washington usually have a more subtle style. doing things behind the scenes, how does one work with the other? >> i think there is a lot of advantages to it. i think the american people support the mandate. they want stuch to get done, you can throw a lot of criticisms at trump, one thing they have said is he is done things in his life that are truly remarkable. the american people are just tired of the talk from politicians. i think the dynamic will be interesting. he has a bully pulpit and he can call out senate democrats if he wants to. he has a mandate right now. >> some folks say you have to be careful about assuming too much of a mandate. charlie kirk, thank you so much, great to see you. >> a man hunt is under way at this hour for an pennsylvaniaed cop killer in pennsylvania -- ul for an alleged cop killer in pennsylvania. actually, that is now over, we're glad to tell you. officials say that the male suspect in the shooting died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound according to police. a woman's body has also been found. po

his day job is in washington. you will see him there. and nobody wants to create, a tenuous logistical headache long term for the public or for the service obviously but he's, he loves the trip to the washington, d.c., last week. he is still talking about the meeting with president obama and meetings with vice president biden. leader mcconnell and speaker ryian. that is where the day job is. that is where he will be most focused. obviously very unique situation with somebody incredibly successful in entire non-political industry in a city away from washington, d.c. but he knows the job entails. he will have the support of his family as he always has. this is very exciting time. bill: kellyanne, we get announcements today? will it happen today? >> well, possibly, but today he is very focused on flotilla of meetings if you will and, it caps off with a 5:00 p.m. meeting between vice president-elect pence, president-elect trump and prime minister abe from japan. and that is a meeting where they will be discussing probably more informally sin

washington will change. and chris, i tell you this, on day one, we're not waiting until the inaugural. the first week of january, when this house is sworn in, we will get to work that day because there is a lot to do and we cannot waste time. >> all right. let's go through a lightning round, quick questions, quick answers on some of the ideas that donald trump laid out during the campaign, and you tell me how practical they are and how quickly you can do them. one, build a wall on our southern border. >> well, i think number one, yes, you do have to secure the southern border. you have to put a wall. you could be all virtual with the airplanes as well. i think that is very doable and one of the first things that needs to be done. >> that's interesting. paul ryan fudge on the that too this week. you're not committed to a brick and mortar wall along the border for the entire line. >> we look at the border, and this is something that the house knows a great deal about. when you look at a wall, you also have the

doug mckelway joins us live from washington with more on all of this. how serious of a threat is this to the possible outcomes on tuesday, doug? reporter: well, jon, in terms of a threat to distort or manipulate actual vote count, probably not much. the reason? the voting system in the united states is deeply diverse vied. elections are done state by state. within each state, direct by district, polling place, by polling place. mr. is no single tabulating center and no interserver to connect them all. that said, there is little doubt that russia under president putin has been trying to disrupt and sew seeds of doubt about our election process. >> the u.s. intelligence community is confident that the russian government directed recent compromises of u.s. persons and institutions including from u.s. political organizations. next these thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the u.s. election process. can't get any plainer than that. reporter: johnson evidently referring there to the wiki release of dnc emails last summer, which resulted in e

he also knows washington inside and out. he's well respected. and there is no better choice, i believe, for donald trump to have picked, if he wants to hit the ground running, no learning curve. and a president who doesn't have government experience needs those people around him who do. certainly this is the person who i think can build a staff that is going to be in tune to what the president needs to do from day one. >> you have some tea party patriots and other conservatives who have warned precisely because of the strength that you just articulated, that he would not be the right choice, that they didn't want a washington insider, but someone that's maybe a mini trump. >> the reality is, it takes three to tango here in washington. it takes the judiciary, the legislative and the executive. in order to get anything done in washington, you have to be able to move legislation. and that requires expertise. there's no doubt if donald trump wants this aggressive outsider agenda to be successful, you need to know how the inside works. >> what about

trump when he arrives in washington this morning. we'll see him as the movement begins in new york, headed in peter's direction. how much does president-elect trump have on his plate when he get theres, peter? reporter: martha, president lech trump talked for months about draining the swamp in washington, d.c. this is his first trip to the swamp since the election. he will check out the new work space and new residence at white house. we're 2 1/2 hours from seeing two men who exhaustively attacked each other over last several months. actually talk in person, instead of through the press. that is president obama and president-elect trump. trump targeted obama's leadership style on just about everything that he has done for years you but it goes both ways. just on sunday obama was making fun of trump having his twitter account temporarily taken over by staff. during the campaign, president obama was regularly dismissive of trump's chances to win presidency. mentioning several times that world leaders asked him about the prospects of tr

