>> it is. and, yet our decision desk still has pennsylvania and michigan as tossups. at this hour. as well as new hampshire. wisconsin is leaning republican.

republican. but michigan, new hampshire, pennsylvania, still tossups according to the cbs news decision desk which we are showing right now is, there all looking very closely at those numbers. >> yeah, the jackets have come off. it's like it is hot in here already all of a sudden. you know i feel like someone needs to find alanis moresettes song, isn't it ironic. started off. people are anxious. at least by the end of the night we will know something. now we sit here at 2:32 eastern time. we still don't really know. >> you are looking at trump campaign headquarters. their watch party tonight. and major garrett is there for us. donald trump is expected at any moment. >> yeah, donald trump is here. the top advisers to his campaign are beginning to make their way towards the center of the stage. sarah palin, early endorser.

manhattan. we're told that donald trump will be out momentarily. we don't know exactly how many moments from now. some time in the near future. and because there is not a concession from hillary clinton, he will not declare absolute victory, we are told. but talk abut tout the directiod he sees, all the numbers, outstanding point favorably in his directs. he wants to thank supporters and talk about this moment. and bask a little bit in the improbability of it all. but also tell t he is going to wait, see how the numbers come in, and when the news organizations declare him the vectick victor and some poi. and propriety of concession from hillary clinton should it come is carried out. then he will declare himself the winner. so in that sense, you can begin to see in the emerging possibility of a president-elect trump. a deference to the methodology, the long standing, process of

closely contested one. but trump does want to -- enjoy this moment. and share it with his supporters. and give the country a bit of a glimpse what he sees and expects in the coming hours. i made a reference to this a moment ago. i really do think it is worth pointing out. every day that donald trump gives a speech he heaps scorn on the dishonest, lying media. i find it ironic that at this moment what is holding donald trump himself the next president of the united states is the very same media going through the numbers, meticulously, accurately, probingly, to declare him the winner. >> major, thank you very much. and we are not holding back, folks, believe me. none of us want to be sitting here at 3:00 in the morning. >> sure we do, scott. >> our decision desk is going over the numbers as major said, meticulously. we just want to make sure that we make these estimates correctly.

the last votes and some of these states. that are so close. you know, what a difference -- six or eight hours makes. hillary clinton watch party early this evening filled up with high spirits. they were expecting to win. they, they thought it was going to be a walk perhaps. the trump campaign watch party was much more somber in the beginning. they were afraid they were going to get clobbered. and then, progressed. it dawned on both of them. >> donald trump with 245 electoral volts. and -- hillary clinton with 218. we should point out, as we -- also look at the popular vote, and donald trump leading in the popular vote, that if we turn, return to the map of the united states, we still have a number of states that are not blue or red. as you can see. arizona. minnesota.

and new new hampshire. those are battleground states states. those are the states our decision desk is looking at. hillary clinton's campaign chairman said go to sleep. donald trump will have something else to say about that shortly. but these are the states why we are still sitting here at 2:35 in the morning. >> so interesting, how, how evenly and closely divided our country is you. saw that, popular vote. it really hasn't changed. in terms of night long. donald trump has been ahead by 1 million votes out of 100 million cast. round numbers. in other word he has been ahead by 1% and that has really been the case over the last several hours. it hasn't changed much at all. >> i remember scott when we assembled here at 5. 30. . seemed like a long time ago. yesterday, we looked for the

was tight. it could not be any tighter. >> the other thing we notice, charlie. you will remember in the early exit polls. that a large percentage of voters. almost 40%. said the most important thing to them was change. and, the single most important thing. >> early, early in the evening. that gave us a clue about which way this was headed. >> but it was also a little bit of a fooler. then on judgment and who you -- ou added up to -- the balance of change. so, all of which were attributes that hillary clinton has the. >> we have had an incredible team of reporters that spoke with people as they voted. we polled those who voted early. we have a sense of the mood of the electorate that has been these exit polls. if you look at sort of -- what happened with clinton tonight. she underperformed obama four

groups. 18-29-year-olds. got 54% of the vote. obama got 60% of the vote. it goes on. even among black voters. she got 88% of the black vote. obama got 93%. >> when she underperformed did he overperform. did all the people go to him? >> is that what happened here? >> yes. also the case may be too that the third party candidate took part of -- >> see where the third party difference in some of the battleground states. >> his turnout in republican counties was, was very shy. >> that's right. she may have turned out in some places but just not enough. florida again. the best example. he turned out high. and then she turned out, and she turned out and then he turned out even higher. >> she just never seemed to

i think that is the thing we haven't talked about here. from the start of her campaign it did not seem spontaneous. it did not seem -- it seemed almost rehearsed. everything that she did. and -- i mean, the fact is in the beginning, any way, she was just simply not a very good candidate. i mean, she just didn't seem to stir up a lot of excitement. especially among young people. they were going for bernie sanders. they were getting excite add but bernie sanders. >> young >> young women. you never really thaw that in the clinton campaign. >> i had a chance to talk to millenials, two hours, group of 30 recently. one of the things gary johnson supporter said about hillary clinton is that -- people don't talk about the fact that she is part of the 1%. for him, that was -- a big issue. because he felt as the though both candidates, major party candidates could not identify with his own economic struggles. that was something that was a

