In response to reports that World Leaders were scrambling how to figure out how to contact list of 29 World Leaders that trump and pence have spoken to over the last week. Charlie . Chip, thanks. Kellyanne conway is a Senior Adviser to the Trump Transition Team and she was Campaign Manager for the president elect and we are pleased to have you here. Welcome. Thank you, charlie. Im reading the papers this morning. A personal question. I see the name of kushner and bannon and sessions and priebus and ryan and mcconnell and pence and the family. What is it that you might be doing in this new administration . I appreciate you asking me. I just want to go for my highest and best use to serve president elect trump and Vice President elect pence. Have you a special relationship. You came in at an important moment in the campaign. I have a special relationship with both of them and im thrilled they will be leading this country. Charlie, i am still sorting that out. I have four small children and im sure many of your viewers can relate to that and i need to balance the personal considerations for the professional ones. Ive been with president elect elected and i love the hype of activity that is trump terry and transition down in washington where i was also this week. Have you been asked to serve a role . I have. I was asked immediately what i would like to do. You were . Yes. Turn to the people who will be coming including heads of state. The japanese Prime Minister. As you well know, the candidate said, during the campaign, that he might want to reconsider and have japan consider how many he is willing to prepare and pay fo maybe they will discuss that today. I think its a much more informal meeting than all of that since we have a current president and commander in chief and president obama is still the president. We are sensitive to the fact that these early meetings with heads of state occur within that construct, that fact, charlie. But, at the same time, im very happy the Prime Minister is there to meet with president elect trump and Vice President elect pence today. But president obama is on his last foreign trip in that capacity, so i think any deeper relationship between japan and the United States will have to wait until after the inauguration. The front page of wall street journal is reporting that Jared Kushner will probably get a top post in the administration. I spoke to him last night. He has not applied to any job and has no security clearance but he is incredibly important to his fatherinlaw president elect trump and was a big, big part of our election victory, franklin. Jared has been intimately involved in the Campaign Strategy from day one and im sure that he and his wife and her brothers will continue to be very supportive, but time will tell in terms of the positions that different people traditionally, the president announces his National Security staff first. South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is heading to trump tower today. Her Lieutenant Governor told local reporters she is under consideration to be secretary of state. Is she on the short list . Well, we have long short i think some people are expected on this list and some people would surprise you to be unexpected. This is what president elect trump is doing every day. Meeting with advisers, having interviews with potential candidates for each of these positions. Its serious business. I took a look yesterday at the time lines from past administrations and we are basically right on target with respect to where other president ial administrations in formation have been including president obama. I very much appreciated what Vice President biden said yesty Vice President elect pence. We in our world did not have our administration formed in week one and they dont either. It would probably be irresponsible to go ahead and name all of the people right at once, but we are very happy that Governor Haley is coming to meet with president elect trump. Im sure they will have a wide ranging conversation and i think everybody should be very not surprised the number of people have come forward expressing interest in high level positions. Does it mean the president elect is seeking out because of some of the questions raised during the campaign . He wants to make sure women are in his administration . The major qualification is can you do the job . That is a major criterion. Are you qualified to do this job . And then i think, secondly, charlie, its do you support what president elect trump has put forward as his first 100day plan. Its specific and out there for all to see. And any of these individuals who would serve in his cabinet on a senior staff should be well aware this is a man who intends to get things done quickly. He is a he accountable for results and he delivers and he produces. The excuses of divided government that has existed for probably six years having two parties in power in washington, d. C. Is gone now. You have one party in power. I think its luplifted you can execute and deliver and produce and takes away the excuse i think many have been using in washington, d. C. To not get things done. Is Rudy Giuliani, he has been very vocal about his desire to be secretary of state. Hes a leading contender for any number of positions. He is incredibly loyal to donald trump. He was very important during the campaign. Are you concerned about his business connections that have been raised . No. No, im not. And i understand that people want to vet things publicly but, again, we have a process that should be respected and gayle, i just cant help but feel whether its the protesters or whether its some of the unfortunate and frankly inaccurate headlines about the wouldbe team and cabinet members floating through what is inaccurate about the steve bannon headline . I assume youre referring to that. Pretty much everything. The man is brilliant and he treats everyone kindly and the same. I think people are cherrypicking some headlines and maybe even some projects that he was not he was not involved with. He has the ear and the trust of the president elect and Rudy Giuliani would be if he was our secretary of state, he would command a certain presence worldwide but i think he is qualified for many different positions. Great to have you here. Hillary clinton spoke in washington last night one week after conceding the president ial election. She received a very warm reception from supporters of the childrens defense fund. Its a nonprofit Advocacy Group she worked as a young lawyer. She asked the country to believe in its heart and look forward. Nancy cordes, good morning. Reporter good morning. Clinton made a commitment before the election to deliver this speech and so she kept her these remarks, at times, were pretty personal after her former boss called her the peoples president. Clinton shed some light on what the last week has been like for her. Chont w clinton was greeted with a standing ovation and kiss on the cheek from the woman who hired clinton out of Yale Law School in the 1970s. I will admit, coming here tonight wasnt the easy thing for me. Past week when all i wanted to do is just to curl up with a good book or our dogs and never leave the house again. I know many of you are deeply disappointed about the results of the election. I am, too. More than i can ever express. Reporter she has been largely out of sight since her return to private life, except for this photo captured during a hike in the wood near her chappaqua new york home last week. I urge you, please, dont lose dont give up on the values we share. Reporter dckeemocrats are trying to figure out how to promote those values now that republicans will control both the white house and congress. The new Senate Minority leader new Yorks Chuck Schumer created new leadership roles for vermonts Bernie Sanders and wisconsins tammy baldwin, as the party tries to reach out to both progressives and midwesterners. Clinton acknowledged that the base is still reeling. I know that over the past themselves whether america is the country we thought it was. The divisions laid bare by this election run deep. But please, listen to me, when i say this. America is worth it. Reporter the former secretary of state spoke for about 20 minutes and she didnt give any hints about what might come next for her. She did say that she wishes she could go back in time and tell her mother that her daughter would go on to win the majority of votes, about charlie . Nancy, thanks are.
