let me ask you, do you think romney voted for trump? >> i don't know who he voted for, but he said he wasn't going to support trump. >> it's reasonable to think he didn't vote for him. >> that's reasonable. >> what do you think about a guy working for someone he didn't even vote for? >> i think that speaks well for donald trump. he's willing to put aside personal issues to bring in someone who is a very bright and public servant, someone he thinks could help the administration, and that speaks well for our nation. >> the concern is that he will not be donald trump's secretary of state. he won't do what trump wants, he'll do what he wants. >> that's ridiculous. i think anyone who accepts it will follow his lead. >> you've never heard of cabinet members being disrespectful when a president supports them? i have. >> donald trump is the boss. that's what his whole career is about. >> let me ask you about this other name, both you guys. i hadn't thought about it, but i think petraeus is fascinating. for example, he's not quite rudy but he ha

let me ask you something, marty. when you were talking to them about the exit polls and how people got it wrong. what was your take on that? >> two things. they talk about the media. was there something we didn't do right? you focused on what the candidates were doing rather than asking what were the voters thinking. then on top of that when it came to the polls, i actually talked to one man who said he had a pollster knock on his door and ask questions and got a phone call from a pollster who asked questions and in both instances, he lied. he simply didn't tell them who he was really voting for.

. >> dickerson: let me ask you acted some work you've done in th over. you moved out some lobbyists, and in keeping with with that, donald trump told me a couple months ago that he would have no problem with having no lobbyists and no major donors in his administration at all. do you think he'll be able to keep that promise? >> well, i think the american people want to see change in washington, d.c. there's been heartbreak and administrations where we've seen an inability for washington, dc, to get anything done. and the president-elect is absolutely determined to build an administration with women and men who bring that fresh perspective and a determination on doing the people's business and not the business of special interests. so as you know, we made changes as soon as i took over the transition effort. we made changes. we moved lobbyists out of the transition team, and that's goto star, and i can tell your viewers that the president-elect is determined to move ethics reform in the next year in the congress of the united states. a lot of people around

say, let me ask you something. they let you ride the bus with those pajamas on? no, man, i drove over. well, how do you know he's qualified? well, do something. you know, break a piano, or eat a table, run through a tree. do something. grady! hey, look, mr. wilson, don't worry, i'm qualified. i'm a fifth degree black belt. did you hear that? the man's a figreefth de black belt. uh-huh. and if he messes with jojo jackson, he's going to need all 5 of those belts to lower him into the ground. mr. wilson, karate is one of the oldest forms of self defense known to man. it ain't older than running. and how do you say that, now? karr-- no, it's karate. it's a japanese word, it means empty hand. oh, well, you'd have a much better chance if you'd fill that empty hand with a .38-caliber smith and wesson. say, lookie here, sit down for a minute. let me ask you something, goose. gus! uh, yeah. uh, whatever. did you ever use any of that stuff in real fighting? no, but i have seen men get their arms and their legs, and even their skulls busted in tournaments. oh, well you don'

the reason we did not... >> dickerson: let me ask you, congressman. one argument some democrats say is democrats should not normalize, a buzz word you hear constantly, donald trump, not treat him as a normal president. what's your advice to democrats about that? >> well, we should be authentic, and he's clearly not normal. he ran on... he talked about jobs, and yet he has hurt workers all over this country; he has undermined workers. he's hurt small business people and not paid contractors. his level of abuse of working people is extraordinary. and not to mention his racism, misogany extraordinary, as well. it's hard to normalize that. we can never do it. but i would just say that it's not about donald trump. we're going to fight him because he stands against our value system. but if we make the average american's needs, our priority, people who want t people who want to see their kids go to college, people who want to earn a decent living, people anxious about the plant closing down, moving to another country and selling them back the products they us

