is ordering 35 russian intelligence operatives and their families in california and washington, d.c., out of the country within 72 hours. and shutting down two russian government-owned compounds, one in maryland and another in new york. the president also de-classifying intelligence on russian cyber activity to help networks in the u.s. and abroad, quote, identify, detect and disrupt russian cyber attacks. in spite of this, and the u.s. intelligence community's assessment that russian ordered the election hacking, president-elect trump, just last night, continued to dismiss both moscow's involvement and the importance of the hacking at all. >> i think we ought to get on with our lives. i think that computers have complicated lives very greatly. the whole, you know, age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what's going on. >> reporter: senator john mccain traveling this week with other senators in the baltic region where countries are most worried about russian aggression responding with a sarcastic jab. >> i agree with president-elect, we need to get on with our lives wi

. >> joining me now to talk more about this is a -- reporter for the washington examiner. it's a difficult question, one we have to ask. could obama have done more to prevent the bloodshed in syria in. >> well, i don't think the question is if he could do more but what the nation have been willing to do more. i think that is what he is wrestling with. was there support in the u.s. for a bigger intervention, could we sustain that, if not we would have the problems we face in iraq. i'm not sure there is that much more on the table at the time. >> you -- obama also discussed russia's cyber hacking into the u.s. election saying that his administration's response to the hacking was adequate. he said that we handled it the way it should have been handled. do you really feel that way with a foreign power meddling in the democracy it was handled correctly? >> the way obama explained in the press conference, he felt there was a responsibility as the president to not instigate sort of a larger, bigger problem with russia. and you know, one of the things that obama showed yesterday i

the problem is democrats don't have any power at all in washington. zero power. subpoena power is in the hands of the republican-led senate and republican led house of representatives. it remains to be seen how they'll use that. in russia, republicans have decided to go forward and said they'll look into the election hacking and much to the chagrin of donald trump and his advisers but there will be pressure for them to stay on donald trump. >> emily, when ivanka sat in the meeting with her dad and shinzo abe which is the prime minister of japan after the election, i think some people said give him the benefit of the doubt, they're trying to figure this out. but sitting in on today's meeting one would wonder how long does that benefit of the doubt last? >> well, donald trump always gets the benefit of the doubt longer than anyone else would normally get the benefit of the doubt but the trump kids have always sat in on meets with their father. since they were children they've been vfollowing him around to construction sites. >> not the president-elect. >> i'm not s

let's start with sunlen serfaty in washington. >> good morning, chris. there has been a firestorm of criticism from democrats and those within donald trump's own party, slamming his pick for secretary of state, so the president-elect is now responding by using the campaign-style rallies to push publicly for his nominee, bracing for the battle ahead. >> a great diplomat, a strong man, a tough man. >> reporter: in wisconsin, donald trump defending his choice for secretary of state, rex tillerson. >> rex will be a fierce advocate for america's interests around the world. >> reporter: trump talking up the exxon ceo after facing backlash from both sides of the aisle over tillerson's ties to russia, especially now in the

he's a very smart, nimble politician and great relationships not only in texas, but within washington. he's conservative. and, you know, trump is putting together a cabinet that conservatives like. alongside with the change that people have been looking for. so, you know, i think he's actually doing an interesting mix and it's very reflective of what people want from him. something different and something nonpredictable. >> panel, stick around. we'll talk much more. we do want to follow some breaking news right now from syria where new shelling is quickly erasing a supposed cease-fire and evacuation plan in aleppo. regime forces are lodging fresh assaults and causing many civilian injuries. let's bring in cnn senior international correspondent frederick from beirut. fred, what's the latest in. >> hi, alisyn. what was supposed to happen this morning is that the rebel forces were supposed to evacuate the area and then the rebel forces were going to move in and take over all of aleppo. what we're seeing there is full-on war activists saying they are hit by many artillery shells. but the

