don king likely one of them. he did come out with donald trump when he talked to reporters, carrying both israeli and the u.s. flag. and he was asked by reporters, is this a message you're trying to send to the president-elect? of course, on the same day that you have the current administration, secretary kerry giving this big speech on the middle east peace process and don king responded back, he said the israeli flag is about peace, we want everyone to come together, this leader pointing to donald trump that can make that happen. notably donald trump, himself, today, was really critical of the obama administration before secretary gave that big speech saying, indicating that the obama administration, he thinks, has done damage to the friendship and the relationship between israel and the united states. don? >> sunlen, i probably could have answered my own question. the answer to that question is, it's don king, what do you expe expect? thank you very much, sunlen. we appreciate it. i want to bring in cnn presid

he is taking a moment to talk to our don bell about joining the team. >> don's live from the temple liacouras center where the press conference just wrapped up. good afternoon, don. >> good afternoon. listen, i am charged up, fired up, this guy excited as well, this is geoff collins new head coach of the temple football squad. congratulations to you. when you got word what was your first reaction. >> i haven't slept. i told guys right when it was receipt i much going to be my job, i stayed up all night trying to get my talking points ready to meet with the team. just to be head coach of this great university and great group of guys i'm fired up about. >> in the press conference you said you had six to eight mountain dews in you to keep you wired up here and excited about what is going on today. listen, what is your first move, to get ready. >> big thing is sitting down, i want to meet with everybody in the building, meet the with the players, even outing seniors, find out the things that are different, factors from everybody else in this league. what makes temple temple, what has made us, win

>> well, you know, don, thanks for having me on tonight. i think it's important that president obama commits the rest of his time as the former president to causes greater than his own self-interest and to commit himself to things that are going to help the black community. you saw many former presidents decide to do things as extensions of what they tried to do or what they did do during their time in the administration or the time at the white house. president george w. bush with his commitment to africa. you saw president william clinton with commitment to international efforts with his global initiative. and president carter with those things that he did with voting and election monitoring. and so i think for president obama, it's important for him as the first african-american president to have his legacy try to be something about uplifting the black community for the rest of his life, especially in chicago where miss library will be. it's going to be important that his work that he's been given is not -- does not go away and that he c

to the tip off, don >> hey guys, music is bumping and players are jacking upshots. big five title is on the line here tonight and we have a preview for you coming up later in sports. >> thanks, don. see new a bit. >>> donkeys on the lamb, how police were finally able to carol four delinquent donkeys after they led them on the chase through a south jersey neighborhood. >>> it was a student addition and at first middle schoolers didn't want to get too close to each other but soon they got in the swing of things. what lessons they are learning on the dance floor. >>> and a big dome of cold arctic air will come blasting in behind a cold front on thursday, i'll let you know when wind chills will drop down to near zero and when we can expect measurable snow in the city in your full forecast in just a few. but zzzquil is different have pain medicine because why would you take a pain medicine when all you want is good sleep? zzzquil: a non-habit forming sleep-aid that's not for pain, just for sleep. >>> here's something you don't see every day, four donkey where is found wo

i'm don lemon, this is cnn. the president-elect was warmly received at a big rally and introduced james "mad dog" mattis to be the secretary of defense. a white supremacist speaking at a university tonight, thousands and students and other opponents are rallying against the address. a whole lot to get to. i want to begin to sunlen serfaty. sunlen, good evening to you. trump was joined by his choice for defense secretary onstage. what did he say? >> reporter: this is something donald trump casually dropped at his rally last week. certainly tonight it was a little bit of showmanship on the part of the president-elect, formally making the announcement. certainly donald trump likes to drop his nickname as he did many times tonight from the podium, "mad dog" mattis. certainly the crowd responded to that. at one point mattis did come out onstage and spoke from the podium. here is what he had to say. >> thank you, president-elect, for the confidence that you have shown in me. thank you for the opportunity. i'm grateful

