and then when i talked to him i was like, kevin. "hi, mom, this is kevin." he just sound so good. it was just beautiful. it sounds like my son. that's my son. >> reporter: kevin was free. but how? >> it's the craziest turn of my life probably. i didn't think it was ever going to happen. >> reporter: here he is, kevin lunsmann. now 20-years old. and this is his amazing story. which began a moment before the kidnappers took his mom away, when she leaned forward and whispered in his ear. >> i remember her words exactly. she said, "you have to get home to your father. you have to go back home." and that made me realize that she might be thinking that she may not make it tonight. >> that she might be taken away to be killed? >> yes. i just wanted to cry. and i didn't -- i didn't want to lose her. >> reporter: soon after that they took his cousin away too. >> after he left i was alone. there was nothing more. it was just me. >> reporter: 14 years old. all alone. in that dark room in the jungle. when he finally slept, he had a dream. >> we're in a two-story house.

kevin: i am kevin cirilli.k: in virginia, prosecutors expect to rest their case in the financial fraud trial of president trump's former campaign manager paul manafort. they have been trying to show that he obtained millions in bank loans fraudulently. two prosecution witnesses have been granted immunity. recesss ellis called a until 1:45 without explanation and warned jurors not to ask -- discussed the case with anyone. international community is expressing outrage after yesterday's saudi led airstrike in northern yemen. it killed at least 50 people, more than half of them children. the you and children's fund called for an end to a recent spate of violence targeting civilians. >> the single worst attacks since 2015. no such number of children have been involved before. >> every day children are starving, children are dying because of the violence and its consequences. mark: the un's secretary-general investigation"" into the incident. miami dolphins players kenny stills and albert wilson are seen here kneelin

jonathan: kevin?: it has been domestically driven on the buy side but the like of selling from china and japan is the reason we are not so much higher. turkey, russia is selling u.s. treasuries, it is not a big deal. only when you get into the top two or three sellers is it going to drive yields higher. jonathan: high yield is trading to its tightest in investment grade in the united states. i think for this cycle. your view on that chart and how you think this plays out from here. >> so, in the context that we are slowly getting less and less bullish rather than more and more bearish, we would be selling u.s. high-yield here. but it is a case of, maybe rebalancing your portfolio to quality from lower quality stuff, to recognize the high leverage position that a lot of these companies are in, and it is that 2020 story of a real slowdown in growth in the u.s. that worries me around that. it is a trade that we will be doing all next year. jonathan: it seems to be that could be the trade for a lot of peo

kevin: you don't know?i don't know what evidence he has, but the information document states that there were campaign officials that we don't know the identities of. the prosecutors have not told us all that they have that led to this statement by michael. kevin: reportedly your client, michael cohen, who pleaded , did notesterday reach a cooperation deal with the prosecution. why not? lanny: i'm not sure i know the answer to that. if it seems like i don't know a lot, it's because the criminal lawyer negotiated with the prosecutors and not myself. to me is a distinction without a difference because he has authorized me to say that he is 100% going to tell the truth to whoever asks him. that is the functional equivalent of cooperation. i'm not sure what the distinction is between cooperation and telling the truth to whoever asks. kevin: do you think it's because they want to see if he will cooperate with the special counsel? why?you don't, lanny: i know that michael co. one is willing to cooperate with anyon

kevin: i'm kevin cirilli in washington, d.c. by mike papantonio , the senior partner of levin papantonio. he's leveraging more than 15% of the u.s. population involved in litigation against big drug companies, suing them for their $200 billion lawsuit for their involvement in the opioid epidemic. we've interviewed lawmakers on the left and right. they all say opioid addiction is a problem. what role the you think these drug companies played in this issue? isst: bottom of the line since 2001, the opioid crisis has cost the country over $1 trillion. those costs have now risen to $500 billion a year starting in 2015. the reason that's important to the people watching this program is because taxpayers are now having to foot that bill. in other words, you have companies like mckesson and purdue, these manufacturers and distributors, making $24 billion a year, and they left the country with this mess. and now taxpayers have to clean it up unless we succeed in court and we show that they have got to pay for this disaster they left. kev