which has been a i've been in washington back and forth between washington and new york. and it's been an ever expanding grown of people who are getting rich off of the government. that's what i think he was talking about. i don't know that he was necessarily talking about not having a treasury secretary who is from goldman sachs. bill clinton had a treasury secretary from goldman sachs, but rick perry is -- he's a politician, obviously. but he's also somebody who's very critical of trump, ultimately came around and did campaign for him, but i think it's interesting that he would choose somebody who had real come after him. >> and speaking of rick perry. let's look at rick perry now. secretary of energy. that's a big -- we all remember this moment from 2011. >> it's three agencies of government when i get there that are gone. commerce, education, and the -- what's the third one there? let's see. >> you can't name the third one? >> the third agency of government -- i would do away with education, the -- commerce, and let's see -- i can't. the third one i can't, i'm sorry.

bringing in maggie haberman and phillip baum, political reporter for the "washington post." thank you both for being here. maggie, do you think it's possible that president-elect trump, president trump, will never do a press conference? newt gingrich has suggested that that's what he thinks should happen. >> i think any assumption that what we know of in the white house will continue is erroneous. certain traditions will hold i suspect. there will be some form of a daily briefing. certain titles. communications director, press secretary. i think it's possible that you'll see the president, once he is president, just tweet out his thoughts or give one-off interviews and make his thoughts known that way. his press conferences used to be very contentious. he would shoot down questions or tell people to sit down when he didn't like them. he is very good at controlling the information flow right now but it is disturbing in terms of access to a free press. >> because there are questions to ask. >> sure. >> phillip, one of the things i think that president-elect trump doesn't neces

in washington. from you're you're watching in the world, welcome. and president-elect donald trump settled on rex tillerson, selection for secretary of state. he has no government foreign policy experience but has done lots of business with countries and leaders around the world and has a very good relationship with the russian president vladimir putin. the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov says his country welcomes the choice of tillerson. we also heard praise from the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, who said, i'm quoting him now, "rex tillerson's decades of experience have been widely recognized for focus leadership around the globe. i look forward to supporting his nomination" and then there was vice president-elect mike pence. >> we just couldn't be more grateful that someone of rex tillerson's proven leadership and accomplishments have been willing to step forward to serve our nation as our next secretary of state. >> we've also heard that donald trump has made his choice for energy secretary. the former texas governor rick perry.

hold -- david they arerenhold of th "washington post." want about postponing the explanation how donald trump will extricate himself from his business imp peeempire. what his adviser to anderson cooper last night. >> a very unconventional situation. normally politicians moving from political job to political job. in this case a very successful businessman who's brilliant a billionaire, assets and holdings all over the globe and that needs to have a transfer of power through the proper channels. >> what do you make of this delay of pushing this off until very possibly close to his inauguration? >> well, it either means the trump team hasn't figured out how do it and have and know people won't like it and want to delay it after the electoring vote on the 19ble. >> you would have expected prior to being elected this would have been in the works. then you hear from people saying there were many people even close to donald trump who didn't expect for him to win and questioned whether due diligence was done on prepping something like this? >> i

"washington post" reporter abby phillip it washington bureau chief for the dallas morning news todd gillman. thanks for being here. abby, manu's kind of laying out, he said very importantly, that amongth the leadership ranks, they seemed -- leadership is closing ranks around to support rex tillerson. do you see a confirmation battle coming for him? >> i see one regardless. step one is leadership surrounding him and supporting his nomination. i do think there are a lot of republicans out there who want to have a lot of conversations with the trump administration publicly about their positions toward russia, about the sort of broader questions of the direction of trump's foreign policy. tillers tillerson's nomination is going to be a proxy for that. that being said, there's never been a secretary of state nomination the senate has blocked or the president has revoked. so it would be extraordinary for this very important and very high-profile position to be blocked. i think that in and of itself. >> especially by his own party. >> i think it would be tough. >> alex, marco rubio, he's got conce

