we've got complete coverage of all of it. we're so happy to have andy card here. of course, he was involved with president george w. bush's transition team, served as his chief of staff and he'll tell us about what it is like to plan a government in a few short days. but let us start with nbc national correspondent peter alexander. peter, good morning to you. >> reporter: savannah and lester, good morning to you. the anger still boiling over after an oval office visit that donald trump described as a "really good meeting" withat chemtry. still, trump's election remains jarring to millions of americans. thousand is of protesters overnight chanting, among other things, "we reject the president-elect." >> reporter: a second night of protests across the country. tens of thousands taking to the street in at least 25 cities with some demonstrations held outside trump properties. the out west in portland, oregon where police publicly declared a riot after protesters smashed car windows and hurled objects at officers.

and successful presidential election. now professional protester incited by the media are protesting. very unfair." earlier in the day, president-elect trump who won the white house by campaigning against washington as an outsider has become the ultimate insider. >> we now are going to want to do everything we can to help you succeed. because if you succeed, then the country succeeds. >> reporter: welcome to his new office by its current occupant, president obama. after a f amplified during a bitter campaign, their 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 many, many more times. >> reporter: sitting for tea and touring the residence, first lady, michelle, and melania trump, first foreign born first lady in more than 190 years. and walking the south lawn, jared kushner, trump's son-in-law and one of his

before takeoff, trump getting a preview of his new life. what it is like to be at the center of the nation's capital and the leader of the free world with the senate's top republican, mitch mcconnell. earlier, getting a view from the capitol where he'll be sworn in as the 45th president. his guide -- house speaker paul ryan. >> i think we are going to do some spectacular spectacular things for the we can't get started fast enough. >> reporter: ryan during the campaign refusing to defend trump. now praising him. >> the donald trump we saw at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning on tuesday night was a president. >> reporter: among the issues topping president-elect trump's to-do list -- immigration, health care and job creation. still, trump may face strong democratic opposition. bernie sanders on twitter pledging, if trump takes people's anger and turns it against muslims, hispanics, african-americans and women, we

at the same time, dlining to say whether he would have beate trump. >> what good does it do now? youknow? election is over. >> reporter: less than nine hours after attacking those protests as unfair, president-elect trump struck a more conciliatory tone -- love the fact that the protesters have great passion for our country. we will come together. one of president-elect p' toughest immediate challenges obviously means making those uncomfortable with him comfortable that he will be the president of all americans. >> peter alexander at the white house, thank you. meantime, nbc news is learning more this morning about th 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. hallie, good morning. >> reporter: hi there, lester, good morning to you. today the transition team will

picks for each top administration post, and then getting ready to present them to president-elect donald trump. it means that starting 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 gingrich, and rudy giuliani who didn't rule out attorney general rumors. >> i certainly have the energy and there is probably nobody that knows the justice department better than me. >> reporter: former congressman mike rogers giving a "no comment" to word he could be cia chief. all on a specialist for special security clearance. nbc's cynthia mcfadden reports exclusively that the president-elect's team has named nearly 30 people to whom they'd like to give access to the most

foreign policy. the list includes current and former members of congress and the military, like senator jeff sessions and retired general mike flynn. maybe not outsiders, but some are outspoken. like john bolton, an ambassador to the u.n. under president bush. political insiders hunting for clues in trump's every move. like his decision to bring son-in-law jared kushner to the white house thursday walking the south lawn with president obama's chief of st he's not allowed. federal law prohibits relatives from taking paid staff positions. that rules out ivanka, donned junior and eric, too. but overnight, trump staffers submitting ideas for other names as the transition team puts together a list of up to five options for each cabinet position. aiming for geographic diversity, not all from new york or d.c. trump values loyalty and that will likely be rewarded with

campaign ceo, reportedly one option for chief of staff. another, rnc chair reince priebus. >> i would be honored to continue to help him in any way that i can. >> reporter: trump's transition team has an official government website, greatagain.gov. not only intended to try to draw in some folks for names for political appointee positions, but also, in true donald trump fashion touts his many trump properties, hotels and golf courses around the world. andy card was president george w. bush's chief of staff. of course heavily involved in the bush team's transition to the white house. mr. card, good morning. you are 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 a proper tone as well.

