apple ceo tim cook says that we have a crisis on our hands and if we don't rein in technology's darke now, problems will soon be too big to fix. since the 2016 u.s. election, we've been aware of the danger posed by the abuse of our private data. and cook also paints a dark portrait of society riven under unbridled tech influence. so, this week, just before a spate of mail bombs unsettled america, tim cook delivered a landmark speech to the european parliament and asked what he calls a fundamental question, which is, "what kind of a world do we want to live in?" >> our own information, from the everyday to the deeply personal, is being weaponized against us with military efficiency. taken to its extreme, this process creates an enduring digital profile and lets companies know you better than you may know yourself. >> apple's extraordinary size and its global influence means that tim cook has the unique power to influence solutions, not just to privacy and surveillance challenges, but also in the wider cultural realm of gay rights, migrant rights, climate change. these were all on his

yet we are getting lectured by tim cook on what we need to do.n in cash in the bank and i don't think that's the way things ought to fly. >> i've been hoping so fervently that the republican party would change and the fact that you just got elected is evidence that it is. so thank you very'v much. congratulations. >> thank you, i look forward to it. >> instead of giving huge tax breaks, what should lawmakers be doing about their growing influence? one person who has been thinking about this for a long time and getting no credit is ralph nader. he joins us tonight.re thank you very much for coming on. the reason i want to talk to you is because i don't think you have gotten credit for being the lone voice on the left. raising concerns about the what happens when you say that concentration of power in the tech sector. out loud? >> the congress is always ahelo bemused, and it supposedly a clean industry that has horrible pollution coming in and all the rock from when they dismantled theol stuff. they have no tech capability to ask the right question

marc: tim cook, for sure, is on the right side of history.i have pushed for a national privacy law in the united states. we have gdpr in europe. that is doing a fantastic job to protect european citizens. they have more protection and control than any other region in the world. we need that here in the united states. a lot of the privacy debates we are having right in our city, in san francisco, we wouldn't be having that if we were in paris, or london or munich. we need a national privacy law in the united states. we need that now. we need some of our great senators, and some of our great congress people, and they knew who they are, -- they know who they are to say, ok, we are , going to write this law and get this done. we've been advocating for that. right now, our data is being misused in ways we don't even understand and all of that needs to come into the light. look companies need to start to , address their core values. what is the most important thing to facebook? what is the most important thing to salesforce? for us, we know it is t

>> i would support what tim cook does.usiness. it's not an easy business. incidentally, the auto business is different. you can win in autos one year and lose the next. cheryl: basically, the oracle says that's not really a good idea. apple should not be going out there trying to buy tesla but begs the question, can a partnership be something in the future for these two companies? >> yeah, look, right now apple definitely has a plateful in terms of the challenges, in terms of iphone demand, specifically out of china, and some of the tariffs. our opinion on the auto side, we do believe a partnership with a tesla is something that's a real possibility in 2019. agreed 100% with warren, an acquisition is not something we would like but a partnership, especially next gen ev with tesla is something we continue to view as a real possibility. cheryl: it's not a bad idea considering tesla still continues to be such a fan favorite. people that own tesla love tesla. i'm not talking the stock, i'm talking the vehicle. >> that's true a

neil: tim cook is very calm, reasonable individual. very pragmatic.ckly, having reported in china and asia, there's this weirdness with the disappearance of two top canadians. these aren't just any regular schmos or whatever, not that that would matter, but they disappeared. we don't know where they are. susan: we know they are detained. neil: detained. forget the reasons why they're detained, but the move that china's making here in the middle of these ongoing trade talks, why would they risk complicating that? susan: well, i would say that, you know, it's two paths right now. we talk about this, because the trump administration is trying to cozy up to china in signing maybe a trade deal by march 1st, then they are also getting tough when it comes to national security, with the huawei cfo detention in canada on december 1st for extradition here to the u.s. because huawei and meng wanzhou being accused of evading iran sanctions. the detainment in china, i think that's more of a political play than anything else. neil: what is the response to her getti

