i think it's in the best interest of the united states and the world as a whole, that the united states negotiate rather than go back to the cold war relationship with the soviet union. i don't look at the picture as briefly as you have indicated in your question, mr. truitt. i believe that the united states has had many successes in recent years and recent months as far as the come muist movement has concerned. it didn't. we have a democracy in portugal today. a few months ago, or i should say, maybe two years ago, the soviet union looked like they had continued strength in the middle east. today, according to prime minister soviet union is weaker in the middle east than they have been in many many years, the facts are, there -- the soviet union relationship with egypt is at a low level. the soviet union relationship with syria is at a very low point. the united states today according to prime minister rescreen of israel is at a peak. >> we wanted to have the full protection of minority. we wanted to preserve human dignity in southern africa. we have taken the initiative and in souther

the united states. >> sreenivasan: castro put down dissent, economic conditions worsened, emigration to the united states surged. exiles and their families filled american cities and prospered in places like miami's "little havana." these immigrants became a force in american politics, standing against any efforts to lift the embargo or reopen diplomatic relations. ( cheers ) all the while, castro endured. he rallied his faithful supporters in the capital with his trademark hours-long, fiery speeches full of nationalist and socialist rhetoric. >> ( speaking spanish ) >> sreenivasan: crowds of thousands turned out to listen. even with massive soviet subsidies, another dramatic economic downturn hit cuba in 1980, and castro said anyone who wanted to leave cuba could do so by boat. again, a huge wave of immigrants headed to the united states in what became known as the mariel boatlift. many of these were prisoners and convicts. but castro continued to hold a tight grip on his people through restrictions on

the united states and russia have long experienced going back to the time of the united states and the soviet union with nuclear weapons and with deterrents, but we know mistakes are still possible between us. the question here that i'm posing is what does the dprk think nuclear weapons are good for besides deterring an enemy attacking them with nuclear weapons? or, to put it differently, when is the threat of the first use of nuclear weapons by a state credible, particularly when that state is dealing with another nuclear weapons state? what good are nuclear weapons to the dprk, is the question? my answer is that they're only relevant, they're only useful when national survival is at risk. they're certainly not useful for small gains. they're not credible. they're not useful to protect them against a retaliation for incidents at the dmz or at sea. but as it turns out, my answer really isn't very important. kim jong-un's answer is very important and i worry that he may expect more of his nuclear weapons capability than a good appreciation for deterrence would warrant. fourth question.

has vowed to pull the , united states out of the agreement. trump is a longtime climate denier. on wednesday, china's vice foreign minister rejected trump's claim that global warming is a chinese hoax. instead, liu zhenmin said -- international climate change negotiations began in the 1980's. secretary of state john kerry gave a major speech here in marrakesh. he referenced the election of -- he referenced the election, but did not mention the president-elect by name. >> i know it has left some here and elsewhere feeling uncertain about the future. i obviously understand that uncertainty. ande i can't stand here speculate about what policies our president-elect will pursue, i will tell you this, and the time that i have spent in public life, one of the things i have learned is that some issues look the little bit different when you're actually in office compared to when you are on the campaign trail. and the truth is, that climate change should not be a partisan issue in the first place. it isn't a partisan issue for our military leaders of th

it will be called the globe of the united states, the territorial expansion of the united states. it is very useful in mapping that. and it shows that east, west, geographic growth. and it shows the different nations involved. the unchese acquires the united states and quee and then it acquires the louisiana purchase from france and florida from pain and it aquires an agreement through great britain and acquires the southwest. there are a lot of nations mentioned in that. and not once, native american nation. map. single nation on our when our students look at it, is the growth of the nation happens .n the absence of many people it makes sense we look at this map and says everything falls into step lock step. we knew this was going to happen. and whether we are teaching our students and we are not blinded by hindsight. we know how the story ended. and so, given the massive jug naut, yeah, indians don't think about much of it because they are part of the expansion. 17950, john adams said in his diary, george washington, president washington, has dinner one week on four different oc

run by the united states mafia. all those casinos, all that lively dance footage we see of cuba, that was all run by the mafia. the united states mafia. and castro cleaned that out. and not only did he do that, he's revered in his country, in cuba, for changing the class system. there was a huge class system in cuba up until then. and the peasant class didn't know how to read or write. most of the people in cuba didn't know how to read and write in 1960. and in fact, they didn't have medical care of any kind. and they didn't have electricity outside of havana. spent money on those things. they have a very good education system. they have a very good medical system. and they have electricity all over the island. do they have all the freedoms that the united states has? they do not and the people there want those freedoms. and that's why many of them will be happy to see castro gone right now. but it will not change his place in history. >> i mentioned a lot of people will be celebrating that news without question. we