way, paul ryan and steve bannon will work together because the president will want them to. >> let me ask you this, i have to ask you this before i let you go, we have seen a lot of names floated around. let me give you some. former house speaker newt gingrich may be a candidate for secretary of state. treasury secretary, may be a goldman sachs banker and congressman. secretary of defense, senator jeff sessions of alabama. attorney general former new york city mayor rudy giuliani. what happened to this whole idea of, quote, draining the swamp and putting in some fresh faces? these do not look like fresh faces to me. >> there will be some familiar names and faces that will be part of the mix. but that's -- >> low in the mix though. >> that's a small portion of the overall cabinet and administration of the trump government. so, let's wait to see, first off, if any of these people land the kind of positions that are being touted right now. the one thing you know and i know in this transition period, a lot of names are floated. why are they floated? to see how people respond to them. to see what

that suggests a central role in your message. >> let me ask you something. do you think they went through hundreds of thousands of e-mails in a week? that may strike a lot of americans as unusual. i don't know if i have the capacity to do that. i don't know if i would wan, as a taxpayer, fbi stopping every single thing they are doing to focus on that and i doubt they did because they are responsible men and women. >> let me be clear, in terms of the reporting here when we say hundreds of thousands of e-mails we're talking about just the total number of e-mails that existed only computer, not the total number -- this was a personally used computer, not the total number relevant to this case. do you doubt this review was thorough? >> i sure hope it was thorough. it didn't change my mind that the investigation has been mishandled from the beginning. why did we find out today the housekeeper is printing out confidential information? why did we find out in the course of the investigation that hillary clinton lied about whether she exchanged confidential informati

. >> let me ask you a direct question, we're out of time, will you filibuster a donald trump nominee for the supreme court, if they do not give you a vote on mr. garland who is the nominee of president obama. >> you've seen the list of the potential nominees, all from the far right, they don't believe in our constitutional vision of we the people and i'll do everything i can to block someone who wants to turn the constitution on its head and shred it. >> and that includes the possibility of a filibuster? >> yes, it does. >> senator jeff merkley, thank you for your time this morning. >> you're welcome. thank you. >>> next, the woman in charge of obamacare talks about republican roadblocks on the path to repeal. plus, what's new behind the new wave of hate? and intolerance in post election america. i'll talk about that ahead. >>> the trump election has not stopped people from signing up for obamacare. enrollment began earlier this month. and americans are already signing up at a faster pace than last year. more than a million have picked plans, with nearly 250,000 new signups. repealin

now, let me ask you about the -- where would your -- where would you think, let me ask you it this waysn't for the obstruction by the gop under the years that the president served. because we play on that reel how there was an increase in private sector jobs and he kept going every month. but he could increase public sector jobs because jobs bill and the infrastructure bill under obama was blocked. where would the economy be if we hadn't had the obstruction of the gop under president obama in. >> well, it is a great question. here we are in year eight of an economic expansion. that's actually a pretty long expansion and as you heard the president say, towards the end of that clip, 70 plus months of job growth, in the private sector, but we're still not at full employment. the unemployment rate is low. if you look at under employment there is still 6 million people working part time, they would rather be working full time jobs, but the plans starting with the american jobs act that congress just drop kicked out the window in 2011 would have helped us get to full employment by now. inste

let me ask you, let me ask you, you guys like this shirt? you like this shirt? [ cheers ]

they're working through a i expect they will. >> let me ask you this. you issued statements praising donald trump's choice of pompeii he would, you praised him for picking nikki haley for ambassador to the u.n. we noticed you didn't have any statements for mike flynn as national security advice or jeff sessions as attorney general. should we read anything into that? >> no. mike flynn doesn't come from senate confirmation. that's why we didn't comment. i'm not on the judiciary committee which jeff sessions will have to go th haley will go through the foreign relations committee which i sit on. pompeo will go through the intelligence committee which i sit on. i know them well and personally. i know jeff sessions. we have a good working relationship. i respect the process we have which means he will have to go through the process. at that point, i will have something to say. it's the way we have handled every nomination for the most now under president-elect trump. >> you are not ready to say if you will support the confirmation of jeff sessions as attorney

