coming for you. thank four watchifor watchi tonight. i'm bill o'reilly. remember, the spin stops here. we are definitely looking out for you. >>. >>. breaking tonight just 18 hours after donald trump wins t white house and less than 12 hours after leaders call for unity, groups of protesters take to streets in a half dozen sit tees vent their anger and frustration at the election of donald trump. welcome to "the kelly file" everybody, i'm megyn kelly. at this hour we are seeing anti-trump protest breaking out in new york, chicago, philadelphia, and in oakland, california. these protests come near hours after the president, president-elect, and the woman who wanted to be president, all call for the exact opposite of what we're seeing. imploring the country to come

together, following a historical political victory. we will have more on that part of the story in a moment. but first we go to rob schmidt on the streets in new york city with the protesters. rob, what are you seeing? >> megyn, we are only about eight blocks from you. this is a massive protest. this all started at 6:00 tonight in union square. thousands and thousands of people marched up through the rain. there you go. this is a perfect example of it. we gotcha, buddy. about thousands. several thousand in the rain came up. very motivated. we are at 54th and 5th avenue, not too frar from our headquarters. this is an explosion of anger at the election of donald trump. something you have been seeing on social media. something you've been seeing with people around you. especially in major cities. new york is no stranger to protest. we have always known that. we can show you a couple shots from a helicopters above. this is thousands of people here

on 5th avenue. very impressive showing of support for the other side. the side that didn't win in this election, frankly. a lot of anger here. can you see what they are talking about. and a lot of curse words as you heard there. but when you look at what this is comprised of, the people that are here, angry right now, if you remember that in the comments leaked from hillary clinton when she talked about the bernie supporters saying that the disillusioned people living in their parents' basement, this is a lot of that fabric. a lot of bernie sanders supporters. a lot of black lives matter. a hodgepodge of so many different groups here that are angry that want answers about what happened about how this election occurred about how donald trump is not a a president of the united states and seem confused by it. even the nurses union had a showing here. you see a number of groups coming together. shouting different things. there is, you know, a lot of

screaming fascism and other things like that. a major show of support like i said for the side that didn't win in this election and donald trump is enemy number one. i'm not sure if he is home at trump tower. if he is, he has thousands of people outside his doorstep that don't like him. megyn, back to you. >> rob, can you get in there and ask questions of some of these folks? i would like to know, whether or not, a, they voted and b, what they think of president bomb's call for unity, hillary clinton's call for unity, not to mention donald trump. >> sure. we are at risk after curse word or two. >> well we're heard that before. >> anybody? anybody? everybody shy? >> get in there, rob, come on. >> i really am. anybody? can i just ask you can be did you vote. >> yes. >> who did you vote for? >> not your guy. >> not our guy. >> megyn, apparently we have a guy. i didn't know we add guy. he didn't vote for our guy. >> welcome to new york city. >> everyone here is very camera

shy. back to you. >> thank you. what is amazing, these people come out to times square and fifth avenue and want their voices heard. except on fox news. which has the biggest viewership in all of cable. and then they claim um up. don't want to be heard at all. that's helpful to your position. ironically this is playing out after a remarkable call for un ooit today. from president obama, president-elect trump and from hillary clinton. watch this. >> last night i congratulated donald trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country. i hope that he will be a successful president for all l all americans. >> hillary worked a very long time. we owe her a major gratitude of debt for her work in our country. i mean that sincerely.

>> i want to make sure that hand off is executed perfectly because we are on same team. >> donald trump is our president. we owe him the open mind and the chance to lead. >> it is time to bind the open wounds of division. i pledge to every citizen of our land that i will be president for all-americans. and this is so important to me. >> we all want what's best for this country. that's what i heard in mr. trump's remarks last night. that's what i heard when i spoke to him. directly. and the i was hartened eartened. >> we begin tonight with bill bennett who served as secretary of education under president reagan and chairman of education. now protest in seven major cities tonight. it doesn't seem like the democrats, i'm assuming they're

democrats, are listening to their sitting president's call for unity, to hillary clinton's call for unity and you tell me how they guest past that and accept the result that the american people have reached fair and square. >> well, there's no really no time-outs, you know, no stopping the action at a busy country. if people thought we would have a 24-hour or 48-hour break, we don't. they are exercising their free speech rights. but what exactly are they protesting? constitutional way of engaging in democracy? >> they seem to f donald trump. when asked to explain further the one gentleman we spoke with declined based on the fact that it was fox news channel. go ahead, bill. >> yeah, fox news guy. yeah. so a tantrum. our guy lost or our gal lost so we will protest.

