world today to read that number and leap. we have never been in this territory before. a lot of people are saying with every hint of a vaccine and something promising down the road and the prospect because of those vaccines, we might be able to get out of this old virus funk and return from a world free of restrictions and limitations and shutdowns, it is not happening right now but again the market is a forward-looking indicator, isn't it? fox business, what we are looking forward to, hey, susan. >> neal, the first time ever, did dow jones industrial a entire year to get there after 29,000 at the start of january so pretty hard to come by and we only got here after a blow out month so far, best since 1987 and the best november since 1920s. here is president trump calling this breakthrough. >> this type of market has just broken 30,000. never been broken that number. that is a sacred number 30,000 and nobody thought we would ever see it. >> vaccine, more stemless and a nomination for the white house transition has wall street's optimistic. and that is where we benefit to reopen and return to normal. and airlines, cruise lines, hotels, gym operators big and the u.s. economy goes, oil stocks up in recovery, oil prices and also underperform ibm and visa, mcdonald's a lift today as well. in the meantime, crossing 30,000 bit coin crosses 19,000 for the first time in three years. and ever close to brand-new records and the reason for this year's big batman succumb adoption as more companies like paypal, square, robin hood allows to buy and sell. the currency and finally, it is good to be elon musk. tesla founders, the world second ridges, $128 billion and counting over bill gates and right behind jeff bezos. after 100 million, it is all the same, is in it? >> neil: you know, someone told me the interest on that alone on his wealth would be $1 billion a year at a minimum. just trying to deal with the interest. i'm sure it's a lot more than that. >> yeah. >> neil: without touching principle. that is like susan. >> or neil cavuto. >> neil: wouldn't that be nice. great job as always, susan li following the developments at the corner of wall and broad. and a way of connecting with the corner of wall and brought in the market itself. that continues to be present elect joe biden's pick for his cabinet. he's already about a third halfway through the process. following closely with big announcements just today in wilmington, delaware, haiti, hillary. >> hey, neil, today's rollout of all six cabinet appointees in many ways, homage to obama. six appointees served in some capacity under former president obama and lb are coming back to revamp the role. several picks are making history. the first immigrant latino in charge of dhs, the first woman to serve as director of national intelligence and even a brand-new cabinet position for climate. national security is evolving too endure president-elect biden and will cover a lot more than terrorism. >> you have also test us with reimagining our national security. to that combination of crises we face at home and abroad. the pandemic, the economic crisis, the climate crisis, technological disruption. >> more cabinet announcements are on the way. one of those pending treasury secretary. the biden team has not announced it yet but fox news its former janet yellen come it rare for wall street interest in progressive hopes to align, but this seems to be the case with janet yellen has treasury secretary and cheering that is, saying she is the next best thing to putting senator elizabeth warren in charge. they see her past against wells fargo and a sign she will keep things in check and reacting positively too, the markets, and janet yellen to reverse steven mnuchin to let the fed's emergency program expire at the end of the month. she is also expected to be a strong advocate for a fiscal support and someone who can work with the fed to address the $3 trillion looming national debt. neil come even senator elizabeth warren had praised yellen as the pick. she was on a short list for the job but clearly, no sour grapes they are, neil. >> neil: all right, thank thank you very much. and we will ask rand paul what he thinks of the picks in just a moment. i want to get to market reaction. and janet yellen, this press secretary but the reason for dow jones advanced and narrowly keep stimulus going. she has a big fan of that dating back to her days with bill clinton, and economic advisor in the fed chairman herself. so i'm wondering if that played to part of the rally, markets rally and i think everybody loves spending nowadays. so does that fueled this argument? we will see a lot of it, what you think? >> absolutely we are addicted to monetary morphine and the big scene after 2008 recession as we were coming out of it. as you remember janet yellen was confirmed with 14 republican votes as well. but not just democrats, bipartisan support. so this is not a far left progressive like elizabeth warren, which republicans had feared. yes, she will keep right for longer, but i think that bodes well for the stock market evident today over 30,000 on the dow jones, but a different chair, nonpolitical job. right now, the treasury secretary, that is a political position. but i do think it is the best hope that republicans could have treasury treasury secretary nominee. >> neil: when we look at this number with 30,000 plus in the dow and back in march for 19,000 come i can remember the article written we are going to 10,000, melting, melting, melting. look where we are now, it is a remarkable comeback. >> it is. we should point out fed chairman are very political. janet yellen was a very political chairman, not with the