4:00 pm
but when president obama requested a meeting, president bush gave him that meeting. >> i think that will be very, very significant. this entire transition process. how it goes could shape this new incoming administration. thanks very much david axelrod for that. that is it for me. thanks very much for watching. erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. >> "outfront" next. president elect donald trump gets ready to take over his transition team in over dive. could reince priebus be the next chief of staff? he's my guest tonight. and the hillary clinton since her concession speak on a hiking trail our guest, a woman who spotted her and talked to her about the election. let's go "outfront." and good evening. i'm erin burnett.
4:01 pm
"outfront" tonight the breaks news. rallying around president elect donald trump. cnn has just learned that former president bill clinton called president elect donald trump this afternoon, an aide to president clinton saying he congratulated trump and wished him well. also tonight president elect trump arriving back in new york after his meeting with president barack obama at the white house. today, for the first time ever, the two men came face to face. meeting in the oval office for 90 minute, a meeting which was only scheduled to last 10 minutes. president obama called it excellent. president elect trump said it was a great honor. >> i just had the opportunity to have an excellent conversation with president elect trump. it was wide-ranging. >> i very much look forward to dealing with the president in the future including counsel. >> at the same time their wive, michelle obama and melania trump met for tea touring the white
4:02 pm
house. this is picture for that meeting. and for the second straight day the dow bounced on wall street. truly an unprecedented thick and it runs completely counter to many of the prognostications out there before. yet another record today after donald trump's win. michelle kosinski is "outfront" at the white house. michelle, the moment today of this meeting so many people thought 24e8d never see barack obama and donald trump meet, never mind as president and president elect at the white house. >> maybe even not the two people at the meeting. and tonight outside the white house more protests but inside today it was all about reassurance and everybody on their best behavior. what was so fascinating about this, on the one hand you have this incredibly organized transition process with handshakes and good wishes on all sides. but then on the other, you have this intense bitterness from the campaign trail. and today the white house didn't really hold back in saying that
4:03 pm
president obama meant every word that he has said about donald trump, that he's unfit, that the president has deep concerns. well guess what, none of that has changed. but today was all about working together and moving forward despite those major differences. >> a historic day for donald trump. after a historic election. meeting with president obama alone in the oval office that will soon be his. >> we talked about foreign policy. we talked about domestic policy. i have been very encouraged by the i think interest in president elect trump's wanting to work with my team around many of the issues this country faces. >> reporter: donald trump calling his fierce political rival a good man.
4:04 pm
>> i have great respect. the meeting lasted for almost an hour and a half. and it could have -- as far as i'm concerned it could have gone on for a lot longer. we really -- we discussed a lot of different situations. some wonderful and some difficulties. i very much look forward to dealing with the president in the future, including counsel. >> when asked the white house press secretary said all those warnings from president obama on the campaign trail about trump, that he's dangerous, unqualified, still hold. >> does the president now have any reason to believe that donald trump is fit to be president of the united states? >> again, i'm not gonna -- if two men did not relitigate their differences in the oval office. >> trump's next stop, capitol hill. meetings with leadership. the tone here equally welcoming, putting deep differences aside, for now. >> -- more affordable and
4:05 pm
better. >> reporter: an impending rolling back of as many of president obama's policies as possible. but the white house couldn't talk about that today, saying essentially what will be will be. america has chosen. >> my number one priority in the coming two months is to try to facilitate a transition that ensures our president elect is successfulal. >> ending it all with a joking reminder with one leader to the next, not to take question interests the press. >> thank you guys. we're not going to be taking any questions. that's good rule. don't answer any questions when their -- [indiscernible] >> very good man. >> well the -- not only how these two feel about each other but also the fact that donald trump has vowed many times to roll back president obama's policies.
