Jim acosta, thank you. Donald trump is tweeting hes seriously considering ben carson. The dr. Carsons spokesman tells cnn the retired neurosurgeon is honored by trumps insistence that they take a cabinet post and will spend the holidays thinking it over. Michelle rhee said she will not be pursuing the role of secretary secretary. The former chancellor of washington, d. C. Public schools she met with trump last week despite heavy criticism from the education community. On tuesday, she tweeted i appreciate my opportunity to share my thoughts on education with the president elect of the united states. Our job as americans is to want him to succeed. Meantime, Jared Kushner revealing he played a pivotal role in the election of his fatherinlaw by setting up a secret data operation. Ku kushner called some friends Silicon Valley. Working to unify fundraising, messages and voter targeting to get the most out of a lean marketing budgets. And it really had to help in battleground areas. If you look at a place like orlando and florida, Hillary Clinton spent 27 million in advertising impaired to trumps 7 million. He ended up doing very well. Also that the New York Times meeting, donald trump says selling his assets to avoid conflicts of interest would be difficult because most are real estate properties. Trump said, quote in theory, i could run my business perfectly and then run the country perfectly. Theres never been a case like this. Federal law does not prohibit the president from Holding Assets that clash with official duties. Trump will be require to disclose what he owns and the debt he holds. Trump tells the New York Times he does is not have to set up a blind trust but turning his businesses over to his kids. He said his brand is better. Boris, record hes for the four major averages, the dow, nasdaq, s p, the small cap russell 2000, highest ever. The dow up 19,000 for the First Time Ever since trump was elected, the dow is up almost 700 points. Markets are not taking his policies on the campaign trail lit really. They think hes going to cut regulation. Hes going to cut taxes. They think theres going to be an infrastructure well talk about the wrinkles in that. They think theres going to be an infrastructure spending. A lot of that has to do with the softening of stances. Well get into that. Lets discuss it with josh rogin, a columnist for the Washington Post. Josh, good morning. Thank you for joining us. We have to talk about this meeting yesterday at the the New York Times. The on, off, on again meeting. Totally unexpected not just because the day before in the offtherecord meeting with tv executives things got pretty nasty. But hes seemed to have softened his stances. I want to point out the list that hes apparently softening. Keeping parts of obamacare which is he vowed to repeal. Wall with mexico. Tense of feet of concrete. Might now be fencing. One thing he said in the debate that he was going to appoint a special prosecutor. Now he says hes not going to prosecute Hillary Clinton. He also said hes going to open up libel laws and Climate Change. Remember, he said that Climate Change was a hoax perpetrated by the chinese. Now, i want to read to you this quote from the New York Times saying, quote, i think there is some connectivity. Some something, it depends on how much. How much it maybe related to man made industry. I have to ask, is this part of some kind of strategy, good cop bad cop, his heated rhetoric, and then he cools down . Is this his way of keeping supporters excited but then tempering the fears of many . First of all, good for the New York Times for sticking to its guns, the Trump Organization tried to move that to an saul offtherecord meeting. They stuck to their guns, they got their on the record meeting, and as a result, we got these quotes from the president elect what about hes going to with american policy. Thats success for the media, rare one these days. As for the total shift in all of these issues, i think it just shows that everything is reset, okay . We cant look to the campaign and get any reliable information about how president elect trump is going to govern, all right . Hes thinking about everything brand new. For example, on Climate Change, yes, we shouldnt necessarily criticize president elect trump for acknowledging something that 99 of scientists acknowledge. That there is some effect of manmade actions on the warming of the climate. Thats a good thing, we should jump the president elect from what he does and said from here on out, not necessarily what he campaigned on. But it just goes to show you that everything is up in the air. If youre making bets on what president ial policy is going to be january 21st, its impossible. Hes literally thinking through these things right now. Let me talk about conflict of interest. Its something that people in the Business World are trying to figure out how donald trump eck t extricates himself from the trump business. He told the New York Times the laws totally on my side. The president cant have a conflict of interest. Well the president can be sanctioned, but it is illegal to take money from foreign governments. What if youre having foreign governments staying in a hotel right down the street from the would you say actually