You know whats a great way to celebrate being elected president of the United States . Road trip. This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. Donald trump kicks off what he is calling his thank you tour in cincinnati. We spend too much time focusing on what divides us. Now is the time to embrace the one thing that truly unites us. You know what that is . America. America. Its america. Meanwhile, questions swirling about the incoming first family particularly ivanka trump. Is she a good role model for girls and young women . Well discuss all of that this even. I want to bring in jim acosta in cincinnati. Jim . Reporter don, true to form, donald trump did not pull any pumpls at this rally in cincinnati. The equivalent of an election touch down darngs trump railed against the news media and vowed to repeal and replace obama and care and build a wall on the border. The big news came when he announced his pick for defense secretary, james mattis. Heres how trump put it to the crowd here in cincinnati. We have a great, great cabinet. Ill tell you. Its coming and wait till you see what we have next week. Are we doing a good job with our cabinet and our people . And i dont want to tell you, i dont want to tell you this because i want to save the suspense for next week. So i will not tell you. I refuse to tell you. Dont let it outside of this room. Do you promise . Raise your hand . Promise. So i will not tell you that one of our great, great generals, dont let it outside, right . And, of course, the president is very honest. So ill never let this go. We are going to appoint mad dog mattis as our secretary of defense. They say hes the closest thing to general George Patton that we have, and its about time. Its about time. Trump made that announcement despite the fact that earlier in the evening his own spokesman jason miller took to twitter to deny any decision had been made on secretary of defense. Trump has more stops on his socalled thank you tour planned for next week. Don . Jim, thank you. Here to discuss all of this, executive editor mark preston, cnn political analyst kir ten powers and david swir lick. Kind of like an oops for that announcement. But first before we get to that, mark, we have never seen a president elect hold a thank you rally before. Whats your reaction to the speech . I dont think it was necessarily a thank you rally and it was a guess what, i won rally. He did say thank you america. He went out and definitely rubbed the nose in the dirt a little bit. But he did win. You know, and this has been the way he has run his campaign and certainly has been running his transition. And thats fine. I think that its okay that he did it. Give him props for winning. I wouldnt suggest Going Forward that he would continue to carry this tone Going Forward. I think he did try tonight to be conciliatory but probably not the best strategic thing to do. Kiersten. Im in the same place. This was sort ive flashback to the election. Clearly there has been no pivot yet. Were sill seeing the same donald trump doing his entertainment and Getting Energy off the crowds and taking digs at the media which i said in the last hour i think we deserve. I dont know if you agree with that, don. But i think the media did at a bare minimum, he had to listen to us say that he was not going to win and never break through the blue wall and things like that. He did ultimately win. If he wants to attack the media a little bit, we can handle it. What do you think, david . I think marks right that there was a slight aspect of you know how do you like me now i won type element to this. But on the other hand, i think theres a lesson to be learned. Maybe a little lesson to be learned from democrats and thats that you have to maintain eye contact with and keep the faith with the voters that brought you into office. I think dras lost a little sight of that over the last number of cycles. And that hurt them. I want to get all of your reactions to general james mattis, his choice for secretary of defense. Again, he surprised everyone at this rally making that announcement when one of his spokespeople said like two hours before, was it jason miller . Yeah, that no decision had been made. Clearly a decision had been made. Trump put his spokesman in a very bad spot. Trump should be lauded for this pick it, mattis a soldiers general known as mad dog clearly for his military acumen and his desire to win but also very learned, very smart. Somebody who talks about the need to read and understand history and is really a big proponent of it, spent the last three years out at stanford at the hoover institution. I think a smart pick. Now having said that, he feeds to get through a Senate Confirmation and get a waiver, but because he hasnt been out of the military for 70s years. Its interesting that everyone is going why this guy . I mean people are not saying that. The media is not saying that. People are not questioning why he pick this had person. Right. I think hes very respected. Thats true. Hes considered sort of a warrior scholar. But there is an issue of putting somebody whos in the military in charge of the defense department. You know, that you dont have any civilian leadership over the military. And so that should be i think maybe getting a little more attention and then you have general flynn run retired general flynn running the National Security