the reality is we still have a tendency to settle women with a lot of that sort of basic accounting, household accounting responsibilities so if i were a republican, i would be talking about the implication of tax cuts. i know certainly with my own employees in virginia, when i go to and calculate what their paychecks are, these are not people that are 1% and they are making more as a result of the i ts and focusing on that can be beneficial. the other thing i would try to ofus on is a little bit finessing. it appears to me that the raise in inflation has diminished to some ansome hand of reality as s above the rate of inflation so you have a lot of people grappling with that. if it were me i would be focusing on the pocketbook issues and kitchen table issues. at the end of the day people understand it's been in reasonably good shape and if you give a reason to believe by keeping you around you going to put more money in your pocket, that will be about the best argument i think republicans can present to this particular point forbl swing voters. the problem with this attack cut messag

different roles and having to do a lot of multitasking. the difficulty with that from a political standpoint is when you see guys sitting literally in the capital and cannot get stuff done, you are automatically going to have a bunch of people who run small businesses or have relatively high-powered management jobs and who are also parents and dealing with all their skit -- all their kids' school activities and leading their own lives and managing family finances. -- doing, if i can all all this in a single day, why can't they pass a single bill? guest: our guest -- host: our guest is with us to talk about women in 2018. 202-748-8001 for republicans. democrats, 202-748-8000. independents, 202-748-8002. what do you think of the brett kavanaugh confirmation? how does that play out amongst women voters? guest: i think it depends on where they are and what their affiliation is. clearly you have democrats and anybody on the left super pissed off and that will energize them to go to the polls. i think it helps with the blue wave in that respect.

i think it was was a lot of chinese came a lot of a lot of a lot of americans to. i think. for a businessman to pull out of an event where a lot of money is at stake i'm afraid that what we're seeing at the moment is going to break between business. doing business and social stuff human rights all of the. values and that's ok that's business as business now you wrote before that the russian relations are highly compartmentalize the beach is another word for saying that they're extremely extremely complicated and president putin made it clear that he's not going to throw what has been so painstakingly under the bus but there is one thing trying to preserve what you have and then there's another thing when you try to capitalize on the scandal or on the . former or current allies do you thing russia to do the latter. trying to get this i think russians are trying to stay under the radar even though they sent a delegation to saudi arabia and they gave a lot of space and coverage to the russians. for its own. of course but i don't think. they already have a good strong relations

countries, syria, a lot of countries, a lot of countries' records have been overlooked. this is a very serious thing and we're looking at it in a very serious manner. and we'll see you, we have a big crowd. >> have you talked to the king of saudi arabia? >> president trump: i have not. i will be calling him. i will be calling at some point king sol on mop, you're right in a way. i'm sure they think you're a good looking guy. maybe not that good from the back, right? >> you plan to call him -- >> president trump: i will be talking to him. >> what the conversation be like? >> president trump: they are looking hard and fast, a lot of people are looking to find out. it's not just us. it is potentially a terrible situation. so we'll see what happens. >> was it a mistake for jared to develop a close relationship? >> president trump: i don't know that it's any closer than other relationships. we have a lot of relationships with a lot of countries. but this is a serious problem. thank you. [question inaudible] >> president trump: a lot of people are going over to an investment co

andill see a lot of damage devastation, unfortunately. we have to set the expectation that power will be out for a while. secretary was saying our partnership with the private sector is we work with florida power and light, golf power, georgia power to be able to help aid facilitate their mutual to come in and they have power crews from ultimate states across the country already pre-staged and win -- when they are hit, we work to get the roadways open so we can get them down the roadways to fix the power. that will take some time. trump: we don't know. i was going to pennsylvania. it looks like there are thousands of people going -- already lined up and probably we will do that tonight and go down here as soon as we can. we don't want to interfere, but we will go down as soon as possible. right nearby, we have thousands of people going tonight and many are there already. what time were you going to be there -- what time were we planning on that? about 7:00. i don't know what to do because you have so many people already there and it is unf

once i comes out, a lot of consumers will come out wanting this. there is of demand for tesla and brand likeit is a google and apple. emily: tesla trading a new sessions highs up 14%. dana, this is after a very tumultuous quarter. run with the sec after he claims he is get a take tesla private and had the funding secured for it, tesla and musk have been fined collectively $40 million, and he is stepping down as chairman. what are the outstanding issues of the settlement? we're waiting to see who will become tesla chair. dana: we should know that by mid-november. then the board have to appoint two new directors by the end of december. the board has been really mum about the search process. it is not clear if they are leading it internally are contracted a search firm. that will change the dynamics of the board. emily: they are supposed to be monitoring his tweets and communications, correct? dana: that is not kicked in yet. emily: the tweets have kshay,uedemily: and, a i'm curious if you remain concerned about his behavior and if that is something yo

