welcome to the dawn of a new republican government. >> all i want to do is curl up with a good book. >> this is my final trip overseas. >> we didn't do our part to stop the spread of misinformation. ?? good morning, welcome to "sunday today." i'm willie geist. president-elect trump has spent the past few days filling in his cabinet. he met with mitt romney, who was a harsh critic, this amid new questions about trump's business entanglements. also up early and on

"hamilton." later a man we haven't heard from much lately, michael stipe. he's talking about the early days of r.e.m., and the song that changed everything for them. >> i couldn't go anywhere for -- after that song became the huge hit single it became. >> more with michael stipe, plu hager. let's begin with president-elect trump. he was up before the sun this morning tweeting more insults about the broadway hit show "hamilton" two days after a member of the cast read a statement from the stage to vice president mike pence, who was in the audience. kelley o'donnell is near the team in bridgewater, new jersey with the later. good morning. >> reporter: apparently the

issue. he has a busy day ahead. as he as his future vice president are working behind the scenes to fill a number of administration jobs. the most anticipated guest to arrive saturday at donald trump's golf resort. mitt romney, the insult war between him and trump now over, they met for more than an hour. when they emerged, handshakes, >> it went great. >> the topics romney told the reporters about seemed to fit the department of state. >> we had a far-reaching conversation with regards to the varies theaters in the world. >> reporter: whether romney is offered a role is or not is sun clear, but he appeared to be on good terms. >> i look forward to the coming administrations and the things they will be doing.

>> great man. >> retear marine general james mattis, wore the uniform 44 years. he's under seniors consideration for a role, including defense secretary. >> a brilliant man with a great deal, we'll see what happens, but he's the real deal. it let to a series of front step a range of potential cabinet picks, including former d.c. schools chief and democrat michelle rhee, robert woodson, under consideration for housing and urban development. >> very well. >> reporter: nine different meetings during a busy day, trump also found time for a war of words on twitter, with a broadway actor who called out mike pence at "hamilton." >> we are the diversion america, who are alarmed and anxious that

protect us. >> reporter: his last tweet calling the actor very rude. that tweet was quickly deleted. to the press trump sounded more presidential. >> we're seeing tremendous talent. >> reporter: and the president-elect told me he expects there could be some decisions as early as today. when i shouted a question to him about that. again this morning he's still asking for the "hamilton" cast tweeted, quote, a number of twoits are coming today for additional meetings. they include new jersey governor chris christie, former mare yor rudolph yule yanni, and b.e.t. founder. we have the co-author of the books that defined the 2008 and 2012 campaigns. >> how is it going?

and the meeting yesterday. i can't tell you how many republicans and even democrats saying, yes, let the mitt romney thing be true, maybe a symbol of stability inside this transition team. is it real or donald trump signaling to people that i'm talking to the right people? >> it could be both. for sure there's a signaling things going on, there's a variety of things to try to signal. that doesn't necessarily mean that it will happen, but seniors consideration on the part of the trump team. i think there's questions whether romney will take the job, though mice sense in the romney world sources tell me if it were offered with the right conversations, he probably would take it. >> at the seems he would want to control his lane, but you're dealing with someone that likes to control all the lanes. can they work together?

that gives mitt romney -- but dealing with this other array of people who have been in charge. michael flynn may be the central figure, head of the national security council, maybe the central figure, and romney and flynn are very different cats. could they work with trump and the rest of the team that trump is assembling? part of the reason you're hearing from republicans like you're hearing, not just stability in the team, but could he be a moderating force on what seems to be shaping up as a hard-line team. >> michael flynn, questions about his relationship with russia, and what he said about muslims. steve bannon, jeff sessions, mike pompeo. as you look at that group in total, what do you see? >> i see a really group of old white men.

groups that now in the country are most concerned about what we're seeing -- is the vast mills onof nonwhile americans, that are looking at the group, because if you take those people together -- bannon, flynn and sessions -- all three of them have a history of being involved at a minimum racially insensitive endeavors, and to some people worse than that. so part of the thing here is i think that's unsettling to a large number of will take us to that conversation about "hamilton." that's a hard-line group, on immigration, on foreign policy, apart from reince priebus, who is the only obvious pragmatist group, that's an idealist group. president-elect trump was up earlier this morning tweeting about "hamilton." he pointed out that many people

thinks the cast should apologize for the way they treated vice president pence. this is what he tweeted -- i mean, we've gotten used to this, seen it during the primary, but he's the president-elect. is this how he's going to conduct himself in office? >> i hope not. i personally think it's a bad idea to boo mike pence as an audience member. he should be welcomed in the theater. i think a conservative going into a p reaching out in some ways to a part of the world that was opposed to donald trump. i think that that was rude on the part of the audience members to boo hem. for an actor to read a respectful statement, that doesn't qualify as harassment. even if it was harassment, we have a first amendment in this country. so to have the president-elect demanding apologies from people who are respectfully raising

administration is -- that's where we're headed. that's going to be a very ugly thing. there will be a lot of people in this country raising concerns and more criticiing the administration. trump will have to learn to live that with. >> he tweeted a tweet yesterday, but back up and doing it again this morning. thank you. >> good to be here. some say that fake news stories that circulated on facebook are at least partly to blame. facebook founder said that wasn't a problem, but now he's changing that position. jo ling kent has the story. we can work to give people a voice, but we also need to do our part to stop the spread of hate and violence and misinformation. >> reporter: misinformation some believe may have affected the presidential race, zuckerberg changing his tone from his initial response in the

>> the idea in a fake news on facebook of which it's a very small amount of the content influenced the election in any way i think is a pretty crazy idea. >> reporter: now the 32-year-old founder and ceo changing his tone about the issue, writing in a new post, we've been working on this problem for a long time, and we take this responsibility seriously. in an usual move, zuckerberg detailed facebook's plans to crack d say the company will improve misinformation detection, making flailinging earlier, yew third-party fact checking, and potentially label stories as false. the new strategies cusp as a buzzfeed news investigation found that fake news on facebook generated more clicks and comments compared to stories from traditional outlets, but social media experts say

be enough. >> ultimately we have to move past the band-aid solutions i think to a greater reenvisioning of what facebook is. >> reporter: zuckerberg admits not all their fixes will work, but he says his 'committed to getting this right. for pseudopseudo, jo ling kent in new york. more than is 00 people were killed when a passenger train derailed torches to cut there are the wreckage. authorities fear the death toll will rise. president obama is meeting with the leaders of australia and canada at a summit in peru. on saturday he tried to reassure world leaderses, and not to jump to conclusions about president-elect trump. >> as i've always said, how you campaign isn't always the same
