will come at noon on january 20th. i know you have a busy schedule ahead of you. we appreciate you taking time out to be with us. a busy day ahead. a new development in the federal death penalty trial tort charleston church shooter as he awaits the death sentencing phase. when you have a cold, you just want powerful relief. only new alka-seltzer plus free of artificial dyes and preservatives liquid gels delivers the powerful cold symptom relief you need without the unnecessary additives you don t. store manager: clean up, aisle 4. alka-seltzer plus liquid gels.
the u.n. security council resolution is a matter of record now in the u.n., in terms of how other countries may act on this with the number of executive orders relating to environmental issues. you have barack obama trying to cement his legacy on russian hacking. he embarks on retaliatory measures. those are facts on if ground. is it fair to say that president obama is trying to tie donald trump s hands to some degree before he takes office? i don t know if he s tying his hands. but look, when you re president, you reserve all of the powers and responsibilities of that office until noon on january 20th. and there s no reason that obama, you know, shouldn t go forward with the agenda he was elected to take care of. every president has done this. remember bill clinton in if final days pushed through lots of things. george w. bush did the same thing. i think the interesting thing on the hacking is the president-elect should be being briefed on the most sensitive
what on god s green earth does that mean? and i ask you guys through this camera, i ask you guys these questions a lot these days when it comes to covering the transition to the new administration, the difference tonight is that i have someone here to ask in person. i m very pleased to say joining us live for the interview tonight is newly announced presidential counselor kellyanne conway. i have not seen you since the election. congratulations on the election. appreciate it. congratulations on the announcement today. he s your president, too. yes, we only have one president. thank you very much. he s, however, not the president yet. that s right. that s part of why i want to ask you about foreign policy pronouncements because you ve said and you ve been most clear on this out of everybody in trump world that you respect that president obama is still president. he s president until noon on january 20th. usually what that means is that a president-elect would avoid try
extremely unfair to all israelis. ambassador, again, what, what does this mean that the president-elect is weighing in on, you know, geopolitics before he s in office? well, it is unprecedented. we have a tradition of one president at a time. this resolution was going to be voted upon by the united states. president obama heads our government. he will until noon on january 20th. so, this is extremely unusual. second, it s ill advised. this was a resolution not on negotiations but settlements. as our former ambassador said if trump wanted to veto this resolution, we would veto 40 years of american policy uns unsettleme unsettlements. going back to the 1960s has been against israeli settlements on the west bank. and in east jerusalem. so, i think president-elect trump would be best advised to get his team around them, form their strategy, wait until
really social media diplomacy. here he is tweeting about the setment vote at the united nations, and you know, intervening in that right now. we ve got the tweet about nuclear weapons and then later in the day you ve got the tweet about lockheed martin and boeing sort of pitting those two companies against each other when it comes to fight jets, sending lockheed stocks down after hours trading and this is having a real impact. i think there s a need for discipline obviously. transitions can be useful to president-elects. it s a time to dig into the intelligence, get briefed on issues. form your team. get a sense of the strategy of the team and hit the ground running at noon on january 20th. our tradition, but also i think reason would dictate that that s the best way to do it. and this issue with nuclear weapons is so important, existential issue for the united states for russia, for china. you don t want to slip up. you don t want to say things that can be misunderstood.
