You are now 30 days into your transition. You've made a lot of news. Last night, you made it official that General Mattis is your choice for Secretary of Defense. Still open is Secretary of State, probably the premier position in any administration. How close are you to making that call? I think fairly close. I think next week will be the time that I announce it. And I have some other big announcements coming up today, and actually tomorrow. But we've had, we've been met with really very good reviews of the people that I've chosen and I think I think that General Mattis is going to be terrific. He's gonna be absolutely terrific. It's a little bit outside the box. He's a tough cookie. Right. We need a tough cookie. He's smart, he's brilliant actually. And as a tactician, he's brilliant. And he's also a very high quality man. I flew with him last night. To North Carolina where we really introduced him in front of a tremendous crowd and I'll tell you the crowd loves him. Let me go back to Secretary of State for a second. I wanna read some of the names it's been reported you're considering for that position. Mitt Romney. Rudy Giuliani, David Petraeus, Bob corker and ambassador john bolton. Have you now crossed any of those names off your list. Well I think I have in my own mind. I don't wanna say which ones, but I think I have in my own minds. And there's some other, we have a great, great gentleman, the head, the boss over at Exxon. You know. It's Tillerson. He's built a tremendous company over the years with great style. Let me go back to Mitt Romney. Is he still under consideration? Yes he is. Does he have a chance to become Secretary of State? Yes he does. I mean, I've spoken to him a lot. We've come a long way together. We had some tremendous difficulty together and now I think we've come a long way, but the answer is yes, he does. So this isn't about some case of stringing him along as revenge being a dish best served cold for the comments he made during the campaign. No, it's not about revenge, it's about what's good for the country. And I'm able to put this stuff behind us. And I hit him very hard also. Which is very nice that the press doesn't cover that, I'm very happy about that.
