Just when you thought it was all over the election three weeks ws ago still causing headaches, causing drama for everyone involved. Ladies and gentlemen, thean neck president ofd the u States Donald trump i promise that you i will non let you down. Own our best days are still ahead of us. Us [ applause ] not my president not my president ent its been so exciting to see people mobilize around the latest drama for receipt counset to the latest Transition Teamnea rumors we turn to jesse burns br associate editor at the hillito where he cover the 2 election. Still hasnt actually dee compressed but were glad t hasnt glad it youre with us this morning. Jill stein waging this recountrn fortrt. Some people saying why and willl it make difference . Nce . Its three states wisconsin,w michigan and pennsylvania. Nsylni and really she would need to bee result in all three would need e to be overturned for thed f t election to have any kind of out come. Thats obviously extremely but she is doing this. Ng ts. Theyve already filed ined wisconsin and theyre doing pennsylvania and michigan thiss week. Week will it overturn the election en results . Likely not. Ly n but its something theyreometnt pushing for. Gor. But in all three states im hearing Hillary Clinton really had like ary she was short by 17,000 ballots which is feasibll that perhaps if they did recount that she can maybe come out on n top in those states. Tates. Yeah. Michiosest one is michigan and it was nearlgay 5,000 5 milln votes and 10,000 separated herar conceivable that there might be a change there. The but she would have to have aave difference in michigan as well l somewhere like wisconsin for f there even to be a question jusn because trump a massed more thaa 300 electoral votes you onlynly need 270. Ed 2 even as a couple of those statee were overturn it wouldnt changg the election. Io i said we know it wont makem a difference. History has known that a lot oft times in these recounts exceptet for al franken in minnesota anea couple years ago it made aade difference. Di why not . Just go ahead don it. Satisfy everyone who might think the system was rig. Rig something might have been here. Why not do this recount . Ecou thats something the clintonn campaign has been saying. Gn hsa they said we didnt want a recount. Unt now jill stein the green partyn thlaunched one theyll join itt because they want their interest to be represented. Se trump doesnt like that. T like he wants this to be b he planned the seeds ofds o rigged election so you wouldould think of all people would say go ahead and count ill won thisl t thing and youll see. G and youl you could expect there to bet some voices but like until his h camp saying this isnt an issuee just ignore it and let it playla out as it will. Feud. Raising facebook claim of millions of fraudulent votesent across the country it does seeme to irk him a bit clinton won the popular vote by 2 million evenoe though she didnt win thein t electoral college. Why is he so bothered by thit recount . Look you won thisonhis thing. Why not let the people have their recount and further proving that, hey, youre tndhee man . Yeah. H tow so to speak. Pe he doesnt like the challenge to his authority that he was ths elected. What is he some kind of auto cat, i dont get it. On he doesnt like the row come. He initially pushed back on jill stein but go after democratsocrs once they joined in on thishi recount. I see the validity on bothn t sides. Si lets talk about the trump andmp his Transition Team now. Mow mitt romney a name that keepst p continuing to get kicked about. A a lot of people are saying thata Kellyanne Conway coming out to say, you know, he shouldnt beub considered that is actuallyed tl trump putting her up to it so he can have an out. Can ha what do you make of this whole o dangling the carrot in front of romney bit. Mine. Trump shes doing it with his blessing. Si and thats she, you know, won this campaign this surprise wini as the Campaign Manager she hash a lot of leeway it seems with w the Trump Campaign. Very front offed adviser viewede as very loyal to trump when shes wants to go out there andnd criticize romney a very vocalal critic of trump in the campaign, trump is allowing her to do so s but it is obviously, kind of, kf bizarre to see that happeningapg when hes actively consideringsg romney for secretary of state. E if youre mitt long do you go along with this . I clearly games are being played. E how do you go along with this t and does it damage you were thee guy who, you know, they cepy ce kicking around like a football . L at the end of the day trumpat will be the one that decides. Ecs so its not out of the questiont that romney could be the pick. C it seems unlikely though justus because so many of those in trump inner circle are publiclyi bashing him. Ba hes going meet today with trump and so theyll have some type oo statement after that we would wd expect but, yeah, there areherea several other candidates havent circle who would likely receivei the nomination. Nation general patreas name has been has been also broughtugt up. He would make the third general if he were in fact chose zen too be within trumps transitionrann which is a record there. A rect. But hed have tough time getting approved as well with his record. Yeah, obviously he has a lot usly h of militarhays experience. Ience led afghanistan as ci directorec but he also was found to send classified information to his th biographer. Thats something in the Senate Confirmation thatss sons likely to be raised obviously by democrats but even somee republicans who are going too ao point to that and say, you know, look we raised this issue with t Hillary Clinton so much whicho h she was secretary of state why are we going to ignore it withet her replace many. Any sum it up for me. Sum it up f you cover this campaignor f mron nuts to bolts. Ol. President elect trump whats heh going to do . G to d [ laughter ]er ] if you knew thats correctw you should play the lottery for me as well. La at the end oy f theth , do youdo y see him picking romney which a a lot of people say would make mak sense but given the friction ino doing with the secretary ofth state position which seems to te the most coveted pig at this thi point. I wouldnt rule it out itntu seems whenever you have one side that theres so much discorddisr its unlikely that he would do that. Hes praised patreas and seemsns like maybe patreas is in the mix there. Romney still in the mixll in m obviously they wouldnt be meeting today but its very v unlikely that he would actuallyy pick him democrats would likeldk that. Even a loft moderate republicans would like that but as far as a Trump Campaign they would likeie that undecided. Ndeced he pick. Pick. Hes been rolling them out. E theres some speculation early on may he wouldnt get there ine time but hes been rolling out t cabinet picks he announcedoued another one today well looklloo forward to seeing more maybe may even later this week. Laterhis. We look forward to seeing yoy begun for more discussion on ths transition. Ansi absolutely. Utel jesse burns with the hill. Ur thank you very muchns w. H over to you, guys. 9 20. 9 20.
