what you're seeing here is the product, the mac pro is 15,000 times more powerful than the original macan perform 56 trillion tasks per second. that is 56 trillion tasks per second. its absolutely. we could not be more proud of the product. it is an example of american design, american manufacturing and american ingenuity. we want to thank everybody for coming and i turn it back to -- oh, one other thing of the this morning we also announced a one billion dollar investment, groundbreaking, rebecca was there with me for this, for a three million square foot site in austin, ten minutes or so away from here. we view austin as a very key place for the future of our company. it is the second largest site in the world for us next to our home base in cupertino. so i'm hoping for obviously more invests to come. thank you very much. >> so tim was saying, a little while ago, he is starting a massive new development also in texas, austin. but he's also said something to me about the american economy. because he is, you know all over the world. i would say that nobody is more over the world than ap

they will continue manufacturing the mac pro there.s that they need have a tariff exemption. so not as if apple is coming something new there. >> and they have been doing it with a company called flex which is also publicly traded. and i man j and i man jeamon javers, let'su >> reporter: and he didn't take any questions from reporters those reporters at the white house south lawn today were loaded for bear with questions from the sondland testimony which was relatively damaging for this president this morning. so the president not offering them the opportunity to get in with questions on that simply asserting his innocence and you can see his frustration what he has been seeing in the impeachment hearing. meanwhile he is getting on the airplane coming here to austin as you have been talking about to visit this flex facility where apple manufactures the ma pro computers. and we'll watch the dynamic between president trump and tim cook both men want something from each other, both men are a little bit you would imagine wary of each other

this is the plant that will assemble the mac book pro.t, in fact, owned by apple but it will be the plant where it's assembled we've been waiting for this for quite some time. it's been delayed partly because of a delayed departure from the white house. but also he has been at the facility for 40, 45 minutes. clearly, having some private conversations with tim cook, the apple ceo. you can see the treasury secretary there as well as the president's daughter, ivanka trump. >> facilities owned by flex as well another publicly traded company. they do some of the assembly and manufacturing for apple. that's what's taking place here in austin, texas we'll continue to keep an eye on it and see what kind of comments get made by president trump and tim cook, as they stand here and look at some hardware. >> of course, we're waiting, in particular, to hear any comments on trade we can expect some trade comments to come out of this, given the news flow of the day of course, the talking point that these two share significantly, they've talked about tr

that's a very very positive sign when talking about building the mac book pro and mac book. >> tim apple is the nickname i think they have between the two of them. that's a totally cool thing. [laughter] >> trump needs this, guys. we were up in wisconsin just a couple weeks ago for a shoot and talking about the local economy there and how folks expect, you know, that big factory to be built. now, it is in some question. obviously it's been delayed and it is something that's hopefully coming in 2020 for trump's take because he needs another win like this as we go in through, you know -- certainly yes employment numbers are very good. gdp maybe not so much and obviously some distraction in d.c., so the fact that he's able to get as you guys both pointed out reasons for apple to make this investment in the united states whether it's china trade or as liz pointed out some of the money they had offshore at one point before the corporate tax cut, this is a big win for trump on that side because he needs a victory here. >> so happy to see a politician who is talking about capitalism and growth

visit, trump can highlight his jobs agenda by pointing to the fact that apple is manufacturing the mac pro in austin and tim cook got facetime with the president as his company looks to void tariffs that came down in december, at -- in september and the new round coming up in december. david: and it was not just tim reports that have mark zuckerberg had dinner with the president at the white house. the white house to not disclose this dinner it was reported today. we don't know what tech leaders discussed with the president,

he toured the factory that will a sem bill the mac pro computers.arlier this month, the company filed a request from further ex emts yesterday's event was another symbol of the relationship which has been building with dinners and cook's involvement with several advisory councils. the president expressing support of cook as well as apple's move to make products in the u.s. >> when you are building in the united states, you don't have to worry about tariffs. that helps people make a decision to come in. he's a very special person as far as this country is concerned because of job potential and the great job he's done. >> important to note, apple does not own that plant it is operated by flex about 20% of apple's revenue comes from china estimating an additional 10% tariff from china would result in a 4% hit on apple's earnings per share in fiscal 2020 >> this is interesting we all know about tim cook and president trump's bromance it appears that perhaps another well-known and successful ceo may be trying to follow this playbook >> also in tech. just

