from foreign governments. where his name is showing up on buildings all over the world. also in some places where there s a threat of terrorism. we don t put the president s name up on a building and then worry about how to protect it. we should be focusing on the job that he wanted to do and that is being president for the american people and not just looking out after his businesses. and unfortunately, i see too much of the latter going on over the past week, week and a half, since he was elected. so you would basically advise him go public, jettison really the business, any sort of governance of the business, by himself or by his children? yes, i think he needs to do that. and donald trump could be a good president. he is a very bright man. he said some things that he shouldn t have said. but he needs to focus on this job. he wanted the job. and now he has a job to do.
after that, then they ll get to the secretary of state position. it s more contentious. they want to have a little bit more debate about it. there s a dark horse. if romney and rudy can t please both sides, you ve got david petraeus who threw his hat into the ring very publicly last week. trump loves david petraeus. so many people love david petraeus on both sides. a lot of former generals. you ve got general mike, general mike, general mike, and general david and general jim. it s a lot of generals. it certainly is. josh, eugene, thank you so much. happy thanksgiving. same to you. before we move on, president obama recorded a thanksgiving message too and it sounds a lot like the president-elect s. thanksgiving reminds us we re part of something bigger than ourselves. we are communities that move forward together. we re neighbors. we look out for one another. especially those among us with the least. we are always simply americans.
election. ronald reagan himself in 1980, he waited until november 22nd to start his daily pdb briefings with these briefers. and george w. bush because of the whole recount debacle in 2000, he didn t start getting his daily briefings on the book until december 5th. so there is some precedent for the presidents-elect waiting to get full speed on this. president obama has really, you know, he not only got the regular briefings, he scheduled deep dives on key subjects like iran s nuclear program. as you mentioned that george w. bush s was delayed and we see this here in the graphic. but then he got briefings every day afterwards. so i think we re waiting to see what donald trump does going forward. and then bill clinton got his first briefing ten days after the election, then received them almost every day after that. i wonder for someone like donald trump who doesn t have foreign policy experience, those deep dives that president-elect obama
even after declaring that a president can t have a conflict of interest, president-elect donald trump is facing new questions about the role his family will play in his administration, and here s the latest example. it is a report from the wall street journal that his oldest son, donald jr., held private discussions with diplomats, businessmen and politicians in paris on how to cooperate with russia on the war in syria. and this report follows revelations that donald trump s eldest daughter ivanka sat in on the meeting with the japanese prime minister and also was on the phone with the president of argentina would called to congratulation her father. the trump team says no business was discussed but the trump organization is working on a $100 million project in buenos
