mr. cramer. mr. speaker, there are many troubling issues that we in congress must address in order to reverse the alarming trends that we see today in the health, safety and well become of native children. these kids deserve far more of our time and attention. yet, for too long their needs have been neglected by this body, and so, mr. speaker, i call on congress to reverse this apparent neglect and to start passing legislation like the bill before us today. it will help protect and provide for our native children. mr. speaker, i want to thank senators hoeven and tester for introducing and moving the native american -- native children safety act. i stand in support of this bill and in support of our children. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. cook: i yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from north dakota, the author of the house companion bill, mr. cramer. the speaker pro tempore: the gentle

mr. cramer, what is the key? >> the key to this market? >> to this market. let's get right to it. am thinking that the key to this market will be the action, guess this, in ibm. >> ibm? >> because this is a level where if it can break out, we can say all of old tech with the exception of intel, the westinghouse prize and then len shiver picked up for regeneron. it was so great for regeneron. >> good for regeneron taking that on. >> ibm does a lot for awards, too. i've taken the winners out for dinner. we've been seeing techs doing better and better and better. meanwhile, dollar tree, dollar general, what's it say about our market today? what's it save? what is happening in this country? this is the middle class actually really suffering. all these politicians talk about it but when you go to the stores, i happen to like dollar tree very much because i am a candy guy. jim, go into cvs for candy, papa said it's a sin. does it really matter at this point that i have diabetes? he said i want you to buy them at dollar tree. >> dollar tree is up 9%. it diverges from what we've seen in r

mr. cramer: thank you, mr. chairman. i thank you, mrs. brooks, for your leadership on this. mr. kennedy as well, for bringing this important legislation to our committee and to the floor. i rise to support it. with heroin addiction now being three times greater than it was a decade ago, we know it doesn't matter where you come from. whether you are on an indian reservation, a farm, middle of a city, a suburb, small town, whether are you in fargo high school, grant forks university, bismarck college, it doesn't matter what your lot in life is, your income level, doesn't matter what your social status is, this opioid abuse crisis affects people of all walks of life. and it's time, it's about time we acknowledge it and try to deal with it at this level. this bill is basic but pretty profound as well because it takes advantage of the collective opportunity of collective talents, experiences, backgrounds, people on the ground that are dealing with it every day. brings it all together and facilitates at every level of government, in every community and every state, whether it's north

mr. cramer, but we're going to have an opening bell. lot of starts are going to start trading right here on "squawk on the street." >>> you're watching cnbc "squawk on the street" live from the financial capital of the world. we'll get the opening bell in about a minute's time. coming off of best day for stocks since march 11th, jim, as people in the middle of the session decided they wanted to own some more of these things. >> that was an amazing day yesterday because you had oil cooking, the dollar going the right way. you didn't have really any earnings reports that could destroy the thesis, so in the absence of everything the market went higher. we went back and looked at a lot of stocks that reported great numbers and they were all flying. and i think that was important. >> most of the s&p earnings are now in. profit down about 7.4. at the beginning of april estimates were for them to fall about 9.5. it has not been a good earnings quarter but it's been less worse than people thought. >> yeah, just some high profile disappointments

mr. cramer: reducing our icbm alertness is reducing our readiness. and this act is to ensure our military readiness. the icbm's have been a very effective deterrent enemy aggression for decades. this amendment is simply a deterrent to those who would try to reduce our readiness by reducing our alertness and reducing the number of icbm's. this would be a dangerous step, contrary to long-standing policies of our defense and certainly a bad posture. with that i would yield back and i thank the gentleman again. the chair: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from montana is recognized. mr. zinke: mr. chairman, i yield one minute to the gentleman from the great state of alabama. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. rogers: i understand that the responsiveness and distributive nature of our icbm's are their most critical feature and their unique contribution to our nuclear triad. an adversary would only need to strike less than 10 targets to disarm our nuclear forces. with an icbm, they need to strike hundreds of targets in the homeland. that's

mr. jim cramer? is the street getting it wrong? >> no, because they are look g fing for the growth opportunity in the near term and not seeing it. no visibility on it. is the street going to get it wrong longer term? yes, they are, and that is why there is a name that you want to own and not trade around it. and can it fall behind 90? yes, absolutely. it is my mantra as well, because i have made the mistake in years to be the idiot of trading around apple and losing a ton of money doing it. and don't forget i called it a generational buy or something like that stupid a few years ago, and i have lost a lot of money trading apple, and it is better to own it, and be cautious of the consis ten soif the earnings because of the balance sheet, and what they give back to the shareholders an ultimately they tend to find their way in terms of growth, and they will do it once again. >> steve? >> well, the stock is a market stock, and doing better than market, and maybe in a declining market, and so it is a fairly safe place to be, but apple i

mr. secretary. good to see you. g jim cramer. >> good to see you. >> indiana they had the primary. i know there's a video that event viral. the united technologies, where they're saying listen, we have to do mexico. i'm trying to figure out, is there a way to have a strike force, where as soon as something like that happens, the government says, we're in here, we're going to help you. this is an important plant, important city. i looked at them and said, wow, they just woke up and found out their job's going to mexico. you would love to have a government that is so pro takt active to do something about it. >> we have been working closely with, you know, companies and communities across the country. where, we see, you know, danger signals. sometimes, you know, when we see these tanger signals, we're too late. but we have had a lot of success making sure that things don't happen. and frankly in a lot of cases we have been able to prevent things from happen ppg we have to continue to be vigilant. the president's been doing that. trying to create a level playing field. make sure we rew

cramer joins us now from the new york stock exchange. killer interview last night, jim. >> thank you. >> with mr. cook from apple. think -- well, first, there's got to be more negtivity about the stock. these analysts haven't downgraded it. but my takeaway is if you think the company is a device company, that's a misread. the company is going to have 1.5 billion devices in the next year and a half. and it's really just a trojan horse for services and the services you think they may have backed into it, but that's the revenue stream that is going to be preeminent as they grow into other different parts of the world. and i just think people are viewing it as just a cell phone company. if they view it as a cell phone company, you should sell it. because it's not that, but i understand right now why you would say it is. you have to think about what it will look like, not what it is now. >> awesome. >> thank you. >> we look forward to seeing you very shortly. i'm sure you'll talk more about apple and i know i'll be stay tuned for that. >> coming up, tim armstrong's take on technology right now and in the next hour don