of the united states. how nerve wracking is tuesday for you? >> i mean, every election night is a stressful situation. you know, just because there's a -- you know, it's not just me, i should say, actually, we have a very large team of professionals, ph.d.s, data scientists, pollsters that help. but you know, we're -- we want to be at the top of our game and it's a very long night. >> so i guess you get more comfortable the bigger margin you see. in your job, when you start to see a big margin that makes you confident, increasingly confident in your prediction, that must be the thing you're hoping for. >> what we're hoping for is we're a data-driven exercise, so we don't want to be wrong. >> you're not allowed to be wrong. >> we're not allowed to be wrong. so we absolutely -- we're not allowed to be wrong. we have -- the standard is extremely high. so you know, in a lot of these close races, they can take a long time to call because again, we're not business of making sure that we're actually correctly pro

cast his ballot for the office of the president of the united states. when we elect a president, we choose a man whom we must trust with our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. when that choice is made, there is no turning back. the decision is final. and we are not making a decision for the next four years alone. the decisions of the president will effect the future of this nation and the world for decades to come. indeed, the lives of generations yet unborn. we cannot afford to make a mistake. there is no room for error. almost 20 years of the nuclear age have passed. and the recent upheeflz in the communist world remind us once again of the perilous times in which we live. in the world to have day, the penalties for error are infinitely greater. and in this new and dangerous world, it is the president of the united states to whom the people of the free world must look for leadership. it is in the hands of our president, the man that we elect that the hope of progress and of peace is entrusted. if there is to be a better and a more peaceful wor

to the united states. that was being mentioned 132 times. but in what sense was russia brought up? when it comes to clinton, one of the hooks of her campaign was essentially putting it this way. you are either with me or with the evil vladimir putin. so many tv channels and media organizations jumped on the bandwagon here. the whole e-mail scandal, that's because of russian hackers. when wikileaks started releasing clinton's compromising data that means julian assange is a russian spy or putin's agent and vladimir putin is scheming here because he is in a bromance with donald trump. >> these hacks have been taking place by russians. >> russian state actors broke into the dnc. >> russia has used cyber attacks. >> we know russian intelligence services which are part of the russian government which is under the firm control of vladimir putin has hacked the dnc. >> there is growing evidence that russia is using wikileaks as a delivery vehicle for hacked e-mails. >> trump himself praised putin and embraces pro-

as she prepares to represent the united states at the united nations in new york and occupy the ambassador's office at its u.n. mission, little is known about her approach to foreign affairs. diplomats from other countries have expressed relief at the appointment of nikki haley. they feared that donald trump might appoint a prominent republican u.n. basher to the role. they see her as a potentially moderating influence on the incoming president. others who have not yet been asked are ready to serve, like general david petraeus, commander of u.s. forces in afghanistan and iraq, former director of the cia. general petraeus: i've been in a position before i wear a president has turned to me in the oval office in a difficult moment without any pleasantries and said "i'm asking you as your president and commander-in-chief to take command of the international security assistance force in afghanistan." the response can be yes, mr. president. president obama: i hereby pardon you. nick: all this as president obama, for the last time carried , out one of the great rituals of state, the annual pardonin

it lists every job the president of the united states has to fill. its technical name is united states government, policy and supporting positions. it's called the plum book because when your party wins the presidency and you have connections and expertise you flip over the plum book to find the job you want, the plum you want. you want to be the department of agriculture state director, the biggest farming state in america? it is right here. it is right here on page 13. right there. pay grade is there. everything you need to know about it, the name of the person who currently has the job is there. now, let's just randomly flip it over to where i left a little place holder. okay? the department of health and human services centers for disease control and prevention, that's right in the middle of the page and of course there is the director and associate director and management office. there is chief information officer, a jen senior adviser to the director of the dheef human capital and resources office and that's deputy chief operating officer, the

been elected the 45th president of the united states. he has vowed to build a wall with mexico, been muslims, in jail his opponent hillary clinton. the house and senate will remain in republican control. all of that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. donald trump was elected 45th president of the united states defeating hillary rodham clinton , in a stunning upset that reverberated around the world. trump carried at least 279 electoral college votes to clinton's 218, although trump appears to have narrowly lost the popular vote. around 2:50 a.m., trump took the stage at a new york city victory party, saying he had received a phone call by hillary clinton congratulating him on the win. mr. trump: to all republicans and democrats and independents across this nation, i say it is time for us to come together as one united people. it is time. [applause] i pledge to every citizen of our land that i will be president for all americans. and this is so important to me. have

