500 millionth vehicle that gm has ever produced. by far more than any other automaker in history. a bright history. but is the future bright? i sat down with mary barr to talk about that future. asked her specifically about the ignition recalls and how much damage that has done to the company. she told me in some ways it made the company stronger. >> i think those are foundational elements that we've laid last year that will lead to us truly be able to create a zero defect vehicle. jeff: mary barr saying that the goal, of course, is to take that experience and actually make a much better vehicle going forward. they announced today another $174 million to be invested in this plant here in fairfax. the fairfax plant here in kansas city, kansas. we'll keep an eye on it. next hour, we'll talk to the president of gm north america about one of gm's most celebrated

vehicles. i'll ask him if he's ready to say it's a bust. can you guess what the vehicle is? bet you can. cheryl: jeff flock. gm stock up fractionally. thank you very much. see you next hour. first quarter gdp was disappointing to say the least. and it remains highly unlikely that growth in this country for the year is even going to exceed 3%. will this be enough for the feds to keep interest rates low? what will it mean for american's personal growth? let's bring in peter barnes for that report. peter: hey, cheryl. president obama launched an stimulus program. he said we would end up like japan with a lost decade of growth. you could say that even with the obama stimulus plan and all of the fed's stimulus, it looks like that we're chalking up and apologies to our fox broadcasting cousins

an american idled decade. that weak first quarter gdp growth of just 0.2% makes it highly likely that growth for 2015 will once again remain below 3%. a realtime economy tracker from the atlanta federal reserve reports growth at 0.8% for the current second quarter. so 2015 could end up being the tenth year of sub 3% growth in -- on average. now, the last nine years, which include the great recession have averaged 1.4%, which also turns out to be the growth president under the president and the fed's stimulus. that compared to a 3% gdp growth rate each year on average before the recession going back to 1965. according to economist scott, real gdp is now running 10% below that long-run potential. costing more than $2 trillion in lost income, each year. and we did hear from

federal reserve bank president chicago fed president charlie evans today who said that that first quarter has given him pause, and he favors starting to raise short-term interest rates in 2016, especially with inflation so low. cheryl. cheryl: interesting. they keep pushing this thing down the road, if you will. yet the markets are going up and up. peter, i want you to stay with me for this discussion. i want to bring in the traders. at the new york stock exchange, cme group, and imex. scott redler is sitting by. we asked you this question before. i'm asking it again. how can the markets trade up and up and up? earnings have not been substantial. it's been kind of ho-hum and the economy is not growing. when is wall street going to wake up and say, hold on a second. >> well, every time you think that will happen like last week, something comes into the market. not many places to put your capital. it's been proven over time that the bull market does win. here we are at a

conundrum where growth isn't great. the market is starting to accept it. we want good news. we're starting to see decent news. about 1% of all-time highs. if we could hold above 2100, this might be the week we break over 2120. cheryl: you're talking technicalities. peter just reported even the fed is backing off and saying, hey, wait a minute. the economy is not looking strong. wages. income. even real meaningful job creation isn't there. american companies are the ones that are over all of this, and they're not telling us that things are that strong, scott. >> well, you know, at this point we have to take the market in front of us. you have corporate backbacks. they're buying back their own stocks. pes a little above the national average. again, this is the market that has been trending. and anyone trying to short this market for the past two years has been getting hurt. so at this point, you know what, at some point

maybe we do break this trend. right now it's essentially a planned market. you see it in europe, japan, asia. that's what's driving prices now. >> we're asking the question now. our viewers want to know where the future will take us. let's talk about commodities. the main thing traded at the come. cme. that's corn. cattle. what about that side of investing? maybe there's opportunity there, maybe not? >> well, i think unfortunately what scott was talking about is right in terms of corporate buybacks and easy money. we're talking about the bad -- we're still not out of that bad news is good news for the stock market. opposite for the commodities market. when you have sub 3% growth for ten years as you mentioned, it's a disgrace. the commodity bull market has to come to an end. they're cyclical. we're 11 years in this one right now. it

>> i don't know what will take the stock market higher. if the fed decides to tighten up. there's nowhere else to put your money. all the corporate buybacks are keeping our market artificially here. and i think the oil market may have given us a hint going forward on where the stock market could go if the fed decides to raise rates. >> that last line was my favorite. artificially here. artificial might be the theme here, guys. >> i hate to say it, but that's really what it seems, you know. >> i agree with you. peter barnes, everyone on the floor show, thank you very much for the commentary. we once again are kicking off our day. 18,000 dow at 16 points. fifty minutes to go for closing bell. warren buffett, start slinging newspapers. well, today he's in the papers for everything, from his purchase at kraft and heinz.

building goodly old american companies, but he got criticized in the meeting a little bit for this. >> all the years that i've been invested in berkshire hathaway, there's always been some form of criticism. there were other criticisms about the clayton home things. people going out there -- cheryl: predatory lending in clayton homes. american way to invest -- >> when you're as big as he is, there will be things that you will say, i wish that hadn't happened. and i'm sure with each of these, he would say, if i could wave a magic wand and get rid of those things, i would. but that's part of the project. he's been supportive of the administration. all the top the administration that he's invested in are supportive of him. (?) cheryl: a lot of talk about the future for him. obviously that's a concern for anyone that holds the stock. the a or the b. he said it's an institution. that we've set it up in a way that it will continue long past my legacy. is that enough? >> yeah, he has great

businesses. burlington northern was a spectacular acquisition. great price, but that's not as he said -- it's not all about price. it's about the businesses you buy ultimately. and he's bought great businesses. so i think the people he has managing those businesses, yeah, i think that's a fair statement. cheryl: he and charlie munger were on the stage. they were drinking cherry coke and eating see's peanut brittle. i believe in coca-cola. and he's living longer. at the time that flies in the face of what we see in america. for americans to get healthier. >> but he doesn't own mcdonald's. right? cheryl: no. he doesn't own mcdonald's, but coca-cola is a different story. >> it's a different story. people will continue to drink coke. he made another comment which was a great comment. where we are today to your question. when you go to whole foods. people aren't smiling in there. they smile when they drink coca-cola.

