this is one position where you have a very strong bench. dean a powell, capable woman could step in and fill those shoes. without missing a beat. great point. her name isn t 0 lease. we ll get more into it if her name becomes real. listen, the president on air force one this evening said there is only one only name he s mentioned so far dismissed rick gra nell. he s not on the list but he s willing to put him on the list. the only person he mentioned is dina powell. you say she s not real. a i didn t say she s not real. i don t want to criticize her now. when she gets more real because trump says something on the airplane doesn t mean don t demean dena. i want to give her time. i don t want to critique her because her name popped out of the president s mouth. that s fair.
i think we have a photo of dina powell was in south carolina fishing with nikki haley, so they were together over the weekend. and the ambassador was really gushing not only about ivanka but jared kushner. there s the fishing photo. let s go back to this morning, guys. roll the sound from when she was talking about ivanka and jared kushner. i can t say enough good things about jared and ivanka. jared is such a hidden genius that no one understands. i mean, to redo the nafta deal the way he did, what i ve done working with him on the middle east peace plan, it s so unbelievably well done and ivanka has been a great friend. and they do a lot of things behind the scenes. now, hagar, nepotism, yes. but should we not rule out
ivanka trump? a source familiar says ivanka s name has been in the discussion. nothing would surprise me but for me that sounds a little far fetched and i find it surprising that dina would want to go back in already. i wouldn t be surprised if ambassador rick cornel had his eye on that position. now he works with nato and nato is another multi-national organization so it lays the foundation for that work, for that type of position. i wouldn t be surprised if he has his eye on that position. ivanka or jared, this is a senate-confirmed position at the end of the day so they ve got a lot stacked up against them in that regard. i don t know if they themselves want to put themselves through that kind of scrutiny. that s something that ivanka has
and she has been outspoken. she s been one of the most visible, headline making members of the administration when she goes out there before the u.n. in a speech that not necessarily might be watching on their tv in the middle of the day but makes headlines by saying things like russia has the blood on its hands of syrian children. she has been extremely outspoken on russia, even when the president himself at time has seemed the absolute opposite. so will there be somebody that fits that exact role? no. but there s been lots of talk that it could be deana powell maybe coming back to the administration. she handled sovereign wealth funds for goldman sachs. would she even want to come back. there s even talk about ivanka trump i want to hear hagar on this.
democratic controlled senate. two months earlier, finding the replacements now. for might deepen the bench for the people available on this job. on capitol hill, they would be surprised if he announced and they will wait until after the mid-terms. who knows. maybe we will end up with a un ambassador. two weeks is his stand by. now, she did tweet over the weekend, deana powell who used to work in the national security staff in this white house is a veteran of the george w. bush white house and with nikki haley, a lot of people said she is a friend and they probably want to lay the ground work. forgive me, is there any chance in you know what that donald trump would name to this high profile job someone he views as a globalist and close to gary cohn? i don t see that having a chance. it s hard to see. he values loyalty and there are