>> this evening is not turning out the way most people thought it would. other than, unless a member of the trump campaign. have to think that even they john have to be ape little surprised by, that it has come done to this close. of a margin. >> well, i -- i do know the conversations. they have always been very bullish. >> always confident. >> always saying, you know, look at the rallies. look at our, we have a different way of trying to -- tap into the country, the real country. operators in washington see it. i must say the political operators in washington -- in the republican establishment, thought that donald trump was not going to win. so, he knew something that they didn't. live pictures of the trump watch party. donald trump is there. we are told. we understand he will be taking the stage at any moment. and we will switch to him immediately when hat happens.

garrett who is there at campaign headquarters. major. >> well there is a roar of approval here. you can hear behind me. we have been told, i believe, i can confirm, that hillary clinton has called donald trump to concede. we expect donald trump to come out at any moment and announce that to the throng of supporters at the hilton hotel in midtown. and this moment, long sought by donald trump, long disbelieved by some in the republica party, and a the good number of the american people still unsure about donald trump. apparently has the come. trump, if in fact hillary clinton, as we are led to believe called to concede, will tell supporters that. tell the country that and be ginlt procegin the process of moving from republican nominee to president-elect of the united states. the atmosphere as you can imagine here is elated.

before high went on air, scott, norah. ear splitting, the kind i have been hearing on the campaign trail when donald trump appeared to rallies where thousands and thousands of supporters hoping this moment might come. in fact it appears it has. >> we want to emphasize, major, of course, that though word there is that hillary clinton has called donald trump to concede, we do not have confirmation of that from the clinton campaign. and of course, the way the vote trump has not quite won the presidency tonight. he is at 245 electoral votes. he needs 270. the states that are remaining, certainly are leaning his way. there is no question about that. but -- we were told earlier that hillary clinton's people were going to take the rest of this

about all of this. we are waiting for donald trump to come out on to the stage. and the moment he does, we will be sure to go to him. and -- >> sure would look to know when she called. >> arizona, we are now calling for donald trump, cbs news estimates that when all of the votes are counted, donald trump will be the winner in arizona. >> 11. >> g votes. so that now brings our vote totals to hillary clinton, 218, donald trump, 256. he only needs to get to 270. and there are a few more states like pennsylvania, wisconsin, and michigan. that are still outstanding. but donald trump is leading in those states. so, it may just be a matter of -- time. maybe just a few more minutes

>> all he needs is 14, right? >> to get to 270. that's right, bob. that's, that's all he needs is 14. pennsylvania, alone would do that for him. michigan alone would do that for him. >> here comes donald trump. >> sound look they just introduced mike pence. >> there is mike pence. mike pence. and his family. we would expect donald trump next. and -- probably pandemonium to follow him on to the stage. >> cnn projecting trump wins

>> they need to be don to four. then he would be down to four. >> they have reason to celebrate. at this headquarters tonight. >> this is an historic night. the american people have spoken and the american people have elected their new champion.

express the honor that i and my family feel that we will have the privilege to serve as your vice president of the united states of america. >> usa! usa! usa! usa! >> i come to this moment, i come tos grateful to god for his amazing grace. grateful to my family, my wonderful wife karen, our son michael and his fiancee sarah. our daughter audry, far away and our daughter charlotte. i could not be here without

and i am -- i am deeply grateful to the american people. for placing their confidence in this team and giving us this opportunity to serve. and i am mostly grateful to our president-elect, whose leadership and vision will make america great again! so let me say it is my high honor, and distinct privilege to introduce to you the president-elect of the united

>> donald trump, not having the 270 electoral votes necessary. but certainly the states that he needs to go over the top, are all leaning in his direction. and the trump campaign claiming victory. cbs news has just projected the state of wisconsin will also go trump's way. no big surprise there. that brings him to 266.

win the election. but, certainly as we said before, many of these outstanding states are, leaning his way. there doesn't seem to be any mystery in this any more. as donald trump takes the stage in front of his fans and all of his campaign workers there. at his watch potter in manhattan. >> cbs news has not yet called the election as we are waiting for vote to come in, in a number of but, mike pence has just declared victory and introduced what he said is the next president of the united states. donald trump who has never run for political office. and in his first bid for office. has managed to capture 266 electoral votes. and is on his way to winning the presidency. >> he became a republican in 2012. >> here is donald trump.

>> thank you. thank you very much, everybody. sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business. complicated. thank you very much. i just received a call from secretary clinton. she congratulated us, it is about us on our victory. and i congratulated her and her family on a very, very hard fought campaign. i mean she, she fought very hard. hillary has worked very long and

time. and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country. i mean that very sincerely. now it's time for america to bind the wound of division. we have to get together. to all republicans, and democrats, and independents across this nation, i say, it is time for us to come together as one united people. it's time. i pledge to every citizen of our land that i will be president for all of 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 --

your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country. as i have said from the beginning, ours was not a campaign but rather an incredible and great movement made up of millions of hard working men and women who love their country and want a be brighter future for themselves and for their family. it is a movement come the prized of americans from all races, religions, backgrounds and believes, who want and expect our government to serve the people and serve the people it will. working together, we will begin

our nation and renewing the american dream. i have spent my entire life in business, looking at the untapped potential in projects and in people all over the world. that is now what i want to do for our country. tremendous potential. i have gotten to know our country so well, tremendous potential. it is going to be a beautiful th the opportunity to realize his or her fullest potential. the forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. we are going to fix our inner cities, and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals.

