he's named the top two positions on his team and his picks are ruffling feathers with insiders and outsiders alike. >> plus, during his campaign, donald trump promised to repeal obamacare, but is he softening his stance? the president-elect now says there are certain provisions he would consider keeping. >> and it all comes as nationwide demonstrations continue in the aftermath of last week's election. trump's former campaign manager is calling on president obama and hillary clinton to calm the streets. good morning to you, it is monday, november 14th, i'm betty nguyen alongside ali velshi and louis burgdorf. donald trump has selected the two men to lead his white house. rnc chairman reince priebus will be the new chief of staff, while

trump for president ceo steve bannon will serve as chief strategist. the statement announcing the hires said the two will be working as equal partners. priebus currently serving his third term as head of the republican party is a washington insider and close ally of house speaker paul ryan, while bannon has worked on the fringe of the conservative movement, leading breitbart news, which rejects multiculturalism in american life. the head of the antidefamation league commended the appointment of priebus, but marks a sad day when a man who presided over the premier website of the although-right is slated to be a senior staff member in the people's house. examples of the website's headlines under bannon including breitbart's call to hoist the confederate flag high and fly it

with pride two weeks after the shooting at a church in south carolina. racial slurs in the wake of last week's election, president-elect trump cast doubt on whether it was wide spread, but had a message for those who would harass their fellow americans. >> i am very surprised to hear that. i hate to hear that. i hate to hear that. >> you do hear it. >> i don't hear it. i saw one or two instances. >> on social media? >> i think it's a very small amount. >> do you want to say anything to those people? >> i would say don't do it, that's terrible, because i'm going to bring this country together. >> they are harassing latinos, muslims. >> i am so saddened to hear that, and i say stop it. if it helps. i will say this, and i'll say it right to the camera, stop it. >> it was a brutal year and a half on the campaign trail for donald trump, and in his first televised interview since last week's election, the president-elect told "60

minutes" he wishes it had just been a little bit different. >> it was a pretty nasty campaign. do you regret any of the things you said about her? >> well, it was a double side, they were tough and i was tough, and do i regret? i mean, i'm sitting here with you now, and we're going to do a great job for the country. we're going to make america great again. that's what -- it began with that and that's where we are right now. so many things -- >> no regrets? >> i can't regret. no. i wish it were softer, i wish it were nicer. i wish more it was in policy or whatever you want to say, but i will say that it really -- it really is something that i'm very proud of. >> well, as democrats seek a way forward, the president will phone members of the dnc this evening at 5:00 p.m. hillary clinton will phone white house democrats at the same time. the departure of debbie

wasserman shultz under the cloud of an e-mail hacking scandal has left a power vacuum at the top of the national party. howard dean, the former party chair, tweeted his interest to take back his old job as party chief. over the weekend, former presidential candidate, maryland governor martin o'malley said he had been approached by democrats in search of new leadership. in a tweet storm he posted, i'm taking a hard look at dnc chair because i know how badly we need to reform our nominating process, articulate a bold vision. but the nominating process is behind this man, keith ellison, who supported bernie sanders during the primaries. presumptive senate minority leader chuck schumer backs ellison and so does his predecessor, harry reid. elizabeth warren said ellison would make a terrific chair and picked up the backing of michael moore over the weekend, as well. plenty of soul searching to be done, particularly in places like luzerne county,

pennsylvania. the county hadn't voted republican since george h.w. bush in 1998, but this year it flipped to trump. voted twice for barack obama to shake up d.c. and who voted for trump this year for much the same reason. obama tried to do well and it didn't turn out how we thought. mr. trump should do better, she figures, by cracking down on undocumented immigration and holding up american values like hard work. she considers both men to be agents of change. as for the crude remarks mr. trump made, especially concerning women, she dismissed them as bragging and shock talk. over the weekend, bernie sanders wrote millions of americans registered a protest vote and trump won the white house because his campaign rhetoric successfully tapped into a very real and justified anger, an anger many traditional democrats feel.

i am saddened, but not surprised by the outcome. it is no shock to me that millions of people who voted for mr. trump did so because they are sick and tired of the economic, political, and media status quo. here's his wife on cnn friday. >> do you think your husband would have had a better chance of beating donald trump than hillary clinton did? >> absolutely. but it doesn't matter. the election is over. what he has to do now is use his influence and work with people across this country to affect the change that they would have voted for had he been on the ticket, and they did vote for in the primary. despite all the irregularity. >> by the way, joe and mika will talk about all of this with howard dean coming up on "morning joe." betty? protests against president-elect donald trump continued across the country over the weekend as the man they say isn't our president look to address the anger over his election.

