FOXNEWSW The Kelly File December 7, 2016

General says thats not his favorite nickname. He doesnt rebuff the president elect too much on that. Hes been selected as the next secretary of defense. That wasnt the only issue president elect trump talked about tonight. Lets watch some of it. All right. Were going to get to that in a moment. It was really so much of a discussion today was about deals and the art of the deal, shall we say. He started this morning at trump tower and he carried those make America Great themes on the economic front to fayetteville tonight in moments were going to get reaction from trumps Transition Team member. First lets go to our National Correspondent john roberts traveling with the president elect today in fayetteville, North Carolina, with reaction from the room there. Good evening to you. c martha, good evening to you. The message is finally complete. Thats the which he started off last week in cincinnati. And then all of a sudden cut on to a tangent that was almost like festivus with the grievances. Thats where trump went for 15 or 20 minutes in cincinnati. Almost none of that tonight. There was acknowledgement of people saying he wasnt going to win. When the card started booing, o no, they finally get it, this is a movement theyve never seen before and they have to acknowledge trump has done something unique in this country. He talked about the book of the future of america has yet to be written and he pointed out to people in the crowd, and he did this in cincinnati, what we know is the eventual outcome. We do know the pages will be written by each and every one of you. As you can imagine here in fayetteville just down the street from the 82nd airborne headquarters in ft. Bragg, the big marine base is not too far from here, a lot of military people in the audience and trump paid a big tribute to the military tonight saying that military families are a National Treasure and he is going to pledge to take care of each and every one of them. Also reiterating his plan to rebuild the military but casting it not as an act of aggression but an act of prevention, repeating what Ronald Reagan said back in the 1980s, the doctrine of peace through strength. Then he brought out general mattis, mad dog plays no games. Mattis came out, spoke for 30 seconds or so. One of the things that he said that is critical in this whole idea of him getting the nod as secretary of doefts is if i get that waiver from congress. Then donald trump said hell get that waiver from congress. If he doesnt, theres going to be a lot of angry people in this country because he has not been retired from the military, martha, he needs a special waiver from congress so he can take that position as the civilian head of the pentagon. The republicans are in a budget deal this friday. Qualifying legislation had a would grease the skids for that to happen that will run against opposition from democrats, martha. Well see how all that have goes between now and friday. John, thank you very much. Lets take you back to fayetteville from this evening, hear some of what mr. Trump had to say to that very embracing crowd. Watch. Every generation a new threat to freedom arises. And just as we defeated these threats we faced generations in the past and you understand that so, too, will we defeat the forces of terrorism. Its unseen in many cases but well defeat that force, and were going it to defeat it strongly and quickly. We will prevail. And you understand this. Foreign regimes that we know nothing about. That we shouldnt be involved with. Instead our focus must be on defeating terrorism andc destroying isis. So joining me now anthony, a member of president elect donald trump it trumps executive team. Good to have you both here. Thanks, martha. I want it to talk about, dial back to what started this morning as a pretty fascinating day with a couple of stories. Well get to boeing in a minute. The japanese banker, the president elect brought this gentleman out. He tweeted to all of his follow ers that this it deal would never have happened. Its kind of like a deal a day, anthony, that were getting here. Well, it may be a deal an hour. What i think the message he wants to bring to the American People hes going to be out there working for them. He wants to make the country great and improve the quality of life for middleclass people and working class families in the country. Hes really a venture capitalist, so much more than a banker. For him to be investing that kind of money in our society is a big message to the world that the United States is going to be open for business with president elect trump as president. Its exciting for people. It does bring an optimism and i know democrats will say 1,000 jobs here no, not at all. First i have to say my congratulations to my friend anthony. He worked so hard in this election and it was such a great victory for you and the president elect. No, but he and deidra are winners and i want to acknowledge that. I wanted to get my wife into the equation. I know who is really the power in the family. I know the power. Its always the wife. The point simply here we all want to see our economy grow and its not a partisan issue. I wish more republicans acknowledged we have the greatest private sector job growth under president obama and look at how the market has done under his administration, how strong its been. Its clearly important. When we saw the announcement of the investment