4:00 am
really, it's not that hard. at least you get to be white while you're doing it. >> comedian dave capell there. we have more saturday kn"saturd live" in the next hour. clinton was a lot to unpack there. and thank you. want to thank you for starting your day with us as we hid into the 7:00 hour here. >> starts right now. welcome to sunday. we are always so grateful that you spend your morning with us. i'm christi paul. >> iim'victor blackwell. trump appears on the verge of selecting his chief of staff as the person who will help shape trump's white house and his poll say -- policy agenda.
4:01 am
we're following a weekend of nationwide protests against the president-elect from trump tower in new york to los angeles. tens of thousands of demonstrators hitting the streets and venting their anger. okay. what you're looking at there is overnight in las vegas where protestors were marching from the strips to the step of the trump hotel. >> also new this morning, lawyers for donald trump have asked the judges to postpone this month's trump university trial. it will take away from trump's critical and all-consuming presidential transition. >> donald trump's transition is set to take another step forward as he prepares to pick a chief of staff. cnn's sunlen serfaty has more on what we're looking forward to. >> good morning, christi and
4:02 am
victor. president-elect donald trump looks like he'll make a choice on who will be part of his incoming white house team. kellyanne conway telling reporters outside of trump tower that she believes the choice will be imminent and that likely we will see donald trump publicly within a few days. sources previously telling cnn to expect the white house chief of staff announcement to potentially come as soon as monday. so potentially circle next week on your calendar. now we know that the top choices appear to be republican national committee chair reince priebus and donald trump's campaign chair steve bannon. with the heavy emphasis on sources telling us that reince priebus is the leading contender. here's what kellyanne conway told reporters on saturday. >> i think with the position there are several people being considered. mr. trump's decision ultimately. >> reporter: meanwhile, we are getting some insight whether president-elect donald trump plans to be tweeting as much in
4:03 am
the white house as he did during the campaign. we all know and remember his controversial and at times provocative tweets. in an interview on "60 minutes" he says he credits many wins in many seats to his ability to get out on twitter. when he was asked if he would keep up this amount of tweeting here's what he had to say. >> i'm going to do very restrained if i use it at all. i'm going to be very restrained. i find it tremendous. it's a modern form of communication. there should be nothing you should be ashamed of. it's -- it's where it's at. i do believe this, i really believe that the fact that i have such power in terms of numbers with facebook, twitter, instagram, et cetera, i think it helped me win all of these races where they're spending much more money than i spent. and i won. i think that social media has
4:04 am
more. to a certain extent i fooled them. >> reporter: social media tools are important to donald trump. with everything on his plate, getting his transition team up and running and looking forward to taking over the reins at the white house that donald trump is still paying attention to his twitter followers. he said that he knows he picked up 100,000 new followers on thursday alone. christi and victor? >> sunlen, thank you so much. joining me to talk, josh rogen, cnn political analyst and columnist for washington post and tom lovianko and jack kingston. good morning to all. >> good morning. >> we're going to talk about twitter in a moment because we have to talk about it. i want to talk first about the trump university lawsuit that donald trump's attorneys are asking the federal judge to postpone until after the inaugurati inauguration. here's what donald trump said about this case on msnbc a
4:05 am
couple of months ago. >> i could have settled this case. i could have settled the case a number of times. i could have settled the case now if i wanted to settle the case. i don't settle cases. you know what happens? when you settle cases, everybody sues you. at least with me i don't settle cases very often. at least with me they know they have to go through the ringer. >> all right, jack. you were literally a trump campaign advisor. the judge in this case, judge curio, had advised mr. trump to settle this case. what would your advice be to the president-elect? >> i think this is going to be part of the transition from businessman to president. i think what's going to happen is mr. trump will be faced with vgs to give up some of the practices that he just stated. one of his practices was that if somebody sued him, he sued -- or he pushed back and he pushed back hard. i see that philosophy.
