Well, i just had the opportunity to have an excellent conversation with president elect trump. Reporter the moment that will go down in history, the first meeting between president obama and president elect donald trump. I have been very encouraged by the i think interest in president elect trumps wanting to work with of the issues that this great country faces. I want to emphasize to you, mr. President elect, that we now are going to want to do everything we can to help you succeed because if you succeed, then the country succeeds.

Dont answer questions when they start yelling at you. Its always the last one. Reporter we tried anyway and got an answer from donald trump. Mr. Trump, youll seek his counsel .

Very good reporter and the current first lady met the with future first lady sharing tea and Melania Trump already changing her Instagram Account to read first lady despite the remarkable gestures of graciousness on both sides, the bad blood remains.

And, jon, this was the first time trump appeared in front of the media since the election. Room . Reporter first of all it lasted a lot longer than expected. We were brought to outside the door of the oval office by the rose garden had to wait for about an hour before we were finally allowed in. It struck me that there really wasnt the tension that i would have expected or the awkwardness. Donald trump seemed rather subdued. Seemed to be taken in by the seriousness about what is about to happen. Also yesterday the trump team did not allow media to accompany him on the plane there to what do you anticipate in terms of access to a President Trump . Reporter amy that, is absolutely without precedent, every president and every president elect since john f. Kennedy has had a media poll thats gone wherever they have gone. There were times here in washington where the press poll had no idea where donald trump was and in fact, they thought he was staying here overnight and ended up flying back to new york and something he didnt realize until he was seen at the airport without precedent. Top of it. Lets talk to Reince Priebus. Thanks for joining us. Congratulations on your victory. President elect trump pulled you up on stage and gave you big credit. Are you prepared now to serve in his administration perhaps as white house chief of staff . Well, i dont have any updates for you on transition, im at the rnc, as you know and i appreciate ground effort thats ever been seen at any National Party effort. Im very proud of what weve done at the Republican National committee. But it ultimately starts with a great candidate and the American People had a choice and they went to donald trump and we swept through the midwest and had a great night and all the kudos go to president elect trump. You are close to both president elect trump and speaker of the house paul ryan. They have tough times during the hatchet and does president elect trump want paul ryan to return as speaker . Well, i can answer the question, i mean, all those details im sure are in the affirmative but i dont speak for the president elect trump but as far as yesterday is concerned they had a great day. I heard from both paul or excuse me speaker ryan and president elect trump and they both indicated back to me that they had a great day and mutual admiration and, look, the truth is you saw what the president yesterday and president elect trump, these are likable people and in private, like a lot of people even more likable, so you had a tenminute minute that went 90 minutes because both of these guys probably had a great time together and i can tell you personally, president elect trump in private is the kind of guy that most people would want president obama is the same way. Theyre likable people and likable people tend to get elected. There was a lot of good will and conciliation in washington yesterday. Theres no question about that but still seeing a lot of anger out on the streets of this country and protests in several cities overnight for the second straight night. I was struck by the front page of usa today today talked about the rise in racist acts following this election. Theres an awful lot of anger and feel still out country. Whats your recommendation to president elect trump for how to address that . Well, i mean, just like two mornings ago he talked about bringing america together. He took out all the, you know, all sort of the victory rhetoric was out of the speech, talking about everyone coming together, race, religion, background, gender, thats what donald trump believes in. Thats what i believe in, thats what our party believes in. Im not sure why some of these things are going on. It was the democrats that willing to accept the outcome of the election. Now he won fairly overwhelmingly although close, but electoral collegewise pretty clear. Yeah, but he lost the popular vote. But understood but its the other side now that doesnt want to accept the fact that they lost the election. So, look, i think Everyone Needs to just take a deep breath, take the weekend. Todays veterans day. Count our blessings and lets come back on monday and i can assu yesterday from donald trump is exactly the man that ive gotten to know. Youre absolutely right. Willing to bring people together. Youre absolutely right about the speech he gave on wednesday morning and the tweet he sent out just moments ago but also