Also with the children living with their parents for an reporter youre going to keep that . Were going to very much try to keep that. It adds cost, but its very much something were going to try to keep. Reporter and theres going to be a period if you repeal it and before you replace it when millions of people no, were going to do it simultaneously. It will be just fine. Thats what i do. I do a good job. Yo you know, i know how to do this stuff. Were going to repeal it and replace it. Were not going to have, like, a twoday period, and were not going to have a twoyear period where theres nothing. It will be repealed and replaced and well know. And it will be Great Health Care for much less money. Pelley mr. Trump also spoke about the phone call that essentially ended the election. Reporter hillary called you. Tell us about that phone call. So, hillary called, and it was a lovely call, and it was aa tough call for her. I mean, i can imagine. Tougher for her than it would have been for me, and for me it would have been very very difficult. She couldnt have been nicer. She just said, congratulations, donald.

Pence served six terms in the house and was a prominent member of the republican governors association, giving him nationwide g. O. P. Ties that could calm skeptics of mr. Trumps antiestablishment agenda. To all republicans and democrats and independents across this nation, i say it is time for us to come together as one united people. Reporter pence replaces new jersey governor chris christie, who reluctantly accepted a demotion. Mr. Trump also added his three children and soninlaw jared kushner, along with Republican NationalCommittee Chairman reince priebus, who is making a strong play for white house chief of staff. Reince is a superstar. Recommendations to the president elect. Some top contenders like Rudy Giuliani for attorney general, may spark alarm given his incendiary campaign rhetoric. Here is the simple fact theyre crooks. Reporter others, like texas congressman Jeb Hensarling for treasury secretary would appeare slightly more conventional. Former bushera ambassador to the United Nations john bolton is vying for secretary of state, or National Security adviser, along with retired Lieutenant General michael flynn. And alabama senator Jeff Sessions is the leading candidate for defense secretary. I very much look forward to dealing with the president in the future. Reporter mr. Trump has stressed unity in his public appearances since the election, but he sent conflicting messages on twitter. Heyhey. R reporter he decried those demonstrating against his election as professional protesters incited by the media and said they were, very unfair. Reversed himself, writing, love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country. We will all come together and be proud. Mr. Trump may soften the blow of christies demotion with a position such as secretary of Homeland Security or attorney general. Scott, mr. Trumps Transition Team is behind schedule because during the campaign he refused to discuss their work or raise the money for the needed staff. Pelley Major Garrett at thee white house for us tonight. Us major, thank you. Been going on for three nights now in a number of cities. Anna werner is in portland,po oregon. We are here for love. We are not here to spread hate. Reporter what had been a peaceful gathering of more than 4,000 in portland, oregon, turned into what Police Called a riot just after midnight, as protesters smashed windows and threw objects. Across the country, people of all ages, all races gathered in cities to protest against the president elect, from baltimore. He is a dangerous man. Hes a dangerous person to haved in the white house. Reporter . To milwaukee. Weve got to start someplace and do something. Im terrified. Im scared. Reporter and los angeles. I just think hes hateful and a misogynist and racist and i think hes going to gut everything good about th done. What are you doing to this woman reporter there were vice violent clashes in houston as reporter there were violent clashes in houston as well. No trump, no trump. Reporter and a raucous protest in new orleans, though, some, like steve wood, say its too soon to complain. It happened. Its been acknowledged, all the all were parties to it, including our president , recognize it. Reporter portlands mayorft called the rioting that left broken windows at these businesses unacceptable. Or hope will be peaceful. Pelley it does make you wonder how many of those people bothered to vote. Anna werner, thanks very much. A fuse has been lit by incendiary words that we havent heard before in politics. Jim axelrod is following where that fuse leads so far. He reporter three days later, the state of the union is raw. You voted trump yeah reporter in chicago, this white man was beaten after a African Americans in another car. Beat his bleep . Dont vote trump dont vote trump reporter in the background, people celebrate a trump votereb getting pummeled. Theres plenty of nastiness to go around. s thats build the wall these middle schoolers are chanting in royal oak, michigan, leaving latino students in tears. White power reporter and a call of white power while students hold a a school in york, pennsylvania. Online, the accounts are piling up. Swastikas in philadelphia, familiar sexist vulgarities in college station, texas. Gay families burn in hell, in north carolina. And whitesonly may be the least offensive thing written on a door in a school in maple grove, minnesota, the one where ateh ndip is a junior. Fred ndip, who moved his family here from cameroon, is his dad. I was shocked. I was upset. I was angry. At but i also felt that i had to protect my son. Reporter so far, the president elect has offered up this in a tweet we will all come together and be proud. And then this afternoon, in an interview with the wall street journal, i want a country that loves each other, adding the best way to ease tensions would be to bring in jobs. When asked if his rhetoric had gone too far in the campaign, he answered, no, i won. Found, maybe its in durham, north carolina, where the graffiti written after the election, black lives dont matter, and neither does your vote, got a good scrubbing by david young, among others. Its only intention is to be bothersome, its not to uplift. Its not to make better, and thats what we need right now. Reporter again, consider this from the sometimes incendiary realm of social media. The twitter hashtag killtrump. Its hard to say m included it, but certainly, scott, they number in the hundreds. Pelley, of course, its a o felony to threaten the president. Jim axelrod, an eyeopening report. Thank you very much. Hillary clinton lost because more than two million democrats who voted for president obama last time, were noshows on tuesday. Wisconsin is a Democratic State that flipped. In 2012, obama beat mitt romney by seven points there, but this time, trump edged clinton. Reporter a chrysler engine plant used to stand on this lotn in kenosha, wisconsin. Six years ago it was shut down, and today, it is a barren field. At a nearby bar jamie sabena says plant workers used to come here in droves. Hoping for a return to the good old days, she voted for donald trump. Do you hope he can bring plants like that back . Yes, i do. I hope we can get some type of factory work back here to bring back what we used to have in kenosha. Reporter and you think donald trump can do that . I hope so, yes. Reporter youre not sure, but you hope . I hope so. Reporter four years ago, president obama won by 12 points in kenosha county. In this time mr. Trump eked out a victory by a fraction of a point. Mr. Trump won noncollege white voters by 28 points. Four years ago, mitt romney won them by only eight points. Pollster Charles Franklin of Marquette University law has been keeping track of wisconsin voting patterns for years. I think fundamentally he broke through with groups of voters that republicans had not managed to win or mobilize enough in previous elections. Reporter franklin says another big factor in president s elect trumps surprising wisconsin victory is that many democratic voters simply stayed home. In milwaukee county, secretary clinton got almost 50,000 fewer votes than president obama in 2012. The Clinton Campaign was supposed to be great at Field Operations and getoutthevotet they werent able to pull that off. Reporter franklin says another reason all the pollsters got it wrong is that 16 of wisconsin voters made up their minds in the very last week before election day. And, scott, they broke for mr. Trump by about two to one. Pelley chip reid for us tonight. Le chip, thanks.