. >> good morning, don. as donald trump is rounding out his cabinet, only two positions left to fill which could come later this week. he is also looking ahead to his presidency now just 23 days away. as he does that, she is till tu -- among an extraordinary back and forth with staff membere about the cost of security at trump tower. donald trump is filling a critical west wing position. tapping thomas bossert a deputy homeland security adviser in george w. bush's white house to be his chief adviser on homeland security and cybersecurity. >> the government in the united states at a federal level needs to do something to address the threat. >> reporter: he will work alongside retired lieutenant general michael flynn who trump picked at national security adviser. he will be on equal footing with flynn. bossert's appointment has some breathing a sigh of relief because flynn's appointment stirred controversy. yet, an interesting selection for trump, who became a sharp critic of the iraq war after initially suppo

explain that. >> yeah, don. both of you already hit on some very important points and i don't think is a story necessarily about her putting her kids first. i think this is a story about her putting her entire life and business decisions first. let's think about it. choice a, become an employee of the government and work for the white house? choice b, remain an independent contractor with your own business where you have the power, you have the leverage and you negotiate what your salary is without any kind of conflict of interest. there is no doubt in my mind that this is a business move as much as it is a move about what's important to her. and if we really pay attention and women in particular pay attention to what she's doing, she is very clear about what matters to her and it's her family and it's remaining in power and in the era of donald trump and so she's going to do both. she's going to have the flexibility and she's going to negotiate a position. you watch. remain an adviser but somebody who's not on

i'm don lemon. things turn ugly when top aide to donald trump and hillary clinton clash in a panel discussion at harvard. >> i would rather lose than win the way you guys did. >> do you think i ran a campaign where white supremacist -- >> meanwhile the intelligence community convinced they med eld -- what's putin's end game? is donald trump playing with fire with russia? >> plus, we all saw it with our own eyes. a black man shot with a white -- the michael slager case. we'll get to a grudge match between top aide at kennedy school of politics. zev zeleny has more. >> there were no conciliatory handshakes for the losers or offers of congratulations for the winners. i was there and the tension was incredibly thick. harvard has been hosting the forums since 1972 when nixon defeated mcgovern. the trump/clinton race was explosive with finger pointing and shouting each side trying to make one last argue umgt for history. >>> a combustible mix of raw emotions and hard feelings as top advisers to donald tru

"cnn tonight with don lemon" starts now. >>> family values. are the trumps the new kennedys? this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. president-elect meets with the heads of facebook, apple, amazon and more today. you know who else was in the room? donald jr., ivanka and eric trump. we're learning the white house office for the first lady will become the office of the first lady under donald trump so just how involved will the trump children be? is this camelot 2.0?

don asked of the evidence. he said we have evidence but they're not going to present it they said until president-elect is in office. and then it will be up to the trump administration whether they want to present it to the american people. there's a sitting u.s. president. do you agree with them on that? >> well, it's the sitting u.s. president that worked against a sitting israeli prime minister, in his last election. so with all due respect i think that ambassador dermer rightly understands this administration is not friendly to israel, is not going to give them a fair shake and not be above board. so what is really the point of bringing the information forward now only to be squashed and kwaushed and put to the back room and the back pages of history by this current administration. i think they're looking for, and rightly so, a more favorable venue in a president-elect trump administration. so i think -- >> so the fact that the obama administration has signed the largest mou ever to any other country, $38 b

don? >> peter bergen is back with me to talk about that. i want to bring in national security analyst and security counterterrorism analyst and cia cau t county terrorism official. paul, i want to start with you. what are officials doing right now? >> this is a frustrating moment. typically you have an image or name and you can blow out the investigation in a course of hours. remember what we witnessed in new york at the chelsea bombings a month or two ago when we had a cell phone, and immediately within hours you had a suspect. in this case there is a lot of things you can do, though, in the interim. that is, you've got to talk to the people who were at the scene. did anybody take cell phone photographs? typically in the 21st century, there should be cameras somewhere in the neighborhood. i've got to ask questions about what people outside the neighborhood saw, whether they saw this truck in advance of the event. you're looking at dna and fingerprint information inside the truck. as was just mentioned, i'm looking at the gps tracking infor

don jr. all present for what could be a very important meeting for trump. >> you know, the two grown men. donald trump's sons, eric and don jr., are supposed to be actually running his company when he's president. but right now it would seem they are deeply involved in the transition. and there's new information also tonight about what role ivanka trump is going to have in her father's administration. >> reporter: that's right. there are lots of questions about whether there will ever be a clear bright line between how the kids interact with the business and how they interact with the trump white house. for instance, while we're expecting eric and donald jr. to take over the day to day operations of the trump organization, not only were they in this meeting but don jr. helped interview candidates for interior secretary. eric trump sat in on a meeting with mitt romney when they were considering him for a secretary of state. and it does look like perhaps ivanka trump will have the clearest divi