they are attacking our core american values and we have tim tim cook lecturing us about how we are somehowane because we want to have a border security. what's inhumane as having cheap labor in china prop up our profits and telling us how we live our lives. i think it's inhumane that little girls are getting sold into the trade because we don't have border security. and they have $250 billion in cash in the bank and i don't think that's the way things ought to fly. >> i've been hoping so fervently that the republican party would change and the fact that you just got elected is evidence that it is. so thank you very much. >> instead of giving huge tax breaks, what should lawmakers be doing about their growing influence? first, who has been thinking about this for a long time and getting no credit for it of course is ralph nader. he joins us tonight. thank you very much for coming on. the reason i want to talk to you is because i don't think you have gotten credit for being the lone voice on the left. what happens when you say that out loud? >> the congress is always a bemused, and it suppos

tim cook doing the deal with google doesn't make much sense to me.nother searche operation instead of working with google. emily: om malik, never mincing words. thank you. coming up, a massive mining shuts down under way. only it is not the coal industry. how the cryptocurrency slump is shuttering digital mining operation. plus, spacex just launched its 19th launch of the year, launching 64 small spacecraft from 34 different organizations into lower orbit. all the details you need to know ahead. ♪ emily: one of the consequences of the recent route in bitcoin is well underway, and likely to have a profound effect on the leading cryptocurrency. there is a consolidation among the so-called crypto miners. they perform the calculations needed to generate the digital currency. the plunge has rendered many of them unprofitable. at least 100,000 individual miners have shut down, according to autonomous research and global advisors estimate 1.4 million servers have been unplugged since early september. next, what the new trade truce inns for the tech sectors

she said tim cook, right?ay it. ceo of apple, ceo of facebook goes and gets arrested in china, is that the saa big deal? >> it is a very big deal. huawei has been under investigation by the european allies, by australia for cyber espionage. it's interesting right after trump said we're going to have a truce now. you know, already you have this tenuous relationship, this tax at the moment. how much does this pour gasoline on the fire? >> it's a lot of kerosene on this fire. i think what you're seeing here is the struggle in the u.s. administration. there's three different factions. there's trump and what he's doing at any given moment. there's the pentagon that views china as a long-term strategic threat. and then there are the sort of doves, the folks like mnuchin and doing business with whoever they want. i think the back and forth is those camps fighting. this is an existential crisis. we're not getting offer ver it days. >> you said that before. >> i'm back. i'm going to say it again. let me hit pause on this and

thought one the stinking that came up thought one the stinking that came up is that people such as tim cookle, is one of the early risers, but he is one of the early risers, but he is one of the early risers, but he is one of the early risers and some would say that he is responsible for some of the technology that is that we are of the technology that is that we a re really of the technology that is that we are really hook. that is true. it is are really hook. that is true. it is a bizarre cycle, it is interesting. not everyone agrees that the report, some people rather wittily replying on twitter saying things like what if your definition of success includes not having to get up at four a.m.? ithink includes not having to get up at four a.m. ? i think that will be martin. please continue to keep waking up that early, it is good to have you on the programme with as. it is good to have you with us as well, thank you for the early start. we will see shortly, goodbye. —— see shortly. really ridiculous —— see you shortly. hello there. on thursday, most of the showers were across western areas,

ceo tim cook went on a charm offensive, spending the day with ivanka trump. the trip provided an opportunity for extensive conversation with and keyident's daughter advisor just before donald trump was to hold a key meeting with the chinese president in argentina at the g20. >> you have to assume that everything out of china will be tariffed. i think that on that assumption, you have to think about who has pricing power. if you look at apple and take for example the least expensive new iphone -- the 10r is 7.5% more expensive then the eight. i do think apple has pricing canr versus their peers better withstand the tariffs assuming the next round is everything coming out of china. >> let us put the potential impact aside, does the president mean it? >> absolutely. if you think about, to date, you have had multiple rounds of tariffs. one tariff in place today escalates from a 10% to a 25% tariff on january 1. at this point in time, you have to make the assumption that tariffs are real and that there is more to come. as far as what more can be tariffed, you have

i just would worry if i were tim cook thinking this may be a problem that we're shut out and this is maybe just the beginning of being shut out of the world's largest consumer market. >> well, that's the issue, is this the first step to a big blockade put on by china potentially as a response to what's going on with huawei. i think that's what apple is probably behind the scenes right now with contacts in china, because apple has gone to china, tim cook has gone to china. they have a good relationship there. so i would imagine that apple is behind those scenes right now, seeing is this one thing they're doing, is this one court, and this is kind of a tiny intermediate sized court, is this one court doing something or is this china starting a retribution period that is aimed at apple. that's the question that apple wants answered, and that's the question that actually has the biggest problem that could face apple. liz: well, let's talk about meng wanzhou. she's right now, this huawei executive who was arrested on the ground in china -- in canada, at the u.s. officials' request, she is

