plus, we'll ask john rogers about today's selloff and whether this is a buying opportunity. and then renowned tech investor dan niles will join us to tell wlus today's tech wreck could be a red flag for the sector or whether he's buying. still with us to discuss the market today, hightower chief investment strategist stephanie link and mike santoli. i give the first comment to you on what damage we saw today to the tech trade >> it was mostly, i think, a pullback is the way you're characterizing what is going on in tech and large cap growth certainly severe in a one day basis. definitely sluggish over the past couple of weeks it tried to essentially kind of consolidate a little bit after the huge sprint to the upside. the pure value part of the s&p 500 was up .6% today a lot of people are saying there really should abe a convergence of growth and value. it happened today. yet, there is a sacrifice on the top line of the market that's the way the math is going to work if you get -- interestingly though with the jobless claims that were a disappointment this morning, sara, and

john rogers is one of my best friends and melody hobson and they really focus a lot on blacks on korpcorporate boards i don't. i focus more on what these corporations are doing with their largesse in our city with the youth. penny invited me over to her home because several corporations started talking about recruiting youth from the junior colleges. city colleges. folks with aa degree as opposed to going and recruiting bachelor degrees. folks in the junior colleges in urban areas tend to be minority. i sat and i cheered penny who put this together. then i cheered the corporations and then i talked to the folks in our city about having more corporations begin to put these programs in schools for youth. i know where you're going. i have not ever been able, scott, and i'm trying, to find the correlation between blacks on the board of directors and a company doing more for blacks and african-americans. i haven't seen it. if you ask me if i think we're going to see african-americans promoted up, cfos, coos, ceo, i don't think this moment is about that i think this moment is about what the corporat

joining me to discuss is john rogers, chief financial officer at aerial investments and former chair uncil on financial capability. he is of course a biden supporter. john, thank you so much for joining us. so much of this plan focuses on boosting small businesses. that is so important. but isn't it a little bit naive, considering right now the impact of this pandemic, the economic impact is pushing us to a place where six months from now we might not even have small business in america? >> i think we will be back. this plan is the right plan. we really have to strengthen small businesses because we know small businesses employ so much of america, so many of our diverse employees work for smaller companies around this nation. build back better is critical, and crucial and it's so great that vice president biden is talking about it. >> this pandemic has put a magnifying glass on so many deep rooted inequalities that existed in this country, but it's also widened the gap. in your mind, how much worse is the inequality situation than it was six months ago? >> well, it's significantly wor

in a letter to john rogers, the assistant secretary of the university, wilson wrote, the whole temporary and tradition of the place is such that no need is ever applied for admissions, and seems unlikely the question will ever seem practical reform. five years leader wilson translated his philosophy into a more practical form when he responded directly to macarthur sullivan, an african-american applicant. it is altogether inadvisable for a colored man to enter princeton. someone intent on splitting hairs might say wilson was not denying blacks into princeton, not like what we would see in the height of the civil rights movement when he denied entrance to the mercy of alabama. wilson's performances in these two quotes wewre a -- were a commitment to something more we have wilson quietly rewriting princeton's history and in the second, we find him ensuring princeton would remain a safe space for white students because of his own act of erasure. rewriting history. wilson had been part of princeton's dna since his undergraduate years. while policy was deeply involved in student organizations

roger stone may be waiting for a pardon after the election. john, i don't like it would have lived that long, not with my asthmatic condition and now 60 covid-19 cases in the present. it is not a reason to commit someone sentence? >> i don't take as a reason to commute a sentence and i don't have a brief for roger stone. that's his guideline sentence of nine years which ended up being something more like 40 months when the judge finally imposed it. but at the same time let's be real. the tendency throughout this country from sea t to to shining is the jailhouse stores being open on a can of coronavirus. there were hardened criminals being released all of the country and this guy would not have had a chance of being released simply because he is connected to trump which i think is also wrong. >> john: vermont senator pat lahey wants the department of justice to review the commutation suggesting that if that commutation was traded for a promise not to incriminate the president it would be a crime. recently surfaced information indicating the present

