it is not a lower commitment in terms of staffing to the administration of the ihss program. in fact, we've added a significant number of positions on the social work and support staff side of the ihss program. what we have done in the budget is we've taken the eligibility workers were part of the ihss program on a budgetary level we combined them with our san francisco benefits net group which is the group that has medi-cal and cal fresh eligibility work. so the cost of those eligibility workers have slid off of the das budget into the dhs budget. if you are looking to the actual staffing was doing eligibility work for seniors and persons with disabilities you would see the numbers actually gone up. we have added sf benefits net eligibility workers systemwide and a larger share of those workers are in fact working on the aging and disability side of the program. so it's a budgetary move that reduces cost but if you look at where the actual staff are working there are more of them. just to add confusion. okay. if we look at staffing what you will see is that there are small a

staffing an administration at these high-level positions it's not often about rewarding. the divide in the party or just simply thinks you're the most qualified. as long as you do what i say, you'll be a great fit. hillary clinton and obama, not fast friends. obama felt she would be a good fit and helped the rift in the party. >> nothing compared to what republicans are looking at now. if you want to apply the conway/gingrich test to every republican in washington, you don't have a senate majority of people who said nice things about donald trump. you have five or six or more republican senators. the balance of power in the u.s. senate that donald trump must control in order to pass anything who were pretty much out there on the same level as mitt romney. if you're sending the signal with the appointments you make and the message you deliver during the transition that you need not apply to do business with this administration, that's real trouble for the next two to four years. >> i think the generous assessment is that they haven't hit their stride yet. i mean, that's th

since that victory, president-elect donald trump has turned to the matter of staffing 4,000 jobs for his incoming administration and he's raised some eyebrows. reince priebus the republican national committee chairman tapped for chief steve bannon who served as the trump campaign chairman has been named chief strategist. before we go to the wous we want to note the passing of journalist gwen eiffel who died today of cancer at 61. she was the co-anchor of the pbs news hour. and before that a colleague of many of ours here. ron allen is in the white house briefing room. that president obama will take combez the election. the obvious question. what happened? how does he explain it and how much responsibility does he take for the election of donald trump? we know this president said time and time again donald trump will not become president. he said he was unfit to be commander n chief. but the president doesn't explain what went wrong. he going to make an opening statement five minutes long about the peaceful transition of power. the need for that. that's been his mantraa he is going to make it as easy as possible

chris christie was put in charge of the trump transition effort, put in charge of staffing up the trump administration way back in may when, honestly, i think nobody thought there would be a trump administration. so working on a totally hypothetical trump presidential transition was kind of a hilarious back water busy work job for something that would never come to fruition. once donald trump freaking won the election, did you notice how fast chris christie got demoted from what turns out was now actually a very important job. and now one of the more lurid aspects of the rollicking reality show that is the trump campaign trying to become the president donald trump administration, one of the astonishingly low rent plot points in that story is basically seeing chris christie get his in a bad way. as the son of the man who he jailed and humiliated all those years ago, as that man's son steps up and relieves governor christie of his lunch money. president-elect donald trump brought his son-in-law jared kushner and the rest of the family to the white house on thursday for their meeting with the obama white

the two men will be working hand and glove to produce the necessary staffing of the trump administration. they got over 4,000 positions to fill and only nine weeks to do it. >> we apologize for the audio issue. what, exactly, does the job of white house chief of staff entail? among the new dates foreigns include controlling the president's schedule. the chief of staff controls the president's door, deciding who gets to go to the oval office and meet with the president, someone earlier said that the chief of staff has to decide not who wants to meet with the president but who needs to meet with the president. the office reviews papers that come in and out of the president's office, and manages. white house responses to congressional mail and communication that deals with policy and the chief of staff or a deputy chief goes on each presidential trip for half a season sorry the chief of staff is the one who convenes white house staff meeting, by the way, harry truman was the left president who decided to do it himself because if you cannot stand the heat you get out of kitchen. or might be

trump is staffing his administration, these top financial jobs at least, largely with people who look supporters are getting the government they quite expected. he was driven to office by a real populist movement, people who were discontented with the way washington and the way wall street have treated them. some of these guys are from that world. so the change that he promised to supporters is not yet evident in a lot of his appointments. scarlet: the c.o.o., president of goldman sachs, do we have any idea where he might fit into trump's economic team? alex: apparently he's being looked at for a couple of top jobs really in the white house, maybe o.m.b. director, or chairman of the national economic council. these are actually very powerful jobs. he would be closer to trump than the treasury secretary would be, in fact, and would probably have more now economic policy. oliver: as we talked about tapping some of the people that perhaps his voting base wouldn't be too happy about, i mean, these are basically wall street guys for the most part. none of them really have a lot of washingt