4:06 am
i was a businessman, but when you're president you just have to let it go. >> so is it settled? >> i won't give him advice. i don't know the denails. they'll find themselves having to settle a bunch of unfinished business. >> josh, speaking of unfinished which is, there are 75 lawsuits. some see this as resolve and stubbornness him saying i don't scenario and you psy the future president fighting the 75 or so lawsuits? >> let's also take into account that president-elect trump has promised to sue all of his accusers in the various sexual assault allegations after he's president. we'll see if he actually follows through on that. i think the bottom line here is that it's very unlikely that trump as president-elect will have any time to deal with any of this and so it's very
4:07 am
unlikely any of these things will get resolved in the next four years. he's required -- most experts will tell you what a president-elect should do is he should divest himself of all of these businesses and put all of the money and equity into a blind trust. he's decided to hand over his various obligations to his adult children who are also involved in his presidential administration transition. this is a web of conflicts and interests that the trump team hasn't even begun to think about. >> tom, let me come to you on those cases. he said that he would sue the "new york times." he suggested he would sue each of the women who accused him during the campaign of sexual assault. any reporting there if he's going to hold to those promises? >> well, that's one of the big questions that we still have out
4:08 am
there. what will he follow through on? we haven't heard specifically if he will follow through or not. you have to wonder whether a sitting president of the united states will be filing suit against individuals. that doesn't seem like a good use of time. you know, getting back to one of the original points on the twitter, his comments here on "60 minutes" on twitter. he can't focus on twitter because he's focusing on creating a white house. he's building this thing from scratch basically. you have a lot of republicans who were not a part of his campaign, weren't supporting him. they're kind of coming home as they say now. when it was looking like it might go obama to clip ton, that was going to be an easy transition. it's time consuming. to go back to the lawsuits, running the country is, you know, 20 hour a day job at least. >> but we point out here that he was aware that he gained 100,000
4:09 am
twitter followers on the day before he got shot that interview. let me come back to you, jack, because you were on this program yesterday and you said something that stood out as we look ahead to the transition into the future trump administration and his cabinet and here's what you said. >> mike pence not only knows the capitol, he knows the players of the house and senate, he knows how the committee system work and he knows all the governors. that really brings a unique talent to the picture. >> so obviously that's not what you said because you're sitting there with wolf blitzer and it's the middle of the night. that's the wrong sound bite. you said i believe that when he's through, speakings about the president-elect, selecting his team the american people are going to be very, very happy, including those protesters. i think you're going to see a very diverse cabinet, geographically, lags, let's put up by the faces of trump's transition team.
4:10 am
not exactly the rainbow coalition. where is this diversity you speak of? >> well, i can't quite see all the roster but you have people like bondi, marsha blackburn. >> neither of those names have been released to cnn. this is based on the list of the chair men and the executive committee advisors. >> they actually are on the executive committee and i do have that list and it's -- i thought it was public. so i apologize. i don't think i'm speaking out of school. >> okay. >> there is a diversity of people on there. remember, this is the selection committee. so many of the people who were involved in the campaign are on the transition committee. the end product is going to look different. the end product is going to be a lot more reflecttive of america and bipartisan and geographic spread and everything else. >> wouldn't this be a good start
4:11 am
though? the only african-american, the only minority that i see from my vantage point and ben carson said something. >> bruce is very much in the groove, if you will. that started, by the way, in 2015. it wasn't something that just trump thought of would look good in the last 60 days. >> he's not on the transition team? >> he's not on the transition team. people like that whose name will be batted around. >> he was here yesterday and not on the transition team. we have gone well over our time for this. thank you all for the conversation. >> thank you. straight ahead, hillary clinton has a frank conversation with her donors about why she believes she lost. some of her reasons don't even mention the name donald trump,
4:12 am
but the question now is how will the party move forward? ♪ and the seagulls they'll be smilin ♪ ♪ and the rocks on the sand it's so peaceful out here. yeah. introducing the new turbocharged volkswagen alltrack with 4motion® all-wheel drive. soon to be everywhere. ...one of many pieces in my i havlife.hma... so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine
4:13 am
that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com. before it became a medicine, it was an idea. a wild "what-if." so scientists went to work. they examined 87 different protein structures and worked for 12 long years. there were thousands of patient volunteers and the hope of millions. and so after it became a medicine, someone who couldn't be cured, could be. me.
