It doesnt go quickly. Unfortunately. We have before us the chance now to make history together. To bring real change to washington and 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. To succeed, we knew evmust enli effort of the country. Reporter the Trump Transition Team saying this is a down day for the president elect and family. Do not expect anymore cabinet announcements. If that is to come, it will happen friday or after the holiday. Jason in maralago. The Washington Post reporting an Intelligence Team has prepared to brief trump every day since the election. He met them just twice. A briefer for george w. Bush says it is a pace less frequent, but not unprecedented. Mike pence has taken the briefings every day since the election. Joining us this morning to assess the transition. Best selling author Ellis Henican. Happy thanksgiving. Lets talk about the appoin appointments of nikki haley and betsy devos. Lets talk about haley. She criticized trump during the campaign. Here is a taste of that from january. During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angry voices. We must resist that temptation. No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country. She came out strongly against donald trump. And she supported marco rubio. Mitt romney came out against donald trump. He is now considered for the secretary of state. Are these surprising . It is a mixed message. Loyalty matters. Some of the picks that have been fiercely loyal to donald trump. You are right. Few in there that took shock. Mitt romney just about ran the antiTrump Campaign. I think that does send a little bit of a message. You were surprised by the inexperience. Experience is not necessary in this group. Listen, they are all people who achieved things in their lives. You talk about nikki haley, she has no diplomatic experience. Governor of South Carolina. Betsy devos never served in government. Mitt romney despite his career, is not someone who has ever gdoe anything in the diplomatic world. Trump ran on the idea we dont need all of the washington insiders. We are getting some. Lets talk about betsy devos. She will run the education department. The focus of the Obama Education Department is really try fix Public Schools and reward schools doing well and make sure that just because you have a different zip code doesnt mean you have a different education or quality of education. That is the focus of the Public School education. This is someone who is not a supporter of common core. That is a state effort to raise standards. Im not a support. It got turned in a federal boondoggle. She is an activist for choice. It is interesting. I think most people believe in some kind of School Choice. The nervousness begins when you take resources away and privatizing. Betsy and her family have been funders of that issue. She has been an activist. Some call her antipublic education. The meeting with the new york times. Fascinating. The portion where donald trump comes out and says heres the quote. The law is totally on my side. The president cannot have a conflict of interest. This is pertaining to questions about his connections to so many business entities across the world. Here is a quick glance. He has 16 connections in india. 16 corporate entities. 13 in the uae. 12 in canada. Look at that map. Diverse. How is it possible for him to say that this is not a conflict of interest . He is literally an empire on to himself. Right. In many ways, you say it is the definition of the conflict. Two quick thoughts. One, it is correct the president is exempt from some of those specific prohibitions that apply to others in government. There is the other thing we are focusing on. The clause of the constitution. I vaguely heard of it, but never paid attention. All of a sudden, we are in a laser beam. It says that all officials, including the president , cannot take any gifts or anything like a gift from a foreign government. Now, if trump has a hotel in mumbai and they get a zoning varianou various variance. What does that mean . Donald trump did not go this far in the interview. He said you knew this when you voted me in. This was baked in. This was baked in the vote. You knew it would be sticky. Im going to let my family handle the business side. Christine, you are right with the ardent trump supporters. Let me tell you, it may surprise you. He has opponents waiting out there and they are looking for stuff. I will tell you if hillarys email and Foundation Came to haunt her. This is not done. There is a Legal Standard and tradition and the public trust. Those are two separate, but related things. You may meet a Legal Standard. Every single issue. Whether the blind trust for putting the kids in charge of the trust. How blind is it in junior is running it . The law may not provide real clear guidance. Already the clear gray area we are seeing mixed in. The pictures of Ivanka Donald trump with shinzo abe. There wasnt pool press coverage of that. Dont worry. Jared kushner is going to take care of the meet. Something going on in the middle east . I dont know. Overnight, a campaign to change the outcome of the election. It announced it raised 2 million for a recount in three stree states. Jill steins team brought this up in wisconsin, pennsylvania and michigan. They found evidence that suggests the electronic voting systems in that state may have been hacked. In the meantime, the Hillary Clinton popular vote reaching new heights.