but the way democracy works, one side loses, one side wins. it is a bit of of a charade about peace and unity. it's appreciated. i appreciate what hillary clinton said, what president said and what the president-elect said. but we know as soon as you get into issues, as soon as you get into serious discussion if donald trump follows his agenda and starts with getting rid of obama care, there will be serious disagreement. and that's part of democracy too. >> and should dough that? some are already saying, oh, he will moderate. who knows if he will live up to the campaign promises. what do you think? >> well, sure he should. that's a promise. that's what people took him for his word and took him seriously and supported him. yeah. that's what he ran on. part of this is, will he reach out, reach out to the other side, which means will he compromise his views which in the end means will he give up his views. but donald trump is not one to easily to hedge on these things. so of course he will. and of course there will be

opposition to it. can it be civil? sure. should it be civil? yeah. will it be? who knowes. but he was elected to do certain things and he should by all means proceed do that. and what an extraordinary opportunity, megyn with the house and senate. can i say one other thing? >> yeah. >> i've been watching fox all day, as loyal as i am to you guys. everybody is apologizing for being wrong. all of the polsters. i'm not apologizing. i wasn't wrong. and i'm not going to toot my horn but there were some of us who weren't all wrong. i heard that a lot today. some of us thought trump would win and we thought he had good reason to win. >> and on top of that, bill, you're of the mind that it's good to reach out. good to shoot for unity but that the other -- it is -- the trump detractors who need to go to him to try to reach that unity. explain that. you know, many people have said that he as the man in power

needs to sort of roll out the carpet and say, you are welcome and you will be well received. >> there's a difference between engaging with goodwill on issues with which you disagree and engaging to such a degree that you neuter yourself and neuter your own views. he should do the former but not the latter. he can step forward and say i was open about the issues. i think we should get rid of the executive orders and i plan to do that with an executive order the first day and he can do that in a civil way. that doesn't mean it'll be greeted with hallelujahs. but you know, there's a difference again between operating with goodwill and in disagreement and acting in a disagreeable way. i think he will not be disagreeable if he can help it. but it will be hard for him to help it because he will be taked big time. i watched cnn for five minutes today. only five minutes, i promise. they said donald trump promised

unity today and to reach out. but he wasn't always so unified during the campaign then they played all these quotes. >> it is like trump said, this is a nasty business, politics. which he is new to. bill, i got go. great to see you. >> big boisterous country. we will survive it. thank you. nice job by wait. get any sleep yet? >> not yet. but looking good for tonight. >> all right. try mypillow.com. >> i've got like eight of them. thanks to the mypillow people. traveling press secretary in hillary clinton's 2008 campaign and founding director of georgetown's politics. when you see folks taking to the street tonight, and especially in light of what we heard today which is in essence that she lost because the democrats didn't show up. trump got his vote out. and she didn't. her ground game. you have talked about a lot. they did not show up for her. now they are out there. >> yeah, look, i, you know, i'm

the first to ood miadmit, listeo what bill just said, i'm the first to admit that i thought donald trump could win. i didn't think he would win. i am one of those people who is sort of eating crow today. and i totally agree with hillary clinton and president obama. that it is time for us to come together and we do get the president-elect the benefit of the doubt. and that we should root for him. we should want our president to be successful. and as part of the loyal opposition that doesn't mean we don't hold it accountable. and try to nudge him our way. but we want success. having said that, that's our end of the bargain. he's got to do his part as well. remember, he lost the popular vote. a majority of the people who cast votes did not vote for him. that doesn't mean he is illegitimate.

he is the president-elect. he won fair and square. but it shows just how divided this nation is. and one of the reasons why it is so divided, one of the reasons, is his rhetoric. during the campaign. and the things he said that really upset, caused pain and caused fear in millions and millions of americans. that's on him now. to reach out to those people. >> how? how does he get past that this is there are many groups scared today. how does a president-elect trump get them past that? >> yeah. in part with words and in part with actions. and he needs to move swiftly and somewhat delicately but needs to go out there and speak to these groups. and demonstrate through both words and actions that what he said last night and what i thought was really good and strong speech. much more gracious than a lot of us gave him credit for being. or for being able to be.

