days? donald trump set to take our nation's highest office. and good morning, america. the election results are settling in. the transition of power has begun and overnight thousands of marchers in several cities took the streets to protest donald trump's victory. >> some of the protests were violent but many, many stayed peaceful. some demonstrators carrying this sign. we did trumps hate. and here in new york, an artist started this wall, calling it subway therapy. well, people had a chance to write notes or whatever they felt. it's a very nice note that says stay united and hopeful. >> that was the message of president obama as well, and he invited donald trump to meet him in the oval office this morning.

benitez outside trump tower with more on the protests overnight. good morning, gio. >> reporter: good morning, good morning to you. in so many way these are protests fueled by social media and don't expect them to die down any time soon because right now the number one trend on twitter is that #trumpprotests. [ chanting ] >> reporter: overnight protests across the country turning violent in the early morning hours. as thousands of protesters from new york to los angeles gathered in the streets to protest the election of donald trump. police in oakland used tear gas to keep the crowd of nearly 7,000 at bay. major freeways in los angeles shut down. as crowds burned effigies of trump and marched on city hall. [ chanting ]

flocking to trump-owned properties in new york. there's such anger here right in front of donald trump's home they're chanting this is what democracy looks like from the ballot box to the streets of new york, these people are letting their voices be heard. more than 10,000 gathered throughout the city, crowds blocking traffic, chanting, screaming. expressing their frustration, some climbing scaffolding and street signs to protest above the crowd. >> we're just people who are here who love this country as much as any other person. >> reporter: at least 120 protesters arrested nationwide overnight. and we should tell you the president-elect has not yet commented on these protests, but after being here overnight i got to tell you these protests were just so loud you could hear it for blocks. it's hard to imagine how anyone here got much sleep, robin. >> we did hear it loud and clear and the transition to the new admission begins this morning. president-elect donald trump meeting with president obama and his wife meeting with the first lady.

good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, robin. today at the white house is not only the beginning of the transition from the obama administration to the trump administration, but it is also the first ever face to face meeting between barack obama and donald trump. the president going out and the one coming in both say they want a peaceful and orderly transition. >> it is time for us to come together as one united people. >> we are now all rooting for his success in uniting and leading the country. >> reporter: but american politics has seen few enemies as bitterly opposed as these two. >> he's been perhaps the worst president in the history of the united states. >> donald trump is

whether president obama was an american citizen and a legitimate president. five years later trump finally retracted his comments, but he didn't apologize. donald trump will take power in january with his party firmly in control of congress too. >> this is the most incredible political feat i have seen in my lifetime. we are going to hit the ground running. >> reporter: at the center of trump's agenda,undoing much of the obama legacy, beginning with the president's signature legislative accomplishment, the affordable care act. >> we'll get rid of that. >> reporter: trump will look to make an immedi supreme court. replacing obama's long stalled nominee with one of his own. >> i'm also going to appoint great supreme court justices, so important. >> reporter: and of course, he has got a big promise to keep on border security. [ crowd chanting "build that wall" ] >> reporter: and of course a big promise to keep on border security. and as you mentioned, robin, melania trump will be here with

if tradition holds they will meet in the residence over tea. >> jon, what are you hearing about what a trump cabinet may look like? >> reporter: well, it's early but we can expect that some of those who stood loyally by donald trump through his campaign will be in the trump cabinet. some possible names would include people like rudy giuliani, jeff sessions, the senator who was the first in congress, significant figure to support him. newt gingrich, another possibility. michael flynn, the retired army general, and maybe even the chairman of the rnc who was there with him through it all, reince priebus. >> we'll move on to hillary clinton. she had a difficult task yesterday and she carried it off with grace and conviction conceding to donald trump comforting her supporters. abc's cecilia vega was there for every step of the clinton campaign. she joins us now. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: good morning. she was surrounded by her family, her top aides, hundreds of staffers, so many of them in tears. this was an emotional good-bye and chance for hillary clinton to speak directly to all of

historic campaign. hillary clinton ending her fight for the white house and quite possibly her political career. >> this is painleful, and it will be for a long time. >> reporter: an emotional concession in a manhattan hotel. >> this loss hurts, but please never stop believing that fighting for what's right is worth it. [ applause ] >> reporter: the emotion overwhelming for many in the clinton, and clinton's closest aide, huma abedin. >> to all the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams. >> reporter: clinton delivering a message of reconciliation. >> donald trump is going to be our president.

