in other words, tim cook is a smart guy. he knows where his bread is buttered, and he knows he's going to have to get along with the president-elect. it's not suitable, it's not right for someone like him to boycott these discussions. just like it wasn't suitable if he were to boycott carl icahn. >> right. tim cook is smart in adhering to what i would call a stakeholders model. this isn't a movie like mean girls where a republican comes to your table and you say, you can't sit with us. [laughter] it's not like that at all. this is saying let's break down -- maybe tim cook's not happy that trump won the election, maybe he is. i don't think he is. but the point is, he's saying how do i take care of my shareholders, my customers, my employees and then really everyone who uses his company's products. if you work with the president, you're going to be able to make things better for employees, they're going to work better, to innovate and make great products that the consumers love. the shareholders will benefit because earnings g

we are told that elon musk and tim cook. donald trump was critical of tim cook and jeff base sill of the campaign. tim cook, he said that they need to maktheir iphones here in america. he said he was going to boycott apple. we kept on seeing those products at his campaignli rallies. he promised the american public that he would find a way to get them to move their factories to the u.s. jeff went after because he owns a washington post. he said that he was out to get him. i am not entirely sure how this meeting is going to go whether it is going to be contention. we are going to have to wait and see many of these guys and gals where supporters of hillary clinton, initially. >> most of them were. >> exactly. >> so there is some push back among the tech world about them going to see donald trump. there is an acknowledgment that donald trump is president, they'll have to work with them. they have to figure out how the relationship is going forward from where it was during the campaign and how they work together. we do not know w

apple ceo tim cook touring the floor just a few moments ago.tion, of course, touring as a private citizen. not an official capacity with apple. our bob pasani, though, did catch up with him a moment ago, and let's take a listen for what they discussed. is. >> i'm just here with my nephew and enjoying a couple of days in new york. >> do you enjoy the floor of the nyse? >> i love it. i wanted to see what you do. they're showing us what they do. >> how is business? how are you feeling? >> i can't talk about that, but it's been a great holiday. >> how about the earpods? can't get any of them in new york. >> earpods are a run-away success, and we're making them just as fast as we can. >>ive auto been wandering around like a homeless person trying to get one for the last week and a half, and they tell me february 19th. can you speed up production for us? >> i'm trying the best i can. >> a run-away success, those airpods. for the $159 price tag, you can get a fit bit, you can get an amazon echo and a lot of stuff for athat. >> it is the time of year t

liz: next up apple ceo tim cook tries to calm down his workers. why? they are upset he attended president-elect trump's tech summit. hear what mr. cook had to tell his workers, and my next guest said that meetings with the president, should not require an explain nation. after that. and the returns i gee measured in reps. competition. sometimes it's audibles. bright lights. celebrations. it's huddles. camaraderie. and games played. at td ameritrade we believe the best investments are the ones that matter most to you. liz: welcome back, it looks like apple's tim cook felt he had to explain to his employees why he attended president-elect trump's tech summit last week. saying -- the political power panel back. al. tim cook saying, you know what, if you not at the table, you're on the menu. >> he is the president election whether his employees like him or not, it too bad. it is what he needs to do is prostate best case for apple that includes participating when president invites him to talk about important issues. it is understandable why he felt the need

apple ceo, tim cook, who raised millions for hillary clinton. facebook coo, cheryl sandberg also backed hillary clinton, as did tesla and spacex founder elon musk. pointing out tech stocks have been doing pretty well since he won the election. >> you're doing well right now, and i'm very honored by the bounce. they're all talking about the bounce. so right now everyone has to like me at least a little bit. >> reporter: there was no comment from the ceos who refused to talk to the press on the way out. curiously absent from the summit, twitter. donald trump is getting closer to filling out his cabinet.

