And hello again from fox well, just two days after the New York Times said the trump transition was in disarray, the president elect named much of his National Security team. Thats far ahead of the timeline of other incoming president s. Congressman mike pompeo to lead the cia, senator Jeff Sessions as attorney general, and general Michael Flynn to be National Security adviser. In a moment, well speak live with the Vice President elect, governor mike pence, whos about whats next. But we begin with fox news correspondent brian yennis outside Trump National golf club in new jersey, where mr. Trump is conducting job interviews this weekend. Brian . Reporter hi, chris. Well, governor mitt romney met with president elect trump yesterday here in his new jersey golf clubhouse for nearly 90 minutes. The trump team characterizing the conversation as extremely positive and productive. Romney, who called trump a conman during the campaign could be a candidate for secretary of state. We had a farreaching conversation with regards to the various theaters in the world where there are interests of the United States of real significant. We discussed those areas and exchanged our views on those topics. Reporter mr. Trump and his Vice President elect mike pence retired marine general james mattis. They discussed isis, china t and nato. A senior trump official tells us mattis is a strong candidate to be defense secretary. Today the president elect will meet with seven others, including governor chris christie, who was recently ousted as chairman of trumps transition team, and mayor Rudy Giuliani, both trump loyalists eyeing cabinet positions. After a week of nonstop meetings, mr. Trump gave reporters two thumbs up last transition was going. Were seeing tremendous talent, people that, as i say, we would make America Great again. Reporter the president elect says theres a good possibility we can expect to hear more cabinet announcements today. Chris . Bryan, thanks for that. Joining us now live is the head of the transition, Vice President elect mike pence, for his first interview since the news sunday, and congratulations, sir. Thank you, chris. Great to be back. Couldnt be more honored and humbled to have the opportunity to serve with president elect donald trump and to see the energy that hes brought, the leadership hes brought to this effort since literally hours after the election was called has been truly inspiring. As we just reported, the president elect met with a wide range of people yesterday, michelle rhee. So far the people that he has appointed have all been loyalists and frankly all white men. My question, sir, is will we see a diversity of opinion in the trump administration, and frankly, will we see a diversity of gender and race . Well, clearly the president elect is a man who knows his mind, knows where he wants to take this country. He laid out an agenda to make world, to revive the american economy. Hes going to surround himself with men and women from diverse backgrounds who are going to help him move that agenda forward. But i have to tell you, to be alongside him in these meetings, to be here at Trump National yesterday, to see men and women coming through with extraordinary backgrounds, another round of those today, we have been working at his direction headlong to bring together people from all across this country who on day one to begin to move that agenda to really result in a stronger and more prosperous america. I couldnt be more honored to be a part of it, chris. Let me see if i can get you to make some news. Someone close to the transition tells me the meeting with mitt romney yesterday actually went better than expected given their history with each other and that hes now a contender for secretary of state, although Rudy Giuliani may be the front runner still. Is, quote, likely for secretary of defense. I want to put up a tweet that donald trump sent out this morning. General james mad dog mattis, whos being considered for secretary of defense, was very impressive yesterday, a true generals general. Sounds like hes got the job, sir. Well, stay tuned as the president elect works through all of those decisions. I can tell you that theyll be co i think you said it at the top of the show, though. While some in the National Media were wringing their hands early this week, weve been working from literally hours after the election was called to move this transition forward. Im honored to be serving as the chair of it. To have someone like general mattis to sit before us yesterday, someone with a legendary military career and to be able to talk to him about the challenges facing america and our National Security and i president elect was very grateful. Governor mitt romney came in. They had a good meeting. It was a warm and substantive exchange. I know hes under active consideration to be the secretary of state of the United States along with other distinguished americans. Just one quick thing on romney. Was there any talk about the terrible things they said about each other . Well, we spent about an hour together with the team, side of the table and some of the team on the other side with governor romney. We talked through a lot of substantive issues. They did have some private time together. You can ask either one of them what they talked about. But