john: i asked kellyanne conway about this and her attitude is basically he is already seriously wealthy. he is -- if he was in this and the money -- for the money. this is all kind of ridiculous. what others are saying. what say you about this aspect of potential problems? guest: that would be the hope and expectation. we already know that he has told the new york times today he used the nexen standard, the post-1865 for construction standard to say that a president cannot exactly be held legally accountable. the only real way to hold the president legally accountable for misbehavior is the nuclear option of impeachment. otherwise, much of the way the constitution is structured, he is not exactly punishable by the court system or by the system that we have. we are in uncharted waters in the sense that if he is going to say that he can run his business and run the presidency at the same time if he chooses to, not only is that a conflict of interest, it represents an entirely new idea of moonlighting at the highest level that we have ever possibly seen it. i would ask you one question, wh

kellyanne conway was speaking to reporters on monday and said the coverage has been abysmal. she doesn't like it. about steve bannon, he has published many controversial headlines and things that have alarmed anti-semitic watch groups and racial watch groups. he is a controversial figure to be sure. that is starting the tone of the administration. jimmy carter in 1976 and billy clinton in they 1992. are outsiders and don't have many relationships in this town. charlie: you have been a great guide for us for understanding this. thank you, talk to you soon. see you next time. ♪ >> taking it to the limit, senior opec leaders hold urgent meeting to bridge the divide of production cuts. rise foracific stocks the first time in four days, and the dollar slipped back as investors question the reaction to donald trump's win. >> abu dhabi may launch more financial mergers after combining national banks. >> the chairm

there are folks who are not happy, some of that has been articulated by kellyanne conway. we've seen how that has played itself out in a broader sense. but there is some concern that wait andnt to have a see, they trust donald trump on a lot of this. they think there is a method to his madness in regards to bringing in people who somewhat perceive to be part of making the swamp the swamp and using them to clean this one. so, we'll see how that first hundred days goes. certainoff of things, people are rising their eyebrows a little bit. by a large, donald trump himself is getting a greater pass on this than i think any other republican in his position would at this point. you have got, take, they are selling access of the convention and giving one million bucks -- the inauguration, give one million bucks, you get action. this is the swamp personified. when the phrase drain the swamp was chanted at trump rallies in the midwest and iowa and wisconsin and michigan, what do you think people thought that meant? michael: good question. from what i understand and what i myself tho

kellyanne conway talked a little bit in making the claim that the trump data saw a lot of this coming and they seemed confident. it will be fascinating -- eventually, i hope someone gets a presentation from the clinton people -- i hope it's us -- because they were equally or maybe even more confident that she was going to win, and i'm desperate to know what calculations they made. the campaigns have so much more data than the public media polls. how did they get it so wrong? john: right. there's no question the trump campaign was doing more with data that a lot of us in new, but i still cannot believe that there was not a big disparity between the number of polls done , just the sheer volume from the clinton campaign. back in 2012, the obama campaign was basically like building an atomic clock while the romney campaign was working with a sundial to measure their vote. i felt that's where the clinton campaign was, which is part of why when the clinton campaign claims matched up with public polling, that's why people like me look at that and said that he, durable lead nationally and a l

we have about a minute left, at 30,000 feet here, it was not that long ago kellyanne conway was acknowledging trump was the underdog. he always says he is the favorite, but in my conversations with campaign aides, they are suggesting the race is tied or they may be the favorite at this point. what is your sense of his staff will posture about where they stand? katy: the staff is extraordinarily confident. they were handed a gift last friday with the revival of the fbi investigation and another gift with obama care premiums rising and another one with the cnn allegations about donna brazile giving hillary clinton questions before a debate. so they have a lot to feel positive about. they said that their internal polling is showing they are gaining ground in a lot of the states. they even claim that they are gaining ground in a pretty blue state like mexico. if you talk to people outside the campaign one step removed, they will say that it will be very tough to win. they say it is not necessarily he is going to win, but the down ballot races are in a better position than they were last week. ♪

then there are people like kellyanne conway and jared kushner. these are devoted operatives and may be recruited to work in the new administration, or as advisors. we're told that paul ryan and mitch mcconnell told donald trump yesterday when he was in washington that they would like to see reince priebus as chief of staff. our third bucket is d.c. insiders. people like former bush national security advisor hadley, as possible secretary of defense, along with bob corker of tennessee and john bolton. who has the inside track? john: one thing we know about donald trump is that loyalty really matters to him. looks like loyalty isn't ironclad, chris christie got a little demotion but i think chris christie will get paid back in some way. mark: i disagree, i think he will get no job. john: on what basis? mark: that jared kushner does not want him in the government. john: explain to the world why he would be opposed. not a lot of people know this story. mark: when chris christie was the u.s. attorney, he indicted and convicted jared kushner's father. a

mark: talk about whether kellyanne conway will take a white house job or work from the outside. are there other women being talked about for senior cabinet jobs that you have heard of? jennifer: not that i have heard of so far, although i am told that he is looking at women and has hired women for his trump organization and he values women's opinions and has always promoted them into leadership opinions. that will be no different, is what his aides are telling me. john: another topic we discussed earlier, the conflict of interest. he is getting hit pretty hard for the notion of having his children run the business and be on the transition team. he still has not exposed his tax returns. how are those complaints being heard in the trump world? jennifer: they pushed back a little bit about it and say they have not formally applied for the top-secret clearance for the kids that people are talking about. perhaps that question came from someone lower down within the transition team. trump values his children's opinions, and if he could get them clearance, i'm sure he would. he trusted

the republicans claim both kellyanne conway and other republicans claim trump was already moving ahead in battleground states before this happened. just as donald trump wanted to be dealing with a few weeks ago, the accusations of his treatment of women. the last thing in the world hillary clinton would want to deal with is a combination about wikileaks, stories about investigations of the foundation that were squashed allegedly, and any questions related to e-mails. it is testament to the clinton campaign and her standing that this has not caused the bottom to drop out, but it is also a testament to the fact that we are a divided country. as i said, a lot of the impact has been to give hillary clinton a rallying cry. john: here are two things to draw the parallel. the difference between the access hollywood tape in the accusations of sexual predation -- that was new information, and it was also information that went directly to donald trump's behavior. in clinton's case, this is reinforcing an old storyline, and so far it has not linked directly to anything she did that is new. it doe

kellyanne conway, donald trump's campaign manager, came out and said she could not support mitt romney. newt gingrich said it would be a betrayal to the base. on the other hand, a lot of republicans want to see him in that position, want to see trump expanding his cabinet a little bit there. francine: what is the one thing that surprises you the most in this transition? a lot of things are surprising. trumps different, donald is different. what is the one thing you would to that gives us more of a clue we are seeing with donald trump's appointments? ben: it is the fact that donald trump is going out on this thank-you two are -- they do not tour,o call it a victory but it is a victory tour. they want to keep that crowd intensity, the stadium rally thing that brought him to the presidency. he wants to push that as far as he can. maybe he cannot do it in the white house, but he wants to do the stadium rally thing for a long time into his presidency. tom: then brodie, thank you so much, from washington this morning. who knows what we will see today. ian shepherdson is with us as well. give
