Thats how did democracy works. Growing backlash over trumps choice for chief strategists. Lies. President obama says lets give this guy a chance. You should be ashamed of yourself that youre justifying what hes about. Political correctness has taken a huge blow to equate that to antisemitic or racist is absurd.

Award winning journal sift gwen ifill has died. I wont say goodbye. Because goodbyes are so hard but i will say so long and thank you.

The moon is worried and wants to know what the hell is going on down here [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] announcer this mornings eye opener is presented by toyota toyota, lets go places. Captioning funded by cbs gets serious and tells cbs news that former new york city mayor Rudy Giuliani is now his number one choice for secretary of state. John bolton u. S. Ambassador under george w. Bush is also in the running. Favoring the uproar of the ceo steve bannon to be strategist. Major garrett is at the white house, he takes a look at the names well all be talking about today, major, good morning. Good morning, president elect donald trump values loyalty above any and all considerations. Hes about to make an announcement for treasury secretary and secretary of state. The nominations for those. And the top contenders, longer on loyalty than experience. First of all, i want the attorney general reporter former mayor Rudy Giuliani is now seen to be president elect Donald Trumps top pick for secretary of state. His main competition, former u. N. Ambassador john bolton. John would be a good choice. Anybody better . Maybe me. Reporter bolton a hardright hawk on defense has advised several republican administrations. Bolton wrote last year the only way to stop Irans Nuclear program was to bomb iran. A lot of hard work going on upstairs. Reporter campaign mns chairman Steve Mnunchin visited ved and is recommended as treasury secretary. Goldman sachs and democratic fundraiser, mnunchin is favored as one of trumps top campaign officials. Mnunchin said this when asked by charlie rose if he would be treasury secretary. Id be honored to serve this country and serve donald trump in any role that he wants me in. Reporter president obama who knows plenty about white house power and personnel would not echo criticism of Steve Bannons appointment as a top whiter white house aide. Bannon standed criticized as being antisemitic. It will be up to him to set up a team that will serve him well. Reporter mr. Obama had this to say federal government and our democracy is not a speed boat. Its an ocean liner, as i discovered when i came into office. President elect has already taken calls from several heads of state, among them russian president Vladimir Putin during that call, he said he hoped to forge a strong relationship between the russian people and its government. And cbs news has learned mr. Trumps Transition Team is exploring how some of his kids could get top secret security clearances. The potential move is raising some ethical concerns. Julianna goldman broke this story and is in washington with what shes learned. Juliana, good morning. Reporter good morning, the sources tells that you the president elect donald trump Transition Team is looking to designate some of his Adult Children as National Security advisers that they be able to receive the top secret security clearances. Now, even if it doesnt happen during the transition, trump would still be able to put in the request once he becomes president. Looking at the rules here. Th they nepotism rules prevent them from working in the white house but not to serve as unpaid or advisers. To put this in perspective, its common for private citizens to get top secret security clearances, but family members are a totally different story. Former intelligence and white house Officials Say trumps request is truly unprecedented, given that his kids dont have National Security backgrounds. Now ethics watchdogs are also sounding alarms, though. They say the fact that trump wants his Children Armed with access to some of the nations top secrets raises more questions about the conflicts of interest playing roles in the Trump Administration while also running the Family Business and whether they could use the intelligence for their financial interest. Now, norah, last night, a transition official told reporters that the president elect did not request this step. And that trumps children had not filled out any paperwork about security clearances. The official added, quote, its not something im expecting right now. Great original reporting. Thank you so much. Cbs news political director and face the nation moderator John Dickerson is here. As juliana reported this would be unprecedented for any children to have top security clearances. What do you make of it . Well, the whole baskets of issues related to the trump family and the trump operation is really interesting. We just spent a Campaign Going through the connections between the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton because there was a lack of transparency. There were muddy and fuzzy relationships and influence was being sought by various people through various connections. So that seems all in play here. So whatever happens, presumably, if they want to drain the swamp, the relationship with the family and the business would be very open and above boards. Or