a number of names have been bandied about. john bolton, elliot abrams, haas.e not told who the number two would be who could have a lot of control over the state department. >> that's right. that's what the hearing process is all about. there are serious questions that i hope to ask mr. tillerson about his ties around the world, his relationships in russia, about exxon's role in denying climate change. i think those are all appropriate questions and he will have a chance before the senate foreign relations committee to lay out the case for why he should be the secretary of state despite some of the conflicts that he's got around the world. >> as more and more has been reported especially by nbc news, in fact, on vladimir putin's role in the hacking and the leaking of the democratic e-mails, are you concerned that the administration, the white house didn't take a stronger position, a more public strong position about this before the election? >> i called on the foreign relations committee and the senate to hold a hearing on the allegations of russian interferen

two people familiar with the discussion said you guys are bandying about the idea perhaps that he mighte traditional congressional luncheon that follows and wade into the crowd, join the parade. are we going see that? >> well, there are a lot of rumors out there. i wouldn't trust any of those rumors unless they come from the presidential inaugural committee or the president-elect himself. >> and it's great we have somebody from the inaugural committee on the show this morning. break the news for us. >> we're very excited about this inaugur inaugural. it's a historic moment, a moment of peaceful transition of power. >> come on, boris. why are you here, man? >> we woke up at like 2:00 in the morning. give us some news. >> you're not giving us anything. >> i'm here to talk about the amazing event we're going to have. the mormon tabernacle choir. all of america being represented here in washington, d.c. >> on a much more serious note, as you say, addressing all of america. as you know there's a huge march being planned for the day after inauguration for saturday. largely being dubbed and la

when we bandy about a term like the market, we are being way too imprecise. certain parts of the market benefited from gridlock. other parts like the banks and infrastructure-related stocks are almost desperate for high rates and faster growth. frankly, it's gotten to the point where stocks like jpmorgan and bank of america need to get a rate hike or their gains of 26 and 30% could be repealed. same with the rally in caterpillar to date, always considered a winner in the supergrowth world. we don't listen to fed governors and presidents as they speak. we used to look at when they were speaking and what the schedule was. i don't look any more. our new attitude, give me a rate hike or give me death or death to the bull. it's not just the fed. suddenly we are shrugging off news from overseas that would have caused a huge sell-off. last night the italian electorate voted overwhelmingly for change. though we aren't sure how to change. we know this was a win for nationalism over globalism, prime minister renzi immediately resigned, recognizing he was really dramati

can you talk -- he is not yet chosen the head of the v.a., names are being bandied about from scott brownthe foformer senator from massachusetts who elizabeth warren has said she would support, to sarah palin. >> well, i think sarah palin would be a huge shock to the entire veterans community. we have never had a secretary veterans affairs who is not a veteran him or herself. i mean, donald trump received tremendous support from the military and veterans community. exit polls show he beat hillary clinton two to one among veterans. if you look at the very now margin of victory in places like wisconsin and michigan and the high percentage of veterans and those states coming, say that veterans delivered the presidency to donald trump. now we have to see, well, what is donald trump going to do for these veterans? he spoke to them directly. he promised to honor our veterans. but he never made really explicit promises beyond the promise that if you could not get an appointment quickly from the v.a., that you could go see a private doctor. this has a lot of people worried that he will dismantle

in terms of the transports, because that's been bandied about. look at where we close today. look at what the all-time high was. i think at the end of 2014, 2017, we're right there. the russell blew through that similarly. and apparently, it's nattering neigh bombs. a richard nixon spiro agnew thing. >> are you correcting? >> on the fed -- clearly, the first hike is pretty much baked in. it will be bad if it doesn't happen. because something went amiss. i am wondering, though, after the fed last year, they were in this situation. they gave us their guidance for the year. and then quickly had to change that. why go out on a limb again, and talk about your guidance beyond any relatively short amount of time? there is obviously things going on in europe that, you know -- a lot of things could derail what their plan is. i don't know why they would -- why risk it? >> right. >> why box themselves in a corner? >> coming up, a "mad money" jim cramer spoke to the ceo of united technology's greg hayes after carrier made a deal with donald trump. we'll hear the comments mr. hayes had to

everyone is bandying around 45%. what is being done at ubs to try to get the parameters around this risk of tariffs and turns -- in terms of trade? only look atcan historical precedent. we look at what tariffs have done to trade several decades ago and in a monetary policy context, what happened to inflation. of reflationa bit globally, but the central bank holding normal rates lower. one of our big calls next year is rates will stay low. on the other hand, we get protectionism rising. these are things central banks are going to have to counter, but we know that cyclical shots are not going to help -- talks are not going to help the global economy. if you get the protectionism driven inflation, that is going to do far more damage. be around the currency. it certainly was during the campaign for the u.s. presidential election. 6.5% againstlost the dollar so far this year. the pboc's interventions in the market at the moment are designed to stop the u.n. from falling -- the yuan from falling too quickly. that relations

neil: all the solutions bandied about about tax trump to goose the economy as i said at the outset, liftng into washington, it would get short term worse, but they argue longer term better. do you buy that? >> not necessarily. historically there is two percentage point gap between federal spending and federal revenues. guess which one is more, consistently federal spending. the reason -- neil: even in the form of tax cuts? >> yes. neil: is that, static accounting and spending? >> right. now i would say, that tax cuts will help in the short term. the longer term drivers, i don't mean decades from now. i mean only a few years from now, the, drivers of federal spending are going to be entitlements. take a look right now. with social security, it is currently running cash deficits. the only reason it is keeping above water, it is cashing in ious. that is going to start to become an acute problem in about five to seven more years.gain, we'ret looking at decades from now. we're looking at within a decade. neil: but it is like "waiting for gadot," but he is here. >> that's right. he is knocking

enter ted cruz, the outspoken former presidential candidate and texas senator has apparently been bandiedpossible supreme court pick to the federalist patent leather. what do you think? >> i think it's been amazing to watch donald trump does ted cruz as a politician is all the other guys. author of the primary cycle, ted cruz was very verbal and very outspoken in its opposition. he tried to make his opposition appear like a sensible argument and the rnc kind of punted his endorsement and kick that down the road and later on as soon as it became politically expedient for him to endorse john come he quickly reversed his position. so now we know donald trump just seems to be doing this again, dangling this potential supreme court position in front of him in an attempt to bend him to his will. i think is less than really makes it obvious that everyone has a price and i guess for ted cruz that price is a position on the supreme court. >> does very well put. i'm glad you said it, not me. one thing i did notice and i was making my doubts that startups need not apply. those who were early backers
