Minutes before podcaster Leigh McGowan went nuclear on MAGA commentator Ben Ferguson, the conservative was involved in another tense interaction with activist philosopher Cornel West. “All right, all right, Dr. West, everyone keep their hands to themselves now,” a concerned Phillip butted in. Continuing his point, West said it was a “rhetorical swing,” however.

A smaller NSC also typically concentrates leverage with the presidential advisers who remain, accelerating top-down decision-making while reducing the role of career subject-matter experts. By returning many officials to parent agencies and recalibrating teams, the White House is betting that a smaller, politically coherent council can implement priorities more swiftly.
