president elect trump, i want to bring in our msnbc joe scarborough by phone, what are you hearing? well, kate, people close to donald trump have been working with him on selections have said that they're focus on the secretary of state selection has moved and it is moving in a new direction and they are now strongly considering nikki haley who's the governor of south carolina who famously critical of donald trump in the primaries in south carolina and in fact, did not even want to say that she was endorsing him. jacob soboroff, on the convention floor at the republican national convention it was an awkward interview. but, donald trump is going to reach out to rivals in the republican party that had been some vocal critics and is considering them for positions of administration which obviously is contrary to what we have been hearing for the first half of this week. >> and joe as far as the timing, any sense for how quickly, is this one of the first decisions they want to go public with in terms of which cabinet positions get named first? >> well, they understand th that -- their ti

msnbc's joe scarborough reporting that south carolina governor nickki haley is at the top of the list for secretary of state. rudy giuliani is shopping his name for the job. the president-elect might keep us in suspense on his staff appointments for another week. once you have made a decision, you have to live with it. >> we will talk about this possible tick and a look at what some call this tumultuous transition. also on the agenda members of congress calling on trump to rescind his appointment of steve bannon who is slated to take up a top post in the white house. >> it was incredibly troubling to hear on one night, he said he wanted to be president for all americans and elect a person who would continue the ugly divicive nature that characterized the trump campaign for so many months. >> other concerns falling on deaf ears. kelly o'donnell brings us the latest from in the trump inner circle. a new era for the party electing elizabeth sanders and bernie sanders to key roles. they tout a stronger foundation fir democrats. >> our whole leadership team is emblematic of that. >> democr

that's something that joe scarborough reported this morning on "morning joe." trump defending stephan bannon to be one of the top advisers. he was asked about him and defended him against racism and anti-semitism and addressing potential conflicts of interest that might arise in his role as president. continuing in some capacity if he were to try to run the business. there can be no conflict of interest if you are side. the "wall street journal" now reporting that nikki haley has emerged as the front-runner to be donald trump's section as ambassador to united nations and that mitt romney emerged as the front-runner to be the secretary of state. no official announcements and donald trump is leaving new york without any new cabinet selections being made. reporting from their sources that nikki haley and mitt romney emerged as the front-runners. that would be a significant widen being of donald trump's inner circle. mitt romney delivered a speech at the height of the campaign in which he blasted donald trump in absolutely withering terms. donald trump was willing

our friend and colleague msnbc joe scarborough reported donald trump is considering nikki haley . that position over the last few days seems like it was headed to the former u.n. ambassador john bolton or rudy giuliani. many people have been unhappy with those choices and were able -- eager to see others brought into the mixed. this comes through a mixed of disruptions. many people try to tear down the notion things for going off of the rails. kellyanne conway spent the day bringing a message of calm telling reporters: a government from scratch is tough stuff. -- reporters building a government from scratch is tough stuff. >> the president-elect is very happy with how it is going. he has presented with a number of choices in each of his the appointments. we have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to those. mark: a case that was not getting through donald trump went on his favorite social mega -- social media megaphone. this nikki haley thing is big. no other major personnel news speculated about. where do things stand? john: we talked about this. late, they are not running i

>> joe scarborough leading spokesperson on donald trump on this issue.ue that hasn't gotten as much attention as it deserved this presidential election. >> i think this is a second ad in the same theme on nuclear weapons. >> one released by a pac. >> then i think another one was, they got a former nuclear missile control guy out of minnesota, something like that talk about the rick of having somebody like donald trump with his finger on the button. that is really effective. not something any campaign has ever run since lbj i guess. it is very, evisceral ad. people remember, people remember that ad being, they can connect to it. i think it is, as you said timing was dead on, the fact they were trying to sort of shift the conversation. >> right. it raises the ultimate question about who do you want, who do you trust, to have their finger on that button, or close to the button even, in the time, god forbid, when we have a serious threat of a nuclear strike against the united states. with that we'll take a quick break. we'll come back and welcome, senator ti

this follows our own joe scarborough who broke the news that she's now being considered for the job of secretary of state. haley was not a vocal trump supporter during the campaign. it's worth noting her entire political career has been spent in south carolina. she has no foreign policy experience. trump's cabinet short list were in and out of trump tower during the day today but no names have emerged in the form of proposed nominations. meanwhile, nbc news is reporting that inside trump tower things are chaotic with different factions jockeying for favor, complaints that no one really knows who's in charge. today trump's campaign manager kellyanne conway responded to these reports. >> reporter: there's been reports the transition is going tricky, that it's dysfunctional. >> completely false. we're doing great up there. i was in d.c. yesterday at both transition offices, very engaged, full of energy, that's the hive of activity down there. it's a big job and president-elect trump is very engaged. federal government meeting with advisors and possible candidates for these different posit

