sure. but perhaps former mayor of new york city rudy giuliani is high on the list. perhaps former united nations ambassador and fox news contributor john bolton. here is mayor giuliani when asked about this. >> first of all i won't be attorney general. so good, i won't have to decide that one. >> make that clear. >> choice for secretary of state in the trump administration is rudolph giuliani, john is bolton. we don't have john bolton here tonight. i will ask you questions. >> john would be a very good choice. >> is there anybody better? >> maybe me, i don't know. [laughter]. bill: wow. martha: kristin fisher live in washington. what are you hearing about mr. trump's pick for secretary of state today? >> martha i asked john bolton bit this morning and he took a very different approach than the one you just say from rudy giuliani. bolton, wouldn't say a word about it. giuliani publicly said he does not want to be attorney general, which would force the trump transition team to consider him for something else like secretary of state. here is what trump's campaign manager kellyanne c

running. rudy giuliani is bringing down the house. melania trump has her big night, but not without controversy. nice. i'm bill hemmer. how you feeling? martha: day two is on. i'm martha maccallum. donald trump is not expected to speak until later in the week. watch this. that was something. we are the champions blaring in the background. some cam paired it to a wwe moment. it had a television feel to it. he was like a rock star entering the stage. he introduced his wife melania. mrs. trump delivered one of the biggest speeches of the night. she was there to tell the full story of her house, the man he is and shoe she sees him with stories of her own upbringing. >> my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life. that your work is your bond, and you do what you say and keep your promise. that you treat people with respect. they showed me values and morals in their daily lives. that is a lesson i continue to pass along to our son. and we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow because we want our children in this nation to kn

bottle with the stuff president is doing last few years. bill: rudy giuliani was here yesterday, he is a trump supporter but he did not came out and i endorse him, the reason he said that he felt he didn't want to have to defend trump on everything or always make a statement, depending what all matters pertain to donald trump. >> sure. bill: why is that? you are of a different mind. you've been speaking on his behalf for months now. >> yeah. well, i not only speak for donald, i speak for our party. i said i will support any of the nominees whether it is kasich or cruz or trump. yeah, i was one of the first supporters but i'm also a realist. i understand what we need to do to take back the country, to take back our party, re-establish trust with our allies, fear with our foes. we need i believe somebody who is not like the others. someone who is outsider, real outsider. senator cruz is a senator. he is not a real outsider like donald trump is. my hope is that he will have an opportunity to work on his unfavorables as he and hillary have the two worst unfavorable ratings of anyone running

the flood to contact the red cross. martha: thank you very much. bill: former new york mayor rudy giuliani says he will vote for donald trump in today's primary, but he won't go so far as to make an endorsement. martha: ted cruz calls himself scene outsider. but he's slowly calling himself the gop's establishment the candidate. >> it's easy to talk about making america great again. but the real question is, do you understand the principles and values that made america great in the first place? bill: polls are open in new york. a bit of a trickle coming in there. some of the pictures coming in, depending on the polling place, either they were empty or jams. new york is open for business. democrats and republicans. for republicans it actually matters. imagine that. martha: it many mid april and we are still in primary season. the new york battle underway. donald trump hoping to sweep all 95 delegates in his home state. but can he do that? ted cruz is betting on turning the tide as it moves across the country. the texas senator telling bill o'reilly how he would deal with hillary cli

-elect. our fox news brain room looked at guest list and according to them, rudy giuliani is the only other jobseeker to see mr. trump more than once since the election. mr. romney joins him. this meeting is over dinner. that is very uncommon for the trump transition process. that will be headline today. yesterday's headliner, retired general david petraeus explained how the interview process works and who did not dismiss possibility of joining trump team if he is asked. >> he basically walked us around the world. showed a great grasp of a have it roof challenges that are out there and some of the opportunities as well. so, very good conversation and we'll see where it goes from here. reporter: also, on the guest list today, senator bob corker, republican from tennessee. he is the senate foreign ryelations committee chairman. he is is one of the only republicans from congress who campaigned alongside donald trump this summer when many were hesitant too. martha: a lot of bus surrounding him. peter, thank you very much. bill: a trump steak? steve hayes, fox news contributor, "weekly sta

surprise? former mayor rudy giuliani, trump advisor is in studio next on that. martha: plus with two weeks to go donald trump severs ties with the fund-raising arm of the gop. how this could affect the down-ballot scramble to keep control of the house and senate. bill: bill o'reilly taking on the charge of a rigged american political system. we'll debate that in a moment. fair and balanced. >> mr. trump should accept whatever happens at that vote, unless there is compelling evidence of corruption. undermining our electoral system is not a patriotic thing. i'm only in my 60's. i've got a nice long life ahead. big plans. so when i found out medicare doesn't pay all my medical expenses, i got a medicare supplement insurance plan.

