. >> two items of news came out of the briefing that shawn spicer held with reporters. one item is that there is going to be a lobbying ban. we heard part of the purge of the krissie transition evident is that there were a lot of lobbyists involved. trying to clear that out. shawn spicer said anyone being vetted for a high-profile position in the administration is going to have to sign a form rejecting, removing themselves from being a registered lobbyist if they are going to work in the trump administration. >> said must provide a termination of will beying form if they are registered lobbyists. in addition they will be banned for five years once theically the government. >> no small thing. that's somebody's obviously livelihood and you are saying you can't come into this administration, leave, and go back to k street and make a ton of money there. is going to be a cool be off period of five years. this isn't tearcally dissimilar from what barack obama did when he came into office when he came in on transparency. he made anti-lobbying rules for people working in his ad

sean spicer told me you were way off base.he call was disgusting and rereprehensible but hen then he said for you to turn it back on them on the trump campaign is almost as reprehensible. those are his words. what do you say to that? >> the man who did the robo call is a delegate for trump. you know erin, today we received news that some of trump's supporters who are out there raising money and putting up billboards for trump. these again are white nationalist, white supremacists are now calling for a mormon genocide. that is what we're up against here. this is, you know, consistent with what donald trump has done in our country. this is consistent with this movement that he's created, that attacks people base on their gender, race, religion. this is what we're standing up to. we believe this country can be unified. we believe that we can be a diverse country and still approximate unified as americans. that is what we're fighting for. >> evan mcmullin. thank you very much. appreciate your time. >>> and next, hillary clinton an

in terms of what trump is about to do here, if sean spicer from the rnc is right and trump is about to take the stage, when by all media accounts, and certainly by ours, he's not hit 270, if he is going to give a speech tonight, what's the right context? what's the right way to do that? >> it isn't the right thing to do, but he isn't a normal guy. mike mccurry and i were the back channels on the two campaigns. he was sort of back channeling with the kerrys and the edwards on that night and i was talking to the president and vice president and karl rove and what mick mccurry said, he thought he was going to be president all day. and he understands now that he thought -- >> kerry -- >> but the edwards haven't come around. so give them until the morning. there were some people in the president's circle who wanted him to claim his victory. the president said, no, no, no, i trust mike mccurry, let's sleep on it. he said to me, better call in the morning. i was 26, but he did just that, he stood down. the next morning, i remember bush called from the oval office at about 6:30, dan bartlett c

sean spicer says don't believe anything until it comes out of donald trump's own mouth. heard the same thing from kellyanne conway. >> good morning, stephanie. you know, we're expecting those announcements that talked about to be official today. anyone who wants to be in trump's administration at some point usually comes through the trump tower. yesterday was a resolving door of who's who. there's a lot of anticipation as to who will show up today. we know at some point today, trump will be leaving here and heading to bedmanster, new jersey, he'll be spending the weekend at his golf resort. sources tell us he also will be meeting with mitt romney, possibly some time this weekend. possibly for a consideration of secretary of state. now, it's very unusual that this meeting is taking place, considering the relationship these two men have had over the last year. very, very contentious. so it's unclear really what this meeting means, if this is an olive branch between the two or what the future could hold. stephanie. >> thus far, trump tower this morning, any action? who's in

is rnc communications director, chief strategist, sean spicer., taking a look, here we are on friday before election day, taking a look at all the data, everything you know right now about the race. is donald trump now the favorite or is he still the underdog? >> i think he's still the underdog. but i think everything that we're seeing both nationally and in the states is trending his way. and that's a great place to be, you know, going in the last four days, i would rather have the wind at our back and all the momentum with us, than not. >> sean, tell us what you think the most likely electoral college path is for donald trump right now, besides the romney states minus north carolina. >> so, florida, ohio, iowa, north carolina. i think there. and i think we start to pick off colorado's down to dead even. michigan's dead even. those are my two top, but i think you look right below the surface there in a close, what would that be, third, is virginia, is in the mix. i think new hampshire and maine, too, i feel really good about. and that's the stor