kevin: a great question.specifically asking for is to note what they are calling inconsistent practices that are unfair and discourage talented and highly skilled individuals from pursuing career opportunities in the united states. that,tter goes on to say because of a shortage of green cards, many employees are stuck in an immigration process lasting more than a decade. they say that u.s. citizenship and immigration services has issued several policy things that will go towards inconsistent adjudication. there are calling for policy changes and being critical of what has become a contentious debate charged by the political policies proposed from this administration and on the issue of immigration policy. vonnie: we will keep our eye on this. thanks to kevin cirilli. let's get to the stock of the brands dragging on the s&p 500, they own the tory secret. -- the tory a secret -- the ictoria's- v sigrid. -- secret. >> shares down and the cut the forecast for the second time, third quarter, they have v ictoria's

kevin: it makes sense.you are a political official, wealthy, influential, have power, you will always be targeted by a criminal element for espionage purposes. emily: we'll would you say is the extent of these disinformation campaigns? how difficult is it to stop? kevin: i think it is very difficult to stop. it will take defense for many different folks which is good why we are talking about it on bloomberg. the more people aware, the more people will spot it. is easier for the folks trying to be divisive to spread fake news. spread fake-- to news, to do that, rather than to spread it. if we can see it and is organized, we hope to make a difference. emily: what should we be looking for? my inboxes filled with spam everyday. hundreds of twitter messages that are fake and suspect. kevin: everybody can play the role. give certain credibility to certain things and less credibility to others. in general, most people do not want to be surrounded by lies. they want to be surrounded by truth. when you see sites goi

we are joined by kevin cirilli live on capitol hill. in theory, that could go into effect next month. kevin: yes, it could go into effect as soon as next month. business communities and republican lawmakers making their case known to the administration to do not want this to go through. let's pull up what specifically the tariffs would be, 25% versus 10% on $200 billion worth of goods. it would impact everything from industry,nd poultry seafood, fruits and vegetables, and some other goods. china is saying they are completely ready to retaliate. the china ministry of commerce saying -- "china is fully prepared and will have to retaliate to defend the nation's dignity and interest of the people." they go on to say "they want to defend the common interest of all countries." this is interesting because they are trying to say, wait a minute, to the united states. they want to form a coalition of their own. the u.s. is signaling, saying they believed they had the upper hand with regards to china, pointing to the gdp growth in the second quart

still with a, kevin guinness. george. and luke. kevin, i want to begin with you.hey call out with pimco. talk about how they turned caution defensive in one of the big funds. my question is i hear this a lot about turning cautions and defensive. then i reconcile that with what is done really well. fixed income. how do you make sense of that? >> i think whatever they say about caution in -- and defensive is how is happening in the current market. especially with the long end of the curve. investors are willing to take a lot more credit risk. it has been a yield play for the last two years anyway. you offer me a twitter 5% for two years in turkey. the reason yous want get cautious and defensive. convertibles doing really well. triple c doing pretty well. relative to what investment. it is now the time to get defensive and go elsewhere. and some money. >> yes. but really slowly. we have been selling rallies rather than buying beds. the process is going to continue doing it. a lot of the trades at works the last 10 years are running out of steam. the long financials t

kevin: it is remarkable. it is like we tucked the country into bed and gave them a glass of warm milk. there is so much anger and division. people are longing for a story about a man who is inherently decent and good. the nastiest e-mails we have gotten said, "he was a lousy president but he has been a good ex-president, he is a good man, i will give you that." jane: he did only rve one term. what do you think his legacy will be? will it be this time or will it be his presidency? kevin: that may change over time. i think rightpl now pwill remember his post-presidency much more because he has been remarkable. the carter center in atlanta, he has worked on democracy and human rights and public health issues all around the country, and through habitat for humanity he and rosalynn have won 4300 houses in 43 countries. -- in countries. 14it is just rarkable. they told us they did a recent remodel on their house and the two of them got their hammers out and knocked down a break from -- a bedroom wall by themselves

