. >> richard roth is with us, who has covered the united nations for decades, literally. richard, so your read and what you're hearing in the halls there? >> i haven't hurt the speculation that preceded me, but it didn't take long after nikki haley was in office that a major security council diplomat who sat with her at the table said she's a politician, and you don't often hear that from u.n. diplomats. my sense would be as people start to get the news is they think that she's got her eye on bigger dreams than the u.n. ambassadorship. she had just completed a very busy one month as the president of the security council, where she demanded all of the meetings of the council be held in the open, in other words, before cameras. that's not the way it's normally done. it did produce a lot of shouting and yelling and tensions with russia, and some say the u.n. should be more open, but a lot of diplomats felt things are best discussed behind closed doors. yes, haley was the rock star, to use that overused term, of the u.n. and it will be interesting to see who might replace her,
