i think raul was more progressive than fidel.nd now that raul is a bit unshackled by fidel, who was probably saying to him, you can't liberalize, you can't change, that he will move in the direction of letting people be freer, or having fair elections. this is obviously in contention what i just said. but i sense something about raul that says he is going to modernize the country and that his brother was kind of holding him back. >> okay. very quickly, your take on nikki haley, trump's pick for your old position there as the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. >> well, on the good side, she's a governor. she has political stature. i think what you want in those jobs is somebody that is perceived to be close to the president. she's been an executive. the down side is, foreign policy. she has no experience. when you are u.n. ambassador, you are a member of the cabinet. you have to be in the national security meetings. she has to bone up intensively. obviously, foreign trade missions that she's taking are not going to be the norm for a u.n.
