so let's check in with michael ward the chairman and ceo of csx to learn more about the company.ck to the company. have a seat. i want to talk about coal and i was -- i was reading about the joy guys and they expect for first final in 20 years u.s. coal production expected to rebound, in illinois. and when you read the things and read that natural gas went to 4, you have to believe there's light at the proverbial end of the tunnel and it's not an on coming train. >> we are optimistic now. >> okay. >> we thought domestic coal would level out this year. we'd be flat in volumes after declining for two years. but we're now optimistic it will be a couple million tons up on the domestic side. >> you have easy comparisons. but this would be in addition to that. >> yes. >> i know when northrop grumman got the compareson, it went up and. >> if you look, jim n the last two years we lost $800 million worth of coal revenue. as you alluded to earlier we've grown the other businwsses faster than we've lost the coal business. >> let's talk about the other businesses. i think intermodal is a tru

something as you recall, michael ward told us right here on the show. now, look at the action in joy global. that's the biggest stand alone coal mining equipment maker. it rallied 3% today. we know caterpillar is joy's largest competitor. means big numbers for c.a.t. fourth and finally, all over the street today, we heard about a revival in trucking for the first time in ages. several firms upgraded truck makers. caterpillar makes the kind of edges that clearly benefit from any kind of rebound in the kind of businesses that require more trucking. so the stock runs with the idea that even if c.a.t. screws it up, how much more can it fall? after all, reported a hideous number last time. and it didn't go down. lots of people are short it. what if it reports a good quarter? the stock would rocket much higher than it is now. want another example? how about this one? johnson & johnson. hey, that's my favorite large cap pharmaceutical name. the company with the highest growth rate of all the major pharmaceuticals, yet it has done nothing, nada at all since it

i want to listen to michael ward on csx on "mad money," it's the big company most levered to coal andis going to break out to 30. i would take it if it says good things off the joy call and sell my croicron and sandisk. short the 2014 and go long the 1850s. >> we are watching 1881 on the s&p. we got a jobs number tomorrow where the s&p has rallied. mark newton said 14 of the past 15 jobs fridays. >> that's incredible. i got to tell you, here's what i'm hearing. and i think that sara eisen said it yesterday when she said, look, a bad number it's weather, it's fantastic. a lot of ways to win. we're overbought and the market has moved up but the denialists are so strong. everything you see on your screen is wrong. take tesla. no. they're not all tesla, guys. they're not all tesla. elon musk is not the devil, okay? i mean, he's done a good job, but don't blame him for the reason why merck is breaking out here. okay? merck is like 12 times earnings. wow, oh, my god, they are paying 13 times earnings fork merck, short it. no! it doesn't work like that. this is not 1999. this is not a situat

michael eaves, thank you. drones, should they be regulated? our jake wardthe growing fight. >> parts of the dakotas, plenty of cold rain and snow coming down in montana. ice jams in rivers causing flood concerns in montana. but flood concerns going away for west, western washington, and the storm systems are finally coming to an end and colder air coming in, bringing snow levels coming in. so if we do get storms it will come down to snow in the mountains and not just rain which will go right into the river systems. so the other part of our story is warm temperatures. boy, the east is going to be celebrating when you start out near 40° for new york. get ready, it's going to feel even better as warm air is surging to the south. it is cooling for the west. here is our flood watches that will be slowly diminishing as we get through the course of the day monday. high temperatures will be 50s and 60s off to the west, definitely much warmer for phoenix at 80. but look at the temperatures for the south and southeast. 60 for washington, d.c. and atlanta at 75. al ja

was thrilled. mary trenchard petrie was a 19 year-old student nurse at michael reese hospital in chicago. she was in the maternity wardith dora fronczak the day after her delivery. >> that whole thing is like a movie in my brain. i see myself in my uniform as a student nurse, i see the joy that was when they brought the baby to her the first time, how thrilled she was. >> reporter: but soon the thrill and the baby would be gone. it was the last time dora fronczak would hold her son. earlier that day, a woman dressed like a nurse, all in white, had come into her room. she looked at baby paul and left without a word. the woman had been seen elsewhere in the maternity ward several times that day and the day before. no one questioned her or raised any alarm. former fbi agent and abc consultant, brad garrett has looked into this case for us. >> my sense is she was looking for what child she wanted to take. >> reporter: that afternoon, the woman in white returned to dora fronzcak's room. >> and as i was leaving the room, a woman came into the room. >> reporter: this time, she did more than just look. >> and did mrs. froncza

meanwhile, new cameras near francis xavier warde school, schaefer park and portage park will start issuing warnings over the next several days. house speaker michael madigan's proposed tax on millionaires was passed by committee and now goes to the house floor. a broader, graduated income tax system for all residents in illinois was rejected. madigan's proposal would impose an additional three percent tax on income over a million dollars a year. voters would have a say on the amendment to the state's constitution in the november general election. children who use a "safe passage" route to school could get free bus rides. the state house passed legislation last night that would pay for buses for students who have to walk through unsafe neighborhoods. supporters say more children have to do that because of last year's school closings. but opponents say the plan could cost as much as 61- million dollars. they say that could take money away from downstate school districts, where bus service has been reduced. chicago public schools will be in session today. it's a makeup day for all the time lost over our brutal winter. the district used robocalls to r

michael thank you very much. >>> a major scientific break through considering the big bang theory. after years of research, science have identified an echo from the first moments of the universe. science and technology expert jacob ward explains pfn. >> this is very high level physics. imagine that somebody dropped a rock in the ocean a long long time ago. scientists here have built a piece of equipment that can in fact detect the ripples that emanated from that rock and they had to actually go to the south pole to get away from all the background noise of the world in order to have a quiet enough spot and aimed that equipment up into the sky, one patch of sky for three years then analyze that data for another three years in order to confirm that those ripples exist. they also in the process managed to confirm that the ocean and the rock exist but we won't get into all of that. the theory of this is called inflation. and it's something that's been worked on for about 30 years. here is the -- one of the founding fathers of that theory, physics professor at stanford named andre linde. finding out his theory has been confirmed. >> what? >> yes. >> just a second. why repeat it. five sigma. >> as clear as day. can r point