you call in this latest washington post op ed for a new civil disobedience. you say along the lines of thomas payne or thoreau or dr. king. what does that disobedience look like? how do you think it's executed most effectively in an america that you know needs to be united in some way? >> well, i think that the values that have been promoted as american for over 200 years, i think that's what we should focus on. diversity, inclusion, looking out for the little guy. i mean, that's what we should be about. and some of the choices that he's making, you know, very wealthy people who really have no history of having any contact with common people that they're supposed to be representing and acting in their best interests. it makes me curious. >> if you look at the nomination of gary cohen, he came from very, very humble, humble beginnings, self-made. >> that's one guy. >> okay. >> everybody -- >> not enough for you. >> everybody gets there somehow. you just said you've got to look at how somebody gets their own success, but what is the root of your concern? becaus

sunlen serfaty, cnn, washington. >> sunlen, thank you very much. here to discuss, cnn political analyst david gregory and reporter for the what's post, abby phillips. good to have you both. abby, you think tillerson is a compromise pick. i wonder where the loyalty is. rudy giuliani, tons of international experience. security adviser in all of these different countries. chris made the point earlier, rex tillerson has a ton of experience in oil-rich countries, a ton of experience in russia, saudi arabia, et cetera. but he doesn't have any diplomatic experience and he doesn't have any experience in countries that don't have oil. >> that's true, but this is a president who also has no political experience and no diplomatic experience. >> you're making the case. then don't yoe need someone who does? >> he's looking for people who understand the world like he does in some sense. i think he views -- he and others in his camp and some of the folks who have beened advisg him, bob gates, condoleezza rice, they believe that tillerson has had enough experience

diplomacy is more powerful than washington insiders realize. this is someone because he knows how to get things done, can move things along in america's interests. that is what they need to prove. >> that's right. keep in mind after louisiana voted this weekend, the senate split is 52-48. republicans cannot afford to lose more than three members if democrats vote as one block. we had four republican senators they have questions. the mission now is to convince these people that rex tillerson is great because he can do what he did in the business world and make some of the connections. >> it looks to me that fits pell. rex tillerson's pick is well with the other names. gary cohen from goldman sachs. you look at steve mnuchin. these are dealmaker whos who ha been successful and made money by doing what they do well. it is interesting trump the dealmaker is surrounding himself with people he can understand. other dealmakers. >> can i push back on the world connection? anyone who is secretary of state gets calls returned. doesn't matter if you ever

steve mnuchin has wall street experience but not of washington. neither is rex tillerson. they fit a similar profile of having a career outside -- >> they're not creatures of washington but they are not -- they're not outsiders. >> i've never heard someone's name mispronounced as much as mnuchin. >> did i get it right? >> mnuchin, mnuchin, whatever. >>> is free speech under fire in america? why some students are calling for safe spaces to protect them on campus and those students are on campus and those students are not liberals. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com family road trip! fun! check engine. not fun! but, you've got hum. that's like driving with this guy. all you do is press this, and in plain english, "coolant", you'll know what's wrong. if you do need a mechanic, just press this.

when he was running, he said, we need people who understand business, we need people who aren't of washington. the first three names are a depart sure from that profile. >> he picked mike pennsylvania as his running mate, even though mike pence endorsed ted cruz in the primaries. >> mike pence is a conservative and donald trump is something other than that. >> he's chosen several major donors or fund-raisers to join his cabinet. he said he was going to drain the swamp, do you think these types of appointments are contrary to that statement? >> you have folks like betsy devos for education. these are establishment people, these are not the people up from the body politics so to speak, these are well healed people who have contributed to the party, who have connections within the party, who have been insider circles throughout their careers, this is who donald trump is sur run readying himself with, i think it's by design. whether it works or not -- >> they're all outsiders. even someone like congressman tom price, he is a critic of the way hhs has been run. he's an outsider in that agency, tha

