suit. you ve also got the raw question of companies making economic decisions as greg rightly points out on the basis of shareholder value. of what makes commercial sense. trump did it himself. he makes his clothes and other products abroad because it was chiefer. we are all men and women of the world. companies like boeing that would be considered strategically vital to the u.s. economy where maybe things have to be done slightly differently. you re talking about a smaller air conditioning company in indiana, which could have received state help if the governor had chosen governor mike pence and now the vice president elect, he could have done this with carrier. he did not. let me ask you one other question. who is president of the united states at the moment? the old rule, the old rule that you only have one president at a time, what is donald trump doing interfering in the carrier decision or, indeed, in the taiwan decision, until january
air-conditioning company, used the carrot so far and not so much the stick. what he s going try to do is use this as a pr strategy into thinking, if we move these jobs to mexico, we ll get in a big fight and not look good publicly and maybe think twice about doing it but so far outside of the mainstream of conservative economic thought. generally, they re free markets, not people who don t believe in taking on individual companies and let the free market decide and tariffs on companies that make goods in mexico, that s an invitation to trade war and higher prices. it s a dangerous thing to do. when you talk about individual companies, his campaign staff will talk about carrier. the thousands of jobs going away. is this a one-off or some sort of strategy that he has that he thinks he can use time and time
new reaction this morning to president-elect donald trump touting the carrier plant deal in indianapolis. trump is taking credit for saving over 1,000 jobs jobs thae previously slated to be outsourced to mexico. now the deal gives the heating and air-conditioning company $7 million in state tax breaks over ten years, in exchange for carrier investing $16 million into it s plant. it does not stop the company from outsourcing another 1,300 jobs still slated to go to mexico. i want to bring in the president and founder of american s for tax reform. grover norquist. he s a conservative organization, it s an anti. tax income that generally gets anyone running republicans in general to sign a tax pledge. you didn t get donald trump to sign it. well, yes. we have a majority of the house close to a majority in the senate, a lot of governors. i was told by the campaign lewandowski said we ve signed
he can t make commitments on behalf of the congress and the house and the senate. i had anticipated that more would have come from governor pence. it would be very interesting to see the details when we know more about this. i would say it s not often an air conditioning company gets this kind of good, free press for a number of days. that could be a little incentive there. what role do you know that governor pence played and why was donald trump able to make promises when he isn t yet in office? well, a lot of people are pointing to the possible incentives that might be at play here. there are state incentives. but at the same time carrier gave up incentives when it decided to move to mexico. paid back the city of indianapolis $1.2 billion and i think i would be shocked to find out if they got that much money in incentives this time around. the state does not offer that kind of incentive, i think it will be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. carrier deciding to stay in
in conclusion, after a thorough review, given the totality of the circumstances and credible evidence in the case, it is my opinion that officer vincent acted lawfully when he shot mr. scott. he acted lawfully. i am fully satisfied and convinced that officer vincent s use of deadly force was lawful. prosecutors in north carolina said the officer who shot and killed keith lamont scott sparked protest and it was justified in that action. there he is. lots of reaction to this announcement. we will bring you the latest on that and much more. we begin with the top story. a win for workers according to donald trump. he said he struck a deal with carrier, the indiana-based air conditioning company that he hammered for the decision to move thousands of jobs to
