To find out whether we make good choices. So i will be a witness to this. I think irs old and will find out exactly what turn of events will happen during the course of my life. Host on those choices, what kind of decision could see president elect to make that would satisfy you . Will try to do away with Social Security and planned parenthood. And it up with two adopted children and it was a blessing in disguise. Because i didnt want to have children. Wife was having problems having children. Meplanned parenthood helped to be an adoptive parent and i think that is a good thing.

After the results were announced, president obama and Vice President came out to speak to reporters and white house staff. Here is some of what he had to say. Secretnt obama it is no that we have significant differences. But remember, eight years ago, president bush and i had significant differences. President bushs team could not have been more professional or gracious in making sure that we had a smooth transition so that we could hit the ground running. And one thing you realize quickly in this job is that the presidency and the vice presidency is bigger than any of us. So i have instructed my team to follow in the example that president bushs team set eight years ago and work as hard as we can to make sure this is a Successful Transition for the president elect. Because we are now all rooting for his success in uniting and leading the country. Powereful transition of is one of the hallmarks of our democracy. And over the next few months, we are going to show that to the world. Chance last night to speak with secretary clinton and i just had a chance to hear her remarks. I could not be more proud of her. She has lived an extraordinary life of public service. A great first lady. An outstanding senator. And she could not have been a better secretary of state. Im proud of her. A lot of americans look up to her. And domination was historic and sent a message to our daughters across the country that they can achieve at the highest levels of politics. Will am confident that she continue to do great work for people here in the United States and around the world. Everyone is sad when their side loses an election. But the day after, we have to remember that we are actually on one team. This is an intramural scrimmage. Not democrats first. We are not republicans first. We are americans first. We are patriots first. We all want what is best for this country. Heard in Donald Trumps remarks last night. That is what i heard when i spoke to him. Directly. And i was heartened by that. That is what the country needs. A sense of unity. A sense of inclusion. A respect for our institutions. Our way of life. A rule of law. And respect for each other. Host president obama will meet with donald trump today at the white house. We are asking you hear the Top Priorities for donald trump. Writingciated press about potential administration changes or appointments in the Trump Administration. According to an organizational chart for the transition obtained, press National Security planning was being led by mike rogers, who previously worked for the fbi. Domestic issues are being handled by ken blackwell. Trump was expected to consider several loyal supporters for top jobs. Including Rudy Giuliani for attorney general. Cspan, on twitter at this says about Rudy Giuliani, he has attorney general, i wouldnt trust him as a mall crop. Another one says, having control with ultimate control of the Supreme Court is a mandate. Obama is showing trump where the buttons are this afternoon. Back to your calls on the administration Top Priorities. Solomon on the independent line. Caller my priority line is the Supreme Court. Acause he can appoint conservative judge. And also, my priority is education. Host all right. A republican color. Caller hi. My most important thing is Border Security first. And the crime in america. To give you an example. I transferred from florida to utah. Built, ie my house was had to stay in an apartment while my wife stayed in florida. Was i think they are coyotes . It, a bunch ofay people who were bringing in andls and they set them up then bring in a new bunch and. Et them up i called up ice because they made a lot of noise and stuff. And they told me they cant do anything for six months. And i couldnt understand that. If i could see this going on. , dont we have laws . The immigration that we have is to protect our country. What was the reason that ice gave you that they couldnt do anything . Caller they said they were too busy. When i called it sounded like they were eating a sandwich. It was a joke. And an officer came to my door. Must have seene the police car and they came down the stairways and walked right past them as i was telling the officer what was going on. Host so immigration is a top priority here. Tweet, offload the immigrants who are costing us millions in social services. Jim says trump should direct every federal agency to remove all questions regarding race. The headline in the New York Times two days after the election day, democrats, students and foreign allies face the reality of a trump presidency. The american political establishment real as leaders on both parties began coming to of a with four years presidency of donald trump. A once unimaginable scenario that has punched a deep uncertainty very about the office. Nty of his the New York Times, democrats will be out of power for the First Time Since 2006 were particularly crestfallen. It was a fate similar to our gore. Campuses nationwide, students marched against donald trump with signs like, not my president. Protesters set fire to garbage bins. Night, thousands of people protested in thousands of cities. New york, seattle and philadelphia. Protesters converged in front of trump tower. The headline of usa today, a photo of a protest. That protest is in new york city. E hear from helen in memphis her priorities. Go ahead. Morning. Ood i think the most important priority for the new president is to bring some unity to the nation. And what does a president makeow does a president to a country unified . What is the most outward sign of doing that in your view . Toler the first problem was go across the nation with a sense of anger and bringing out some really bad character. Try to traceave to back. Trace back the steps you made in crisscrossing the nation and bringing disunity. You have to be careful in the election of cabinet and the retracing and redoing what the Prior Administration has done. Just think carefully before you tear everything down. Think carefully before you appoint judges. Be careful before you appoint a staff. With theareful character and nation of the people that you appoint. And how you just demolish what has been done. That will help to make people feel like they are included. Just beingu are not pushed out to bring in a new reign of something else. Issue of unity, reports say that president obama has a final foreign trip coming up to places like peru later this month. And after that, the president will be making speeches around the country about national unity, we ask you this morning about President Trump. The firstiorities for 100 days. His Top Priorities. We welcome your calls and comments. 202 7488000, democrats. 202 7488001, wiccans. Others, 202 7488002 202 7488000, democrats. 202 7488001, republicans. , others. 8002 what theome of majority leader had to say. We look forward to working with him. I think most of the things that he is likely to advocate we will be enthusiastically for. Where we have differences of opinion, i expect to discuss them privately and not hash them out in public. But the goal will be to try to get on the same page. Turn the country in a different direction. We have had a tutorial in the last eight years of big government. Taxes, regulation, debt. We know it doesnt work. You do this stuff and you get slow growth. So in order to get the country going again, we need to undo much of that. And the good news is done by the president himself. So we are going to be enthusiastically supportive almost all the time. And where we have differences, we talk about them privately and try to work them out. Host host lets go to your calls. Hi. Er thank you for taking my call. I have a chuckle here watching Mitch Mcconnell. Because the last time they had both houses under president bush , we wound up in a war and almost the worst recession since the great one. And the national debt, obama has been trying to pare that down and reverse that for eight years. With johnl the tape mccain on the senate floor, cspan showed if years ago, him chastising his republican comp patriots for spending like drunken sailors, i never forgot that. Because of the earmarks they were putting on bills. That they areoke fiscally conservative and they are out for the people. What i saw in the streets last it shouldelevision, be a lesson to the young people who are disappointed because Bernie Sanders didnt champion them. They should have listened more carefully to what was being offered. Wanted,d for what they not to get out on the streets a day later and say trump is not my president. I think understanding that your vote counted and instead of writing in somebody or lamenting that your person didnt make it, the idea was to get out and vote and that is the saddest thing that they have to live with. But i hope it is a Lesson Learned in the future. Whouse this buffoon, doesnt have a care in the world about this country, who doesnt have a platform, who will make it up as he goes along, i can only pray he doesnt make the kind of mistakes that he has made on the campaign trail. That will affect us for generations to come. We heard comments from Mitch Mcconnell a few moments ago. And he famously vowed to make obama a one term president. In the Washington Times, a moment about how progressive groups view donald trump. Progressive troops now to obstruct the agenda. Bipartisan calls for healing and unity after a brutal president ial campaign, liberal activist groups vowed to fight from the getgo to stop Donald Trumps agenda. Andcracy for america dependable advocate for the Democratic Party called for a Progressive Political revolution andtymie mr. Trumps racist sexist agenda. Your thoughts on the priorities for the next administration . We hear from rosemary and napoleon, michigan. Thing the most important that should be his priority is faith in god. God back in the white house. So people will respect themselves. Our country and our lord. People can say all they want and call him a buffoon and all these ridiculous statements. When he won yesterday, it was gods hand who brought him into the white house. No matter what anybody says. And the most important thing is that people need to understand that they need to give this paper a chance. Give him the admiration that he deserves. Movesin terms of a policy beyond that, what do you see as your top priority for the new president . Caller a First Priority for me is a economy and getting jobs back for the 94 Million People who need them. Host that was rosemary. We go to North Carolina with joe on the democrats line. Caller good morning. Put down democrat because i was a young democrat in chicago with jesse jackson. But i have been voting republican since reagan. Theas far as im concerned, cartels make a joke of us. When i was working with the guard for three months. A 10,000 gallon water truck and to get across the border. And the Border Control couldnt do anything about it. Asit is the same thing between state borders. When criminal activity in one state, they cant do anything. We need to have an agreement with mexico to crush the cartels. And thats all i have to say about that. Host here is eric in california. Caller god bless america. Intonk trump should look contacting the clintons and trying to set up a pardon. I think it would go a long way in letting him establish his own agenda. This potentially bad thing and get it behind us. And that is what i think you should do. Host you are saying a pardon . For any possible crimes that might have been committed by Hillary Clinton. And People Associated with her. Just get rid of it. On those lines, do you think the fbi director, james comey, should stay or go . I think he should stay. I have his integrity. I think he was in a rough place and he did what he could. It was just a rough spot area i think the president s statements on him were valid. That he didnt think he was trying to impact the election. The because he testified in front of congress, he was under an obligation. We have to get this kind of us. This was raise yesterday at the white house briefing. The president has offered clemency to a substantial number were previously serving time in federal prisons. We didnt talk in advance about the plans to offer clemency to those individuals and that is because we dont talk about the president s thinking. Particular way respect to specific cases. Orm may apply to partisans commutations. What i would direct your attention to is that the president s observation that he made in the rose garden about president elect trump displayed in his remarks last night, that tone is consistent with a longstanding tradition of our democracy. And the president expressed hope that that kind of tone would continue. That is relevant. Because we have a long tradition ofs country of not people in power not using the criminal Justice System to exact political revenge. In fact, we go to Great Lengths to insulate our criminal Justice System from partisan politics. That commitment has served our country well for more than two centuries. And the president is hopeful it will continue. Host the first part of the program this morning is your Top Priorities for trump. We had your comments on twitter as well. This one says that trumps first act should be to reveal his t
