reporter: so something that is always a big challenge for any white house, which is communicating to the american people. it highlights this idea that you campaign in poetry but govern in prose. it will be interesting for the next white house to take some of that information under consideration, carol. athena jones reporting live for us this morning, thank you. still to come in the newsroom, the president-elect goes after hillary clinton, yes, hillary clinton, just days before he takes office. i ll talk to clinton s former campaign manager about that and more in the next hour of newsroom. and my one on one with gretchen carlson on life after fox news, how she s using her fight against sexual harassment to empower girls around the world. why are you checking your credit score? you don t want to ride the 13l forever, do you?
statesperson. she has a powerful voice and i know she ll use that for good and for the purposes that she has always served, to fight for everyday people, to make sure the playing field is level, and to fight for the rights of all people and women and girls around the world. she could do that as mayor of new york city. she could have a big voice. she can do that in a number of ways. i know no matter what, she s going to be an important force for good in our country and our world moving forward. and i look forward to that. we need her voice more than ever. and i look forward to hearing that voice. robby mook, thanks for being with me this morning. thanks. you re welcome. still to come, a wild week on the hill as nominees face confirmation hearings. also coming up, gretchen carlson opening up about her
and made a contribution to her legacy. she has made herself front and center as most visible proponent of healthy lifestyles and education particularly for young girls around the world. she did it all with style and the indomitable grace exempla exemplified by the rallying force of politics, when they go low, we go high. back with me, our analysts. i will come to you with this fist question bause oprah asked the fir lady the number one question on all of their minds the first lady answered definitively in the oprah interview. would you ever run for office? no. i have to ask you. no kind of office? that s one thing i do. i don t make stuff up. i m not coy. i haven t proven that.
relationship that i think will continue forever because there are lots of issues they re interested in, particularly bettering the lives of women and girls around the world. and i think they will stay very involved in that. but mrs. obama was very clear about how much help mrs. bush gave her and said the door is open for me to help because nobody noes what it s like until you re there particularly if you have not been fist lady of the state and that was the case for mrs. obama and certainly the case for mrs. trump so i think it s a wonderful, wonderful thing the way these women really do help each other. a special role. it is a special role. and it means a lot the way the family presented and i think it gives stability to the president. in terms of ivanka, it looks like she s going to play an unusual role and perhaps step in to the social aspects of some of this and policy issues, as well. kind of like a first lady in her role, as well.