went after tim cook at apple. they thought his pop plichl was crude. trade stances were counterproductive. and now they're going to sit face-to-face and see if they can figure out something and work own and have a little straight talk with each other. >> so is today all about pragmatism on both sides or are optics important here? they're going to be photographs and donald trump probably at a table with trillions of dollars worth of market cap in termed of the heads of american technology companies. what is the impact of that? and what is the pragmatic impact of what could actually get done today? >> i think in this circumstance, optics are pragmatic. you know, he has been elected president. he's going to take the oath of office on january 20th. all this electoral college nonsense is not going to go anywhere. you'll have executives that have to deal with the white house and presidential administration. so at some point they're going to be talking and don't know whether their relationships are going to over the course of this presidency be 5:00 moanoacri

what do you ask for from a tim cook? >> well, that's the problem.hink you're starting to -- this is going to be a real test, especially for tea party republicans, who came out against the idea of interference in the free market and traditional conservatives, who have said, you shouldn't offer tim cook anything. the idea that the united states would essentially, if this were the precedent, go around paying american companies no t to move. now, again, let's remember, carrier is still moving hundreds and hundreds, maybe thousands of jobs to mexico. that is still happening. they've temporarily paid them to keep 850 jobs or so in indiana, for now, we don't know for how long. this is not a sustainable precedent. because, again, it's the stadium rule. i lived in mooiami for a long time. you have teams who say, we want a stadium or we're leaving. we're going to pick up this team and leave. that sort of extortion model is not something you want to set a precedent for american companies doing, say, give us this set of millions of dollars of tax incentives or

what is donald trump want out of tim cook? that's a good question. only donald trump knows what he wants out of that. what apple is looking for. tim cook put a strong line about kr crypto. people are very worried about this. he had his customers and these are pushing him to make it hard for people including the government. obviously, what we are seeing more and more from government and they cannot access to all of that stuff. you got a really, really big fight here over some basic civil rights issues and private issues. you have to imagine talking about that. i want to play something about donald trump's communication, director said about this meeting, take a listen. >> you got to give the president-elect trump on this reaching out and talking about jobs. that's what the focus is going to be today. we know the president-elect trump and if he has an opinion. >> who do you think he's trying to impress whom? >> i think probably trump does not care so much of what they think about him. he has been a brilliant user of social media. he's taking the tool an

the other big names all coming from silicon valley include apple ceo tim cook, facebook coo sheryl sandberg, and larry page, alphabet ceo. also hearing elon musk will be in attendance, as well, and this meeting is gaining lots of attention because the president-elect did have a bit of a rocky relationship with silicon valley on the campaign trail, trying to mend those ties. they want to talk about improvements to the job, economy, and hiring elsewhere. we know president-elect donald trump has tapped goldman sachs' number two larry kohn to be chief economic adviser and goldman sachs is planning to name david solomon and schwartz as co-replacements. guys, back to you for now. >> big day for the markets. nancy, thanks so much. >>> in the race for dnc chair, democracy for america has endorsed minnesota congressman keith ellison after receiving 87% of votes cast by members over a three-day period. the congressman has also been endorsed by several high profile democrats such as chuck schumer, elizabeth warren, and bernie sanders. at the same time, tom perez will reportedly enter the race for dnc

lauren: and bab la-- backlash, why tim cook felt he had to explain why he met for this. and a look at the potential christmas threat. >> tech titans against donald trump. apple ceo tim cook defending, defending his meeting with the president-elect, writing to his staff, quote, i've never found being on the sidelines a successful place to be. the way that you influence these issues is to be in the arena. all of this coming as ibm workers protesting cooperation with trump saying, they're quote, disappointeby the ceo's open letter to the president-elect, working with him. we have jessica tarlof, and from the weekly standard, a fox news contributor. >> hi, lauren. >> jessica, don't the ceo's like apple's know where their bread is butter? >> i think so they do. there was more to the letter than the fact this this he don't like donald trump. and they're looking at civil liberties, tasked in participating and helping to develop a muslim registry. that's a concern for all americans, this was not necessarily donald trump's most popular proposal. we remember people like paul ryan

