and he has done that i think in nikki haley. education secretary is someone we might have seen from jeb bush. mitt romney is a big bridge, because romney's criticism of trump was as pointed as we've ever heard. but maybe even more importantly, it's not clear that they're on the same page of foreign policy. mitt romney's critique was that the u.s. was being too soft on russia. and donald trump is looking for another reset with russia. so there is a lot of space between them that makes that very difficult. the attractive part is he might be able to hear some of the breach between donald trump and the foreign policy establishment, which has been the most critical part of the republican infrastructure about his candidacy. >> what are you thinking as you see these latest appointments? >> i'm frank lly thrilled. i've been very critical of his first three appointments. i'm thrilled to see governor haley and of betsy devos. nikki haley is the daughter of indian immigrants, the youngest person ever elected governor in south carolina. and

>> for depends on whether nikki haley has any power. that job he has at the un can be very important. people made a lot of it. daniel patrick morn han and kirk hat wick and samantha power. if nikki haley doesn't have much of a record, we will see if this is primarily a symbolic appointment. joe felt it. to appoint two women today. is it symbolic or will she make something bigger of this as her predecessors have done. on the base of her past record, there is reason to doubt that. perhaps she will surprise at least me by being a stronger voice than we expect. >> thanks to both of you and happy to both of you. >> and to you. thanks so much. >> thanks, steve. >> police gave an update on the deadly elementary school bus next tennessee. we will go live to chattanooga. new details from the investigation. also another live look here at chicago's o'hare airport. millions of americans are making their way to their thanksgiving destination. we will get a live report from one of the busiest airports in the united states. (sfx: park rides, music and

like nikki haley, what he's showing is leadership. the core of his team is going to be comprised of loyalists like general flynn, mike pompeo. i think he will always have a core group of loyalists at the helm. what i think he's showing is strength in leadership, that he wants his cabinet to both look like america and it's wonderful he just appointed the daughter of an immigrant. the republican castigated as being this white male party. two of the candidates are -- we can't argue about that. he also appointed the daughter of an immigrant, someone who was caustic in her criticism of him. we are seeing president-elect trump is very different from candidate trump in that once we're done, this is what democracy has to do, once we are done with a rigorous campaign, at times a bruising campaign, now we have to move on to governing this country for growth and security. >> let's see what else he does with the rest of the picks. still a lot more to come. sara, i have to tell you in the intrigue category here, as soon as i heard nikki haley this

>> i think that nikki haley is going to be fantastic for this job. i'm going to live bipartisan love for my former un embassador who was stevenson who served under president kennedy. had experience in foreign policy but really a democratic nominee for president, governor of illinois came to that role and strong in u.s. history, him going to the un during the cuban missile crisis and showing the soviets the receipts stationed out in cuba. he came in a position from being governor and nikki haley coming from the position of being a governor, she has an opportunity to being strong voice as well. i'm optimistic. i think she's going to be a bright star in this administration. jon: what should change in your view with regard to american -- america's approach to the united nations? >> what should change? i mean, right now trump is definitely trying to put together a group, a team, national security foreign policy team that's really going to be interesting in essentially what the world view is going to be. he said some things in the primary that's given a on

add nikki haley and possibly ben carson.ally, a unique report from my friend and colleague lester holt as the new york police department gets ready to keep the city safe over the holiday weekend. we'll hear from the bomb squad here in new york who respond

talk about nikki haley. you know very well, jason, trump is known to place loyalty over almost everything else, but didn't quite choose a longtime fan in this case. did he? >> reporter: not a longtime fan at all. these two clearly have had a history. right now you've got donald trump saying that this is a governor that is very good at bringing people together in crisis, obviously referring to what happened with the confederate flag and her state of south carolina, but look what happened during the primary. nikki haimly endorsed marco rubio, criticized donald trump repeatedly for not releasing his taxes, for not disavowing donald duke, former leader of the kkk quickly enough. clearly, a tenuous history. take a listen to the critics, the criticisms we've heard these two lobby at each other sort of back and forth over time. >> first of all, she's very weak on illegal immigration. very weak. she's very, very weak on illegal immigration. you can't have that. >> we need to show that south carolina makes presidents

