the c.e.o. of starbucks has decided to cut off washington sadly he's not up to fighting the caffeine fueled fascism he's just disappointed that c.e.o.'s aren't getting their money's worth for their campaign contributions we've got some harsh words for the senior editor at reason magazine for slamming ron paul and by we i mean look i'm jake will be joining me there this we've got the latest on the almost bro america out of the bus tour and why you want to think that you're a lone wolf terrorist just waiting to happen and because ron paul famously said i always knew that if you were going to have a revolution you needed two things young people and music tonight we've got young people as always then jordan joining me in studio to share the new ron paul things like you just laid out in studio this morning for your listening pleasure only on adam vs the mitt. obama's bailout bus continues to trample through america's heartland as he does his best to give old conservative midwesterners her attacks as par

for example and with jobs that apple models of a c.e.o. who achieved business success and also had a side that was not pleasing to society or corporate governance that side that was at best not politically correct and at worst in the case of h.p. guy you know he had it and by the way it was believed an alleged that he had a personal relationship with a contractor receives improper payments so is are those asides that come with someone who's able to achieve a lot of success at the level of pay apple someone who is a visionary and conceptual but also you know kind of a jerk. well i think there's different people for different personalities and i wouldn't link them like that but i mean is this is or isn't a broader question though it's that i'm a politician says well if you have a certain amount of money as a part of our own you that you then think you can maybe do things that are socially inappropriate or take advantage of others because with bill clinton and then in turn there's i think john has resisted this relatively well as per there's w

of some small countries this is this is the greatest c.e.o. of our time and i think what made him that it will be debated and we you know history will be the judge i think what it is is it's his austere sense of simplicity if you look at these these products the i pod the i pod the i pad and they are incredibly simple and this simplicity extends not just to the products but also through the showroom like retail centers where you buy these products and through the advertisers where any that's apple's brand and should say right there when i wrote this piece today calling in the edison of our time people said oh but edison invented things and steve jobs just took ideas edison took ideas too he didn't invent the light bulb he didn't vent a lot of a lot of the ideas that that we consider him being the first to come up with and steve jobs was similarly a genius in taking ideas that existed and perfecting them and marketing them for a mass audience you just did it better and you think he did he just did it better but i mean is that why you think why are

walk about your conversations with great minds and i'm joined by dr bob iger the c.e.o. of common cause and the author of the book middle church reclaiming the moral values of the faithful majority from the religious right now you were arrested here last week and i want to get to that but first what is the middle church. when i was general secretary of the national council of churches i was frustrated with people like pat robertson and other conservatives pat robertson was calling for the assassination of the president of the as a whale and they were making outrageous statements so a number of people were jimmy carter was jim wallace of sojourners was right. former senator there was an episcopal priest jack danforth and i all four of us wrote books that were very similar pushing back on the religious right and in my case that look middle church reclaiming the moral values of the faithful majority was pointing out that what the left hasn't done very well is evangelize the middle and if you put the religious spectrum alongside the political spectrum they're very similar those

she was the chairman and c.e.o. of xerox and successfully managed the company in other economic crises. she is currently the chairman of non-profit save the children. ann, so nice to see you again. >> it's nice to see you too, susie. nice to be here. >> susie: i know you're talking to a lot c.e.o.s and business people. what are they saying to you about this economic and market crisis? how are they preparing for a possible recession? >> well, i think most of my colleagues would say, you know, there's obviously a very disparate impact between what we're seeing in market volatility and the health of the corporate environment right now. you look at corporations who have over the last few years gotten very strong balance sheets, you know, really addressed cost and productivity, and they're a very fit group of companies that i think feel reasonably positive about future prospects. so i think the good news is that i do think we have a business environment that is far healthier than what we're seeing reflected in the markets t

like say the former c.e.o. of hewlett packard who they've known for going in and retooling the business revamping it bringing it a lot of success but he had to resign because of his mercurial you could say side. well there are certain types of c.e.o.'s right down to the ones who founded the company and then they create markets but they may not be as well suited to running a company once the markets are bit more mature than others the hired guns who were brought in well. the company is large enough and the market is mature enough. so in jobs was kind of both a way for him in ninety nine am e.d.t. sorry steve wozniak overcome the john stelly who was at pepsi co as an executive there and today you know you can hear so much sugar water or you can change the world and they brought. turned out not to be maybe the best choice there is. apple apple needed someone who could do both and create markets and then run a company when the market was large enough and so our founder for fifteen years before steve jobs back and so i

here's my letter to dan bain the c.e.o. of trader joe's have also included a copy of the good samaritan act which was signed into being in one thousand nine hundred six by bill clinton and that encourages grocery stores to donate food and it protects them from being sued so i'm just asking him to consider moving trader joe's into the next step of simply not wasting as much food and giving it to people who need it i figured the c.e.o. of trader joe's probably wouldn't get back to me after one letter so i've decided to send him. a letter a day for the next month a letter went out to t.j. c.e.o. dan bain every morning and we continue diving as normal time passed dumpsters swelled with food and then suddenly the landscape changed we began seeing more people at the dumpsters not your typical diverse people that seem to need to through it a lot more than we did. as i waited to hear back from trader joe's about all the food in our trash cans the world spiraled into a food crisis a kid. again he claimed. to be. coming to. me. to. chan