sent out that other tweet talking about professional protesters incited by the media. You say you dont know whats going on behind the scenes. Do you believe these are professionals incited by the media . I dont know, george. I mean, what i do know, though and i think what president elect clear that at least in the emails that were released that we had the dnc, the Hillary Clinton campaign or someone in between going to donald trump rallies and inciting violence and so that happened and so there are such things as professional protesters, but im sure that the vast majority of people are just very disappointed with the outcome of the election so ill give them that and ill also say i understand the First Amendment of the bill of election is over now, and we have a president elect who has done everything he can do over the last 48 hours to say, lets bring people together. He had a great meeting with the current president , they had a good time. I can tell you personally i talked to president elect trump. He genuinely enjoyed that meeting. That was not show. He enjoyed the meeting with president obama. He was very impressed with as far as like them getting along. And i think people need to take a deep breath, take the day, count our blessings and enjoy the weekend. Mr. Chairman, again, congratulations. Thanks for joining us this morning. You bet. Thank you. Lets talk more now about Donald Trumps next steps and the International Reaction to his election so lets bring in tom llamas and Martha Raddatz in washington. You followed the Trump Campaign from the beginning and will continue to follow we heard Reince Priebus there not committing to whether or not he was being considered for chief of staff but who are some of the top picks for president elect trump and his new administration. I thought that was incredibly telling with george. Lets put up faces this. Is for chief of staff, first Reince Priebus, the chairman of the rny did not tell george no just now and sources within the campaign told us he was incredibly helpful during the president ial debates and built a bond with donald trump. Then governor chris christie. He shocked the political world surprise press conference, yet, he has bridgegate hanging over him and still part of the transition team, steve ban non. Ill never forget that call about a man named steve bannon, one of the top dogs at breitbart but connected on a personal level with donald trump and he was part of the winning team and Jared Kushner, the soninlaw, married to ivanka, a person we dont see a lot in public or speaks a lot in public, we should say but s private to trump and well have more on him in the next half hour. What about the picks for possible National Security positions in a Trump Administration . Well, weve got jeff sessions, senator corker, mike flynn, the general who has been with him all along, were not positive about any of this. Newt gingrich and he will probably bring in some republican establishment figures, perhaps in that National Security team, george. And, martha, on those big starting to speak out to speak to foreign leaders including the leader of south korea reassuring her yesterday but has big promises on the board like punishing china over their currency, renegotiating a nafta, building that wall on the border. Scrapping the iran nuclear agreement. Where do you see this going right now . How realistic is it for him to be able to implement these things in these first days. First of all, the response around the world has been congratulatory and on the iran nuclear deal, iran says they will continue to abide by it, but tearing it up will be difficult if theres not an alternate plan and this was not something the u. S. Did alone. On the muslim ban he later proposed it would be where terrorism was a problem and the wall, mexicos president says hes eager to work with president elect trump but no way they will pay for a wall but i think the world is waiting to any word, tom, on when well hear about his top posts. When will he decide . The clock is ticking. We know sol of his top advisers have reached out to potential candidates and heard reuters report that jamie dimon from jpmorgan, coceo is possibly the second of treasury but all speculation right now. Tom llamas, Martha Raddatz, thank you. Michael, you have financial headlines. The worldwide reaction to Donald Trumps electionment now were seeing some of wall his big bounce in the stock market after the election. Rebecca jarvis is at the New York Stock Exchange and, rebecca, the dow closed at a record high last night. Thats right, michael. The do you at a new alltime high. Stocks are now up 7. 8 and since the election theyre up 2. 7 . For the typical 401 k , that means the typical 401 k has added about 2,000 since election day with wall street regulation, but today things are looking like they might turn out a little bit weaker, michael, as wall street anticipates what trumps policies on immigration as well as corporations are going forward, michael. All right, thank you, rebecca. Now to the wildfires in the southeast. Theyre in a state of emergency. State of emergency for parts of tennessee and other state, as well. Ill detail all of that. But first the image going overhead, so many folks in the southeast are seeing this. That is from north carolina. Burning and many of them are in the southeastern united states.
