david petraeus as well.k of a shrinking violet when it comes to international intervention. i think in this as we have gotten so focused on all this fascinating political machinations. >> david petraeus after facing opposition. rand paul who with sits on the foreign relations committee says he has problems potentially with this. >> he spent a year and a half beating up hillary clinton over revealing classified information and he would appoint somebody who the fbi says revealed it, but lied about it in an interview and purposely gave it to someone who did not have the clearance. i think that is a potential problem. >> and general petraeus led military efforts in iraq and afghanistan. rand paul has not been supportive of those things. donald trump hasn't been supportive either. >> i just think it is interesting. the notion of trump will be the president. maybe any of these guys can execute whatever his policies are. although, that's a funny argument for it doesn't matter who the secretary of state is. >> i bel

can we confirm david petraeus. mitt romney, how can he represent this president after everything he said about him? you have very different people. >> i do have a sense. is there an early read with petraeus and the question of confirmation? we just went through the campaign where e-mails were classified and played such a big and the attacks and would democrats seizehat portunity if petraeus were nominated to celts the score. would they say wait a minute, we are a little nervous about these appointments trump might make and should be satisfied given the other options. >> it's hard to say what would happen outside the foreign relations committee. within the foreign relations committee, you would have a bias towards david petraeus. he is is that well regarded and testified since his legal difficulties. he has been on the hill quite a bit some people may have a problem with it, i think the conventional foreign policy for democrats and republicans, the mainstream view would be to have a bias towards david petraeus. >> a

we have seen david petraeus coming to trump tower. this is a surprised position in the administration and there will be advisers and surrogates and people with a real interest in this who are willing to go faare to make their opinions known before donald trump lets us know what his decision will be. >> watching it play out is something no one in politics has seen before. we will go over to ann thompson at trump tower. lots of activity there today. we heard that news, general david petraeus and his name may be in the mix for secretary of state. also maybe mitt romney will be there tomorrow? >> that's right, steve. david petraeus spent two hours in trump tower, an hour with the president-elect and the president-elect took to his favorite form of communication after that meeting and just met with david petraeus. david petraeus came down and communicated with reporters in a more traditional way, speaking to those of us who are awaiting him in the lobby of trump tower. >> the meeting went very well. i was with him for about an hour and he

general flynn and then general david petraeus. it looks heavy on the military. >> i don't think he will care about that oning tick. he wants leaders and foles that won. david petraeus won the iraq war. he has a diplomatic side. general mattis is war fighter. general flynn will be fantastic at national security council. what is wrong with that? sandra: by the way those being considered for jobs, you are one of them, fair to say. you've been called in to meet with donald trump tomorrow. what are you meeting about? >> indeed. i'm grateful for the opportunity. honored to have a moment to meet with the president-elect. i served this country like some people we're talking about. have a heart for it, if that were to be in the cards, great. meghan: i'm all for it. sandra: bunch of general. >> i'm definitely not a general. >> to us you are, always will be. kennedy: talking about business leaders, romney thing made sense on that level. if they put their personal animosity aside i think they're both smart enough to do that, their business ba

so i, too, have been hearing david petraeus. and he's -- you know, he was my colleague in the bush administration. his accomplishments in turning around and saving lives in the war in iraq are second to none. he's -- you know him, you've covered him, oou entyou've inte him. he's in a league of his own for military matters and he's a good consideration. >> you think we should be looking at petraeus more broadly than just one job opening? >> reporter: absolutely. that backs up what you and nicolle wallace have been talking about as well. i heard possibly homeland security. brian, you referenced briefly the sort of modern day travails of general petraeus and his pleading guilty to handling classified information. one source very close to the transition team says, listen, there is a sense in that inner circle that general petraeus has paid the price. he's done what he had to do, he's moved on from t. there is a sense that his talent and commitment to the country overcome, in their minds, any issues that come from that guilty plea on