battles between donald trump and the tech elite, like mark zuckerberg, jeff bezos, meg whitman and tim cookabbed the headlines. most of the folks who raised the big money also opposed him. but now venture capitalists are trying to find the positives in a trump presidency. they say the first benefit of a trump win, tax reform. for example, trump wants to lower the tax rate on cash stashed overseas. and silicon valley has a lot of it. that could mean companies like apple, microsoft and cisco bring money back to the u.s. and put it to work here. >> for ventuue capitalists, thas important. the public has been a disappointment for so long. >> reporter: not all of trump's tax reform is good news for vcs, though. he wants to end preferential tax treatment for carried interests, or the profit on the sale of alternative assets, which can include companies. and that could hit venture investors hard. already, some well-respected vcs are threatening to quit if trump has his way. still another area where vcs see opportunity, trump's focus on rolling back regulation. david golden says he expects to see c

tim cook, one of a number of executives to meet with trump last week says it's better to be in the game than on the sidelines. he sent a memo to apple employees explaining he'd meet with anyone. the way you influence issues is to be in the arena he says. so whether it's in this country or the european union or china or south america, we engage. >>> twitter is going to live stream the red carpet from the golden globes. in fact, it's the omt way you'll be able to see the red carpet. it's a natural fit. lots of people tweet during the golden globes. the awards ceremony itself is on nbc. that happens january 8th. tune in on twitter starting at 3:00 california time to see what the stars are wearing. >>> speaking of stars, landon dowdy joins us live from cnbc world headquarters. good morning, landon. >> hi there, scott. good morning to you. wall street will try to start the day in positive territory. futures are mixed this morning. stocks rose monday, but trading volume was light ahead of the holiday weekend. you want to look for earnings today from nike and fedex. the dow rising 39 points to

example i'm giving all day, said something tim cook should manufacture iphones in the u.s., tim cookhould put on twitter, trump doesn't understand how iphones are made, very sad, exclamation point. that is kind of mixing it up he wants to see. he is business guy. he likes scuffles. he doesn't like to be personally attacked. melissa, i'm balanced here i think he is develop actual good for the economy. a lot of his tack kicks seem -- melissa: let me push back on that a little bit. his tactics gotten attention of many different companies who immediately say, okay, his priority is to keep jobs here. i mean that is a point of information. then you could say, well if you want me to keep the jobs here is what i need to in order to get that done. you walk in with your list of things. i'm not just talking about just tax accommodation. listen, that es are the problems that we have. we're not getting workers with right skills. you need to change the visa situation. you need to make sure energy is cheap. you need this specific regulation off our back. it is negotiation with him, is it not? and y

i've talked to tim cook about this at length. >> have you been to the gigafactory?hink that's apple's position, is that you can't move to here, and yes, it would be hard to move here, but if they put a $50 tariff on every iphone coming from china and you essentially gave a 50% discount to every one made here, i'm interested to see what would happen. it could be a disaster. and that's i think the danger of trump. it's all fun right now to have everybody going to trump tower. it's great theater. it's amazing television to watch him have massa come to the lobby and say they're going to create 50,000 jobs. what if trump, who is answerable to no one, puts a $50 tariff on iphones coming from china? >> what happens when you try to create manufacturing scenarios that make no sense is what we saw with flextronics trying to build motorola's phones just back in 2014. the thing shut down in ft. worth very quickly. hopes were dashed. american workers who were told they would have these jobs ended up not having these jobs. you can't just sort off a wing and a prayer make up thing

air pods have been a great success and we're making them as as fasts we can. >> that's tim cook vacationing in the big apple and taking a tour of the new york stock exchange earlier. cook saying to cnbc's bob pisani that it's been a great holiday for the company and touting the success of its new wireless headphones, the air pods. what do you think? >> i think that mr. cook better hope he sales more than air pods in 2017. this is not a company about airpods. it is a phone company. you can say what you want about the growth of the services. you can say what you want about growth overseas. this company will trade on the refresh cycle coming in 2017 and people's expectations on it. what do you do with it? in 2017, you buy it on the dips as long as the expectations are still there that you have a good refresh cycle coming. >> how about the activation of all mobile, right? all mobile. so we're talking about the tablets and the phone and all the rest of it. apple right now is 44%. next closest is samsung at 21%. i think that gives you a little bit of a read-through. plus we're talking about the b

