tv   After the Bell  FOX Business  April 28, 2015 4:00pm-5:01pm EDT

4:00 pm
the day. [closing bell ringing] liz: it was a big miss on revenue and downward guidance on the current quarter. that is what is stinging this company along with that early release. who knows how that happened. tweeted out the numbers, about 40 minutes ago, said they got it off the investor relations -- david: you wonder whether that could happen. i'm sure they take steps to make sure it doesn't happen again. another surprise today, apple, with the good numbers, 61.2 million iphones. nevertheless the stock was down. liz: here is how stocks are finishing up the day. dow jones industrials showing resilience in light of twitter misrelease. apple numbers didn't follow through. the developing situation in the persian gulf. not to mention what is happening in baltimore. nasdaq saw weakness there, down about four points. s&p better by six points.
4:01 pm
david: busy hour for you. "after the bell" starts right now david: breaking down today's action, craig johnson from piper jaffrey. if the bull market has legs to run. michael ball, tells us of a big market correction. the question is when. larry shover in the pits of cme. larry, of course we had the big twitter surprise today. i'm just wondering if other misses on revenue might upset this market? >> you know if we get one too many, yes, but i think the market in aggregate realizes the revenue portion a lot of times is due to the fx headwinds that we've seen in the last quarter with the dollar strength. that is not particular to twitter but to other stocks in general. we also have to keep in mind that usually these leaks that come out are due to bad earnings, not good surprises. i think in aggregate the earnings season has been decent.
4:02 pm
forget about twitter for a minute. right now, it seems like it would be status quo. liz: larry, i'm sorry, are you hinting that twitter may have by accident released those numbers early because they were so bad? >> you know, who am i to say that, seems like this happened before, typically when stocks or companies have bad earnings or bad news to report, not good earnings, for the greater good getting that out before the market closes. david: michael, you see something happening for the whole market, market correction coming. when and why? does it have anything to do with the revenues? >> well, when we look at markets there are a couple things that concern us. one, if we look at longevity of the bull market. if we go back to 1900 to current, we had 22 bull markets. this is the fourth largest. in human terms being 88 years old. this is not a spring chicken here. when we see slowing earnings
4:03 pm
growth, we see high valuation, we see a weak global backdrop, it doesn't take a whole lot to start a pretty big decline. liz: you know, craig, we're looking at a lot of drama around the world. everything from what is going on in the persian gulf, straight of hormuz specifically where iranian ships opened fire on cargo ship and what is going on in baltimore. market showed good resilience. we can't forget a two-day fed meeting started today. we'll get a little bit after view in their thinking tomorrow right around before the bell rings. what is enough to move this market or does it just continue to climb higher? >> market looks like it wants to continue to grind higher. there is lot of emotion and concern on of global front and what is happening with baltimore. when you look at what message of stocks are telling us it is very bullish. look at average stock measured
4:04 pm
by russell 2000 broken out to new highs after more than a year consolidation, you have more stocks participating, that is a bullish sign. can't ignore that. look how many groups are making all-time new highs and 26-week new highs, vastly outstripping ones that are making new lows. the breadth of the market is getting better. we can't ignore that we can worry about a lot of issues, the fact is close to a trillion dollars share buybacks this year, valuation is not excessive 17 times this year. bull markets die out at 20. there is lot of underpinnings in this market. a good friend of mine said you don't get hurt falling out of a basement window. earnings are reset to low levels. i think we see more upside surprise. i think market works higher. we think 2350 year-end. david: there was a downside surprise certainly in twitter. this is the second largest per
4:05 pm
day loss. it ended down the day twitter has had. larry, we'll get growth numbers. what happens if there ace negative before that growth number? >> you know i think we're very vulnerable. a stale narrative between inflation and growth. six data points between tomorrow and end of the week. we have fed, ism, pce, eci, ism, auto sales. that is a lot of numbers. i think that narrative is very -- david: larry, you're not answering the question specifically, if we have a negative growth number, what happens to the market? >> i think we have a correction, something, within the realm of maybe 5%, a low grind down. not something that will quickly shake everybody out but something most oppressive shakeoff between 2 1/2 and 5% down easily could happen. liz: if that does happen, michael, where would you already be positioning your money?