trump's actual diplomatic swing through washington. joe corner political reporter of the hill is here to decipher what's really going on here. we appreciate you coming in friday night, joe. what is going on? normally any president after contentious race gets a grace period. >> honeymoon period. >> i would say this week in terms of our leaders, in a year where there has really been nothing to be proud of. we saw america at its best. we saw we can execute a peaceful transition of power. the president inviting the president-elect to the white house. extending olive branch. even elizabeth warren referred to as poke hand as poci can work with this president. calling a good man. they were supposed to talk 15 minutes yesterday and they went on for about an hour. both of them said look, we had a good talk. some of that for the cameras. these two men actually related to one another. look at the media headlines. >> that's the point i was going to make. compare with our leaders. compared to a media that only seems to want to divide and conquer an

welcome to washington. donald trump spent his first weekend as president-elect at trump tower in new york city where his trusted advisors got to work hammering out critical decisions. we now know that all important job goes to reince priebus, the washington insider tied to the republican establishment. we begin our coverage tonight with chief national correspondent ed henry and what this tells us, this pick about a trump presidency. >> good to see you. there's a practical part of this building a government is daunting enough. log jam of filling hundreds of jobs until donald trump got this power structure in place but he also may be trying to fuse these vastly different wings of the republican party. the revolutionary side from breitbart news and the establishment side from the rnc. >> reporter: president-elect donald trump made it official tapping steve bannon senior strategist while reince priebus will serve as chief-of-staff. >> reince is a surprise star. >> the outgoing and his close ties with house spea

wanting change in washington d.c. we have seen that tea party movement change and we see the same themes addressed this time around. globally it is what happens over the last eight years. where do you think we are as a country? >> it is interesting. people want two things that are contradictory. they want change and washington to work together. they may go together. but people are frustrated and why donald trump has appeal, is that he will change, but people say, i think he will at least get something done. the expectation that the election will produce an atmosphere in which things get done. and that may not be so easily to realize and you could have greater frustration. it is if hillary clinton wins the election, republican senators fighting for their job and promise the voters they will check on hillary clinton. their man date will be to stop hillary clinton and not to cooperate with hillary clinton if that scenario emerges. and one of the things that might happen and change the scenario is after november 8th and

trump goes to washington is the phrase of the day. that's what we watched all throughout this historic moment. president-elect trump went to capitol hill. he flew from new york city on trump force one as they call it he is the first president-elect to arrive on his own private jet to washington. speaker of the house paul ryan and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell greeted him this afternoon. one of mr. trump's biggest hurdles is going to be getting the g.o.p. unified to get the gop agenda back on track. he and house speaker ryan spoke briefly to reporters. watch this. >> we had a fantastic, productive meeting about getting the work, rock up our sleeves and going to work for the american people. donald trump had one of the most impressive victories we have ever seen. we are going to turn that victory into progress for the american people. and we are now talking about how w we are going to hit the ground running to make sure we can get this country turned around and make america great again. >> we had quite a bit -- together. i thin

they do not appreciate the organs and adjuncts of washington, dc, working against them. this is an administration for the forgotten man and the forgotten woman. >> as you mentioned, she did an incredible job. we knew she was talented before, and she was with cruz and she has free reach with the different groups and she stayed on message with donald trump and now echoing the same sentiments. the forgotten men and women. that is the difference with donald trump and why i said it could be different for america, if we are ready for something difficulty. we have been promised change in the past, president obama, and promised change on both sides of the aisle. >> we got clump change. >> we get another politician in washington, dc, nothing changes. the beauty of that, the thing that make me happy about the sound bite he has won and the senior advisor said, everything he talked about prior to winning he will go ahead and perpetrate after he won. that means drain the swamp, get rid of the lobbyists, get rid of the connections and the networking and rebuild the police. reaching ac

