KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE (CO-HOST): Big history made here with Hillary Clinton being able to have the number of delegates that she needs to get the nomination, what are your thoughts and reflections? 

DANA PERINO (CO-HOST): I think that as we've been saying this day was coming. It just took her a lot longer to get to this point than she would have liked because of Bernie Sanders' very good campaign, it kind of surprised them, and he vows to continue, and in the history of the Democratic primary no Democratic nominee has said I'm going to take it to the D.C. primary on June 14th and beyond. It was eight years ago today, Kimberly, that Hillary Clinton gave that speech about the 18 million cracks in the ceiling. It took her eight years longer to break through than she anticipated. But certainly it's a big, historic day for her, for America and for the world. The first woman to be a presidential nominee, a presidential candidate. Now the hard work is going to be winning the general election if she thinks she's had it hard the past year with Bernie Sanders, I think Donald Trump will give her even more run for her money this coming November.

GUILFOYLE: Yes, and she's already gotten a taste of what that's going to be like indeed. Greg? 

GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): Can I question the historical value of this? It comes off to me as really drab. When you think back to 2007, with Barack Obama and you know, this was the historic event, but with Hillary, it doesn't feel that great. It doesn't have the glory. It's like you won a trip on Wheel of Fortune and it's to Venezuela.

It's funny, there isn't the joy of this moment because she's -- if you took away that one thing, the historical, you don't have anything. 

GUILFOYLE: Do you have a question? 

ERIC BOLLING (CO-HOST): Yeah, you take away Barack Obama being the first African-American and you still had a really exciting candidate. You take the first woman nominee away and you still have Hillary Clinton, who you're like, eh, it's kind of boring.
