. >> joining us, cbs sunday morning's nancy jiles and yamiche alcindor. find this so poisonous and ugly that i'm not sure i know how to talk about it. yamiche, you've spoken to people, presumably not homicidal rampagers like this guy, but who share his views. >> i have spoken with people who share his views of the interviews i have had are with white nationalists excited about donald trump coming into office. i was talking to this man, william johnson, and he feels most of the times whites are losing their grip on america and there aren't many politicians speaking to that. one of the things that he kept saying, he was really pleasant. but one of the things that he kept saying is the founding stock of america is being left behind. and i said what's founding stock? and he said white people. and white people are superior. that's what i'm hearing from dylann roof, that white people are the superior race. >> this distinction that some people are going for, i'm not a white supremacist but a white nationalist is a crazy lie. they absolutely believe in superiorit

for more on this, i'm joined by kristen welker from orlando, yamiche alcindor, and eugene robinson. kristen, if you could elaborate more on these conversations apparently inside trump world that the cia is out to get him. >> reporter: right. well, i think there's a sense and a concern inside trump world that this story line will ultimately undercut the fact that he won. i think that's why you're seeing him push back so strongly. and i have been talking to some of those who are close to him, his advisers who kind of echoed what you heard from him. could be russia. it could be china. they're not prepared to say it's russia definitively. here's what we also know. we know that the pressure is going to mount on the president-elect to not only acknowledge that it's russia but to do something about it because you have president obama saying he's going to take action against russia. we know that he has been in close consultation with the president-elect and i think one of my top headlines today, joy, is one of president-elect donald trump's advisers saying he believes that the president-ele

is this not a major realignment as yamiche is saying? >> sure.s in the transition period. i think this is still easily reversible and frankly i think there's at least one explanation of trump's approach here, which is that by presenting himself as a kind of shoot from the hip, fly by the seat of his pants guy, he does give himself more opportunities to say, oh, i didn't really mean that when something is received badly. at the same time, you know, i do always hesitate to attribute some sort of sinister overall plan when it might just be pure incompetence at work. >> pure incompetence, or, yamiche, was this intentional? >> i'm not in a position to call anybody incompetent. what i would say is that i think maybe they didn't take into considering how this would be covered and viewed. the idea is maybe his team thought, yes, we could take this call, yes, he can congratulate him, but that doesn't mean we'll be changing policies. it's too early for that. he's not even in office. going forward, they're probably learning a lesson in terms of how they'll

. >> joining me now, christina grier, political science professor, yamiche alcindor, and sorry abouthat mispronuns nation, cade. what do you make of this statement that's come out by president-elect trump, that it's time to move on to bigger and better things? >> the fact that he has not given a proper press conference in 155 days is highly problematic. the fact that he promised that he would on december 15th, to talk about some of his financial improprieties and conflicts of interest and then just canceled it, so he is setting a precedent on many levels that is disturbing and quite worrisome. not only is media in many ways the fourth branch of government, but he's consistently planting seeds of doubt that the media cannot and should not do the job that they do, but it is also his responsibility to respect president barack obama. in the past, we have a rule, one president at a time. so it's one thing to not give proper press conferences, but it's another thing to constantly tweet and undermine some of the legitimacy of our current sitting -- >> what do you make of the fact that he co

it's now time for our lid, our panel is back, robert paige, clarence thomas and yamiche alcindor. yamiche, what's striking as we heard from this president, it's a man who's celebrated by those who love him as professorial, c contemplative in his thoughts and public commentary, and he's a stark contrast to donald trump, who's much more visceral, reacts from the gut, by his instincts, as he's the first to indicate. how will the world have to change his understanding of what america is communicating from a new president, an incoming president who is so different in delivering his message than this president is. >> i think what they're going to have to in some ways get used to is the fact that donald trump is really not afraid to use these new age ways of communicating to people. so, of course, he's someone who will be on twitter, tweeting about all sorts of policy issues, tweeting about people that he thinks are his adversaries, of course, with president obama, we didn't have that. i think the other thing he's going to be pushing back on is the norms. you think about that idea where

