david: thank you for pronouncing correctly, francesca. liz: you saw gold dropping more than $20.ally like a lead balloon. liz: either way it closed below $1400 a troy ounce which is a key level and oil falling on possible concerns of a u.s. military strike in syria. david: we have two big people to talk about the two big commodity moves for you. we have our own sandra smith. she is in the pits of the cme and phil flynn of the price futures group. good to see you both, folks. a lot of move of oil and gold was because of lack of fear, the idea perhaps we would not be hitting syria anytime soon but the fact is we just had the congress essentially give their stamp of approval to the president's actions in syria if they want to be. will we see the opposite move tomorrow, sandy? >> hey, right now the oil market, goldmarkket, there is a lot of bearish momentum there. there was such a premium built up in the price of oil that topped 112 last week. gold prices as you said, liz, topped 1400. david: sandy, let me stop you there for a second because if tomorrow we see some concerted action i

i agree with francesca. all politics is local. a range of local strategies can help deal with this.t we've seen. so there's this idea that we can keep having the merry-go-round of the same conversation about what would or would not have worked. children are dying while politicians are prever kating and -- >> victoria, quickly, last word on this. a lot of political action groups against guns such as mayors against illegal guns. they've had very little success in turns public opinion towards new gun laws. why do you think that is? >> well, again, i keep coming back to all politics is local. let's take folks here in texas. they don't like seeing a movement led by michael bloomberg. what is a new yorker telling texans what to do? where you need the action is at the grass roots level. you can't have outside forces. people will just shut off and not listen. >> all right. you're going to have the last word on that. thanks so much for joining us. >>> that does it for us. thanks for watching this sunday afternoon. i'll be right back here at 5:00 p.m. eastern time for coverage of the u.s. nav

and i have been waiting on when the agenda comes to see whether or not a motion that commissioner francesca made and it was seconded by commissioner anson moran, a meeting to come about because you wanted to know about the southeast sector and i'm talking about the community college as well as the sewage plant. so far, that meeting have not been called. i've been waiting for your powerpoint, for someone to come and explain to you the purpose for all the things that has happened. this that i passed around shows what my community have gone through since the 60's, what other programs that we have supported and we have supported you, at least you know i have, making sure that the sewage plant stay in one location when other people want it to be moved out of the community. i think it is unfair that your staff, and i know you're going to say it's not your staff, but they're under you, you should know who they are and what they are doing to come into my community and rearrange and try to change things that we put together many years ago. i want to say this to you. i've had attorneys to contact me

shares of francescas fell sharply after the company reported weaker than expected earnings and said sales would continue to decline. it's the latest to take a hit from cautious spending as they forgo impulse items like shoes and dresses and focus on houses and cars. the stock fell 26% to $17.79. >>> a different story for sienna, this network equipment maker reporting a narrower than expected loss and strong revenue growth. they are benefitting from tell lacombe carrier upgrading the wireless and wire network. the stock soaring almost 14% to $23.54 and that's also a good trend news for sienn aerks's rivals that rose today. >>> shares of navistar says it will cut 500 jobs. they say the core truck business was hurt by a failed redesign and lower industry demand. the stock fell more than 2% to $33 and change. >>> dollar general's earnings beat expectations. the value retailer attracted customers into the stores by selling more groceries and brand name products and reported sales growth that exceed the the competito competitors. frugal shoppers, however, are making it difficult to raise prices

francesca [speaker not understood]. the [speaker not understood] whit kerr. [speaker not understood]. and one more, susie wirawate. ~ >>> thank you, supervisors, for having this hearing today. i just want to say -- my name is kevin [speaker not understood]. i'm a former student body city college. [speaker not understood] working with our youth organizing program. and this issue about saving city college is really important to us and the students that we work with. city college is a staple of education within the city. we don't only want to see city college saved. we want to see city college improved. we want to see city college addressing some of the historic issues of racial inequity, the achievement gap for students of color, especially african-american students, the amount of time that it takes students to graduate when they get into city college. so, we were really would like to see you take leadership in bringing the community together to build more support around saving city college, while most definitely including the fact we need to strive to improve

no hizo esperar, reaccionÓ, y le dijo lo siguiente, me pareciÓ interesante, francesca tiene 37 aÑos, en el twitter. >>> en serio? >>> imagÍnate si soy bueno, no me di cuenta. >>> no te metas en lÍos. >>> cancelaron la cuenta de ximena. yÁÑez tranquilo, no pasa nada. >>> el que nada debe nada teme. >>> estuviste casado? >>> nunca. >>> tienes una hija por ahÍ perdida. >>> no. >>> gracias a dios me supe cuidar muy bien. >>> muy bien. >>> lo tengo en otro video, este es comprometedor. >>> que lo muestre. >>> con menos ropa que el anterior. >>> ay, ay. >>> gracias hermano, nos vamos con satcha pretto, que tiene noticias muy pero muy imposr tantes, satcha pretto, por favor. >>> tal vez me presta la lupa mÁs adelante, para ver si consigo informaciÓn exclusiva para ustedes, vamos con noticias, la enorme devastaciÓn que se vive en mÉxico por tormentas manuel e Íngrid conmueven al papa francisco, como signo de solidaridad, dijo que estÁ apenado por dramaticas consecuencias de los fenÓmenos naturales, y ofrece el sufragio por el descanso de los fallecidos, y dice que busca consuelo para los que

