real reason for the party s stunning defeat. martha: and a house intelligence committee request for more information on the russian we re going to get reaction from senator lindsey graham, right now here s trump s senior adviser, kellyanne conway. let s roll the tape leading up to election day. how many people were talking about this as interfering in the election? they were talking about what they were going to do in the west wing, that the path was closed, we can never win. nobody talked about this.
meanwhile, mr. trump naming rona romney mcdaniel as the next leader of the rnc. she is the head of the michigan gop, and he s also mitt romney s niece. so there s that to keep an eye on this morning. all of this as a busy day with some of the sultans of silicon valley, telling the group he wants to, quote, help them do well, adding this: we want you to keep going with the incredible innovation. there s nobody like you in the world. there s nobody like the people in this room. and anything we can do to help this go along, we re going to be there for you. you ll call my people, you ll call me, it doesn t make any difference. we have no formal chain of command around here. bill: the meetings, yeah. martha: very interesting. bill: what do you think the net worth was at that table, martha?

these people up until in this process. i think that the american people s perception of them will likely change as they get to hear more from them and their plans. martha: yeah. we all expected that today there would be a big news conference and a discussion from the president-elect about how he was going to divide his business interests and how he would create a wall between his work as president of the united states and the business that he built over the course of a lifetime. so here s what the poll says about that. are you concerned that the wall will, that he will place business interests ahead of the american people, is the way this was worded. 52% say yes, 47% say no. so sooner or later, he s going to have to put people s minds at ease or attempt to on this, bret. yeah. he tweeted about that today saying it s not as complex as the media makes it. you re right to point out that the press conference the last one was july 27th. hard to believe. july 27th was donald trump s last

that s a five-day window. based on what we re hearing, i don t expect it to happen by then. no. bill: if that s the case, then this drags into 2017, correct? it does. and, look, the issues at the core of this is are important enough that they should be continued to be discussed in 2017 because they matter to sort of the fundamentals of our democracy. bill: twelve-hour honeymoon. get back at it. stephen hayes, thank you so much in washington d.c. thanks, bill. martha: we will talk with ohio committee. reaction the intelligence agencies. that comes up right here at the bottom of the hour. and president-elect trump calling out the media on twitter this morning. he was quite active on twitter today so far. the media, he says, tried so hard to make my move to the white house as it pertains to my actually, it isn t.