. >> cnn is covering all of the angles, working our sources in washington. in moscow, ryan is outside trump tower. as you heard us say earlier, one former cia director called these russian hacks on the u.s. system the political equivalent of 9/11. >> reporter: it's a comparison to not take lightly. despite concerns from the intelligence community and now a powerful group of republican senators, the president-elect remains uncon vinced that this alleged russian hack is a serious problem. tonight donald trump is ramping up a showdown over the alleged role russia may have played in the race for president. every major u.s. intelligence agency concluding that russia did in fact interfere with the election. >> i think it's ridiculous. i think it's just another excuse. i don't believe it. >> reporter: on sunday trump flatly told fox news that he does not believe the reports that the cia believes russia actively attempted to intervene. this morning he doubled down in a series of tweets, writing, quote, can you imagine if the election results were opposite and we tri

here in washington. 8:00 p.m. in aleppo, syria. 9:00 p.m. in moscow. wherever you're watch from around the world, thanks very much for joining us. >>> discussions about russia top the hour. president-elect donald trump using the word "ridiculous" as his opinion on cia reports russia's hacking was intended to influence the u.s. presidential election. he also tweeted this morning, and i'm quoting now, can you imagine if the election results can the opposite and we tried to play the russia cia card? it would be called conspiracy theory. a group of prominent senators from both sides of the aisle want to know much more. john mccain and lindsey graham on the republican side. chuck schumer and jack reed for democrats. the process of russian interference should "alarm every american." senate majority leader mitch mcconnell spoke about it this morning. >> it defies belief somehow republicans in the senate are reluctant to review russian tactics or ignore them. so last let me say i have the highest confidence in the intelligence community and especially the cent

here in washington. 8:00 p.m. in aleppo, syria. 9:00 p.m. in moscow. wherever you're watch from around the world, thanks very much for joining us. >>> discussions about russia top the hour. president-elect donald trump using the word "ridiculous" as his opinion on cia reports russia's hacking was intended to influence the u.s. presidential election. he also tweeted this morning, and i'm quoting now, can you imagine if the election results can the opposite and we tried to play the russia cia card?

. >>> joining us now to discuss, senior international correspondent clarissa ward and senior washington correspondent for politico, ana palmer. great to see you two. ana, i want to get your take and lean on your best knowledge of capitol hill. you now have a bipartisan group of senators calling for investigations. one of them leading the charge, of course, is senator john mccain. investigations into russia's hacking. listen to what he said yesterday. >> vladimir putin is a thug and a murderer and a killer and a kgb agent. he had boris nemtsov murdered. he's now precision strikes by russian aircraft on hospitals in aleppo. let's call vladimir putin for who he is. it's too important. a fundamental of a democracy is a fair and free election. >> john mccain is calling for bipartisan kind of investigation, maybe commission to look into russia's hacking. we just heard from senator motorcycle, though, saying to go through regular order but that also should not be a partisan issue. what is the impact of what mr. mcconnell is saying this morning on how far republicans you think are going to be g

washington bureau chief for "usa today," jason johnson also joins me, political science professor at morgan state university. susan, should americans worry about this pick for secretary of state? >> well, some americans are expressing some concern, some important americans, including the chairman of the senate armed services committee john mccain, who yesterday said he was concerned about whether tillerson would have too much of a tilt toward russia. and if donald trump goes ahead and nominates him for secretary of state, we know he's going to get some scrutiny in the senate foreign relations committee for confirmation. marco rubio, a member of that committee, expressed concern. rand paul is on that committee. so is jeff flake. those are some independent-minded republican voices who i think are likely to raise questions about tillerson's history with russia in general and vladimir putin in particular. well, well, here's a concern jason and i'm going to try to put it as simply as i possibly can. so exxon the company wanted to do a lot of oil facilities in russia. but then russia invad

he's about the least partisan and most straight shooter i've seen in washington. so, to dispute and blow off what he said, i guess if you blow off what jim clapper is telling you, you do at your peril. >> the same agency told america that there were weapons of mass destruction before the invasion of 2003 turned out to be wrong. why should they believe him now? >> well, there is a difference. and what we're talking about here is not the agency. there is a lot of, i think we need to -- there is a cia. but the intelligence community which jim clapper speaks for is 17 different agencies that reached a consensus position, including the fbi. so, to say, well, that's sort of confusing to say, well, the cia made a mistake. of course, people make mistakes. i have to tell you, i read a lot of intelligence briefings. that statement they put out in october is one of the more unequivocal that i've seen. there just doesn't seem to be much doubt that the russians were involved. there are questions about what their motivations were and that is something yet to be fully determined