of different we're doing a lot of different things to try and remove people from the area but a lot of people are very poor and certain of those areas and it's very tough for them to leave that's one of the problems you're finding i guess and some cases you know you know what what we actually do on blue sky days is ask people who may not have the means or the mechanisms to get out of town to register with their local emergency management agencies in florida has been pretty robust in doing that so that we have some idea of how to preplan for that and then you know we do what we can to be able to support the movement of people when it comes to georgia you know we're not evacuating for storm surge in georgia this is going to be highway and so so we're asking people to get within a facility that can withstand the winds and try to shelter in place or seek out public shelters that may be open in southwest georgia but look at the size how long it will take a look at that and. red area basically you see here we're going to hit pretty heavily and that's that's a lot of shore a lot of laser b

a lot of records are overlooked. if look at iran, so many other countries, syria, you take a look at a lot of countries arc lot of countries' records have been overlooked. i will be calling at some point king salman. >> bret: where does this go? there's reporting, multiple news organizations, saying there's u.s. intelligence showing there are intercepts or calls or recordings. turkish say they have heard and seen evidence of this. although we have not been privy to that as far as we know, correct? >> that's right. and the other thing, though, that we have gotten from the u.s. intelligence, the "washington post" reported, that the crown prince had, in fact, okayed an earlier plan to lure jamal khashoggi to saudi arabia and essentially abduct him there. so there are a lot of signs, a lot of arrows, pointing to the very top, top levels of the saudi government. >> bret: this is heinous, if it happened, and if they find out it happened it's horrific. from people who look at regimes, and how they deal with things around the

but i would agree with one there's a lot of people who would like to see him leave there are a lot of people like this to go away to write a lot of people like this to go away i think the crown prince is going to be staying in place the but it's very awkward if we look at everything oh it's possible that they were rogue attackers. oh i don't want to believe it if it's true right right oh man we have these hundreds of you know one hundred sixty billion dollars weapons deal with a lot of jobs that think we need to be careful on disrupting the region and of course we know saudi arabia is behind the. behind the oil dollar the petro dollar essentially and so it puts a lot of threats both from a arms sales perspective as well as. as well as those the stability of the dollar i would say reputation doesn't matter here. i saw the most oddest headline this week a.f.p. headline geopolitics complicated justice for murder journalist that's it that's it i thought it was supposed to be glenn's learned their statement that he's our ally . or i want to point out to our viewers here i mean porn policy

all the areas that we go to are where a lot of people almost stay. this used to be that they almost can't appear. out of the city the city toward. a few people with their tents caught on fire and. let's do it. i wish there were a better word. being home us because i think that's not the only problem that some people have. whether you have a home or you're not there are nice people and sweet people and where they have a home where you are there are jerks and there are people that are violent aggressive whether you have a home or you're not you still people still like the same. costs. all over and call tribal courts in the jungle carts. and you have lice. she can rise much special bones. but i usually eat pizza because the slices to the cheek i don't see a lot of that stuff. like the limit of life's writes the fiber as an older guy you know it would be on the street i need that kind of food to eat . my vegetables because the vegetables have item is in the you know i'm going to hell i'm going to c.v.s. every day we're going to floor. centrum for fifty yo

i will know a lot tomorrow. we have people in saudi arabia, people in turkey. >> you investigation, will you give them -- >> -- i think that's a long time. [inaudible] >> that's a long time. >> mr. president, what about your promise to protect transgender americans? are you giving up on that? >> we are looking at it. we have a lot of different. >> looking at redefining? >> concepts right now. they have a lot of different things happening with respect to transgender right now. you know that as well as i do. we are looking at it very seriously. >> what about your promise to protect the lbgt community. transgender americans say you are giving up on them. >> i'm protecting everybody. i want to protect our country [inaudible] >> i think he has. i think -- i think they wanted to seaside i am 100 percent. you have been reporting 100,000 people lined up. >> why does cruz need your help. >> i think cruz will be a big factor tonight. he will get up and make a big speech. i'm going to get up and make a great speech. i hope

