than one-tenth of the new air force one. s private 757 200 is known as trump force one, and trump has long boasted that it's better than the president's ride. it's got gold seat buckles, gold faucets, gold in-laid wood and gold lighting hardware. it's also got a state-of-the-art multi-media system for watching more than 1,000 movies. it's got live tv anywhere in the world. it's got leather seats, custom dyed for mr. trump's favorite color, and the trump family crest is embroidered on all of the sofa seats and cushions. he bought the plane from microsoft co-founder paul allen in 2010. he said he paid about $100 million, but sources close to the deal tell me it was less than $50 million. now, he spent less than $10 million on the renovation and refit. the total cost of trump force one was you should $60 million. let's compare that to air force one where two planes are expected to cost $1.65 billion, or around $830 million per plane. more than 13 times trump's plane. now, aviation experts say his plane is a little more luxurious

he said the order for air force one should be canceled. look forward to working with the u.s. air force on subsequent phases of the program allowing us to deliver the best plan for the president at the best value for the american taxpayer. we are currently under contract for $170 million to determine that it abilities of this aircraft thatry serves the unique requirements of the president of the united states. we will hear more and a few moments, digging into the cost of air force one. economy,g to the u.s. novembers low unemployment -- november's low employment -- on employment numbers -- our next guest says the fed will stick to its current script. joining me is neil dutta. thank you for coming in. that unemployment figure does not seem to be changing the market view that we will get that raise in december and perhaps two next year. you think that is pretty much what we can indeed expect? neil: i think that is what we should expect. the question is whether the markets will continue to expect it. this is a very unusual situation because t

reuters is quoting the boeing ceo who -- when he was made to react to the $4.2 billion estimate for air force one that it had been paired down a little bit. he said we're committed to working together and make sure that happens. this is a business that's important to us. we work on air force one because it is important to our country and we're going to make sure that he gets the best capability and that it is done affordably. this air force one contract is years away in the making. in other words, it might not be available until at least 2021 and maybe later than that. so it might not even be a jet that donald trump would be using in this event. but back to charlie gasparino and these other ones, a similar meeting presumably about some of these costs that grow exponentially which is the nature of government contracts. some say cynically, too much so. but he does seem to be sending a clear message here as we're looking at the respective stocks and how they faired on the day, that business as usual won't be business as usual with me. what do you think of that? >> yeah, particularly when it comes to

i mean, when people think of air force one they think of president obama landing in a town waving to the crowd. but really, the mission of this plane is the 9/11 scenario. it has to have electronic counter-measures on board for surviveability. it basically has to be a flying white house, mobile command and control center. so you have electronic counter measures such as jamming devices, you have flares that can throw off enemy missiles, and a huge amount of communication. the president needs to be able to talk to the nuclear forces whenever he needs to. so if you're in a scenario where you need to be up in the air indefinitely potentially what you really need is something that can survive, has aerial refuelling, it has a lot of fuel capacity. something that you can stay up in the air indefinitely. so while it's a big price tag, it seems like, and many national security efforts have said it's worth the cost. in fact, they're hopeful that trump will maybe turn around his opinion. my sources have told me that boeing leadership reached out to trump earlier in the day, and they had a very c

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 be driving in a 35-year-old plane, so why did donald trump attack boeing today? 22 minutes before donald trump's tweet, this article was posted in the chicago tribune, boeing ceo waits for trump's trade play. the article quoted boeing's ceo saying last year we delivered 495 737s from our customers around the world. one of every three were bound for china. and about a quarter were bound to chinese cu

