00:00to President-elect Trump and his latest appointees.
00:04These appointees don't need Senate confirmation hearing.
00:07They've already taken the position,
00:10and they're going to be ambassadors to Hollywood.
00:14So that's...
00:15And boy, what a sea change this is.
00:17Yes, that they're...
00:19Now, clearly it's not a real ambassadorship,
00:22although maybe Trump thinks it is.
00:25The three people he's appointed,
00:27Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson, and Jon Voight.
00:31Now, what does the ambassadorship mean?
00:33There are things that it's clear
00:35Trump would like to see change,
00:37and he thinks that these three gentlemen can do that.
00:40In his announcement, this is what he said.
00:42It is my honor to announce Jon Voight, Mel Gibson,
00:44and Sylvester Stallone to be special ambassadors
00:46to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, California.
00:51They will serve as special envoys to me
00:53for the purpose of bringing Hollywood,
00:55which has lost much business over the last four years,
00:58to foreign countries back,
01:00bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.
01:03So this...
01:04Now, that is true.
01:05Hollywood's lost a lot of business.
01:06And not, by the way, the one thing Trump's wrong on
01:08is it's not just foreign.
01:10It is Georgia. Other states.
01:12It is now Kentucky and Texas. Texas.
01:15It is so hard to make a movie or a television show
01:20in this state because it is overregulated.
01:24And I'm telling you, we live this.
01:26And it is an overregulated state.
01:30But what's interesting is this does put Donald Trump
01:35and Gavin Newsom in an octagon here.
01:38But what can he do?
01:40And I get the idea.
01:41And my take would be that it has gone too liberal
01:44and too woke.
01:45And I know Hollywood, it represents the makeup of Hollywood,
01:48but not necessarily the country.
01:49But these are private companies in many cases.
01:52I mean, what can any of these actors
01:54or Donald Trump actually do?
