if you'll remember, sean o'brien spoke at the rnc, tried to reach across the aisle in terms of building up republican union support and famously did not endorse in the presidential election when in the past, the teamsters have been have endorsed democrats. so sean o'brien this is a real victory for him because he was able to boost somebody who would be supportive of labor in a republican administration. and i believe that's why this is such a surprise for sort of the business community because typically you don't expect republicans to pick somebody who's against right to work laws who is for bills like the pro act to be the republicans, labor secretary. >> let's talk about some of the public health roles. and we understand from sources that rfk jr.. was influential in some of these selections. does that give us any insight? tell us anything about these picks. >> i think it's pretty early to say what what policies or what issues these picks are going to bring up. i think what's clear is that this follows president-elect trump's pattern of picking people with ties to fox news, pattern of

all came out against shawn o'brien's. and trump went with him. he said hey, i'm doing to do something for my friend shawn o'brien which is great. and i hope we are able to push. the country needs it. but the hostility that surrounds her is real. you have elon musk. you have scott bessent. they are not ready to go fly with the pro labor agenda so she has her work cut out for her but it is one voice at a table where she is out gunned. by wall street friendly people. i think it could be helpful when workers go on strike. i will just note that in order to support the labor secretary, you need a national labor relations board support. so who donald trump picks for that needs to compliment this direction if we are going to carve into being a pro labor but it is a decent first step here. >> yeah. just, it's already, first of all, it's friday night. and he has announced 320% of his cabinet in five minutes right? that's chaotic. the actual picks themselves, some of whom we will get to a few more in a second. but the fact you have a pro labor candidate at

the latest now from abc's jay o'brien. >> reporter: tonight, president-elect donald trump and mexico's president clashing over details of a high-stakes call related to trump's signature campaign issue, immigration. trump yesterday claiming that mexican president claudia sheinbaum agreed to, quote, stop migration through mexico and into the united states, effectively closing our southern border. but then sheinbaum appearing to contradict the president-elect, saying she told trump migrant caravans are being stopped before they reach the u.s., adding, we reiterate that mexico's position is not to close borders. >> we're going to end up with the largest deportation. >> reporter: the call coming after trump pledging to follow through on a key campaign promise, threatening to impose sweeping 25% across the board tariffs on goods from mexico and canada, until both countries stop what trump claims is a flow of drugs and illegal migrants. >> every damn thing that they sell into the united states is going to have like a 25% tariff until they stop drugs from coming in. >> reporter: sheinbaum thre

jay o'brien abc news, washington. >> so if the trump administration implements these proposed tariffshe california economy? are key industries and the prices of our consumer goods? are there items you should buy now before the tariffs begin? let's take a closer look with stanford law professor and senior fellow at the stanford institute for economic policy research, alan sykes, thank you so much for joining us today. >> my pleasure. >> so, professor sykes, let's start here. how big of a shock would this be to our market? and economy? >> well, i think it would be a significant price shock for certain industries and sectors. if it goes forward. my best sense is that it's going to be a threat that may not have to be carried out, that there will be some sort of negotiation between now and the inauguration. that's perhaps why there's so much lead time here in this announcement. but if it actually does go into effect, it will certainly raise prices of certain things. >> how could it play in negotiations? that is, what is it that the president wants out of the countries that he's talking abo

names being suggested include, rick grinnell to come by the former ambassador to germany and robert o'brien who was trumps, form and national security advisor. mike rogers has been mentioned for the top defense job. he's a republican member of congress with a whole casual reputation. and the like many in trump, as well as a strong advocate of bombing ukraine and increasing defense spending. trump is also mentioned christopher miller, who was under his last administration and was involved in project 2025, a wish list of government reform that would give trump more power. he's announced that the united nations and bassett is at least stephanie, a staunch the pro israel republican representative from new york. and trump is already made one major pick. he appointed his campaign co chair woman who was the wildest chief of stuff to control access to the president and help set the administration's policy agenda. what they all have in common besides right wing credentials has proven loyalty to trump. but the president elect faces obstacles and a pointing lawyer list cabinet post must be confirmed b

paul: the teamsters boss sean o'brien spoke at the republican convention but his union didn't endorseite the survey of the members, over 50% said we support trump and the union didn't. why does he get a payoff. >> trump thinks nonendorsement is a favor to him by the unions but the problem is this flies in the face of a long history of conservative and republican paulo c. the goals of his own administration, another bill that chavez deremer supported is the freedom to negotiate act which would empower collective-bargaining by public unions across the nation in every state. paul: it would force them to negotiate with public unions? >> correct. it would empower teachers union in states to negotiate over the school choice programs. paul: they would be more like new york, california, illinois where they you run the government. >> granted as labor secretary she would not have the power to pass the bill but it does raise questions conservative and republican senators have hard questions about. paul: on the one hand you have unions which claimed to represent all workers. they don't always. th

distinctly in the mix, mike pompeo is one of the names and so is robert o'brien, donald trump's last have maintained good relations throughout, so there's a possibility that he could be there. trump has had fractured relations with a lot of people who have been through his administration but there are possibilities including a senator from tennessee as well so we are going to have to see the shape of his administration and we will get a better idea over the next couple of days. i would not be surprised if he takes his time, to be honest. this has been a breakneck campaign and i suspect he is taking a moment and then it would be into the full business of readying himself and his team for government. within the next hour we _ team for government. within the next hour we are _ team for government. within the next hour we are expecting - team for government. within the next hour we are expecting to . next hour we are expecting to hear the first time on camera of the president at the white house, that is likely to be a moment? it house, that is likely to be a moment?— house, that is likel