then over conventional religion receded and tim cook and others stepped up to fill that void.pple has a lot more power than the episcopal church ever had and much less humility and much less restraint. leaders 100 years ago could tolerate dissent. they thought god would sort it out in the end. they didn't have to. members of modern ruling class considerem themselves god. they render their own judgment... they view disagreement as equivalent to apostasy, an attack on the one true faith. in new york, to name but one example, among many, a newin bill in the state legislature would ban anyone who says something politicians don't like from buying a firearm. respective gun owners would be required to give up passwords and to show their social media accounts to regulators who would inspect them for unapproved thoughts. sound like something the chinese military thought up? yes, it does. but democrats are not apologizing for it.ew, listen to one the sponsors of the bill explain. >> if we make this law and you have to, you know, allow, you know, state government to, in fact, look at you

. >> it's tim cook's lie. >> it's in tim cook's interest to say, he's correct when he says it. >> here'sss the other aspect about this. do you believe that the social media companies can get their arms around this problem now? you seem to think it's too late? like as much as maybe they are genuinely would like to figure out how to keep these social media networks from being abused, as you have said, russia used it the exact way it was meant to be used? >> yeah, i said that yesterday in a column in the "time's" they're customers of facebook or twitter or google and youtube. i think the problem is the amount of stuff coming over these social networks or whatever, any of these digital platforms, it's so vast. you have to use a comboifgs ai, humans -- combination of ai and humans, it's global, it's different in india versus here versus venezuela. it's a massive -- it has societal impact, political impact. these are massive problems as if you took a newspaper and made it a global newspaper everybody read at once. who controls that? that's the big problem. who can be in charge of figuring this

. >> i can hear tim cook now, he has said for years that wall street just doesn't understand in re growth strategy. yes, s hardwarees are slowing down. but it's the services the ecosystem feeding the services that are the fwroegt future for the company. what do yothink about that? >> i think he is absolutely right. i thin what apple wants to be is the operating system for everything you do digitally, whether smartphone certainly as eir lead product but also as the computer, tablet, watch,tu evly your car, perhaps automated car, thermostat and smoke detector. even ifphone sales slow it's not because people are buying a differt phone or using a different operating system. they are staying in the ecosphere. creating long-term opportunities for apple products and services. >> what do you do with the stock? we just said hsbc downgraded the stock today, it took a hit. if there is this global growth with india, china, with other parts of the globe, do you add to a position here if you're a long-term in>>stor? ertainly if you are a long-term investor., you kn sales of almost every product can be

and tim cook, apple's ceo, saying "we have lost a great american. service defined. president george h.w. bush's life. he taught us all about leadership, sacrifice, and decency. we send our deepest sympathies to the bush family." we are updating our facebook and twitter feeds with the latest developments on his passing. >>> putting tesla's technologies to the test to make an arrest. police say alexander samek fell asleep behind the wheel of his tesla on a peninsula freeway. police had to pull a slow one to actually stop that high-tech car. nbc bay area's anoushah rasta has more on their very unusual arrest. >> reporter: the man in this video is taking a field sobriety test for california highway patrol officers because they say they found him sleeping in the driver's seat as his tesla model s was going 70 miles an hour on highway 101 in redwood city early friday morning. >> approximately 3:37 one of our units was driving south on the 101. >> reporter: chp says those officers couldn't get the tesla driver to pull over, so they drove in front of him and started slowing

emily: tim cook has been to washington several times and has met with the president's daughter we would apple moved production out of china, let's talk about the scenarios. where would they move it? mark: i love dan saying it's more likely we will have a man on mars than have apple move its operation out of china. malaysia, thailand, vietnam, other countries have similar labor practices and the ability to keep costs down. i don't see a time where the iphone is produced locally in the united states, but i think there will be more of it wait and see. i think apple will try to wait this one out. you see the stock price, this is a real issue and a real concern for investors. it is not real in practice yet, but it is clearly real to the market. emily: is it something that other companies could follow? mark: absolutely. we also see companies jumping ahead. gopro put out an announcement indicating they will start moving some production of their devices out of china. it clearly is having an impact industrywide. apple has enough money to wait it out, whereas a company like gopro which should pro

