Mattis to Bret Baier: If I Had Any Plans to Leave the Admin, You Wouldn’t Be the One to Know

RUSH EXCERPT:

BAIER: “Well, if I did, Bret, you wouldn’t be the one to know.
[Laughter]
But, ladies and gentlemen, let me explain something. When the president of the united States, Republican or Democrat, male or female, none of that matters. When the president of the united States and I’ve never met Mr. Trump until I met him as president elect when he called me back for job interview, when the president of the united States asked you to do something in America you just do it, quote, Nike, just do it. Don’t get caught up and wondering and ringing your hands or something like that and say, to do or not to do or whatever, just do it. Get up, go up, do your job to the best of your ability, uphold the Constitution, give the president your best military advice, in my case, but, you know, we’ve got to get back to the point where service in this country is something you do. I mean, to tell you the truth the only reason I’m back in this low-paying output is because I love the troops, because I learned to hate mind field at age 21 but I love and they would look through something they didn’t want to find, they didn’t want their buddy behind them to step on it and the other reason is I have love affair of the U.S. Constitution, I will just leave it at that.”