rudy giuliani and others to talk about his business acumen in lose be $916 million. it could be wash for trump in the ends. bill: now trump could talk about what his tax plan could do for every day americans. >> this is -- we have seen polling over months that has asked the public, should donald trump release his tax returns. every candidate since 1996 has done this. the polls are very strong. what you just said about him talking about his tax plan is a real point. think of every single trump and dealing that we had, judge curiel or alicia machado, the solution for trump to every one of these scandals is to go out and talk about these scandals. that what's he has declined to do in each of these policies. bill: this is a what if scenario. 270 to go over the top of the next president. '. clinton is 201 and trump 164. we believe if you take some of these battleground states listed in gray, we believe he has an next ohio, iowa, a slight advantage in north carolina, the the same for colorado and the same for nevada. hoik prr meanwhile -- let's say under this scenario she picks up wisconsi

coming and going. including mr. rudy giuliani, reportedly a favorite of the next secretary of state of united states of america. how about this one? ted cruz showed up there yesterday. mr. trump's fiercest rival. remember the things they said about each other over the course election. reports he is being considered potentially for attorney general. bill: trump family went to a local restaurant, the 21 club. trump took to twitter saying following. slamming reports of this chaotic transition and saying very organized process taking place as i decide on cabinet, many other positions. i am only one who knows who the finalists are, end quote, tweet. martha: doug mckelway live outside of trump tower in new york city. mr. trump pushing back on this image that the transition team is experiencing chaos right now. what do we really know? reporter: well, he is pushing back on that. we're seeing some movement towards a formal codification of the transition with mike pence signing this document last night, this memorandum which formalizes the transition between administrations and may help to move

leaders for not backing trump. former new york city mayor rudy giuliani is on deck. >> if they keep up their stubborn, stupid game, it seems there are supporting a woman who is a corrupt politician. i'm terrible at golf. he is. but i'd like to keep being terrible at golf for as long as i can. new patented ensure enlive has hmb plus 20 grams of protein to help rebuild muscle. for the strength and energy to do what you love. new ensure enlive. always be you. at safelite, we know how busy life can be. these kids were headed to their first dance recital... ...when their windshield got cracked... ...but they couldn't miss the show. so dad went to the new safelite-dot-com. and in just a few clicks, he scheduled a replacement... ...before the girls even took the stage. safelite-dot-com is the fast, easy way to schedule service anywhere in america! so you don't have to miss a thing. y'all did wonderful! that's another safelite advantage.

are calling it which includes mitt romney and rudy giuliani. bob corker is also on that list. why do you think this process has been so public. the meetings and dinners and additions to the list. what do you think he's doing here? >> i think he wants people to know for this particularly important role, he is really going all-out and going the extra mile in looking at a broad list and in-depth at each individual. he wants to make sure people understand this is not an off-the-cuff decision for this particular job. he wants to make sure this one in particular is seen as having been looked at in depths. >> you think mitt romney is the choice you would prefer. why not rudy giuliani. >> rudy is a good guy. corker can do the job. john bolton's experience is a good qualifier. there is a good list there. unless he gets some exceptional addition to this we don't know of, i think he would be pretty good from picking from that list. martha: you have got defense, then you have the head of the nfc in general flynn. it's important they work well together and have different talents and different

: rudy giuliani taking criticism for calling the black lives movement inherently racist. our panel will debate whether or not he has a point. >> they don't mean black lives matter. they mean let's agitate against the police matter. if they meant black lives matter they would do something about the way the vast majority of blacks are killed in america. >> it's inherently racist because it divides us. all lives matter. the black lives matter never protest when every 14 hours somebody is killed in chicago, probably 70-80% of the time a black person. where are they then when a young black child is killed? that's the predominant way in which a black person will be killed, by another black, not by a police officer. what are they doing about that? that means they don't mean black lives matter. they mean let's agitate against the police matters. bill: that's former new york mayor rudy giuliani doing a lot of interviews over the weekend saying black lives matter are racist. his larger point is that if black lives matter cared about black lives, they would have been in chicago a year ago or two y

clinton is so confident of november she is already repairing her road to the white house. rudy giuliani saying mr. trump could have history on his side. >> it's really early in that sense. at this stage of the campaign, george bush 41 was behind michael dukakis by 16%. at this point in the campaign ronald reagan was behind jimmy carter by numbers fairly similar to numbers you just showed. eric: 8y pavlich joins us. and lisa booth. let me start with you. this call by donald trump this morning here on fox news calling for the clinton foundation to shut down. how do you think that will play in the race? >> if he can give details about why it should be shut down, he would be more effective. he's right. the clinton foundation is corrupt. it's a question of whether hillary clinton should have been involved in the clinton foundation when she was at the state department taking upony from foreign actors. they continue fliewnsd her at the state department and there is a lot of investigation into that. why wouldn't they be able to do so at the white house. when he points out she took mone