4:15 am
hillary clinton is moving on and she is 10u7di insounding of who is partially to blame. it has nothing to do with donald trump either. she's calling out fbi director james comey. she said her campaign, quote, could not overcome the impact of the fbi letters that came just days before the election. comey renewed the probe of e-mails on october 28th. clinton said that disclosure stopped the momentum of her campaign. days after the first letter a second letter from comey exonerated chin be ton again. thank you so much for being with us. >> good morning. >> how much do you collectively all believe that comey had
4:16 am
something to do with this? because there was a lot. people are acknowledging there were a lot of missteps along the way. >> christi, you remember. you guys broke the news on this show and i was fortunate to be able to be here that day to talk about it. was it a distraction? absolutely. because what it did, it took the campaign off message from talking about issues like immigration, education and more importantly jobs. so they spent the next five to six days responding to this what we thought was a baseless claim. i think that was part of the problem. let's just be realistic. the republicans has independent white women voted for donald trump. i think if the campaign starts to heal and they go back and do sort of an autopsy of what happened. yes, the comey letter did play a big part of her deneat. there were a lot of other things that we have to get over and move forward. >> a lot of people were surprised about the women who voted for him because of some of
4:17 am
the things that were revealed in the campaign. what does that tell you about the democrats and maybe there is a disconnect between the party and electorate and maybe policy comes into play. >> the first thing is democrats, we're in the process of healing. first we have to say, listen, we lost this election. let's take some time to get over it but then we have to move forward. i think we cannot shy away from issues that are important to women like wage stagnation in the workplace, making sure income inequality doesn't affect women. making sure small women business owners have access to contracts. we have to listen to them. clearly there was a mej sage from the hillary clinton campaign that didn't resonate with them. we have to listen to what they want. >> i want to listen to this tweet from jim manley. he said, quote, if there had been no private server in the first place there would not have been an fbi investigation. when your party is doing a postmortem, where do you put
4:18 am
this? what is your take away as you do try to move forward, as you do try to find a new leader of the party. >> everyone is a monday morning quarterback now. they're bolt predictions. we have to accept that we lost the race. more importantly, we have to work with donald trump as president obama said. we have to hold him accountable. we cannot forget our democratic principles. we welcome everyone. we believe america is a great place for everyone to thrive. i think we have to continue to talk about that to our voters. also, we have to expand our electorate. i think we need to pick a leader out of the box. needs to be someone who's inspiring, innovative. it needs to be a person of color i think, a person young. >> who do you think in the party can work well with donald trump moving forward? >> i think -- >> there was a little bit of a nervous laughter there. >> no, no, i think, listen, we've got to work with him. more importantly in working with him, this is the same guy that
4:19 am
ran for office said he was going to destroy isis in the first 100 days. he wants to deport millions and millions of immigrants. >> we've seen him back off and walk back some of these from immigration to obamacare. he may be coming to a realization that not everything, as most candidates do especially if they're having comfort. everything i said i was going to do i can't necessarily do because you get into the white house, you get the the classified information and you get briefed and realize that's not possible. >> i think dave shapiro hit the nail on the head when donald trump sat down with president obama. you could see his face. i think he was really overwhelmed. he was like, oh, my god, i'm really about to endure and inherit all of these issues. you mentioned obamacare. are you going to take away obamacare from 20 million people? there are certain provisions he can try to reverse. >> he has said there wouldn't be
4:20 am
that time lapse so people wouldn't be without it but just for your party looking forward, who do you look at now and think this is somebody who can help lead us? >> well, the first thing, we've also got to get a lot of credit to debbie wasserman schultz and donna brazile. they did a good job. now we have to look beyond that. we can't go back with the typical model. i think we have to lis ento the committee. we have to listen to the voters who did not vote for hillary clinton in the election. i do think it needs to be someone who's inspiring, someone who's innovative, someone who's outside of the box. cannot be the typical insider washington mainstream. >> maybe not somebody who's in the party? >> maybe not. but if that person, he or she is in the party, i think they've got to basically build that coalition. we've got to embrace the bernie sanders supporters. we have to make sure the hillary clinton supporters stay involved and in the party. >> always a pleasure to have you here. >> thank you so much. >> victor? for the fifth night in a row
4:21 am
now protestors have said over the election of donald trump what they hope to gain by taking their message to the streets. what makes this simple salad the best simple salad ever? heart healthy california walnuts. the best simple veggie dish ever? heart healthy california walnuts. the best simple dinner ever? heart healthy california walnuts. great tasting, heart healthy california walnuts. so simple. get the recipes at walnuts.org. as ai can embrace a worldber, full of surprising moments. the new marriott portfolio of hotels now has 30 brands in over 110 countries. so no matter where you go, you are here. join or link accounts today. 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?
