Rudy giuliani and in the other corner you have governor mitt romney, outspoken opponent during the campaign called the president elect a phony and a con. Top trump loyalists are not happy about the idea of mitt romney as potential secretary of state. People feel betrayed to think that governor romney who went out of his way to question the character and intellect and the integrity of donald trump now our president elect would be given the most significant cabinet post of all, secretary of state. That is decision only one man can make, president elect donald trump. We dont even know if he voted for donald trump. He and his consultants were awful to donald trump for a year. Bill that is one thing to follow. Mr. Trump sounding off on the recount efforts underway in wisconsin, calling it sad and ridiculous. Martha what a weekend, right . Peter doocy live outside of trump to youer in new york city. So, peter, do we expect we might get a decision on secretary of state or any other post as early as today . Reporter we think it is possible, martha, because the Transition Team had been telling us to not expect anything until the week after the holidays. So that would be today and they are always full of surprises. So we are here outside of trump tower just waiting for word. To expand a little bit on the controversy surrounding the secretary of state, what is important to note is that Kellyanne Conway, you heard from there is the person the Transition Team has been using almost exclusively to get word out from the inside, from the top tier of the transition. She has been a very he vocal antimitt romney voice for the last several days. There has not been anybody from the inside of the Transition Team coming out and pitching mitt romney, talking about the pros of possibly having him as the secretary of state. So that sounds like it is going to be kind of a complicated decision maybe not one that we would get today or in the next few days but today here at trump tower, mr. President elect does have eight folks coming by to take the elevator ride up to the 26th floor for job interviews. And the Transition Team is telling us they like multiple people for multiple different positions which makes sense when you look at very least their job titles. There is the Milwaukee County sheriff, david clarke, who gained a lot of prominence recently as critic of black lives matter movement. Lou barletta and paul atkins, one time sec commissioner. There were a pair of cabinet nominations over the Holiday Weekend. Somebody else were keeping eye on who has not accepted his request to accept a nomination would be dr. Ben carson. First half of last week there was update every day whether or not he wanted to be the hut secretary in the next administration. It has been all quiet all weekend. So now were waiting for that. Martha. Martha fascinating. In terms of the recount story that also bubbled up a lot over the weekend, peter what is Donald Trumps counter to the pushback on the wisconsin vote . Reporter martha, the president elect agrees there were millions of illegally cast votes, he just thinks it benefit the democrats. He is saying all illegal votes did was dent his margin of victory. At the end of the long Holiday Weekend took to twitter around wrote this. Winning Electoral College in a landslide, i won popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally. Serious voter fraud in virginia, New Hampshire and california. Why isnt the media reporting on this. Series bias, big problem. Mr. Trump subtly swiped at democrats knocking him for not winning the popular vote with this pair of tweets. It would have been much easier to win socalled popular vote, Electoral College i would only campaign in three or four states, instead of 15 states i visited. I would have won even more easily and convincingly but smaller states are forgotten. Talk about illegal voting mr. Trump has not offered any concrete evidence that there were illegally cast votes but neither are th campaign voters who joined up because they think there may be outside interference aiding the president elect. Martha will keep you busy, peter, thank you very much. Bill what the recount means and what it is about, john mccormick, writer weeksly standard. Take you back to november 9th, the morning after the election, when Hillary Clinton said the following. We must accept this result and then look to the future. Donald trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. Bill so that was then. Whats up now . Well, what the Clinton Campaign is arguing hey, we didnt file this recount petition. Jill stein did he it, green party. Bill they joined it. They joined it, exactly. People you might argue that the Clinton Campaign is hiding behind jill steins skirt here. So i do think that the Clinton Campaign if they go out and start suggesting that the vote was illegally