Returning to studio 57 with his way forward for defeated democrats. But we begin with a look at todays eye opener. Your world in 90 seconds. On election night, i heard you went completely silent. I realized that this is a whole different life for me now. President elect trump speaks to a divided nation. Are you in any way intimidated, scared, about the gravity of what youre taking on . I respect it. But im not scared by it. Do you think that the campaign has hurt the trump brand . I dont think it matters. This is so much more important. And more serious. This is our country. I dont care about hotel occupancy. Its peanuts compared to what were doing. Antitrump protesters gathered for the filth straight day across the country. Reject the president elect a powerful earthquake has rocked new zealand. Streets cracked, buildings damaged. And land slides blocked several roads. It just didnt stop. Dozens of wild fires are burning across the southeast, and fire officials believe many have been deliberately set. The moon is the closest its ever been to birth in six decades. The well advertised super moon, no im not going to howl for you. Security justice rooth Bader Ginsberg has been moon lighting. She made her opera debut. Three for the tsh. Wow and seattles going to win it. And all that matters. He did it. Hes our president. I feel bad saying im staying in a trump hotel right now. I dont know if hes going to make a good president but he makes a swell hotel, ill tell you that much. Cbs this morning. Im hoping hillary can finally have some time for herself like the day after the election she was already spotted hiking in the woods near her house and weirdly she had already grown out a full David Letterman retirement beard. This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. The Trump Administration is taking shape starting with two important choices for Top White House roles. Republican Party ChairmanReince Priebus will be the new president s chief of staff. And campaign ceo steve bannon will be mr. Trumps steve strategist. Bannon is also a leader of the so called altright conservative Online Movement and mr. Trump says priebus the insider and bannon the outsider will be equal partners in the white house. The president elect and his family spoke with lesley stahl of 60 minutes in their first tv interview since the election. Were happy to have lesley with us here in studio 57. She asked mr. Trump about visiting president obama. His vow to investigate Hillary Clinton. And reports his supporters are harassing minorities. Im very surprised to hear that. How i hate to hear that. I mean i hate you do hear it. I dont hear it. Youre not i saw one or two instances. On social media . Its very small amount. Again i think its do you want to say anything to those people . I would say dont do it. Thats terrible. Because im going to bring this country together. Theyre harassing latinos, muslims. I am so saddened to hear that. And i say stop it. If it if it helps, i will say this, and ill say it right to the cameras, stop it. When they demonstrate against you, and there are signs out there, i mean dont you say to yourself, i guess you dont, you know, do i have to worry about this . Do i have to go out and assuage them . Do i have to tell them not to be afraid . Theyre afraid. I would tell them dont be afraid. Absolutely. Thats not what youre saying. I said it. No, i think no, no, im saying it. Ive been saying it. Dont be afraid. Okay. We are going to bring our country back. But certainly dont be afraid. You looked pretty sober sitting there in the oval office. Did something wash over you . I think im a sober person. I think the press tries to make you into something a little bit different. In my case, a little bit of a wild man. Im not. Im actually not. Im a very sober person. But, it was respect for the office, it was respect for the president. Again, i never met him before, but we had we had a very Good Chemistry going. We never discussed what we said about each other. I said terrible things about him. He said terrible things about me. We never, ever discussed what we said about each other. There was no awkwardness . Ill be honest, from my standpoint, zero. Zero. And thats strange. Im actually surprised to tell you that. You said that lobbyists own politicians. Yeah. Because they give them money. You admitted you used to do it yourself. Sure. You have a lobbyists and special interests. You want to get rid of all of that. I dont like it, no. You dont like it. But your own Transition Team is filled with lobbyists. The only people you have down there. You have lobbyists from verizon. Lobbyists from the oil gas industry. Food lobbyists. Everybody is a lobbyist down there. Theyre lobbyists and special interests. How can you clean everything down there, you know, people theyre all people that work thats the problem with the system. The system. Right now, were going to clean it up. Were having restrictions on foreign money coming in. Were going to put on term limits. Which a lot of people arent happy about. But were putting on term limits. Were doing a lot of things to clean up the system. Will you appoint, are you looking to appoint a justice who wants to overturn roe v. Wade. So heres whats going to happen. Im going to put im prolife. The judges will be prolife. Theyll be what about overturning there are a couple of things. Theyll be prolife. Theyll be in terms of the whole gun situation, we know the second amendment, and everybodys talking about the second amendment, and theyre trying to dice it up and change it. Theyre going to be very prosecond amendment. But, having to do with the abortion, what it if it ever were overturned, it would go back to the states. So, it would go back