it was the '70s. >> doing what, don? >> living that kind of lifestyle. >> sex, drugs and rock and roll. >> yeah. that was what everybody was doing. which does mn'take it right necessarily. and you know, looking back on productive. although we were pretty productive considering. >> reporter: they sure were. the eagles have sold more than 150 million records worldwide. and they remain the best-selling american band of all time. ? one of these nights ? it all began in 1970 at the los angeles nightclub where don henley met glenn frey. >> he walked up to me one night in the troubador and beer and just started talking to me. you know, the troubador bar was the center of the universe at that point in time. ? the same thing happened to everybody ? >> after playing backup for linda ronstadt frey convinced henley to form a band of their own. ? on a dark desert highway ? ? cool wind in my hair ? >> "hotel california"'s such a classic. i have no clue what it means but i like it. days. >> don, stop it. you know what it means. you wro

also, don, a very interesting and odd development here. we are learning from the trump campaign that donald trump is planning to remain on board with "celebrity apen thi pepprentica" executive producer of that, a show owned by nbc. he's going to retain that position and he says accept a salary from that. it raises many questions including conflict of interest questions with nbc. they have not returned our calls for comment, but the trump campaign says that donald trump will remain involved in this to what extent, we don't yet know. someone described it as more of a royalty situation. example, president obama, he was an author before going into the white house. he received royalties for his books. similar to this, a spokesman for the trump campaign, the trump transition says donald trump conceived of this show and will remain attached to it in the white house. don? >> jeff, thank you very much. i want to bring in three men who have the ear of americans. radio host john fredericks, joe madison and dennis prager. we know it's a great conversa

hi there, don and poppy. incredibly meaningful. just something that will always stay with me, being able to make this journey home with these girls. this was a journey they had been longing to make. really very much a long road home to reuniting with family and their community. after almost 2 1/2 years in boko haram captivity, at last it's time to go home. having covered the chibok girls abduction from the very beginning, i'm going to make the long journey with them. you're going home. how are you feeling? somebody tell me, what is the feeling in your heart right now? >> happy. >> reporter: happy? for all the talk of excitement, some of these girls are also nervous. >> don't be nervous. don't be afraid, okay? behold your faith. you hold on to your faith, okay? okay? the same faith that kept you all those months. >> reporter: with the girls on the move, there are more smiles as they chant and giggle freely amongst themselves. once we land in yola the girls are welcomed by some of the chibok community leaders as well as the governor.

powing around with don king? >> the other week, we saw him with kanye west and so, you know. >> he was not convicted of murder. >> true. i'm not familiar with don king or his relationship with donald trump but i will make a quick point on the tweets with obama and i think the obama tweets is also a swipe at hillary clinton because president obama telling david axelrod that he could have beaten donald trump because of a better coalition is really a swipe at hillary clinton was unable to do it and neither was her team so i think we're missing that, obama signaling he wants to play a role in reshaping the democratic party after january 20th. >> kevin there in florida, david nc nc nakamura. >>> jonbenet's brother. i just want to find a used car without getting ripped off. start at the new carfax.com show me used trucks with one owner. pretty cool.

choices are not good, don. this is not a choice between an obviously good choice of action and obviously bad one. it's between several bad courses of action, none of which is guaranteed to succeed. we have the critical situation where we oppose isis strongly. we also oppose president assad. they are fighting among themselves. along with many other intersecting, overlapping and sometimes contradictory conflicts in the regioregion. i do think president obama should have done more, should have, and i think president fru trump will try to do more, perhaps more american special forces, perhaps better aiding those fighters who have now been defeated in aleppo, even though they may include some elements that we don't like and trying to organize in a way that disease n does not result in assad running country after this horrific slaughter of his own people and at the same time defeats isis. i acknowledge that's a very difficult objective in both respects. >> senator, let's talk about russia now, because when the presid

