if i knew you had someone like calhoun and the combination of those two, you got calhoun with all the and then muilenburg is an aerospace engineer that knows everything going on, maybe the combination of those two should assuage some of the concerns about getting this plane back up in the air. >> you can't change horses midstream. that would be a mistake. the cfo, greg smith, he's fabulous look, they have a big bench too. you and i both know, this is just something -- this is a tragic thing how about the fact that calhoun said we made mistakes. he didn't say there were mistakes made. we made mistakes and that is the kind of thing you and i want to hear from ceos, chairman, it is something we did wrong and i welcome that i think that calhoun is a -- was, we both know, a very tough guy. he is -- if he felt that muilenburg had to be out, he would say we'll get this problem fixed and we'll see. he did not say that. >> thanks, jim thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching and i tried to, you know, watching what you were saying, trying to answer your questions as well has.preciate i

calhoun spoke with our report here joins us now. that seems to be the real message. >> they're emphatic that mullenberg is not going anywhere with you they had some news that they shared with us. dave calhoun, he said, look, dennis mullenberg has waved most of his compensation. be only for 2019 but beyond. last year he made just over $23 million. now, almost 90% of that was through the performance bonus as well as stock awards he's not getting those for 2019. and then he's not going to take them until the max deliveries are caught up which may not be until early 2021 here's what dave calhoun had to say about their feelings about mullenburg >> from the vantage point of our board. he's done everything right from the beginning from the beginning remember, dennis didn't create this problem but from the beginning, he knew that m-cast should and could be done better and he's led a program to rewrite it. to alleviate all of those conditions that ultimately beset two unfortunate crews and the families and victims no one was hiding anything

dave calhoun also eased the minds of investors who think tht 737 max crisis is one the company can'tat ma may be one of the reason why shares rose 2% in today's trading. phil lebeaug. hes more. >> ls than a week after muilenburg was blastedhi on capitol . >> if you had an ounce of integrity you would know the right thingo do is to step down. >> boeing chairman dave calhoun was emphatic, the board still backsmu enburg. >> from the vantage point of our board, denis has don everything right. from the beginning. >> for more thanr a yea as investigators zeroed in on the cause of the 737 max crashes, and fixing the plane's defective flight control system, muilenburg has been on the hot seat. critics say he oversees a company where the push to roll out thmax came at the expense of ensuring the planes are safe. an allegat calhoun denies. >> that question of culture and anybody's willingness to trade safetyin against any else, never seen it neverev touched i. lln't believe it. >> s muilenburg is stinging from congressman questioning his $23 million pay package last year. >>s anybody at boein

calhoun got that question wrong. was not trying to conflate the two, if they fix safety, i think there is a lot of us saying, when is china going to show good faith? i know that navarro would like to see some good faith and it is not just an ag buy anymore. it would be something like a real commitment to boeing, president xi, depending what outlet you read, is alternately hoping that the tariffs are cut, trying to make a deal. look, president xi, if you're watching, completely isn't, you can get huawei back in, which i know he is watching. but you got to give a big order. can't just be soy. that day is over brazil is the way you get soy. people think you can switch. soy guys i deal with and the chemical guys you can't just say, okay, that was brazil now we're switching to u.s it doesn't work like that. i also think that they wouldn't be so wrong, no one is going to like this other than millennials, they could use a nonbeef product. >> the chinese >> yes they love -- they love milk that is not milk. you know that? the

by the way, i.out in the book franklin roosevelt wasn't original there may be calhoun sent to. i don't know but it was mayors assistant in boston said exactly that. who is he anyway. this wasn't a good story. when roosevelt said it, suddenly it was good story. yell professor irving fisher, senator around the beginning of the depression. when before 1933. summerlike stories about celebrities. we like stories that have a certain graviton. the inauguration, by the way if you want to watch the 1933 inauguration in your president roosevelt said that in his own words, just search for it on youtube. it was all filmed beautifully done, he is more of a great voice and her current president but he was a good speaker. another thing, i'll just leave you with one thought is it is important that you don't here, there were brother causes of the great depression. i think one of them which was talked about a lot in the great depression we don't associate it was that robots are coming to replace jobs. and people are going to be permanently unemployed with these robots. they may see, wait a minut