demeanor but what she did, she had the money machine printing all the time. she was constantly talking about the wealth gap, even though a lot of her policies were interest rates at zero and not pushing back against barack obama's text. but in terms of the market, neil, when i talk to investors, they are basically pointed to donald trump. and not janet yellen. janet yellen is icing on the cake right now. it is essentially a relief, part of the relief rally, so to speak that we didn't get elizabeth warren but someone reasonable and not some left-wing lunatic. but the reality of the market, the economy is a lot better because of the stimulus that donald trump pumped into it. the vaccine is coming around the corner because of operational warp speed which you have to give him credit for that. joe biden will be walking into a divided government, which will put a cap on the tax increases. therefore, what do you got left? janet yellen screaming to keep interest rates low, which she will do. that is net positive for stocks. >> neil: i thank you both very much on that. we have a lot more coming up, rand paul with quick developments here. and optimism over vaccines. and they were coming, they were coming. what if i told you one is already here and out and now? er? one call to newday can save you $3000 a year. with newday's va streamline refi there's no income verification, no home appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. it's the quickest and easiest refi they've ever offered. call newday now. lexus has been celebrating driveway moments. here's to one more, the lexus december to remember sales event. lease the 2021 rx 350 for $419 a month for 36 months and we'll make your first month's payment. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. ♪ >> neil: all right joe biden announcing up to a half of his cabinet picks right now. we are told more coming in the next few days. so he's moving at a pretty quick rate. and of course republicans in it for now, the selection could decide a lot of things in georgia. marco rubio has his doubts about a few of those. i wonder if rand paul feels the same way. the republican with us right now, senator, what do you think of some of these picks? would they pass mustard with you? >> we've had a democrat at the helm of the treasury for four years anyway so i'm not sure that will make much difference. with a standard whether or not you spend money like a drunken sailor, we are doing that anyway. i'm not sure yellen could be much worse. i would say with regard to foreign policy -- >> neil: steven mnuchin, you're not a fan of the leaders of the president? >> i see him trying to shovel money out the door and give away free money to people and that is not a conservative notion but a democrat and ocean. >> neil: with the blessing of the president, right? he didn't do anything the president didn't want him to do. >> that was directed specifically to him in negotiations with nancy pelosi. but i would say on foreign policy, i am very worried about there will be a shift and back to those who believe we should marrow to narrowly intervene abroad in a big way. you have neoconservatives on the right to intervene for geopolitical reasons but then liberals like samantha powers and others who want to intervene for humanitarian reasons but nevertheless they want to send armies and young men and women around the world. and i think a bad choice, blinken and i will ask if he apologizes from the iraq war and whether he believes was the regime change in the middle east was a good idea. it was not a good idea in libya or syria. i don't think biden or blinken have fully understood that. i actually do think president trump really did give a regime change. senator john kerry will be climate climate czar but it comes at cabinet level status and i'm wondering if it also comes with the approval of the united states senate. >> you know, i'm not in favor of czar so i hope we don't call it czar. i think they call it an envoy in the paper today. i think it is worth a discussion about climate change. >> neil: do you think that it means approval? i am in total ignorance. >> it does not refer to czar. until some of the envoys, they have to be approved and some don't. i think a lot of the special envoys don't have to be approved. when you send them to certain nations, they do not have to be approved. but the main thing, we shouldn't have anybody directing policy, creating policy or rules we have to live by that has not been elected or approved by the senate spirits are really, most things that involve legislation or legislative ideas, they really need to be legislation and not done by individuals. >> neil: senator, as you know, the gsa has given the go-ahead to get the transition process going and probably could not have happened without donald trump's blessing, which seems to be for joe biden and the joe biden presidency to begin november 20. but the vast majority of voting still done in person and mitigate potential for fraud in the future. so are you saying here the issue is that the president raises are legitimate and did tip the election in joe biden's favor and that the president was robbed a victory because of it? >> i think if we put our heads in the sand and say, oh, no big deal this is not like any other election. we are not being honest and good at pouring over the details to get to the truth. in every election we have ever held in this country, literally any election 99% of the votes or more have been cast in person. pretty easy to verify the person is showing up is voting and you have republican, democrat sitting at the desk. no one can stuff the ballot were much more difficult to do. when a written