ved and is recommended as treasury secretary. goldman sachs and democratic fund-raiser, mnunchin is favored as one of trump's top campaign officials. mnunchin said this when asked by charlie rose if he would be treasury secretary. >> i'd be honored to serve this country and serve donald trump in any role that he wants me in. >> reporter: president obama who knows plenty about white house power and personnel would not echo criticism o appointment as a top white-r white house aide. bannon standed criticized as being anti-semitic. >> it will be up to him to set up a team that will serve him well. >> reporter: mr. obama had this to say -- >> federal government and our democracy is not a speed boat. it's an ocean liner, as i discovered when i came into office. >> president-elect has already

president vladimir putin during that call, he said he hoped to forge a strong relationship between the russian people and it's government. and cbs news has learned mr. trump's transition team is exploring how some of his kids could get top secret security clearances. the potential move is raising some ethical concerns. julianna goldman broke this story and is in washington with what she's learned. juliana, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, the sources tells that you the president-elect donald trump transition team is looking to designate some of his adult children as national security advisers that they be able to receive the top secret security clearances. now, even if it doesn't happen during the transition, trump would still be able to put in the request once he becomes president. looking at the rules here. th

but not to serve as unpaid or advisers. to put this in perspective, it's common for private citizens to get top secret security clearances, but family members are a totally different story. former intelligence and white house officials say trump's request is truly unprecedented, given that his kids don't have national security backgrounds. now ethics watchdogs are also sounding alarms, though. they say the fact that trump wants his children armed with access to some of the top secrets raises more questions about the conflicts of interest playing roles in the trump administration while also running the family business and whether they could use the intelligence for their financial interest. now, norah, last night, a transition official told reporters that the president-elect did not request this step. and that trump's children had not filled out any paperwork about security clearances. the official added, quote, it's not something i'm expecting right now. >> great original reporting. thank you so much.

and "face the nation" moderator john dickerson is here. as juliana reported this would be unprecedented for any children to have top security clearances. what do you make of it? >> well, the whole baskets of issues related to the trump family and the trump operation is really interesting. we just spent a campaign going through the connections between the clinton foundation and hillary clinton because there was a lack of transparency. there were muddy and fuzzy relationships d being sought by various people through various connections. so that seems all in play here. so whatever happens, presumably, if they want to drain the swamp, the relationship with the family and the business would be very open and above boards. or the walls between the two

>> that's what worries people, breaking through the norms. >> he was almost flattering, which was a remarkable turn around. >> president-ele obama said he not ideological. the flattery was the appetizer, and the meal was don't get ahead

place, and don't try to be too radical, and recognize you have to be slow in what you do. >> what do you think the point of that flattery was? >> to get the message across to donald trump, you know, donald trump's advisers said how they sought to speak through him through the television and that's effective and it felt like the president was sending messages to supporters first, and then to donald trump. >> and complimenting what he has done, what donald trump has done. >> yeah, paying homage to it. if you want to be politically crass for a moment, if he wants to criticize him later, he needs to look like he did not criticize him out of the box. >> he did not criticize the appointment of steve bannon? >> no, he did not say i will not talk about every single pick. >> and obama is living in washington for the next couple of years, and you will have a

in the same town. >> and president bush set a precedent not to talk about his successor, and is trump going to keep that? loyalty, and that's -- here's the challenge with donald trump or any presidency, and once you suround yourself with loyalist, you are in a cocoon. is loyalty a trump thing, do you think? >> in this case, it's not always a bad thing. especially when that is reinforcing people around you, john kennedy talked about this early when you get into group think. on the other hand, you need loyaltyists who may be the only one who can tell the chief executive no because he trusts him. that's where the family is super important. >> thank you, major.