he made a point in the speech he wants to be a president for all-americans. through his words and through his actions. so i think both sides of the equation here, we are completely polarized and divided. there are issues i'm hopeful for that is a great first issue to start on them all sides can come together on. but that fear we see in the streets tonight, you know, i wish we weren't seeing that tonight but he has it recognize his part in that equation and move out. >> as somebody tied in the democratic circles, what feedback are you getting? what's the level of emotion and what are the emotions? >> yeah. i don't think i have ever seen the kind of emotion that i'm seeing after this election. there is a lot of sadness and there is a lot of fear.

there are a lot of people in the democratic family who are truly worried about the future right now. because of some of the divisiveness that came out of this campaign. and you know, the number of tears that i witnessed today, it is just not unlike anything i've ever seen. we usually get through the elections. i've been through tough elections. i've seen some pretty divided electorates but this feels more pronounced than i'm used to seeing. like i said we all have our work cut out for us to come together. >> one thing i can say about drup donald trump is he brings out feelings in just about everyone. first his supporters. now to see his detractors take to the streets across america in the thousands. protesting, the will of the people, essentially. you point out she won the popular vote but that's not the way it works in our republic. that does not win you the president spip which these

people understand. and it is quintessential american to protest as long as it is nonviolent and respectful. and so far they have. >> and civil. >> thank you. we will try to get some touch with some people. there's our correspondent rob schmidt in the crowd now. and hear what it is -- what is the goal? i mean, they just want to express their anger or their feelings or they want a different result. what is the goal? we will try to figure that out as we watch these marchs on the streets of new york, chicago, philly and elsewhere tonight. we also saw college student burning flags on a couple of campuses. professor jonathan tourly joins with us words of wisdom for these kids. many of whom could not attend class today because they were so upset. also tonight, governor mike huckabee and david parino.

donald trump moving forward with plans for the can untry. paul ryan saying his party sem boldened by donald trump's victory. >> i think what donald trump pulled off is an enormous political feat. he heard the voices out there that other people weren't hearing and he just earned mandate. we now just have the unified republican government. >> in moments, make huckabee, dana perino both here on what to expect from a trump administration. first, we hear from ed henry. ed? >> amazing how winning can bring people together. paul ryan offering no formal endorsement of the trump campaign. now moving quickly to try and convert others perhaps in the case of nancy pelosi might be trying to minimize criticism p.m. trump calling the democratic lead earn focussing on something they largely agree on that infrastructure bill to create jobs you just mentioned. also went back to working on mexican president to try to follow through on another key campaign promise of building that wall. the mexican government though still insisting it will not pay

for it. though the two leaders say they add cordial talk and agreed to their second meeting soon. and despite a lot of initial republican skepticism of trump, gop has a trifecta. the white house and beoth chambers of commerce. making following through on a key trump item on health care likely. >> i would be shocked if we didn't move forward to keep our commitment to the american people. >> mcconnell talking about repealing obama care. a lot harder for trump though to come up with an alternative to actually fix the problems caused by obama care and problems happening before obama care. if he followed through on undoing the iran nuclear deal that could be even more complex with big national security implications which is why democrats like tom daschle, former senate leader, told me trump needs to pull back on some of the more unila tendencies that we saw during the campaign if he will effectively govern.

watch. >> two words that come immediately to mind are outreach and inclusion. there's got to be a lot of outreach and it has to come both ways. >> even though he is a democrat tom daschle told me he thinks after such a nasty campaign expectations are now so low that he actually thinks trump has an opportunity here to get some things done that just with a little bit of effort he can get a lot of credit. >> ed, go to see you. mike huckabee, former presidential candidate and dana perino former bush white house secretary. great to see you both. dana, let me start with you, as someone who helped do this. first 100 days, what does president-elect trump need to worry about. >> even before the 100 days, and what i assume they have been thinking about since july, since they started the transition team that chris christie is running, you have to fill a lot of positions in the government. >> before inauguration? >> yes. there are certain national security positions in particular that should never be vacant. and it takes about eight weeks, believe it or not, to do a