. >> let me ask you about obamacare, which you say you're going to repeal and replace. when you replace it, are you going to make sure that people with preconditions are still covered in. >> yes. because it happens to be one of the strongest assets. >> now, your better way agenda talks about spending $25 billion on high-risk pools that would help those with preexisting conditions afford insurance. where would that $25 billion come from? >> well, we actually have it paid for in our bill. you really want me to give you a technical answer to this? it gets a little technical. the point is, we have in our plan pay for doing that. here's the bigger point, jake. we agree. it's in our plan. donald trump agrees with this. we need to have a solution for people with preexisting conditions. in our plan is also allowing younger people up to the age of 26 to stay on their parents' plans. so there are aspects we've all along agreed to. >> under obamacare, as you know, millions of people were able to get health insurance for the first time through the expansion of medicaid. what is goi

me, democraticemoi strategist joline ivy.evy. they'll join us now. unow. guys, are you with us? u >> we're here.ere. >> excellent.el good to see you guys here.er let me ask you, joline right r >> yes, we can. >> okay. oy. joline let me ask you as we'ree starting to get these numbers rolling in right nowese , what t your thoughts? we just saw saw some exit polling from virginia that says roughlyouly 61 percent of voters say say hillary clinton's use that ofhaf private e-mail did bother them but it didn't necessarilyri deter them from voting to aretoa her. her. what are your early thoughtsr as we're seeing the resultsearls come in.ee >> you know, it's just se o so early in the evening and i and feel very positively about a hillary winning this thing. so, you know, r you hear whatever results areesl coming in, my question isstiois where are they coming from? fro what part of the state? s? without knowing that, you really don't have real information.inat >> i agree.>> i agree let me ask you, mike, what arehe your thoughts on this as we're'r starting to see these resultsse roll in?ll in? >> well, virginia was always a very difficult place for f donald trump.d

let me ask you about the senate. h of your senate incumbents do you consider the most endangered right now? >> i think mark kirk's going to have a touch time in illinois. that's -- we've known that for a long time. >> which other ones? >> on the flip side, i feel really good about joe heck in nevada, i think that the colorado senate race came out of nowhere and is suddenly on the map. >> are there any other ones of your income benlts that you're worried about tonight? guest: of course there are. >> which ones? guest: rondo johnson's been a fighter. he took a state that everyone put him for dead a few months ago. he's fought hard. continued to be that outsider and talked about a record that he's had over the last six years fighting for the people of wisconsin. i think he's kept a race like that unbelieveably exceptive going into the final stretch. -- competitive going into the final stretch. pat tomby. i think that's -- he's going to be a highlight of ours tomorrow. those are all races that are going to be tight, absol

let me ask you this. every treasury secretary in history has said strong dollar is in the interest of the united states. but then i see that sometimes i see that the federal reserve or even sometimes treasury -- everybody likes a cheaper currency for exports. what do we really want in this country? what will you press for? strong dollar or capital comes in? or every time we do that corporations squawk about currency headwinds. >> first of all, i think the united states is the greatest country in the world to invest in. and we see that. and we see that money is pouring into the united states for those reasons. so i think we're really going to be focused on economic growth and creating jobs. and that's really going to be the priority. >> china. currency. trump's wanted to call a manipulator. is that something you want to do? >> one of the things, wilbur and i are going to work closely together. as you look at both of us in the u.s. trade representative, this will be a coordinated aspect. there are aspects t

let me ask you about that. michigan and colorado and virginia and states that we thought were off the map. what does that say to you that the clinton campaign is on the air? >> they are running a smart campaign. it's only important to shut downstates to light upstates. they have the resources to do both at once. they haven't communicated with them and they will be able to use that as a fire wall. it's a smart move. >> let me ask you about news from the hacked e-mails with the chairman of the clinton campaign. some of these e-mails that came out stirred up hard feelings among the supporters. bernie sanders supporters who felt that at the time the democratic national committee had their thumb on it. one here is the interim chair and turns out she was an on air commentator and had been providing questions at least to the clinton campaign for the debates. her relationship with cnn and you defended her with the first hints have come out. subsequent e-mails involving another debate in flint. let me ask you about the s

