and to talk more about this ongoing story i'm now here joined on the set by barron's barrackers senior fellow at the german council on foreign relations a very warm welcome sir the people of hong kong remain deeply suspicious of their government the territories leader kerry lam it's not showing any signs of stepping down the demonstrators are demanding she resign do you fear that this could come to a head. well i think the students and the young people will not step down at this stage because the struggle is a longer one that is not only about this extradition door since 2014 things have been deteriorating and in hong kong has been a settlement policy that will 1500 people can settle any day and then hong kong and there's a perception that the judiciary is not as independent as used to so for the hong kong needs it's a struggle for the existence and to keep on going and dependant as it was let's talk about joshua wang the 22 year old pro-democracy pro-democracy activists who plays a very central role in this movement to he has been in prison since may was released today he came out swi

. >> the one refreshing, honestly refreshing trump is barron because he's such a cool kid.'s not unusual that he wasn't there because he's 13 years old, right? >> that wasn't unusual. >> so 2016. >> the obama girls, malia and sasha asked about barron as well. they attended a state dinner for canada at the white house. the pictures are up there now. they were 18 and 15 at the time, living with their parents at the time. that's a much difference experience and beautiful pictures in that by the way. >> a much different experience indeed because they're minors and they've traveled along with their parents. they're also not there trying to further their own interests. they're there as part of the whole experience, i suppose. this just feels so calculated to bring along the whole family. you're kind of questioning to what end, bringing them all in to the state banquet tonight. to me, don, it felt ever so slightly tacky. it was just like everyone was along like it was a ride at disney world. hey, guy, we get to go and experience buckingham palace. >> don't you think someone said,

the tears started even before the big reveal. 19-year-old ilijah barron in a tuxedo and a wheelchair,ing his senior year battling bone cancer. >> say hi to his nurses. >> reporter: the tears, ilijah says, are because he knows what's about to happen. >> i was, like, crying before i even left the room. i felt good that they would do that just for me. they would take time out of their day and come to my ball. >> reporter: too weak to attend his senior ball, doctor's orders. >> look at this. senior ball for ilijah. >> reporter: his classmates brought the ball to him inside of his hospital. everyone in formal attire. everything from a selfie booth, to photo props, even a sitdown dinner. a rite of passage for every graduate of liverpool high school in upstate new york. the special ceremony, his mom's idea. golisano children's hospital said go for it, even buying supplies. >> mom, she does it all. she's my superhero. >> reporter: and ilijah, returning the favor. putting on his own show at graduation. >> that is ilijah. >> yeah, lij! >> reporter: one more surprise. ilijah walking across the s

. >>> hans nichols is in ireland where we saw the president, and kevin barron is also here. that interview has gotten a lot of attention. the president, you know, i mean he's talk about these bone spurs in his feet before preventsing him from being able to spur in the war of his generation. now he seems to be presenting himself as a consequencientious objector? >> reporter: it seems like the challenge -- in the his tore of conscription, i don't think many conscripts are giving a choice on the proximity of the war they're going asked to serve in. i think he admires of world war ii generation, so we had a bit there on sort of the beginnings of the president's making nonintervention. when you look at the flects in afghanistan and iraq, it's clear he doesn't want to be involved there. i think we also got a sense on who he thinking he's done to atone for it, how much he's actually done for defense spending, upping the pentagon budget to, as he said, $715 billion. >> hans, we have that piece of the interview as well. let's show everyone. >>> would you like to have served generally

laura barron-lopez is a political reporter for policeco and liz winstat, the creator of "the daily show barry mccaffrey is a military analyst for nbc news. the general is with us this morning. we begin with the middle east. president trump's decision to call off a strike against iran after a u.s. drone was shot down over the strait of hormuz. u.s. officials say the drone was flying in international airspace, iran says it was in he iranian airspace. on friday president trump said the u.s. military was cocked and loaded for a strike against iran but called it off with ten minutes to spare when a general told him 150 people would probably die in the attack. the president elaborated on his decision during an exclusive interview that will air in full tomorrow on nbc's "meet the press" with chucked to. >> i'm not looking for war. if there is, it will be owe obliteration like you have never seen before. i'm not looking to do that. you can't have a nuclear weapon. you want to talk, good otherwise you can have a bad economy for the next three years. >> no preconditions? >> not as far as i'm conc