there's been a lot of continuity in the leadership. ily: was it hard breaking up with your cofounder? katrina: absolutely. it is some of the hardest stuff that founders go through. you get to a place where you see things through a different light. you see the world through two different lenses. they do not meet. it was hard. being able to have mike and eric, who have now been with the company for five years, they were mentors in a lot of ways to me. i had never done this before. i feel fortunate to have a team that many people who have been at the company for a long time. to have a leadership team that has had continuity is something that helped us as we looked at milestones and as we grew and as we thought about becoming a public company. this has a 72% chance of working. this has a 38% chance of working. that data is proven ♪ . -- proven. ♪ emily: stitch fix was profitable two years before you went public. was that a priority? was that a choice? katrina: we live in an interesting time. i think companies are rewarded for growth. our bu

a lot of kids are going to be really excited to have go it's. we came here they didn't have a donut shop they hadn't had one for over eight years most of these kids never had a girlfriend till four and. they come into my shop all its high school board was wow go go it's. there are more families there are coming to my list and now i go pick up the land and school and i see other kids you know on the asian kids african hispanic you know it's a good sign that the community is growing in. healthy way you know we need to. create lives in bozeman montana a small town six hundred miles away. he is right out of options in his hometown and has decided to settle for with liston he knows he will not see his wife and two kids for several weeks. hours behind the wheel with the hope that he will find work when he arrives when i leave my family like this i usually feel you know pretty lousy at times there was one incident years ago where my daughter was just in tears as i was leaving and it's like it's hard it's it's not fun it's hard but it's what has to be do

we had a lot of people stay. kennedy: people in your area experienced many storms throughout the years. you said it was a feels sense of bravery. they actually when it really hit the fan and gets worse and those storm waters rise, they put first responders at risk, don't they? >> we don't do that. when it gets over 50, we don't send ours out. they have families too. we don't send them out to get hurt. kennedy: how far is this from the worst case scenario? >> it could have been a lot worse. we have a lot of cleaning you have and things we have got to do, if that would have been 30 miles west we would have been in three times the trouble we are in trite now. i feel blessed to have the damage we have got. some of our neighbors won't be so lucky, i'm afraid. kennedy: what do you think will happen to some of the areas in the storm's track. >> we have canopy trees in tallahassee and north of florida. they will have problems for a long time. and people getting hurt with trees. down here we don't have a lot of that. we ha

a lot deserve to have a second chance. not talk about violence offenders but a lot of the things written people would hire them they can't get credit, can't get a job, how do you get a second chance. we need to do a better job giving these folks a chance. for a bank there's regulations that said you cannot hire felons. we got them to change that. we will now try to program certain jobs that maybe they can get a job somewhere. >> maybe not willie sutton. >> specifically that. >> you bring up the criminal justice system aware talking about unnecessary college. you have given me a list that we want to share with the audience. we talk about the ways to increase gdp, the gdp stimulators, you have a list of negative gdp stimulators. the things that are lowering economic productivity. tick through that. >> we only put these in models. most have gotten worse over time. they have been static the whole time. we spent a lot of money in war, that has a huge effect on productivity. the tax system the education system, the ability to bu

this could have been a whole lot worse. trish, where it came ashore essentially in an area not tremendously populated. a low-lying area but not a whole lot of folks there. that is the best-case scenario because right around where it came ashore was the worst of the strength of the storm. as you can tell we're getting a pretty good blow here but this is nothing like what hit right there. so maybe a best case scenario for the moment in terms of a landfall. but the thing is this storm has a long way to go, and a lot of ground to potentially damage in its path. we'll continue to watch it here as we continue to get the western edge of the eyewall of hurricane michael in panama city beach. trish: oh, my goodness. jeff, as always stay safe, sir. we'll keep checking in i want to bring in from franklin county a little east where the emergency management coordinator said those who stayed better wear life jackets right now. i want to bring in on the phone, sheriff aj smith. thanks for joining us. tell us what you're seeing there? >> we

the seams of to be a lot of bullish sector. it's just a better custom of the -- customer deliver -- customer experience overall. >> tech stocks have taken a beating. in the russell 2000, the tech sector is down 11% -- more than 11%. it is really leading the drop in the russell since august. there are theories about why small caps have an underperforming, but one of the most interesting is that not a lot of companies in the russell 2000 are profitable. more than 25% of the companies are unprofitable. bank of america says that is more than you see leading into a recession. tech is the poster child of this which is why it has been the worst-performing group. only half of the tech stocks in the russell 2000 are profitable. abigail: not just on the day but over the last four days. take a look at this four-day chart of the s&p 500. four down days in a row. losing about 1.5% over this time period. it has been such a bullish tim eper -- time period. it has done a bit of technical damage. i was watching to see the close. this is a year t