consent, much more potential for fraud. i'm concerned about what professor williams has looked at, professor miller from williams college has looked at when they did a random sample of 2600 republicans. what they found is significant percentage of them that they did not request a ballot and yet somebody counted a vote for them. and another significant percentage said they did request a ballot and they voted but it counted for someone else. so i think there is something that has to be looked at because if you extrapolate the numbers, he said as much as 100,000 ballots could have been counted incorrectly either through fraud or error, that ought to be looked at. we have millions of ballots and we've never had millions of absentee ballots. it is a mistake to just slop over this. i don't know what the conclusion would be but some people would say there is no evidence were biased to say they don't want to look to see if there is evidence they are. >> neil: so some of your colleagues, and others who have been saying, it is time to move on, mr. president. are you in their camp? or do you think he should concede? >> i am at the camp that if we push this under the rug, we will never know about this election but in the future w we will have elections just like this with the lack of legitimacy with half of the country or more. i'm worried about the election january 5th in georgia. i think if you have to -- see, they are saying we cannot check absentee votes appear they are saying that in pennsylvania, michigan and so the evidence of whether the vote is valid, throwing away the contest. if it doesn't have a postmark, how did it get there? it came from somebody's lockbox or storage unit, but if there is a postmark or signature, the signature apparently on another document. if we can't check all of those things, how can we check for the validity of things? it is why we need in person voting. you can have early voting but it needs to be in person -- look when in bowling green, we had a big huge gymnasium and we were in there for 3 minutes. everybody in the country is going into a place for 30 minutes or so. there is no risk to do it in person. we are transforming the election and something to police fraud. at this time and in the future. >> neil: a pleasure to talk to you. you and your wife last week were talking about the initial attack on you guys leaving the white house and that was on the heels of the attack of trump supporter's a weekend or a couple of weekends ago. now, i have come to learn that the u.s. attorney will not investigate who might have funded these protest and confronted you and your wife. how do you feel about that? >> you know, i think if our cities are going to be livable and if you want people to travel to the nation's capital, you have to make them safe. if the people throwing firecrackers in there and coming into the restaurant taking your food are not punished, then who will want to travel? right now we can't eat in side because of the virus and we can't eat outside because of the rioters. yes, they have to have law and order and arrest these people, but i think they should check the finances. what stirred me the most when i spoke to the assistant u.s. attorney in d.c. yesterday was basically, she said, there was not going to be in the investigation in pursuit of the people that attacked my wife and i. i asked specifically, did you look at their finances to see who is paying for their trip to washington and to stand fancy hotels? she would not indicate whether there was an investigation or not. she said nothing is being pursued at the moment. so this doesn't trouble me. it leads to more chaos and many people will respond and say, look if you will not investigate people attacking a senator, what about ordinary citizens? do they care at all? do they care that people go to restaurants anymore? our big cities have to have law and order or they will be run. >> neil: senator, we will see what happens. an uphill battle right now. rand paul, thank you. have a great thanksgiving. in the meantime, we talk about vaccines coming down the pike here appear there is her treatment. i guess they are not out, but a vexing treatment that is out and immediately getting released. jennifer griffin has the details at the pentagon, jennifer. >> neal, some really positive news today about vaccines and therapeutics regeneron pharmaceuticals received u.s. government approval for emergency use of antibiotic treatment just three days ago. here is hhs secretary alex azar. >> following fda's authorization of regeneron antibody cocktail this past weekend, we began distribution of the first 35,000 doses of that product today. >> this is the same treatment that president trump received last month. on saturday the fda agreed to allow emergency room don't make use of regeneron mild-to-moderate symptoms at high risk of developing seriouse to underlying age and condition. and hospitalized patients or those who need extra oxygen. cdc robert redfield told dana perino vaccinations will begin next month. >> it is exceptional that we have these vaccines. it is very exciting. again it reinforces why i want vigilance. because we are turning the corner now and you don't want to be the last group to end up getting covid because a vaccine will be ruled out probably by the end of the second week of december. >> redfield said the cdc will have 40 million process before the end of the year and up to 20 million people but the general public will have access to the vaccine by march he says. the u.s. government has purchased the agreement up to 300 million doses of the astrazeneca vaccine for americans. >> we now have three vaccines. three more vaccines in active