howard schultz: yeah.e shop tell people what it thinks about humanity. >> howard schultz: the execution was flawed. and who owns that execution? i do. because i was the one who was pushing us to not play it safe. >> pelley: but from the beginning, his 350,000 employees caught a break with schultz's social agenda. >> barista: whoo, thanks kirby! >> pelley: they enjoy health insurance, tuition aid and stock. >> barista: caramel macchiato! >> barista: hi there, welcome! >> pelley: schultz likes to say he created the company his impoverished parents never had the chance to work for. >> howard schultz: when i read statistics that says that over 40% of the american people don't have $400 in the bank, and are only a crisis away from bankruptcy, or that 5.5 million kids in america, many of whom are african american and latino, are not in school and not in work and don't have a chance, and one out of six people in erhis is what i think about. >> pelley: those grim numbers describe his own childhood. >> howard schul

schultz. >> thanks, chuck. good to talk to you. >> let me start with what probably every one of your former colleagues are asking, number one, are you a democrat and why are you doing this? >> i am a democrat, been one my whole life and will continue to be one. i am doing it because howard is a great guy. he loves his family, this country, he wants to make america a better place. being with him on the journey as he figures out whether or not to run for president is exciting. one of the things that's great about it, i have been in politics a long time as you can tell from the gray hair on my head, the thing that's cool is there are democrats, republicans, people in the former military, former journalists, a people of diversity i never experienced. for us to come together and work on this has been an experience. >> you know the way twitter and social media works. there's an op-ed you wrote in 2016 making the rounds nfor. why should you not eat those words today? >> couple of things. number one, howard schultz is

michael bloomberg denounced schultz.on the left were so angry they screamed at howard schultz when he went in public. watch what happened at a book event lastoo night. >> don't help elect trump you egotistical billionaire [bleep]! go back to getting on twitter. go back with the other billionaire elite who think they know how to run the world! that's not what democracy needs! >> tucker: in fairness, the heckler dides make some solid points. the last thing we need is another egomaniacal moron running the country into the ground. if you sincerely thought barack obama did a great job as president he probably would be perfectly happy with howard schultz at the home. the problem is, that nobody really thinks that obama did a great job as president. ohey just all feel obligated to pretend he did. nobody wants to be rude about it. i get schultz's problems aren't really related to what he believes. his political positions. his views are really indistinguishable from nancy pelosi's views. schultz's sin is running thirdrd party. th

what does howard schultz say about that?> my jaw was on the floor when he broit up bloomberg before i did and he said to me, i'm paraphrasing, if mike bloomberg ran two years ago as an independent, i think he could have won. i said howard schultz, mike bloomberg doesn't even think that. he did all the data, he poured money into this he says the numbers don't work out. he says i think he could have won. i disagree. then i say if mike bloomberg jumps in much more centrist than some of the other democratic candidates this year as a democrat, will you not run spend that said mike bloomberg running has no impact on my decision to run. because they have very similar platforms on things like medicare for all, for example, but he said it won't affect his decision. >> that was interesting because in the conversation he made clear he was waiting to see what bloomberg and biden do, other older white guys. >> that's true. that is all true, john berman. and we spent an hour talking. so you can hear his explanation on a lot of that in the

you oppose howard schultz's plan. schultz running as an independent isn't about bringing anyone together. it's about one person: howard schultz. >> we tend to siphon off a number of votes and get the wrong person into office. certainly everyone, democrats, independents, right-minded republicans are wanting president trump out of office. the water is fine, get your ideas into something like that, but we have to unite with one candidate. howard being on the independent side, that just hands the presidency back to donald trump in 2020. >> washington is a pretty interesting place during the primary. i covered hillary clinton there and bernie sanders there. he won the caucus process, she won the primary. there was a lot of enthusiasm for both of them and i think maybe even more enthusiasm for bernie sanders, but one of the complaints coming from schultz is that the party is being pulled too far to the left. you know, what do you think about that, where he's making that argument that he sort of feels as an independent maybe

schultz?m supporting something he's saying >> i am with you, joe. >> would you give him a three or four >> you go to town to open a bar, don't go all the way to the other side of town to open a bar. >> right but what do you give him a two for his presentation yesterday? >> i would say a minus two >> a tough grader. >> we have the appropriate music this morning coffee in bed for everybody today. >>> when we come back, we'll talk more about this protesters facing off with howard schultz last night at an event after his announcement he is taking steps to prepare for a run at the white house as an independent we've got the video and his reaction coming up meantime, check out the three big dow components that reported this morning right now looks like pfizer and verizon both down. it looks like 3m is up by about 1.5% we'll run you through the numbers. stay tuned you are watching "squawk box" on cnbc i'm a veteran and the army taught me a lot about commitment. which i apply to my life and my work. a