here in new york city, demonstrators, including many immigrants, took to the streets to rally against mr. trump's campaign's support of deportations. thousands of protesters marched up the busy fifth avenue one day after an estimated 25,000 marched to trump tower. it was a similar scene in los angeles on saturday where an estimated 8,000 people marched through the streets, and in portland, oregon, hundreds gathered last night. the latest demonstration was much more peaceful, despite the presence of heavily armored police officers. meanwhile, donald trump's former campaign manager kellyanne conway says it's up to obama and secretary clinton to put a stop to the demonstrations and trump himself addressed the rallies against him during his interview with "60 minutes." >> if the shoe was on the other foot and hillary clinton had won, which is all the media were expecting, if not hoping for, then we know if there were protesters, two donald trump protesters somewhere, people would be freaking out that his

supporters were not accepting election results. it's time really for president obama and secretary clinton to say to these protesters, this man is our president. >> there are people, americans, who are scared and some of them are demonstrating right now, demonstrating against you, against your rhetoric. >> that's only because they don't know me. i really believe me. >> they listened to you in the campaign. >> i just don't think they know me. >> what do you think they are demonstrating against? >> well, i think in some cases you have professional protesters, and we had it if you look at wikileaks. >> you think those people down there are -- >> leslie -- >> professional? >> some of them will be professional. >> they are in every city. when they demonstrate against you and there are signs out there, i mean, don't you say to yourself, i guess you don't, you know, do i have to worry about this? do i have to go out and assuage them? do i have to tell them not to be

afraid? they are afraid. >> i would tell them, don't be afraid. >> after campaigning on a promise to repeal obamacare, president-elect donald trump says there are certain parts of the health care law he would consider keeping. trump signalled a willingness to preserve two important provisions following a discussion with president obama at the white house last week. >> obamacare is tough. health care is a tough situation. >> i bet he asked you not to undo it. >> no, he didn't ask me -- he told me, you know, the merits and the difficulties, and we understand that. >> are you going to make sure that people with preconditions are still covered? >> yes, because it happens to be one of the strongest assets. also with the children living with their parents for an extended period. >> you're going to keep that? >> very much try and keep that. adds cost, but it's very much something we're going to try and keep. >> and there's going to be a period if you repeal it and before you replace it when millions of people could lose --

>> we're going to do it simultaneously. it will be just fine. we're not going to have, like, a two-day period, we're not going to have a two-year period where there's nothing. it will be repealed and replaced and we'll know. it will be great health care for much less money. so, it will be better health care, much better, for less money. >> last wednesday, the day after election day, more than 100,000 people signed up for coverage under the affordable care act, according to the obama administration. that's the highest number since open enrollment began on november 1st. betty? >> a majority of americans accept president-elect donald trump as the winner of the presidential election last week. according to a new washington post/abc news poll conducted right after election day, 74% of all americans say they accept trump's election as legitimate. however, 33% of clinton supporters do not view trump's election as legitimate. at the same time, a gallup poll found 84% of americans found trump as a legitimate president, but 15% do not.

broken down among clinton voters, 23% do not accept trump. gallup noted when they asked the same question about george w. bush in december after the 2011 election, 83% of americans accepted bush as the legitimate president. president-elect donald trump says social media played a big role in his election victory, but in the "60 minutes" interview we've been showing you this morning, he promised to be more restrained as president. >> between, you know, facebook and twitter, and i guess instagram, i have 28 million people. 28 million people. >> so you are going to keep it up. >> it's a great form of communication. now, do i say i'll give it up entirely and throw out? that's a tremendous form -- i pick up -- i think i picked up yesterday 100,000 people. i'm not saying i love it, but it does get the word out. when you give me a bad story or when you give me an inaccurate story, or when somebody other than you and another network or whatever, because, of course,

cbs would never do a thing like that, right? i have a method of fighting back. that's very tough. >> but you're going to do that as president? >> i'm going to do very restrained, if i use it at all. i find it tremendous. it's a modern form of communication. there should be nothing you should be ashamed of. 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 are spending much more money than i spent. i spent my money, a lot of my money, and i won. i think that social media has more power than the money they spent, and i think maybe to a certain extent i proved that. still ahead, all the highlights from sunday night football. plus wildfires are raging across several southeastern states this morning, forcing dozens of communities to evacuate. we'll have the latest on the

welcome back, everyone, i'm betty nguyen alongside ali velshi and louis burgdorf. it's the bottom of the hour, so let's start with the morning's top stories. president-elect donald trump has elected his top two advisers in his white house. rnc chairman reince priebus will be the next chief of staff, while steve bannon will serve as chief strategist and senior counsel to the president. trump demoted new jersey governor chris christie and replacing him with vice president-elect mike pence. >> betty, a massive 7.8-magnitude earthquake rocked new zealand yesterday.

