Yeah. So look, great communicator. No doubt about it. Great communicator. There was a reason he was on TV, but a little overly defensive, a little excitable, kind of jumping around a little bit.

You want him actually to make our force more lethal and lean and mean and all that depends on running the building. It's really hard coming in as a change agent. One of these big agencies, it's really, really hard. Very few people actually succeed in it. But he needs some help in that regard.