the dow component is the sole supplier of air force one, used to transport the president of the unitedtates around the globe. and has done so since the 1940s. but today the president-elect had a complaint. the cost of the new air force one is too high, and the order should be cancelled. philip lebeau has more on mr. trump's criticism. >> reporter: donald trump is at it again. now he's calling out boeing, the company that made every air force one, and is working on the next generation of 747s that will eventually carry u.s. presidents, starting in 2024. he tweeted, costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. cancel order. a few minutes later, trump blasted boeing again. >> the plane is totally out of control. it's going to be over $4 billion. for air force one program. and i think it's ridiculous. i think boeing is doing a little bit of a number. we want boeing to make a lot of money, but not that much money. >> reporter: how much will the next payer of presidential airplanes cross? the department of defense said $2.7ing about to be spent over the next two years and that's before th

we work on air force one, because it's important to our country. and we're going to make sure that he gets the best capability and that it's done affordably. >> again, the final price that will be set for air force one for that project for the two new 747s, that remains to be seen. but you can bet, it is not going to be over $4 billion after donald trump has made that very public mark out there in terms of this cost has to be much lower than that, and there you see dennis muilenburg leaving mara lago this afternoon. we saw this with carrier and now boeing and lockheed martin. >> art of the deal. and phil, a couple key differences between these two companies that you know, our viewers probably know. but it is worth pointing out that air force one for boeing is much smaller overpart of the revenues where lockheed is much bigger. boeing has the commercial business. lockheed martin does not. the pressure could really be felt by lockheed. whose ceo did not come out and make a statement. >> absolutely. and there are a lot of unknowns with the f-35 program

and you will need a replacement air force one. k, the current one went into service in the early 1990s. if you wait until 2023, which is when we think you'll have the next generation come into service, i mean that's getting towards the end of the life cycle for a 747. it doesn't mean that it's going to fall out of the sky, but it's getting towards the ending of the life cycle. you don't want to wait too much longer and that's why you're seeing the development going on right now through 2019 and then they start to build it. it's not like building a regular 747. having been in wichita when they were building the previous one, the wiring, the connectivity, the technology that goes into it, i mean this is a special project that takes time and, therefore, the added cost. now, donald trump is saying it shouldn't cost that much and that's where the negotiation begins. >> yeah. that negotiation being the operative word, phil. thanks so much, our phil lebeau. we'll have a lot more of this coming up with ambassador nicholas burns. in the mea

you're looking at it right now, a projection of $4 billion to develop and build and buy those two air force one planes. now, in defense of the air force, these are not just 747s. these are planes that would be used as an airborne command post for the commander in chief. somewhere where he needs to be able to direct nuclear war if necessary. vis-a-vis able to withstand military attack with, you know, electromagnetic shields and things like this, so this is no ordinary airplane. they're only building two of them. unlike boeing when they build 757s, they build hundreds or thousands. you can recoup your development costs. you're talking about two unique air care here. they're going to be more expensive. what is the cost? >> thanks a lot. and michael is going to stay with us. i think that bigger issue here, guys, we're talking about this in our meeting, to what extent is mr. trump going to insert himself in the u.s. government into the affairs of private business? and is the government effectively seeking a board seat at every single company in the united states by saying, what we want to say and we

what indicates more of that is the white house responding and donald trump saying cancel this air force oneouse says some of statistics that he cited on air force one do not appear to reflect arrangements between boeing and the department of defense. the white house says americans would expect that future presidents would benefit from upgrades to air force one. then again, mr. trump has already said i don't want the thing. cancel it. here we go. >> the plane totally out of control. it's going to be over $4 billion. it's for the air force one program, and i think it's ridiculous. i think boeing is doing a little bit of a number. we want boeing to make a lot of money, but not that much money. neil: all right, that was donald trump commenting on this $4 billion charge now, estimate for air force one. i think it's technically two planes here. still, any plane that the president travels in automatically gets the designation of air force one. obviously, we're referring to the boeing planes that they've been making for the last two decades for the commander in chief, and this is one incoming comma