>> reporter: to them, she offered encouragement and urged perseverance. >> i know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but someday, someone will. i want you to know that nothing has made me prouder than to be your champion. >> reporter: ending with hugs and thanks for so many in that room. and former president george w. bush called clinton after that speech to thank her for her she is now back home in chappaqua. her aides are not revealing what comes next, and george, as you know, clinton herself may not know the answer to that. >> she really didn't think about it as we talked about before. they really believed coming into the final week going into the final hours before the election they had this won. that's what all their internal polling showed. what are they telling you since then? >> reporter: they are still not talking, george. i was in that room yesterday

they are shell-shocked at this point. she had champagne on flight, final campaign flight. that shows you how they thought they had this in the bag. every source i talked to over the last year and a half said this would be a tight race at the very end. no one inside the clinton campaign thought donald trump would be the president. >> no, and especially in the two big state, wisconsin and pennsylvania, they thought they had solid leads. >> and people -- i'm assuming they will say at some point, their base did not come out to vote. >> we saw a big reaction on wall street as the election results started to come in. stocks plugged, but then rebounded to a near record high on wednesday and rebecca jarvis is at the new york stock exchange. what is going on here? >> reporter: good morning, that's what everybody is asking because all of the experts expected a major sell-off after these election results instead what we got, the day after the election, was a huge gain for stocks, the dow ended up the day after election day 257 points

the night before. after those results were coming in, now we're in striking distance of hitting an all-time record high for the dow so what's really happening here? well, investors are still digesting the reality that now we have a new president-elect donald trump. what came out of donald trump's speech on election night was infrastructure. he talked about his commitment to spending on that. that's where we have seen a number of stock gains. we've also seen stock spending, in defense type -- in defense-type companies because of donald trump talking about investments in the military and wanting to invest there. the big things here on wall street's mind are less regulation, lower taxes, but, of course, there's still the question about trade, that could impact things going forward, as well, michael. >> thank you, rebecca. now let's bring in abc's matt crowd and cokie roberts. and matt, it seems like the

wrong, too. >> the experts have been wrong a lot along the way. join the group in this. i think when you look at the market as rebecca knows this full well, the market likes predictability. i think every speech that came out starting with donald trump to hillary clinton to barack obama's speech is a calming influence on this election. the market likes that. but i think ultimately the market just like the voters are going to look at what donald trump does instead of what he says. >> that's what i wanted to ask about. what's unpredictable is what he is going to do. you worked with president bush, in a similar situation, he came to the white house even though he lost the popular vote and said he had a mandate. such a jumble of different kinds of policies inside donald trump's campaign. does he go through with things like the immigration building the wall or reach out with republicans and pretty much pass their agenda? >> i think he's in a more unique situation than george bush was. donald trump won more electoral votes than any republican since 1988 and lost the popular vote by a bigger -- he will lose the popular vote by a bigger margin than george w. bush lost and win

i think what you see in the first 100 days is a series of things. they call the fruit. and he'll nom fate a supreme court justice that appeals to the conservative right and do a series of quick things that appeal to the conservative right and if my expectations are right, he's going to go negotiate with congress on things they can all agree to, infrastructure spending and maybe even on the tax code and i think he is going to do both simultaneously. the signals are who he starts nominating those key positions. that will tell us a lot. >> a lot of people are anxious to hear those names. let's bring in cokie roberts. she made it home to washington. good for to you to be here. an important part is preparing the president-elect to be commander in chief. what do you know along those lines? >> again, it remains a mystery. one of the things that's so interesting about this transition is there's no old washington hand here. you know, that's what we're used

both bushes to some degree, and some who has been here, who knows the players. there are 4,000 political appointees that have to be named. 1,000 of those have to get senate confirmation. there's an enormous amount of work to be done. and at the commander in chief level, we know that donald trump had the backing of a lot of people in the military. he had generals behind all of that, but we have not a clue what his real intentions are there and i suspect he doesn't either. >> and jon karl, we talked about the cabinet. one possible washington hand would be the former speaker of the house newt gingrich but take us inside that meeting with president obama and donald trump today. probably won't get into a lot of substance but we do know that donald trump wants to undo and right away a lot of president obama's accomplishments. >> and he can undo a lot because