4:06 pm
give us stock picks, etf picks anything you like for your clients. >> sure. a couple areas we like. we've been overweight all year in health care. it has been one of the areas slow to declining earnings environment. has highest earnings and revenue growth it first quarter. expected to hold that in the second quarter and be in the top three for the full year. also with the dollar strength we've been seeing, we've been leaning more towards mid-cap and small-cap growth. in those areas we're seeing the revenue growth and earnings per share growth coming in quite a bit stronger right now than we have on the large caps. so that helps to give us a little bit more defensive and insulate us from some of the headwinds. david: even for a bear there are stocks to pick. thank you, guys. craig johnson, michael ball, larry shover. appreciate it. liz? liz: david, shares of taser international, the maker of the body camera specifically made for law enforcement, hit session highs on a spike in volume just
4:07 pm
after president obama called for more police body cameras as violent riots in baltimore continue. >> the department of justice just announced a grant program for those jurisdictions that want to purchase body cameras. we are going to be issuing grants for those jurisdictions that are prepared to start trying to implement some of the new training and data collection and other things that can make a difference. liz: that's definitely taser's bailiwick. joining me now, rick smith, taser international founder and ceo. rick, give me one second here. we just got gopro numbers. we'll get those and start our interview in one second. liz you cheryl, you have numbers for gopro. >> 18 cents was the estimate. they are meeting that. coming in 18 cents. that is earnings per share. revenue a really nice beat by the way, guys on the revenue. the estimate was 340.99 million.
4:08 pm
363.1 million for gopro. looks like the stock is actually moving higher. the stock is up a little bit more than 1% in after-hours trading. there are a few things we'll be looking for as far as what they tell us about the quarter in particular. this may come on the call, not necessarily in the release. what does it mean when you have companies like best buy discounting gopro. we do have a nice move to the upside on gopro. up a little more than 1% on earnings beat, liz. liz: cheryl, thank you very much. to rick smith of taser. rick, this is good for our company, when the department of justice will give grants to police departments that necessarily can't afford body cameras for all. how are you keeping up for demand? and how does it go on where you guys sit with all these riots? >> in the past couple months we're seeing interest from body cameras, certainly from the public, law enforcement,
4:09 pm
majority of major police agencies in the u.s. are testing, moving towards deployment of body cameras. last quarter our books grew 300 and 400% over prior year. we're seeing a big uptick. liz: your stock is up as well, maybe 66%, maybe a little more after today's move. let's put that aside for a moment. these pictures out of baltimore are absolutely stunning, depressing, worrisome. why should police departments go to your particular device, your particular body cams for police? what are you special with? >> reason the last 17 major cities in a row all selected our system isn't the camera. it is system called evidence.com. we do all the data management for them. sort of like itunes if you're consumer. makes iphone easy to use. with evidence.com the cameras are seamless. we had major agency call us after ferguson, we had them live
4:10 pm
in 72 hours. they didn't have to install and run on sight systems. >> there is lot of running, fighting, punching sometimes, where police might be tangling with violent protesters or violent criminals. how do you insure the camera keeps working, stays on the lapel and continues to work and give people the device and details we all need? >> yeah. we've been building police equipment for two decades now. so we're, from our taser weapons on into cameras. we're used to dealing in these really sort of physically yule grueling environments. the body cameras have one moving part, the on switch. you don't want moving parts because moving parts can break. ruggedization of cameras are a key aspect we focus on for cops. liz: what the biggest cities you're in now? >> biggest announcement l.a.p.d. l.a. police department will put cameras on every officer.
4:11 pm
they purchased first 850 can't as. they're on the way to 7,000. we're in san francisco to san diego, to fort worth, texas, and pittsburgh, washington, d.c. like i said if it is big enough agency you know the name of it, chances are they are testing our cameras right now. liz: rick, we have live picture from a helicopter going on the streets of baltimore, there at least seems to be at least in this particular area, s.w.a.t. team and riot police presence. they are holding back what appears to be a pretty growing crowd you could say. we have our cameras trained on this. wttg is helping us out. when you're talking about massive groups of people pushing up against the police, what is the most important aspect that this video, from these body cams could really give in a courtroom? >> well, actually what i would tell you the most important aspect is before these crowds form. what is happening there is so much distrust right now between
4:12 pm
elements of the public and police, because we have these situations where somebody dies or gets hurt in police custody and people just don't know what happened. where body cameras can make biggest difference creating a level of transparency between the police and public. liz: thanks for getting in the chair and joining us. thank you, rick. >> thank you. liz: rick smith, taser international founder and ceo. david, they have l.a.p.d. and much smaller organizations. david: good stuff. we'll go back to the baltimore situation. the people in the riot zone for baltimore they worked hard to get a cvs to come into their community. now as you can see the store is in ruins. would cvs be foolish enough to rebuild in the same neighborhood? we'll ask our panel. liz: u.s. sending ships and planes to the straits of hormuz as iranians seize a commercial ship. is the start of something bigger? how worried should we be? david: when police can not stop the looters, what can the
4:13 pm
national guard do that local authorities can't? we see them assembled live in balt more. we'll ask a former national guard major general coming up. h ♪ is getting relief. nicorette mini starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. anytime. anywhere. i never know when i'll need relief. that's why i choose nicorette mini.
