STATE POWELL 100 MAYOR CAST FOR
DHS SECRETARY JAKE SULLIVAN FOR
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR AND
FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE JOHN
KERRY. YEAH REMEMBER JOHN
KERRY, HE'S BACK THIS TIME AS
SPECIAL PRESIDENTIAL ENVOY ON
CLIMATE JOIN ME NOW FOR MORE ON
JOE BIDEN'S CABINET PICKS IS
LONG TIME FOR THE SHOW JOEL
RUBIN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE
AMERICAN JEWISH CONGRESS AND
FORMER FORMER DEPUTY ASSISTANT
SECRETARY OF STATE FOR
LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS UNDER
PRESIDENT OBAMA JOE NICE TO SEE
YOU AGAIN HERE MY FRIEND.
THANK OR HAS IT IT AIMS TO
THE TRANSITION FIRST OF ALL
WE FORMALLY HAVE A TRANSITION
NOW THAT THINGS HAVE BEEN
BLITZER BIG PICTURE THOUGH WHAT
DOES THAT HOTEL WOODY OF ALL
THESE NAMES AND REALLY THE WAY
WITH WHICH THEY WERE BEEN
PRESENTED BY PRESIDENTELECT
BIDEN TODAY WAS THIS
TELL YOU ABOUT HOW MISTER BIDEN
WANTS TO RUN HIS
ADMINISTRATION.
>> WELL, JUDY IT'S GREAT TO BE
WITH YOU IT'S GREAT TO BE ON A
POST ROUTE AND THE DAYS WELL
WHERE WE HAVE A A CHANCE
ACTUALLY HAVE A GOVERNMENT UP
AND RUNNING SOON
AFTER 9 GRATION AND THIS TELLS
US SAID VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN
CHERISHES NATIONAL SECURITY AND
FOREIGN POLICIES
NEAR AND DEAR TO HIS HEART AND
HE WANTS HIS TEAM IN PLACE THAT
REFLECTS HIS VALUES AND HIS
IDEAS AND IT ALSO DOES REFLECT
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND I THINK
THAT WE SEE IN THESE CIVIL
SERVANTS, THESE
LONGTIME GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS REALLY ACROSS THE
BOARD DECADES OF EXPERIENCE WE
SEE PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND HOW
TO GET THINGS DONE.
YOU UNDERSTAND HOW TO REACH
ACROSS PARTY LINES FOR
INSTANCE, ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN
CONFIRMED BY THOSE IN NEED TO
BE CONFIRMED AGAIN HAVE BEEN
CONFIRMED IN
THE PAST BY BIPARTISAN VOTES IN
THE SENATE AND SO WE'RE SEEING
THE VI THE VICE PRESIDENT
CALLED HIM BUT SHE CALLED THE
PRESIDENT A LIAR SORRY ABOUT
THAT WE'RE SEEING OF THE
PRESIDENT ELECT TRYING TO
CREATE A GOVERNMENT THAT IS
GOING TO BE
BROAD AND ATTRACTIVE TO A BROAD
SWATH OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
AND REALLY TURN A PAGE FROM THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WHICH WAS
VERY DIVISIVE FROM DAY ONE.
>> JOE LET'S TALK ABOUT TONY
BLINKEN OVER AT WATCHING
SECRETARY POMPEO DID YOU DO
THIS REQUEST FOR YEARS HAS
DEEPLY FAST DATING IN PART
BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S STILL A
LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT POMPEO
IS OWN
POLITICAL FUTURE AND SO TO WHAT
DEGREE HAVE YOU HAD SORT OF
UNABLE OR IS AROUND PRESIDENT
DONALD TRUMP NOT LOOK TO SORT
OF DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM AN
BUT SERVE TRYING KEEP THE TRUMP
BRANDO POLITICS ALIVE AND WELL
ON THE
GLOBAL STAGE. WHAT'S YOUR
EXPECTATIONS. WHAT WE'RE GOING
TO GET HERE FOR MISTER BLANK IN
WHAT YOU SEE AS BEING SOME OF
THE BIGGEST THAT HE'S GOING TO
FACE.
>> YOU KNOW, I'VE WORKED WITH
TONY SECRETARY BOYKIN FOR A
NUMBER OF YEARS BACK WHEN I WAS
A SENATE STAFFER ALL THE
WAY TO WHEN I WAS DEPUTY
ASSISTANT SECRETARY TO THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND HE
WAS NUMBER 2 IN THE STATE
DEPARTMENT AND THE ONE THING
THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT TONY BLAKE
SAID HE'S HIGH QUALITY REALLY
AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS VERY CLOSE
TO THE PRESIDENT.