in the west, notably the united states. nd as a way of re-affirming in their minds russian greatness. mr. schiff: let me ask one last question about isis and the there have been a number of statements from the pentagon about the timing of the campaign. -- the campaign against racca. about had concerns whether we have the forces to undertake that. whether it is premature. but there have been public comment about two imperatives accelerating that campaign and one is an intensification of plotting by isis against the united states and the need to move quickly. the need to diminish that threat. and the other is the fear of people, isis figures, leaving mosul and reinforcing efforts in rocca. how much are those two concerns driving that campaign and how do you ascribe that threat to the united states rum isis at the moment in terms of external operations planning? and the military trade-off of moving more quickly than the forces are prepared but the necessity of cutting off people that are fleeing those all -- fleeing mosul? the

the island of cuba but of course the united states and around the world. this is somebody who despite the fact he was a leader of a small island, not important geo politically became a leader known around the world. how many people are known by their first name but fidel castro was. certainly tonight people are reeling with the news of his death here in cuba. >> cnn's dedicated correspondent to havana, cuba. i want to touch on something you mentioned last hour. the statement that fidel castro was described as immortal until proven otherwise. this is a leader revered and loved by many. and hated and despised by many. what would you say the reaction is as you point out the news is starting to slowly get traction there in cuba. that this former leader has died. >> i think people are stunned. there's a been a silence and sadness. i haven't seen too many tears. that perhaps will come later. whether they are real or people being told by the government to show their sadness at fidel castro's passing. for many of the young people here they never knew him as presid

the united states. even america's most pro-british spokespersons, theodore roosevelt among them, criticized the british, not just for the violent response for the execution of many of those pretty much without trials. however, it proves things to irish-americans. one was that germany was no better as an international sponsor or patron than was great britain. they sponsored part of the easter rising. they took some and landed them in ireland. they promised weapons. they promised support, and in the end, they did nothing in the second was that irish-american leaders especially came to resent the accusations -- the disloyalty. the argument went we are irish-american, but we are american. you can count on us not to do it they did in dublin. furthermore, what irish-americans came to realize, although many of them did not like it, is that the best hope for ireland was that the united states and great britain were in the winning coalition of the war, and the reason is that woodrow wilson had begun to speak of

in the relationship between russia and the united states. not only mentioning cuba, of course. >> jill, how is the death being characterized, though, on russian tv there, specifically we heard the statement that you just read, that you just got, but they've been talking about this for hours now in russia, have they not? >> reporter: they have. and again, i think it's really more nostalgia. you do have those, you know, comments about the united states and what it did during the cold war, but there actually has been some comments about the bettering relationship between the united states and cuba. and so i think they've been playing it relatively straight as a memorial to a man who was their ally. >> jill dougherty, thank you very much. it's always great to see you reporting to us from moscow. thank you. >> thank you, jill. >>> so, you might be wondering what it's like to live at trump tower, particularly now since it's most famous dweller is president-elect. what does it mean for the folks that live there? we're going to take a look next. jus

same time the israeli state is armed by the united states, funded by the united states and i think that relationship is going to intensify. what's happening inside israel is very interesting because the ascendant right wing in israel in the last 10 or 15 years and you hear that the rise of trump is going to bolster that right-wing sentiment and i think it's very times, concerning to israel as well because the only solution i believe ultimately is a democracy a democracy is a simple thing which is that everybody gets one vote and they decide how they want to run their country. that doesn't exist in israel right now. you have to be from a particular background to have rights in israel so it's a very dark time unfortunately and i think the onset of trump is just making that worse. >> i'm glad you actually raise the issue what we mean by democracy. i wanted to clarify my position. i think, when i say american leadership by democracy, i didn't mean that united states would go around imposing a system on a lot of countries because we don't need more electoral college systems. what do i mean?

