we will hear from the chief of staff katie walsh and rnc chief strategist and medication strategist, sean spicer and others. this should begin shortly. [inaudible conversation] [inaudible conversation] republicans are meeting today here on capitol hill to discuss how they will proceed with a joint republican government at the capitol hill club. we will be hearing from the chief of the national committee chief and their role and we will take a look at what goes into the preparation of new members of congress and how newly elected members get prepared to take their post. >> through what happens to these newly minted members of congress, the congressional management foundation, mr. fitch, good morning. >> good morning. could you. could you tell us a little bit about your foundation and its role of preparing those in congress. >> the congressional management foundation is in its 40th year. we will were started by former members and staffers who wanted more assistance in the management, the running of the small businesses, and that's what they are, and over time we've actually added an el

there is also katie walsh, the chief of staff at the rnc. she is in contention to be the deputy chief of staff in the white house. john bolton as secretary of state. remember we reported that newt gingrich was interested in the job as well as rudy giuliani. there is former senator jim talon as well looking 59 the department of defense and romney who is mitt romney's niece out of michigan and the chair of the republican party in michigan being considered to run the rnc. a lot of names and familiar names and more surprising names and certainly laura ingram and a conservative host being a press secretary. it seems like right now donald trump is still figuring out who is going to lead his government alongside of him. they were going to be presenting him with three to five names of each of the top cabinet positions to go over and meet with folks. that's all happening as rapidly as they can do it. the campaign stressed for reporters and everyone else to have patience with them as they navigate this process. >> not to mention names like rudy giulia

i was talking to their chief of staff the other day katy walsh who headed up this work and they invested $75 million in improving upon the infrastructure from 2012. the investments happen there. one of the big problems or the challenges that we'll have from here to election day is that while the rnc has built an incredible infrastructure usually what happens is that the rnc will marry that with the campaign infrastructure that the candidate has built through the primary process and through the summer months. donald trump hasn't done that. what he has done is essentially outsource his organization to the rnc. so, you know, the difference is dan will tell you having a dnc and a clinton organization that both built very impressive infrastructureses the rnc's impressive infrastructure but not much of one from trump that does provide a bit of an advantage. >> so, you -- does that cause you concern today, four days out? >> it does. but one of the things that's happened in the last few days as donald trump has begun to stay on message and we have seen a contrast on the issue of obama care premi

he appointed katie walsh his chief of staff at the rnc, the youngest woman ever to run a national political party. if that says something about who reince will be looking at within the trump administration, i once again think that's a very good thing for the republican party. >> fred, as you've been listening to the conversation here, the question might be at least we discussed this today on msnbc, might they bring in now as future decisions will be announced, might they bring in a centrist democrat? might they bring in somebody who as you bring in this team of rivals, right, to work together that is a variety of perspectives from all across the political spectrum and for that maer from across the country that might react to who brought president-elect trump to the white house? do you see that as a possibility? >> it's very hard to prognosticate as a democrat. if he did something like that, a big if, it would show that he understands that the mandate, if there was one from tuesday, it's murky, let's not forget, richard, if not for a switch of 58,000 votes total in wisconsin, michigan, and p

the team at the rnc, chris carr, our political director, garrett lancing, who runs the digital, katie walsh staff, have all been working tirelessly to help this campaign and i think all of us frankly just spent the last 36 hours excited and happy and we'll see where it goes from there. i know that everyone wants to make sure we help donald trump and his team be successful and -- but it's too early for any of those questions to be asked right now. >> i suspect that's a very diplomatic answer. maybe state department, maybe a role as the state department, some senior position there. we have john king with us, he has a lot of experience covering the white house over these years. he's got a question for you. >> let me echo the congratulations from wolf. i hope there's a well-deserved beach in your future before that great seat at the inauguration. you are a very smart person when it comes to messaging and strategy. i'm wondering if donald trump, the tone donald trump sets early on, you remember the early days of the obama administration. i'm not trying to assign blame to which side but the repub

katie, i was in a room like -- is thisars ago the party you wanted to see? what is your message to the all right and white supremacists who now feel involved in donald trump's party? ms. walsh: i think the voters spoke pretty clearly. donald trump is going to get 276 electoral votes. again, i think this is a little bit of a inside the beltway question. you had voters come out and state that, i want change. they went to the ballot box and voted for donald trump. i think another story you will see is his unbelievable turnout with hispanics. over 30% of hispanics voted for donald trump in florida, texas, and north carolina. we spent the last couple weeks and months talking about how the hillary campaign was going to turn out hispanics. they believe donald trump is a voice for the american people that hillary clinton didn't have. walter, we had historic wins down ballot that mean huge things for the future of our party. >> thank you, katie. congressman, you nailed it. there are too many inside the beltway conversations. you are missing what's happening out there. this is not something that just happened this cycle. this has been building for a very long time. this is the culmin
