in the civil rights bill, he's a background actor behind russell and others. but he is an important voice in the opposition. >> i noticed we are listening to this lecture and the richard russell building. was his opposition to the civil rights act considered when they considered naming a building after him? >> not really because they were naming buildings for other reasons. he died in 1971 and they named the building in 1972. it was a fresh memory. even among those who opposed him, russell was very respected. he was a senator's senator who had been a skilled parliamentarian for many years. he fought many legislative battles, won some and lost others. he proved to be a very worthy opponent to people. people inside the senate have great respect for richard russell. even hubert humphrey, on the opposite spectrum on civil rights issues, have great respect for richard russell. when they named the building in 1972, they did so in honor of a colleague who died recently and had been well respected. it was not on the legislative agenda. we would see it that way now. in

main conflict was not between dirks and humphrey versus russell, but between humphrey and dirks and whether those two leaders could craft a bill that would pull along enough republicans to break the filibuster. >> my take on it was a little different. i always thought the big 17, whose picture is over there, including john tower and robert byrd of west virginia, honorary southerners -- >> not always honorary.

success of shepherding this bill through unique to his background obviously in the senate and to what he brought to the table, you're talking about the relationship with russellhis one-time mentor. can you talk about that and how he was uniquely positioned historically? >> no question, lyndon johnson was the master of the congress, had been so for a time. he brought all of those skills to bear on this. he would call congressmen up at midnight, 6:00 in the morning, and he would say, i hope i didn't wake you up and he would say, i was just laying here hoping that my president would call. he had a huge list so when he called them up he could say, hey, you want that federal judgeship, you want that pardon? do you want that river navigation in your area? now all of it is so transparent and it's considered a means to an end. lots of deals were made to get that passed. but he knew what to do and how to give credit to the people. he told dirkson, if you break that filibuster, the naacp will be flying your banner 299 years from now. school children will know only two names. how could he resist? >> doris kearns goodwin, thank you for your knowledge. >> glad to be here

russell was a little weaker into the close. let's get right to it with today's panel and talk about these minutes. nathan joins me. billstephanie ling, scott cohen and also joining sus"fast money" trader john najarian and steve liesman. welcome, everybody. steve, it's been two hours since those minutes hit. do you think they were the main reason why stocks pushed a little bit higher later in the session? >> you definitely saw a reaction to the minutes following the 2:00 release, kelly. and i think the reason is that everything in the minutes is gradual. the fed gave some certainty around the end of qe happening in october. pretty much along the line of market expectations. and then gave us detail around when it will begin to normalize policy, how it will do so. you didn't get the sense of a fed in a hurry. if the market liked anything about these minutes it was the sense that even after the 288,000 jobs on thursday, the decline in the unemployment rate, 6.1%, the fed is in no hurry to withdraw system us about but on track deliberating right now on how to do so next year. >> maybe markets are overextended. maybe we'll n

russell 2000 lately. this is one sector that really is kind of having its own correction right now, isn't it? >> it certainly is, bill, down a little more than 9.5%, but the bottom really occurred in the middle of may. so, you could actually say that the sell in may is working if you're looking at small caps specifically, but it seems as if it's bounced off of that danger zone and now is trying to work its way back to break even. >> eric, what can you tell us about the action you're seeing? >> well, i'm not actually surprised. the russell 2000, if you look at its performance last year, was astounding. i mean it was out-pacing large cap significantly. coming into the year, we were concerned about pockets of valuation problems within the 2,000, particularly biotech, some of the higher flying tech names. you've seen corrections. we think that the market is going to move forward and the russell 2000's driven by the domestic economy, which we think is straelengthening. >> david, is this the correction we've been waiting for, it doesn't happen to the whole market, just to segments of the market instead? >> well, that's wha

bill. now the dow is off 1.6%. 267 points. we needed to add 50 if we wanted to be positive on the month. >> the dow is down 1.6%. the russell is down 2.3%. the small cap stocks are taking a big hit today. another recent leader in this market to the up side, the transportation stocks, down sharply as well today, down 115 points. >> a lot of breadth across the sell-offs, it is pretty indiscriminate. if you are a value investor, that should mean opportunity. but the vix popping by about three points today, at 16.5. we haven't seen a move like that in that index in quite some time. >> here's how we stand right now. >> the dow off 263 points. 16,616 is where we are trading now. nasdaq off 1.9%, shedding just about 83 points on the session. 4,380 or so is the level. the s&p 500 over 33, down all the way -- below 1,940 down to 1,937 at the moment. >>> let's get to it. cnbc heather hughes from the sun america funds, doug walford forecommercial wealth advisors. jo duran from financial capital advisors here with the at the big board, and our own rick santelli. rick, what is the market telling you? the yields were going up, then they

bill, karen, back to you guys. >> all right, nbc's ayman mohyeldin in gaza. thank you. >>> let's talk about the markets right now. our closing bell exchange." doug gordon from russell investments, ron wiener from rdm financial group, anthony chan from chase and ken aeny polkari from o'neil securities. everybody here. kenny poe kari, another one of those days, a big sell-off on the open, comeback through the afternoon. what's going on today? >> right, because ultimately, i think once again, long-term investors understand that the short-term geopolitical influences are just that. they'll create this short-term aberration in the market, long-term investors will take advantage of that temporary dislocation, and then the market will once again stabilize. you saw it happen last week. you saw it happen again today with the market down 125 early on in the day. then as word came out that they're working on this cease-fire, you see the market steadily makes its way back, because in the end, it's going to be about earnings, it's going to be about the macro data, it's going to be about the recovering economies really around the world. >> katie, are you surprised by the resilie

the russell 2000, home to small cap and many speculative names which just witnessed its biggest weekly drop since may of 2012 is also selling off, down nearly 1%. so, bill and kelly, those comments from the fed definitely being felt by the markets. back to you. >> yeah, it was rather unpress den dented. let's talk about that in our "closing bell exchange." kelly connelly is with jhs capital advisers. rob morgan. david wright from sierra funds. cnbc contributor john rutledge with us today as well as michael block and our own rick santelli as well. >> yeah. guys, let's start off here, actually, we want to talk about the fed, we want to talk about social media stocks. michael block, what did you think about the way that janet yellen, while not herself specifically in the testimony, the report issued with her remarks this morning named these two sectors? >> yeah. you know, kelly, i think this was very distribueliberate and this was coming. i've been talking about this for a while now. back in march, bill dudley from the new york fed, usually known as being uber dovish, came out and talked about biotech stocks and about credit and he talked about social medi

bills dealing with federal student aid, including one today that would require recipients to receive periodic financial counseling. at 3:40 eastern, both chambers will observe a moment of silence for detective russell gibson, shot and killed at the u.s. capitol on this date, 16 years ago. as always, you can watch the house live on c-span. the senate is live on c-span 2. house budget committee chair paul ryan unveiled a new set of policies to address poverty and economic mobility. congressman ryan outlined those proposals at an event here in washington earlier today. >> so i would start a pilot program called an opportunity grant. it would consolidate up to 11 federal programs into one stream of funding to participating states. the idea would be, let states try different wads of providing aid and then in short more flexibility for more accountability. my thinking basically is, get rid of the bureaucratic formulas and put the resistance on results. participation would be voluntary. no state would be forced to join and we would not expand the program until all of the evidence was in. the point is, you don't just pass a law and hope for the best. if you've got an idea, let's try it. let's test it. see