in many ways, political activism as the war has been forced among a lot of people who just want to be thinking about football. a player or coach or fan or what have you. there have been people responsive and vocal in the face of that. that makes it a more political time in the league. >> one of the first players. i agree with you that we are thankfully and in some ways less of the unit time where people feel like they have to make individual choices to become more political. i think that's a good thing. the fact that we the nfl are the major league without a rule. it's interesting. there's a rule in every other league. and do i think men are men demonstrated a tremendous amount of courage? yes. again, the risk of being struck by lightning, do i think that roger has done a very good job with respect to where we've come since we've decided on this standstill, yes. i think you've seen teams engaged in social justice issues where they never have before. that's a great thing >> the nfl has been a lightning rod for trump in particular. he's been very vocal about that. also lots of other iss

of oil out here and there's a lot of jobs you know lot of opportunity for business willesden seemed to have the best opportunities for us and my family and so we drove up to the local and we realized immediately there was a huge opportunity out here so many people out here there must have been at least thirty thousand people going through here and there were only five restaurants at the time and then we looked a little bit closer and said ok what skill sets do we have that would be a good system and we thought that maybe you don't shop for so many other businesses have done here in the old timers they all think that foreigners coming here to take their money and go back home they don't think we're like that and i think that's one of the reasons we don't since it's not just. a business for us we are part of the community if we were embraced by the community the supported us the deathly didn't he helped us out. we are current of it and we're always contributed. to be a good day to day. a lot of kids are going to be really excited to have go it's. we came here they didn't have a donut s

right right so a lot of markets have a lot of first time home buyer homes a lot of markets don't and that's the problem first time home buyers are now spending two three four hundred thousand dollars on their first home my first home was seventy thousand so the times have changed a lot people are wanting better nicer brand new homes they don't want to come in and got them and fix them up like we used to so i think their expectations are more i think they want to nicer home than what we started out before they've always had nice homes and i think these interest rates are scaring them a little because they've never seen rates this high even though we did have rates when i first got in the mortgage business at eight and ten percent and that was considered a good rate back then are you seeing in your own business you know home buyers or people that might be would be home buyers saying rates are getting too high for them or are they just raising the concern but they're still going forward. all they're concerned about is the payments so they're going out to look at homes and if they find a

fortune for the op may be a lot about this more than i thought of such financial. disease says harlan kentucky. we all just move the employees you go through st fanny's leaving only. a co money city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the polarizer said i'd. love to see these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's how it's happened. to be. compared. to when did the money out the next cd you party convention to somebody i will not run for the chair of the party this fourth tom is the last one for me. the german chancellor announces she is stepping down in twenty twenty one and confirms plans to quit as leader off party after eighteen years as i am for them luckily it's paid with a c.v. .

i keep saying this could a lot of cyberpeople say here's a bunch of cyberoptions. it's really an entire government has to think about these issues and we are formulating these policies and approaches, calling out actors, irresponsible behavior in cyberspace is very important for this administration and one that her secretary has been very proud to be a part of that, consistently when we are in a position to be able to say, look, russia did this. this is irresponsible and we are going to impose other deterrence, whatever tools we have available to us. that is kind of what i meant by since sony. i think it's become very much in the front lines of every kind of policy maker. >> host: we are in an election year. are you seeing more evidence of attacks on election systems are knocking on the door of election systems? pardon me. >> guest: if you'll indulge me for a moment because it's really important one of the things i learned for myself and i think it is the same for a lot of people, you have to understand election administration in order to be sort of fully able to u

that leads to a lot of boredom. is a major driver towards drugs and other addictions, screen time, video games, and such. it seems like you're treating the symptoms of boredom. is anybody looking at alternatives, productive, useful tongs people can be doing create alternatives for people so they do not get bored and get into drugs and stuff like that? there are social determinants that go into why individuals develop substance use disorders. it is a combination of the environment as well as hereditary -- heredity. it is not one thing or one factor. there is a combination of factors. but i am a lawyer and not a doctor, so i will let the doctor speak. [laughter] >> i agree with what was just said. , theresay scientifically is data that the number one reason people misuse opioids is because of pain. 62.4% of people misuse opioids because of pain. in order to solve the opioid crisis or at least one aspect of the overall substance use crisis, we have to to deal with pain. pay needs to be dealt with -- withneeds to be deal

