But this would be big, this would be jolting, and this for mitt romney would be a big turnaround from comments he made earlier this year to me. Why are you doing this . Well, im someone who cares very deeply about the country and about my party and i have watched from the sidelines a long time, playing kind of a role as umpire, calling some foul balls now and then, but i couldnt sit back and say nothing as i watched donald trump be more and more outrageous. In the course of that interview, the former standard bearer was saying the guy was pursuing the nomination this go around wasnt fit for the nomination and certainly not the presidency itself. We all know what happened, a lot of people are letting bygones be bygones, but this dramatically changed the landscape. If only remotely true. The meeting alone would be a big deal. Lets go to connell. Reporter we confirmed from senior aide to president elect donald trump that meeting will take place with governor mitt romney and will happen this saturday. The two of them will get together. The report he may be considered secretary of state from reuters. We have reaction from jeff sessions. We have a report of mitt romney meeting with donald trump, talking about that recently. What do you think about the idea that he is a rival from campaign season, now were past the point. Coalescing around the president elect or how do you see this . I think it is good he is meeting with mitt romney, meet white gold a lot of talented people that will be Good Relationships with. I think governor romney is capable of doing many things. He will be one of those i think reviewed. Reporter thats something we will watch through the weekend. Been watching high level officials come here to be with the president elect. Quite a scene on fifth avenue. As frank moves to my left and down fifth avenue towards 56th street where trump tower is located, you see the cameras lining up to see the vips, new yorkers, mixing in with tourists, even protesters with homemade signs and antitrump signs that have come here. Secret service and new York City Police department closed off the street south of the tower and using it as a Side Entrance to bring in important guests there. Sometimes dont see them coming in and out, always see them in the lobby when they get there, usually a big smile for the cameras as they move up the elevator to talk to mr. Trump. On the guest list today, it has been quite a list. Henry kissinger, former secretary of state, nikki haley from South Carolina here earlier and congressman hence ling, both in consideration for cabinet positions. Going to the screen, two big names from the private sector, satisfy a cruise, and fred sm t smith. All of that leading up to this weekends meeting with mitt romney, and an hour from now, mr. Trump sits down with the Prime Minister of japan, shinzo abe. Thank you very much. As he pointed out, this pow wow wouldnt take place there. Theyll be meeting at a trump compound but it is raising eyebrows. Why would mitt romney want to go back and meet with mr. Trump of whom he said very little that is good. But could this be the making of a bizarre relationship here and maybe future role in the administration. Madison, what do you think . You know, neil, i think this is going to be very interesting moving forward. Im having some trouble with my earpiece now. I apologize for that. I dont know if you can hear me. We will get you on this and show you a shot if we can while waiting of trump tower. This would stand out and be unique in that we have donald trump now meeting with probably the person who has caused him the most in the campaign, most critical of him, former republican standard bearer that said donald trump wasnt fit for office, didnt have the morals of the office or even the ethical makeup to be president of the United States, let alone republican nominee. But it has come back now to sort of say all is gone, these type of things are now an issue in the heat of the campaign and done. Susan, as we work to get madison back up with us, what do you think of this and what do you think the fallout will be . You know, it seems like every few hours we have a new name for secretary of state. I think that certainly everyone, it is a brave new world for everyone in washington and across the country. This country needs to come together. Romney waged a very respectable campaign in 2012 and he is seen as a states man type person who would be wonderful emissary for the United States. It would be great for the trump team to have mitt romney and bring the country together on this. I just talked to senator corker today who disclosed he had met with mike pence and that he was a contender as well, he was playing down notions a little earlier this week. He said yeah, he is under consideration but didnt think it would happen. All of a sudden he is meeting with mike pence. You can see that after the Rudy Giuliani trial balloon came out, there were reports of his conflict of interest, doesnt want comparisons to Hillary Clinton on that score that this is changing by the minute. Yeah. I think any of these choices, you know, romney or senator corker, corker may have some problems with the iran deal, played a delicate behind the scenes, prominent role in getting that iran deal passed through congress and it is very controversial for trump. Tough for mr. Trump to swallow. So would getting someone like mitt romney on board. Madison, if we have you back again, is there a sense here that a lot of this triggered, if true, that there were issues coming up with Rudy Giuliani and maybe his business ties would have hurt him for approval for the vital of cabinet posts where mitt romney, you could logically argue is fully vetted certainly as a president ial candidate and more so that there might be less difficulty. Yeah. I mean, mitt romney has definitely been fully vetted as he ran for president in 2012. What i think is really important is the message that mitt romney becoming secretary of state would send and thats a message of party unity. We saw president elect trump and mitt romney really suffer from many disagreements over the past 8 months and if mitt romney were to become secretary of state i think we would be able to bring the Party Together and i think this would be a very smart appointment by the president elect. But also one with rough edges. I know politics after the campaign, you move on, but this was very nasty within the says meeting with former rivals like ted cruz, all these people like a revolving door going through trump tower, different with romney, meeting in new jersey where it is less visible and like a cattle show, but just the meeting alone is a big deal, right . What we have to remember is this is an unprecedented election. Never seen an election like we have over the last year. Donald trump is a competitor. He will throw the punches through the election cycle. It is not his rough punches i am worried about, mitt romney threw rough punches at him. I remember after that interview i did with mitt romney, that just sent him into orbit. His people were furious. They were shocked a republican would do that. It is difficult for mitt romney to suffer loss in 2012 and then come back and get behind donald trump because he was a very nontraditional candidate. He never did. But at this point i think moving forward he may be able to do that, and youre right he didnt, i supported mitt romney in 2012, i was disappointed with him earlier this year but still i think he could be a smart choice for this position. Susan, politics obviously changes things. One thing came through in that interview, it angered trump people so much that donald trump blasted yours truly, the show, was shocked we would have him on. One of the arguments was pay no attention to this guy, hes just bad mouthing me, even though he asked all of the obvious questions at the time, you backed donald trump, he backed you, seemed to have a Good Relationship when you were running for president , what changed. Thats a lot to forgive and forget, isnt it . Certainly, but were seeing all kinds of things, victory has so many friends. This is typical washington situation, rather untypical race, people supporting kasich that now want to be in the administration, now it is all about jobs and what kind of lever to pull in washington, maybe i can have an influence on him, maybe can steer him in the right direction. You know, this is what happens in washington after the reality sets in. Donald trump is president and either we get around him and the republicans are thinking either we get around him, get the Supreme Court justices we want or whats the alternative . Theres not a Good Alternative now. You have to get behind making president bush join the cabinet as well. Youre right. You see the darndest things. This is a jolting development again, were reaching out to governor romney, hoping to find out more on that front. A former rival thats said nothing good about the guy that ultimately got the republican nomination and elected against all odds president of the United States, well, it is making some strange bed fellows. One day a rider made a decision. The decision to ride on and save money. He decided to save money by switching his motorcycle insurance to geico. Theres no shame in saving money. Ride on, ride proud. Geico motorcycle, great rates for great rides.

