And yeah, we're making fun of Elizabeth Moore and they're not Native Americans. Alrighty, so let's talk about what just happened in Washington, D.C. yesterday. So President Trump, in a shock move, decided to fire Mike Waltz, is what it looked like originally. And a bunch of people were celebrating this. Mike Waltz is the National Security Advisor, or was the national security advisor.

Obviously, Mike Waltz had been under severe fire since this signal chat screw up in which he accidentally included the Atlantic journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, who President Trump then gave an interview to. Again, not sure why that happened. In any case, it was a screw up. There's no question it was a screw up. The question was how long Waltz would last over at NSA.

91.783 - 111.48 Ben Shapiro

Well, yesterday it was announced that Waltz would no longer be at NSA and cheers went up from the anti-Waltz kind of anti-traditional Republican isolationist wing of the Republican party. And then it was announced that Marco Rubio would become the temporary NSA and Waltz himself would be moved over to the role of UN ambassador, a role that originally Elise Stefanik

111.9 - 127.915 Ben Shapiro

the congresswoman from New York, had been nominated for. But when it became clear that the Republican majority in Congress was under threat, she was sort of removed from that nomination. So Walt is moving from NSA over to the U.N. ambassador role. Rubio is now serving in four positions simultaneously.

128.195 - 146.464 Ben Shapiro

He's the Secretary of State, the National Security Advisor temporarily, the acting head of USAID, which of course is basically getting zeroed out, and the official archivist of the United States government. So he's like that kid in your third grade class who is simultaneously the... the secretary of the student government, as well as the vice president and the treasurer.

146.524 - 160.309 Ben Shapiro

That basically appears to be what's happening with Rubio. Now, there's still a lot of questions about what happened here, because people are interpreting this as a proxy fight inside the Trump administration over the direction of foreign policy more generally. And that's absolutely credible.
