Romney. Joining us is megyn kelly. Autho. First, lets discuss the latest. Mitt romney will meet and the word is maybe he is looking at secretary of state. Thats huge. Else th thats big news. A credit to donald trump. Because mitt romney saf avaged in the primary. One of the main questions here one of the main questions as soon as trump got elected was, what is he going to change his stripes, is he going to do anything to reach out to people in the Republican Party with whom he hasnt gotten along or certain groups . This i think says yes, yes, he is. As far as i know, they didnt have a makeup session that they still dont like each other. One of his first moves is to bring in an establishment republican who doesnt like donald trump. If he winds up offering him a position like this, it would say a lot. Mitt romney on several occasions, actually, questioned whether donald trump was hiding something in his taxes. How do you sit down and break bread with that type of someone who was that against you for so long and then do you go head and put him in your administration . Its tough. But you saw theres a beginning of a peace accord when asked there was a tweet out that mitt romney congratulated him. Very nice, just like we saw with the bush family. People are trying to build and mend fences. I think its tough stuff to swallow it. When people make these comments or things about you, you take them personally. Because its tough. Its hard to hear. Then he was very adamant against him about his taxes, about the fact that he was concealing something and that he should not be allowed or be chosen to be president. He shouldnt be elected. He was a con man. Basically. Now lets see. Do you think hes going to give him a position of that importance . I would be surprised. You never know. Dana, Reince Priebus i thought was a brilliant pick as chief of staff. Do you think reince had something do with, donald, we need to reach across and say to the establishment republican group, you are part of us . I dont know. I think this is coming from the top, especially with nikki haley. Shes not that different from romney. She endorsed marco rubio. I think maybe what republicans should think about if its a follow trumps lead. If this is what saying, lets try to Work Together and maybe he is trying to recreate abraham lincolns team of rivals, because that was a good way to govern. I think not only if this is all true, because i take that with a grain of salt, a lot of leaks. Kudos to trump but also to them that would be willing to leave positions they have as governor or romney in his private life and agree to serve. Rudy giuliani has said i want secretary of state. He has said, i would be better. How do you have someone who is going to bat for you and put is this as maybe possibly just an olive branch to the establishment . He doesnt mean to appoint him . Its hard to say. I think its brave of them continue to invite ted cruz over being his father assassinated jfk. I think its a good really good sign. To are these people come over. Cruz was insulted by trump and then romney went after trump. Its getting all of these people together. Its a positive sign. My favorite part is nancy pelosi. Nancy pelosi told pence to reconsider appointing bannon. If you want if anybody wants bannon, have pelosi ask to reconsider it. That basically made sure he will be nominated. Are people going to say, nancy, who would you like . I think a memo to nancy, you basically got bannon in by opening your big fat mouth. I hope he didnt bow to the japanese prime minister. I can guarantee he did not. Im tired of bowing. You saw the fighting going on for a year and a half. Is this the gop getting back together . I think its more pragmatic than that. These people need to be confirmed. What we have seen is if you look at the state department, john bolton, he was the guy for a little bit. People said, i dont know if he can get confirmed. Rand paul said, i would block him. Rand paul in the Senate Foreign relations. Then you look at Rudy Giuliani, again, he has taken money from foreign governments, from could corporations doing business around the world. Could be complicated. Could make things difficult for president elect trump. So then you start hearing about names like nikki haley. You heard about ted cruz, lying ted for either Supreme Court or you think, gee, maybe he is making up. Now you hear this talk coming about im stunned. Mitt romney, not only was mitt romney opposed, think about what happened in utah. I mean, he tried to stop he pushed thats what im saying. You know, could trump be tooling them . Exercising dominant by having them come over and making them kiss a ring and going, get out of here. Maybe not get out of here. Never was going to really appoint them. That would be difficult to burn Rudy Giuliani i mean nikki haley and cruz and romney. I dont have personal knowledge of this but i will say this. I have also been disliked by donald trump for some portion of his campaign. When i went to see him at trump tower after a brutal nine months, he let it go. He really was able to let it go. Once we sat down together face to face, we had always had a good relationship, it was behind us. I let it go. He let it go. We were fine. I feel like i very much believe he has the ability to do that. For what its worth, i believe its sincere. I bet mitt romney walks away with something. He said so the night that he won on Election Night or the morning. It was 3 15 in the morning when he gave the speech. One of the lines was, for those of you who didnt support me, thats fine. I get it. No problem. But now im going to reach out to you and asking you to help me be the best president i can be. Maybe lets take him at his word. Maybe he meant it. Mike flynn is pretty controversial in washington right