it's >> john: congresswoman elise stefanik joins us now. did he want roger stone to die in prison? dent it's about issues with the 21st congressional district. i have not advocated for any issues with the president and i believe constitutionally any issues, and i support the president's choice. i also think that this highlights how corrupt the space mueller investigation has been and it's disconcerting to people who see that top aides that are donating and actively working to campaigns for joe biden and these are also the same people who donated and actively campaign for hillary clinton. my focus is always on my district and ensuring -- >> john: but let me jump in if i could. roger stone claims that in a conversation with the president aboard air force one, he suggested that the president should wait until after the election before granting clemency, is that true? >> that is inaccurate and again i have not advocated on any part of any issues to the president. i always advocate for issues important to my district so the conversations with the president have been focused on support fo

here with their takes are seema mody and kate rogers papa john's is coming off on a high with the surge after their lows who would have thought pizza would be the last thing standing in a situation like this it's doing really well >> jon, it really is aside from just the stock performances that are very impressive, these are two of the very best performing restaurant stocks year to date. the other two are chipotle and wing stop focused on carryout and delivery if you look at hiring, that's been impressive, too both domino's and papa john's said they were looking at hiring delivery drivers there have been 8 million total layouts nationwide, and these two companies really hiring in a big way. a lot of people thought this would be a trend i don't think it's a trend right now because things are starting to deopen, as we've been calling it restaurants are closing back down people are turning to carryout and delivery big time. >> shdid shaq get into that big time >> we're also talking about pizza. pizza is very easy to divide i don't know if this is also a fundamental story. the reality is wh

john adams was from, that's right, massachusetts. mr. roger sherman, connecticut. robert r. livingston from new york. dr. franklin, pennsylvania. and mr. jefferson, virginia. i was the only one on the committee south of the line drawn by messrs. mason and dixon. now, we all hoped that dr. franklin would be the author. he was our mentor, our elder, but franklin, oh, he cared not to take on that responsibility. i think he replied, gentlemen, i care not for anything else i may write to receive the scrutiny of a committee. he looked at me, and it was mr. adams, john adams, who suggested i be the author. well, i said, "no, mr. adams, you must write it." he said, "oh, no, you must write it." i said, "no, you." and mr. adams replied, "i am generally considered obnoxious, disliked. no, you have quite the flair for fluid and felicitous writing. i think you should write it." "besides that," he said, "a virginian ought to be at the head of this business." you asked me what sources of thracian did i draw upon in drafting our declaration. firstly i would tell you that i write on this slo

. >> roger, it is john, good morning. respect to you as always for your voice and your perspective.oing to push back hard on you on this one. how can you say don't listen to silicon valley when you are silicon valley you're part of silicon valley, you call out reid hoffman and eric schmidt i get it, but reid hoffman has a very different business model. papal also a different business model. he is on the board of microsoft that took a different tact, i think you could argue, from the likes of facebook, of google, even amazon, et cetera and then apple is part of silicon value lain it had a very different voice about encryption and the use of customer data, you're saying, really, aren't you part of silicon valley, not all. >> i didn't write the headline, john the point that i'm making is, i believe that both eric schmidt and reid hoffman are brilliant people and incredibly successful and engage deeply in politics. and he has been a spokes man for blitzskin. growing companies as fast as possible caring more about speed and scale than efficiency or any other value. that has been the secr

it's "rapid fire" and joining me are dom chu, kate rogers and john sullivan. you just heard sue say papa john's is looking to hire 10,000 more people. the stock has been on fire, up 50%. compare it with mcdonald's it's flat. what's the main difference here? mcdonald's should be doing extremely well because of the drive-throughs, right? >> definitely we're waiting to hear from mcdonald's i think you've heard consumers gravitate toward delivery and carryout mcdonald's has a robust drive-through sales, but i think people are leaning very heavily right now on delivery, and that's why you've seen not one, but two, major hiring announcements from papa john's during the pandemic hiring 10,000 workers each time we've also heard from domino's and chipotle as people really tend to gravitate toward these names that have robust carryout and delivery systems the difference is that mcdonald's works with the agitators and papa john's does it on their own. >> should we rely on this carryout and delivery or the sandbox from within? >> if i was a mcdonald's franchise, i would t