the walls between the two would be very high, if president elect trump wants to keep faith with the promises he made and all the criticisms he leveled during the campaign. Can we talk about president obamas News Conference yesterday, it went on much longer than many people thought but he appeared to be reassuring, cautionary and complementary. And sending messages to people. What was your takeaway . I think the biggest message to take away those worried about donald trump as president he was saying the office of presidency slows you down. Which is funny, thats what those people were critical of him about, the change is not coming fast enough. You can take comfort in that because change is slow. He kept talking about the constraints on the president and the rules and norms that you have to follow. The use of that word norms is interesting, the one thing about Trumps Campaign it was normbreaking. That what worries, hell break those those norms. He was almost fwlaterring of the president which is a remarkable turnaround. Theyre both flattering of each other. President obama said he hes not ideological. He talked about his gifts. He seems to be sending messages through that flattery. The flattery was the appetizer and the meal was dont get ahead of yourself here. Get a good staff in place. Dont be too radical, recognize you have to be slow in what you do. What do you think the point of that flattery was . Donald trumps advisers have talked about how they sought to speak to him through the television. It was sending messages to his supporters and also to donald trump. And complimenting what hes done. Thats right, recognizing and paying homage to it. Also if you want to be totally crass and political for it, did hes going to criticize him later, he needs to not look like he criticized him out of the box. And he did not address the appointment of steve bannon. He did not. He did not on bannons specific grounds, he said im not going to talk about every single pick. And remember, obama intends on living in washington for the next coming of years as his daughter finishes high school. Youre going to have a president and former president in the same town. George bush said a precedent to not talk about his former predecessor. Is barack obama going to do that . And the cabinet posts. Its fascinating, as major pointed out, loyalty. Heres the challenge, with donald trump with any presidency, if you surround yourself with loyalists, you cocoon, and it all gets wrapped into a tight bubble. Is loyalty a trump thing, do you think . In this case, its not always a bad thing. Especially when that is reinforcing people around you, john kennedy talked about this early when you get into group think. On the other hand, you need loyaltyists who may be the only one who can tell the chief executive no because he trusts him. Thats where the family is super important. Thank you, major. So much to follow. An Ohio State University student is facing Assault Charges for allegedly hitting an antitrump protester. Hey the video capture the man slamming into the protester, was knocked down the stairs. Campus police took him into custody. More than 5,000 seattle students walked out of classes to protest the election. Police say two men who were not students were arrested. More than 1,000 students in los angeles stormed the downtown plaza. Signed said no hate, no racism no trump. President obama touched down in greece this morning as the start of this final trip abroad while in office. He joined the greek president. The president said part of his mission is to reassure allies about president elect trump. In my conversation with the president elect, he expressed a great interest maintaining our core strategic relationships. And so, one of the messages i will be able to deliver is his commitment to nato and the transatlantic alliance. I think thats one of the most important functions i can serve at this stage, during this trip. Margaret brennan is traveling with the president in athens. Shes near the acropolis. Good morning. Reporter good morning, president obama is confronting urine totally rattled by a donald trump election. Theyre worried that his actions will match his campaign rhetoric. Despite will trumps assurances to the president that he will stand by nato. They worry that the friend outreach to russia means that Vladimir Putin will have free rein to do what he pleases. And theres concern that with european help may now be in jeopardy. That includes the Iran Nuclear Deal and the International Climate change agreement. So any suggestion that america will retreat from Global Leadership really concerns europe which is also struggling with brexit. High unemployment, refugee crisis and the rise of nationalist groups here in greece, in germany and in the uk and in france. So, gayle, president obama has his work cut out for him, trying to reassure the longterm allies even though hes not fully sure what President Trump will do. All right, thank you very much, Margaret Brennan reporting from athens. Dry weather and droughts conditions across the south are fuelling an explosion of wildfires. Thousands of acres have burned now and heavy smoke is raising air quality concerns. Dozens of fires are still burn North Carolina income, georgia, tennessee and other states. Mark strassmann is in the northern georgia down of clayton right now. Mark, good morning.

