have you seen ge, mcdonald's and microsoft? microsoft in particular soaring on strong earnings. apple is seeing some violent swings lately. is that is a sell signal ahead of the charts? >> one of the strongest analysts on the street, jp morgan whether the bounce is for real. >>> lots to trade in today's show. let's get to the start. the gains we were seeing. you love mcdonald's, i don't mean the food but the stock. >> i love the food and the stock. so i'll be specific that way and this is one michelle, that obviously, we talked about last night, as far a little plead through from chipotle. their international sales were

you can't deliver, and you outsource all your good jobs, you have ge which is celebrated in two out ofthree jobs -- you look at apple. don't create jobs here they create them in china. and you're creating a prescription for disas netter country of a kind we've never imagined. we're in an unstable situation. i'm worried about the country. i think we have to address that behavior. not that the guy here has, but a failure of or our system to function. our political system which was the greatest contribution to the world. it has been bought, sold, and corrupted beyond recognition. [applause] [laughter] >> thought amy had something lined up. can i ask, i wanted to go back to something you said earlier when you were making your opening remarks. you talked about disaster porn in passing. i'm wondering for you can revisit that and tell us what you were talking about particularly. >> i will first, i wanted to say what bob was discussing. that the one thing that will be regulated where they will find means to regulate things, the internet. the deregulation. that will apply to the internet. yeah,

ultimately, they may be acquired which is not what you have withing mcdonald's or starbucks. i gave you a choice, mcdonald's, ge and mcdonald's. you all the wanted to talk mcdonald's. >> we're starving. >> it's lunchtime. >> those smoothies, that's a high-end product that works for starbucks. the mark-up on that -- >> they're only charging a buck on the burger. >> in some places. >> apple has been the stock to watch this week. seesawing between gains and losses over the last four sessions, is this company in midst of healthy correction or a breakdown? chris, what does the chart say? first of all, when we see so much volatility in the intersession, is that a bad sign for mcdonald's. >> what the apple's message right now it's taking a pause. the level of assent has been too fast too far. when we look at an apple chart, three four years, what we see off the '09 levels, a healthy rate of ascent. they can't be sustained right here. we think it pauses. we think it puts in a pretty good base right there before resuming the next leg up. expect maybe two, three months of consolidation. >> what about technology overall?

you also do not have ge growth. >> 80% in the reduduction o of unemploymentnt since the recession ganhe most s successful jojobs program -- they really do not want a job. >> what should washington do? >> they need to drill foril and need to do something about trade with china. you can decrease gdp by half trillion dollars a and create 500,000 jobs. mr. obama talks a lot about those things. looking at mitt r romn' advisers, i am aery skeptical guy. >> these are long-te policies that peter is talking about. nono president c can turn things around with the flip of a switch. tim geithner and bill clilinton will be e in china to discuss these economic issues. >>>> they have beediscusussing these issues now through three presidents. therneeds to be a differerent approach. what is the defifinition of insaninity? >> that said, there is nono guarantee thamitt romney's solution is going to address these problems in a wa that is productive. >> i think if you lifted the ba on drilling inhe gululf, you would get a dramatic infrastructurere program that would create a lot of jobs. if you put a tax

not -- we have not been able to get the congress to pass the state, the bill governing federal employees and large corporations like ge. and until that happens, they stand outside. so if you work for one of those, if you have the misfortune to work for my old company, ge, and the people next door working for a company with only 100 employees, they will have coverage in those states, those 30 states, which are 70% of our nation's population. so there's a real inequity here. it was never supposed to be that way. they should have come along, but we're still trying to get that fixed. >> so i wonder, suzanne, if you think this study will in large part kind of help congress become more involved. and you know, if you can comment on that. and also give me an idea, what was it like for the family when christian was first diagnosed? what was the biggest challenge for your family? first on congress and then second on that big challenge. >> well, i hope that congress will listen to the young people of the nation. as you know, we have a light it up blue campaign. and this year we went around to the college and the universities and we have hundreds participates in the light it up blue.

