CIA DIRECTOR'S MIKE POMPEO HAS BEEN CONFIRMED AS THE NEWS
SECRETARY OF STATE IN THE TRUMPET MINISTRATION.
HE WAS NOMINATED BY TRUMP AND WAS CONFIRMED BY THE SENATE
TODAY WITH A 57 TO 42 VOTE.
THE VOTES OF HER BASE ALONG PARTY LINES.
HE DOES HAVE SOME CREDENTIALS.
THERE ARE PROBLEMS THOUGH BECAUSE HE IS A HUGE WAR HAWK.
I
DO WANT TO MENTION HE CAME INTO CONGRESS AS A TEA PARTY
CANDIDATE.
DURING THE CONFIRMATION HEARINGS WHAT STOOD OUT TO ME THE MOST
WAS HOW HE DOWNPLAYED HIS HAWKISHNESS.
HE MADE IT SEEM AS THOUGH HE IS MUCH MORE OPEN TO DIPLOMACY THEN
HE HAS PRESENTED HIMSELF IN THE PAST.
THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES TO HIM.
THIS IS ALL RELEVANT WHEN YOU CONSIDER WHAT IS GOING ON
IN SYRIA.
THE ISSUES WITH IRAN AND TRUMPS PERCEPTION OF THE NUCLEAR DEAL ñ
THE FACT THAT POMPEO IS SO HAWKISH WORRIES ME THAT HE WILL
TRY TO RENEGOTIATE THE DEAL WHICH WILL BE DISASTROUS.
MORE IMPORTANTLY THAT HE WILL ENGAGE WITH SYRIA FURTHER
AMPLIFYING THE WAR THERE.
SO A LOT OF
SCARY SCENARIOS TO CONSIDER BUT HE HAS BEEN
CONFIRMED.
HE TRIED TO WALK BACK SOME STUFF BECAUSE HE'S BEING
QUESTIONED ABOUT BEING SECRETARY OF STATE.
YOU DO HAVE TO WALK BACK THE MILITARISM THAT IS TYPIFIED
YOUR POSITIONS PRIOR.
IT IS SO EASY TO BACK INTO A MILITARY CONFLICT.
IT IS A LEGITIMATE CONCERN THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION CAN FIND
ITSELF IN A WAR.
ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE IN A MUCH BIGGER CONFLICT THAN YOU
THOUGHT.
IRAN REPRESENTS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER BECAUSE OF
POMPEO'S POSITION, BULLETS POSITION, AND TRUMPS LACK
OF UNDERSTANDING ON THE ISSUE.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN GUTTED UNDER TRUMP.
60% OF STATE HAVE RESIGNED.
LET ME GIVE YOU THE NUMBERS.
I WAS AWARE THAT THINGS WERE BAD BUT ONCE I LOOKED AT THE NUMBERS
IT IS TERRIFYING THAT THIS IS THE DEPARTMENT THAT IS
SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS.
MIKE POMPEO DOES HAVE HIS WORK CUT OUT FOR HIM AND I GUESS
WE WILL SEE HOW IT GOES.
THERE IS A DIRECTIVE FROM THE TOP.
THERE IS A SABER RATTLING GOING ON THAT DOESN'T REFLECT THE
RESPECT FOR DIPLOMACY.
THAT IS WHY SUCH A HIGH PERCENTAGE ARE EITHER
LEAVING STATE OR AVOIDING GOING TO STATE.
THAT IS THE WAY THE NEW WORLD WORKS.
IT WORKS WITH TREATIES.
THAT IS A VERY OLD-SCHOOL VIEW OF THE WORLD THAT SOMEHOW YOU
CAN BOMB A PLACE AND BOMB THEM INTO A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.
THE NEW WORLD IS ABOUT ECONOMICS, TRADE- AND THIS
COUNTRY UNDERSTANDS THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOMINATING COUNTRIES
WORLDWIDE WITH MONEY.
BUT WHAT WE USUALLY DO IS A DON'T BOW DOWN THEN WE BOMB
THEM.
YOU WILL LET US BUILD A DAM, WE WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE WILL MAKE
SURE WE DO.
ALL OF THIS IS TO SAY STATE DEPARTMENT IS CRITICAL IN
THE NEW WORLD AND TO AVOID A MILITARY CONFLICT.
I DON'T KNOW THAT POMPEO CAN DO IT BUT HE HAS THE CREDENTIALS.
IT WORRIES ME
