our ralph nader guest ralph.go to a comment of the apple ceo tim cook in response to senate report that accuses this, the massive tax dodging scheme that saved it tens of billions of dollars. report describes a massive web of affiliates spanning several continents that were used, the country's profits even in countries or apple had no employees. overall, apple avoided paying u.s. taxes on $44 billion over a three-year period. this is tim cook speaking before the u.s. senate last month. >> apple has become the largest corporate income taxpayer in america. last year, our u.s. federal cash 30.5% andtax rate was we paid nearly $6 billion in cash to the u.s. treasury. that is more than $16 million each day and we expect to pay even more this year. >> that was apple ceo tim cook. ralph nader, your response? >> apple is part of a huge percentage of its profits and tax havens abroad. so they can say the ones they have not part in this country, they hire tax rate, basically. apple is one of many tried incorporations who b

'm almost done, ralph. one of the things that i have to fight, encourage, every day on the radio is people who want to give up. and i have to remind them of something that a lady who was about to be put into the gas chamber at the end of the holocaust -- and i'll never forget what she said. her first name was bettera. she was -- ber that. she was standing in front of the gas chamber about to be put into the gas chamber when the allied soldiers came and said the war is over. you're saved. a reporter asked her later did you ever give up? she said, no. standing right there in front of the door to the gas chamber, she never gave up. and the reporter asked why. e said, giving up is a permanent solution to a temporary condition. the state that we are in right now in this country is temporary. and we can take it back. because life can be a challenge. life can seem impossible. it's never easy when there's so much on the line. but you can make a difference. there's a mission just for you, just look inside and you wi

ralph, do you want to jump in here? >> no, i concur. i think this is a normal -- quote, normal correction. albeit, i'm not sure it's over yet. and i'm telling my people keep your powder dry. if you're a trader, enjoy the volatility. put very close, aggressive stocks. if you're an investor, wait until the dust settles. i'll be a buyer. >> how will you know the dust has settled? i mean, i don't want to pick hairs or anything, you know, and it's okay to leave some money on the table. but what is it going to take for you to say, okay, i think the sell-off is complete and now we're back to the move on the upside? >> well, officially, from a technical point of view, the oldest theory in tech knon tech analysis, dow's theory, make a new closing high above the may 28th high, and you get a similar new high in the transportation -- as far as i'm concerned -- the correction would be over. >> okay. so the oldest technical theory is dow theory, when you've got the companies that actually make things, doing well, as are the companies that travel thin

ralph, you are the man of the moment to speak to. you were right and have been right on this market in terms of being bullish. however, we've seen some real volatility. do you want to stay on the sidelines here, or would you be putting money to work after the week that was? >> well, when i was on your show last week, maria, i was showing a little bit of concern about the volatility. a lot of failed rallies. and we did enough damage this week -- technical damage -- to suggest that this correction is not over. but i am by no means bearish longer term. in fact, i have welcoming this decline. but i just want to caution everyone, i think we're going to have a pretty volatile summer. >> why, ralph? give me some of the metrics that you look at to lead you to believe that this correction has more selling to come? >> well, you know, very -- from a very, very technical point of view -- and i hate to get too technical -- but the 50-day moving averages, which we all look at, and had held the market to about a 5% correction. well, most of those s

ralph menzies has been there for 17 years. >> ralph's crime was a brutal one.female from a convenience store. took her up one of the canyons. tied her to a tree and cut her throat and then left her there. it was so brutal, that's why he is on death row. >> my window is always covered. if i can't go out there and walk on the grass, i don't want to see the grass. because it does bring back a lot of memories. and it does tell me what i can't have and can't do. so, i just fit into my little world and i'm all right. >> ralph has always maintained his innocence. that's ralph's fight. that's not the state of utah's fight. our staff here manage him day to day because he is a death row inmate. and he will get what's coming to a death row inmate, and nothing more. >> from death row, the condemned will be transferred in a state van to the back of the uinta-3 building. >> i personally wish they would either overturn my case, my conviction, or execute me and get it over with. now, you don't know if it's going to be five years down the road, if it's going to be two years, te

