it includes lockheed martin, alphabet -- which is google -- fedex, and exxon mobil. look at theok a lobbying, broken down by industry for defense contractors spent the most, about $300 million over this four-year period. we looked at the tech companies. the five largest tech companies, amazon, apple, facebook, google, and microsoft, and a spent about $200 million on lobbying over this period. we did not find federal conscience and grants flow to those companies, but we found they were interested in a number of different issues key to their businesses. for instance, on privacy issues. apple was interested in tax issues. they had a lot of money overseas that they wanted to bring back to the country, and they wanted a lower tax rate to be able to do that. they spent about 38 million dollars lobbying the federal government for that tax rate when they repatriated the money. data security breaches was another big issue of the tech companies. host: from the democrats line, jim in oregon. hello. caller: hello. theyestion is how is it apply or get the grants? i do not underst

but by itself lockheed martin has been a good job of driving down the cost. they deliver an exceptional platform. the f-35, the pilots in the words think this is the most dominant multirole fighter that have come across the planet, and not an f13 cmo, f-16, f-15 pot would ever want to go back to the previous platforms. they know even if they thought themselves in the other crippling, they always picked the f-35 over that platform. going back to his argument is do we need to prepare advocate for the foldable threat, or do we need to prepare for the next level of war next that next global competitor in the conflict. the answer is pretty easy. we can flex and do the low intensity conflict thing that for a while and not hurt the united states strategically. we had done it exceptionally well, i will say, over the last 15 or 20 years, the intensity conflict with terrorist factions and the likes. we have done very well, and kind of taking away the maligned thought processes you hear across the board, we've done that well in spite of the fact we had an armed force 20

while talking to senior officials and lockheed martin. different direction with selling the pump from, we do not sell them the proper. >> when the congressman gets here i'm going to sandbag him and ask him how will solve it politically in the role of congress, and with like you, and i will ask you to do the diplomacy but having said all the things you said, this is it necessarily the showdown this is one point in time there are number things that they could do to modify, and make this decision with nato allies and out of the program. is that fair? >> that is fair. they have made every verbal statement the said will going to accept it. if the play that we continue delivering turkey 815 to turkey space. willie can go into the pilots and help us on the process. once it is resolved assuming turkey goes on the path of not bind us for hundred you can move aircraft . . . >> and we are talking about the recent experiences that touch on the same areas and one more question but those folks really understand what's the difference like perspective fr

in talking with the most senior officials within lockheed martin, they want no part of that pairing. that's how significant and how sensitive an issue this is. lockheed martin does not want to sell the f-35 to turkey if they get the s-400 threat. >> so let me ask you, the other question is then, turkey is one of the partners in the f-35 production, they actually produce some of the parts. >> yes. >> if you're not just going to say we're not going to give you an f-35, but if you say we'll just won't allow you to participate in the program anymore, what does that mean for turkey and their industrial base? and what does it mean for the program? >> well, there's a couple options here. you can cut turkey out of this completely, which is an option, and the federal government is now considering that, actually eliminating them and cutting off the parts supplies that turkey right now is supplying four different parts that nobody else in the world makes, and a handful of others that several other competitor nations or actually supplier nations do give us. so by cutting them off completely, we

lawmaker kind of agree that abortions are wonderful when they're performed by lockheed martin overseas. isn't it my rent i own now let's go for a while. now where in the country's well isn't it crowded and disgusting so won't these bans it might seem like the actions of some crazy white men who rolled up the bible and smoked it it's actually a will funded movement to rob women of their rights bankrolled by companies like. wal-mart and 18 t. which is at the top giving almost $200000.00 you didn't think the almighty was sponsoring these bills did you i mean if you've ever been to god's house he's asking us for money. one more gave $57700.00 to campaigns of politicians who have rolled back women's rights like the store is. been rolling back prices whoa whoa mark claims to promote women in videos like these from the checkout lanes of the store to executive room we're promoting women in increasing roles of responsibility. oh my god that was so beautiful they were so happy you so confident just ready to ring up your multi-pack of tube socks. but they betrayed us wal-mart funded the campaigns