apparatus in the white house. So that to me is a little concerning and we need to look at it a little more. What do you think, david. Hes a respected general. Hes had one or two minor controversies about some of the language hes used to describe warfare. But i think the issue with general mattis as with general flynn as with whoever becomes the secretary of state is ultimately less about the resume of these individuals and about whether or not down the road when some hard decisions have to be made whether or not theyre going to still be on the same page with President Trump when it comes to things like whether were going to stick with the iran deal or how were going to approach russia. Policy is going to wind up being an issue and how everyone reacs to world events in realtime as we get into the Trump Administration. You know, don, to that point, mattis is body who is not on the same page or in past his remarks have not been on the same page regarding russia as weve seen from trump himself. So it will be interesting to see what hes going to say. Mattis is not on the same page when it cops to the issue of torture. When he sat down with trump and trump said what do you think of waterboarding . He said give me a pack of beers and a pack of cigarettes and i can get a lot more done. Thats a guys kind of guy, like a military kind of guy. So you know, but heres to your point, there could be up to five flag officers in mike po popomp in the trump cabinet. Thats a lot of the military folks. Thats the thing we need to look at more and asking trump what is this attraction you have to all of these retired military people in your administration because its highly unusual. Also in particular with i think the department of defense which is supposed to be under civilian control. Madtis has to get a waiver in order to get this job because you have to be i think ten years out. Isnt it . Seven years. Seven years out from serving. So theres a reason that we do things this way. Whats your concern . The concern is that you have its too much of a military perspective and not people who are looking at it from a nonmilitary perspective. Clearly the president will be, but i think that you want to have people who have a different wave looking at things. Lets talk about unity because donald trump spoke about the importance of it. Ive spokenton democrats and i said to them, look, we cant go on with this gridlock. Its gone on for so many years. Its gone on for so many years. They cant get together. Were going to get together. And i believe they want to get together. You know why . Because its time and the people are angry. Theyre angry. And theyre going to get together. Were going to make joint decisions. We are and the nice part our victory was oh great, we have the house, we have the senate. And we have the presidency. David, this really was the first time that donald trump spoke as president elect. Not only to his supporters but also to more than the 2. 3 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 perfect you know 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 speaks to people in the country who worry about his presidency who didnt support him and want to know, if hes going to appoint people to the Supreme Court who might potentially vote to roll back samesex marriage, what would he do that . People of color, muslims, other folks want to understand why his campaign was run in the way it was run and he has an opportunity during the transition or shortly after hes elected to do that. If he doesnt do Something Like that, hes going to wind up in a situation where folks may have a closed mind to what hes proposing. Kirstin the knee jerk reaction to Trump Supporters is to say youre whining. Liberals are upset because of Hillary Clinton. Thats not exactly the full story though, is it . Considering what happened . Or is it . I this i theres a lot of us trying to understand the trump voter but theres not a lot of people on the trump side that seem to be understanding why other people might have different feelings and have legitimate grievances with him. So it would be nice if they would you know, i have to say, i dont think theyre the most gracious winners frankly. And that they could stand to maybe at some point maybe it doesnt have to be this minute but consider that there are legitimate grievances. These are not people who are whining. There are real problems about things that were said, there are real concerns about steve bannon that need to be addressed. And you know if he is interested in unifying then he needs to do that. If hes not interested in unifying and wants to shore up his base which he may decide thats what he wants to do and keep his people fired up. If he says he wants to unify, he has to take a different tack. I dont think its that hard. I really dont. At some point what david is saying, going out and giving a speech and talking about unifying and leaving out all these other extra things that kind of cloud account message he may have been trying to deliver tonight, if he tries to stay with his base, thats going to be a losing strategy. It will be a losing strategy. At pom point he has to sacrifice sacrifice come of his base is order to get things done in washington. Hes going to need democrats. He doesnt have al plipz republicans arent necessarily allies of donald trump in washington, d. C. But look, when he says he wants to get