going in. first his ties to russia. and how close he has been to vladimir putin but i think people understand that was really a business relationship. so we ll wait and see and hopefully he will put american interests before russian interests. bill: so many of the decisions he made were based on business, right? we ll see how he transitions to being a diplomat where it isn t all about business. the career plats at the state department who i was lucky to work with are looking for a secretary engaged in diplomacy around the world and wants to promote american values and interest not run the state department like a business. i think people are concerned after his confirmation hearing he didn t seem particularly well vest versed in many foreign policy topics or didn t focus on things like human rights or other things. bill: you don t get graham and mccain and rubio to come to your cause.