one of our colleagues here, joe scarborough, calls it fool's gold for republicans. that's kind of what it is. it's also, potentially for republicans, if trump does well there, remember, why every year? as joy pointed out, we saw it in '04, '08, we saw it in '12, with republicans thinking they could flip p.a. or take p.a. but republicans this year felt like they have a very unique candidate. donald trump is not mitt romney. donald trump is somebody who is speaking to that working class voter, so that white man that's out in sort of the middle of the state, between pittsburgh and philly. and so there was that -- that was driving a lot of the reason for optimism on pennsylvania. and the other bellwether, looking ahead to tuesday night when the polls start to close on the east coast, what happens nah new hampshire? that is another state where the polls are tightening in a real way -- >> but so what? to be blunt. so what about new hampshire if it's not close. new hampshire matters if it's close. >> sure. >> you're right. i shouldn't cut you off. it is a bellwether. >> it

>> joe scarborough there the spokesperson against donald trump on this issue, very interesting. it's an issue that hasn't gotten as much attention as it deserved in the presidential election. >> i think that second ad is the same theme and i think another one was they got a former nuclear missile control guy out of minnesota to talk about the risk of having somebody like donald trump in charge of the button was really effective. it's not something that any campaign has ever said since lbj i guess so is a very visceral ad. people remember that ad and i think, and as you said the timing was dead on and the fact that they were trying to shift the conversation. >> it raises the ultimate question about who do you want and who do you trust to have their finger on that button or close to the button even in the time. god forbid we have a serious threat of a nuclear strike against united states. >> we'll take a quick break and come back and welcome senator tim kaine. >> this is the bill press show. >> all right, i'm going to get out of here. i believe he is in madison, wisconsin by the w

. >> joe scarborough reports that john bolton is no longer under serious consideration for secretary state and now a new name as mark mentioned has entered the fold. joe was first to report that sources say south carolina governor nikki haley is now under consideration. south carolina's lieutenant governor henry mcmaster told charleston's main newspaper they were being considered for cabinet posts. haley marked marco rubio in the primary and frequent critic of trump during the general election but she did praise trump's tone in the days after his election. >> so far he's done -- president-elect trump has done as well. i hope he continues to do that. i hope he continues to be disciplined in his comments and what happens. i don't know. i don't know what we can expect out of communication. i'm hopeful because of the tone that he's had since he's been elected. i hope that he can continue to be that same person using that same tone that includes everyone and doesn't make anybody feel any sort of division whatsoever. >> such an interesting idea. we both, joe and i have met nikki haley. wil

. >> she says that about mitt romney on sunday morning and joe scarborough this morning on on "morning." trump was furious that kellyanne conway said that. >> i don't think anybody does i well. one of the mysteries i have not figured out, why does mitt romney want this? >> what is it for him? from day one, you know that there would be eyes out for him and people troying to under min him and you have games being played by donald trump's inner circle or himself who's engaging in some sort of manipulative, good cop/bad cop thing. if i am mitt romney, i have to think, do i need this? should i spend more time with my grandchildren. that's one of the most interesting questions. i have to ask you about wisconsin, donald trump not happy with this idea of a recount but he insisted that millions of people in a tweet yesterday voted illegally, his team cited report that it has been debunked widely by fat checkers. here is what the commissioner said this afternoon about a recount. >> i think it is most unfortunate that the president-elect trump is claiming that there is huge problems with our syst

with msnbc to people is, the way i look at it is in the morning, we have morning joe, we have joe scarborough. we have a former republican congressman. we have a conservative voice for three hours every morning. and at night, you go chris hayes, you go rachel maddow, you go lawrence o'donnell, you're definitely on the left there. and in the middle of the day, and i'm doing the 4 o'clock hour right now, if we're doing our job, we're giving you the news. we're not giving you as much in terms of opinion or voice or anything like that. and i think of the old newspaper model. i mean, you've got the op-ed page. you've got very passionate voices on the op-ed page, and we have a conservative voice at msnbc, we have a couple liberal voices at msnbc. and in between, if you're tuned in for either one of those or for both of those, we wanna just give you the facts, we wanna give you the information. what i can sorta specialize in is i can try to break down the numbers and try to make some sense of it. and whatever side you're on, i'm trying to give you some information. so, that's what i see happening, i