name rudy giuliani came up among others. this is how she responded to that. >> rudy giuliani is still in the mix. that is obviously the president-elect has not said pub pickly who is and who is not. those on the list are moving forward. it will come down to one man's decision. bill: we know that. it is one man's decision. >> right. bill: there is a piece out today, that suggests some of the original trumpers are being i given not the back of the hand but they are not given first dibs. can you make a case that is true so far? >> well i can tell you this. the reason that politicians or people in and around politics would feel slighted by donald trump at this point is that he is not acting like a politician. the way politicians work, they keep their team together. they have core group of people and move forward with them. they hang around. later they get embarrassed get into scandals with them and all sorts of problems later but team cohesion. guy you started running for city council and governor and president and you stick together. trump is doing this like business deal a, win th

. rudy giuliani is in the back seat of the suv with him as they get into the old post office this morning. joining us to talk on the phone about everything going on this morning is bill o'reilly. bill, good morning to you. >> hey, guys. martha: thoughts on whatõ:6 we'e going to hear this morning from mr. trump? >> well, you got to talk about hillary clinton's slashing attack of a few minutes ago. you know, she is trying to throw trump off his game and bait him and blunt momentum, trump the polls show has momentum. be interesting to see what he said about the "birther" thing. should have discredited that a long time ago. you guys might remember i asked him about that last week. that started this round. itqccbl is an easy play. all he has to do say look, i had suspicions. i checked them out. i thought they were legitimate. it was too much fog around it but now i have come to the conclusion the president was born in the usa he was. that is plays to bed. martha: he had severa not to sa, he is building suspense himself. mariad him about this morning. he said i'm not going to answer yo

definition. are there leading republicans, people like newt gingrich, rudy giuliani and others who are saying you've got to get it together, and what he's got to get it together about is in this case made clear by our poll. his numbers didn't go up or down, but -- statistically speaking. but hillary clinton's surge pretty clearly can be tracked to his comments about the khan family and his feud be, ongoing feud with this gold star family, and it's just been a disaster. bill: a bit of a bump out of the philadelphia convention too, right? >> oh, yeah, absolutely. bill: byron, you say trump is locked in a cycle. of what? >> yeah. well, it was a week ago tonight that khizr khan went on stage, and what we have seen is really, really negative news coverage driving the polls down. and falling polls driving republican panic which in turn drives more negative news coverage. trump is in this cycle right now, and i think what beam are telling him what people are telling him, and i don't know there's going to be people around a conference table, there's newt, there's rudy, there's trump. that's not going

. long-time trump supporter 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 don't 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, becau

john kirby is our guest. he will stop by in a few moments. then rudy giuliani on how we can turn this all around. martha: obviously hillary clinton will have a lot of questions having been secretary of state. 17 salt miners rescued just moments ago. watch this. [cheers] martha: how did they get stuck there in the first place and the amazing rescue. bill: the powerball jackpot just got a whole lot bigger. martha: type to buy your tickets. what makes this simple salad the best simple salad ever? heart healthy california walnuts. the best simple veggie dish ever? heart healthy california walnuts. the best simple dinner ever? heart healthy california walnuts. great tasting, heart healthy california walnuts. so simple. get the recipes at walnuts.org. >> days after the paris attacks, senators came together for a top-secret briefing on the terrorist threat... marco rubio was missing - fundraising in california instead. two weeks later, terrorists struck again in san bernardino... and where was marco? fundraising again in new orleans. over the last 3 years, rubio has missed important national

pick, one of the names who doesn't pop up rudy giuliani who did a great job after september 11th, thoughts on that? >> rudy giuliani was -- i'm a new yorker and rudy giuliani was a terrific mayor and terrific leader in the days after 9/11. we will see if the bet pays or not. he would have been a great pick for homeland security as well. we will see where hi comes out on that. martha: mike mccaul was in and it's clear that already a lot of people in the mix and some of them are maybe getting into a different position. talk to us a little bit about pruitt because people who are concerned about the environment, some of them feel that he is not the right guy for this, what do you think? >> well, pruitt is concerned about the environment. we are all concerned about the pruitt. it's great to have the state official in charge of epa. the states are intended to be the principal regulators of the environment. people closest to be making decisions and he -- president obama has been abusing the powers of the epa to impose a radical environmental agenda on this country that is killing jobs a

