and to adam lashinsky who nos all things apple and one of the select few to hear the announcement, untildam found out mr. cook was going to speak for two hours. adam, what do you make of this, did apple kind of get a marketing announcement, an initiative announcement, and uncle sam? >> well, clear the record, neil, i stayed to the bitter end, i don't want nasty rumors suggesting i walked out in the middle. >> neil: i thought, a sight of you falling asleep. >> not true either. it's a perilous comparison to compare apple with the united states government. >> neil: it shouldn't be. my point is it should not be. >> i'll tell you why, apple is not a democracy and our government is. we expect our representatives to tell us, and seek our conditions on things, and apple doesn't do nis that way. you know what's interesting about that though, because, apple acts like a democracy and it makes products that would serve everyone and where government makes policies that serve just the people they like. the government made an ipad. it would only be for right-handed people. >> neil: or union workers. >>

charles payne, dagen mcdowell, adam lashinsky and amilya, alove her name. and charles payne, what do you make testiof it? >> it's selective. exxon 30 million. apple, who has more american workers? which-- california makes more money. >> neil: really shouldn't have gone to you first, that was a mistake. >> i've been upset about this. the oil companies are paying trillions, trillions of dollars in daxes and the 4 billion that the president is talking about, proverbial drop in the bucket. it's designed for wild caters, entrepreneurs, if you want to be upset about waste, go after the wasteful clean energies. >> you're going to the italian and going to get any better? >> down the aisle. >> who gives him the right to start picking winners and lose,when he knows nothing about business. first of all, talking two different profit margins here and now he's going to decide who is going to pick up the weight. we're the not figuring out what's happening at a gas pump? . waste told, you need to fix this initiative and now he's picking. we've seen what he does when he pic
