tonight, another round of confirmation hearings and another round of humiliation for democrats. they're just making fools of themselves every day across town at the white house. even more public shame for democrats. after a mumbling, bumbling, delusional farewell address from joe biden that no one, i promise you will ever remember, our dear friend stephen a smith called it sad, and apparently he now regrets voting for kamala harris. why didn't he listen to me in the beginning? i'll ask him in just a moment. but let's be clear, stephen a is not the only democratic voter with regrets. joe biden is leaving office with a record low approval rating. a vast majority of you, the american people, believe his presidency was a failure. it was. and today, he needed a lot of help just walking into a room. it's sad. it's humiliating. what a terrible end to a terrible four years. and tragically, his biggest failure will likely be felt

years to come as all of his unvetted illegal immigrants continue to commit murders and rapes and other violent crimes, and the known terrorists that he has allowed into our country continue to plot, plan, scheme and attack on our homeland. i pray to god that this never happens, but it probably will. the odds are very high, and when it does, the blood will be on joe's hands. kamala's hands, mayorkas hands, and frankly, all of the other law enforcement that turned a blind eye not to enforce the law. and i'm not talking about rank and file members of law enforcement. and meanwhile, trump has never been more popular. recent fox news poll showing a majority of americans approving of donald trump's transition. and that's not all one scorned by much of the corporate world. while business leaders are now lining up to meet with donald trump, donate big dollars to his inauguration. in fact, donald trump's inaugural committee is now breaking records with

donations from almost every major company in the country. it's a new reality. democrats, the media mob. they never saw this coming. donald trump, not joe biden, is donald. it's donald trump that is uniting the country. and needless to say, many on the left are not happy. this is their worst nightmare becoming their reality. apparently, 84 year old 20 term swamp monster nancy pelosi. she can't bear all the vapors. oh, she can't handle it. she's not going to be attending trump's inauguration. i don't think anybody will care. neither will michelle obama. according to reports, she has a very bad case of trump derangement syndrome and is so filled with hate she is refusing to go. does anybody really care? i know i don't. the trump team, they don't seem too bothered either. they are reportedly having a good laugh at her expense. and of course, no one is really surprised by michelle obama's behavior. according to melania trump,

this is very revealing. the obamas were not exactly helpful or courteous during the first transition to the white house in 2017. watch this. >> behind the scenes. what is it like when you're moving back in the white house? are you? what's different this time? >> the difference is i know where i will be going. >> i know the rooms where we will be living. i know the process. the first time was challenging. we didn't have much of the information. the information was upheld for us from previous administration. but this time i have everything. >> wow. now make no mistake, we are witnessing history. this was a historic political victory, perhaps the biggest in the in the country's history, and only made possible. and we need to stop and pause and thank all of you, the american people, the cards, they were absolutely stacked against donald trump. he had the deep

state against him, big tech, a weaponized doj, the media, mob, academia, all the democratic party, all tried to destroy him. after nine straight years of lying and slander and character assassination, he prevailed. and now americans of all different backgrounds, they are waking up. they are realizing they have been lied to by democrats. they have been lied to by the legacy media. they have been lied to by unelected bureaucrats, people that have abused power for years now. our friend stephen a smith even admits he was misinformed about the 2024 election. take a look at this. >> and i did not vote for donald trump, unlike people that suddenly turned around and kissing his ring and, you know, trying to trying to feign like they're suddenly a supporter of his. no, i did not vote for him. but i got to tell you something. i'm not mad. he won. let's call it what it is. there's a lot of people that won't admit this. i'm going to admit it. i was a bit

misinformed. let's call it what it is. and that pressure emanating from my community. i'm tired of it. i think that's one of the reasons you see me. sign up. patrick david alluded to that as well, talking about me. and they're right. they're right. >> well, stephen, a in just a moment, here's the truth. kamala harris might have been a better candidate than her mentally inept, cognitively declining boss joe biden, but she would have been a terrible president. she's far more radical left than joe. we pointed that out. very few people wanted to report on it. the legacy media ignored it all. they were all in on all things kamala harris. they never vetted her. and that's why people don't trust them anymore. that's why she was a terrible vice president. that's why she was not a good border czar, a terrible senator, and frankly, not a good lawyer, a prosecutor. and now, like so many other losers, you know, and far left lawyers, she's reportedly planning a new york