(ken) apple's tim cook released the following statement regarding the passing of h.w. bush...."we have lost a great american. service defined president george h.w. bush's life, and he taught all of us about leadership, sacrifice and decency. we send our deepest sympathies to the bush family." (ken) other news now.. an off duty bay area police officer stopped an armed robbery in progress. it was one of several robberies that took place this morning in vallejo.(pam) one of the incidents was caught on video... kron4's haaziq madyun has the story. you are looking at surveillance video of a bbery that took place around 7:30am friday at this chevron gas station on springs road in vallejo. this incident is one of three armed robberies in vallejo that took place in the same vicenity within a 90-minute time frame. about a half an hour before incident occurred officers responded to a man armed with a knife involved in a robbery in the 2300 block of springs road. the suspect ran into the vallejo charter school forcing it to be locked down for about an hour until police located the suspect

we have seen a much more diplomatic tim cook. is apple going to escape this one?ink so. that is why there are a lot of concerns about the smartphone market. i saw my old friends saying they think 2019 could see some growth in smartphones. modest.be you have seen a lot of challenges. apple tried in india. they have tried in other parts of the world. there are only so many people who will spend a thousand dollars for a phone and most of them have it and they don't feel the need to upgrade. emily: do you think political issues will impact the market for apple in china and india? >> one of the things bob is pointing out is they have a very fluid base of people who can afford a thousand dollars for an iphone. what we are seeing is, there is not a big one hit wonder like the iphone sitting on the horizon. it is going to be more connected devices, more products and services and more of a portfolio of services and hardware that drive their revenue and growth. thing and wet one all needed. it is harder growth. >> i completely agree. the issue is as far as the street and in

mark: this is interesting because in january, tim cook, the apple ceo, said the company would be opening a new headquarters and the new location. he said it would not be in texas more california, but in a new place. this would be a big new initiative for the company as part of bringing their money back overseas. instead, they announced they are opening a new campus, new offices, not too far away from their existing campus which is their second largest office park in the united states. it's interesting they went back on that. it's possible this is a stopgap announcement, and the real new headquarters announcement is that the later time. emily: the company has said they're looking to expand in someplace completely brand-new. 15,000 employees of the lot of employees. compare how apple has rolled us rolledhow amazon it -- amazon rolled its plans out. mark: one similarity and difference. the difference is that apple did hold a beauty contest. they didn't go to numerous cities and ask them to send them pitches. they didn't create a public process, they did not keep updating people on their pro

this is interesting because in tim cook, apple's c.e.o., specifically said the a new would be opening headquarters in a new location and he said it would not be in texas or california. will be in a new place. a big initiative for the company as part of bringing their money overseas because of the new tax plans from the trump administration but instead they up a ced they are opening new campus, some new offices, ot too far away from their existing awes campus, which is largest office park in the united states after cooperino, obviously. interesting that they went back on that or it's possible it's a stopgap announcement and headquarters announcement is perhaps related a later time. >> the company has said they are to expand in some place completely brand-new. a lot employees, that's of employees. compare how apple has rolled to how amazon rolled out its plans for hq-2 and the associated with it. >> one big similarity and one first, the big difference. apple did not hold a "beauty contest." go to numerous cities and ask them to send necessity pitches. they did not create a public proces

apple doesn't play the same game -- david: tim cook from apple wint after his buddies in silicon valley. many people thought it was a low blow on privacy issues over in europe, suggesting in fact that we should import the same rules, regs which are much tougher than we have here. >> why do you that? you have apple as i do, and i'm sure you do, it's a different system, a closed system. do they sell data third party? based on my knowledge, not to the extent. they do track a lot of customer data. so they're kind of being brought into this as well. so, again, we have calls out. i put calls into everyone ever those tech companies. they have not gotten back to us. if they do i will update it in the 3:00 hour with liz claman. we put calls into sissel lien's office and doyle and ranking dems on judiciary and commerce but have not heard back. this is story to watch. particularly an investor, at least bad publicity is coming down the pike for these companies. david: very quickly, charlie, what does your gut tell you? are we going to end up with the same kind of laws they have over there concernin

