thank you so much, blake burman.ou would think that some of the democrats would be willing, because there's got to be some kind of alternative, and they're going to have to come to the realization that they all need to work together at some point. as tough as that is right now, at some point we all share the same common goal, and that's to help as many americans as possible. >>> well, president-elect donald trump promising huge economic growth, and the dow hitting a new lifetime high today, and we may soon see, dare i say it? dow 19,000. the dow has been in record territory ever since trump's big, historic win. even the liberal newspaper, "the new york times," is producing years of economic growth. wow. so maybe it's time for the rest of america, maybe, to just give their president-elect a chance and watch our economy grow. we're back in two with that. thank you for calling. we'll be with you shortly. yeah right... xerox predictive analytics help companies provide a better and faster customer experience. hello mr. ke

let me go to blake burman who's outside the rally, and he joins us with the latest.ey, blake. >> reporter: hi there, trish. donald trump's not even on stage here, and this is one of the more energized crowds that i think we have seen this entire election cycle for trump. he's expected in about 15 minutes or so. i guess that's probably the case, because the election is just hours away. [cheers and applause] i think you can get a little bit of a flare of what we're hearing in here. this is the fifth stop in 12 days for donald trump in north carolina. he sent mike pence here yesterday. hillary clinton will be here tonight. she closes out her campaign later tonight in raleigh, and she sent her running mate, tim kaine, into raleigh again earlier today. gives you an idea of just how important they feel north carolina is. here with part of the message from kaine in raleighing just a little while ago. >> we call it check mate. we feel like if hillary wins north carolina, she'll be president. we really feel that way. and we love what we see in early voting. of course, we take

all the other states too, right, blake burman? you're at the rally. what is the response?rter: well, donald trump's been on stage for better part of 40 minutes or so now. this is part of his closing argument, liz. you laid it out. this is the second stop of five today. he will end at midnight hour tonight. where we are right now in north carolina, this is wayne county, considered to be a bellwether county in north carolina. interesting this would be his last place in north carolina this is county which they have seen here, a slew of independents in the last four years and polling has showed that donald trump does fair better it appears with independents than hillary clinton. that might be a part of the reason why he is here today. no matter the way you shake out which way the party, which way the electorate goes, donald trump today is trying to make the final argument here on stage. he is talking about what he would do for the first 100 days, repeal and replace obamacare. decrease taxes. end regulation as he sees it. polls as you mention show that hillary clinton might hav

blake burman, thank you so much. much to talk about right now including just exactly what is a trump white house going to look like, what is the future of the republican party? i mean, you saw him there with paul ryan just a minute ago. what is paul ryan's future, you know? this is a man who said he voted for donald trump, but he wasn't actively campaigning or supporting him especially at the end. things got a little strained, shall we say. so a lot of things in question including also the democrats. how do they recover from all of this? republican strategist ford o'connell along with capris -- >> great to be here with my two favorite peel. >> we love you for it. trish: it's a big day for him. i mean, look, it's got to be monumental, you know? everybody said he couldn't do this. he did it, and there he is, president-elect on january 20th he will be the 45th president of the united states, but there's a lot that needs to happen, ford, between now and then. what is it that's actually going on? >> number one question is

i want to go to our very own blake burman who's got more on this.mated she could have been hacked five times, is that correct, blake? >> reporter: exactly right. welcome to d.c. >> thank you, sir, i like being here. >> reporter: yeah, let's start with the questions about cybersecurity appearing in the wikileaks document dump of today which you mentioned. sent from denis mcdonough to john podesta. mcdonough writes to podesta -- that in 2008. at the time, here's the mechanics of all this. mcdonough was adviser to then-senator obama, podesta was co-chair for obama's transition team. fast-forward to eight years later to the day, mcdonough is the white house chief of staff to president obama, podesta running hillary clinton's campaign. so here you have two key democratic players, one as close as you can get to the president. another as close as you can get to the current democratic nominee for president, fully aware for years of the possibilities of high-level cyberattacks and brings into focus hillary clinton's private e-mail server while at the state d

blake burman, thank you so much. president-elect donald trump's administration taking shape swiftly. a top aide to mr. trump hinting what we can expect. listen. >> whoever he does pick at the secretary of state position i think is someone he feels he has a good bond with. former new york city mayor rudy giuliani, could potentially join the administration in a high-level capacity. so the president-elect is really putting together the best and the brightest. trish: she not ruling out rudy giuliani for a key position. so what do you think? should trump be picking a loyalist like giuliani or senator corker for secretary of state or should he go with mitt romney, who criticized him very heavily but some people think he might be the best one for the job. joining me the auther of gop gps and jan morgan. good to see both of you guys. jan, you were anti-romney all along. you were furious with him when he made the comments about trump, do you still feel that way? >> i'm not saying it would be a mistake. you know the phrase har

blake burman in the white house.ke, a lot of people are wondering, is it possible for an outsider to operate efficiently on the inside when he trashed it? reporter: that is part of what donald trump, president-elect trump at this point will have to overcome. that very question. can you go about doing that? right now the transition website for example, is up and it says that he has to hire potentially some 4,000 political appointees. it is certainly a long process, and part of that started today, david over here at the white house, as the president, and president-elect for the first time sat down in the same room with each other, talked with each other. three things to note about this meeting. the first one, this was solo between the two. the president of the united states and the next president of the united states. no top aides, no top campaign aides, no white house officials, just those two. secondly the meeting lasted 90 minutes. mr. trump said he thought it would only be about 10, 15 minutes or so. there they wer

i want to go to blake burman for it. hi, blake, in the rain. >> reporter: this has been -- in the rain, here we are again, day two, out in front of tower, yes. this has been one of the outstanding questions for president-elect trump, even when he was a candidate. what would he do as he gets to the white house, before or shortly after to ensure he separates himself from his businesses. as you know, out on the campaign trail, he gave a couple different answershe said he would leave this up to his children. he said that he would put forward a blind trust. then comes this morning, four tweets that he sent out early in the morning, you read a couple of them which he basically said a couple things, one that he's going to walk away from his businesses d two would be a news conference here a couple weeks' time, december 15th which he would talk about all of this. those were the details that he gave in the four 140-character tweets. every morning there is a transition call us reporters ask questions about the transition folks and
