fill key positions in the new administration. the trump administration team submits dozens of names to the federal government to grant names to the highest security clearances and an inside look with more than a few surprises today, friday, november 11th, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from stuld owe 1 a at rockefeller plaza. good morning. happy to have lester here for matt. our plaza is filled with wonderful members of our military. navy, air force, marines and here comes west point. >> they were warming up a while ago. great to have all our vets. >> absolutely. let's begin with breaking news this morning.

card here. of course, he was involved with george w. bush's transition team, served as his chief of staff and tell us what it's like to plan a government in a few short days, but let us start with national correspondent peter alexander. peter, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you. still trump's election remains americans. thousands chanting among other things, we reject the president-elect. a second night of protests across the country. tens of thousands taking to the streets in at least 25 cities with some demonstrations held outside trump properties. the worst out west in portland, oregon, where police publicly declared a riot after protesters smashed car windows and hurled objects at officers. overnight trump tweeting, just

presidential meeting. now protesters, very unfair. he won the white house by campaigning against washington as an outsider has become the ultimate insider. >> we now are going to do everything for you to succeed because if you succeed the country succeeds. >> reporter: after a fierce rivalry that was a first ever visit face-to-face lasting 90 minutes. >> mr. president, it was a great honor being with you and i look forward to being with you for many, many more times. >> reporter: sitting for tea, first lady michelle obama and melania trump.

life, what it's like to be at the center of the capitol with the senators' top rupp mitch mcconnell. earlier getting a view from the capitol where he'll be sworn in as a 45th president. his guide, house speaker paul ryan. >> happy we're going to be a two-some. absolutely spectacular things for the american people. i look forward t refusing to defend trump now praising him. >> the donald trump we saw at 2:00 or 3:00 in the night was a president. >> among the list, immigration, health care, and job creation. still trump may face strong opposition.

trump. >> what good does it do now, you know. the election is over. >> reporter: less than nine hours after attacking the protests last night, trump struck a more conciliatory tone. love the fact that the small groups of protessers have passion for our country. we will all come together and be proud. still with a country still divided one of his toughest challenges is making uncomfortable with him comfortable that he will be the president of all americans. lester and savannah. >> >> that work already starting. thank you. meantime nbc news is learning more this morning about the people being considered for key positions in the trump administration. some of them high-profile, others highly controversial. nbc's hallie jackson is in washington with more on that. good morning. >> reporter: hi, there, lester. good morning to you. today the transition team will

administration post and then getting ready to present them to president-elect donald trump. it means today we'll start to get a better sense of who he will pick to run this city and this nation. donald trump's white house taking shape. his transition team working fast to figure out who goes where. multiple campaign sources tell nbc news high-profile people are in the mix for high-profile positions like chris who didn't rule out attorney general rumors. >> i certainly have the energy for it. >> mike rodgers giving no comment on whether he could be cia chief. nbc's cynthia mcfadden reports exclusively the president-elect's team has named nearly 30 people to whom he'd like to give access to the most

foreign policy. the list includes current and former members of congress and the mill tai and jeff sessions and mike flynn. maybe some outsiders but some are outspoken. like boulton. political insiders hunting for clues in hunt's every move like his decision to bring his son-in-law jared kushnero office. he won't get that job. he's not allowed. federal law prevents that. that rules out ivanka, donald junior, and eric too. overnight they submitted other names of a list of up to five options for each capitol position. not all from new york or d.c. trump values loyalty and that will likely be rewarded with

option. the other, rnc reince priebus. >> it would be an honor to continue to help him in any way that i can. >> trump's transition team has an official website, greatagain.gov, not only to draw in names for political appointee positions but in true trump fashion he tells of his many properties, hotels and golf courses around the george w. bush's chief of staff. mr. card, good morning. you're the perfect guest to be here this morning. let's talk about the tone of transition before we get into the mechanics. you were there. the outgoing president really sets that tone. we've seen how president obama has responded. and he gave a lot of credit to your boss, former president bush for setting the tone as well. >> president obama did a

are awkward. i happened to think we celebrate our democracy by best showing we can transfer power without being ugly and president obama certainly did a good job. president bush created a good precedent. he allowed for the transitions to be done actually before the elections. there was a lot of work done. president obama continued that tradition and actually got support from congress. so this year both teams who were competing, trump and clinton have been working since may. so there's been more groundwork done this time than in any time in history. >> i know the chief of staff job should be the first one he should address. tell me why. >> it's the only one not dictated by congress at the white house. he certainly gives definition to the branch and our country and certainly to the united states around the world to who he is.