welcome to america's news headquarters from washington. >> nice to be where you. donald trump spending this sunday working on the transition from trump tower in new york, i'm leland vittert. good sunday. >> the clock is ticking toward inauguration day as president-elect donald trump mac faces his first big decision, his chief of staff. a his transition team is being led by mike pence. and they will pull together names for cabinet posts and top advisors. doug mcelway has more. >> reporter: good afternoon. one thing we know for sure, donald trump has been up to this morning cranking up the old twitter account and firing off a series of tweets. i'll read three of them. first one, john kasich of the great, great, great state of ohio called to con grat ligs me on the win. the people of ohio were incredible. and george h.w. called to express their best wishes. very nice. and mitt romney called to con grat lit me, very nice. and it appears that the republican party is moving closer to donald trump and it is not the other way around. certainly raises questions about his l

and hello again from fox news in washington. well, just two days after "the new york times" said the trump transition was in disarray, the president-elect named much of his national security team. that's far ahead of the timeline of other incoming presidents. congressman mike pompeo to lead the cia, senator jeff sessions as attorney general, and general michael flynn to be national security adviser. in a moment, we'll speak live with the vice president-elect, governor mike pence, who's leading the transition team about what's next. but we begin with fox news correspondent brian llenas outside trump national golf club in bedminister, new jersey, where mr. trump is conducting job interviews this weekend. bryan? >> reporter: hi, chris. well, governor mitt romney met with president-elect trump yesterday here in his new jersey golf clubhouse for nearly 90 minutes. the trump team characterizing the conversation as extremely positive and productive. romney, who called trump a conman during the campaign could be a candidate for secretar

inside washington even though he hails from wisconsin, right? >> exactly, the chairman of the rnc, he is the inside of inside. he manage today deal with donald trump very well. they had a long-standing relationship. priebus was in the fox hole from the beginning and stuck with him throughout even the toughest times. steve bannon is someone from the outside wants to -- wanted to take down the republican and make no bones about saying that. so you have the guy that embodies the republican party and the guy that wants to take down the republican party inside the white house. i will make the point, jon. in one sense, trump wanted to, i think, mimic the campaign structure that worked so well for him and felt comfortable. that's that. also to keep bannon on the inside because some of these republicans were worried that he was actually going to ride the movement to take them out of office in '18. jon: chief strategist, he has been a navy officer, he was as we mentioned head of breitbart news but called for ryan's -- you know, stepping down, the ouster

joins us from washington. before we get to your% per cass city, you talked to the "new york times" earlier this week in an article they were doing and you told them to their collective faces they didn't cover the campaign fairly. that took some moxxy. and how did you arrive at that conclusion? >> i think and it wasn't just the "new york times" although i did say it to the "times" about the "times." i think a lot of the mainstream media just decided after the conventions that donald trump was beyond the pale. he was just not acceptable as a president and so, therefore, the normal rules of objectivity and fairness no longer applied in the "new york times" case they would talk about flailing or desperate in a way they would never say about the clinton campaign verbs like lurched. this was not on the opinion page it was front page. >> back to trump's deficiencies. every article started thought a different way and all circled back. >> bill i have got to tell you ever any doubt about the "times" bias only show you t

as the number two person in washington. i think all mr. trump was trying to do is give governor pence or vice president-elect pence the role he thinks he deserves to have in terms of how he's going to help him run and organize the government. >> fox confirmed on election night mr. trump reached out to mitt romney who was so critical of trump in the primary season. while we don't know what the substance was, but it may have lead to this. best wishes for our duly elected president. all of this is as proceed tests continue outside trump tower and beyond for a third consecutive day and into the day today. in fact, these are live pictures of the protest in manhattan right now, the scene outside trump tower last night was very chaotic as police saw an unattended package and quickly moved hundreds of protesters and reporters out of potential harm's way. turned out to be nothing there. protest also erupted in portland, oregon where there were 26 arrests, one person shot there. other protests happening in los angeles, dallas, miami,

making sure we feel washington, d.c. with people that serve selflessly and strong and know how to fight for this place. >> something you are really passionate about is va reform and changes that are needed there. what do you hope to change? >> you know, the va is servicing people that love this country so much that they were willing to give the last breath in their lungs. what they deserve back is love and anybody that works at the va that isn't giving them the love that they deserve, the care that they deserve, needs to be gotten rid of immediately. the veterans serviced by the va, their commitment was to serve every person across this land. it's what they deserve. it's what they have to have. >> you are talking so much about service. you've seen what's going on around this country right now. the protesters saying that president-elect trump is not their president. some folks burning the american flag. what is your message to them? >> burning the american flag is not an act of activistism. look at people like pat tillman