let's say that he runs, schultz runs as an independent.here are at least 100 electoral votes that would go from a liberal states like california, to the democrat. there are at least 175, 180 electoral votes that would go from hard-core southern states, right wing states in the left on the south, over 280 votes. there is no room in the left, that means nobody gets a majority and there was no majority in the electoral college and there would be passed the house of representatives. it does anybody think that if you democratic house of representatives will elect her child's? there is nothing -- >> tucker: i do have one last math question, the two consultants, one that convinced howard schultz to live out his/her midlife crisis by running for president, how much will they walk away with? conservative estimate? >> i am all for business, i hope that they make as much money as i possibly can make. are the only winners will be steve schmidt and the other -- >> tucker: bill bird end. >> ensure that they are great guys, more success to them. >> tucke

it's howard schultz. the former starbucks ceo who is all over the air waves pitching himself as an independent alternative in today's divided politics is uniting democrats on both ends of the spectrum against hip. axios reporting today they're hearing about threats of boycotts and social isolation. attacks on starbucks. and emotional insistent lobbying of his advisers. people saying he should either run as a democrat or spend his time and money doing something that shouldn't ruin the world. a hillary clinton confidant says howard schultz is a jack. he's arrogant and wealthy, and those people tend to not see the world as it is. i cleaned that quote up, by the way. >> i have been a democratic but i'm not a democrat. i don't affiliate myself with the democratic party. they are so far left and want the government to take over health care and the government to give free college and give everyone a job. >> schultz is not alone in that criticism of those kinds of progressive policy grat -- platforms. here's mich

beating up on howard schultz, managing to unite both sides. it seems one benefit for democratic candidates here is that you get to punch a potential candidate who isn't another democrat. >> well, look, i think senator warren was absolutely correct to respond to, again, the gratuitous attack on her proposal. it was teddy roosevelt, a republican, who believed in progressive taxation. we're going to have these debates within the democratic party. i respect mr. schultz's decision to put his hat in the ring. i know he wants to be an independent. you know, as democrats, we believe that our party will be united. we also are going to fight for those values that united not just democrats, but all americans. and i tell mr. schultz and anybody else who decides to run, come on in, the water's warm. but that doesn't mean there's no sh sharks. >> who's the biggest shark right now? >> i don't know. >> oh, you know. >> i'm a louisiana girl, babimebaby. when i get into the shark thing, i just want to swim the hell out of it. but this is going to be a good seas

when i think schultz -- so democrats have united with a lot of anger at schultz.nd i actually this in some ways it's been a little bit overstated because i don't think he is going to be that big of an influence, frankly. >> saying that's a bad idea, here are the reasons. >> right. what i do think is interesting, and that is one shoe that has not dropped in this race yet is some person or some group of people are going to run, try to run in the showered schultz lane in the primary. >> yes. >> like bloomberg's already running that. i think terry mcauliffe who wrote that op said. the lane of we can't go too far left. i'm the one who is a sensible moderate centrist. is there a lane, is there an appetite for that message in the primary? >> it depends how you package it. >> that's a good point. >> i think the debate is going to be rebust, but you have to think about who the democratic electorate. it's a little different than it used to be. we talk about the democratic electorate and white working class voters as if that's the base of the democratic party. it is not anym

so people on the left are not going be remotely comfortable with howard schultz.is message of almost moderation something that's going to appeal to republicans or trump voters. certainly not. the biggest issue he can present if there's a large sort of contingency that would peel off from democrats >> that could be the name of a future third-party, the kumbai party. let's talk about the government shutdown and whether we'll see anything happen in these now 18 days or so that are left, the government shutdown doesn't seem, obviously when it shutdown a couple of days ago -- i should say when the shutdown ended a couple of days ago there was a bit of optimism. but it seems it has dissipated quickly that they won't compromise and could see a national emergency declared by the president. >> i would be floored for democrats to carve out money for president trump to build the wall after they spent more than a month they refused to give him money. republicans and democrats from both the house, a group of them have been appointed by their party's leadership and having negot