nikki haley are floating a lot. forever secretary of state and nikki haley. she is somebody who has kelly o'donnell just reported was a rubio person critical of donald trump. bringing the rest of the party is going to be tricky and there are a lot of moving parts. tar. >> this reminds me of the reporting about kelly ayotte being considered. that was coming and we got more sources from within the campaign saying not a chance. he was not a supporter of donald trump and that was being put out there to see we were considering her. we are being magnanimous. we will find out more when it comes to the reporting about nikki haley. i want to talk more about donald trump and twitter. this is something we have been reporting on for quite sometime. he has been pretty vocal about the criticisms in his transition. just this morning tweeting very organized process taking place as i decide on cabinet and many other positions. i'm the only one who knows who the finalists are. that's from last night. he is calling the cabinet folks that he is considering finalists. what does t

nikki haley tapped to be u.s. ambassador to the u.n., and relations between president-elect trump and south carolina's governor were less than cordial. you probably remember, quite critical of each other during the election. seems to have changed, and a statement announcing haley to the u.n. ambassador to the u.n. president-elect trump said governor haley has the ability to bring people together for the betterment of her state and our country. discuss this turn e events joined by congressman adam kinzing kinzinger? what was your reaction, doesn't have a lot of foreign policy experience but also are feeling better, republicans are, because she's a little more hawkish than donald trump? >> a great pick. i mean, it shows, again, something that literally from donald trump election speech where he came out it wasn't like gloating or bragging. it was, there was a sense of humility of, hey, we need to come together as a country. we need to unite as a party and a country, and this furthers that. not just for the internal

we've seen nikki haley with mitt romney.se were enemies of donald trump and for mitt romney to go in and have this discussion with donald trump, it says something about him as well. >> agree. credit to both. and hillary clinton, we saw her last night speaking out for the first time publicly since she conceded defeat. she was at a gala. how appropriate. talk about a full circle moment with the children's defense fund who she started with back in the '70s. it was tough to appear, her speech was emotional, it was personal. here she was. >> now i will admit coming here tonight wasn't the easiest thing for me. there have been a few times this past week when all i wanted to do is just to curl up with a good book or our dogs and never leave the house again. i know this isn't easy, i know that over the past week a lot of people have asked themselves whether america is the country we thought it was. the divisions laid bare by this election run deep. but please listen to me when i say this. america is worth it. our children are worth

this is what is problematic about nikki haley. not that she has no international experience one way or another, she had a few meetings with indian business people and given her family connections. not as if she has a large. a foreign investment as governor in south carolina. she knows nothing about this particular area she is being put in. given the fact donald trump has said i want to tear up nato. get rid of the iran deal. i want to get out of the paris agreement it would matter to have someone at u.n. who knows the job. >> i do not think it is an overstatement to say that world feels as unstable and precarious right now as it any time in the last 60 years. and the u.n. is a key body to navigate that. >> yeah. although i am trying to prior advertise my outrage -- >> yes, absolutely. >> yes. it's not john bolton. >> someone with foreign policy. >> my sense is that nikki haley is within the mainstream of the republican party. she seems to be a smart talented person. south carolina has an especially nasty politics that she has navi

julianna goldman. >> governor nikki haley. >> reporter: south carolina governor nikki haley was one of the republican party's loudest critics of its vbl nominee. >> diewrs anxious times it can be tempting to follow the siren call of theang riest voices. we must resist that temptation. >> reporter: and mr. trump didn't spare her, either, tweeting in march, "the people of south carolina are embarrassed by nikki haley." but haley is now calling the president-elect a friend. >> we are currently living through what may be the most interesting time in american political history. >> reporter: haley, an indian american, diversifies the president-elect's personnel picks and helps him extend an olive branch to the party establishment but she lacking the foreign policy experience of previous u.n. ambassadors. there trump's other pick today, g.o.p. donor betsy devos, was for a cabinet post he said he education. >> she is a strong advocate for school voucher programs and charter schools and is is against common core, which mr. trump wants to abolish >> we will provide school choice and put an en

so nikki haley, when i think of nikki haley, i just think of that moment with the confederate flag instatehouse in south carolina and i don't think anyone can say she wasn't incredibly diplomatic which is the skill. so is it, doug, is it that she can be an executer but what about the substance, what about the broad base of international affairs knowledge? >> it's two things. one, that moment wasn't just watched by all of us in america or people in the south, the whole world watched that moment. and they saw nikki haley act with poise and grace and in an incredibly difficult situation. she goes in there wherer knows where she is and everybody's already impressed by her before she says hello to anyone of them. as governor, she's led trade missions to india, to sweden. those things aren't insignificant. >> we should be talking a little about temperament and ability to learn on the job. obviously, governor haley has that. she's going to be able to go out, to learn very quickly, hopefully, about foreign policy. i think that there are other places in the trump administration where we might