things done, i take him at his word. We all should take him at his word. The way our governments set up, some of the things he wants to get done democrats will try and stop and quite frankly will be successful in doing so. Heres what donald trump said earlier on fox tonight. Made some great selections and more than a few. Its been a well oiled machine. Were doing well. Were getting fantastic people. And actually getting very good reviews. People are respecting the process and what weve done. Since youve been elected, some people have had a hard time dealing with it and poor kids on College Campuses have their professors giving them cocoa and an roma therapy and coloring books and playdoh. Theyre apparently upset they couldnt deal with it. Anything youd like to say to them that it will be okay . I think theyre going to be very happy. I think were going to have a very safe country, prosperous country. Were going to do things that will create jobs for their parents in many cases where their parents can do a lot better. You most of their parents voted for me. Were going to have a very prosperous and safe country. So the question that was the wrong that is exactly what should not be done. But his response was actually very good. Hes response was very good. That is a leading question. It was a stupid thing to say. And yes, we did see some of that of awards which by the way was stupid afterwards following the election where some kids were saying i cant take my exams but thats whats wrong with the division in america right now. Where those are statements theyre not questions by journalists and quite frankly if were going to come together as a nation, everyone has to give a little bit. And thats to your point to what you said. Theres some very real feelings and as you said, youre going to win. You always say be a gracious winner. Right. Which like i said, i dont think were necessarily seeing a lot of that. I will give a little. His response was very gracious i do think. He could have really gone to town on it because what sean hannity was talking about was Political Correctness which is Donald Trumps favorite thing to talk about. He could have pied on there. David, do you want to weigh in on this . Look, theres a kernel of truth to the point hannity was making about democrats or nontrump voters needing to sort of get their heads around the idea that trump came out on top. To her earlier point, being dismissive the way hannity was being dismissive of folks that are genuinely concerned, genuinely have anxiety about the Trump Administration its not helpful. And you know, its not just to me bad loserism or bad winnerism. Theres something about it that is hypocritical. There was a ton of complaining on the part of conservatives and republicans in the early years or really throughout the obama administration. So you know, a little selfreflection is worth it on both sides. David, want to talk about what happened at Harvard University panel where top trump and Hillary Clinton advisors met and one heated exchange, Jennifer Palmieri accused trump of pedaling racism and providing a platform for White Supremacists by hiring steve ban non. Weve talked a lot about steve bannon. Im like look, it is very fair to say ta breitbart, his website tracks in antisemitic stereotypeses, about people of color, bannon has been ady visive figure. Whether bannon himself holds these views i think is still sort of up for debate. Im trying to research into it as much as i can. To Jennifer Palmieris point, look, they have a point that the Trump Campaign was veridy visive and i think some of the responses that were reported out by Kellyanne Conway for instance in that same forum that democrats didnt do a great job of messaging also is a point. You could go back and forth on this endlessly. Democrats feed a shakeup. Whatever theyre saying now they need to move forward and think about 2018, 2020. Time to move on. Yeah. Well, beyond. Do you think the Clinton Campaign is still in denial . Yes, definitely in denial. If you read about what happened there, theyre totally in denial. Because thats a piece of it what Jennifer Palmieri is talking about, but the much bigger problems as much as i think dras would like to make themselves feel better and say the only reason he won was because of racism, its just not true. A lot of these voters not a lot but a certain number of voters voted for hillary before. You have union people. So democrats have to look at this and say what happened, how did we used to dominate in these states . How did they used to be our voters and now have you bill clinton we need to go there and robbie mooks saying well never get those voters again. What happened . To be constantly yelling racism is not going to get to the bottom of the problem. Youre right on that but its not just democrats. Theres also some republicans, some people who were antitrump who feel the racism played a big role. Its not entirely it but it did play a role. It played a role. I dont think, heres the question. What if had been joe bide sfln could he have beaten donald trump. Theres something about Hillary Clintons candidacy and something about how they ran the campaign that plays into this. All right. Thank you. Another fascinating conversation. Thank you guys. When we come back, will ivanka trump have a role in her fathers white house and is she a role model for girls and young women .

