>> pelley: the trump-pence administration takes office in 50 days, and we're about to hear from two key players. we have interviews with vice president-elect mike pence and the speaker of the house, pri. paul ryan. but first, donald trump made his first public appearance since he was elected more than three weeks ago, at a furnace manufacturer in indiana, that had planned to send more than 2,000 jobs to mr. trump's intervention and tax incentives from the state have persuaded the carrier corpitation to send over 1300 jobs south of the border, saving 800. major garrett has the story. >> they say it's not presidential to call up these massive leaders of business. i think it's very presidential. >> reporter: president-elect donald trump called the c.e.o. of carrier's parent company, united technologies, directly to discuss keeping the jobs in leave the united states anymore without consequences. nosgoing to happen. >> reporter: during the campaign, trump threatened to slap import tariffs on companies that sent jobs overseas, but in this case, the state of indiana provided the company $7 million in tax incentives, something states often do to keep or attract businesses. and mr. trump promised lower corporate taxes and fewer regulations. the publicity bang is larger than the national economic impact of labor force of 159 million. but for carrier workers like bryan dyson, the reaction was emotional and appreciative. >> crying. relieved. christmas coming, you know. everybody's head's up. >> reporter: dawn kinnard said it was a promise kept. >> well, i'm very thankful that he did follow through, because he didn't have to. he could have just said that and walked away. but he really did follow through. >> reporter: all this is a stark contrast to the reaction to mexico. ( yelling ) >> reporter: not far from the carrier plant, manufacturer rexnord plans to move 300 jobs to mexico. chloe reed is an assembler. >> devastated. i can't put it in words. i mean the 300 people i work with, things just went through my mind, and it just-- it was just devastating. >> reed said he doesn't feel left behind. >> with what mr. trump does give a sense of hope for the american working class. i don't know that personally it will affect my factory. >> reporter: at rallies during the campaign, then-candidate trump often said he and populous democrat bernie sanders agreed on trade and protecting u.s. manufacturing jobs. but, scott, sanders is very critical of this carrier deal, arguing it will incentivize other corporations to threaten to move jobs overseas to attract concessions. >> pelley: major, there's word tonight the trump transition team is getting closer to naming a secretary of defense. what do you know about that? >> reporter: this would be general james mattis, retired marine corps general, formerly head of central command. he has two nicknames mad dog mattis and warrior monk. he is regarded as probably the most respected marineave generation or two. people often call him-- not in the marine corps-- a soldier's soldier. marines call himma marine'sma could come as earlies tomorrow. there's one wrinkle, scott, to become a defense secretary, if you're a retired general, there needs to be seven years from the separation of your military force and the ascension to defense secretary. to weigh that congress would have to intervene. the trump transition team has been told by congressional leaders they will do that. >> pelley: major garrett reporting for us tonight. major, thank you. well, that deal in indiana was done with the help of the governor of indiana, who is also the vice president-elect. we spoke to mike pence late mr. trump meant by "consequences" for companies that move jobs overseas. >> the president-elect's made it very clear that when companies shutter factories and move them out of this country in the hopes of being able to build their products and ship them right back into the united states th that-- that-- that we're going to have the kind of trade deals that have consequences for enterprises like that, and we're going to have the kind of trade that puts american jobs and american workers first. >> pelley: when mr. trump talking about punitive taxes? >> i-- i think-- i think-- everything is really on the table, as we negotiate trade deals going forward, as we renegotiate the north american free trade agreement. i think what the american people can anticipate, the trump administration is going to roll our sleeves up and we're going to drive a hard bargain. >> pelley: now, carrier tells us you have saved 800 jobs that >> well, it all began with a phone call by president-elect donald trump, almost about a week to the day after the election. he picked up the phone. he called the chairman of the parent company and just asked them to reconsider their decision to move jobs to mexico from here in the state of indiana. >> pelley: but, not to put too fine a point on it, sir, 1300 jobs are still going to mexico, and i wonder, why were you not able to save policies was set into motion many months before he even secured the nomination. but the fact that carrier was set at this factory to go to zero jobs and now we have more than 1100 good-paying jobs here in the state of indiana, where the opportunity for that to grow, i think is welcome news. >> pelley: just since the election, president-elect trump has reversed himself on immigrants in this country. did he just say those things to get elected? did he never intend to do them? >> i think what the american people know they have in president-elect donald trump is someone who speaks straight from his mind and straight from his heart. and on the issue of illegal immigration, i promise you, as we were meeting yesterday on capitol hill with leaders of the house and senate, we're going to go straight to work after this congress convenes and this >> pelley: the speaker of the house told us today that when it comes to deporting 11 million illegal immigrants, it's not going to happen, and he won't fund it. >> well, i-- i-- i will tell you that the policies that the president-elect outlined in his speech in arizona will be the policies that we advance. i'm very confident that we'll have broad-based support in the congress for what the president-elect outlined in the course of his campaign, and we're going to work every day to those policies and end illegal immigration once and for all. >> pelley: vice president-elect mike pence, also governor of indiana until january the 20th, we thank you very much for your time. you made a big difference for about 800 families in your home state there. thank you very much again. >> thank you, scott. >> pelley: and we have more of the pence interview on cbsnews.com, and our streaming service, cbsn. the repeal the first bill taken up by the new congress. that's according coordination to the speaker of the house. in an interview for "60 minutes," paul ryan told us repeal will be immediate but a replacement is months, even years away. no one, he said, will lose health coverage in the meantime. we met the speaker at the capitol today, and we asked him about his roak relationship with mr. trump. you called donald trump a i said his comment was. >> pelley: i'm not sure there's a great deal of daylight between those two definitions but he definitely called you ineffective and disloyal. have you patched it up?

>> yeah, no, i didn't see this one coming. he knows very ubconventional candidate. he's going to be an unconventional president. what i like about it, like i said, in my daily conversations is he's just a "get things done" kind of guy. >> pelley: have you told him being president is not being c.e.o. of the united states, that the congress is going to have a say? >> oh, we've talked about that extensively. we've talked about the constitution, article one of the constitution, the separation of powers. he feels very strongly, actually, that under president of power away from the constitution, away from the legislative branch of government, and we want to reset the balance of power so that people and the constitution are rightfully restored. >> pelley: the speaker of the house on his plans for sweeping tax reform and immigration enforcement. that's had sunday on "60 minutes." ryan's home state of wisconsin today began recounting votes, but the recounts there and possibly in michigan and pennsylvania are not expected to change presidential race. donald trump won with 306 electoral votes, even though hillary clinton got nearly 2.5 million more popular votes. that is nearly a 2% margin and is the largest by any candidate to win the popular vote and go on to lose the election. tonight in syria, families are running for their lives to escape aleppo, once a home to a syrian government forces, backed by russia, are obliterating neighborhoods held by rebels, and today, debora patta got a rare look. >> reporter: for the tens of thousands of civilians who fled rebel-held aleppo, it must have felt like even the weather deserted them. huddling under blankets for warmth, they sleep cheek to cheek in makeshift shelters. for many, this is their first meal in days. the united nations estimates eastern aleppo, trapped between the syrian army and rebel fighters, the relentless shelling continues. the u.n. has demanded a pause in the fighting to allow for the evacuation of the sick and injured and the delivery of food and medicine. but the syrian government has swrped with silence. its main backer, russia, talks about opening humanitarian corridors, but so far, that's siege has left food and medical supplies dangerously low, while hospitals have been blown to pieces. as the rebel territory shrinks under the advance of the syrian military, desperate civilians make one last run for safety. um muneer spent six hours trying to escape.