the air force has contracted with boeing to replace the aging air force one 747s. hen trump discovered the price tag, he blew up on twitter today writing, "boeing is building a brand new 747 air force one for future presidents but costs are out of control. more than $4 billion. cancel order." the president-elect suggested boeing is playing fast and loose with military budgets. >> i think boeing is doing a little bit of a number. we want boeing to make a lot of money but not that much money. okay. thank you. >> reporter: trump today continued his search for secretary of state meet with exxonmobil ceo rex tillerson, first time he brougadened his horizon outside of politics for secretary of state. his vice president-elect insists trump is simply looking for the best person for the job. >> he's going to listen to on an ongoing basis a broad range of counselors, a broad range of candidates. i'm very confident he's going to choose a secretary of state that's going to be able to carry the trump agenda, putting america first, onto the world stage. >> reporter: as the presid

make a lot of money but not that much money. >> reporter: the two planes that currently serve as air force one are more than 25 years old. they are the last 747-200 series passenger jets still in use in the united states. the air force contracted with boeing last year to begin designing two or three replacements, slated for completion in 2023. mark rosenker oversaw upgrades to air force one after the 9/11 attacks. >> it is cheaper to buy a brand new aircraft, bring it into the 21st century, than to try to maintain an aircraft that was built in the 80s. >> reporter: it was unclear what triggered mr. trump's comments today, but his tweet came just 22 minutes after the "chicago tribune" posted this article, highlighting differences between mr. trump and boeing's c.e.o. whether it comes to trade with china. the president-elect has also signaled a preference for his own jet, insisting last summer that "air force one is a step down in every way," though his 757 can't refuel midair or deflect missiles. >> it's a beautiful aircraft but is not capable of supporting the profit of the united states. >> r

the headline from the president-elect, yes, to good candidates for the administration but no to air force one, at least the new one. >> trump tweeted this morning he'd like to see canceled the order. cancel the order for the new plane which is to replace some of the aging air force one fleet in operation now. here is why according to the president-elect this morning. >> well, the plane is totally out of control. it's going to be over $4 billion for air force one program. and i think it's ridiculous. i think boeing is doing a little bit of a number. we want boeing to make a lot of money but not that much money. okay, thank you. >> but how much is too much money, really. cnn's jessica schneider is outside trump tower asking that very question. do we know why the president-elect is taking this issue on, air force one, why is he taking this on right now? >> we don't really know, kate. we've been waiting for a press conference from the president-elect. perhaps this is the closest we'll get. inside the lobby at trump tower this morning, donald trump being asked one question, giving one answer as to

of course the new air force one will be a 747-8. the old air force ones, 747-200s. he greeted the pool cameras just inside the trump tower lobby and had this to say. >> well, the plane is totally out of control. it's going to be over $4 billion. for air force one program. and i think it's ridiculous. i think boeing is doing a little bit of a number. we want boeing to make a lot of money but not that much money. >> now, interestingly, it was donald trump earlier this year that actually went off on air force one, calling it a very old airplane, saying it had old gins and it was spewing stuff. potentially now changing his tune, talking about cost overrun. this would not be completely unprecedented. in 2009 president obama took office he canceled a marine one contract order that was running in the range of $11 billion. that order canceled. could president-elect trump do the same thing. we shall see. perhaps now it is back to business. donald trump has a number of meetings this morning, many intriguing meetings. one with exxon ceo rex tillerson. being added to what conti

but why would they be building a brand-new air force one? billion is a lot of dough. >> this is a stunner. the white house has been insistent that they need ultimately a new air force one. the official order was put in in 2015. it won't be finished until 2023, and at that point in time, air force one will be 32 years old. if you need more context, the plane that president obama currently traveled around in was put in order under president reagan. so the white house has been insistent that, look, they need to upgrade air force one. but there is no doubt the cost is quite high. but the broader question here, steph, is this essentially bullying businesses? what is going to come of this essential threat that the president-elect has made toward boeing. will he actually try to get this order canceled? we'll have to wait and see if in fact this does go through, but there's no doubt this is going to send shockwaves throughout washington. boeing, the business community, and the white house as well. again, a lot of them insistent that this was critica

