RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number four. This was yesterday on Slay the Nation. This is kind of in line with what I\u2019m talking about, how the media perceives America. And, of course, in the media\u2019s eyes (which is leftist), America is unjust, America is — in many ways — illegitimate. America is the problem in the world, as Angela Merkel so proved with her incisive can comment that (paraphrased) “I guess now we\u2019re gonna have to totally rely on ourselves \u2019cause this idiot Trump isn\u2019t gonna be looking out for us anymore.” That, of course, that makes us the bad guy. So James “Mad Dog” Mattis, the secretary of defense, was on Slay the Nation Sunday with uber-leftist John Dickerson, who\u2019s the host. I think he\u2019s their political director.<\/p>\n
Now, this bite is only four-seconds long. I may have to play it a couple or three times.<\/p>\n
The bite contains the question and the answer, four-seconds long. Here you go…<\/p>\n
DICKERSON: What keeps you awake at night?<\/p>\n
MATTIS: Nothing. I keep other people awake at night.<\/p>\n
