emily: comparisons have been made to you and tim cook.ly also taking over from an iconic founder c.e.o., what do you make of those comparisons? >> if you write it down on a piece of paper, founder, product-oriented c.e.o. replaced by nonfounder, more business-oriented c.e.o., the comparison is perfect. if you say most of the revenue and profit of the company was generated under my watch, yes. tim's watch, yes. so those things are true. i think people are trying to extrapolate that to, and during the tenure, the new product assets weren't built. certainly in my own case i'd say, hey, we got going in the cloud, we got started in hardware and we really built our asset in machine learning and artificial intelligence. so we were building those assets. apple's a lot more secretive. i can't tell what you assets tim's building or not building. the jury's out. the jury's out on everything. the worst thing anybody ever says to me is i'm being compared to a guy who's done a great job at apple, so be it. emily: on to your second act. what do you want

he was tweeting the fact that tim cook of apple gave him a call. apple would love to bring back some of the cash it has parked outside of the united states. he's promised he would give that holiday for the repatriation of profits. >> reporter: thought it was interesting he had conversation, he said, he told "new york times" reporters with tim cook and bill gates, right? pretty big leaders in the business world. >> connell, thank you very much. connell mcshane. and again, the second that the motorcade goes out from trump, we'll take that shot. >>> from naming cabinet to outlining what he'll do first. the president-elect decided to bypass the middleman, the media and address americans directly. last night he announced in this video he plans to do a lot in his first 100 days but when he neglected to mention the mass deportation of illegal immigrants or building the wall on the border with mexico, pledging to repeal the affordable care act, that did grab a lot of attention here. when he did articulate the following he vows to renegotiate trade agreemen

and i told tim cook the greatest moment of the presidency is when apple opens factories here to make it an environment that people want to build factories. i thought as a conservative reading this "the new york times" interview, the headlines were absurd and what you expect "the new york times" to put out there. the policies i thought were very, very encouraging and very good and shows the kind of growth of donald trump into a serious conservative politician. >> we asked you for questions for the panel and got a bunch about the issue of -- well, there it is. trump considering mitt romney for secretary of state. how can you consider mitt romney when he's called you a phony, a fraud and doesn't agree with you on almost anything? james, as our state department watcher, how do you answer mr. dill? >> well, if mr. trump were committed to mitt romney as a selection for secretary of state and i think that's far from clear just yet, it would i suppose bespeak a certain magnanimity of the character on the president-elect's part and demonstrated that with the selection of nikki haley, governor

i'm sick of tim cook never receiving the benefit of the doubt at apple. when he took over, the stock was at 53 ducks. now it's at $109. 104% gain. yet cook is doubted almost constantly. he was doubted when apple was at $93, and everyone thought the new iphone would be a dud. then he was pilloried after the company reported a good quarter last week when the stock was at $115. we keep hearing apple has stopped innovating with cook. why are so many people switching to the iphone from other guys? plus he hardly gets any credit for the revenue stream. 50% plus gross margins. even when the analysts do talk about it, they talk about the service traem is accidental. cook somehow backed into. i only wish more companies could back into a $28 billion business like that. apple supplier chip company qorvo slashed its forecast badly. now, here's what you do in these situations. we did an off the charts the other night saying it could go to 102 and all bets will be off. you got to let the dust settle here before you pull the trigger if you don't own any apple. it's expe

i would think that tim cook is very smart. you know, i mean he would have something else in his pocket. i can offer you this. what about repatriation on taxes, what you do you think. >> i agree. any major american company needs to be a friend of d.c. by being a friend of d.c. in this environment is being a friend of wall street which is good for shareholders, good for board members around good for executives and employees themselves. working with in the framework being set up is very important. don't forget, you've seen the tech selloff since the election results came in. a lot of these tech companies i think will need to work within this new framework how they deal with not offshoring as much production as they did before. that will be interesting to see how it impacts earnings going forward. david: despite president-elect donald trump not being a big fan of janet yellen to put it mildly she says she is not going anywhere. >> i was confirmed by the senate to a four-year term which ends the end of january of 2018. it is my int

would you do the same thing tim cook has done? >> i think they're saying, hey, as a society, we think this discussion on safeguards is important. i don't disagree with that. >> rose: nobody disagrees with that. >> at the end of the day, we want a government that has this ability, and we trust it to use that visibility on our behalf. that's where, in order to stop innovation in biological weaponry from being turned against humanity, you really need government to have a role of trust. >> rose: to have access. now, historically, governments, you know, the f.b.i. in some cases, they haven't always earned that trust, but i claim it's important for the public to figure out what structure would put us back into a situation where the u.s. government has the safeguards so we do trust it so if the courts rule against apple on this, we're not saying that's a terrible thing. >> rose: but i want to understand what you would do. and you are as versed as anybody in this as i know. >> the only choice apple has is to wait for the higher court ruli

i think if you're, you know, tim cook, i think if, you know, are zuckerber zuckerberg, you've got to be aware you have a lot of users and people who see you as a pace setter. so you don't want to get in the way of that or alienate or risk alienating people, right? >> exactly. i think for a lot of these ceos they had a kind of momentum into, hey, i'm pro hillary, i'm a lefty, this is all good. i can hang with my hollywood friends. and then they woke up on election day and they go, oh, my god, i just realized the real president is my income statement, or at least my share price. and, wow, i better pay attention to that because it's a new world out there. and what do we have? you know, probably on facebook i'm guessing there's at least 50% of their users voted for donald trump. and listen, zuckerberg's a zillionaire now. >> well, to be fair, didn't go crazy beforehand, adam. i'll give you that. the grubhub guy was a unique ass, i don't want to put all these others in that company. we know we have certain friends in the white house i think it's fair to say if you're in the oil industry,