which will become, by the way, second to none. and we will put millions of our people to work as we rebuild it. we will also finally, take care of our great veterans. we have been so loyal, and i have gotten to know so many this 18 month journey. the time i spent with them during this campaign has been among my greatest honors. our veterans are incredible people. we will embark upon a project of national growth, and renewal. i will harness the creative talents of our people. and we will call upon the best and brightest to leverage their tremendous talent for the benefit of all. it is going to happen.

we will double our growth, and have the strongest economy anywhere in the world. at the same time, we will get along with all other nations. willing to get along with us. we will be. we will have great relationships. we expect to have great, great relationships. no dream is too big, no challenge is too great. nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach. america will no longer settle we must reclaim our country's destiny. and dream big and bold and daring. we have to do that. we are going to dream of things for our country and beautiful things and successful things once again. i want to tell the world community that while wailable is

we will deal fairly with everyone. with everyone. all people and all other nations. we will seek common ground, not hostility. partnership not conflict. and now, i would look to take this moment to thank some of the people who really helped me with this, what they are calling tonight, very, very historic victory. first i want to thank my parents, who i know are great people. i have learned so much from them. they were wonderful in every regard. i had truly great parents. i also want to thank my sisters, mary ann and elizabeth, who are here with us tonight. where are they? they're here some place. they're very shy, actually.

where is robert. my brother robert. and they should all be on this stage. but that's okay. they are great. and also my late brother fred, great guy. fantastic guy. fantastic family. i was very lucky. great, brothers, sisters, great unbelievable parents. to melania and don and eric and tiffany and baron i love you and i thank you and especially for putting up with all of those hours. this was tough.

and it's tough. so i want to thank my family very much. really, fantastic. thank you all. thank you all. and laura, unbelievable job. unbelievable, vanessa. thank you. thank you very much. what a great group. you have all given me such incredible support and i will tell you that we have a large group of people. you know they kept saying we have a small staff. not so small. look at all the people we have. look al and kellyann and chris and rudy and steve and david. we have got, we have got tremendously talented people up here. i will tell you it has been very, very special. i want to give a very special thanks to, our former mayor, rudy giuliani. unbelievable.

he traveled with us and he went through meetings and -- rudy never changes. where is rudy? where is he? rudy. governor chris christie, folks, was unbelievable. thank you, chris. the first man, first senator, first major, major politician, let me tell you he is highly respected in washington because he is as smart as you get, senator jeff sessions. where is jeff? a great man. another great man, tough competitor. he was not easy. he was not easy.

up? is that rudy? rudy got up here. another great man who has been really a friend to me, but i will tell you, i got to know him as a competitor, because he was one of the folks that was negotiating to go against those democrats. dr. ben carson. where is ben? where is ben? and here some place, he is fantastic. mike and his family, sarah. thank you very much. general mike flynn. where is mike? and general kellogg. we have over 200 generals and admirals that have endorsed our campaign. and they're special people. it is really an honor the we

just tremendous people. a very special person, who believed me and, you know i would read reports that i wasn't getting along with him. i never had a bad second with him. he is an unbelievable star. he is, that's right, how did you possibly guess? so, let me tell you about reince. i have said this. i said, reince, i know it. i know it. look at all the people over there. i know it. reince is a rs a superstar, reince, unless we win. you can't be called a superstar, like secretariat, if secretariat came in second, secretariat would not have that big beautiful, bronze bust at the track. at belmont. i will tell you reince is really a star. he is the hardest working guy. and in a certain way i did this, reince, come up here.

boy, oh, boy. it's about time you did this, reince. my god. say a few words. >> no, come on. say something. ladies and gentlemen, the next president of the united states, donald trump! thank you it has been an honor. god bless. thank god. >> you bet. >> amazing guy. >> our was so important to the success in what we have done. so i also have to say. i have got in to know some incredible uh people. the secret service people. they're tough and they're smart. and they're sharp. and i don't want to mess around with them. i can tell you. and when i want to go and wave to a beg group of people and

down. but they are fantastic people. so i want to thank the secret service. and -- law enforcement in new york city. they're here tonight. these are -- spectacular people. some times underappreciated unfortunately. but we appreciate them. we know what they go through. so, it's been what they call an historic event. but to be really historic, we have to do a great job. and i promise you that i will not let you down. we will do a great job. we will do a great job. i look very much forward to being your president. and hopefully at the end of two years or three years or four

you will say, so many of you worked so hard for us. but you will say that -- you will say that that was something that you were really very proud to do. and i can, thank you very much. and i can only say that while the campaign is over, our work on this movement is now really just beginning. we are going to got to work immediately for the american people. and we are going to be doing a job that hopefully you will be so proud of your president you will be so proud. again. it's my honor. it is an amazing evening, an amazing two year period. and i love this country. thank you. thank you very much. thank you to mike pence, thank you, everybody.

