it is interesting to note that evan williams, under the twitter cofounder is also selling shares.h difficult to read too into this. jackie tweet that he is investing in twitter to show support for its future. do happen forles many reasons. one thing that i have been looking at is that jack has been tweeting up a storm the last few this newtaking over job. he seems to be a one-man band, trying to prove to people why you should be using twitter. he is tweeting emoticons, share sales, to celebrities. if you look at the tweet about sharesng it has 200 free -- retweets. it is illuminating about the value proposition between twitter and facebook. facebook has so many more users. and if the argument is that you should come and lesser content here, it is not a strong argument because the users are not there. betty: thank you. do not forget to tune into the request at 4:30 p.m. eastern. another stock that we are watching today is shake shack. thats of the burger chain shares of the burger chain reporting after the close. michael hill and joins us now from princeton new jersey with more. we

jack was forced out before for evan williams who is now going to work with him.witter is such a dramatic, like a soap opera in a lot of ways of it will be interesting. them working together will be interesting. adam bane i have nothing but high regard for, top executive. >> we were just talking, he was saying they are one night's sleep away from making the right decision, turning things around and that would be if they turned twitter just from a straw for information and data into a fire hose. >> he said that. >> i'm just wondering what your thoughts on that -- >> there's a lot of directions it could go with twitter. i personally think it should be sold to a bigger company, my feelings. i know they say it reaches all these people, it could be, a great advertising medium. seems like attaching itself to a larger steam engine, like a google, just makes more sense, it would work better. that said you lose innovation. >> seems so obvious to me, that conclusion. your reporting said google is not going to do this. >> said why they wouldn't. >> when you think about it, w

board of directors should put this looming uncertainty to rest by naming jack dorseyed m bane and evan williamsthe company's leaders and let everybody go back to work. dan. >> i don't think there's anything new here. i think chris saka has been very smart about what he's been critical about as it relates to the company. he's not been dogging them. i think with the stock making a new all-time low today, $1 above their november 2013 ipo price i think investors are really -- they need to see more clarity. the company has not done that so far. but i will say that expectations may be low enough now, 26 bucks, if it hits there early next week you may see some bells ring in some people's heads. round trip the whole move from the ipo. so i think you have a situation where you have very poor sentiment, the stock is amazingly oversold and you have some catalysts in the near future. >> what's the trade? >> this is one where i don't think carter and mike nailed this one a couple weeks ago prior to the earnings event. i think buying this stock right here i think you're throwing something up against the wall

he said of jack dorsey and evan williams can work something out where they are somehow in the leadershiptter, he thinks that be the best thing for twitter. he thinks they should be running the show, but certainly does not know how it is like to play out. we are all anxiously awaiting that. we know that twitter board should be meeting this week, so perhaps we will have information then. alix: good stuff. for more from amber lee and the full interview, tune into bloomberg "west." -- for more from emily chang in the full interview, tune in to bloomberg "west." the charts and the technical levels you need to watch headed into september coming up. ♪ alix: getting you caught up on the markets and what they are doing with matt miller in the newsroom. quite a month for the markets. give us broad perspective. for me as a reporter probably the most fun i have had all year but it you are a long .nvestor, not cool at all for the dow jones industrial average, the worst month we have seen it since may of 2010. over five years for the s&p. the worst month since september 2011. for the nasdaq, the worst

you know that big anniversary in twitter said a couple of weeks ago that he thinks evan williams shoulde named chairman, and jack dorsey should be named c.e.o. of twitter and remain c.e.o. of square. just because that is what he wants doesn't mean that is what the search committee is going to do. there is talk there will be a board change up after this. that is coming from our twitter reporter, who reported that dick is likely to leave as soon as a new c.e.o. is chosen and that the board in general is going to be looking for more diverse candidates that are more representative of what twitter should be in the future, a company focused on media and technology. i take a little bit of issue ith some of the specifics that bob check chose. he singled out a couple of board candidates he thinks will leave. some of those are actually on the search committee. it seems unlikely that someone who is choosing the new c.e.o. is going to leave as soon as that choice is made. betty: i thought jack dorsey has said he is not interest in running the company permanently? >> he has not said that. nobody kno

and that person would have to report to three persons, costolo, co-founder jack dorsey and evan williamslast month, williams said he'd be willing to step down if a new ceo would prefer not to have three formal bosses as director. now very interesting place action in shares of twitter over the last couple of weeks. we heard from twitter in terms of earnings. profit actually beat expectations, but its guidance was disappointing and negative commentary from jack dorsey, as well as the cfo, that resulted in twitter shares lower. just one dollar away from its ipo price. >>> apple is getting set to lift the curtain on more new products. buzzfeed reports the company will show off a new iphone and apple tv at an event on september 9th. the next iphone is expected to have a touch display which senses how hard someone is pressing on the screen, similar to the apple watch, it will also have a better camera and faster wireless chips. let's have a look at price action flat ahead of today's trade that hasn't opened yet. but over the last three months, down some 10%. >>> still to come -- controversial

dick costolo, the former ceo on the board, peter fenton, david rosenblatt, evan williams, one of the founders, peter churnin who used to be head of twenty-first century fox entertainment. why aren't they in a little bit of a let's get going mode and name a new ceo? >> it's interesting, looks like they were talking down the stock, too. the executives. liz: they were selling. >> but talking down the stock. they were saying that metrics are bad. i would just say this, if you're for an investor, this is something to watch, interesting gamble. let it go below 25 before you start jumping in here. i think that's the level where it becomes, there are trophies, mark zuckerberg might want the trophy if it gets cheap enough. liz: i can't wait to see who the new ceo will be. thank you, charlie gasparino. >>> the closing bell 31 minute away, bill o'reilly helping donald trump or not prepare for tomorrow's debate. bill o'reilly demanding real answers on real issues. >> we want straight talk? obviously you give straight talks, i don't think you're going to make nieto pay for the wall. you might pro

