I do a good job. 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 It will be repealed and replaced and well know.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 a tough call for her. I mean, i can imagine.

Mr. Trump shook up his Transition Team today. Mike pence takes the helm, Chris Christie takes a seat outside the inner circle. Heres Major Garrett. cheers and applause reporter naming Vice President elect mike pence to the top transition post is designed to reassure congressional republicans. 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 National commit chairman reince priebus, who is making a strong play for white house chief of staff. Reince is a superstar. Reporter pence will make all final cabinet secretary recommendationes 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 appear slightly more conventional. 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. Reporter he decried those demonstrating against his election as professional protesters incite the by the media and said they were, very unfair. Nine hours later mr. Trump 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 the white house for us tonight. Major, thank you. Those antitrump protests have been going on for three nights now in a number of cities. Anna werner is in portland, 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. Police arrested 26 people. 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 have in the white house. Reporter . To milwaukee. We gotta 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 this country, everything obamas done. What are you doing to this woman reporter there were Vice President 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 th the all were parties to it, including our president , recognize it. Reporter portlands mayor called the rioting that left broken windows at these businesses unacceptable. Another march is planned for tonight, scott, one organizers 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. 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 traffic dispute with some African Americans in another car. Beat his bleep . Dont vote trump reporter in the background, people celebrate a trump voter getting pummeled. Theres plenty of nastiness to go around. 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 trumppence sign in the halls of 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. Anand and whitesonly may be the least offensive thing written on a door in a hool in minnesota 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. 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 woi wall stt 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. If thrais hopeful sign to be found, maybe eits 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 not to uplift. Reporter again, consider this from the sometimes incendiary realm of social media. The twitter hashtag killtrump. Its hard to say how many tweets included it, but certainly, scott, they number in the hundreds. Pelley, of course, its a felony to threaten the president. Jim axelrod, thank you very much. Hillary clinton lost because more than two million democrats who vote forward 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. Chip reid is in wisconsin. Reporter a chrysler engine plant used to stand on this lot in kenosha, wisconsin. Six years ago it was shut down, and today, it is a baron field. At a nearby bar seb 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 point in kenosha county. 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 point. Charles franklin of Marquette University law has been keeping track of wisconsin voting patterns for years. Why did trump win . 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 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 getoutthevote efforts. 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. Chip, thanks.

What if the next spat is worse . And we didnt have the box . Then what . Reporter so it sat on the top shelf of the kitchen pantry through all the arguments about dishes left undone, through stress and slamming doors. Even when they thought it wasnt worth it anymore, brandon and cathy refused to surrender to that last wedding present. They finally opened the gift just recently, not because they were fighting, but because they werent, and hadnt for quite some time. After nine years of successfully resolving their differences, brandon and kathy were confident they would never really need the contents. What they found was remarkably unremarkable. Some money for some flowers and wine, some battle salts, nothing that could really stop a fight at all. And thats when it hit them that the real gift wasnt anything in the box. Come on, buddy reporter that the real gift, the priceless gift, had been staring at them all along. Everything we needed we had between us. We just had to figure it out on our own. Reporter by not turning to the box, brandon and kathy say they were forced to learn tolerance, compromise, and patience, something we could all use more of this week because theres nothing magical about wedding gifts or ballot boxes.