president. >> and that was donald trump, the 45th president of the united states. giving a conciliatory speech tonight. thanking his supporters. thanking his family. talking about the need to bind the wounds of division in this country. and saying, our work is really just now beginning. thanking hillary clinton. in a way that we before that we owe her a debt of gratitude. and the time to heal has come. that he wants to be the uniter of all people. and he made a point of saying, i am the president of all people. >> it was a very untrumplike speech from what we have heard throughout the campaign. >> well we will ask him whether he could be conciliatory, and magnanimous in defeat. we found out that he can be magnanimous in victory. >> i can be politically correct,

correct when the moment calls for it. the moment called for a speech like that. he gave it. >> bob, talk about now, the challenges for sum within as they transition from booing a candidate to trying to govern and becoming -- filling that office, the awesomeness of the office and the responsibilities that go with it. >> i think we are kind of in unchartered territory now. we, really don't know. this is -- this is a totally new and than we have seen arrive in washington before. and i don't think we can predict where this goes from here. i mean it is different. it's -- this was a different campaign. and what happens now is different as well. >> i think it is encouraging to say he wants to reach out to all americans. campaign is over. the work is just beginning. that he wants to do a good job for everybody. we haven't heard him speak that

which was also something that, that he you hadn't heard before. the first person to become president of the united states without having held previous elected office since dwight eisenhower. he did it without the advantage of having won world war ii. >> here is the immediate challenge for him. the rhetoric was basically about as good as we have d he will have a supreme court seat to fill right away. hillary clinton would probably not have. talking to republicans in the senate. they would have voted him through. so he has a supreme court. supreme court fights get nasty pretty fast. there is that. plus, the, dismantling of obama care. the building of the wall. his policy agenda. right away. is -- is one that, that is going to require some, some massaging.

starts to talk about. >> but we didn't have a divided government. we have a republican senate. and a republican congress. >> there is a filibuster in the senate. >> they filibuster the senate. his supreme court nominee. which will return the court to being a conservative majority. then you are going to have a fight in washington. >> you don't know where the other part its. this is going to be. i don't care what you see. this is going to be greet with surprise. around the world. >> maybe, maybe, russia's pleased with it. as -- as from, from our reporter. in moscow earlier this evening. i don't know how the rest of the world is going to react with, to this, except with surprise. they're going to find it hard to believe. i think. >> they'll probably react depending on how he maintains a sense that he did in this speech or in terms of the people that he chooses, selects to be in his cabinet. that will be an indication of what kind of government he wants to have.

campaign headquarters. major. >> well a couple of things, scott, everyone else on the panel. talking governing. my sources within the trump transition team tell me that, as of last thursday, all of the work set before that transition team had been completed. meaning they put together all of the policy binders. put together all the binders on possible cabinet and sub-cabinet nominations apin theees. put together all of the bindings on other political appointis that a future trump presidency should it have ready for the work to begin rather. so that work, by the transition team, has been completed. and is ready for donald trump, now president-elect of the united states. so when donald trump told the country tonight, he is going to got to work. he has plenty of binders and plenty of staffers on that transition team. who have done the work for him. to begin that process. couple of other observations. donald trump has said from the

that he saw something in america in terms of untapped potential and in terms of people who wanted to be a part of a rejuvenated american dream but felt that was no longer open to them. he tried to speak to those people. before he spoke to anyone else. in a way. that they fundamentally understood without any filtering from any other source. and even when controversies would arise. and trump's poll numbers would dip or there would be some defections from the republican party over something tha those people, who heard trump first. never left his side. trump was speaking to them tonight when he talked about a country to be proud in. a country that will aim for the best. never accept anything less than the best. those word always rez nated with his supporters. one last historical analogy that i have never forgotten since newt gingrich. long term trump supporter put before me several months ago. to understand donald trump, you have to understand three

a populist president who toppled the existing order in washington. teddy roosevelt. a republican president who challenged the existing republican approach to business. and was a person of strength and projected strength. and pt barnum. some one who marketed himself for the benefit of his business and image of himself. newt gingrich told me, donald trump is a combination of all three of those figures. and his upside potential is enormous. and downside risk is sizable. even in the last days of the campaign, gingrich fretted openly if trump, the downside would undercut the potential upside. it did not. the upside now lays before the country. lays before trump. and his transition team. guys back to you. >> and, nancy cordes is over at the jacob javits center in new york where hillary clinton's watch party broke up about an hour ago.

>> scott, the lights are out here the they have already brought out the heavy equipment to start tearing this whole set apart. what is so fascinating is that for all of the talk over the past many weeks about the possibility of donald trump not accepting the outcome of this election, in the end, it was hillary clinton and her campaign chair, john podesta speaking for her who came out after 2:00 eastern time and told everyone to go home because things were still up in the air. yet a short time later, we can now confirm, call donald trump to concede. so, at the end of the day, she is the one who has not delivered a concession speech at least on election night. i am told that there are number of clinton campaign officials still at brooklyn headquarters, crunching the numbers. trying to figuree out what went wrong. trying to figuree out if there are any voting irregularities that, they should examine or call attention to.

have seen here tonight, scott, has been shell shocked. they're stunned by this news. they weren't just confident at the beginning of the night that she was going to win, they were sure of it. there was no other possible outcome. in their mind. not because they were cocky or being fanciful but because all of the data that they were looking at was telling them that she was going to win. and that may be part of the reason that you never saw her here tonight. which is, just like her campaign aides, it was very difficult for hillary news as well. >> nancy cordes, thank you. an interesting point she makes there. about as much data, polling, money, consultants, the whole obama analytics team, could not fend off what has been an incredible uprising for change in this country and for the unique person that donald trump is. >> you know it will be fascinating when he starts to govern. because a lot of times when people would say, well you know you are supposed to do it this

doing it the other way. create a certain sense of chaos. he thrived in chaos. in fact when things were too calm he some times would create chaos to turn the conversation on his turf. what does that look like when you govern it? may be the route to new success in a number of parts of washington that have been clotted. but it is going to be an exciting ride. and there are going to be a lot of people who need to join in the team who may not know how to work or need to learn how to work in an environment where you have got a leader who leads in that way. that will be, we have never seen a, a chief executive, who has led like that. in part because the office constrains you, you can't do it. but on the other hand we thought there was a lot in politics that constrained him. nothing did. >> guys, he said all along from the very beginning. this was not a campaign. this was a movement. he made, made reference to that again tonight. a movement he says of hard working people who love their country. and at least from the numbers we are looking at right now. close to 58 million people,

