Tom Donilon

And if there's differences of opinion, take those differences.

Tom Donilon was exceptional at that.

And that he would...

Lead the discussion in a way that everybody got an opportunity to put their views on the table.

George Bush, 43, had Condi Rice first and then Steve Hadley second.

Exceptional people.

And then President Obama had Tom Donilon and then Susan Rice.

Yes.

They're lobbyists.

And Tom Donilon and his top advisers, they all had brothers and sisters and like wives and.

you know, that worked as lobbyists themselves.

Like this is not unique to Republicans.

The vice president makes the same case in the White House with the ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, and a National Security Council aide, Samantha Power.

But Gates and the national security advisor, Tom Donilon, argue against it, and so does Biden from the Capitol.

Obama orders airstrikes, and on March 19th, American and European warplanes start hitting Libyan targets.

The CIA believes Osama bin Laden is hiding in a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

We have a gentleman.

We're very lucky to have a gentleman called Tom Donilon at BlackRock.

who was national security advisor to President Obama.

And the wealth of knowledge that Tom brings to us and the sort of expertise he brings about like potential scenarios I should think about, how I look around corner has been unbelievable.

Under the Biden administration, banks could face greater sup- supervisory pressure to move away from lending to the firearms industry.

Again, do not forget that Tom Donilon was, uh, in that inner circle of the autopen.

He's also a BlackRock guy.

Uh, there were in fact five BlackRock guys at the very top of the Biden administration.
