thank united technologies, but we've been meeting with a lot of companies. but what really is happening is the word is now out that when you want to move your plant to mexico or some other place and you want to fire all of your workers from michigan and ohio and all these places that i won for good reason, not going to happen that way anymore. you want to move your plant and you think as an example you'll build that plant in mexico and you're going to make your air conditioners or cars or whatever you're making and you're going to sell it through what will be a very, very strong border, not a weak border like -- we don't even have a border. it is an open sieve but it's not going to happen. you'll pay a very large border tax. so, if you want to move to another country and if you want to fire all of our great american workers that got you there in the first place, you can move from michigan to tennessee and to

and south carolina, you can move from south carolina back to michigan, you can do anywhere -- you got a lot of states at play, a lot of competition. so it's not like, oh, gee, i'm taking the competition. you got a lot of placing you can move and i don't care. as long as it's within the united states. the borders of the united states. there will be a major border tax on these companies that are leaving and getting away with murder and if our politicians had what it takes they would have done this years ago and you'd have millions more workers right now in the united states that are 96 million really wanting a job and they can't get, you know that story, the real number. that's the real number. so, that's the way it is. okay, go ahead. >> president-elect, i have a question about the supreme court and the border security but i also want to ask about something you said on twitter. are we living in nazi germany. what were you driving at there? do you have a problem with the intelligence community? and on the supreme court, what is your

you said a while ago you were down to four. have you conducted those interviews yet? what's your time line for nominating and on the border fence, it now appears clear u.s. taxpayers will have to pay for it up front. what is your plan to get mexico to pay for it. >> do you have any more? [ laughter ] on the fence, it's not a fence, it's a wall. you just misreported it. we're going to build a wall. i could wait about a year and a half until we finish our negotiations with mexico, which will start immediately after we get to office, but i don't want to wait. mike pence is leading an effort to get final approvals through various agencies and through congress for the wall to begin. i don't feel like waiting a year or a year and a half. we're going to start building. mexico in some form and there are many different forms will reimburse us and they will reimburse us for the cost of the wall. that will happen. whether it's a tax or whether it's a paymen

it will happen. so remember this, okay. i would say we are going to build a wall and people would go crazy. i would then say who is going to pay for the wall and people would all scream out, 25,000, 30,000 people because nobody's ever had crowds like trump has had. you though that. you don't like to report that but that's okay. okay, now we agree. finally he agrees. but, i say who is going to pay for the wall and they will scream out, mexico. now, reports went out last week, oh, mexico is not going to pay for the wall because of a reimburse many. what's the difference? i want to get the wall started. i don't want to wait a year and a half until i make my deal with mexico. so -- and we probably will have a deal sooner than that and by the way, mexico has been so nice, so nice, i respect the government of mexico. i respect the people of mexico. i lover the people of mexico. i have many people from mexico working for me. they're phenomenal people. the government of

terrific. i don't blame them for what's happened. i don't blame them for taking advantage of the united states. i wish our politicians were so smart. mexico has taken advantage of the united states. i don't blame the representatives and various presidents, et cetera, of mexico. what i say is we shouldn't have allowed that to happen. it's not going to happen anymore. so in order to get the wall started, mexico will pay for the wall. but it'll be reimbursed, okay. supreme court judge, so, as you know i have a list of 20. i've gone through them. we've met with numerous candidates. they're outstanding in every case. they were largely recommended and highly recommended by federalist society jim demint was very much involved and his group which is fantastic and he is a fantastic guy so between

senators and congress people we have a great group of people. i'll be making the decision on who we will put up for justice of the united states supreme court, a replacement for the great, great justice scalia, that will be probably within two weeks of the 20th, so within about two weeks probably the second week i consider the first day because we'll also be doing some pretty good signings and i think what we'll do is we'll wait till monday, that will be our really first business day as opposed to doing it on friday because on friday people will have a very good time at the inauguration and then saturday as you know we're having a big church service and lots of good things are happening so our first day and you'll all be invited to the signings but we'll be doing some pretty good signings on monday and tuesday and wednesday and thursday and friday and then also the next week and you're all invited. but on the supreme court i'll be making

be a decision which i very strongly believe in. i think it's one of the reasons i got elected. i think the people of this country did not want to see what was happening with the supreme court so i think it was a very, very big decision as to why i was elected. >> the tweet are we living in nazi germany. what were you driving at. >> i think it was disgraceful. disgraceful that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to be so false and fake out. i think it's a disgrace. and i say that and i say that and that's something that nazi germany would have done and did do. i think it's a disgrace. that information that was false and fake and never happened got released to the public as far as buzzfeed which is a failing pile of garbage, writing it, i think they'll suffer the consequences, they already are and as far as cnn going out of their way t