i think the important part is that he's willing to sit down and listen to david petraeus and all of these that, to me, shows exactly what i want in a leader. now, whether general petraeus, who i believe is a brilliant man, is the right chase for secretary of state, i don't know, but i'm glad here at the table. >> there's bipartisan agreement on that i do think the classified information will be an issue. it wasn't just the e-mails. the fact he pleaded guilty to actually sharing classified information with somebody that he shouldn't have. and he got probation because of it, and a fine. so he actually -- he not only -- not only did it and admitted it but was given a punishment for it. something that will come up if he goes with the sthact will ec state that will be part of the confirmation and i think it will be difficult. >> can we talk about dr. ben carson? >> sure. >> what happened? he said there was a forthcoming announcement and -- where is it? >> yeah. i don't know. i think ben has gotten over the tips of his skis a couple of times during this whole process. and i'm glad they're not s

david petraeus is extraordinarily respected, as a four-star general formerly.en working for kkr, i remember something of an email scandal here. [laughter] >> that is right. wouldeneral petraeus bring to this job is experience. he oversaw military operations in iraq and afghanistan. 2012, he had to step down after it was revealed he had shared classified documents with his biographer, with whom he was having an extramarital affair. yes, you may recall that donald trump as a candidate did spend a lot of time criticizing hillary ainton for her use of private email server and suggesting that was irresponsible because it had the capability of sharing classified emails. be a problem this if he were to be considered for this position? one side seems to throw mudslinging accusations, the when itde not so much, comes to national security. would you agree that might not be a problem? l become part of the political discussion. in terms of technical matters, general petraeus had a plea deal that involved probation and a fine. ghhe would not be precluded from this role he h

meantime at trump tower, a couple of people popping through there today, including retired general david petraeus. there he is. he has arrived. he is up for the most prominent position in the president-elect's future cabinet, secretary of state. general petraeus, though, definitely has some stiff competition, including former new york mayor and trump supporter, loyalist rudy giuliani, and also mitt romney, former trump critic and former governor of massachusetts. so, let's turn now to cnn sunlin outside trump tower as this, what, conflict, public feud about this secretary of state position has just gone so totally public. >> reporter: that's right, brooke, it really is unfolding in a very public way. you have these reports of deep in-fighting that are now boiling over into the public sphere. you have these very deep divisions within donald trump's transition team, fighting over, in essence, who is the best choice to be secretary of state. you have trump loyalists and the most vocal among them, kellyanne conway, who's arguing against mitt romney. >> who we heard. by the way, these are live picture

a: tba q: general david petraeus was at trump tower yesterday. is he going public: kellyanne conway, trump's senior adviser who spoke out against mitt romn, conway, trump's senior adviser who spoke out against mitt romney, now seems to be trying to mend fences on twitter? a: tba q: general david petraeus was at trump tower yesterday. is he seriously being adlib traffic adlib weather seagulls... if you have ever if you have ever been to a beach... been to a beach... anywhere... you know how much of a pain they are. one guy really doesn't like them. and if you're a jedi master like he is... watch out. stop yes... that is jedi master... yoda... in bad lip reading... strikes back. how awesome is this??? ad lib with tram & matt speaking of star wars.... joins ellen today... to talk about coca cola, harrison ford... and hair prisons... check it out... stop you can catch more of that interview today at 1 out of 3 women lie about this on the first date. some women we work with also lie about this. what is this let's get to that juicy question of juicy qu

i'll start with you, kelly, about something we were talking about earlier in the show, which is david petraeusr not petraeus would have -- he obviously has some vetting issues, but do you think, from your sense of republicans on capitol hill, do you think those would be problematic enough to keep him from being secretary of state or would they be easily overcome if that was the way that donald trump went? >> i think that there would be a lot of explaining that he made a mistake, he owned up to the mistake, he has paid a price for the mistake, and he's got a large portfolio of experience that is key to that position. so you would have some republicans, sort of the mccain/graham coalition,ed th t would strongly support a david petraeus in any foreign policy role. it is a challenge to get around the obvious, that he was convicted of a misdemeanor related to passing secrets, especially at a time when there was so much question about what extent the clinton e-mail should be probed and investigated and so forth. and we're not even sure that's entirely over from a capitol hill perspective. so that ma