does that mean he has an offer on the table? does that mean he has deal documents drawn up? i don't think it's that far. i think this is just indication. when i reported this on friday after about four hours afterhours, the stock was going up. bloomberg said it's not true. they're not interested in buying it. you take it for what it's worth. billions of dollars in market cap has increased the new york times -- reports from the market says it's true and that these bankers are reading -- mayor bloomberg's intention that he's interested any in it. he's also interested in buying lexus. most reporters know what lexis-nexis is. it's a database for lawyers. and it has all these legal documents on it where you can download it. it's apparently extremely profitable. bloomberg has set up its own diversion of

lexis-nexis. what he's saying, is that, yes, he's interested in purchasing this again. we should point out that that score, a bloomberg spokesperson has no comment. we'll keep you updated if she should change their mind as they did last week. that's where we are right now. i'll tell you who my sources are. my sources are very well-placed media bankers. they talk to people in the bloomberg operation. mayor bloomberg himself. they're good at this stuff. he may not be ready to make a bid on the new york times now. but clearly what they're saying is that he's interested. we should point out, he needs two sides to dance on this one. he needs the new york times to want to sell to some extent. remember, the family that owns it, they control the controlling stock. it is a public company. there's the way the stock is split up

between a and b shares. they control that stock and they've given no indication that they want to sell. as a matter of fact they told the fox business network, they are not for sale. you never what happens. that's what the bankers and the cox family said when murdoch put a bid in for them a couple years ago. after going back and forth, mr. murdoch did prevail and buy the wall street journal and dow jones. back to you. cheryl: all right. charlie gasparino live. he'll be in the salt conference and hopefully staying out of trouble. closing bell. twenty-nine minutes to go. relief workers are using drones over nepal to help get emergency supplies to stranded survivors. how they're helping the city of san diego california. also, it wasn't all fun and games at the berkshire hathaway annual meeting. warren buffett had to answer tough questions about some of his biggest investments.

get critical supplies out to stranded victims. george joins me now in a fox business exclusive. so we wanted to ask you about this. we know that the faa and, of course, the developers of drones are at odds. but is this something that can be used for good around the world, what we're seeing in nepal? >> hi, cheryl. thanks for having me. great question. absolutely. they could be. we've seen drones used -- our unmanned systems used for multiple applications. i mean, they were originally thought of being used for military. we thought of them being expand into other areas. back in 2007, if people remember, there were raging fires burning across southern california, including where my workplace was. we were closed because of the fires. we saw unmanned systems being used for that application. as the fires were burning, our system, called the global hawk was actually flying high

above san diego county at about 60,000 people and able to stay up there for up to 30 hours taking images that we could feed realtime to the firefighters on the ground. so the value of that was, the images that they were being provided, they could use those to determine, you know, where to send the relief teams. where to send the resources. where they needed to be in order to understand what routes were safer for evacuations. it was a real benefit that we saw really for the first time of our systems being used for that type of application. and the great part, cheryl, was when it was all over, we heard from several firefighters that said, we really appreciated what you did because you helped save lives and property. cheryl: sure. that's the thing that struck me about what's happening in nepal. the government. the nepalese government saying that these drones are the way to potentially find people that are still alive. not in mountainous areas, but maybe just strand. but here in the us, the

faa is at odds of drones. they want the operator to have a line of sight for the drones. perfect example of the fire season in california. the faa could maybe at least drop that regulation in a crisis? is a company like your voice part of that discussion? >> yeah, cheryl, definitely. in fact, that's a great point you make, that 2007, that's exactly how it happened. and i think in times of crises, you're given permission to fly a system like we had. and i think -- or, i know right now we're working very closely with the faa and several unmanned systems orgsdz organizations like avsi to do what you said. we're trying to make sure we're influencing and helping to craft responsible safety policy and procedures that will allow technology for unmanned systems, drones, to be used safely and to be able to help. you know, besides when i mentioned fires, we saw

them used extensively in japan when the japanese were faced with the tsunami and the earthquake. we saw technology save lives. find people. find where they could be moved safely. where relief needed to go. we've seen it during hurricanes. during the fires. the earthquakes. just more and more applications we're seeing where they can be used. >> let me ask you real quickly about this national geographic documentary that you're very proud of. it includes the global hawk. that is that nasa is using this to go up to very incredibly high elevations to take air samples. that helps the city of san diego. tell me about the involvement between the drones and the city of san diego. and the high recognition being offered them. >> yeah, cheryl, it was wonderful to be part of that documentary with national geographic. it highlighted the advantages of san diego with technology, world class universities, research facilities. and then it was a real

honor to be picked to be part of it. so we were able to highlight some of the technology we have in north gremin with the global hawk. we do take it and fly to high altitudes. we've been to the arctic to help with global warming. we've taken it to the pacific where we've flown over hurricanes and tycoons. if you live in california, we have this thing called the pineapple express. it hits us every winter. now it's a better way to understand those storms and help predict how we can help people. so it's been really nice to see what north gremin in san diego has been able to do to help. >> george, thank you for your time. of course, we'll follow the program at north grumin. breaking news into fox business, everybody. a short time ago we reported on a shooting incident that happened in baltimore. we have new details. it appears that police
