Would provide President Trump with some guidance in an area that is not trumps strong suit, which is the nittygritty of foreign policy. President elect trump like to talk about his goals in wide generalizations of things he would like to achieve. He even said in the New York Times session that he would like to be the man that brought peace between the israelis and palestinians. That is a pretty lofty goal. There are a lot of diplomats have tried to make that happen, president s. It would be interesting to see what mitt romney would do. Host you go back to the past to the legal president s, often undercut by National Security advisers, Henry Kissinger. You have a National Security advisor that is somebody that mitt romney has not selected, somebody close to donald trump, Lieutenant General flynn. How would that affect mitt romney or anybody else in that position . Momentlets assume for a that romney were to get secretary of state, general pentagonds up as chief, flynn is the National Security advisor, nikki haley at the u. N. It is almost like you are setting up a team of rivals that will be fighting each other for the year of the president , and trump has said in his management style, he likes to listen to people and then decide. In many ways, it is almost in the mold of president bush who famously called himself the decider. Trump is also in that mode of making the decisions. Anyone,e decisive as for anyone that saw his Reality Television shows. I dont think this administration will run like a well oiled machine. You have people with different views and institute seas, and it will be a challenge to see how donald trump handles that. Maybe he will be able to synthesize all of these views and fuse it into a coherent policy, or it could be very much challenge. Host patricia from brooklyn, new york. Caller we do the National Security. We have been threatened already with the macys day parade here. Defense,ore money in open up the armories, have the National Guard come through, and open the bridges back up. Full security all around the United States of america. Guest one of the interesting things trump said in his video presentation, in talking about doing things differently, interacting differently with the press, instead of coming out and having a press conference or even having a statement about what he would do in his first 100 days, the president elect outline his views in a short youtube video, two and a half minutes. One of the things he said, one line on National Security, he said he would ask the chairman of the joint chiefs and the department of defense to come up with a plan to protect americas vital infrastructure from cyber and other attacks. It shows his focus on securing the homeland. When you talk about vital infrastructure like that, you are talking about protecting public events, the electric grid, the banking system, things that could be attacked by cyber criminals. Not at the pentagon, by the way, is not already planning on how to protect the country there is a whole cyber command, Northern Command detecting the homeland, of course, department of homeland security, but it does not mean that these plans cannot be adapted and improved. That is one thing donald trump said that he would like to see done. Host a tweet from james saying i think you have already seen for instance, this morning, Mike Huckabee was railing about the idea that donald trump would consider mitt romney as secretary of state, particularly, because of the attacks that romney launched on trump during the campaign. He said the only way that romney should be considered is if you apologize is for all the things he said. But one thing that donald trump is showing in these early days of the transition is that he is willing to make a pivot and make a change, do things that are going to surprise people. Yes, some of the people are going to be heartened that he did not do all the things that he said he would do, and some will be disappointed and upset that he did not do all the things he said he would do. Trump seems to think that it will not be a big deal that he is doing things that he is not fulfilling some of the, says such as not pursuing the prosecution of Hillary Clinton or doing the other things he said. It will be an interesting political dynamic. Trump has been able to do things his way and it has worked for him, so i dont see him changing. Host confirmation from nikki haley that she has been tapped to serve as the ambassador to the united nations. A short while ago issuing a statement to her fellow south carolinians saying pointing out that she will remain governor until confirmed by the senate. Guest there is an important point. When youre president calls and nan you to do something, says the nation need you to do it, that is something very hard to turn down. When i say youre president donald trump, where the you voted for him or not, will be the president. However people felt about him during the campaign, whether mitt romney believed all of those awful things he said about trump, you can certainly understand how he would have to take seriously the idea that if he comes into the administration, he would have to help not just the president but the country in an important way. That may require setting aside a lot of personal feelings and animosity. It is a very powerful thing. Imagine if the president called you and ask you to perform a mission for the country. Very hard thing to say no to. Host winchester, california. Good morning. Caller good morning. My question is how come there are so many loopholes in the system with immigration rules . If somebody is caught, yes, we are supposed to ship them back, but they get in jail, they get a lawyer, it takes a month, and sometimes they dont go back because there are so many loopholes. Host another issue that came up during the New York Times meeting yesterday. Interesting, donald trump had one position during the campaign, that Illegal Immigrants in the United States need to be rounded up and deported. But as soon as he was elected and was asked about it, he had a different position, which was that immediately the focus should be on securing the border, b, deporting people with criminal records, which was a smaller subset of Illegal Immigrants. And that is something the Obama Administration has been focusing on, too. Deporting people with criminal records. So it is not all that different from the obama policy. Then he says we will get to the rest of the people whom he refers to as wonderful people. It leads one to believe that maybe with republicans in control of the house and senate you could have some sort of bipartisan Immigration Reform that would do some of the things that previous immigration bills that made it through the senate but not the house would have done, which is secure the border , perhaps in building the wall that donald trump talked about, perhaps fences instead of