john meecham. and nick ackerman who just wrote an op-ed on this piece and questioned roger stone in 1973. john, give us a history lesson. is this commutation different than others? >> i think it is. for the reasons even president nixon laid out there. it's as close -- here's a phrase, remember this from the thousand years ago, quid pro quo from a different galaxy. it's clearly a self-protective maneuver. the clemency power in the constitution is absolute. it was meant to be a check and a balance against other branches going too far. but in this case, you have a president who has insisted on the absolutist elements of his job and of his task. and has now used the constitution specifically to protect himself. >> but that's the thing, nick, even if it's the absolutist elements, the president is allowed to do it. so while he may be highly criticized or it stinks to the high heavens, is there anything anyone can do about it? >> well, unfortunately, nobody can do anything about it. but i would argue that this power is limited. it can't be that a president of the united states can grant clemency

he dispatched his chief lieutenant, john f.w. rogers to malaysia to get this done.to pay 2.5 billion in cash and 1.4 billion in guaranteed assets to make sure that the malaysian government gets the value that they believe they were entitled to. according to goldman's release they have done an analysis doesn't think they think they have a call on that guarantee. it is more than people thought it's important to get behind them more than they reserved for. that's the way these negotiations go. the most important thing was to get it behind them and now david solomon's done that. >> okay. let's move on to this wild story that clearly it looks like you've been working on for maybe over a year now. jide zeitlin who was running the parent company of coach looked like he was having a successful career but once you pealeled it back, bill, it was quite something else how did you get started working on it? maybe tell the audience what happened here. >> so last september, andrew, zeitlin was named the ceo of tap pest try, the parent company of coach. he had been on the board of

roger fisk, former obama administration staffer and former senior aide for former senator john kerry.entlemen, great to see you. roger, i will start with you, because the president is specifically looking at democrat-led cities. look, a democratic governor, cuomo, said you ought to displace bill de blasio. we've got some real problems in this democrat-led city of new york. what do you say? >> roger: well, harris, thanks so much for having me, and it's great to be hearing with david. i don't think i'm smart enough to get into the dynamic between the governor of new york and the mayor. that is some very complex, choppy waters right there. what i will say is obviously thertheloss of life is horrendo. what would be ideal would be a president that would see this as an opportunity for leadership. he has been present for 3.5 years, and last i checked, the seattles and the new yorks of this country are actually part of this country. he could roll up his sleeves and convene a working group, a series of conversations, and bring together faith leaders, community leaders, police, all the relevant

roger sherman, the guy in the middle, was largely window-dressing. sherman was a good man. john adams described him as being as honest as an angel. but roger sherman spoke and wrote like he was still in the 17th century, and his colleagues found him strange, if not weird. [laughter] that left john adams, a short lawyer who was an outspoken advocate for independence, and thomas jefferson, the tall, sandy-haired planter who had a reputation as a writer, but who had barely set a word on the congress floor so far. john adams later recalled that these two men actually bickered and argued about which one of them shouldn't do the work. [laughter] and who should lead the drafting. who should be the lead draftsman? and to reconstruct that exciting conversation, we are going to do some theater, live on c-span. i am going to call up two randomly-selected volunteers. chuck, catherine, could you come around? give them a round of applause as they come up. [applause] adams later wrote a reconstruction of the conversation, the bickering and arguing that supposedly happened between thomas jeffer

roger stone was brought into this witch hunt, this whole political witch hunt. >> john: president trumpntence of his longtime friend and advisor roger stone. this comes as a president faces blowback from both parties over the move. associate editor with the wall street editor. and, that was a commutation and not a pardon in this case? >> this was a friend of his and, had protected him in his own testimony. the president signaled that he would was unjustly prosecuted. and this allows roger stone to continue the appeal. and it will cost him a lot of money and he will have a hard time doing that. this is a charge and a conviction that even the attorney general barr has said was in his own words, righteous. >> john: i'm wondering if the commutation might have been from bar. he went to bat politically and expended some political capital, getting the sentencing guidelines for stone reduced. do you think there might have been some compromise here? >> they could have been. it's hard to say, but no matter what this will be immensely controversial. this was a person who was convicted of lying to

