For the second night demonstrating against president elect donald trump. This is happening in multiple cities across the United States including dallas and philadelphia. Live pictures there. Earlier president obama and president elect donald trump met for the first time at the white house. The president said it was a wide ranging conversation. Its try to facilitate a transition that ensures success. I believe that it is important for all of us, regardless of party and regardless of political preferences to now come together, Work Together to deal with the many challenges that we face. And most of all, i want to emphasize to you, mr. President elect, that we now are going to want to do everything we can to help you succeed because if you succeed, then the country succeeds. Michelle kosinski joins me from outside the white house. What did president elect trump say . Despite the gorilla in the room being that he wants to roll back virtually all of president obamas policies and the fact that one day Prior White House staff was openly weeping, today it was all about lets get along for now. Lets put our best foot forward and reassure america. We heard donald trump call president obama a very good man. He may want to work with him in the future and even consult with him. Listen. I very much look forward to dealing with the president in the future, including counsel. Hes he explained some of the difficulties, some of the high flying assets and some of the really great things that have been achieved so, mr. President , it was a great honor being with you and i look forward to being with you many, many more times in the future. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. We are not we are not going to reporter the president at the very ensad he said this a joking way but he said, one thing you dont want to do is answer reporters questions when its in a scrum like this, which was kind of interesting, from one president to the next one. You know, the white house said that this was focused on the transition because we heard president obama call it an excellent meeting. What does that really mean under the circumstances. Looks like even though the president called it wide ranging and they did go over domestic and foreign policy, really they were talking about lets have this transition be orderly and efficient. Anderson . And it went on for some 90 minutes, which i believe was much longer than it was supposed to go for. I mean, these when you think just an extraordinary image today. Obviously these men have said a lot of things about each other over the years. Do you think todays meeting actually thawed any of that tensions or was this out of respect for the office this is how things are done. Thats a great question. When you look at some of the things that were said. Everybody is going back and replaying the videos. Its an historic, comedic contrast. Donald trump called president obama stupid, incompetent, said he was the fonder of isis, et cetera, et cetera. President obama said donald trump was dangerous and unfit to be president of the United States. Obviously they want to put that aside. You know, they both have the same interests of seeing america move forward and be successful ultimately. I thought it was really interesting later when you go to the white house and say all those things that president obama said during the campaign trail, what about that . And the white house isnt going to back away from that. They reiterated today, in fact, after this meeting that president obama meant everything he said on the campaign trail. That still stands. Anderson. Michelle kosinski, thank you very much. After his meeting with the president , trump headed to a meeting with House Speaker paul ryan. A pleasant tone. Phil mattingly tonight reports. Reporter a relationship defined by tepid acceptance at best. Nothings a blank check. You never give anybody for any reason a blank check on anything. Reporter and downright antagonism at worst. Maybe he doesnt know how to win. Reporter House Speaker paul ryan and president elect donald trump for Months Center stage in a delicate dance of clashing politics, policies meeting face to face today in washington. Now reliant on one another for success. Donald trump had one of the most impressive victories weve ever seen and were going to turn that victory into progress for the american people. So we had a very good meeting, very detailed meeting we are going to lower taxes as you know, and were going to put something together thats affordable and better. Reporter for trump ryan represents bridging the gap for the establishment gop an explicitly stated goal in trumps victory speech early wednesday morning. Now its time for america to bind the wounds of division. Have to get together. To all republicans and democrats and independents across this nation, i say it is time for us to come together as one united people. Reporter for ryan, a president that can finally sign policy priorities that have been collecting dust despite nearly seven years in the house majority. This congress, this house majority, this Senate Majority has already demonstrated improvement. Were able to pass legislation and be put it on the president s desk. Problem is president obama vetoed it. Now we have President Trump coming who is asking us to do this. Reporter advisors tell cnn both men have had positive things to say about the other in the wake of private meetings and postelection phone calls, but the two have more than just a strained relationship standing in their way. Ryan has faced criticism from conservative House Republicans for not fully