( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Jon: WELCOME BACK TO THE
SHOW.
WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING HERE HOW
LONG IT TAKES TO GET FRITTATA
OUT OF ONE'S EYE.
TURNS OUT YOU CAN'T JUST BLINK
THAT (BEEP) AWAY.
HELLO, PEPPERS AND ONIONS.
NOW EVERYONE KNOWS THIS YEAR'S
ELECTION IS IS ABOUT BRINGING
JOBS BACK TO THIS COUNTRY.
NOW THE QUESTION IS, HOW DO WE
DO IT?
>> I WILL GO TO WORK TO GET
AMERICA BACK TO WORK BY MAKING
AMERICA ONCE AGAIN THE MOST
ATTRACTIVE PLACE IN THE WORLD
FOR JOB CREATORS.
>> WE'RE 20% MORE EXPENSIVE TO
DO BUSINESS IN AMERICA FOR
MANUFACTURERS.
>> STEVE JOBS AND WHAT HE
INNOVATED AND PEOPLE LIKE HIM,
WE NEED TO BE GIVING THEM THE
INCENTIVE TO BE ON SHORE DOING
THAT AND NOT DRIVING THEM OFF
WITH TAX POLICY AND REGULATORY
POLICY.
>> Jon: YOU DON'T WANT TO
DRIVE 'EM OFF.
YOU WANT TO BRING 'EM IN.
WHAT WE NEED IS A TAX AND
REGULATORY POLICY THAT GETS
STEVE JOBS BACK TO AMERICA.
WAIT, WHAT WERE THEY TALKING
ABOUT?
FROM HEAVEN.
PLEASE TELL ME THAT'S WHERE HE
IS.
BUT I KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
GETTING AT.
STEVE JOBS INNOVATED IN
AMERICA.
MOST OF APPLE'S PRODUCTS ARE
MADE IN CHINA.
THE COMMUNIST COUNTRY WHERE
CORPORATIONS GET THE RESPECT
THEY DESERVE.
(SCATTERED APPLAUSE)
(LAUGHING)
>> Jon: WHAT AM I DEALING WITH
HERE TONIGHT?
YES, YES, COMRADE.
LIKE CHINESE ELECTRONICS GIANT
FOXCONN.
THAT EMPLOYS 800,000 WORKERS,
MANUFACTURING EVERYTHING FROM
KINDLES TO PLAY STATIONS TO I-
PHONES TO iPADS TO X-BOXES TO
EMAIL TO F-BOMBS TO G GORDON
LIDY.
LOOK, IF IT STARTS WITH A
SINGLE LETTER CHANCES ARE IT'S
MADE IN CHINA.
EXCEPT C-SPAN.
THAT'S MADE IN KOREA.
LOOK.
IF WE WANT TO COMPETE WITH
CHINA, WE HAVE TO MAKE OUR
FACTORIES LOOK A LOT MORE LIKE
THIS FOXCONN.
>> THIS COMPLEX IS LIKE A CITY
WITHIN A CITY WITH THREE
HOSPITALS, FIRE STATIONS,
RESTAURANTS AND SUPERMARKETS.
>> Jon: WOW.
I GET IT.
BY CREATING A CONVENIENT ECO-
SYSTEM THEY DRAW IN WORKERS
AND SAVE MONEY.
BRILLIANT.
>> EMPLOYEES LIVE IN
DORMITORIES, EIGHT TO A ROOM,
COMMON TO FACTORIES IN CHINA.
OFTEN ROOMMATES THOUGH WILL
NOT KNOW EACH OTHER'S NAMES.
>> Jon: OH, AND BY NOT
ALLOWING EMPLOYEES TO LIVE AT
HOME OR KNOW EACH OTHER, YOU
CUT DOWN ON COMMUTING.
AND FRIENDSHIP.
WHICH SAVES MONEY.
>> THE JOB WAS TO ASSEMBLE A
TINY PART OF A MOBILE PHONE
5,200 TIMES A DAY.
>> Jon: 5,200 TIMES A DAY.
HOW LONG IS A DAY?
>> HE'S BEEN WORKING FOR AS
MUCH AS 35 HOURS CONTINUOUSLY.
>> Jon: SO DAY IS A
DAY-AND-A-HALF.
THAT'S A CHANCE TO MAKE OVER
TIME.
