robert, let's begin with you. this is always an uncomfortable nextis, kind of a new area for law and journalism of stolen material that slops over into the public realm in this case confirmed by a public official. >> we are in this new age of political journalism and politics where everything private will become public or has the threat of becoming public and this is something we're dealing with each and every day and especially in this campaign with wikileaks and different ties to russian intelligence with the democratic national committee, this is looming over this entire campaign. >> nicole, you know general powell, he was forthright when contacted by andrea mitchell, a wounded veteran of combat in vietnam, he doesn't scare easily but there's concern about what else. >> both campaigns responded as you might have expected them to respond. the trump campaign said he's voted democrat in the last two elections and we would expect him to be critical. the clinton campaign didn't want to engage with him after the rece

robert, what happened tonight? >> on wednesday night, it was really late, donald trump had finished a rally in canton, ohio. so we're sitting there and i had a list of questions, and one of the questions i had was kellyanne conway said that trump now believes that obama was born in the united states. so i asked him is kellyann conway accurate? he said i don't want to answer that. we had a lengthy exchange about it, and what he said, i published tonight. >> when you published this, the conversation was so fast and to furious, that within about an hour's time, we got the following statement from the trump-pence campaign. fir here is the nut paragraph, in 2011, mr. donald trump was finally able to bring this ugly incident to its conclusion by successfully compelling president obama to release his birth certificate. mr. trump did a great service to the president and the country by bringing closure to the issue that hillary clinton and her team first raised. inarguably, donald j. trump is a closure, having successfully

that's with our differences. >> robert costa, do you see a pattern here? lets call it the gold star model? >> well, we have seen donald trump tangled with private citizens and that's such a different dynamic, brian th, th we see a political battle. those are some of trump's difficult moment whether it is judge curiel. trump comes out of the private sector and these kinds of messy public that's central to his career whether it is rosie o' donnel. this is a different spectrum he's in and he's adjusting weeks left until the election. >> charlie, all i can think of to say was that we have been watching two different conversations in a split screen and really, the last thought unuttered was to two different nations and constituents, you were talking of the subgroups with your republican listeners, do you siee the wider picture? >> yes, we have used the word bizarre and people described this as surreal. part of the conversation is what hillary clinton is doing is she's coming up with an issue and she's going to weaponize this issue of miss universe. >> what she'

. >> was there one of those moments like in the movie "the candidate" with robert redford sits on the bed and says "what do we do now?" was there a reckoning that the power and privileges of the office were going to be transferred to this man from new york? >> there certainly was not a moment of "what do we do now" because we've been prae parg for what you would do since may when donald trump asked me to lead the transition. under the new law operating in the country, both the trump campaign and the clinton campaign have been working on a transition since may and doing so really assiduously but quietly and i think there's no question that i saw in the president-elect last night a real recognition that he was going to be the 45th president of the united states, a solemn nettie in that and he understands he's going to be the leader of the free world and the responsibilities that come with that. >> what did he make of hillary clinton's appearance, her concession remarks today, and the campaign she ran? >> well, first of all the remarks were very, very gracious and i know because i was wi

here to lock at whok at what ki policy we might see, hugh hewitt from the hugh hewitt show, and robert, what do you know about the process? >> trump has a tight-knit inner circle. it's a group that came out of the campaign, brian, and it remains close to him. he's a lot like bill clinton in 1992 and what we're looking at with trump who has two majority in congress, but his core is a group that's close to him, that has earned his trust and he sees as loyal. >> hugh hewitt, you're not the incoming white house spokesman but nonetheless, someone has given donald trump access with his phone again. and we're going to lose half a news cycle arguing over whether the protesters are professionals on the streets of american cities. we have this as a guide. 2012 after the election donald trump tweeted "we can't let this happen, we should march on washington and stop this travesty, our nation is totally divided." one thing remains true. there are folks in the street. another, our nation is totally divided. what do you have to say about this start? >> well, he had a great day. i don't know why the t

>> absolutely, to anyone in charge. >> it brings us to robert costa. it is interesting to see when names get floated out the kinds of -- i always say the driving washington establishment, the ford f-150 being the actual in america. it is interesting to see the ones that give people in the establishment a sigh of relief and were in for days and weeks of this. >> we certainly are. the discussion about secretary of state is perhaps the most compelling. you have two people who don't really have out of trump's foreign policy school. both of their allies tell me tonight that they do have more of a -- as they put it, a ronald reagan view of the world. though they had been associated with support for george w. bush they go back to the ronald reagan and how they see the world in a more restrained u.s. foreign policy. >> and how are you hearing relations are going because we also hear differing reports from trump tower which is the, you know, will be the northern white house far for a good long time. it is a scene of protests every night. what are relations like

el men are degeneres, robert nero, tom hanks, robert redford, diana ross, bruce springsteen, cecily tyson, lorne michaels, and more, kareem abdul-jabbar and michael jordan. oh, also on the list, vin scully who was the voice of the dodgers for 67 seasons. today he got the call from the white house informing him of the medal and cameras were there to record it. >> hello? >> mr. scully? >> yes? >> hi there, my name is josh earnest i'm the white house press secretary -- >> oh, my gosh i,sy certainly know the name, how are you, sir? >> every year the president gives out something called the presidential medal of freedom. >> oh, yes. >> it's the highest civilian honor that any president can give and president obama has given it out every year he's been in office and he gives it to just a handful of people and this year he's going to give it to you. >> oh, my gosh, no. >> yes, you've had -- >> are you sure? i'm just an old baseball announcer. i'm rather overwhelmed and humbled. thank you so much, josh. >> my pleasure, take care. >> bye for now. >> how cool was that? >> they gave out a medal for

