. >> donald trump is going to be donald trump. he is not going to change. >> right. >> donald is about money and the glorification of donald. and the country be damned. donald throughout the campaign showed no respect for the constitution. let's remember this is a man who wasn't willing to say of course he would concede if he didn't win. a man who talks about the presidency like it's vladimir putin's job, that he is effectively a dictator. and won't even take his national security briefings every day. and to think that donald trump somehow would separate himself from that which he values so much that when they were teenagers, his children wouldn't speak to him, nah, nothing is going to change here. and if you had made this as a novel, nobody would buy it. they wouldn't believe this could happen in america. >> charlie sykes, the trump campaign has repeatedly reversed itself since it became the trump transition. and here we see something that donald trump never quite worked out, which was how is he going to deal with his businesses.

do you agree with donald trump? >> i think everything we do as humans impacts where we live and the environment we live in. to what extent it has -- >> it's a very important question. >> sure. to what extent it has an impact and i think we have seen in this administration in particular an overreach and that's why we have these out of control regulations and why industry and jobs have been at a standstill. we are seeing those increases because getting regulations off the backs because people overreacted to something science quite frankly has not backed up. >> you don't think science backs up climate change? >> i don't know the specifics. i'm saying overreach of the regulations is not backed up by the science. >> one of the biggest employers in arkansas is walmart. clearly a trade policy with china is very important to your state. donald trump has discussed pushing a 35% tariff on companies who ship jobs overseas when they want to bring their products back in. he's discussed a 45% tariff on chinese goods coming into t

we're not going to see donald trump explaining himself. he doesn't believe he needs to explain himself, like vladimir putin. he thinks whatever he does is just fine. he sent a powerful message by having his children in that room. this opened up a world in which business people and government leaders now recognize if you want to curry favor with the trumps you do it through the two trump boys. if you are having a problem, they are in a position to blackmail you. and because they're not subject to disclosure laws and trump is not disclosing anything, we will have no idea what kind of deals donald trump's sons are making that are eni am cal. and the only way is to appoint an independent broker who has never dealt with the trump family and the broker to disclose what's happening. and i don't think we're going to see that happen, because donald trump evidently is highly dependent on the cash flow from these enterprises in order to maintain his life and that of his children. >> ron klain, the die ves at this timure process, too, would be complic

donald trump's plane is 25 years old. it was 20 years old when he bought it, because of course he can't afford a new plane. buyers like donald trump can replace their planes very easily by going to the used plane lot and buying something they can customize anyway they want. but getting a new air force one takes years, usually ten years. so the president who orders a new air force one is never the president who flies that air force one. today's was commissioned by ronald reagan who was flying a much smaller plane. george h.w. bush was the first to fly the current air force one. they have approved the funds for a new air force one, but there is still no order to manufacture them, so there is no order to cancel. if development proceeds on schedule, donald trump won't get to fly in the new air force one. maybe that's why he doesn't want it. it won't be available until about eight years from now when the current air force one is 34 years old. no one, not even donald trump believes that the president of the united states should

president donald trump. only sarah palin days ago had been lobbying for secretary of the veterans association and now she is attacking donald trump over the thing donald trump think is the best thing he's ever done, making a deal with carrier in return for carrier moving 1300 jobs to mexico. donald trump says he got the governor of indiana, mike pence, his future vice president to make that payment to carrier, because carrier said there were another 800 jobs that it was threatening to move to mexico that it would not move to mexico if, if carrier was paid not to move those jobs. and so the trump/pence team came up with the extortion money to save those jobs. here's what sarah palin says about that. when government steps in favoring one business over others, it sets unfair press dent, meanwhile, the free enterprise system gets amputated. republicans oppose this, remember? instead, we support competition on a level playing field, remember? because we know special interest cronie capitalism is one big fail. pol

obviously something donald trump can relate to. the fact that condoleezza rice and robert gates and james baker were willing to put support behind this man, that resonated with donald trump and his team, particularly members who didn't feel comfortable with the notion of trump going with someone like mitt romney for secretary of state. we have heard senators on the hill expressing concern already. in talking to trump's team, they don't seem particularly concerned about the notion of tillerson getting confirmed. they do believe that, once he starts meeting with senators privately and once he is in these hearings, that people will get a much better sense of his record and sort of why he did the things he did and that he'll ultimately impress them and win over their support, wolf. >> sara, how much is russia policy actually dominating the decision-making behind the scenes among the trump transition officials? >> reporter: well, while we in the media and members on capitol hill have been very focused on russia, and tillerson's relation