evidence that it actually works so our clinic has participated in 2 ridiculous operations along with lockheed martin and be a systems they've made this f. 35 and it's been sold already to many governments around the outlook of what i'm going to say when the b.b.c. as i say standing up for their your vision coverage what do you make of the fact that the b.b.c. that alone many journalists will be saying the b.b.c. headline recent was garza rocket barrage would prompt israeli strikes would even goes in the minds of journalists who are. didn't lead to say it is the problem is from garz and not from israel where clearly they're arguing for violations of international law rocket strikes would not justify extra duty judicial killings and they would not justify the collective punishment which is what those israeli strikes are let's be clear the $2000000.00 people that are besieged in gaza and it has are besieged there illegally by the israeli government and trying to juxtapose events as if there hasn't been thousands of palestinians injured over the last year as if there hasn't been hundreds killed as this

includes of course the military industrial complex you know the big weapons manufacturers boeing lockheed martin all the people who make billions and billions tens of billions of dollars off of this perpetual warfare state but i think it actually goes deeper than that i think that the big banks and corporations in the united states you know they need access to markets they need access to labor forces to exploit and the sort of rules of the game internationally as they like to refer to it when it comes to trade i and other economic policies you know the washington consensus is something that they value very heavily so the institutional weight of all of those interests all those very very powerful people and institutions i think can basically overwhelm any individual sitting in the white house but to go back to a conversation about the antiwar movement i think that it can also be said that a mass movement can overwhelm those very powerful entrenched interests and fight back in a very effective way you know. media go ahead jump in go ahead you're to head. i just wanted to add a piece to what walter

raytheon is down, lockheed martin is down. no big moves but that is a very big story that is developing right now. >>> what happens when there are multiple spinning plates that could shatter your portfolio or at least ding it? investors seeking out a safe port in the stock storm and that would be hello, utilities. utilities act often as sort of a bond proxy for equity investors when wall street starts to look a little panicked. the trade war is very much at play here. none of the members of the dow jones utility index which flat right now, has shown a beautiful ten-year picture, none of the names within it have exposure overseas. it's really become a popular and maybe crowded trade in this final hour but either way, we are looking at utilities as a safe haven. to the dow jones industrials. nice move right now, up 108 points. we are on pace, though, for a fifth straight week of losses. that would be the longest losing streak, weekly streak, since eight years ago. s&p 500 and nasdaq down three weeks in a row. so at the moment, i

it's gm, it's ge, it's apple it's lockheed martin, it's boeing it's united technologies, 3 m, johnsonnd the list goes on here what are the types of conversations you're having with some of these customers right now, and if you did see this price disparity take place as the trade war mounts and say china does leave the wto, what would that mean for american manufacturing? if we don't have a bilateral agreement that says that they can't charge a different price inside and outside of china, it's going to cause real harm. it's going to be the equivalent of what labor was ten years ago and that the chinese labor costs were so low companies didn't have an option other than to put their manufacturing there. now we've got alternatives outside of china for labor, so this is another tool in the chinese tool chest to get companies to consider moving their facilities to china as opposed to setting up in the united states, which is what we're trying to do it just creates that kind of leverage we've discussed that with our customers. we have an advisory letter that goes out we've notified them this