now the times you need to put into place and infrastructure that would allow people to be able to submit this data. right now, we have a lot of city information from ge special communities and others. apps are putting social and local information out there as well. digital globes are allowing people to get into three- dimensional environments and view cities as well. going one step beyond this, the building industry is working on building information models. they are creating detailed models of the buildings and structures going into cities. what i would like to point out is that your city is becoming a three the model. there are open standards in place. like the web, this will allow people to build these digital cities. from this, the possibilities are limitless. everything from simulations to showing people where they could film, and proposed parks and these sorts of things. people are going to be affected by that and can give feedback. president chiu: thank you very much. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i have come today to thank you for seven years of support for poems under the dome. it is friday, april 27. in honor of national poetry month, i

ge profile. composting is a great strategy for getting things out of landfills and using material and materials that we have productively. if you can shorten the distance between where their food comes from to your plate, you have eliminated an enormous amount of waste. look at what happened with roadside litter. all of a sudden, we collectively as a society decided that enough was enough and change their behaviors. these are individuals that stopped throwing stuff out of their car windows. we took collective action. that was a good way to modify our behavior. this is the one big social thing that anybody can really do something meaningful about. right in their own homes. when they go out shopping. when they decide to choose a farmers market over a heavily packed store like trader joe's or whatnot. it doesn't take a pack. you don't have to be a good great big corporation. you don't need a power plant plants do that and make those changes. it is the opposite. it is not wasting by 1000 small acts. i think i can work better than waiting for the big thing to come to save us. >> one more question. >> i'm old enough to remember when

now the times you need to put into place and infrastructure that would allow people to be able to submit this data. right now, we have a lot of city information from ge special communities and others. apps are putting social and local information out there as well. digital globes are allowing people to get into three- dimensional environments and view cities as well. going one step beyond this, the building industry is working on building information models. they are creating detailed models of the buildings and structures going into cities. what i would like to point

ge addressed that were holding people back. i'll go back to the transportation example. you may haven equal opportunity employer, but if our investment in transportation doesn't get you a bus route to that job, it's not a real chance. we may say that yeah, you can go to any college in the nation, but if you happen to be black or latino and you grow up in an inner city community, the schools that you have gone to aren't going to really prepare you to be able to go to those colleges. not in huge numbers. that's not really a chance. equity tries to move beyond just saying we've achieved equal opportunity and ask, what do we want people to achieve? reach their full potential. and then back into what that will take. so that equity says, if you want people to be able to go to any school they want to to be able to do well and to move forward, we have to make sure that we are really investing in the educational system. we're not just asking whether all the schools are open the same amount of time during the year, whether they have the same books, they're using the same curriculum. we want to

unless you know they have a weapon, you know they are aimint theyyou know if they've killed someone or i should say they are in the action. so given the rules of engagement, i just couldn'tso ge shoot someone that looks suspicious. so i need the best thing to do d this to yell at him to get outsi of his car. get out so as i said a subpoena from hii left shoulder kind of facing hir vehicle, had metal basically up to my neck, i was inside the stryker standing up. i still had my m-4, my oakley m frames on, i was looking cool. had my kevlar on. doing everything that i was supposed to do. looked at him and said, hey, get out of your vehicle. and i knew he heard me because he looked over his shoulder straight at me and raised his hands off the steering wheel and then put 'em back down. nothing happened. i was like, okay, well, maybe he understood or maybe he's saying i don't know where i am, i'm lost. i didn't know. so i yelled at him again. he raised his hands up again off the steering wheel and shook his hands no and let his foot off the brake. i then had to make a decision. so i shot two rounds in front of his vehicle with my m4 and, boom, my world went black. i woke up a week o

have such a disruptive tax code. >> no one believes you. if you go to the huff post, you'll see gexxon, all these companies -- >> are those just outliers or companies that have losses that can carry forward on this? and i guess the biggest problem with our tax code is that unless you're a big company, you can't find loopholes around this will stuff anyway. >> exactly. there are millions of companies affected by the c corp tax rate and they're all -- not all general electric. look, every tax code is complicated, but the reality is that every other country in the world, all the members of the so-called oecd countries, that's 34 countries, every owoone of t has cut its corporate tax rate part of a worldwide wave of lower rates that have changed the complexion of the international economy and made it so that by one measure, the u.s. has lost about 25% of its leadership among the top 500 corporations in the world. >> two questions. one, when you say that the average effective rate in other countries is in the low 20s or even high teens, therefore if we were to lower our rates to name yo