that was francesca with doctors without borders and concerns from the humanitarian sectors. >> reporter goma, transfer that everyone in football has been talking about is about to happen and gareth bale, maybe it happened, gareth bale is with madrid for a world record, $132 million. the deal for bale was a day before the transfer window closes, the fee about $132 million, is the 5th time the world transfer record has been broken in the last 14 years, all five have been broken by madrid, the previous record is $120 million, that is the fee they paid for the portageeze in 2009. a few weeks earlier in 2009 he recruited a man from milan paying $85 million and world champions held the record for 8 years when he moved to $18 million. and lewis was $56 and richardson earns slightly less. >> reporter: gareth bale has visited the stadium before two years ago, now he will be coming to stay. bale has a consistent match when he performs for the spurs and named the player of the year last season. but he lacks the international profile that is normally in attendance for a fee of this size and fans ar

the second charlie and francesca talk about. a simple failure to show up. there are good people talking about this in meaningful humanizing way. i think you saw it with governor walker, mike huckabee, who is speaking tonight, is one of the best people at making abstract concept to people who don't necessarily agree with him relate. as a movement i think we need do a better job with this pep we talked about the involvement. i would like to draw a paralegal to legal immigration reform. so we have a lot of legal immigrants and conservatives ought to celebrate legal immigrants. it's really a fundamental value of the country that the tired, the poor, the folks from around the world who strive for a better life can come here and achieve a better life. and you know what happens if you go to a citizenship ceremony you walk out the doors and the democratic party is there and liberal activists there republican people egger to edge brace new citizens and share them their value. i think we pass up the opportunities to engage. we often talk about these sort of economic

these numbers other than francesca's are going the other way.nd finally the heavily shorted names, les moonves, cbs, he was on "squawk box" this morning and the gang asked him how people are watching television, and les said they're watching netflix. bingo, 52-week high for netflix. zillow went up a when we learned that australian billionaire james packer has taken a 9.4% stake in the company. herbalife went up to $64.14 on news one that bill steritz who has engineered so many deals in the food segment is the largest shareholder. besides being a short seller's football, herbalife is indeed in the food and drink business, nutritional supplements. hey, amazon and kindle gave us a new e-reader. we have one more upgrade, sell to hold of best buy. the left for dead retailer is one of the best performers of the year. what i don't like about this market is that every day is case by case. if the president runs an uncertainty in syria, the feds are not staying accommodative. on days like this you have to wonder why the fed has kept rates down. but if int

vera and francesca are two stocks i do not want to date. next week, we'll hear plenty of news out of conferences and earnings, but macro will set the tone. but, look, it's syria and it's interest rates and companies tossed about, they're like boats in a gigantic bathtub, let's let the water out. "mad money" will be right back. >>> coming up -- wireless wonder? cramer's got a $3 spec stock that may be ready to boost your signal as the world continues to become more mobile, is now the time to make this connection? and later -- timken has been red hot since cramer visited one of the plants last year and news of a plant split is heating up the stock. is the breakup value just beginning to build? don't miss the exclusive with its ceo just ahead. plus -- going for gotham, about to elect a new mayor and with so much hanging in the balance, cramer's getting you inside the race. tonight, billionaire candidate on his plans to renew new york. all coming up on "mad money." >>> don't miss a second of "mad money." follow @jimcramer on twitter. have a que

." >>> women's apparel retailer francesca's plummeting today after it missed analyst forecast. they have been hurt by slower customer traffic and also in the gifts category. other gift components are taking a hit as well, bed, bath and beyond and williams sonoma as well. >> thank very much. >> august was a stellar month for auto sales. phil lebeau, what's been selling and what's not? >> everything has been sell, mandy, and i know that sounds clic cliche, but it's hard to find any dogs in the august sales numbers. take a look at all the major brands and what they did. you will see these increases in sales, anywhere between 12 and 22%, 23%. the important thing is to know that these are all anywhere between 5% and 7%, better than what wall street was expecting and bmw brand sales in the month of august, listen to this, up 45%. transaction price for the entire industry topping $31,000, close to an all-time high so what's driving what brought people into the showroom in the month of august? three things. stronger consumer confidence, heard this from all the auto executives on the sa

and then we'll finish off with women's specialty retailer, francesca's, reporting earnings, sales, and a forecast that all missed expectations. the negative trifecta. slower customer traffic and weaker results in the gifts business are taking a toll on sales, maria. they've lost a quarter of their value in just today's trading alone. back over to you. >> all right, dom, thank you so much. >>> another glitch at the nasdaq today caused a six-minute outage. bertha coombs has the story. over to you. >> reporter: much more contained this time, maria. once again, a systems failure with the feed that provides the quotes on nasdaq stocks. didn't actually impact trading. nasdaq said at around 11:35 this morning they had a server failure. the system -- the backup system kicked in, and about six minutes later, everything was restored. the nasdaq said it only impacted a limited range of stock tickers. what's interesting is this obviously comes two weeks after we saw that major outage that saw all trading halted in nasdaq securities for three hours. now, the nyse arca said its experience was differ

francesca's, an apparel play down again. the only apparel play that's working is g3, which is sports apparel. that should help a couple other companies involved including pvh. >> only one here on the quarter was inventory shrinkage, also known as theft, is on the rise. also keeping our eye on apple. a couple of big things today. invite to the event on september 10th has gone out. it's going to be in cooper tin no. 1:00 p.m. eastern time. a separate invite to an event in beijing. all of the rumor mill is in chatter. >> the people who had price targets that were cut, cut, cut, now have to raise, raise, raise. wells fargo going in there and saying, look, there are some real possible earnings growth. six bucks more because of the flexibility with the carriers. meanwhile, we still don't get any news. >> flexibility with the carriers? >> listen, i read. i mean, i thought they were somewhat flexible but nokia is a great latin play, latin america play because there they don't have the distribution. you actually go buy the phone. eve
