>> i don't think it can be overplayed out significant the tension between these two. seeing those clips states that. we have not seen that disagreement from the president recent presidential nominee and previous nominee. the men suggest they want to put those things in the past and move forward into making america great again. whether or not the base will get on board with that remains to be seen. a lot of people took criticism for supporting trump that romney did not have to put up with. it seems he is being rewarded right now. >> let's talk about the wealth factor. donald trump says he will represent the working men and women. you know, the working class. the people whom the system is rigged against. you look at the cabinet consideration and the money. harold hamm, $15 million. wilbur ross, $60 million. you see the numbers. he really is -- what does this is a? is it concerning at all? maybe these people don't have middle class ties and senseability? is donald trump saying they are successful and made it in the country and perfectly positioned to help others make it? >> i think these are the people that the president-elect values. these are people very much like him. this is his network. we don't expect him to have a lot of relationships with season policymakers and people familiar with washington which is one of the reasons some have argued that he needs to bring a romney on. he knows business men and business women. those are the people that he is tapping to take the country forward. the question becomes do these people have the policy chops and knowledge to take this country forward. there has been, carson, admitted he did not. there is criticism about his education secretary pick not having a teacher background or a parent of public school educated children. it gives you some type of insight as to the direction he wants to take the country. >> now, eugene, another criticism of the folks he is considering for top administration positions has been a lack of experience. you look at nikki haley who doesn't have a ton of diplomatic experience named ambassador for u.n. and ben carson to the housing and urban development and romney for secretary of state. does it concern you at all that he is not looking for more experience in the fields? >> i don't think these he people have any less experience than trump does in the field that he is about to enter into. the reality is that the hope is that they will fill their teams with people more knowledgeable about issues and policy ideas and daily mechanics of what it takes to lead a country. >> eugenewineugene scott, what favorite kind of pie?

trump against bringing on mitt romney as secretary of state. if a series of tweets, his former campaign manager said she has been deluged by loyalists opposed to mitt romney. he tweeted henry kissinger flew around the world less and counselled the president more and were more loyal. conway is not tweeting anything she has not told trump privately. trump is spending the holiday with his family at mar-a-lago estate. his transition team will hold a conference call with reporters later this morning. we get the latest from jason carroll in palm beach. >> reporter: a conference call scheduled for 10:30 this morning. this will be the transition team going over who's on tap to be interviewed on monday for a cabinet position. having said that, we still may hear something later today about commerce secretary. wilbur ross is up for that particular job. also we might hear something about ben carson. up for head secretad hud secret. trump for his part turned part of the holiday into

working hard on thanksgiving trying to get carrier air conditioning company to stay in the united states. will know soon. carrier air conditioner weighing in. carrier has had discussion was the incoming administration and we look forward to working together. nothing to announce at this time. in terms of those other announcements. the position of secretary of state, that is something that the lead candidate mitt romney is said to still mull over and checking with advisers. not expecting to hear something on that front until later next week. christine. boris. >> jason, thank you. let's take advantage of the pause and fast paced transition to assess how it is going with political reporter eugene scott. live for us in washington. eugene, good morning. we have to ask about the series of tweets we have seen from kellyanne conway. publicly saying that mitt romney for secretary of state is not such a good idea. one of the words she used that stood out was loyal. here is one of them specifically talking about the attention that pick has gotten from trump supporters. here is the other one. former secretaries of state. is this something you expected for her to do this publicly? she told trump the same in private. we have never seen this exposure in a transition before. is this something healthy? >> i think it is an unexpected move from overall unexpected presidential election. it is no surprise to anyone that mitt romney and donald trump were at odds for much of the campaign. i don't think we can minimize how unexpected it is that mitt romney is being considered for a high profile position or any position at this point considering he was not very loyal to trump. someone who highly values loyalty. what conway was highlighting was that. letting people know there was dissatisfaction. >> we know donald trump has been talking about discussions he is having with carrier. a company that makes air conditioners. we know carrier has moved jobs offshore. donald trump made that a big part of his stump speech. you heard in jason's piece. he is making progress on trying to keep jobs in the united states. carrier confirming. we are talking to and working with the income administration. what does this tell us about the deal maker? he has talked to ford and carrier. he is trying to pressure the companies to change the way they do business. >> i think it is making it clear he is very aware for one of the issues that led people to get behind him most strongly. they really wanted to see the next president bring jobs back to the country. it is not a surprise that he was able to make head way with the company considering the relationship with indiana and mike pence is the vice president-elect. whether or not he will follow through with this consistently remains to be seen. people more familiar with jobs and globalization of it all are not sure this will be a constant move he will be able to maintain. it certainly is a step in the right direction for people who have been dissatisfied with what appears to be him not being consistent with the other promises. >> i think there a theory if he can get a couple of deals or headlines keeping jobs here, then you don't necessarily have to remake trade policy. if he can get a couple of wins he can point to, you don't necessarily upend trade policy. >> especially in a public way. we have never seen someone in high office go after a company that way on social media. we have to ask about one of the big stories. the scientists that come out that said hillary clinton should contest the results in rustbelt states. she did worse with electronic voting machines than paper ballots. jill stein has raised a bit of money. $4.5 million for a potential recount. it seems clinton more or less publicly has let this go. is this something worth pursuing in your eyes, eugene? >> it doesn't seem clear. there is no prove that hacking actually happened. this seems to be a continuation of some moves to create a level of mistrust in the presidential election system that we have in the country. i'm not very surprised that the clinton campaign has not commented. it is not clear also what stein needs to use the money for and what will this all change if something is revealed. i think it would be perhaps in the best interest of americans if they want to ask questions about what happened is to reexamine the role and significance of the electoral college and selecting the president and the person who did to the win got 2 million more votes than the person elected. >> eugene, are you going shopping? >> i did online shopping. and to boris' point, i'm one who shopped for himself. >> that's a good deal. >> i can't blame you. i was going to ask for the pie cheesecake recipe. >> good stuff. >> eugene, good stuff. thank you. tens of thousands of israelis are fleeing wildfires in the city of haifa. we have details on the situation there coming up. isn't it time to let the real you shine through?