city lifestyle and cashing in on a book deal that probably few people will be interested in and likely to purchase. but according to, well, the ever giggling vice president, she is refusing to go quietly into the night. i would advise her to reconsider. take a look. >> as you all have heard me say many times, i am fully aware that i am the public face of a lot of our work, and so i have the benefit of running into people all over our country who thank me. and i will tell you, i am fully aware that when they are thanking me, they are thanking our team and our work is not done. and as you all know me because we have spent long hours, long days and months and years together, it is not my nature to go quietly into the night, so don't worry about that. >> she's going to move back to the community where she will

live in a community of people that share a community for the community's sake. despite all these words about herself, it is safe to say his political career is over. although i will say this, she has a very good chance of being california's next governor. she fit right in in california. now we just hope she can be unburdened by what has been. anyway, here with reaction. he is the host of espn's first take. he has a hit podcast. all right, well, why the glum face, stephen a smith? you should not have a glum face. >> because. because you called me. because you called me to rub it in, man. i mean, the inauguration is just a few days. you're gloating. i'm listening to you talk about the democrats. i mean, what happened to moving forward? you know, you're talking about the cognitive decline. again, you're choosing every opportunity to take a shot. what happened to moving forward, sean? what happened to moving forward? all right, i won't take shots. >> we have a rule, you and i, when i'm talking on my radio show or on this show about

sports, you never miss an opportunity to write me. you say stay in your lane when you talk about politics. what do i write? you stay in your lane. >> you stay in my lane. stay, stay in my lane. yeah. >> what is it that i really want to understand? i was talking about joe's cognitive decline before the 2020 election. i was excoriated for pointing it out. the media beat the hell out of me for pointing it out. what is it you know about now that your eyes opened up? i thought i told you about their policies failing. we showed everybody the border. we talked about the economy. we talked about war in europe, war in the middle east. we talked about their weakness in regarding america's position in the world. what part of my commentary did you miss? >> well, first of all, it was coming from you, so i'm inclined to ignore it half the

time because you know how i hate agreeing with you. that's number one. number two, i think that, you know, one of the things that's inescapable is that you talk about things. you talk about inflation. there was inflation under trump. you talk about spending. there was some spending under republicans. but in the end, here's what it comes down to. we looked at biden as a problem. you were supposed to be a transitional president. you ended up trying to run. you embarrassed yourself by going on the debate stage june 27th. what we found out post-election is how so many people on the left were a part of it. you know, when you think about and you hear about what biden's position is and how he and his family don't necessarily vibe with nancy pelosi anymore, they feel betrayed who they wondered about what they feel about obama. even though former president barack obama put out that very nice tweet about joe biden a couple of days ago, we see kamala harris and some of the things that they're saying about her now, and they weren't saying it before. you're hearing how and then you see the media, as you say, the

media. and what are people doing? they're jumping down to mar-a-lago to kiss his ring. they're trying to make sure that he's not going to be targeting them. all of a sudden you don't hear racist. now, you don't hear associations with nazis and hitler and all of this other stuff. you're like, wait a minute here you were sitting around convincing everybody and their grandmama that this dude was just completely unfit, the worst scored to the earth that you could find. and now suddenly that you find yourself in this position, it's not like you're michelle obama, who wasn't, you know, who likes not to be at the inauguration on nancy pelosi. instead, now you've got people kissing his, you know what? and i'm looking at that and i'm saying, oh, they're kissing. they're kissing the ring. they're kissing his. listen to y'all. >> that's how they're sucking on toes. i'll agree with you. it's pretty disgusting. people that didn't support him and probably will turn on him on a on a dime. but here's what you watched last night. you watched the farewell address and you said it is sad. and i inferred

from that what you were saying is you're sad because he is a sad figure. he is a shadow of his former self. and my question to you, you are very smart, you are intelligent, you are articulate, you're combative. i love you, however, why i played montage after montage after montage on this program. for years you have seen them. how did you miss it? how did you possibly miss that? >> hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it. well, let me answer. first of all, don't try that with me. i called joe biden out a year before the election. i got raked through the coals right along with you. when you got raked through the coals. i was right there. everybody was like, what are you talking about? you don't know anything. excuse me? well, it was it was like two, two years later. but the bottom line is i was right there the year before the election. okay. that's number one. number two, when i talked about kamala harris and voting for her, what i said is i didn't want chaos replicating what we saw in his first term. i figured you got the house,