kevin: absolutely.tarted to get more portfolio insurance. as the white chart goes up, you start to see people hedge the portfolios more and more, which makes sense because as it comes down, it's cheaper to hedge the portfolio. this makes sense going into september because it tends to move the macro markets more than earnings season. abigail: in terms of the skew index spiking higher, you think it is simply a hedge against the fear index being so low as opposed to a bet on macro events going haywire? kevin: absolutely. after earnings and people are worried about the macro shocks that can happen and this is a great time to put on insurance. you would rather do it at low volatility as opposed to 17 or something along those lines because that means your portfolio goes down in value. sticking with your theme of earnings, home depot boosted the outlook and somehow the stock is down right now. talk us through your trade. erik: in times -- kevin: in times like this, they are looking to add distribution centers

good stuff, kevin has sit from the white house. we're moving to the panel. we're joined by kristina partsinevelos, moody's chief economist, john lonski, and with us brandywine portfolio manager jack mcintyre. want to get to all sorts of top i cans with the three of you with tesla. john lonski, react to kevin hassett about the economic growth and the sustainability about the boom we're in, what do you think? >> he is right. growth in the third quarter will be above 3%. may not quite make it to 4% i think we'll continue to see jobs creation proceed at a healthy pace. that will lend important support to consumer spending telling me going forward we're more likely to get upside surprises with retail sales and consumer spending as opposed to opposite. connell: in the mid of all this, kristina, that tesla stock price is really getting hammered. it is down by your screen 9%. remarkable interview elon musk gave to the "new york times." later in the show we'll get some of the details, emotion of the interview, all this kind of thing that elon musk talked about, from

kevin: any time. stocks are onup, a historical run in funding round for startups are hitting record levels. is there too much money moving around in the market? could it soon dry up? we will discuss. if you like bloomberg news, listen on the radio on the bloomberg app, on bloomberg.com, and in the u.s., on sirius xm. this is bloomberg. ♪ emily: deal momentum is not slowing down. justin this week, slack closed a million dollar funding pushing the valuation to $7.1 billion. to gauge investor sentiment, i want to bring in the cohead of tech investment banking at rbc capital markets to talk about the broader landscape. it seems like there is so much money flooding into silicon valley in particular from all sources, whether it is softbank or private equity. expect this spout to continue? >> there have been record fundraising activity. you talk about traditional private equity. last year was a record year. way toar is on its another 300 billion of capital being raised. isis not just equity, and sovereign fu

kevin was a faculty in a moment time. kevin said, i'm going to engage my inner nerd for a a moment. we realized we had a shared inner nerd that has been the basis of our friendship ever since. i'm going to disagree with a couple of things you said particularly about the germans -- realism in film is a moving target. what was interested -- an interest to audiences in the 1920s is a laugh today. in the original "dracula," when the monster came on, people fainted in the audience. when you see it today, it's grainy and not particularly frightening. there's a realistic representation of the war and people poke fun at it today. but cinema and technicolor and 3d has always been in search of ever higher levels of realism in filmmaking. since the premiere in 1998, "saving private ryan" has become kind of an exemplary version of what it means to generate realism in hollywood. we usually point to the opening -- the opening 28 minutes. we sometimes forget the opening scene is an old man in a cemetery. and what people mean is the actual physical re-creation of the landing. the opening 25-minute

kevin and i have had a nerd conversation about this. from what i'm read it's built on a t-34 chassis. i think you're right about that, kevin. a soviet chassis. apparently the height and angle of the guns, the things that are just right about that. but again, that's a quibble. how many operational tiger tanks, the german tank from 1944, how many are left in the world today? kevin? is there a number? >> six or less. >> six or less. i think there was one in fury -- was there not one employed in fury? this was a tank so heavy for 1944 and '45, it was underpowered, it overtaxed the transmissions. the transmissions tended to break down within hours of the tank engaging in action. and the statistic i heard over dinner last night with my good friend kevin farrell, for every hour of action a tiger tank was in the field, 11 or 12 hours of maintenance and repair were required. if you were a movie with a lot of tiger tanks, you have to make that yourself and will almost certainly have to use cgi because they simply don't exist. i've heard talk abou