late this afternoon, msnbc's joe scarborough said sources tell him that south carolina governor nikki haley is among those under consideration for secretary of state. rudy giuliani's name has also been floated, but trump tweeted that only he knows the >> he's making those tough decisions. if anything, he has obviously more choices than one in each position. we have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to many of those. >> here in washington, vice president-elect mike pence and his wife met with vice president biden and his wife at their future home on the naval observatory. on capitol hill, republican senators once again named mitch mcconnell majority leader. democrats picking new york's leader. >>> it has now been a full week since the election. ahead in our next half hour, voters in our area who supported trump for president will weigh in on everything that's unfolded and how they see the transition so far. >>> there was an armed robbery captured on surveillance video. shows a group of young people using social media to lure people who are selling goods then they hold them up at

. >> this morning, joe scarborough made the point at least from his assessment, rudy giuliani was not always with donald trump and seemed in some ways shocked that giuliani would say i don't want to be attorney general but secretary of state, something he does not have background or experience in and john bolton seems to be, again, according to joe, a donor favorite but this was a person who supported the the iraq war. goes against a lot of trfrp's policy. who's pushing these names? >> each of them push their own names. rudy giuliani had been looking at attorney general according to my sources but it seems like he can have his pick of the litter because i know that joe was saying he hasn't been so loyal to donald trump but truly been one of his most loyal and visible aides on the campaign trail. he opened for donald trump at multiple campaign rallies an always on the air trying to defend him. sometimes, he did it better than other times but he would certainly be someone very much on team trump. john bolton not necessarily quite the same way and he goes against a lot of donald trump's

>> joe scarborough, they have seen the phenomenon from the beginning. >> yeah, go ahead, steve? >> yeah, no, i mean, look, i couldn't have been more wrong about this. i said she was going to be at 323 to 340 electoral votes. i thought it has been over for weeks. you called it right in the primary. but you know early on -- but i get what you're seeing here is just such a backlash in the country against the establishment of the country. a business establishment. a political establishment. a media establishment across the board. and it's -- really it's the collapse of trust in institutions that fuelled the brexit vote. and it fuelled this vote. steve bannon was right when he talked about the similarities between brexit, about a rising populism, and this phenomenon is playing out in all the democracies. and this significant election, they say in france, that she can't win, at a 40% ceiling. we'll see. but this phenomenon is not going what any time soon. >> i think part of it may well be that secretary clinton, the fact that she wouldn't be president didn't scare people into voting f

you look at polling in wisconsin, in pennsylvania which joe scarborough likes to call fool's gold. >> we are excited about the battleground states in florida where mr. trump is 130,000 votes ahead of where the ticket was. 140,000 votes ahead of the pace. the gap between republicans and democrats of north carolina doing much better there. we talk about ohio and iowa. we are three of the last four polls showed mr. trump leading. new hampshire is feeling good. >> some say that isn't enough. >> we feel good about nevada. the absentees and on election day the turn out operation will do it. in the state of colorado on friday, republicans pulled ahead of democrats for the number of ballots returned. similar to washington state. you can turn them in on election day. where's the battleground? michigan. plenty of states to get past 270. >> if you lose there are you done? toast? >> michigan? oh, no. we have a good opportunity to win. it's not a must win. two weeks ago if we had this conversation with all the candidates, mr. trump, secretary clinton, president obama, bill clinton, all in michigan

our friend and colleague msnbc joe scarborough reported donald trump is considering nikki haley .

also today, you've got the president-elect's senior adviser denying a report to msnbc's joe scarboroughnamed source said donald trump is furious at comments kellyanne conway made about potential secretary of state pick mitt romney. >> i'm reflecting what the grassroots are saying. >> all right. >> they feel a bit betrayed to think you can get a romney back in there after everything he did. >> a lot to talk about. we have kelly o'donnell on capitol hill, blake mccoy in the capital of wisconsin in madison. here in new york outside trump tower, inside the lobby i should say, the reporters inside spotted a podium with donald trump's name being apparently wheeled into the elevator and upstairs. tbd on what that's for. we could see more cabinet announcements today. there is a lot of drama and intrigue around the secretary of state position. >> well, the clue of a lectern being rolled into the elevator suggests there is a planned state of mind of some sort or perhaps a video. whether it is live or an announcement, it is the kind of classic trump move to give us a crumb and let us try to fill i

