Position on the pair climate deal, hes not talking about repealing and replacing obamacare, he did not mention the wall in that video s there a sense that we dont really know who the country has just elected in terms of the policies that he stands for, the policies that he will enact? are we finding that pretty much everything he said on the campaign trail, lock her up, put hillary clinton in prison, is something thats negotiable right now? >> well, of course. remember, donald trump was always t...

Could help enrich or benefit ones companies. i think the aspect of having foreign leaders stay at your hotel because they want to, you know, maybe get some advantage in terms of talking about the administration or, you know, corporations, lobbyists, there have been already a number of associations, you have policy issues in front of the federal government that have stayed or held events at mr. trumps hotel. and the majority owner of mr. trumps hotel is mr. trump. he has made no indication hell p...

House staff picks. romney is are you mored to be interested in the secretary of state position. in washington, ryan, cnn political commentator and washington correspondent for the new yorker. ryan, let me begin with you. sources say if romney would get into government again, this is what he would want. not financial oreck nomic, but foreign policy position. he didnt mention that possibility specifically today when he spoke with reporters, but he was clear all they talked about were foreign polic...

Stuff, you know mitt romney, can they get past it and get they get on the same page with policy? >> governor romney expressed his point of view, as did donald trump. now the campaign is over, mitt romney has made it clear he wanting the help the president-elect govern effectively. so hes thought deeply and clearly about this stuff for a long time. he wants to share information with the president-elect and im sure vice versa. i think the key now, and governor romney has made this abundantly clear...

First public appearance since the day after the election when she conceded the race. she walked on the stage at the childrens defense fund at an event in washington, d.c. she got a standing ovation, and after acknowledging this very painful week, clinton urged her supporters to buck up and press on. >> i know that over the past week, a lot of people have asked themselves whether america is the country we thought it was. the divisions laid bare by this election run deep. but please listen to me w...

Interests. it will be a big question. i will ask those questions. >> it would be striking to have giuliani under fire by both democrats, republicans as well, about this money. >> youre right about that, by the way, its not just business ties. there are some policy issues as well. rand paul said he would ask tough questions about rudys support for the iraq war. you remember donald trump insists he didnt suprt the iraq war. thats of course in some dispute. but rudy giulianis support for it is well...

Next president. give him the opportunity to govern. i think this is going to be a difficult question for republicans here on capitol hill to have to answer for and i think this is potentially going to spread out through many of the policy issues that theyre going to have to grapple with. there were also questions about building the wall on the border with mexico. mccarthy seemed to say, perhaps we dont need a wall in every segment and perhaps we can do it with technology. its not clear if thats ...