Emily jane fox is a staff writer for vanity fair and annie carney. Good to have all of you on, three very smart individuals tonight. Annie, youve got a new article about the possibility that ivanka trump could be a climate czar in her fathers administration. Is she qualified to do that . This is an issue that im told by people close to her she wants to talk about. She sees i think shes trying to position herself as potentially a bridge to the liberals and progressives who are disgust and depressed by the election of donald trump. And she sees herself as sort of an avi tar who can be loyal to her father while also kind of giving these people something to hope for. So Climate Change is a new thing. Weve heard her talk about parental leave at the Republican National convention. This is another thing im told she really cares about, something her said is a hoax perpetuated by the chinese. Its odds for her to pick. The question is does she really want to influence policy on this issue or is this something shes choosing to keep herself sort of clean of the of her fathers most extreme positions. A similar question emily. You write a loot about ivanka trump. Is it surprising she would choose Climate Change since her father said Global Warming was a hoax . I spoke to a source close to her today and the source told me shes not choosing Climate Change. Shes been very clear and very single minded in terms of the policies she has supported. Shes going to keep focusing on issues related to women and working women and families. And that is her main priority. She stayed on message throughout the campaign on that one note. Thats not going to change now that her father has won the election. What im told is that shes going to listen and wants to learn about a variety of issues, Climate Change being one of them. But her main focus is going to remain on the parental leave situation. Rachel, youre skeptical about her role and moore. Explain. Yes. Is she going to be running her dads businesses and also having a role in his administration . And yes, im skeptical about all of this. Im skeptical about her being a bridge to liberals and a bridge to hope. Based on the fact that we have not seen any evidence of that. That was sort of a through line of sort of ivanka coverage in the campaign that she she had her fathers ear and making him more moderate. Did she we that play out in her father being more rod rat . We havent seen that. It didnt actually happen. Yeah. So theres a lot of message tag comes at us about the trumps. I think its just best to watch and see what they do and at every stage of the game to point out when that is say counter to the constitution. So annie, if your article you describe ivanka going to a gathering of liberal elites in aspen you said two months before the election and you saud ivanka, 35, trumps abva tar among the moneyed left wing elite is poised to be the first first daughter in history to play a larger public role than the first lady and she is positioning herself as she did that weekend as a bridge to moderates and liberals disgusted and depressed with the tone and tenor of the new leader of the free world. Shes played a role in softening her fathers image whether its real or not to rachels point. But can she be a conduit to people who are skeptical of him at this point . Well, this is the thing. She cant to rachels point, if shes going to run the business, shes going to have a problem if she wants to influence policy. Thats a huge conflict of interest. She could step in a ceremonial way. Melania trump is clearly hasnt said a public word, sent a tweet, been out in public since the election. Shes not stepping up to play the ceremonial role that ivanka seems to want to do. Ivanka, i dont know if shes going to influence policy but people are writing these dear ivanka letters on social media and leaving them outside of a kushner owned building in manhattan. By her at least saying she will listen on these issues and cares about these issues, i think it makes people feel they have someone in the trump orbit who at least shes a former democrat. She sociizes with the hillary cn biggest doan percent. So maybe it is messaging as rachel said. I think shes right to be skeptical about all of this. But in a ceremonial role and the first lady is in some sense, invan ca is someone that is positioning herself to be seen as someone who can hear the other side. We seem to be in agreement. Are you . I think ivanka is going to take on a role that is much similar, is similar to what Hillary Clinton did when she was first lady in the white house. Its unusual for a first daughter to play that role. But Hillary Clinton tackled Child Health Care when she was first lady and it seems like ivanka trump as first daughter is going to try and tackle issues related to working women. Heres a question, emily. As i said, the children will be running the business. Shes one of the children. How is she going to separate business from policy . We, legally she has to. If shes going to play some sort of real role in the administration its been illegal for 50 years to do that as a child, period, someone related to the president , period. If shes going to run the business and be a child doing that, there are so many conflicts and so many things shes going to have to address. Shes going to have no choice but to address them. So far she has not separated fully. It should be noted she sort of siphoned off the social Media Presence that her business and brand had built up and she took it for plain old ivanka trump and she has still been retweeting whatever her business is doing and so this is still very blurry. My question is, do you think though that is it a double standard . What if we were talking about Chelsea Clinton now . There would be like a five alarm headline on drudge and you know everybody would be freaking out. Theres the biggest double standard ever in talking about the clintons. They election is pretty much proof of that. So yes, there is a double standard at play. And i think it should be called out. Annie, did you Say Something . Yeah, i just came from the trump rally here . Nate and talking to a lot of trump voters who want him to drain the swamp about what they think of these Goldman Sachs appointees. They say hes learning. Give him time like they i just get the sense that Trump Supporters give him a lot longer leash than other politicians which is probably why hes here today. I think thats right. These ivanka, see sat in on the meeting with the japanese Prime Minister while shes still running are the business. She tweeted a link to her ivanka trump gold bangle she wore on 60 minutes. People are willing to say its all new to them. Theyre figuring it out. People are giving them a longer leash than they give to Chelsea Clinton. Im so sorry. I cant help it. Its a physical reaction at this point of incredit yult. This is the presidency. Absolutely you prepare for this. Full stop. I think in fairness. Hold your thoughts. Ill give you the first one on the other side of the break. When we come right back, ivanka trump and Kellyanne Conway are the top women on trump team . Are they role models for girls and young women . Well discuss. Lord, show me the way to cut through all this worn out leather ive got a hundred million reasons to walk away but baby, i just need one good one to stay i found a better deal on prescriptions. We found lower copays. And a free wellness visit. New plan. Same doctor. Im happy. Its medicare open enrollment. Have you compared plans yet . Its easy at medicare. Gov. Or you can call 1800medicare. Medicare open enrollment. Youll never know unless you go. I did it. You can too. Kellyanne as president , my father will change the labor laws that were put in place at a time when women were not a significant portion of the workforce and will focus on making quality child care affordable and accessible for all. As a mother myself of three young children, i know how hard it is to work while raising a family and i also know that im far more fortunate than most. American families need relief. Policies that allow women with children to thrive should not be novelties, they should be the norm. Politicians talk about Wage Equality but my father has made it a practice at his company throughout his entire career. He will fight for equal pay for equal work and i will fight for this, too, right alongside of him. Emily, role model for women . I think it depends on which women you ask. I think look, its hard for a lot of people to square ivanka, the advocate for women who work. Thats a noble thing im glad shes doing that. There are a lot of women glad shes speaking about issues that dont get talked about in washington. Its hard to say im an advocate for these women but when given the chance i dont actually advocate for them. Heres hoping she does advocate in the administration. Annie . I think you know on the one hand hes a working mom, probably the only woman in a room full of men. The women who Work Initiative she has in a lot of ways its a dressed up marketing opportunity on her website, she features testimonials from women like an ap history teacher from alabama and on the right it says shop the teachers looks. Its all ivanka trump branded clothing. Ivanka trump has been trying to become an International Brand for her entire career. Stuck respect that. But its also been about making money for herself. Thats a feminist stance in some ways and something that you know be a powerfl business women. But its been about enriching the family. But rachel, thats sort of what her father, thats what she learned, correct, from. I dont know what she learned from her father. But i just think its important to get back to the definition of feminism which is political, social and economic equality for women. And she actively fought against and defeated the person who would have been an advocate for that for women in the white house. Instead, we have her father who has not shown that he will be that. Lets just leave it at that. We have not necessarily seen from ivanka except for this child care issue. Again, so if shes going to push hard for that, great. As to her role model status, yes, sure, of course. Shes a successful businesswoman and built a successful company. It depends what you look up to i was not impressed by the way she besmirched Hillary Clinton during the campaign and claimed Hillary Clinton had not done anything on this issue. That was a falsehood and that was not something that i appreciated nordy appreciate your silence about her the claims of Sexual Assault against her father. Thats complicated. Lets continue the conversation. I want to bring in the other prominent woman in the campaign. Thats Kellyanne Conway, the Campaign Manager and now a Senior Advisor to the president elect for children. Would you call her a feminist icon . I dont know if i would call her a feminist icon. A lot of people give her credit for the w in trumps column. I think she really righted a ship that was going in all sorts of crazy directions. And i think she was incredibly talented in what she did. Let me stop you. A lot of people say if you look at why donald trump won, it was actually on, it was already on course with corey lewandowski. All you needed to do was keep the train on the track and sort of tone him down a little bit. So you know with, that said, go on. She was an incredible spokeswoman. Ive never seen someone not answer so many questions in interviews. Even saturday night live did a sketch where she was always available and always dodging questions and she was just an incredibly talented spokeswoman. I think she really helped message the campaign when it needed messaging most. Do you think if she were a democrat because many people say if she were a draw the, she would be lauded as a feminist icon. She wouldnt be promoting donald trump. Its like sayinging if Strom Thurmond had been for civil rights, he would be a civil rights activist. Theyre very impressive women. Very impressive women. Absolutely that should be acknowledged but being an impressive woman does make you a feminist icon. Feminism makes you a 0 icon. Equality for women, economic and social, including reproductive rights. It cannot be suppressed enough. I think its not a democrat or a republican issue here. I think the issue is donald trump so you can be supporting certain issues or you can be really good at your job and those are things to look up to. But when it comes to using those talents and using that status to support someone who is caught on tape saying i use my fame to grope women and kiss them when i want to, its really hard to then say this is about democrat or republican or feminist or not. Its hard to square that supporting someone like donald trump. So what do you do then, annie with someone to what emily said, is responsible for somewhat responsible for the w can take credit for the w in the column for donald trump . Someone like Kellyanne Conway . Where do you put her on as a feminist icon possibly or as a role model for women . Look, she made history as the first woman to run a to manage a major partys president ial campaign and she delivered a win. So that is just those are just facts. I think it is harder with republican women in po ticks because she elected a president who wants to appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn roe v. Wade. She advocated for policies that probably would not benefit a lot of women, middle class women in this country. See glossed over more than a dozen incidents of women accusing donald trump of Sexual Assault. So i think it is more complicated for republican women when you compare their clear success professional success. Shes the top of her game and really competitive profession. Versus the issues that theyre talking about. So thats why i think its difficult when you compare if she was on the democratic side when the issues are more about championing womens rights. Womens issues. Thank you. Appreciate it. Donald trump speaks to a cheering crowd in ohio tonight. Is he beginning us a glimpse of what the next four years will be like . P is for privileges. O is for ordinarily i wouldnt. L is for layers of luxury. A is for alll the way back. R is for read my mind. And i. Cant see a thing. S. See you in the morning. Polaris, from united.

Yeah, theyre billionaires but theyre smart with their money. Were going to be smart with americas money. It only makes sense to me. Reporter while trump appears to be considering naming mitt romney secretary of state, these supports are a lot less forgiving. Reporter should donald trump pick mitt romney as secretary of state . I dont know. The things he said about him, i dont know. He has to be forgiven to be able to pick him. I dont think so. Reporter who would you like then . Giuliani. I like him. Thats a big no on mitt romney. I supported mitt four years ago you know, and but the way he was bad mouthing trump, no, no way. Reporter trumps supporters like what they see see in the president elect especially his get it done attitude but they havent forgotten that more than half of those who voted did not choose their candidate. Everybody has a choice. We were all given that. And some people make bad choices and some people make good choices and i think i made an excellent choice and im proud of it. Theyre going to be impressed. Theyre going to be trump supports are because hes going to prove that hes going to get the economy going again. Is he going to build the wall. Its going to happen. If. Reporter everyone here believes trump will deliver on his props especially the one he made to help people like them. What will he do for someone like you .

Thank you very much for that. Lets discuss andre bauer, a former Lieutenant Governor of south carolina, Bakari Sellers joins us, as well. Whats your reaction . I want to get your reaction. Did you get to watch the trump rally tonight . Whats your reaction . First to you andre. I did. I thought it was very uplifting. The guy had a positive message. He talked about where he wants to go with the country. He addressed so many issues whether you talk about energy, policy it, inner cities. The guys he is in his element. This is a business guy. When he gets results, he gets more energy. Just like i am. I know exactly what he feels like. He had a huge victory today. Well, in the last few days with carrier. Hes charged up and ready to go. Hes excited about doing the job. The guy, would tirelessly, barely ever sleeps. Hes surrounding himself with very knowledgeable people that are ready to take on these tough tacks that weve had mounting for some time. Im excited because is he. Thats a good sign of a leader. I thought you were going to run out of adjectives there, andre. Bakari, what did you think . I think weve seen this show for the last 18 months and donald trump, he feeds off the energy of the crowd. He does very well when hes in a rally setting. Hes very loose with facts and the truth. Its affect free environment. Thats what you expect. We saw a lot of the same. He was definitely high energy, he was upbeat. Thats how most people are when they come off a victory. This wasnt so much a thank you tour as it was i told you so tour. With his rhetoric, with his tone, his tenor, with his positions, hes going to have a long way to go to bring this country together. I think that donald trump does know and does keep count confident fact that Hillary Clinton got 2. 5 million more votes than he did. He keeps count of the fact that 73 Million People if you include all of those who vote ford Hillary Clinton and someone else didnt vote for him. And so he goes in not the strongest candidate with the mandate by any stretch but someone who the onus is on to bring this country together and thats just a very difficult task for donald trump. Well see if hes able to pull it off. A question for you guys just an observation i just made. I want to play this. This is what he said about bigotry. Ill get your response. We condemn bigotry and prejudice in all of its forms. We denounce all of the hatred and we forcefully reject the language of exclusion and separation. Were going to come together. We have no choice. We have to. Its better. Its better. So my observation was your responses couldnt have been more different, right . And im wondering if its if youre a republican you see it one way, and if youre a liberal or a democrat, you see it the other way. Because you guys were exactly the opposite. Then well talk about the his bigotry comment. Was it enough. First to you, andre. What do you think . Number one, excitement is contagious. He was uplifting. He said were going to set our sighs higher than weve set them before. He talked about both parties working together making joint decisions. Thats pretty big of him after coming off a win saying were going to Work Together. Hes saying no, were going to Work Together and embrace optimism. Were going to dream big. I dont know how much more positive he could have been than that. Do you think your response he sees positivivity. It was great. Thats why i said he thought it was exciting. He was going to run out of adjectives. I would say this, don, those thousand people that kept their jobs and families theyre probably more excited than he is. So