After the analyst said five days in a row thats nice but lets cut our price target. Ge is too risky for their taste. President trump is ready to appeal to the American Farmer. The American Farmer may not like. The fate of nafta with canada and mexico is still unknown. Rural american agriculture likes accessing and needs to have access to a robust Global Market that includes those two countries. There is a bit of a conflict between these two. The plane has not landed yet. And they will be cnet. The farmers can expense like other businesses. 100 percent of investments. Your video farming in the united states. He will be dealing with the issues of trade. And how our goods are treated with canada and mexico. The ceiling standard of living. Its just part of the message. They will say during their speech when hes talking about the compass meant so far than american businesses are going from the highest tax rate in the developed world to the one of the most competitive. That is just thats just part of the message as you can see. Air force one arriving now. And where they are headed on the negotiations. Heres what he said. Nafta has been generally good for agriculture. And they understand that. They are also under a lot of duress. Over the last four or five years. Agriculture is very low. I think they can convince them. While he is a tough negotiator he is expecting canada and mexico to come to the table and have a renewed nafta that will be good for american agriculture. The people at the speech will be paying attention to what President Trump has to say and looking for clues as to what kind of initiatives he might initiate to help raise the standard of living for people in rural america. After nashville the president well had to the College National championship. The author of trump to two. The seeker confessions of a donalds brain. Let me start with this. It was caught somewhere between the rock and a hard place. In the red states that voted for President Trump but they like nafta. They love free trade so they can sell it to the north in the south here. What will he say about nafta. President trump is in an audience that tends to be friendly to him. This is gonna be tough. He is going to listening to his agriculture secretary he will be listening to these farmers and i think its ultimately going to get done. The president will employ the tough talk tough talk. Maybe will be a little bit more favorable with the united states. But i dont he will push it so far that the deal falls apart. He understands how important is it is to the American Farmers. One of the things that the president s tax president s tax law has done was allow companies in farmers do they still then need individual sector subsidies. Doesnt the president need to look at the issue as well. Its time to faze it out. You cant defend them forever. You talk about the trump base as if it is that unified thing. This is a perfect example of why it is more complex than that. They love the anti trade anti immigrant rhetoric. It is a more complex equation. We will see how he straddles that. We also need access to robust infrastructure. There was a weird moment. He said he was not so sure about a Public Private taxation partnership. We bring in private companies to do some of this work. Within the next 24 hours the National Economic advisor headset and by the way we are waiting for the president to exit from air force one, he came out and laid out the whole thing. I have to tell you jfk it was a disaster this weekend. It there was a huge water main break. They ran it. They have nothing. A couple of guys with squeegees. Three guys with the squeegee. It was a complete disaster and there had to be an evacuation. This is a challenging one because there is a little bit more and he wants there. There are areas where we need to focus without public, private partnership. The profit incentive will not be enough to require that the structure needed to help in small towns and communities that desperately need it. The press profit incentive. They will get more business. They see the value of publicprivate partnership. Big speech for the American Farm girl. A white house spokesperson said you know what gary was exactly what he said. As we look forward to what should be something this year do you expect infrastructure will happen. The truth is youve got to fund it. Unfunded efforts in the second a second work whether the privates are running it or not. Weve a generation or more of failure to fund that. Hes coming off of air force one. The group he is speaking to know sitting president has addressed the American Farm bureau in 25 years. Clearly the president sees an opportunity here. It will be very interesting to hear what he says. And how they love access. And then we talk about all thats going on with the stock market kevin has been quite an incredible run. It appears to continue. One quick word about that. There is a lot of talk about the president s tweeting in his press conference at this weekend and all the things he is saying. A lot of times we look at the style and people get frustrated. The substance of what hes accomplishing. At least from a purely economic standpoint. The stock market is doing more. The tax plan was passed. I think overall there is so much Consumer Confidence that people are looking at stylistic challenges. Thank you so much. Keep it right here for coverage of President Trumps remarks to the American Farm bureau.