mayor rudy giuliani it's proof just how serious the threat of terrorism has become worldwide. >> almost seems like ten years of terror attacks, doesn't it? i think what we are seeing how much more dangerous the world has become. is the world was dangerous the day before or after september 11th, the answer is yes. it's like a cancer and we have allowed it to happen because we didn't keep our eye on isis. bill: where are we today? greg with the latest from there. greg. >> bill, you're right. important new developments. it looks like we have a new manhunt for a new suspect of a mass murderer, reports and accounts are saying that the police are looking for tanasian man, they found i dean -- identity papers. he came to germany last year in the big wave of immigrants, reports that he was trying to get asylum in germany but also on a danger watch list. he was considered a terror threat. he had contacted fed with chief isis recruiter in germany who was just arrested last month. he was said to be under surveillance but went under ground in the last couple of weeks, this, of course, as

jackson. i've spoken to rudy giuliani who also says look he is shaking it up. there is a churchhill, sort of quality about him, a reagan quality some people have said. i think these comparisons would have been considered absolutely impossible not that long ago. my question when you have people like you and people like rudy giuliani and rick scott in florida, are you all sort of trying to somewhat, you know, soften the ground a bit for a potential donald trump nomination and say to people, look, this is legitimate. you need to take him seriously? >> well, first of alls, i have a number of very good friends in this race. i have been with john kasich who balanced budget when i was speaker for over 20 years. he is a great person. would make a great president. i have been with jeb bush who i campaigned with back in 1992, terrific person. there are a lot of good candidates in this race, but if you're observer analyst, things i do here at fox news you have some obligation to look at reality. the reality from the day he announced from june 16th donald trump has been frontrunner. that may al

with names like rudy giuliani, chris christie and ben carson. >> would you do it before you went into cleveland so you would have a squad you are coming and with? >> i like the idea of doing some of this before we go into cleveland. i could do that and it would be well received. (politely) wait, wait, wait! you can't put it in like... ...that, you have to rinse it first that's baked- on alfredo. baked-on? it's never gonna work. dish issues? cascade platinum... powers... through... your toughest stuck-on food. so let your dishwasher be the dishwasher. see? told you it would work. cascade. bill: with donald trump emerging as the presumptive republican nominee, how can he heal what has become a very fractured republican party? bill o'reilly had a few ideas last night. >> i believe before you get to cleveland you are going to try to consolidate the republican establishment's support by doing the following. appointing rudy giuliani the homeland security chief, appointing chris christie the attorney general and ben carson in charge of health and human services. i said i think trump is going

-elect during his campaign, jeff session, rudy giuliani was originally said to be the top contender for the state department job. apparently trump, president-elect is a little wary of some of the reports about his business interests overseas. romney, what is really surprising, he wasn't just critical of donald trump during the primary but he never actually came around to him in the general election. rings perry you recall, was very critical of donald trump saying he was a cancer on conservatism, right when the primary ended rick perry was on board a official surrogate. romney never got there. surprising that trump would bring him in. that is not entirely out of character. we saw during the trump many campaign reached out to john kasich if kasich would be interested in being vice president. i think donald trump has a history of sort of liking to take people against him and bringing him on to his side. bill: the kasich matter was last spring but perry matter was much more recent. perry went to the point where he was showing up to debates and supporting trump. going into the spin room,

those who remain. melissa: former new york city mayor rudy giuliani praising donald trump's immigration plan. >> this man is a ingenious negotiator. he knows how to find common ground web when there is disagreement. megyn: how will his deportation force effect latino voters? we'll talk to reince priebus next. gregg: a new controversy of emails. what the document reveal about the clinton department'slings about the state department and their potential impact on the clinton cap pain. but first, here is donald trump. >> in hillary clinton's world we have one set of rules for her and another set of rules for everybody else. i am fighting for everyone who doesn't have a voice. i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhale

three camps within the transition team; those who support the romney pick, those who prefer rudy giuliani and those who want trump to keep searching for other options. much of the opposition to romney goes back to the blistering criticisms he laid against mr. trump in the primaries in a nationally televised speech. he called mr. trump a fraud and said he posed a fundamental threat to american democracy. the concern is how after comments like that romney could be completely loyal to a president trump and entrusted to push mr. trump's agenda. ed henry reports there are talks among the transition team of having romney issue an apology for his previous statements, maybe a letter or public statement of some sort. gregg: yeah. that might seem like groveling for the sake of getting a job. [laughter] apart from secretary of state, could we hear any other announcements today for additional picks? >> reporter: it's certainly a possibility. on wednesday the trump transition team said they would likely be making mom announcements after thanksgiving -- some announcements after thanksgiving. w