now, he is responding to these anonymous quotes in the new york times and the washington post and were able to match it at the daily beast that the cia believes the republican national committee was hacked and that information wasn't released because they wanted to throw the election towards trump and damage the clinton campaign. there's real shock in the cia. >> i should note that reince priebus did say on "meet the press" that the rnc was not hacked but clearly those are big disagreements on that one. jeffrey lord to you, doesn't this put mike pompeo in quite a precarious situation that the president-elect doesn't trust the veracity of the information coming from the cia. what does he do when he's leading it? >> you replace the director of the cia, which is in process, and the new head will take charge and investigation things. >> that doesn't change the morale issue. that doesn't change what kimberly said how they feel. >> the new director can do that. you can go all the way back to the bay of pigs which was pressed on president kennedy by the then director of the cia and it was a b

it is brewing a potential, big showdown in washington here over the next several weeks. it is clear the senators feel this is a problem that needs to be investigated. they're not going to just accept the fact that president-elect trump thinks that there isn't a problem here. listen to what chuck schumer, the incoming minority leader in the senate, had to say about it this morning. >> the fact that the cia and fbi disagree shows the need for a bipartisan investigation that gets to the bottom of this. the investigation should be tough, strong and bipartisan. and should have access to all materials, classified and not. >> there is a lot raises, inclu the trump administration will handle the relationship with russia. the president-elect doesn't believe russia was behind the attack. it is clear that mccain, schumer and others clearly believe the russians were behind it. there are also going to be questions that if congress pushes for a full investigation, how cooperative will a trump administration be in making that happen? if the president-elect doesn't think there is a prob

i think what he hears from the reporting that's been coming out this weekend in the "washington post" and elsewhere, what he hears is that his election was illegitimate. i don't think that that is the point the intelligence say jen si -- agencies have been trying to make, boris. >> one of the points of contention over the weekend in the reporting about the information that the cia has and what we're hearing from, specifically, the rnc, is whether or not the rnc was hacked. have you heard anything about that? >> well, i'm glad you asked. exactly, we've been following this very closely. we have been checking every few weeks on whether or not the rnc was breached. we're told the fbi has still not found that the rnc itself was directly breached by these russian hackers. what they did find was there were third-party entities, at least one-third-party entity, that had some data belongings to the rnc and there might have been a breach there. the data appeared to be outdated and didn't really have much value, which is why you haven't seen the same impact as the dnc breach. it is also clear th

during the campaign donald trump made it clear that he favors businessmen over washington politicians and wanted to improve u.s./russian ties or relations. let's bring in scott bolduan, who supported hillary clinton in the election, and brian robinson republican strategist and donald trump supporter. good to have you back. >> thanks for having me. >> brian, i want to start with you on rex tillerson's connections to vladimir putin. let's listen to what tillerson said this year about his relationship with the russian president. >> my relationship with vladimir putin, which dates back almost 15 years now, i've known him since 1999, and i have a very close relationship with him, i don't agree with everything he's doing, i don't agree with everything a lot of leaders are doing, but he understands that i'm a businessman and i've invested a lot of money, our company has invested a lot of money in russia, very successfully. >> reading up on these two men, they have a pretty close relationship. he received the -- tillerson received the order of friendship decoration three years ago. is tillers

when i landed last night in washington and i got the messages, i tell you, i was a bit sad and and a bit disappointed. i really felt that wasn't a role for president elect trump to go after chuck jones. what chuck was doing was in fact terrifying. he has a responsibility to the members of his local union. and when he heard that there were going to be 1100 jobs saved those families were excited to have a shot at some security. when he investigated that is when he found out there were 780 jobs to be saved and 70 management jobs. and he had a responsibility to get the message out. and then he got slammed. and we said very early on. we wrote to president elect trump after the election. and said on the things you want to work on weir willing to work with you. we want to replace the south korean trade deal, etc., but we also want to have the same position as the president elect. when a company fires people and brings job to another off shore country and then wants to bring those jobs back in and sell them in america, that is not right and president elect -- >> so you have a lot in common o