beginning to heal the split in america that created wounds that are awkward. i happen to think we celebrate our democracy by best showing that we can transfer power without being ugly. president obama certainly did a good job. president bush created the good precedent. he allowed for the transitions to be done actually before the election. there was a lot of work done. president obama continued that tradition and actually got some support from the congress. so this year, both teams that were competing -- trump and that had been working since may. so there's been more groundwork done for this transition than any time in history. >> i know you believe that the chief of staff job is the first one he should address. tell me why. >> well, the chief of staff -- the only bureaucracy in washington that is not kind of dictated by congress happens to be the bureaucracy at the white house. the president gives definition to the country and certainly to the world who about the united

discipline to the white house. i think it is important for the president to name a chief of staff very, very early on. president clinton when he came to office, about the last person he named to be on his inner circle meant most of the people in the cabinet or the white house had already been identified and a matt didn't really have the gravitas given to him to help manage the daily operations of the white house. so i think it is important to name a chief of staff very early. it should be someone who can ea speak truth to power. it should be someone who is 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, no the necessarily what he wants to know. even though the little piece of paper that is fancy that hangs on your wall that you all brag about, it says that you serve at the pleasure of the president for the time being. it is redundant and it is insecurity on purpose.

president's pleasure. it's to tell the president what he needs to know to do the job. >> a lot of people have observed that this time of transition before january 20th and the days and months after, in some ways the country is at its most vulnerable because you have new people coming in and learning these jobs, and everybody thinks about national security. tell me what's done -- give some reasrance about how the new administration will be ready. >> the new administration -- first of all, they will be very organized and an they'll probably have a 100-day plan and everything will be expected to happen click,click, click, perfectly. but the reality is the world doesn't follow the 100-day plan. something bad will happen and someone will test us, one of our enemies will think they have a vulnerable opportunity for the united states to expose iself and they will do something. 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. it's not like the transition to

the responsibility and you have to be prepared for bad things to happen. >> president bush even implemented -- they called it a table read, almost a drill to have that new team meet with the old team so they'd be ready for anything. >> president bush, george w. bush, did a great job of preparing the obama incoming team with real kind tabletop exercises about a disaster. and it was very helpful. >> andy card, great to have you here. when it became clear on elec on nightha immediate jitters on wall street. but thursday the dow surged more than 200 points to close at a record high. ali velshi is nbc's chief business correspondent. he's at the stock exchange. ali, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, lester. good morning, savannah. important to note that the dow was actually doing pretty well, so the idea it hit a record has a lot to do with the idea that markets generally go up. they don't go up in a straight

starts. the concept of a trump presidency combined with the se and house is making a lot of industries think they'll do very well. industries like coal where donald trump says he will bring it back and banking and finance. it is not really market, it is investors finding companies and industries that are likely to do well under this administration and buying up lots of it. futures this morning indicate that the dow may open lower but again, it is larger sentiment. it means that people have been waiting to sell some stocks and now that the market is at a reco they'll do so. that's basically what's going on on markets today but i'll be here to follow it. >>ali, thanks very much. hillary clinton meantime getting much needed peace and quiet after a long, grueling campaign. take a look at this photo. a woman actually spotted her out on a hike on thursday near clinton's home in chappaqua, new york. man behind that shot, former

was gracious and kind and she post odd the photo hoping it brings clinton supporters some hope or some comfort. newly released video shows the horrifying moments from inside and outside the pulse nightclub at orlando during the shooting rampage in june. body camera video shows police storming the building. you can see officers running in all directions with their weapons drawn looking for survivors and for the shooter, omar you can hear cell phones ringing. much of the video was blacked out to protect the victims. 49 people were killed, 53 others wounded during that rampage. erin shock was indicted on thursday on 24 counts, including wire fraud and theft of government funds. shock was criticized for spending thousands of dollars redecorating his capitol hill

