Ed Rollins, how you doing?

Good morning, Mark. How are you?

Good. How would you rate the Trump transition so far? Doing okay?

It's doing great. It's been a very quick appointment of this cabinet.

We're down to where you've got Treasury, HUD, labor, I think of the only agriculture, the only ones that have left.

It's almost a record pace.

Some very high caliber people.

And I think the reality here is they got rid of a potential nightmare with guests stepping out and Pam

beyond stepping in.

She will be a tremendous attorney general and we'll get the job done.

And I think that's the key here. So before these people go testify for the confirmation,

what does it you do? You have like prep teams, prep them?

Yes, you do. You have briefings from the agencies and from people that around Washington.

There'll be senators who basically sort of take them around,

take them in their, sort of adopt them and tell them all the things that are going to happen.

And, you know, we now have the majority of the Senate.

So obviously it'll be a much more friendly environment than this has ever been in these modern times so I think there's a couple that you know Kennedy

and and the former congresswoman from Hawaii are the two that are going to be looked at probably

harder than anybody but I think at this point in time uh...

the problem that gets had is he was hated on congresses he was hated by his own

congressman and the former speaker who had ousted uh... was and i had an independent

against him and justifiably or not uh... would have been very controversial, both in the confirmation
