I'm John Batchett. Behind the Black, Bob Zimmerman joins NASA and the nominated administrator is Jerek Isaacman,

a very brave man who's flown two private missions with SpaceX equipment, done a spacewalk by him on his own,

and is enormously qualified as an astronaut, as a jet pilot, as an adventurer, as a billionaire,

and Bob, a very good evening to you.

There is talk.

What is the talk?

Good evening.

Well, the talk is on behind the block.

This is me.

I looked at the situation right now with Jared Isaacman and I suddenly asked the question

is his nomination as NASA's administrative facing political headwinds.

So this is my speculation based on my own personal experience watching DC Swamp operate for the

last 50 years.

And it generates from the fact that in the last week there has been a slew of

articles and actions within D.C.

touting Jared Isaacman to be the administrator out of the blue.

We had six governors write a letter to the Senate saying,

hey, let's get this guy nominated.

We got to have him.

What do you call it?

Jim Brightenstein, the former Republican administrative NASA during Trump's first administration,

he came out and publicly said, you've got to pick Eisenman.