right there they are assembling the mac pro inside.exas campus for apple in the future. but also, over my shoulder, i don't know if you can see it or we can zoom out to it, there's a police truck making an arrest of one of the demonstrators. several dozen have descended on this part, waiting the u.s. president and the ceo of apple as well. but this morning, we did hear from president trump as he made his way to marine one heading to austin, texas. >> -- asking tim cook from the day i got elected from the campaign, i have been asking tim cook to, if they would, we want to see apple built here. that way you have no tariffs. there's no tariffs. when companies come to our country and they build, there's no tariffs. susan: that's what they're doing, they're building in america. that means hiring employees as well, as much as 15,000 as they have now broken ground on their new $1 billion austin, texas campus here. they made that announcement this morning, where they will be building the mac pro in the future. also, i should point out, we know

they're raising prices. >> it's like two mac pros just for an rh couch.the question i have whether you're talking about the wealthy or not, is this the time to be building 17 to 30,000 square foot brick and mortar stores and to be betting your future on giant boxes rather than moving online >> the ceo takes the position that they're taking the road less traveled so where we're seeing stores downsize, they're betting on a larger shopping experience we're seeing arrest fraunts resn their stores and we're seeing that also with lululemon >> buying a couch is not like buying a t-shirt you want to see it, experience it, how does it look in my house. >> that's why they're calling them galleries it's an interactive experience where you not only get to use the product but enjoy a drink, meet new people. they have a lot of social events that take place at these galleries across the nation. in terms of tariffs, this is one of the few companies that took a proactive approach when tariffs were announced in early 2018 by trying to diversify the supply chain and at the

is heading to texas today to meet with apple ceo tim cook in a facility slated to assemble the mac book pro tariff exemption and announced it would build the redesigned mac book. using today's event to convince companies to add more u.s. manufacturing jobs as for cook, the tour may highlight a strong relationship with the president as he seeks further relief from tariffs on chinese imports. >> i have to say the relationship is so fascinating they come from completely different sides in terms of some of their own politics. that is clear and yet tim cook has somehow managed to engrashate himself >> at great peril. great peril to the woke social media crowd. >> certain customers and employee base. he's walked a fine line and threaded the needle in a remarkable way >> i know share holder value is not in vogue anymore if it benefits the company whether it is tariffs or recurring favor with people in high places, i think -- people on your side are so quick to park their joke sensibilities when it benefits them. for example on the nba >> two weeks ago you were saying -- >> i'm not on either side.

saying we have begun manufacturing the mac pro in austin it's been the most powerful mac ever. and as you can see is dated back to two thousand thirteen so we do have some proof that this- apple factory existed already before. no matter what the us president said and now switching gears next- grass thunberg has a hugee following and now coldplay is following in the footsteps what are they up to. yes so in this interview with the bbc coldplay just announced that they will pause during. until their concerts are environmentally beneficial so they have said that they will take up to two years in order to make their concerts and perform their concerts. to be carbon neutral and sustainable for the environment. how they do that well the. that's why they're taking two years to see how they will do this it is not. clear yet maybe they can dig boats across oceans like e wheni thought maybe. maybe i've been there so inspired by greta maybe but they have said that they would love that their dream should have no single use plastic and have it largely solar powered so therere's an idea of wh

a few mac pros, but we are not talking about building the iphone at that factory.et he has gotten in president trump's good graces. do you see that as an undervalued asset when you take a look at apple? >> absolutely. to put some context to that, we are talking about 1% of apple's business is this mac pro, this high-end computer. yes, it is an undervalued asset. when we think about this relationship, it is a relationship that both benefit from. it is clear to look at how apple benefits from these exclusions from tariffs. not only that, but as we go forward, at being in the good graces of the administration should help with future tariffs, as you have outlined. at even next year as this plays out. the separate piece on this is this helps trump obviously as well on building his brand around what is, globally, one of the most respected companies globally. i think tim cook, if we remind the last decade, is that he came in being really known as being an operator. now he is, has become a statesman. there are two other phases, and the next i think is an innovator. one las