supporting trump as the nominee and ryan splits on crucial issues like entitlement reform, trade, and and his hardline immigration stance but for now at least it appears each man is focusing on where they have Common Ground rather than differences. How do we make sure we are hitting the ground running . We are very excited about working with him to make sure that is the case. Phil joins me now from outside trump tower in new york. Donald trump has a long and in many ways controversial agenda. Paul ryan for his part has his own lengthy agenda. Which gets priority next year . Reporter well, anderson, i can tell you ive been talking to a number of lobbyists who could add a couple of zeroes to their retainers if they could answer that question. Its one of the unknowns partially because you dont necessarily know how Firm Donald Trump is on a number of his policy proposals, but in talking to republican officials, i think this underscores their willingness to put the past behind them. A tangible excitement about the possibility of moving some of the issues forward that they havent been able to over the course of the last five or six years, thats what theyre focused on right now. Theres low hanging fruit. There are areas of agreement, on health care, tax policy theyre going to start with first. The big question though is how willing is donald trump to work with House Republicans when they diverge from what his proposals are . That we dont have an answer to yet, anderson. Phil mattingly. Phil, thank you very much. John king, maria cardona. Youre a Hillary Clinton supporter. You are not happy about the results. What do you make of what you have seen over the last 36 hours in terms of this transition . A couple things, anderson. I agree with van and i think everybody on this panel that so far what we have seen in the transition should give us hope. But heres the problem with that. Donald trumps speech absolutely had the perfect tone. It had the right words, but five minutes of nice words is not going to make up for 15 months of what all of these communities that are now on the streets and many more who havent said anything but are incredibly afraid of whats going to happen under a trump administration, its going to take a lot more than just those five minutes of nice words to calm them. There are stories, not just of the folks who are attacking muslims. There are stories of Trump Supporters going up to women and grabbing them and calling them the c word. There are stories of Trump Supporters yelling at latinos, spic, you wetback, go back to mexico. There are stories of schools whose principals have had to put out a letter to their students telling them if you are lgbt, if you are muslim, if you are latino, if you are undocumented or have parents undocumented, you will feel safe in this school, you will not be bullied, you will be protected. To me that signals that we are entering into an era that we have not seen in a generation. I agree with van. It is dangerous. I think donald trump has a tremendous opportunity, a challenge but a tremendous opportunity to address this but address it in a way that is very particular to all of the communities of color who really are reeling and are hurt about this. But lets you know, look. There are demonstrations on the streets, but this was a valid election. Absolutely. People ran. Donald trump won. Thats right. Weve had elections in the past. We havent necessarily seen demonstrations like this so there is some frustration im hearing from Trump Supporters who say, look, this was a legitimate election and why are people now protesting the streets . Ill tell you a couple of reasons why. First of all, legitimate election. Donald trump won the electoral vote but guess what, Hillary Clinton is 2 million votes ahead of him in the popular vote. You know what . So what . I understand that, but that actually adds to the rawness of this of what this election result is. But theres always half the country that feels raw after an election. We dont necessarily see that half demonstrating in the streets. One last point though. I completely agree, and to a certain extent, you know, all of the Hillary Clinton supporters are going to have to understand that that is the path and that they at some point have got to give donald trump a chance. Follow her lead. Follow president obamas lead. Im sorry. Also, he said he wants to be the president for everybody, and if he really wants to do that, then he has to understand that the responsibility on his shoulders is that he also has to be the president for all of those communities who he has offended. I dont think he needs to worry about these protesters at this point. Frankly when they are going outside trump power and saying impeach donald trump when he is not even sworn in and when they are blocking highway 101 in los angeles and writing all kinds of foul language things on police cars and also vandalizing other property, i think that they just dont understand the way a republican democracy works. It was a legitimate election. There were no irregularities. His tone at 4 00 a. M. Wednesday morning was magnificent. I was in the room and i can tell you it was an inspirational american moment. Hillary clinton was very good yesterday. Barack obama, absolutely today. And what youve seen is Great American leadership. I think that sends a signal that will be heard throughout the land and it will overcome the voices of protesters. I think in the days ahead as he picks his cabinet, as he picks more and more of his leadership, theyre going to be the type of people that mike pence is, Kellyanne Conway, people