This has just about anything. And yes mac and i have to act. They are supposed to slow down the speed of that device so business everywhere are still very cautious about installing the patches. He is gearing up to give the keynote dash keynote speech in front of thousands of that techie of techies. Apple is also staring down new attacks by its own investors. About 2 billion of apple shares. They have sent a letter warning that iphones and children are a toxic pair because they cause could cause phone addiction. The stacks of both companies had been mostly immune to the negative headlines how long does that continue. It all depends on your time frame. If you been an investor for multiple years i think youve dealt with this kind of news flow in the past right now over the past two or three weeks its been is but a negative cloud between iphone acts and then turning the battery life down. I think for traders we are watching the average. I think some traders was date some where between the blended exponential as far as intel. It went from 35 to 47. Although there are some problems in the headlines right there. I think if it consolidates about that area the prate the traders will not get there. Todd to apple and that situation. This letter and i think weeks for a lot of parents we do worry that its all smart phones not just apple are affecting that attention spans. Their ability to work out problems themselves without electronics. At some point well there be backlash i think thats what janet and callisters are worried about. As a father myself up for i understand that these devices do tend to stray their attentions a little bit. As far as a stock goes. Its made some big moves and the trend that trend is your friend with apple. Fear is not price into the market. It will be quickly bought. Investors are still very much so. As long as the stock price goes up. And we will have more cash going in from overseas. As it has in the past. I want our viewers to tweet me at liz claman. To tell me if youre worried about this kind of thing and whether youre concerned if your kids are addicted. This does spread and there is a lot of technology there but these two names intel and apple should be with the macro devices. As a new massive partnership with huber. Apples most important customer globally is me and im never gonna buy another iphone again my iphone has not worked right in six months. How me other people just use it for email and a calling i can to try to go to a cheaper device. As far as intel i did on some intel i dont like the news i have sold some options against it. I dont like what is coming ahead more news and more news. They are good news they will do well but right now i would not add to the positions and im actually reducing. What this means for the Oil Companies as i talk to before last time i was on i think technology is whats gonna drive Oil Production and i still like exxon mobil and i guarantee you Customers Companies that are into oilfields they will get hit. Good to see all of you. Apple is slowing down the batteries she is a six its completely slow now. Maybe heavy machinery it might be the new winner in 2018. With the closing bell ringing and after j.

North of downtown dallas. Talking about these. Back to you. I actually have a question. Can you ask mr. Damirs people have said that some of the greatest businesspeople those guys did not get mbas. What does he say when people throw that in there and say you dont need it when we talk about Mark Zuckerberg and Howard Schultz some of the greatest companies in our nation at this time what are your thoughts they did not get mbas. What is a differentiation. What they all have in common was great intellect and a vision. They prioritize human capital. They built out their visions. If you look at those visions. They are not all in silicon valley. A lot of the talent is in the southwest now. For tax overhaul. Demand is there. It is a supply issue. We put us on technology assignments. If we could find more quality people. It is undeniable that the economy is strengthening and more people are aggressive about investing. We are so happy to have both of you here today. Ibid.

But when we brought our daughter home, that was it. Now i have nicoderm cq. The nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release Technology Helps prevent your urge to smoke all day. Its the best thing that ever happened to me. Every great why needs a great how. We have just confirmed that President Trump has arrived at the Gaylord OprylandConvention Center in nashville. It is that Big Convention here. He was speaking about a half hour. We big news out of the white house in dc. And Administration Official confirming a decision on just who will be nominated as the Federal Reserve vice chair seat. This nomination his new secondincommand it seems may not be too far behind. And we have some breaking news on apple. We were just talking about how apple have admitted it was purposely slowing down the batteries of oil older iphones now it appears the french prosecutor has launched a probe into alleged apple deception regarding those slowing batteries. They call it deception and plant obsolescence of its products. We will see what european regulators do after that. But the stock is now down half a . Oil prices in new york. Closing above 60 per barrel. As we look at the prospects of even the higher u. S. Crude outlet. They had unleashed the biggest expansion. Starting in 2019 the government said it will open up tracks including the east and west coast are of the gulf of mexico part waters. As you see on this map canary is one of the largest privately owned oil services. It is the ceo Dan Eberhardt and hes also an advisor to the America First policy. Protest notwithstanding lets just say this how will this impact the price of oil in the survivor of Oil Companies if you increase the supply. I think in the long term if there is more production its the Oil Consumption that will be needed anyway. I think what it leads to is america buying less foreign oil. Two domestic jobs and our National Security. Let me push back on you. Im not so sure and heres why. It is fantastic that we dont depend on arab oil anymore. I love that. I dont want it depend on countries that hate us like hit us like iran. Thats a good thing. When you add that much supply the price normally goes down and unless every 101 professor on this planet earth is wrong you will see a price drop. And that what the what follows might be bankruptcies on that. If the industry keeps doing this that they may douse the big bull run in prices. I think there is a lot of truth to that also. I think that in the longterm if we provide more drilling opportunities in the u. S. The oil industry will find an efficient way to do that in a way to do it a profitable way that produces returns for shareholders. Otherwise they wont get drilled drill. When they were talking about wind farms off the coast of hyannis. Even green energy it is certainly getting pushback. What do you expect to see here when you go to the west coast and the east coast to try to open up these offshore drilling patches. I think there has been some pushback from different governors and stuff. This is a draft proposed plan i think the plant will get changed a little bit as it works its way through the system but i think we should be focused on drilling at home as opposed to buying some oil from overseas etiquette is good for National Security whether it is good for the economics of the oil business or not. With this breaking news james do more who wrote that bombshell memo. He is suing google for discrimination. You are looking at a Live Press Conference in San Francisco where his attorney is discussing the reasons behind the decisions to take legal action.