enriching his hotel. The other part of it, fascinating, hes mulling right now who will be the treasury secretary. The treasury secretary will run the department that holds the agency that is currently investigating his taxes understand audit. Theres so much there. Weve just never seen Something Like this. Right, i think all the signs weve seen since the election are negative, as it pertains to Donald Trumps view of how he should handle these very serious conflicts of interest. I mean, in addition to the examples that you just gave, he also admitted to the New York Times that he spoke with british politician nigel farage. He kind of admitted it offhand. All right. I guess i kind of mentioned it. So, what were seeing is an unprecedented statement by a president elect that not only does he is not intend to remove any perception of conflict of interest by selling all of his assets and putting them in a blind trust and relinquishing any knowledge of how that blind trust is managed, hes not going to acknowledge that this conflict exists. Of course, it exists. Hes technically right that its not a legal requirement for the president to dissolve the conflicts of interest. Right. But most ethics, most morals, most good practices are not enshrined in laws. Theyre just things that people to to reassure the public that theyre not profiting offer of their power. And donald trump has no intention of doing any of that. And thats troubling to a lot of us. I want to ask you about infrastructure. 20 million in infrastructure plan. People saying i dont know devils its in details. Always in the details. Trump says hes into deals, not necessarily details. The people doing the details in the cabinets and how that shakes out. Come back soon, okay. So many questions, thanks. A group of top computer scientists are urging Hillary Clinton to demand a recount. Computer experts found evidence that vote totals in wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania may have been hacked. They say clinton performed 7 worse in counties that used electronic bo iic voting than c that used paper ballots. They say the pattern needs to be investigated.

There are six that are in critical condition. The focus there are trying to heal what are very severe spinal cord as well as possible head injuries. There were a lot of children when they came in. One of the thing that was unexpected was the fact that they were so young. They had no way to identify them. And many of these children couldnt say who they were, and didnt even know their telephone numbers. How did they reunite them . Parents came in with photographs. Most of them carry them on their cell phones. That worked out well. Thats enough of the photographs they were able to match them up with the photographs that parents have. Until one poignant moment when they realized there were parents showing up with photographs that children were not back in the e. R. Vice President Joe Biden is shooting down the idea of becoming chairman of the dnc. He said hes not interested but does plan to remain deeply involved in the reshaping of the democratic party.

You how trump seems to be softening his stance on Climate Change and Hillary Clinton. And could Hillary Clinton have grounds for a recount . A curious pattern discovered in three key states won by donald trump. Welcome back to early start. Im boris sanchez. Im christine romans. Its 31 minutes past the hour. Donald trump making history. Well start with this, in the stock market, hitting new heights this morning. The Dow Jones Industrials up 19,000. Up 9 . A stunning 3 rally almost 700 points since trump was elected. The s p and the small cap russell 2000, why . Theyre looking for big cuts in regulation, in taxes, spending on infrastructure. More games ahead. Stock markets in europe and asia are mixed right now. The u. S. Stock market closed tomorrow for thanksgiving. But futures are looking bright right now. Investors think trump will spend it on infrastructure, cut taxes, all of that will likely lead to higher interest rates. The trump transition team, theyre scheduled to hold a Conference Call with reporters today. Were also said to be hearing from the president elect himself. Trump flew to florida after a wide ranging sit join with the New York Times reporters, columnists and editors. Its raising eyebrows. Trump backing off his promise to prosecute Hillary Clinton. This, as sources tell cnn, that mitt romney is thinking hard about taking the job as skts, of course if trump should offer it to him. Lets bring in Cnns Jim Acosta for the latest. Boris and christine, cnn has learned mitt romney is seriously considering the possibility of joining Donald Trump Administration as secretary of state of state. A source familiar with transition discussion says its likely the 2012 republican nominee will be consulting with his family over the thanksgiving holiday weekend. A decision to select romney would send a message that trump is open to moderating his decision. Trump himself would reveal hes open to toning down his position on a wide ranging interview with the New York Times. The president elect told the times, hes urging against the prosecution of Hillary Clinton. And top advisers say its a signal trump is ready to move on. Look, theres