According to a report, donald trump has been skipping most of the daily Intelligence Briefings that have been prepared for him. The Washington Post reporting an Intelligence Team is prepared to brief trump every day since the election. He only met them twice. A briefer says it is not unprecedented. Vice president elect mike pence has taken them every day. Joining us to talk about this so far is Ellis Henican and greg valliere. Good morning, gentlemen. Greg, lets bring you into the thanksgiving day conversation. Thanks for getting up early for us. Lets talk about the picks. We saw nikki haley and betsy devos. What do you make of the choices . Some will get a tough grill from the senate. Especially betsy devos. Her record on School Choice is controversial. Why do you say this is controversy . He promised to drain the swamp and bring in an outsider and who wants more choice. Something that maybe Public School teachers are not thrilled about. This is what he promised. It is what he promised. You are right. There are a lot of teachers who are oopposed. I think others will get a tough grilling. My guess is everyone will make it through. Ellis, over to you. We talked about the appointments. Something you said that stuck out. This is the no speciexperience cabinet. What will it take to change the perception that he is picking loyalists and going after people that are not as versed . One word. Results. Honestly, listen. These things have a certain rhythm. The republicans who are now gathering around the president elect by and large will be supportive of the nominations. Dems are lining up without the power to do much about most of them. Honestly, we will get most of them. There may be one or two that cause controversy. You know what . Go did something. Betsy, go achieve something. Thats something that greg has said many times. Greg, you said this is a president elect who is interested in deals, not details. Maybe that is why you are seeing Vice President elect mike pence going to the briefings. Lets talk about his conflicts of interest. This is not going away. Questions of how donald trump will run the country and also be the name behind his empire. We have shown where his Business Empire is around the world. He has stakes around the country. He has said, he told the new york times, the president cannot have a conflict of interest. Is this a problem or he won . People knew he had a brand all over the world and they accept it. It could be a huge deal with the democrats. You have to say that trump had a good week with the comments on hillary and showing he could maybe evolve into somebody a bit more moderate. On this issue, christine, i think it could make the Clinton Foundation look tame by comparison. If he thinks he is skirt the ethics laws or ignore the ethics laws, that will come back to bite him. It is interesting to see his approach. Ellis, we are waiting to see about the secretary of state candidate. Internally. Very hard fought. Very surprising considering how mitt romney went after donald trump in the campaign. I want to play sound from Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee yesterday on fox news saying they are not exactly fond of the potential pick. Here it is. I will support whoever president elect donald trump picks because he has the right as the new president to build the team he wants to build. I would suggest there are other people who are more qualified than romney in Foreign Policy and also have not been as actively hostile. It is not that i dont care for mitt personally. Im unhappy that mitt did everything he could to derail donald trump. He did not go after him from the point of saying i disagree with the policy on immigration or disagree with the policy on taxes. He attacked him on character and integrity and honor. Different points why you not pick romney. It looks like we will find out next week. How will this shake out . This is the battle for the soul of the trump administration. Romney versus giuliani. You could not have a starker choice, boris. One guy who is very well connected with the establishment and moderate personality. Credibili credibility. Rudy is a puncher. Total loyalist. Super loyal. Not any particular experience. And a lot of business complications. Really this is the toughest choice. Now you see the allies lining up. Sometimes that can back fire. Battle for the soul of the trump team identity. Over the top . Over the top, greg . No, i agree. I would add one more point. Russia. A big difference on russia. You have in mitt romney someone who takes a very hard line. If it is giuliani or somebody closer to trump, maybe not. Thats a huge angle. Greg, stocks up 9 this year. Added since donald trump won the election. Home sales with the biggest gain since october. 1. 8 million new jobs. Gdp at 2. 9 . Donald trump inherited an economy of a tail wind. He has an economy that is looking good right now and he can make it very good. There is one possible snag. If Interest Rates rocket higher. You can see heigigher rates. You assume he will not have a trade war with china or soften on some immigration. You assume what the markets found scary of the Trump Campaign wont happen. This week was significant. You saw some real signs that trump is flexible. He wont maybe take the most radical position on the Federal Reserve and on china. Greg, nice to see you. Ellis, thank you. Thanks for coming in. Overnight, a campaign to change the outcome of the election. Announced it raised more than 2 million for a recount in three states. Jill stein launched that effort in the wake of the report that some computer scientists are urging the Clinton Campaign to demand a recount in wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania. These scientists have found evidence that suggests, but doesnt prove electronic voting systems in the states ma hay ha been hacked. Clintons National Vote count exceeds Donald Trumps by 2 million votes. She is ahead of trump by 1. 8 million votes. Time for a check of the money this morning. Thanksgiving is taking stock. Lets take stock of the tail winds. Donald trump has plenty to be thankful for. You can see the stock market. That is helping the 401 k . The existing home sales up 2 insuran since october. 1. 8 million new jobs created this year. 18 180,000 a month. Economic growth picking up 2. 9 last year. All this Economic Growth means Mortgage Rates are above 4 . Trump has a Solid Foundation to build on. He has to address the economic anxiety that pushed people to vote for him. I think greg is right about the fed. We are expecting the fed to raise rates. How quickly will the fed raise rates as rates go up . That can pinch the Housing Market a bit. It means you are paying more for credit cards and auto loans. The fed has been saying look. You need to have congress doing more. Washington doing more to promote growth. It looks like donald trump will do that. They have been talking about raising rates for a long time. I think it will happen. We are following tough news for the city of chattanooga.

Ivanka trump trying to put space between her company and father. In her blog post, our companys mission is not political. It never was. It never will be.