study. five therapeutics now. are authorized or approved by the fda. >> the fda will meet on decembee results of these recent trials. if all goes well, operation warp speed to begin faxing distribution within 24 hours of authorization. secretary as lazar said cbs health expects to vaccinate ress of nursing homes 48 hours after authorization, neil. >> neil: very promising indeed. jennifer, thank you very much. jennifer griffin pulling all of that out. dow, 30,000 but are we seeing a lot of green because -- well, we are looking at the green of the environment? and the dollars we are spinning? could the environment come over the environment actually be helping the stock? after this ♪ sofi made it so easy to pay off my student loan debt. ♪ they were able to give me a personal loan so i could pay off all of my credit cards. i got my mortgage through sofi and the whole process was so easy. ♪ choosing sofi was literally one of the best decisions i could have ever made because it gave me peace of mind. ♪ >> neil: here is the good news on covid if you are eating out. they will test you to make sure you are okay. here is the bad news, it will set you back $50. still plan on eating? we will get your thought after this. to save you up to 60%. these are all great. and when you get a big deal... ♪ ...you feel like a big deal. ♪ priceline. every trip is a big deal. ♪ you can count on me ♪ i'll be home for christmas ♪ if only in my dreams ♪ ♪ >> for the first time ever, there will be a principal on the nasa security council to make sure climate changes on the agenda in the situation room. for the first time ever, we will have a presidential envoy on climate. >> neil: all right joe biden calling in the presidential envoy. others are saying he will be the claimant change czar but john kerry is backing action with former presidential candidate and under barack obama back in the fight to get the whole green new deal in. in trillions of dollars worth of spending that comes with it. steve moore is excited about the process and endorses this move. all right, maybe not. steve, what do you think here? one of the things we know is we will be back in on this but that means back in on the lion's share of this. the president quit back in 2018 because we were paying disproportionate share of the chinese and the country of india and we are escaping that. >> that is right, neil. i think one of donald trump's wisest decisions which really did put america first was pulling america out of this anti-america paris climate accord appear that is obviously one of biden top priority to put us back into that deal. what has really changed over the last ten years that nobody expected is that we saw this incredible boom in the shale and oil gas industry with lower cost has become superabundant in the united states. what frustrates me is the other thing that trump did that i think is one of the reasons he will go down as a great president is for the first time in my lifetime, we became energy independent. we have been producing more oil and gas than we have been consuming for the first time. so we are not captive to saudi or opec nations or to russia for that matter. and it just doesn't make any sense to me to move away from those great energy sources that are cheap and abundant and made in america, but it looks like that will be one of joe biden's top priorities. >> neil: you know, i'm not going to say anything profound but over the years we have chatted. i know elections have consequences and the president is fighting the outcome come i get that, but he reversed or tried to even with indicative orders congress was not moving fast enough. everything, and under barack obama, very clear some of these early moves and planned executive orders under joe biden will do the same whatever donald trump is doing. it's got to confuse the world, right? it is one thing. these are not minor adjustments. these are 180s. >> welcome i think that is rig right. joe biden will reverse the positive things on health care, deregulation. you mentioned the paris claimant accord, the iran deal. what is going to happen with that? i'm not a big fan, by the way of legislative executive action. we do have a legislative branch, congress, and this is governed by executive order and sort of putting these powers in the hands of the executive branch that belong with the legislature. but you know, trump's record on economy has been really nothing short of spectacular. i was listening to your previous conversation about dow 30,000 and that is pretty amazing what we have been through this last year, neil. when you think about a pandemic, a flattened economy the first half of the year. all of these businesses struggling. now we have this vaccine. i really think trump is going to be going out on a triumphant note. >> neil: to you ever your heart of hearts, that you can wonder about the timing of these faxing announcements that came out the week after the election, now dow 30,000. had we seen that before the election, do you think it would have been a different outcome? >> i don't think that if there were any question, i don't think any question donald trump would be elected by a pretty wide margin. because of those two developments a vaccine which is a miracle, nine months to develop a vaccine. the second thing is we got the monster -- >> neil: many turned away from the president because they turned away because they didn't think he was doing a good job on the virus. do you think in the end in retrospect had he been more aggressive about the masking and everybody being on the same page that he would have another four years? >> i think that the news that we have seen in the last few weeks has been