with skim milk called the cramer boeing, cnbc aired a stunning interview with its chairman david calhounith beck questy and joe kernen calhoun admitted his company made mistakes and told you the ceo is foregoing his salary until he rights the ship and made it clear they could have done a better job with the system, no kidding but he did admit it all this within the context of acknowledging boeing's role in the two terrible 737 max crashes, the response, wow what candor can do it was a shower of mercy that sent the stock up 2.1% then there's shake shack the burger chain reported a slight miss. new partnership with grubhub i ask are these delivery companies. are they not -- they're a blight -- if you're a restaurant chain with a high priced multiple you can't have a minor slipup which is why the stock got obliterated. verdict, no mercy. rcs which used to be hated is catching upgrades today. why? because the free fall for dram and flash chips and the two basic building blocks of technology, lam makes machines you need to manufacture the stuffer. when are they recommending the stuff? there w

birmingham england and they've come up with all kinds of bizarre ideas we joined cake art as ben calhoun at the fair and watched him create something very special. otherwise known as the biking. and his world is that of cake artist every year the best from around the world meet at the cake international in birmingham england. this year some 1300 bakers professionals and amateurs are here to present their creations. some of these artworks it's hard to tell but they are in fact cakes. such as this life size effigy of a character from the t.v. series killing eve. everything for me is seen so incredible. is you know committed. by steve realising in the in the industry your level how you can improve things you can do things that other people do that just really give you strong ideas. then kolins own entry to the chimpanzee life size at one metre high and 80 kilos but this one is edible ben put 4 days of work into it. the biggest challenge doing this was actually trying to get the stunts how they see it is so sort of strange then i thought when i started it and it's a cross reference so many d

extensive damage the whole way around calhoun which is where we are polytechnic university the campus here it's in central callen where we were certainly on the way here there are massive amounts of damage on the streets there are burnt out cars and that was from protests that were held overnight with various people the public supporting these protesters here of mind on this campus 1st on this campus alone we still have bricks scattered around us we have all these areas blockaded off we have a lot of the parts of the campus that exploded when fires were not allowed the cleanup has begun we've got the emergency authorities here trying to clear these roads but the damage is extensive and it's not just here where we are it is all around calhoun there's major traffic congestion as a result of these big therof is being blocked off as a hong kong kind of tries to get back to business sarah clarke in hong kong thank you very much sara for that update well china meanwhile has weighed in on monday's court ruling in hong kong that overturned a ban on protesters wearing face masks its parliament

. >> dave calhoun told us yesterday we have dennis muilenberg's back as ceo he was put on the spot early on and asked whether or not he has considered resigning here is what he had to say. >> i think it's fair to say i've thought about it but, to be frank, that's not what's in my character i don't see running away from a challenge, resigning as the right solution the way i grew up, what i believe in today and the values i try to share with me team is when we have challenges we face into them. these two accidents, they happened on my watch at boeing and i feel obligated, i feel responsible to stay on it, to work with the team to fix it. >> dennis muilenburg also said he expects to lose tens of millions because he is foregoing a business as well as stock awards for this year, likely for next year as well. he also plans to make a donation to the victims' family funds shares of boeing under a bit of pressure as people continue to question whether or not this plane will be certified by the end of the year. back to you. >> boeing shares are up 2.5% over the past week muilenburg doing testimony

trying to clear out the last of those protesters who barricaded themselves in this particular part of calhoun thank you for that sara cloth reporting there live from hong kong earlier i spoke to see son who's director of the china institute are so lost which is part of the university of london he says the university standoff is a major escalation. if and when the government in beijing signs that the government in hong kong and police in hong kong cannot restore order and stability in bonn kong then stay will send in the people to police as well as correlates the people's liberation army garrisoned in hong kong i think we apply the steel properly a few months away from that yet because when the government in baiting make it this isn't to escalate about 2 weeks ago they talked to view that the problem was not the policy but the implementation job 8 and it will mean they will need the government in hong kong to redouble its efforts for which they will have to give a bit more time to do so the protest movement starts off us one of the most peaceful protests you could plant on earth but because of

the economic activity of on condenser links between calhoun which is on the continent or side. and central which isn't a hong kong guy on. so on this one. protesters and the response so please is so keen to. to change the situation. and debt. to is this a mistake on the on the health of the practices because they all making it. at the more difficult for ordinary people to know about that. this is in my view i think it's a mistake because it opens so. as a way for the gene to be more responsive to the demonstrations and- it's also bad to the extent that the- international support. to income demonstrators will fade away somehow and- obviously also in the domestic- the mystic area of a home going because when people cannot go. to work on week days so a major issue for them. because for several months the parts as well. research is a way yes ththere was a there was a big change and that's why so there is- an escalation of violence- during the last few months. of protesters were always on saturdays. and sundays and now is he decided. to go on the weekdays and as they said to blossom