guys like tim cook, like jeff bezos, are looking to automate.zon supercenters, it's robots doing the jobs of people. can donald trump combat automation? can he combat robots? if we don't want to do that here, it's going to get done overseas? >> listen, i don't think anybody wants to combat automation or the progress in a global economy and a modern economy. you can study the modern economy over 120 years. what we found, as things look like they're going into automation and jobs will be lost, even in the industrial revolution, what happens is new jobs develop. what we're super concerned about is creating right tools for the american worker to retool themselves and to get retrained to rethink about the new society. so we're going to accept that there's going to be a lot of automation, but what we really want to do for people is keep as much manufacturing jobs as possible, win those back that we lost. but then also, recognize as a society is transitioning into automation, let's put the tools on the table for people so they can learn again. this is

nicole: tim cook is now speaking out at his appearance at trump tower last week defending his spendingith president-elect donald trump. cook told applemployees the only way to influence them is to engage in. the apple ceo writing on a message board. personally i've never found being on the sideline a successful place to be. lauren: one of the largest five cases since ernie made off executives have been charged in what they say was a billion dollars fraud. six others were arrested yesterday. they were accused of inflating the book value other profitable oil product to make a performance that matter. the thunderbird 17% average gain through last year. federal prosecutors say it was ultimately exposed to have no more value than a tarnished piece of metal. dallas end quote. nicole: book is not to watch today could become better perspire earnings-per-share compared to a year ago. investors listing for how fedex's handling majors are just people are shopping online. the stock has hit all-time highs this december and also adding thousands of workers. nike will also release its latest quarterl

tell us about this tim cook story.g to talk to the butchers of beijing for year now. why is this such a shock that he actually would talk to a president-elect? >> well, in my twisted mind, sort of, i get the idea that some of the tech executives wept back after the meeting, went back to their corporation, and people were like, how could you? how could you meet with that man? tim cook said, listen, he found it's better to be on inside than the outside. he wants to engage. why wouldn't you want to engage? i think the question to anybody would be why wouldn't you ceo meet with donald trump? >> were they upset? were his employees upset? >> somebody felt to need to post something to explain why he went to the meeting that you're seeing now. >> they had bad blood, too, tim cook and the president-elect over cooperating, apple cooperating, trump wanted apple to cooperate with the fbi over encryption. they did not. so it seemed like he wanted -- >> open the iphone. didn't donald say i would make apple open that iphone. >> san b

i think tim cook, he was right about that. protecting the companies. >> silicon valley hates donald trump. so it will be hard for them to mask their loathing of him. you think new york city is progressive and left wing and liberal and crying over hillary? silicon valley is a cauldron of anti-trump sentiment. i had people on my facebook wall saying you are killing my children in you vote for trump. he will destroy the future of america. so they have been living in this bubble. the irony of ironies is the tech companies make money by disrupting the future. house the greatest disrupter of all, donald trump. what's interesting is google put out a want ad look for someone to do conservative outreach in washington, d.c., the job title is conservative outreach and public policy partnerships because these technology companies have had a free ride and open door policy to the white house for 8 years and they got whatever they wanted. kennedy: they are all part of the same bubble. and they don't realize there are a lot of people who thin

executives expected apple ceo tim cook. it will center on bringing jobs to the u.s.ining us right now as a ceo and founder of the former president of buzz feed. john, good to see. so most of silicon valley did not support donald trump. they were clearly and vocally on hillary clinton's team. what do you think comes out of this meeting today. >> the first thing i saw this and i that i want to do this meeting. when i heard they were having a tech summit i thought it was good to be all startup people i didn't realize it was a fortune $500 billion ceo. what i think is can come out of this. he's gonna go in there and he's can tweet out something off the record and he will tweet out something about tim cook this and i think kelly and conway has taught us anything he likes people to fight without personally attacking him. whatever he does tim cook should tweet out donald trump does understand how i find is manufactured he likes that. don't personally attack him. all of this is going in donald trump's favor. she doesn't get to trump tower and she announces we can organ at 25