. >> here's the vice president speaking with joe scarborough today. >> we're all asking about donaldmp. we're talking about a guy who is connecting with those workers in scranton, pen pnsylvania, and w is connecting with those white-working class voters in a way you have in your entire career and in a way hillary clinton is not. you can just look at the numbers right now. that is is that? >> that's why i'm going to be living in pennsylvania, ohio, michigan. >> why is that? >> i -- i think it's two reasons. one, i think the democratic party overall, hasn't spoken enough to those voters. they've done the right thing for the voter. they haven't spoken to them. >> and i misspoke. that was july. that wasn't today. what's the issue there and would biden have done any better you think? >> i think biden could have done a lot better because he at least recognized there's a lot of pain in these communities and what the vice president said there is vani very true, that a lot of voters feel very ignored and wanted some be what recognized they were struggling and who sold a political narrative th

. >> let me ask you quickly because joe scarborough, during these hours likes to talk about the factocrat. and he is a new yorker. he is a dyed in the wool new yorker, which by definition means that you tent to talk about social things like taking care of those who are less fortunate than you are. it's a very open in terms of things like same-sex marriage. how much are we going to see the new yorker in donald trump as he governs? >> well, i think quite a bit. and i think that's great. i mean, we don't want to get back to the culture wars. and we would like to have a health care system that's going to take care of the most vulnerable of americans. i mean, that's not the message you got from the mitt romneys. >> frank buckley, from george mason university, good to see you. and happy thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving to you. take care. >> still ahead, the brexit effect sweeping the uk means americans are now getting more bang for the buck in britain. we'll get a look at how folks abroad are cashing in on a few thanksgiving traditions including black friday. we'll be right back.

joe scarborough has been giving trump advice, we saw michael wolf visiting steen bannon earlier thiseanine pirro visiting trump tower, pierce morgan on the phone, mike huckabee of fox for a meeting and we know sean hannity and trump have a long-term relationship. that was trump's favorite show to go on during the primaries and general election. ben, what do you make of this list? is it surprising at all that the select trump will have these favored journalists? i will add one more, fox host eric bowling in contention for a commerce department job according to "politico." >> how about the fact that steve bannon who is the former ceo of breitbart is the chief strategist for the white house. there is a cozy relationship between trump and some members of the right wing media, again, not unprecedented. president obama drew staffers from the left wing media as well i think for people to take that out of context is a little bit foolish, but obviously -- >> you would say left wing media, i wouldn't call "time magazine" left wing but jeff carney did come over from time. >> some of us would. t

one of our colleagues here, joe scarborough, calls it fool's gold for republicans. that's kind of what it is. it's also, potentially for republicans, if trump does well there, remember, why every year? as joy pointed out, we saw it in '04, '08, we saw it in '12, with republicans thinking they could flip p.a. or take p.a. but republicans this year felt like they have a very unique candidate. donald trump is not mitt romney. donald trump is somebody who is speaking to that working class voter, so that white man that's out in sort of the middle of the state, between pittsburgh and philly. and so there was that -- that was driving a lot of the reason for optimism on pennsylvania. and the other bellwether, looking ahead to tuesday night when the polls start to close on the east coast, what happens nah new hampshire? that is another state where the polls are tightening in a real way -- >> but so what? to be blunt. so what about new hampshire if it's not close. sure -- >> you're right. i shouldn't cut you off. it is a bellwether. >> it's an indication of where this thing i

. >> joe scarborough said, he talked to people in the room, i'm not sure -- there were nbc folks there, wasn't harsh at all. >> what did you hear? >> it was a dressing down. >> good natured dressing down? >> not entirely. he called the press coverage unfair. one person described it like something out of the godfather, bringing together the families, they think they're going to have a moment of peacemaking and it turns out they're all kind of getting killed at least politically inside of that room. trump sent a signal to all these executives that he's president, he won in his mind without the press' help, without fair coverage, and he's going to remain confrontational. >> puts them on their heels. >> can i ask you a personal question, may want to avoid like a hot rock, as a prominent member of the print media in d.c., do you fear trump at all in any way? >> no, not at all. i think the press needs to be -- >> some people say i don't want trump coming after me. >> he calls people out. he did during the campaign. >> we had rough and tumble times with presidents in the past. i think the pre

thing that we are learning this morning comes from kellyanne conway who was on msnbc talking to joe scarboroughand she said one of donald trump's priorities in the first 100 days is not necessarily going to be going after hillary clinton, despite all those chants of "lock her up" that we heard out on the campaign trail. here's what she had to say about that this morning. >> i think when the president-elect, who's also the head of your party now, joe, tells you before he's even inaugurated he doesn't wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message, tone and content to the members. and i think hillary clinton still has to face the fact that a majority of americans don't find her to be honest or trustworthy, but if donald trump can help her heal, then perhaps that's a good thing. >> reporter: and, carl, in terms of what to expect today, i talked to hope hicks inside trump tower just a little while ago. i asked her if we should expect any major names to be rolled out and she didn't think early this morning necessarily there would be any major news, so we'll be waiting to hear through t