tradition in american politics that after you win an election, you sort of put things behind eye, if thats the decision he reached, thats perfectly consistent with sort of an historical pattern of things come up. We say a lot of things. Even some bad things might happen. And then you can sort of put it behind you in order to unite the nation. As for the prospect of romney joining the Trump Administration sources say a decision is not expected until next week. Boris and christine. A lot to mull over. Dr. Carsons spokesman tells cnn the retired neurosurgeon is honored by trumps insistence that he take a cabinet post and will spend the holidays thinking it over. Were also told dr. Carson made it clearly would prefer to advise trump from outside the administration. Meantime, another cabinet post, potential candidate backing away, Michelle Rhee said she will not be pursuing the role of education in the Trump Administration. She met with him last week despite heavy criticism from the education community. On tuesday she tweeted i have appreciated the opportunity to share my thoughts on education with the president elect of united states. Our job as americans is to want him to succeed. The Trump Foundation admitting violating irs rules bill improperly giving money to someone close to the organization. Thats according to a recent income tax filing obtained by cnn and the nonprofit guidestar. On this return, the foundation checked a yes box when asked does the foundation transfer any income or assets to a disqualified person or make any available for the benefit or use of a disqualified person. That disqualified person is irs speak for someone of significant influence over the organization or someone related to those people. The filing did not disclose who that was. Meantime, some fascinating revelations from Jared Kushner. Hes revealing that he played a pivotal role in the stunning election ever his fatherinlaw by setting up a sophisticated secret data operation. Kushner called some friends from Silicon Valley and they helped him develop a social mediaia micro targeting strategy. That included working to target fundraising and targeting, with the lean budgets when weve been talking about how much the Trump Campaign was sending compared to Hillary Clinton. A lot of people supposedly in the know said he needs to spend more on tv ads. Lets discuss is it with josh rogin from the Washington Post. We talked to you about half an hour ago about the headlines. I wanted to go quickly to the infrastructure. 1 trillion. Donald trump talking about tax breaks, 137 billion in tax breaks to entice the private sector to help fund a big line of infrastructure needs here. What do you make of the criticism starting to emerge about the infrastructure plan. Criticism from ceos, 4. 9 unemployment. They might not have the workers. They might not actually have the money they need to do this. What are you hearing . Right. Well, i think this is complained best by ron mcclain from the Washington Post who simply laid out trumps infrastructure plan and showed how its different from what people think as an infrastructure. This is what we saw in the build america time during the early Obama Administration. Basically what you have say difference of starting new programs or tax breaks for ceos involved in existing projects. And the question is will trumps plan actually spur brand new jobs . Or will it simply alleviate the burden for companies and ceos who are already involved in projects ongoing . Thats a debatable question. Overall, the infrastructure has held up the one rare opportunity where the Trump Administration and democrats can work together. Theres a lot of bipartisan sort of enthusiasm, although not really among some republicans. Some experts say he should work on it partly because there is that bipartisan feeling there. Josh, we have to ask you about mr. Softy. Have you seen the cover of the daily news. The Trump Campaign backpedals, obviously, the New York Times hosting an ontherecord interview. Hes talking to the New York Times on the record in seemingly congenial terms after saying so many disparaging things about him on the campaign trail. And lets put it up, first, now, hes keeping parts of obamacare after saying he would repeal it on day one. The wall that hes talked about the entire campaign might be fencing. He backpedal on what he said in the debate about appointing a special prosecutor. He said hes not going to prosecute Hillary Clinton. Hes not considering opening up libel laws. And a fascinating one, hes opening up his mind on Climate Change. This after saying its a hoax perpetrated by the chinese. I want to read you a quote with a sitdown with the New York Times yesterday in which he talked about the relationship between humans and he writes, quote, i think there is some connectivity. Some something. Some depends on how much. Josh, what is going on here . This seems like a completely different person from the guy we saw on the campaign trail . Thats exactly right. First of all, we should allow president elect trump to switch from campaigning to governing. Its not necessarily a bad thing for him to get into office, agency as president obama predicted learn the issues and find a way to govern that can really maybe