establishment as it gets. gets. so i think if you really pay pay attention you are a trumpru drain the swamp guy none of these appointments do it forintm you. >> david i'm surprised 'causeor you're a'm sur republican,. atima let me ask you what do you think of president-elect's choices. >> i agree with david. [laughter] but i would say along somens of his choices some have beenese outside the box.e box they have been very much like lk the fox guarding the hen t house. you've got, you know, perry pry who is a former governor but but then he wanted to get rid of rio the department energy but alsoey his state benefited from a lot l of department of energy initiatives such as, you know,no specifically the -- i forget specifically --if >> uric perry right now.c >> yeah, ipe am -- so rick -- so, on oil and specificallycifil onaje rally gas down there. so, looking at a lot of the t

establishment and i -- itishm seems to me this is aen signalil that trump is going to turn itni over. over he's going to almost georgegeore bush-like, he's going to say, sy hey, guys, you know whatw you're doing, you run it. i >> we'll see. we'll see. >> all right. we will see very soon in fact.a. guys thanks so much for thak coming in. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you. our first ourir glimpse at voter sentimentme since the election.sincthe >> that's right.righ 47 percent of voters have a favorable view of donald ump.p. 51 percent still have an unfavorable opinion. as for kiss cabinet picksinicks voters are split.re sit 44 percent approve, 46 percent disapprove so, you know, notno n surprising. ing about interesting about the opinion polls coming outn pl is i can't remember thes lastas time you had a presidentrent leaving office barack obamafi br his numbers dipped for quites pd awhile kind of on the upswingheg as he's leaving office. oic >> i fonder this is what we'rets seeing overall when we still s look at sort of the numbers nbes and people whether theyeoplet disapprove or how they approve o of the president-elect if pre that's the reason we're seeing that.sieaso >> we'll see what happens.ha >> all right, well, shouldppweld they know befor

electors, 50 of them have nowav signed this letter to the thi director of nationals intelligence james clapper and they say this. jam theyth say teyhey want an intelligence briefing beforeor they cast these ballots. now, let's be clear aboutbout this. this is unprecedented jim.im. this has never happened happe before. we're not even quite sure,sure friend, how this would work.oulr you know, would they do it do i here at the capitol? wouldou they do it in their respective t state capitols? capitol >> would they even do itismevenm before they even cast theset the votes. who knows.o. >> yeah. >> reporter: we're again, we're sailing on uncharteredered seas. seas. this is what happened. iwhat they made the coast to t coast t clapper. there's also we should pointin out some republican rumblingsums out t this. senator lindsey graham revealing he believes hiss h presidential campaign wasenti hacked and senator john mccainoc saying he wants some answers awe into what happened with his as s well. well so we came up here to capitolo o hill today. virginia