dave calhoun talked with us exclusively this morning on "squawk box. we touched on a number of topics including boeing, dennis muilenburg, the future of the 737 max. here's a little taste of what he had to say about how the board feels about the job dennis muilenburg has done. >> dennis didn't create this problem. but from the beginning, he knew that mcas should and could be done better. it was sort of clear to us, no one was hiding anything. it was a set of engineering decisions that ended up being wrong. that question of culture and anybody's willingness to trade safety against anything else, never seen it, never touched it, don't believe it >> the big piece of news coming out of this interview this morning is dave calhoun saying that he got a call on saturday from dennis muilenburg who, remember, last week, was grilled on capitol hill about his pay package and why he is still being paid, despite all of the issues surrounding the max mullenberg said, i'm going to waive my bonus and stock awards for 2019 and for as long as it takes to catch up on 737

boeing's new chairman dave calhoun confirmed suggested he shouldn't take any stock . or bonus money this year boeing stock is up today and has gained a temper cent increase just this year and this also comes as boeing successfully tested its 1st major flight test this week the starliner reaching a height of 4000 feet at 650 miles per hour the 75 2nd test appeared to be successful this was in spite of one of the 3 parachutes that failed boeing officials said the spacecraft was designed to last lately with just 2 and the abort system at the requirements for a successful test the launch was a critical milestone as boeing looks to fly humans to the international space station sometime next year. occidental petroleum is looking to slash capital spending in an effort to pay down debt from their $55000000000.00 acquisition of anadarko petroleum the company which has large operations in the oil rich permian basin announced a budget of 5500000000 in capital expenditure for 2020 down from more than 3 but are down more than 3000000000 in 20 from 2019 occidental estimates oil and

kong island in an area called the smaller but where we are now is a polytechnic university on the calhoun side this is a very busy almost a construction site if you may be able to see behind me this is all the students who are gathering assembling here at this particular campus barricaded themselves in this particular university they created barricades and they're also they've blocked all access points or areas android's into this particular campus pretty much creating almost a full life force life experience that we have a number of riot police here really but they seem to have. further behind us and this is where they fired tear gas on these students the protesters early on thursday morning but the moment they've created the bricks scattered across the number of nile devices that they've made within campus we've also seen the make a number of petrol bombs they've got boxes and boxes of petrol bombs and they've taken their over the whole way along the top of the campus pretty much waiting for the police to move in all right sara thank you for that update from hong kong. the u.s. presiden

for about 6 hours is what they've shared tools and this particular one is going to take place in calhoun and it's actually going to be back near the polytechnic university which you referred to earlier we had a a siege that took place for about up to 2 weeks there we had more than a 1000 protesters and students holed up inside that campus pushing back the police now we had more than 1100 arrests since that siege ended last week and the police taking university has now been cleared but if this protest does go ahead it's a march from inside paolo all the why to back to that campus and it may be seen as a vocative move by police if those protesters do in march back to that polytechnic university which is now being cleared and reopened to be fixed up after the start of the capital damage quite extraordinarily sell there are thank you. in malta the government is denying its prime minister is planning to resign joseph muscat son to pressure over the alleged government cover up of a journalist murdered 2 years ago daphne koller died in a car bomb explosion while investigating corruption involvi

don't miss an exclusive interview with david calhoun on "squawk box" at 7:30 a.m we're back in two. as usual we were behind schedule. but sophie's enthusiasm cannot be dampened. not even by a run-away donut. we powered through it in our toyota prius. because a star's got to shine, no matter what. it's unbelievable what you can do in the prius. toyota let's go places. about medicare and 65, ysupplemental insurance. medicare is great, but it doesn't cover everything - only about 80% of your part b medicare costs, which means you may have to pay for the rest. that's where medicare supplement insurance comes in: to help pay for some of what medicare doesn't. learn how an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by united healthcare insurance company might be the right choice for you. a free decision guide is a great place to start. call today to request yours. so what makes an aarp medicare supplement plan unique? well, these are the only medicare supplement plans endorsed by aarp and that's because they meet aarp's high standards of quality and service. you're also getting the

attacking this campus they have been staging small skirmishes in surrounding streets in this part of the calhoun district of hong kong using cars to create road blocks that cetera it seems to be coming to a head this monday evening we've had in a couple of blocks just over in this direction there is a square where up to a. 1000 students and protesters have gathered maybe even more by now they have tried some of them have tried to move this way get through police lines maybe get through one of the access points to try to get into the campus if they can they have been pushed back there's been tear gas but they do seem to be massing once more so this is a developing situation meanwhile of course the protesters themselves those students are still inside as you mentioned there were groups that came out a larger group that came out early on monday and throughout the day we have seen smaller 3 groups emerge a few one a few at a time some of them have been given blankets and given medical treatment it does seem as though they're potentially injured we do know that some have been injured in the in the pa