you could win the house. you could win the senate. you'll have people that can literally position her and pull her to the center. and there won't be as much chaos because i didn't like the way that he acted. and that's all i said. i didn't have a problem with his position on the economy. i certainly didn't have a problem with his position on the border. okay. i don't have a problem in terms of him in foreign affairs compared to some of the things that we have been seeing and how that was handled. so there's a lot of things that we were agreeing with. i just didn't believe that that man was the right man for the job, because i said, the presidency is a statesmanship, is a statesman's position. i believe that somebody else would have been better. but in hindsight, looking at what has transpired post-election and seeing the level of the groveling or one minute or folks on capitol hill during these confirmation hearings and, and you're like, you're you're acting like you're campaigning. he won the election. and look at how they're still acting. it's all disgusting to watch. it's all disgusting to watch. >> okay, that's a fair point. and i think a lot of it is

disingenuous. i think it's insincere. i think these are people that want to always be close to power. could you imagine if, if, if kamala won and i asked for a meeting with kamala, first of all, she'd never granted. to trump's credit, he did grant it to people that he knows were not nice to him, not kind to him. i think that speaks volumes about him. here's what i want to know, though, because you feel with kamala harris, you believe that you were you believe you were misinformed. now we know her position on open borders. we know she said we should never use the word radical islamic terrorism. she said we should never use the word illegal immigrant. you know, she wanted free food, housing, shelter, health care, education, sex change operations for illegal immigrants. and she's for wide open borders. you know, all these radical views. i put together an entire file called the kamala, file her in her own words. okay, i. why were you

misinformed? you're one of the most informed people i know. >> i'm, but i'm talking about on the left. i know what your position is. who doesn't know your position? you're one of the most relentless commentators in american history. you will regurgitate the same thing over and over and over again. it's good. it's a compliment. it's a compliment. it's a compliment. you don't stop. you. jesus. i tell people this all the time. you're the most relentless commentator i've ever seen in american history. the same message on point. you never, ever stop hitting people with that message. okay, so i know your side on this side. i'm saying, okay, let's bring the country together. we've got some issues. i certainly don't like open borders. i don't like inflation. i don't like safety being an issue in the streets of the united states of america. these are things we have to fix, make no mistake. so if you got an abundance of republicans on capitol hill and you just happen to have a democrat in the white house who

ain't going to be chaotic, who ain't going to be a tweet in chief or something like that, then guess what? i entertained it, but that's how i felt about it. and in hindsight, i look at it and i say, listen, in the end, let me ask you, this is in office. he won. i'm not going to root against him, that's for sure. and quite honestly, i'm interested in seeing if he's going to live up to what he said. we're going to address inflation, we're going to address our borders. we're going to address safety in the streets of the united states of america. he's going to are we going to return to what you know or have a promising future like he has sworn will happen? i'm interested in seeing if he's going to live up to what he has built for himself. it's going to be interesting to see. >> okay, how come on this show, i was right about the russia collusion. i was right about fisa abuse. i was right about hillary clinton's bought and paid for dirty russian dossier. i was right about hunter biden's laptop earlier in my career. i was right about richard jewell. we were right about duke lacrosse. we were right about uva. we were right about ferguson, missouri. we

were right about freddie gray in baltimore. we don't rush to judgment on this show. we give people facts. and we told the truth about joe biden. we told the truth about kamala harris. we made nothing up. and all of the legacy media that for nine years has demonized this man, slandered this man, besmirched this man allowed, allowed the doj to be weaponized in ways that it had never been weaponized before. how come they do you believe their days are now numbered? because i think legacy media is now dead, and they killed themselves and they killed themselves because of a political agenda and dishonesty. am i right or am i wrong? >> i think you're closer to being right than wrong. i think legacy media is in a world of trouble based on your description of it. and i'm i'm not about here to dole out sympathy cards. there's no excuse for it. in the end, if you are in the media and you

pride yourself on being a journalist, the first objective is to know as much as you can. secondly, to be honest about what you know and you don't know, and you can be subjective in what you would like to receive. but ultimately you have to be an objective grabber of the information and make sure you're disseminating that to the masses. and what we've seen is people take an agenda, spin. you make sure the world knows you're not a journalist, that you're out here. this is who you feel you are a staunch conservative. these are what your beliefs. this is what you stand on. fair enough. if somebody on the left does that, that's fine too. but we have to. okay. go ahead. can i interrupt on that, please? >> go ahead. okay. i'm a member of the press, steven. a like you're a member of the press. okay? i can produce thousands of hours of straight news, thousands of hours of investigative reporting. we reported on kamala, in her own words, when the rest of the media this election ignored it. that is on them. they failed the american people. i give opinion, but i'm open. i'm up front. i'm a conservative. i voted for donald trump. i

didn't hide a thing. and then we talk sports, which makes you crazy. and culture woke. we talk about all of it. so i'm like an entire newspaper. they claim they're journalists. they're not the people of fake news, cnn, those those conspiracy theory peddling idiots on msdnc. they're not journalists. they are left wing, radical talk show hosts. you are far more honest on your worst day than they could ever dream to be. >> okay, but let's take into account and let's. i'm not going to get into your competition because you're always talking about msnbc and cnn. i'm not going to go there. what i will say to you that my competition and in no way yeah, you're right about that, but in no way defending anybody. what i would say to you is this the industry turned, if we're being quite honest with it, when it became profitable to turn that way. the reality is that that came up in the industry. you write for the newspaper industry, you're lucky to make

75 to 90,000 a year at one time. you're in radio a few hundred thousand dollars. now you're in a position where it's millions and millions upon millions of dollars out there to be had. and there's a lot of people in the media and outside of the media that have fallen for that hook, line and sinker and to be a pundit, to be a partizan pundit they deemed far more profitable. you bring up the george soros of the world and others, right? and how, you know, they funnel money for certain causes or what have you. well, who the hell do you think is getting some of that money? i mean, people are getting paid to disseminate opinions and things of that nature. that's not to say they're faking about what they feel, because if they have an objective against somebody else, they're certainly going to exercise that in to the best of their ability. but in the end, what you're pointing out is that it has done america a disservice, because let me tell you something right now, this is what i said. and i'm going to bring up the confirmation hearings again when i say this, donald trump, there's no way in hell that i think that the man is innocent of every single little thing. nor do i think

he's guilty of every single thing they've said. what i will say is this the man won the election. the american people have spoken. what the hell are you doing on capitol hill? acting like you're still on the campaign trail, talking about him like there are votes at stake. he's your president. now. you have to sit up there and say, i hope he does well for this country. i hope he does the kind of things he says he's going to do, i need to do to make our country better again. i hope those things happen. you can't be rooting against him because you don't like him at the expense of the united states of america. we have gotten to that point in our society where you have too many people that are doing that, and that's the real problem in america. that's what you're really talking about. >> all right. i'm going to make it my mission to somehow, one day hopefully bring you and donald trump together, not you making the move, i, i will i will be the peacemaker. the bible says blessed are the peacemakers. i want to be one. i'll say one last thing about

the media. the people that survive in media will be people that tell truth and you're one of them. you'll always do well. and that's why you're my dear friend. we appreciate you being with us. all right, buddy. all right, stephen, we love you. thank you. all right. when we come back, ron desantis, my governor, selecting ashley moody to replace marco rubio in the u.s. senate as the florida governor now readies to implement president elect donald trump's agenda. ron desantis and ashley moody next as we continue. >> touch can mean so many things, even for people with moderate to severe eczema, touch can make two feel like one or simply be a helping hand. dupixent can help you stay ahead of eczema as you stay ahead of eczema as you welcome the feeling of touch. to help heal your sn from within. many adults saw 90% clearer skin. some even achieved long-lasting clearer skin and fast itch relief after the first dose.

>> sean: thank god it does appear the santa ana winds have finally begun to subside in los angeles, the long road now to rebuilding, devastating fires is about to begin and with it, it needs to come with

accountability, why? instead of spending taxpayer dollars, there has to be accountability, there has to be changed in california so it never ever happens again. the democratic leaders of the city, the state of california, they have utterly failed in a lead up to these fires, that is undeniable that california's problems, they run quite deep back in 2023, they were all laid out in great detail right here on this show, when we had our state versus state debate between gavin and rhonda, here is a reminder of how that one, take a look. >> you almost have to try to mess california up, that is what gavin has done since he has been governor. is the first governor to lose population, he will tell a blizzard of lies to be able to mask the failures but the reality is, they have failed because of it's leftist ideology california does have freedoms, you have the freedom to in public and california, you have

the freedom to pitch a tent on sunset boulevard, this is a map of san francisco, you may be asking, what is this plotting? this is an application where they plot the human that are found on the streets of san francisco. see how almost the whole thing is covered, because that is what is happening in one of the previous to greatest cities this country's ever had. >> sean: it's simple but it sat california is in the past, florida, my home state is moving towards the future, governor rhonda has called the legislator into a special session, to consider new measures to work in tandem with the trumpet administration, on the issue of illegal immigration it is time for bold and strong action, also announcing today he has selected his attorney general, ashley to fill the u.s. senate seats soon to be vacated by marco rubio.

that brings back fond memories when you pulled that out of your pocket. >> i will tell you what, a lot of people remember that, they still talk to me about that, seeing what is happening in california shows the failures that we were talking about that night unfortunately, exacerbated horrific situation, it is the ideology that has kept up with that and as you said, that is the past way of thinking, florida is the future way of thinking, see another contrast and you and i have talked about the contrast for a long time, when donald trump takes office, he is going to be serious about the border and illegal immigration. california is a sanctuary state, l.a. is a sanctuary city, they will fight him every step of the way. in florida but we are doing is calling our legislator back in, we are not a sanctuary state, we

ban a sanctuary cities, but we have to do more than that, we have to require all of our cities, all of our counties to actively assist the president and his administration and enforce immigration laws, they don't have enough resources right now, now congress will appropriate more, is not going to happen so the states need to step up, i know tennessee is doing the same and i think you will see many others and you will see a huge contrast between a state like florida which is -- which takes it seriously. they want to work constructively , and a state like california you will double down on failure. >> sean: i thought it was maybe one of the greatest political jiu-jitsu moves ever when governor abbott started sending these unvented illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities and states, they are all in

favour of the illegal immigration but it did highlight the problem and look at how eric , who originally welcomed all of the illegal immigrants to new york city, has changed his mind, once he realized how expensive and how difficult and what a problem it was causing his state. but at least he acknowledged it finally. many -- i am glad you will work in tandem with the trumpet administration, i think every governor should, will that happen? >> yes, absolutely. we are going to put resources to bear, there are going to be a lot of things we are able to do to make an impact and i think you will see really serious positive changes, very soon so, shawna you have been doing this for a long time. -- sean you have been doing this for a long time. now is the time to put up or shut up, president trump cannot

do it alone, he needs congress to be supportive and he needs the states to step up and supplement their efforts. they can count on us in florida to our duty. >> sean: in a minute i will interview you, the attorney general of florida soon-to-be senator from florida, she has been a friend of this program, she's been on my radio program, i've always known her to be a rising star, i am sure it was not just ashley, maybe i was number 5000 on the list but ... i'm kidding. it's a great choice she has done a great job as attorney general. there is kind of a brain drain from florida right now. >> the pay cut for you would have been too big so i would not even consider you, so put it aside. ashley, if you look at florida's success we have been in the left

, the democratic party lies in ruins, we have taken on the big fight whether it's crt, esg, immigration, fighting biden, covid mandates, all of the things we have won victories on she has been with us every step of the way, she has been florida's iron lady when it comes to fighting illegal immigration as i looked at the records there is no squishing this on her immigration stance, she recognizes the need to enforce the law, she is going to be a strong voice up there helping to support president trump's agenda when it comes to border and illegal immigration and ultimately, people can talk and it is great when they come on your show and talk about things, but she follows it up and actually does it. that is something that is really important so we are going to be in good hands in florida, we have a lot of talent here, i think this is something that she earned, she is going to do a good job for our state and for our country. >> sean: i will say one thing,

people ask me all the time, i have lived in florida over one full year, they asked me if i'm happy about the move, there are people that want to make the move out of california, out of new york, out of illinois, my answer is always the same, it was the best decision i ever made. to encourage people and the difference is night and day, you cannot compare the two experiences. a good choice, we appreciate you being with us. joining us now for an exclusive interview is the next u.s. senator from the great state of florida, the state's current attorney general, ashley , madame attorney general congratulations. how do you feel about the appointment? what are your top priorities when you get to the u.s. senate? >> well it's certainly something i'm still trying to take in, is

going to be a whirlwind, i will be up in washington beginning this weekend, hopefully take that oath sometime monday or tuesday, depending on when senator marco rubio resignation is effective and he is successfully confirmed as avenue secretary of state, very excited for him he arc -- for him. how much notice did you give him? it has certainly been an amazing day, my family still adjusting and certainly we are making plans as a mother, we are making plans on how we are going to move forward and fight together. on behalf of our country and make our family work at the same time. >> sean: you are going to arrive and it is going to be freezing cold temperatures, i know because i will be there with you, for a number of days

in d.c. that part of florida, you will miss. my main question, the republicans in both the house and senate they have slim majorities, to me the agenda that the american people voted for, is the trump agenda, they want the border wall completed, they want the murderers, the terrorists, the cartel members, the gang members and people who did not respect our laws, they want them to part -- deported. they won constitutionalists on the bench, the one piece, they want the next generation of warfare, you completely agree with that agenda? are you completely on board with the trump agenda on those main issues? >> without it yet -- without a doubt. we have been fighting those specific issues together, i may be the first or only senator currently that has

served in the judicial branch understands the need for judges that rule based on the law, what they want the law to be. it's an important responsibility of the senate to confirm justices and judges that will follow the law, i am excited about that, to bring my experience as a judge and i am excited to get started, i was excited to secure the border and keep our communities safe and i am proud to get up there and work with president trump to get it done. >> sean: knowing you, i know you will do a great job. congratulations. senator ashley. thank you. when we come back donald trump's cabinet nominees, they continue to flip the script on democratic senators during the confirmation hearings, we have the highlights and we will get reaction, straight ahead. ♪ ♪

>> sean: all right another busy day of confirmation hearings on the hill as several more nominees took questions from radical left-wing senators, and for the third day in a row democratic senators were left completely embarrassed after being schooled by donald trump's nominees, yet again. take a look at some of today's highlights. >> i would ask you personally to read this economist magazine article, i don't think it's complicated. do you think that when so few people have so much wealth and so much economic and political power, that it's in -- that is a form of society? >> president biden gave the

medal of freedom to two people who were qualified. >> i think that will be bad for the economy, but it is going to be damn good for china because we are in a race with them. >> senator, just so we can frame this for everyone in the room, china will build 100 new coal plants this year. there is not a clear and -- there is not a clean energy race. >> senator on many different issues it is important not just to be working with the nations that we are the strongest aligned with, but to also be in communication and engaged in dialogue with countries that might be considered, competitors and our greatest out of the

series and right now china is an adversary in many respects. >> sean: here with reaction fox news contributor kellyanne conway, the cohost of fox and friends weekend, congratulations we are very happy for you. kelly and, an arms race for clean energy with china, now the new term, coined by biden last night about all the guards, maybe they were talking about the former first lady of moscow who gave three and a half million dollars to hunter biden, for no apparent reason and gave millions more for a real estate dale, is that what they are talking about? >> our next secretary of treasury handled it so well by reminding them that joe biden one week ago gave the highest

civilian prize to michael bloomberg and george soros but this is all a master class by all the cabinet nominees that president trump has put forward in how to expose your questioners as miserable and misguided and to take control of the hearings so people can hear and we can leave together these different confirmation hearings and get a sense of the america first agenda and action. the question from the democrats sound like they did not know the election happened and don't know what the results were, two, they seem petty and political and often personal, but our nominees smiled through it, answered and previewed energy dominance. reviewed housing crisis and affordability on the way. making sure that lady justice... here is what president trump did

in putting together his senior white house team and frankly this cabinet, he chose men and women who are prepared, you are principled, who are qualified but also who are great communicators and this is important because donald trump expects everyone to be like him, interfacing with the public at all times. so they know what is happening behind the scenes, when you are a public servant as i was, you work for the people and you heard in a cabinet hearing senators work for the people to. these cabinet nominees sean, none of them need to these jobs, they are doing it because they believe in the american first agenda, they know the country, they want us to have security, freedom, closed borders, everything. >> sean: by the way kellyanne conway, this may be the last appearance because

charlie will not talk to us. i'm only kidding charlie. they tried their hardest, i don't think they laid a glove on any of these nominees, charlie, your thought? >> i agree, completely. this is the new world, the new world in which trump is completely triumphing over everybody and it reminded me of what we saw on the election where everything is being thrown at trump, the american people got tired of all of it and i think some of it is supposed cabinet affect, -- is the post cabinet affect. he's talking about winning and putting forward these nominees who are all very serious people who bring to the table this marvellous experience from real

experience, they are not washington politicos, and they stand before the senators and quite frankly, i love that they were respectful, but they are standing in front of the senators and these senators are embarrassing themselves. asking stupid questions and sounding completely ridiculous quite frankly. >> sean: charlie, congratulations we could not happier for you, three and a half days, our nightmares over. when we come back donald trump names sylvester stallone, mel gibson, as a special ambassadors to hollywood, we will explain, straight ahead