they believe that washington is about washington and not about them, and here comes a guy who says blow it all up. i'm different. i'm not bought. i'm going to help you. i'm going to speak to the heartland. he took repeated trips. >> the guy who said that was bernie sanders. what trump did -- he took that message but 'also added other stuff that was disturbing, didn't he? >> well, let me say this. as the white man who grew up in integrated schools, and i'd say in many ways was on the front edge of integration. there were schools that were white and then we had our first african american young man come when i was in fifth grade, and by the time, and i was in the first white class to go to bernie hills high school in athens georgia that was a black high school at the time, and by the way, i've been beat up because of my race. i have been a victim of what would be called a hate crime now. but i'm also secure in who i am racially, and i don't need donald trump or the media or whoever to define me racially, and so -- >> a representative. first of all, if you were victimized, i think that's te

. >>> hello, i'm jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is still quite divided. almost one month after donald trump defeated hillary clinton, officials from both campaigns are still raw and emotional, bitter and angry, more offended than introspective. hillary clinton won the popular vote white donald trump easily surpassed the 270 electoral votes needed to win the white house. today we're going to bring you something rarely seen. both major presidential campaign managers sitting together, doing a joint interview, discussing how we got here. a conversation both enlightening and contentious. trump's kellyanne conway and clinton's robbie mook, each dedicated their lives to the singular task of seeing the other have a bad night in november. i sat down with them at harvard university's institute of politics to go behind the scenes of one of the most unprecedented and ugly campaigns in modern history. >> robbie, i know there are a lot of people here, especially here at harvard, who are wondering, what happened? what went wrong. obviously hillary clinton won the popula

let's talk to two people in the room, the two jeffs, jeff zeleny is back with us, washington correspondent and bernie sanders campaign manager jeff weaver. so great to have both of you on and my goodness, where to begin. jeff zeleny, to you first. i mean, i know this happened over the course of two days last nig night. when did things take a turn for the worse. >> well, brooke, that clip you played right there was around the conversation of steve bannon, of course the chief strategist at the end of the campaign for the trump campaign who is the former executive for breitbart news. it was at that point that jennifer palmieri decided to make her argument about the elephant in the room. up until then it was a civil discussion but one thing to keep in mind. it may look like emotions were running out of control. that's partially true but the clinton campaign team came in there with a purpose of trying to be the last time to defend hillary clinton. this is viewed as a first draft of history, i've gone to the last five of these since the bush v. gore one in 2000. i can tell you this was much more

hier in washington. 8:00 p.m. in damascus, syria, and wherever you're watching from around the world, thanks very much for joining us. >>> up first -- president-elect donald trump gets back to transition business after a rousing campaign style rally. trump and vice president-elect mike pence made the first stop on their thank you tour in cincinnati, ohio last night. trump used the rally to tout his victory, bash the news media and double down on campaign promises. he also made a major campaign announcement. >> we are going to appoint mad dog mattis -- [ cheers ] -- as our secretary of defense. but we're not announcing i

>> wolf, we had tremendous response to senator sanders' piece at "the washington post." i think he effectively served notice he wants to be one of the leaders of the loyal opposition to president-elect trump, and i think in the long-term, his message might be successful. this idea that company after company might come to the administration and ask for handouts or tax breaks in order to not move their jobs overseas. but in the short term, i think it's going to be a tough argument for democrats, because right now you have president-elect trump take thing victory lap saying however small or unorthodox, he was able to save a thousand jobs of the people in indiana. >> that's going to resonate politically, of course. jeffrey toobin, trump did a bit of gloating today, bragging about when he won the indiana primary. during his election night victory speech, he pledged to be the president for all americans, even those who didn't vote for him. should the president-elect strike right now a more conciliatory, unifying tone, instead of that relitigating the campaign? >> you know, may

some had speculated that he could head here to washington. schultz says however that's not going to happen. >>> one wivictim's mother says e was cooked to death. now james archer ray is barest back in the self help business. why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas for pulmonary hypertension, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or any symptoms of an allergic reaction, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. as