today apple ceo tim cook sent a memo to his employees saying that we must celebrate the diversity of our team no matter where they come from, what they look like, how they worship and who they love. most of the tech industry's high profile players stood behind hillary clinton. tonight facebook coo sheryl sandberg vowed to work harder after her defeat. america is a melting pot where women, men and people of all races, backgrounds, religions and political views build a future together she wrote in a post. ce off mark zuckerberg wrote on his page this work is bigger than any presidency and progress does not move in a straight line. >> there's a lot of shock, a lot of horror and disbelief. >> reporter: trump has inned it would make apple manufacture its -- has insisted it would make apple manufacture its iphones in the u.s. and big tech companies face certain immigration policies that could affect recruitment of top foreign talent. russell hancock is ceo of a joint venture in silicon valley. >> as a candidate trump said he wanted to return manufacturing back to american shores and that e

donald trump also said in an interview the "new york times" recently that he spoke with apple ceo tim cook bringing jobs back to the u.s. in their conversation trump told cook he wishes apple would build a big plant here. he said i think we'll create snebtives for you, and i think you're going to do it. we're going for a very large tax cut, which you'll be happy about. >> so can mr. trump really bring these jobs back to u.s. soil? let's bring in cnbc contributor jimmy p. from american enterprise institute. we've got our senior markets commentator mike san toll santo board as well. it's about taxes and regulation. if you relax both of those, is that enough to bring more jobs, a meaningful number of jobs back to the u.s. them making something and them hiring lots of people is two different things. it's been a huge distraction during this campaign that we have talked about the impact of trade and globalization. it's really to a great extent, yesterday a story. today's story and tomorrow's story is the effect of automation on the american work force. mexico versus u.s. workers. it's not a clos

will tim cook ever be able to escape it? >> well, maybe but he's got to come up with his big product and we are waiting for that one. >> let's talk -- >> i would have thought he had escaped it. >> let's talk about the id is running short. >> go ahead. >> you've called this election brexit squared? >> yeah. look. i look at this from the standpoint of business. i mean, donald trump is an interesting and confusing mix for the people who run big businesses. on the one hand, his attack on regulation is something that they support, but his attack on globalization, which was really the underpinning of the trade, on immigration, is frightening. and i think a lot of business leaders are now saying, well, what is this going to mean for this global model that we have developed? >> the markets seemed to like it. >> the markets were confused, right? they took a nose dive and then recovered. >> but then they came back. >> and ended up a little bit. we are going to just have to wait and see. i think donald trump -- we were talking about th

i imagine he told carrier exactly what he told tim cook. bring operations back to the u.s.l offer you very generous tax cuts to manufacture on shore. so half of it is this idea that you are going to get tax reform in united date. that is an extremely powerful thing. imagine if they cut the effective tax rate of s&p 500 companies from 26% to 20%? is, the u.s.ing economy is already doing very well. i just noticed this morning in terms of headlines, home prices are up 5.5% in november, year on year. a cyclical high. corporate profits up for the first time since the beginning of last year. the other one was the third quarter gdp, up to 3.2%. desley: it sounds great until you look at u.s. dollar strength and what it means for corporate earnings, and what rising rates from the federal reserve me for home mortgages. mark: you are right. these are balancing things. the economy has a wonderful way of balancing itself. if the dollar goes up too much, that detracts from producing things in america. i think it will balance out. certainly come a dollar strength is a major theme for next

i have to say real quick tim cook at apple sent a different e-mail to his pli es about unity.'s knead to be careful about what they have to say abofter t election. >> the backlash swift. we the american public give you our resignation letter as customers. >> did we do that when obama was elected? no. what is wrong with you>> double standards. unless you think and you uphold their view you are intolerant. >> way to go grub hub. even if it is being unconstitutional you pointed out the horribleness. >> we need the country to come together. >> i won't be ordering from them. what about you? >> let's go to steve doocy and talk about what's coming up on "fox & friends. >> we are ordering breakfast from grub hub? >> we want pancakes. we have thbeen talking about th all morning. i am surprised you are not wearing your name tag. >> i was making pancakes at mel's diner in florida. all of the talk is on the administration and president elect trump is lacking to pick. >> you have guests talking about that. >> we have guests who could be on the cabinet. dr. ben carson will be with us. he ha

do you call tim cook and say, listen, i'm done with you building iphones in china?'s gotten really personal with some big ceos. >> right. what you want to do is see whether the rhetoric is that very kind nice speech that he gave last night. but i will say this. the biotech stocks and a lot of them have been under tremendous pressure. that preesh's off. making them feel like they're going to have to roll back prices. so that area is interesting. remember, you're talking about people. i can get behind 35% of the s&p right here right now if i have to. that's not so bad. >> jim, great stuff. we can keep going throughout the rest of the show, but we know you have to get going, so we will let you escape. >> thank you for keeping me skeptical. thank you for keeping me skeptical every morning. thank you, guys. we'll talk to you soon. >> we'll see you on the "today" show later this morning. >> jim cramer there for us. let's get back to the political conversation. joining us is sara fagen, former senior aide to former president george w. bush. good morning. >> she's had four