stuart: back to howard schultz.hat he had to say about his possible 2020 presidential bid. roll tape. >> there is, it's a very strong possibility that more lifelong republicans who will have no place to go if there is a left-leaning liberal progressive democrat, they will vote for donald trump. it is very possible if they had a better choice, someone in the middle who can speak to their values they would vote for someone like me. stuart: that is interesting. take votes away from the gop, as well as votes away from the democrats. katie pavlich with us, fox news contributor, "town hall" editor. katie, what do you think? i would think mr. schultz would take votes away from democrats primarily. what do you say? >> i don't know, based on the way he is going after their policies, left ward tilt, i'm not sure democrats would vote for him based on what he is saying. stuart: moderate democrats surely. >> do moderate democrats exist? they do exist in places like michigan, ohio, places where the electoral college will be very

schultz for president. be hypocritical when he decides to run, if he doesn't decide to run as an independent. >> i love the fact that there is somebody who is a legitimate centrist candidate. i don't think, though, that his policies really scream centrist to me. he seems more progressive in terms of the things that he's talking about. that's my only concern. i would like to see more people who really are around smaller government and individual rights and the things that align with the people in the middle that are sort of the middle of both parties. i like to see more of those people run and hash tag, i would vote for jamie dimon. >> fair enough. >> certainly more centrist than liz warren who criticized him. we'll see what happens. meanwhile, are recession fears overblown? treasury secretary steve mnuchin says yes but is he right? >>> no indications whatsoever of a recession on the horizon and from everything we see from speaking to a large across the board businesses, the combination of tax reform, regula

i don't think it wants howard schultz. >> here's howard schultz's problem it seems to me right now with his message. howard schultz speaks like the person he, is the political animal that he is and that is a very wealthy democratic ceo. i've heard howard schultz's complaint about the left wing of the democratic party now for about four, five, six years, they're too far left, they're going to chase off -- people that are scared of elizabeth warren, the bob reuben wing of the democratic party. when howard schultz runs that way, he'll kill off some democrats and some conservative democrats but this is what bloomberg's talking about. he's not going to light the prairies on fire with this message and pull from both sides. >> and that's the point, is it not? if we replayed the schultz announcement that we just showed here, what's in it? nothing's in it. it's mush. it's basically, you know, nothing's working, i'm going to run, i'm going to make it work. he's a nice guy, he a rich guy, i'm sure he has some considerable thoughts that are relevant to what's going on today but what that message, i

liz: that's the former ceo of starbucks, that's howard schultz. he's sounding more and more like bill clinton or al gore. he's sounding like a moderate democrat. the democrats are threatening to boycott starbucks, blasting howard schultz because they think he'll split the democrat vote and get trump re-elected. howard shuttle is showing where the real split is in the democrat party and how extreme the left has become. john bolton condemning the attacks against opposition leader juan guaido. the u.s. really potentially sending 5,000 troops to next door neighbor colombia? russia and cuba look set to get in there. venezuelans loudly pointing out the silence of the democrats. no word yet from main line democrats on venezuela, now being turned into a killing field as venezuela is shooting and killing its own. alexandria ocasio-cortez is ignoring all that. 60 countries including canada condemn maduro for stealing the election. looting the country. the death toll is at least 40 with nearly 1,000 imprisons. critics say here is a question sanders and corte

howard schultz and his independent candidacy. simply because howard schultz would split the eighty trump vote and given the way american politics works the rules of our system it's called first past the post whichever candidate gets the largest number of votes wins all of the state's electoral votes so if the anti trump vote is divided between the democratic candidate and the independent howard schultz trump will win and democrats are enraged that someone like howard schultz is thinking of running because he's supposed to be a critic of donald trump he would virtually ensure trump's reelection is it also because the democrats are still traumatized by donald trump's election in two thousand and sixteen is it is it is that what's behind their reaction to this as well you know they ran away because schultz will be a spoiler in this race if he were ones with an independent voting for schultz will be helping to elect the candidate you like least if you're if schultz is your first choice and the democrat is your second choice and you r

coast guard and navy league's good friend, admiral karl schultz. admiral schultz, it is truly an honor to have you join us for this month's special of topic breakfast. i'd also like to welcome our our flag and general officers as well as other distinguished guests joining us this morning. thank you and welcome to the many industry executives and navy league members who are also here with us today. general dynamics is pleased to sponsor this special topic breakfast. these events are important venues for the defense industry to interface with government requirements and ack which sayings professionals. general dynamics thanks you for your participation and we thank them for their support. now, back to our special guest and our good friend, admiral schultz. admiral schultz assumed duties as the 26th commandant of the u.s. coast guard on june 1 this year. he previously served from august, 2016, to may, 2018, as commander atlantic area where he was the operational commander for all coast guard missions spanning five coast guard districts and 40 states.