trygaeus suggesting that mr trump should commute his sentence and to date mr john finally did that which was basically payback for roger stone refusing to come clean about everything that he had done on behalf of the president to help him win the election in 26 roger stone is still officially guilty if you will because the sentence was it was commuted it wasn't pardoned we saw that shot cohen earlier this week being taken back to jail because he was let out of jail because of coronavirus but he was photographed eating a high end restaurants blagojevich earlier this year old so people are reminding remembering them mr flynt i mean is there a perception there that people who were close to donald trump who did something illegal are actually getting away with it. well absolutely if you are close to mr trump and you do something illegal that helps him then he will do everything he can to help you and make sure you go free if on the other hand you are not viewed as sufficiently loyal as in the example of michael cohen then you can go back to jail i mean it's very interesting that mr trump expressed so much concern about roge

roger stone is not a free man!" has the president acted legally in your estimation, bradley? >> he has the constitutional authority, i agree with johnn that, but this was a brazen, corrupt abuse of that pardon power. you got to give donald trump credit here, he has boldly gone where virtually no president has ever gone before. he is acting like a little mafia don. he has said this is my little foot shoulder, i don't care what my justice department said, i don't care what my jury said, that i don't care what the judges said, the sky covered up for me, this guy took the fall for me, and he didn't t me out, he didn't turn, so i'm going to reward my foot soldier at commute his sentence so he can go about his business despite the fact he committed white-collar felonies. donald trump does not care about the rule of law, he cares about protecting his own family and his friends. >> shannon: john, what about that? every president commute or pardon someone and there is controversy involved in some of the cases they do. they do it sometimes very carefully and on the way out the door. that wasn't the case here. roger stone was supposed to go to

recently, commuting the sentence of long-time political operative roger stone while his long-time fixer michael cohen heading back to jail. johnthe "reality check." >> the trump orbit has far more than the fair share of felons. many of them out of prison only after sucking up to the president. there's one notable exception, but first, the tale of the tape. campaign chairman paul manafort is a felon. michael flynn, a felon. roger stone is a felon and just the latest beneficiary of the presidential gift to loyalists. a commutation of his 40-month sentence. even though one of the prosecutors testified they had pressured to go easy on stone because of the relationship with president. he tampered with witnesses, he was the campaign's primary conduit to wikileaks and had hoped to be rewarded for not rolling over on trump. not even nixon rewarded the henchman this way. but from sheriff arpaio, to a navy s.e.a.l. court-martialed and to dinesh souza. only one is still actually in prison. that would be michael cohen. what makes him different? he spoke out against trump and now after a furlough is back in prison. why? some thing it was t

comey leaked confidential information and even john bolton who leaked classified information so the president sees the 2-tier justice system and things roger stone was unfair but i will leave the announcement to him. >> we will stand by for that. thanks for making time, good to see you. first the federal judge hearing the, prosecution against michael flynn defied the justice department motion to dismiss, not judge them at sullivan's the tying appeals court decision directing him to dismiss the case. what happens next for general flynn? >> add this to another of the unheard-of parts of this case, the judge lost in front of the appeals court and now his lawyer is appealing again. originally the judge appointed a lawyer to argue over dismissing the case against michael flynn. all unprecedented moves by the judge. quick recap, flynn pleaded guilty twice to line for the fbi about phone calls with russian ambassador in late 2016-early 2017 and was fired as national security advisor for lying but has recently become a rallying cry for those who accused the obama administration of using the justice department to go after trump officials they didn'