core strategic relationships. and so, one of the messages i will be able to deliver is his commitment to nato and the transatlantic alliance. i think that's one of the most important functions i can serve at this stage, during this despite mr. trump's assurances to the president that he will stand by nato, europeans worry the outreach to russia means vladimir putin will have free reign to do as he polices. and there's concern historic agreements brokered with

jeopardy, and that's the nuclear deal and the climate change agreement, and so any suggestion america will retreat from global leadership concerns europe. ref crisis and the ully sure what preside >> all right, thank you very much, margaret brennan reporting from athens. dry weather and droughts conditions across the south are fuelling an explosion of wildfires. thousands of acres have burned now and heavy smoke is raising air quality concerns. dozens of fires are still burn north carolina income, georgia, tennessee and other states. mark strassmann is in the northern georgia down of clayton right now. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, all of this charring comes from a

school with jews. he's denied that accusation. as chief executive of the trump campaign, bannon was responsible for several attention-grabbing moments including this press conference with bill clinton accusers. >> he understands deal making and power, but his main role is the guy who keeps trump honest, keeps the flame burning and keep trump position somebody distintly outside the political >> in response to a cbs news inquiry about his connection to the alt-right movement, jason miller said nothing could be further from the truth. he's worked with people of all backgrounds and has embraced diversity throughout his career. it is true that bannon has defended the alt-right movement in the past. he's admitted while some white nationalists may be attracted to certain philosophies of the alt-right, he believes there are elements of the hard left that attract certain extremists as well. >> thank you so much.

senate foreign relations committee. he supported trump during the campaign and served on his national security canned a voiz ri counsel starting in october. senator corker is on capitol hill for his first tv interview sibs since the presidential election. >> good morning, good to be with you. >> you're the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee which means you'll be in charge of any selection in terms of approval of secretary of state. do you see giuliani in that position? >> we let this process complete. we know who the person is. it is going to be my job to lead the confirmation process. let's let it play out. >> what would you like to see in a secretary of state? >> obviously, the person who is best able to advance our

world. it's someone that has to deal with diplomats, but i think we see there's going to be pretty much of a change if you will under this president. so someone is going to have to have the ability and be in an environment where we are able to do that. this is the beginning. i know that people are just getting started. let's let this play out and i do look forward to helping in any way i can in t process. >> your name came up as a secretary of state candidate. have you talked to him about the job? >> i did talk with him to congratulate him. but we have had had no discussions about this. i'm reading the same thangs that y'all are reading and watching the same things that you're reporting. and that's up to them. they had a number of people that

that are looking at these things. >> donald trump's decision to make reince priebus his chief of staff. what are your thoughts about stephen bannon? >> i don't know him. i have never met him. reince just happened to be someone that i have had a number of interactions w had dinner with, spent a lot of time with. and i think he'll be a great chief of staff. the other gentleman, i have never met, i was listening to your reporting a minute ago, and learned some things that i have never known. so, we'll see. >> you didn't know that steve bannon was the head of breitbart and that breitbart and had headlines like that? >> i did know he was head of breitbart but i just never met him or had interaction with him at all. and learning as we go.

that president-elect trump is considering designating his adult children national security advisers so they could receive top security clearances. we also know they will be running mr. trump's large business empire. do you see a conflict of interest? >> first of all, it's my understanding that -- i don't know and i think you're reporting what you have heard. my understanding is they didn't actually make that request. they asked if it was appropriate. at least that's what one of his aides had mentioned. but my guess is, that's not going to happen. i don't think that's the norm. and so, that conflict, likely, would not exist. >> president-elect donald trump has spoken with russian president vladimir putin as heads of the senate foreign relations committee, what do you think of the relationship between the u.s. and russia under this new administration? >> well, let's wait and see. there are some things we have in

terrorism is one of those. on the other hand, putin has shown himself to be a brutal dictator-like leader. and let's face it, has worked against our national interests. i think it's always positive when leaders of two countries begin on a positive note. hopefully, there's something to build upon there. but obviously, mr. putin himself will have to change the way he deals with the world for that to be a constructive relationship. maybe with president-elect trump being in office, maybe that changes. >> all right. senator corker, thank you very much for taking the time to join us this morning. are your finances ready for retirements? that's a question a lot of people are asking. ahead, jill schlesinger shows some tools to help you. she's sitting there with bill o'reilly. bill o'reilly, are your retirement savings in order, sir? hello, bill o'reilly. >> he's pretending that he can't hear.