air force. remember, this is an air force contract with boeing to build the pair of 747s that will be the next generation of air force onesl conducting risk reduction activities with boeing to inform the engineering and manufacturing development contract negotiations that will define the capabilities and cost. we have budgeted $2.7 billion for the fiscal year 2017 future years defense program for research, development, test and evaluation but expect this number to change as the program matures with the completion of the risk reduction activities. a lot of terms there that you often hear with military contracts, risk reduction, trying to work in terms of bringing costs down. the fact remains, guys, historically military contracts are never under budget. it is rare that they come under budget and they often are well over budget. it is that message that donald trump hit on this morning that is resonating with some people. >> i heard robert frank earlier saying that it's possible that mr. trump is looking at his own jet, the 757 that he flies around and feeling like he can get a better deal. >> is that possible? >> there is n

let's play the sound with donald trump talking about stopping a new air force one, getting rid of boeing's contract. >> the plane is totally out of control. it's going to be over $4 billion, this air force one program and i think it's ridiculous. i think boeing is doing a little bit of a number. we want boeing to make a lot of money but not that much money. >> you looked in distress. >> i am. there's no contract yet. there's an -- i've got the details here. they put out an order, there's no specific agreement for any planes. the number being talked about is $2.9 billion, so far boeing has received a contract of -- >> $2.9 billion is what's budgeted by the air force. >> yes. >> $170 million is going for exploration and research. so you've got -- i'm not saying it's fake news but what he has done is putting this figure of $4 billion, nice round number, and he's put it front and foremost in people's minds and suddenly everybody sees these planes are $2 billion each boondoggle gold plated lavatories, whatever you want to call it. and as far as i'm aware there's no contract yet to build any suc

air force one doesn't cost $4 billion. it doesn't cost anywhere close. ly outfitted air force one, which is a very complicated plane, not just a plane. most of the electronics and the security stuff is what costs the money, about $1.7, $1.8 billion. they build two of them at a time. so donald trump saying it's $4 billion was in typical fashion something of an exaggeration. it may have been triggered by a speech given by the ceo of boeing last week, in which he rightfully voiced some concern that if donald trump gets into a trade war, particularly with china, boeing is likely to suffer from that, which is a fact. because boeing and airbus sell most of the commercial airplanes in the world. this may be donald trump taking a swipe at the ceo of boeing, as much as about the program, because generally speaking, for most of donald trump's presidency, he'll be flying on the old air force one, which is towards the end of its service life. >> what do you think caused the hubris on the stock markets coming a couple days after the election? >> when you look at it, t

it's for air force one program, and i think it's ridiculous. i think boeing is doing a little bit of a number. we want boeing to make a lot of money, but not that much money. >> the air force budgeted $2.9 billion for two new planes to be ready by the year 2022, but so far it is only awarded boeing one contract worth $170 million. president-elect trump is also focusing in on transition business today. he has a series of meetings before heading to north carolina for the next stop on his thank you tour. he holds a rally in fayetteville, north carolina, later tonight followed by stops in des moines, iowa, thursday and grand rapids, michigan, on friday. vice president-elect mike pence motorcade arrived back here in washington where some lawmakers are concerned about trump's threat to impose tariffs on goods made overseas. we get the latest from our correspondents jessica schneider outside trump tower in new york city. manu raju is on capitol hill. jessica, who are the people trump is meeting with today? what should we expect from him in north caroli

so, clint, you were then there when the transition took place to the new president aboard air force one>> yes. i was onboard air force one as vice president johnson took the oath of office. he asked mrs. kennedy to stand beside him while he did so, and she willingly did that. she thought it was important that people see that there was an orderly transfer of government, but also that she refused to clean up or change clothes because she wanted the people to see what they, what had been done. and so we took off from love field, and we flew directly to andrews air force base in maryland and then transferred the body out to bethesda naval hospital where an autopsy was performed. >> and so you were assigned to stay with mrs. kennedy for one more year. >> they decided that they should have somebody with her. they asked her who she wanted, and she asked that some of the agents who had been with the children stay with the children, and she asked if i could stay with her for that year, and i did. >> and so this is a photo taken in october of 1964. it actually was a photo that we found in clint's