4:06 pm
the white house said that what made this meeting excellent is that both are committed to the transition and donald trump's tone reflected that. >> and michelle, thank you very much. and we are also tonight learning that trump will have a meeting tomorrow with the people who are going to make this happen in his transition. dana bash is in washington tonight "outfront." and obviously the big question tonight, who will president elect trump appoint. >> monumental. and it's got to be done in the next seventy days or so. the fast track, and this is what generally happens is for the chief of staff. that person once in place is going to help the transition team and the president elect get everybody else in place. right now we are told that donald trump himself would prefer steve bannon, who was the
4:07 pm
chief operating officer of his campaign. he came from breitbart, the conservative media site. and he's been very, very present with donald trump, especially in these last few weeks of the campaign on the road with him sort of trying to help keep him in check. i am told that despite the fact that trump wants him, that some people in trump's orbit are telling trump that that is a terrible idea. first and foremost because of the fact as i mentioned that he came from breitbart, which sort of by definition is the outside conservative media site that thro throws torpedos at republican establishment. donald trump is going to be the president of the united states and he has to work with many of the republicans who are running congress to get legislation, bright bart has been going, including the house speaker. the others i'm told that s because they don't feel that he's the right person to keep the trains running on time which
4:08 pm
is a key job as chief of staff. the other person is a reince priebus. he's also been very integral in trump's world. running the ground population that got donald trump elected. he's been also very personally involved. i'm told their bond isn't necessarily as close but certainly much closer than people think. and i'm also told by people around washington erin that he would be a consensus choice. knows washington and the republicans on the hill. helping get many of them elected. so that is a choice. and probably the first and most important choings because it is the most personal. >> dana, thank you very much. and "outfront" tonight. reince priebus. chairman of the republican national committee. thank you for being with us tonight. i know you are doing this on very little sleep if any. we're told you have spoken to trump about a position in his administration. how did that conversation go?
4:09 pm
>> no that is not the case. we don't -- i'm not involved in that. nobody is talking about those things. and so our focus right now is just making sure we're wrapping up the committee work and then, you know, making sure that the transition goes smoothly and so that he can be well equipped come january. and he will be. >> donald trump does give you a lot of credit for his win. at that moment when the world was watching him give his victory speech. he talked about you. here is what he said. >> i'll tell you, reince is really a star. and he's the hardest working guy -- >> we understand -- and i know you are saying you haven't talked about it with him. but you are on the list. steve bannon is on the list for trump's chief of staff. if offered would you take that job? do you even want it? >> i don't -- i don't to even talk achbbout it. the truth is i'm in my job right now, erin. i'm chairman of the rnc. it is an important role we play
4:10 pm
at the national party. and it was a great victory. but those great victories only happen with a great candidate. i'm proud of her mechanics and data and i think it is unprecedented. i think it is unbelievable what this committee did. but none of those unbelievable things work if you have a bad candidate. so it always starts with a great candidate. and the other thing it starts with is you have to have a candidate that is flowing with the river. in other words the momentum, the mood of the electorate has to flow with the candidate. all of those things lined up, which is why, you know, i think the media narrative was just so far off on what americans were thinking about the choices they had in front of them. >> president obama and president elect trump were supposed to meet today for ten minutes. as, you know, that was the schedule. were you surprised after all the -- and let's just be honest here, frankly horrible things they said about each other --
4:11 pm
that that meeting lasted han hour and a half? >> no i'm not surprised and i'll tell you why. i've seen president trump in meetings one on one or meetings and things had to be patched up. and people have to get to know each other. he didn't get to where he is. and now he's president elect in the united states. in his business deals, i guarantee you there are all kind of problems he's dealt with. blowout arguments permits or buildings or whatever. he'll walk into a meeting. and people will say this is a gracious personable guy. he's a hard guy not to like, especially in meetings like that. so i'm not surprised. >> do you know what they talked about? have you had a chance to talk to donald trump about it? >> i talked to him briefly today when he swung through the rnc. but we -- obviously i wasn't downloading on details with him.
