tom keene with brendan greeley. this has to do with the equity markets and tony dwyer with us this morning. i thought this was really interesting to this downward shift in margin debt. that is to borrow to buy stocks is a material signal to be at least demonstrably less involved on the long side of the market. having been a bowl on equities for a very long hole, we cannot and we will not shift from bullish to bearish in one swift change of heart. but there's a tendency here and the nuance here that margin is adding so as to add our enthusiasm. do you look at margin debt? tony: i look at some degree. margin debt -- my buddy who is a well-known economist pointed out that the computation changed a few years back. it have to be careful on how you use it relative to it. tom: this is a frosty market. to get to dennis this point, are we in a frothy state? is it healthy for the market? tony: i do not think it is near a frothy state. how can you call 17 times earnings a frothy state? i'm not going to make a comment on robert

the democrats were so desperate that they nominated greeley as well.he still won the white house with 66% of the popular vote, which still is a very substantial win. another measurement of grant's effectiveness as president was during the second term in toward the end of his second term there was a movement against his running for a third term. i think that is a measure of his effectiveness because that movement came about because his enemies thought this guy is so effective and popular he could probably get a third term. so they began to talk about the two-term tradition. we don't want to break that. it was a way of saying, in a negative way, this man was doing a popular job in the white house, and so they invoke this notion that somehow this violates our ancient customs by putting this man forward for a third term. presidents were not limited to two terms constitutionally at that time. after four years being out of office when rutherford b. hayes was there, when it got to 1880 a number of people want to grant to run again for a third term at that tim

i'm your with my partner today, brendan greeley.t's time to bring you up-to-date on the top stories of the morning. closing arguments are set for today in the boston marathon bombing trial. attorneys for dzhokhar tsarnaev have already admitted he's been involved in the attack that killed four people. they argued that he was the pond of his older brother who died in a shootout with police. the jury is expected to find him guilty and insurers have to decide whether he will get the death penalty. a devastating assessment of "rolling stone's" controversial story of a gang rape at the university of virginia. an outside review calls it a journalistic failure. the columbia journalism school says they failed to follow basic journalistic practices. the magazine says no one involved with the piece will be fired. and amazon is now attracting more merchants who used to be loyal to ebay. former ebay sellers say they are moving because they get more of their money by selling on amazon. amazon's pool of merchants doubled to about 2 million last ye

it was something known as the liberal republican party nominating horace greeley. this is one focused on the question of reconstruction and the situation of southern whites. the extent to which grant failed to achieve real change reflected the determination of southern whites to regain political control. not even lincoln could have one acceptance -- could have won acceptance of political equality between blacks and whites at that moment and there is some evidence today that that lingers to some degree. the whites in the south were determined this was going to be a white man's government and it was very difficult to counteract that. another problem grant confronted was almost endless assault by his enemies. nonstop. noted above i talk about sumner and adams. these were men determined to bring grant down from the very beginning even before he took office. he was undercard -- constant -- he was under constant barrage of criticism. some of these were disappointed office seekers. disappointed they did not get them. but those enemies would reach for just about any kind o

brendan greeley is here with me, as well. i know you spent some time in germany. betty dictatorship! [laughter] peter: wait a minute. -- betty: wait a minute. brendan: you're lucky i did not have real glitter. this was not the protests that happened last month. this was a group of feminist activists. they have done it to president vladimir putin. these are the kind of press -- protests that they do. they are adopting the ecb dictatorship language, but they are not connected to that same group. that said, it is interesting to get this perspective from over there. we're used to seeing mario draghi as a softy in europe. he is the one provider of any type of monetary or fiscal stimulus in the eurozone. what is fascinating is that there are groups of people on the european left to feel like he has not gone nearly far enough. i am going to talk to the finance minister of germany today. betty: are you going to ask them about this? brendan: not about the glitter bombing, but erik schatzker suggested a good question. what is potentially more dangerous -- is that the europe