it is a real tribute to ralph. and what ralph has done with this organization. i do not know about the rest of but i woke up the morning after the election of 2012 and i was feeling a bit humbled. , the caselly clear that we made as conservatives and frankly, some of us that were candidates, we did not move the majority of the people in this country. as we gather here to discuss what building a majority under the banner of faith and freedom, we need to do it with humility. we need to understand that we have a long way to go. , i have learned a little bit about humility, particularly on national television. [laughter] , god has called the perfect to go into the arena of public service. -- has not called the perfect to go into the arena of public service. he has called people just like you and me. my savior inspires me as i speak to you today. of theto remind you words of paul when he was , theng of the people philippians in the seventh chapter going through versus 5- 8. he says, "in your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as christ jesus, who,

next speaker we'll have brian smith followed by ralph lee. richard lewis perry. robin anderson. and nick berg. >> hi, thank you board, i am brian smith, the owner of blackberry bicycles on 6th and we opened a little over a year ago. we have been very successful and i don't think we could have done it without the foundation laid by the cm cbd over the last years. it's really critical for my now nine employees and thousands of customers to feel safe and comfortable coming to the neighborhood and coming into my bicycle shop and getting on an expensive bike and riding it around the neighborhood. i really strongly support the renewal of the cm. cbd and i think that the people such as myself who have invested in the neighborhood and the people who live in the neighborhood and the thousands of people moving to this neighborhood, and investing in the future in this neighborhood, will be way worse off if the cm. cbd is not allowed to renew and continue the work that they have already done. thank you very much. >> thank you very much, ralph lee, next speaker. >> good morning supervisors.

hello richmond eutenant-colonel ralph peters. greato have you with us. congratulations on another terrificew book. you chose to focus on that particular parof a war that is incomprehensible to me in the way those people chose to engage dan to talk about the brutality as they go after richmond give us a sense why you chose the narr time frame with the significance. >> it is a timerame that period at the center of the book may five, 1864 and june june 3rd, the people they ignore it because it is ugly and bloody and until late world war two the bloodiest month in aerican history 80,000 american casualties blue and grain 30 days and i felt today that the reality not just the gry that we often seein the popular mediar novels but i get tired of hearing people say our cuntr has never been so divided. as many as three-quarters of a million americans died in a y to bring them back in touch with the reality of our histy in what really took to shape the nation. this is a gram book but my goal is not humble but to right the most realistic history novel that you poss

it's ralph reed and gary bower and all the rest of them. this social conservative ring wing of the republican party comes to a sensitive time in our politics when it comes to the issues nearest and dearest to the hearts of these folks. particularly when it comes to gay politics. by which i mean anti-gay politics which has been a central thing at the christian coalition and the organized christian conservative movement has always stood for. and the sensitive issue for them right now is not just the general american public opinion shift to be in favor of gay rights. the latest abc news/"washington post" poll this week found 57% of americans now support legalized equal marriage rights. it's beyond that, though. it's not just that sentiment, that broad feeling in the country that makes their position against it seem awkward. it is that the question is being called. there are policy positions coming up, policy decisions coming up on this where republicans are going to have to make their feelings known not just to each other, but to the majority

ralph is already thinking about christmas. exclusive behind-the-scenes content. also, while you're there, you can watch this week's press pass conversation with our own pete williams and supreme court expert tom goldstein. they go deep into the supreme court decision and the court. that is all for today. we'll be back next week. if it's sunday, it's "meet the ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] if you can't stand the heat, get off the test track. get the mercedes-benz you've been burning for at the summer event, going on now at your authorized mercedes-benz dealer. hurry, before this opportunity cools off. to prove to you that aleve is the better choice for him, he's agreed to give it up. that's today?