government waste today, blasting boeing for wasting taxpayer dollars on a new presidential plane, air force one. i am trish regan, welcome to "the intelligence report." the ultimate businessman putting boeing on notice, calling for the cancellation of air force one. he elaborated a short time ago to reporters. watch. >> it's going to be over $4 billion. it's for air force one program. and i think it's ridiculous. i think boeing is doing a little bit of a number. we want boeing to make a lot of money but not that much money. [laughter] trish: all right. we've got more on trump's push to rein in government spending and what it's going to mean for the likes of boeing and other companies. you know, you think about some of these companies that have been given blank checks for decades, things might change. now, amid the boeing controversy, mr. trump is meeting with advisers today at trump tower, you're looking at a live picture. a lot of people going in and out. he's still searching for a secretary of state. exxon ceo rex tillerson met him at trump tower and remains a contender. former ronald reagan

it's going to be over $4 billion for this air force one program, and i think it is ridiculous. i think boeing is doing a little bit of a number. we want money, but not that much money. thank you. patrick: on the other side of the aisle, vice president biden has been joking that he'll soon be announcing a run for president in 2020. meantime, trump continues his thank you tour tonight with a stop in north carolina where , he'll officially introduce his pick for defense secretary, retired general james mattis. toya: it's day six of the wisconsin recount. so far no issues to report. , the wisconsin elections counties have totals. the remaining counties are on track to complete everything by the deadline of 8:00 on monday, p.m. december 12. in michigan a federal judge in , detroit ordered a statewide hand recount of roughly 4.8 million ballots. that process has now started in eight of the state's 83 counties. republicans have appealed the ruling. also, state legislators passed a bill that would make jill stein pay retroactively for the entire recount cost. patrick: officials in oakla

so he wants to threaten this plane manufacturer from producing new air force ones which is not the righto. and he is also. >> so it's -- hold on, slow down. wait, slow down. so you think that whatever boeing is charging for these two 747s, the replacements for air force one, that's a good number and it's somehow immoral to question that? is that your point? >> did i not say it's immoral to question that. >> then what's wrong with questioning it? >> is he canceling the order. that's different from canceling an order for them is a lot different than renegotiating a price. >> okay. that's -- >> am i right, tucker? >> i don't know that it is right. i don't know enough about and it i suspect you don't either and that's kind of my point. why should we, because it's never been done before say whoa, wait a second, i have never heard that before. i'm against it that's sort of we hate everything we don't understand. it's kind of an eighth grade posture not annual adult one, right? what specifically is wrong with canceling that contract, do you know? >> there is nothing specifically wrong with canc

they're getting air force one and two. e have $170 million deal with boeing currently. but for the air force one and two, the estimate was going to be --ç boeing says, $4 billionn the normal way to do business in d.c. okay $4 billion, here you go. donald trump says hold on. no. no. this can come in lower. this can come in under budget and on time. boeing, they have a big meeting. the ceo says we're going to come in under budget and on time. now donald trump says, boeing did it. every one of you defense -- every other contractor -- >> on notice. >> it's not picking up every piece of trash. it's saying, we want -- see how we cleaned up this park? >> stop building systems and weapons that the military doesn't need. it happens all the time. >> you are going to get us in trouble. >> no. give the military what they need, not what congressional districts want as favors. >> that's the way -- eric is saying -- that's the way the system works. some congressman says it's my district. >> let's build tanks. tanks for the memories. >> t

