For the first time, President-Elect Donald Trump is laying out his agenda for his first 100 days in office.

In a two and half minute YouTube video, he said he wants to put America first and create wealth and jobs for American workers. To do this, he's asking his team to develop a list of executive actions he can take on day one.

"On trade, I'm going to issue a notification of intent to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership - a potential disaster for our country," Trump says in the video.

"Instead," he proposed, "we will negotiate fair, bi-laterial trade deals that bring jobs and industry back onto American shores."

The president-elect also laid out energy proposals he claims will create new jobs.

"On energy, I will cancel job killing restrictions on the production of American energy, including shale energy and clean coal, creating many millions of high paying jobs," Trump said.

"That's what we want," he declared. "That's what we've been waiting for."

On regulation, he vowed to "formulate a rule which says that for every one new regulation, two old regulations must be eliminated -- so important."

Trump also spoke about protecting America from cyber-attacks and other attacks, cracking down on lobbying in Washington, and tackling one of the signature issues in his campaign – immigration.

"On immigration, I will direct the Department of Labor to investigate all abuses of Visa programs that undercut the American worker," he said.

Trump also met with many of the top figures in TV news on Monday, reportedly blasting top executives and well- known anchors and reporters from NBC, ABC and CBS, and cable news networks for their news coverage.

"We're in a room of liars, the deceitful dishonest media who got it all wrong," The New York Post reports Trump as saying.

Addressing everyone in the room, he called the media dishonest, deceitful liars. He specifically called out CNN's Jeff Zucker and said everyone at CNN was a liar, and CNN was a network of liars.

Meanwhile, Trump is still meeting with possible members of his cabinet, including former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tusli Gabbard, and Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin -- who could be secretary of the interior.

Fallin was a recent guest on The 700 Club where she talked about Trump's plan for energy independence.

"I would much rather...be able to take care of ourselves," she said.

The president-elect still has nearly two months to go before he takes office, but he's making it clear that he intends to hit the ground running - right from the beginning.