the united states! [cheering] - what led me to believe that he could win the nomination, was the speech in des moines, the jefferson jackson day dinner speech. you can just see the crowd reacting to this. - i don't wanna pit red america against blue america. i want to be the president of the united states of america. [cheers and applause] - for the very first time in my life, i feel compelled to stand up and to speak out. - talk to me about that oprah endorsement. how important was that in your mind? - it was a really big deal, because it was a-- it was a moment where mainstream america started to wake up to barack obama. - i'm here to tell you iowa, he is the one. [cheers and applause] he is the one. barack obama! [cheers and applause] - barack obama, the senator from illinois, the junior senator from illinois, has won the iowa caucuses. - he's got good ideas, good qualities and that's what we need. - we'll win new hampshire in five days and--and then we'll feel really good. - hillary clinton is coming

one of the great adventure stories in the history of the united dates military. macarthur gets to australia. he issues a statement which has made him -- it was one of the more famous once you made. the president of the united states ordered me to break through the japanese lines for the purpose of organizing the american offensive against japan. primary objective of which is the relief of the philippines. i came through. and i shall return. that promise, to go back and liberate the philippines, would drive much of the war in the pacific. the war in the pacific, particularly in the southwest the civic was unusual. unlike just about any other conflict the u.s. had fought him before for two main reasons. first, the geography of the area buthe vast space of it particularly the island of new guinea. it is one of the least developed. infrastructuree like there is in europe where you can find ports and roads and accessible terrain to be able to operate. in new guinea, whatever you need to fight, you will probably have to take with you. the land does not provide it. and

attack in the demise -- in the united states. one of the reasons for that is it is hard to plan an attack when you are being shot at and you are in a cave. work well in a cave and al qaeda was not particular good at using computers. this new group is different. a lot of them are recruited from us. they come from england, from germany, from france, from america. they understand us and understand how to use the internet as well as our children do. in that sense, that has to be priority number one. we have to eliminate that threat, because we don't want to live with the threat as we have under obama of what is the next city they will hit? will they hit st. louis, chicago, or will they go back to paris? i think once you get that under control, you can start working on the second, may be problem, which is a great fear of mine, iranian-shiite kingdom. now, to be honest, you have to say that iraq is a client state of iran. we delivered it to them. incould be the worst mistake yes it could be the worst. i think the way we exited iraq is

foreign policy and the role that the united states is going to play in the world. our trade and immigration. when we look at those two issues within foreign policy. like i tell my students, immigration isn't even in the books. it's not on the map. when you poll republicans and you poll americans about their critical concerns to this country right now, they will register immigration and i don't think it's just the american people. i think from the war in syria, the same concerns about immigration that's spread across europe. and all democracies are going to have to ask fundamental questions when we provide welfare benefits to people who come in. who is going to be the recipient thieves benefits and who is not. that's a fair question to ask. the second thing has to do with trade and whether or not we'll continue tong of trade as a universal good. that is not just president trump. those are very serious questions that were not addressed by either political party up until this election and really need to be rethought, regardless of who is talking about a specific agree

: the man the united ?living well? rise above joint discomfort with move free ultra's triple action joint support for improved mobility and flexibility, and 20% better comfort from one tiny, mighty pill... get move free ultra, and enjoy living well. >>> so how will history judge fidel castro? is there good to weigh against the bad? according to the cia's latest fact book, cuba's infant births. that's lower than the 5.8 recorded here in the united states. average life expectancy in cuba is 78.7 years. just a tenth of a year shorter than here. cuba has 6.72 doctors per 1,000 people. more than double the number per thousand in our country. weighed against these pluses are the negatives of decades of though there's no hard number, political executions by firing squad total just over 3,100, according to the non-profit think tank cuba archive. human rights watch reports 6,200 arbitrary detentions during the first eight months of last year. and there's that flood of cuban refugees to the united states to consider.

the next to turned is the united states. deterrent is the united states. do you think germany is in some degree immune to the kind of anti-elitism sweeping the rest of europe? perhaps in part because of that historical experience? especially to the , from 1933 to 1945, there was an exclusion to this. they are be 10%, 12%, but the -- that does not change the outcome. the chancellor can calm external obstacles. she is in a position to choose. whatever happens will be a great coalition. outsider, let's stick to what we have. stability. spd going into a coalition with ththe elitists, part of them do not want to be members of nato. part of them object to eu policies. and the head had some very strong praise for donald trump, astonishingly enough. we are almost at the end of our time. whether you would agree with that, we do in fact see a new trend toward very hard righght-wing m media, breitbarte website that in many ways helped generate much h of the support r donald trump now saying it will open a website here in germany in time for the election. germans reme

