Days . Donald trump set to take our nations highest office. And good morning, america. The Election Results are settling in. The transition of power has begun and overnight thousands of marchers in several cities took the streets to protest Donald Trumps victory. Some of the protests were violent but many, many stayed peaceful. Some demonstrators carrying this sign. We did trumps hate. And here in new york, an artist started this wall, calling it subway therapy. Well, people had a chance to write notes or whatever they felt. Its a very nice note that says stay united and hopeful. That was the message of president obama as well, and he invited donald trump to meet him in the oval office this morning. Benitez outside trump tower with more on the protests overnight. Good morning, gio. Reporter good morning, good morning to you. In so many way these are protests fueled by social media and dont expect them to die down any time soon because right now the number one trend on twitter is that trumpprotests. [ chanting ] reporter overnight protests across the country turning violent in the Early Morning hours. As thousands of protesters from new york to los angeles gathered in the streets to protest the election of donald trump. Police in oakland used tear gas to keep the crowd of nearly 7,000 at bay. Major freeways in los angeles shut down. As crowds burned effigies of trump and marched on city hall. [ chanting ] flocking to trumpowned properties in new york. Theres such anger here right in front of Donald Trumps home theyre chanting this is what democracy looks like from the ballot box to the streets of new york, these people are letting their voices be heard. More than 10,000 gathered throughout the city, crowds blocking traffic, chanting, screaming. Expressing their frustration, some climbing scaffolding and street signs to protest above the crowd. Were just people who are here who love this country as much as any other person. Reporter at least 120 protesters arrested nationwide overnight. And we should tell you the president elect has not yet commented on these protests, but after being here overnight i got to tell you these protests were just so loud you could hear it for blocks. Its hard to imagine how anyone here got much sleep, robin. We did hear it loud and clear and the transition to the new admission begins this morning. President elect donald trump meeting with president obama and his wife meeting with the first lady. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, robin. Today at the white house is not only the beginning of the transition from the Obama Administration to the trump administration, but it is also the first ever face to face meeting between barack obama and donald trump. The president going out and the one coming in both say they want a peaceful and orderly transition. It is time for us to come together as one united people. We are now all rooting for his success in uniting and leading the country. Reporter but american politics has seen few enemies as bitterly opposed as these two. Hes been perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States. Donald trump is whether president obama was an american citizen and a legitimate president. Five years later trump finally retracted his comments, but he didnt apologize. Donald trump will take power in january with his party firmly in control of congress too. This is the most incredible political feat i have seen in my lifetime. We are going to hit the ground running. Reporter at the center of trumps agenda,undoing much of the obama legacy, beginning with the president s signature legislative accomplishment, the Affordable Care act. Well get rid of that. Reporter trump will look to make an immedi Supreme Court. Replacing obamas long stalled nominee with one of his own. Im also going to appoint Great Supreme Court justices, so important. Reporter and of course, he has got a big promise to keep on border security. [ crowd chanting build that wall ] reporter and of course a big promise to keep on border security. And as you mentioned, robin, Melania Trump will be here with if tradition holds they will meet in the residence over tea. Jon, what are you hearing about what a trump cabinet may look like . Reporter well, its early but we can expect that some of those who stood loyally by donald trump through his campaign will be in the trump cabinet. Some possible names would include people like rudy giuliani, jeff sessions, the senator who was the first in congress, significant figure to support him. Newt gingrich, another possibility. Michael flynn, the retired army general, and maybe even the chairman of the rnc who was there with him through it all, reince priebus. Well move on to Hillary Clinton. She had a difficult task yesterday and she carried it off with grace and conviction conceding to donald trump comforting her supporters. Abcs cecilia vega was there for every step of the Clinton Campaign. She joins us now. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter good morning. She was surrounded by her family, her top aides, hundreds of staffers, so many of them in tears. This was an emotional goodbye and chance for Hillary Clinton to speak directly to all of historic campaign. Hillary clinton ending her fight for the white house and quite possibly her political career. This is painleful, and it will be for a long time. Reporter an emotional concession in a manhattan hotel. This loss hurts, but please never stop believing that fighting for whats right is worth it. [ applause ] reporter the emotion overwhelming for many in the clinton, and clintons closest aide, huma abedin. To all the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams. Reporter clinton delivering a message of reconciliation. Donald trump is going to be our president. Reporter to them, she offered encouragement and urged perseverance. I know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but someday, someone will. I want you to know that nothing has made me prouder than to be your champion. Reporter ending with hugs and thanks for so many in that room. And former president george w. Bush called clinton after that speech to thank her for her she is now back home in chappaqua. Her aides are not revealing what comes next, and george, as you know, clinton herself may not know the answer to that. She really didnt think about it as we talked about before. They really believed coming into the final week going into the final hours before the election they had this won. Thats what all their internal polling showed. What are they telling you since then . Reporter they are still not talking, george. I was in that room yesterday they are shellshocked at this point. She had champagne on flight, final campaign flight. That shows you how they thought they had this in the bag. Every source i talked to over the last year and a half said this would be a tight race at the very end. No one inside the Clinton Campaign thought donald trump would be the president. No, and especially in the two big state, wisconsin and pennsylvania, they thought they had solid leads. And people im assuming they will say at some point, their base did not come out to vote. We saw a big reaction on wall street as the Election Results started to come in. Stocks plugged, but then rebounded to a near record high on wednesday and Rebecca Jarvis is at the new york stock exchange. What is going on here . Reporter good morning, thats what everybody is asking because all of the experts expected a major selloff after these Election Results instead what we got, the day after the election, was a huge gain for stocks, the dow ended up the day after election day 257 points the night before. After those results were coming in, now were in striking distance of hitting an alltime record high for the dow so whats really happening here . Well, investors are still digesting the reality that now we have a new president elect donald trump. What came out of Donald Trumps speech on Election Night was infrastructure. He talked about his commitment to spending on that. Thats where we have seen a number of stock gains. Weve also seen stock spending, in defense type in defensetype companies because of donald trump talking about investments in the military and wanting to invest there. The big things here on wall streets mind are less regulation, lower taxes, but, of course, theres still the question about trade, that could impact things going forward, as well, michael. Thank you, rebecca. Now lets bring in abcs matt crowd and cokie roberts. And matt, it seems like the wrong, too. The experts have been wrong a lot along the way. Join the group in this. I think when you look at the market as rebecca knows this full well, the market likes predictability. I think every speech that came out starting with donald trump to Hillary Clinton to Barack Obamas speech is a calming influence on this election. The market likes that. But i think ultimately the market just like the voters are going to look at what donald trump does instead of what he says. Thats what i wanted to ask about. Whats unpredictable is what he is going to do. You worked with president bush, in a similar situation, he came to the white house even though he lost the popular vote and said he had a mandate. Such a jumble of different kinds of policies inside Donald Trumps campaign. Does he go through with things like the immigration building the wall or reach out with republicans and pretty much pass their agenda . I think hes in a more unique situation than george bush was. Donald trump won more electoral votes than any republican since 1988 and lost the popular vote by a bigger he will lose the popular vote by a bigger margin than george w. Bush lost and win i think what you see in the first 100 days is a series of things. They call the fruit. And hell nom fate a Supreme Court justice that appeals to the conservative right and do a series of quick things that appeal to the conservative right and if my expectations are right, hes going to go negotiate with congress on things they can all agree to, Infrastructure Spending and maybe even on the tax code and i think he is going to do both simultaneously. The signals are who he starts nominating those key positions. That will tell us a lot. A lot of people are anxious to hear those names. Lets bring in cokie roberts. She made it home to washington. Good for to you to be here. An important part is preparing the president elect to be commander in chief. What do you know along those lines . Again, it remains a mystery. One of the things thats so interesting about this transition is theres no Old Washington hand here. You know, thats what were used both bushes to some degree, and some who has been here, who knows the players. There are 4,000 political appointees that have to be named. 