these are two people that earned their partys nomination. One was successful and won a mandate from the American People earlier this month. Another one fought hard to do that four years ago. I can just report to you that it importantly, the American People, it was a very substantive conversation. I know the president elect was grateful that mitt romney came here to Trump National and spent some time and is willing to be considered for this Important Role at such an important time in the life of our nation. Lets talk about your role. The president elect has made you the head of the transition. You seem from your visits to be his main link to congress. Some are comparing you to dick cheney, who played a introducing another newcomer to washington back in 2000, george w. Bush. What do you think of the cheney comparison . Well, i have high regard for the service that Vice President cheney provided to the United States, but the person that will define my role is the president elect of the United States of america. And what has he said about that role . Some people have said that hes going to be the ceo and youre operating officer. Well, let me be very clear. President elect donald trump, when he becomes President Donald Trump on january 20th, will be the one leading the trump administration. Ill be providing a supporting role. I do think the president elect has a great appreciation for my relationships with members of congress. He and i both went to capitol hill last week and sat down with leaders of the house and the senate. Part of this is not just surrounding the president elect with men and women from whom he can choose the personnel that will people an administration, but were also laying out an aggressive policy agenda with leaders in both chambers and in both Political Parties. I went back to capitol hill this week and not only met with leader mcconnell and speaker ryan, but i also was grateful to have the opportunity to sit down schumer. We had a substantive conversation. Were working with the majorities in the house and senate to move forward an aggressive agenda. Decisions have been made that by the president elect that he wants to focus out of the gate on repealing obamacare and beginning the process of replacing obamacare with the kind of Free Market Solutions that he campaigned on. From there, well work on issues ranging from ending illegal immigration, reviving our rebuilding the military, restoring the infrastructure of this country. But i do hope to continue to play a supportive role to take president elect Donald Trumps agenda to capitol hill and work with leaders frankly in both Political Parties to move the country forward and make America Great again. Well, let me ask you about one potential flash point. We interviewed Senate Democratic leader schumer on friday. Hes going to be in our next segment. Vetting of Donald Trumps choice for attorney general. Thats senator Jeff Sessions. Back in 1986, looking at the record, sessions was rejected by the senate as a federal judge because of troubling actions and statements on race and as a senator, sessions supported rolling back the Voting Rights act and voted against laws to protect gays and guarantee equal pay for women. The question is, are you prepared to figh make sessions the nations chief Law Enforcement officer . I think everyone who knows senator Jeff Sessions knows that hes going to be an outstanding attorney general. Hes a man of integrity. He stood shoulder to shoulder with our president elect through this campaign, championing not only the rule of law but confronting the scourge of illegal immigration. For many americans, this is a very anxious time relative to the justice department. They know that Jeff Sessions it comes to race and gays and women . Well, im very confident that in the course of the confirmation hearings that his record in its totality will come out. This is a man who prosecuted the kkk in his own home state. This is someone who demonstrated personal courage. Youre going to see an outpouring of support from diverse voices, including the africanamerican community, in his home state and across the sessions will be the next attorney general of the United States. During the campaign, donald trump attacked Hillary Clinton for blurring the lines with the Clinton Foundation. Heres what he said. It is impossible to figure out where the Clinton Foundation ends and the state department begins. It is now abundantly clear that to profit from public office. But governor, now theres heavy criticism from all sides about Donald Trumps intention to turn over his real estate empire to his children. The argument is that any company, any Foreign Government that wants to curry favor with the president will just make a deal with the Trump Organization. In fact, one Top Republican said to me, this could be the Clinton Foundation on steroids. H well, im very confident working with the best legal minds in the country, that the president elect and his family will create the proper separation from his business as he goes forward. But look, one of the reasons why donald trump just won a mandate from the American People, winning states that republicans hadnt won for a generation, is because he brought that business background. He didnt come out of a long things, creating things. Sir, i understand