4:12 pm
but i'm sure it was very positive and the reports are indicative of that. >> you know, bernie sanders today talked about donald trump on cnn. i wanted to play for you part of what e said. >> the election is over. donald trump won. i intend to work with president trump. i will vigorously oppose him if he appeals to racism or sexism or some of the other discriminatory measures that he brought up during his campaign. >> reince you have seen the protests. they are out there again on the streets tonight protests against trump's presidency. does he need to. does he feel he should reach out to these people explicitly and assuage their fears? >> well erin yesterday morning keep in mind donald trump spoke to the american people, just yesterday morning. and when he was getting ready for that speech, it was nothing about bragging about the election, nothing about continuing the rhetoric, the political rhetoric that was --
4:13 pm
that was indicative of a political campaign. it was all about coming together, leading all americans no matter battleground, race, ethnicity, gender, whatever the case is. and it was donald trump that led. and it was him that decided this is the direction to go. let's bring people together. let's cool the water. >> so this is how it is going to be from now. >> that is what he did. it wasn't a speech nartd wloer said read this speech. no he sat down and made sure it was the right speech at the right time. and just yesterday morning, his sitting down with 90 minutes with the president. is another indicator. people should look at. here is a person who just won the presidency. and he's sitting down having a 90 minute conversation -- should have been 10 -- with the president and she's working hard and showing the country he's working hard to move the country
4:14 pm
forward. but i would say the agenda americans were in favor of was an agenda that the republican party, meaning our candidate, including president elect trump, house and senate candidates put on the table. the other part of this is that we have an obligation then to pursue the promises that we made in t in the campaign that people voted for. they voted and said yes we with want those things to be done in washington. so those things will be done. we don't have a mandate to water down our promises. we have a mandate to perform the things that we promised. >> so a wall banni, banning mus immigration from -- >> that's not the promise -- that is not the position he laid out. and this has now been since june that he gave that speech. i believe to either the american leagues or vfw. in june he said his position is if the country is harbor b
4:15 pm
terrorists in the risk of the security of the united states that he would take member to suspend those immigration visas until a better vetting system is in place. that is consistent with many bills in the house and senate. and it is what donald trump's position is. so if the media wants to go back now. not you in particular erin, but if if media wants to go back now and stir the pot and now claim he want this is muslim ban that he's made it clear through a three disabilities through june that this was not his position. it would do us all a favor if the media would get together and quit stirring the pot -- >> he did say it originally. and i donald trump and then it is going to be certain countries. and then countries that harbor terrorists. those -- what are those countries? is that nothing to do with being muslim at all? he's got to iron out very completely what he meant because
4:16 pm
he made it very clearly about religion. >> he said repeatedly that there is no religious test. and for you all to be coming back and relitigating something that was -- that is now five months old is what the problem is in our country. the problem is we've got to fill 24 hours a day, 7 days a week of cable stations that create these issues that don't exist, and then turn people against each other. if the media is so interested in america coming together, then they ought to do their job and quit stirring the pot where it should belong. >> do you think reince that he also carry answer obligation? you have muslims in this country who are worried. they are afraid. they are afraid of what will happen and they are afraid of what -- >> erin -- >> -- i've talked to ceos in other countries who are worried about this. isn't this incumbent on donald
4:17 pm
trump to come out and be very clear and the leader -- >> e rrin, listen. i think you are very good but i'm very surprised that this is the conversation we're having. yesterday morning, yesterday morning, he just gave a speech about americans coming together. and you are asking me now on thursday whether he needs to do another -- i mean, i'm not sure what you are asking for. he's the president for all americans. he's made that very clear. we're making it clear. and to go back to, you know, old issues when they have been asked over and over again and have been answer by president elect trump, people need to understand that he understands. i promise you. i know where his head and heart is at. and he said it. so just trust his own words. he'll be a president for all american, republican, democrat, independent, any religion, any faith.