1,000 of those have to get senate confirmation. Theres an enormous amount of work to be done. And at the commander in chief level, we know that donald trump had the backing of a lot of people in the military. He had generals behind all of that, but we have not a clue what his real intentions are there and i suspect he doesnt either. And jon karl, we talked about the cabinet. One possible Washington Hand would be the former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich but take us inside that meeting with president obama and donald trump today. Probably wont get into a lot of substance but we do know that donald trump wants to undo and right away a lot of president obamas accomplishments. And he can undo a lot because some of the big ones on the environment, climate change, those things can be done really with a signature of a President Trump. Also, i would expect because republicans have been talking about it so much for so long, and if they pass, and i expect they will, all or parts of obamacare, this president , President Trump will certainly sign that into law so theres a lotta can be undone immediately ba of course, a lot of the focus will be on the meeting between those two men, but, cokie roberts, we also know Melania Trump will be meeting with the first lady. How do you expect that to go . I think thats a much easier meeting. This is basically two gracious people. Michelle obama could not be more understanding of what its like to move into that white house with a child. Laura bush was very helpful to her, and i know she will be very helpful to Melania Trump. Theres nothing comfortable about it. But its much easier for two moms to joke about a kid and talk about, you know, schools, that kind of thing than it is for the two men. Matt dowd, we saw these protests overnight. Donald trump in his first speech his very gracious salespeople talked about binding the wounds of the nation. What more do you see him doing to address the majority who voted against him and those protesters . Well, i think hes its more than just him and i think it would be great if he keeps the calming words that hegot going and i think he needs to supporters who say, listen, were in this together. I think this is going to sort of its going to stay what it is, but watch for the january 20th inauguration. I wouldnt be surprised if this protest culminates in something weve never seen in a president ial inauguration. We will be watching. Okay, matt dowd, thanks very much. Amy is heres with other top stories. Thats right, good morning. Details still coming in but we are told two Police Officers have been shot responding to a domestic call in a small town of the hospital. No word yet on their conditions or the circumstances surrounding the shooting but a search is now under way for the suspect. We will bring you more details as we get them. In the meantime, General Motors is planning to lay off more than 2,000 workers at its car factories in ohio and michigan.

A second truck was brought in, and the worker thankfully was pulled to safety. And finally, all those people who said they were moving to canada if donald trump was elected, well, guess what, they have a cheaper way to get there. Spirit airlines is out wit go north sale promising 75 off flights. There is a slight catch, spirit will fly you to upstate new york then its up to you to make what the airline calls a short drive to the border right there at niagara falls.

This is atlanta, georgia. The skyline that you can barely see through the smoke and haze. This is what the folks of the southeast are dealing with. Thanks to those fires. Look at the fires in north carolina. Now there are dozens on the map and these are places that havent had rain in more than a month in some place, more than a month and a half in other spots.

Move on now to more from presidt he is unprecedented in so many ways, including a number of active lawsuits and business conflicts that trail him to the white house. Brian ross here with the details. The most highprofile trial has a key hearing today. Thats right, george, good morning, while the president elect begins to make his plans to run the country his lawyers in court today in san diego dealing with one of the dozens of active lawsuits against him involving allegations of fraud, Sexual Harassment and failure to pay reporter todays hearing involves one of the three lawsuits over Trump University. Success, its going to happ to you. Reporter students who paid a 35,000 fee claim that now president elect committed fraud when he falsely told them he had personally selected the faculty. The actual trial is set to begin at the end of the month presided over by the san diego federal judge trump accused during the campaign of bias because he is of mexican heritage. Hes a hater. His name is he is not doing the right thing. Reporter in addition to the Trump University case can you raise your right hand . Yes. Reporter there are at least 30 other significant cases in which the president elect is being sued or suing for issues that happened before he was elected. The rule is that theres no immunity from suit for anything that happened before. Reporter and during the candidate threatened to bring his own set of lawsuits against the women who claimed he had sexually assaulted them. Their lawyer says, bring it on. Right now, they have no present intention to sue him first. But if he sues them, we will defend them vigorously. Reporter trumps business interests may also create conflicts for the soontobe president. In the midst of the camp took time off to promote his brand with the trip to his golf course in scotland and later opening a new hotel in washington. Trump has had extensive ties with several russian oligarchs close to vladimir putin. He and his children have sought investments with controversial overseas figures. And ethics experts say his plan to let his children run his Business Empire as though it were a blind trust is not blind at all. Irs. Mr. Trump has said his tax returns are being audited by the irs. As President Trump will elect and select the new head of the agency even as his employees are poring over how he avoided paying any federal income tax at all over the last