they need energy, they need a lot. -- roofs. while i appreciate a $30 million plus-up and spending, that pales in comparison to the demand. one thing you composed of existing programs. if we're going to get serious, we got confessed. the second thing is it doesn't all have to be our money. so leveraging third-party financing whether it be from energy services companies or utilities to work with energy services companies, we've got a ton of value out of our federal dollars by leveraging the private sector. the private sector in many instances it's just a bad entity to do this. they understand it better than we do. they are on the cutting edge with a we are. they can help solve our problems. so leveraging that. and i think that, as much a matter funding, it's a matter focus. the department should continue to work with the private sector to figure how to get these projects done and make them a priority. the threats are real and are not going away. the only way we're going to mitigate them by dressing vestf dollars worth with the pri

it makes a lot of sense, but a college degree is not required for a lot of things. and when you start as a teller in a call center, it means you have a choice, and it may be true that the kids who go to college, they have high attrition because that is not what they aspire to do. and you get a high school kid, we trade these high school kids, and they love these jobs. they have full medical and retirement. and, they make $12,000 a year, these kids feel great about it. i expect them to go on to something else later in life. but, some might become bankers in the branch, branch managers, regional directors, they might make it to my job one day. >> if you think of american companies making commitment, that was less toward using college as a signal and more toward figuring out what skills people need, we could create the demand signals as we go into the american education system. stomach it was an accidental mistake that was made that needs to be fixed. >> the other issue by the way, we have -- a lot of them deserve to have a second chance. i'm not talking about violent o

so there's going to be a lot of things that are going to come out of it. nd it is a little bit about, what is it, the dog catching the car, right? but right now data, connecting data, quality and finance is just kind of its our focus. and this seems to be a lot of power in understanding the intersection of those aspects of the program. and then it's going to take really the next generation of medicaid leaders to figure out how to change policy or direct the flexibility get of the managed-care contract in the ways that address those addressed the issues identified through the data. i'm a little worried privately, on a stage -- [laughing] >> not private. >> you know, at some point an accountability standpoint, you should have known, you have the data. data is just bits and bytes. it's the information derived from that, and i think that's the big difference. so when you talk about data data data it's really about how you convert information and whether you have the operational or administrative capacity to train the information into action. >> the plural of an

a lot going on here. back to you. >> yes stay with us over the next hour the nasdaq seeing wild swings throughout the session. sitting around construction territory. let get a look at the biggest movers taking us there and one of the things we saw this morning was strength and technology chips were the leaders this morning but chips now down 15% from their high. it is a drag here this afternoon. couldn't hold on a few names still in the green they are bouncing off of new lows including on semi conductor also bouncing off of lows. they are chinese internet sellers. costco is up 5%. it is one of two nasdaq stocks that with positive as the index is down about 6% the big drag, look to the big tech names facebook is the only one that managed to hold up into the green. but today we are seeing big volumes in amazon as well amazon >> notwithstanding you >> joining us we have brian and steve from am erand rick let's talk about whether you see it as a driver for stocks. >> i want you to call it a flight to safety if

and shot a lot of food. had a really good shelf involved. ate a lot of good food in new orleans. without revealing too much -- >> new orleans. a detective right in the beginning he sort of has trouble, he quits the police force but he had a second job which is killer chef, a food truck. which he runs with his ex-wife. which is always an interesting dynamic. there is something that happens in new orleans, draws him back into a serious threat in new orleans. connell: could you do this with any book you write, this keep of thing? >> right. the fun thing it is so much food. it is quite cool. we're working on a tv series too. nobody has done that where you put a lot film, a lot of food in the film. connell: final thing, when you're reading, would you read like this, read on your phone? do you read on your ipad? >> sure. i'm still more after physical book person but, yes i will do it. in audio books too. connell: i read a lot on my ipad. at first you say well -- you get so used to it after a while. >> yeah. connell: almost like the way you read now. i realize -- >> i think messenger, a

the economic ties are getting a lot better. japan has a lwa ys getting a lot better. t investor in india but at the same time, as you just reported, we mutually have a problem and that's aggression from china and in that sense there is a lot we can incorporate, especially in the situation where we are seeing this regression towards conservatism very much led by mr trump, which is very much led by mr trump, which is very u nfortu nate for very much led by mr trump, which is very unfortunate for the free world so basically we need to unite a lot stronger, especially considering the protection of our benefits in the future in southeast asia. what can we expect from this military logistics pact they are due to sign? in terms of economic repercussions, what will we see? two things, one is the re—confirmation that we are basically tying up together, which is most important, assurance, secondly, a lot of the economic movements, for example infrastructure in north—eastern india asa infrastructure in north—eastern india as a lot to do with the japanese investment, but at the sa