4:18 pm
he's your president and he's going do the -- he's going to do a fantastic job and he understands the gravity and the seriousness of the position. >> reince priebus. thank you very much. appreciate your time tonight. >> thank you erin. and new tonight donald and melania trump are back in new york tonight. melania trump spent the morning with the first lady, michelle obama and this is a picture of the first meeting, the two having tea, after one of the ugliest presidential campaigns in recent history. suzanne malveaux is out fror"ou at the white house. >> reporter: one thing to talk about your kids. safe territory. a good ice breaker. that is exactly what michelle obama as well as melania trump did. you might recall, sasha and malia were quite young. and it is melania trump whose concerned. very protective of her
4:19 pm
10-year-old son baron. so that is something they share. this is very different than what their husbands experienced today. no cameras not. press. we have one photo from the white house press office. all smiles. we are told that it started off with a tour of the residence. and went to the truman balcony. that as you know erin the place where the first lady and barack obama, the president, spending a lot of quality time there. so it is a special place for them. they took them there. and also melania was shown taken to the state floor in the white house to meet with the curator of the white house. that is bill almond. and he really is a human encyclopedia for all things inside of the building. and so she got a tour and she also got a lot of ideas about the white house looks like. the public space as well as the private space. and all of this as you know really meant to give them an opportunity, a chance to break
4:20 pm
the ice here in light of a very bitter campaign. this was with michelle obama saying quite publicly, quite forcefully making her case that she did not believe melania's husband was fit for the office and also followed the rnc convention where we saw melania introduce her husband but also seemingly take a portion from her speech very similar to michelle obama's in 2008. so there is a lot of fodder there for both of they want. but the white house says this is just the first of many meetings, erin. >> all right. thank you very much suzanne. a meeting would have been great to be a fly on the wall in both meetings. joining us now our panel. we'll see who ends up being the chief of staff. let's start with what you just
4:21 pm
saw. the michelle obama and melania trump meeting. symbolic moment but obviously very cordial. >> both of these meetings between donald trump and the president and melania trump and michelle obama. this is good for the american people to see. because it does represent i turning the page. going away from this nasty campaign where everyone said mean things about each other. now we're moving forward. it is the hallmark of the united states t peaceful transition of power. and it is heartening no see them talking to each other like civil humans. >> and let's -- because if anybody wouldn't be able to talk to each other likes civil human, it might be these two people given what they have said in the past. and yet they were so gracious to each other today. here are some of the things they had to say about each other. >> my priority is my son barron -- our son barron. >> i'm a full time mother to our son barron. >> at the end of the day my most important title is still mom in
4:22 pm
chief. >> actually that wasn't the sound bite i was looking for. but phillip, you know they do have obviously having in common. michelle and melania trump. but let me play what i wanted to play which is president obama and president elect donald trump saying such nice things about each other today. >> i have been very encouraged by the, i think, interest in president elect trump's wanting to work with my team. >> mr. president, it was a great honor being with you. and i look forward to being with you many, many more times in the future. very good man. >> thank you guys. >> heartening things to hear. heartening image and hopefully healing for americans who are so divided right now. >> amazing picture because donald trump sitting in front of a bust of martin luther king
4:23 pm
j.r. it is a peaceful transition of power. i do think it seemed like he was a little nervous and understandably so. the weight of this job is going to be tremendous. and i think in that 90 minute time period donald trump got an understanding of just how important this road is going to be. >> i want to ask on the issue that came up in reince priebus and my conversation about the -- in this case it was about how donald trump would treat muslims. but there are other groups in this country who are also concerned. does donald trump need to speak to these people? some of whom are protesting now. and say if his policies have changed, how and why? does he need to talk to them david? >> yes i think he does. i don't think he needs do it immediately. and you have to say both he and president obama have given an excellent tone for the transition. gives us many you have more assurance about how the transition itself will be conducted. there are going to be issues
4:24 pm
that come up in the next few days. if trump names steve bannon as his chief of staff you are going to hear a lot of flurry about that one. but beyond that, i think that over time he does need to reach out. he'll have a couple of speeches coming up i'm sure public remarks where he can say some of those things. but ify if he were more proactive and call people in and talk to them. that is the kind of smart thing. you sometimes needs to do things that are a little daring in order to get attention and people say yeah okay i get it. >> should he do that jeffrey? call? have a meeting with whatever group it may be. muslim americans. muslim leaders in this country. >> zrump a good leader. he's a good executive. the donald trump you saw there is the donald trump that i know and so many of his friends and the people who work for him now. skpoi totally expect him to be doing this.