at least two people are dead and the prime minister warns the number could increase as rescuers push forward into isolated parts of the country. a tsunami and hult pl aftershocks have been felt. in colombia, a new peace agreement between the government and farc rebels, a modified version of the deal signed back in september that was surprisingly rejected by voters. opponents say the original was too lenient on the rebel group. the more than half century conflict has claimed more than 220,000 lives. let's get back to our top story. trump staffing up the white house. a lot of rumors flying around about who will take key cabinet jobs. over the weekend trump also announced several additions to his transition team, including his three eldest children. all vice presidents of the trump organization, they are slated to take over his business and also trump's son-in-law. elsewhere, eight lobbyists are serving on the trump transition

team, clashing with trump's outsider rhetoric on the campaign trail. >> your own transition team filled with lobbyists. >> only people you have down there. >> lobbyists from verizon, you have lobbyists from the oil and gas industry. >> everybody's a lobbyist down there. that's what they are. lobbyists of special interests. we're trying to clean up washington. >> how can you clean it -- >> look, everything down there, there are no people. they are all people that work -- that's the problem with the system. the system. right now, we're going to clean it up, we're having restrictions on foreign money coming in, we're going to put on term limits, which a lot of people aren't happy about, but we're putting on term limits. we're doing a lot of things to clean up the system, but everybody that works for government, they then leave government and become a lobbyist essentially. the whole place is one big lobbyist. >> you're basically saying you have to rely on them, even though you want to get rid of them. >> i'm saying that they know the system right now, but we're

going to phase that out. you have to phase it out. >> with the campaign behind him, president-elect trump is also speaking out about the future of american's southern border with mexico and the millions of undocumented people living within the united states. >> are you really going to build a wall? >> yes. >> they are talking about a fence in the republican congress. would you accept a fence? >> for certain areas i would, but certain areas a wall is more appropriate. i'm very good at this, it's called construction. >> part wall, part fence? >> it could be some fencing. >> what about the pledge to deport millions and millions of undocumented immigrants? >> what we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, we have a lot of these people. probably 2 million, could even be 3 million, we're getting them out of our country or going to incarcerate, but we're getting them out of our country. they are here illegally. after the border is secured and after everything gets

normalized, we're going to make a determination on the people that you're talking about, who are terrific people. >> america's president in waiting is about to learn the deepest, darkest secrets of u.s. intelligence, from drone strikes and special operations, to cia assets and the nation's nuclear codes. in "the washington post," bob woodward spells out the process as president-elect trump is briefed on his new far reaching powers as commander in chief. they are responsibilities so profound that eight years ago president-elect obama joked about jumping out the window when he was first granted access to this information. it includes information on special access programs, including covert air strikes and nsa intercepts overseas. he'll get details on u.s. payments to rebel groups, counterterrorism operations here and abroad, and cyber attacks ordered directly by the president. he'll get briefings about the wars against isis and the taliban, and finally, a briefing on the so-called nuclear football, including launch codes

and potential death tolls for targets. in some cases, over 100 million people. bob woodward, who will talk later on "morning joe," says previous presidents have almost recoiled at the prospect of having such tremendous and sometimes horrifying authority. louis? >> hillary clinton bid farewell to members of her campaign over the weekend, but on a conference call with donors, she laid some of the blame for donald trump's victory at the feet of fbi director james comey. clinton told the call that after the third debate they felt they had a, quote, real win at our back, quote, there are lots of reasons why an election like this is not successful, she reportedly said saturday, according to "the washington post," but our analysis is director comey's letter raised doubts that were groundless, baseless, proven to be, stopped our momentum. clinton went on to say his follow-up later that nothing was found changed the recommendation of not filing charges made matters worse and motivated