"the lead" starts right now. donald trump taking a victory lap at a factory that he helped save before laufrninching his t you tour. will he be playing the hit like build a wall or will his supporters here a new tune from the now president-elect? >>> no fuel. total failure. new chilling audio from the final moments before a plane crash nearly wiped out a beloved soccer team. >>> plus, descending into hell. a u.n. official pleading for action in allepo before the city becomes an even bigger graveyard as tens of thousands starve or die from russian and syrian

note, it is 50 days before he officially places his hand on that bible in washington and becomes the next president of the united states. i'm talking about trump winning back a thousand jobs in indiana that had been on their way to mexico. any minute now trump and his vice president-elect, mike pence, who you will remember as the governor of the great state of indiana, they're scheduled to tour the carrier air conditioning plant in indiana but as trump and pence take a victory lap, taxpayers could lose out and critics including conservatives say trump may be setting a dangerous precedent. a source familiar with the negotiations tells cnn carrier will get $7 million in state incentives and tax breaks over the course of ten years in exchange for keeping those thousand jobs where they are. meantime this carrier tour kicks off a day of celebration for trump. later on he will begin what his team is calling a thank you tour starting with an event in cincinnati, ohio. first we begin in indiana. se cnn's suzanne malveaux is in indianapolis. has his plane arrived. >> reporter: we know the pla

we heard from bernie sanders earlier today in an op-ed in "the washington post," very harsh criticism of this. saying that trump has signaled to every corporation in america that they can threaten to offshore jobs in exchange for business-friendly tax benefits and incentives. even corporations that weren't thinking of off-shoring jobs re-evaluating their stance. the statement saying they are getting business incentives from the state. that could be in the form of tax breaks or business opportunities. we're not exactly sure. the details of that. we may get that later today. i did have a chance to talk to a lot of the workers at carrier to get a sense of whether or not this is a good thing for them. they are very excited. and even talking to some employees of other companies. one right up the street. they're losing their jobs to mexico. and they want trump to step in and get involved. here's what one of them said to me yesterday. >> how much credit do you really give him? >> i mean, he -- what he said is happening. whether it's the state, everybody collectively coming together to do it

"the washington post" says it's the richest cabinet in modern history. it's ten times the cabinet, initial cabinet of george w. bush. actually, read this. this is good. >> george w. bush's first cabinet in 2001 is estimated to be the entire cabinet, estimated to have a worth of $250 million. adjusted for inflation, christine. i know you are wondering. that's roughly one-tenth the wealth of trump's commerce secretary nominee. >> so romans, there are people who say look, this is just the swamp, more of the same, lot of goldman people. you make the point these are folks who had a little bit of different world view. >> yeah, they do. these are contrarians, people who see value in the wreckage, people who question the conventional wisdom. wilbur ross is somebody who for years automatically questioned the conventional wisdom. you could argue washington has been about conventional wisdom for a very long time. convexal wntional wisdom that globalization will help more than it hurts. >> these are wall street outliers, not people who are populists. there is a real

the parent company hard, talking about offshore jobs and this morning, in an op-ed in "the washington post" here's what he said. he said trump has endangered the jobs of workers who were previously safe in the united states. he says why, because he has signaled to every corporation in america that they can threaten to offshore jobs in exchange for business friendly tax benefits and incentives. i talked to the workers here at carrier and other companies and quite frankly, they don't really care about like how this happened, how the sausage was made. they care about the results. so they are disagreeing with sanders this morning because they are looking at their own interests. they are looking at their families and what this means to them. i had an opportunity to talk to one of those workers. here's what he said. how much credit do you really give him? >> i mean, what he said is happening so whether it's the state, everybody collectively coming together to do it really doesn't matter. it's being done and it's wonderful. >> reporter: carol, that is john fletcher. he's a new grandfather, h

