Thankyou tour tonight. The president elect will hold a rally in North Carolina just about an hour from now. These are are live pictures from the final preparations at that rally. Earlier today he made news about a tweet with canceling the order for new versions of air force one. Steve handelsman is tracking it all from capitol hill. Reporter the president elect is clearly making two points. Warning federal contractors, boeing is number two on a guy going to be running the federal government here in washington. Also reminding voters that he said hed clean up washington, change the way things are done here, and hes already started. If youre an airline, you want to buy a 747, boeing sells them for 400 million. President elect says a 500 markup for the air force one version is ridiculous. Donald trump surprised camera one to replace the old 747 used today by president obama and his backup. The pentagon confirms boeing will bill at least 4 billion. I think its ridiculous.