bannon. national security advisor general mike flynn and rudy giuliani, who just took himself out of the running for secretary of state. once we had leveled off i asked the president-elect, about his new life. there is a lot of curiosity about your life-style as president. are you going to live in the white house? are you going to spend most of your time at trump to youer? >> no, i will live in the white house with my family. baron will finish up school because he has just a couple of months to go, so it's a little hard to take him out of school. melania will be back and forth for that first couple months. no we'll stay in the white house. >> you talk about the fact that mrs. trump will stay back in new york with baron until he finishes school. are you going to be lonely rattling around in the white house by yourself for a few months? >> no. i will be working. i will be working. it's a very special place. it represents so much, and there is a lot to do. there is a lot to do. more than i even thought. it is so many things we can do to make america great again. i mean that is what i

? >> hard to tell. john bolton is in the running, rudy giuliani, mitt romney is roundly criticized by trump advisers, publicly still in the running according to donald trump who wouldn't take it off the table, general david petraeus, there has been a little bit of pushback on that. joe mention is an interesting choice, democrat from west virginia, democratic senator, forgot what to do with that speech he chose for the job. donald trump thinks is very important and the representation of the united states around the world, he wants to make sure he is the right person to do that job. >> he said we have come a long way. >> when they got together there was a lot of criticism, mitt romney said horrible things about donald trump at the bottom line is they were willing to put aside their differences, their egos and come together what they can do for the betterment of the country, whether they were able to reconcile all their viewpoints whether on russia or other issues, is another story. a lot of people in line for the job and i am sure donald trump will make the best decision to represent

: black lives matter getting their presence known inside and outside the dnc. rudy giuliani will be here next to talk about a miss the opportunity. >> what happened to there is no black america. there is no white america. there is just america! what happened to it? where did it go? >> she knows that when a young black life is cut short, it's not just a loss, it's a personal loss. >> hillary clinton isn't afraid to say that black lives matter. she isn't afraid to sit at a table with grieving mothers. bill: big moment, powerful moment, the mothers of the movement addressing the crowd in philly. that movement is made up of several mothered who lost children to violence. i guess if you could stable it you would have those women on stable and would have perhaps the widows of police officers also appear and they would come together and hug and that is probably the moment we would be talking about today. >> it is, but that's not what you got. you got a moment that make it clear the democratic party and this president created an anti-police atmosphere. all you have to do is talk to one of your l

threats. it came up, but only in passing. lanny davis is here. >> this is what rudy giuliani did this morning when he walked into fox. xing out the photograph of hillary clinton and president obama. we should be respectful of the differences. bill: i are respect you and you can take that up with the former mayor. a year ago people were thinking why didn't you beat isis? >> not so easy and so difficult. isis is part of a movement in order to destroy isis and all the airstrikes and drone strike and the killing of isis leaders it's going to take a while to destroy isis. bill: you would agree this is an issue that's been sidestepped. i talked to chuck schumer about the lack of this topic and he turns and deflects to donald trump. this is something the administration has to answer for. >> i think the administration. president obama, and hillary clinton will be talking about isis and the need to destroy both. that sentence was repeated self times. maybe not to the extent you were listening. the al qaeda movement and 9/11 began a long time ago. it's just as wrong to blame george bush for al

iowa in 1992 but he did it because tom harkin was from iowa and he had the place wrapped up. rudy giuliani more recent times skipped iowa and did not run a successful strategy, rather in new hampshire. i don't know how you, is that apples to apples or not do you believes, those two campaigns? >> look, if you want other examples, george herbert walker bush did not skip iowa and came in third in '88. came to new hampshire. did it new hampshire way and came out of here a winner and went on to the presidency. it changes a bit every four years, bill. it is hard to predict how it has changed ahead of time but everybody will have a field day looking backwards next tuesday and explaining to us all how it did change or not change. bill: true on that. quickly on the undecideds, said up to 39% here in iowa could change their minds tonight. after talking to many of them this weekend i believe that number to be accurate. is it the same in new hampshire? >> yeah, it is at least the same in new hampshire in my opinion. and even though new hampshire doesn't follow iowa, in terms of reacting the s

biggest thing here, gregg, frankly is there are better choices. in my opinion, people like rudy giuliani who's a true post-9/11 leader, smart, intuitive, intelligent and built ask to move. and what we're looking for is someone who's going to stand with our friends, take on our enemies, take out isis and deal with a position of strength as an extension of what i think will become known as trump doctrine, and i think that's going to be a breath of fresh air. gregg: the point that this was an excessively personal attack, according to huckabee, you know, he was attacking his character, his integrity, his honor. want to play a clip here. here's mitt romney during the campaign. listen. >> here's what i know. donald trump is a phony, a fraud. his promises are as worthless as a degree from trump university. [applause] he's 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. gregg: well, isn't romney a sucker if he serves as secretary of state, robin? >> no, not at all. you know, the campaign was vicious. the 2008