discipline to the white house. i think it ee important to name a chief of staff very, very early on. president clinton when he came to office, matt mcclarendon who was a wonderful person was the last person he named. and that meant most of the people in the capitol and the white house had already been identified and he didn't have the gravitas given to him. i think it's important to name the chief of staff to the white speak truthfully and candid to the president, someone there not to please the president even though they serve at the pleasure of the president. they've got to tell the president what he needs to know, not necessarily what he wants to know. even though the fancy piece of paper hangs on your wall, it says you serve at the pleasure

it's to tell the president what he needs to know to do his job. >> a lot of people have observed in the transition in the days and months. in some ways the country is at its most vulnerable because you have new people coming in and learning this job and everyone thinks about national security. tell me what's done. give me some reassurance how the new administration will be ready. >> the new administration will be organized happen click, click, click perfectly. the reality is the world doesn't follow the 100-day plan. something bad will happen. one of our enemies will think they have an opportunity to expose itself and they will do something and you have to be ready for that. you have to plan for it, but you don't have to broadcast it. but, yes, on day one the president is the president.

takes the position and you have to be prepared for bad things to happen. >> president bush called it kind of a drill so they'd be ready for anything. >> president george w. bush did a great job of preparing the obama incoming team with real kind of tabletop exercises about a disaster and it was very helpful. >> andy card, great to have you here. >> thank you so much, appreciate it. donald trump would be elected there were jittery fears on wall street. but it closed at a record high. good morning. >> good morning, lester, good morning, salve nachlt important to note that the dow was doing pretty well. the idea that it hit a record is the idea that records go up. they don't go up in a straight line but they go up in fits and starts. it combined with a republican

lot of industries think this they're going to do very well. industries that are highly regulated, industries like coal that donald trump said he ice going to bring back. so what has happened is it's not really a market. it's investors finding companies and industries that are likely to do well under this administration and buying up lots of it. now, futures this morning indicate that the dow may open lower, but, again, it is not a sign of larger sentiment. it means people have been waiting to sell some stocks and now that it's at a record, they'll do so. bile here to follow it. lester, savannah. >> thanks very much. hillary clinton getting peace and quiet. take a look at this photo. a woman actually spotted her out on a hike. the man behind that shot? former president bill clinton. margo gift ter said hillary

posted the photo hoping it brings clinton supporters some hope or comfort. newly released videos shows inside and outside. the pulse nightclub in orlando during the shooting rampage in june. >> back up, back up, back up. >> body cameras show police storming the building. you can see police running in all directions with their weapons gone looking for survive and the shooter omar phones rings. much of the video was blacked out to protect the victims. 49 people were killed, 53 others injured during that rampage. aaron schock was indieded on thursday including wire fraud and theft of government funds. schock was criticized for

style of "downton abbey." he said he never did anything wrong and he's eager to retain his name and reputation. secretary kerry is in antarctica to talk about science. that's kind of a cool adventure. >> and a nice transition to al and the weather. good morning. >> good morning, guys. we had a lot now we're talking about la nina. that is when we start to see a cooling of the pacific waters, cooler than normal as you get closer to the equator. we get la nina. what it does is pushes the jet stream, the polar jet up to the north. so from december to february we're looking for cooler wetter weather from the pacific northwest to the great lakes. we've got to a really strong

three cities. birmingham has gone 53 days without appreciable rain. atlanta, almost a month. charlotte, more than a month. and we're not going to look at any appreciable rain for the next week or so. plus wildfires going on from tennessee on into the carolinas. that smoke making its way all the way down into central georgia. we're going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds.

c'mon in, pop pop! happy birthday! i survived a heart attack. i'm doing all i can to keep from having another one. and i'm taking brilinta. for people who've been a baby aspirin. no more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. or dying from one. it worked better than plavix. >>don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding.

bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. >>talk to your doctor about brilinta. i'm doing all i can. that includes brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astra zeneca may be able to help. coming up, the

b not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. xarelto? is selective targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. 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. 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. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures.

as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. there's more to know. xarelto. happy friday. back now with more of "today's take" with our s happy friday. more of "today's takes." my phone is blowing up. i love jordin so much. i love you. >> love, life, talking about. we know the kardashians. i'm kind of obsessed. black china, rob kardashian. they weekended their daughter. people were wondering what the name of rob's baby will be. she's awfully adorable. dream rene kardashian. she was born 9:18 a.m. at sinai
