served our country well. as we all know, as you have reported and a number of people are reported, there have been some differences in terms of where this president and this administration wants to take the state department and the engagement internationally. those differences while they may be minor in terms of scope from a foreign policy perspective, you have to be on the same agenda. i wish the secretary well. he s done a good job while he s been here and yet at the same time the reshuffling is pretty typical. you get this kind of reshuffling as you go into the out years of the first administration and making sure that the chemistry matches. i think that s what you heard the president talking about is director pompeo and his chemistry works very well. sandra: you re looking at a live shot of president trump stepping off marine one at joint
in a concrete way of denuclearization. sandra: you pointed out the policy differences that start to emerge between rex tillerson and the president. there was also a moment last year where rex tillerson reportedly called the president a choice word and rex tillerson doesn t exactly deny that. that was certainly a moment where everyone started to question the relationship of the secretary of state and this president. don t forget that s about the same time too the stories were coming out and the stories were float floated by folks in the white house and he was long for the job and we were told he d make a statement about nothing in particular. then asked if he called the president that and there was no comment. i think it s safe to assume that he did.
you had talks about another job? very focussed on doing what i m doing, bret. in spite of what former dcis who told me it should be a part-time job now, it is all of that i m focussed on. there s lots of work to do. i ve been privileged to do this 10 months and have serve with the finest espionage service in the world. bill: what was your hunch or who was saying what in your ear? the stories had been circulating in washington and there was a story it would be happening soon and tom cotton would be at cia and mike pompeo would move to state. the question came the day after the story first posted and obviously he didn t answer that. bill: the critical thing i heard from the president trump is we re always on the same wave length with mike pompeo, is that
off the nomination heap? does the new secretary want to bring new people in. people who have already been put in place so all right low in staffing in top positions, do folks already in position or nom nate for nomination do they fall to the wayside. bill: great reporting there. thank you. sandra: and we have our fox news editor. mike pompeo will need to be confirmed and go through a hearing before he becomes secretary of state and that is confirmed. we confirmed it with the constitution of the united states. this say big big bigly job. this is the number one cabinet position. this is the no question about it. this is the big deal. rex tillerson and the president
senate for one thing doesn t mean you re confirmed for everything. and the best news is the new cia director is a career person. mike pompeo was very partisan and she s none. bill: gina haspel what do you know about her? 30 years at the cia to be the first woman to lead that organization. josh. i think it s a monumental appointment and not only being the first woman but as congressman meadows said previously the best person for the job. someone who has the trust of the agent and knows the agency well and its mission and we ve seen how it s gone awry with cia directors that weren t aware of the culture within the agency and she clearly is. bill: if mike pompeo s going to be put forward to handle matters like iran you can see the issue coming back the president saying they had a disagreement on the iran deal and the north korean talks may