have to slow you down. with better car replacement available only with liberty mutual auto insurance, if your car's totaled, we gensibility. what's your policy? >>> hi, everyone. the "news nation" is following breaking news in the

lobbying power in washington so if you are ge and you hire hundreds of lobbyists and so forth well, you don't pay taxes. if you are a retail store, you probably do pay 35%. i haveoblem with a retail stores paying 35%. i just think ge ought to also. >> doesn't make it a little bit more fair? >> if you close the loopholes that are allowing this have to go on you could make close to two chilean dollars over a decade. that is a lot of money. it's more than anybody has talked about raising in taxes even by their phony baloney standards when they are cutting taxes but say they are raising taxes. way more than simpson-bowles and way more than a president has ever talked about. way more than anybody and it all comes from making these guys pay their rates that they are supposed to pay. >> in the context of the citizens united ruling by the u.s. supreme court and a number of related rulings which seem to suggest corporations get into the political game and seek election results, how realistic would it be to suggest that we are going to be able to get a tax fairness with regards to corporations? is that a political challenge more than a legislative challenge? >> how reali

you probably to pay 35%. and i have no problem with the retail stores paying 35%. i just think ge ought to also. f you didn't close the loopholes allowing this to go on, you could create close to $2 trillion over a decade. that's a lot of money. it's more than anybody is talked raising taxes, even by their phony baloney standards when they are cutting taxes, but say they are raising taxes. way more than some symbols, way more than they talk about and way more than anybody and it all comes just from each of these guys pay the rate they are supposed to pay. >> in the context of seducing united and a number of related rulings which seem to suggest corporations can get into the political game and fee collection results, how realistic is it to suggest that we are going to be able to get a tax fairness is in regards corporation? is it a political challenge within a legislative challenge click >> how realistic was that you think the ronald reagan would say a program like what i just described? is going to take some effort and leadership. we need the president of the united states to be bolder on the iss

ge, it was on every conference call. if a company signals to buy back more stock, and it's ineffective in reducing the share cap, you have to look at the share caps from year before and so on, it's all about management enrichment. they are trying to contain the damage. a lot of tech companies do it. i regard it as disgraceful. no one else thinks that, i do not care. these days if it does not indicate that it will boost the dividend on the earnings call, count me out. unless they have huge earnings power, ala apple. then i'll overlook it. we have to listen for something that the company will do differently or announce soon that is an up coming catalyst. i talk about catalysts. you need a catalyst to buy a stock. i listen to calls for not what happens but something that will happen. if i hear something that sounds like it will propel the stock in the future, i'm anxious to buy it. if someone is upset because the momentum stock funds was not satisfied, than i have my opportunity. pharmaceutical companies telegraph what is going into stage three. meaning what drugs may be in your final approval. and they tell you about expan

absolutely, because that's what's great in having a union, once you start to manufacture and produce and make a quality product, then when the time comes around and ge: or the jobs would go away? >> would have went away, i feel pretty confident in that. >> reporter: ge's ceo jeff immelt. >> i worked for ge for 23 years and ge is going to perform and we're not just going to make products for the sake of making products. we're going to make money. >> this is a good thing on a small scale. this is jobs, manufacturing jobs in america but it's all relative. keep in mind that since 2000 the united states has lost more than 5 million manufacturing jobs alone. as for what it takes to get a job at a plant like this, what i found very interesting, it's not any more just about being able to put the parts together and be on that assembly line. it's about innovation. it's about saving costs on the factory floor and that's what stood out to me, they have thousands and thousands of applications for a few money jobs they're looking for people that can raise the bar and save them costs, skilled manufacturing and christine and i always talk about it, engineers. >> lo