extraordinary. i think people are upbeat. by the way, working on the economy, even the majority of biden voters said trump would be better on the economy. i think trump, what tripped him up was some of his behavior and actions that rub people the wrong way. but i'm very proud. i have to say i'm proud of the job the president did on the economy and i've been a small part of it. i think as the months roll on, people will look back and say, trump would have made a big difference having a business man in office who knows how to grow an economy and great jobs. a boy, did he do it. he built the economy twice, twice! >> neil: it is what it is, as you say. and i think people can say -- >> very tiny role. we don't even need economic advice. he knew what he wanted to do. he had great instincts on the economy. >> neil: i think you sell yourself short, young man. >> thank you. >> neil: steve, my friend, we will never know dow 30,000 in some of the promising vaccine news before the election. just one of those things. what would it change? would it have changed the outcome? stay with us. can now save $3000 dollars a year with the va streamline refi. at newday there's no income verification, no appraisal, and not a single dollar out of pocket. one call can save you $3000 a year. %g8 ♪ únn: may your holidays iaéx@t glow bright and all your dreams take flight. visit your local mercedes-benz dealer today for exceptional lease and financing offers at the mercedes-benz winter event. ♪ irresistibly smooth chocolate. to put the world on pause. lindor. made to melt you. by the lindt master chocolatier. some things are good to know. like where to find the cheapest gas in town and which supermarket gives you the most bang for your buck. something else that's good to know?

the read from rebecca heinrich, senior fellow there. it does get lost in all of these issues we discussed my right, rebecca, what is happening in the market and the virus and the vaccine promise, but in the middle east, it is like peace is breaking out. what is happening? >> the trump administration really has not gotten the credit it deserves for foreign policy generally, neil. i would say what we are seeing now with this meeting unprecedented meetings between benjamin netanyahu of israel and the prints and orchestrated by the united states, mike pompeo is it destroys this myth come a couple of different myths, when the united states has not been leading when president bush was president or president trump has been president and the second myth is that the united states is not working with its allies. both of those things are not true, which really has been two major approaches to the middle east to make conditions conducive to these breakthroughs, these peace breakthroughs between arab states and israel. the two things are defending israel and our arab partners and countering the major threats, preeminent threads in the region which is iran. those two things have brought some really great progress for relative peace in the middle east. >> neil: obviously, israel will have -- i wouldn't go more tense but certainly not as friendly of a relationship with the president joe biden and certainly benjamin netanyahu with large conservative government with his presidency. but i'm wondering what will change, do you think? as far as our posture with the country? >> a few different things. you know, i think there has not been a recognition of the successes of the trump approach and that is to our shame. i think that president-elect biden has in the past called saudi arabia a nation that has gone after saudi arabia on human rights. and not to say that saudi arabia doesn't have human rights problems, but if you are looking at this thing more realistically and power politics, what is more conducive to peace which helps human rights and decreases human suffering and warfare? some of those things have to move to the backstage. and so i think that is going to change. and then also, you have the people who are going to make up the cabinet in a biden administration who want to rejoin the iran deal. getting out of the iran deal has helped isolate and take away the resources for the iranian regime to disrupt the middle east and to fight terrorism. so unless something major late changes in the outlook of joe biden and his advisors come i'm afraid a lot of this great progress will be undone, neil. >> neil: you know, you mentioned what is happening now and the tone that could change. i tend to look at things through the prism of money and all of that stuff. it is a shame what i do for living, but one of the things that i was watching was with the administration, the incoming administration's view of fracking. in some of the energy and dependence because of pushing fracking and now the largest producer on the planet. that could get compromised under the new administration and maybe make us more reliant on the very same people that we have become independent from on this front. i'm wondering how that plays out. >> 100%, neil. i thought during the second debate between biden and trump and biden was defensive about his position for ending fracking. i thought that was potentially going to undo him in pennsylvania. it is not just pennsylvania, of course, that rely on that industry but many states are. and it is also a cornerstone to a strong america, sovereign america that allows the united states to have less dependence on these other nations troubled parts of the world. it gives the united states more freedom to decide when and where we act in the world. so i definitely think that is an issue not just for foreign policy in general, but of course for market. for our economy. so that is going to be something