if you can give me a cole extra minutes, state delegate eric barron just drove up, and will share with me the efforts being done. i mean, it had to take is. ow what is going to happen at this stretch? >> well, this is a county road. county officials simply needto act. individuals in this community, and i'm a member of this community and the hoa predent s called for the county time and time again to act. it shouldn't take a tragedythike for us to get some traction. but i'm calling a meeting with the chief of police, the levant county officials, heads of the agencies and e-mailed and callethe county councilmen for this area. i'm calling for a meeting this week, this week. we don'teed any more traffic studies, we don't need to study this thing any more. we need to act. and we need a permanent otsolution. nust police patrols, but a permanent traffic mitigation solution here in this area. >> ank you so much, delegate, for joining us here at the scene. just happened to be driving by and stopped and i'm so gladou did and shared with us. okay, that is the very latest live here from back to you

and i said, do you mean charles and inez barron? [applause] what does gentrification look like in your community? >> good evening. i bring you greetings from jackson, mississippi. amen.nd thompson: mumba.ehalf of mayor i would like to say that he is groone of these ne politicians that we referenced .arlier jackson, mississippi is in the process of rebuilding, rebuilding a city that has been exploited and divested in for decades, even with black leadership. even though we don't face gentrification the way many of it,urban areas are facing we understand that as soon as we , we will have to address it. our mayor often makes the statement that we will not move our people from one state of , and that isther essentially what gentrification is. people isment to our to involve them in the government. our commitment is to design our economy, which we call a dignity economy, meaning that every single citizen in jackson, mississippi deserves to be treated with dignity and respect regardless of their economic status, their social status, their

ambassador, christopher hill, kevin barron, executive editor of defense one, and former state departmentr adviser naira hawk. let me start with the whole idea of consistency or lack thereof, and we see these movements with pompeo and bolton, let me get your take on where we are with all of this. the president in particular backing down with just 10 minutes to go, ambassador. >> well, first of all, i think the administration is trying to show it's got a higher purpose to all of this, what better purpose than maritime security, after all we're a maritime nation, many countries depend on open seaways to get their energy supplies. i think it's shifting the focus to try and say, hey, in addition to everything else, the iranians are attacking maritime security, and maritime security is important to everybody including most of the g20 countries. you know, foreign policy is often used as a proxy for being touch, for being wise or for being compassionate, and i think the president has tended to use it to show he's tough but in fact this didn't look very tough, so now he's going to try to be tough

i wanted "barron's" associate publisher jack otter to explain what is going on interest rate front andare low enough for people to scoop up. that isn't necessarily the case. >> speaking english? >> i saw what you did there. >> so what in english is your question? neil: i like that. if you are looking at a lower rate environment the argument it will benefit buyers because they can afford a better mortgage but they need homes to buy. >> exactly. neil: therein lies retirees that might want to sell. >> it benefits sellers, because people don't tend to think about the total sticker price of the house, what monthly payment may be. the monthly payment has gone down. neil: you were talking about the rather nominal shifts we've seen. >> not dramatically. i should say it this way, if you're thinking of refinancing they probably haven't gone down enough. if you're thinking of buying, yeah, you just saved 100 bucks, maybe 200 bucks a month depending how large of a mortgage you're looking at. it is definitely good news for buyers. what is good news for buyers there seems to be a lot of inventory. e

his young -- young son, barron, who theoretically lives with him, has become a major issue in his marriagee are many issues. but this is a major issue because he really doesn't -- he doesn't get along with his son, he doesn't communicate with his son, he doesn't -- his son is not -- effectively not at all a part of his life, even though he lives with him. >> you also report the incredibly peculiar detail that donald trump is reportedly jealous of his son's height because at 12 years old he's apparently growing up close to donald trump's height. >> jealous of everyone's height. he never let's himself be in a photograph with someone taller than he is. height is his -- is one of his techniques. he uses his height -- and, remember, donald trump is a very large man. >> you talk about a trump white house where -- by the time you get to this passage of kellyanne conway and her husband actually sharing a feeling of hatred for donald trump, you've revealed all sorts of people working in the white house who have hatred for donald trump, including don mcgahn, most importantly possibly because he coul