even perhaps unite the country. Shou so, we shouldnt be critical. At the same time, he says whatever he thinks the person sitting in front of him wants to hear. Hes tweeting about the New York Times. And then oh, you guys are great. Id love to work with you. If donald trump appoints mitt romney to be secretary of state. Thats a guy who is pretty tough on russia. Does that mean donald trump will abandon his idea to be cozy with Vladimir Putin . Potentially, right. First, they have to get together. Then they have to decide what the policies are going to be. Its a blank slate. Theyre going to start from now. And anythings possible. Uncharted territory. Absolutely. You look at markets from around the world, for example, theyre assuming that donald trump is not going to do to them which would be the scariest parts of their agenda and cut taxes and slash regulations. Theyre assuming those will be the priorities of this administration . Yeah, and i think there is some confidence that there will be probusiness, especially for Small Business policies. At the same time, if he really does start a trade cwar with china, thats going to have the opposite. Right now, its looking good, at least better than we thought it would on november 7th. But unless we get these policies, its really hard to game it out and figure out what they should do. The bonds market is bigger. The bond market is telling me youre going to have inflation and growth. The big top about tpp. China stepping in now in the void of the united states. China actually strengthening its grip in that region. That would be a big challenge for business and this president elect for sure. Josh rogin thank you for joining us. Happy thanksgiving. We wish we had you for another 40 minutes. Thank you. A group of top computer scientists urging Hillary Clinton to demand a recount. Computer experts say they have found evidence that votes may have been hacked in wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania. The scientists have told the Clinton Campaign officials they have not found evidence that proves hacking. But this pattern is concerning to them. They say the pattern needs to be investigated. Clinton would have to take all three of those states to change the results of the election. The deadline to file for a recount in wisconsin is friday. Weve been following this tragic story out of tennessee learning new details that are disheartening. Five children killed in a school bus crash. New questions this morning about the man who is behind the wheel. Should he have been driving that bus . Thats next on early start. Grief and, frankly, anger gripping the city of chattanooga this morning. Tears were flowing last night at a vigil for five young kids killed in a gruesome bus crash. Mourners paid tribute with releasing dozens of balloons in the sky. Neighbors and friends trying to make sense of an unimaginable tragedy. We get more from cnns martin savidge. Good morning, good morning, christine. Investigators will be going over the crash site itself trying to determine not just what happened, but also why it happened. A lot of the focus of their investigation is on the bus driver, 24yearold johnthony walker. It turned out he only had this commercial drivers license since april. And was involved in a crash as recently as september. Hes continuing to cooperate with authorities and another facet here. And that is the treatment of those children still injured.

Them the children couldnt say who they were, what their telephone numbers were. How did they reunite them . Parents came in with photographs. Most of them carry them on their cell phones. That worked out well. Thats enough of the photographs that parents have. Until one poignant moment. When they realize there were parents showing up with photographs that children were not back in the e. R. Boris and christine. Martin savidge, just a terrible story. President obama has reduced the sentence of 79 more federal prisoners. This now marks his 1,000th commutation for harsh sentences. The president hopes to bring existing sentences more in line with current, shorter existing guidelines for nonviolent drug crimes. Lets take a look at whats coming up on new day. The quiz kwchris cuomo joins us. Happy thanksgiving eve to you. There is no tragic news, im grateful to work with smart and good people like you and christine. What about cammarata . I tell alisyn how beautiful and grateful i am ever morning. Dont worry, christine. Were going to have more on Donald Trumps sitdown by the New York Times. This was interesting because this is on the record. Thats the way the times does. Tv executives, that was leaked out with a bunch of reporters in the room. Interesting insight he gave to the times. For those like you at home in terms of curiosity, but interesting to hear what he opposes and in favor of. Were getting a lot of buzz about the prosecution of Hillary Clinton. Wed all be speculating during the election itself he wouldnt make good on that promise. Its too hard to do and its of too little benefit to him. Another big issue would be trumps conflict of business. And whether or not he is getting the chance that he won in the election, is the coverage of him so far fair . Well get all of it as people are trying to get away for thanksgiving. What its like on the road, and travel in general. Thats what weve got. Just sort of trying to untangle this bowl of spaghetti that are his deal of business deals. 