I think it's unclear. So as of this recording 10 minutes ago, Mr. Hegseth, the defense secretary, was just confirmed on a 50-50 vote. Hegseth is an interesting character. I believe a former colleague of yours. Yes. He appears to have done a bit of a conversion on his foreign policy beliefs. And the best evidence of that is the people that he's picked so far.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I think the available evidence is that he is like a, circa 10 years ago was a pretty conventional Republican. Yes. And he has changed his life in more ways than one.

So he is a question mark. But the early evidence is the people that he has chosen to surround himself are stark departures from the man from 10 years ago. And so that's a big deal. It is a big deal. Especially in a place like the Pentagon, which is hard to control.

Yeah, I mean, he did not need to make these picks. I don't think he needed to make these picks to get confirmed. I don't think he needed these picks to win any senators. He is courting, I think, minor controversy now, which is why we're having this meeting. He did not need to do this. It was a move of conviction and belief and principle in his early days in office.

Just give us an example of what you're talking about. Sure. There's going to be this Michael D'Amino figure who will have the Middle East portfolio. He has been advised throughout the process by another figure named Daniel Caldwell.