of you -- i saw you last time i was here -- i wrote a book on henry clay, daniel webster and john calhounnd these guys are politicians and they don't do stuff, they talk and they talk. i did my best, they really talk well, but they stand and give speeches and they don't do much. in contrast to that, after that i want action. i want motion, conflict and all this stuff and that is what i'm going to focus on and he said fine, let's do it. and here i will share the problem, the challenge of any author of history, there can be great stuff happening but if we don't have sources we can't do anything with it. or more precisely we can't make it come alive. i can talk in general about things that happen but i don't have much in the way of sources. if i don't have any eyewitnesses then the story bogs down and this was the problem with the spanish southwest because the stories, the voices are secondhand and not particularly compelling. so dan said let's start with lewis and clarke because that resolve the problem. what about the timeframe we are looking at here? what in fact, which west are we talkin

calhoun reporting to the senate with fourth, 1836, assumed its invalidity was a matter at a quote which no one now doubts. jefferson as president pardon those have been convicted and sentenced under the act and remitted device. stating i discharge any person under punishment or prosecution under the sedition law because i consider and now consider the law to be unloaded as absolute and powerful as if congress had ordered us to fall the and worship a golden image. these views reflect a broad consensus that the act, because of the restraint imposed upon criticism of government and public officials, was inconsistent of the first amendment and there is no force in the argument that the constitutional limits in implicit in history of the sedition act apply only to congress and not to the states. it is true that the first amendment was originally addressed only to action by the federal government and that jefferson for one while denying the power of congress to control the freedom of the press recognized such a power in the states. but this distinction was limited with adoption of the 14th am

. >> calhoun said we're not considering that at this time. >> yeah. >> well -- okay, all right. >> they should. >> they should. >> i mean, i know what i'm going to do when i book a flight, what kind of plane is on there and i'm going to say i'm not going to get on this thing for a year, at least. >> if they change the name, you're still going to know. >> there was an interview in the "new york times" with doug parker, the ceo of american airlines, brings up a good point, he was saying he doesn't -- the faa has laid out all these conditions and it's the manufacturer, either setting too aggressive a view as to when they'll have the conditions met or not being able to deliver on what they said they were going to deliver american airlines, uniquely, i spoke to an analyst this afternoon in ""power lunch"," in a position to where it's equipped to flip air bus if it wants to because it does have air bus in its fleet it is capable, maintenance wise and all that to switch to the air bus as opposed to continuing taking boeings. >> i didn't know -- when i read that article it was interesting to me

and may the troops say to help in beijing supporters dismantle a fence and clear road blocks near calhoun tong garrison well those are the headlines on al-jazeera do what stay with us studio b. unscripted is coming up next thank you for watching. there's not much like the street violence sometimes stuff is just pop culture is not innocent coated with all kinds of politics the white mainstream feels that the shift is that they're nervous nervous i like my feminist sort of murder free. market i can help contribute to a conversation that will lead to an outcome that is freedom justice equality and self-determination for every academic writer and journalist. my name is. and i'm from black and i think some ideas are too dangerous to do except in novel form and deals are 6 books of fiction. and nonfiction i always knew i wanted to be right. we have an opportunity i remember seeing mark's speech at the un in defense of the palestinian people which got him fired from c.n.n. and shortly after a free palestine. i asked myself what i have in common with a member of the bhutto family a political dyna

see that in the more urban areas like hong kong island in the the more highly populated areas of calhoun moving out to the new territories where it's a more rural population traditionally more of a pro beijing stronghold they may not see that same swing out there. so what would you what the early results i suppose will expect out of the seating what do you predict. if you look at a tough call and i feel like we may end up back where we started over these months of unrest people who at the beginning may have even though they lent pro beijing may have been inclined to support the protesters were against the government the violence and the vandalism may have swung them back to the government side whereas people that started out pro democrats unlikely to have changed their minds and still support the protesters so we may end up a scenario looks pretty similar to what it was coming into all of this and to be different thank you very much for joining us thank you and i should say the police of today there's a record turnout of police around the $30000.00 strong force basically guarding these p