. >> you know a lot of people here, and we cannot see the online audience, a lot of people in a lot ofterested the things you are doing, why are you coming to washington so often? >> i have my regulators down here, we do stuff on the senate on the hill. and also the business also anle, there's advocacy group around policy, immigration, trade, taxation, corporate governance, and i agreed to do that because i think it's important that we get these policies right. isso the business roundtable not something that people typically associate with policy, they think of it as a trade group to promote be interests of business. you see it differently. >> there are 7000 lobbying groups in this town. >> i think it 7 million. >> and the fact that every group has it a life of its own -- has a life of its own. and the purpose of this one is broad public policy, taxation, immigration, trade, smart regulation, corporate governance, things that i think are important to the future of america. fight for tried to bank regulations, i never spoke to the group about bank regulation, just policies that are good for ame

a lot of people had problems with the testimony and it had a lot of gaps that didn't make sense. i didn't see that coming through in the news coverage or in the analysis either. there's no reason there couldn't have been a straight news story laying out the flaws and inconsistencies with testimony. >> people wanted a few good men and colonel jessop and jack nicholson and tom cruise and cruise wondering, did you order the code red? and obviously nicholson says you're damn right i did. that's what they wanted out of the prosecutor or johnnie cochran in the o.j. hearings, if it doesn't fit, you must acquit. something that rhymes, if it's methodical and fact based that doesn't play well in cable fuse for pundits. they want drama. mark: let me follow up, you are making an important point. is the audience smarter than the people make the presentations in the media? >> absolutely. before the 2016 election, the hill does an analysis of all the major newspapers across the country and their endorsements. and we narrowed it down to 59 papers based on, i believe, s subscription levels. 59 end

>> well, there's a lot to be said. y the relationship spans, for decades, and certainly in the last couple of years, you know, we have seen a reluctance for saudi arabia to come to the aid of u.s. motorists who have been hit with higher gas and oil prices. so it's very interesting, but you know, at the end of the day, you look at what the saudis are doing right now and they really need oil exports, they rely on them as well. so i don't expect them to make a mistake that would put their future in jeopardy as well and certainly the era of what the new kingdom is looking like under the new prince. neil: this thing, that's what makes me wonder if this whole thing was stupid. it's a tin ear to just the image that it scombroeprojected or ma arrogance. >> that's right, maybe there was some level of arrogance they could get away with this but the u.s. strengthened its position. we are still relying on saudi arabia in terms of a global oil exporter but here's the u.s. producing 11 million barrels of oil per day now amongst the w

agencies they buy a lot of influence with their weapons purchases they can kill half of yemen and nobody cares they thought i was one journalist ok fine some people maybe handle it a little bit sloppy word got out but we can cover this up like we get away with everything else and i think they are very surprised so this might ask you to go down the rabbit hole a little bit but for the washington post but the papers on our jeff bezos has kind of stayed out of this he stayed silent in fact so have many top e.u. officials why do you think this is the case. i don't know about bezos but i would think that the e.u. officials are rather like the american officials they know that a lot of lucrative business deals depend on the saudis that money talks so the idea look their luck a lot of people who have been one way or another corrupted by saudi money and i don't think they want to see the gravy train go away whether mohammed bin still monster days or not there's still a lot of people that are very heavily invested in the relationship with this this. government which let's let's be honest with our

well first of all a lot of things need to be recalculated i think the way the government measures inflation i think it does a bad job of capturing the true increase in the cost of living so i think real wages have actually fallen a lot further than the official fishbowls to to six would reveal and of course you mentioned at the top of the show about this you know lowest unemployment rate since one thousand nine hundred sixty nine well you know as donald trump used to correctly point out when he was a candidate for president that the numbers are not real because we no longer measure the unemployment rate the way we measured it back then if we did and we counted all the people that are working part time who want to work full time and all the people who are discouraged not just the people who are discouraged for one year like we get the you six but all the long term discouraged unemployed the real unemployment rate is well above ten percent right now so we're not even close to where we were in one nine hundred sixty nine but also you have to remember by one nine hundred seventy the unemploymen

