part of the problem was george schultz was travelling a lot in this time. so after the interagency meetings, he didn't have the strong voice of the secretary of state behind him. admiral you thought this was a fool's mission. he said in one meeting he said to the president, do you want to risk the lives of american soldiers from peoria illinois from the dictator when the panamanian people themselves aren't willing to risk their lives to get rid of him. that's a strong argument. >> how did you know that he in a private meeting said you don't want to risk people from peoria, illinois to get this dictator out of there. >> i was able to get notes from some of the meetings. in other cases i had sources tell me what was said. then i would take that account of the meeting to the other side. in other words to get -- to admiral crow's people or people close enough to admiral crow or people in the pentagon involved in one way or the other and i would check the account yes, that's true no it's not true. that's the way it would play out. >> are you suggesting he said p

it didn't matter how many times schultz told us or how hedged the company might be. it seemed to be all that mattered to the people and schultz unveiled the monument to coffee that could service the temp plait for the growth. the coffee equivalent of the winery meets the theme park without the alcohol and the rides. it's a sensory smash and exploits starbucks and powered to invite and of course the power of the portfolio, brands. that's why the fire marshal played a bigger role in the store sells this weekend than any player. you can cram so many people in the building at once. i found myself tweeting pictures in an attempt to be there. now there is much more to starbucks recent breakout that took the stock out of range and up to $83 and change. the rosery was a reminder the coffee price isn't a gating factor. only the imagination is and starbucks is obsessed with exploiting it. finally, finally this past september disney fell from 90 to 81. essentially because of some slow down but the real subtext being fierce that someone would catch ebola on a cruise ship or them

joining me now is connie schultz.e, what has reaction been like as this is unfolding in cleveland just days after the ferguson grand jury. >> there's been a lot of out rage, as you can imagine. it's very hard for many people to believe, including me, that you could, in two seconds, time, yell three times with any sort of clarity to a young man who is alone. we know a dispatcher -- the call to the dispatcher said it was a kid and it was probably a toy gun. none of that was conveyed. apparently, to the officers who arrived on the scene. we have had some very disapointing local coverage from an eomg who decided to go look into the background of this child's parents, criminal back grounds of the parents, and, yet, we know something about the backgrounds of the two police officers including the one who actually fired the gun. so there is a lot of heated discussion about this right now. i think it's really important to distinguish that this reporting has been done mostly by young reporters, not by -- veteran reporters who a

like george schultz went to reagan, because the white house was trying to keep schultz out because he wasn't, back then kind of the neo cons type of thing. he said to the president, i don't need this job, i'm out of here, okay? and basically -- so they were trying to show that, okay, and you hear all these stories about hagel. he's lazy. i mean, come on, you know? they're trying to demean him. at the staff meetings he agreed with kerry and general dempsey. they were right, why not. in other words, there are some pen people who say, i've got to say something whether it agrees or disagrees. i think we're trying to show that they're shaking things up because things are not going as well as we would like in the middle east, like, you know, we were surprised by isil, okay? oh, general clapper's fault. do you want to fire him? no. so hagel was easy sacrifice because he's a republican, who the republicans don't like. and, of course, he was weakened by the confirmation hearing. and again, you know i've known chuck, we worked together in the reagan administration, and what people don't know ab

when i worked in government, george schultz in the state department was upset about the control the white house was exerting and went to regan and said "i'm not going to stay unless i have impact", and the president began to listen to him. that's why gates and pennetta should have said "look, this is not what i signed up for, and i'm going." you need have you been with stature and gravitas in that job. >> and did you find carter's comments in the op ed on bombing north korea, i guess years ago - strange or peculiar, do you think it will come up in the confirmation hearing? >> i find them outrageous, the fact that he is his mentor, bill perry, secretary of defense in the '90s. bombing north korea. imagine what would happen if we had done that. it will come up, but again the republicans may lead that way. the democrats will not want to the embarrass their own president. they have had enough problems. >> lawrence korb, senior fellow and former assistant secretary of defense. >>> one of ashton carter's biggest challenges as defence secretary is i.s.i.l. the u.s. and allies are making slow but

for elliottproblem abrams was george schultz was traveling during this time. at the interagency meeting he did have a strong voice of the secretary of state behind him. was aniral thought this mission. at one meeting he said to the president, do you want to risk the lives of american soldiers from illinois to unseeded dictator when the panama people themselves are willing to risk their lives to get rid of him? that is a strong argument. >> how did you know he said you don't want to risk people from illinois? will able to get notes from some of the meetings. in other cases i had sources tell me what was said. i would take that account of the meeting to the other side. side who had been involved in meetings in one way or another. i would check the account. they would either say yes that is true, no that is not true. that is the way i would play it out. illinoismiral said because the president was from there? >> i didn't say he knew how to speak reagan's language. fromnted out reagan was tempe go, illinois. illinois area. he picks the way of saying that because h

my name is kevin schultz, i teach at the university of illinois at chicago. the title of my paper is the blessings. on august 6, 2009, the u.s. senate voted to confirm soanya sotomayor to fill a seat in the supreme court, hardly anyone thought it worthwhile to mention her fate. -- faith. journalist talked about the fact that she was the only latino nominated to the court or that she was the living embodiment of the american dream, having raised herself up from a relatively impoverished childhood in the bronx to rack up and unbelievably distinguished career in law. even though who opposed her nomination they did not bother to mention her faith, criticizing her instead for being an activist judge. that hardly anyone pointed out that when she was sworn in two days later, she would become this asked cap -- catholic on the bench, thus giving catholics a super majority on the nation's highest court. but what i also find most striking, taking the spot of the last remaining protestant. when she was sworn in, all the non-catholics on the bench were jews. nothing was r

