>> he seems so well-known now, i wonder if that helps him or distracts him. >> people are running from him. that tells you, like repel ant, get away. >> then our elvis brought along the newest artist of the month. parson james stole the show, has nearly 200 million views, he will sing it for us a little later. >> all in the presentation when you prepare your thanksgiving how to make a feast for the eyes just like the pros. i wonder if any needs words of wisdom today? >> yes. but i fear i will fall asleep when i close my eyes. >> in every community there is work to be done. in every nation there are wounds to heal. in every heart, is there the power to do it. marianne williamson. i was actually spending a lot of time looking for today's quote.

>> under the circumstances. last night was a shocker for most of the people, most of the pundits. some people went to bed at 9:00 just because and woke up to see the results, others like you and me were up all night. >> i intended to go to bed but laying there with the pupies and one eye looking up. the more it was evolving, i'm going what? what? and announced that donald trump had won, then my phone started going crazy from people. >> so, here are the papers. the "new york times" title is trump triumphs, i think the same for the "washington post" as well. >> the "new york post," president trump. >> just because "the daily news" does its thing and new york is full of personality, they put on the headline the house of

>> and how you voted. i tried to tweet something today, innocuous and inclusive as i possibly could and still got nasty reaction from it. cracks you up. >> i think everybody -- this was such a personal election for so many people and you could tell in the reaction when the results came in, there were cheers and roars and almost disbelief from people in the trump camp and from the clinton camp, there were tears and kind of that sort ofst trump gave his victory speech around -- i thought it was 3:00 on the east coast. maybe it was 2:00. i couldn't keep track of the time, i was eating oreos and to stid does with lots of dip. >> you said you just went through it! >> this is a look at his speech. >> to all republicans and democrats and independents across this nation, i say, it is

one united people. it's time. i pledge to every citizen of our land that i will be president for all americans, and this is so important to me. for those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, reaching out to you, for your guidance and your help, so that we can work together and unify our great country. >> yeah. you know what, i was thinking this is probably the least stressed he will be for the next four years, right after you win, when everything is possible, i think the country is hoing that everybody does come together because i don't think any's ever seen such nation divided as we have through this.

>> everybody feels for a little baron, 10 years old, what a beautiful little boy. it's 3:00 now. he's exhausted. you just know he is. >> secretary clinton decided -- chose not to give a concession speech last night and it will be coming up, depending on your time zone, shortly. last night's election was one of the things that took over all of social media, said in the last 24 hours alone, there were 40 million tweets that shattered the numbers from four years ago. >> since last august there have been 1 billion tweets about the election and more than that spent on it. >> the thing that's important for people because there are families who have family members who voted one way or the other and everyone is coming together and there is thanksgiving and friends and lives. any who's scared, there are people who are scared when trump was elected.

cleans up and she was crying and i was trying to hug anybody who is afraid. i said, don't you be afraid. i think people need reassurance. if there is somebody you feel like is afraid or scared or worried, just give them a hug. you can do that and you can make someone feel a little bit better. >> that's what you did. >> why don't you hug me? yes, i love hue. >> love you, too. >> a lot of people were believing the glassli pundits are saying america wasn't ready for a female president. i don't agree with that at all. >> i think there are some people who say, i think because it was again so divisive and people felt so viscerally about hillary clinton and you wonder how much her being a woman played, there have been pundits who say, look, there are certain people who

that. i have to be honest, i really don't. for me, this election and the country is about the direction the nation is going. some people are happy with that, and 7 out of 10 weren't. a lot of people showed up and voted who have not voted. i have a friend who's never voted in her entire life and she came out -- i don't know how she voted but she came out to vote this time. >> a lot of people were first time voters. >> that's good for the hillary clinton is the only woman to have won a presidential nomination in a major party. here is a known fact. >> known contact. >> in 1872, victoria martin was the first woman to run for president did you know that? >> no. a leader in the women's suffrage moment. she didn't win either.

didn't want a woman in authority then. >> susan b. anthony's grave site is in rochester, new york and after people voted they put their stickers on her grave. she was a social activist and integral in women's rights. that's quite a sight no matter who you voted for. >> i just always want the best person for the job. i trly am color blind about it, gender blind, i want somebody i think will do interesting. since the republicans control all of congress, it will be what is -- you know, what he wants, and interesting to see what happens as a result. >> we've all been complaining about gridlock. some people may not like what happens when the gridlock stops and things start happening. we'll see. america has faced much more difficult times. >> yeah. >> we go forward.

>> i was there at the beginning. >> all right. shall we change the subject to something hot and sexy. >> it isn't us? even though it could be. >> should we bring that up? >> but it's not. >> we'll just mention this real quick since it's here. look at us. >> we are -- >> i was shocked out the -- we would like to thank "bella" magazine for the great work they have. w us, it's on newsstands today. who will be buying that when there's all of this stuff. >> one of them is history in the making and it ain't this one. a dog who has very sexy hair, gone viral. >> my gosh! >> is that really her hair? >> her name is will lo mina and call her willie for short. >> she's on instagram. she's beautiful.

like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. there's more to know. xarelto. skin need an insta-detox? new pure clay masks from l'oreal 3 masks enriched with pure clays green to purify