bakari, do you think part of it is just basically you have a democrat and dont see it that way . I mean i think that you cant discount that there is some bias. Everyone has a bias. I wanted Hillary Clinton to be president of the United States. The fact is shes not. And january 20th, donald trump will be my president , as well. Thats a fact. But then there a larger set of circumstances. Thats the fact that im terrified. I think Many Americans are terrified. Andre and i are close friends. We share dinner together when we travel together on the road. We come from different Life Experiences which makes our relationship even that much stronger. I will say that my Life Experiences like many people in this country who find themself to be vulnerable or have a history of fighting find themselves very concerned about a trump presidency. What he said tonight about bigotry and coming to the, did that help you at all . Yeah, it does. Ive been asking donald trump to say this into a camera for 1 months. Im pleased that he did, but to andre bauer to, oprah winfrey, to shaq and everyone else who has the audacity say give him a chance and he has words about bigotry, it has to match your actionses. When you have someone like senator session whos literally thinks that the Voting Rights act is an intrucive piece of legislation, an something that people fought and died for, thats hard to reconcile those two ideologies. He has to begin to show some action. Youll get to talk on the other side, andre. Well be right back. I didnt think there was anything else to talk about. But then i realized there was. So, i finally broke the silence with my doctor about what i was experiencing. He said humira is for people like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohns disease. In clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. If youre still just managing your symptoms, talk with your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. All right. Were back now. Andre, so was that enough . I know that during the campaign, you said you didnt like all of the things that donald trump said but you thought he was the best person who suited your policies. Was that enough tonight what he said about bigotry and coming together . I dont know that its enough. I think bakari was totally eloquent in what he said that he comes from a different background. Our Life Experience is so vastly different even only 50 miles part from where we grew up. I think donald trump is doing a gallant effort at reaching out and saying look, i didnt just talk about this stuff in the campaigns. Im going to show you im going to do something. Hes a business guy. Hes going to talk about it like a guy whose problems are in the roo boardroom. He gets lieutenants that can help him go out and get these things accomplished. I think hes doing exactly what he needs to do. Hes assembling a good crowd of lieutenants that can make things happen. He has a clear directive where he wants to take this country. You see a guy charged up ready to go and already producing results before hes sworn in. Still 50 days out and already got has businesses willing to now change their directive, keep jobs here. I think youll see more and more of that continue to happen. So i hope at some point in time, bar carry feels embraced by this guy. His hearts in the right place and this president is doing something to help every person from every community. Bakari, think he can do that . Im of the belief that america has already been great. I think barack obama was an amazing president. I think he inherits a great economy. He inherits a country thats moving forward and that has a stature around the world that had to be rebuilt. My goal and hope and prayer for donald trump is he makes this a more perfect union. Ill cheer him on if hes successful. Thanks for watching. Ill see you right back here tomorrow. I bow down to pray i try to make the worst seem better lord, show me the way to cut through all this worn out leather ive got a hundred million reasons to walk away but baby, i just need one good one to stay ways wins. Especially in my business. With slow internet from the phone company, you cant keep up. Youre stuck, watching spinning wheels and progress bars until someone else scoops your story. Switch to comcast business. With highspeed internet up to 10 gigabits per second. You wouldnt pick a slow race car. Then why settle for slow internet . Comcast business. Built for speed. Built for business. It is the top of the hour. Thanks for joining us. In a year of an unprecedented president ial campaign, another first. The president wrapped up a thank you tour at a rally . Cincinnati. Take a look at some of the key moments. Im going to discuss our action plan to make America Great again. Were going to discuss it. Although we did have a lot of fun fighting hillary, didnt we . Right . We have so many problems to fix in our country. But i know that if we set aside our differences and we do have