to the states. Then some women wont be able to get an abortion. No it will go back to the states. By state theyll perhaps have to go to another state. And thats okay . Well, well see what happens. Its got a long way to go. Are you going to ask for a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton over her emails, and are you, as you had said to her face, going to try and put her in jail . Well, ill tell you what im going to do. Im going to think about it. I feel that i want to focus on jobs. I want to focus on health care. You called her crooked hillary. Said you wanted to get her to go to jail. Your people in your audiences kept saying lock him up. Yeah. Now do you want she did some bad things. I know. But a special prosecutor . I dont want to hurt them. I dont want to hurt them. Theyre good people. I dont want to hurt them. And i will give you a very, very good and definitive answer the next time we do 60 minutes together. Lesley stall is with us. Lesley, good morning. Good morning. Let me ask you this, first, youve interviewed him as a candidate. And now after he has won the presidency. Did you get a sense that hes changed . I did. You could see it in his body language. You could see it hear it in the timber of his voice. Hes taking an obviously very seriously. I think sitting there, it was sinking in. I think its sinking in just for the few days since the election. He even talked about how huge this is. And it is. The enormity. The gravity of it is is sort of weighing on him now. And he wants to present himself as a serious person, he understands he has all these issues. He wants the public to know, i think, that he is going to take it really, really seriously. Theres a report in the wall street journal today, that mr. Trump did not even realize most of the west wing staff were political appointees. That that came up in his 90 minute conversation with president obama. Now that president obama feels like he will have to spend time, additional time advising trump as president. I got the feeling that president obama would love to advise him. Because apparently, they talked about obamacare, and the president kind of made a pitch, to keep parts of obamacare. And now he said he would keep parts so i think the president feels oh, maybe i would persuade the guy. Tell him about how he might use obama. He said, president elect here, im going to seek his counsel. He did say that. Thats because many people lesley when he said those words out loud i think that the president , in being so respectful to him, i think donald trump went in there not knowing what he was going to get, given the fact did the birther issue, and some of the other nasty things he had said. Mr. Trump had said about the president. He didnt know what to expect. He got this graciousness. He got a man really offering to help in a very constructive way. And that their meeting went on so long. He said, it could have gone on for four hours. We had to break it off, as if he didnt want to. But there there was a rapport. You know, all the president s, past president s, have a little club. Yes. Who else is going to understand the burden . Mmhmm. And i think obama talked to him, mantoman, about the constant pressure. Trump talked about apparently trump wanted to talk about the middle east, and north africa and north korea. And, and so they must have done sort of what youd call a tour de raison. They went around the issues that are most prominently on a president s plate. Was he caught off by the protests in the street. He seemed im not aware of it. He knew about the protests in the street because theyre right in front of trump tower. Yeah but he said i dont know much about that. That was when i asked him about some of the racial threats. Mmhmm. That are going on. And problems in schools and things like that. He said he didnt know too much about that. He certainly knows about the demonstrators. Mmhmm. And he feels that you know he had tweeted out that they were professional protesters. Then he sent the second tweet saying you know, everything, like kind of taking back but with me, again he went back to the professional he really has a deep animosity to the press. And he feels that the press is part of were whipping it up. Great job. Really great job. Bravo lesley stahl. Well have more of lesleys interview with the president elect in our next half hour. Well look at his plan for the Trump Organization. Plus the potential conflicts of interest he faces. President elect trump has thousands more government positions to fill before inauguration day. They include 15 cabinet secretaries. Cbs news confirms the top contenders include former new york city mayor Rudy Giuliani for attorney general. Republican senator Jeff Sessions for defense secretary. And conservative radio host Laura Ingraham is on the short list of candidates to be White House Press secretary. Chip reid is at the white house. Hes following the trump transition. Chip . Trump, chip, good morning. Sorry about that, chip. Its okay. Well, good morning. After a campaign in which president elect trump laid out a series of controversial policies Top Republicans are trying to provide clarity and uniting behind mr. Trump and asking the country to do the same. We are not planning on erecting a deportation force. Donald trumps not plank on that. Theyll subject them to extreme vetting but not a ban. President elect Donald TrumpsTransition Team and republican members of congress were out in full force sunday trying to calm an anxious nation. Donald trump has to be donald trump, and the country will organize itself around who he is. Reporter white house chief of staff will be rnc chairman Reince Priebus, who convinced many Establishment Republicans to