Mitch McCann is stateside. Mitch, a very tricky task on Capital Hell. Jd Vance is there. They're trying to get Sir Trump's cabinet confirmed.

Yeah, that's right, Good morning, Ryan. It's no secret Donald Trump has chosen some controversial choices. I think is fair to say for his cabinet, people like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He's accused of being an anti vaxer, Pete Higseth, he's a TV host on Fox News. He's been accused in the past of sexual assault. But perhaps the most controversial here is the now former Florida Congressman Matt Gates, who Donald Trump has lined up to be his attorney general now. He was investigated by the FBI over six trafficking allegations, including that he had six with a seventeen year old girl. He denies this and wasn't charged, but a new report from lawmakers investigator conduct is being kept under wraps for now. Gates is on Capitol Hill today with JD Vance as they try and convince lawmakers or senators that are going to have to confirm his appointment that he is good enough or he's credible enough for that job. It's going to be a tall order because people have already spoken out against him, but it would be quite the defeat for Donald Trump if he does get rejected.

Do you see many gang patches where you are in New York?

Do you see many gang patches where you are in New York?

No? Actually, And I was explaining to an American friend the other day or a British friend that I work with, about gang patches and they didn't even know what they were. And when I Google game patches, New Zealand was the first thing that came up. So I'm not sure it's something we want to be known for overseas.