You heard media reports that president elect donald trump plans to meet with mitt romney this weekend in new jersey, not at the trump hotel. Thats gotten to be like an aquarium, everyone can see what youre doing and who is fishing for cabinet positions or something else. There are other stories that mitt romney is being seriously considered for Donald Trumps secretary of state. If all of this shocked you, youre not alone. Much of the media world, political world, pundits are shocked at this, remembering well what mitt romney had to say about donald trump, including several times on this very show, including back in early february when donald trump was wondering about mitt romney wondering about his taxes. Take a look. Frankly i think we have good reason to believe that theres a bombshell in Donald Trumps taxes. What do you mean . I think theres something there, either he is not near as wealthy as he says he is or hasnt been paying the kind of taxes we would expect him to pay or perhaps he hasnt been giving money to the vets or to the disabled like he has been telling us he has been doing, and i think the reason that i think theres a bombshell in there is because every time hes asked about his taxes, he dodges, delays, says were working on it. Were not talking about taxes due this year, of course theyre working on those, they wont be ready for months. Were talking about taxes already filed, back taxes. My back taxes when i ran in 2012, my back taxes i put out in january of 2012. Were now in late february and we still havent seen either Donald Trumps or marco rubios or ted cruzs taxes and frankly, the voters have a right to see the tax returns before they decide who our nominee ought to be. All right. Fast forward to the election, voters didnt seem to care, taxes werent an issue to them and they elected donald trump against all odds president of the United States. That ended up being a moot point. You heard what he said and followed up a month later on this very show again back then saying that donald trump wasnt fit to be the partys nominee, let alone president of the United States. But bygones are bygones, if the reports are true at the very least, the two will meet to break bread and go over their differences of the past and move forward together. This could be very different again if mitt romney is considered for secretary of state. The read from an early backer of donald trump who didnt share those views that mitt romney had of mr. Trump, the Florida Governor rick scott, Governor Scott in a crucial manner delivered the Sunshine State for mr. Trump on a way to mr. Trumps surprising victory. Good to have you, governor. Good to meet with my friend, donald trump today. You did meet him. I was here to congratulate him on his win. Always believed he would win our great state, a lot like my race, a businessman, outsider. Did he offer you a cabinet position. I like my job. The way you think of it, i have to get my stuff done. Youre not interested. I am not interested. Health and human services. I am interested in helping rewrite obamacare, redesign the government, working with 33 leadership governors republican governors. Who knows the Health System better than you, that would be a natural. I will do everything i can to rewrite. I will do everything i can. Would you like a cabinet position if one were offered . Im staying in florida. Understood. Sorry to be obnoxious. What do you make of the mitt romney stuff . I believe you need to make sure, first off it is the Trump Administration, always going to be the Trump Administration, what his beliefs are. So all of this talk about different positions and things like that, it is still the Trump Administration. I always believe you should surround yourself that believe in what youre doing, will do everything they can to support you. Mitt romney didnt. At all. Well, i think if you look at donald trump, he has a history of picking really good people and making sure they do their job. Whoever he picks but he is also unloyal, and whatever the reasons for mr. Romneys differences, he did not like donald trump at all. Yeah. Donald trump is going to find the best people. Hes going to make sure they do their job and hes going to hold everybody accountable. My goal is hes very successful, my state will be successful. Do you think it is important a president elect pick people that at least liked him . Well, first off it is important to have people that believe in what you believe in and are going to support what you do. You know, it is hard to be a president , hard to be governor, i think it is important to pick people that have your beliefs. Did you when you assembled staff and surprisingly. Shocked everybody. Shocked the world, did you remember those who dismissed you or were cruel or said awful things about you . Neil, basically almost no republican endorsed me when i ran. I remember well. To have republicans as my agency heads and things like that, i had to forget some of the things people said. Was that hard to do . Sure its hard. Do you think donald trump could get over that with a cabinet that might include, should think about pence. He first was supporting ted cruz, so thats one thing, but this is a whole different thing. I think donald trump will surround himself with good people. He chooses people well. I would help him. We have tape, governor, tape comes out we play that says here is what he said. It is one thing to say i like this other candidate but he said i really hate this guy. I think hes got specific goals to get done, hes going to surround himself with good people. Im going to do everything i can to help. In the end it will work out. I am going to do everything i can. We have to repeal obamacare, get rid of parts of government that dont work. So much federal government, theres no return on investment. Donald trump will focus on that. Governor, thank you very, very much. Governor rick scott from the fine state of florida.
