6:00 am
i'm jamie colby for "strange inheritance." thanks so much for watching, and remember -- you can't take it with you. see you tomorrow, everyone. >> it is a very bad situation, it's a very teenagers situation and it will not continue, that i can tell you. dagen: tensions rising but stocks stabilizing, snapping a three-day losing streak on friday as the turmoil with north korea puts wall street and main street on edge. to what does it mean for your money and our economy? hi, everybody, i'm dagen mcdowell, this is bulls and bears, the bulls and bears this week, gary smith, john along with morgan ortegus and capri.
6:01 am
john f tensions flair up should we be worried about markets and economy that would potentially get knocked down? >> yes, we should. simply the markets, in april baron did excellent analysis of conflicts since 1980, conflicts of day one, once military conflict got involved. it's telling what's going on. it started with grenada, panamá and later libya. the month leading up to, the market is down and the six months after, if military action is involved, six months, first day of bombing, the market is up 7.2% as compared to average and the market what it's doing is uncertainty before something that happens. you cannot have anymore uncertainty right now. you have a guy in north korea who is an absolute loose cannon with a nuclear threatening to
6:02 am
bomb guam, whatever that is we will see turmoil. dagen: gary, b., do you think you'll see that in the coming weeks and months of uncertainty, potential selloff in the market? >> well, i think is john is right i don't think grenada is not similar, they didn't have nuclear weapons as extensively north korea does. the better parallels is the cuban missile crisis, but even then that lasted about two weeks before anyone on this panel was even before but i was in grade school and the market went down about 5%, 5%, that's not much. now the market is only down about 1% or so, in fact, as you mention it, leveled out on friday but here is the thing, after that was resolved, the market was up in the next four years, 75%, it nearly doubled in the next four years. look, if there are missiles
6:03 am
fired, all bets are off. who knows what's going to happen. but if there are not and the chances that this will get resolved one way or another, it probably at the end of this which will probably last no more than a week or so, i'm still bull you shall on the market. despite the selloff after the markets reopened, 684 points in the first day of trading, the dow was back to where it was before the 9/11 terror attacks but early november of that year. our economy came out of a recession in november of that year, so, again, there is always resill -- reciliency. i think you can attribute to words and action. 20,000, i think that investors were likely looking for a reason to selloff and certainly the rhetoric gave them that reason, the bigger fear for the market
6:04 am
is not actually what's going on between the u.s. and north korea but instead what happens in congress, i think if congress can't get tax reform through and get can't obamacare through, i think that's going to hurt the markets much more than the short-term geopolitical tension that we are seeing around the world. dagen: rising of a mishap of not raising the debt ceiling. talk about north korea, you're trying to place bets or make investments based on the wildly unpredictable behavior of kim jong un, a madman. >> well, i don't think the stock market, the stock market is a great mechanism for what's going on discounting the future, measuring recession and interest rates and i don't think it factors in doomsday scenarios. i didn't in the cuban missile, that was a lot, a whole other level than north korea. ic personally and maybe the market thinks this is world war
6:05 am
ii army could beat north korea pretty clearly even with a couple of nukes that aren't accurate. at the end of the day, you can't discount a doomsday scenario situation like when you get to war. when you get life insurance they don't get priced that you get hit by meteor, there's other things that are relevant. it's going to keep going on and get more technology and then they will have accident, it's going to be the kind of mishaps that almost happened with us in the soviet union many times, computer glitches, start a war by accident, this is not a regime that has act together like the soviet union did. we have to deal with that at some point. dagen: capri the backdrop at least as we deal with this growing threat from north korea is an economy that looks stable with unemployment incredibly low at multiyear low and more than a
6:06 am
million jobs created since president trump took office? >> well, i think we do node thoo put this entire thing into context, there's no question that there is a level of volatility and uncertainty within the market right now because of the obvious concerns surrounding north korea and nuclear capabilities, at the same time, we found ourselves the in all-time high, 22,000 on the dow, at one point, what goes up must come down a little bit and there's going to be a course correction, what we are seeing right now is a little bit of the fact that we were hiding historic skews and it was going to come back down regardless of what was going on in north korea, that north korea circumstance did add to volatility, the volatility index is, i think, at the highest at least since may, for example, and we are seeing some volatility and some downward spiral in the market not just in the dow but the ftse 100 out in britain, down roughly a hundred or so points.