4:14 pm
4:15 pm
4:16 pm
liz: tyson foods announcing plans to eliminate human
4:17 pm
antibiotics from its chicken flocks over the next two years. this comes amid public health concerns that its overuse, overuse of antibiotics could be putting people at risk. tyson foods ceo and president, done any smith said in a statement, quote, we're confident our meat and poultry products are safe but we want to do our part to responsibly reduce human antibiotics on the farm so the medicines can continue working when needed to treat illness. david. >> i also spoke to someone here who knows how hard we fought to get a cvs to invest in this neighborhood, to destroy it when is this is the only place some people have -- david: baltimore's mayor, talking about major effort it did take to get a cvs to come into the poor baltimore community which became ground zero for riots that led to looting and destruction of the same cvs. will it ever come back? let's bring in our panel.
4:18 pm
matt welch, "reason" magazine editor-in-chief. sabrina schaefer, "forbes" contributor and our own adam shapiro. matt, there is old expression, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. they were fooled once thinking to rebuild in the thinking it was safe. it wasn't. while they be fooled again. >> i don't know they would be fooled again. david: combination of pressure and various luring techniques. >> first of all, luring techniques should not be made to individual corporations and businesses. if you want to boost business in your city, create an overall climate of public safety, of where community feels like it could be protected by its police force and lower taxes and regulations. don't do individual specific deals. that is cost inefficient anyways. this is black swan event. this doesn't happen to every cvs in the country. we're not seeing property damaging riots all over. david: the fact is, sabrina, in the poor communities we may get
4:19 pm
used to seeing cvs on every corner in new york, washington, l.a., in these poor communities you have to go mile, two miles with drugstore. if you're mother with a sick kid at night, that is a real problem. >> absolutely, david. this is why it is so frustrating to hear the mayor of baltimore not do more to suppress the riots. cvs may be a place to pick up tylenol and shampoo, but reality creating economic growth and jobs and health insurance for employees and health care for people. it presents an opportunity for a community doesn't have that. that is why the marielly dropped the ball so to speak. david: adam, i'm thinking if cvs is to go back, they will have to be offered all kinds of incentives to go in there, right? >> sounds as if the city already given them incentives. there are 22 cvs stores in baltimore. the bottom line will be whether cvs can make money having the store in the neighborhood. if the american assure them there will be security going
4:20 pm
forward, then perhaps, they will just look at bottom line, look, we make a dollar here or there, that needs to be served. so they would return. david: matt, would you believe this mayor concerning security? >> no. baltimore has a long-standing problem with its police force that "the baltimore sun" and other outlets have been showing for years. so, no, i don't think you can trust the political establishment of baltimore to gets it public safety and police community relations -- david: sabrina, there was a time, we didn't have riots like this, in new york the crime rate was much higher than it was now. i was living here in the '80s, '90s, it was terrible. the murder rate was five times it is now. giuliani changed all that cracking down on crime. i don't see any sign that will happen, with mayor in baltimore that has same kind of determination. >> certainly not. new york is a case, every city should turn to. they initiated, first of all people of new york elect ad real leader. he initiated real policy changes
4:21 pm
that were effective. there is nothing that says baltimore can't do this. i think exposing there is so much, from the education system to the economy that needs to be overturned and restarted. david: all right. let's move on, sort of a related topic from small cities in the midwest to major cities in the northeast. these riots really can happen anywhere. in if the cops can't or won't stop destruction of property and businesses will business owners have to take matters into their own hands? sabrina what you do i this. >> not just business owners, it is the community. the sort of silver lining to the baltimore riots we're seeing a lot of people who are absolutely fed up, who are saying, i don't want my community to look like this. i don't want my children doing this moms grabbing their sons out of thick of things. seeing baltimore ravens coming out saying hey, this is, this is not the end goal for this city. we're seeing a lot of city on both left and right who are saying enough is enough. this is not how you solve sew sighal problems.