john challenger, c.e.o. of challenger gray and christmas, joins us now. >> susie: hi, john.hi, susie. >> >> susie: well, as you knowwe're economy. what do you think are the fixes that would help small businesses and help innovators and aunt preupentrepreneurs? >> entrepreneurs need access to capitol. they use to go to famlies, dip into savings accounts, credit cards or get a home equity loan. it's hard to do. people are opting for safety. even with high unemployment they're going back into the job market and stay ago way from the extra reugs can of trying to start a business. >> susie: what would they needts and feel confident about going out and starting a new company? >> well we need -- easier access to and lighter regulations for companies and entrepreneurs to get licenses quickly. we need bankers and ways for the government to help community banks support the lending that they do on taking chances, like they use to do, for local businesses. we need to open up our export market. it's crucial that the u.s., i

he's jamie merisotis, president and c.e.o. of the lumina foundation. >> have you ever wondered if the person sitting next to you at work, doing the same exact thing, makes more money than you do? a new report tries to get at the heart of that question by first showing that, yes, there are wide income disparities in what people make for doing the same job. tomorrow, georgetown university's center on education and the workforce will release research that shows these pay differences are due mostly to education. for example, an elementary or middle school teacher with a bachelors degree can expect to make $1.8 million dollars over a lifetime, compared with $2.2 million for a teacher with a masters degree. an accountant with a high school diploma will make about $1.5 million, compared with an accountant with a bachelors degree, who will make $2.4 million. the higher the level of education, the higher the payoff. what's more, the gap is widening, with an 84% lifetime income premium for a four-year degree over a high school diploma. the

like the former c.e.o. of hewlett packard who turned that company around and was credited with reviving it but he had to resign because of some of his improper behavior. it's true i think a big chunk of it has to do with the secret culture of apple and their sort of fortress of information jobs himself was huge example hardly ever gave interviews very rarely made public comments i mean outside of you know rehearsed. corporate keynotes so when he would come and say something. you know he was usually . just so so unexpected and. it was just kind of wow this is you know that it wasn't so much the substance of what he said it was just like steve jobs came out and said something but i will say by and large those communiques he would send out were very much on message if you look at them you can sort of see what the passion that he comes when he talks about something like you know. you know why why buy an i phone and rather than an android phone or with so you had a famous fight with blogger on from gawker right abo

you're absolutely wrong i may be on their side on this one you know my hero this week is really the c.e.o. of starbucks. where he said nobody's get no money when i give it to republicans or democrats quite honestly i wish that would have been the criteria for this gang of twelve both republicans hate corporations stay the hell out of it but perhaps not in these corporations were embarrassed to give money to politicians they generally didn't need and when you're not going to have a good idea i don't want to play at all reality where you're not going to be and i do believe the founding fathers would be just i'm amazed and horrified to see how much money plays in the role of elections so what do we do about this i mean it has to be there has to be really i mean i think people on both sides would agree it's unfortunate that you know elected to congress and the moment you're lectured are thinking two years down the road how do i get reelected well you know in aurora colorado you know that they're trying to get a proposal passed that corporations vote in elections corporations and certificates corp

steve jobs suddenly and unexpectedly stepped down today as the c.e.o. of apple, the company that he helped found in a garage and grew into one of the biggest technology corporations in the world. vin tracey has our story. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: in his trademark turtle neck, steve jobs has defined apple for more than a decade as its c.e.o.. but now steve jobs says it's time to go. in a statement late today, jobs wrote, i have always said if there ever came a day when i could no longer meet my duties and expectations, as apple's c.e.o., i would be the first to let you know. unfortunately, that day has come. jobs' health has been an issue for years, he's lost considerable weight and in 2009 announced this. >> as some of you may know, about five months ago i had a liver transplant. >> reporter: jobs started apple in his parents' garage in 1976. the company focused on personal computers until 2001 when jobs unveiled something called the ipod. >> they're going to just be blown away with how beautiful it is and how thin it is. >> reporter: then came

to answer that, we turned to the c.e.o. of dow chemical, andrew liveris. he runs one of the largest chemical companies in the world. as we continue our series "how to fix the economy," i talked with liveris, and began by asking him if he sees the global economy going into recession. >> so far we haven't seen rescission turn down apart from the japans and the greeces and the economies of southern europe. the rest of the world has continued to grow albeit at a jagged and slow pace in the developed world. >> susie: we saw once again today the connection between europe's problems on the u.s. are you seeing the problems in europe impacting your orders? >> no, not yet. we've seen really in essence a two-speed economy in europe now for the better part of two years. germany and german-speaking countries have had robust demand. and we haven't seen anything that slowed that or changed that in the last, let's call it weeks and even days. of course southern europe and you know latter day beyond during construction in countries like italy and spain are a new concern. we

she's c.e.o. of the children's financial network. >> back-to-school means back-to- spending. but suppose you could turn it into back-to-basics? this is a great time of year to teach your child about budgeting. start by helping them make a spending budget for the two major categories of back-to- school-- supplies and clothing. the first step is to get a list of all the recommended supplies your children will need for the school year. "need" is the operative word here. give each child a small notebook and show them how to list each item and put its price next to it. ask what supplies they think they'll need or want for this year. you can see where we're going with this. you agree to pay for all the needs, and have them agree to pay for their wants. next, do the same thing with their clothing budget. their list should be specific, detailing how many of each item they think they'll need. you may be surprised at the total cost and, hopefully, they will be as well. after getting the totals, you decide the final amounts and prices. if they think that they need five pair of designer j
