C b bs contributor, former cia director michael morell. Good morning. Good morning. Should voters be concerned that there is no one in place right now today a month in . So with the secretary of state and secretary of de the most important it. Is the National Security advisers job to bring the National Security team toekts and present options and recommendations to the president. So its an extremely important job and the fact that we dont have one right now is a problem. Vice admiral harward said part of the reason he turned town the job, he couldnt have his own team. You heard yesterday, now they can have whatever they want. Change of position . I think the dichotomy matters. Its important that the president of the United States is comfortable with the National Security adviser. So it makes sense they would have to go to the president and say heres what i want me tell puchlt but there are otherishes that should be nonany fwoesh shl. Its the kind of matters here, not just autonomy itself. Are there different faxction developing in and around the National Security council, michael . Yeah, i think so. I think one faction is the steve bann en steve miller faction. Not just islam but china. That faction sees russia as an all lie. And then youve got another group led by matteson and tillerson. They see russia as a threat. And then you have trump himself, which seems to believe that if will are direct tliethreats, we should crush them. There are three different views and u. S. Policy together to reflect all three of those and how its going to wok. On that note if you look at Vice President s rivals are looking, theyre deeply concerned as an incohernt form policy. Whats your take on that . Were hearing instand messages. Its messages about russia and the future of the alliance. I think whats important to remember is that the person what they really listen, to the person that they focus on the are wording of the president of the United States.
