jon huntsman. a former candidate for president and the ambassador to china in the obama administration. this is one of a number of names that the president-elect is considering. the president-elect also making some news about signature policy proposals when he takes over as president. that is how he handles companies that move jobs overseas. promising to reduce taxes and regulations on these companies, but also bound to penalize companies that move jobs out of the united states. including a 35% tariff on goods coming into the united states for these companies. of course, this is not something the president-elect can do on his own. he will need congressional support. it will be a key issue to look for in the incoming administration. >>> ryan, thank you. we are another week closer to inauguration day. it seems not much closer to knowing what kind of president donald trump will be or are we? let's ask eugene scott. he is joining us live from washington. let's forg thanks for getting up early with us s

you know, now, obviously, a big name, jons huntsman, is in the mix. he's a republican, ran for president, he's also a mixed history, right, with donald trump? >> reporter: yeah. that's right. you know, when's interesting is early days of trump's ascent to the republican nomination where a lot of establishment republicans were being very critical of donald trump, jons huntsman is a few voices of the establishment group with relatively nice things to say about him and then as the campaign went on and more controversies of donald trump, huntsman's tune changed a little bit and never too far from trump as a candidate. you know, what is interesting about this particular pick at this point is that, you know, obviously, everything that's happened in the past 24 hours with china and taiwan, jon huntsman knows that delicate relationship very well. having served as the ambassador to china. and he is someone that would come from that establishment wing of the water. but, poppy, you know, we are being cautioned not to describe jon huntsman as a front-runner at th

jon huntsman is a two-term governor of utah. very important going forward. joe served the state of connecticut for 26 years in the senate. i like to think of him as a real independent. he was no labels before we ever thought of this place. without further do, let a bring both of them out. ♪ [applause] >> that is such an auspicious song. that is assigned i have iran for governor in 2004. we are to one that election. following those two, what a special moment. take thise like that effort seriously, you know we are doing is a serious purpose. you do not waste your time, you want to be part of something in aseful that is going direction toward destiny that will be good for this country. i'm delighted to be here with joe lieberman, my cochair, my rabbi, my friends, my big brother. let me just remind you of a couple things that is so significant about why we are here today. one, there is a new center of gravity emerging in american politics. that is by virtue of how things have played out not over one administration but over many. it has brought us to where we a

i feel good about jon huntsman. >> me, too. >> i heard last week jon huntsman's name going around. this was a guy who actually came out talking positively about donald trump before most of the republican establishment. i was actually surprised how early he came out speaking positively of donald trump. and ambassador to china, this actually would -- and a guy that would be very deferential, this would be a very, very fascinating nipick. not a lot of enemies either. >> huntsman would be a smart pick. i've seen huntsman in action as our ambassador in china on a visit there. he was all the things you'd want a diplomat to be, well spoken, thoughtful, funny, in private had a real sense of the chinese and of his assignment. i think the fact that a relatively moderate republican is on this list as being looked at is interesting and positive and he's certainly somebody i can see at secretary of state. rex tillerson is a fascinating name. >> tell us about that. >> rex tillerson runs the biggest, best managed oil company in the world. there's nothing like exxon. he follows a chairman who many

>> reporter: well, it's interesting, joe, that jon huntsman's name jumps out at this point, especially the day after the phone call with the president of taiwan and this renewed speculation about the approach to china because huntsman is an expert when it comes to the country of china. he was the ambassador there during the obama administration and he knows a lot about this very delicate relationship but at this point the transition team tells us that huntsman is being considered but there's no indication this he's a front-runner at this point. we know that the trump team is really expanding the list of potential candidates and spends more time dleliberating this pik than we thought. his advisers told us it was down to four candidates and making the decision soon and it's clear there's a much broader list to draw from and, joe, could be another two weeks before we know the next secretary of state. >> fascinating. just the thought there's yet another name coming down the pike. so a lot of room to stand out there and see what's happening. thank you so much for that, ryan. >> reporter: th

go ahead. >> talk of jon huntsman as secretary of state is probably not going to happen. the real talk is what jon huntsman might do in 2018 and may primary orrin hatch. >> if hatch runs again? >> that's what some people are speculating, absolutely. he would be a really strong contender. hatch is beloved in utah but he's getting up there in age. >> i think beloved may be overstating. >> you're biased. >> susan, thank you, dear. you match up with the -- what are these flowers? >> poinsettias. >> and jeremy peters and jay, my paul. >>> when we return, a shameless display by the people vying to be picked by trump for any job. you're watching "hardball," the place for politics.