work nasa needs a lot more hardware like the orion crew capsule builby lockheed martin and its serviceule built by the european space agency. but the agency also aims to build a small outpost orbiting the moon, called the lunar orbital platform-gateway, and, of course, it needs a lander. bridenstine is hoping for help from international partners, or maybe commercial players. why five years? a lot of people look at it and say this syncs up with the political calendar perhaps a little bit suspiciously. is there a political motivation to all of this? >> i don't think so at all.he if is, nobody has talked to me about it. so, i'll tell you what i think it is. thidea that these long timelines allow the agency to be cast to and fro by political whims, that's what we're trying to avoid. >> reporter: the plan is more than a sprint followed by flags, footprints and photos. sa hopes it will be the beginning of a permanent outpost near the lunarouth pole-- a base for science and a provingou for a mission to mars. the concern has always been that t-- on paper, that's a gr idea. it's a springboard t

hi, morgan >> industrials really getting hit hard today you were talking about lockheed martin even defense contractors which don't have exposure to china are selling off today. so every stock in the s&p sector is trading lower this is after they had a big rebound to start the year. valuations for the multiindustry manufacturers have been elevated by some measures here's how to think about tariffs on these manufacturers this could be a one-two punch. you've got higher potential costs and import costs on some components and goods including those that are maybe being imported into the u.s. for final assembly here. and then you have the prospective impact of global growth and business confidence, which could mean less spending, less demand for the machines and other products that industrial companies are making case in point, farm and construction equipment maker deere, which is the worst-performing industrial name in the s&p 500 today, this is one to watch worst day for deere since december 4th and they're going to be reporting earnings later this week caterpillar similar story. names with so

. >> lockheed martin two years ago was selling at 24 times earnings, today its 15 times earnings and that's because earnings have increased by 55% over the last two years. we like the stock. >> merck and all the big trends like curing cancer, trading at a discount to the market, high single digit top line growth. >> josh. >> i mentioned canopy as a new long and i agree that that brand is going to be important because the plants themselves will be commodities so focus on brand and i think this is a company that is. >> financials have struggled the last couple years, last couple days we have not spoken much about it but the chinese are expressing a wigness to open up their markets for ownership of u.s. financial companies in what is a -- >> services. >> it's a $25 trillion market, i think it's fantastic, i think citi benefits in that environme environment. >> it's been a busy day. the dow falling 200 points today, a little bit more than that beyond meat ipo soaring 150%, steve moore is out, his nomination to the fed has been pulled that does it for us. nancy davis, always great to have

from what i can see, lockheed martin has the capacity to produce 42 additional airplanes by the time that the first two f-15s are in testing. the -- by 2024, when the f-15 is supposed to be delivered, the cost per flying hours from what i can see is projected to be, frankly, less for the f-35. so in every measurement that i have been able to do apples to apples cost, delivery, everything,, not to mention obviously, which to me is the overriding issue survivability. there's no comparison. so here's what i would like if possible, mr. secretary, not to do today but i would like somebody to kind of sit down with us and to really do an apples to apples -- i know it's not an easy thing to do necessarily, but an apples to apples comparison on -- obviously the first question is -- look, i said this to the deputy secretary. i have a 13-year-old son. imagine the privilege if when he gets older he would decide to do what these amazing human beings who sacrifice and join the u.s. military, right? if he was a pilot, do i want him to be in a fourth generation airplane or a fifth generation airplan

billionaire jeff bezos introduced blue moon, his space company's design for lunar landing and lockheed martinve years to get to the moon, and how is that not fairly intense schedule pressure? >> if somebody says it is not safe, they have ultimately the authority to throw a red flag and say stop. it is more important for us that the astronauts be safe. >>> bridenstine is a former congressman from oklahoma thinks that he has the votes on capitol hill to pass this new budget hikement and bigger requests are sure to support, but without this support, the moon is awfully long away. when he said 2024 and not 2028, that is intense game-changer and budget constraints and even with the new money, it is a real push. >> they will want the people to cover it, and are you raising your hand saying i will go, cbs. >> absolutely. i'm a fast learning. >> i was kidding. well, will shg, i will be down cheering you on. >> yes. >> no hesitation. >> and when they said a woman on the moon, i said it is about time. >> are you volunteering? >> i am. and i am not qualified, because these astronauts are the most highly