some of the big ones on the environment, climate change, those things can be done really with a signature of a president trump. also, i would expect because republicans have been talking about it so much for so long, and if they pass, and i expect they will, all or parts of obamacare, this president, president trump will certainly sign that into law so there's a lotta can be undone immediately ba >> of course, a lot of the focus will be on the meeting between those two men, but, cokie roberts, we also know melania trump will be meeting with the first lady. how do you expect that to go? >> i think that's a much easier meeting. this is basically two gracious people. michelle obama could not be more understanding of what it's like to move into that white house with a child. laura bush was very helpful to her, and i know she will be very helpful to melania trump.

there's nothing comfortable about it. but it's much easier for two moms to joke about a kid and talk about, you know, schools, that kind of thing than it is for the two men. >> matt dowd, we saw these protests overnight. donald trump in his first speech his very gracious salespeople talked about binding the wounds of the nation. what more do you see him doing to address the majority who voted against him and those protesters? >> well, i think he's -- it's more than just him and i think it would be great if he keeps the calming words that he'got going and i think he needs to supporters who say, listen, we're in this together. i think this is going to sort of -- it's going to stay what it is, but watch for the january 20th inauguration. i wouldn't be surprised if this protest culminates in something we've never seen in a presidential inauguration. >> we will be watching. okay, matt dowd, thanks very much. amy is here's with other top stories. >> that's right, good morning. details still coming in but we are told two police officers have been shot responding to a domestic call in a small town of

the hospital. no word yet on their conditions or the circumstances surrounding the shooting but a search is now under way for the suspect. we will bring you more details as we get them. in the meantime, general motors is planning to lay off more than 2,000 workers at its car factories in ohio and michigan. the company blames the shifting demand in auto industry with consumer demanding for trucks instead of cars. two fighter jets collided on a training mission in san diego. one was able to land safely. the other bailed out and rescued from the pacific ocean about an hour later. more charges are expected against a suspected serial killer in south carolina. following another gruesome discovery. the bodies of a husband and wife missing for nearly a year have now been identified. they were found on real estate agent, todd kohlhepp's farm. he has now been linked to five

and near buffalo, new york, a massive fire, look at that destroyed this former steel plant. the flames causing the roof to collapse. investigators believe a hot lightbulb dropping onto some cardboard started that massive fire. and another fire leading to a daring rescue. this worker in logan, utah, trapped inside a cherry picker after a transformer exploded, sent flames climbing up that pole. a second truck was brought in, and the worker thankfully was pulled to safety. and finally, all those people who said they were moving to canada if donald trump was elected, well, guess what, they have a cheaper way to get there. spirit airlines is out wit go north sale promising 75% off flights. there is a slight catch, spirit will fly you to upstate new york then it's up to you to make what the airline calls a short drive to the border right there at niagara falls. so this follows the canadian immigration website crashing after the election so they're capitalizing on that. what an american thing to do. >> amy talked a lot about fires and fires down south.

this is atlanta, georgia. the skyline that you can barely see through the smoke and haze. this is what the folks of the southeast are dealing with. thanks to those fires. look at the fires in north carolina. now there are dozens on the map and these are places that haven't had rain in more than a month in some place, more than a month and a half in other spots. this is fascinating. no large wildfires in california. most of the large wildfires from ohio down through mississippi especially in north georgia, parts of south carolina, western north carolina. this is a shift in where that fruition. on top of all of this, the numbers as far as high temperatures go, we're breaking records across much of the nation. jet stream parked up north. you'll see a lot more of this because there's not a lot of rain in the forecast. your local weather in just 30 seconds, but first though, the sunny cities brought to you by sfrint. .

