congratulations to howard lutnick, he's my old boss, and i think he will do a greatjob. are bringing in today and recently for a treasury secretary, this is the one choice that donald trump is not going to take as much risk with, and i think it will be very measured in bringing someone in that could potentially balance the budget over the next few years, many people hope that but the markets only come to the realisation in the last eight weeks that donald trump is going to spend money and kamala harris was expecting to spend money, and they were going to run large deficits with a lot of fiscal stimulus, and the bond market is getting worried about potential inflation. that is feeding into the stock market and the bifurcations of haves and have—nots, the lower end companies catering to the middle—class and low end consumers, and then companies like nvidia and other luxury stocks, and i'm hopeful they bring in a treasury secretary who is very measured. the names touted have all sounded like good names to me. we touted have all sounded like good names to me. we have got to

you're live at howard university there in washington, dc. this is where vice president harris's campaign is headquartered for election night. she has said that howard university has shaped her into the person she is today. can you tell us what's planned there tonight? madison. >> well good morning gasia. yes, it is vice president kamala harris's alma mater. she is expected to be here tonight for her election watch party. before that, she is at the naval observatory doing several radio interviews with all seven battleground states, trying to really just get the last of those voters to perhaps undecided voters, to maybe sway in her direction. so that's what we're expecting here today. the energy is high across the country, and especially here in washington. >> madison, we've seen both presidential hopefuls make a direct appeal to young voters in particular. there are thousands of them right there at howard university. can you tell me how the youth vote might affect today's outcome? >> well, the youth vote is huge, especially with this new gene

howard let make, in the running. how are trying to poison scott last week. nobody who ever worked for soros should get this job. howard basically gets told over the last couple of days, it's not going to be you. elon musk is a hail mary pass. he knocks the wind out of the ring. he is now calmer secretary. but oddly, trump could end up with some really qualified candidate to be treasury secretary, right? you still have scott besson in the mix, but now you have kevin wash, and you got mark rowan. two hugely successful guys who deeply understand global markets, deep business, small business, and the type of guys you might not necessarily be down with executing trump's extremely inflationary policies. >> robert is cycling around there as well. he is circling, right? before we get too far into the treasury rabbit hole, i think it is interesting about the congress announcement himself. he talked about, this guy will be implementing my trade and tariffs agenda. the tariff these of course is a huge part of president-elect trump's economic policy. he also said -- he

i saw the clip saying we have to to do what howard dean did. now we have to do with the republicans did. they have been running a 50- state strategy for quite some time. what they do what we don't, they run candidates for every office in the united states of america, often financed by billionaires like the coke brothers. they run for school board, state representative, they run for city council, we have to do that. -- once said politics is simply war by another means. republicans learned that lesson and practice it. we have yet to do that. i actually think harris ran a very good campaign. i don't criticize it, and i don't think the dnc did a terrible job, i don't criticize the dnc. but, we are still not-- giving the states money is not enough. we have to go set up an organization which may be a parallel organization that is outside washington, and that it's well-financed. and i think the business community, the democrats and the business community will get this before the people inside the beltway-- i don't want to diss people inside the beltwa

at a speech at howard university in washington, d.c. supporters she concedes the election but promised to not give up the fight on issues like abortion rights, gun violence, and the protection of democracy. she congratulated donald trump in a phone call earlier and pledged to ensure a peaceful transfer of power. projections from cbs news partners in the u.s. showed donald trump pass to the winning target of 270 electoral college votes and he will return to the white house for a second term. president biden also congratulated president trump on his victory and invited him to the white house. in a phone call president biden said he was committed to ensuring a smooth transfer of power and highlighted the importance of bringing the country together. president biden himself is do to address the nation tomorrow. projections show donald trump won many key swing states including pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, and georgia. there are states still counting, but not only that. donald trump won the popular vote and described his victory as magni

so i took the stage at howard university. she thanked her supporters. she sang to she sang president by then she launched one last broad side against donald trump by referencing that peaceful transfer of power. well, that's something we know that the president elect has not always been such a fan of. but what really stood out to me was how similar for speech sounded to of a 2016 concession speech of a hillary clinton to the saying that and to donald trump, both women in their speech says, reminded their supporters of that. so the health of a constitutional democracy does not only depend on the governments but to, but also on citizens, a commitment to values like the rule of law, like fairness and dignity for all. of course, however, there were some differences if you remember, hillary clinton's famous light and his speech was directed at all to the little girls. she was reminding them that they were powerful and valuable and deserving of every opportunity for campbell. a harris's party directed her message, the young people saying it was ok to be disapp

president donald trump nominating howard lutnick to, secretary.his is what he said -- commerce secretary. this is what he said. he will lead our riff and tra agenda with additionl direct respsibility for the office of united states trade presentative. that's a big job. >>does this mean the ambassador of ustr reports now to howard lutnick? for anybody that wants to do a trade deal with the united states, this is so you want to talk to. wilbur ross was at the head of those trade negotiations but pretty quickly you realize the individual who really understood the legality of traders robert lighthizer and he quickly moved onto him. and a lot of questions on what executives means because it looks like he has an expanded portfolio beyond commerce. >> legality smegality. is there a cohesive strategy? what is that cohesive strategy and how is that going to get through? i think ultimately, the legality, ok, we can negotiate and figure out what's going to happen. what is the strategy? that i think is not so clear sometimes. manus:manus: the guiding light fo
