kevin johnson told cramer, jim cramer, what he said last night on mad money. >> we have not seen signs of, you know, in the u.s. of anything related to a slow down. but we do know these things go in cycles but right now we're firing on all cylinders and consumers seem to be doing well. >> shareholders likely share johnson's optimism stocks up more than 80% over the last year. so when you -- do you say take a listen >> i try to avoid it actually. >> what does that even mean? folks at home if you ever become a tv person, whenever you toss to a sound bite, it's just, if you say take a listen, you feel so anchor like but it's so common, it's so sad to see good anchors that i respect say take a listen, every time. >> no way to tee up -- >> could you start going slow? >> it's a signal to the control room to roll the sound bite. >> but if you start going slow and they know it's coming and then just stop and then just deal with the silence there. >> go like this. >> no. >> i have sometimes said listen here. >> you're telling people that. >> here's what he said here's what they said. come up wi

kevin johnson, the company with huge exposure to not just china but around the world isn't worried about a recession just yet speaking with jim cramer on mad money last night >> we have not seen signs of the u.s. related to a slow down. and consumers seem to be doing well >> it's the one thing that seems to be opening up this economy now. a major court ruling against johnson & johnson and contessa brewer. >> judges ordered johnson & johnson to pay $572 million contributing to the opioid epidemic they filed this under the public nuisance law the company sold opioid drugs. j and j and it's subsidiary down played the risk of addictions and targeted doctors that subscribe lots of opioids as key customers. the $572 million judgment covers what the state says it will spend to tackle the prices including treatment and n what the state would be seeking though. analyst expected j and j to be fined as much as $5 billion. the stock is up about 2% this morning in part probably because this was priced in already the danger of a $5 billion judgment shares of other makers of opioids are also higher thi

. >> and kevin johnson says that business is great despite the u.s. trade war with china. in fact he told criminal cramer last night he didn't see a recession on the horizon >> we have not seen signs of -- in the u.s. of anything related to a slowdown. but we do know these things go in st cycles right now consumers seem to be doing well >> and starbucks sharies are up and it has not been a great market lately. >> starbucks had the 7% comp in the u.s. a 6% comp in china while everybody is talking about the trade war, they are basically saying what trade war, we're not feeling it here or there but it is not just starbucks it is chipotle, shake shack, mcdonald's, dunkin, all reporting strong earnings. restaurant sales $863 billion this year, that is a new all-time high. and even if we go into a recession, it will be a long time before you see restaurant spending slow down because the unemployment rate is so low. so it will take a while before people change their spending habits >> and it is hard to make generalizations about american consumption, but one thing you know, folks

i have kevin johnson on tonight. if we tells me that coffee is taking share or they see any diminution in profits, but if business is as usual -- >> we wondered about would the chinese go to sort of a an asymmetrical response, boycotts, pushing nationalism, that doesn't seem to be where they have gone yet. nobody should have been surprised that they responded with tariffs they have done that every time but they seem very hesitant to push the boycott and nationalism button. >> interesting the administration was hoping that the narrative on this morning's show would be about the big japanese deal. which didn't lower tariffs on their trucks and cars. but did make it so that there is a lot more agriculture i think they felt that this was going to be what we talked about. obviously we got derailed in terms of what we're talking about because of the tweets. and the doral, which was an odd comment, i don't know if you heard that one. >> i did. >> doral is why the talks might go well. the president being facetious, you say t

honeywell operates in a number of spaces so he's not the only ceo weighing in on the air starbucks ceo kevin johnsonave not signs in the u.s. of anything related to a slowdown but we do know these things go in cycles. i think sort of a key takeaway here from my conversation with honeywell is that there is still growth, that growth is slowing, especially compared to last year i would categorize him as cautiously optimistic. there's exposure in china but it is production in china for china. and i think that is sort of a key template for many manufacturers out there. in terms of global footprint and much more localized in terms of how they manufacture and servicing different markets. and so, this idea of tariffs, mitigating the risks, something that honeywell says it has been able to do and it's also betting really big on industrial software, as well. a longer term story, part of the reason we sat down but in general optimistic. >> on a company that touches lots of parts of the global economy so it's good he is not detecting any outright weakness, not yet. for more on the economic outlook, let's bring

however, obviously there is a shifting global political climate right now obviously as kevin alluded to with boris johnson and the uk. there's a resurgent conservative movement in italy. there might be some maybe progress or opportunity there, but it is so interesting to, i think, look back at this past week president trump has had in terms of foreign policy. i mean it is hard to believe, but just a couple of days ago he was defending his calls to look into buying greenland and postponed his trip to denmark. so he's getting involved in the global community and coming face-to-face with these leaders at a very precarious time. i am watching this from a political campaign perspective and looking at what former vice president joe biden said yesterday. he said, president trump's past week has been embarrassing, quote, unquote, and americans should be embarrassed with president trump going into this meeting right now with the global community. so going into a presidential election, you know, president trump has had such a chaotic week. in terms of foreign policy, his comments this week have been so completely r