. >> kevin barron, bill kneelly, thank you. >>> there were some other stunning moments in the president's latest wide ranging interview, including the revealing moment inside the oval. a hint, he's been paying attention to those nixon comparisons. >>> and this remark that's raising some eyebrows this morning. >> i mean, i've seen and i've read and i've heard, and i did have one very brief meeting on it, but people are saying this, they're seeing ufos. do i believe it? not particularly. to a single defining moment... ...when a plan stops being a plan and gets set into motion. today's merrill can help you get there with the people, tools, and personalized advice to help turn your ambitions into action. what would you like the power to do? >>> much of washington is still reeling from president trump's controversial new interview with abc news. stockpiled with stunning comments from saying he'd take oppo research from foreign governments to making false statements about his polling numbers. in the middle of one conversation he sent his chief of staff out of the room for coughing, and he claim

i have a great family, melania, don, ivanka, eric, tiffany, barron, lara, jared, robert, maryanne, elizabeth late brother, fred junior, we're joined tonight by many great patriots who fight right by our side. florida's terrific governor. [applause] thank you, ron. our first lady, casey desantis. what a job you are doing. thank you. thank you ron, casey, thank you. what a job. and again your great lieutenant governor, who i hear is fantastic, right? jeanette nuÑez. jeannette. thank you, jeanette. beautiful job. your florida cfo jimmy patronis, some really brilliant, tough, wonderful friends who have helped me so much senators, lindsey graham of south carolina, marco rubio of florida, and rick scott of florida. these are great people, they're, tough, they're smart and they love our country. thank you very much. rick, marco, lindsey. thank you. members of congress, warriors also, boy, they're up there. you want them protecting you i'll, tell you they don't stop. matt gates, ted, yoho and michael walls, and also all of our friends and our supporters, you've been incredible. this has been a treme

carol roth, jack hough, "barron's" associate editor there and michelle girard.nat markets director. michelle, the good is bad, up is down, we have those days from time to time. that seems to be the rationale. tell us what we should take away first from the jobs report? >> you're right in this case the market took bad news as good news. it means the odds of the fed cutting interest rates sooner rather than later have gone up. i do believe that the economy is not as weak as perhaps some of the employment figures like adp, like today's job numbers might suggest but clearly downside risks are increasing as the trade war is being escalated. the fed has room to provide some support, to provide some insurance as we've been talking about to a possible slow down because inflation is below its target. as you noted in today's report there is not a lot of wage pressures. i think the market is right to anticipate that this does make it easier for the fed to come in and to provide some accommodation that the economy might benefit from. connell: heck of a week, jack. you have

england were in trouble from the 2nd ball of their reply when jason barron doff told the james burns you don't want to take a 5 wicket hole and the wickets kept coming a great catch by pat cummins the end of captain owen morgan one of the 4 victims of mitchell starc only ben stokes put up any real resistance with $89.00 but england struggled to get partnerships together in the end they fell $64.00 runs short a 3rd defeat of the group stage for the hosts has left them in big trouble. so australia's 6th win in 7 games guarantees them a top 4 finish in a semifinal place england remain 4th in the table but bangladesh sri lanka and pakistan below them all have a chance of overhauling them and getting into the knockout stage italy continued to enjoy their 1st women's world cup for 20 years and or into the quarter finals they were 2 no winners over china in the last 16 tire valentino. and their daughter girlie scoring the goals the last time italy reached this stage was in 1901. there was late drama as the netherlands beat the 2011 champions japan leka martin's last minute penalty clinched

. >> reporter: the tears started even before the big reveal. 19-year-old elijah barron in a tuxedo andng bone cancer. the tears elijah says are because he knows what's about to happen. >> i was like crying before i even left the room. i felt good that they would do that just for me, take time out of their day. come to my ball. >> reporter: too weak to attend the senior ball, doctor's orders. >> look at this, senior ball! for elijah! >> reporter: his classmates brought the ball to him. inside of his hospital. everyone in formal attire. everything from a selfie booth to photo props, even a sit-down dinner. a rite of passage for every graduate of liverpool high school in upstate new york. the special ceremony, his mom's idea. the children's hospital said go for it, even buying supplies. >> mom, she's always been my superhero. >> reporter: elijah returning the favor, putting on his own show at graduation. one more surprise. elijah walking across the stage to get his diploma. >> i have one of the greatest warriors ever. he's a very strong individual. and i love him. >> strong family. strong

"axios" market editor, and "barron's" senior reporter mary childs. mary, this tightens up a lot of areas. specifics are unclear but where is this going? >> well that's a tough question. i think the market has gotten used to this kind of uncertainty from the president. leaned heavily on this if we're in holding pattern, let's rally. the fed is playing ball, everything on that front is okay, we can calculate that. from a market perspective no way to price in what the president will or won't do, no way to predict it. without any clarity, knowing the next step, we're waiting and rallying in the meantime. neil: john, we were in a position before rifts with iran or opec where we have kind of a blase market response. >> yeah, and you're right. it will be hard to determine what china and india are going to do. we're asking them not to take oil from iran. they need it for their economies. undoubtedly will be discussed at the g20 meeting when the president meets with xi xinping. neil: how can we punish the chinese more? >> if anything, iran has been cozying up