surprising to me the name has not surfaced is jon huntsman. jon huntsman, a republican, former governor of utah, ambassador to china, singapore, two sons in the navy, et cetera. he's somebody i think should be under consideration. >> as secretary -- >> as secretary of state. interestingly enough, bob gates is now apparently going to meet with -- >> today. >> well if that's the case, bob gates would be an excellent choice as well, because he would be the first time since general marshall, who became secretary of state and secretary of defense, the first time you have a secretary of defense and a secretary of state, bob gates a great choit choice. >> for secretary of state. >> absolutely. >> what about the others, who named are floated out there. like rudy giuliani for example? his name is high on the list. mitt romney. his name is high on the list. john bolton, former u.s. ambassador to the u.n.? >> it's not what i think. it's what president-elect trump thinks. as long as he's meeting with secretary gates, and i'm -- jon huntsman, i never talke

jon huntsman is in the mix. makes you wonder if that's someone who might fill the role a mitt romney might fill. right? >> srnl mitt romney is this his nemesis. things are getting more interested, who is going to be secretary of state. he is certainly qualified, would be a statesman-like figure. interesting to see. just named, every day more people are being under consideration. >> what do we make of that? that there's more people and it's not being whittled -- seems he was going in one direction, seemed romney, then perhaps petraeus. what do you think? >> clearly, donald trump hasn't settled on who he wants to be the secretary of state, and what qualities he wants to see in one. he was very intrigued after that dinner with mitt romney a couple weeks ago, in a very public space where they had a discussion and got along, and the readout afterwards from my folk whose know of the meeting said that it went really, really well and actually thought he would move in that direction. the david petraeus thing certainly ca

jon huntsman would be superb. he's fluent in mandarin and has lived abroad. he understands one of america's important trade partners. and mitt romney did a remarkable job in pulling together the salt lake city olympics of 20002. he's respected overseas and he, too, would be an excellent representative of our country. so either of the men has the skillset required to be secretary of state. the real question is whether donald j. trump will be comfortable having a secretary of state who might outshine him. >> got it. julian, let's talk about donald trump's renewed threat against job outsourcing. 35% penalty to those who send jobs abroad. do you think he can actually do that? >> no, i'm not convinced he even wants to do that. i think we have to separate some of the populist anti-corporate rhetoric that we've heard from president-elect trump from what he actually plans to do. so far the big announcement was the carrier jobs, which obviously is terrific to the family who will have jobs, but it is a small piece of the whole employment sector. and it's going to be ve

jon huntsman, the former governor of utah, the one-time candidate for president is someone donald trump is considering for secretary of state. his top aids say it's one of many potential new candidates that will be in the mix. at one time, joe, we thought that this was down to forty candidates and the announcement could come soon. now it looks like it could take another two weeks before we know who the next secretary of state will be. >> there they go taking their time with that one. thank you, ryan nobles. >>> as the president-elect's cabinet takes shape, donald trump and hillary clinton's campaign managers sat down since the first time since the divisive election. jake tapper's exclusive conversation with kellyanne conway and robby moke is coming up next. fast and portable but also light. you don't do this 14 hours a day, 7 days a week for... ...decades if you don't feel it in your heart. listen, i know my super power is to not ever sleep. that's it. that's the only super power i have. [and her new business: i do, to jeanetgo. jeanette was excellent at marrying people. but had trouble

ambassador to china jon huntsman said about this call. here it is. >> the issue should be this. does taiwan deserve a little more space? we share values. we have a big economy. we trade, they have a civil society that is large and robust and mature. and we ought to be giving them more space. and if that kind of comes out of this whole discussion that people recognize that taiwan may be a little different than they thought, then maybe that should kind of create a template for the way that the new trump administration sees the region. >> and that would suggest an update to u.s. policy here. today we're also hearing as you know in a report from the associated press that man there, jon huntsman, is being considered among those for secretary of state. how would you feel about him becoming secretary of state? >> you know, it would be surprising to me to be perfectly honest. it would be surprising if he picked someone who was critical often of donald trump during the campaign trail. that is also up to the president-elect. i argued with a lot of my fellow trump partisans up in armeds th