Those fires have already charred more than 100,000 acres and forced evacuations. Oh, im concerned. It was up there at the top of the ridge and now its down here. Its unnerving. Its scary. Its terrifyingin iterrifying. Reporter in North Carolina, flames are threatening 17 structures. More than 20 wildfires are burn North Carolina income many of them investigated for suspected arson. The way this fire is totally different. This is the worst thing ive ever been involved in. Reporter from the flames, massive plumes of smoke, so much that dozens of counties are facing air quality advisories. A view from nasa shows the extent of the smoke. Some of it has started to drift into the Metro Atlanta area. I have have asthma, being outside with them, ive noticed them coughing. Reporter making it difficult for firefighters. Dry conditions and severe drought that faced region. Ive got faith theyre going to get it out and that were going to be okay. Reporter another sense of the challenge here, there are 5,000 firefighters on the ground from as far away as colorado and california. And in this continuing drought, there is no rain in the forecast. Norah. That is tough, mark. Thank you so much. Gwen ifill is being remembered this morning as a pioneering journalist, its pbs coanchor died monday of cancer. She was 61 years old.

One week after Donald Trumps surprising victory much of america is still at odds over the direction of this country. Cbs news contributor and republican strategic frank luntz invited 18 trump voters from new york, new jersey and connecticut to take part in a focus group. One of the women joined the discussion halfway through. The 11 men and seven women ranged in age from 22 to 64 years old. Five of them voted for barack obama in previous elections. Now, all but one of them say they are, quote, mad as hell about the state of the country. They talked about the election result its as and the anger on sides. Across america, you had tens of thousands of people opposing this election. They claim trumps a racist. They claim trumps a sexist, and yet you all voted for him, whats going jon. They dont research the candidate and when they get the real information theyre in denial. On the left theyre supposed to be the party of tolerance. The only tolerance is for people who think about them. Theyre behaving like children, most of us know when a child has a tantrum, you dont give into it. Behaving like children . Yes, because they dont get what they want, they throw a tantrum. I hear about the anger voters. What are you so angry about . Barack obama claimed hope and change, for eight years we basically got nothing. The system. The system is rigged. Its all against us. What system . The government. Our government, our government is against us. Against you . Yes, working against us. Everything has come down on the middle class. Invited a bunch of women who didnt want to do it, why would women not want to participate in this . Probably scared. I think its because of the whole sexual scandal. The backlash is people saying how could you support who behaved in that manner. Were not electing someone to be a sunday school teacher. Its about the economy. How are we going to find Common Ground . Once he gets his mojo going hes going to prove to everybody, republicans, democrats, that he can do it and hes going to unite. We are going to come together. We have to. Lets hope everybody today that the country comes together. They have very strong view, frank. Whats driving te ining the ang . They are hoping for genuine change. Number one, we all need to calm down. Everyone does. And its interesting that the clinton whoever you voted for based on who youre angry with in how they behaved this week. If youre not with the trump voters, i know you voted for clinton. Everyone needs to step back. We are so hyper critical. And the election is over. Its now time to govern, what they said, you could see it on cbsn, when they lost in 2012, they didnt go out and protest, they went to work for 2016. That this is the first time they have seen that someone who was unsuccessful, basically you got all the protests. The second thing is, theres a woman thats not in that clip, im hoping its in cbsn, she could not come. I read her email she was afraid for her own safety and security and her children because she knew in fact, youre watching it right now. She showed up in the middle. I was so impressed. Ive never worked so hard to get an individual to participate. Because i wanted viewers get a chance to hear what she had to say. Frank, you did a tile defendant, in this focus group where participants watched clips from Donald Trumps interview. About special interest groups, the higher the red line go, the more they liked mr. Trumps answers. Everything down there, with the people, theyre all people that work thats the problem with the system. The system. Right now, were going to clean it up. Were having restrictions on foreign money coming in. Were going to put on term limit which is a lot of people arent happy about. Were putting on term limits. Were doing a lot of things to clean up the system. What have we learned about this answer, frank . Theyre prepared to allow him to use lobbyists to vet people being chose for the administration. On ever issue, theyve started to backtrack, they want to give him the leeway to compromise because they feel hes in the right direction. One of the most used chants during the Election Debate was lock her up. Lets watch. Well, ill tell what you im going to do. Im going to think about it, i feel that i want to focus on jobs. I want to focus on health care. I want to focus on the border and immigration and doing a really great immigration bill. We want to have a great immigration bill. And i want to focus on all of these other things that weve been talking about. And get the country straightened away. He essentially sidestepped a promise in the campaign that he would appoint a special prosecutor saying theres other issues more important. He actually said that the clintons are good people. And that was the only time when the lines went down. Oh, really . Yes. Because a number of voters do not believe that the clintons are good people. Only two out of the 18. And quickly, what about parts of the obamacare . Once again, basically repeal and replace, theyll accept it. They will give him the responsibility to compromise if they continues to change.