tim cook in particular. a value-driven person. think it is good for people to talk rather than talk about each other. emily: do you have concerns about trump in the oval office? bill: i think it is a wake-up call for a lot of people, especially in silicon valley who for once did not get what they wanted and to stop referring to the rest of the country as flyover country. there are a lot of things going on that silicon valley has been out of touch with. emily: do you have any concerns about the future of silicon valley under donald trump? bill: i have concerns that are different from those. we were talking earlier. i learned that 62 people in the world control as much wealth as the poorest 4 billion. that is stunning. they could fit in this room and i probably know half of them. that is down from almost 400 people six years ago. i think there are real problems to talk about that are different whether than silicon valley will get along with the president. emily: you are a close friend with peter thiel, who was the lone silicon valle

he won't go after jeff bezos for what he calls antitrust issues, or tim cook, making him create moreobs, iphones in the u.s. and those specific targets he called out in the campaign? >> i think it's going to be circumstantial. donald trump has said that he is a counterpuncher. not somebody who initiates fights but responds strongly to being attacked by others. he has also said, we've seen this in the rallies he's had, he will make fun of things that he himself said during the campaign. for example, there was a rally the other day where some of his supporters started saying lock her up. his response was, with respect to hillary clinton, yeah, that sounded good in the campaign, but we don't care about that now. there will be some things on which donald trump simply says, well, that was campaign stuff. i'm not doing it but it will depend on the particular issues. the rubber will hit the road when policy issues begin to get decided. for example, his attorney general choice, jeff sessions, has been sharply critical of the h1 h1bv visa program. there's no reason to fight about that now bec

president-elect set to meet with tim cook, sheryl sandberg, jeff bezos and others.l gates joining "squawk" this morning. listen to what he told our becky quick about expectations from the trump team. >> i think there's a lot of fascination to see what the new directions will be. donald trump was elected not so much for specific policies, but because the kind of leadership those voters wanted. so, he has a lot of flexibility on which issues he really goes after. and so that's why i think a dialogue now, you know, what are the positive things for america that he's thinking and who can help out with that? >> for more on the trump economic and business agenda, we're joined from washington by the president and former bane capital founding partner and author of the "new york times" best seller "the upside of inequality." good to talk to you both. we talked several times about whether or not a 4% number on our economy is doable. do these appointments feed your faith that it is? >> i do believe there's a way you can do it. i'm not sure these -- i'm satisfied with these appo

we are talking people like tim cook, sheryl sandberg, elon musk, jeff bezos among the many coming to trump tower today. notably one name you will not see on the list, you will not see the twitter ceo on the list. not invited to this meeting and will not attend. notably, many of the ceos coming to the meeting today were very vocal on the campaign against donald trump. we know on the agenda will be jobs. one thing also in the mix is a briefing that donald trump has now received from his incoming national security adviser, michael flynn. you may recall, carol, that it was reported that trump was only on average receiving one of these pdbs, presidential daily intelligence briefings, per week. now we know according to transition officials that michael flynn is indeed himself getting one of these each day and now he's giving president-elect donald trump one three times a week. carol? >> sunlen, i also understand there's news of donald trump jr. and his involvement in naming picks for trump's cabinet. can you get into that for us? >> reporter: yeah. this really speaks to the continued close

alphabet, larry page lobbying for privacy and law enforcement access to data, tim cook, you remember, he wouldn't support due to the rnc, now they're meeting face to face. trump also called for an iphone boycott because of the company refused to unlock san bernardino shooter's phone. facebook ceo sheryl sandberg, she's going to be there, cyber security, data, all that kind of stuff. charles, what is this meeting like? >> well here's the thing, both sides have an agenda. shared agenda that we didn't mention and dove tails what lance was talking about. foreign workers, visas -- by the way, she wrote a letter to donald trump as soon as he won. and it was sort of a reiteration that the op-ed was saying that hey, we're going to spend a billion dollars training our people over the next four years. wink, wink, we need you to do the same sort of thing because there are 500,000 jobs out there that need to be filled immediately. but while we wait, we probably would need -- if you don't mind, us to bring in more foreign workers, but we're going to hire 25,000 workers on our own, but we just don'
