hour, kate, we are eyeing andy puzder. he's the front-runner for labor secretary. he's someone who is the ceo of the parent company of carl's, jr. and hardee's. he's also someone who is very against regulation, someone who is opposed to increasing the minimum wage, and he raised a lot of eyebrows with this recent comment, kate. let me read it to you. he says machines are always polite. they always upsell. they never take a vacation. they never show up late. there's never a slip and fall or an age, sex, or race discrimination case. so that's raising some eyebrows among democrats and also among some of the very workers who helped sweep president-elect donald trump into the white house. that is what charles schumer had to say. he said the labor secretary should be someone who wakes up every day thinking about how they can raise american wages and fight for american workers. mr. puzder's case shows exactly the opposite. so if, in fact, president-elect trump does tap him for labor secretary, there could be some fierce opposition. meanwhile, we're also paying close attention to mitt romn
