this is not a candidate who has followed the norms. he did not arrive on the same plane as press. he occasionally inl vieted select reporters on his plane. our understanding is he s going to have to give up trump force one and you know, he would occasi occasionally joke about a downgrade to air force one. at least on air force one, there is a press section right at the back of the plane. for about 12 journalists and who always travel with the president. i m sure that will happen in time. it better. it better. fortress trump, the challenge of protecting the president-elect when he s inside one of new york s top tourist destinations. trump tower.
well, i would say the main person right now would be general michael flinn. he s extremely close to president-elect trump. he is probably the one he relies on the most for national security, also, jim wool si who was bill clinton s former cia director. he s definitely plugged in. so i would say though they re the main two off the top of my head. let my say, i agree with barbara star as i usually do. i ve also spoken to people who were briefed the president-elect in the past, including president obama. who actually been a u.s. senator for four years, and they invariably surprised when they learn all that is going on, all the threats that are against us, all the operations we may have around the world. what might be coming down and it s to realize they have that power. and the responsibility, it s even though you read about it and hear about it, apparently
me, he s at least going to get considered some amendments if you will as opposed to maybe complete repeal and replacement. let s talk about other issues that have now come up. vice president-elect mike pence. he now takes over the transition from chris christie. is that a good idea from your perspective? well, as far as mike pence, he is class a. i ve known mooek since the year 2000. he s a great congressman. widely respected. everyone respects his integrity. he s a smart guy, governor, and obviously he s won the confidence of donald trump. and he has no agenda now, he is the vice president of the united states. so it s not going to be he s jockeying for any position for himself. i think donald trump sees him as being an broker who knows his way around washington. and yet, solid conservative principle. so i can see why he picked donald trump, as far as chris christie, i don t know what s going on behind the scenes, but all i can say as far as smens concerned, i have tremendous regard
surprising hint he may be open to keeping parts of president obama s health care reform law as well as today s dramatic shake-up in donald trump s transition team. the vice president-elect mike pence now taking over from governor chris christie and the dramatically expanded team includes three of donald trump s adult charn. ivanka, eric, and donald jr. our correspondents are learning even more from their sources. the wall street journal interview was fascinating because a trump following his meeting yesterday behind us in the white house and oval office, he says out of respect to president obama, he s now willing to maybe amend the affordable care act, obamacare, instead of quickly repealing and replacing. remember when we were talking about how interesting it was that donald trump came out of that meeting and said that he had learned some things from president obama about his achievements. and we were speculating and we might have been right that perhaps president obama was talking
over even more restrictive actions to take. concerns exacerbated by protesters, across the street from the building s main entrance. there s always a possibility where you may have a rogue person or two or professional agitator or two who may decide they have to take it a notch up or two. and then law enforcement is going to have to deal with that on top of the actual securing of the perimeter itself. reporter: law enforcement officials acknowledge the challenge. there s no easy way to protect a building that reads trump tower that sits right in the middle of 5th avenue. and wolf, we ve spoken countless times from out in front of this building. you ll notice, i m in a very different place right now. usually right next to the building. but we ve been moved across the street. behind me, 5th avenue has been closed multiple times. when you talk to law enforcement
