we jokingly call it the smell of jet fumes because they take their flights home. if in fact they come to an agreement here. casey hunt and the countdown continues there until midnight. we will keep you posted on that. back to the breaking news we have been telling you about. donald trump, president-elect and the people announcing that rudy giuliani has with drawn his name from consideration from any post in the administration. he had been most closely linked to the secretary of state. he is saying that giuliani actually removed his name from consideration back on november 29th. this breaking in the last few minutes. katie turr joins us now. november 29th was the same day that mitt romney and donald trump had the dinner in new york.
won t be as easy to do. so far it is plugging away and there are a number of meetings with the donald trump team. no announcement of secretary of state. that could come next week. katie turr outside trump tower with the latest. trump meanwhile trying to burnish his image as a deal maker this week, taking to twitter to take a hard line stance with major companies, causing controversy. the companies that trump went after saw big moves on the stock market based, apparently, on his tweets. here s an example for you. this was less than an hour before the marks opened. trump tweeted he might cancel a $4 billion contract with boeing and said the costs are out of control. take a look at this. this is what happens to boeing stock after that tweet. you see it went down. by the end of the day, it did recover, but big money was lost
secretary of state is the big question that is left on the board. what can we learn from today s announcements about the directions the administration is going. scott pruitt is a very conservative choice by anyone s standards, not just in terms of environmentally record, but the record on social issues and things like abortion, same-sex marriage, very conservative. he has not previously of course sued the agency that he is about to lead. that says it all in terms of where the appointment is coming from and something that will please people who are very skeptical of the climate change lobby as they see it. as i think katie turr mentioned, it won t please al gore who was a recent visitor to trump tower. in the last few minutes we learned that donald trump s pick to lead the small business administration will be linda mcmahon.
logically unified. the trump supporters as you heard some of the interviews with katie turr. they don t have an ideology. it s a more primal sentiment. it s the lizard brain and trump has a way of getting those reactions. there s a short excuse me, there s a cautionary tale in the short but interesting history of the tea party. they came to life in 2010, just two years later, americans rejected the very sentiment that launched them into office. they were seen as men and women who spoke their mind and didn t have a background in politics and then two years later they were swept out of office by a sentiment that said these people are extreme, they don t know how to compromise, they don t know what to do. if we look at that as a party. you need to come down to
the only thing he believes in is himself. this is a carnival act. you want ratings. christie is ratings. total ratings. so much fun. big, very big. how is that? is that good? this is not a game show. it s not a production. it is deciding the most important political office in the world. i don t believe donald trump will be our nominee. we make sure everybody knows donald trump you are a fake. you think you are their target? that s what everybody says. let me get back to katie. you watch this guy. does he have a lot of moves or one move? it s basically stand up comedy, put down artist. putting people down. that s funny. putting down the way things are in the country, pretty predictable. is he capable of modulating his act snz. it is unclear. it seems he is starting to