here's julianna goldman. >> governor nikki haley. >> reporter: south carolina governor nikki haley was one of the republican party's loudest critics of its eventual nominee. >> during anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. we must resist that temptation. >> reporter: and mr. trump didn't spare her, either, tweeting in march, "the people of south carolina are embarrassed by nikki haley." your heart." but haley is now calling the president-elect a friend. >> we are currently living through what may be the most interesting time in american political history. >> reporter: haley, an indian- american, diversifies the president-elect's personnel picks and helps him extend an olive branch to the party establishment, but she lacks the foreign policy experience of previous u.n. ambassadors. mr. trump's other pick today, g.o.p. donor betsy devos, was for a cabinet post he said he might not have. >> devos is a strong advocat is against common core, which mr. trump wants to abolish. >> we will provide school choice and put an end to common core. we're bri

nikki haley has a lot of respect. the ideological spectrum as having handle the crises that hit her state over the last 15 months very ably. but flynn is very controversial in the same way bannon was a controversial pick and reince was reassuring. the trump transition. that i throw out one name that is impressive and one name that causes alarm. any part of my characterization that general flynn is the source of a lot of what donald trump knows about the military and its operations and do you disagree with the label "controversial"? >> i think he is controversial but he's a former head of the defense intelligence agency, a has served as the de facto national security advisor surprise that he would move into that white house role now, nikki haley certainly a very popular governor of south carolina, rising star in the republican party, but handling the confederate flag controversy in isn't a qualification to be the secretary of state for a nation at war. so we have no idea whether nikki haley knows the first thing about

let me read the reaction from governor nikki haley. she writes, i am honored that the president-elect has asked me to join his team and serve the country we love as the next ambassador to the united nations. she has a fair amount of bipartisan support. remember, she was one of the loudest voices calling for the confederate flag to come down in south carolina. so there is no expectation that she won't be confirmed. other outsiders today. mitt romney, one of the top contenders for secretary of state. of course a political outsider. dr. ben carson was a former rival of president-elect trump's. he emerged as a top surrogate and has been tapped now for hud secretary. he wrote on his facebook page he may have developments to announce later on. we are tracking that closely. of course, we were told earlier today he continues to mull that offer. >> mulling. >> look, this is not the first time this happened. elections can make a big difference. people get put in place who may have been critical of the president-elect. but nikki haley, to say she

nikki haley, absolutely a critic during the campaign. a lot of people seeing that as a signal that trump is trying to give. the team. as a trump critic, if you have vociferous critics like romney and haley, does that give you any reinsurance? >> not really. i cannot believe mitt romney would take this job if offered. he would have to put his conscience in a blind trust. about what you said. to then reverse that. nikki haley, it is tough for her too, but mitt really went way farther. so i'm not necessarily reassured. what i see today, i think they are rattled by the critique of white nationalists being associated with the campaign. a behind of possibly dr. ben carson and a woman.

south carolina governor nikki haley. sources say halely is a potential candidate for secretary of state. admiral mike rogers of the nsa. former cincinnati mayor ken blackwell and congressman jeb hensarling, potential treasury secretary. trump also had his first face-to-face meeting, about to, with a world lead, the japanese prime minister abe coming to new york. a special meeting later today with the president-elect. meanwhile, president obama's on his final trip to europe as commander in chief. had some advice for the president-elect. we're going to tell you what he had to say in a few minutes. first, let's get some more on the true flurry activity at the trump transition headquarters at trump tower on fifth avenue in new york city. cnn's sunlen serfaty is outside trump tower. give us an update on what's happening now. >> trump tower has been a hotbed of activity. we're seeing many people come and go. going inside for meetings that could become the very public, high-profile faces of the eventual trump administration. ea

ambassador nikki haley, hillary clinton. in a 2012 interview, governor haley said the reason i actually ran for office is because of hillary clinton. everybody was telling me i shouldn't run, i was too young, i had small children, i should start at the school board level. i went to birmingham university and hillary clinton was the keynote speaker on a leadership institute. and clinton said when it comes to women running for office, there will be everybody that tells you why you shouldn't. but that's all the reasons why we need you to do it. and i walked it of there thinking that's it, i'm running for office. nice little story there. now up next, michael moore's must-see reality check on trump's other big appointment today, billionaire betsy devos. your insurance company won't replace the full value of your totaled new car. the guy says, "you picked the wrong insurance plan." no, i picked the wrong insurance company. with new car replacement™, we'll replace the full value of your car plus depreciation. liberty mutual insuranc