hacked, there is no evidence of that whatsoever, but they raise the possibility. They note that russians were involved in trying to influence the outcome of the election. There is no evidence whatsoever that the election is hacked. Would take not only wisconsin but takes pennsylvania and michigan to overturn the results in Electoral College. Trump won pennsylvania by nearly 70,000 votes. Michigan by 10,000, wisconsin by 30,000. More to the point they already checked the paper ballots with spot checks in pennsylvania and wisconsin. If there were anything amiss, i dont see why that wouldnt have been caught already. Bill here is the wisconsin final tally. Donald trump beat Hillary Clinton by a percentage point, about 27,000 raw votes. Jill stein barely got more than 27,000. She is 30,980. Republicans would argue, what democrats are trying to do to make donald trump illegitimate even before takes the oath of office, john. Reporter certainly. Some people are guilty of that by suggesting things base lowesly in the media, suggesting there are statistical anomalies. Report in new York Magazine and Statistical Analysis was quickly debunked. If you look nationwide, the counties that use paper ballots and nonpaper ballots there isnt much of a difference when you account for demographics. People have to be aware they shouldnt be trying to undermined the legitimacy of the votes. Goes from he one in the media to democrat as well as the president elect who has gone out without evidence of his own there were millions of votes illegally cast. Bill two million votes in fact. He says jill stein wants to raise money. By my count she raised more than 6 million. There may be a point to that. John mccormick, analysis there from washington, d. C. Thanks. Thank you. Martha a twoday memorial marking the death of cuban dictator fidel castro is getting underway in havanas revolution square. While in the streets of miamis little havana, cuban exiles have been celebrate the death of the man they call a brutal tyrant. Texas senator ted cruz describes the moment that his father found out that castro was gone. You know, for some of us whose families have been imprisoned, have been tortured, have seen the destruction of cuba that fidel castro carried out, my dad as a teenager was imprisoned and tortured by batista. Beaten in a prison cell. Had his teeth kicked out of his mouth. A man tortured and oppressed by so many, it is thankful he is no longer with us. Martha Steve Harrigan live in havana, cuba. Good morning, steve port reporter martha, weve been hearing cannons going off with a official 21 gun salute. They are marching by a ninestory portait of Young Fidel Castro in revolutionary square. As it is difficult whether theyre there out of emotion for the man who ruled this country by iron fist for 50 years or instructed to do that by the government. Castros ashes will be transported across the country in sanity august go where he began the revolution in 1953. That is where he will be interred. His 85yearold brother, raul castro in power officially for the past eight years. Some think perhaps raul could quicken the pace of really temporary economic changes they have made here so far you but he has been a lifelong communist. He said he will step down two years from now. We could see a real generational change here in the leadership in cuba. One big outstanding question, where do relations between the u. S. And cuba go from here . Under obama, weve seen a warming that could change under president trump. Back to you. Martha all right. Thank you very much, steve. Steve harrigan reporting from havana. Donald trump tweeting just a moment ago about this saying if cuba sun willing to make a better deal for the cuban people, the cubanAmerican People and the u. S. And a whole, i will terminate the deal. Referring to the deal made by president obama and leadership of cuba to open things up a bit. Bill a lot of reaction coming up on that in a moment. President elect donald trump had tough talk for the castro regime and cuba during the campaign. Will he keep that promise and should he . Well talk with jeff flake, the republican from arizona who makes a different argument. Well talk to him about that live. Also this today. Martha fox news alert abomb found only yards away from one of the largest u. S. Embassies in asia. Authorities say that isis could very well behind this. Well show you what the plot is believed to be. Bill also, who will mr. Trump tap as his top diplomat . More on the internal battle playing out as trump loyalists gang up on the former president ial mom any, mitt romney. Why are you campaigning against mitt romney as secretary of state . Im not campaigning against anyone. Im just a concerned citizen. Im not campaigning against mitt romney. You dont think he should be the choice . I cant tell you, chuck, this is very simple.