this is probably one of the busiest tunnels that we have in hong kong as you mentioned it connects calhoun which is where we are now to hong kong and now it's shot for the 1st time since these protests began 5 months ago one of the toll booths was set alight overnight this is unheard of to see this empty space where we are now and as you can see probably a couple streets away we've got very heavy traffic jams as a result of this particular tunnel being shut down during pick out i should add now it's about 10 30 in the morning here the last couple of hours it's been shot now we also have a number of empty as at least 15 of the train stations are closed and we also have a number of bus lines have been stopped and as you mentioned the school is canceled for the 1st time that is all schools are canceled last few days we've had some schools voluntarily closed themselves judy concerns about students safety and we've had the what they call the english schools foundation they have had their school shop but today being thursday it's the 1st time all schools have been shut as a result some universit

kong police moved to clear protesters at a university in calhoun after a weekend standoff and more violent clashes. let's discuss with our chief north asia correspondent david engel. ceo richard harris. let's start with you. what is debated -- latest? reporter: just across the harbor from here at the tip of the peninsula and the entrance to the cross harbor tunnel, which has been closed for many days because of the standoff. this morning, we had the beginnings of what was a police dispersal operation where they are trying to move in on the university, where there are 100, maybe 1000. the number is debatable with the , and trenched in the university security campus, probably another way to describe it by the police. they tried they dispersal operation. the were repelled by accounts and also fired tear gas. this is obviously just a standoff that has no solution. rishaad: we talk about all the time, it is a political problem solutions ontical the table. of course, we have to maintain balance by talking to both sides. reporter: absolutely we do. you have to look at the actions of the governmen

last week i was in calhoun county. one of the smallest in the state. we had an assembly of middle school and grade school and we had an announcement that the cooperative would bring the internet which they have been waiting for a decade or longer. it took longer to reach there. i'm glad that the electric cooperative. historically the electric cooperative brought electricity to america, and now they are bringing high-speed internet to rural america. it's critically important for the students to learn that many people living in the big cities take for granted. there are comments about people in small town america about access to health care. because, you see, across our state we have millions of people who live in smaller towns, rural towns, who don't have the same quality health care nearby, whether it's a hospital, doctor, or even a dentist. across illinois five million people live in areas with shortages, two million live in areas without a dentist, almost all of them live in an area without mental health providers, counselors, psychologists. the cons

but nevertheless, now he's got the backing of the new chairman, dave calhoun, said he's not going to muilenburg, for the time being. neil: you always just wonder whether he's potentially dead man walking, though. i always wonder, the problem with boeing is that so much goes through him, he's been the guy, you know, prior to this he often would brag about being a very hands-on, detail-oriented manager. we have seen this before, where testimony gets heated and all of a sudden, not as hands-on, not as detail-oriented. what do you think his future looks like? dagen: i think they've got to get this aircraft back in the sky. that's got to be job one and not to make any ceo, any corner office changes until they can get that done. they suffered some delays on that. i know boeing said it expects regulators will sign off on a package of the software fixes and the like, approve new pilot training plans in the coming weeks, but i think that they can make those decisions once they get this aircraft back into operation. neil: look forward to seeing you in 15 minutes. thank you, my friend. dagen: h

behind the university is the cross harbor tunnel connecting calhoun and the main island of hong kong. that has been closed now at least more than a day. protesters have threatened to shut that down now we are really seeing a lot of the infrastructure taking a hit. that decline, the first time in 10 years, it is unclear whether hong kongers are going to continue to stand with the protesters if their pocket books are affected >> in terms of being on the ground there day-to-day, what percentage of people going to work are going about their daily lives or not >> you know, it is surprising. when you see these images, they look like les miserable. it really is quite dramatic. the reality is less so the protests here are easily avoidable. you can walk around them for the most part, it is mostly an optics issue. it is not so bad protests come from time to time but you can avoid them >> mat bradley, fresh your report this morning. >>> amazon says it is challenging the pentagon's award of the cloud contract that could be worth up to $10 billion to microsoft accusing the government of deficienci

next up is calhoun, georgia, we hear from james on the republican line. caller: good morning.hey are so blind. the whistleblower, i don't think it is necessary to reveal his name, the plot is fully hatched. i think nadler may have already .ad an inkling of it nadler told him this is an impeachment inquiry and that was about three days before ansi pelosi came out with this. i think the irony of this is the double standard andy hypocrisy theouble standard and hypocrisy. how biden bank and stand up there and curse. another irony is all the ukrainians got from the obama administration was pillows and blankets and mres. now trump started arming them so they could back the russians against his good buddy putin. trump has been harder on the president --e any of any president since the cold war. i don't think nancy pelosi would ever submit articles of impeachment to the senate. she is going to drag this out as long as she possibly can in their excuse is going to be there is no use turning over to the senate, just about it now, you have to vote against trump or give us control of the h