by picking nikki haley for u.n. ambassador donald trump names the first woman and a former political foe to his cabinet. >> i pick people based on that i think they can change the country. >> are you going to support trump? >> great to be in cleveland. >> i have not been his biggest cheerleader. i did vote for him. i was absolutely thrilled to see him win. >> and american legends. for the final time president obama presents the medal of freedom to the best and the brightest. his final class of american icons. >> it is easy to forget now when we have come so far, where now marriage is equal under the law, just how much courage was required for ellen to come out on the most public of stages almost 20 years ago. what an incredible burden it was to bear. to risk your career like that. people don't do that very often. and then to have the hopes of millions on your shoulders. >>> good day, everybody. i'm andrea mitchell in washington. trump 2.0. the president-elect abandoning some of his controversial campaign promises to

nikki haley, i think that's a fantastic pick.ou look at the united nations, it's this broad coalition or broad group of people from different backgrounds and nikki haley has been able to come together in south carolina and bring a state together, work through tough issues. as a republican in south carolina, held the way with senator tim scott and said there are people offended by this flag, we need it removed. the deal maker in the way of donald trump. but somebody i think is going to do a great job in the united nations. >> a lot of people are pretty excited about the idea that mitt romney could be the top choice for secretary of state. like you, mitt romney was pretty critical of donald trump during the campaign. we watched mike huckabee say it would be a terrible decision to choose mitt romney since he was never with donald trump, not from the beginning, and it's about solidarity. what do you say? >> well, look, a lot of these folks, i'm not saying necessarily with huckabee, but they're upset about the idea of mitt romney beca

nikki haley being one of those individualings, not mitt romney. here's why this matters, this is important. first and foremost the source -- mark preston, our stellar colleague was who broke this news. >> stellar. >> saying this is a one-on-one meeting between donald trump and mitt romney that will discuss covering and a potential spot in a donald trump cabinet. why this matters is a couple reasons, no question in the first week in the wake of donald trump's stunning election, mohelty mattered, it always matters to donald trump but it mattered to his team as well so a lot of republicans felt on the outside, because we didn't support you wholeheartedly we weren't allowed into the transition process and republicans were worried about what that meant for the future administration. there's talent that would be expelled because of that so this addresses that a bit as well but this is also a very clear sign to republicans worried about the direction of this administration that, hey, we're willing to talk to anybody and you all respected mitt romney, you

i think that nikki haley will be great. it's very hard for donald trump to find someone critical of him. that's the problem. being sarcastic. he had so many critics. he does not care. my goodness, he went to see "the new york times" yesterday. everyone there is a critic. it's interesting to see -- more pressure on nikki haley to go along with donald trump. she has to do what his policies say. >> that's a for sure. i hope they find a great position for rick. >>> we are still waiting for word on the secretary of state position and whether it will go to mitt romney like we were mentioning. romney does not, as you may have been aware, newt gingrich and mike hugckabee's vote. >> i would be concerned, i think the vast majority of trump supporters will initial willly unhappy and be reminded of everything romney said over the year. two, because romney does represent a very different viewpoint. i'm not sure whose secretary of state he would be. >> i'm still very unhappy that mit did everything he could to derail donald trump. there'

nikki haley was critical of trump's candidacy.branch to the more conservative wing of the republican party, and one of his political allies in south carolina gets to be the governor, so that's it. eric: you talk about binding old wounds. what type of strategy do you see going forward? you have got mitt romney at the top of the list for secretary of state. >> it's hard to overstate the good vibrations that have emanated from the discussions trump has had with romney and he has been having about james mat is, retired marine commandant to be the secretary of defense. we have seen a strange new respect in many circles, especially with conservatives as trump is putting together this team. we don't know about secretary of state, obviously. we are still find out about the pentagon and the rest of the national security team. but i would say this, donald trump has shown he's listening and wants to put together the kind of government that can function with broad-based support in washington. eric: some dire supporters and others may not be p

nikki haley has no experience.n ben carson, i can see him possibly in health and human services but he doesn't really have experience. housing and urban development. want political experience. that's what we learned in this election. they want outsiders. trump is going to get doers. people who have experience in the real world. look at the trump organization. he always thirs best of the best. >> let's let her finish her thought. betsy devos. the woman whoo he chose to be the secretary of education. trump has said that he wants to bring prosperity to the inner that was the cornerstone of his campaign. school choice to these inner cities. one way that he is going to mark his presidency and be able to lift all americans up. i think that was a good move. >> it is an interesting distinction. you had someone saying the other day that ben carson doesn't think he can be ready. if you look at betsy devos, her back ground. interested in. i can see another republican president appointing her. >> she is such an education extre

