>> rudolph giuliani wants to be secretary of state and rudolph giuliani thinks he is better than theer choices. yes. someone asked. >> is there anybody better? >> maybe me. i don't know. >> he is direct. he is an unabashed supporter of donald trump and not afraid to repeat and even double down on the kind of rhetoric that left no doubt where the president-elect stands on the issues. >> islamist extremist terrorists. you know who you are! and we're coming to get you. >> giuliani's temperament for the job is coming into question. but so are his many business ties across the globe. though not a direct comparison, because rudolph giuliani was a private citizen. they are the same kinds of ties that rudolph giuliani found problematic when he labeled the clinton foundation and secretary of state hillary clinton as engaging in a pay to play scheme run out of the department of state. >> the clinton foundation to me is a racketeering enterprise. >> turning the state department into a pay or the play operation. >> he rose to national prom negligence on september 11, 2001. he became known as ame

rudolph giuliani for secretary of state. would you confirm? >> first of all, i find it under believably iron pick donald trump who spent a good part of the campaign trying on convince people that he was against the iraq war is considering people like rudolph giuliani and john bolten who were some of the primary cheerleaders of the iraq war and to this day don't admit that it was a mistake. if donald trump will nominate someone like rudolph giuliani who has no experience in foreign policy, or somebody like john bolten who is determined to invade no countries. who has learned nothing from our failure in iraq and afghanistan, i don't think many will get many democratic votes at all of right now it appears that donald trump is putting loyalty to him ahead of the security of the nation. the jock of secretary of state is neighbor most important that he can fill. it is really a matter of life and death for people in ukraine, for people in east asia, for people in the united states. by putting a political supporter, a crony from the campaign in that p

and then there'sormer new yk mayor rudolph giuliani, reportedly the front-runner. he is making it clear he would like the job. >> now you're being considered for important jobs. the one i hear most often is secretary of state. have you had any conversations with him? >> i have. him and me. since i left mayor accident this is a rough estimate. i've been in 80 countries, 150 different foreign trips. i've been all over the world. very close friends with israel. >> only had raer knight hood from great britain. prime minister netanyahu has been my personal friend for many years. i never to go israel without spending time with him. and continuing world. >> well, giuliani or bolton might face opposition. it's great to have you on, senator rand paul. i was one of those who thought you would win this whole thing and i was wrong. >> a little bit off. a little bit off there. >> i thought country was ready for freedom from big government in the right way. one thing that he thought they campaigned on was he thought it was stupid, stupid wars. he didn't like regime change. he ta

i think there are huge advantages to rudolph giuliani, frankly. will go out and be a very tough negotiator for america and represent american interests in think rudy is a better pick ask has the right temperament. >> there's only one way that i think mitt romney could even be considered. public place and repudiates everything he said in that famous salt lake city speech. and everything he said after that. he said that donald trump wasn't fit and lacked character. that's why i think he has to stop and consider. >> for more, joined now by ken vogel and jay newton small. let's talk with this choice between mitt romney, rudolph giuliani, you have gingrich, huckabee. than mitt romney when they ran against him. do the anti-mitt romney forces have his ear? >> i think gingrich probably has his tear some extent. he was an early adopter that got on the train early. these are loyalists and these are not. one thing i think we have to an appeal, not just to the gop establishment but to the donor class. huge rolodex. devos is a major donor. anthony on the trans

against rudolph giuliani, d about his conflicts with people, and the terror watch list. nikki haley would be a hugely positive sign symbolically. i don't know what kind of depth she has on foreign policy. just the notion of choosing a main stream republican nonwhite woman in that job would be a huge step on trump's part. let's say jeff sessions stays in. if you have ted cruz, nikki haley, jamie diamond at treasury, that would get a lot of people's attention. >> a the love ifs there. >> a lot of contention. >> the left will be unhappy about anything. those are picks would be really different from some of the names we've been hearing until now. >> sorry about that. we ran long on that but whatever. donald trump already has court controversy bigly with this election of steve bannon. but there is more. two new ruckuses being raised over news reports over trump's maneuvers. this have the first has to do with an nbc news story that says trump is requesting top secret clearance for his son-in-law, so that kushner can sit in on the daily briefing. he put out a different story sa

andrea, what new intell have you about rudolph giuliani as secretary of state? >> i think he is the front runner. he appeared at a dinner speech here in washington tonight and gave a speech for about an hour and took questions all about foreign policy. he talked about iran, iraq, what the relationship with china should be, how he would change relationships with russia. he talked about what he thinks should be done on cancelling the iran deal, that it can be cancelled by this president or renegotiated. it was stunning to people, democrats as well as republicans that his entire speech was devoted for all intensive purposes to showing his chops, very detailed, specifics, numbers, the defense budget. he was clearly showing his grasp of what i'm sure donald trump is very impressed with, his ability to be secretary of state. he made it clear that is the job he wants. he said he does not want to be attorney. others are suggesting hutcheson for attorney general. >> the names are starting to come out for different jobs. i heard reef for education. i heard the trump team

i think there are huge advantages to rudolph giuliani, frankly. i think if you want someone who will go out and be a very tough negotiator for america and represent american interests in the way the trump campaign, i think rudy is a better pick ask has the right temperament. >> there's only one way that i think mitt romney could even be considered. he goes to a microphone with a public place and repudiates everything he said in that famous salt lake city speech. and everything he said after that. he said that donald trump wasn't fit and lacked character. that's why i think he has to stop and consider. >> for more, joined now by ken vogel and jay newton small. let's talk with this choice between mitt romney, rudolph giuliani, you have gingrich, huckabee. nobody drove them more crazy than mitt romney when they ran against him. do the anti-mitt romney forces have his ear? >> i think gingrich probably has his tear some extent. he was an early adopter that got on the train early. and a lot of this comes down to these are loyalists and these are not. on

rudolph giuliani, bill clinton, all over the place. in this jumble of data, as you look at i on the campaign trail. what is standing out to you right now? >> well, if the two campaigns agree, trump and clinton, that her lead has narrowed nationally in the key battle ground states. he and i both have the same experience every four years. if your campaign says you're up 3, you say we have a solid 3-point lead. if you're down 3, you say we're closing the gap. so i would say that donald trump has, everyone agrees, has closed the gap. but there is no under the current polling. he has more to do if he'll be in the game in less than a week. >> right. you look at this and one of the biggest, one of the biggest changes is that a week ago, smart people that we know were saying that the only suspense left in this election was whether hillary clinton would end up between 350 and 400 electoral votes. nobody is talking like that anymore. you look at all the battleground state polls. the states that hillary clinton needs on win, she still has, she's

the rumored front-runner for trump's secretary of state is former new york city mayor rudolph giuliani who has no foreign policy experience. he would be the first secretary of state whose last public office was mayor, the most thoroughly domestic office we have. rudy giuliani is on the list not because of competence, he is on entirely because of loyalty to donald trump. in pretrump washington where the old rules applied, rudy giuliani could never survive the senate confirmation process. the fbi background check would show he had an out of control affair with his press secretary while he was mayor of new york, that his marital life became unhinged with his wife kicking him out of the mayor's residence of gracie mansion, that he took up residence in a house apartment on the other hand by friends of his. the friends were a loving gay couple. and that is the best thing i know about rudy giuliani. is that in his most desperate moment, desperate time of need, he turned to a gay couple for help. he didn't think no, i can't do that, it will look bad if i go to them. he went where he felt safe.