welcome this morning. >> it's a great day in washington. martha: we were just watching the president in greece. did you get a chance to hear what he had to say? >> are you talking about his legacy? it's a total repudiation of everything he has stood for the last 8 years. we are talking about the republicans being in control of the statehouse, the governorships, complete control in washington. we now have $20 trillion of debt. our children and grandchildren are going to deal with. isis is a worldwide threat to civilization. more people living in poverty than ever. more people on food stamps than ever. health insurance completely unaffordable. when you go up and down the line, how president obama can think that's a positive legacy and the election wasn't a total repudiation of his policies, he's in denial. martha: we have seen him be gracious over the course of the last few days. i'm sure i would imagine you would agree with that. but today we heard more of the protection of the obama legacy as you just alluded to. he says he believes his ide

. >> look, washington, dc is what washington is, and like when i came to washington from the outside i picked a chief staff who was an insider not that it would rub off on me but i could work the system better for my state wednesday and that is mr.. it is a great choice. >> steve bannon the chief strategist, senior counsel is a harvard educated former investment banker, navy vet but underfire for what critics have called the right wing marred with racist anti-muslim articles and headlines and antisemitic and the rap against him is that it is not appropriate for him to be in the white house. what did you say? >> the critics, what the critics are saying is inappropriate, it is inappropriate for a conservative to be in the white house and that is all he is. he is not attached to any anti muslim thoughts or plans but what conservatives want is to be a nation of law, we are all equal under the law. that is how it is supposed to be and the law is above all of us and above the government. for so long now, at least eight years with video been seeing the government plays favorites, look at th

this from "the washington post. fear of muslims is rational, what trump's new national security advisor has said online, presumably secretly. other headlines targeted trump's family like this one from the "times" ivanka's trump presence at a meeting with japan's leader raises questions. not what questions but just questions. one more from "the washington post why trump's family being in his administration trust. our friend chris plant is here with the answer. can they? >>. no. >> sews what's going to happen? >> absolutely not. this elected to the news media was the equivalent of 9/11 to the intelligence community. [ laughter ] this is their epic failure. this is it this is the catastrophe. it was a slam dunk. it was done. they had it. it was in the bag. hillary was going to win. >> yeah. >> and she lost. it's like the towers coming down. they have -- literally. this is the mourning, the post-it notes in new york. comfort dogs on campus. play dough. this is anywhere 9/11. it really is it is catastrophe for them. they

abc/"washington post," up five. her polling has her up two. most of the tightening has been a result of republican consolidation of their vote. republicans previously were about 70%, 75%, 80%, now they're up to 85% behind donald trump. i think obviously people like paul ryan, the speaker, tread cru -- tread cruz, his former rival, have now decided they're voting for donald trump. i think that's a signal despite their concerns about his lack of quaul at this fashions, characters, whatever. she is in a position where most americans, according to the fox poll, think she's going to win. 56%. only a third, 35%, think he'll win, and the difference at this juncture i think is ground game. she really has a ground game. i don't think anybody thinks he has a sufficient ground game to push the numbers one or two points at the very end. >> i want to turn to one of the biggest developments over these last ten days, and that was fbi director comey's shocking announcement that he's reopening the criminal investigation into hillary clinton and the e-mails. no

but every institution in washington can use reforming and so can the washington correspondent's association. >> you say, molliy no one takes the white house press corps. >> they have put a lot of credibility on the line in arguing that hillary clinton should be elected president and it was the moral duty of journalist to oppose donald trump. some less fair than others. and they lost. and so donald trump has kind of an upper hand right now and i think that it is a bad situation and good to have a media to hold powerful people accountable, but we have broken trust with the viewers and reader and listeners and i don't get a feeling that political media is trying to make up for how poorly they handled the campaign cycle. >> and space is not owned by the press corps. but the taxpayers of the united states and if he wanted to keep the press corps out, he could, couldn't he? >> the correspondent's association determine who will sit in the special room or not. it is true, that the trump administration can do anything they want to. they can turn it in to a kitchen and with the low favorability ratin