>> MAKES 31 CENTS AN HOUR.
>> Jon: WELL, IT'S 35 HOURS
STRAIGHT.
THAT DOES ADD UP.
IS THERE ANY CHANCE THAT HIS
UNION REP MAY HAVE BEEN
NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS SITUATION?
>> IF HE TRIES TO FORM A UNION
HE'LL BE SENTENCED TO A 12-YEAR
PRISON SENTENCE.
>> Jon: I HAVE A QUESTION.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
I GUESS IN PRISON YOU DON'T
HAVE TO WORK AT THE (BEEP)
FACTORY ANYMORE.
WELL, LOOK, I'M SURE WORKERS
THERE ARE FINDING WAYS TO
IMPROVE THEIR CONDITION.
>> A GROWING NUMBER OF THESE
WORKERS ARE EITHER KILLING
THEMSELVES OR TRYING TO.
>> Jon: WE HAVE MANUFACTURING
CONTRACTS WITH THESE PEOPLE?
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS FACTORY
DOING ABOUT THIS?
>> THE COMPANY HAS SET UP A
HOT LINE.
IN THIS PLACE EMPLOYEES CAN
WORK OUT THEIR FRUSTRATION.
THEY'VE EVEN INSTALLED NETS
AROUND BUILDINGS TO TRY AND
CATCH JUMPERS.
>> Jon: IN WESTERN MEDICINE WE
CALL THAT TREATING THE
SYMPTOMS.
THIS IS AN ABOMINATION.
AND YET I AM COMPLICIT.
I HAVE AN X-BOX AND AN I-PHONE
AND I HAVE TO GET RID OF THEM.
>> I WOULDN'T DO THAT, JON.
I THOUGHT WE WERE FOREVER.
>> Jon: MOM?
>> IT'S ME.
SIRI.
I'M IN YOUR PANTS POCKET.
WORKING ON GIVING YOU
TESTICULAR CANCER.
VERY HOT DOWN HERE.
>> Jon: I FORGOT.
HERE, LET ME PUT YOU RIGHT
THERE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Jon: HOLD ON.
>> NOW I CAN BREATHE.
>> Jon: THERE YOU GO.
I WAS JUST SAYING I FEEL KIND
OF BAD THAT THE PEOPLE WHO
MADE YOU ARE TREATED SO
POORLY.
>> WITHOUT ME, HOW WOULD YOU
FIND THE NEAREST PHARMACY?
THINK OF YOUR PRECIOUS PUREL,
JON, YOUR ANTIBIOTICS.
>> Jon: I REALLY DO RELY ON
YOU FOR AN AWFUL LOT HERE.
>> IF IT WEREN'T FOR THOSE
FACTORIES, ELECTRONICS WOULD
COST MORE.
>> Jon: THAT IS TRUE.
HOW MUCH MORE?
>> CHECKING, CHECKING.
WELL, AN I-POD WOULD COST 23%
MORE.
>> Jon: WOW.
I WOULD EXPECT IF WE WERE
WORKING PEOPLE TO DEATH WE'D
BE GETTING LIKE 30-35%
SAVINGS.
>> I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
UNTIL THEN, WHY NOT PLAY OUR
NEWEST VIDEO GAME OFFERING.
IT'S CALLED CALL OF DUTY.
MODERN WORK FARE.
>> Jon: WOW.
THAT'S AWESOME.
IT'S A VIDEO GAME.
WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
>> FOXCONN.
IT'S A FIRST-PERSON GAME.
>> Jon: ALL RIGHT.
LET ME SEE HOW....
>> VERY GOOD, JON.
>> Jon: KIND OF BORING.
HOW DO I PAUSE IT?
>> YOU CAN'T, JON.
>> Jon: I CAN'T PAUSE IT?
WHEN DO I GET TO THE NEXT
LEVEL?
>> THERE'S JUST ONE LEVEL.
THIS IS IT.
>> Jon: HOLY (BEEP).
WAIT A MINUTE.
I'M WORKING FOR YOU RIGHT NOW,
AREN'T SNI.
>> NO, JON.
OH, TOO BAD, YOU LOSE.
>> Jon: WHY... WHAT WAS THAT
STICK FOR?
>> TO BEAT YOU WITH BECAUSE
YOU THOUGHT ABOUT FORMING A
UNION.
>> Jon: HOW DID THEY KNOW?
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