this issue of insiders finally buying but you still have co-founder evan williams who has been selling, so dorsey buys, a couple of board members buy, the guy who is leading the search committee buys. what's the story here? >> so twitter right now is trading $28 and i want to buy twitter. the reason as we talked about it last week on the show, we talked about it as it related to earnings a month ago and i felt that the risk was to the down side. i think the stock has washed itself. i think it could go and i'll call it a day. the focus is on what they're doing. not just jack dorsey. anthony nodo and jack dorsey's buys are much different to what the history of what jack dorsey has done on his transaction. he sold a lot. he has been an aggressive seller. go look at our producer twitter feed. look at john malloy at cnbc. they put out for you the list of what they've done the last six months on twitter. it's been active selling. >> why put any faith in them if they're net sellers. >> i think the guys who right now are in control are the guys that need to as we talked about last week that st

him there is a good second-choice solution for this and everyone knows how good adam bain is and evan williamsemendous product visionary. the three of them together is probably what's necessary to help turn the media problem around. >> don't you risk having too many well-known chefs in one kitschen? >> i think you do. i think part of what's happened the last couple of weeks, discussion, how they'll work together, how they'll share the duties and how they will ultimately engineer the turn-around. do you think at some point that dorsey will have to make a decision if in fact he's the guy? the board we thought made it pretty clear. they wanted somebody who is solely focused on twitter. not one who is dividing his time between two companies, one of which could soon go public in its own right. >> we agree. but i think maybe more importantly than that is the three of them went to the board with a cohesive plan. that may trump that. and maybe the best decision for twitter, the company as well as twitter shareholders. >> i see that you think there's a board shake-up that will happen as a result of thi

bob peck was quick to point out that co-founder evan williams continues to sell his stock.ever the case, twitter share are now within $1 of the ipo price and at the lows of the day at this moment. down more than 2%. that's the story there now before the break i mentioned that ron insana was going to call in. he was going to call in because he disagrees with what larry mcdonald of soc-gen says. ron are you here? >> i am. >> we appreciate you watching -- >> every day. >> appreciate it. make your case here, what's the problem with larry's thesis. >> well larry andvy had this argument for going on six years that there was an imminent bear market and recession around the corner for every year for past six years, based on whether it was fed policy irresponsible. whether it was based on heavy indebtedness by the u.s. government there are a concerns, certainly as the fed starts to raise interest rates, we might see something akin to a deep correction. you can always have a bear market. it doesn't mean that the world is ending. it doesn't mean that you're necessarily going into rece

he was known as bryce williams during his tv year, evan perez is working his sources. what are you learning and about his possible motive, and the manifesto received by abc news. >> it is gunman is believed to have sent a 23-page rambling suicide letter claiming he was a human powderkeg, angry about racial grievances for years. the letter is believed to be from vester flan aga using his on-air name bryce williams. it arrived by fax this morning at abc news. the letter says in part, quote -- yes, it will sound like i'm angry. i am. and i have every right to be, but when i leave this earth, the only emotion i want to feel is peace. >> the letter writer expresses administration for our mad shooters, including the ones at virginia tech and columbine high school, but his final motivation was the june charleston church massacre. in that shooting nine people were at a bible study at a historic african-american church, gunned down by a white gunman. the letter says, in part, quote, the church shooting was the tipping point, but my anger has building steadily. i've been a human

no longer in his position, and have mentioned darrell clarke, seth williams, vincent hughes, michael nutter, doug oliver, dwight evanswhat do you think, george? >> well, let me first say congressman fattah is my friend and has been my friend and will be my friend as we go through this process. i don't think he's going to step aside, and i do think he's gonna run for reelection next year. you know, these allegations have been out there for a long time. in fact, they were out there when he ran the last time, and he got 85% of the vote the last time, and so it's not gonna be easy to take him out, even with this situation. it will not have been -- there will be no court process. there will still be allegations when he runs next year, and i think -- and i spend a lot of time. we play golf together. he is my friend, and so -- and he's very comfortable with challenging these allegations against him and believes he'll be acquitted. >> this process takes a long time, and so it'll be a year and a half before we really know what's going on, so that i think he feels it's important for him to really find all the facts, to be able

as a historian, evan has made his mark writing impressive biographies about williams, robert kennedy, john paul jones and dwight eisenhower. in very best mini profile for figures the ran covert u.s. operations in the 1950s and '60s. in the weisman he and walter isaacson told the stories of a handful of outside u.s. government personalities who shaped the post-cold war period. and in the best selling sea of thunder, he caught up the conflict in the pacific, report to. in "being nixon," his newest books, evan provides a well researched updated view of her controversial 37th president who's very mixed legacy, many of us are still wrestling with. evan himself notes in the acknowledgment that as a creature of the east coast media establishment, which nixon despised, he may not have it considered especially bifold nixon hands as inclined to approach a subject with objectivity and fairness. by evan is to enforce balanced reporting and knack for glory articulating complex topics. he set out to try to get past what he calls the cartoon version of nixon and explained with evenhandedness and ins