who are quality who know how politics works, knows human relationships. I think these people are going to calm down and get on board. These people in the sense of protesters. Van, do you believe that . As people start to see, okay, some of these names in the cabinet are names weve heard before, theyve been in government before, this isnt a complete revolution, will things calm down . Those people in the streets arent Hillary Clinton supporters necessarily. Its very important we understand the dynamics there. Those people are the people that didnt feel democrats or Hillary Clinton or anybody was speaking for them and so youve got a challenge there. Youve got the young rebels out there and ive got to listen to them and hear. I think thats an important thing. With respect to listen, donald trump is doing well right now. Thats important for people to get. There is a trust deficit. That is true. Part of the the reason the trust deficit comes, there were moments in the campaign he did well and then he would change and then he would do well again and so people dont know yet, are we on solid ground. Right. So i think its important for supporters to understand there is a trust deficit. Hes doing well right now. These young people, Hillary Clinton go out there right now, Hillary Clinton tell them to sit down, theyd walk right past. Thats all the more encouraging. When they find out donald trump ran against the establishment. He ran against bringing ethics back i think they know that. A lot of these people are millennials. Im here to tell you as a millennial myself, they care about jobs, student loan debt. They dont have that right now. When donald trump brings jobs back, theyre going to be very happy. We have to take a quick break. Also tonight after everything donald trump has said about women, which were much discussed obviously with the election. Wpt with the prospect of having the first women president in history, why didnt more women vote for Hillary Clinton . Certainly a question a lot of democrats and Democratic Women are asking. Its a question about as complex a nuance as they get. Well look at that ahead as well. Afoot and lighthearted i take to the open road.

You are locking at scenes from philadelphia, the main question is what he will do. Heres what he said after a meeting on capitol hill today. People will be very, very happy. We have a lot. Well look very strongly at immigration, the border. Well look very strongly at health care and were looking at jobs. Big league jobs. Donald trump just tweeted about his meeting today saying a fantastic day in d. C. Met with president obama for the first time. Really good meeting. Great chemistry. Melania liked mrs. O a lot. There you go. Thats good. Is that the First Official tweet as president elect . No. He tweeted something something election night. Okay. This is sort of an alternate universe. Prehoneymoon. And these people are they dont like each other. They havent met each other, which was really stunning because theyve never met before, but its kind of hard to believe that donald trump comes in and says he has Great Respect for obama, the man whose citizenship he challenged for five years before. And the president , i mean, showed him the same respect that he had been shown by bush, and i know that that affected him a great deal. Yes. When bush was so gracious and generous, and now theyve become really good friends. I think mrs. Obama wanted to take around Melania Trump because she had Young Children in the white house and Melania Trump has a young son and she wanted to tell her what its like to live in this bubble and how it is to raise your child that way, but nothing has happened. You know, they were all Pitch Perfect because they had to be for the international community, keep the markets calm and out of respect for the office and the country they love. Right. And but let me just say that nothing has happened yet. Right. Hes not in office. Theres no legislation. I dont want to be the skunk at the garden party. Trump said the sound you played from trump was very important. He was asked what are your top three priorities. It didnt sound like he was ready for the answer. Then he thought about it, health care, immigration, talked about the border, and then jobs, big league jobs. What the Republican Leadership is telling him is do the big league jobs first. Were sequencing matters here. If they repeal health care right away. Theyre going to pick a fight with democrats. If thats what donald trump wants, he should do that. Do health care and pick that fight. Do the immigration bill, pick that fight. If thats how he wants to start his presidency. But if he does a tax package, hell have the republican votes. Democrats wont like it. A president generally gets his tax package. If you add into that the Infrastructure Projects that donald trump talked about in the campaign, democrats will have that. Hell have some trouble on the republicans. Theyll say, how are you going to pay for this. Republican governors will love that because youre creating jobs in the country. Theres an opportunity early on to do a big republican priority tax reform that includes some democratic proposals. What about on trade issues, too . Theres a lot of liberals in the democratic party, bernie sanders. That will take a little bit of time. Quickly on the point where he said that hes going to consult president obama in the future. I dont think thats going to happen often but there are times sometimes we never find out about these things. Questions of war and peace. Thats right. Donald trump will be the 45th president in the hist