4:22 am
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. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't 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.
4:24 am
4:25 am
>> probably all the way up to inauguration day. we're going to talk about that. nightly occurrence across america from coast to coast. again, police forcing to pluck out people from the crowds with inciting violence. take you to the streets in portland. the city made headlines, police arresting 19 people overnight. some of them blocking rail, also vehicle traffic in some parts of the city. that was also the scene of a shooting yesterday morning. new developments in that one. at least two people arrested there as the investigation continues. in las vegas crowds also gathering outside of trump international hotel. protests remaining relatively peaceful. the big apple where demonstrations stretched almost five blocks along fifth avenue. inside manhattan's trump tower, michael moore tried riding that famous escalator that you recall
4:26 am
was used by donald trump the day he announced his candidacy last year. they called president-elect donald trump illegitimate. the demonstrations are expected to continue tonight. many peaceful. many did break out in some violence including in indianapolis. we're told at least two police officers were hurt when rocks were thrown their way. several people arrested there as well, victor and christi. back to the demonstrations. they'll continue. in fact, there is one massive demonstration planned in the nation's capitol the day after inauguration day. women's march on washington. we checked the website a little while ago. 44,000 women signed up. that number will grow. >> that's not necessarily' protest against trump though? that's more against women's rights? >> correct. many of these, the political elections, the presidential election is a topic of -- >> if that's the only
4:27 am
demonstration. >> thank you. >> thank you, guys. breaking news we want to get to out of new zealand. a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit this morning. let's bring in cnn's weather allison chinchar. what do we know? >> it has intensified. it was originally a 7.4. they have upgraded it to 7.8. the depth was a little bit shallower. it's back to 23 kilometers which is just about 15 miles give or take. you have to understand the shallower the earthquake is, the more likely it is to cause damage. now that we know it was a little bit deeper that gives us hope that the damage will be significantly less. however, the magnitude also went up. that means that it was a stronger earthquake. so in terms of overall it may not end up making much of a difference that the depth ended up being a little bit deeper. now we do know that there have been no tsunami warnings or no
4:28 am
tsunami watches listed. they have stated that because of the aftershocks that may come shortly after, there is the potential that they could end up issuing something if they deem it necessary. so they're telling people to be on guard in case they have a very strong after shock that takes place over the water because, again, where this happened was just north of christchurch but very close to the water. now it happened over land which pretty much negates much of a chance of having a tsunami, but the after shocks may be different. now this happened just shortly after midnight local time. this woke a lot of people up from their sleep. a lot of people on twitter saying they're not sure they're going to be able to go back to sleep because the after shocks have been relatively strong. in fact, we've already had at least a few at 6.0 or higher and numerous ones at least magnitude 5 or higher. that's likely, victor and christi, to continue over the course of the hour. i imagine a lot of folks are on edge as they're trying to get outside and assess what damage there may be.