convention? rudy giuliani said you get bad weeks and good weeks. how would you rate this last week? >> an improving week. bill: thank you, sir. paul manafort, campaign manager for trump. an improving week. thanks. liz: defense secretary ash carter comparing isis to a cancer saying it must be defeated anywhere it spreads. is the u.s. doing enough to defeat the terror army? we'll ask "the man who killed usama bin laden." navy seal rob o'neill. the olympics get set to kick off. they have their very own version of carpool karaoke.

rigged. listen to what rudy giuliani said. >> when he talked about a rigged election. he's not talking but it's going to be rigged at the polls. he's talking about 80-85 percent of the media is rigged against him. when you pick up the papers there are three story front page that are anti-trump. reporter: donald trump is talking about it being rigged at the polls. giuliani said plenty of dead people vote and most of those dead people history shows vote for the democratic party. martha: that happening in chicago and texas and lbj's election. so it has happened before. donald trump in terms of his preparation for this debate, what does that look like? >> he spent all day yesterday doing debate prep. it went much longer than even members of his campaign expected it was going to. i talked to a couple people in his campaign saying it was very hard. he wants to keep it all on policy. he wants to attack hillary clinton much the same way he did at the town hall debate. but the problem is he's going to get asked about all these allegations brought forward by all of these women. he has to have a

places in his administration, rudy giuliani, newt gingrich and others, then there will be outsiders. i would submit, what trump works out best is adding in a demonstration of goodwill, two at ins like kelly ayotte, a heartbreakingly close senate race in new hampshire, which she would be the kind of person, the secretary of defense, that is a way to reach out to the other side of the republican party and some democrats into the administration, like joe mansion or someone who represents parts of the country that voted for trump. >> you heard peter ducey describing the meeting with paul ryan. when you consider there was an event they were trying to put together before the vote, it did not happen of where these men are? >> trust but verify. this goes for both of them. trump will watch to see why it continues to be, ryan will be watching trump to see if he wants to govern in a conservative fashion which i think trump gets several free shots. he will get republicans generally oppose borrowing and spending to go for a massive infrastructure buildout. he is going to get on border security, he

republicans after eight years under president obama. there it is. rudy giuliani expressing appreciation for the president's comments, president obama after trump's victory. >> i thought the president handled himself with dignity and professionalism. i always said this about president obama despite my deep disagreements with him, he the gentleman, he conveyed that yesterday at the right moment and mrs. clinton giving the enormous emotional i am sure upset she had, i lost an election and i know the feeling. martha: a big chore as donald trump and republicans get ready to put in place their new agenda with an almost unprecedented ability to do so in the senate and house being republican. the republican national committee chairman, a big shout out from president-elect donald trump on his election night, great to have you with us. good morning to you. >> i like hearing you say the word republican so many times. that sounds good. martha: you look back on 48 hours ago or so, you think about the fact the discussion was how will this civil war divided republican party ever put itsel

moment ago we saw rudy giuliani walking inside there. welcome to "america's newsroom." heather: the trump campaign manager kellyanne conway saying the president-elect's decision not to pursue clinton's case. bill: now we parse the language with republican senator lyndsey graham. thank you for your time today. we were on with john ashe crafts and we asked about this, and he said i would be a little cautious that this did not cover all the clinton matters. the department of justice has the authority to pursue whatever charges it choose. what do you think about this now? >> so much for lock her up, i guess. the bottom line is i think the clinton foundation, the whole mess needs to be looked at with an independent view, not a political agenda. i never believed this justice department under obama would seriously look at what she may have done. i can understand want to go put the election behind us and heal the nation. i believe all the things donald trump said about how crooked she was, that we don't let it go without some serious efforts to see if the slaw was violated. that would be a

people highly respected like rudy and others, i think that could lead to something pretty good. reporter: that proposed ban on muslims is one of the big divisions between trump and ryan. he's softening his position to give speaker ryan that he and speaker ryan may be more on the same page than speaker ryan initially thought they were. martha: in terms of when they get inside, what's the substance expected to be of these discussions, john? >> they probably aren't going to get into the substance of the issues. sources scrubbed it as a statement of principles. he will outline where they are on particular issues. there are certainly points of commonality in terms of the desire for job creation, tax cuts. it's a short meeting. it's only supposed to be a half-hour to 40 minutes long. this was described to me by people on speaker ryan's side as the beginning of a process. we don't know if anybody is going to come out and raise hands together and say we raised. >> number of different points. >> in terms of who is in there and his friend on capitol hill, will any of those be along with