The goal to hit 84 in the coming weeks, kris van cleave looks at the system and joins us at Reagan National airport outside of washington with the new technology. Kris, good morning. Reporter good morning, this is a bag tag. Lets take a closer look. You see this chip here, thats at the center of this new baggage tracking system. Its kind of like luggage lowjack. Is it has the potential to save airlines up to 3 billion over the next seven years. Whats inside this bag tag could change the Airline Industry and help guarantee luggage doesnt get lost. Delta is the first u. S. Carrier to preplace traditional paper tags with a radio frequency identification or rfid chip. The new 50 million system now allows Realtime Tracking of every checked bag. We are changing the bag with every performance. We believe this has had a 5 to 10 reduction in the number of mishandled bags in the system. Reporter once the bag is tagged, sensors track it throughut the journey. From the ticket counter. To the bag room. To the tarmac. And if this light turns red that means the bag should not be on this flight and it stops the load process. Victor derosa say baggage handler. Takes away that margin of error . Absolutely. Because were all human. So it does for a variety of reasons, whether you changed your itinerary, whether you decided not to go or whether we were just thinking about Something Else and not paying attention to that specific backpack, it catches it for us. Reporter there is a reason delta is spending billions of dollars dollars dollars to implement the new system. Starting today passengers will get push alert updates like these on their smartphones. From the app, they can pull up an app tracking the location. Does this give you peace of mind . Yes, i would definitely think this gives me more peace of mind knowing that my luggage is with me.

Including this little girl. And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i asked my doctor. And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.