4:25 pm
that said i want to say something about the protests here. i have the gray hair for a reason. and it is because at my age i have seen -- i've grown up. and in my lifetime i have seen. and i'm sure some of these are the same people in the streets over vietnam. there were a million people in the streets protesting ronald reagan's nuclear policy. they are demanding nuclear free. carrying paper ma shay heads and saying it is not a movie ron. they do the this all the time. they are going to do this to donald trump. they did it to poor hubert humphrey in chicago. some of these people are not going to change because it is their profession. >> this is not vanity. that is reaction to real concerns. we may not remember exactly everything donald trump said during the course of the campaign but we'll remember how we felt. whether it is the muslim community, whether it is african americans being concerned about the reintroduction of stop and frisk. whether it is the immigrant community broadly. i think there is real anger and concern. look, the tone on tuesday night
4:26 pm
and told have been great. so the question then becomes is he going to be the person that is welcoming to all these communities and let people know that he is going to be the president for everyone? >> i was in the protests last nights. >> i was watching your twitter feed. >> it was young people. promptly young women who are concerned about donald trump not because they are concerned about donald trump's policies. they are concerned about donald trump as donald trump. and donald trump cannot sit down with a woman and make that go away. he needs to demonstrate other the next four years he's doing significant outreach and not doing the things people are worried about with women. not doing the things people are worried with the african american community and tot doing the things people worried about with the african american community. >> hillary clinton seen for the first time since her concession speech. my guest, hillary clinton

4:33 pm
people saw an incredibly painful moment for her. how did she seem to you? >> honestly i think she seemed as well as anybody could be expected after, you know, such a crazy, crazy experience. i can't speak to how she was feeling on the inside. but she couldn't have seemed any nicer or kinder and gracious to me. you know, i think it was a very dark day for a lot of people yesterday. so this was a very hopeful encouraging moment for me. and that is really why i posted the picture at all. >> and bill clinton i know was there margo. he's not in the picture. >> he took the picture actually. >> all right. thank you so much. i appreciate you taking the time margo. and there are many who were very
4:34 pm
eager to see this picture. and thank you for sharing it. >> thank you. i hope it makes people feel hopeful and comforted. that is really why i posted it. >> thank you. >> thank you so much. >> we're learning more tonight about what the clinton campaign thinks went so wrong versus what they expected. obviously she was out in the woods with bill taking a walk today. and she posed for that pitcher. >> life goes on. it has to. and the fact they are hiking in the woods. but i think, you know, to that woman's point, seeing a lot of hillary clinton supporters in my facebook feed and on twitter, i think a lot of women especially just wanted to give her a hug. so hearing that, that this women did that, i think she spoke for a lot of folks out there who are upset. >> and there are. there are tens of millions of them when you look at the vote here. that is how this country's split. >> and better the donald trump
4:35 pm
loss. >> and -- the other way around as well. and the "new york times" is reporting that hillary clinton privately is admitting she stepped in when he did something that --. she said deplorables. let me just play exactly what she said. >> to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. right? the racists, sexists, homophobic, zxenophobic, islamophobic, you name it. and unfortunately there are people like that. >> is that something a lot of people heard. pollsters didn't pick it up and that over the summer could have started to turn that rust belt away from her.