i pretend i but first, it's 8:10, time to check we start the day with a little fog and clout coverage, 62 with mainly sunny skies developing by late morning. 38 tonight, low 60s tomorrow, and here comes the rain on friday. it cools us down with some

bill o'reilly and james patterson say they want to bring civility back into the world. ahead, they'll share how they hope to achieve that with their new illustrated children's book. we'll have the title for you, too. you're watching "cbs this morning." ? red. fortified. replenished. with b vitamins, antioxidants, electrolytes plus more vitamin c than 10 oranges. why not feel this good everyday? emerge and see. the enamel on my teeth was weakening. the whiteness wasn't there as much, my teeth didn't look as healthy as others. my dentist said that pronamel would help protect my teeth. pronamel is giving me the confidence to know that i'm doing the right thing

why do people put milk on cereal? why does your tummy go "grumbily, grumbily, grumbily"? no more questions for you! ooph, that milk in your cereal was messing with you, wasn't it? try lactaid, it's real milk, without that annoying lactose. good, right? mmm, yeah. lactaid. the milk that doesn't mess with you.

? this could be my crowning this could be my crowning achievement. i could retire. i mean, i wouldn't. i'm going to work until i'm 100 and cut back to four days a week. oh, that one day off. maybe i'll go to law school or something. >> that's amy poehler's character, of course, in "parks and recreation" my son's favorite show. 69% of workers in a recent survey said they and their spouse have saved for retirement. but of those workers, 26% admit it's $1,000 or less. jill schlesinger shares important tips. good morning. 60% have no defined savings contribution plan such as a 401(k). how do we reboot if we're in this situation? >> well, i think the first thing is you got to step on the scale and see where you stand.

ballpark estimate. so choosetosave.org. it helps to you find out specifically where you stand. not where some objective weird thing is telling you where you should be. this is for you. you can also go ton the secured website which is fantastic that will tell you what to expect about your own future benefits. once you have that, then you start slowly. look, this is not easy. i get it, okay? we want you to at least contribute up to whatever you have as a company match. or if your own i.r.a., or roth i.r.a. plan just a little bit every single month. a lot of people see clarity around their 30s. they can put more money away. hopefully, 10%, 15% of their income. things get better in your 40s. you're trying to get as much as you can possibly swallow in your retirement plan.

few people get there, but, boy if you can try, it's fantastic. >> is social security still a reliable income for a retiree, do you think? >> social security is a pay as you go system. which means we've got a lot of people who are working and they pay benefits in for those who are no longer working. when you have more people retired than working you start to blow through all of that money built up. >> what do we have now? >> we still have a trust fund but it's going to be depleted. in the next 20 years or so, about the time i'm supposed to claim social security, the trust fund is depleted. here's what happens, only 75% of promised benefits will be able to be paid out. there are fixings to the program. no one likes the fix. you can raise the wage base. you can make people work harder. but that's hard if you got a

do your job or some combination. there are solutions. there will be some coddling together because people really like social security. >> so, i think that was a no? >> yeah. >> norah, that's exactly what i was thinking. better get a second job. all right. thank you, jill. >> thank you very much. one honoree stood out at a woman of the year award ceremony. ahead what rock star bono said about being included on a list of accomplished women. that's his family. we'll be right back. >> announcer: this morning's "eye on money" sponsored by voya financial, changing the way you think about retirement. y voya, financial, changing the way you think about retirement. . val from voya? yeah, val from voya. quick question, what are voya retirement squirrels doing in my house? we're putting away acorns.

be sure to ask your doctor to get tested for hep c. for us it's time to get tested.

? u2's bono made history to be hono women of the year. >> i know how ridiculous it is for me to be on this stage accepting this award, but if i didn't know how ridiculous it was, i did have the blessed internet to remind me. out of all of the women alive #bono is my favorite. it's just so inspiring how she overcame the adversity of being a millionaire white dude.
