martin. he got a concession with boeing, which he had targeted because mr. trump accused them of going way over budget on the next air force one. trump was concerned the price tag for two planes had ballooned to more than $4 billion. but he was assured it won't cost that much. >> we're going to get it done for less than that and we're committed to working together to make sure that happens. i was able to give the president-elect my personal commitment on behalf of the boeing company. >> reporter: lockheed martin manufactures the expensive f-35 military aircraft, which mr. trump reamed while talking about how he plans to cut costs at the pentagon. he said he is working on lowering that price tag. >> we're going to get cost down. we're going to get it done beautifully. these are great people. amazing people. i'm very impressed with them. good negotiators, too. >> reporter: whatever ends up happening there, the one certainty during the transition appears to be tweets are bringing people to the table. we have seen it with an air conditioning company. now we have

we know ceos of both boeing and lockheed martin were down at mar-a-lago speaking to mr. trump and it seems a day later he's almost setting off a bidding war between the two companies. >> that's exactly what he's doing. look, the f-35 for lockheed martin is a 400 or $500 billion project. yes it's years late and billions over budget but this is super stealth technology and it's widely believed to be cutting edge state-of-the-art. what trump is saying maybe we don't need all this even though the pentagon has been buying more than 2,000 of them, up to $100 million each. what trump is saying hang on, the f-18 super hornet, boeing has spent many millions updating it, it's doing a good job. there's a new version. we could have that one instead. the problem is he's negotiating in public and this is the result of what you see. >> is there any advantage of that? there's a lot that's been happening whether talking about nuclear capabilities or the cost of a jet public. could there be an advantage? >> i think no matter how much one wants to give donald trump the benefit of the doubt

. >> well, from carrier, saving jobs there to boeing and lockheed martin, is mr. trump changing the presidential paradigm as not commander in chief but negotiator in chief. >> brad glick man is here to talk about this. >> good morning. >> yesterday, trump tweeted out, based on the tremendous cost and cost overruns to lockheed martin f-35. i've priced out a super hornet. what's he doing? it sounds like he's playing one company against the other company to get a better deal. >> that's what businessmen do. that's what presidents should be doing. donald trump is setting the tone. he may be speaking to a few companies, but in tult actuality, he's speaking to a few companies. we're getting a good deal for the taxpayer. donald trump will expect every cabinet person and every political appointee and every government employee, civil servant to put america first. make sure we're getting a good deal and attentive to cost overruns and contracts. why shouldn't the president be involved? he won't be a micro manager but he's setting a tone to make sure there's accountability. >>