and it was during that time that it became obvious that nikki haley was actually somebody that donaldump personally wanted to reach out to, to see if she was interested or at least considering being secretary of state or as well as one or two other half republican rivals who were a major figure of the republican party. >> she's a major party and well known in south carolina. is she known outside this country and do you think that matters at all. could a governor of a u.s. of southern state do well as a secretary of state? >> well, i don't know. that would be up for donald trump and his administration to make that determination. i do know that the names have been floated this week so far john bolton and rudy giuliani . those names are still on the list. it seems to be and errreported few days ago that one of those two were going to be a selection of secretary of state and my source is telling me that is not the case. there are actually several other names donald trump wants to talk to and he's looking into another direction. >> joe scarborough with that news that nikki haley is being c

south carolina governor nikki haley. she took a shot at trump earlier this year calling upon the country to reject, quote, our a angriest voices. also, betsy devos has accepted his offer to run the department of education. she has been a long-time advocate for charter schools and school voucher programs. jason carroll is in palm beach, florida, with the president-elect where he is spending thanksgiving. are we expecting any more personnel announcements today? >> reporter: it's unclear at this point. we wouldn't be able to say with ser certainty one way or another. this president-elect is not opposed to bringing in former rivals into his cabinet. president-elect donald trump is bolstering his cabinet by turning to a one-time critic. >> when a bully hits you, hit the bully right back. >> reporter: announces south carolina governor nikki haley as his choice to serve as u.s. ambassador to the united nations. haley, a daughter of indian immigrants, became the first woman and first person of color elected as governor of the pa

nick: nikki haley became prominent as a critic of donald trump. she endorsed florida senator marco rubio and then backed ted cruz. governor haley: i wanted someone with conviction to the right thing. nick: this daughter of indian immigrants was a critical of the proposed ban of muslims to the united states and incendiary tone of his anti-immigrant rhetoric. governor haley: it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices . we must resist that temptation. nick: following the election, this highflying 44-year-old was for a high profile role. governor haley: i will not pretend to be the president-elect's biggest cheerleader. [laughter] i did vote for him, and i was thrilled to see him win. >> thank you, south carolina. it is coming down. nick: as governor of south carolina, she is best known for demanding the lowering of the confederate flag at the state capitol in colombia after the shooting of nine african-americans at this church in charleston. governor haley: the confederate flag is coming off the ground of the south carolina sta

nikki haley also. saying dwrump wouldn't be someone she would hold up as ab example to a kindergarten class. and donald trump is bringing her into the fold. >> he clearly is extending olive branchs over the last week with policiwise and with people. very interesting the choice of nikki haley. you know that position of u.n. ambassador is often where we've seen either former stars of john kennedy,ed a lay stevensson who has run for president twice. and interesting role for her. maybe grooming her for secretary of state. really interesting. i think betsy devos is the one we should be talking about. because our children. this will represent dramatic change. we've seen over the course of the last two decades lots of non education leaders run local systems so here in new york: you saw former prosecutor. generals and others. and to see at the national level to see them bring in someone like betsy devos who has been a philanthropist but not that involved. huge significant and follows on the involvement of bill

ambassador nikki haley, hillary haley said the reason i actually ran for office is because of hillaryon. everybody was telling me i i had small children, i should start at the school board level. i went to birmingham university and hillary clinton was the keynote speaker on a leadership institute. and clinton said when it comes to women running for office, there will be everybody that but that's all the reasons why we need you to do it. and i walked it of there thinking that's it, i'm running nice little story there. must-see reality check on trump's other big appointment today, billionaire betsy devos. ♪ ♪ see ya next year. this season, start a new tradition. experience the power of infiniti now, with leases starting at $319 a month. infiniti. empower the drive. the market.redict but through good times and bad... ...at t. rowe price... ...we've helped our investors stay confident for over 75 years. call us or your advisor. t. rowe price. invest with confidence. two words: it heals.e different? how? with heat. unlike creams and rubs that mask the pain, thermacare has patented heat cel