Manila police detonating a bomb found in a trashcan outside of building. No one was reported hurt in the incident. There are reports the way this bomb was constructed could have done significant damage and killed many people. Authorities say an isislinked group was behind the attempted attack. Police are now checking Surveillance Footage as part of their investigation. So far there have been no arrests. Matter of warfare. There is a lot of opinions about this, and yes, it is sort of a team of rivals concept if you were to go toward the governor romney concept but, i think that should tell all americans about where president elects head is at, which is a place that will put the best possible people together for all americans. Im also part for unity but im not sure we have to pay for that with the secretary of state position. Let me repeat, what donald trump decides, Kellyanne Conway and everybody else will respect. Bill appears battle lines emerge or drawn rather in the donald trump camp over mitt romney as secretary of state. Rudy giuliani, longtime trump loyalists considered as well maybe neither. John sununu, wrote the book the quiet man and governor, good morning to you. When you were working in the cabinet in the 1980s how does it work inside . Why would conway be so public in her denunciation on talk shows . What is at work here . This is the transition period. This is very typical transition. I myself was pretty controversial appointment. Once the president elect makes the decision, kellyanne is right, everybody moves in lockstep and supports the president elect. This is Donald Trumps decision. He is going to have to decide what is best for the country, what is es about for him as president and what is best for the world. And it is a much more complicated thing that just selecting between personalities. He has got to select between talent and experience. Im sure he is going to make a decide decision. Romney is an excellent close. Some of the others that have been talked about are also good choices. It is important for him to select someone that can almost instantly with him, get the respect of the world, and i think governor romney fits that mold. Bill often times this is kept inside the family so to speak. Often times its not, bill. Bill do you believe that trump put her up to this . Or is Kellyanne Conway transitioning back to private life . Neither one. I think it is just the expression of the way transitions work. And individuals who have one favorite or another look for a sliver of an argument to try to put it in the public domain. Kellyanne has access to the media. I dont know what her favorite is. She might actually be a romney supporter for all i know, and trying to test how this would be received. So it is a much more complicated process than just looks from the veneer that gets bill would a president bush 41 or 43 or president elect donald trump take exception to what she has said publicly . I dont think so. I think they understand their team is trying to do the best for them, and recognize that occasionally that is done by causing a few waves but in the long run, as Kellyanne Conway said, once donald trump makes the decision, everybody will march in lockstep behind it. Bill speaking of march, this was march 3rd, eight 1 2 months ago. Remember . Watch. Heres what i know. Donald trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from trump university. [applause] he is playing the members of the American Public for suckers. He gets a free ride to the white house and all we get is a lousy hat. Bill i dont know, can you get over that . Sure. I was pretty tough on donald trump in the primary. I supported him wholeheartedly in the general election. The two or three times he spoke when we came up here we had a good laugh about it. Bill okay. David petraeus is on that list. Rudy giuliani is on that list. You heard Kellyanne Conway explain this is, it is the most coveted slot. Who do you think gets it then . It is important to understand that getting secretary of state is not a exist to someone. Getting secretary of state is the president elect getting the person that will help him as president do the best for the country and the world. People who are looking at cabinet appointments as things to be given out as gifts are missing the point. I think donald trump so far has displayed he understands it. He is getting the people that he thinks can do the job best. There is a big difference between those two perspectives and i think bill you make a great point. If you had a vote, who would you choose . If i had a vote, i would be happy to give it to the president elect on the telephone if he calls. Bill got it. Thanks, governor, good dodge by the way. John sununu live in New Hampshire, nice to have you back. Martha. Martha more coming up straight ahead. Backlash is growing after a college in new england responded to a flag burning by removing all the flags from the whole campus. Veterans groups not so happy about that. This stands for all of the veterans around the whole nation, everybody, who fought for this flag. Its more than just a symbol. The itsy bitsy spider went up the waterspout. Down came the rain and clogged the gutter system creating a leak in the roof. Luckily the spider recently had geico help him with homeowners insurance. Water completely destroyed his swedish foam mattress. He got full replacement and now owns the sleep number bed. His sleep number setting is 25. Call geico and see how much you could save on homeowners insurance. Martha back on this monday morning with this fox news alert. Growing tensions surrounding a massachusetts colleges decision to remove all of the American Flags from campus after one was burned in protest. Veterans groups demanding that the flags be returned. Too much blood has been shed for our country for our freedom. Stand up for something but you dont need to take a flag down to do it. These flags of our nights of america. Martha holly line, live in boston. Molly, these veterans had a clear message for this campus, right . Reporter absolutely. The American Flag in pictures was brought on campus en masse, brought by hundreds of veterans. The message was clear, raise the flag, freedom is not free. They were protesting because the college decided to ache down the American Flag on campus for a College Media statement. President Jonathan Lash emphasized by not flying a flag on our colleges flagpole for the timebeing the college is seeking to enable a discussion of values among all members of our campus, not make a political statement. But this battle over the flag has been going on for weeks, after first students lowered to it halfstaff shortly after the election. Then the flag was burned. The board of trustees allowed the flag to stay at halfstaff, a movement to facilitate dialogue while the community dealt deeper into the meaning of flag and presence on our campus. President lash had this to say. Some have perceived the