brendan greeley is joining me. tom keene is actually off today. brendan: greece is all paid up, at least for now. they repaid about half $1 billion to the imf today. greece is trying to persuade europe to unlock billions more in aid. >> i think they are mistreating the greeks and also are mistreating themselves. the eurozone, as a ruler, is not doing well. brendan: in february, the greek prime minister reached a deal with europe to hand over money but that was based on tsipras making changes to the economy. oil is trading near a one-week low. the market was rocked by government reports that crude stockpiles got larger. inventories grew three times as much as expected. the glut is getting bigger. the jury found dzhokhar tsarnaev guilty of the boston marathon bombing and they will decide whether he will face the death penalty. massachusetts governor knows where he stands on the death penalty for dzhokhar tsarnaev, but says it is not up to him. >> i would support the death penalty. i continue to. obviously, this is a decision made by the jury. brenda

when brendan greeley joins us from washington, d.c., what are you doing in washington, recovering from the party? brendan: it is not what you think, tom. i'm actually the least important journalist in america. when everybody was flying out of washington, d.c., yesterday, i was actually flying in. in fact, i met some of our staff leaving the event as i got to the ronald reagan airport. but i am here in town today. i have a conversation today with secretary of the treasury, jack lew, and secretary of transportation, anthony fox, to talk about infrastructure, and that is the subject of today's single best chart. the highway trust fund is running out of money. outlay have exceeded revenues by more than $52 billion. they are projected to exceed even further over the 2015-2024 period. so, tom, there's a lot of red there. i'm going ask you a pop quiz. what was the best thing that happened to you in 1993? tom: 1993, i -- i -- i -- i met someone. i remember that year. i met someone, actually. brendan: i met someone too. it was the year i starte

his bail was purchased by welding northerners, horace greeley. once you release jefferson davis from jail in the spring of 1867, there is nowhere else to go. alexander stephens, the vice president, was also arrested and imprisoned for a short time in charlestown, massachusetts. he was released by the end of the summer of 1865. we will never know. most civil war's have ended in a much bloodier way. if a side loses as profoundly as the confederacy did, they're usually have been retributions and even executions. that we did not do that sets up to a certain extent some elements of the lost cause tradition. these leaders live to write about it. host: we are seeing the muskets and rifles stacked, and the confederate flag, the banners are being unfurled. the use of the confederate flag on a license plate -- why can't the country get a handle on the meaning of the confederate flag? david: the confederate flag is the second most ubiquitous symbol of its kind in america, the first being the united states flag. the confederate flag can be found all over the

those guys turn on grant and horace greeley's nomination in 72 by the liberal republicans is important. liberal because they think government should be kept small. because it is a newspaper war. sumner and pulitzer take over the newspapers and says that grant is corrupt. that is why we need to take back the government. the newspapers are trying to destroy grant and they call them corrupt. studies say every government has its issues. >> let's take a couple more questions. the couple here. bob: in many ways eisenhower sounds more like a democrat and i am wondering to what extent he chose to become a republican. out of expediency or could he have run as a democrat? and the democrat reactions. >> the gentleman over there. and in the gentleman over there. dr. cox-richardson: his is a contest? >> i also have something to ask about eisenhower so maybe i can add. i agree with you that eisenhower is very admirable and much smarter than he let on to be in a lot of historians say he pretended to be bumbling but was kind of a ruse. did he think of himself as progressive? did you see himself in the

greeley in alaska. >> as far as can you tell -- >> that i'm going to have to get back to you, we assess it they can go -- we assess it that it's operational today, we assess that it's operational today. and so we practice to go against that. yes, ma'am? >> i have a question about pow, we know defense secretary in japan, according to japanese media, a new medical history museum is going to show the evidence of u.s. pow during world war ii, about eight victims that were captured by japanese soldiers when they are -- b-29 bomber attacked during world war ii, so any comments on that? >> i'm not familiar with that story ma'am, i'm sorry. >> i mean, the defense secretary is in japan, except their talking about defense issues, are they going to talk about any history issues? >> any of those issues, i'm not briefed on what he's going to be talking about. >> sir? >> a couple months ago, the commander first air force said he urgently needs new radars. i was wondering, where do things stand with this, and why are these radars needed right now for the f-16s when the air force had put off those upgr
