Apple's $1B dollar manufacturing investment: Legit, or just PR?

Leslie is joined by Scott N. Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America\u2019s leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union.

The two are joined by callers as they discuss the following:

1. Under what some assume as pressure from the Trump administration, Apple announced a $1 billion investment into advanced manufacturing. What is this investment and can we look forward to an American-made iPhone anytime soon?

2. There are a lot of reshoring tweets and press releases going around. Has Trump or this publicity made any real difference for jobs and workers?

3. We keep hearing about executive orders, and Trump is touting the economy. But announcements and action are two different things. What is the latest update and what should the administration do to create more manufacturing jobs?

The website for the AAM is www.AmericanManufacturing.org and their Twitter handle is @KeepitMadeinUSA.

Scott Paul's handle is @ScottPaulAAM.