two decades. A lot of different issues raised there. Lets bring in dan abrams for more on this. Lets start out with the lawsuit in court today. Likely a lot of pressure on mr. Trump to settle this. Thats right because, remember, actually be in court for a civil case. But when hes deposed or he has to testify he has to show up. And there is precedent for this. Remember, this happened with the paula jones lawsuit and bill clinton case. The u. S. Supreme court actually weighed in on this. And said a sitting president is not immune from a civil lawsuit. Likely settlement. Correct but the court specifically said, the courts have to work around the scheduling aspects of a president , so there is a because the scheduling would be so hard, lets postpone this. Lets delay this, but i think there is going to be a lot of pressure to continue this. But donald trump would only need to be there when he is testifying. Thats the distraction issue. If he takes the risk of going to trial and be convicted that could be an impeachable offense. No, theyre only for something you do while youre president so you cant impeach someone for stuff that they did before they became president. So if he is president an something happens thats a different story from something that happened before he became president. And these issues of conflict of interest. These are also civil. Most of them. We have to be careful in distinguishing between civil and criminal although there are some criminal investigations as well. On the issue of his business, the president isnt bound by any conflict of interest laws. Just more considered an ethical code that has been adhered to, but, boy, a lot of questions to be asked when you talk about his family taking over his businesses as to what going to have that with that business and what relationship that has with the government. Thanks very much. Over to michael. All right, george. Coming up on our big board, Donald Trumps election surprise. So many of the polls will guide him wrong except for one. What their secret was. And actor and trump supporter, Stephen Baldwin is here. His brother, famously plays trump on snl. Hes going to tell us how their family is dealing with their different political views and how yours can too. Well be back with that in just two minutes. Look at our panel. You brush your teeth diligently. Two times a day right . But 80 of bacteria arent even on teeth. Eughty purschunt . colgate totals different. It fights bacteria on teeth, tongue, cheeks and gums. Protecting 100 of your mouths surfaces. Colgate total for whole mouth health. My dad gave me those shares, he ran that company. I get it. But you know i think you own too much. Gotta manage your risk. An honest opinion time now for the big board. Our team of insiders standing by to weigh in live. We have speechb bald Stephen Baldwin here at the table, and well talk to you in a minute. But we begin with the pollsters, the fallout from the election and the election stunner, just about every poll got it wrong except for the usc l. A. Times poll. Which pretty consistently had trump in the lead. You took a lot of criticism for months. What did you see that others we did take a lot of criticism, and on the whole, were pretty happy with how our poll performed. One big difference between the way we do our poll and how others did is the fact that we work with panel of members over time. So thats pretty much the same people over the course of an election. While other pollsters may talk to different people each time. And in an election season when many people may have felt shy choice, this allowed us to build trust with our panelists and i think that it allowed us to see the entire spectrum of the vote. Now, even though your results, you were one of the few that did get it right, were you surprised so many other people got it wrong . Well, this was a very difficult election to poll in. And a big difference, another big difference between the way that we do our polling and how others do is that rather than asking a traditional up and down question of how did how would pedal today, we asked people to give us the percent likelihood that they will vote for a candidate. And this is sort of gives us sort of a fever chart or a look into the intensity of the vote. So perhaps someone may be a 100 clinton supporter one week and then the comey fbi emails break and theyre 75 clinton supporter the next week. And sorry. No, no, no. Im just maybe its a new way to conduct the polls in this is something. You made your bones on this one. Thank you very much. Thank you, jill. We move on now to the best way to deal with the end of the election. Some voters are overjoyed while others are a little disappointed and now some doctors are talking about postelection stress disorder and clinical psychologist dr. Elizabeth lombardo is here with us and, okay, dr. Lombardo, is this a real thing . Postelection stress disorder is a real phenomenon that a lot of people are experiencing right now, and it comes out in maybe in your mood, you notice yourself filing more irritable or angry, or worried or helpleshelple helpless. It can come out in your body with headaches, and g. I. Distress, and inability to sleep and maybe you ha it can affect your relationships because when youre feeling irritable we tend to take it out on our loved ones and perpetuates the stress cycle . How should people deal with it . The first thing to do limit your social media. Theres something called a filter bubble which means that the people who have the similar lines for you are at the top of your feed. So if youre a disappointed clinton supporter going to facebook may be filled with a lot of