i'm don lemon. the commander in chief says we will take action. >> there is no doubt when any foreign government tries to impact our election we will need to take action and we will at a time and place of our choosing. >> we are learning just how wig the trump organization is. donald trump says untangling his business ties is no big deal. we get to that this evening. now to our chief national correspondent in washington. you can see the wap toll over hs shoulder. why do u.s. officials believe putin gave cyber experts broad direction in the hacking? >> it is believed in the u.s. intelligence community since they called russia out a month before the election that this hacking operation would have required the senior most russian official's aprofessional. russia is a top heavy system. that means vladimir putin. since then the confidence has increased. we have been learning today why that's the case. that's because of the sophisticated hacking tool, cyber weapons really, used in the attack. the most sop

they do keep changing. >> they do keep changing, don. and donald trump continues to express that skepticism that he has repeatedly expressed about the alleged russian attacks. he continued the doubt when he spoke outside mar-a-lago saying we should, quote, get on with our lives. and then donald trump issued this statement saying it's time for our country to move on to bigger and better things. nevertheless, in the interest of our country and its great people, i will meet with the leaders of the intelligence community next week in order to be updated on the facts of the situation. top transition adviser kellyanne conway say the sanctions seem largely symbolic and continue to cast doubt on the intelligence. itself. and conway also accusing president obama of playing politics. >> even those who are sympathetic to president obama on most issues are saying that part of the reason he did this today was to "box in" president-elect trump. that would be very unfortunate if that were the motivating -- if politics were the motivating factor. we can

good morning, ryan. >> don, good morning to you. trump, himself, has not personally donated to this foundation since 2008 and currently has no employees and hasn't actively raised funds in some time but in a statement the president-elect said he has instructed his attorneys to dissolve the charity. avoiding the appearance of any conflict with my role as president. i decided to pursue my interest in philanthropies in other ways. a spokesperson for new york attorney general erictia niderman who was a hillary clinton supporter and launched an investigation during the campaign said the foundation cannot legally dissolve until their investigation is complete. now, schneiderman has been investigating how trump used the foundation to settle personal business dealings. now, speaking of those personal business dealings, trump has also said that he's going to remove himself from his global business empire, but he's yet to explain how. and all of this news comes at a time as there is a bit of a staff shakeup for trump's incoming administration

>> great, thank yo >> you all know don king. who doesn't know don king? >> it's great to be an american. and now with our leader, we're going to make new days. make america great again. >> does donald trump believe that there is a human being anywhere on earth who thinks meeting with don king is the indication the world has been waiting for? that donald trump is now taking his new job seriously enough? it's the same don king who has done time for killing a man, the same don king who has been accused of stealing millions of dollars from boxers he has promoted. the trump team had announced that donald trump would make a major speech today about the economy and jobs. it turned out to be a one-minute statement. in which donald trump tried to take new credit today for some jobs that were already announced weeks ago. here now in its entirety, uncut is donald trump's major announcement about the american economy and jobs today. >> hello, everybody. so we just had some very good news because of what's happening and the spirit and the hope. i was just called by th

by then, don, it will have been in place for 20 months. an extraordinary measure that has become quite ordinary and, of course, it means the suspension of basic civics rights. people wonder how effective it is. the nature of the terrorist attack has simply changed. what we've seen is the last two major attacks on european soil have been against huge crowds of people with one man driving a truck into them. what a state of emergency can do to prevent that, what thousands, tens of thousands of policemen and women around the country can do to prevent that is one of the questions facing european services at the moment. >> goes beyond paris. you have talked about the human cost of extended surveillance. how long can a city like paris handle this and other city tz, as well? >> i think it's misleading to suggest that this kind of surveillance can be extended over the course of an emergency that gets into two years. this is about deterrence. not about prevention. you put more people on the streets and hope that a 20-year-old inexperienced walks up

i'm don lemon. trump's choice is unconventional, but isn't that what we've come to expect from the president-elect? plus, trump firing off twitter tirades against his critics with heavy chilling effect on those that disagree with him. trump voters on one college campus calling for safe spaces to allow them to express their views. has it come to this? is free speech under fire. also, the crime that became a national obsession, the murder of jonbenet ramsay, what the people closest to the investigation really think happened. we will get to that but i want to start with phil mattinglily for us at trump tower this evening. there is big news, phil. good evening, by the way. donald trump is picking rex tillerson for secretary of state. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: that's right, don. tomorrow morning the president-elect will announce who his top diplomat will be, and it will be as you noted rex sillerson, ceo. they didn't actually have a relationship prior to this process according to trump tran