, is made. >> we're really proud to make the mac pro here. >> reporter: but on the horizon, without a trade deal with china, the threat of new tariffs, as early as december. you could be paying an additional 10% for those phones coming here from china. would that mean you raise the price of an iphone for consumers? >> i don't even want to speculate, because i'm hoping that that doesn't happen. >> reporter: after 16 months of negotiations, a deal with china still uncertain. will there be a trade deal in place before the end of the year? >> so, i can tell you this, china would much rather make a trade deal than i would. >> reporter: then why haven't they? >> because i haven't wanted to do it yet. >> reporter: china also happens to be one of apple's most important markets. the world now watching as china cracks down on pro-democracy protesters in hong kong. at what point does apple re-evaluate its presence in china? >> i don't envision apple pulling out of markets. that doesn't seem to serve anybody, particularly the users that are there that are counting on us. >> reporter: is there a

tim cook basically walked trump around the facility, talked about the components that go into the mac proow its final assembly is in austin, texas, while the components are built in china, they are imported from texas. the big news moment that happened is when bloomberg asked president trump if this is going to lead to some sort of exemption on overall china tariffs for apple, and trump said that is something that his administration is looking at. you saw aftermarket stock moves of 0.6%, which is significant for a company with a market cap of over $1 trillion. if trump would've put in some sort of waiver for apple, that would be extraordinarily significant because december 15, that is when tariffs were going to kick in for the first time on the iphone, with degenerates -- generates around two thirds of apple's revenue. taylor: we know tim cook was meeting with him to talk about keeping mac and iphone off the tariff list. >> the problem you have is you have samsung -- it's a great company, but it is a competitor for apple, and it's not fair because we made a great deal with south korea, bu

apple, the company, just unveiled the latest computer, the mac pro. it was immediately mocked online because it looks very much like a certain kitchen appliance. what does it look like? it a, a toaster, b, microwave, or c, a cheese grater? >> she bus early! >> i did not! >> our judges are saying susan writing in early so it's going to jesse watters. >> cheese grater for the win. >> is it a cheese grater for the wind? >> what do you think that is? that is the new mac pro and a lot of people say it looks like a cheese grater. >> we were wondering. jesse watters -- susan, you are being penalized for being so fast which is in most contacts the winning quality but a little too fast for us. congratulations. jesse watters, a win for you. very impressive. we are going to send you the coveted erik wemple mug. there it is right there. by the way, we have gotten so many requests from viewers who want an erik wemple mug that it is now for sale but you can get your own made in america. go to tucker carlso tuckercarlsd get your own erik wemple mug. it's delicious.

the mac book pro is not the driver of apple's growth going forward.t a strategic facility for apple in a lot of ways it's strategic in the sense that it has helped smooth relationships with the trump white house. it is an opportunity i think for tim cook to further burnish his credentials with this president and members of the president's family tim cook is masterfully worked the relationship not only with president trump but also with ivanka and jared and so i think this will just further burnish his relationship with the trump white house. >> all right one more thing, stephanie, now, you're jumping on the plant-based food chain in this particular edition of fast company as well. but this time it's not just about what's happening with burgers. it's going beyond. the plant based crave has taken over things like yogurt, right >> the new fast company we're pleased to offer exclusive to our readers chobani is announcing that it is introducing a line of oat-based milk products. they essentially introduced america to greek yogurt. oat-based milks are popul

wrong what is the bogus controversy over that apple event yesterday where president trump toured a mac proboston with ceo tim cook. so many commentators who despise the president are ringing their hands, accusing cook of participating in a political ad for trump's reelection campaign. are you kidding me love him or hate him, trump is the president of the united states touring a factory in, anywhere is the kind of thing any president would do obama, both bushes, clinton loves it when companies create jobs in their country. apple spent min hundreds of millions of dollars to expand their manufacturing capability here in the u.s. that's a good thing, regardless who is sitting in the oval office the president may not have been crystal clear when he talked about apple opening a new facility they were touring a mc pro plant that belongs to flex, but apple just broke ground on a new office campus in austin yesterday. the point stands they're making some incredibly high-powered computers here in america, and they're also creating lots of new jobs. does it help president trump's reelection prospects
