jamie dimon didn't tear up that check mr. paulson handed him. a lot of people still remember those things. you know, donald trump stood up -- maybe it wasn't pretty -- but he stood up because it takes a lot of breaking of eggs to make an omelet that's going to satisfy the appetite of the people who put him there. it isn't about if we can find kumbaya. it's about the best path. we're a consumption economy. tariffs, all the trade issue, it really isn't trying to penalize anybody. it's about getting the best deal. and if that is an uneven process and global investors get hurt, there is no better time to try to fix it than to be in the middle of one of the most consumer driven economies. an export economy couldn't do it. if it's broke, you've got to fix it. >> shorter santelli is, if trump thinks it's a good idea -- so his supporters trust him? >> reporter: right. but that trust is only going to take him so far. they're going to be watching he does, and i think we still are missing that. >> hey, can i ask kate a quick question? >> yes. >> kate, my s

we understand that transition officials in for president-elect trump continue to contact jamie dimon offering him at lift try to feel him out as job for treasury secretary, dimon at-this-point is telling them he is willing to help, but he feels she not suitable to take this job. if talk to trump advisors, they will tell you they believe in jamie dimon is keeping the door open just a smidge, that if president-elect trump calls him, and says jam jamie you are my man, he would take it. i would point out, an interesting thing about this, it is clear that donald trump would like the star power of jamie dimon in this administration, no doubt about that. i think he would love to have him in administration, there are key policy differences between the 2. about a month ago donald trump said he wanted a reimposition of a modern day glass-steagall, that separates the banks. i could tell you there is no more voiciv -- vociferous opponent to glass-steagall than jamie dimon. they would be at polar opposites on a key, involving banks. from a policy stand point. barring everything else, it sounds lik

>> that is such a -- >> jamie dimon? >> i want jamie dimon to do it. it would be amazing. i don't think he loss of donald trump either but i think they know jamy would be amazing in that role. >> donald says he doesn't respect him. >> i don't believe it. liz: representative jeb hensarling. what do you think? >> that's a good call. i'm definitely in the jamie dimon camp. >> donald trump through one of his surrogates doesn't respect him because jamie dimon turned him down. >> donald trump isn't getting together with anyone right now who said he didn't like him, mitt romney? >> donald trump likes the last guy who says hello to him. let's be real clear here, the chances, jamie dimon is more than a theoretical chance, if the president calls you and offers you a job, you likely take it, right? the likely one is steve mnuchin, the other is jeb hensarling. you want him in the head house finance committee to roll through the stuff, the tax cuts. >> i completely agree with him. liz: he wants the federal reserve to be obviously under a tighter rein here, hensarling and trump spoke ab

jamie dimon was a name floating around yesterday.uld seem and on fit in fits of ideology -- an odd in terms of ideologically. i think it will be interesting to see how this one works. it is being seen through the prism of dodd-frank and how that story will work from here. you saw the huge rally in financials yesterday. yousef: the chinese stocks have entered the bull market after rising 20% from january lows. another indicator of how sentiment is evolving. anna: the u.s. stock markets have been going gangbusters on the back of the trump news. yousef: just to bring you back, guy, the cabinet is taking shape. trump is speaking to leaders from around the world, including a meeting with japan. how does this fit in his overall priority list? abe is requesting these two have a meeting. he is concerned what exactly this relationship will look like. the u.s. is a big underwriter of japanese security in the region, a bulwark against the push out china has driven over the last two years. it will be interesting to see how that one works. if we

they're lusting for jamie dimon.but donald trump usually lusts for extremely good-looking women. he is lusting for jamie dimon. liz: you know what our viewers were lusting for yesterday? for you and i to figure out, j. edgar hoover not herbert hoover. charlie is breaking news. we're all over it and he said something about herbert hoover running fbi. we know it was j edgar. >> j edgar hover, that is the guy that killed kennedy, right? isn't it? good-looking guy that j. edgar. look at herbert. liz: hoover many today. we appreciate twitter followers. they were all over it. @lizclaman or @ cgas parrino. >> i talk back to my trillions. do you see the donald trump blow up doll i keep sending the trumpkins. liz: charlie, thank you. the banking rally is still going wrong today. it getting overdone on the grill or does it have more room to run? we have an expert tommy shaw weighing in next. thank you for calling. we'll be with you shortly. yeah right... xerox predictive analytics help companies provide a better and faster cus

did jamie dimon know something we didn't? only that his stock had gotten ridiculously low no matter who won for president. but if you go over bank and america, you could say as well they should have done a ton of insider buying. bought. looking back, it seems easy. at the time, you needed faith. you needed belief, and he had both in spades. stick with cramer.

