farr's argument. it concluded that north carolina legislature had intentionally discriminated in passing its voting laws, targeting african americans with, quote, surgical precision. that case represents just one of many times that mr. farr has defended powerful interests who discriminate against and harass those less powerful. i'll mention a few more. when north carolina redrew its district lines in a way that diluted the vote of african americans, mr. farr defended it. when the car rental company avis was sued for discriminating against african american customers, mr. farr was there once again defending discrimination. time after time mr. farr has defended racial discrimination. he has also defended discrimination against workers, discrimination against women, and discrimination against lgbtq individuals. for example, mr. farr defended an employer who created a toxic work environment for female employees, instructing them to wear skirts to attract clients, commenting that women belonged in the home

, the president of farr miller and washington. a cnbc contributor welcome back you agree with what you've heard on the desk or a different take? >> i agree with a lot of it. the markets are finally behaving the way markets should behave. ignoring a lot of the noise in the fish market and paying more attention to the price of fish that's what markets should be doing. they are pricing in, i think, a lot of the rhetoric and bombast in washington and again looking at the numbers art cashin sent out a note saying we went down and bounced off the 100-day moving average we're trying to get used to this president that doesn't listen to veto corleone advice this administration tells everyone what they are thinking. there are some crucial things at stake. overall, markets are up but markets are behaving rationally because the whipsaw was getting a bit weary. >> if the summit doesn't happen and things grow more contentuous with china over trade, what is the fallout in the market? >> the issue i think is really trade with china i think largel

farrs may say it is too afield decline, and i don't want to deal with it.ld rather retire and -- climb, and i don't want to deal with it. i would rather retire and do something else. wins, he may be back again to challenge conor lamb in the fall. conor lamb is a democrat presents as a republican, pro-gun, or conservative, who has gone out of his way not to offend transporters. shery: president trump's -- trump supporters. shery: president trump's approval rating has been going up as well. >> there is all the drama of the stories. there is the theater of stormy daniels and other things causing some people to think donald trump is in a lot of trouble and losing ground. that is not the case. donald trump is doing very strong in a state like pennsylvania. he is extremely strong. he has retained his base may be added some because of the strength of his economy and rolling back the individual mandate. they will see a president who has maintained a lot of his promises. even though the republican side will have an uphill battle against bob casey, don't count of tho

, president and ceo of farr miller, a cnbc contributor.n streak for the dow since february >> pretty good day many i think the markets are getting used to volatility and i think they're getting used to this headline news for this threat yesterday we had secretary pompeo negotiating as we do today in north korea and pulling out of the iran deal in the same time i think markets are processing it, stock markets are behaving in a bullish way >> we did see that big rise offer the back of those comments some might be surprised to see the strength given president trump exited the iran deal yes it was unexpected. but it creates an uncertain world. >> i think oil is separate from all the underlying good stories we've had first quarter annualized growth. we've seen wages grow at 2.6%. we've seen unemployment now at its lowest since 2000. i would go so far as to suggest we're at the beginning stages of a new bull market. this bull market is going to be driven by earnings growth. >> you're not afraid of rising rates? >> no, i think it's a good strong

let's dive into michael farr, a cnbc contributor michael, the markets are liking the softening of toneare you a buyer into it? do you think it changes the calculus on anything with regards to stocks? >> yes, i'm a buyer. but i'm a buyer at the right price. i don't think it changes the calculus broadly we found out certainly that the headlines from this administration give-and-take away and when we first saw tariffs and when we first heard the headlines and the president's quotation about, you know, trade wars aren't a big deal and they're easily won and we're going to go do it, markets didn't like it very much well, the flip side comes with us and we're getting buffeted by some wins at our back here i think we have to be a little bit cautious about how we react as investors to all of these headlines and pay more attention to the fundamentals, pay more attention to balance sheets and earnings growth. stocks aren't wildly overpriced at all, but they're not cheap. >> are they expensive? not cheap. cheep could mean they're too expensive. >> some are with, in my opinion, because -- and i wa

important as we exercise the things that we have to do as far as authorizing, as far as financing, and as farr as oversight of what this really, really important work is that the cia does. so for that, ms. haspel, you will be rewarded with my vote and i feel very comfortable about that and i sincerely appreciate your openness as we've met over the years and i've had the opportunity to ask you about the things that i needed to know as i discharge my obligations. i'm also persuaded greatly by the former directors both republicans and democrats who are enthusiastically supporting your appointment to this. i think that is very important. i'm also persuaded by something that i think other members of this committee have probably run across, and that is we all from this committee deal regularly with our partners in intel from foreign countries. as you know, that's critically important to the job of the cia and the other 16 intelligence agencies. those relationships, those contacts, those dealings we have with those foreign agencies are very important. and i have to tell you that uniformly people who

essentially it was you're being reaction farr x naction factio reactionary. and their pushed beyond diminishing returns. i thought in that sense zap is considered a military genius. perhaps if you'd been in one of the units, you might have a different view. >> i can tell you that down in iii corps at that time, it was not a big unit war. now, i've been doing within the last six months some research on the unit i commanded and the battalion. i came across one story where my company was in a fight and this account said we were fighting another -- nva or vc company. i had no idea how big their company was at the time. when you get in these kind of firefights like that, the quality of the soldier, the north vietnamese soldier, was hoping he wasn't very good. that -- because there's a lot of incoming fire. but the tactics changed from what happened in tet and some of the big unit fights. at times we would get into these close combat fights, generally speaking, there would be a short period of massive fire on both sides. and at that time, i would be deploying the c

time through the state constitution, and at the same time, we've got president trump pushing thomas farr on to the bench in north carolina in a predominantly african-american area of the state. and he of course very notably defended the law that targeted african-americans back then. he has a record of defending voter suppression that goes back to the 90s with jesse helms, senator helms, he was a lawyer for his campaign when he was accused of intimidating black voters. so i think that at the state and federal level, attacks on voting rights is something i'm concerned about. >> building on that, i am extremely concerned about the citizenship question on the up coming 2020 census for several reasons most obviously because it is going to undoubtedly suppress the vote among immigrant and minority communities but also because it's pretty clear that this question is designed to serve a different purpose, which is that red states have long wanted to redistrict counting not all people but all citizens. so excluding immigrants from their count of population. and then redistrict along those lines.

joining us is rachel farr, employment lawyer at taylor wesson.ent to which it is an issue in any particular office will vary across the country but overall it is something in players need to take very seriously, and to encourage employees to call it out whenever they see it happening. when you say, call it out, what kind of legal rights with employees have if they are experiments kind of language or culture at work? in terms of the law, it is harassment of an employee. there is a unwanted conduct which is connected to what we call a protected characteristic, something like sex, age, race, so one, which has the effect of violating that person's dignity or creating a degrading, humiliating, offensive environment for them at work. you can completely see how if you are in an office for a workplace where that kind of language is being bandied around, it could make you feel very uncomfortable. you wouldn't have to prove that you yourself were menopausal for example, any woman could find that very inoffensive. mutch could find that very offensive. there