now. But mike flynn apparently is going to be the National Security adviser. The key point here is, mike flynn, who normally would look at for a job in the pentagon, mike flynn cant get confirmed. Thats a problem. He decides, i will give you a position doesnt require confirmation. I think if i have so much respect for Reince Priebus. Reince is thinking, how can we make this as smooth as possible . If giuliani doesnt get secretary of state, where does he go . Doesnt want ag. Its a great job. White House Counsel . There are few people who may want that job as well. Thats a tough job. Are you looking at me . No, no, no. Ambassador to the uk. Im happy to hear i would take that in a second. Giuliani could head the department of awesomeness. I want to go to National Parks. Im not asking for anything. Im thrilled to hear that you met and its behind you. I think thats fantastic. I love that idea. Its great to hear you say it. There was a special. The other stuff is a fiction of some of some people on the left and right who would like to see that feud continue. You know what . A feud gets healed and another one starts. But it hasnt in our case. Lets look at ted cruz. He revealed what it was like to meet his formal rival from the campaign trail earlier this week. Listen. It was very productive. I spent several hours in trump tower, had the chance to meet with the president elect, with the vicepresident elect, with senior members of the transition team. I think we had very good and productive conversations about how we can Work Together to really deliver on the promises made to the American People. This election was a powerful mandate for change. I think the American People overwhelmingly said, we want to change the path were on. And i am eager and committed to working with president elect trump to working with the new administration to get it done, to actually delivering what we told the voters we would do. Your thoughts on that. Would ted cruz take an appointment or would he want to run in 2020 . I think he would take anything donald trump would give him. Of the proper stature. He has shown a willingness to serve. It was a brutal primary by any standards. Ted cruz has serious disagreements with donald trump. Donald trump gave it to ted cruz. He is willing to let bygones be bygones. Some of the stuff, you have to say, all right, now he is our president. You have to support him and root for his success. For the country you may disagree with his policies but you have to root for his success as a matter of him being our leader. I bet you ted cruz would serve and be effective. Ag . Its got to be. Or even Supreme Court justice. He is bright, talented, he is a smart lawyer, he has plenty of time in front of the Supreme Court. He will know his way around the ropes. For him, its almost around the ropes. Get him off the radar for good. He cant run against you. Can he be confirmed . This is they want him everyone will raise their hand. Do you remember when he couldnt get a vote on the senate floor when some of the bills he was proposing because the republican senators wouldnt volt for it as well. This is an exit path. Take care. We will miss you. Thats a good point. Someone like nikki haley, i think you talk about mitt romney being big news. I think nikki haley is big news. It would introduce a woman into the picture in a prominent position. She would bring in some of the minority support, the people would say, this is a different look for the trump team. I think thats good news. When you stop and look at it, i was also impressed to hear he was looking at eva moscowicz. Shes a Strong School choice. Right before he closes down the department . He has to name somebody. Nikki haley could get through. I think it was news today that Henry Kissinger was over there. The ultimate outsider. Right. Part of this argument is, no lobbyists. That was an announcement today. Five year ban on lobbying if you come to serve with him. Five years is a long time. It is. For someone like ted cruz, that could hit you in the pocket. Anyone . I think ted cruz would be a redemption for him. It would elevate him in the different stature because if he decided or wanted to one again, then he also has the robes or kind of the a everyone is saying why isnt he announcing . He is really on schedule. Let him take his time. He promised to make massive change, drain the swamp. Its going to take longer if you are draining the swamp. You are choosing from a completely different puddle. Excuse me. A different puddle . My point is if you dont have the same swamp lets say you go from Hillary Clinton to jeb bush. So theres a lot of infrastructure a different swamp. John bolton, mitt romney, this is a new swamp. I never heard of these republicans. These are radical outsiders. Would you call him part of the d. C. Establishment . Rudy giuliani, he was mayor of new york. I believe he was a prosecutor. The definition of d. C. Outsider. One interesting thing about the whole mike flynn thing is that it is signaling a different about priorities. Its no longer about old rivalries between russia. Were replacing the iron curtain with the islamic shroud. The number one threat for us in our lifetime and beyond our lifetime will be islamic extremist. Thats a signal that perhaps even though there are problems with russia and the problems are real, we have probably more in common with them existentially in this war against this bizarre extremist demon that wants to destroy earth is a bigger deal. Remember what mitt romney said . He said russia was the number one enemy. I dont know how he and mike we have to go. When we come back, megyn kelly is with us to give us a look at her book settle for more. Thats coming up more on the five. [vo] quickbooks introduces jeanette. And her new business i do, to go.