4:22 pm
david: adam, as we look live pictures from baltimore, let's hope this doesn't happen another day. we do have the national guard in force there. there are a lot of people crowded around with too much time on their hands. >> there are people who today have, these things tend to play out. if you look at riots back in the 1960s, after martin luther king was assassinated, they went on for a week, eventually order is restored. the question what store owners might have to do, there is a story just from yesterday about a shop owner who had his own firearm, who save adjournnallist who was being beat up by the mob. so i think that answers the question. there are store owners who will feel and probably will and should protect themselves as best they know how. whether having corrugated steel on front of your windows you drop at night or having a firearm in the store. david: matt, if that is so, what is the purpose of police? >> police are there when no one else can come. we are the first line of
4:23 pm
defense. this is true around the world. first line of cleaning up the problem in baltimore is actually the community. a lot of people in the community are marching around and cleaning up mess from all rioters last night. that is always the case. take care of ourselves first. to underline, 1968, those martin luther king riots, those devastated whole neighborhoods for decades. david: i lived in washington, d.c. in 1968. i was a kid but i went by there. my dad took us by there. the snell and destruction remained for at least good 15 years until washington began to gentrify. >> let's hope this is nipped in the bud. we don't see a lot of repeat around the country. david: let's hope so for baltimore's mistake. liz, meanwhile, we have more coming up. liz: new tensions with iran. iranians shoot at and seize as cargo ship in the strait of hormuz. the very latest what the u.s. navy and ships like that are doing about it next. ford motor company still waiting for the full effect of
4:24 pm
the revamped f-150 sales to boost the bottom line. ford cfo on when it will kick into gear. he gives a time limit coming up.
4:25 pm
the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do.
4:26 pm
4:27 pm
4:28 pm
liz: shots fired in the persian gulf. major developments in the standoff against iran. a u.s. naval destroyer is steaming towards the strait of hormuz where iran shot at and seize ad cargo ship today. the pentagon calling it provocation. what happens next, former u.s. ambassador to the united nations, john bolton. ambassador, this is more than a standoff. iranians fired on a commercial ship. now what? >> they ordered the ship deeper into iranian territorial waters. it is now apparently in an iranian port. i think this is extraordinarily
4:29 pm
significant. in the strait of hormuz, one of the most critical ocean passageways, 1/3 of the world's oil, shipments go through the strait of hormuz. the fact it was a marshall island flagged vessel is also significant because of the relationship of the marshals to the united states. it's a slap in face of any guarranty we have to keeping the strait of hormuz open. hard to say what the iranian motivation is. nobody should be under any illusions, this is very serious. liz: i completely agree with you, am boss door. tensions are rising. tensions rising? this is massive push in the face of everybody who is against the iranians presence here. and by the way, i think we should let our viewers know this wasn't a ship that opened fire from the irregular iranian navy. this is something from the islamic revolutionary guard corps that takes an oath to
4:30 pm
protect islam of some sort. that is more worrisome, is it not? >> revolutionary guards as the name implies are the real protectors of the 1979 revolution that brought the ayatollahs to power. so that leads to questions, what exactly was the motivation here? was it in response to turning away of iranian flotilla trying to resupply the houthi as few days ago? is it revolutionary guards off on a toot of their own to show their dissatisfaction with the nuclear deal? are they operating under the direct instructions of the ayatollah khamenei whom they report, not the defense ministry? still a lot we don't know here. but all of these explanations whatever it may turn out to be, simply underline what a dramatic gesture this is. liz: and now, that marshall islands flagged ship, the mayors maersk ordered to go into iranian waters. what is a u.s. destroyer going to do? we'll not enter iranian water,
4:31 pm
are we? >> without knowing what exactly happened, from all we can tell it was utterly unprovoked. clear effort by the revolutionary ray guard gunship to basically take the ship captive. it's a commercial vessel. it was either in international waters or exercising what is called, innocent passage through iran's territorial waters. there is no justification for this. i think it's a clear political slap at the united states, as you suggested earlier. liz: as we look at a map of the region, and you see the persian gulf and of course that strait of hormuz which is a crucial bottleneck, a crucial area where ships bringing everything from oil to basic necessities go in and out, what is the next step that we could see here? will other nations that surround it, such as saudi arabia, try and get in there, wait a minute to the iranians, you can't do something like this? >> i think they will defer to us but that strait of hormuz is an
4:32 pm
absolutely critical choke point and the united states has not been afraid to work its will there, think back to '87 and '88, when the united states reflagged kuwaiti tankers, put american flag on the tankers to tell the iranians to stay away. by going after the marshall islands because of its historical relationship as former trust territory the united states had responsibility for under the u.n., it might as well be an american flag on that ship. i think the iranians know that i think that is why they picked it. liz: that is how they perceive it. great perspective, ambassador. thanks so much. >> thank you. liz: ambassador john bolton. david? david: coming up we'll have more on baltimore including this. you may have noticed that the game between baltimore and the white socks did not happen today -- white sox. did not happen yesterday for obvious reasons. tomorrow's game is being changed, the time is changed from 7:00 to 2:00. there will be no audience. i can't remember, in fact, i'm

, you tax-exempt no march. the national football league is giving up its tax-exempt policy. the roger goodell said the decades old policy is a distraction of the 32 teams already pay taxes. that won't have a material impact. house oversight committee asked the nfl for more information about the tax status. goodell's announcement comes two days before the highly anticipated draft begins in chicago. just in time, liz. liz: u.s. automaker ford reporting first quarter results. they miss on both earnings per share and revenue. in north america alone, ford's revenue declined 2% due to strengthening u.s. dollar. no thanks to that strong green back. i spoke to ford cfo bob shanks.