>> but it was also a reaction. a reaction to a washington that has ceased to work. the purpose of government is to improve the lives of citizens. our government has been just gridlocked. it's been unable to do anything. i said earlier today, you know it took him eight months to approve funds to find the vaccine for the zika virus.th didn't hap men as much as it was a victory for donald trump and his people tonight. >> and charlie rose has the insights of our political panel. charlie. >> scott, thank you. you can say that everybody who achieved the presidency, somehow it changes them. they can't imagine what it is look to be there and to feel the burd in of the office. and his first official act, to accept the concession from secretary clinton, donald trump did it with some grace.

chris christie told me on sunday during an interview that he had been working hard on the transition and that they have reams of books and had thought deeply about what they would do if the opportunity to girch came. i turn next to peggy noonan. thoughts? >> i think his victory speech which many people including perhaps he did not know he would be making tonight. was a very, was one that was worthy te it showed us a trump who was graver than usual, who was more serious than usual. he said things like, no dream is too big. no challenge is too great. he reached out. i think he was trying very hard, i think he was being sensitive to those he understood he had to reassure the one half of the united states of america that did not vote for him. so i thought it was -- equal to

and i was glad to see its tone and hear its ring. >> michelle? >> i agree. he spoke in an ok taf that we have not heard thus far in the campaign. and, and with a cadence that we haven't heard. this was perhaps his first demonstration of something as, as a leader that we hadn't seen before. he didn't throw an elbow. but he also talked about rebuilding. it will be interesting to know what that means. is he just talking about infrastructure? is he just talking about building the economy? or also talking about unspooling the barack obama's presidency has been consequential. and for some people they view it as something that has been quite successful. will he start taking apart key provisions of the obama legacy? and so it sounded quite graceful. but was he also sending a signal. that change is coming. big change is coming. >> charlie, what i keep coming become to and thinking about trump's victory. the implications we will see

include working class whites and college whites on an activist level, it clued steven ban non, identify themselves as white nationalists, parts of american life that have been suppressed for a very long time. so looking for ward, i think i am a little less interested in the mechanics of a trump government and more interested what does it moon that a candidate in a lot of ways ran with a nod and wink towards those people is now the president of the but whut do what does that mean for african-americans, muslim-americans, for the groups of people trump targeted in his campaign. i think that is the question that should be driving a lot of us going forward. because i do not think we should take lightly that, those facts. >> the question will be -- will he govern differently than the way he campaigned? often governing as some one, i think governor cuomo said,

and poetry. we well now see what the prose is like. >> i think one of the things that was said that was so important. governing is one thing. also the messages that you send. we have this -- odd moment in america where we are passing the baton from the nation's first black president to a candidate who was endorsed by the kkk and did not denuns that. a -- not denounce that. as president you send a message to the electorate. governance is one thing. but how people live and on the ground is something different. >> about action not words. in the end. >> yes, of course. but let me -- >> you love words. >> i do indeed. i think we have witnessed tonight something epical and grave. i think it is the beginning of a new era whose shape and form and content are not known to us. and are not clear. whose personnel and exact

but i think something huge and incalculable has occurred. i want my word to be, god bless our beloved country. >> it was hand historic night. we all look forward to understanding how it goes from here. back to scott and norah at the desk. >> brilliant conversation there, charlie, and some really interesting points to amplify here. what is barack obama going say? he has called donald trump unfit. he called him dangerous. and what will this mean for obama's legacy? it means it is in jeopardy? >> january 20th, president obama is going to be standing next to donald trump at the capitol watching him being sworn in. >> well, i mean, one of the first things that donald trump has said he is going to do is, roll back obamacare. which was -- the president's main legacy. and what other things are going

that -- as you know, and he is going to have to work with congress. and there are priorities here that is going to have to take place. >> we're looking closer into the numbers about how trump pulled off this historic victory tonight. anthony mason has those details. anthony? >> thera. going to look at three pillars of trump's victory. the first was, male voters. men, he won them 53% to 41%. he also won whites without a college degree, by more 2:1 margin. 67% to 28%. voters told us the call they they wanted mosten their candidate. a candidate who could bring about change. among those voters. donald trump won 83%. so, huge landslide in that category there. the most important quality. and finally there was a lot of talk after the access hollywood tape and a lot of leading republicans pulled back their endorsement from donald trump. that republicans might in fact flee from him.

he won nine out of ten republican voter. they came home to donald trump. gail? >> certainly did, anthony. continuing that conversation. according to the exit poll, 7 in ten said they were dissatisfied with the federal government. 58% of those who made that comment with donald trump. 36% of those went with hillary clinton. it goes back to what he said, from when he started this campaign, not a campaign, a movement of people. that certainly bore itself out today. >> now everybody only the electoral vote that counts. and donald trump has won that decisively tonight. but have a look at how divided the country is. let's look at the popular vote. 57,600,000 for donald trump. 56,855,000 for hillary clinton. that's the popular vote as it is being counted right now. donald trump wins in the popular vote. yes indeed. but it's only about 1% difference. between the two.