but today at ralph reed's faith and freedom conference, it was clear that their talk of change was just talk. now that paul ryan himself didn't try, he took center stage to say the party is not so extreme. really is not. just trust him on this. >> the left likes to think that we are the fringe. guess what? you, us, we are the mainstream. when you take a look at what is happening, the goal we have in front of us is to reclaim the center of our politics. >> the mainstream? really? even by wrongway ryan standards, that's off base. just listen to the parade of speakers at this big republican meeting. >> big government is undermining our religious liberty. it undermines all of our liberties. >> pray every day that god speaks to them and preserves and enables them to preserve traditional marriage. >> why are you getting engaged in the political discourse simply when you disagree with someone on what the definition of marriage is you're called a bigot or hater. >> college camps for the abortion industry. >> when i hear talk about restoring faith in government, no, no, no, no, no. that is the s

ralph northam. soft spoken, long time state senator. a pediatric neurologist.senate for about five years now. no national profile really, no national connections to call on. and he had a lot less money for this race than the other guy. there was an upset in this race. the state senator doctor from the virginia shore is the one who won. and he won after making essentially the centerpiece of his campaign his efforts to stop virginia republicans and their forced transvaginal ultrasound bill. that's what he put in his campaign ads, his role fighting republicans on that. >> when ken and his crowd in richmond pushed the trans vaginal ultrasound bill, we knew what to do. there was one person to turn to. dr. ralph northam. >> there is no reason that a group of legislators should be telling women what she should and shun the be doing with their bodies. >> i want to shout out to ralph who has led the charge to repeal that ultrasound bill. >> i authorize this message. >> that is how democrats are competing for statewide office in virginia now. and the guy who ran that ad

>> ralph believes we're at the end of a story.tory near its end and you don't like the way the end looks. embassador bolton? >> i agree. it's not looking good. christians communities in egypt and throughout the middle east are ancient. traditions go back a long way. they haven't been large for many years but they're being systematically ground down in this conflict. this is a manifestation of the religious nature of the conflict. it's not about economics or deprivation. people don't become radical islamists because they were born poor. it's religious fanaticism and that means wiping out the opposition. people worry if the opposition prevails in syria, there's going to be a blood bath, especially against the christians but the drews and supporters of assad. it's very worrisome. >> megyn: thank you both. interesting piece, ralph. >>> an actress who once lurched across the scene in walking dead in the center of an investigation over who sent ricin laced letters to mayor bloomberg and president obama. what do you think? that's great.

and to what ralph has done with this organization. i don't know about the rest of woke up the morning after the election on 2012 and i was feeling a bit humbled. it was really clear that the case that we made as conservatives and frankly some of us that were candidates we didn't move the majority of the people in this country. so as we gather here to kind of discuss what building a majority under the banner of faith and freedom we need to do it with humility. we need to understand that we've got a long way to go. now, i've learned a little bit about hue millty, particularly on national television. but the fact is god hasn't called the perfect to go into the arena of public service. he's called people just like you and just like me. nothing less than the example of our savior, if you will, inspires me as i speak to you today. i want to remind you of the words of paul when he was you ng to the people and look, the second chapter and you go through the versees 5 through 8. he says in your reslationships with one another have the same min

ralph reed is associated very largely. he's the chairman of this group, the faith and freedom coalition. he's associated with the social cause. - conservatism but this was really -- they talked about everything. full spectrum conservative issues. i think frankly, the big story though is the immigration debate. maybe secondly, if you want to look at the dichotomy of ran paul and marco rubio on foreign olicy. you can say we want more people, the hamse -- hispanics, specially are christian. maybe conservative means about you're conserving western values and you have to have a strong border. and that you have to honor the rule of law. and so conservatives are really fighting over the heart and soul over what that means. foreign policy is the same time. you have marco rubio and ran paul both elected in 2010 amid this tea party despite guys, both defeated republican candidates in 2010 and, you know, ran paul essentially wants more modest foreign policy. so they're both conservative but which will be the 21st century brand of con

