it s a movement that lifted donald trump into the white house. it s based on a kind of scary theory that bannon represents. so, yeah, they ll be thrilled about that. the problem is, there does have to be a secretary of state and a trade representative and people staffing the offices around the world. they don t have the option of walking into the home country of cairo or saudi arabia and engaging in that loose talk. it s a complicated world. there are interests at stake. so i think we re on a collision course with reality. and it will be really interesting to see who decides to represent the united states at the united nations, you know, at the state department. the trade representatives and so on. eric, let s go ahead and talk about what s happening today in new jersey. we ve got mitt romney, a possibility for secretary of state. just a couple months ago, who can forget, romney coming out not just in his press conference, but throughout the
good morning. in terms of who we know will and does have president-elect trump s ear. so we have reince priebus of the establishment wing, we have steve bannon of the alt right white nationalist wing and we have jared kushner of the family wing. how are these power plays going to play out? you missed one person. we have barack obama also whose ear, indeed, donald trump is attuned to as well. and i think we saw that in the meeting. the people i ve talked to say there s no question that the president had a real effect, a stunning effect on trump during that meeting in terms of imparting the seriousness and the weight of the presidency and what is expected of him in terms of being the president of all the people that is very different than the campaign. what we saw in the campaign and we re still going to see in this presidency are a different set of rules. trump rules. and that s what bannon represents.