150 in countries. Thats why we need you, christine. Hes about to appoint the person that is going to run the department that has the agency investigating his own taxes. Thats remarkable. Chris cuomo, were thankful for you. Tell your mother, were thankful for her. Happyin happy thanksgiving. What dow 19,000 means for your money, thats next. Vice President Joe Biden shooting down the idea of becoming chairman of the dnc. His Spokesman Says hes not interested. Although, he does plan to remain deeply involved in the reshaping of the democratic party. An election will be held in spring secede interim chairman donna brazile. Meantime, president obama getting set to carry out a classic white house tradition. One final time. His eighth and final thanksgiving pardon. He will commute the execution sentence for one of two birds named tater and tot. Both were born on the same day. There can be no accusations of ages. Neither will end up on your thanksgiving table. Both birds will be sent to their new home at Virginia Tech where their minor celebrity status will get them tended to for life with grasshoppers and massages. From turkeys to bowls. Donald trump making history in the stock market. The doe jones industrial average above 19,000 for the First Time Ever. Its psychological but the gains are for real. The dow is up 9 this year. Up 3 since trump was elected. About 700 points of a trump rally. The nasdaq and s p 500 record highs there. The russell 2000, small caps, record highs there. We could see records again today. Futures were up, just slightly lower. Stock markets in europe and asia are mixed. And the markets are closed tomorrow so you could see investors around the world take a beat. Millions of workers are about to get a raise thanks to new overtime rules passed by the white house. Not anymore. Or at least the hold button has been pressed on that. A federal judge in texas suspended that rule from going into effect. This is a blow to the president. The ruling findings the Obama Administration overreached its Legal Authority by hiking the limits so significantly. Heres what would have happened on december 1st. The salary threshold to be eligible for overtime is going from 445 a week to 913 a week. About 23,000 a year to 47,500. This injunction is temporary until a judge comes to a final decision. Essentially people working in relatively retail jobs, they can get clerical duties and become a manager theyre exempt from overtime. The president want to change that. The housing market, one of the hottest right now. Existing home sales grew 2 in october. The highest rate in nearly a decade. The average price of a home 232,200. Thats up 6 over last year. The strengthening labor market is helping buyers afford the prices. Firsttime home buyers are key. That segment has been increasing in recent months. And now counts for a third of all home sales. That is a really important bright spot. Housing, stock market, labor market, all improving here in sync. We all saw this coming. Thats early start, im christine romans. And im boris sanchez. The president elect pilots back. Declared its not possible for the president to have a conflict of interest. Hes going above and beyond what the law requires. Hes going to make sure it is involved and the way he governs. With all of the things that donald trump said about how crooked she was that we just dont let it go. I dont want to hurt them. Theyre good people. After you win an election, you sort of put things behind you. Mitt romney is seriously considering the possibility of being secretary of state. It would be great. 20 other people are more compatible with the trump vision. Announcer this is new day with chris good morning. Up first, president elect donald trump facing real questions from the media and backing off some of his most extreme Campaign Promises. Trump now dropping his threat to jail Hillary Clinton and also changing his tune on waterboarding and maybe even Climate Change. All of this in this big interview with the New York Times. Mr. Trump also addressing hotbutton issues like denouncing support from the hate groups, as well as conflicts of interest. The president elect is now in florida for the thanksgiving holiday, but were told we could get more cabinet announcements as early as this morning. Lets begin with sarah murray. Good morning. Youre right. Donald trump is showing more flexibility on promises that were calling cards during his president ial campaign. Support he is getting from White Supremaci supremacists. He doesnt want to be the candidate energizing these groups. President elect now suggesting he wont push for Hillary Clinton to be prosecuted over her private email server or dealings within the clinton foundation. In an interview with the New York Times trump saying i dont want to hurt the clintons. I really dont. She went through a lot and suffered greatly in many different ways. While it may be up to Trumps Justice Department to make the final call on the matter, the tone is a sharp departure from the one he struck on the trail. She deleted the emails. She