"us ...awwwwesome! for the millions who are disappointed for hillary, remember, america has a special place for people who lose. ironically it's the cast of "celebrity apprentice." >> okay, conan o'brien, that was a pretty good one. autolate night comics had to bringing messages of humor and healing as well after that upset. >> you knew they were not going to hold back. no, no, no. overnight, thousands of anti-trump protesters took to the streets, demonstrations erupting in cities coast to coast, some of them turned violent but many stayed peaceful as both sides of the aisle call for unity. and the president-elect heading to washington to meet president obama in the oval office. they're working toward a peaceful transition of power and while they meet, melania trump will sit down with first lady michelle obama. also this morning, a big

prince harry is back in the spotlight, amy. >> that's right. we all remember kensington palace acknowledging his relationship with the american actress, meghan markel. they were very upset about how the media treated her. we'll see him for the first time today. we'll have much more on that coming up. >> where are we going to see him? >> we're going to find out. >> a tease. move on now to more from presidt- he is unprecedented in so many ways, including a number of active lawsuits and business conflicts that trail him to the white house. brian ross here with the details. the most high-profile trial has a key hearing today. >> that's right, george, good morning, while the president-elect begins to make his plans to run the country his lawyers in court today in san diego dealing with one of the dozens of active lawsuits against him involving allegations of fraud, sexual harassment and failure to pay

>> reporter: today's hearing involves one of the three lawsuits over trump university. >> success, it's going to happ to you. >> reporter: students who paid a $35,000 fee claim that now president-elect committed fraud when he falsely told them he had personally selected the faculty. the actual trial is set to begin at the end of the month presided over by the san diego federal judge trump accused during the campaign of bias because he is of mexican heritage. >> he's a hater. his name is he is not doing the right thing. >> reporter: in addition to the trump university case -- >> can you raise your right hand? >> yes. >> reporter: -- there are at least 30 other significant cases in which the president-elect is being sued or suing for issues that happened before he was elected. >> the rule is that there's no immunity from suit for anything that happened before. >> reporter: and during the

candidate threatened to bring his own set of lawsuits against the women who claimed he had sexually assaulted them. their lawyer says, bring it on. right now, they have no present intention to sue him first. >> but if he sues them, we will defend them vigorously. >> reporter: trump's business interests may also create conflicts for the soon-to-be president. in the midst of the camp took time off to promote his brand with the trip to his golf course in scotland and later opening a new hotel in washington. trump has had extensive ties with several russian oligarchs close to vladimir putin. he and his children have sought investments with controversial overseas figures. and ethics experts say his plan to let his children run his business empire as though it were a blind trust is not blind at all.

irs. mr. trump has said his tax returns are being audited by the irs. as president trump will elect and select the new head of the agency even as his employees are poring over how he avoided paying any federal income tax at all over the last two decades. >> a lot of different issues raised there. let's bring in dan abrams for more on this. let's start out with the lawsuit in court today. likely a lot of pressure on mr. trump to settle this. >> that's right because, remember, actually be in court for a civil case. but when he's deposed or he has to testify he has to show up. and there is precedent for this. remember, this happened with the paula jones lawsuit and bill clinton case. the u.s. supreme court actually weighed in on this. and said a sitting president is not immune from a civil lawsuit. >> likely settlement. >> correct but the court specifically said, the courts have to work around the scheduling aspects of a president, so there is a

because the scheduling would be so hard, let's postpone this. let's delay this, but i think there is going to be a lot of pressure to continue this. but donald trump would only need to be there when he is testifying. >> that's the distraction issue. if he takes the risk of going to trial and be convicted that could be an impeachable offense. >> no, they're only for something you do while you're president so you can't impeach someone for stuff that they did before they became president. so if he is president an something happens that's a different story from something that happened before he became president. >> and these issues of conflict of interest. >> these are also civil. most of them. we have to be careful in distinguishing between civil and criminal although there are some criminal investigations as well. >> on the issue of his business, the president isn't bound by any conflict of interest laws. >> just more considered an ethical code that has been adhered to, but, boy, a lot of questions to be asked when you talk about his family taking over his businesses as to what

going to have that with that business and what relationship that has with the government. >> thanks very much. over to michael. >> all right, george. coming up on our big board, donald trump's election surprise. so many of the polls will guide him wrong except for one. what their secret was. and actor and trump supporter, stephen baldwin is here. his brother, famously plays trump on "snl." he's going to tell us how their family is dealing with their different political views and how yours can too. we'll be back with that in just two minutes. look at our panel.