According to the the New York Times trump wants to continue holding large rallies when he takes office. Because he enjoys the instant ratification from large crowds. He probably could have skipped being president and just gone on store with kevin hart. We have a new book called our revolution now that it ends any thoughts about changing the title of the book . Now more than ever, our revolution. Gayle king with norah odonnell, charlie rose is off. Were in good hands, Anthony Mason is here. President elect donald trump plants to talk about top cabinet appointments with the head of his Transition Team with Vice President elect mike pence. He recommended Steve Mnuchin to be secretary. And new york city mayor Rudy Giuliani is mr. Trumps choice for secretary of state. He has limited Foreign Policy experience. Former u. N. Ambassador john bolton and republican for several add indications is another option for secretary of state. Hes a hawk on defense strategy. Democrats and activists are speaking out against Steven Bannon, mr. Trumps recently appointed chief strategist. Bannon led the conservative website breitbart for almost five years before joining the Trump Campaign as ceo. It has helped to rally the movement, a altright who believed right identity is under attack by multicultural forces. Chip reid is here with how bannon rose to a top position. Good morning. Good morning, behind the scenes, hes one of the most powerful people in president elect donald trump inner circle also one of the most controversial. His appointment as Steven Bannon of chief white house strategist is proof of the other direction will trump plans to take this country. Reporter appointment of Steven Bannon reverberated monday. Reporter a navy veteran bannon earned his wealth as a Goldman Sachs banker later as a hollywood investor reportedly gains rights to the seinfeld series. In 2012 bannon took over the conservative website breitbart. Bann bann bannon boasted about turning into at altright. Joshua green profiled bannon for Bloomberg Business week. That was the role he enjoyed. Sort of poking at the establishment with a stick and being deliberately provocative and even offensive as i think he could be. Reporter reportedly drawing more than 20 Million Viewers a month, brigeitbart is known for inflammatory comments. Bannons personal life has also been mired in controversy. In 1996, he was charged with misdemeanor Domestic Violence and battery when his now exwife alleged he grabbed her by the arm. The case was dropped when she did not show up in court. And then blocked the girls from going to school because he didnt want the girls to go to school with jews. Bannon has denied that accusation. Bannon was responsible for several attentiongrabbing moments. Including this predebate press conference with multiple bill clinton accusers. Bill making and power but his main goal is the guy who keeps it honest and keeps the flame burning as someone distinctly outside of the political system. In response to a cbs news inquiry about bannons connection to the alt right connection, it was said nothing could be further from the truth. Hes worked with people of all backgrounds. Hes admitted while some white nationalists may be attracted to philosophies of the alt right, he believes there are elements of the hard left that attract extremists as well. Republican senator bob corker of tennessee is chairman of the Foreign Relations committee. He supported mr. Trump during his campaign and served on the National Security Advisory Counsel in october. Senator corker is on capitol hill for his first tv interview since the election. Senator, thank you for joining us. Good morning. Good to be with you. Youre the chairman of the Foreign Relations committee which means youll be in charge of any selection in terms of approval of secretary of state for president elect donald trump. Do you see any problem with Rudy Giuliani in that position . Well, look, i think we let this process complete. We know who the person is. It is going to be my job to lead the confirmation process. But handicap people at this moment would just be inappropriate. Lets let it play out. What would you like to see in a secretary of state . Well, obviously, its the person who is best able to advance our National Interests around the world. And obviously, its someone that has to deal with diplomats, but at the same time, i think we see that theres going to be pretty much of a sort of a c change, if you will, understand this president. And as it relates to how we address many issues. And someones going to have to have the ability and be in the environment where theyre productive and able to do that. Look, this is the beginning, i know that people are just getting started. And lets let this play out. And i do look forward in helping in any way i can in the confirmation process. Senator, your name did come up as a possible secretary of state candidate. Have you talked to the president elect and would you be interested in the job . I did have a discussion with him, as with Vice President pence. Im reading all the things that youre reading. Watching the same things that youre reporting. Again, thats up to him. I know they have a number of people central in the campaign that have been involved in a very major way that are looking at these things. Lets let that process play out. You have praised Donald Trumps decision to make Reince Priebus as chief of staff. What are your thoughts about steve bannon . We havent heard anything about that, your feelings about that . You know, i dont know him. Ive never met him. Reince is somebody ive had a number of interactions with, had dinner with, spent a lot of time with. And i think hell be a great chief of staff. The other gentleman, i have never met, i was listening to your reporting a minute ago, and learned some things that i have never known. So, well see. You didnt know that steve bannon was the head of breitbart and that headlines like that . I did know he was head of bright b. A. R. T. And weve heard that thing theyring of naming trumps Adult Children some advisers and security clearances. Do you think thats a conflicts of interest . My understanding is, they didnt actually make that request. They asked if it was appropriate. At least thats what one of his aides had mentioned. But my guess is, thats not going to happen. I dont think thats the norm. And so, that conflict, likely, would not exist. President elect donald trump has spoken with russian president Vladimir Putin as heads of the senate Foreign Relations committee, what do you think of the relationship between the u. S. And russia under this new administration . Well, lets wait and see. There are some things we have in common with russia and should work with them. Terrorism is one of those. On the other hand, putin has shown himself to be a brutal dictatorlike leader. And lets face it, has worked against our National Interests. I think its always positive when leaders of two countries begin on a positive note. Hopefully, theres something to build upon there. But obviously, mr. Putin himself will have to change the way he deals with the world for that to be a constructive relationship. Maybe with president elect trump being in office, maybe that changes. All right. Senator corker, thank you very much for taking the time to join us this morning. Are your finances ready for retirements . Thats a question a lot of people are asking.

Is Social Security still a reliable income for a retiree, do you think . Social security is a pay as you go system. Which means weve got a lot of people who are working and they pay benefits in for those who are no longer working.

In the next 20 years or so, about the time im supposed to claim Social Security, the trust fund is depleted. Heres what happens, only 75 of promised benefits will be able to be paid out. There are fixings to the program. No one likes the fix. You can raise the wage base. You can make people work harder. But thats hard if you got a really physical job or you cant do your job or some combination. There are solutions. There will be some coddling together because people really like Social Security.