i wasn't surprised at all. >> robert costa, we have seen a system of floats. a name is floated sometimes later in the day, it's kind of batted around and rescinded. we have heard giuliani's name floated for secretary of state. we've heard governor haley's name floated for secretary of state. this is the third in three days. is there something else going on here? >> this is how trump has been throughout his career. he loves to float things through the media to see how they play, to gauge reaction, to whisper something out there and to see how it plays and with romney and governor haley you see romney making an overture to the republican establishment. even if he doesn't pick him, he's trying to say they were under consideration. >> kasie hunt here with us in new york. what do you make of this news today? >> i think mitt romney considers himself above all a patriot and i think if donald trump were to put this offer on the table in a real way i can't imagine that there's a universe in which the romneys -- mitt romney but also his family, he makes these kinds of d

robert, we'll begin with you. he has only made one cabinet appointment or nomination. all of this flutter of act tufttu tufty. >> there is a sense she could be the pick for u.n. ambassador. the trump camp, their whole thought process is maybe they could not be portrayed as hawks. >> we had a tweet tonight from donald trump which by way of going after the news media talked about this notion of conflict of interest. we'll pull it up on the screen. prior to the election it was well known that i have interests in propties all over the world. only the crooked media makes this a big deal. >> his properties overseas, he said he would hand it over to his kids, never talk about it. it was peanuts in his words compared to running the country. they are still very early on in the transition and, yes, they were not necessarily ready and prepared to begin a transition because there wasn't a lot of hope that he was going to win the election in the days before. donald trump was souper stishs. trump hasn't done a lot to from the trump business. since he was elected he met with his indi

for more now, i'm joined by the "washington post" robert costa, an mbls analyst, as well as a political report we are nbc news. you've interviewed him. you've been following this guy from the very beginning. the trump who showed up on what seemed to be a charm offensive, how much of that is donald trump moving into a new role now that he is president-elect and not a candidate? has always changed his volume level, his settings politically depending on his audience. not that he changes the message or the substance but he changes the presentation. he wants to keep the populist conservative side of the party with him. the establishment and the media and much of his own party is wary of him. relationships. situation. media, this is a guy who ran he has republican leaders who are just as skeptical. he is a lot more of a blank canvas. in the campaign. even during the campaign he was at odds with the republican leadership. now he goes to the "new york times" yesterday. he drops these hints that make a liberal audience maybe get a little bit hopeful. do we have any sense where he will land in. >

president-elect or president going after an individual american could have, former labor secretary robert reich said, a chilling effect. >> yes, i'm just back from trump nation, my parents' house. the trump world view is that he's standing up for the little guy, and the trump world view is that the little guy has not been well-served by union bosses who collect dues and they feel like they've left behind a lot of workers. that said, what trump is going to have to reckon with is that the american presidency is a bully pulpit like none other, and every word you utter, every facial expression you make, everything you wear, everything you drive, everything you eat, makes a statement the world over. so -- and there is a word for this. it is bullying. when you cyber bully a normal person, a man going about his life in his community, it is not the same as having a debate at town hall or wherever they would sort of have these disputes at a local level. he's now the leader of the free world and he's going to have to rein in some of his methods if not his message. >> heidi, to you in washington, an

touted the support tillerson is getting from well known republicans including condoleezza rice and robert gates. trump did not, however, acknowledge that they along with steven hadley, who is also endorsed tillerson, all do work for exxon with their consulting firm which happens to be named rice hadley gates. tonight, the president-elect made a glancing reference to the controversy surrounding this tillerson nomination. >> rex is one of the greatest and most skilled global business leaders of our time. made some of the greatest deals. and you know, rex is friendly with many of the leaders in the world that we don't get along with. and some people don't like that. they don't want them to be friendly. that's why i'm doing the deal with rex, because i like what this is all about. >> importantly especially in light, important, especially in light of a guest standing by to talk to us before the full senate gets to vote on tillerson, his nomination has to clear the senate foreign relations committee where the demes and minority need one republican to vote with them and they can kill the nominat

robert, good to see you again. welcome back. i guess standards of human decency and the geneva convention allow for you to take some time off after the campaign. but we have missed you terribly around here. first of all, this election was more or less made official today with the vote of the electors. there was a lot of talk about it. a lot of talk about lobbying efforts to get people to change their minds. is in the end, is it not true that hillary clinton had more electors defect than donald trump? >> that is the case, brian. president-elect trump today at his estate in palm beach, very elated. his people tell me about this victory, the expected victory in the electoral college. but a focus today on foreign policy, private meetings. vice president-elect pence met with henry kissinger, an acknowledgement that it's foreign policy that is now at the fore. >> we just showed the word landslide. mr. trump continues to use the word landslide. does it hold up to any scrutiny? >> secretary clinton certainly won the popular vote, no dou

robert, ali, eugene. robert costa, no sign that candidate trump is morphing into president trump any time soon, huh? >> nicolle, throughout my time reporting on the 2016 race, observing trump up close, he would often have a stack of papers printed out for him every day to read the news and he would sit there with the marker and underline key stories and circle them that he wanted to insert in his speech. i think what we see from his twitter feet is not random musings, though they seem like that, someone who's reacting to exactly what's put in front of him in terms of news coverage. i think that's what happened with north korea. >> ali, you have a theory somewhat of what's being put in front of him has to do with china. >> after that tweet he sent out another one. i don't know who got it. says "china has been taking out massive amounts of wealth and money from the u.s. in a totally one-sided trade but won't help with north korea. nice." i don't know whether he was taking the north korea thing -- he keeps t
