>> i think that john ratcliffe is going to do an incredible job if he gets approved. he's got to get approved. i think he'll do a great job. i think we need somebody like, that that we need somebody strong that can really rein it in. as i think you've all learned, the intelligence agencies have run amok. they've run amok. >> i just think -- am i wrong to read the president being like i need this guy to rein them in. the run amok is not the best way to get this guy confirmed? >> my rough calculation is they'll probably get you ten republican votes because they hate the intelligence agency so much. but for an awful lot of these folks, they're going to be really upset if forced to vote on this guy, because he is obviously highly unqualified, a, for the position. and b, they like to pretend or they like to say, excuse me, that they are defenders of the intelligence agencies. and they know damn well what's going on here, that trump's trying to get protection by getting this guy confirmed.