first-degree murder charges for a black teenager who bumped into him outside a convenience store this week. he claims he feared for his life and defending himself when the 15-year-old pulled a gun on him monday night. police say that is not what he originally told him. we get more from cnn's ryan young. >> reporter: a lot of questions remain about how this shooting actually happened. william pulliam said he was going to the dollar store when he encountered three teens. one teen got off the porch and walked up to him and they had a disagreement. he ended up walking on to the dollar store. william said to avoid the teen, he crossed the street on the way back home. that's when the teen crossed the street and they had another visual disagreement. william said that kid had a gun. he went to pull the gun and waved it around. he shot him two times before going home and having dinner before police arrested him. he is actually talking from his jail cell. this is what he had to say. >> i don't like. it believe me, i didn't want to kill anybody. they're not going to kill me. i felt my life was in danger. i'm sorry. i'm 62 years old. i'm not taking punks beating me up. it doesn't make a difference if he is black. everybody around me is black that lives around there. >> reporter: police have not been able to get back to us if the teen had a gun. william says he feared for his life and shot him in self defense. that is something we will have to figure out. one thing that stands out in the case when police arrested him. william pulliam made a statement to police. the way i look at it, it is another piece of trash off the street. he never said that. he said he did this in self defense. we have learned that he shouldn't have had a gun. apparently about three years ago, he pled guilty to domestic violence charges and that by federal law means he should not have been walking around with a revolver. at this point, william has denied bond. ryan young, cnn, chicago. at least ten people in custody for the arson terrorism in israel. the mayor of haifa calling this scale of the fire unprecedented. israel's prime minister promises to punish those responsible. cnn's oren liebermann is live for us. >> reporter: good morning, christine. a lot of the fires that firefighters were fighting yesterday have reignited because of the dry conditions and the high winds. that is the challenge now. over the course of the last half hour, we heard a number of fire trucks going back and forth responding to the hot spots popping up. this is a bit of smoke here, but one of many that we're seeing in the area. something like this can reignite and start another fire. that is the challenge now facing authorities. keeping the fires out. not easy to do in these conditions. since last weekend, fire officials said they had to deal with 1,200 fires. 250 are major. the hardest hit areas in haifa. this building is in the center of the city. the building entirely gutted. you can smell the burned wood and plastic. there are clouds of ash that go flying around. look at the video from elsewhere in northern israel and central israel. there were more evacuations in northern israel

sure had a lot to think about. what about the people i care about? ...including this little girl. and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i asked my doctor. and he recommended eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. both made me turn around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily ...and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis the right treatment for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. happy black friday. let's get an early start on your money.