build it up and by the way, we just found out i was coming down, michael cohen, michael is a very talented lawyer in my firm who just reported it wasn't this michael cohen we're talking about so all night long it's michael cohen. i said i want to see your passport. he brings his passport to my office. i say, hey, wait a minute. he didn't leave the country. he wasn't out of the country. they had michael cohen of the trump organization was in prague. it turns out to be a different michael cohen. it's a disgrace, what took place, it's a disgrace and i think they ought to apologize to start with, michael cohen. >> question. >> go ahead. >> mr. president-elect -- >> go ahead. >> since you are -- >> not you. not you. your organization is terrible. >> attacking our news organization is terrible. let's go. go ahead. >> quiet. quiet. >> mr. president-elect -- >> go ahead. she's asking a question. don't be rude. >> can you give us -- >> don't be rude. >> can you give us a question? >> don't be -- i'm not going to give -- i'm not goi

you a question. you are fake news. sir, can you say categorically that nobody -- now, mr. president-elect, that's not appropriate. >> go ahead. >> mr. president, president obama, do you think he went too far with the sanctions he put on russia after the hacking. >> i don't say he went too far. >> will you roll them back. >> no. >> what do you think of lindsey graham's plan to send you a bill for -- >> for what? i hadn't heard he was going to do that. lindsey graham, i've been competing with him for a long time and he's going to crack that 1% barrier one day. i didn't realize lindsey graham is still at it. it's all right. i think lindsey graham is a nice guy. i've heard he's a nice guy and i've been hearing it. go ahead. go ahead. you've been waiting. >> as far as we understand the intelligence community -- >> stand up. >> from bbc news. ian panel from bbc news. >>

another beauty. >> thank you. as far as we understand the intelligence community are still looking at these allegations, it's false news as you describe it. if they come back with any kind of conclusion that's any of it stands up, if any of it is true, will you consider your position, would you -- >> there's nothing they can come back with, okay, yes, go ahead. >> can you -- >> go ahead. >> -- fake news and all the problems that we've seen throughout the media over the course of the election, what reforms do you recommend for this industry here? >> well, i don't recommend reforms. i recommend people that are -- that have some moral compass. you know, i've been hearing more and more about fake news and talking about people that go and say all sorts of things but i will tell you some of the media outlets that i deal with are fake news, more so than anybody. i could name them but i won't bother but you have few sitting right in front of us. so they're very, very

people. but i think it's just something we'll have to live with. i guess the advantage i have is that i can speak back. when it happens to somebody that doesn't have this -- doesn't have that kind of a megaphone, they can't speak back. it's a very sad thing. i've seen people destroyed. i've seen people absolutely destroyed and i think it's very unfair. so all i can ask for is honest reporte reporters, yes. >> mr. president-elect just wanted to follow up on the questions about the u.s. intelligence community and be very clear about what you're saying. do you trust your u.s. intelligence officials and what do you say to foreign policy experts who say you're weakening national security by waning this war of words against that community? >> intelligence agencies are vital and very, very important. we are going to be putting in, as you know, mr. pompeo and other, you know the senator, dan coates and we'll put in outstanding people. within 90 days

back to me with a major report on hacking, i want them to cover this situation, i also want them, however, to cover maybe most importantly because we're hacked by everybody. you know, the united states, our government, out of a list of 17 in terms of intel industries is the worst, it's number 17 in terms of protection if you look at the retail industry, if you look at the banking industry, various industries, out of 17 industries, they put this in the category of an industry, the united states is last in terms of protecting, let's say, hacking defense like we had a great hacking defense at the republican national committee. that's why we weren't hacked. by the way, we were told they were trying to hack us but they weren't able to hack and i think i get some credit because i told reince and reince did a phenomenal job but i said i want strong hacking defense. the democr

that's why the country runs so badly that way. but i will tell you, wait, wait, let me finish. within 90 days we will be coming up with a major report on hacking defense, how do we stop this new phenomena fairly new phenomena because the united states is hacked by everybody. that includes russia and china and everybody, everybody. okay. >> mr. president-elect -- >> go ahead. >> mr. president-elect, you said just now you believe that russia indeed was responsible for the hacking of the dnc and e-mails, et cetera. >> you know what, could have been others also. >> why did you spend weeks undermining u.s. intelligence community before simply getting the facts and then making a public statement? >> i think it's pretty sad when intelligence reports get leaked out to the press. i think it's pretty sad. first of all it's illegal. you know, these are --