tim cook says talent isn't limited by zip code. on a promise apple made earlier this year to spread jobs over the u.s. apple already has facilities in austin. in fact, it's already the second largest apple facility outside of cupertino. apple will also open offices in culver city, seattle and san diego, among others. a number of tech companies are opening offices outside the bay area. twitter told congress he's making a concerted effort to move some tasks out of the bay area because of cost. other news, president trump says he would be willing to step in in the case of the huawei executive raesd under suspicion of selling technology to iran. it might disrupt trade talks between china and united states but it would be highly unusual for a president to step into a justice problem. after the company zte got in trouble for the same thing, president trump tweeted he was worried sanctions against the company might hurt chinese job. too many jobs in china lost, he said. this video ran on russian newscast. newscasters excited about new rus

you hear tim cook, you hear mark zuckerberg saying we need regulation.o decide what kind of regulation make sense. and i think as much as anything else we need to come together and identify those spaces where a better regulatory framework will serve the public, and by serving the public, benefit the long-term interests of the tech sector. i would absolutely start with two areas. one is questions around privacy, including facial recognition, which is in many ways fundamentally a privacy issue. and the second is the threat that we are seeing as some governments fundamentally turn tools into weapons. that is what they are doing with information technology. whether it is cyberattacks, as we've seen, or whether it is disinformation campaigns on social media. things put these together, fundamentally it calls on the tech sector to take new steps to be responsible and proactive ourselves, but it falls on governments to take new steps and for us to find a new way to work together. but we have got to get to the specifics. that is what we did yesterday. we need, i

so this is the new normalel for big tech just as in our interview with tim cook, the apple ceo, the googlee. so this is a real change in how silicone valley engages with washington. before, they tried to not engage. now, not only do they recognize that they need to be a sustained direct personal presence here and that's why you have the google ceo whos has mostly been mind the scenes on capitol hill, but they recognize that they're not talking about whether to have new laws, but what they'll be. >> mike allen, what you said. thanks, mike. we'll be reading axios a.m. in just a little bit. signup.axios.com. >> that does it for us on this wednesday morning. "morning joe" starts right

emily: tim cook has been to washington several times and he has met up with the president's daughter.tion out of china, where would they move it? >> i love the -- it is more likely we will have a man on mars than apple moving production out of china. other places are malaysia, thailand and vietnam other , countries in asia that have similar labor practices and the ability to keep costs down. i do not see a time when the iphone is produced locally in the united states. i think this'll be more of a wait and see. i think apple is going to wait this out. you see the stock price, this is a real problem, a real issue, a real concern for investors. it is not real in practice but it is clearly real for markets. emily: the ban on iphones in china right now, the result of this dispute with qualcomm, how serious is that? continueas been -- we -- from everything we see in china, it is the older version. we have yet to separate that from ios-12 from pre-ios 12. we think only about 10% to max 15% of the phones in china are impacted. qualcomm is trying to focus on the core, trying to force their han

they have never criticized jeff bezos, the richest man in the world, or apple, tim cook in google.y suck up to people in power and beat up on evangelicals, and call themselves rebels. >> and they don't seem to make the same kind of ramadan jokes. it's all bad, isn't it? i wonder why that is, tucker? >> tucker: so you mean, this community college professor, whatever this guy is is not attacking mohammed? >> no, no. this is cardboard courage. by the way, some teachers, even if you are an atheist, to go back to what heather was saying, the greatest glories of western -- music, art, architecture, painting -- were in christianity. you are cutting out botticelli and all the rest of it. >> tucker: the university ouwould not exist without it, s. >> no, from botticelli to frosty. that is the very short lead. rudolph and leonardo all gone. all got to go. >> tucker: see you! time for "final exam." can you beat the fox news panelist and recalling what just happened? how was your short-term memory? the ultimate test of the "final exam." next.ur use of depreciation. if your insurance won't repla

. >> tim cook of the federal administration. >> right, and there's been more expressions of disappointment. gee, the senate used to have the right to confirm people who were going to be attorney general of the united states, what's going on there? we'll see where it goes. maybe it's just unique to this one case, the murder of mr. khashoggi, but i think it could be a broader sense when they come back, a question of a bunch of policies in the trump administration. >> i want to show you a clip, and that's all this is, a clip of a longer speech given by pompeo in europe today. european audience talking about our place in the world and this president. we'll talk about it on the other side. >> bad actors have exploited our lack of leadership for their own game. this is the poisoned fruit of american retreat. president trump is determined to reverse that. even our european friends sometimes say we're not acting in the world's interest. this is just plain wrong. our mission is to reassert our sovereignty reform to the liberal national order, and we want our friends to help us and to exert their so

tim cook says talent not limited by zip code. austin one of the biggest tech centers outside of silicon valley. this follows up on a promise apple made this year to spread jobs all over the u.s. apple already has facilities in austin. in fact, it's already the second largest apple facility outside of cupertino. they'll build offices immediately in culver city, san diego and the other cities you see there. a number of tech companies are opening outside the bay area. jack dorsey told congress he's making a concerted effort to move some tasks out of the bay area because of cost. president trump says he would be willing to step in in the case of the huawei executive arrested under suspicion of selling american technology to iran. the arrest threatens to upset trade talks between china and the united states but it would be highly unusual for a president to jump spew a justice department case. after zte got in trouble for the same thing, president trump tweeted he was worried the sanctions against the company might hurt chinese jobs. >

it's like arresting tim cook in china. this is spooking investors.ps up the tensions in the trade war. we're coming off of that g-20 meeting in argentina with president xi and president trump and president trump came out of that saying there would be a 90-day cease-fire. now there are even more doubts than there were a few days ago that anything could get done in those few months, at least to come to some sort of settlement there, especially with the arrest of the cfo of this chinese company. >> thank you. kaitlan collins is with me now. the timing here, we know that canadian officials arrested her the very same day that trump and president xi of china sat down for that dinner at the g-20. i have to imagine that the white house was aware of this impending arrest. what have you learned? >> reporter: the white house hasn't official live ly respond any request for comment. we have from the national security adviser, john bolton. he did an interview earlier today when he was asked if he was aware of this and this was his answer. >>i is knew in advance bu

it would be the equivalent of tim cook of apple being arrested in china.e midst of sensitive negotiations. is the administration angry, frustrated, surprised that this negotiation might scuttle those negotiations? >> so, they are two separate events. the problem we have is not the events. it is the bad actions of huawei. a very large company, founded by someone from the chinese military. it is frightening that any one of those cell phones can have a listening device for the chinese government. >> they said they wouldn't carry a phone because of that concern. >> our government doesn't buy them. new zeal laand doesn't buy them more and more countries. the point is, while they are a bad actor, let's look at what the indictment says and let the justice department do its thing. it was good cooperation between the ka nad yacanadians. the timing was unusual, but the actions were legitimate. that's par for the course in terms of what the justice department does. >> give us a sense of what president trump and xi are talking about and what progress can be made in th

companies, apple is the one that doesn't participate and what's interesting, i did an interview with tim cook earlier this year and it got mark zuckerberg furious and i said what would you do if you are mark zuckerberg? and he said i wouldn't be in this position in the first place. so the business model is the problem. the business model makes this happen. >> so they have been so good at adverti advertising it, selling it, they know everything about you. doesn't that mean going to the other side of the equation, wouldn't they be able to spot bots posting things falsely. >> some people think so. they have all the information. it's so vast and they weren't paying attention. they weren't monitoring political advertising. you'd think there's a couple of things they should be paying attention to. political advertising should be one of them. they were taking a lot of money and not doing the monitoring that other people have to do. other media entities have to do. should they be obligated by the government to behave in ways that people brought phone companies into line. they brought media companies

so, here's what's coming up -- my in-depth talk with tim cook, the ceo of apple, the world's first trillion-dollarpany. in a candid conversation, we talk about his surprising support of privacy laws around the world, the responsibility s d the privilege he feels openly gay leader, and the dang posed by what he calls the data-industrial complex. plus, our michel martin talks t an amerigend, award-winning actor, writer, and director alan da, on finding meaning in a creative life well-lived. ♪ >> uniworld is a proud sponsor

that, we point out different things when both sides in terms of what mollenkopf told you and what tim cookers have said and some publicly good choice, the lawyer for the suppliers to apple was on, not our network but saying there is no settlement talks. >> it seems to calm down >> qualcomm did not yesterday talk about settlement. >> no. >> they're trying to get the injunction fi injunction fulfilled in china. >> both stocks are going down. >> i want to move over to talk about soft bank a little bit they did take their japanese, their wireless public. it did not go that well. >> not too strong a debut, of course, this is the key really in many ways, soft bank has been built on in the second ratio he lost almost all of it and then he bought motor phone business and rebuilt it and made it incredibly strong and soft bank have gone on from there and now we think of division funds and so many other things that they own this was an important flotation for them it is early trading. the levy broke at 1500 yen and there was nothing that could hold it up there >> this is disturbing because it was a l