they came to washington wide-eyed to rip the status quo from its roots. it sucked the soul from them. that's how washington rules. it saps the soul. turns going for broke into getting along. it takes colossal and turns it into collegial. steady as she goes over swingin for the fences. i worry when it happens when restless spirits are quieted by an institution that won't change and will not budge. even if cnn can figure out voters are restless for change. those voters didn't bring a developer to washington two admire the marble but to shake the place to its core. they have given him a shot. i sure hope donald trump takes it. >>> hello. i'm kimberly guilfoyle. it's 5:00 in new york city. this is "the five." it's been one week since the election and the trump team is forming quickly to form a new administration. the president-elect spent the day ahead of the transition team. vice president-elect mike pence at trump tower narrowing down the list of candidates for the cabinet and senior white house positions. reince priebus and steve bannon have been named. co

joining me now here in washington, d.c. is jason miller exhibit t , communications director and transition member. good evening. >> good evening. what a great time to be a live. >> indeed. we understand the decision is coming soon as to who will be the president-elect's chief of staff and we're hearing that reince priebus and steve bannon the ceo of bright bart are in the running. what can you tell us? >> we know whoever the president-elect is going to pick, it will be somebody very good. he has excellent judgment. he surrounds himself with the best people. he knows what the task is at hand. we need to repeal and replace obamacare and secure our boarder, whoever he puts in in those top leadership positions it will be top notch people ready to lead this country forward. >> if it's reince or steve bannon, do you can that both of them will end up being in the administration? >> both played critical roles on the campaign with chairman priebus running the rnc. i would mention that kelleyann conway, very historic and she did a fa

look, trump ran against washington. and rightfully so. washington is broken. it is up to us to come up with a better way to move forward. i look forward to working with president-elect trump and vice president elect pence. i look forward to rebuildingal security. repeal and replace obama care and things like that. >> i know that you will have opposition along wait on many goals. we also want you to keep in touch with us about the earmark issue knowing it is coming back next year as promised by the speaker. we know you have objections and we would love for you to keep us updated. >> thank you. i ask you all to keep praying for our country and military of america. >> in bedminister, new jersey w, where the president elect and vice president elect are in the clubhouse. checking with sources to see if there is any new announce as it relates to the incoming administration. bring you that as it happened. on what has become the biggest story though of the weekend outside of the cabinet appointments, vice preside president-elect mike pence going to a play. he didn't e

donald trump was heading to washington dc until he arrived there. vice president mike pence is in the office as well as his wife. not only donald trump is there but we are waiting mike pence, vice president-elect visiting with vice president joe biden, that is happening today but some interesting words, newt gingrich calling donald trump a strong ceo who makes business very fast and it is impossible to accelerate the process saying it would be done to accelerate. earlier in the program our guests that you have to that everyone to assume a certain role. if it gets packed through the security process and there is a red flag you have to withdraw that name and that is what karl rove was explaining, causing further volatility as the president-elect gets ready. interesting to hear from newt gingrich, mike pence, donald trump relationship and the bush/cheney relationship. we are watching for more news from the transition office. president-elect trump and senator john mccain butting heads over russia. is it a good idea for the us to do that with moscow? is

they were so angry at washington, they didn't want to hear what the reporters were saying. jon: to the point you made earlier, there was awful lot of coverage of donald trump that could not be described as positive. trump university got a lot of coverage, the tax situation, covers of his tax returns to the new york times. that got a lot of coverage. you know, the whole access hollywood thing. >> that came late in the game and my guess is a lot of people had their minds made up and one thing i never -- i never underestimated is how much people don't like washington. they don't -- jon: you work there, lynn. >> i know. i understand that -- i usually see it as a distinction between not liking government and not liking the people in government because if this is true, there has to be some organized way of figuring out how to run your building or your country, so you kind of can't hate your condo board, you can't hate congress as an institution but i don't want to sound like -- like somebody who doesn't get that if you don't think your institution is doing anything, you want to t

he's known in washington. he navigated during the primary season as chairman of the rnc, a very difficult situation and ended up in the end being the one who stopped the anti-trump movement and helped mr. trump during those -- during the general election and having a real field operation through the republican party. the trump campaign didn't seem to have that. the republican national committee had that. i think it made a difference for the president-elect. >> so walk through the chief-of-staff's role and what reince priebus will be doing? take us behind the curtain in terms of how important that role is? >> it really depends -- i hate to -- but it really is a reaction what the president wants. each president's different in how they deal with their chief-of-staff. in theory the chief-of-staff is supposed to be the point person within the white house for the president in not only managing the white house staff but as all of the departments and agencies come to the white house through different mechanism to thro