background check on somebody in toward give them top secret clearance. if you work backwards, 70 days goes by quickly. >> immediately. >> there is going to be great people out there that will want it serve. but they will have to be vetted that is a really important thing. another thing to keep in mind is that there's the cabinet positions. one of the things harry reid did is he paved the way for cabinet secretaries. now just need majority. now republicans because they did so well in the senate races yesterday, have 51, they will be able to -- >> as opposed to 60. >> right. they can put forward those. one of the first things donald trump should do, or will do, is he will announce supreme court nominee quickly. something they have been prepared to do and that's now just the final decision. >> he submitted this list already of those in -- >> and he has to meet those -- >> governor huckabee, first of all, congratulations to you as drup

donald trump supporters and someone like bill bennett did like trump victory despite the polls showing and must feel gratified. what would you like to see donald trump do in the next 70 days as he gears up to take office. >> he needs to put together the best topossible team he can. he basically has two years to do a lot of big and bold things. that's because he will have the house, senate, and the white house. maybe he has it after those two years. but we don't know. but for two years he owns the town. and he's got to make good use of that. i think he has to remind democrats of the words of barack obama when barack obama said, look, elections have consequences. we won. and he proceeded to do what he wanted to do. that's how we ended up with obama care. i would like to see donald trump include democrats and make as many things bipartisan. but you know what? our country is in too big a mess to sit around and play patty cake. we have to get things fixed. >> and when barack obama was trying to push through obama care and the republicans wanted

certain ideas considered, barack obama was very much like, i won and you know, and you know -- >> basically told them -- well, said can you put it where the sun don't shine. that's not good for the speaker but by golly it got the job done. i would love to see donald trump at least attempt to bring them in. but if they are unwilling, go ahead and pass the business tax cut to 15%. revoke the iranian deal. get rid of obama care. sta start putting something in place. there are plenty of things that would work. republicans offered those ideas eight years ago. i think he has to move quickly. i do think the infrastuck tour structure /* /- infrastructure has bipartisan support but he can't let it drift in the wind while they knit pick it. >> dana, last thoughts.

on what you think a president trump cabinet will look like and whether you think it'll be a cast of familiar characters that we have seen on the kpcampaign trail as surrogates. >> yes. i think that some of the people supporting him, he will want to take with him to the white house. >> maybe governor huckabee. >> perhaps so. that would be a good choice. >> oh, you have the support of james. congratulations. >> this will be a tricky thing. there's lots of legislators that could be good that have governing experience or you might look to governors to pull them in but how do you make sure they say republican for you to support you and the things you want to do. >> you say pull democrats in? what do you mean state republican? >> meaning, could they win -- so if you poll a governor, can that governor be replace bed arepublican governor when there is a run off. >> orca lot for him to consider. >> so much. >> someone who understands washington will have to walk him through. there are rumors i might choose reince priebus as chief of staff. >> a trusted guy. >> they have been saying nice

things about each other lately. nice to see you, dana. remember the polls that said hillary clinton would win? fox news decision desk, not the desk itself, but arounded is here to explain what happened. president obama may have been a big issue in this presidential race. constitutional attorney jonathan tourly is here with a warning for the road ahead. the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose. the east and the west are mine. the north and the south are mine. all seems beautiful to me. ♪ everything your family touches sticks with them. make sure the germs they bring home don't stick around.

breaking tonight. back to the streets new york where we see thousands of protest efrs gathering around trump tower. noises around mid town manhattan and many cities after the election of donald trump. rob schmidt is out there with the crowd. rob? >> reporter: megyn, we see the slow dispersal of this crowd. still thousands strong within the inside of it, which is right here behind me. and about maybe a couple thousand have left at this point and still thousands inside of there. the resiliency, you have to admire of these protesters. it is cold out here in new york city tonight. we saw a lot of rain. they walked two miles through midtown manhattan, putting midtown at a complete gridlock at 7:00 at night. which you know is a very busy time. walking up broadway. up 6th avenue, over to 5th and up to trump tower.

there are concerns that student were too traumatized to go to class. and the universities allowed them to skip. jonathan tourly is an attorney and professor at george washington law. great to see you, professor. that's just sick. we have a series on this show called cupcake nation. this is what i'm talking about. you tell me whether eye luing student to skip classes in college because they are so upset about an election completely misunderstands the purpose of college. >> i think it does. >> there is a protest and some faculty say you don't have to take tests or come to school. and this is the point. and in college you learned a lot about being a citizen. and the burning of the flag these protests are really ignorant and hateful. that flag speaks to rights not to results. you can't say that you like the democratic process but only if it comes out your way.

