All right. Listen, Charles, you wrote a great book. You made a great TV show. Thank you so much for having me on it. It's a story that needs to be told. I really appreciate it.

Donald Trump is still constructing his next administration, but he seems to be doing it the same way that that billionaire built that Titanic submarine, because it's imploding immediately.

Wow, this would be very sobering news for Pete Hegseth if he wasn't shit-faced right now. I mean... If HEGSF doesn't get confirmed, this is really going to make people question Trump's strategy of giving the most unemployable people on Earth the hardest jobs that ever existed. And honestly, I kind of feel bad for this guy. I mean, he had it made.

A cushy job on Fox News, a side hustle selling macho garbage on right-wing Instagram, a loving third family, and then... Trump comes along and offers him a job, and now his life is kind of up. I mean, who could have seen that coming other than Matt Gaetz, Mike Pence, Rudy Giuliani, Michael Cohen, and everyone else Trump has ever come into contact with? Hey, anyone heard from Herman Cain lately?

He's dead. Google it. And maybe one of the reasons why Pete Hegseth can't seem to extinguish this dumpster fire of his nomination is because more people keep throwing garbage into the dumpster.

Before you judge, yes, his show starts at 6 in the morning. LAUGHTER But he was still drinking from the night before, okay? So it's not sad. It's awesome. I will say it's weird that we're arguing about the drinking, because even if he was stone-cold sober, he's a TV host who ran two veterans' organizations into the ground. He's not qualified to run the Pentagon anyway, okay?

This is like saying, hey, yo, this cat can't be pilot. He has a drinking problem. Okay, maybe this cat can be your pilot. It's very cute. But you know what? This might be for the best. The first step to sobriety is your coworkers admitting that you have a problem.

And look, we don't have any hard evidence that Pete Hegseth was drinking before work, but if you watched his show very carefully, you might have picked up some subtle clues that he liked to knock them back. I've always wanted to do this. Oh, look at that color.

Again, this show airs at 6 a.m., but as Pete Hegseth always says, hey, it's 11 a.m. somewhere. So, Hegseth is losing the president, he's losing the senators, he's losing his coworkers. I mean, does he have anyone left on his side?
