Perry. >> what was more surreal, performing with vanilla ice here tonight or your big meeting in new york yesterday? one at the moment? >> you can say performing right now. is always number one. >> theres no way to get more with vanilla ice. your thoughts? >> well, i would not say that performing with vanilla ice on "dancing with the stars" was the kind of auditions we were looking at when i was working in the obama transition in 08. >> i think thats a fair point in terms of qualifications.

Also said that was awful. that was awful. but i dont think you -- >> symone. >> we have a reasonable expectation you go to the theater and youre going to be entertained, and not lectured. >> mike pence isnt just any citizen. hes the vice president-elect of the united states. >> also a double standard is evident here. you mentioned president obama going to a play. if he had gone to a play in 2008 do you think he would have possibly, replay the scene in 08 or this scene unfolded, when they have le...

Than what we saw in 2008? so by extension, now, mike pence did not set that tone, but he is attached to donald trump. so is it surprising whether its appropriate or not? is it surprising when donald trump set this tone that then you see people responding, i mean, not even as badly as some of the things we saw donald trump say? >> right. listen, thats a fair point. this was an incredibly bruising race, far more so than 12 or 08. fair point. the main reason the race was so bruising and our country...

>> you did a walk on on "the apprentice." >> well, they asked me to do it. i really dont know him that well. i learned far more about him in the campaign. i was troubled by a whole lot of things in the campaign. the only thing i can say to my colleagues is, you know, president obama met with him and said the presidency is a sobering experience. so i hope that president trump will rise to the occasion. and when he does, we will try to be supportive. but when he doesnt, we will use everything weve...

Around, and the white voters who joined the coalition with obama in 08 and 12, maybe saw there wasnt as much going for them in that coalition. >> and it seems like democrats really tried to just use demographic building blocks to get over the line. >> exactly right. >> and your reporters found that some ways in florida as well. because that didnt exactly come out, the latino vote, the way democrats expected. >> jorge ramos told us in florida, there was a secret hidden trump vote. >> and this is ...

I think, you know, we talked a lot last week after the results came in about the surprise that, for instance, so many white women had voted for donald trump. there was the expectation they would vote for hillary. we talked about what the election meant in terms of race, racism, racial anxiety in the country. particularly because you had a lot of white voters who voted for obama in 08 and 12 now voting for trump, and people wondered what did that mean. what a lot of our reporters, not only emily,...

Confined by media norms, and okay, but then the story is, what youre not doing, if you dont know what they are doing, thats that i think one of the situations. the point of the obama campaign back in 07 and 08 ands he started his administration wasnt so much that he took time as trump is doing to put his -- his administration in place, its that there was no drama surrounding it. and thats what seems to be getting the trump administration off on a little bit of a -- of a interesting footing. its ...
