| 0:00.0 | It's Friday. Thank goodness. It's Friday. |
| 0:04.3 | These are long weeks going through all this. It's like one big soap opera going on and on. |
| 0:09.5 | So expect the Treasury Secretary to be announced today. It was supposed to be announced yesterday, which means I guess he's decided. |
| 0:19.8 | But the Matt Gates stuff put that all on hold. |
| 0:22.2 | Matt Gates, the nominee for Attorney General, had to withdraw his nomination. |
| 0:28.2 | That's not unusual. This has happened before. Remember, Bill Clinton had two Attorney General |
| 0:32.2 | nominations. Both have to withdraw. First, it was Kimba Wood, too much flack. She had an illegal working as a nanny. She |

| 1:37.9 | chosen as Attorney General, Lifetime prosecutor, Florida Attorney General for years, highly qualified, worked all kinds of major |
| 1:46.1 | cases. So that's a no-brainer, easy confirmation. No way to stop that. And she's probably much better |
| 1:53.3 | at this than Matt Gates would be. In fact, here's some one of these MSNBC nuts saying, |
| 1:59.1 | this is a big threat. This this is this is the worst thing that |