welcome to washington. i'm bret baier. president obama leaves for his international trip right about now. his mission, to convince world leaders that the man he insisted was not fit to be his successor might not be so bad after all. before leaving, the president tried to defend his record and convince the 45

he's going to want people who are prepared to take on the the washington establishment. he's going to want people who committed to draining the swamp as he put it. i think what he doesn't want is go along to get along traditional work with the bureaucracy, become a street lobbyist insider. i think they're going to look very hard for people who are commit today change, who understand the general direction, not just of president-elect trump and vice president elect pence but also the americans who elected them. there was a real popular surge of people who want washington changed and that's the people who president-elect trump represents. >> which is brings me to one of his proposals and that is a policy that would ban many members of the -- from lobbying the same federal agency they are trying to speak. i like this idea. >> he had a number of very significant proposals including banning congressman from lob lobbying. there's a lot to be said for that. we have to find new ways to work -- you want to be able to share information but you don't want insiders to have huge advan

a lot of americans believe that he might can change washington. the media cast him in a negative light. everything that i have seen that donald trump has done since the election has been a commitment to keep his promises, to put good people around him and to carry through with his policies. so far, i've been really impressed at what he has been doing with personnel and policy. >> it has certainly been against the consensus and some of the cynicism that greeted him when he was first elected. senator, thank you very much. we will follow these developments. what does it say about donald trump and who he is considering to surround himself with? to hear the media tell it, yes men and women. lately indications are anything but. how will they spin that? tomorrow. >> hello, everyone. it's 5:00 in new york city, and this is "the five." a huge day for president-elect trump as the next commander in chief holds a series of high profile meetings as he continues to form a new administration. transition team officials say mr. trump is meeting with big names at t

welcome to washington. i'm bret baier. it has been eight days since donald trump was elected to be the 45th president of the united states. one week and one day. it took president-elect obama nearly three weeks after election day in 2008 to announce his first cabinet choice. it took president-elect ronald reagan five weeks in 1980. president-elect carter, fou

but at the same time, this is an administration that will run very differently than typical washington. >> and doug, behind you looks pretty calm this morning. i understand mr. trump went to church this morning. is that right? >> reporter: well, he had planned to go to church this morning. that's what we had heard from kellyanne conway. and the pool reporter he said be prepared to follow trump to church just a block away. i don't think it happened because there was no sign of any motorcade. it may be just a row gis ticks of transporting donald trump around midtown manhattan at a time like this. last night i know he wanted to go to the ultimate fighting championship and secret service managed to convince him not do that. we're expecting another protest at 2:00 this afternoon winding its way from near central park to this area. has not happened as of yet though. meanwhile, inside the transition team continues its frantic pace of work. the team expected to make an announcement perhaps today or tomorrow of who will hold the reins of the chief of staff. the betting is of course is on reince

does donald trump know how washington works. mike pence knows how washington works and in the past stayed true to conservative rot and able to reach across the aisle and just in his personality. as we look at the live shot and white house briefing and capitol club on the other. it is a short distance to actual capitol hill where a meeting with mitch mcconnell will take place. these are important people that donald trump needs to get to know better. >> he had the biggest meeting of all with the sitting president p. for those who might have missed what they talk about we'll play it now. >> you just had an opportunity to have an excellent conversation with president-elect trump. it was wide ranging and talked about the organizational issues in setting up the white house and talked about foreign policy and we talked about domestic policy and as i said last night, my number one priority in the coming two months is to try to facilitate a transition that insures our president-elect is successful and i had been very encouraged by the, i

it would be front page of the "the washington post." it would be front page of "the new york times." he must immediately withdraw from the race. what he did was disgraceful. tell you what? they don't even write about it. so donna brazile was fired from cnn. that's good. why wasn't she fired from the dnc? what she did, totally dishonest. did you see her on television other night. where did he get them? where did you get them? she is going, questioner was asking them. where did you get those questions? where did you get them? well, ah, i got them, well -- i got them, i don't know where i got them. i'll tell you what. she should be fired. she should be fired. much more importantly, hillary clinton should be fired. [cheering] hillary clinton. done that brazile couldn't answer the questions. she looked like a fool on television. you know what is worse? she took the questions an gave them to "crooked hillary." that's cheating. "crooked hillary" saying i'm sorry, i can't accept them, we have to report this incident. she took the questions and

are turned off by what they see in washington. everybody cares about their health insurance. everybody cares about how much money they have in the bank account and pocketbooks every single month and so when families are getting these letters in the mail, in fact, i had a friend from south carolina text me a copy of his letter that he received yesterday and family premium went from $915 a month to 1200 a month. that's a 12% increase. that's good off the table. that's a big difference. this is a big news and that's why mr. trump is talking about this in pennsylvania today. jenna: when you're add -- advising him to go too far on investigation news and why would that be? >> mr. trump is fundamentally trying to change washington. most people at home are watching are sick and tired of promises given every four years, things get worse specially over the past eight years, that's why mr. trump laid out ethics reform plan including term limits and people leaving administrations, being able to come back and lobby. when we see this news, the

the washington, d.c. suburbs bears no relation to the southern part of the state. >> i like the delaware idea. dc is looking for statehood, combine it with maryland and delaware. >> the dakotas. >> that's just greedy. >> just dakota now. >>> a group of children are suing the u.s. government because climate change is threatening their future. the kids, seen here, say the government is not doing enough to keep global warming in check and it is creating a warming through land lease policies. last week a judge denied the request to have the case thrown out. meaning the kids who are ages 9 to 20 will go to court in oregon next year. trump will likely find himself the subject of a court case. this will be the first lawsuit he was ever involved in. the president-elect met with one of the plaintiffs at trump tower look at that. i thought it would be lost on you. paul, what do you think of this here? global warming, isn't it time the kids banded together? >> yeah, these i kids, they wrote up all of the litigation.

in washington, so i think all mr. trump was trying to do is give governor pence or vice president-elect pence the role that he thinks he deserves to have in running and organizing the government. >> because pence has long washington experience, and christie does not, trump may see pence as the right guy to build the best team. remember, there are 4700 jobs to fill over the next nine weeks. all this as protests continue outside trump tower in new york and beyond for a third consecutive night. the scene outside trump tower, a bit chaotic. police found an unattended package and moved hundreds of protesters and reporters out of potential harm's way. nothing was there. hundreds of people spray pasting graffiti. one man was shot by a man who got into a confrontation with a protester and then opened fire. in los angeles, dallas, miami, boston, kansas city, burlington, vermont and many other cities, too. >> doug, thank you so much. >> and a little bit more on the protest. live pictures right now. union square, new york, on th

yeah, good to washington. that's where all the action will be. >> there you go. >> john roberts live in saras a sarasota. >>> fox news alert, moments ago, reports of who donald trump could be considering for his cabinet if he wins the white house. we'll tell you what we know. apparently on the list, lieutenant general michael flynn who is going to react coming up in about ten minutes. >> and a brand-new wikileaks bombshell. did the clinton foundation fund chelsea's wedding and living expenses for a decade? >> sweet. >> the man who literally wrote the book, called "clinton cash," peter schweizer is going to weigh in now. ♪ ♪ [ clock ticking ] time. you only have so much. that's why we wanna make sure you won't have to wait on hold. and you won't have to guess when we'll turn up. because after all... we should fit into your life. [ laughing ] not the other way around. [ clock ticking ] >> right now, she's being protected by a rig system. i've been saying it for a long time. you can't review 650,000 emails in

washington is built on a swamp. he wants to get rid of those washington insider, e those people who have been part of the establishment for so long. the reince priebus argument, a lot of people are saying, no, no, no, we want an outsider. >> how do you know where the andre is? it has to be someone from the outside who doesn't care about. >> most importantly you need someone in this position. you're talking about the chief of staff, the most important role of the entire cabinet because they have the most access to the president. when you're dealing with someone like mr. trump, you need someone that he'd listen to. kellyanne conway has been tossed around but she came on board when no one knew where it was going. she stayed stable ups and downs and positive and she's still by his side to this day. >> the last time we had a president that was an outsider was jimmy carter. he came from georgia and wanted outsiders and you know what that was. >> you want someone who can walk the fence. >> send us your thoughts. we'll be t