of the jobs by the japanese today that important announcement mr. Son made, its great. It didnt happen in two weeks. Hes been planning this for a very long time and it was very appropriate he made this announcement with the president elect. Im not dismissing that. Lets be mindful hes an owner a principal shareholder with sprint. He wanted to do a deal with tmobile and it was rejected in 2013. Maybe hes trying to get his good graces in. Donald trump was tweeting that the deal never would have happened. People are investing and americas open for business, robert . America has been open for business regularly. And i think its great that hes investing. Its great that the president elect is making this his focus and he can do well with democrats on it, too. There seems to be a joy that surrounds these deals and the scene we saw at carrier last week, theres an optimism that surround these moments of kind of celebrating jobs and celebrating american corporations. Its interesting. c lets watch what doug put together on the boeing deal. I want to get more. Mr. Trump raised a ruckus on twitter today calling out boeing for its latest air force one price tag. Mr. Trump wrote this, quote, boeing is building a brandnew 747 air force one for future president s but costs are out of control, more than 4 billion. Cancel order doug mccalloway joins us. Reporter when markets opened this morning boeings stock priced dropped 2 a share after the Early Morning donald trump tweet, a tweet he later reiterated in person with a rare appearance in the lobby of the trump tower. The plane is totally out of control. Its going to be over 4 billion. Its for air force one program. I think its 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. Reporter no one seems to know where trump came up with that number of 4 billion. Boeing said it spent 170 million for initial research thus far. The air force says it has budgeted but expects the number to change as the program matures. Regardless of the hard numbers, its clear that trump is sending a signal that business as usual in washington will not stand. About half of all pentagon contracts only have one bidder. If the president elects intent is to say we need to reform how the pentagon does business, then hes absolutely right. Reporter but trump may have had another purpose, to reaffirm his longstanding Campaign Pledge to punish American Companies that move manufacturing overseas. Both boeing and Lockheed Martin are looking at building f18 fighter jets in india. Theres a potential down side. The air force said buying spare parts for aging aircraft may turn out to be more expensive than buying admittedly pricey new planes. Martha, back to you. Were learning to speak Donald Trumps language. When he goes 4 billion, it might be 170 million. The point is hes saying we spend too much stuff on this, robe robert. The point made now in the package is very important. It may be sending a message, and this is where president elect trump can work with democrats, that if youre going to ship your jobs overseas were going to be tough on you because the democrats have had many pieces of legislation. Under our tax code you get a tax break as a business if you move your business, you get your tax break if you move your business overseas. You get a tax deduction. Republicans have been all for this. Now donald trump may be able to form a bipartisan coalition. You bring up an interesting point. Let them its a free market. Let them make the mopey the best way they can. If its cheaper overseas, what their job is to make money. I think its also to be responsible from the government side in terms of procurement. Lets make it very fair to the American People and make the process competitive. The 4 billion number comes from the 2. 7 billion with the overruns. I want to push back on whatc t numbers are. I think the president elect really says this, a 4 billion number, he likes things on time and under budget, martha, and i think that washington has to get ready for that because hes starting to staff people at the pentagon like general mattis and others that hes going to bring on the team. Theyre going to be focused on this and screening out the waste and giving that money back to the American People. Isnt that what we all want . I think youre probably right. You have a good shot of that happening. Just like with the carrier deal it turned out to be about that and the united technologies. In this one you have this it deal with the f14s, when theyre going to be outsourcing some of that to india, some of that business. They squabble with how that would break out but they want to keep some of those jobs in texas as well. Its a big, broad message that is being sent to these companies. Its a lot of fun. Its an exciting time in america and for the citizens, we are open for business. Great to see you. Thank you very much for boeing here tonight. Also tonight what mr. Trump said about terrorism, it was different from what president obama said in it a National Security speech, the final one of his presidency. He had a message to get across. What was it . We compare and contrast next. Plus, the issue of immigration came up in the president elects speech tonight. Less than 24 hours after california made a move to become americas first sanctuary state. Not just sanctuary city but the entire state. When we come back on a very busy night right after this. Like a human fingerprint, no two whale flukes are the same.