classified and certified meetings and reports. i'll tell you what does happen, i have many meetings with intelligence and every time i meet people are reading about it. somebody is leaking it out. so, maybe it's my office, maybe my office, because i have a lot of people, a lot of great people. maybe it's them. and what i did is i said i won't tell anybody. i'll have a meeting and i won't tell anybody about my meeting with intelligence and what happened is i had my meeting, nobody knew, not even rona, my executive assistant for years, she didn't know, i didn't tell her. nobody knew, the meeting was had. the meeting was over, they left and immediately the word got out i had a meeting, so i don't want that. i don't want that. it's very unfair to the country. it's very unfair to our country what's happened. that report should have never -- first of all it shouldn't have

worth the paper it's printed on and thank "the new york times" for saying that and thanks a lot of different people for saying that but i will tell you that should never ever happen.

in this country by china. and that's because we have no defense. that's because we're run by people that don't know what they're doing. russia will have far greater respect for our country when i'm leading it and i believe -- and i hope maybe it won't happen, it's possible, but i won't be giving a little reset button like hillary, here, press this piece of plastic. a guy looked at her like what is she doing. there's no reset button. we'll either get along or not. i hope we get along. if not that's possible too but russia and other countries and other countries including china which is taking total advantage of us economically and total advantage of us in the south china sea by building their massive fortress, total, russia, china, japan, mexico, all countries will respect us far more, far more than they do under past administrations.

this is all just so you understand, these papers because i'm not sure that was explained properly. but these papers are all just a piece of the many, many companies that are being put into trust to be run by my two sons and i hope at the end of eight years i'll come back and i'll say, oh, you did a good job, otherwise, if they do a bad job i'll say, you're fired. good-bye, everybody. good-bye. >> well, that was extraordinary. president-elect donald trump wrapping up about an hour-long press conference at trump tower. taking >> now, abc 7 news at noon, on your side. you were just watching president-elect donald trump, that news conference going off in new york city. minutes ago, he wrapped up

first rest conference since the election. our john gonzalez live in the newsroom of what the president-elect had to say and [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] ahn: that conference had little bit of everything, even attacking some of the reporters. his first first news since winning the -- his first news conference since winning the election. allegations of lewd sex acts and prostitutes in russia, the president-elect calling it an " fake story" and a "political witchhunt." he spoke from his trump towers in new york city only 90's before he is expected to become the 45th president of the united states. after blasting some of the media, he started speaking in detail about the auto industry, thanking ford, fiat, chrysler for agreeing to build in the united states. he began taking questions, the first one had to do with hacking. he sayhe

other countries around the world, and people do not seem to get upset. take a look. mr. trump: i will be the greatest jobs producer that got ever created, and i mean that. if putin likes donald trump, i consider that an asset, not a liability. we have a horrible relationship with russia. russia can help us fight isis. then he started taking apart reporters, saying whether they were reporting fake news or not. speaking about whether the phony nationalcreated by agencies. near the end, he posted a question, did he really think hillary would be tougher on putin than him, and he said, quote, "give me a break." john gonzalez, abc 7 news. jummy:

the hot seat. rex tillerson has been on capitol hill for all of this. sam sweeneyd by live from the rotunda. afternoon. as expected, russia and vladimir putin are dominating the confirmation hearing right now for rex tillerson. some presently, we learned that tillerson and donald trump have never had a conversation about russia, and th only met last month for the first time. as for foreign policy, rex tillerson just told the senate foreign relations committee it is likely the russia and u.s. will never be friends, fighting that "our two nations do not have the same values." tillerson continued the belief that russia should be held accountable for actions in crimea, aleppo, and its actions with cyber security. senator marco rubio pushed tillerson further, asked if he would label vladimir putin a

criminal," and tillerson said "i would not use that term." allowd he will not adversaries or allies to fall short on promises, calling out china and russia by the name. tillerson: we faced considerable new threats in this environment your to china has emerged as an economic power in global trade, and our interactions have been adversarial. while russia seeks respect and relevance on the global stage, it's recent activities have disregarded america's interest. radical islam is not a new ideology, but it is hateful, deadly, and an illegitimate expression of the islamic faith. adversaries like iran and north korea pose great threats to the world because of their inability to reform to international norms. sam: tillerson went on to state that china needs to be held accountable for its inaction when it comes

he would be the first secretary of state to never hold public office. reporting live in the rotunda on capitol hill, i am sam sweeney. jummy: thank you. we want to return to breaking news, prince george's county delegate michael vaughan has resigned from the house of delegates in the wake of that prince george's county bribery scandal. this announcement comes a day after former county council meeting compas --