easy to pronounce than nikki haley. and she'll do a good job just as i think rudy if he is appointed will do a good job. and obviously general mat is is an outside the box but an amazing proposal for secretary of defense. judge the president-elect by his actual actions of the people he's putting in place, not by his show of compassion. heather: what about all of those folks when who voted for donald trump when he talked about appointing a special prosecutor and sending hillary clinton to jail? they feel like he lied and is going back on his word. >> we'll be asking the president elect to reactivate some form of meaningful special prosecutor so the next time a cabinet nebraska or somebody involved in the government is accused of doing wrong, you won't have the inherent conflict of interest. i any there will be legislative discussion with the new president. they will be meaningful in order for him to keep his promise of draining the swamp or as i like to say, taking the swamp things out of the swamp. heather: does it continue to prove different rules for different people. some people h

matters is rudy giuliani before he was mayor. he is being, his name bandied around as possible attorney general. here is what mr. giuliani said about this issue. >> i'm going to make a guess, not a definitive statement.uld e a decision like that you would give that to an independent counsel. you wouldn't make it as the appointee of, you know the new president. we have a lot of precedent for that. we've done that in the past. or, it may be that you want to sort of put that behind you. i don't know. that's a tough decision. eric: as you were saying, what would it take for an independent counsel to be named if indeed there is one? >> i think for some reason the new president felt like, that it wasn't being investigated properly but from a political standpoint it benefits everybody to sort of move on from this. that is not to say that the clintons wouldn't be held accountable for what they have done. eric: what if there were crimes? >> exactly. eric: if they are true and there was malfeasance and criminal activity going on? >> exactly. i think it would be very wrong for a new presi

was when he ran a prosecutorial campaign against her at the convention. rudy giuliani, chris christie, scott walker, mike pence and donald trump himself, none of this other extemporaneous issues, none of this yelling about the media, not attacking everyone except hillary clinton, donald trump was leading all across the country. some people said he was odds-on-favorite to win the election. what happened over last 2 1/2 weeks, exactly opposite campaign. where he is unfocused, unclear and definitely not holding hillary clinton accountable. that has been his mistake. that is the reason why he has fallen not just nationwide but states that matter. bill: states that matter, "wall street journal" on friday afternoon, came out with head-to-head match ups, north carolina, virginia, she pulled ahead in each of those. i'm assuming that is to what you're referring, frank? >> that's exactly. you can add some other states. not just florida, north carolina, virginia, you have to look at ohio, you have to look at pennsylvania, these are states that donald trump absolutely must win to get to

lot of people were grouped in with mitt romney's criticism. you look at rudy giuliani and newt gingrich, some of the strongest supporters from material on have not shown up on that big screen as people who retain positions with the administration. >> i understand where the governor is coming from and president-elect trump understands it, too. that's why this is a sensitive subject and it will take a lot of deliberation. that's why i don't think anyone should expect anything imminent on this position yet. but people should be encouraged by the fact that we have a president-elect that's willing to talk to people who are knowledgeable, talented, very smart, to either choose those people or at the very least glean information from people that we can learn from. don't be discouraged by any of this other than to say that the right decision will be made for the american people. and i can assurer that's exactly the mindset that president-elect trump has. it's a very presidential, mature position and place for him to be in. and that's where he's at every day. you are seeing it by the ap

get into the debate about hillary clinton with juli -- with rudy giuliani. >> if you talk about doing what she want to do, rally our forces against isis. you have got to come back to the white house and sit in the situation room and you can't leave -- >> barack obama doesn't want to rally anybody. >> she helped create isis. hillary clinton can be considered a founding member of isis. bill: hillary clinton is going to run on her record as secretary of state. giuliani is giving us a preview for how donald trump will campaign against her. isis if it did not start under her watch, certainly flourished. >> she did yesterday. she talked about enhanced security. enhanced use of silicon valley. i think she is going to have to consider as i would lyndsey graham said it more troops. but i think that's a grotesque exaggeration by mayor giuliani. i think it's grotesque to caught her a founding member of isis. all this does is underscore we have no strategy and no plans. plenty to blame obama for and hillary for. but this excessive rhetoric only hurts. >> it's all fair. she supported president oba

indicted. one of those is rudy giuliani who was this morning on "fox & friends." >> my days in the government, which in large part was pre-internet that could not be taken out of my safe, out of my office. >> right. >> i never took top secret material out of my office. >> do you see an indictment? >> i don't know how you avoid it. tell me how you avoid it? martha: we'll see. let's bring in alan colmes, hoist of alan colmes show, fox news contributor. brad blakeman, deputy assistant to president george w. bush. welcome, gentlemen. good to have you both here. i didn't know there was something called a sap. it is a special access program is apparently only allowed to be communicated about those with very highest level of clearance for all of these classified documents of the alan, are you concerned about this? >> i'm not horribly. i think that, from what i understand, a lot of this material, some of it was already published in the "new york times," for example. it concerned drone strikes, stuff that was already public. i question whether this is information that was selectively leaked

day you are seeing something on your phone about another attack. here is rudy giuliani talking about that over the weekend. >> isis was a jv before barack obama. then he never recognized how bad is your intelligence. how bad is your state department if you don't recognize that isis had become a dangerous organization. so hillary has had her chance, and she screwed up. >> where hillary misses it is where obama misses it. they are waning epic jihad war against us. we treat it as such and treat detainees like this or treat it as criminal acts. and that's what we are doing right now. that shift hasn't occurred amongst our leadership and we are not doing the thing necessary to destroy isis and prevent these attacks. this is a dangerous time, bill. i'm hearing this from experts across. they are taking advantage of this space on the calendar under the obama administration hoping they get a continuation of the policies. bill: one more question about this missing detainee. how often do we track them down or do they disappear for good. >> a lot of them do disappear. we are down to 80 detainees

will be returning to speak at the rnc. marcus luttrell, rudy giuliani, general michael flynn. dana white who is the president of the ultimate fighting championship and patricia smith, the mother of sean smith, one of five brave americans killed in benghazi on september 11, 2012. chris christie, jeff sessions, and newt gingrich were all on the speakers' slots. governor mike pence was not a huge supporter of donald trump during the primary campaign. bill: what is trump saying about the process of picking a running mate? >> as of yesterday, he had not made up his mind. but we know about this idea of a short list. anywhere between 2 and 6 people after he met with governor pence yesterday, most of the trump family went over to meet as well. he sat over for an exclusive interview about where that list is. people he might have ruled out are still on that list. listen to this. >> i want to pick somebody who is solid and smart. i'm looking for somebody that understands what we are talking about. i would rather have the whole thing be on policy. reporter: he says he's still look at chris chr

rudy giuliani is attacked. they don't like when presidential candidates descend into the mud. if hillary clinton attacks donald trump on women issue he has a right to defend himself but he should keep it pithy. >> look, i think that the real truth here is donald trump and hillary clinton neither one of them have said most offensive things about one another but hillary clinton has said the most offensive thing in this campaign about the american people when she called millions of trump supporters deplorable and irredeemable and only followed that up to call bernie sanders supporters losers that live in their parents's basement. that shows utter contempt that hillary clinton has for any american that doesn't support her whether they're a man or woman. i think that is the most offensive thing anyone has said. bill: i think pence and kaine both have an opportunity here. they have an opportunity to paint a picture of hillary clinton or donald trump as, as a person that you know, that middle four to 6% can believe in. how does pence close that argument the most effective way tonight? >

this fall. bill: this morning on "fox and friends" he suggested rudy giuliani might head up a special committee on muslim immigration in america. as a senior adviser are you in tune with that possibility. >> a majority of americans understand we have to do a better job screening good people from bad people as they come into the country. you look at immigration in total to make sure we let the best and the brightest come in best who can row the boat with the rest of us. bill: should we expect that announcement soon? >> we have a lot of things going on. bill: it's a work in progress on the campaign coming together the way it is. we hope you come back because we would like to follow and figure out what's happening on the inside. thank you. martha: dramatic dash cam footage capturing minivan mayhem. this woman on the run from police. bill: a deadly stabbing spree. a suspect crashed his car into a macy's and did a lot of dan inside. >> you don't expect thing like this to happen in your neighborhood. i'm in vests and as a vested investor in vests, i invest with e*trade, where investors can

brand being working professional mother. instead the main surrogate, rudy, christie and newt have virtue and advantages but they will not soften trump up any. martha, politically trump needs to the extent he can, stop talking about this. stop talking about the accusers. stop talking about the election being rigged. instead go back to his core message of change. if he has any chance of tightening this thing up on the end that is what he needs to do. martha: say it again, we got to go. we've seen politicians all the time say, i said all i'm going to say about that and move on. >> rich is right though. tough repeat your core message. rich is right you have to repeat your core message over and over again for it to break through. >> intro to politics. good to see you guys. bill: clinton team fighting back on allegations of insider dealing over classified emails. how does this come up tomorrow night? also election day is exactly three weeks from today. so where do the battleground states stack up this morning, including the state where we are today? that is nevada. why the at moment it
