steve forbes, forbes media chairman. what did you think of this report? >> the report was a good one across the board. investment i think will go up once we get trade worries out of the way. the inventories bounced back from the second quarter. overall very solid. nothing to shed tears here. the fact the market tumbled on it, the market is worried about the future. not what is happening in the present. melissa: poke a few holes, higher borrowing costs had a impact on car buying and housing costs. those are purchases people were more reluctant to make in this report. >> but they have been buying elsewhere. consumer outlays were big driver. people's patterns may change but spending still going upward. melissa: although we don't want everybody to spend too much. i always get nervous when you say that. >> not if you're retailer. melissa: yeah, right. there you go. moving into the next quarter do you think they keep up this rate? when various white house spokespeople out during the day, they were a little bit more shy about the future i would characterize it?

director forbes, how do you feel that the changes will impact us? >> overall, there's not substantial impact on us. we always go through the phases where the board tries to cut some things and they did this year and we made agreements to reduce our operating budget a little bit, which on balance should be a help to us because it increases our fund balance. there's been changes in the operating budget, which margaret described, which is to our benefit. and allocating our interest earnings and funding to where we need it in the capital side, especially on the bond program. overall, the commission's budget has held. a vast majority of it has held and we will be able to do a good job within our allocation in occcurrent year or next year. >> commissioner woo ho: if we cut our operating expenses, i assume our surplus is increasing. >> it does, but you don't see that in these figures. whatever we don't spend, accrued to fund balance and we can allocate it to future capital. it's the year-end savings. is that right? >> commissioner woo ho: instead of lookin

bezos is also the first person to appear with a fortune of over $100 billion is forbes pegged his netth at $160 billion. but it's already higher since they closed the list the "forbes'" realtime index puts him at 161 and the bloomberg realtime index putting him at 162 gates second at $97 billion. the minimum net worth to even make the list this year was a record $2.1 million. more than a third of the nation's billionaires were too poor to make the cut now, there were 50 newcomers on the list ripple's chris larson, he's the first cryptobillionaire. drew houston of drop box entered the list and my favorite, the burger heiress, lindsay snyder. she's the youngest person on the "forbes'" 400 at a mere 36 she inherited the in-n-out burger chain, one of my favorites. >> and what happened to donald trump's net worth in the past year >> it stayed the same. he actually slid 11 spots on the list, pause people passed him, but his net worth stayed flat from last year at $3.1 billion it's down from $4.5 billion in 2015 and "the new york times" out with a story today, saying that a lot of that wealt

last night, there was an article that commissioner gottlieb wrote five years ago for forbes. and he talked about how the tobacco control act, the bill passed in 2009 by congress, that it was supposed to give a route, give a pathway for less harmful tobacco and nicotine products to come to market. and so i see that in his writing. when he spoke last year at the fda, july 26th, the last year and said, smokers smoke for the nicotine, but the nicotine is not the major cause of the death and disease, that is caused primarily by inhaling burning smoke. that kind of rhetoric, that kind of language is great. but in terms of what i disagree with him on, i think that the way that he is presenting this issue ignores a lot of the adult smokers that have benefited from these products. and i also think that the agency under commissioner gottlieb's experience, his leadership, he has not done enough to actually make sure fda is complying with the law. there is a product called icos, a heat-not-burn tobacco product that has helped several many smokers quit worldwide. fda has missed their stat