very troubling. and i hope, of course, as they get in there and intelligence briefings and that kind of thing that reality will nudge them and some of these things will change. i'm not very optimistic the administration will go on fracking. >> neil: i like that line, reality with nudging. have a happy thanksgiving. >> thank you so much, neil, have a happy thanksgiving. >> neil: rebecca heinrich. in the meantime, we are told how many people will be home for thanksgiving. but nobody says anything about how we leave the house after to go shopping. thousands of people crowded around us, that is fine. after this. got to hand it to you, jamie. your knowledge of victorian architecture really paid off this time. nah, just got lucky. so did the thompsons. that faulty wiring could've cost them a lot more than the mudroom. thankfully they bundled their motorcycle with their home and auto. they're protected 24/7. mm. what do you say?

>> neil, does just $50 for the covid test, but you get a glass of bubbly's too. possibly a glimpse of what the future of indoor dining could look like. the winery in chelsea right now, the first restaurant to mandate patrons to take $50 rapid covid test. neil come i will admit, i actually had to take the test twice today. the way it works and nasal swabs that they put up your nose, wait 15 minutes and if it test negative, you can come in but if it test positive, unfortunately they turn you away. while waiting during that 15 minute period you get a nice glass of bubbly but i was a part of the dry run. overall this is an example how restaurants could be moving forward. they want to ensure safety. the owner said they are sold out today and tomorrow. with 1,000 restaurants, neil, shut down since the pandemic since march, you can understand a restaurant like city winery wants to stay ahead of the curb and keep everyone safe. so luckily i did not penetrate the bubble and we are all good. we are good. >> neil: that is an interesting idea. the winery founder and ceo, thank you, christina. what reaction are you getting from customers? >> it has been mostly positive and certainly there are some people challenging the legitimate feel of what we are doing questioning the type of testing we are doing and also frustrated that we are forcing a $50 charge before we come in. and let's be clear. we are doing this for two days a week to pilot the concept. we are only doing this as a bridge to a time when the vaccine is in enough people's arms and we can have indoor dining again safely. but we didn't see any alternatives if we are to survive over the next four to five months in a cold new york season where people are reluctant to be eating outdoors anymore. to go to this next level of safety. and of course -- >> neil: you come into the restaurant, michael, just to be clearer. you would give me this rapid test and i find out the results in 15 minutes. you give me a glass of wine, i guess. do i drink it outside and am i allowed to drink in your restaurant? what am i doing? >> you cannot come into the restaurant until you are tested negative. locally, with our new facility on the street highway, we have a winery space that is serving as an intermediary from the street into the restaurant. and so we are using that as testing space. every 15 minutes, we are testing ten customers and coming in, the doctor and the nurse are doing the test. they wait to get the bubbles. 6-foot's separated tables when they get the results and then they are able to go in. so no one inside to. >> neil: what is the reaction of people that test positive? >> well, we haven't had anyone yet. tonight is our first night. we have not had anyone test positive. the antigen test apparently have more false positives than they do negatives. they are very good to come in 99.9% of the negative test side but on the positive come about 90%. so we are expected a few positives this evening. then the doctor will get the test, which takes 24 hours for results and won't let you in. but then if you are positive come it is a really good that you got the test. it in a specially is why testing is really important thing to be doing so we can beat down the virus. >> the ones, that test positivea voucher to come back, once you are negative? >> yeah, look, we don't want to turn anyone down. we actually don't want to be charging people money for this. we would prefer to have us back to the way it was. that is not the reality. the harsh reality of about six months to wait may or june when the vaccine will be deployed to. we have to survive to that point. this seems like a safe way to go. >> it's not a bad idea. it might ruffle some feathers. but it keeps your staff say as you say. the customers are safe so it might be a win-win come with a $50 thing. maybe if you drink enough wine. so michael, we will see what happens. thank you very, very much. michael, the city wine founder and ceo appear they are not the only ones battling with this. a lot of restaurants to make customers feel like where they are eating, it is safe. a safe zone and the test to prove it. again, the dow jones industrial is over $30,000, indication right now the more promising talk which by the way could remove requirements of tests like that, the better things look. here comes "the five." ♪ >> juan: don't ask before i am greg gutfeld, jesse watters, juan williams, dana perino, "the five." hear that gurgling noise like something sucking on the pacifier, that is the media on joe's cabinet. >> these are also serious qualified individuals. and it's not going to be political. >> they are not political this is the least flashy esteem you could possibly get. they are deeply experienced. they are humble, and they are
