i think tillerson just cannot last much longer at foggy bottom. >> michael steele, i think the broader question here too is from the president's standpoint you've got this reporting that maybe he's not happy about what gary cohn went out there and said publicly. how much latitude is the president going to give people like gary cohn to say that? >> i think there's some. i mean, there's always a degree to which a president, any president knows that sometimes their secretaries are put in a sticky situation and how they answer that becomes important to the president. i think in the case of cohn he was very direct, he was very honest, and i think that may be something the president despite the reports he was not happy about it, the president probably begrudgingly respects as well. i think the other side of this coin, though, when you talk about the situation at the state department, it's a mess because that's how the white house has allowed it to grow. i mean, there are positions that haven't been filled. the secretary of state does not have the kind o
