clapper, general clapper, has been in government service and the intelligence community for a very, veryme and he's tired and i think he also said in his statement that he didn't want to work one day past that transition office so i think general clapper is sending a signal that transitions and naming members of transition teams go way beyond just naming the names. you have to get in the organization, form a team, determine what your subordinates look like, get a feel for what is going to happen in that environment or in your particular organization and be ready to go on day one to accept any challenges that come across the desk. so what i think jen clapper is saying is i'm out of here on january 20, somebody better be here to take my place and it better not be a newbie, it better be an individual who has had a couple weeks to figure out where the bathroom is and where his closet is to hang his coat. >> let's hope more than that. general hertling, as always, thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> coming up next here, we have new details about what ple president-elect trump's immigration pl