walls, or maybe even electronic barriers that would serve the same purpose. And then creating a much more fair system for people to come if not get a path to citizenship, at least work legally in the u. S. Without fearing deportation, especially children who were brought here as Young Children and know no other country than the United States. A lot of things said in the campaign will turn into more conventional compromise policies that both sides could get behind. A second tweet from james, because it is a good point guest it is hard to say. Has a bitter feud with the New York Times. He almost invariably calls it the failing New York Times, and that he meet with their people, and by all accounts, the meeting was cordial. He called them a jewel. Trump has this ability to edit, change his positions, recognize his audience and play to that audience. It is an open question. Take mitt romney. Is he really considering mitt romney, or is he toying with him . If you are a cynic, you would think he is dangling out there as a bit of vengeance but will not go with romney, but we dont know. Actions speak louder than words. We are starting to see some of Donald Trumps actions. Host the full transcript of that interview available on nytimes. Com. A number of interesting editorials, including from tom friedman. This is what donald trump said martha in irvington, new jersey. Caller good morning. Have a blessed holiday to you and yours. Appreciate president obama, president clinton. I appreciate what they have done and i would like them to work together. Peaceful transfer of power is the hallmark of democracy. See really interesting to whether donald trump will actually continue this relationship with president obama once he is out of office, will he truly seek his counsel and advice . He said he was very impressed with obama. They had never met before they had met in the white house. Even though we may all recall the sort of tense moment at the white house Correspondents Dinner a few years back, trump was in the audience, the president was mocking him during the humorous remarks. The did you happen to see donald trump in the Oval Office Video that came out . Your thoughts about what was going through his mind . Guest i thought it was an amazing moment in history, the way the donald trump that we saw in the Briefing Room and the way that he indirectly with president obama, where he seemed to have some genuine affection. Mentioned,at trump they were supposed to have a 15 minute meeting and it went on for over an hour. The president seemed, once again, as in the case of general mattis speaking to him about torture and waterboarding, talking about the Affordable Care act. Trump seemed to take that to heart. He has beene much more conciliatory since the election. Of course, we have heard his comments about not pursuing Hillary Clinton, the use of her private email server, wanting to get beyond that and saying nice things about mrs. Clinton, how she has been through a lot, does not want to hurt the clintons. It is almost like a completely different donald trump. Host this is the video we were talking about. All of these moments are on our website, cspan. Org. Just two days after this historic meeting lasting about an hour and a half. There you see the president and the president elect. Get the last word from calhoun, georgia. Caller good morning, gentlemen. With thely concerned media and the affect that that could have on our National Security. We have heard so many warnings lately about the altar right alrright, and quite frankly, i was skeptical of them, like the tea party. , corporate money, all of those racists that did not like president obama, and i knew that this was untrue. They would have a prayer at the end of Tea Party Meetings and president obama would be included. Protect him, give him wisdom. Guys are selling illegal copies of the constitution just so that they can have gas money. So i knew this was false. When everyone was morning about , the media road that horse all the way, promoting that. They kept on talking about these people on the altright, white supremacists. So i was just very skeptical of the whole thing. And then i turned on cspan, headline news. Host showed a brief clip meeting, altright just a few seconds. I dont know what the speech consisted of, but the end of it, this guy says hale donald trump, hail victory. And the people in the audience, not all of them, but a bunch of them started saying hail victory, and the stiff arm salute. That just rocked my world. ,s far as im concerned socialism, neonazis, it is all too sides of the same so p coyne. Host i will stop you there and get a reaction. Guest one of the things that is really important in these days of fake news and so many questions about what you can believe and what you cannot believe, its important for consumers of news to consider the source. Cspan is a great source of that because you are able to look and see the whole thing in real time, in context. Context is the holy grail of journalism. If we are doing our job well, we are providing the facts and context to help you understand. Cspan does great job of that. If you really want to understand james mattis, go on to cspan. Org and look at his speech that he gave to the center for International Strategic studies in april. I looked at it the other day. , if you get a feel watch that hour, for what kind of general james mattis is, the way he is pragmatic, how selfeffacing he is, but at the same time, the strong leadership rejects. I would just caution people to consider the source. I think cspan is an excellent source of information because it is unfiltered and you get to decide. Host and one more time, how did that voice over go . Privatelypan is funded to support american cable companies. Coming up next washington journal. Jamie mcintyre, now with the washington examiner, thank you for coming back. Cspans washington journal, live every day, with the and policy issues that impact you.

Coming up on cspan, an investigative journalist and her reporting on segregation in u. S. Schools. Then they look at National Adoption policy and a look at the foster care system and ways to find permanent homes for foster children. At 8 00 eastern, former secretary of state Henry Kissinger sat down with a interview with john major for the Bbc Parliament challenge Bbc Parliament channel. Heres a preview. The world in which i was influenced in policy was more that, if in the sense something withdrawal, it would be really catastrophic. The world now is more complex. Therefore, in the long term, more dangerous. There are means of the disposal of more people that do not have thatame sense of limits existed then. And it could lead to publications. Journalistative Nikole Hannahjones, who writes about racial segregation in the united state schools, she talks about her reporting on the issue and why School Segregation persists today.