. >> there is a lot of stuff moving around with jamie dimon particularly after our last report how he been in contact with the trump transition team in recent days and here is what we know. here is what i know now. i can't guarranty it, thanks change in the future. i initially said when jamie dimon treasury secretary story broke on cnbc, basically i would have bigger chance of interviewing biggie and tupac than this happening but i'm just going to lay it out there because i think there is more -- maybe i was too harsh on the cnbc report because i think there is more than a theoretical possibility it could happen. but here is what i know. there has been talks between trump transition team and dimon over the last couple days. from what i understand, jamie dimon, the chief executive of jpmorgan, considered the best banker in the business, long foe of the obama administration, you although he is democrat, he told them he is willing to play some sort of advisory role with the administration through developing economic and banking policy. he is also told them, reiterated, what he said when

whether jamie dimon ends up being the treasury secretary -- mitt romney would send an important signalo the country and people around the world about what donald trump is trying to do. it does not wash away everything we cannot normalize the stuff that cannot be normalized. benin -- misogyny, anti-semitism, and racism has to be revisited. i am still encouraged, but i need more explanation about his first pick. >> there is no question that is still going to be out there. nancy pelosi has asked mike pence to take it back. the other thing they mitt romney pick would do is he would help recruit not just within the state department to bring in a lot of career diplomats -- i think he will recruit elsewhere in the cabinet. whether jamie dimon ends up being the treasury secretary -- mitt romney would send an important signal to the country and people around the world about what donald trump is trying to do. it does not wash away everything else but it would be a big message and the kind of pick compared to giuliani where people would say, donald trump is not rewarding loyalty to say the least.

big bank ceo jamie dimon becoming the next treasury secretary. are the stars aligning for the financials? on the newsline, good to have you here, anton. it seems pretty obvious. higher interest rates, potentially less regulation. what does that mean, drilled down to the possibility that dodd/frank goes away or gets altered dramatically? >> well, i'lled a one more. potentially stronger economic growth. tlp's a lot of trapped capital with bigger penalties. they're about to come out of the penalty box. higher dividends, higher buybacks and more capital out there to help stimulate the economy. it's been tight to get, you know, loans on the big banking side. it clearly has been a tough economy. we've grown very slowly. so with some infrastructure spending, a steeper yield curve, potentially more fed hikes, they're in the sweet spot right now. >> anton, i've got a screen with over 100 regional mid sized banks, they're 20% and 30% higher. two questions. how much money has your fund made in the last 90 days and are you selling some of these names which h

go back to our reporting, when we dismissed the jamie dimon rumors and many others.trump said before the election he wants steve mnuchin as his treasury secretary, he's his campaign finance chief, he did a very good job raising money in a very difficult situation, and they've grown close, those two. he's a former goldman sachs banker which is going to be interesting, you know? goldman sachs back as treasury secretary. and as we reported today, the decision of treasury secretary is likely to come later this week as soon as they hash out secretary of state. so this makes me think they're basically hashing out secretary of state, they know it's going to be somebody, romney or petraeus or john bolton, they know they've got that thing down. and as you know, the president-elect trump is having dinner with mitt romney tonight. but, so that makes me think that once they got that out of the way, this is coming. so this is coming definitely late in the week. the times says wednesday. you know, it could be tomorrow. but, you know, when i see the press release, i know definitely

