White houses counsel. Hes a Legal Adviser to donald trump. Hes the former chairman at fcc and the thing that you need to know is hes someone thats getting money out of politics and hes someone with limited national experience. One of the important things about serving in that role and you are called that thats going to be the real challenge for mr. Mcgahn going forward. Of course, there is been a lot of question of potential Conflict Of Interest for the President Elect trump because of his vast business entanglement. The white House Counsel is going to neat to spend a lot of time digesting the President Electneed to do when he gets into the white house, it is a rule thats going to be very important going for him. Donald trump is coming into the white house with unprecedented business ties. There is going to be questions about the Conflict Of Interest and don mcgahn will be the person will be giving donald trump of the advise of what he can and cannot do and how he should separate himself from the businesses and how much. Hes going to be responsible for a whole lot of legal advice. Donald trump watches a lot of fox news. Shes getting praised by connecticut senator and the independence who won democrats. Shes somebody thats going to be well received by portions of the republican party. Shes somebody that has quite a
history of republican politics. She was a member of the Nixon Ford Reagan adviser. A Speech Writer and to wine berger and defense. Shes been highly critical of president obama, basically saying that if he did acknowledge the severity of Radical Islam or the threat of it. Interestingly as well 2006, she ran the gop primary to run up against hillary clinton. She lost that pretty badly over allegations over inflating her resu resume. So these are people that are wellknown in republican circles and folks that are well not the most traditional picks that are not completely non traditional. Don mcgahn does have some experience but not a whole lot. This is a job thats
extraordinary important in the white house more so than other. Crucial in the point you bring up about his History Don Mcgahn with the Trump Organization and trumps family going back years. Thats the real question, how is he going to separate and not only the President Elect trump but also the white house counse counsels, those ties he may have had throughout the years as he may represent the white house. This is an enormous challenge that donald trump is going to have to face. Hes not shown a tremendous amount of willingness to go the extra mile to make sure the American People could believe his decisions he makes while in office as president and are in some way to further his Business Interest. He has a sprawling wed of Business Interest around the world. In those conversaons, reports of attempts to smooth out the project. Yes, the white House Counsel is
going to have an enormous task on his hands. In terms of Deputy National security adviser, we know that along of what katy said, shes been critical of clinton and criticized tenure of Secretary Of State as creating problems with the United States of china and russia and iran and shes been favorable with donald trump. Thats another trend we are seeing and a number of these people appointed so far has been favor of him in the start or in the case of nikki haley, someone who may supported one of his rivals. It is been newly of criticisms of him. If he does go a little beyond that, that circle of people that either are his loyalists or people who were not against him or picking someone like mitt romney, thats speculations thats out there. Kellyanne conway tweeted an
article of Current Trump supporter. And Newt Gingrich trying to steer away from mitt romney worrying that hes not going to be loyal. This is a test to see how far trump is going to go in choosing people who may have different opinions and challenge him and up at the table, saying you are wrong mr. President. What we are seeing and kt mcfarland and nikki haley and who hes parading out in bed now kt mcfarland is coming forward. Well look at the names that was brought up there. Looks like we may have lost the hill for a second there. We heard the beep. When we hear that, we know what it means. That yesterday he was bringing up before he got disconnected. And mitt romney and Kellyanne Conway coming out tweeting something seeing questionable of who he is. Kellyanne conway came out
with a couple of tweets linking to a political article that says loyalists were telling donald trump that mitt romney was no t t not a good pick. Mike huckabee says you want to choose somebody thatll take a bullet for you. She hes got a lot of evidence behind him to say that, mitt romney came after all went after donald trump and probably most critically of anybody out there and most vocally of anybody out there of a sustained campaign to keep donald trump from getting the gop nomination. He went after him for his wealth and that he was not wealthy and went after him for his character and calling him dishonest and saying hes very, very not smart. He also went after him for business and mocking trumps states and airlines and all
these businesses that went under. Mitt romney will have to explain himself. Why does he think donald trump is a good leader and why does he want to be apart of the administration or sell Donald Trumps foreign policies over seas and be trumps top diplat. Yeah, we remembered that where he came and said i am not for it at all. Thank you katy tur and we ran out and we owe you one there. Thank you both. Coming up. Using black friday as a way to let the world know about what some sees as excessive use of force by police. Plus, a celebrity sends out a warning of the proposed muslim ban which trump floated during the campaign. Fun times, retailer retailers retailers e retailers holiday sales expected for an increase.

To leave their homes and put them in Internment Camps across the country. Japanese americans became prisoners in their own country much because they looked like those who bombed pearl harbor and nothing more. Last week, trumps supporter repeated what trump mentioned during the election. He called it a precedent for the muslim ban. It shocked the agent american the community and george takei
who was an intern himself. They interned my family, dont let them do it. George takei is joining us live. Thank you for being here. You were shocked then about the election, how do you feel now . I am still shocked right now and particularly hear carl talking about using the Japanese Internment as a precedent. We told the stories of the internment on broadway, we want to raise awareness and particularly we want to raise awareness to as many people as possible. We feel a performance of allegiance and we arranged with over 600 theaters in the United States and canada because the same thing happens to japanese canadian. We are screening that film on
december 13th. At the same time extending an invitation to elected officials because they are the policyma r policymakers and they are the one that need to know. When donald trump made that statement, we extended an invitation which he did not take up. We extended invitations to everyone who was an elected official and so we have been invited to join us as our guest to see allegiance on december 13th. George, the allegiance play which i did see and it was an a amazing production. It is an american store, it is set in a difficult time that was difficult for japanese americans. Tell us about this new movie and how it is about who we are as a country. Well, right after pearl harbor, young japanese americans
like all Young Americans rushed the their Recruitment Center to volunteer and serve in the military and probably die for this country and yet, that active patriotism was a slap in the face. They would deny Military Service and categorized and imprison in this prison camp. A year in to internment, the government raeltzealized there wartime and the Amazing Things that thousands of Young Americans went behind those bash fences to fight for those countries and fought fearlessly for this country homewoeroicall. A record which still stands to this date. We tell that story in our alee ye jens, it is something that all
americans should know. We hope you catch it on december 13th, be aware of this dark history and never repeat it again with Muslim Americans. Because, it is certainly one of the stories you want to think about and one of the parallels. What was said that you look at our past and things like this have happened before and we can look at 1882 of the time of exclusion act. It was said in the only act that said to one group from one country it says that poor chinese are seen as endangered and the order of localities. How is these sorts of ideas affect generations of americans. Then if they dont know about it and americans dont know about that story, then it is used as precedent to do some Something Like that again. As you said, Muslim Americans have fought for this country and died for this country and all
you have to do is go to Arlington National cemetery and look at the head stones and there are the symbols of each of the people thats buried there. I have seen many, not many but a number of muslim krcrescents on that. We need to rethink our american history. We have a diverse history to which all of us have contributed and to use any kind of Racist Activity in our history as precedent for us to repeat again and use the word National Security for the denial of fundamentals Constitutional Rights of protection is unamerican.