>> i'm strongly -- >> you have a long memory joe scarborough. >> like three days ago.ody in the press remembers that. >> people were freaking out. >> nobody in the press remembers they were using these papers to freak out saying donald trump must accept the results that election night or else, or else, or else democracy itself was at risk. so wake up your children and tell them that based on reporting from one month ago, democracy is at risk. we sit perched, sir. the republic on a razor's edge. >> are you making fun of liberal media? you stop it. plus, ari fleischer has been side a president's inner circle. what does he make of the white house transition now under way? the former press secretary to bush 43 joins the table to rub it in my face next on "morning joe."

joe scarborough corrected him on the spot and said, he was not yelling and the wall street journal saide was speaking in a calm tone. she believed that live from our dishonest media. i hope trump continues to stand media.his incredible they are so dishonest. the new york times is ridiculous. host: let's focus on this agenda question. him him thatd youtube video say what he wants to do in the first 100 days, what made you happy and what did not resonate with you? caller: everything he says makes me happy. it has only been president-elect for 12 days. let's wait and see. calm down, everybody. you are encouraging people to criticize him. i want him to close the border and deport the illegal criminal aliens first, and create jobs. actually, get the government out of the way. host: how does he do that? caller: and i want him to continue to confront the dishonest media. they have been lying for a year and a half, and so many people bought all their lives. -- lies. host: the building of the wall, his immigration policy, you need a team around him. he has to make 4000 plus appointments. the was

like rebuilding or what would you describe the word to be, as they move forward, the party of joe scarborough democrats may have the upper hand in sort of rebuilding and doing that listening tour that ed rendell is talking ability, if hillary clinton wins, how do the republicans navigate from here on out? >> well, i think there are two tracks that the republicans have to follow. first of all, if donald trump loses, he will have done a huge favor for the republican party in the sense of showing that the traditional three-legged stool of the reagan revolution needs a little rebuilding and refurbishing. that means two tracks. >> just a tad. >> by the way, ben, i'm starting to hear even republicans who were extraordinarily hostile towards donald trump over the last three to four days saying, we need to learn something from this guy. >> totally. >> i have heard it all year. i'm now hearing it. i think i'm hearing it and you're hearing it because they're seeing michigan in play even though it will probably go to clinton. they're seeing pennsylvania in play even though it will probably go to clinton

. >> i will say to joe scarborough's point there.race. it contributed to the fact that he was blocked from getting a federal judgeship. >> a long time ago. >> he has been in the senate. he has a record that can be scrutinized. though comments can be scrutinized. >> they will be for sure. >> leaving out a lot of details about what he actually did as attorney general in alabama and what he did as u.s. deeds. he says the u.s. attorney general in alabama he filed several cases to desegregate alabama that schools. diverse state in alabama that. led to prosecution to the son of the senior klansman and not only put him in jail but made sure he got the death penalty for killing a young plaque child. this is someone who when it has mattered has gone to the line in a way that has nothing to do with racism. it's the way the left works. don't deal with policy, impugn the motive. >> when you get spanked at the polls, that's what happened last week on election day when the democrats have nowhere else to turn, they have to nitpick somewhere and fin

bill: joe scarborough leading spokesperson against donald trump on this issue.sue that hasn't gotten as much attention as it deserved in this presidential election. >> i think this is a second ad in the same theme on nuclear weapons. bill: one released by a pac. >> then i think another one was, they got a former nuclear missile control guy out of minnesota, something like that to talk about the rick of having somebody like donald trump with his finger on the button. that is really effective. not something any campaign has ever run since lbj, i guess. it is a evisceral ad. people remember that ad being, they can connect to it. i think it is, as you said timing was dead on, the fact they were trying to sort of shift the conversation. bill: right. it raises the ultimate question about who do you want, who do you trust, to have their finger on that button, or close to the button even, in the time, god forbid, when we have a serious threat of a nuclear strike against the united states. with that we'll take a quick break. we'll come back and welcome, senator tim kaine
