Hes named the top two positions on his team and his picks are ruffling feathers with insiders and outsiders alike. Plus, during his campaign, donald trump promised to repeal obamacare, but is he softening his stance . The president elect now says there are certain provisions he would consider keeping. And it all comes as nationwide demonstrations continue in the aftermath of last weeks election. Trumps former Campaign Manager is calling on president obama and Hillary Clinton to calm the streets. Good morning to you, it is monday, november 14th, im betty nguyen alongside ali velshi and louis burgdorf. Donald trump has selected the two men to lead his white house. Rnc chairman Reince Priebus will be the new chief of staff, while trump for president ceo steve bannon will serve as chief strategist. The statement announcing the hires said the two will be working as equal partners. Priebus currently serving his third term as head of the Republican Party is a washington insider and close ally of House Speaker paul ryan, while bannon has worked on the fringe of the conservative movement, leading breitbart news, which rejects multiculturalism in american life. The head of the Antidefamation League commended the appointment of priebus, but marks a sad day when a man who presided over the premier website of the althoughright is slated to be a senior staff member in the peoples house. Examples of the websites headlines under bannon including breitbarts call to hoist the Confederate Flag high and fly it with pride two weeks after the shooting at a church in south carolina. Racial slurs in the wake of last weeks election, president elect trump cast doubt on whether it was wide spread, but had a message for those who would harass their fellow americans. I am very surprised to hear that. I hate to hear that. I hate to hear that. You do hear it. I dont hear it. I saw one or two instances. On social media . I think its a very small amount. Do you want to say anything to those people . I would say dont do it, thats terrible, because im going to bring this country together. They are harassing latinos, muslims. I am so saddened to hear that, and i say stop it. If it helps. I will say this, and ill say it right to the camera, stop it. It was a brutal year and a half on the campaign trail for donald trump, and in his first televised interview since last weeks election, the president elect told 60 minutes he wishes it had just been a little bit different. It was a pretty nasty campaign. Do you regret any of the things you said about her . Well, it was a double side, they were tough and i was tough, and do i regret . I mean, im sitting here with you now, and were going to do a great job for the country. Were going to make America Great again. Thats what it began with that and thats where we are right now. So many things no regrets . I cant regret. No. I wish it were softer, i wish it were nicer. I wish more it was in policy or whatever you want to say, but i will say that it really it really is something that im very proud of. Well, as democrats seek a way forward, the president will phone members of the dnc this evening at 5 00 p. M. Hillary clinton will phone white House Democrats at the same time. The departure of Debbie Wasserman shultz under the cloud of an email hacking scandal has left a power vacuum at the top of the national party. Howard dean, the former party chair, tweeted his interest to take back his old job as party chief. Over the weekend, former president ial candidate, Maryland GovernorMartin Omalley said he had been approached by democrats in search of new leadership. In a tweet storm he posted, im taking a hard look at dnc chair because i know how badly we need to reform our nominating process, articulate a bold vision. But the nominating process is behind this man, keith ellison, who supported Bernie Sanders during the primaries. Presumptive Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer backs ellison and so does his predecessor, harry reid. Elizabeth warren said ellison would make a terrific chair and picked up the backing of Michael Moore over the weekend, as well. Plenty of soul searching to be done, particularly in places like luzerne county, pennsylvania. The county hadnt voted republican since george h. W. Bush in 1998, but this year it flipped to trump. Voted twice for barack obama to shake up d. C. And who voted for trump this year for much the same reason. Obama tried to do well and it didnt turn out how we thought. Mr. Trump should do better, she figures, by cracking down on undocumented immigration and holding up American Values like hard work. She considers both men to be agents of change. As for the crude remarks mr. Trump made, especially concerning women, she dismissed them as bragging and shock talk. Over the weekend, Bernie Sanders wrote millions of americans registered a protest vote and trump won the white house because his Campaign Rhetoric successfully tapped into a very real and justified anger, an anger many traditional democrats feel. I am saddened, but not surprised by the outcome. It is no shock to me that millions of people who voted for mr. Trump did so because they are sick and tired of the economic, political, and media status quo. Heres his wife on cnn friday. Do you think your husband would have had a better chance of beating donald trump than Hillary Clinton did . Absolutely. But it doesnt matter. The election is over. What he has to do now is use his influence and work with people across this country to affect the change that they would have voted for had he been on the ticket, and they did vote for in the primary. Despite all the irregularity. By the way, joe and mika will talk about all of this with howard dean coming up on morning joe. Betty . Protests against president elect donald trump continued across the country over the weekend as the man they say isnt our president look to address the anger over his election. Here in new york city, demonstrators, including many immigrants, took to the streets to rally against mr. Trumps campaigns support of deportations. Thousands of protesters marched up the busy fifth avenue one day after an estimated 25,000 marched to trump tower. It was a similar scene in los angeles on saturday where an estimated 8,000 people marched through the streets, and in portland, oregon, hundreds gathered last night. The latest demonstration was much more peaceful, despite the presence of heavily Armored Police officers. Meanwhile, Donald Trumps former Campaign ManagerKellyanne Conway says its up to obama and secretary clinton to put a stop to the demonstrations and trump himself addressed the rallies against him during his interview with 60 minutes. If the shoe was on the other foot and Hillary Clinton had won, which is all the media were expecting, if not hoping for, then we know if there were protesters, two donald trump protesters somewhere, people would be freaking out that his supporters were not accepting election results. Its time really for president obama and secretary clinton to say to these protesters, this man is our president. There are people, americans, who are scared and some of them are demonstrating right now, demonstrating against you, against your rhetoric. Thats only because they dont know me. I really believe me. They listened to you in the campaign. I just dont think they know me. What do you think they are demonstrating against . Well, i think in some cases you have professional protesters, and we had it if you look at wikileaks. You think those people down there are leslie professional . Some of them will be professional. They are in every city. When they demonstrate against you and there are signs out there, i mean, dont you say to yourself, i guess you dont, you know, do i have to worry about this . Do i have to go out and assuage them . Do i have to tell them not to be afraid . They are afraid. I would tell them, dont be afraid. After campaigning on a promise to repeal obamacare, president elect donald trump says there are certain parts of the Health Care Law he would consider keeping. Trump signalled a willingness to preserve two important provisions following a discussion with president obama at the white house last week. Obamacare is tough. Health care is a tough situation. I bet he asked you not to undo it. No, he didnt ask me he told me, you know, the merits and the difficulties, and we understand that. Are you going to make sure that people with preconditions are still covered . Yes, because it happens to be one of the strongest assets. Also with the children living with their parents for an extended period. Youre going to keep that . Very much try and keep that. Adds cost, but its very much something were going to try and keep. And theres going to be a period if you repeal it and before you replace it when millions of people could lose were going to do it simultaneously. It will be just fine. Were not going to have, like, a twoday period, were not going to have a twoyear period where theres nothing. It will be repealed and replaced and well know. It will be Great Health Care for much less money. So, it will be Better Health care, much better, for less money. Last wednesday, the day after election day, more than 100,000 people signed up for coverage under the Affordable Care act, according to the Obama Administration. Thats the highest number since open enrollment began on november 1st. Betty . A majority of americans accept president elect donald trump as the winner of the president ial election last week. According to a New Washington post abc news poll conducted right after election day, 74 of all americans say they accept trumps election as legitimate. However, 33 of clinton supporters do not view trumps election as legitimate. At the same time, a gallup poll found 84 of americans found trump as a legitimate president , but 15 do not. Broken down among clinton voters, 23 do not accept trump. Gallup noted when they asked the same question about george w. Bush in december after the 2011 election, 83 of americans accepted bush as the legitimate president. President elect donald trump says social media played a big role in his election victory, but in the 60 minutes interview weve been showing you this morning, he promised to be more restrained as president. Between, you know, facebook and twitter, and i guess instagram, i have 28 million people. 28 million people. So you are going to keep it up. Its a great form of communication. Now, do i say ill give it up entirely and throw out . Thats a tremendous form i pick up i think i picked up yesterday 100,000 people. Im not saying i love it, but it does get the word out. When you give me a bad story or when you give me an inaccurate story, or when somebody other than you and another network or whatever, because, of course, cbs would never do a thing like that, right . I have a method of fighting back. Thats very tough. But youre going to do that as president . Im going to do very restrained, if i use it at all. I find it tremendous. Its a modern form of communication. There should be nothing you should be ashamed of. I do believe this, i really believe that the fact that i have such power in terms of numbers with facebook, twitter, instagram, et cetera, i think it helped me win all of these races where they are spending much more money than i spent. I spent my money, a lot of my money, and i won. I think that social media has more power than the money they spent, and i think maybe to a certain extent i proved that.
