Secretary of Defense James Mattis appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation this morning for an extensive interview that touched on a wide range of topics such as the Paris climate accords, NATO and the possibility of a conflict with North Korea.
At one point in the interview, host John Dickerson wanted to know one thing — what keeps the retired general awake at night.
“Nothing,” Mattis bluntly stated. “I keep other people awake at night.”
Pretty sure that moment is going to get replayed quite a bit over the coming days and weeks. At the very least, it drew a lot of attention on Twitter today:
