and who better to be trump's eyes and ears than 86-year-old jon voight? laughter ] kevin sorbo must be devastated. he was not included. trump may be headed here next week. he is supposedly coming to california to survey the damage and call people names. [ laughter ] it will be good to see him, it's been too long. you know, all week, we have been collecting essential items for victims of the fires in our back parking lot. [ cheers and applause ] our staff donated a lot of this. hundreds, hundreds and hundreds of people showed up with diapers, water, foods, food and socks. our friends at diageo dropped off a ton of stuff today. someone even dropped off spam and funnel cakes. [ laughter ] which is a combination i highly recommend. and i do mean highly. when i say that. [ laughter ] today, we are delivering what we've collected so far to the hard-hit community of altadena. they lost 50% of the buildings in altadena. the devastation is hard to even wrap your head around. half the town is just gone. it's a very tough situation. but the people who live there are

also with us is a great actor, jon voight. he's great and a friend of mine.e is here. great guy. and i've got mel gibson, sylvester stallone and jon voight to become ambassadors to hollywood, california to put it back on track, so they are all ambassadors. you have to refer to them as ambassador, mr. ambassador. and a man who's got an army of young people, charlie kirk, is here, and i want to thank charlie. fantastic. i mean, this guy, don't believe this stuff when you hear the kids are liberal. maybe they used to be but they are not anymore. and i want to thank megyn kelly. she's been terrific. an billy ray cyrus -- and billy ray cyrus. and lee greenwood. what a song and what a man. by the way, these microphones, you see these? i so what are they doing standing behind me -- i said what are they doing standing behind me? you will have a special treat of the unity of the speech. i want to tell me because they will rush me off the stage. but you will have a special treat. i will tell you but let's put it this way. it's the people that 30 years ago had a hot son

>> well, first off, jon voight saved the declaration of independence so he can do anything.ave you not seen national treasure? >> come on, people, watch a movie. anyway, um, i don't know history, but i watch movies. >> that's a good one. >> look, i do think it's interesting. and i tie it to what we talked about last night with the la olympics. i think trump is trying to make a play for california, which is fascinating. he is spending a lot of time focused on the state. he went to coachella on the campaign trail. but when he talks about hollywood specifically and a lot of production going overseas, there's a lot of production that's moving domestically as well. you look at georgia, where they have incredible incentives and a lot of movies are filmed there. my home state of indiana just passed a tax incentive bill. so these these shows, tv shows and movies that are set in indiana can actually be filmed in indiana. and so why do you want to move? i know hollywood is where the glitz and the glamor, but there are some great places across this country where you can film as well. s

jon voight, who's great, and a friend of mine. and sylvester stallone is here. great guy. and, you know, i got mel gibson, sylvester stallone, and jon voight to become ambassadors to hollywood, california to put it back on track. so they're all ambassadors. you have to refer to them as ambassadors. mr. ambassador, and a man who's got an army of young people. charlie kirk is here, and i want to thank charlie. charlie is fantastic. i mean, this guy don't believe the stuff. when you hear the kids are liberal, they're not liberal. maybe they used to be, but they're not anymore. you got to see how many people are for us. and i want to thank megan kelly. she's been terrific. she's been really great. and billy ray cyrus and lee greenwood, wow. has he been troubled. what a song. and what a man. and you know, by the way, these microphones, you see the microphones. i said, what the hell are those microphones doing standing behind me? you're going to have a little special treat at the end of this speech. i don't want to tell you because you'll rush me off the stage. get off the stage

we've had the concepts we heard from a full vectors like jon voight at the moment behind me. steven bit coffee speaking . he's trumps. a special envoy for the middle east throne nominated as such, but he was part of the jewel administration team that's been working to set up that view between him us and israel in jingle putting opposed to that ongoing conflict. we'll be hearing from donald trump himself, the president elect in approximately hoffman. we are told, but he will be preceded and will be introduced by his vice president, elect, j. d. them was expecting, i mean, do you have any idea of what kind of speech donald trump is going to give this evening tomorrow? he's got his inaugural speech. that's something completely different. but tonight he is addressing his bases to addressing the people who got them elected in or sending him to the white house. is it going to sound like your normal trunk rally or is you got something different in mind? well he's got something different in mind because he's going to become the next president of the united states within the next 24 h

he announced that mel gibson, jon voight and sylvester stallone will be what he's calling special ambassadorsthe film industry. it's not clear what that will actually entail. gibson and voight's representatives have said that they are on board. stallone's reps have not yet responded. >> some troubling new statistics released by the american cancer society today. a study shows women under 50 are 82% more likely to be diagnosed with cancer than their male counterparts. that's up from 51% more than likely in 2002. the report also highlights racial disparities and outcomes. native americans are 2 to 3 times more likely than white people to die from kidney, liver, stomach and cervical cancer. black people are twice as likely to die from prostate, stomach and uterine cancer. >> it does sound the alarm that patients, everybody should be paying attention to the look and feel of their body and sharing with their doctors, if anything seems off. >> the overall cancer mortality rate dropped by 34% from 1991 to 2022, and mortality rates have dropped 70% among children under 14. a spacex rocket exploded mi

he named mel gibson, jon voight and sylvester stallone as special enavoids to hollywood.s go to britain, hungary, off the rail and because those studios offer tax incentives, this is part of plan using hollywood a-listers to do it. >> joe: put america first, that includes hollywood. it did lose its way some time ago. mystique and aura of being something special is long gone. we know this because animated film, "inside out 2" not sure you saw with brock, i saw it with my kids, that was number one movie of 2024, like going away in terms of box office growth. celebrities came out in droves for kamala harris and it did not move the lecture, ben stiller and jennifer lopez had zero impact. this is a shot at that, as well. hollywood needs to do business in the u.s. instead of outsourcing it like other countries have. donald trump recognizes this, symbolic move and it sends a message. let's make movies in america again as pertains to silver screen. >> todd: double back on something we did in the tease, make hollywood great again. carley forgot the g. >> carley: make america healt

russell jon voight voight will appear today. and kash patel is expected next wednesday, to coincide pam bondi as attorney general. on the legislative front senate passed laken riley act on monday to mandate detention of illegal aliens charged with crimes. that bill will go to the house which passed a similar bill earlier this week. that vote could pass today and be on president's desk soon. >> carley: -- steve from the heritage foundation. this big announcement yesterday has to do with ai infrastructure and data centers being built in this country. things that are tricky to understand. practically speaking, what does this mean for our future? >> it is a tremendously large investment in america winning the future. we've had talk in washington and elsewhere over recent years about strategic competition from china, supply chain dependency and competing in these areas. you have to have energy and secure supply chains to run these things and for america to be leading high-tech manufacturing export economy of the world, that has to co

for instance, last week, he posted, "it is my honor to announce jon voight, mel gibson, and sylvesterl ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, hollywood, california." that cannot feel good for other aging hollywood right-wing actors. kevin sorbo, your reaction? >> disappointed! >> stephen: he seems mad. he seems very mad. we don't know exactly what the next four years will be like, except of course, we completely do. because before even becoming president, over the weekend, trump launched the griftiest grift he has ever grifted. a trump brand crypto meme coin. now, if you don't know what that is, ask your brother-in-law, and get ready to take a pretend phone call. trump launched his meme coin on friday, and at an event called the crypto ball, featuring a performance by snoop dogg. snoop, how could you d-o-double do-this? this is a betrizzle! what happened to integri-tizzle? are you high? stupid question. the ball was to celebrate all the crypto bros who supported trump's candidacy, but as always, the guest of honor was him, because after dropping his new coin, it reached a pea

get this donald trump is named sylvester stallone, mel gibson and jon voight as special ambassadors to hollywood. so you've got rambo, braveheart, and the guy who was molested in a in the woods at deliverance. he says he wants to make hollywood bigger, better and stronger than before. no arnold schwarzenegger, no terminator. >> you know what's funny about this is, you know, trump is going to he's like, i've got a buddy here i need to take care of. let me make something up to give him a give him a little nod there. i'm waiting to see what antonio brown gets. just because if you follow him on social media, he's got some funny he's got some funny comments. but i was looking at this and i'm like, it kind of looks like the 1986 oscars. like it's kind of they're old. they're not young people. i don't know who they're going to reach out to. but the way i look at it is he probably had a really long list and had to narrow it down to who's not on the diddy list or the epstein list. and those were the three lefts, so that's what they get to do it. >> yeah. >> you know, andrew, i think what would

yesterday trump announced that actors jon voight, mel gibson, sylvester stallone, that they're all goingbe special ambassadors to hollywood. what does that mean? >> brianna, you and i can get out a dictionary. i mean, i would call this the remake of grumpy old men, but clearly, whatever that means, it means something to donald trump. remember, donald trump also named survivor, executive producer and celebrity apprentice executive producer mark burnett as a special envoy to the uk? what the special envoys to hollywood mean? i'm not sure. is there some sort of peace treaty they're trying to do? these guys, though, reflect how important hollywood is to donald trump, who i might add, was an emmy nominee as a reality tv host. so one of the things is we know that tru i a guy who always craves acceptance with the elites, with the bigwigs, and what have you. he's always wanted that acceptance with hollywood. you know, the man has a star on the hollywood walk of fame, and yet he can't seem to cut a break with anyone in hollywood, at least publicly. privately, i think quite a few executives and wh

garrett trump also just announced he is making jon voight, mel gibson and sylvester stallone specialhe disparaged in his announcement. what's happening there? >> well, practically speaking, chris, not much. i mean, these are three celebrities, three movie stars who have been publicly supportive of donald trump, who appear with some regularity at mar-a-lago and who have not been shy about expressing their support for him at a time where most of their industry has not. i think this is something of a reward for from donald trump to these men, and also a signal that he wants to kind of get back in the fight culturally here, including in hollywood, a place that has long been dominated by the other party. >> he says, these people will be my eyes and ears. okay. garrett hake, savannah sellers, thank you both. some sad news for movie fans. david lynch, the oscar nominated filmmaker known for his haunting and innovative style, has died. lynch's dark and surrealistic vision was on display in films like blue velvet, mulholland drive and the elephant man, as well as emmy nominated tv series twin