kevin: absolutely. scarlet: you didn't want to compromise? kevin: absolutely not.bout making it palatable? kevin: i would do book clubs and 80% of my readers are caucasian americans and every time i mentioned the story of the producer wanting to change the hair went to a lycra, people screamed and they were telling me, why does hollywood consistently think we only want to see brad pitt or reese witherspoon in a movie? we do not, we want the variety, we want original stories and ideas. and i think hollywood is beginning to see how that can succeed with "black panther" -- scarlet: do you think there is an element of exoticism in your story? kevin: no, but for a lot of people in the west, this is an exotic world and it is a world that they know nothing about. that was part of my goal, to eliminate this part of the world and make it less exotic. scarlet: you have a naked cast in front of -- you have an amazing cast in front of the camera. talk about the team. kevin: it was from all over the world. we filmed on location in malaysia, and most of the crew was from malaysi

let's go to kevin cirilli and this is another story developing by the minute. what do we know about what michael cohen could now potentially share of the knowledge of the present of collusion or hacking before the election. >> i asked this to lanny davis when i interviewed him and he was very evasive in terms of saying what exact evidence his client, michael cohen, would be willing to provide. he did say that they are actually expanding their investigation potentially into the trump organization. take a listen. >> yes, the trump organization was responsible for initiating the idea of paying off stormy daniels and karen mcdougal to keep them quiet. >> this goes beyond the issue of the russian hacking, but also would suggest to was involved as regards to the payment of these two women who had alleged sexual marital affairs. the president is stating the money came from his personal account and not from campaign finance violation. emily: should we expect cohen to be speaking with mueller steam at this point? kevin: he said he will fully cooperate with whenever -- w

not just our election, -- kevin: but all over europe.follow up on this point because within the last day, facebook now saying they have proof of outside groups trying to influence even midterms and there are more reports. are we doing enough to protect our midterm elections? social media companies doing enough? sen. portman: well, no. [laughter] we need to do more, and congress has appropriated an unprecedented amounts of money to help the states to be able to be better prepared to deal with it. that is important, but it goes beyond just elections. we need to be sure we are pushing back against the propaganda and disinformation. there is a group at the state department called the global engagement center now up and running. a democrat and i have been pushing this legislation. i commend mike pompeo because he is using this tool. the idea there is to push back against the disinformation. kevin: the actual thickness. sen. portman: including -- the actual fake news. sen. portman: including not just in ukraine, but across europe.and central t

let's bring back ozzie and kevin. kevin, let's start with you. i know the numbers are constantly changing, but what indicators are you looking at when the races kick into full gear? >> a couple things. if you look at the special elections in terms of last week and the primaries, two trends. first and foremost, more female candidates elected. secondly, the democrats, arguably, would have the enthusiasm factor and i speak with republicans who told me that, dara. there is another story, the issue of nancy pelosi and should the democrats take back control of the house, whether or not she holds on to claim her speakership. that's something that has divided democratic candidates on the campaign trail this cycle. >> ozzie, your take on this? james clyburn is saying he will run for speaker if pelosi fails. they bolster the arguments for keeping pelosi. >> it's the democrats coming in. openly saying they want to see who seelse is out there. tles a generational change happening. clyburn, well respected, but older. the democrats may want to see something di

>> look, i think kevin makes some very fair points. if you look at apple's major product, ipod, ipad and mac, over time, they have premium prices they all sell at 2 to 2 1/2 times the average market price but generally speak, those revenues have been flat to down over the last several years. apple is carving outside the high end to iphone the iphone sales have more than four times the average price of global smartphones and so the question is, you know, is this an exception every apple product and almost every other consumer electronics product prices go down and margins generally go down. and it's unclear when that debate will go away. because there's always going to be the worry that it will inex orably drive down prices and innovate price that's why i do think it's difficult to get multiple expansion. i think our feeling good about the stock in the near term is really driven by earnings power. because if you're buying back 6% or 8% of shares, and even though apple is growing and you have 6% in wearables on top of that, you can get a

we had a chance to speak to kevin's coach. he tells us it's hard to believe it happened to someone who was well-liked. >> just a great young man, high irited. alwa made you laugh. always had us laughing. plr police believe there are more people out there who know what happened to a kevin ao involved in his death. they're hoping people come forward and have a cash reward to sell the house as soon as possible. justin finch, news had. >> justin, thank you. >>> it's 6:06. too close to call. h that's things stand in a closely watched congressional race in ohio. ohio's 12th district has bee reliably red for more than a decade. this morning, republican troy balderson leads by fewer than 2,000 votes. at least 3,000 provisional ballots still need to be counted and confirmed. as soon as that happens, we'll let youn nowe nbc washington app. >>>ot it was anr dramatic day of testimony in the trial of had president trum former campaign manager. rick gates told the jury that he made a fake dumts to help manafortanet bank he testified that wh