rogers. kind of a superstar, i think he's like john stewart, i don't we would compare him to. he had columns, he did acts. he made movies, he was very funny. and he came and he called mrs. coolidge his famous first female number one. and they had a whole courtship going, the rogers and the coolidge is. and then of course also charles lundberg, the flyer who had become a celebrity by going over to paris in that way. they hosted the lindbergh's at the house on dupont circle where they were while they were out of the white house of course they were with celebrities. >> a rare picture of calvin coolidge with a big smile on his face as he is standing at the charles lindbergh. >> and his mother. >> that was a very important moment because having grace went to a top at the budget bureau and left mrs. lundberg and they sort of plotted to get together charleston and narrow. so that was the beginning of that idea. >> another celebrity that they brought to the white house with someone that continued grace coolidge is passion with the death and that is helen keller. we have some film of h

roger stone because he thought he would be exonerated. that didn't happen. [ inaudible ] and what about the more than 1300 applications giving them a pardon? [ inaudible ] >> i have not update on john connors. it's not the case that only those who are politically connected get a pardon. this president did the first step act, has fought for those who are getting unduly harsh sentences nor than any democrat who liked to talk about it but never did it. when you compare the pardoning record of this president with past presidents, it's quite striking that he has given 36 pardons, president obama gave 1,937. when you look at the nature of the pardons like under president clinton, talk about politically connected pardons. he pardoned his brother, mark rich, who gave $450,000 to the clinton library, donated $1 million to democratic campaigns and he gets a pardon. so this president has used it sparingly and focused on criminal justice reform, helping to rectify racial disparities. >> i have a follow up. this is from jackson richmond. what is the president's stance on israel wanting to apply sovereignty to part of the west bank -- [ inaudible ] >> i have no update today on the current status

roger brooke taney. jackson appoints taney to the supreme court to succeed the famous john marshall. for more than 20 years taney had been chief justice of the united states supreme court. it is to tanaey's court that the dred scott case comes, he's argued and heard and on merchandimarch 6, 1857, a decision is handed down. it's a clear-cut majority decision, 7-2, and the opinion in this case is written by taney himself. what does he say? he says basically two things. dred scott must stay a slave because he has no standing to sue in federal court. it's a question of jurisdiction. this is a technicality but it's an important technicality. taney writes, the question before us is whether the class of persons described in the plea and abatement compose a portion of his people. we think they are not. and that they are not included and were not intended to be included under the word citizens in the constitution and can there claim none of the rights and privileges. so taney's first answer in the dred scott case is a no to dred scott on the basis that dred scott is first of all a slave and s

roger stone's sentence. it's hard to think of a more perfect example of self-dealing than that. >> john, this president continues to use the levers of power and the justice department to protect himself and his cronies. punish the people who speak out. or try to reign him in. isn't this what you see from authoritarian regimes? >> in a word, yes. but he is using the powers of our presidency and the constitution to get away with it. but no president has abused his pardoning power, which is in the constitution, like this president. and as late as this afternoon, roger stone was saying that he hoped and expected to receive a commutation because he hadn't flipped on the president. this was somebody, we found out from the prosecutors who resigned, were feeling pressure inside the justice department to go be lenient against roger stone because of his relationship with the president. someone who we've seen from now-unredacted parts of the mueller report, was the campaign's conduit to wikileaks. and this is somebody who, now, is getting off scot-free because the president's protecting one of his own who didn't turn on hi

unrelated charges now roger stone admitted that during the 2016 elections he did indeed promote the wiki leaks emails emails that were provided to wiki leaks from clinton campaign manager john podesta however he says he had no prior knowledge of any e-mails that we do it was going to publish and he certainly was not involved in any hacking or data dumping or anything to that effect. ok let's get some reaction now from journalist and author daniel is ari daniel. what's your view hey do you support donald trump's move or do you agree with his critics who say look he's just obviously protecting a friend. well actually i agree with both i mean i think i think that trump as right the the the the roger stone prosecution arose out of the russia gate hysteria that consume the 1st 2 and a half years of his administration and virtually brought the white house to a standstill. by also a grave adam shift that trump is rewarding 'd stone for keeping silent. and doing his best to impede the investigation such as it was so i'm so they're they're both sides in the sense are correct but the important thing i think is that the is that they washington is moving to an ever more. open conflict