you brush your teeth diligently... two times a day right? but 80% of bacteria aren't even on teeth. eughty purschunt?! colgate total's different. it fights bacteria on teeth, tongue, cheeks and gums. protecting 100% of your mouth's surfaces. colgate total for whole mouth health. my dad gave me those shares, he ran that company. i get it. but you know i think you own too much. gotta manage your risk. an honest opinion

time now for the big board. our team of insiders standing by to weigh in live. we have speechb bald -- stephen baldwin here at the table, and we'll talk to you in a minute. but we begin with the pollsters, the fallout from the election and the election stunner, just about every poll got it wrong except for the usc/"l.a. times" poll. which pretty consistently had trump in the lead. you took a lot of criticism for months. what did you see that others

>> we did take a lot of criticism, and on the whole, we're pretty happy with how our poll performed. one big difference between the way we do our poll and how others did is the fact that we work with panel of members over time. so that's pretty much the same people over the course of an election. while other pollsters may talk to different people each time. and in an election season when many people may have felt shy choice, this allowed us to build trust with our panelists and i think that it allowed us to see the entire spectrum of the vote. >> now, even though your results, you were one of the few that did get it right, were you surprised so many other people got it wrong? >> well, this was a very difficult election to poll in. and a big difference, another big difference between the way that we do our polling and how others do is that rather than asking a traditional up and down question of how did -- how would

pedal today, we asked people to give us the percent likelihood that they will vote for a candidate. and this is sort of gives us sort of a fever chart or a look into the intensity of the vote. so perhaps someone may be a 100% clinton supporter one week and then the comey fbi e-mails break and they're 75% clinton supporter the next week. and -- sorry. >> no, no, no. i'm just maybe it's a new way to conduct the polls in this is something. you made your bones on this one. thank you very much. >> thank you, jill. we move on now to the best way to deal with the end of the election. some voters are overjoyed while others are a little disappointed and now some doctors are talking about post-election stress disorder and clinical psychologist dr. elizabeth lombardo is here with us and, okay, dr. lombardo, is this a real thing? >> post-election stress disorder is a real phenomenon that a lot of people are experiencing right now, and it comes out in

maybe in your mood, you notice yourself filing more irritable or angry, or worried or helpleshelple helpless. it can come out in your body with headaches, and g.i. distress, and inability to sleep and maybe you ha it can affect your relationships because when you're feeling irritable we tend to take it out on our loved ones and perpetuates the stress cycle? how should people deal with it? >> the first thing to do limit your social media. there's something called a filter bubble which means that the people who have the similar lines for you are at the top of your feed. so if you're a disappointed clinton supporter going to facebook may be filled with a lot of helplessness and sadness which unfortunately supports the problem as opposed to the solution. secondly, focus on what you want as opposed to what you don't want. and third of all, volunteer. help out someone else so it will

>> finally sit in front of a nice fire with a good book. we like your fire there. >> thank you. we're going to talk to stephen baldwin now, and, stephen, hillary clinton -- >> you're clapping. >> that was so wonderful. >> she said -- >> talk about your post-election stress disorder. okay? i keep having this nightmare every saturday night. i don't know why that my big brother is picking on mr. trump. >> well, he actually responded in his show. take a look at this. >> she can brag about her resume but i'm the one who's got all the heavy hitters supporting me. i mean, i have got the cream of the crop. i've got sarah palin. i've got chachi. and get this, i've even got the best baldwin brother, stephen baldwin. >> but, you know, you were out there and one of the few actors out there to support donald trump. you and scott -- >> me and scott baio, baby. that's it. go ahead. >> no, were the voters rejecting

hollywood? >> i had a fun conversation with alec a couple of weeks back where literally we were at his house at home with the kids floating in the swimming pool having a good time. he said, so your boy's basically kind of handing us this election, don't you think? and i went, i got a funny feeling you need to be more prepared for a trump president than i do a hillary president. you know, and the thing that is so overwhelming for me this morning is i stayed at mr. trump's hotel last night with all those protesters outside. and it really freaked me out, you know, because i can be all happy or excited about the outcome, but then it was like a wave of reality to say, like, there's folks out there that still don't agree with all this and this is what makes the country so amazing is right now we, the people, all of us have an amazing opportunity to demonstrate the greatness of our freedom and our vote and our