abbey." in a statement, shock said he never intentionally did anything wrong and that he is eager to defend his name a reputation. secretary of state john kerry has gone where no high-ranking u.s. official has gone before. he's in antarctica for a two-day trip to talk about scientists about the impact of climate change. during his visit, kerry is going to a research station that the u.s. government operates near the south pole. that's kind of a cool adventure. >> and a nice transition to al and the weather. good morning. >> good had a lot of talk about el nino earlier this morning. now we are talking about la nina. that is when we start to see a cooling of the pacific waters, closer to the equator.you get we get la nina. it pushes the polar jet stream up to the north. from december to february we're looking for cooler, wetter weather from the pacific northwest into the great lakes. warm and dry through the southeast, gulf coast and the southwest. not good news because we've got

friday. let's get a check of the headlines. for a second straight night, protests over the election of donald trump erupted in cities across the country. a rally in portland, oregon became so heated, police describes it as a "riot" with objects being thrown at officers and a number of cars damaged. president-elect trump is back on twitter this morning responding to those demonstrations. two tweets. last night he wrote, just had a very open and successful presidential election. now professional protesters incited by the media are protesting. very but then he tweeted again this morning, and it was a different tone. he said, love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country. we will all come together and be proud. >> of course that all followed mr. trump's visit to the white house where he met with president obama to begin the transition of power. their oval office meeting lasted for 90 minutes and they spoke with reporters when it was over. >> we discussed a lot of different situations, some

important for all of us, regardless of party, and regardless of political preferences, to now come together, work together, to deal with the many challenges that we face. >> while the president and president-elect were meeting, their wives got togethe for a chat of their own over tea. nbc's kristen welker is at the white house. she's got more on what was discussed there. hi, kristen, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. like their husbands, michelle obama and melania trumpad the first lady campaigned vigorously against donald trump. but also, like their husbands, they tried to bury a bitter past and look to the future. >> reporter: the first glimpse -- two women with two very different backgrounds about to share one famous title -- first lady of the united states. a cordial tea to break the ice after a bitter battle. >> he demeans and hue mill yates women as if we're objects meant solely for pleasure and

beings. >> reporter: a warmer tone as the two women found common ground touring the white house and discussing their number one priority -- raising their kids. >> i'm a full-time mother to our son, barron. an incredible boy. >> reporter: 10-year-old barron trump is the first young boy to live at the white house since john f. kennedy jr. michelle obama all too familiar with challenges of raising a child that young at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. >> i will never forget that winter morning as i watched our girls just pile into those black suvs with all those big men with guns. and the only thing i could think was -- what have we done? >> reporter: mrsma.baot advice from her predecessor, laura bush, during the transition in 2008. kate anderson brower author of "first women" says children are often the ties that bind. >> i think the fact that michelle obama and melania trump are both mothers makes it easier

each other and even given a of the vitriol in this campaign. >> reporter: they are also both reluctant political wives. the first african-american first lady, michelle obama, was a chicago-born lawyer with working class roots who brought a new perspective to the white house. melania trump is a former model and the first forgn born woman to fill the role since john quincy adams' wife, and like their predecessor, a fierce defender of her husband. >> i said to him, you cannot just. n you run, you will win. >> reporter: and like many spouses, she wants her husband to kick b h habits. what's the one habit you wish he'd give up? >> let's see. tweeting. >> reporter: melania has even said she admires michelle after coming under fire for lifting parts of her 2008 convention speech. >> you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond and you do what you

made children's health and veterans key issues, largely staying away from thorny policy fights. melania trump has already talked about her desire to focus on cyber bullying. >> we have to find a better way to talk to each other, to gr with eot to respect each other. >> reporter: in one of president-el trums tweets last night he indicated the eting went well, writing, "melania liked mrs. o a lot. white house officials say husband, a smooth transition is essential to the country's democracy. savannah? lester? >> kristen welker at the white house,hank you. al roker is here with another check of the weather. >> that's right. they had a nice warm meeting. we have a chilly start this morning for parts of the country but it will warm up as well. big area of high pressure pushing in cooler temperatures. look at this, we've got some frost and freeze advisories out for the midsection of the country. chattanooga, 33.