that. Im very confident, and hes very confident well be able to create the proper separation. But its not just a legal question. If i may just ask a question, sir, briefly. If his kids are running the business, and were talking about buildings here. If he doesnt divest himself of the business, a lot of people are saying turn it into cash, hes going to know who in fact, there was just a meeting in the last few days with some of his Business Partners from india. Doesnt that create a tremendous danger of a conflict of interest . Well, i can tell you in a recent interview after the election, the president elect summed up his view of his interest in his Business Life with two words. He said, who cares. I can tell you sitting shoulder to shoulder with him through these interviews, watching him talk to World Leaders on the president elect of the United States, donald trump s completely focused on the peoples business. I promise you, and i can assure the public that theyll have the proper separation from their business enterprise. Youve met all of his kids. Theyre extraordinary men and women. Fully capable of leading that enterprise. I know hes going to lead america with 110 of his focus. Finally, ive got about a minute left. I got to ask you about the subject ever about today. You know what it is. That is the fact that you went to see the Broadway Musical hamilton on friday night. Afterwards, the cast addressed you as you were walking out of the theater about their concerns as to whether mr. Trump will protect diversity in our nation. Here he is. We truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American Values and to work on behalf of all of us. Trump tweeted this, the cast of hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, mike pence. Apologize. He tweeted about it again at 6 23 this morning. Governor, what did you think of the casts comments, and did you consider it rude . Well, first off, my daughter and i and her cousins really enjoyed the show. Hamilton is just an incredible production. It was a real joy to be there. You know, when we arrived, we heard a few boos, we heard some cheers. I nudged my kids and reminded them thats what freedom sounds like. But at the end, you know, i did hear what was said from the stage, and i can tell you i wasnt offended by what was said. Ill leave to others whether that was the appropriate venue to say it. I do want to say that the basic message is one that i want to address. That is, i know this is a very disappointing time for people that did not see their candidate win in that national election. I know this is a very anxious time for some people. I just want to reassure people that what president elect donald trump said on election night, he absolutely meant from the bottom of his heart. He is preparing to be the president of all of the people of the United States of america, and to watch him bringing views, bringing together people that differed with him strongly, seeing him talk to leaders around the world, i just want to reassure every american that in the days ahead, im very confident that theyre going to see president elect donald trump be a president for all of the people, and we embrace that principle and were going to work hard to make that principle every day that we serve. And just to button hamilton well, as i said, i would just leave that to others, whether that was the appropriate venue for that. You know, i will tell you, chris, if you havent seen the show, go to see it. It is a great, great show. Im a real history buff. So my daughter and i and her cousins really enjoyed it. Well, ive seen it too. We can say pence and wallace, two thumbs up. Governor pence, we want to thank you. Thank you for joining us. Always good to talk with you, sir. Thank you. Up next, well sit down with a top democrat in washington, Senate LeaderChuck Schumer. Where can he work with mr. Trump, and where will he fight democrats fought donald trump bitterly during the campaign, but it turns out theyre turning to a surprising tactic now that hes the new president , looking for areas to work with him. We found that out friday when we with the democrats new leader in the senate, Chuck Schumer. Senator schumer, welcome back to Fox News Sunday. Glad to be back. How many times have you spoken to president elect trump since the election . A few. And you know, first time says congratulations, lets work together. Second time we talked a little about infrastructure. I do think its possible under certain terms we could get a but maybe even in the first hundred days. But that infrastructure bill has to have certain things for us to support it. It cant just be tax credits. It wont be enough. It has to be large and bold. Trump has talked about a trillion dollars good. Federal spending . Exactly. Not just tax expenditures. And it cant cut the basics like medicare and education and other things to pay for it. But if he wants to do a major infrastructure bill, infrastructure, and with those criteria its very possible. Well, lets do a lightning round. Quick questions, quick answers on a number of items in the trump agenda. Theres been talk about a possible deal, infrastructure, which democrats would like and some republicans. In return, tax reform, Corporate Tax reform and a way to get some of those trillions of dollars back t
