amy: kellyanne conway has been named counselor to the president. juan: i want to ask you, annie leonard, about the issue of president obama's drilling ban. recently announced in the arctic and the atlantic. could you talk about that in the significance of that? >> absolutely. while president obama has been far from perfect, this was a thing he did. obama withdrew a huge amount of land, over 115 million acres in the seas north of alaska. another 3.8 million acres in the atlantic coast between virginia and maine. we of the atlantic us, the arctic, now protected from oil and drilling. this is an absolutely fantastic thing on a number of fronts. one, it matches the science. the science is clear we need to keep oil in the ground. drilling in the arctic is very expensive and dangerous, very hard. that is why no company has been able to do excessively -- successfully. most start with the dangerous places to drill. leaving the oil in the ground in the arctic makes absolute scientific sense. the science merits it, but it also makes activists cents. great va

errol, you listened to kellyanne conway. she and the transition, we heard it also from reince priebus when he was on tv, they are very least suggesting this is done with politics in mind. it seems they do think this is done with politics in mind. she says barack obama is trying to box in donald trump. how would this box in donald trump? >> it would put him in a very uncomfortable position of allowing back in people who had already been expelled. it would put him in the uncomfortable position of undoing sanctions that had been imposed by the previous president. it would put him in the uncomfortable position of explicitly denying what the intelligence services have found and repeated for months now. what we heard there, kellyanne conway, great lady, i consider myself to be friendly with her, worked with her for years, but they are still acting like a campaign. they are still sort of suggesting that small tactical gains like trying to box in donald trump are what motivates this white house and what motivates the entire politica

kellyanne conway is incredibly talented. she obviously has been committed to getting donald trump elected. a masterfu masterful communicatd very much prepared to do this job. i think for kellyanne it will be a key about basically setting boundaries and saying this is the hours i'm going to work. i will be on my phone. it's a wonderful thing about technology you will be able to be in contact. i think it was key for kellyanne to stay in the inner circle. to be part of the jared, ryans, bannon group. i think she will be allowed to shape the message and also be able to be part of the poli(d discussions to push through donald trump's agenda. >> we got more of the team today. sean spicer there has been a lot of speculation he is officially going to be the white house press secretary. jason miller and dan who were all part of the trump machine moving into this victorious win spicer, of course, is at the rnc. whats to it say to you. we are getting this interesting mix of people that would be called quote, unquote establishment and p

we heard from kellyanne conway at the top of the show, and on this particular issue. in your view, are we reading too much into this call or could this truly impact diplomatic relations between, you know, the united states and china two huge trading partners, and sometimes adversaries in asia? how do you see it playing out? >> i think there are a lot of questions going forward about what donald trump's policy towards china will be, and how u.s. relations with china will change under his administration, and certainly this call makes clear that he doesn't really have any standing policy right now at the moment. but you did hear the chinese foreign minister come out and say this was a petty move on behalf of taiwan's president, and he doesn't anticipate the change in the long-standing one china policy in the u.s. government, and that's reassuring but donald trump has questions to answer and so does kellyanne conway who seemed hesitant this morning to say whether or not he has been routinely receiving the state department briefings and is current with diplomatic relations

but what world is kellyanne conway going to play in all of this? and i find it interesting, because she told a lot of us over the course of several months that she was going to go home and spend time with her kids. >> right. it was a little bit unexpected. we really expected her to just stay in new york city with her four children, but what she brings is, she has a long history as a pollster. she understands the electorate really well, understands women, she has a specialty in advertising and polling women, in strategizing for a message to woman. she also just, you know, she is a trusted voice. trump really rewards people who helped him win. and this little spot of communication staffers and his inner circle is not really inner circles. they were all people who were there with him on that night when he won this race. >> and karine, understanding that a lot of people like you and those on the democratic side are not really happy with any of the picks from donald trump, what do you make of kellyanne conway? >> it's not surprising as all. we knew she

kellyanne conway as superwoman. undeniably she did save the campaign. does she get the credit she deserves? >> i don't think there's been much applaud for kellyanne breaking a barrier and important barrier in american politics and she was the first woman to manage a republican presidential campaign and she won. so, yeah, she deserves some credit for that. you know, trump is a very polarizing person and so there are a lot of people that don't like trump and not dwelled on the fact that he broke or kellyanne broke the barrier and she'll go in the history books of first woman to successfully run a republican presidential campaign. first one to do it and win. >> still waiting to see when she gets to take a nap. i swear she works around the clock and mother of four. >> interesting to see if she takes a white house job or not. >> yep. thank you. have a great week. >> you, too. >>> his remarks replayed and shared for days and days. they went viral. van jones joins me to talk about the candid and frank conversations with voters on the other side of the aisle. i