. >> i'm going to default to the way howard schultz handles starbucks.hen howard schultz goes to china, he has parents day. he invites parents of the employees in. he spends a lot of time at a grassroots level. kfc will say they do grassroots too. starbucks wasn't hit by a scandal, but the chinese government, as you have explained, david, many times, does have its favorites. i think kfc is not a favorite anymore of the chinese government. and that makes it much more difficult to tell a positive story. >> also, the mind set of the food supply over there much different than in the united states. it's very hard to understand. >> for the longest time we did feel because it's american, yum was therefore safe. obviously, yum did everything it could. yum is not trying to buy crummy supplies. >> when you go over there, as carl and i did recently, and you see the pollution in the air, it also begs the question, where is my food coming from? where is all this stuff falling? where are they growing whatever it is i'm eating? >> you have dead pigs in rivers in major

but george schultz, former secretary of the treasury has a tattoo. >> what is it. >> a tiger.e he went to princeton. there are plenty of jobs out there. for people willing to work, learn a skill, save, be disciplined, the economy is fine. >> what about holiday spending? >> we don't know whether we'll break down. that's a very short-term phenomenon. so far we count online and brick and mortar it's been quite good. brick and mortar alone, not so great. but it doesn't matter that much. that's only a very smart part of the total economy. it is good for a couple of days headlines, a couple of days talk on talk television and talk radio but it doesn't really much about the economy. the economy is basically in very strong shape. we have goosed it, bumped it up with lots and lots of deficit spending. some day we'll have to deal with the deficit. some day we'll have to deal with real interest rates but for now it is no good shape. the rest of the world is not in such good shape. >> when you see my husband this week you tell him i need to shop and it is all for the good. >> i would say,

starbucks founder and ceo howard schultz will be live on the "closing bell" here on cnbc. we will learn about the reserve tasting rooms and about big plans for the future. >> hopefully they put one near you or me. we will see. >> absolutely. >>> the french always seem to be on strike. airline workers, farmers, waiters, someone is always walking off the job. now it is the bosses. >> reporter: this week the bosses say they have had enough and weren't going to take it anymore. in an unusual twist it was french business owners, not workers, who took to the streets in protest against the government. they say that inflexible labor laws are hurting the french economy. >> it is something you cannot translate in french which is a business friendly environment. >> reporter: next year a series of new laws will come into effect, effectively raising the cost of hiring workers. this includes legislation that forces part-time employees to work at least 24 hours a week. next week president hollande's party will announce reforms. >> not very easy for the interpreters. >> reporter: he says

eric schultz releasing a statement. i will read you what they are saying. they say the president applauds sony's decision to authorize screenings of the film as the president made clear we are a country that believes in free speech and the right of artistic expression. the decision made by sony allows people to make their own choices about the film and we welcome that outcome. so much of this criticism of sony was led by the president last week when he said he disagreed with sony's decision to pull the film. he said that was a mistake. we have seen tweets just today from james franco, the actor who is in the film saying that he is celebrating "the interview." the president mispronounced james franco's name during the press conference and now james franco taking the opportunity to tweak the president a bit. >> he said he wished that sony had spoken to him first before they decided to pull "the interview." thank you very much. >>> let's go back to the markets and the economy. rick santelli in the bond pits. gdp 5%. do you think this is really a 5% economy? >>

the national park service is helping you see the sales and migrating whales off point reyes with a schultz taking you from drakes bay to chimney rock overlook along the marin county coast. the service will continue through january 2. shuttles move out at 9:00 a.m. and the last one leaving at 5 o'clock, sir francis drake boulevard is closed to private boulevard while the shuttles are in service. >>> how about a little comedy and kung hundreds gathering on pacific avenue for laughs and a lot of chinese food the jewish creator and producer wanted to give those would don't celebrate christmas alternative entertainment. >> i came up with the idea of doing jawish come by on christmas in a chinese restaurant to give jews and other people something to do on christmas. we provide an at fat to christmas and a sense of belonging, community, people do not have anything to do that night. >>> some of the proceeds will benefit san francisco's suicide prevention in honor of the late comic robin williams. jewish family and children's services food programs will benefit from the annual show. >>> we are comi

sitting at the feet of henry kissinger and george schultz, picking their brains about what's going onworld, that has paid great dividends. if i make the decision to run for the presidency, i will be prepared. >> reporter: but this is the second largest state in the union and you have talked about the great strides you've made with this state. why isn't that enough experience? >> well, there's a great deal of difference between putting economic policies into a state and being very cognitive and versed in foreign policy, in monetary policy or domestic policy for that matter. >> reporter: last week, jeb bush became the first republican to make official news towards a 2016 run. >> jeb's a good man, a good friend. great family, good governor of florida. as a matter of fact, i think jeb getting into the race will help the field. >> reporter: how so? >> he's been a successful governor. again, having a person of his background in the race makes a lot of sense. but it won't make a difference about whether i get in or not. >> reporter: in texas, there are a lot of donors that jeb bush might wel