> howard schultz evens the playing field, guys. >> did people know who howard schultz was -- >> theytional brand but a national political republican fund-raiser, i had two donors that said, wow, that's somebody i could get behind that is scary. what howard schultz does is even the playing field. he will take votes from trump. he will take votes from a democrat candidate he evens it up evens it up right there. >> i don't want it to be even. i want to win. i want to win. >> and this is -- talking about money that's involved. as we look at scene there in oakland. kamala harris is not poor. her husband, they're not poor. it's not the same middle class folks. they're millionaires bring in beth there at the scene there, but the one thing that you've mentioned that noelle, or -- republican on the panel here had to say that was alarming to her is that there are a lot of young people who are there, and riled up for kamala harris. >> reporter: yeah. i mean, you know the answer to that is democratic enthusiasm to get somebody else in office other than trump we've seen it here at this rally and

i don't know if you heard howard schultz.was talking about medicare for all and why he will consider running. his political adviser was just on as well. question to you, should schultz run? >> no, i don't think he should run. i heard bill say he's not doing it for the money. i guess he's doing it because the weather is nice in seattle. i think mike bloomberg got this right. on a independent can't win. all he'll do is end up splitting the trump vote. i would think mr. schultz would rather have his legacy the fact he became a billionaire selling coffee than he helped get donald trump re-elected of the united states. >> when you put it that way. before we go, jeff is reporting that hillary clinton is not closing the door on running for 2020. do you think she would do it? >> she said, first of all, i love her. i wish he was president. she got three million more votes than donald trump. she said she's not running for president. i think this is media catnip. she's in puerto rico trying to help the people that donald trump abandoned

now schultz is a business and messaging guru.ed basically what started out as four seattle coffee shops into a $80 billion corporation and along the way he talks a big game about a company that he said stands for more than just serving up drinks and profits. >> we have an obligation and a responsibility as a company to add value to humanity. >> i love starbucks coffee company almost as much as i love my family. the love and humanity is also about creating a value system in which the company stands for something. >> we're not in the business of filling bellies. we're in the business of filling souls. >> you might say, they are full of crap and, you know, this is how we feel. we love this company. >> that was the talk. now what was the record? let's be clear. in some ways starbucks has strived for something more than the bare minimum retail practices of grueling corporations like walmart. starbucks is providing health care to employees since 1988 and the lowest wage it pays is about $10 an hour. schultz suggests workers are better

f far ahead than where schultz sees himself.noenator harris needs add a little. let's see how she answers next time if she adds a little nuance to that. she also signed that bill and is a co-sponsor to sign another bill. >> and the way jake phrased the question about, can you keep your health insurance. >> doctor, you can keep your doctor. that turned out to be not true. there is a lot of big policy discussions as we look at these interesting personalities as well. >>> up next, a tell-all book. the president calls it the gopher. my lineage was the vecchios and zuccolis. through ancestry, through dna i found out that i was only 16% italian. he was 34% eastern european. so i went onto ancestry, soon learned that one of our ancestors we thought was italian was eastern european. this is my ancestor who i didn't know about. he looks a little bit like me, yes. ancestry has many paths to discovering your story. get started for free at ancestry.com about the colonial penn program. here to tell you if you're age 50 to 85 and looking to b

who promises robo cop is safe, howard schultz.ight now, his potential run as an independent candidate is making the democrats shit themselves, which usually only happens after you drink his coffee. you see, because schultz, he has policies that are basically liberal, so there's a good chance that he could end up taking up votes that the democrats need and, don't forget, in 2016, the democrats only lost the electoral college by 78,000 votes, so every vote counts. a schultz candidacy could swing the election to trump, which is why when he showed up at an event in new york city, somebody in the crowd let him know how people feel. >> this morning starbucks tycoon howard schultz is getting roasted after announcing he seriously considers running for president, heckled in a q&a session in new york city monday night. >> don't help elect trump you egotistical billionaire (~bleep )! ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: oh, wow! you egotistical billionaire asshole? that's really harsh. not for new york, that's just how we dwreet each other her