support mr. Trumps unconventional candidacy. But the choice of Stephen Bannon as chief strategist and Senior Adviser is a very antiestablishment move. As Breitbart News ceo bannon has been criticized for using his site as a platform for the altright movement which has been linked to white nationalism. Bannon also used his news service to bash House Speaker paul ryan for withholding his endorsement. I trust donalds judgment. I think hes going to pick who he thinks will best serve him. Speaker ryan expressed confidence in the president elects staffing process. Hes a successful person. He surrounds himself with successful people. So im confident hes going to do the same here. Reporter as for the protests spurred by trumps victory, Campaign ManagerKellyanne Conway challenged them to help bridge the national divide, pointing to outgoing senator harry reid who in a statement called the president elect a sexual predator who lost the popular vote and fuelled his campaign with bigotry and hate. The Senate Minority leader acting like some garden variety political pundit. Thats whats got to stop. Reporter mr. Trump is already hearing criticism for his choice of steve bannon. The Antidefamation League put out a statement that reads in part, it is a sad day when a man who presided over a looseknit group of white nationalists and racists is slated to be a senior staff member in the peoples house. Norah . All right, chip thank you so much. On sundays 60 minutes lesley stahl also asked the president elect about immigration, and his Campaign Promise to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, theres a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could even be 3 million, were getting them out of our country, or were going to incarcerate. But, were getting them out of our country. Theyre here illegally. After the border is secured, and after everything gets normalized were going to make a determination on the people that youre talking about, who are terrific people. Theyre terrific people. But were going to make a determination. House Majority Leader Kevin Mccarthy is with us now from washington. Good morning. Good morning. Thanks for having me. Let me begin with this paul ryan speaker of the house had said that we are not planning on erecting a deportation force. You just heard what the president elect has said about maybe a large number of people who are criminals. Give us a sense of is there division between Republican Leadership and president elect on exactly what to do about immigration, including the wall, including deportation . Now, remember, first, were not even a week away from this election. Were just now coming back into session right now. I think the one Common Ground that everybody is going to find, republican and democrat, is securing our border. Even the bill that passed in the senate, led by schumer in that respect, put a great deal of money, billions of dollars, into protecting the border. So i think thats the place well find Common Ground. What president elect donald trump is talking about is those who have broken felonies, and thats just thats not a new law. Thats upholding current law on the deportation. How many people is that . Two to three million . I dont theres a lot of different numbers out there. And i dont know the exact number. I mean, look, thats nothing new. If somebody has broken a major felony, do you still want them inside the country when they broke the law to come in in the first place . What do you make so far, congressman, of the appointments that the president elect has made, with Reince Priebus and steve bannon . Well, i think it tells a lot. One thing that you will find between those two gentlemen, and i spoke with both of them last night, and with president elect donald trump, they forged a relationship. When you go through a campaign, and even a campaign as high as the president youve gone through ups and downs but you create a relationship together and see how to work to the. I think he was able to bond the different parts of that campaign and show that they can Work Together. Im hopeful that we give donald trump an opportunity. That he can put out policies, and can move together to bring the country united. Mr. Leader as you know, trump is facing some criticism for bringing steve bannon into the white house. The Antidefamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center have both suggested that his website has ties to white nationalism, especially accusing breitbart of a white ethno pr propagandist point of view. Bannon has been out running a campaign of donald trump. Donald trump has the opportunity to find those that he thinks that he trusts. They Work Together with Reince Priebus. Look at the job that reince has done since taking over in the rnc Republican National committee when we were in the minority. Look at the number of governships. The majority in the house and the senate and now the presidency. I dont think many people would look back and say that that could happen. That was pretty much a little impossibility and he brought a lot of people together to make it happen. But has the altright become a credible part of the republican constituency . And with a voice now to be heard in washington . When you come into my office, the portrait that sits behind my desk is Abraham Lincoln the very first president and the founding within the Republican Party and i think that is the core of what republicans firmly believe and always will believe. All right. Congressman kevin mccarthy. We thank you so much for joining us this morning. Thanks so much for having me. Youre welcome. It was a rare and beautiful sight in the sky. Causing problems here on earth. Ahead how the historic super moon is making water rise