pushing back on the tweet be president-elect that boeing contact for new air force one should be canceled due to the high >> id is over $4 billion for the air force one program. it's ridiculous. boeing is doing a little bit of a number. we want boeing to make a lot of money but not that much moneyment larry: the pentagon budgeted $2.7 billion through 2021 to build two new planes. the current aircra nearing the end of the operational lifespan. among those to get the time now with president-elect today was d.c. mayor muriel bowser. sam ford traveled to new york and he tells us what was discussed between the leaders who occupy opposite ends of the political spectrum. >> bowser took the train up. she brought her two top aides and later telling reporters that trump met with the three of them alone for 40 minutes. like. >> he wants to know about his new hometown, certainly. and i think that it was an important perspective from him to hear from a mayor of a major american city. >> bouzer who skipped the opening of the trump d.c. hotel in october saying it was a campaign event

one. the u.s. air force is very involved in deterring, countering the threat we have what we call the continuous bomber presence that takes place on guam. we've had the one, b-52 and b-2 deployed to want that to 300 patrols in the pacific. they are there. they are available at a moment's notice to do whatever we would need them to do. similarly in south korea we have forces stationed there along with the army, along with the rest of u.s. military. we have a very, very close relationship with our south korean counterparts. and then finally i will tell you, as north korea has been testing nuclear weapons, testing launch capabilities of late, the reason why we know a lot of this is because the u.s. air force has the monitoring of the detection systems to know exactly what went on. was it a nuclear weapon or was it something else and what was the possible yield of it? we have all of the systems to be able to then explain to our leaders, our allies, partners, and in some cases the world what is happened. he goes

quote, boeing a building air force one for future presidents but costs are out of control. rove, fox news contributor has experience on air force one. how are you doing? >> i'm doing fabulous? bill: what do you think of that approach? let's start there. >> it's part of the world we live in and he will continue to keep tweeting. but this was fire ready aim in my opinion. first of all, there's not a contract for $4 billion, there's a contract for 170 million, it's not to build one plane, actually the goal will ultimately build 3 planes but the contract that exists is to drop the technological designed and specifications all that the air force and secret service and element that the government want in the new fleet of air force ones. third, boeing -- whatever the price ends up being, boeing lost money on the two planes that it sold the government 29 years ago in all likelihood, boeing will not make money or much money on the new fleet of three air force ones contemplated. this is their responsibility to serve the country. bill: i got you. 30,000 feet right now, literally with

these are expensive planes and intention communications on them, air force missile systems. air force one and marine one helicopters have been targets in the past. obama said the marine one project is too much. this has happened in the past. it's a negotiating tactic and he took on boeing during the campaign to say they were going to prepare seats for aircraft selling to the china market in china. one of the jobs -- this is not a new target. >> take the cure ig machine out of there. >> this softbank i never heard of, $50 billion, out there excited about that. >> big telecommunications company and his son runs it. he already has big investments in the united states. softbank owns 80% of sprint. he has other tech investments, he wants to as he puts it be the warren buffett of technology. he's going to be investing in a lot of tech start-ups and projects in the united states. he also has an eye on emerging operations of sprint and t-mobile and backed away from that recently figuring that regulators would get in the way. new administration, new fcc, thinking he has a better shot

it's air force one, of course. in a few years when air force one is retired it is expected to be replaced with a new, heavily modified boeing but not if trump gets his wish. he says the price tag is too much. "7 on your side" watchdog investigator chris papst in the newsroom. the cost of air force one, chris, he says it's insane. he said he would rather do something else. chris: he says it's in the many billions of dollars. we'll get to that. this is the current air force one that the president flies in. this is an ald plane. -- old plane. they started a process to get a new air force one and president-elect trump says he doesn't want it. the new 747 that is being built to carry future presidents will cost more than $4 billion and he wants to "cancel that order." the new air force one would be a 747-8, rather than a 747-200 which is used now. the new one is faster and gets boeing has built the plane used by every president since franklin roosevelt. they have $7 billion budgeted for the new plane but it could go up i