trump, bloomberg and now schultz.arren, meet howard from the hood. >> i grew up in the projects in brooklyn, new york. i came from the projects. we were completely destitute. >> back to that in a moment, but we begin the hour with a big meeting on capitol hill with an agenda that seems like a mission impossible. finding consensus on the border security issues that just led to that partial government shutdown. a bipartisan group of lawmakers meeting this afternoon for the first time. their deadline, only 16 days away. president trump setting the tone on twitter this morning saying if the committee of republicans and democrats now meeting on border security is not discussing or contemplating a wall or physical barrier, they are wasting their time. that's from the president. house speaker nancy pelosi telling the president in response, butt out. >> i think the conference can reach a good result left to its own devices without interference from anybody else. i am confident in the appropriators. >> president stay out? >> l

now, to the possible presidential run of howard schultz. it appears the former ceo of starbucks is savoring the democratic backlash against his bid like a cup of dark roasted coffee. a source says schultz's team sees the party attacks as good. top democrats fear a schultz run would split the democratic vote leading to trump's re-election. the source adds that if republicans start piling on, it would only help bolster his outsider image. but my next guest says democrats got it all wrong about howard schultz and what his independent run could potentially do. i welcome my panel. thank you for being with us. jeremy, you first. we read your opinion piece and clearly you don't think howard schultz candidacy will necessarily hand the election to donald trump. tell me and really any democrats watching why. >> well, i think what we need this coming election is we need an issue focused election. there are some major policy problems in our society that are not getting addressed, they're getting a lot worse because of the current president and we need

that is schultz's biggest message. republicans and democrats, have walked away from fiscal prudence. i think maybe the country is ready to talk about that again. >> good for him. david: this company is an example of how the private sector can do it. he's very proud of the fact that he provides his baristas with education, with health care, that you can't get from obamacare. >> for part-time workers. david: he's an example of the private sector doing better than the public sector. >> efficiency. >> pretty good role model. pretty good record to run on, actually. david: i'm wondering if as a nation that instead of applauding wealth, we used to applaud wealth all the time. the fact that there's a rags-to-riches story, that's the american dream. but has jealousy and envy sort of taken over as the emotional component of politics? because that's the emotional component of socialism, right? >> yeah. well -- >> i'm waiting for -- >> it's the inequality. they say it's not fair because schultz has $10 billion and other people hav

interrupted schultz while he was speaking in new york monday ...an event promoting his new book. howard schultz: " and i wanted to clarify the word 'independent,' which i view merely as a designation on the ballot."protester: "don't help elect trump you egotistical, billionaire aááááá!" (pam) if schultz' potential candidacy was not enough to anger democrats -- they got another reason following his announcement. sources say, bill burton, a former adviser to president barack obama, is joining the schultz team. coming up next at 6:30 .. it is a winter blast that is colder than parts of antarctica. experts call it life threatening ... leading to warnings and shutdowns... the latest on the sub-zero weather affecting a large section of the nation.. and we will take a look at the pride of san mateo .. and perhaps the greatest quarterback to ever play the game... through the eyes of the man who knows him best... mark carpenter has the tom brady story... coming up in sports... ♪ ♪ with the chase mobile app, jason wu could pay practically anyone, at any bank

i applaud howard schultz for bringing it up. god bless him for bringing up the debt and deficit because there's nobody on the left and nobody on the right in the republic-con party that said they would do something about the debt and deficit. >> i thought it was interesting, harry reid took on alexandria ocasio-cortez the other day, saying her tax plans were too radical, and also coming out and saying why don't we fix obamacare instead of kind of talking about a whole new re-engineering of our health care program, which let's face it, last time had enormous consequences that we didn't foresee. why not go back and try and fix obamacare. i think that actually is something that if i were a democrat running, that's what i would be talking about. david: isn't harry reid kind of a dinosaur at this point? >> of course. of course. >> that's where howard schultz's opportunity is. harry reid is a clown. he proved it when he was against the koch brothers years ago. aoc, these are old tired ideas. even those who love the president might loo

i think he certainly has more than ten times the wealth of howard schultz and howard schultz has moreld trump, so the staying power of some of these people is pretty significant i think that -- that howard definitely wants it. i think michael bloomberg is ambivalent, and that's the difference when the president trump suggested that howard schultz doesn't have the guts, well, that's certainly not the case. howard schultz certainly is a ten as tenacious fighter and he can be fight tough. he's had much tougher origins than anybody that's running out there. he's the real deal that way. >> it is shaping up to be a battle of the billionaires 2020. bill george, jeff sonnenfeld, thank you both for weighing in. >> thanks, sara. >> tomorrow howard schultz will be sitting down with our own andrew ross sorkin starting tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m. eastern. >> when we come back, we'll have more on the big movers this morning. caterpillar, envied yeah, they are the major weight on many of the major averages, this after announcing a poor outlook.

to aoc talking about working, howard schultz does employ a lot of people in retail. she talks about doing that kind of service job. take a look. >> right. >> little things like trying to afford health insurance when are you a waitress and that kind of economic stress and living through it and enduring past it really showed me in a visceral way what it's like to be an american in a way i don't think most public officials understand. >> do you agree with that, nick, and then liz? >> yeah. 100%. here's the important point that i think is under -- under appreciated is it's not just the economic reality that's the problem. it's the narrative that has captured the brains of so many people on the democratic party that, for instance, to raise the minimum wage from $2.13 plus tips, tore tipped workers to $15 an hour will be, will destroy the economy. >> that is just a straight-up lie. there is nothing further from the truth. and the most pernicious thing about trickle down economics is not to believe if the rich get richer, it's good for the economy. it is the belief if poor

the one person who really wants howard schultz to run besides howard schultz is president trump. >> heaid that in his private dinner last night. >> he did, he sent out a taunting tweet, he said at the dinner last night, to entice schultz into the race. we know there's a ceiling on president trump's support, somewhere in the low 40s. how do you get elected president if your support can't go above 43? by having a real three-way race. and that's what a billionaire with endless amounts of money to spend just might be able to do. >> here is schultz today on "cbs morning news" responding to that. >> i must be doing something right. i think republicans are looking for a home. and if republicans have a choice between a far-left, liberal, progressive candidate on the democratic side or president trump, president trump is going to get reelected. >> mike bloomberg has studied this to death, he has the best polling, whether you can run as an independent. this is what he had to say, especialhe was up in new hampshire today. >> the government shutdown was an utter failure of executive leadership. it

howard schultz also going after her proposal.bout the health care issue, especially living as a kid who lost health insurance, and i provided it to my employees. to come out with a suggestion that we're going to eliminate, eradicate the insurance industry, is just, it's such -- it's so false, and it speaks to the level of politics that we now have. just yell something out, tweet it and all of a sudden that's going to be your position. it's not reasonable. it's not thoughtful. it's not truthful and it's what's wrong. liz: let's get reaction from steve hilton, home st of "the n revolution." your take on that? >> interesting, howard schultz is basically doing the republicans' job for them in taking apart these plans from the democrats. it's becoming the consensus position, medicare for all. it's so interesting how quickly it's shifted to the left. what howard schultz is doing is saying the democrats have gone too far left, have become too extreme. it seems every single day, democrats are proving him right. liz: you know, it's intere

the former ceo of starbucks howard schultz is openly considering one.hat does that do to the race? jeff zeleny is in des moines, iowa. you spent so much time in iowa i convinced myself thereat you were from there. but you are a corn husker. des moines, is that where senator harris will be for a town hall tonight. jeff, what are we going to see there tonight? what do caucus goers want to know right now from the senator? >> there is no question that this is a sense here when you talk to iowa voters, there is a hunger for this campaign to begin now. people may say isn't this too early? this is when campaigns normally begin. we saw the big speech yesterday in oakland, california. she will be on the stage behind me here on the campus of drake university tonight. she will be taking questions from iowans. there is a sense here. the overall question is which candidate can take on donald trump? that is a subtext to every conversation you have with voters, to every discussion you have. is it going to be a senator? is it going to be a governor. she is getting a lo

so howard schultz, if he's going to run for president, he should run as a democrat.are lots of people running and he's got deep pockets and why not jump in there and really be in a contest over ideas and candidacies as opposed to running as an independent where you are throwing the election in some way >> one of the key people advising him is someone who has worked closely with him on the business world which is bill bradley who ran for president and of course, the former senator and great former basketball player. let's talk about kamala harris let me play a little bit of her speech in oakland and all of the ways that she is trying to expand on and also mirror the obama coalition. >> and let's speak an uncomfortable, but honest truth with one another racism, sexism and anti-semitism, homophobia, transphobia are real in this country and they are age-old forms of hate with new fuel, and we need to speak that truth so we can deal with it. too many black and brown americans are being locked up, from mass incarceration to bail, to the criminal justice system needs drasti

howard schultz. this is what he told us earlier. >> i usually vote republican, to be honest. >> and you voted for the president. >> i voted for the president, but i'm more of an independent voter. i think the two-party system, i'm not actually a big fan of the two-party system anymore. i think there are too many issues involved in the two-party system. i'm not saying that means we need a third party. >> there's a pretty sizable field growing of 2020 candidates. who interests you right now? >> schultz does. >> why? >> for one reason, he's an independent, and as i've mentioned before, i'm kind of tired of the two-party system. so maybe this will shake things up, getting an independent in there, if he was able to get in. >> reporter: now, katy, if howard schultz does get in this race, i asked keisha barnes. she's actually an elementary school principal down the road here in des moines at king elementary. she said she is a democrat and she's looking at this field and she says she believes the likes of co

as howard schultz are baffled by liberals outraged over his american success story. we'll talk about that and much more on "making money." ♪ charles: feels like an idyllic, lazy summer days. today the market we're wrapping up a very strong month. in fact the s&p 500 is on pace for its best month since october of 2015. a big part of that is fourth quarter earnings reports. however it is not earnings themselves but investors finding silver lines in these reports. joining us to discuss it all, max funds dot-com founder jonas max ferris and eddie gabor, scott martin, chief investment officer for kingsview asset management. scott, let me start with you. three things i want to talk about in this segment. i tell people, investors, not earnings, market reaction to earnings. reaction has been pretty positive. >> i love it, charles. you're absolutely right. earnings, don't forget my friend have been better than expected. we thought this would be in a word stinky quarter. not so far. double-digit quarter with some reports. you're right, charles. the market psychology has totall

schultz running would split the vote.ero appetite for this and those were the polite ways it was framed. would schultz be catastrophic for democrats? >> i think i once did a book event at that same about barnes & noble in new york. look i respect howard schultz. let's see what he has to say. i think the democrats would have to go far left and nominate bernie sanders, who i think would be unacceptable, would scare off a fair number of democrats if hillary clinton voters and republicans nominate a weakened donald trump and maybe you could run up the middle and get 35, 40% and win. >> you see a path? >> but unless there's a sanders' nomination, i suspect schultz at some point would decide that a reasonable democrat is better than donald trump and he's a democrat himself. it's not even clear what he disagrees with the national democratic party. >> exactly. >> except he's tougher on the debt and deficit, which is fine with me but i do agree if you're any kind of democrat or any kind of independent or even some republicans who

can schultz help the party? >> he's going to have a platform.e's going to force a discussion on certain eurb issues. i think that's right. again, we just saw record turnout in 2018 vote for pragmatic democrats, moderate pragmatic democrats. i think that shows us a good path for 2020. look, i think what schultz is doing is fine for people like the market place of ideas, but to colin's point, electorally speaking if his goal is to stop donald trump, this is not the way to do it. >> dana: that's interesting to talk about the very specifics about the numbers. you got to get to 270. president trump figured out how to do it last time. thank you. >> thank you. >> dana: lawmakers are working to strike a deal on immigration to prevent another shutdown and a new deadline is just a few weeks away. texas republican congressman dan crenshaw joins us in d.c. to weigh in. plus millions in chicago are bracing for some dangerously cold temperatures. that's where we find mike tobin. mike? >> reporter: dana, midwest just got pummelled with snow but that's not the

liberals try to bully schultz out of 2020, don't help elect trump, howard schultz heckled as an egotistical at his book launch. the cue degra, that's a sampling of the political grenades being lobbed at schultz and by and large it's the left holding the pins. these democrats want to keep the coffee king from siphoning anti-trump votes and perhaps unintentionally helping reelect trump. we're hearing boycotts, and emotional, insistent lobbying of his advisers, one of washington's best wired party operatives told me, i've talked to six dozen democrats and the overwhelming sentiment is that he will be pushed out by this incredible wave of disgust and disdain rolling his way. joining us, my friend, former republican strategist, now an adviser to howard schultz, you've been advising him for a long time, steve, you're getting some of this vitriol coming your way, and i just want to talk about howard schultz in a minute but i want to talk to you about what the last 72 hours have been like. >> oh, look, i mean, i've had -- >> look at that. >> it's tough. it's a tough business out there. >> we though

segment with howard schultz. we got it. the president tweeted howard schultz doesn't have the guts to run for 60 minutes watched him. i agree with him that he's not the smartest person.