governor nikki haley seen by many as a rising star in the republican party. trump naming her his pick to be u.s. ambassador to the united nations. a one-time critic of trump's candidacy with little experience. she will now be taking over one of the key diplomatic posts. trump also naming betsy devos to be the next secretary of education. he called her an education advocate. she's been a major proponent of vouchers and charter school movement. devos, too, was a strong critic of trump in march. she called him an interloper who does not represent the republican party. meanwhile, nbc reporting that dr. ben carson is mulling an offer to join the trump administration. the president-elect recently tweeting that he is seriously considering carson to be the head of hud. an announcement is forthcoming in a statement he wrote, after serious discussions with the trump transition team, i feel that i can make a significant contribution particularly to making our inner cities great for everyone. for the latest, how trump's cabinet is shaping up. joined by kristen welker in

nikki haley, i would say she's an outsider.erved in the federal government, nor has betsy devos. she's been in michigan. involved with republican politics for decades. both of these women are outsiders and their appointments suggest that all signs are pointing toward mitt romney to be named secretary of state. if you consider the fact that both of these women were especially critical of donald trump during the election, nikki haley, as you know, used part of her state of the union rebuttal speech to take aim at him. betsy devos told one of my colleagues that donald trump does not represent the republican party. yet he forgave them ostensibly and has appointed them to cabinet-level positions in his administration. so -- i mean, arguably, mitt romney was far more critical of donald trump during the election cycle, and is also perhaps more qualified for the position of which he's being considered than either of these women were for theirs. >> james, what is your take if mitt romney is selected? mitt romney was hypercritical of don

add nikki haley and possibly ben carson. finally, a unique report from my friend and colleague lester holt as the new york police department gets ready to keep the city safe over the holiday weekend. we'll hear from the bomb squad here in new york who responded to the chelsea bombing two months ago. let's go to blake mccoy who is tracking crowds and night delays at o'hare international. it doesn't look that bad behind you, blake. >> reporter: no, it's really not, kate. we've been watching the weather a lot because in the midwest we're seeing a rainstorm but it's a light kind of misty rain as opposed to thunderstorms that would create real problems for flights. so that's really good news so far. we have not seen many delays here at chicago or really throughout the country. i chalk it up to a normal travel delays. take a look at the lines right now. look at that. everyone is moving. no one stopped. i don't even know how you put a wait time to this. 30 seconds. people are walking up to the security lines. it's all good news so

nikki haley, absolute trump's tri critic.le are looging at that as a signal that dronald trump is trying to send. if you ha -- does that give you any comfort or reassurance. >> i cannot believe romney has to take this job, he would have to put his conscious in a blind trust after listening to the clip of what he said. haley, it is tough for her to reverse it, too. mitt romney went far than she did. they are ravelled by the critique of white nationalists being associates of the campaign. >> possibly ben carson and we have a woman. >> there is a little bit of that. but, there is also an astonishing lack of performance. it is staggering that somebody who turned down syrian refugees in south carolina is collaborating and representing us with the body that's so important of refugees where ever we think they may belong. there is a lot of ignorance here. >> when you look at nikki haley and the things they have said and especially in the case of mitt romney. he was saying donald trump was fundamentally untrust worthy and qualified. i

there was a tweet about floating nikki haley as the secretary of state possibly. this is after rudy giuliani was described by the front runner and lead. that's what i was told by sources in the transition and people close to rudy giuliani. rudy giuliani has been telling people he all but has this based on my reporting. i had to wonder when i saw this about nikki haley who did not support trump, critical of him during the primary, supported marco rubio, i wonder if he got frustrated seeing giuliani floated so strongly. trump has said he is keeping his own list of transition names and people shouldn't believe everything they are reading. he said he will collect from his children. but he has his own list. i think trump likes to feel in control of these things. even though in a transition you are assigning people to do this for you, i think trump likes to create his own process. >> trump has been your reporting about conflict within the transition team. >> you could have stopped the sentence pushing back on the "new york times" because i that's been a constant. i have

i think nikki haley will be phenomenal. >> here nikki haley gets somebody that was critical of him during right now. big surprise. >> i think one of them -- donald trump was always gracious once he won towards the people that he defeated throughout the primary. he's shown himself to be a gracious guy who's pretty much running a transition so far that's been pretty flawless. >> yeah, exactly. beats jeb bush and suddenly low energy jeb because mid level energy jeb. there's always sort of a transition. >> so david brooks writes in "the new york times", fellow trump critics maybe try a little listening. many of my fellow trump critics are expressing outrage, depression, bewilderment or disgust. it all seems so useless during this transition moment. it's all a series of narcissistic displays and discussions about our own emotional states. >> amen. >> wow. this is good. >> amen. >> it seems like the first thing to do is really learn what this election is teaching us. second, this seems like a moment for some low-passion wonkery. it's stupid to react to every trump tweet outrage with our own pre