for example, we are seeing a lot of strength at the entry level. price pointa in range where builders have been struggling to reduce a nav. we think that they cracked the code. thaters have indicated their margins on entry-level homes are good or even better than the margins they get on the fancier homes. that creates an opportunity for them to come in and build a lot more homes at that price point where demand is strong. that is one example. caroline: what about regionally speaking? seenen: certainly, we have tax reform create another interesting dynamic. i don't think it is lost on a lot of folks that it had some of the coastal markets a little more than some of the areas in the heartland what with the inability to do. the state and local taxes and property taxes cap at 10 gram. that has created a little bit of softness. unfortunately where i am. in westchester county, new york. in california the same thing. joe: one of the stories earlier intense selloff was that labor titans was really impinging on the homebuilders. it was a matter of labor cost

changing a system requires a lot of time, a lot of people, a lot of cooperation and a lot of the sustainedlet's talk about what's happening nationally and in this senate race. senator mccaskill is running against josh hawley. senator mccaskill doesn't have a lot of support among african-americans. why is that? >> i'm not certain why the support is not as strong for mccaskill. when i cast my vote, i'm speaking personally, i'm voting against the alternative in this case. in my case, the alternative is just unacceptable. what's problematic and a challenge for the democrats is allow to leverage that, i guess that referendum against trump's racial agenda to motivate people to get out an vote. he's given us quite a bit to think about. his attacks on colin kaepernick. his charlottesville fiasco and his attack on private institutions. i think those should be motivating factors. while it's a challenge for people like mccaskill to leverage those and get people out to use those in a way that motivates them and does not alienate white voters. i understand it's challenge but it should be motivating for

as a result, a lot of his supporters think he is doing a great job of this. even those who don't agree think he is talking about this. hand, people think congress across the board is doing a lousy job because they don't hear that the president crowds out a lot of that news. this is a china question, but you can use it as a proxy. gate a trying to decide little bit this issue from a political figure. if you ask people to narrowly, are you willing to get tough on countries who cheat on freenational trade or, trade is a goal but we cannot get there i must we are willing to use tough measures at the same time, there is strong agreement with that across almost every demographic, including democratic voters and voters who view the president unfavorably. , i'm sure the social media team will have a link to all of this. , strong support from this idea of having a tougher trade policy. when you put the question directly to them, are voters willing to take strong actions against unfair trade practices, or are they afraid of them because of retaliatory tariffs. we name

president, you're doing a lot of things to make america great again. and signing this bill is one of them. and it is something that has been needed for decades. this has been a situation where the music licensing system in this country hasn't worked fairly. and i'm honored to have my name associated with it. i'm honored to have my name associated with senator hatch. but this is an effort of a lot of people all across this country, in the congress and out of the congress, over a long time. so thank you for putting the finishing touch on it. it's going to do a lot of good for a lot of great people. [applause] >> great job. lamar, do you want to say something? >> thank you, mr. president, for your leadership. there are tens of thousands of taxi drivers, waitresses, music teachers in tennessee and across this country who are riding the bus out to their work and hoping they'll write a big number-one hit one day. and what this means is that when they do, they'll get paid, and they'll get paid a fair market value. so i'm grateful to the entire range of the mus

he was a lot older, 25 to 30 years, but i think at that time she trusted him. he was the guardian for many, many years, even prior to mr. folsom's debt. they had trust they had a wonderful family. host: they didn't like life in the white house and tried to protect the family? massee: a lot of times, frances would take the children by cares to sites off campus from the white house, and unbeknownst to the press or anybody that was around, they would secretly do that, mid-day or sometimes in the evenings when no one would be suspect. and i think she was very much, she controlled how her children would be seen. host: they also built houses and what is called the cleveland park section of washington, and grover cleveland used the white ouse as an office? massee: that's exactly right. there is a ton of correspondence that exists from that time, because he was a voracious reader and writer. and at the time we didn't have the archives like we do today, the presidential archives. so when he left office, all those letters, all those documents were taken by him. i was talk

there's a lot of compromise. mr. levin: i believe a discreetly important that we work across the aisle. one of which is the environment. i've worked across the aisle with republicans and democrats alike. of the worky proud we have done. senator john mccain passed away and it stuck struck me in a way i did not expect. i never doubted his patriotism. i never doubted his service to the country. i always appreciated and respected that the reason he's surplus for a cause greater than his own self interest. i think we are lacking that in washington today. people.acking at the take exception to a couple things. one is that our pension system is under attack. fewer and fewer people have pensions. 401(k)s and iras. eligibleof the workforce invests in a 401(k) or ira and too many of them are under investing in those programs. there is rising inequality. i see it in our district i have had 184 house parties across the 49th district. they i listen to people's concerns, making the end's meet come over and over again they are worri