trump give a conciliatory sort of the right pitch in his speech. but those 56 million who voted for hillary clinton there are a lot of them who believe he came to this position by playing on racial fears, he was for five years the chief advocate of the idea that president obama was illegitimate he wasn't born in the united states. there are people on the other side of this who are not just going to accept this. we will see what the shape of that response will be and whose, who becom t response. you mentioned barack obama the he will not be the voice thought of response. but who, who is? who does? and we have yet to see that part of the story play out. >> yeah. >> couple things. one this is really an hiss toreic achieve. in america. an historic, nothing like this ever happened. secondly, you have to give him credit. he has achieved something that no one, from the beginning, ever believed she could do. >> elaine?

david duke tweeted this is one of the most exciting nights of my life. make no mistake about it. our people have played a huge role in election trump, make america great again. now at the same time, as trump was reaching out tonight, i was reminded of the latinos that i met at the u.s./mexico border when i did a documentary, latinos for trump. among the most passionate supporters the they felt he was the one who w change in washington they truly believed in him from the beginning despite all the controversies. >> bob, what are you reflection on this morning? >> i remember when richard nixon resigned. cbs news correspondent, roger mudd was part of the panel. after that happened. i said roger what is your reaction. he said, you know i think i want to go home and sleep a couple hours and i'll come back and tell you tomorrow. this was totally unexpected.

us who have been covering politic politics over the years, i think charlie is right. this is, this is historic. but i don't think we can say right now where this goes from here. >> unexpected not because of any interest in politics. but unexpected because of the polling. the polls were telling us, polls done by many different organizations, many different times, they were all pointing in the directionf victory. >> the polls and the behavior of the candidate that people said was not fit to be president, of the united states, so many people had found his behavior egregious, at the end of the day it really didn't matter. i take, you know i take some hope in his speech tonight. that he said he wants to reach out. that he wants to build bridges. stand that he wants us al come together each of think that is a really great way to start in this country. there is a lot of healing that needs to happen today. >> if you look to your point, gail. on the questions of has the

judgment. hillary clinton won those questions by large amounts and numbers. again not what people -- wanted. they wanted change over experience and judgment. >> they're fed up. >> all right. well -- >> yeah. >> change is what they will get. >> and it has been quite a night. >> we hope rerules by hope rather than fear. >> well, his conciliatory victory speech tonight was certainly long, long process over these next four years. we sure are grateful that you stayed here with us. all this time. >> yes, who are you people? >> some times raunchy election of 2016 now comes to a peaceful if improbable end. 70-year-old donald j. trump. sworn in as the 45th president of the united states on january 20th. >> the trump presidency begins

fueled by what we know now is record turnout. election coverage continues now on our streaming news service, cbsn. there will be much more in just a few hours. >> really? >> yeah. >> who is going to be here? >> charlie and i right back here. >> wearing these same clothes. >> for norah o'donnell and our entire campaign 2016 team, i'm scott pelley. thank you for being with us on cbs. >> i am officially run f >> i'm back. >> when mexico sends it people, they're not sending their best. >> i'm running to help working families get a raise! >> we will make america great again. >> the american people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn e-mails. >> it is weak to disparage women. >> a man who can be provoked by a tweet should not be anywhere near the nuclear code. >> i could stand in the middle

somebody. i wouldn't lose any voters. >> just remember, love trumps hate. >> i humbly accept your nomination. >> for president of the united states. >> russia if you are listening, i hope you are able to find the 30,000 e-mails. >> i'm not making excuses. i said it was a mistake. i regret it. >> this is the single biggest scandal since watergate. >> the >> we are going to win at the border. mexico is going to pay for the wall. >> lock her up! >> you can put half of trump supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. >> she has tremendous hate in her heart. >> i don't care what he says about me. i care what he says about you. >> i pledge to every citizen of our land that i will be president for all americans. ?

family

campaign. i mean she -- she fought very hard. hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time. and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country. i mean that very sincerely. now it is time for america t have to get together. to all republicans and democrats and independents across this nation, why say, it is time for us to come together as one united people. it's time. i pledge to every citizen of our land that i will be president

important to me. for those who have chosen not to support me in the ps, of which there were a few people, i am reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country. as i have said from the beginning, ours was not a campaign but rather an incredible and great movement made up of millions of hard working men and women who love their country and want a better brighter future for themselves and for their families. it is a movement comprised of americans from all races, religions, background and

government to serve the people and serve the people it will. working together we will begin the urgent task of rebuilding our nation and renewing the american dream. i have spent my entire life in business, looking at the untapped potential in projects and in people all over the world. that is now what i want to do for our country. tremendous potential. i have gotten to know our country so well. tremendous potential. it is going to bea beautiful thing. every single american will have the opportunity to realize his or her fullest potential. the forgotten men and women of

longer. we are going to fix our inner cities. and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals. we are going to rebuild our infrastructure. which will become, by the way, second to none. and we will put millions of our people to work as we rebuild it. we will also finally take care of our great veterans. who have been so loyal. i have gotten to know so many over this 1 month journey. the time i have spent with them during this campaign has been among my greatest honors. our veterans are incredible people. we will embark upon a project of

i will harness the creative talents of our people, and we will call upon the best and brightest to leverage their tremendous talent for the benefit of all. it is going to happen. we have a great economic plan. we will double our growth. and have the strongest economy anywhere in the world. at the same time -- we will get along with all other nations. willing to get along with us. we will be. we will have great relationships. we expect to have great, great relationships. no dream is too big, no challenge is too great. nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach. america will no longer settle for anything less than the best. we must -- reclaim our country's destiny. and dream big and bold and