Our focus must be on defeating terrorism and destroying isis. This destructive cycle of intervention and chaos must finally come to an end. We build up our military not as an act of aggression but as an act of prevention we pursue and build up arms not to seek conflict but to avoid conflict. We want to be strong. In short, we seek peace through strength. The president elect speaking less than an hour ago promising a different Foreign Policy than we have seen over the course of the last eight years. A new security report painting a frightening picture of the threats that face america and hen president obama took a victory lap on his efforts to keep the country safe. We are breaking the back of isis. Were taking away its safe haven. We should take great pride in the progress weve made over the last eight years. No foreign terrorist organize has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland. But the pain of those who lost loved ones in boston and San Bern Ardino and ft. Hood and orlando, that pain continues to this day. Approaching the scale of 9 11, the threat will endo you remember. More with Fox News Contributor and former speechwriter to george w. Bush, and former assist aant to president clinton, matt bennett. Welcome to both of you. Good to have you here. Good to be here. When you listen to how carefully warded the president s phrases are there, things like al qaeda and you look at the wider picture of islamic terrorism that we have seen in ferms terms of attacks from nic paris and the ones here at home, is it a difficultish. You, matt . I dont think so. As he pointed out, the people who hit us on 9 11, that organization has been incredibly weakened. Obviously we got bin laden, much of their top leadership and theyre really no long er the force they were in the world. What has happened to the United States domestically in the eight years of the Obama Presidency is very similar to what happened under bush after 9 11 which is to say there were no coordinated terrorist attacks here the way there have been in europe. Weve had lone wolf attacks, a couple times it was brothers or People Living in the same household, but no coordinated attacks. Thats a huge accomplishment in an age of islamic terror. It would make me feel good if it were true. Al qaeda is not weaker than it was when president obama took over. Its stronger. Its affiliates around the world im sorry, matt, youre wrong. Im not wrong. It is the biggest affiliate in syria is one of the biggest threats to america. Im talking about al qaeda. The al nusra front, they have now spread into Something Like 29 countries over the course of the last eight years, killed more than 2,000 people and you look at the advances made under the war in iraq and afghanistan and then when we pulled out these groups splintered and grew. I know this is the point youre making, its a tough argument. c it is a tough argument. Al qaeda is stronger than it was. Every expert who studies this will tell you that al qaeda is not weak. Theyre very strong. And then you have isis. When president came no office his own cia director said that al qaeda had been in iraq had been decimated. Today they have tens of thousands, they are in libya, yemen, saudi arabia, turkey, egypt, pakistan, nigeria and afghanistan. Theyre coming after us. We know that. Theres no question isis is a huge threat. The fact of the matter is thankfully isis has not been able to or not yet. Perhaps yet, but let me be clear about something. Mark seems to be laying this at the feet of president obama. Lets remember who broke the middle east which was the war of choice that president bush fought in iraq and negotiated matt, i hear what youre saying but i think what people do feel uncomfortable with is the president painting any sort of rosy picture about big accomplishments here. They feel the world is much less safe. Wouldnt it be better for the president to really give it to people in an honest way in terms of what he sees and what so many see as a threat that it is growing out there and we do need to step up our efforts with. Go ahead. Yes. But i think he has done that. What obama has been criticized for is his nuance when it comes to Foreign Policy and he is clear that things in the middle east are very, very bad. Things in libya went south. Things in syria are horrifically bad. Name a place where theyre good. Name a place where theyre good, matt. Theyre not good anywhere. He was citing progress in afghanistan today. The Obama Administration bragged that they blew up, they launched an attack on an al qaeda Training Camp when he came to office there were no al qaeda camps in afghanistan. Gentlemen, thank you. More dangerous everywhere. Thank you very much. Conversation to continue. Thank you, gentlemen. So we also heard mr. Trump talk about Border Security tonight, less than 24 hours after california took steps to become the first sanctuary state in the country. That and House Republicans tonight joined democrats and derailed an effort to impeach the irs commissioner. This is fascinating. When i take you back through this read youre going to wonder whats going on here. Brandnew reaction from congressman jim jordan who has been leading that fight since day one.