empire or the united states of america. yet according to the president of the united states, until stable and i quote and tell stable governments are set up and supported locally, the middle east will never call down. that pronouncement came from the white house, not a barack obama but of dwight eisenher in 1956. over the decades we have learned not to expect miracles even though that's what you're supposed to come from in the middle east, we have learned not to give up. while the united states remains in my mind the indispensable nation to the city of the region, i've always quick to point out that there is nothing in the word indispensable that means alone. after a bit of time which the united states has been accused of doing too much and they do little, we didn't on this discussion about our role and our relationships and our responsibilities. and that's what i'm so pleased to be a part of this bill a strategy task force with my very good friend steve hadley. it's been an extraordinary learning experience for both of us

that the soviet union and the cold war perspective, this was an asset for the united states. there was a change of thinking in the case of the 73 war, before about or said.was trying to get interested in a deal in the cyanide the israeli status quo didn't see any need for change. kissinger thought the situation was fine. and then it clicked that there is a way he could turn egypt around, change it from the russian camp to the american camp. he got involved. and he rescued egypt's third army and concluded sinai one, cyanide two. the purpose was to get egypt on america's side and he did. so, i don't think israel really served in the united states interest in the sense that the arabs had turned to the soviet union did so because they didn't turn to the united states. israel was helping the united states solve a problem that it had created. >> thank you for being a good audience.

we have extradited terrorists to the united states in the past. anwe expect the same tng to be done by the unistes. >> kroft: thu.s. is sisting the courts to evaluate the evidence. the delay has created widespread suspicions here that the u.s. government is protecting gulen and that its intelligence agencies may have been involved or had advance knowledge of the coup. members of erdogan's government have suggested that publicly. the u.s. has denied it. any u. ive?eve that there was >> erdoan ( translated ): i'm not going to blame the united states. but that's what my peoplwill why are you still keeping that man? so as long you harbor him there, i'm sorry, don't get offended. but this is the-- perception of the turkish nation and the turkish people. >> kroft: i'm taking it from your answer that you have done nothing to discourage the turkish people from believing that. >> erdoan ( translated ): i cannot deceive my people. i cannot deceive my people here. because i'm suffering right now. the united states is not suffering. >> kroft: erdoan had beg a

run by the united states mafia. all those casinos, all that lively dance footage we see of cuba, that was all run by the mafia. th and castro came in and he cleaned that out. and not only did he do that, he's revered in his country, in cuba, for changing the class system. there was a huge class system in cuba up until then. and the peasant class didn't know how to read or write. most of the people in cuba didn't know how to read and write in 1960. and in fact, they didn't have medical care of any kind. so castro came into power, he spent money on those things. they have a very good education system. they have a very good medical system. and they have electricity all over the island. do they have all the freedoms that the united states has? they do not and the people there want those freedoms. and that's why many of them will be happy to see castro gone right now. but it will not change his place in history. >> i mentioned a lot of people will be celebng we just saw a few moments ago video of raul castro making that

new president of the united states. >> the people are speaking. i guess they have been so tired of the past eight years the people just want their control back. >> i have been saying all week that i'm very hopeful that we're going to win, that donald trump will be our next president. >> in delafield, sheldon dutes ben: the financial industry is bracing for a big blow today following the outcome of this election. melinda: wisn 12 news hillary mintz is live from the newsroom with the latest. hillary. reporter: the financial experts are saying that the industry was banking on a hillary victory. after the news broke, the dow dropped 700 points. it is now down to 305 points. but this worst point loss since 2008 for the stocks. the global stock markets around the world are tanking because the overseas investors are feeling uncertainty with trump and could see the s&p tumbling. what does this mean, well with so much volatility in the coming days, your pension fund will >> the dow jones will fall, s&p will fall, the value of the dollar will decline, the p

once the border is secure, once we get rid of the criminal felons in the united states, i think that donald trump administration will deal fairly with mexican citizens. >> we will see about that. >> i bleaelieve that. >> it is another thing to see what the mexican government is doing, encouraging those here illegally to stay here illegally. not doing anything to encourage them to come home. what do you make of that? >> i'm not so sure i agree with that these is. the fact that the government of mexico is deciding they want to be helpful to their nationals that live here or abroad in america. >> even illegally. >> we would be reaching out to our people in any circumstance in any country in this world and protect our people no matter what their status. >> make the same allowances that americans do in other countries illegally? >> not allowances, they're suggesting that they're going to be helpful, that they're going to provide services of counsel and what have you to be able to live abroad. >> but rachel, i don't see anything in this announcement from the mexican government that would e

