but him. it s caused some republicans to pressure him privately. whether that leads to a big blowup, so much other stuff is going on, hard to know. sort of the worst time for him to test republicans like this when because of ukraine, because of syria. so already so pressured by him. already so far out on a limb. picture a crisis. any week. thank you both. former defense secretary james mattis taking a rare jab at his former boss. president trump. he called him an overrated general. take a listen. i m not just an overrated general. i am the greatest, the world s most overrated. some of you were tkind during te reception and asked if this bothered me to have been rated this way, based on what donald trump said. i said, of course not. i earned my spurs on the battlefield, martin, as you
