Once you do that, hard to put back in the bottle.

I've had a number of conversations with Marco Rubio, Senator Rubio, who I've known for years, in part because of his service on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. And at the risk of damning him with praise that he might not want, we've had really good conversations. And Tulsi Gabbard?

I don't know her, have not talked to her, but I do know Senator Rubio, and I think he's extremely well prepared for the job by his service on the Foreign Relations Committee, on the Intelligence Committee, and he's deeply thoughtful about most of the things we have to confront.

Well, look, Tim, I'll say two things. First, those words when spoken were accurate, and I wouldn't take them back. Second, I haven't spoken to Secretary Rubio at all since he's taken on the job. So I don't really benefit from hearing directly from him how he's seeing this, how he's thinking about it. Is that unusual?

Look, I think everyone does this differently. In my case, I benefited tremendously from talking to my predecessors, many, many conversations with Henry Kissinger before he passed away, very frequently with Condi Rice, Jim Baker, and obviously Madeleine Albright when she was alive, John Kerry. So in my case, I wanted... the benefit of their extraordinary wisdom.

But again, people do this differently. And actually, I talked to Mike Pompeo a couple of times back in the day, Rex Tillerson. The challenge that anyone in an administration has is they're following the guidance of the president. or what they believe to be the guidance of the president, because in this case, it seems to shift a bit on a daily basis.

And you're always trying to divine what that might be. I had a tremendous advantage on the job because I'd worked for Senator Biden when he was Senator, Vice President Biden, President Biden for 22 years. So I always pretty much knew in advance what he was thinking. And when people around the world heard me speak,