best to try to pay it forward and do the right thing and just say, if you agree or not, the cool thing to do is really give mr. trump the opportunity. it's difficult. i saw a lot of young people out there that you could see it was a lot of messaging from the media that was driving their anger and this and that. and i'm just going to be praying that everybody comes together and really gives mr. trump an opportunity to do the right thing and create even those people who doubted him. >> but you said you were at the hotel last night. you were at the victory party. >> sure. >> the other night. what was it behind the scenes there? how was it? >> i think people were just as shocked as a lot of people who didn't vote for mr. trump, but this is what's cool. >> before the mood seemed a little docile. >> it was -- >> amy robach was there. it was, like, very quiet, and then all of a sudden, the mood

happi happier. >> once florida came in and cutting to headquarters for mrs. clinton and headquarters from -- and this is just -- it's an anomaly. we've never seen this before. this type of a victory. rand paul said something two days ago that was amazing. he said euric, you know, you got your east coast with the wall street, your west coast with the hollywood folks, and now you got a whole a lot of people in between all that that just demonstrated how they're feeling. and for me it's like i said last night as much as i wanted to go out and say to a bunch of young people, hey, stop, everybody, can't we all just get along, i realized that i have to respect those people. i have to respect them. >> both president obama and hillary clinton yesterday echoed what you were saying, they were saying give president-elect trump a chance. what do you think he should do to address those protests and that pain? >> listen. i think starting with this network and every other network, it's important that we focus on

so it hit me last year when we took ross to see a show and made the decision that i would not speak in prose and it inspired these rhymes and make you think of dr. seuss but lin-manuel miranda is where i got my muse, he wrote alexander hamilton's our founding father's anthem so i decided to write my own song i wrote my own tribute to the tandem and i guess the spot went well. i'm now on "gma" and i'm not going to throw away my shot because this is going to be their day so -- >> all right. >> thank you, thank you. >> i did not see that coming. >> me neither. >> he stood up and i was like, security. i have a question, though. everybody is wondering how long did it take to come up with that? >> so, it took -- so it was really inspired when i saw "hamilton" last year. i saw it last october and jenna and ross got -- he proposed a few weeks prior and in my family we have this whole

at big events and i lost my ability to sing a long, long time ago so i thought, right when i saw "hamilton" it ended, the song i did and i literally turned to my nom and said, you know what, this is not my mother, but i said, i said, i know exactly what i'm doing at their wedding, because i knew i could put on a huge show and i knew i could do something that was truly unforgettable for that big day and i didn't have to sing a note so it was great. >> yeah. >> i'm sure it was a big hit. i'm sure everybody enjoyed it. >> yeah, it went over pretty well. two of my bosses are actually in the crowd so i wanted to make sure i didn't screw up. the look on their faces -- >> you did great. >> i'm sure -- >> you knocked it out of the box. >> he did. >> congratulations to you and your sister. >> right there a man who could nail a job interview. no question about that. but all of us have had some tough ones, right? >> ooh. >> job interviews. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well, wow, that was a lot of yeahs right there.

>> you can relax, a friend of mine just wrote an article saying job interviews are useless. >> they are? >> he's right. you like that idea right there. and here's why, he says, they've done a lot of studies that show when you compare tests, aptitude tests or intelligence tests, the tests are a much better predictor but people who do the interviews don't believe it. everybody think when we're doing the interviewing for the job we do a better job. turns out what is happening you just confirm what you already sort of believed going in your first impression as oppose to really paying attention to the skills. >> and to the calls that they bring to the table. >> you can relax. no more interviews, guys. >> you heard it from george. >> do you remember your worst interview? >> oh, gosh, i don't want to relive it, please. i just remember i had this hideous blue shirt and white little crisp shirt. >> i remember panicking for one, a job i really, really wanted but it was in a different city and i had one of those days where the planes were late, sitting on the tarmac and completely missed the interview. didn't matter there either.