yesterday somebody floated the name of jamie dimon. he's the poster child for wall street. he's the most well known banker in the world. if you voted against donald trump -- voted against wall street, how is that going to go down? francine: we've heard that it is so far-fetched that it doesn't exactly play out just because of what you were saying. adam, give me a sense of whether you are concerned that a rise in populism puts business -- does it put pressure on businesses do not grow as much? are we becoming too protectionist? adam: businesses are concerned about rising protectionist trends in a number of countries. not just the u.s. and the u.k. what we would like to see is continuation of trade across borders. it is not governments that trade. it is businesses that do it. governments can put incentives in. we are in a situation with global growth being a little stagnant. we need to see trade because it is one of the biggest things to promote that growth. francine: adam marshall, thank you so much. michael mckee joined us and at a marshall continues with us through the hou

i think both jamie dimon and steve mnuchin are calming to wall street. well-known people, user known. a feeling there will be financial dereg gratiulation on or another, eager to pull back pro zivision of dodd/frank. not people upsetting wall street and surprising if trump went with dimond, simply because he's shown he's tended to want people in his cabinet he's been personally close to before. >> i'm sure you guys heard what the president said in lima, peru. asked about, you know, basically what he was talking about, what kind of former president he's going to be? which is always so fascinating. and he indicated when it came to governing, legislative objectives, he's not going to weigh in and say that's a bad idea. this is a good idea. but he said he would speak out if the new administration reaches certain values, or ideals. what do you make of that? is that him sort of warning, or is that him answering democrats who want limbhim to be more active in a sort bench of people who can be a mouthpiece? >> a little of both. definitely i heard grumblings from

did jamie dimon know something we didn't?only that his stock had gotten ridiculously low no matter who won for president. but if you go over bank and america, you could say as well they should have done a ton of insider buying. dimon knew the negativity had gotten out of hand. he took advantage of it and he bought. looking back, it seems easy. at the time, you needed faith. you needed belief, and he had both in spades. stick with cramer. energy is a complex challenge. people want power. and power plants account for more than a third of energy-related carbon emissions. the challenge is to capture the emissions before they're released into the atmosphere. exxonmobil is a leader in carbon capture. our team is working to make this technology better, more affordable so it can reduce emissions around the world. that's what we're working on right now. ♪ energy lives here. >>> now we have rotations within rotations. for instance, last week we obviously had the banks going. we had the retailers going. we had the transports going. but

as a matter of fact, jamie dimon is about to be thought of as the treasurer for the united states of america. he would be the secretary of the treasury if left up to donald trump. i don't know what's going to happen, but i understand he's number one on the list for consideration. as a matter of fact, understand they're literally having a party on wall street because donald trump has embraced them, bringing them into his administration, getting their advice and basically showing them that he's not going to hurt them. >> there's a broader domestic agenda that i'm curious to get your thoughts on. we've seen over years the speaker ryan, the ryan bupt, there's a lot of things he wants to do, one is privatize medicare. he's talking about doing that now. that's not something donald trump ran on, it was something that he and hillary clinton both opposed. how likely is that and do you the democrats have a strategy to fight against medicare? >> you can't trust anything that donald trump has to say. one thing today, another thing the next day. but when he was out campaigning, he assured our sen

. >> you want to comment on some of this fodder about jamie dimon and being at least even considered if in fact he is for treasury? >> well, we also have a note on jpmorgan, as you know. we call jpmorgan the lebron james of banking because they have not only offense but also defense. and defense they've had incredible risk reduction that's under appreciated. now they should have some offense. >> is lebron james more about the rank and file or more about the score in the top office? >> it's absolutely both. i brought my lebron james bobble head. this is our symbol for jpmorgan. when it comes to jamie dimon for treasury secretary, if you could have lebron james on your team, you absolutely go for it. lebron james, it is jpmorgan as a firm but the top the firm could be considered -- >> do they have a dwyane wade? >> should have a tom brady. that's what you need. unlocking cash in the financial industry right now is the opportunity going to be there for m&a to finally happen now that banks are comfortable using the cash? and who could be acquired? >> we've been on the show talking about