in the united states. but two weeks after he said we would have been better off in the country if the whole country had voted for the segregationist position, in 1958, two weeks after that, trent lott was gone. he was most recently enthusiastic about trump, saying what he would be for him and his friends. he is probably better off not as a senator any more. it's important for us as a country to know basically trent lott couldn't stay on as the top republican senator in washington, once he was caught talking on tape the way he did about strom thurmond and his segregationist rant about the presidency. at some point, this is what normal politicians choked on. there did used to be a lot of these guys around, and for a while, it felt like they were all going to live to be 500 years old. but they all nearly died out. i'm 43 years old, i saw it ethically unwieldy for them to run on these campaigns. over the course of my life i have seen most of them die out. most of them, not all of them. that ends up being reall

khrushchev he nuked the united states. you could say he liked the united states. >> no, i said he liked americans. >> well, he would kill americans in the course of nuking the united states. >> complex. >> that is complex, but go on. >> let me be the purest historian and say fidel's letter to khrushchev was if cuba was attacked by the united states, that would be a prelewd to a u.s. nuclear a tok on the soviets and they should fire first, that is what he said. >> never the less, khrushchev did the rit thing by by not launching a nuclear attack. >> ta does not neglect ate the classified history that we have in which he sent secret messages to almost every single president of the united states from kennedy all the way through to obama at the beginning of their term saying we would like to have better relations. we want those relations on the basis of mutual respect and respect for our independence and sovereignty. he did that, after two important reasons. one is he was a realist and he knew that cuba would be better off not

in europe, the commonwealth and here in the united states. he is really the living embodiment of churchill's free circles concept of international diplomacy. to give you a taste of that, he has been president of the anglo-french society. he is president of the british german society. a patron of the richmond society. international chairman emeritus of the english speaking union and president of the european atlantic movement. i should point out he is high steward of cambridge university, also my boss. and a patron of the churchill archive's center and has the churchill medal from the english speaking union. like churchill, he is a writer and his latest book, "churchill's legacy: two speeches to save the world," is about two vital speeches he gave in 1946. one at westminster college and one of the university of zurich. that book is doing extremely well, on top of the list of best-selling hardback nonfiction books at the moment. you all have the chance to keep it there by going next door and buying more copies. allen did not just write the book

of the united states in your view? >> i believe they should. there was a concern a while back that presidents work in almost every sphere and you wanted people from all walks of life to be president. but the people who made those original laws never contemplated someone with a sprawling global empire of financial interests that could affect financial policy, tax policy, foreign policy. i think it is time for the laws to change if the president-elect doesn't take the steps voluntarily to separate those spheres. >> he said he will take those steps voluntarily. president-elect trump said he would create this blind trust or separation between business dealings and the presidential and political dealings. he knows what his business dealings are. he knows what would be affected by tax decisions and foreign policy decisions and other decisions he's made. secondly his children have been deeply involved in the campaign and deeply involved in the transition. there is no reason to think there would be. he needs to sell business i

as president of the united states is a question that only mr. trump can answer. if, in fact, he carries out his threat and sues them, then will be recommend to my clients that they file a lawsuit, a cross complaint against mr. trump alleging defamation. >> reporter: lawyers who dealt with trump over the years say he's never. shy about going to court. >> he comes out of new york real estate. that's a rough elbow, sharp elbows walk of life when people sue and get sued all the time. he is not hesitant about going up for what he thinks is due legal protection, but he's not running businesses anymore. he's going to be president of the united states. >> reporter: but trump's business interests may create conflict for the soon-to-be president. in the midst of the campaign, he took time off to promote his brand with a trip to the golf course in scotland and later opening a new hotel in washington, but nothing raises more questions than his ties to russian investors. with this beauty pageant and buildings, trump has been promoting himself to russians for

he is now said to become the 45th president of the united states and vowing to unite the country. >> i say it is time for us to come together as one united people. >> can the ultimate political outsider heal the rifts that he helped cause? >> now it's time for america to bind the wounds. >> the billionaire businessman and former reality star promising to heal america after one of the most contentious campaigns ever. >> the forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. >> his new message of unity. >> and this morning, big questions about how to talk to your children after this nasty and bruising campaign. what do parents say to their sons and daughters? >> good morning, america. the shock waves rocking across the country, around the world right now. america waking up to a surprising, stunning result this morning. donald trump in an upset becomes president of the united states 45th president of the united states, "people" magazine already out with their p >> there are a lot of people with big questions about what to say to their children this morning after the har