host: ralph joins us from on our democrats line. hi, ralph. >> i'm worrying about this sort of creeping religious movement in the schools and it's going beyond prayer. at least from what i'm reading. it's going on to curriculum and text and specifically the teaching of science and the rejection of science, the rejection of, let's say, the theory of evolution. rejection of, you know, global warming. ah, and then there's also the ocial agenda, which would be see -- anti- let's gay, that kind of thing. so i think of it as kind of a whole. isn't ate whole movement, a whole shift? not just prayer but in agenda. what would you call it, the christian agenda? guess: you know, it's -- i mean in a way -- i can certainly see where you're coming from and how upped think that. i think that the teaching about religion is really about world religion and understanding different point of views and different faiths and that really enriches a curriculum and is not a way of injecting a particular face or a particular religious point of view into sort o

this is the forry of ralph hall accidental tourist. 90-year-old republican congressman from texas went to an event which he thought was in support of a fellow congressman, but later he discovered it was an event for an lbgt group. and he came to this realization and suddenly excused him. >> michael: how did he know something was off? >> i don't know. i would pay money to be there, and say this congressman sure is into pleather. but apparently i have the report, he said i inquired about the congressman being honored . . . and then he said he put down his glass and slowly walked away. >> michael: i love that. i love that he was like oh wrong -- he didn't stay or meet anybody -- >> yeah, i cannot stay at this gay event, so he left. he said people were probably surprised to see him show up but probably not surprised to watch him leave. >> michael: i wouldn't imagine. anything else? >> saw you had stuff about george h.w. bush and since you reported it has gone like wildfire on the internet. >> that was like 30 seconds ago. >> i know. he tur

i want to play a little bit of sound from ralph reid this morning on "meet the press," talking about how his camp is gearing up for the fight. >> what you're going to see in iowa like imposing same-sex marriage -- >> supreme court. >> state supreme court. passing constitutional amendment to ratify that marriage should be between a woman and man -- >> this is the issue of politics are complicated for republicans. i believe a couple house members have said they will introduce legislation, maybe as early as next week it try again on doma. but i don't think there will be a lot of will within their caucus to get that done. given the other issues they have to deal with. >> whether it at the state or federal level, this is such a group of people that are digging their heels in and fighting the sea change and i think we will just as we saw, we will talk about it on an unrelated matter but as we saw on the voting rights act, states like texas for example, introducing legislation within hours of the supreme court decision, i think we will see that happening on state levels with regard to doma

. >> ralph peters joins us, author of the new book "hell or rich men."ou a question, how do you< you're pretty much okay with what's going on in the nsa surveillanceç stuff, iç think. how do you explain this to your conservative or libertarian friends who want to disown you? >> well, i have been there. i think fox viewers know i love this country and value its freedoms. this is a nonscandal. it deflects from the real scandal the obama administration is facing. the intel community can't get a break. if they do anything to protect a terrorist attack, it's, ooh, big brother is watching. if they slack off, there's a terrorist attack, then it'sóx7mn intelligence failure. i worked in that world. the people at nsa are often underpaid for their skills. they're wonk patriots. they do a good job. they're not out to take over the government. they're not looking over the shoulder of 40-year-old losers trolling porn sites. what this program prism ds, at the simplest level, is it collects vast amounts of data untouched by human hands, super computers sort it looking

and brian workhart was the muscle that with ralph bunch -- some of you know of ralph bunch, the brilliant african-american nobel laureate who was one of hammarskjold's inner circle. so that is what you're looking at, is hammarskjold, a peaceful man with no military experience prior to this reviewing the troops. and he did this many, many times. and strange to say his adviser, general rickier, an indian whom he really trusted, said that hammarskjold was a good commander, a good commander in chief. because of his long heritage of military men behind him and said that hammarskjold wasn't afraid of the military the way so many were in high places in the u.n. i don't think he was pleased to be reviewing the troops, but he knew how to do it. enter if between sue -- in between suez which was resolved so brilliantly and the congo crisis which this cover reflects -- this is, you can read the date, it's from summer 1960 -- there were numbers of peacekeeping missions. one, yet another innovation. the ambassador said that hammarskjold didn't consider the charter immutable, that he worked with it to f