4:33 am
>> as we could be closing in on the name of a key player in the trump white house, all of this is happening. take a look. >> do you have a sense for timetable of chief of staff? >> it's imminent. no, but it's imminent. >> kellyanne conway says steven bannon and reince priebus being considered. on the campaign trail donald trump made jobs one of his key issues promising that during his time in office 25 million jobs would be created essentially adding to that couple of years saying over the next decade by implementing a plan to cut regulations, cut tarxes, spend n infrastructure and renegotiate trade deals. some have blasted trump's plan telling cnn that trump's policies would cost the policy a trillion dollars over the next five years. let's talk about this. steven moore, president of the heritage foundation and economic
4:34 am
advisor to donald trump along with cnn political commentator josh rogen back with us. gentleman, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> hi. >> steven, i want to start with you and what the right leaning economist doug hosekin calls implausible at best when he talks about donald trump's economic plan. bringing tax rates down to three categories, 15, 25, 33%, i believe, bringing down corporate taxes to 15%. you respond to that claim how? >> by saying that's exactly what critics said of ronald regan's program. it couldn't possibly work. it's going to make the economy worse. the stock market will flop. of course, we had one of the biggest economic booms in the country's history. we think we can duplicate that. we're going to do it by a formula as you said by cutting our tax rates. you mentioned the individual rates. we think out of the gate is to get the rates down on our
4:35 am
businesses and go from having one of the highest business tax rates in the world to one of the lowest. there's just no question that will be a magnet for new jobs, capitol, factories coming to the united states. we think there's millions of jobs from doing that. and of course you mentioned the regulatory assault. as i've been involved with donald trump and meeting with, you know, business leaders around the country, they say the regulatory strangle hold right now that's taking place under barack obama, is even worse than the taxes. if you alleviate that tax and regulatory burden, i think you get a lot more jobs and then you get a lot more revenue to the government. >> josh, let me come to you on the national debt. bob woodward said he could eliminate essentially the national debt which is $19.8 trillion if you look this morning fairly quickly, he said, he said over the course of eight years. >> right. well, you don't -- i don't think you have to be an economist to
4:36 am
understand that if you drastically cut taxes and you raise spending as donald trump has promise the to do with his various infrastructure investments, that creates a hole, okay? that's actually building debt not getting rid of debt. so i've never really heard, i don't think anyone's heard a clear explanation of how donald trump plans to get rid of our national debt. we've also seen an example albeit on a smaller scale of what happens when you put this exact kind of economic scheme in place in the state of texas where republican governor sam brownback was able to get huge tax cuts and the private sector jobs did not materialize. what ended up happening was that there was a huge budget deficit that went way up. they were forced to cut vital services to people. so, you know, until someone explains how this is different than that, i think there's going to be a lot of skepticism that, a, donald trump will be able to implement the plan and, b, that it will be able to produce enough growth to overcome the
4:37 am
deficienci deficiencies. >> steve, can you explain what the plan is to eliminate $19.8 trillion in debt. first you have to balance the budget and then have you to have a surplus to pay off the debt. how do you do that in eight years? >> i don't think you can do it mathematically. i think most americans feel good. we've been running trillion dollar deficits. in the first eight years we were borrowing a trillion dollars a year. we can't do that as a nation. if we want to be a great nation, world class super power, we've got to bring that deficit down. i do think we can balance the budget in eight years and i think we can start to retire a little bit of the debt but, no, you're into the going to eliminate 19 trillion dollars. >> then why would he suggest it? if his strength is that he's a businessman and he's created this empire, why would he suggest to bob woodward back on march 31st of this year that you
4:38 am
can get rid of $19.8 trillion in debt in eight years? >> i don't know. i'm just going to simply say this. we are going to -- the most important thing about the economy right now is getting it to grow again. we've had 1.5% growth for the last year. that just won't get the job done. if you're concerned about the red ink in washington, you've got to get growth up to about 4 to 5%. we believe we can do that. just look at the states. the states that have the lowest tax rates have the most economic growth. look at texas and florida and compare them with states like, you know, massachusetts, states like new york that are just bleeding jobs. so we think the formula is more private sector investment by businesses, whereas, this last administration has been about growing the government. and that hasn't worked very well. >> well, the numbers out from october showed 151,000 jobs, 73rd straight month of job growth but also the fastest wage growth since 2009, the start of
4:39 am
the recession or the end of it there. steven moore, josh rogen, thank you both. >> thank you. >> thank you. just ahead, a look to the future under president donald trump. how will it reshape the republican party? will the gop go further right? listen to one voice who says, you better believe it. big day? ah, the usual. moved some new cars. hauled a bunch of steel. kept the supermarket shelves stocked. made sure everyone got their latest gadgets. what's up for the next shift? ah, nothing much. just keeping the lights on. (laugh) nice. doing the big things that move an economy. see you tomorrow, mac. see you tomorrow, sam. just another day at norfolk southern.