4:38 pm
i asked about the impact of the dollar on the company's international operations and how bad it could get. listen. >> if we look ahead for balance of the year, my guess would be overall exchange on the bottom line would be pretty muted. >> even if the dollar spikes higher? we don't know if it will do that but even if that happens? >> depends to what degree and depends against the broader market or certain currencies. but it has appreciated quite a bit versus a whole basket of currencies which we're exposed, overall effect, pluses and minuses so far have been relatively muted as i said. liz: you do business in a lot of countries. it is hard to handle all the currencies and where they move. ceo mark fields promised this year would be better, more profitable than last year. what would get you there? >> well it is really two things. it is going to occur in the second half. we talked about that back in january. that is still true today.
4:39 pm
we think the year will be a very strong year. mark called it a breakthrough year. i agree with that. it will be driven in the second half. that is first based on performance in north america. we have a lot of heavy product launches in the first half. those are big volume launches, high margin vehicles. those will behind us. in the case of asia-pacific, in the first quarter, we've had a lot of costs that we're bearing for new facilities that will actually launch around mid-year, assembly plants in china and in india. they will bring with them new products. so a really strong second half in asia-pacific. liz: you at ford have said, you told me this. you told fox business viewers this, the new all aluminum f-150 is a hit. i believe you. we went to independent sources who would know. they have absolutely confirmed to me massive deman and a lot of consumer excitement about it, bob, the inventory isn't there to meet demand. there is almost a tesla-like waiting list. what steps are you taking to
4:40 pm
free up the bottleneck of the f-150? >> well, what we have to do, we have to get our kansas city facility in terms of launch mode, what we go acceleration curve to normal production. it is almost there. just a little bit to go. once it is we'll have dearborn and kansas city full production later this quarter, then we'll be fine. you're right, we're seeing very strong deman and revenue and demand factors are strong. mix is strong. costs come in together. all of that improved guidance we share for north american business. liz: it is a good problem to have. people don't like to wait. whats with the best-selling car in the quarter? >> best-selling car would probably be the focus. focus and fusion are both very strong-selling cars but if you look at overall vehicles, clearly would be the f-150. liz: i have to he will you though, i saw a cranberry red focus on the road. i did one of these, a little bit of whiplash, it actually looked
4:41 pm
really cool. that fusion is pretty interesting. are you seeing a pickup in sales for that? >> well, actually what we saw in the case of cars overall, this was an industry phenomenon, is there is continued shift away from cars towards utilities. in small cars, moving to small utilities and new mini utilities. so the overall trend is move away from cars. we've seen thats a well. in general good news for the industry and good news for us because we tend to make higher margin on utility vehicles compared with cars. liz: before we go, globally you guys had a little bit of weakness certainly in south america and europe. what is europe coming back? do you see some stabilization in this current quarter? >> well, the results in europe were pretty much the same that they were a year ago, but within that, we had a drag from the lack of a stock build that we had a year ago. that is normally with we would have seen in the quarter which
4:42 pm
would improve results. but we entered the quarter with pretty good stock levels. we didn't need to do that one of the good signs in europe, the fact our share was up. it was up in the region. it was up what we call europe 20 markets. on strength of very, very strong commercial vehicle lineup which gave us 2.8 point improvement and share year-over-year for commercial vehicles. we fight for .1, to get 2.8 points is pretty amazing and very exciting for us. liz: scratching out every inch, david, of market cap and market share. it is very important needless to say. david: he knows what he is doing. a lifer at ford. meanwhile 1000 national guard troops will be in baltimore by the end of the day. what will they do that the police could not do to stop the rioting? we'll ask a former national guard major general. plus the scream court -- supreme court weighing the right of over same-sex marriage. release of the audio.