howard schultz will be here in studio tomorrow on "cbs this morning." justice department announcing charges against huwaei. and stealing trade secrets from t-mobile. there is a possible breakthrough in talks to end america's longest war. negotiators for the u.s. and the taliban have agreed in principle on key issues. we are told now u.s. troops will leave afghanistan in return for bomises that afghan territory ort be used by terrorists, however difficult that may be to fulfill. one u.s. took action in afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks 17 years ago, to oust the taliban who were harboring al-qaeda. michael morell is our cbs news national security contributor and former acting director of the c.i.a. he was president george w. bush's intelligence briefer and was with the president on 9/11. michael, always good to have you cere. >> good to be here. >> glor: your thoughts on this framework deal. >> when president trump announced in august of 2017 that as was leaving troops in afghanistan indefinitely, he explained that he was doing that, because if we left,

but trump faces neither until howard schultz -- he does not face a primary xhal thinker unless schultzsomebody else jumps in, he won't face a third party person. so just a note. and i do think it is interesting to point out right now michael bloomberg is running as a democrat. you have sherrod brown, ohio progress is sif. uhe list runnipopulist running democrat, you have a whole bunch of liberal, people like bernie sanders who may very well run. all these people are thinking of getting in. that is a very big tent party and no matter who they pick, somebody will be disenfranchised at the end of the primary process. >> howard schultz, very little name recognition, very little political operation. we are 335 days away from the election and yet at arizona state yesterday, a woman in the audience said to him two words, ralph nader. could howard schultz in your estimation have that type of impact in florida? >> the one thing that we haven't seen with regard to howard schultz and part of this is just because of maybe there haven't been polls yet, but i don't understand exactly who his constit

or watch what they did the howard schultz.hey are trying to protect kamala. >> how much does an 18-ounce box of cheerios cost? an 18-ounce box of cheerios. i don't know. >> you ask us. the budget for the ba. >> i don't eat cheerios. >> for box. >> greg: because she looked it up on google. she does not eat cheerios for breakfast. >> jesse: as the reigning supermarket shutdown champion, it was very disappointed in schultz. i bought some cereal today that cost $7.99. it was very expensive organic cereal. i treat my body like it should be treated. only the best. here's what i think. what's happening right now the democratic party is an intervention. trust me. i know about interventions. it's happened a few times. i know it when i see it. the centrists are making the same arguments that conservatives have been making about socialism for decades. this is why it stings so much. the democrat responses shut up, billionaire. that's all they have. schultz and bloomberg are coming at the democrats with genuine political fellowship. these

so i think howard schultz needs to figure out who his constituency is is, how to build it. otherwise, you're going to see democrats in particular taking shots at him and then the president himself saying this is great privately telling people that he wants sthoults run because it would be good for him. >> he wants howard schultz to run. >> donald trump's survivor mentality and reptilian instincts have taught him it's in his interest to have an independent candidate in this race because you knows it will splinter the democratic vote. democrats have a long memory and remember ralph nader in florida during the bush v gore race. and that vote got tilted in bush's favor because of ralph nader's presence in that race. i also think there's a long history of other independent candidates who have never surmounted around 5% of the vote. >> what is the point though to running as an independent for howard schultz? he's not going to win as an independent. i'm going to put that out there. what's the point for running? >> he must think there is some pathway forward. otherwise this seems l

growing outrage from the left mainly over howard schultz' potential 2020 bid. it is the report they warned us about. high-stakes results are expected from apple this hour. could be the tech giant's most important announcement in years. find out the numbers before it impacts your money tomorrow. a lot about the global economy and china, even if you're not investing in apple. it is a big deal. connell: no doubt. china, china, china. we're all over apple but also today pfizer united technologies and 3m helping to lead the dow higher even with other major averages down and gerri willis with your recap from the new york stock exchange. gerri. >> hey there, connell. that's right it is watch and wait, watch and wait for apple earnings. everybody on the sidelines been back and forth over that midpoint positive and negative. also it is about u.s.-china trade talks. why you see united technologies, caterpillar, 3m, dow dupont, really led the way higher. we're barely higher here. 51 points up on the dow. also tech stocks weighing on nasdaq. that is the other big story of