jamie dimon was rumored to be perhaps treasury secretary under a democratic administration if not for the fact he runs a bank and banks took bailouts during the financial crisis even though he didn't want to take the bailout, he did anyway. these are sort of the names that are floating around there. fascinating that it's happening now. >>> still to come in the "newsroom" four police officers are shot in separate incidents. there's a manhunt for one of the shooters. that's next. ♪ if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, isn't it time to let the real you shine through? introducing otezla (apremilast). otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just 4 months, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't take otezla if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. otezla may increase the risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts

would you like jamie dimon in the role. >> two of the major outlets said that dimon doesn't want theob and that he's actively pursuing the job here. i think he would be a good fit. ashley: there's irony, he's called hillary clinton the ultimate wall street candidate. don't forget, dimon is anti-regulation, positive for the sector. stuart: donald trump is looking at the best minds in the country and he's offering stability. you go for jamie dimon and you're looking at stability at treasury, larry. >> yeah, i'm sure stability, a smart mind. the other thing i have, he's a banker and we've never been a big fan of bankers down here for a long time. with that being said, lack of regulation is a big thing and matches up to donald trump. so i think it might be a good choice. stuart: individual stocks, start with tesla. shareholders later on today on the tesla and solar city merger. the background here, there's a scathing article on elon musk on the daily smal. tesla got 750 million of taxpayer monies from solar city, from andrew cuomo, governor of new york state. do you like tesla with that

you called about mccall, you talk about jamie dimon. these are to reassure people that trump is serious. now, who they pick ultimately, i don't know. i think that's absolutely fascinating. if i can say on the executive order thing, when barack obama became president and the republicans made it clear they were going to block him at every turn, that was their strategy, he expanded the use of executive action. democrats applauded the fact that he did this. but having set that precedent and greatly expanded the use of executive authority without congressional approval one way or another, that can come back to bite you. >> which was always the concern. >> it was said at the time. now donald trump, who is nothing if not eager to use executive authority, that's who he is as a person, he knows notng about congress, and he's going to be impatient with congress. he's going to look for every -- he's going to make -- i predict he could make barack obama look wary of executive authority. that was always the risk. and i think we may have to watch the

and as jamie dimon ends up there, romney would send such a signal to people around the world about what donald trump is trying to do, it doesn't wash away everything else that people might be concerned about, but it would be a big message and a big pick, and the kind of pick as compared to say, giuliani, where people would say, trump, as i said it before, he's not rewarding loyalty to say the least in picking somebody like mitt romney. >> yeah, you know, i always said, it's about trump. and he's going to do at the end of the day what's best for him. and at the end of the day, what's best for him is a guy like romney. i cannot tell you what that would mean, the statement that would take. everybody would take a big sigh of relief. as opposed to -- i'm -- then i start to think about -- >> yeah, the nikki haley thing, i never think was serious. i think it got floated as kind of like a thing to move people off rudy giuliani. i said this morning, i thought there would be another big name. i think this well could be it. >> another day of transition team speed dating over at trump tower, as don

do you think that is what jamie dimon is thinking right now? what he is thinking, and he can think for himself. i think the government is aware that if you take the financial services industry, never mind a particular bank, a lot of what they do relies upon the passporting system, whereby it can sell its services throughout the year pain union. if that were to be curtailed or ended, that would have an impact. thated the differences people have been saying that for months even before the referendum, where is nissan did not say very much during the referendum but now has a major decision to take. my view is you cannot possibly say that when matters today, that one can wait for a couple of years. it is all important because the one thing businesses do not like -- and it does not load -- it does not matter whether they are a bank or a car manufacturer -- is uncertainty. i think we need to have a grown-up conversation with the rest of the european union, which will not be easy. as you know, there are major elections in france and germany in 2017. to

one of the names is jamie dimon. what kind of confirmation problems would he have?rty: well, given the anti-wall street fervor in congress and in the country, you would think that he would have a tough time, but i do think jamie dimon is so well-regarded and so well spoken that he would actually probably get confirmed in the senate, is my view. david: thanks a much for being with us, marty. it does not make it any more easier for jamie dimon when lloyd blankfein comes out and says he is great.