we are going to dream of things for our country and beautiful things and successful things once again. i want to tell -- the world community -- that while we will always put america's interests first, we will deal fairly with everyone. with everyone. all people, and all other nations. we will seek common ground not hos pill t hostility. it has been what they call an historic event. but to be really historic, we have to do a great job. and i promise you that i will not let you down. we will do a great job. we will do a great job. i look very much forward to being your president. and hopefully at the end of two years or three years or four years or maybe even eight years, you will say, so many of you

that that was something that you were really very proud to do and i can -- thank you very much -- and i can only say -- that while the campaign is over, our work on this movement is now really just beginning. we are going to got to work immediately for the american people. and we are going to be doing a so proud of your president, you will be so proud. again, it's my honor. it was an amazing evening. it has been an amazing two-year period. and i love this country! thank you. thank you very much. >> thank you to mike pence. thank you, everybody. >> congratulations, mr. president.

45th president of the united states. giving a conciliatory speech tonight. thanking his supporters.

margaret brennan is at the white house for us tonight. margaret. >> well the crowd has gathered here, scott, but the silence from the white house is deafening. president obama argued that the very fate of the republic, his words, hinged on his election. and he was on the stump for his successor more than any other president in modern history. donald trump, a man he called uniquely unfit for office is

presidency a serious blow. clinton had promised that she would protect his signature achievement, obama care which has been damaged in recent months. she had pledged to undertake immigration reform. roll out environmental protections and defend that landmark nuclear deal with iran which trump says he is going to tear up. supreme court nominee, merrick garland doesn't look like he will get confirmed. that will leave us with a splitu obama's free trade deal with asia and other alliances. so this is going to make it very difficult on monday when president obama heads to europe to try to reassure allies that america is going to stand by their defense. particularly considering that trump has made friendly overtures to russia. how is he going to explain this pledge to possibly starting trade deal with china. so this is going to be really difficult for the white house to

but, scott, norah, president obama said before the polls closed that, when the sun rises, america will still be the greatest nation on earth. i think it is safe to say, he didn't think he would wake up to this kind of result. >> margaret, it sounds like, and looks like there is a really large crowd around the white house. what's going on? >> scott, there has been a crowd gathering over the past few hours. it's gotten much, much larger in the past 30 minutes or so. service move towards that front gate of the white house. just trying to protectively get things under control, or watch for any threats. but you have a mix here. you have got chants of black lives matter, you have got anti-donald trump chants, you have pro hillary chants. i see, red, white, blue balloons. some singing the american anthem. and other patriotic sounds earlier. so it is sort of hard to in many

exactly where sentiment is. sounds just as confused as many of the political experts have been in predicting this outcome. >> margaret, thank you very much. january 20th, there is going to be a new resident in the most splendid of all public housing in america. there on pennsylvania avenue. charlie rose has some insightful panelists for us to listen to right now. charlie. >> indeed, scott. i began with frank. tell me, what do you think? >> this is inconceivable, five, six hours ago. first, all exit polling should be banned. the fact is the numbers were wrong. all the way across the stable. the 5:00 p.m. second wave got it wrong. second, still a hidden trump vote. people who refused to tell pollsters who they voted for will not acknowledge it.

woodwork tonight. how do you address the anger? those are the people who want to tear up and blow up washington. they're going to have to figure out a way to work with them, the house, the senate. this is going to be the most chaos we have seen in washington in a long, long time. >> your belief is that trump has won? >> yes, had a chance to look at counties. i believe fromle will be the next president. >> peggy? >> there are, we should keep this in mind, tens of millions of americans who tonight who are experiencing this evening not only as a political event, and a an historical event, but as a spiritual event. they feel grateful, they feel they are, rebuking a decayed establishment that earned a rebuke in 25 ways. spoke to a friend, major trump supporter, told me, just speck to him. i said how did you react when you realize the this was going to happen?

he said it was 9:00 p.m., and i burst into tears. this is really going to be something. he said, but it is the right thing we are certain. i leave it there. >> we often saw in this campaign, when the focus was on donald trump, his numbers went down. when the focus was on hillary clinton. her numbers went down. my question at this hour, of this election day, was this a -- victory for trump or a loss for hillary clinton? was it about trump? or clinton? argue this isn't a victory for trump. his people came out in the right places in the right numbers. and brought an extraordinary upset. one of the, the largest in american history. >> not just political upset in america in history if he goes on to win this. >> my gosh in our lifetime, certainly. >> dewey defeats truman since

politics, more cool, more ruthless. more personal than any i have seen in my lifetime. he has a huge burd in if he wins this election to do some form of outreach to say this is a single country. and not, not used up, groups, to, to attack. in that way. i don't know if he is capable of that. but every president has that. and this president more than others. >> if he wins not only the biggest upset of memory, is it also the most transformative election because of who he was, how he campaigned and what he did? is it? >> i think that's fair. foreign policy, this is a total change from the reagan foreign policy. >> change from the bush foreign policy. i mean it is a removal, almost like kicking away from the past 15 years. i think is how. >> and his supporters, must say. trump said he would do this.

his supporters too, all along, said they were going to accomplish what they accomplished tonight. it is quite an achievement. >> but they, the problem is, i have talked to supporters a lot in the last year. for your show. >> right. >> they want revenge. they dent waon't want cooperati. >> what does revenge mean? >> get even, the people in washington and wall street who did them down. >> what do you mean get even? >> got even buy businesses who got rich and sent jobs, get even with a society they think turned against them. one thing trump people half in common, they think they lost their america and they want it back. >> there is also confidence in a trust government. dow jones futures are going, down, down, down with great concern. >> that does feel like brexit. it does. very similar up turning of the establishment and then the financial establishment beginning to quake and quiver.