yamiche, we're going to leave you out of the voting. we understand your position. i want to get to a problem that developed over the weekend for the trump campaign, and i have a problem actually reporting on this story, this is carl palladino, the extreme racist from new york state who's a friend and supporter of donald trump, a very rich supporter of donald trump, i cannot read the things that he said about both barack obama and michelle obama, deeply racist, ugly things that the trump transition team eventually came out and condemned. but josh, we haven't heard anything from donald trump about this. and donald trump is pals with carl palladino, and donald trump finds time to tweet about alec baldwin's performances on "saturday night live" and smaller things than that. >> yeah. the fact that the transition issued a statement condemning the remarks is more than they usually do. so you have seen carl palladino come out and say he didn't mean to send the comments to the press. he's an elected official, a member of the school board in the stiff -- city of buffalo. he

rick santelli, yamiche, katty and jeff greenfield. welcome all. what struck you the most about the podesta interview? >> what struck me most is that he sounded very flus willered when you asked him about wisconsin and their decisionmaking within the campaign and wisconsin. of course, russia is important and the fact that hillary clinton the focus on her private e-mails was something that hurt them, how democrats move forward is really going to be -- they will have to look at what they did in the election and who they lost and how they lost and why the turnout among the base was so low. that is what struck me most. he had other answers but when it came to his own campaign and how it was run, he wasn't as strong. >> what did you get out of it? >> he did say there's going to have to be an investigation because the donors are saying what did we spend our money on? one other thing that i thought was different was from my reporting with senior members of the white house, what they are saying is that after putin was spoken to by obama, the white house sa

i do think, to yamiche's point, to julian's point, adolfo some of this could be cleared up, if donaldrump would release his tax returns. does he need to do that as president. >> which he will do. >> you're convinced he will. >> julian kept saying this. as a sitting president. he's not a sitting president. >> but he will be on january 20th. >> will you let me fin, jewel yay? i didn't interrupt you. >> julian, hang on. i have 25 seconds the. >> be respectful. i know you're partisan, but be respectful. >> answer the question. >> he's not a sitting president. i agree this is a process that will take time, but if the standard is if you're wealthy and have holding overseas, you cannot run for president, and you have three or four weeks to divest yourself of these holdings, this is then what it is with julian has said, a political witchhunt. >> adolfo, that's a complete nonanswer. thank you for a complete nonanswer. >> thank you, guys, i've got to stop of time-out. we have to move on. i appreciate you all being here and being so fired up, especially on your day off. we'll continue this conve

and yamiche alcindor, everyone knows her, national reporter for "the new york times." to you all. joy, you get the first question, because i'm fascinated by the news. i've been watching a lot of news, and watching a lot of people thread this needle between, love american workers, so happy for american workers, but then again, what a terrible precedent, because the president can't be making deals right and left. where do you come down? skbli >> i think it's interesting, when president barack obama made that deal to save the auto industry, and this reaction to it was this sort of off-key reaction, how dare the president of the united states step in and choose winners or losers in detroit. i think i remember mitt romney wrote, let detroit go bankrupt, and there was this huge argument particularly look republicans that this was not the place of the president to do. >> free market. >> the free market should win. so i think what you're seeing with donald trump is things that were considered to be off the table and considered to be wrong when they were done by president obama

yamiche alcindor and eugene robinson. and he is a "washington post" columnist. kristen, i'll start with you. if you can elaborate a little bit more on these conversations apparently inside trump world, that the cia is out to get him. >> right, well, i think there's a sense and a concern inside trump world that this story line will ultimately undercut the fact that he won. and i think that's why you're seeing him push back so strongly. and i have been talking to some of those who are close to him, his advisers, who kind of echoed what you heard from him there. it could be russia, it could be china. they're not prepared to say it's russia definitively. but here's what we also know, joy. we know that the pressure is going to mount on the president-elect, to not only acknowledge that it's reduction, but to do something about it, because you have president obama saying he's going to take action against russia. we know that he has been in close consultation with the president-elect and i think one of my top headlines today, joy, is that one of president-elect donald t