. >> let me ask you a question about improving security at the border. you and donald trump both agree you want to improve security at the border. you have different views when it comes to the 10 to 11 undocumented imgraduates in the united states. this is what you said a back in april. >> i'm a person who believes that for the undocumented, we have to come up with a solution that doesn't involve mass deportation. ability to get to law to come and earn a legal status while we fix the rest of legal imillegal immigration. >> now take a listen to president-elect trump said on "morning joe" last year. >> we're going to have a deportation force. and you're going to do it humanely -- >> how are you going to pay for this? ripped out of their homes. >> they're going back where they came. if they came from a certain country, they're going to be brought back to that country. that's the way it's supposed to be. >> so congress writes the laws and controls the pursestrings, is there going to be mass deportation or not? and this isn't just a nitty-gritty details, there

you want me to sign? right over here. this won't take long. ok. mister... period. thank you very much. uh, listen, let me ask you something. now, once we get the legal line established, and someone come over put some stuff on my property, what can i do about it? anything you want. it's your land. you can even confiscate it. you mean i can keep it? you can keep it, sell it, throw it away, whatever. but listen. what if the guy that puts it there-- what if the guy that puts it there comes over and try to stop me? u know, me and you habla each other pretty good, don't we? yes. now, if you don't mind, i have to get on with my work. all right. take it easy, manny baby. hey, son. did you find somewhere to park the truck? yeah, but julio doesn't find out about what you did, man. it would be embarrassing to have to tell him that you called a surveyor. oh, listen, that's just the beginning. i'm-a have him confiscated. you can't do that. who? if i catch him trespassing on my land, i can have him arrested. if i happen to find him trespassing, i'll have him arrested and confiscated. i'll confiscate him. where you learning all these thin

. >> dickerson: let me ask you about information out this week. when hillary clinton became secretary of state she said she would let the state department know if a major donation was it turns out a major donation of a million dollars was given by the government of guitar. that wasn't mentioned, why not? >> the agreement was the clinton foundation would alert state department if anyone gave a donation materially different from what they gave before hillary clinton was secretary of state. the government there was a donor great work around the world before she came skrelt of state. the fact they're a donor is known. they were a donor before she was secretary of state. >> dickerson: this is in keeping with the memorandum of understanding. even though they gave a million dollars to the foundation she felt no obligation to let the ethics of the state department to know. >> they were clear about when notice would be required. that is if a tkpoft decided to do a contribution that was significantly different from what they had been doing before. the govern

let me ask you to respond. do you agree with that? >> whose passion are you supporting? >> the anti-trump passion, of course. i'm older than everyone in this room and i'm a student of history and i love politics and the country has not been this aggressive and passionate since ronald reagan got elected. when he got elected in 1980, the other side went absolutely dessert. i think the anti-trump folks have not gotten their message straight but i think it's good that the is anger out there. >> me start by saying i'm not a trump fan and i feel perfectly fine saying that in this room, but the thing is the people who are protesting who i know did not vote. and mike are you kidding me, there are people quite talk to just a month ago and they said i'm not voting, screw this election. then you're gonna go protest? you should've gone to vote. >> i think there are a lot of millennial's that have grown up in this era of everybody gets a trophy, so they got this little i participated sticker to vote and the like wait a minute, how did we lose. >> it would be wrong to baby children. >

let me ask you the question, if you want the get into space, you should have stayed at space x, right. >> the dna in this business is pretty thin. not a lot of people in the rocket business. a lot of us have gone back and forth between various companies. >> why start your own as opposed to staying with what we now know to be the microsoft of rockets. >> so let's go back to that era. elon called me out of the blue in 2001 and had nothing to do with rockets. wanted to send a mission to mars to show for multiplanetary species. i i was a soviet rocket. trying to prevent scientific brain drain from leaving the country. i was a bit of an expert on that. he knew he could buy russian rockets for cheap. that was his budget. >> you were his russian rocket guy. >> yes. >> so he got ahold of me. i grabbed another co-founder, john gar havevi we put together mission for him. grow a plant on the surface of mars using a russian roegt to get it there. went to moscow with mike griffin. went to buy the rockets. visit two different companies. they literally treated elon as if he wasn't serious. told him

let me ask you, let me ask you, you guys like this shirt? you like this shirt? [ cheers ] i'm going to tell you a story

