president-elect on a whole host of issues. on twitter, this is not reality television. this is reality. look, i think chuck schumer is going to be a fighter. i think he also understands that he has a fine line to walk. for example, on infrastructure plans. if there is a big infwra structure proposal, the democrats are going to say, great. we re going to fund that. we want to work with the president on that. the republicans not so much. i think he laid down the law that the democratic party is going to remain the democratic party. when this he can work with trump they will, when they can t, they won t. he came close to ridiculing the president-elect on several sensitive critically important issues, including russia. including and especially russia. this is one of those examples of where you have a democratic leader, the democratic leader now, chuck schumer, working hand in glove with the most veteran highest ranking republicans on
team. obviously, his son-in-law is going to be involved in decision making. reporter: anti-nepotism laws hold back kushner from holding an official job. for someone to have those powers is itself a contradiction. reporter: no doubt donald trump s son-in-law will play a big role in the new white house. andrea mitchell reporting there. house republicans anonymously nominated paul ryan for another term as house speaker. he ll face an election in the full house in january. he pledged to work closely with the president-elect, though they have often butted heads. welcome to the dawn of a new unified republican government. we re on the same page with our president-elect. i talk with donald trump virtually every single day. i spoke with mike pence this morning. we re on the same page, working hand in glove and going to make sure this is a successful administration, but more importantly, we re going to make
a disgraceful period in the department and the fbi. james comey and loretta lynch and all the people involved in this have performed disgracefully and unconstitutionally which is even more important. tucker: tom fitton what jumps out at you. targeting trump that s the bailiffs of the appointment of robert mueller. the corruption associated with the fisa surveillance. have you got the corruption associated with the fbi and doj working hand in glove with the clinton campaign to push this narrative beginning in the summer of 2016 and it all led to the appointment of robert mueller. there is no russia collusion story without the dossier. and we now know and have confirmed six ways to sunday there was nothing behind it so, therefore, why is there a special counsel investigation? tucker: that is a good question. what would help a lot i think and would answer basic questions would be the declassification of a number of subsequent documents.
mr. trump did in the election. doing better with african-americans and hispanics and blue states that republicans haven t done in the past. there is this unifying feeling coming out of this campaign, or what was the campaign, now moving into becoming president of the united states. and that s really where our focus is. and so when you take mr. bannon who will be the chief strategist and senior counselor to the president, teaming up, working hand in glove with chairman priebus who is coming on board as the chief of staff, this is going to be a good team that, number one, helped get mr. trump across the finish line. they put together the plan. they worked seamlessly together. and as we ve seen, both of these men have been involved in campaigns with mr. trump for a long time. and the entire time, they were purely focused on his vision and they helped him win. the challenge is, to unite. right? you have your numbers, their numbers on the other side, that reveal a very divided country. po