they butted heads a lot. ost seemed in question at the state department whether there was a separate secretary of state operating out of the united nations and one here. under the tenure of the current secretary of state mike pompeo the relationship seemed much more coordinated and on the same page on a number of issues. appeared together calling out china for easing out sanction enforcement against north korea. she traveled down to the venezuela border with columbia leading efforts on that. she was very much a consistent out there face for the administration on its foreign policy. started out somewhat rocky, seemed to smooth over which is why it was so surprising to a number of folks here. as brett mentioned there was the foundation of politics behind it and always a joke among reporters as to who was going to ask her next are you running, what is your next position, what kind of political position are you looking for next? now those questions i think will be even further ignited now that she is leaving the a

we have a lot of activity. have an industry, you know, that is building up, but it's kinds of building up in a more rational way than it looks like on the surface. and that's good, actually. >> one of the things -- we heard dr. pace talk about that -- they are focused on exploration and national security but also this whole igs notion that they have got to do this with industry. and you have had space pod directedive number two really taking aim at the regulations. i want to run that through you guys in truth squad a little bit. is that actually having any effect? is it effective what the white house is trying to do? >> i think -- you know, let me talk about a specific. i think it's -- it's one thing to change your policy. the policy mechanism isn't like hooked like a drive train to the tires. right? so you can change the policy. and it takes a while for the machine to respond. let's look at export control, which is a super gnarly issue that we have all banged our heads against. for example, in our industry the

we are doing a lot of work on it. it would certainly not be a good thing at all. >> shannon: what about the senators, bipartisan talk they would block any further arms sales to saudi. would you support that? >> president trump: that would be hurting us. we have jobs. we have a lot of things happening in this country. we have a country that's doing probably better economically than it's ever done before. part of that is what we are doing with our defense systems and everybody is wanting them and frankly i think that would be very, very tough pill to swallow for our country. they are quick to jump that way. i would have to find out really before i discuss it, i'd have to find out what happened and we are looking and so are other people. turkey is looking. a couple of others are looking. they are very talented people involved. we will get to the bottom of it. i do hate to commit to what recourse we would take. it's too early. >> shannon: have you narrowed your list or made a decision about replacing ambassador haley? >> p

trump has a lot of other republican -- >> they spend a lot of money. revenue is increasing. >> of course it is but does it increase enough for -- talk to any supply sider. they will tell you there is always a lag. supply siders that came up with the theory -- >> whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. stockman is against supply side. he was dead set against it. that's why he was taken to the woodshed by reagan. he was against supply side economics. he was wrong. you're wrong. >> here's what i will say. everybody knows anything about supply side economics knows there's a lag. >> it happened immediately in 1983. >> no, it didn't. >> yes, it did. you're dead wrong. neil: susan and deirdre at this point are saying why did we agree to this. what were we thinking. let me ask this. when we talk about the average investor, he or she tends to get a bum rap. they are the last to turn out the lights at a party and the first to enter or whatever. i'm wondering when you talk to folks who have funds, it's much more pervasive today, people are invested in this market passively. they

set of being tough on refugees and they have this tradition of doing that but in practice i think a lot of people in bavaria look at what has happened with migration and refugee policy over the past couple of years and they say well you know they talk a good game but in practice nothing has really changed in terms of what does the c.s.u. has promised in terms of really you know tightening tightening things and you know for example putting more people on the border they've done that but they're not really border controls of the kind that they will still need to throw out there is all sort of small fries a lot of sort of you know potemkin village type of stuff and i think that you know people are stupid and they realize that and that's obviously been an opening for the f.t. and on the one hand and obviously on for the greens on the other so you're seeing you know really a fracturing of the landscape so i agree that you know in principle it's good for democracy not to have one party in power here but i think that the larger story in bavaria right now is that you're seeing just how how pote

i think the tax cuts help a lot of people. e'd been able to do it in a budget neutral fashion, that would have been better in terms of reducing increased pressures from the debt over the next ten years but in terms of corporate earnings and corporations, i talk to a large number of business people. they are really quite smart. especially in the things that they are working on. their businesses so they know when they make these decisions to give back capital to others. there is a risk that six months later, they might have needed that i assume they've done this for all the best business reasons. and it's been risk managed very well i'm not going to second guess that >> peter fisher was here earlier. he said it's time to get rid of the dot plot nobody knows where we're going to be three years from now because you all are so data dependent at this point. does he have a good point? >> not really. i think that the dot plots are very good communications vehicle. there are a lot of people who look at the large dispersion in the dots a