is retired general david petraeus a top contender after kellyanne conway publicly bashed mitt romney? >>> and there's growing concern that millions of ballots were cast illegally costing him the popular vote. >>> and trump's negotiating skills are being put to the test as he tries to prevent hundreds of u.s. jobs from moving to mexico. will the carrier company help him make good on a campaign promise? we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >> we're following multiple breaking stories, including that brutal attack at ohio state university. sources telling cnn that a facebook page that belonged to the attacker included grievances about attacks on muslims. we also know the attacker was an osu student named abdul razak ali artan. a federal law enforcement official sells cnn he was 18 years old, of somali decent and a legal u.s. resident. authorities say he rammed his car into a group of pedestrians on a sidewalk and used a butcher knife to cut several people before being killed by a police officer. many s

probably retired general david petraeus among the final four.onsidering his handling of classified information, that he pled guilty to lying to the fbi, would you feel comfortable with general david petraeus as secretary of state? >> you know, during my trips to theater, i met with david petraeus and general mcchrystal. these are unique and amazing officers. did general petraeus make a mistake that was certainly significant? yes. but the specifics of his mistake i think have to be looked at if you're going to consider. his sharing of classified information was with somebody who was a cleared personnel sh not cleared for that information, but certainly not a risk. did he say something that was up true to cover that up? yes. but i think, wolf, we have to consider that around here, those of us who saw him in theater and on trips to the combat zone have never been more impressed with any officer and so the idea that he's being considered is one that i think republicans and democrats, if they're honest, are going to tell you he certainly should be co

david petraeus and bob corker on the short list. a source says mitt romney will have dinner with president-elect tomorrow night, is a job offer on the menu? why did kellyanne conway go public with her campaign against mitt romney. meanwhile, trump has a new twitter tantrum blasting recounts in several states skin and cyinsisting, with no evidence to support his claim, trump is insisting millions of people voted illegally. first late breaking news on the terrifying attack at ohio university. cnn's pamela brown is in ohio with the latest for us. pamela, there is late breaking news on the terrifying attack at ohio state university, what can you tell us? >> that's right, investigators are learning more about the motivations of the suspect, 18-year-old abdul artan, we learned a student at ohio state university, he was born in somalia and came to the united states in 2014. according to his social media posts he went on an anti-american rant and aired grievances about attacks on muslims. he apparently posted this on his facebook page just

. >> david petraeus, his name may be in the make. >> petraeus spent two hours inside trump tower. >> the meeting went very well. very good conversation, we'll see where it goes from here. >> the only person who really knows what's going on is the president-elect. >> welcome to four years of palace intrigue like this. >> we have breaking trump cabinet news tonight. according to a high-level source familiar with the decision-making process, tells nbc news that six-term republican georgia congressman tom price is expected to be the donald trump pick to be secretary of health and human services. he has been a severe critic of the affordable care act saying it interferes with the ability of doctors and patients to make medical decisions. he was quoted in a story saying budget committee chairman tom price says he expects lawmakers to push forward with an overhaul within the first six to eight months of president-elect donald trump's administration, overhauling medicare has been a major goal for speaker paul ryan since 2011. congressman price voted for the ryan budget, which would turn medi

but i want to ask you about general david petraeus.e've been told that it was almost decided that it would either be rudy giuliani or mitt romney for secretary of state and up pops david petraeus. how do you like his odds? >> as you noted, we still have mayor giuliani who's being considered for a top level pick in the administration. obviously governor romney would be a top night contender if he were to choose to come into the administration if the president-elect offered him something. you have other folks coming in to offer advice, give their different opinions. general petraeus is someone who's highly sought after. he was at the white house a few months ago. they were bringing him in to offer his opinions. as the president-elect brings everyone together starting to formulate his opinions, the's going to make his own pick and decision. but obviously i'm a big fan of mayor giuliani having worked with him in 2008, governor romney has a strong track record. one person is going to make this decision and that will be the president-elect.