what do you make, bernie sanders publishes this op-ed in "the washington post" slamming mr. trump's efforts in indianapolis. in the meantime, workers in indianapolis couldn't be happier. >> yeah, carol, so that's a piece that actually ran in my section of "the washington post." "the post" everything section, and i think it's a strong piece by senator sanders showing essentially that he's going to be out there, as the loyal opposition to the way that president-elect trump is doing business. he makes his economic case that this is a way essentially for businesses to hold up the government for tax incentives in order to not shift their jobs overseas. on the other hand as you said, carol, right, there are 1,000 people who according to the details we have so far, are going to have jobs in indiana because of this deal and i think that the administration may be more so governor pence, or vice president-elect pence, as the sitting governor of indiana, more so than maybe president-elect trump himself should be able to take credit for negotiating with the company to stay and provide i

he hopes russia works with washington in fighting terror. putin made the remarks in the address of two chambers of the russian parliament. >> a lot of scrutiny with what russia is doing in syria and prove indicativocations in ukra. >> fascinating. >>> police officer shot and killed in tacoma, washington. right now, the gunman apparently keeping police at bay. we are following the latest on this standoff which continues right now. >>> we are following breaking news from tacoma, washington. a police officer shot and killed and the bearricaded suspect in standoff. police were responding to a domestic violence dispute at the home. and did not make it.ough surgery the authorities describe the scene as active. you see the police presence. there are reports of gunfire from inside the home. we are monitoring and we will br bring you details. >>> protests in charlotte, north carolina after the d.a. decision not to charge officer vinson in the shooting of keith lamont scott. we get more from cnn's brian todd. >> reporter: will and christine. protests

. >> "the washington post" said president-elect trump has only received two classified intelligence briefings since his election and turned down many daily opportunities for briefings. is this true? has he turn down the opportunity to get classified intelligence briefings? >> so he is receiving classified intelligence briefings and the president-elect is receiving information through his personal and on the phone meetings with over what's now 41 world leaders. in addition to meeting with 60 men and women who could serve in his government but certainly without the promise of any formal position -- >> but has he turned down classified briefings? >> i can't discuss that publicly. what i can tell you is that he is the most engaged individual i've ever met and brilliant to boot and he is certainly availing himself of the information as provided to him from a number of source including those intelligence briefings. >> we understand and we know just in recent history president obama, president george w. bush they all as soon as they could received daily intelligence briefings to immerse themselves o

anna novarro, i want to talk to you about the washington post report that says russian propaganda outlets played a rule in these anti-election, i know this is hard to gage. i certainly we heard from a lot of people that believe these accounts, how much do you think it influenced voteders? >> that can be a hard answer to give. how much did it influence voters? did it influence some voters? absolutely. we saw a lot of these fake news pedalled around the internet over and over, particularly in the last few months of this election. we also know because it has been reported that the russians were probably the ones behind the hacking at the dnc. i think that regardless of partisanship, every single american should be right now demanding that congress and our government fully and thoroughly investigate what is going on with these russians. the fact that they have been able penetrate our election system. which is one of the most sacred bastions of american democracy should have all of us demanding action from congress at every level of the u.s. government and that is why it is so important that s

but we have before us the chance now to make history together, to bring real change to washington, real safety to our cities, and real prosperity to our communities, including our inner cities. so important to me and so important to our country. but to succeed, we must enlist the effort of our entire nation. this historic political campaign is now over. but now begins a great national campaign to rebuild our country and restore the full promise of america for all of our people. >> reporter: brianna, that video comes along with the news that we've had today with nikki haley being tapped to go to the united nations. i talked to a trump transition source earlier today, who said that they hope the selection of nikki haley to go to the united nations is a pressure reliever that might help americans deal with this tough election battle over the holiday weekend, because it might reassure americans to see donald trump pick such a harsh critic to serve in his administration. of course, the other shoe that we're waiting to see drop is potentially going to happen after the holiday weekend. that is