trump's voters. president-elect trump said for now he's focused on other priorities. >> are you going to ask for a special prosecutor to investigate hillary clinton over her e-mails, and are you, as you had said to her face, going to try to put her in jail? >> well, i'll tell you what i'm going to do. i'm going to think about it. >> you called her crooked hillary, said you wanted her in jail, people in your audiences kept saying lock her up. >> she did some bad things. . special prosecutor? >> i don't want to hurt them. i don't want to hurt them. they are good people. i don't want to hurt them. and i will give you a very, very good and definitive answer the next time we do "60 minutes" together. >> other assessments what went wrong for hillary clinton, including mark penn, who was

forced to resign. he writes in "the hill" that hillary clinton of 2000 would have beaten donald trump, saying that clinton's presidential campaign had tacked too far left, leaving out centrists, which had been the hallmark of her 2000 senate platform in new york. penn writes in part, "if the 2016 race teaches us anything, it is that a shift to the left will not bring in working class voters and rural and economically depressed areas. they think that such a shift would be a reversion to more government spending at their expense and not produce the jobs and prosperity that they need." well, at least four americans, including two service members, are dead after a man detonated a suicide vest inside bagram airfield in afghanistan early saturday. 16 u.s. service members and one polish soldier were also injured. the attack happened as people were getting ready for a post veterans day run. the ap reports the taliban claimed responsibility and the attack had been in the works for months. a senior military official tells nbc news the bomber chose the time and location because he

wanted to do the most damage. meanwhile, though, forces continue to make headway against isis in iraq. nbc news foreign correspondent matt bradley joins us live from erbil. iraqi forces have taken a city of nimrud, correct? >> reporter: correct. it's been four weeks to the day since the iraqi prime minister announced the beginning of the offensive to retake mosul. it's been under isis occupation for the past two and a half years. now, as you mentioned, they've already been going, everything has been going basically according to plan and just yesterday they retook this ancient city of nimrud. this city has some of the most important artifacts in the iraqi patrimony. 3,000-year-old pieces of art the islamic state has taken a mallet to. they showed themselves destroying some of these truly beautiful structures. the iraqi army hasn't been able to update us on the status of

the valuable, very important artifacts, but it really goes to show, betty, that civilians are not the only causality of this terrible war, but civilians have been a major obstacle for the iraqi military as they move into the eastern part of the city and try to move in further to the west into the older part of mosul. as i just mentioned, mosul is iraq kees second largest city and has about 1.2 million civilians and islamic state has been using them as human shields, bringing civilians from the outside of the city to bring them in so the u.s.-led coalition won't drop bombs on islamic state positions. it's going to be very difficult moving forward for the iraqi military to make sure they can get rid of isis without killing these civilians. betty? >> that is a sobering picture. nbc's matt bradley reporting from iraq, thank you. the controversial tpp deal lost all momentum on friday. the trade pack that would have bound the u.s. and asia essentially died when congress told the white house they will

no longer move forward with the deal now that the election is over. the obama administration has also acknowledged that the pact has no way forward. turning to business, where european stocks are opening to a rally this morning. last week asian markets are mixed, by the way. the news that japan's economy grew 2.2% year over year in the third quarter is influencing that. nancy hungerford joins us live from london. nancy, how long can we expect this european rally to go on? >> well, the big question mark is hanging around just exactly what additional details we will get from president-elect trump's economic policies, because the hopes of stimulus and what they means for a boost to inflation drove stocks on wall street higher on friday, in fact, it was the best week since 2011 for the dow jones. that's helping to boost european sentiment this morning. a bit of a mixed session with

better than expected japanese gdp. elsewhere in asia we should bring your attention to samsung, because samsung has agreed to buy u.s. firm harman for $8 million. harman is a leader in connected car technology, so this picks up that great race we've been watching among tech firms and automobile suppliers and manufacturers coming together as cars turn closer and closer to smartphones on wheels. and this is the largest deal we're seeing coming from the south korean firm overseas ever. elsewhere, i want to bring your attention to what's becoming a familiar story for a struggling retailer, american apparel. they have declared their second bankruptcy in just over a year, but good news for the firm is a canadian private equity company has agreed to buy the intellectual property rights and branding rights. they will not be buying the stores, but good news if you have american apparel on your christmas shopping list, the

company says they'll not have disruptions to the day to day business. back to you. >> nancy hungerford in london. betty? still ahead, the world pays tribute to leonard cohen, including on "snl." and can you believe it's been one year since the attacks in paris? the bataclan reopens as the city takes stock. as we go to break, a return of comedian dave chappelle. we'll play some of his monologue when we continue this monday morning. >> why do we have to say that? why do we have to say that black lives matter? now, i admit that is not the best slogan, but mcdonald's already took "you deserve a break today."