Megyn kelly is back with us. We want to focus on her new book which is on shelves now. You know i love the book and i remembered several parts of it throughout. I thought i would want to ask you, when you were writing it, how viewers have come to know you over the years in a way. But not in this personal a way. I wondered what you thought about when you were writing the part about when your dad died. Because i dont think a lot of viewers had known that about you. First of all, thank you, because you were one of the only people i let see it in advance. I gave me such great feedback. Theres a fair amount about you in there. Pick it up in bookstores. Not one mention of me like i dont exist. You have to look through the lines. With my dad, you know, its like the heart of the book is that adversity is an opportunity. Its a gift to you that it will allow you to become stronger as you get through it. Ive seen that as most of us have. I know you guys. Everybody here at the table has had adversity and considerable. I know all of you have, too. So i included the story so people could understand that i did suffer a tragedy in my life at a very young age. You were 15. Thats right. My dad died suddenly of a heart attack ten days before christmas, 1985. I was 15. He was 45. He never had heart problems or anything before. The night he died, we had had a stupid argument about my class ring. I wanted a nicer one than he wanted than we could afford. I wouldnt let it drop. I was being a brat. And he turned and walked out of the kitchen. And i walked out and walked up stairs to my room. I will never forget the site of my dad on the couch looking at the lights on the christmas tree. As i write in the book, a good man alone. And the next thing i knew my sister woke me up saying, wake up, daddy had a heart attack. He never was revived. You know, it was such a dark time. It was ten days before christmas. My mom was so strong. Shes my role model. Such a doll. Shes my role model. I will never forget standing outside of the hospital you are making me cry. And saying to her, i said to her, will you ever be happen my again . She said, of course i will, and you will be, too. For my mom to have the presence to get to that place within hours of losing her 45yearold husband suddenly was an example for me and that kind of resilience and ability to understand that theres goodness in life that will always follow the darkness was a gift to me. Theres a lot in the book that takes you into moments like that. Theres joyous moments. I love the story about when you meet doug and you go on a date and it doesnt go as well as you thought. I can do better than that. Thats fun. We dont have enough time. I knew that bringing that up about your dad would touch somebody like kimberly. She also a lot of people in the audience, people that will buy your book, lost a parent when they were a young child. Reading about other peoples experience can help people in their own grief and to overcome adversity and become strong and successful. We will save kimberly for a minute. I paged through the book. Great pictures. Thank you. One theme, your family. Your children. How has that changed your life and your career . It dwarfed everything. You think this is important and to some extent it is. What we do is important. We have a connection with our viewers and we report important matters. But then you have children and they just change your definition of what happiness is. I know i could lose everything that we have here. I cant im crying now. Men are often like that. Thats true. I can never have her break down. That wasnt my motivation. I look at them and i know, as long as i have them, im good. Im good. I write in the book about you can handle anything if you know what defines you. Ask yourself, who am i and just remember who you are and who defines you. Who defines me as a person, as a woman, as a wife, as a mother, as a sister, as a daughter . Those are the people who can affect my happiness, my core. Its not bs, nonsense you see on twitter. You can get up in that. It can if you let it steal your mojo it can change your perception and how you should behave. Its wrong. You have to try to tune that stuff out. Its bus exhaust. Inhale all the goodness of those that matter. We only have a couple of minutes left. We will try to get through as many as we can. Juan, you are next. I was going to say, all that you have been through in your career, its interesting that bullying and what we were talking about in terms of twitter has come really like a wave over you. I wonder how you deal with it. One of the things mrs. Trump did when she went out was talk about bullying. If i could jump in you remember, you wrote your own book. What i remember was that all of everybody watching as well has been bullied at some point in their life. That happened early on in your life. When you were 12 . I was in seventh grade. I feel like im on the coach on oprah. I was very badly bullied for a year. Terrible mean girls who ganged up against me. It was awful. It culminated in an incident where the head bully called me up at my house and said, you know where all the people are from my party. You have to picture heavy acne ridden space between the tooth version of me. The hair was boy, am i turned on. You are sick. Did i mention i was 12 . Dont say it. The mean bully head bully called up and said do you know where all the people are from my party . I said no. They yelled into the phone, were here. Now people do that on facebook. Now i can ignore them better. Having been through it, you have to build up the core so you can take a gut punch. You know, didnt you deserve it after you were shoplifting . My life of crime, did you read through that . Its possible i stole something when i was 12. Talk about that and the poor message you send to teenagers by being a thief. I brought it all back to kmart. I had to do the walk of shame. Last point. I know about everything that you have been through in your life, your losses and recently you lost your nana which affected you. She was proud of you and you had such a great relationship that you let the viewers see and enjoy. I think one of the best parts of your book is the chapter about paying it forward. I think believe thats some of the influence of family, the people close to you in your life like your mother and grandma. My nana was the best. She died in october at 101 years old. We were blessed to have her. That was a different generation. You know . They were not the cupcake nation. That was the thing that made me want to write the book. I feel like were going soft as a country. We cover these stories all the time. I wanted to send a message that you need to toughen up, buttercup. Life does throw things at you, including disappointment. I talk about when i
