The way that president-elect trump is handling the transition to the oval office. beth, you know, you look at the numbers compared to past presidents, obama and clinton. they scored when they made the transition. should that be something that donald trump and his camp should be looking at closely? >> you know, this was a close election. hillary clinton did win the popular vote by more than a 2% margin. thats not small. the countrys very, very divided about this incoming president. theres no ques...

A former commander in the navy s.e.a.l.s, has accepted the offer. the announcement has not officially been made. ryan zinke will be tapped to become the secretary of the interior. we are back with our political experts. he is moving quickly, relatively speaking compared to predecessors to fill out the cabinet. its impressive the speed at which hes doing this. >> whats also impressive is that donald trump is not doing it because he has a bunch of ious. if he had them it may have been to chris chr...

This is like nothing weve ever seen before. we knew that by the end of the campaign. but the question is what kind of president would donald trump be? and wow. it is almost hard to wrap your mind around. i dupree with you that there were lots lots of. as leader of the free world you do set an example for free press in countries around the world. so that was -- i just -- you know, he cant help himself there and i just wish he would figure out a way to stop do inning that. there was a line he made...

I think that given how divisive the campaign was over the course of a year and a half, the us versus them tone of the trump campaign day after day, there is an opportunity here that i think he could take and probably should take in the transition to give a speech not exactly like but similar to the more perfect union speech that then senator obama gave in 2008 that really outlined his views on race in america. trump doesnt necessarily have to give a strictly race speech but a speech that really ...

Million people who voted for hillary clinton. did he win over anyone who didnt support hip? >> im not sure that he did, don. there was nothing wrong with what he said in that clip that you played. i think given how did i visive the campaign was over the course of a year and a half, the us versus them tone of the trump campaign day after day, there is an opportunity here that i think he could take and probably should take in the transition to give a speech not exactly like but similar to the more...

Putting america first and on the trades agenda, getting jobs back and making sure we hit our growth numbers, that is a secretary of commerce, that is a secretary of the treasury, that will be a secretary of state that all play an integral role in these kind of issues. sure, you could go back and find some transaction that maybe somebody didnt like but, you know, i think its more important and i think america is looking into the future, as we should, and were seeing a lot of people that didnt sup...

But this is talking about donald trump now. it doesnt worry you at all? >> its different. you have someone who is not just putting out information. hes actually attacking people. he attacked the cast of "hamilton." he attacked jeff zeleny, a cnn colleague. >> thats called free speech. >> no. hold on. >> margaret. >> heres the problem. a lot of republicans are stuck in this position of -- look, theres this hopeful moment that republicans never thought they would have. right? even republicans who ...

Thought they would have. so even republicans who didnt support donald trump feel that maybe there is an opportunity to get real policy through. >> of course. a huge opportunity. >> and then we have these totally dichotomous experiences of really -- yes, having real concern about some of the sentiments and ideas that hes expressing through twitter, the propaganda and the lies and the falsehoods he is propagating. that is serious concern. >> it is not even the ideas necessarily. just the impulses ...

No sense that he will not be confirmed. republicans are unanimous as far as i can tell in the support. democrats, joe manchin, albeit, you know, a conservative democrat stood up in support of jeff sessions today. is there any sign this wont be smooth sailing in the senate? >> smooth sailing and confirmed are two different things. the point just being made about how the community is responding. a community already nervous about the concept of president trump, how that nervousness whether translat...

Transition team, 16 people, and 4 of them are his family members and he feels good about his family members, what do they know about governing this country, about choosing the right people? >> they know a lot about mr. trump. and they have been unbelievably helpful to him during the campaign, and they were incredibly helpful to him during his career as both a television personality and a real estate developer. for me, i dont understand why that is a big issue. if anything, what we need to do for...