this is general david petraeus formerly of the cia.et's listen in for a moment. >> the variety of challenges out there and some of the opportunities as well. very good conversation. we'll see where it goes from here. >> did he offer you a job. >> i have to teach this afternoon. so that is all i can do. good day. >> any advice for him? liz: general david petraeus. he just left a meeting with president-elect donald trump. he has been rumored possibly to be secretary of state. again mitt romney has too, former governor of massachusetts. we're intrigued. palace intrigue just up the street at trump tower. the dow is down 57 points. we're coming right back. bob doll of nuveen on big ideas for savers. looking for a medicare prescription drug plan that could save you money? at unitedhealthcare, we offer three plans to choose from to help meet your needs- including one that's brand new for 2017. introducing the aarp medicarerx walgreens plan insured through unitedhealthcare. it features $0 copays on all tier 1 prescription drugs filled at walgr

general david petraeus today. could he be the next u.s. secretary of state? this is bloomberg. ♪ vonnie: this is "bloomberg markets." i'm vonnie quinn. david: i am david gura. time for the business flash samsung electronics announced it will try -- it will announce ways to change shares. issung of if there designated as have been talking about investor overhaul proposals. rates afterterest the election of donald trump may far, according to prudential's manager. hold growth in interest rates in check. leon cooperman camera the billy cooperman,d -- leon -- investors,ording to who say cooperman told them he anticipates his insurance will cover all of the expenses. that is the bloomberg business flash. isnie: the president-elect back in new york. his transition team says he is meeting with former cia head david petraeus. joining us now is margaret talev. the four-star general had to leave under a cloud. could he be considered? >> it is a really interesting question. he could pave the one question is how much pushback with that get from democrats? perhaps it does n

see, donald trump was on david petraeus' side the whole time.orse and it could happen. >> let's move on to money, shall we. when you add all these pennies, nickels and dimes and billions with all these potential picks within the trump cabinet, it gets you at over $30 billion. we can throw the pictures up of some of these individuals he's considering choosing adding to his cabinet and, errol, this is trump's network. the question to me is, did they have the policy? they have the money, did they have the policy? >> it depends on who you're talking about. some people like senator sessions, clearly, used to work in the justice department understands how it works, has a wealth of experience. no question about that. somebody like dr. ben carson. not so clear. not just because he hasn't been in the world of housing and housing development. he's being considered for housing and urban development, but because he hasn't run anything as big as a big federal cabinet. and, apparently, his spokesman even said the other day he's not clear whether or not he can

if david petraeus will do this job, forgive him his e-mail infractions, please. >> you win that roundvid frum. anything is better than donald trump. and whoever those generals are who donald trump thinks that he's way smarter than, we don't want any of them. rick wilson, what about lieutenant general flynn and his election, which doesn't require senate confirmation to be the national security adviser. >> as david just pointed out, general flynn is regarded by a lot of folks in the intelligence community as the up the of the spear on what is basically a de facto intelligence penetration by the soviets of our government at the highest level. this is a guy who had cozy dinners with putin. this is a guy who the intelligence agency regarded as not only temperamentally unsuited for the job, but possibly compromised. . and he's a danger in a number of areas. the intelligence community is blowing up tonight over the possibility of michael flynn being in one of the most senior and most sensitive positions, who has access to literally every bit of intelligence product this country preoduces. >>

obviously david petraeus -- >> david petraeus -- >> david petraeus has some vetting issues. clearly, there are many people who will point out that for a republican president-elect who spent a lot of his campaign attacking hillary clinton over her e-mail use and over the classified material, with petraeus, he got in trouble with the law for, there will be a fight over if petraeus is nominated. again, it's hard for me to believe that any of these candidates will have a problem. >> do you see a problem -- kellyanne conway, and there are reports that she has gone rogue, she said that's not the case, she's a supporter of donald trump. e your mind? >> only one that matters is the whole thing about donald trump. with kellyanne conway, donald trump likes chaos. she's not dumb. i'm sure she would is not come forward saying anything that she didn't feel comfortable about maintaining her close relationship with donald trump. everyone i talked to says the same thing which is, man, we just don't know what donald there's things like whether he things the cut of the gib. i wouldn't be surp