AND THAT MEANS A LOT FOR THE
STATE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE
SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO WORK
THE SYSTEM HAS RESPECT FOR THE
PEOPLE THERE
AS OPPOSED TO BEING AT WAR WITH
THEM WHICH IS WHAT MIKE POMPEO
WAS LIKE. AND IT SPEAKS FOR
THE PRESIDENT, NOT BECAUSE HE
CALLS IN ARE TRYING TO CREATE
SOME POLITICAL. ARGUMENT FOR
THE PRESIDENT, BUT BECAUSE HE
KNOWS THE TONY BOYKINS BEEN
JOE BIDEN'S TOP 8 ON FOREIGN
POLICY FOR NEARLY 2 DECADES IN
A VARIETY OF ROLES AND I
THINK WE'RE IF YOU SEE
SOMETHING OF A WORD WHICH MAY
SOUND BORING COLLEGE
CONSISTENCY
AND STABILITY, BUT FROM AN
AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL
PERSPECTIVE AND FOR THE MARKETS
AND FOR OUR NATIONAL SECURITY
PRIORITIES AND OUR PARTNERS
AROUND THE WORLD, HAVING A
LITTLE BIT OF STABILITY AND
PREDICTABILITY AND CONFIDENCE
IN THE SECRETARY OF STATE
SPEAKS FOR THE PRESIDENT WILL
DO WONDERS FOR THE UNITED
STATES ON THE GLOBAL STAGE.
>> JOE I'M UNFAMILIAR WITH THIS
WORD YOU USE I THINK YOU
PRONOUNCE ITS STABILITY IT'S
BEEN I LOOK PRESIDENT ELECT
BIDEN
HERE HAS I FIRST KIND OF
FLIRTED WITH THIS IDEA LAST
WEEK THEY SAID HE'D BE MAKING
HIS TREASURY AT SOME POINT AND
THE HOLIDAY WE NOW KNOW IT'S
GOING TO BE JANET YELLEN
JOE I A LOT'S GOING TO BE MADE
ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY THIS IS A BIG
TENT PARTY AND MANY VOICES
ARE THERE. WE KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED WHEN CONGRESSMAN
CEDRIC RICHMOND WAS TAPPED LAST
WEEKEND THAT YOU'RE MORE
PROGRESSIVE VOICES SAID THAT'S
A PROBLEM BECAUSE OF PRESUME
TIES TO BIG OIL. WHAT ARE YOUR
THOUGHTS HERE AS IT PERTAINS
FORMER FED CHAIR JANET YELLEN
IS THIS GOING TO BE ENOUGH FOR
THE BY DWIGHT HAS TO SORT OF
ASSUAGE
THE CONCERNS OF A LOT OF
PROGRESSIVE VOICES WHO ARE
DEMANDING REPRESENTATION TO
THEIR POLICY VIEWS AT THE
TABLE.
>> PERSONNEL IS
POLICY AND THERE ARE GOING TO
BE DIFFERENCES OF OPINION
INSIDE THE DEMOCRATIC
COALITION, WE
GROUP WE ARE VERY DIVERSE IN
OUR ARGUMENTS BUT
I THINK WHAT YOU'RE SEEING WITH
THE CENTER IN CASE AS AN
EXAMPLE IS THAT
THERE WERE THERE WERE CONCERNS
EXPRESSED AND THEY HAVE BEEN
EXPRESSED BY THERE'S OPEN
ACCESS AND THAT'S GOING TO BE
ONGOING EFFORT BY THIS
ADMINISTRATION AND I SAW OF
COURSE IN PERSONAL I WERE TRUE.
THE BERNIE SANDERS CAMPAIGN
EARLIER IN THE YEAR AS AN
ADVISOR IN AFTER THAT
CAMPAIGN ENDED AND THEN WAS THE
POLICY VOLUNTEER FOR THE BIDEN
CAMPAIGN AND WE SAW THE BIDEN
TEAM INTEGRATE ALL THE
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE
DEMOCRATIC COALITION INTO
DISCUSSIONS AND ITS ENGAGE
MONTHS ITS POLICY PLATFORM
CONSTRUCTION
AS WELL AND SO I THINK YES
THERE WILL BE CONCERNS AND
THERE SHOULD BE CONCERNS
EXPRESSED, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO
SEE AN OPEN DOOR AND THAT KIND
OF DIVERSITY
HE'S GOING TO BE A STRONG SUIT
FOR ANY
POLICY MAY TUCKER AND IT'S IT'S
IT'S GOING TO BE IT'S GOING TO
BE DIFFERENT
TONE. I THINK WE COMES FROM THE
TOP OF COURSE THAT THIS AND JOE
BIDEN IS SETTING THE TONE.
HE'S TRYING TO SKATE ABOVE THE
FRAY OF THE DAY TODAY ARGUMENT
TRYING TO SET A VERY DIFFERENT
AND FROM WHAT THE CURRENT
PRESIDENT IS DOING AND ALSO
FRANKLY WHAT WE'VE SEEN FOR A
NUMBER OF DECADES IN OUR
POLITICS AND AND THAT'S GOING
TO PERMEATE THROUGHOUT THE
ADMINISTRATION.
>> JOE ROBOT MY SPECIAL THANKS
TO YOU. MY FRIEND HAVE A VERY
HAPPY THANKSGIVING WHEN YOU ARE
ABLE TO TAKE A FEW MOMENTS AS
YOU