rudy giuliani, mitt romney, jon huntsman and john bolton. any way to tell, errol, what's happening here. >> no way to tell. they're floating all these names to get a lot of discussion going. i suspect they are probably down to two or three and that donald trump will make the decision pretty quickly after spreading this out and springing us all along a little bit longer. >> do you think it is a distraction, abby. secretary of state is an important but trump wants to be more isolationist. not like he will have a new quarterback running around the world. ben carson, yeah y like ben carson. he is a good guys and lives in public housing, he should be a hud secretary. treasury secretary, really important. this guy is my buddy and worked at goldman sachs, let's put him in. this so methodical and so agonizing and drawn out, where's the balance between this? >> i think if this were an easy decision and donald trump were rewarding his friend, we would see rudy giuliani in this position. giuliani made it pretty clear, this is the job he wants. he doesn

it now includes the former presidential candidate jon huntsman. huntsman also happens to be a former ambassador to trump's latest twitter target china. facing leet from breaking with decades of international protocol. more now from cnn's jessica schneider outside the trump tower. good morning. >> good morning, carol. the uncertainty continues to mount as to donald trump's stance on china especially after his tweet storm this weekend and the phone call to taiwan on friday. in terms of the tweet storm, donald trump criticized china for what he says manipulation of its currency, also criticizing military action in the south china sea. when it comes to china the foreign minister there says it refuses to speculate on donald trump's actions or whether or not this could be a break in policy. the president-elect lashing out at china. only two days after his unprecedented phone call with the leader of taiwan. donald trump accusing china of keeping its currency artificially low. monetary experts say it's fairly valued. and decrying their military presence i

he's talking about jon huntsman or maybe a former ceo of exxon. mitt romney, who you have said if he is nominated you will pay as each a dollar or your hat or something, where is this now? >> i think i get to keep my dollar. romney is not going to get it. it looks like romney is out of the running. apparently donald trump did not like the candidates he had in front of him, so he expanded the pool. you mentioned the exxon ceo is coming in. jon huntsman has not been scheduled for a meeting at comes our yet, i don't believe, but he is another name on that list. that would surprise me a little bit because he was president obama's ambassador to china, so that would be a funny promotion. he would be extremely qualified to be secretary of the other names floated before. >> i can't argue with you there. scarlet: there were reports that donald trump looking for cabinet position says he is looking for people who look the part. can you explain what that means? >> i cannot. scarlet: part of it was mitt romney looked the part of a secretary of state. in that c

and today jon huntsman told cnbc on that call that the president-elect took from the leader of taiwan, he said it was the right thing to do. it was right to take that call. i think that's another interesting tidbit in this parade of secretary of state candidates, chris. >> we're hearing that the people who come to trump tower have seem to come of their own volition. that they choose to come and pay court. and that he never invites anybody. have you any evidence as to what the calling card is when you go there? people are showing up, i guess to get interviews, i don't know. and it seems like there's an awful lot of job hunters heading toward fifth avenue. >> i think some of them are job hunters, some of them are just people who want to influence the next administration, who want to share their ideas, but it's also, that's not unusual. i mean, when there is a different administration coming forth, you'll see all kinds of people who get caught up in the excitement and want to help out. it is a bit like watching "the apprentice." you can always tell the really special people, because ther

former utah governor and ambassador to china, jon huntsman, has been added to the list of possible candiates. meanwhile, trump continues to indicate he might be open to changing his position on climate change. he met yesterday with former vice president and climate change activist al gore, who described the meeting as productive. and there's word that trump's daughter, ivanka, they plan to move to this area from new york city. and - donald trump hasn't even moved in yet. but already - someone is thinking about the next election. vice president joe biden - says it isn't ruling out a run in 20-20. he told reporters he's not committing one way or another. an update this morning.. the environmental protection agency identified the source of an oily sheen on the potomac river. the e-p-a says the sheen found last came from the dickerson power plant owned by n-r-g energy. tests identified the substance as lubricating oil. booms remain in place to protect drinking water intakes from the little oil that remains. happening today.. a candlelight vigil will be held at the world war two memorial, to mark

jon huntsman under barack obama. gop presidential candidate, but perhaps more important is the china part of his resume. also on that list. how likely is it that trump will do what mark just said and consider somebody that has insulted him and hated him in the past? >> well, it should be very interesting, this is clearly a really important appointment. it's taken quite some time. especially if he's going to be making calls to foreign leaders as we've seen and making the types of commitments he's made behoove him to actually engage and pin down this appointment sooner rather than later. we need somebody as secretary of state that the president-elect will actually listen to and the president-elect prides himself on not necessarily being diplomatic, not playing nice in the sand box. we need somebody who will. at the same token, we have all of these state department officials who are overseas in embassies who are waiting to just help and provide nonpartisan expertise. nobody in the trump campaign is engaging with them --