4:36 pm
>> i don't know if that is the issue. i do think she believes it was a m misbecause she said so right afterwards. i don't think that in and itself was the issue. i do believe that the way in which she characterized some of donald trump's comments, i think that those are things over the course of time we've seen and i've rashed about it. and others have remarked about it. but i think she was particularly contrite o about that and admitted it off the bat. i think the e-mails themselves and the stories about the e-mails that have been fed into the narrative was difficult to over come be. >> do you think that this actually influenced people. >> i think it did. and i want to in a partial sense defend hillary clinton here. i think she really believes that but she is not alone -- >> -- >> right and the things she added. i went back a looked at the speech she had at wesley when
4:37 pm
she graduated and it has similarities. when i was a wanna beliberal in college. and i began to pick up this the contempt which i believe american liberalism has come to exemplify. and that little statement from her is a snapshot. i totally convinced she really believes it. and more to the point t people that were in the room laughing all agree. >>ed think you take it a lit too far. they say that liberals have a contempt with the working class which so many of us and to be able to say that she herself has that kind of contempt i think is stretching that comment -- >> -- moral of the story is talk about the candidate. don't talk about their voters. >> consistently for weeks now. this contrast between the elites hillary clinton represented and donald trump despite where he lives and all his money what he
4:38 pm
represented to folks and i they that does reinforce but i don't think it made a huge difference in the campaign. >> and next the gop threatening to rip obama's signature issue to shreds. can he just get rid of obamacare just like that. >> and taylor swift and barron and donald driving. to help prevent another one. a bayer aspirin regimen is one of those steps in helping prevent another stroke. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen.

breaking news. president elect trump promising healthcare reform will be a top priority as president. no surprise but what it means of course is getting rid of obamacare. so is back gone? can it just happen just like that? tennes of millions of american, this whole country wants to know and manu raju is "outfront" with answers. >> reporter: with the campaign now over republicans are plotting an assault on the president's signature legacy item, obamacare. >> -- more affordable and better. and we're going to do a real job for the public. >> getting rid of obamacare has
4:43 pm
been a gop rallying cry since the law was enacted more than six years ago. >> real change begins with immediately repealing and replacing obamacare. >> reporter: but they have failed repeatedly to overcome democratic resistance over repealing the law. with trump now headed to the oval office and the gop controlling both chambers of congress, the law appears to be on life support. >> when donald trump said he wants a special session to repeal and replace obamacare, let me tell you, as a speaker of the house. not only yes, but he cck yes. we're ready do that too. >> reporter: republicans are likely to hold fifty senate seats in the senate.
4:44 pm
and they only need 51. so subsidies and taxes expansion of medicaid could be on the chopping block. yet there are limits. it would require 60 votes to repeal other provrgss such as allowing people to have preexisting conditions to get health insurance. and republicans would need democratic support on a bill to replace obamacare. a difficult task over such a polarizing issue. obama making an appeal to voters while campaigning for hillary clinton. >> 20 million americans have health insurance that didn't visit before. but make no mistake, all that progress goes down the drain if we don't win tomorrow. >> democrats in congress plan to fight tooth and nail to save the sweeping law. >> if we're going to repeal and replace we need to replace with something that doesn't take healthcare away or insurance away from 20 million people. >> but goppers say voters expect
4:45 pm
them to do away with healthcare. >> let's say every single republican thought obamacare was a mistake. without exception. that's still our view. and you can expect us with a new president who has the same view to address that issue. >> reporter: passing a replacement bill could take up to two years erin. the entire during of congress. that is if they get democratic support. and in the meantime as the obama administration leaves office they are redoubling efforts to get people to sign up through the healthcare.gov website. a hundred thousand people signed up, the day after the election. the best day yet in open enrollment. so shows how difficult to be to simply gut the law. >> a fascinating one to watch. but i think it can go in a category of the promise that trump will keep not. matter up. i "outfront" next, isis