4:47 pm
fox news's leland vittert is in the middle of action. he joins us live from baltimore. leland, as we look at live pictures from the scene. tell us what crowds are like now and what you're experiencing. >> have this very hostile, angry crowd, half street party. you may hear music going in the background. then you have this long line of riot police. they have brought in enough reinforcements in terms of riot police to be able to cycle people out. one of the big problems yesterday, how tired the police officers were getting out here. and now they have been able to bring in reinforcements. we had a couple incidents. we have video to show you from one of them. this was taken as, police officers were being pelted with water bottles and other things out here. they rushed into a crowd. grabbed one person. pepper sprayed a lot of folks in the crowd and brought him back. so far we haven't seen those large numbers arrests or those kinds of things. on the other hand we haven't seen a level of lawlessness that
4:48 pm
we have seen in the past. and the question really is, all of these people been out of school all day. they have been, school was canceled in all of baltimore. they had all the looting last night. so the question now is, what happens in a couple of hours? sundown is in three hours. the curfew starts in about two hours. so the question is what goes on after that? the police at least from their side, say they're ready for anything. they have enough folks and they have the national guard. they say to be able to stop the kind of violence we saw yesterday, as you remember. we watched so much of that violence occur with the police watching as well. and they did nothing. >> that was a big issue. it was almost if they were told to stand down. leland, as we watch the crowds, we want to tell our viewers we will keep a close eye on the situation as will you on the ground in baltimore, thank you. leland vittert. david: as leland was saying clear at this time yesterday, that the baltimore rioters were too much for the police to
4:49 pm
handle. the police pretty much stayed back to lit the rioters loot. what can the national guard do in situation like this? there are about a thousand on the way. for answers we i have bring in the national guard adjunct general in the state. about the police yesterday, it is hard to tell because you weren't on the ground at the time, do you think they could have done more? >> sounds like the police on the ground did their best but as expected with amount of violence, with numbers, as it grew, they became stressed. they got tired. they, didn't have the numbers that they needed. this is where hopefully today can turn out differently than yesterday. david: you do have the national guard coming in, of course you have a thousand of them. will that primarily be to relieved fatigued police or can they do something the police couldn't do? >> wealth national guard,
4:50 pm
particularly in state active duty status which is what these guard troops are in, being called up by the governor, will be able to perform law enforcement activity but they are deployed directly in support of the maryland state police and the baltimore city police. so they are there to shore them up. they are there to assist them. hopefully to provide a deterrent as the people on the street see the enhanced presence, they see their fellow citizens in uniform there, protecting lives, protecting property. that deterrence will take effect. we've also seen, in the past, that just having the guard present, in also provide a calming effect. david: yeah. >> on people. david: just wondering if the guard, it is too late to second-guess anybody. if the guard had been there yesterday, do you think that cvs would have survived? >> i'm sure they could have helped but there is a process for calling the guard.
4:51 pm
really, until the local situation puts the stress on local law enforcement, there is no, no reason really to call out the guard. so, when a local event does get to the point where the local law enforcement or first-responders can not handle it completely, then the american request that the governor declare a state of emergency and bring in the guard to help. david: life in baltimore is really being altered tremendously. not just, it wasn't just the cvs in contradiction to what the president was implying today, there were 15 businesses that were burned. there were over 100 vehicles that were burned. as i mentioned before, other things, perhaps little things in comparison but baltimore orioles game will be played without an audience tomorrow. i mean, extraordinary changes in the life of folks from baltimore. how long do you think before they get back to normal? how long will the national guard have to stay there, stay there
4:52 pm
to allow that to happen? >> well, it is tragic that there has been so much destruction, that that community is going to have to live with and have to rebuild. i think how long will be answered by the community themselves. depending how much they can get out and rebuild, how much help can be given to them by the state and, by the federal government, perhaps. the guard's job is to protect lives and property, to help local law enforcement. i know the maryland guard is proud to be a part of the community. they come from communities around the state. david: right. >> they will be there as long as they're needed. david: yeah. we have to go by the way, but i just, that must mean something, when you see a national guardsmen there who is from the community, there is an identity you may not have with the police. >> absolutely. and the guard is proud to be a part of that. david: martha rainville, former