>> he won't be able to populate with loyalists. he will need republicans. >> of course not. of course not. >> people like senator corker, secretary of state possibility. would be reassuring to foreign countries. make moves like that. >> okay. this question too. what's the possibility this election will be challenged and will half months and months of -- >> we'll see what kind of a margin we are looking at end of the night. if this is close, close, looks like may be movement in the area of questioning certain state outcomes. if it seems more definitive than that, i would think it appropriate that it be accepted and i would kind of expect that. although, mrs. clinton is not someone who, she is like trump, neither of them would be quick to do a concession speech. so we'll see how that goes. >> this is not about them. this is about their voters. their voters are going to

house. mark my words tomorrow those protests are going to grow. little dakota's nose was quivering in fear. because it knew an ordinary tissue was near. the fiery tissue left her nose sore and red. so dad slayed the problem with puffs plus lotion, instead. puffs have pillowy softness for dakota's tender nose.

a nose in need deserves puffs, indeed. now get puffs plus lotion in the squeezable softpack. i really did save hundreds of dollars on my car insurance with geico. i should take a closer look at geico... geico has a long history of great savings and great service. over seventy-five years. wait. seventy-five years? that is great. speaking of great, check out these hot riffs. you like smash mouth? uh, yeah i have an early day tomorrow so... goodnight, bruce. gotta tune the "a." (humming) take a closer look at geico. great savings.

this is the closest presidential elect icing have covered. in a number of states, extraordinarily close vote tallies. go to anthony mason, who can explain? >> we wanted to look at the exit polls to see what the recipe is for motivating trump voters. you could kind of, remember 1976 film network and, i'm mad as hell not going to take it any more. a howard beal coalition.

the federal government. 93% said the country is on the wrong track. 77% said the fight with isis is going badly. 57% told us trade is taking jobs away. i remember going back a decade, hearing middle class voters in ohio tell me they felt that washington protected the rich and protected the poor and forgot about them. in the last 16 years the median income in the country has not moved. that is a res cipe for anger. >> you room apart. this is where paul ryan had the victory celebration tonight on his re-election for his ninth term to the house of representatives. and we are told that earlier this evening, paul ryan called donald trump and congratulated him on his big night and they say he had a, they had a very nice conversation. it is a very interesting dance we're going to see between these two if donald trump does pull out this victory. because you may recall that a month ago after that tape was

which donald trump talked so rudely and lewdly alobout women. paul ryan was so offended he said he wasn't going to defend him anymore and wasn't going to, campaign with him. that really angered a lot of trump supporters. and tonight, some are saying that trump should do everything he can to keep paul ryan from being re-elected as speaker. so you have got a real drama going on here in wisconsin. aside from the fact that this by the way when we first came out here, a few days again to cover this, we didn't come here to cover it as the a battleground state. we cam to cover the battle between trump and ryan. it only became a battleground state today. really. people really missed what was going on here. >> chip reid in wisconsin for us tonight. also we should make note, that -- the democarts needed to peck up five seats in order to take control of the senate. and they have failed to do that.

why do protein drinks taste chalky? then get worse? introducing protein shots from 5-hour energy. protein shots from 5-hour energy are smooth and tasty, and still deliver 21 grams of protein with 100 calories. they're great for workouts. so great that if you don't get up to re laps, more distance,

>> as we come to the end of the unprecedented presidential election. we take a lack back at some memorable moments including a few you might prefer to forget. ? ? >> here in our small state. >> inspired by the future. >> i am proud to announce. >> i have decided. >> i am running for president. >> it's nobody's turn. it is everybody's test. it is wide open. >> i won't talk about jeb bush. i will not say, i will not that he is low energy. i will not say it. >> it's lyin'.

>> you called women you don't like. fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals. >> only rosie o'donnell. >> you know, kiss, kiss. when you're a star they let you do it. >> donald trump is a phony, a fraud. >> we will win at the border. >> i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody. i wouldn't lose any voters. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total complete shutdown of muslims enterinhe states. >> have you even read the united states constitution? i will gladly lend you my copy. >> let me say something that may not be great politics. and that is that the american people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn, e-mails. >> me too. me too. >> you talk about leveling with the american people have you always told the truth. >> i have always tried to.

>> i am with you. i will fight for you. and i will win for you. >> because, hillary clinton, my daughters, now take for granted that a woman can be president of the united states. >> after all when there are no ceilings, the sky is the limit. >> i have much better judgment than she does. i also have a much better temperament than she has. >> ooh, okay. understand either one of you. >> it is just awfully good that some one with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the lawen our country. >> because you'd be in jail. >> do you make the commitment you will ak absolutely accept the result of this election. >> i will tell you at the time. keep you in suspense. >> that's horrifying. >> this is not the way we do it in the united states of america. >> none of us want to wake up wednesday morning and wish we had done more.

time energy and money in my life. >> don't boo. >> don't boo. vote. captioning funded by cbs it's wednesday, november 9th, 2016. this is the "cbs morning news." on to all republicans and democrats and independents across this nation, i say it is time for us to come together as one united people. >> after a long night, donald trump has been elected 45th president of the united states in a stunning upset.