it is like saying, i like going to baseball games but only for the score. what is being missed here particularly with the student, and particularly concerned with law student, is that we are raising a generation of emotional heme feel yacks that if legal or political things don't go your way, if something upset you, you sort of have a modern version of the vapors. that's not a good thing for us to support. i mean, if you feel that anger, if you feel hurt, then it should be used as a motivation to learn more, to get out there, to do things. >> the vapors, i love that. and especially when you think about law student. law student who cannot function in the face of what they perceive as injustice. you get it? you get the irony? a law student who cannot- ---god luck in the actual practice of law. it isn't going to work out too well for you. >> at george washington, a lot of my students were upset with the results. they were in my class. they were fired up, that's good.

some student celebrated the results, others denounced it. they were all in class. digive student off yesterday to participate in the election. >> that a different story. that's a different story all together. we are seeing this festering of this cupcake nation, which i would submit to you is one of the reasons people got elected. people are sick of this kind of, you can't say a word that is potentially offensive. that would include any discussion of social issues on college campuses. it has gone to extreme. let me ask you whether you think, you have been very vocal and you add rohad a role in cha some of barack obama's executive actions as president. you tell me whether or not you think last night's results were a repudiation of some of those executive overreaches of his. >> i think it was in part. first of all we do have to remember that voters were quite clear with the democratic party that they did not want an established figure. they found the ultimate establishment figure. they also said they did not want

a vote for hillary clinton. she had many negatives. so the results in that sense shouldn't be particularly astonishing. but i do think that there was this growing disconnect between citizens and their government. when barack obama was pushing forward his agenda as he had every right to do, he tried to change congress and failed. the republicans actually fought off that challenge. and when he came back, he said, that he would go unilaterally. he would go it alone. i that i for a lot of citizens made them think i really don't count. and in fact, they haven't counted much until last night. whatever you may think about this election, whatever you you may think about donald trump, this is a popular response of the american people. they want to count. and they did last night. now, you know, so i think that what we have to do is first of all, honor the system, democratic choice that was made, and we can have disagreements. we can have passionate disagreements. but we have to stay in the game and respect each other enough to

say we have a good system and it swings like a pendulum. but we still stay committed to each either and to that system. >> and we are proud of our system. we are proud. you may not like the results every time but it works and works usually quite beautifully. jonathan, thanks for being here. >> thanks, megyn. big question for so many today, what was the deal with all the polls? virtually all of -- all but two, had hillary clinton going into a comfortable lead going into last night's election. our chief number cruncher, my buddy from the decision desk, here next.

exit polls were sulgtiggesting mrs. clinton was going into a comfortable win. now here for accountability -- no, they weren't the polsters. they weren't the polsters. but first to trace gallagher in new york city for details. >> some are trying to sugar it by saying they weren't that off. of course in a presidential race, 3% is a boat load of votes and some key battle ground state polling averages were off by more than 3%. in fact wisconsin off by 7.5. ohio was off by 5%. michigan by just under 4. and pennsylvania was off by 3. but larry wasn't about to sugar coat his crystal ball. he called the polls an industry wide failure that's going to be quote studied up the wazoo. watch. >> we were wrong. okay? the entire punditry industry, entire polling industry, entire

analyst industry, and i want to use this opportunity to take my fair share of the blame. we were wrong. >> the american association for public opinion research agreed with the doctor but not everyone got it wrong. the usc "l.a. times" poll which was largely dismissed had been seeing a wave of trump support for months and for most of the summer and fall the "l.a. times" poll was giving trump about 6 points more than the polling averages. same poll also said trump's odds of winning will come down to how he mobilizes white voters especially white men. and interesting it found that trump voters, especially women, were less comfortable telling polsters they supported trump. the investors business daily tipp poll also predicted a trump victory. the man who runs that poll says despite democrats having more registered voters across the country, he thought gop turnout would be equal because there simile was more enthusiasm.

megyn? >> trank yohank you. chris stirewalt, politics editor and arnon mishkin, director of the fox news desk, the director is here. mr. director. in a line or two. what was it? why was this essentially missed? i realize that there is margin of error. skip that nonsense. what happened? >> i think what was missed was the implications of the poll. the polls, all the polls, i think, actually accurately provided information about the electorate and what was missed was maissed by analyst reading the poll numbers and saying, what does that mean? what was going on all season long since conventions, hillary clinton and most polls was floating at 45%. donald trump was floating at around 38 will to 40%. when donald trump didn't do well in three debates, when he got into a fight with miss universe, he would sink 3 or 4 points in that averages. and clinton didn't go up at all.