this raises the question -- >> when david petraeus -- >> yeah, go ahead. >> i was going to say david traeus is a remarkable leader, has had enormous experience and brings a lot. but let me also mention, if you want to look beyond rudy -- and i don't particularly -- but ambassador bolton would do a stunningly good job. he understands the state department. he knows how it needs to be fixed. he has the toughness to fix it. i think you could find 10 or 15 or 20 people who could do the job, any one of whom would be dramatically better than mitt romney. >> yeah. well, i tend to agree. but what about the issue of hillary clinton? i would say to donald trump if anyone would listen to me, i would say, mr. trump, it is not your decision. you can say that you wish the clintons the best, but the rule of law, doesn't it have to be followed? wouldn't it be the decision of the new attorney general and the justice department whether or not laws were broken? and we can't have a two tiered justice system, we have to have equal justice under the law? >> sure. look, i think the best road forward -- becau

charles: neil: a fundraiser for general david petraeus, a lot of bad blood there. charles: i don't think anthony is particularly enamored of romney these days based on what he did with trump during the campaign. he was so vehemently anti-trump, never said anything about it, one thing to be a journalist, i reported on trump here and the stupid ing's he said it stuff i thought was bad, here is the good stuff and the bad stuff and the good stuff about hillary clinton, romney sided mpaign an annoyed anthony. you look what happened, the optics are interesting, he walked general david petraeus into trump tower, he is pushing for it and be clear, he and general david petraeus go back, he is an executive at private equity firm, probably some relationship with anthony. neil: general david petraeus was considered for defense. charles: it is all up in the air. neil: my crackpot theory that this is all theatrics. charles: part of it is theatrics. it is a high level job scare over there and donald brings people in. it is what it is. jamie gaiman is not rushing to go to trump to

southern command, he's considered to be a top candidate as is former cia director david petraeus who is someone well known in numerous political and military circles and then tennessee senator bob corker who said in the past he would be willing to serve in the trump administration if asked. he wasn't necessarily the most vocal trump supporter during the campaign but he is someone with a bit of washington experience but also someone considered an outsider, a businessman himself and someone whose politics could marry that of donald trump. we don't know what direction donald trump intends to go in but we know that announcement won't come today. we mentioned he put the two staff announcements out earlier today. he and his family will relax over the weekend at mar-a-lago. they'll return back to new york on monday and that's what vice president mike pence will join trump again. that's when they'll start to get after this list of cabinet positions that need to be filled. brooke? >> have another mega meeting on monday of eight other people. lots of names to take in. ryan noble, thank you so

debated david petraeus. his whole thing, petraeus didn't do anything that bad and hillary clinton for doing much worse. if they choose david petraeus saying, see? donald trump was on petraeus' side the whole time. >> a great, very telling pick. ideologically on foreign policy trump associated with one camp. the republican party. much nor non-interventionist, against the iraq war, more willing to engage with russia. the circle of people he's choosing here are in those camps in various ways. romney is probably the most, almost polar opposite of trump on all of the big foreign policy issues. if he chose romney, interesting, not because romney was his biggest critic but ideologically, haven't been the same. >> and nikki haley, a critic on the trail. >> and anti-iran, pro-israel. that would fit with romney if he decides to go that way and it would be a signal to the foreign policy community andals to countries around the world american foreign policy isn't really going to change as much as they might have thought.

david: donald trump did tweet how much enjoyed meeting with david petraeus.ired four-star general, led the search, and at the same time, had legal trouble with confidential documents. barrier tose a confirmation? marty: it will come up in a hearing if nominated. his sharing a confidential information to someone he was having an affair with will be related to the hillary clinton email issued that donald trump championed in his campaign. ultimately, he is so well respected then i think you would get senate confirmation. david: some of the people have pointed out that it is an interesting contrast, david petraeus stood up, took his medicine and admitted he was wrong, exactly what hillary clinton did not do, according to donald trump. monti: they're making that argument, but it would he on his merit for secretary of state and i think you would get senate confirmation. david: marty shanker, bloomberg senior executive editor for economics. alix: time for other stories making headlines. here is emma chandra. lyft as one added legal anions that has led to airline fli

david petraeus, kellyanne conway in trump tower. she is making a valid point as ned pointed out. if you don't have the right background for the job, ab, loyalty aside, those are issues that you should be concerned about, i imagine he is very concerned about, you got to fit the position. does mitt romney fit it? >> if, if this entire thing was a ruse, trish, and donald trump never wanted to put an old adversary into this position, then he was just, you know, using him to hang him out to dry and humiliate him. but i think from what we've read , donald trump believes he would do a good job as diplomat for the world. someone who is well-respected by americans at home and people abroad and that he would be, quote, unquote, he looks the part which -- trish: right out of central casting, right? >> rudy giuliani was mayor of new york and knows a lot about security and maybe you're right he is better fit for homeland security. he seems to want the job of secretary of state, only that job, putting pressure on donald trump who wants to rewarded his greatest loyalist in rudy giuliani. but ag

mark: david petraeus is about a -- a brilliant guy and a charmer. think the vetting issues is something that he wants to avoid. mr. believe the senate controlled by the republicans too manyharshly vet people but petraeus will end up with the short stick, and i'm sure he would love the job because of the vetting issue. i still think kelly or romney are the two best choices. i try to reach a lot of people to talk about it, no one wanted to talk about where this stands and everybody says the same thing. this is donald trump's pick. he has more relations, but trump corker is an interesting pick. he has more relations, but trump as it is my the image that he wants. john: bob corker is a very smart guy, but he does not cut that figure. petraeus though does. romney clearly does. there is no question. trump has said that. he looks like a secretary of state. petraeus -- i know there are vetting issues. it is true. but for the recent tucson, to get us more than just the republican senate. it is also that a lot of republicans in the senate are on record saying

-- look, there is no one, literally no one in america, who has as much military expertise as david petraeus. but the secretary of state job is not a military job. petraeus is not only a military expert, but has a great political antenna. he knows the world extraordinarily well. we talked yesterday about the vetting issues that he will face and about the compare and contrast between the things that got him in trouble in terms of handling classified material, for which he was convicted, and the things of which hillary clinton was accused of by donald trump. so there's some interesting political questions. but is he qualified to be secretary of state? for sure. >> look, there's some questions in people's mind about whether he can handle classified information now, under the agreement that he made. that has to be worked out. i think the establishment would be, maybe, as happy or close to as happy with petraeus as they would be with trump. i still think -- romney. ting there are some people around trump and maybe trump himself concerned about the notion of retired military, as we've talked about

. >>> also coming up, earlier today, general david petraeus met with president-elect trump in new york city. petraeus is reportedly being considered himself as secretary of state. >>> also, later tonight. >> i think at that moment when he said what he said about accepting the results of the election exposed himself as a coward. >> the alt-left radical left mainstream media hypocrisy is exposed. remember when they were freaking out about donald trump's comment about accepting election results? much more. also an 18-year-old somali refugee accused of carrying out a violent attack at ohio university and tim tebow tonight on "hannity." ♪ getting older shouldn't mean giving up all the things she loves to do. it should just mean, well, finding new ways to do them. right at home's professional team thoughtfully selects caregivers to provide help with personal care, housekeeping, and of course, meal preparation. oh, that smells so good. aw, and it tastes good, too. we can provide the right care, right at home. hey, need fast try cool mint zantac. it releases a cooling sensation in your mouth a
