entity did come in and try to influence the elections in the united states of america. okay. guys, i want to ask about you something i was reading in the new york times. trump is not rewarding a lot of loyalists with cabinet jobs. look at rex tillerson. he is the latest who had virtually nothing to do with the campaign. why is trump ignoring the people who got him to the white house in the first place? well, i don t think he is necessarily ignoring people who got him into the white house. we could look at sessions, look at bannon his chief adviser, reince priebus, his chief of staff. there are a couple of people who were very out there for donald trump, even some of the most difficult typeimes, meaning chr christie and rudy giuliani. it didn t work out that way. rudy giuliani was interested in one position. it wasn t that he couldn t get a job in the administration. that one just didn t seem to work out for him. okay. howard, last thought to you.
it is a fascinating process because it is sort of like the apprentice meets hunger games meets game of thrones. the question in my mind is what is he doing with mitt romney? is he really sort of considering this? is there a humiliation process going on here? stepping back one moment, having been critical of the last segment, donald trump has reassured a lot of conservatives with the quality of his choices. these have been solid cabinet choices. there is a couple i would have a quibble about, but i think there is a real interesting paradox between the donald trump that goes out and does the airing of grievances at these rallies and tweets and the donald trump who is sitting with reince priebus and mike pence who is coming up with some pretty thoughtful, serious choices for these cabinet jobs. i don t know how it s going to play out. i certainly would not underrate the possibility of someone like bob corker. keep in mind rand paul sits on

sector? i don t understand what that means. i m talking about political insiders, not people who have some experience in the business community. we ll see if that standard applies to all the cabinet jobs we re seeing and experience in the line of work called for. our second break here. we continue to keep an eye on this event in cincinnati where the president-elect is expected in this arena. capacity is about, as i said, 17,500, depending on the configuration. we ll be back with our live coverage right after this. if you have a typical airline credit card, you only earn double miles when you buy stuff from that airline. wait.is this where you typically shop? you should be getting double miles on every purchase! switch.to the capital one venture card. with venture, you earn unlimited double miles on every purchase, everywhere, every day. not just .(dismissively) airline purchases. seriously. double miles. everywhere. what s in your wallet? let s just get a sandwich or something.
needs to fill big cabinet jobs. if he does that well, he can get off to a pretty good start. the congresswoman from washington, she s up for a possible post. i m hearing maybe interior, labor. bob woodson, african-american conservative up for housing and urban development. t.w. shannon may be up for transportation. they re aware they need to start announcing. what about ben carson? he said he s not qualified. my gosh. one person s name we haven t mentioned that we should is mike pence. strong appearance on sunday morning tv yesterday that is showing just how much he s going to be part of not just personnel and policy but communications. the most important thing, mika, as we re sitting here right now and we re in a
