who you choose matters. >> carol lee, chime in on that.s really actually the gamut there. >> you know, if you take a step back and you look at where we were right before the election or the night of the election, what everybody's perception was of what a donald trump presidency might look like, it's breathtaking how different the tone he has set on everything from who he's considering to be in his administration to his policy proposals that he's said a number of things. we were talking about them earlier. climate change. torture. he said he's not going to look at the libel laws and embracing "the new york times" and looking at mitt romney and now you have nikki haley. it's dramatically different from what anybody would have expected and if he does indeed go with someone like mitt romney over rudy giuliani, that sends a really strong signal that he is genuine -- these are not just people that he's looking at to send signals that he's actually willing to embrace his opponents and folks that no one would have expected he would actually seriou

here with us, "washington post" reporter david nacamari, carol lee, the white house reporter for "the wall street journal" and cnn political director david chalian. cnn's poll of polls right now has hillary clinton with a four-point lead in north carolina, 46 to 42%. florida, our poll of polls, that's an average of the most important recent polls, shows a dead heat, 45 to 45%. there's still room to move over the next few days. obviously, that's why those states are getting so much special attention from both campaign also right now. david chalian, here's the question. are the races in those two states, florida and north carolina, as close as they really seem to be? >> i believe they are. quite frankly, both campaigns, they're the states that have seen the most advertising money in this campaign. this is where the biggest part of the ground game has been focused on both sides. these two states probably hold the key to the election in two ways. one, for donald trump, he simply can't get to 270 electoral votes without both of these states in his column. it's nearly impossible. >> if he l

thursday when he met with president obama in the oval office while the press was moving out and carol leehis from "the wall street journal," donald trump caught my eye. yes, and he said hi. i said hi. he said -- pointed at me, you're good. i was like, thank you. mr. president please make sure that he gives me an interview. and donald trump just nodded and the president said, she's one of the best we have. >> are you that easy? >> no! i want an interview with donald trump. >> we all do. >> you got one. >> president trump is likely to go to flint, michigan, the day after he's sworn in. his advisers feel it would not only be very symbolic about rebuilding america's infrastructure, but he might be able to solve flint's water crisis when no one else has. >> that's a good move. >> sticking with the travel theme, there's pressure building for trump's first foreign trip to be to israel or to include israel. the netanyahu government was surprised by the outcome but delighted because they absolutely loathe hillary clinton and are working through j jerod kushner to make that happen. >> how is that g

carol lee, white house reporter for "wall street journal" wmp and "washington post" reporter davis nakamura and washington bureau chief for "the daily beast." a mouth full. bakari, you have obviously perspecti perspective, someone from south carolina. you heard what jason miller said about nikki haley having experience doing basically trade negotiations. what do you hear about what must be a lot of surprise from people in your state? >> well, let me first say that i actually served nikki haley in the south carolina house of representatives. our desks sat side by side and i consider her to be a friend. i think jason miller wa oversells the experience quotient a tad. we don't deal with the complicated issues our geopolitical foes as far as her as ambassador. i applaud myself by donald trump. nikki haily is a statesman, more than competent and nikki haley surrounds herself with good people. she's an american story. she's the daughter of immigrants, and i think she will serve well for young girls throughout the world looking for a beacon of light in this trump administration. i applaud him for

heard paul say yesterday, i think that the party is going to be unified behind donald trump. >> carol leeat republicans face working with their republican president? >> well, i think they've aubl -- there obviously there's been a lot of tension. the thing i look for is republicans have passed a number of proposals during president obama's term that have been rejected and haven't moved and they have someone who actually will sign their proposals. so it will be interesting to see how much actually is moved where there's tension in terms of does donald trump accept what the republicans are sending over to him and how do they compromise? do they need to compromise. the initial thing the trump administration is going to do is go through all of the things president obama did and unravel his legacy over the last eight years whether it's executive actions or things like health care. >> so, you know, joe, on what carol was saying, i think he will engage with everybody. he loves that. he will not sign anything republican or democrat policy without getting something out of it. not one thing will be