good for canada for standing by us >> just finally if you were tim cook would you go on a journey to china right now >> today i talked to quite a number of ceos half of them are quite worried they look at what seems to be trumped up charges we saw china before had taken four executives who got fired. there were never any charges he could find a malpractice one just got released from prison it is for supposedly technology transfer it is -- i have to tell you, it's a dangerous time to travel. i'm cutting back on my own into certain places right now we have weakened leaders in both countries which is troubling he is not as strong as he was last year and same with president trump. >> okay. thank you very much. fascinating conversations. >> thank you >>> we have 17 minutes left of trade. it is an ugly looking session. we are off session lows. the low is 60 points on the dow. we are down around 2%. nasdaq down 2.9% >>> we'll look at w hofed governors are reacting we'll be right back. so a tree falls on your brand-new car and totals it. and as if that wasn't bad enough, now your insurance w

on the regulatory side notable tim cook from apple has been a big proponent of new regulation.o deliver ads, the risk is lower than other companies. connell: what is the risk for technology companies in terms of regulation. there is money of industries regulated. many more so than technology can still make money. is it a big-time risk in terms of investment you think? >> is a risk of air and it's hard to gauge. we've got two issues. time in the bottom and time in this regulatory issue. we can't time the bottom. if it's a good deal pick the stocks that are good and those that have less regulatory risk in the world got overtime. my guess is they're probably less regulatory risk than what the headlines are showing. these are big companies and a lot of these congressmen like to spout off and they do very little. connell: you're probably right about that. why have they fallen a lot in their stock price. dore, ryan tommy thank you to both of you. have a great christmas. thank you for coming on. last -- for the shopping. you better get it done if you haven't already. we talk so much a

laying on apple a down grade from hsbc and more bad news, sirius logic in the past, remember, tim cook said his supply chain is big it's complex his point, it's hard for investors to extrapolate trends, apple stock down 20% in the last three months, back to you. >> thank you, josh lipton. >>> apple is one of the biggest strategists on the dow joining us is dan ives. >> great to be here. >> since apple changed the way it wants us to look at the revenue model, there have been a lot of questions surrounding this how should we think about apple? should we think about it, let's say, on an installed base level? on the hsbc it says the installed base looks stable, there are few catalysts for further penetration. how should we think about these ins in apple's business now? >> yeah. it's a good question it's been a perfect storm ever since cook pulled the iphone houdini act. the way we view it is in an install base perspective right now he has 350 million iphones coming up for on upgrade over the next 12-to-18 months. part of why there is a fire drill in cupertino is to stipulate demand which h

more rich friends than the republicans when you look at people like bill gates, mark zuckerberg, tim cookyou could go on and on with the list. as far as the wall, the $5 billion is serious money but chump change compared to the cost. look at the money with schooling, hospital, and dependent families, it is far more than the amount of money he is asking for for a wall. i support the president. i do not always agree with him. i do not always agree with him but this is one of the issues i believe is very important. , agree with the last caller where migrants can come into work and return home. those are not a problem. the problem is the democrats simply do not want to give donald trump any victory because he won the election. host: can you hang on so i can ask you about the story out of california because you are from california. california has moved up the party primary to march 3 to get in on the early primary action because it allows early voting third -- 30 days in advance. willpeople in california cast live ballots before the iowa caucus. more people could be casting absentee ballots in

. >> this would be like if -- if tim cook happened to be on his way to china and they decided for whatever reason -- >> or the cfo. >> or they're relatives. she's the daughter of the founder. this is sending a lot of ripples through the global markets this morning. dom chu has a look at some of the big movers dom? >> i've been listening to this discussion one of the other intended or unintended consequences with this huawei news, to joe's point, how many people are out there thinking they want to buy a zte or huawei phone at this point? this could put a damp on demand for huawei, maybe that's the reason for going after huawei in this particular way, because maybe there could be security risks, maybe they're not big players on the stable front that many think they are. with all of that in mind, we talk about these foreign companies. let's bring it back down to the u.s. markets and u.s. companies. many of the stocks and companies tied more closely to china, whether that's fair or unfair on a relative basis, companies with a good amount of exposure to china are taking it on the chin. boeing i
