JESSE WATTERS (HOST): Can you believe Pete Hegseth is going to be the next secretary of defense? So I had a hard time wrapping my head around it last night, and now I love it. And then, as I was wrapping my head around it, mostly thinking about how I can benefit from it, can I use this plane to go somewhere?

DANA PERINO (HOST): No.

WATTERS: No is the answer. I've been told that already. And then they hit me with Gaetz. And I'm starting to understand Greg's pirate analogy. And it reminded me of the '92 dream team. Remember, Harold --

HAROLD FORD, JR. (HOST): I do.

WATTERS: -- when they assembled Magic, Mike and Larry, and no one's ever thought about that before and now this is what you are looking at. You're looking at the dream team, they are assembling a constellation of stars, which I happen to know intimately. And I've never been this excited before. I'm so excited for this country -- not for me personally, although that's there -- I am just so excited for the change we're going to see in the next four years.
