuilding, build a wall, domestic security and so forth. Heather who are some of the people you think would be in line with his vision . We have a list of four. Tom cotton, patrick shanahan, acting defense secretary jack keane and general David Petraeus. He is a Great American and has a lot going on right now but his name comes up every time you Start Talking about this kind of thing because of his background and experience, jack keane, i served with both. General David Petraeus and jack keane in the 82nd airborne division, both Great Americans, would do an excellent job. General keane said he does not want the job and has differences with the president on syria. Heather he has been vocal against syria. Senator cotton is mostly in line with the president , not sure he wants to whittle away at his advantage in the senate even though there will probably be an appointment that is a republican to that position from arkansas. Senator cotton would be a good choice, he is a young man who served in iraq as a captain and lieutenant, he would be a reasonable choice. Shanahan is in the job of owning an executive, a career with boeing, he is with the Defense Industry so when you look at the criteria i laid out initially and look at who is on the rumored list, those are the people that come close to fitting those criteria. Heather he is not in a rush to name a replacement, something he did do is sent out a tweet about you saying general anthonytata, the president is making the right move in syria, those protesting withdrawal of troops from syria are the same geniuses who cooked the books on isis intelligence and gave rise to isis. You are in his favor. Was this the position you would consider . I have a long history of Public Service and i would be honored to serve this president. I believe donald trump has a great agenda for america and has a Foreign Policy that is very effective and turned around a lot of negatives from the previous eight years and turned them into positive, we are more secure country today because of donald trump and it would be my privilege and honor to serve. Of that phone call a came i would welcome it. Heather thank you for joining us, you have to promise to come back if you do take the position. You have the experience worthy of it. Thank you so much.

You have the space force. Heather with a lameduck session in congress will Donald Trumps space force become a reality . 25 Year Air Force veteran, thank you for joining us. Good morning. Heather it was reported the pentagon would house the space force under the permit of the air force. Is the plan in jeopardy with the lameduck session of congress . In question. Congress established the need for any of this and was a bipartisan effort two years ago that basically told the department of defense analyzing what we need to ensure our dominance in space and we are looking at it to phased approach, the president , the permit of the fence executing the first phase of that, the first steps in that and it will be up to congress to chamber the sixth Service Since fans when they do that. Heather what is happening in the first phase . It is four steps. The president announced we would establish a new combatant command called Space Command like centcom operates in the middle east him a this command will be in charge of all twee forces that operate among Space Command. That is the first step. Second is to segment print forces within all the four Different Services that operate in space. He wanted to name that the Space Operational force and once the constitution goes into effect for the new service, those would be fortunate for it. Probably the biggest step is Space Development agency which will acquire new systems to go into space. More prepared for warfare in space. Heather people talk about warfare in space, sound like a crazy movie, but it is potentially a problem. We are the most dominant force in space right now. We are really good at using the faculties we have in space right now but all those were designed during the period when we thought space would be a domain of peace and we can operate freely in it. It doesnt take much to read in the open source to find out chinese and russians arent looking at that domain that way anymore and we are well behind them with regard to fighting and warfare in space and congress is seeing that and that is why we move forward with this initiative. Heather we will see what happens. Hopefully it does move forward. Time is 26 after the top of the hour. The media slamming donald trump for signing make America Great again hats for our troops. If they brought them or the president brought them, what commander allow that to happen . This is very much against military policy.