6:07 am
so, you know, i think that we all need to take a deep breath as was said, nothing is prepared for doomsday scenario, but i think this is something that -- a bit of a course correction right now and things are going to be stabilized. dagen: gary b., perfect world, a democratic lawmaker talking about index. >> i did check out, it does pay out if i hit with a meteor and asteroid, i have to correct on that, if it wasn't north korea it would be something else. that said, this is kind of a situation that no one really has experience, we have been through
6:08 am
the gulf war and been through all of that other than going back to the cuban missile crisis, we've never had a dictator say, hey, i might nuke us, even cuba wasn't going to nuke us, they didn't have that technology. this is a dangerous situation, personally with at least part of my portfolio i'm on the sidelines. i'm more of a trader. dagen: john, i want to ask you before we go, give you the final word on this, what about the cost of us, the u.s. not acting and taking a tough stance against this -- this rising nuclear threat. >> we are going to have to do that sooner or later and might as well be now because this guy -- the nuclear armaments and
6:09 am
potentially could sell to get money. when world war ii veterans could defeat this guy, world war ii veterans, 80 year's old can bet this guy, their military is absolutely zero match for us, the only wild car are the nuclear weapons and at some point we have to address this. >> and potentially maybe a trade war with china, that was certainly part of the economic. thank you guys and gals. kennedy is filling in for neil, kennedy, what do you have? kennedy: fire, fury, many condemning message to kim jong un but someone hearsays they are scolding the wrong leader and if his party can't get things done, the party may reach across the aisle to cut taxes but would the deal with democrats backtrack on taxpayers. dagen: thank you, girl.
6:10 am
one gop lawmaker crying foul after protestors show up at his home, they did go too far. >> this is a partisan attempt to hijack quite frankly a meeting, hijack quite frankly a meeting, my h restlessness... extreme anxiety... pacing... a constant urge to move. if someone you know is suffering from schizophrenia they may also be struggling with akathisia: a common side effect of some schizophrenia medications. learn more at myakathisia.com.

6:13 am
6:14 am
dagen: protestors hitting a little too close to home for minnesota republican congressman jason lewis because they were literally at his home. he says that is way out of bounds but the group behind it says it is necessary because he will not hold town halls, gary, you think this went too far? >> absolutely. look, i think this is a slam dunk in the video the people are on his porch for crying out loud. if i'm the guy, i'm barricading myself in the house because you
6:15 am
know what happens if he steps outside, someone throws a brick at him or hits him over the head, it's a dangerous situation. as much as we malign senators and congressmen, my god, this guy is in a tough spot. are people allow today protest, they have to find a middle ground other than coming on to the man's property where they should all be arrested. dagen: morgan, way too far because the first amendment covers the freedom of speech but not on someone's private property? >> right, it's not just the congressman and his family that they were disturbing is his innocent neighbors, they are in a neighbor. most people probably watching this that are on the panel will think it's out of line but it is sort dangerous when you look at the fact that there was a livestream of sean spicer's house whenever he resigned as press secretary. i know sean well, he has two small children. of course, we know what happened at the baseball field. members of congress, members of the senate, they don't go around with security and so, you know,
6:16 am
maybe he didn't have anything to be worried about but how do you know, this time is an elderly person, how do you know who it is next time. it's clearly out of loin and the organizer of the protest said she would do it again, democrat leaders need to come out and say, hands off, we are not going in people's porches, there needs to be a line of common decency. >> can i jump in here, i may be the only person that has actually held office on the panel right now, part of being a public certify vapts means you are just that, you're on duty 24/7. i certainly feel for the member of congress and you have -- he has an argument people trespassing on property. i was in office for ten years, i was followed into the ladies room, i've been stopped at the gas station, i've been stopped at the grocery store. i've been talked to at the gym. there's no bounds that folks have and frankly these people are our boss and if you ran into your boss at the grocery store you wouldn't, you know, ignore
6:17 am
them, you would have to talk to them. >> there's a big difference -- >> there's a big difference between that and somebody come to your lawn, i don't dispute that, however, when you're a public servants these are some of the risks you take on. dagen: at what point do we put a stop to this and stop putting people's lives at risk potentially because somebody is upset about medicaid cuts that haven't even been passed. >> i'm not sure that gives you anymore inside into this than just observing and approval rating of public office i'm not sure i would be bragging about it either. the problem that you have with these guys, the freedom of speech and not freedom of responsibility from that speech. what happened to the softball field is atrocious and disaster, this is a disgrace for these people. there's no reason, even with low approval rating to be in fear of
6:18 am
their lives or fear of their family lives because it's not just these people but there are a lot of mentally instable people and you start putting houses online. >> i've had people show up at my office, it happens. >> who cares if they did that? >> just because it happened it doesn't make it right. >> it's a risk you take when you take the oath of office. >> no, you don't take a risk of people coming to your property. there's a line. >> your address is public record. dagen: did these people cross the line? >> the last show we talked about the long vacation after watching the video does not seem to appealing to me anymore. i don't even like it when the pap razzy is staking out paris hilton's house, i think it's out of line. you definitely earn more public scrutiny when you are voting on things that are important to people and haven't worked out what plan b but that can be done
6:19 am
in public wherever you vote, it doesn't have to be at a house. again, it's like the pop razzy can follow paris hilton to the club but don't go to her house. dagen: it violates somebody's rights, thanks guys and gals, trish regan hosting cashing in. trish, what do you have going on. trish: hey, dagen, does the white house have any hope of stopping north korea if it doesn't stop the leaks? and new york city's subway crumbling, its liberal mayor wants to raise taxes, someone here said how about just cutting spending. cashin 'in. dagen:
