[ laughter ] when it gets around 57, i bring the yacht around. [ applause ] the other big news is that trump appointed ben carson as his secretary of housing and urban development. [ laughter ] that means that trump talked with ben carson and al gore in the same day which is -- [ laughter ] kind of like popping an ambien before you watch the weather channel.

not trying to turn him into an al gore. . think we will do ok he is an interesting character in that he is talking about things like -- if you want to have something really secure, you sign it and put it on paper and have a cure your ticket -- courier take it. that is actually how you make sure that you don't have something that can be duplicated and disappear. anything on a phone call can be vulnerable. sense, we hear what he says, that is probably the most important thing for him to know. as president, everything he says and does could be listened to, a could have an effect. i am happy that he gets that part. a time getting him and others to really get the importance of what we can do with technology for our broad world. to the question of hacking and privacy. people understand that, don't they? then: i think some of president-elect's cabinet places have been concerning what we talk about privacy, or issues of encryption. these will be important conversations that we will have going forward. one piece of legislation we pass

now with dick ey and al gore and joe biden became a partner.is a powerful position and i think it's uniquely powerful in this white house and in this town where mike pence is the only one with a real connection to the capitol. donald trump is going to have to overly rely on mike pence to have all the relationships with the capitol. >> there might be tension terry, because mike pence, conservative republican, republican leadership in both the house and senate right now. donald trump to the extent he's got an ideology more of a hodge-podge, a little from column a and b. >> this represents a takeover or a transformation of the republican party. small government? not necessarily. he is promising some very, very big government expenditures and infrastructure and health care he seems to have a different idea than the traditional reagan conservatives that you hear in the congress right now. this is a transformative moment for the party. >> watching this, you get the sense on the one side you have got donald trump playing possom and the leaders thinkin

different than the speech president bush gave in 2001 when he showed such grace and civility towards al goree had actually tied with, as opposed to lose the popular vote. so it was a very confrontational speech as you said he talked about america carnage, there are a lot of problems in america, i am not quite sure there is a carnage in the land but it was a dark speech in many ways and i think it is one that certainly appealed to his base. i don't have any question of that, his base, i think is about 39 percent of the american people, i think governing the 39 percent is going to be a challenge. i was struck by how little effort he made to reach out to the voters who didn't support him in this election. this is a president who lost the popular vote by 3 million votes. i remember talking to republicans on the night of the election and i remember a lot of them were excited that in his remarks, his victory speech he did make the point of reaching out to the rest of the country. you didn't hear that in his speech today, and i guess i am puzzleds to why. i think everyone here is kind of in agreeme

these products in a way in which he'll support it but at the same time not trying to turn him into an al gore. i think we're going to do okay on it. i will say this, he is an interesting character in that he is talking about things like, you know if you want to have something really secure, sign it, put it on a piece of paper, have courier take it in sealed envelope. that may seem absurd but my time on the select intelligence committee that is actually how you make sure you don't have something that can be duplicated, disappear. anything on a phone call can be vulnerable. in a sense we hear what he says. that's probably the most important thing for him to know is that has president, everything he says, everything he does could be listened to and could have an effect. i'm kind of happy that he bet gets that part. suzanne and i will have time getting importance of what we can do with technology for a very broad world. >> host: that goes to the question of hacking and privacy. people get that and understand that don't they? >> guest: the president-elect, some of his cabinet choices have been con

visitors to trump tower like climate change activist leonardo dicaprio and former vice president al gorengs a certain not just balance the equilibrium will you a certain nonhyper partisan perspective. >> independent. >> she's an independent who thinks very passionately about the issues. >> her husband jared became one of trump's closest con if i dans and political advisors during the campaign leading to his appointment as senior advisor in the white house. >> he calls it down the middle. he's always been a straight shooter and pragmatic. he's effective. he's really become one of the main voices in our father's life. >> he knows how to speak to my father. i think he knows how to get his point across very effectively. he became was what was really needed which was a buffer between new people coming into donald's life who had a program, a plan, or a project, some of which worked and some of which didn't work. the old people in his life who were loyalists but maybe didn't have those tools in their tool kit. >> highway jared is taking a coveted spot inside the west wing, ivanka has decided no

that does not mean i'm questioning trump's election, just as al gore experienced, the electoral collegeontrols who is elected president. but the american people by a significant majority voted for the candidate who is going to continue the affordable care act. reporter: i would follow up by asking if you reject the idea that republicans have a mandate to repeal the affordable care act? mr. hoyer: absolutely. they don't have any mandate to just repeal it as paul ryan said yesterday and president-elect trump said a few days before that. of course we are going to have an alternative and it's going to be contemporaneous with our repealing it. have that inot front of us. we did not have it first 60 four times they tried to repeal it or portions thereof and it remains to be seen what they are going to come up with. is cheap, performance is tougher and the american people ought to be looking at what are they saying they are going to do to make sure we have the affordable care we need to stay healthy and stay alive. do you have concerns over democrats relevance the next two to four years given

yeah, it was -- i'm the only guy in the world that tells a nice story about al gore, i think. but think if al gore hadn't come over. maybe he knew that that innovation had no value at all. what about another $100 billion for that darpa piece. but until you have customers, boom, we got an explosion out of it. but maybe when we build institutions of innovations somebody better raise their hand and say it's not making the pie any bigger. it's not fixing that right there. what fixes it is when somebody actually starts a business. there's been about -- you read there's 26 million companies but only six million only four million of them have only 1.4 employees. there's only two million businesses, that's getting smaller. we keep working on innovation while the part that the fires it and creates customers and creates gdp per capita, that's getting smaller but we keep working on this because that fits our confirmation bias. i think i'm going to end it with this point. but i think i can -- i think this makes sense. here's where you have hope. if you're an engineer, you look for solutio