4:42 am
it was a point of pride in trump's campaign, and now it's a source of mystery for those looking ahead. we're talking about the fact that donald trump has never held elected office. he doesn't have experience governing, even amongst his vast experience in the business world. he's going to be the first political novice president since
4:43 am
dwight eisenhower won more than 60 years ago. with no political record to go on, what kind of president will trump be. let's talk about it with trump biographer michael deantonio and princeton professor julian dowser. thank you for being here. we appreciate it. michael, i'd like to start with you. let's take a look at some of what we have seen from donald trump in the last several months. >> i called for a ban after san bernardino and was met with great scorn and anger. we must find out what is going on. we have to do it. it will be lifted, this ban, when and as a nation we're in a position to properly and perfectly screen these people coming into our country. african-americans, hispanics are living in hell because it's so dangerous. you walk down the street, you get shot. it is time for us to come
4:44 am
together as one united people. 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. >> thank you. >> so no doubt about it, gentlemen, during the campaign we saw a bolt, sometimes crass unapologetic donald trump. it's the last four or five days. he's had a more measured tone, a little more self-controlled it seems promising unity. michael, i'm wondering, do you get the sense that donald trump himself is trying to figure out who he is and who he wants to be in this new position? >> most definitely. you know, he is profoundly unprepared. even to mention dwight eisenhower in the same breath as donald trump is almost shocking to me. eisenhower was a moderate, sophisticated person who had led the american operate in europe during the second world war.
4:45 am
donald trump is an intemperate former reality tv show star who i think was quite shocked by his own victory on wednesday morning. so he is going to be trying very hard. you know, one of the things that i think upsets americans who are protesting is that he's very much like one of us suddenly thrust into the oval office. you know, we imagine what would we do if we were going to be president in less than 100 days. it's even compounded by the fact that this is a person who doesn't read so he gets all of his information from television and from briefings. don't expect him to turn to doris carnes goodwin or john meachem to figure out what a president does. i think it's going to be terribly difficult for him. >> julian, michael brings up a good point, that he doesn't have

any experience, but that is what drew a lot of people to him is that he is an anti-establishment man. you wrote -- just wrote a piece with your wife lynn jacobs from the daily beast. i'm going to quote interest it. in many respects this week's election has a potential to have even bigger consequences than reagan's victory for conservatism. walk us through some of the most striking consequences you prognosticate? >> first of all, you have a very, very conservative republican congress. we can't forget that. much more conservative than republicans were in the 1980s. they are going to try to take advantage of these next two years and push donald trump with them on a very right ward agenda. other than a senate filibuster, there's very little democrats can do to stop that. on deregulation of some version of this ban on muslims you would see pretty radical moves

combined with executive action which i assume donald trump will use freely. donald trump, let's not forget, ran an eclectic and conservative campaign and he talked a lot about many of the social justice issues of our era. so i wouldn't be be surprised if in the next two years he moves more aggressively than many people imagine he would. >> michael, i only have a couple of seconds left, but i wanted to get from you one of the driving forces for donald trump will most likely be his willingness to delegate and who he delegates to. how do you foresee that? >> well, he has a very narrow range of options because he doesn't really trust very many people and he hasn't drawn expertise from across the country or around the world to him so the fact that he's appointsed his three children to three of 16 spots in the transition planning group tells us that he's going to be

insular, quite isolated. and i actually think this makes him being vulnerable to be pushed towards the agenda that was described. it depends who gets lis ear right before he makes a decision. >> i have ten seconds. you have the last word. >> well, look, if you have someone like a rudy giuliani advising you on crime policy and race policy with regard to the law, you're going to move right. so i think his advisors are going to have a big sway. he's surrounding himself with pretty conservative people. >> appreciate your voices this morning. thank you, sir. we'll be right back. >> thank you. ♪ hey, is this our turn? honey...our turn? yeah, we go left right here.

dream about nights like tonight. it was a beautiful night. at the end of the night everyone went to the west wing of the white house. it was a huge party. everybody in there was black except for brandon cooper for some reason. and on the wall were pictures of all of the presidents. now i'm not sure if this is true, but the first black person officially invited to the white house was frederick douglas. they stopped him at the gates. abraham lincoln had to walk out himself and escort frederick douglas into the white house. it didn't happen again as far as i know until roosevelt was president. roosevelt was president, he had a black guy over and got so much flak from the media that he literally said i will never have [ bleep ] house again. i thought about that and i looked in that room and i saw all those black faces and bradley and i saw -- -- and i