. >> let me ask you about that balance you would like to see between those now inside the west wing, some of the names we've seen that are part of the national security apparatus, whether national security adviser, michael flynn, the attorney general, or the cia director-to-be mike pompeo. do you think that is where donald trump is going, or do you think he's going to build on some of these choices that he's already made? >> well, look. he hasn't picked mitt romney to be secretary of state. he hasn't picked people who are in any way, shape, or form moderates or consensus builders. mike pompeo is a smart guy but he is an extremely conservative person. he dissented from the benghazi committee report, the republicans' conclusions were not good enough for him, that's who he is. this is a definitional moment for this new president. my concern is less for who his advisers are than for who he is. the only thing his picks are telling us is who he is and who he will be as president. so far it's pretty grim. >> you brought up steve bannon, chief strategist, somebody who has received a lot of c

you -- let's get something straight. you don't dictate where you in population because that's my choice to make. >> you can't tell me your choice, my life is your choice -- >> let me askou this -- >> my life is more important -- >> let me ask you about this. can i ask you this? what you going to ask me? >> are we going to talk or am i going to be done? >> can you get me -- >> i'm going to keep you here in this room. keep you safe. >> you can't keep me locked up. >> you're in fear for your life. okay, i got you. i got you. >> i fear for my life. >> i understand you're in fear for your life. >> can you please do something now? >> i'm going to do something when i think it's appropriate. >> you think is appropriate. who give you the right? you're not a doctor. >> i run this jail. i give me the right. if something physically -- >> i fear for my life. >> what am i supposed to do? >> you're supposed to make sure i'm okay. >> you're going to be okay locked behind that door. have a good day. >> this time he's claiming he's fearing for his life. this is something he brings up each time he goes into isolation, kind of wanting to dictate his placement which i won't allow him to d

we will not let you sleep unless you give peace to the muslims. so let me ask you this question -- >> sure. adam: how would extreme vetting have stopped a man like this, he's 18, 19 years old, perhaps, comes here when he's 11, how would extreme vetting have stopped what he did yesterday? >> well, i think there's two ways. first, there are indications of certain individuals having certain interests, families. these sorts of things tend to travel within a family. this individual had exposure to certain things, and 11 years old is about the age you start seeing this sort of thing happening. and, clearly, he's been studying certain teachings. one of the things that was brought up, i believe, to be accurate he was looking at the teachings of anwar al-awlaki. his videos live on on the internet. the other thing as you pointed out in your introduction, is isis has been doing a number of things to actually call for lone wolves. again, if this is something that's being looked at, we need to look deeper at individuals who may be predisposed to doing this. so there's a lot

know, you can't say you never knew about it because i'm telling you right now it's involved. >> let me ask you a question, doctor. you mentioned cardio health. i know you could probably talk but some of the information you sent me here before the show, this is just fascinating. talks about what vitamin d does. it talks about its role in maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system. expand on that, doctor. >> well, we had the same clues as we did with mood. >> ah. >> just recently, there have been a slew of studies out of the best universities in the world, all connecting your vitamin d level to your heart health. for example, there's a study out of harvard by a very learned professor, and his conclusions were pretty stark. that is, even after they controlled for smoking, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, diabetes, body weight -- all the things known to contribute to heart health. even after they controlled for all that, there was a strong effect of vitamin d, and it was in a graded manner. but we don't have enough studies yet to say, you know, if you have heart concerns, you should take
