7:10 am
bubble that was poised to burst. >> can the government stabilize it? >> they are injecting 8.5 billion dollars in the smarkt and relaxing rules around financing and telling snedsersinsiders if you own stock in a company, you can't sell and they will punish anyone what that is ma maliciously trying to be a short teller right now. >> what does it mean for the u.s.? >> i don't think it means very much. notwithstanding the fact that china is the world's largest economy now, but the bigger issue is the u.s. economy is growing at a slow albeit steady pace. corporate america is in great shape. and our stock market has been on a very strong run and it let off a little steam. we saw it at the interest rates going up but, more or less, corporate america is doing really well. >> i guess i find it interesting is that beijing's effort to stabilize their stock market is not working.
7:11 am
>> at the end of the day, the one thing about beijing, they do a lot to manipulate. you never know what is going on because the government has such a strong hand in everything. at the end of the day, stocks trade based upon fundamentals. and that is what we will have to see, what are the fundamentals of those chinese businesses? >> if you have an economy as big as china's, will not a slow then not economy, and the lessening of command for worldwide products affect a lot of other economies who are connected? >> and that is the big question. that is what everyone has their eye on what is going on in china. but, again, what is the real growth number? we hear it's 7%. you don't ever really know. we will know in terms of how it does show up in terms of demand and everyone is watching that very very carefully. >> mellody hobson thank you, joining us from chicago morning. president obama is wrapping up a five-day visit to africa. the president is expected to

rape. 'didn't mean it in a criminal sense. according to mak, trump's lawyer responded you cannot rape your spouse and very clear case law. 1993, marital rape was illegal in all 50 states to be clear. mak says the lawyer also made threats and insulted him. the senior congressional correspondent for "the daily beast" is with us from washington. good morning. >> good morning. >> why did you decide to look into these allegations? >> i think it was important to look into, especially since donald trump launched his presidential campaign, making insults about mexico immigrants saying that they were quote, rapists. so it was a little bit relevant to look into his past and see exactly what might have been said about him on that topic in his personal life. >> how did mr. trump's lawyer respond when you asked these questions? >> i think it started off a little bit -- they were trying to say the allegation was not made in a criminal sense like you mentioned.
7:34 am
then it ended in insults and threats and threats of lawsuits and telling me to tread lightly and to say whatever lawsuit that they might file against me would be disgusting. it evolved pretty quickly. >> at what point did it take a turn? tim, you reached out to the campaign and you heard back from a lawyer. did that surprise you? >> yeah, that surprised me a lot. i've dealt with a lot of campaigns. very rarely does it get this acrimonious and so quickly. i've never reached out to a campaign looking for a story and heard back from the lawyer. >> cbs reached trump's lawyer for a comments and have not heard back. a source said nobody speaks for mr. trump but mr. trump. do they have a point? should trump be held accountable for people who may or may not spoke for him? >> i think trump should be held accountable for this allegation. he should be asked pretty directly what he thinks of it and how he would like to
7:35 am
respond. i think also that trump's lawyer has represented him on a number of occasions in front of the news media, so it's very obvious that trump has had no problem with michael cohen, his special counsel, speaking on his behalf in the past. >> missouri senator claire mccaskill tweeted most shocking part of it trump's lawyer think it's okay to rape your spouse. how do you think this gets played out in the campaign? >> the it's very interesting. their response to an allegation made in the '90s about an incident described as rape was that hey this is not criminal not least because it's not illegal to rape your spouse. there is no such thing. that has not been true in the state of new york for 30 years. over 30 years. very strange. especially coming from someone who is supposed to be knowledgeable about legal affairs is your lawyer. >> when confronted, donald trump
7:36 am
and his mo in the past seem to attack back. how concerned are you about it coming your way? >> i think trump needs to be held accountable and asked direct questions. i'm not at all concerned what might be coming my way. i think he should be asked a few hard questions whether he agrees with his lawyer's interpretation of law which is wrong, that spousal rape exists and it's not illegal. >> tim mac, thank you very much. >> thank you. this morning, we have a fascinating look inside the business of treasure hunting. a family found $1 million in gold and other artifacts off the florida coast. the treasure is from a fleet of ships that sank 300 years ago this week. vladimir shows us the historic find. vaed, good morning. >> good morning. the schmitts family says gps technology helped them track the area they evacuate under the water but it took hard work to
