Joining me to tubing about it fox business Dagen Mcdowell and former home depot ceo bob back with us and outnumbered cohost sandra smith. Sandra hey, thanks for having me. Im surrounded. [laughter] maria outnumbered. Outnumbered this morning. Maria big story, Rex Tillerson is going to be secretary of state. As as a business person, what do you think . Hes a man of integrity and standing around the world, i think he would be tremendously effective. He is strong and he has convictions. Ic he would be a great secretary of state. Youre going to give us a rare glimpse as an individual. Maria exactly. Coming up this morning military analyst jack keane will weigh on this. Former Campaign Adviser and republican strategist ed rollins. Jason miller is going to talk about all of the namings and the cabinet names so far. He will be with us as well. Big show coming up. America will soon know secretary of state. Trump tweeted this. I will be making announcement on the next secretary of state tomorrow morning. Rex tillerson is reportedly the pick. Mitt romney also posted online, he went on facebook that he didnt get the job, he wrote this, it was an honor to have been considered as secretary of state. My discussions with both president elect trump are enjoyable and enlightening. I have high hopes that the new administration will lead the nation to a greater strength, prosperity and peace. Carly fiorina weighed in. The highquality of people that he has named already says so much about executive abilities but people recognize the opportunity that our new president elect has to really make a huge impact on peoples lives in this country and on events around the world. Maria press release is out. Donald trump naming Rex Tillerson his next secretary of state. They have now issued a press release so we can tell you it is now official. Erin, good to see you, your reaction to this . I think we want to hear more about why donald trump maria sorry, go ahead. Why donald trump appointed Rex Tillerson. Hes been saying hes a worldclass player and good at International Scene but we dont know about Rex Tillerson or political positions. When donald trump does thank you rallies, i expect we will hear more from donald trump. I dont think this is a easy Senate Confirmation from Rex Tillerson. We heard from marco rubio and john mccain and other who is are casting down on this pick because of Rex Tillersons relationship with russia. Maria we know little about Rex Tillerson. We know he operates in 50 countries. We know hes real accountable. The buck stops with him at the oil company. Hes done an unbelievable job, maria n leading the country through a variety of challenges, various psych unless the business, environmental controls, regulations, hes been tremendously successful. I think the organization, exxon mobile really love him, they follow him and believe in him, i think they will do a wonderful job. Sandra skepticism is ties to russia. Hes going to face a difficult Senate Confirmation because of those ties. How do you see responding to that . Hes a rock. Maria analysis. They will not get under his skin, straightforward, deliberate, i dont think they will be able to face him through the process. Maria in 20 01 exxon did a deal and began to drill in the arctic and black sea. Eight months later, Vladimir Putin invades ukraine, dagen. This is the worry that obviously theres anywhere theres oil, Rex Tillerson has a relationship with the head of state. Dagen he came out against sanctions. He received the order from the kremlin and close with a lot of Vladimir Putin than a lot of other potential secretary of states were not picked like mitt romney that was laughed at by president obama as russia being the greatest threat. He has been talked about how putin is such a great leader, wasnt thing he said he always felt fine about putin. This is donald trump. It sets that up and on top of that, you have the russian hacking of the not the election but the campaign and then donald trump dismissing that. Somebody needs to tamp down the rhetoric, i think, as tiller soon steps up for confirmation. Maria something about this whole thing, erin makes me feel maybe this is the guy to temper, neutralize Vladimir Putin. I dont think putin wants to go against tillerson in any way because he wants a relationship so they can drill for oil in the arctic, i dont know why this is necessarily a negative. You know what, it may not be. Before the Senate Confirmation hearing actually happens, we will see a raft of stories on everything about tillerson, on every interaction that tillerson and putin have ever had and that might be a bruising thing for Rex Tillerson and frankly for putin. Sandra one thing we have left out as far as politics are concerned is that he is acknowledged the Science BehindClimate Change and support for paris climate agreement. Certainly thats going to come up and thats going to be in star contrast to the president elects views on climate who basically called it a hoax. Weve had eight years with two professional politicians as secretary of state. When he was talking about cuba, how has that worked for us . It would be great to get an individual with global perspective, knows many leaders and see if that works. I think we should give rex a shot. Maria i love the pick. I do. Savvy. Dagen i shows Donald Trumps willingness to that has to be a tip of the hat on the left. They are worried about pruitt running the epa. Exxon mobile was criticized for not acknowledging this. They were forced a bit but when they did invest, they invested bit. Sandra hes only been the ceo since 2007. Those are his views of recent, but i dont know. I mean, you also have to talk about the idea of president elects chemistry. Its natural for him to bond as Business Leaders. Maria they got along right away. Im not surprised, administration that would be supportive that would get a gdp that would help the economy and create jobs opportunities that we talked many times on the show. Maria before you go, erin, our sources at fox news is saying that donald trump is set to nominate rick perry to be the Energy Secretary. Real quick on that. Thats not surprise at all. As governor of texas he is very well aware of the Energy Industry and all that he can do for the Energy Industry in this country. So that pick is not surprising at all. It was a department that he wanted to eliminate when he ran for president in 2012 but i dont think thats surprising at all and rick perry would have a much easier Senate Confirmation process. Maria be sure to catch a special twohour edition of lou dobbs covering the president elects thank you tour. Kicks off in fox business network. Lou dobbs takes you through the thank you tour.

Invest with confidence. As after a dvt blood clot,ital i sure had a lot to think about. What about the people i care about . Including this little girl. And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i asked my doctor. And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Come on, wake up come on, why ya sleepin . Come on what time is it . Its go time. Come on. Lets go, lets go, lets go. Woooo hoooo yeah i feel like i went to bed an hour ago. Ill make the cocoa.

Joining us right now jeff, jeff, good to see you. Pleasure. Maria would you put money to work in this money today after the gains we have seen . Yeah, our model telegraphed this before the election, no matter who won, the markets were staged to go up. I had lunch with larry at the round table and he said, this is the biggest honeymoon i have ever seen in my entire career but my hunch is you stay with equities into the inauguration and then reality sets in. Maria when you say the market would have gone up regardless, the market is trading on real expectations of an economic plan that is going to move the needle in Economic Growth. You bet. Maria do you think earnings are going to go up . I do. S p are 1 31 bucks. Even if you dont get to a 15 , Corporate Tax rate, if you get to 25 tax rate, it still adds to that 131. Youre talking 24, 24. 50 on the s p. Jeff, its interesting, some of your colleagues are saying the dow could get 25,000. Where do you think . Somebody said 50,000. Maria when, come on.

Sandra what are you seeing, jeff, as far as participation in this record runup in u. S. Stocks. Preelection the record runup we didnt see a lot of Mainstream Media being able to participate in that. Are you seeing that take here . No, the individual investor is awol, they think the only reason stocks are up is because the Central Banks have flooded the system with must be and what they dont get is the equity markets dont care about the absolutes of good or bad, all the equity markets care about are things Getting Better or are things getting worse and things are Getting Better. Dagen if people start seeing actual losses in their treasury fort portfolios does that its not just out of bonds.