"barron's" writing a piece saying at&t should sell directv to dish and that regulators might say yes this time. we reach out to both companies from comment and are waiting to hear back. over to you. >> julia, thanks very much for that dish higher by 3 1/2%. at&t about a percent or so bob, what's your take on this? a little bit more of chopping and changing the assets. do you think that makes sense? >> well, i think at&t is trying to rationalize some of its assets and i think given the changing landscape everybody's trying to figure out the next -- where they should be in five, ten years. so whatever their strategic plan is in doing this, and i don't know it well, but i think that' clearly what's going on. we're going to see more announcements from more companies selling this in order to position themselves as best they can see into the future >> so much more still to come on the "closing bell. new york stock exchange president stacey cunningham squloin us to discuss the wave of recent ipos and whether that momentum will continue >> and speak of recent ipos, is beyond meat getting ahe

expected to sell around $205 million worth of product this year but has a $6 million market cap "barron'seyond meat has to perform like google did for ten years after its ipo to merit that valuation that was then. this is now. we will get -- we don't know when it will be the first time they reported earnings. so we don't know exactly when it's going to be but we do know they will have a conference call at the bottom of the hour. >> jane, great stuff that was just the preview. i can't wait for the delivery of the actual numbers when they come jane wells for us there. we've got some more trade details coming out kayla tausche's got that for us. hey, kayla >> hey, wilfred. with the markets hanging on every piece of news around this u.s.-mexico negotiation we want to play some remarks that the mexican ambassador to the u.s. just made to some reporters including our cnbc intern gracie kref as she was leaving the white house you just a few minutes ago. take a listen. it was a very good discussion, a very good debate, and we explained to them all the enforcement measures that mexico is taking to

barron's reporting that some hedge funds are taking big stakes in that coffee chain. at $17 a share, went public at $17, now it's at $21. >>> look at fed ex. ubs cut their price target from $161 to $136. ubs thinks they are going down from here. $153 is the current quote. >>> how about apple. after almost two decades, the company's getting rid of itunes. well, that's big news. susan: i'm sure you will miss it. after 18 years, we have the itunes finally splitting up into three different segments so you have apple music, apple tv, and podcasts. apple music has roughly 56 million subscribers worldwide. still below spotify which has 100 million subscribers. but apple has telestrated this and the bulk of this will hinge on the breakup and remodeling of itunes into three different business segments. stuart: allow me to say i think you missed the point. susan: have i? okay. what is the point? stuart: the point is people don't download music any longer. they stream it. ashley: right. stuart: that's why apple is doing this. susan: that's right. you're right, it's true, people

want to bring jack hough back into this, barron's senior editor. that doesn't look good. >> that's the number to beat right there. that's your competition. stuart: 2.08. >> know what else is pretty close to 2%? the dividend yield on the s&p 500. you buy stocks here, you get that much dividend. you probably get more because dividends tend to grow over time. even in a world without gains, you are just as well off. i think it's pretty easy for investors to keep putting money into stocks. i think the market moves higher because rates are so low. stuart: well, that's a big deal here. you've got rates down at 2.08 on the ten-year, you have only 27,000 new jobs created according to adp in the latest month. that shows real economic weakness. yet you want to put more money into stocks? >> you've got the fed at the same time saying look, if these trade tensions make you worse off, we are willing to cut rates to give more support to this expansion. interest rates are the most powerful force in the financial universe right now. however, i would point out for l

barron's says they quote, might take off but it's not a buy. don't know what that means.4%. $186 on tesla. got it. >>> netflix, loop capital upgraded that stock to a buy from a hold. they've got some clout, i guess. their guy appears on the show occasionally. they are up 14 bucks at $350 this morning. >>> look at this. shades of the london trip for the president. a pub owner in london renamed his bar in honor of the president's visit. he called it, you can see it there, the trump arms. we have the owner of that pub on the show coming up very shortly. i'm working to keep the fire going for another 150 years. ♪ to inspire confidence through style. ♪ i'm working to make connections of a different kind. ♪ i'm working for beauty that begins with nature. ♪ to treat every car like i treat mine. ♪ at adp we're designing a better way to work, so you can achieve what you're working for. ♪ back then, we checked our zero times a day. times change. eyes haven't. that's why there's ocuvite. screen light... sunlight... longer hours... eyes today are stressed! but ocuvite has vital nutri