helplessness and sadness which unfortunately supports the problem as opposed to the solution. Secondly, focus on what you want as opposed to what you dont want. And third of all, volunteer. Help out someone else so it will finally sit in front of a nice fire with a good book. We like your fire there. Thank you. Were going to talk to Stephen Baldwin now, and, stephen, Hillary Clinton youre clapping. That was so wonderful. She said talk about your postelection stress disorder. Okay . I keep having this nightmare every saturday night. I dont know why that my big brother is picking on mr. Trump. Well, he actually responded in his show. Take a look at this. She can brag about her resume but im the one whos got all the heavy hitters supporting me. I mean, i have got the cream of the crop. Ive got sarah palin. Ive got chachi. And get this, ive even got the best baldwin brother, Stephen Baldwin. But, you know, you were out there and one of the few actors out there to support donald trump. You and scott me and scott baio, baby. Thats it. Go ahead. No, were the voters rejecting hollywood . I had a fun conversation with alec a couple of weeks back where literally we were at his house at home with the kids floating in the Swimming Pool having a good time. He said, so your boys basically kind of handing us this election, dont you think . And i went, i got a funny feeling you need to be more prepared for a trump president than i do a hillary president. You know, and the thing that is so overwhelming for me this morning is i stayed at mr. Trumps hotel last night with all those protesters outside. And it really freaked me out, you know, because i can be all happy or excited about the outcome, but then it was like a wave of reality to say, like, theres folks out there that still dont agree with all this and this is what makes the country so amazing is right now we, the people, all of us have an amazing opportunity to demonstrate the greatness of our freedom and our vote and our best to try to pay it forward and do the right thing and just say, if you agree or not, the cool thing to do is really give mr. Trump the opportunity. Its difficult. I saw a lot of young people out there that you could see it was a lot of messaging from the media that was driving their anger and this and that. And im just going to be praying that everybody comes together and really gives mr. Trump an opportunity to do the right thing and create even those people who doubted him. But you said you were at the hotel last night. You were at the victory party. Sure. The other night. What was it behind the scenes there . How was it . I think people were just as shocked as a lot of people who didnt vote for mr. Trump, but this is whats cool. Before the mood seemed a little docile. It was amy robach was there. It was, like, very quiet, and then all of a sudden, the mood happi happier. Once florida came in and cutting to headquarters for mrs. Clinton and headquarters from and this is just its an anomaly. Weve never seen this before. This type of a victory. Rand paul said something two days ago that was amazing. He said euric, you know, you got your east coast with the wall street, your west coast with the hollywood folks, and now you got a whole a lot of people in between all that that just demonstrated how theyre feeling. And for me its like i said last night as much as i wanted to go out and say to a bunch of young people, hey, stop, everybody, cant we all just get along, i realized that i have to respect those people. I have to respect them. Both president obama and Hillary Clinton yesterday echoed what you were saying, they were saying give president elect trump a chance. What do you think he should do to address those protests and that pain . Listen. I think starting with this network and every other network, its important that we focus on and not focus on all this his lawsuits, and i know its news. I know its news, but people have to kind of again. Before the election, i said, lets focus on who is the right person. That decision has been made. Now we have to do our best to just continue to positively to do unto others as you would have them do unto great verse in second chronicles, people if my people would humble themselves and pray i would hear their pray and i would heal their land. Thats a powerful thought. Hopefully you and your brother are talking now. Youre back on good terms. I might need you, michael. Youre yourn own with that one. How late night comics are helping with postelection stress and well have their best jokes coming up. First thing i did was call my high school bully. Chool bully. S its perfect.

Here you go. I had the weirdest, weirdest remember that guy who used to host the [ laughter ] i dreamed we elected him president. The big story is that america woke up this morning and was like did i do that . This morning you finally woke up from a coma, well, you might want to go back. What we did was the democratic equivalent of installing an aboveground pool. Even if were lucky and it doesnt seep into our foundation foundations, our neighbors will never look at us the same way again. We put our 8monthold son to bed and i was holding him and said when you wake up tomorrow morning we might have our first female president and then when we came home around midnight, i went into his room, shook his crib until he woke up and screamed, we have to get out of here i watched News Coverage all night last night and it was especially interesting to watch the change in tone as the night progressed. The evening went on, and the results came in, almost every anchor looked like a child slowly realizing that no one was showing up to his birthday party.

