With Commerce Secretary Gary Locke being appointed as the U.S. Ambassador to China, rumors circulate that former Google CEO Eric Schmidt is in line for the cabinet position. The hosts argue that Schmidt's background in data and intelligence makes him a candidate for higher-level security roles, viewing the Commerce post as a stepping stone into the federal "mill."

President Obama signed a memorandum delegating his authority to certify missile technology exports to China to Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke. This move bypasses a 1999 law requiring the President to personally notify Congress 15 days before such exports. Critics point to Locke's history as a lobbyist and the potential for sensitive technology transfers to the People's Republic of China.
