Minister was saying that there have been contacts wh the trump campaign, there were contacts with the trump campaign prior to the election. that opens up just a whole slew of questions that will have to be answered. this is not something that presidential campaigns have done in the past. so these are all very pressing questions that donald trump will have to answer at some point. he s the president-elect of this country and as president obama was saying here yesterday and hillary clinton was saying here yesterday, he is going to be our president, and so, you know, this is going to be one of those moments, i think a critical moment in the history of this country where we really have two paths in front of us and a lot of people here in washington have to determine which path we go down. is it going to be one of a unified, more bipartisan spirit in washington? we haven t seen much of that in the last eight years. remember, mitch mcconnell said that he wanted to make president obama a one- ....
Federal bureaucracy that president-elect trump has to fill, it s how do you transition to power. how do we living in the greatest democracy in the world have that peaceful transition, the handoff of the baton from one president to another. as we look at the monitor and see the plane about to land and about to taxi, this will be a very exciting day for mr. trump as well as the congressional elected leadership as we move to a new legacy in the united states of a smooth and very peaceful transition of power. that s a wonderful thing. ron, stay right there. jim demint, wolf blitzer has joined me. i m about to depart. this is really pretty amazing when you think about it. a lot of people, when he decided he was going to run for president really did not take it all that seriously. a lot of republicans didn t take it seriously. we know at least 16 or 17 republican presidential want-to-bes, senators, govern s governors, didn t take it seriously. all of a sudden they take it ....
They both have responsibilities right now that go way beyond their personal history. let s go back out to the white house and check in with athena jones. how will this meeting go down? we see the trump plane landing at reagan national airport. she s not there? i will ask wolf. i m sure you know the answer to this question. how exactly will it go down? will president obama come out and greet mr. trump and then escort him into i m sure what they are doing, what they have done and there s a whole history, i m sure president obama will want to do almost exactly what president bush did for him. i assume they will walk on that colonade outside the rose garden. there will be obviously a moment inside in the oval office. they will have their meeting. then the cameras will come in, reporters will come in, there will be that traditional photo opportunity and we will hear from the president. we will probably hear from the president-elect. reporters will then shout a few questions. we ll see ....
Moment like this, the president will want to receive him in a more majestic entrance which would be that south lawn entrance. we don t know that for sure. but that s my expectation. certainly president obama deeply appreciates as much as the antagonism that developed, the bitter words that were exchanged during the campaign and over these years, i should say i think he appreciates totally the historic moment that the country is about to observe and he wants to make it as smooth and as productive as possible. reporter: that s right. also, keep in mind this white house will want this moment recorded. the white house photographer, i m assuming, will be right there taking pictures of it. we will see those pictures at some point on the white house instagram account later on today. by the way, it may also be on the trump transition team twitter account. they opened up a trump transition team twitter account that fired up i think last night. we started seeing those tweets come out there. ....
I think here they come. you see donald trump let me interrupt for a moment. you see donald trump waving over there. he s walking down those stairs. he will get into one of those vehicles in the motorcade with melania trump and others and they will head over to the white house as i said. shouldn t take more than ten minutes to drive from reagan national airport over to the white house. there will be, i just want to remind our viewers, at the end of the meeting in the oval office, cameras will be allowed to go in there. we will hear a statement from the president and presumably the president-elect. i don t know if they will answer reporters questions, reporters will certainly try to ask them questions. i don t know if they will answer those questions before being whisked out. but this is the historic moment. go ahead. sorry for interrupting. absolutely. it is an historic moment for sure. actually, what i was just going to say was about the pictures that we are watching. we have ....