Look at this wonderful audience that we have with us and weve got this thursday morning, weve got a lot coming up here, michael. Yes, we do. I want to talk to you about weddings how many of us have been to weddings and then someone has given a toast and youre just sitting there going, hurry up, get this over with. Everybody, right . Well, i got a toast that may change your opinion on this. This one, it blew me away when i saw this. Lets just say, it would make the Founding Fathers very proud. Take a look at this. How does a met fan, golfer, long island boy, an accountant, dropped right in the melting pot, yes, new york city, aint shows, go meet this jew from california, you know where this story goes. Yes, jenna rotner, the oldest daughter of my father, she moved to the big apple with some pressure from her mother who said time to be a wife, this year you saw your life. Israeli mothers, a sharper edge than any knife. [ cheers and applause ] wow. That was that was awesome. The guy who did it matt rotner a audience. There you go, matt. That was great. Well done. So what inspired you to say, okay, your sister jenna got married to ross and you said, im going to come up with this hamilton inspired rap. So im very close with my sister jenna and her now crazy to say her husband russ so i figured i had to do something unconventional to be memorable and i had to create a moment that we would share that was truly unforgettable. Its because weddings are big and they call for celebration so it hit me last year when we took ross to see a show and made the decision that i would not speak in prose and it inspired these rhymes and make you think of dr. Seuss but Linmanuel Miranda is where i got my muse, he wrote Alexander Hamiltons our Founding Fathers anthem so i decided to write my own song i wrote my own tribute to the tandem and i guess the spot went well. Im now on gma and im not going to throw away my shot because this is going to be their day so all right. Thank you, thank you. I did not see that coming. Me neither. He stood up and i was like, security. I have a question, though. Everybody is wondering how long did it take to come up with that . So, it took so it was really inspired when i saw hamilton last year. I saw it last october and jenna and ross got he proposed a few weeks prior and in my family we have this whole at big events and i lost my ability to sing a long, long time ago so i thought, right when i saw hamilton it ended, the song i did and i literally turned to my nom and said, you know what, this is not my mother, but i said, i said, i know exactly what im doing at their wedding, because i knew i could put on a huge show and i knew i could do something that was truly unforgettable for that big day and i didnt have to sing a note so it was great. Yeah. Im sure it was a big hit. Im sure everybody enjoyed it. Yeah, it went over pretty well. Two of my bosses are actually in the crowd so i wanted to make sure i didnt screw up. The look on their faces you did great. Im sure you knocked it out of the box. He did. Congratulations to you and your sister. Right there a man who could nail a job interview. No question about that. But all of us have had some tough ones, right . Ooh. Job interviews. Yeah. Yeah. Well, wow, that was a lot of yeahs right there. You can relax, a friend of mine just wrote an article saying job interviews are useless. They are . Hes right. You like that idea right there. And heres why, he says, theyve done a lot of studies that show when you compare tests, aptitude tests or intelligence tests, the tests are a much better predictor but people who do the interviews dont believe it. Everybody think when were doing the interviewing for the job we do a better job. Turns out what is happening you just confirm what you already sort of believed going in your First Impression as oppose to really paying attention to the skills. And to the calls that they bring to the table. You can relax. No more interviews, guys. You heard it from george. Do you remember your worst interview . Oh, gosh, i dont want to relive it, please. I just remember i had this hideous blue shirt and white little crisp shirt. I remember panicking for one, a job i really, really wanted but it was in a different city and i had one of those days where the planes were late, sitting on the tarmac and completely missed the interview. Didnt matter there either. I did get the job. You did. Of course, he got the job. Its george stephanopoulos. Got the job. He didnt know what a nutribullet was, okay, so i didnt know if he got the job or not. Cant assume everything, agree. Thats it. Finally we have somebody who is here. Yeah, we have this lets move over.