>> and what should that have told everyone? >> that should have told everybody that if you're not with hillary clinton now, what piece of information could you provide someone to get them to go with clinton? and if you ever tried to tell that to someone they tell you, you're doing trump spin. and i would argue that, the people who sort of were focused on the difference rather than focused on that clinton number were not doing -- they were doing trump spin because they were making people think that there's no doubt clinton will win and that, i think, dampened her turnout. >> was there in fact the shy trump voter? there was, wasn't there? >> there's always shy voters. >> but this was something a question going into last night. whether there was a shy trump voter the polsters weren't getting to and results proved the answer was yes. >> no. >> yes. >> no. >> yes. >> then there were shy obama voters in 2012. and shy clinton voters this time around too. >> untold story, this is rove earlier tonight. defection avoids to third party or failure to vote.

do you agree with that? >> i think the biggest story in the election of all is counties in upper midwest, pennsylvania, ohio, michigan, wisconsin, minnesota, that you had counties that had turn arounds of 20 points. you have people voting for br barack obama in 2012, turning around and voting, 20-point turn arounds in the counties. it is not that they were shy, they were there and available. we caught the vote. >> undecideds weren't undecided. that's what the write-up said today. secretly for trump and they didn't want to say it. >> i agree with that. >> aha! go ahead. >> i think the undecided voter, they decided one thing, they weren't voting for clinton. >> i agree. >> those are the shy trump voters. >> but every year, every four years, the problem that i have is that right now, larry, my dear friend, trace, everybody says, polls were a disaster. guess what, if the polls were a disaster this year? they were worse in 2012 because they missed it by a larger

margin. >> okay. we're fine with that too. >> i'm not sure they were so shy as much as they were very skeptical about clinton. aren't ready to vote for her. if you were in the middle and convinced that some of the stuff donald trump was saying was correct. but you had some skepticism about temperament issue pepts if conventional wisdom is there is no doubt clinton will win, a person like that has no trouble voting for trump to express their position. >> and they did. >> exactly. >> thank you. it's been a pleasure. last word of the night goes to a woman who spent the last 15 months fighting night and day for donald trump. she is live, next. cold symptom relief without raising your blood pressure. coricidin hbp.

long and hard fought race for the white house. our next guest has been on the broadcast for almost every step of the race. we wanted to fin wiish with kata pearson and richard fowler. kat, let's start with you. congratulations on what a win last night. i can only imagine what it was like for you watching with team trump. your thoughts on what voters were telling america yesterday. >> i think the voters unlike those inside the beltway saw the genius inside donald trump. he spoke directly to them, bypassed the media and bypassed all of the polsters and really talked to them about what was important to them. these voters have been out there, they've been frustrated because their health care premiums are going up. we have a health care, congress and elected firvels wofficials haven't been putting their

interests first. always special interests first. more for terrorist nations but not those that are here and hardworking. they know donald trump want it fight for them. i've been on this show many times and confident donald trump would be the next president of the united states and he was going to get mimonority vote an he did better than mitt romney in that area as well. >> he did slightly better. richard, did katrina just nail it? do you agree with anything she said? >> it is rare i agree with katrina, but i do. he add chad a conversation with american people. i think one thing the democrats with learn from this after 18 months of a crazy campaign, a lot of democrats are hurt. half of the country that donald trump will now have to run doesn't like him. but we have to learn as progressives and democrats is how to have conviction and argument. what i will give donald trump that i didn't think you saw from the clinton campaign and democrats is we waffled on issues that really affect our base. >> you think we chose the right

candidate? one who inspired demes? >> that's part of it. we picked a candidate we talked about over and over about raising minimum wage. hillary clinton changed how much minimum wage should be raised three times. instead of $15 an hour. point blank period. >> not only that but democrats were reluctant to nominate her. thinking serious about bernie and next time debate questions fed to her and dnc side was helping her win. katrina, 30 second left. i'll give you the last word. >> thank you. you were the first one to congratulate me on air once i had this appointment. i've been honored to serve mr. trump and his family on this journey because we are going to make america great again. >> you are very gracious. thanks for working with us throughout the primary season and election. thanks to both of you. we'll be right back. ...and those places keep changing every few months. the quicksilver card from capital one doesn't do any of that.