kevin, you first? >> democrats are going to say whether or not they win or lose, it is closer than anyone hoped. >> sean, what about you? what do you think "the washington post's" headline will be? >> if the democrats win the election, really there's going to be a lot of worry about november from republicans. we have seen time and again in special elections, republicans losing or performing poorly in districts and states where under ordinary conditions they should be doing well. if they lose another one, you are going to hear a lot of alarm bells among republicans in washington. >> how much of a wake up call would it be for republicans if they lose the congressional seat? >> i think it would be a significant wake up call. if i'm being honest, we are going to talk more about the tuesday election on lebron james and how that factored into this. you know, lebron is lebron. >> and it's ohio. >> i know. >> sean will stay with us. we are going to talk about a possible change in congress. >> yes. >> stay with

joe: kevin, talk to us about the politics about this.we have an election coming up in several weeks. is this a concern for the republicans or is this scene as trump's legal issue and it is to separate people they are going to try to distance and ultimately this is not the thing people will vote on? >> from the republican perspective, we've not seen much in the polls, but you have to look at the democrats. the enthusiasm, particularly as we monitor the special elections, the resurgence of the political left base that has .een really outperforming even republican lawmakers are concerned about how the left has shown up at the polls, particularly in the special election. reports like this, one could make the case this could be added impetus to democrats to get to the polls ahead of those midterm elections. i think there are certain news days where you have to take a step back and really look at the moment you are in. when the president's longtime personal attorney and fixer is pleading guilty for taking instruction of a candidate to withff a

honestly. # kevin de bruyne. sing it, itjust came, and everywhere i come, they sing it. sing it, itjust came, and everywhere i come, they sing itm must be nice, though. it is good. when people love me the way they do, and the way they support me, it is a lwa ys and the way they support me, it is always nice. even yesterday, i didn't even kick on—ball in the season, and they were singing it. so it isa season, and they were singing it. so it is a big deal, it means i am doing well as a person, that people appreciate me, and that i am doing my best for the team. well, there is some bad news for city fans, in that kevin de bruyne was injured in training on wednesday. the begium midfielder has damaged a knee. he attended the premiere of the city film on crutches, and could be out for several months. the chelsea and nigeria winger victor moses has announced his retirement from international football. the 27—year—old played 37 times for his country, scoring 12 goals, but says he now wants to focus on his club career. en

kevin de bruyne has suffered a knee injury in training with manchester city.ing tests to find out the full extent of the problem. but there are reports that he could be out for around two months. it's the same knee to which an injury saw him have an extended lay off, in early 2016. if he does miss the next eight weeks or so, he could be out for the start of city's champions league campaign and potentially the important match against liverpool on october 7. city will play huddersfield at the ethiad on sunday. well, speaking of de bruyne and city, have a look at these pictures. sit down and! nobody talk, sit down! that is pep guardiola, showing just how feisty a dressing room can be. it's from a behind—the—scenes documentary out this week which documents the highs and lows of manchester city's record—breaking season, most points, most goals. here's kevin de bruyne being mobbed by his city team mates after scoring the winner against chelsea. in the beginning, is a little bit weird, you don't know the people you're working with. but after time, you're working with

congressman kevin? we are here with congressman swallow. talking a lot about trade, what did you hear from folks in iowa? : farmers get that china is a problem for the united states. they cheat, they dump steele, but they are also darting to feel the pressure of the tariffs .etaliating against them they are willing to give the president a little bit of leeway . however, a lot of them have old me they want to know what the strategy is and why we are not working more with our allies. allies are victim is -- victims as well. taking on china one-on-one, not clear that will achieve anything. kevin: what do you think the strategy should be? with ourwell: work allies. we have allies across the world but also have issues with china and we should pressure on them that way. just going one-on-one like this, seems like a president is being a little the childish without an endgame in mind. these farmers, the mantra is trade, not aid. they don't want some sort of handout as a short-term fix. kevin: i cannot believe t
