Somebody who covered donald trump on the campaign trail along with his other republican primary opponents. this was similar to what we saw from donald trump as candidate. reiterating promises and pledges hes made on the campaign trail publicly in his first press conference in president-elect and first in nearly six months. there is a lot to unpack. obviously the two biggest topics we went in wanting to ask questions about were russia and how he was going to separate himself from his business int...

>> can you give us a question? >> dont be rude. im not going to give you a question. i am not going to give you a question. you are fake news. go ahead. >> can you state categorically that nobody. [ applause ] mr. president-elect that is not appropriate. >> do you think. obama went too far with the sampgss he put on russia after the hacking? >> no. >> what do you think of lindsay gram gra hams plan to send you a bill for tougher ones. >> plans to send me a bill for what? i hadnt heard lindsey gr...

And i would also note that he didnt answer a major question there at the end, when he was talking about how putin shouldnt be doing it. the question that he was asked was, can you definitively say that none of your people have had contact or meetings with russia during the course of this election? he didnt answer that. and that is a major piece in this puzzle that is still unknown, not to mention the fact that hes not going to release his tax returns. we dont know if theyre under audit. the irs ...

Somehow tell you divest completely. you cant let your family be involved in it. i think that you could have worked, you can work something out there that would be some empathetic certainly and also follows the law but i think if he it said im never going back, i think that, too, could help alleviate some of this. i think he has more to do here, even to meet minimum standards that hes publicly saying he wants to meet. >> ali velshi, on top of members of trumps base who may be watching, let me say...

You can move from michigan to tennessee and to north carolina and south carolina, you can move from south carolina back to michigan, you can do anywhere, you got a lot of states at play, a lot of competition. so its not like oh, gee, im taking the competition. we got a lot of places you can move and i dont care, as long as its within the united states, the borders of the united states. there will be a major border tax on these companies that are leaving and getting away with murder, and if our p...

What i thought was interesting was the degree to which that lawyer went to try and sort of muddy the waters. this is an either is or isnt situation. it is not a blind trust. its not even a shadowed trust. its just a trust. >> so what happens? will constitutional lawyers raise an objection? we have eight, nine days to go before the inauguration. >> yes, its a very big question as to who actually end up doing anything about this, and i think our best bet is congress. now, listening to rex tillerso...

Dislikes, his friendships. it wasnt really about deep issues of foreign policy, and i think for leaders in this city who have gone through so many. s and gone through a cold war, it will have struck them, the thinness, if you like, of the discussion in that news conference, not about the great international issues or the issues of state, but sometimes simply about his behavior, his likes, his dislikes and his friends, but no question, brian that, news conference will have been watched very, very...

In the news all the time every day, calling the shots, holding press conferences everybody has to go to and setting the agenda with advisers who get paid by you. >> did you notice -- >> this is a good business to be in. >> did you notice during the presser when his lawyer said hes not going to know anything about this. >> thats not possible. >> unless he sees it in the news or the papers. the fact that hes going to learn about it, period, doesnt that -- >> first of all it will be in the news and...

Will have reverberations on capitol hill, the president-elect says he wants to almost simultaneously repeal and replace the health care law, maybe same day, same week, same hour perhaps. i think that house speaker paul ryan might be frantically trying to figure out how to actually make that happen, given republicans still have not coalesced around some cohesive plan to replace the affordable care act and the time to repeal it is in wheels in motion. of course the fake news discussion and his bac...
