know i can't. jeffreyy one in 6 americans right now, which is roughly 50 million out of our 310 million population, eat with the help of food stamps in america. it's stunning, uh, how americans now are so squeezed, so vulnerable. lillian: i don't have fruit in the house. [distant sirens] narrator: over the last 4 years, 30 major corporations paid no taxes, even though their combined u.s. profit was over $200 billion. an overwhelming majority of americans believe that corporations and the wealthy should pay at least the same tax rate as the middle class. nicole: it would be incredible for there to be tax [indistinct] like unified front against these corporations. russell: it's not a redistribution of wealth. it's just a funny way of framing it. these guys are really geniuses at--at--of disempowering the poor, making people feel--and the middle class, and all of america feel that they've been selling their case so well. jeffrey: we have to revisit why we have that budge deficit, because the wealth has gone t

i think, really moved to concern. susan: her personal popularity didn't translate into enough votes for george bush. why not? jeffreyit didn't, largely because both perot and clinton had a singular line of attack against president bush, and that was he was more focused on foreign affairs and invest it. i got to tell you for the most part the president was concerned about foreign affairs. with good reason. there was a lot going on at the time. there was the berlin wall, tiananmen square. soviet union, gulf war. all kinds of things that would attract a president's attention. even writes in his diary at this time i really do like foreign , affairs better than domestic. with the economy beginning to slip, the public perceive this -- clinton said we are going to focus on the economy. ross perot said we are going to focus on the budget. both of these essentially opened up a vulnerable flank for the president's reelection, and i think ultimately it did him in. susan: we have talked about this in every program. how do they use the white house to entertain, to achieve their goals? myra: i think they used it very effectively.

and i would like to hear your comments. jeffrey: i love the fact that you bring up jackson, and he did famously say in the cherokee indians case, he said, john marshall has made his decision now let him enforce it, hamilton's adage that the supreme court has neither person no sword. the fact that he resisted the appointment at all seems to call that into question. i agree with tomiko that despite revisionism, on the whole he was , on the wrong side. if any viewers have a site for that, please tweak it -- please tweet it in. susan: we have 10 minutes to talk about the 60 years of legacy, which is impossible to do. we want to start with its legal legacy. we have four citations of brown, in 1964, reynolds versus sims, loving versus virginia, san antonio school district versus rodriguez in 1973, and planned parenthood versus casey in 1992. if you look at its legal legacy, what has it left the country? tomiko: the most important legal legacy of brown, i think goes back to the point that it established the idea that the supreme court can

i think it was a smart move when it comes to issues like that. >> jeffrey, you agree? ely i do. you know, to be serious here for a second, these people are professional race card players. the critics on this sort of thing. i think it was the right way to deal with them. >> jeffrey lord, ben ferguson, thank you. >> thanks a lot. >>> meanwhile, we should see ben carson is making a campaign stop in puerto rico. he's been pushing back against the media questions concerning his past. at the press conference friday night dr. carson made an interesting prediction, as well. cnn was there. we're wondering with the campaign now wondering we're going to expect from the doctor, but talk to us about the prediction he made. >> good morning, christi. he is predicting this intense period of media scrutiny, all these questions over his past is really going to help, he thinks, galvani vavanize his supporters. here's what he told us. >> i don't think it's causing a complication, and here's my prediction. my prediction is that all of you guys trying to pile on is actually going to help me.

jeffrey, hang on, jeffrey, hang on. ierstand you were trying to infer or interpolate what trump was saying but at what point does he need to get the facts right? are facts going to matter if they don't matter now in the primary, will they matter in the general election? >> if facts matter, hillary clinton wouldn't be a candidate for president. she flat out lied what happened in benghazi. >> don't change the top pick -- >> that is not an exaggeration, that say lie. if we hold donald trump to a standard for exaggeration, heavens, a sitting secretary of state, what is she doing now running for president. >> so your answer, jeffrey, is the truth shouldn't matter in the primaries or general. >> i'm saying the truth should always matter but we need to understand what's going on and we need to understand how the media presents these issues and wants to focus on some things and not others. that's what we need to understand. >> jeffrey lord, i have a sense this discussion will continue. thank you-all. >> you bet. >> sure. >> appre

i don't believe it's authenticity stuff at all. >> jeffrey, now your turn. >> anderson, van, i have to tell you, i haven't seen anybody whine more about fox news than president obama. if ever there was somebody who spent his entire presidency, i mean, particularly when he began he was going after fox personali personalities. this is what he does, goes after sean hannity and goes on and on and on about this. there was a meeting with him and roger rails to see if he could get fox news off his back. he is incredibly whiny about this. i must say, i find this rather amusing because he's describing himself with fox news. >> van, final thought and then we have to go. >> well, listen, any time a news agency names itself after a furry predatory mammal that you can't trust to guard the hen house or anything like that, i think the name speaks for itself. >> it was william fox a century ago. >> a furry mammal they were going for. van jones, jeffrey lorde, as well. donald trump will be on cnn tomorrow morning, don't miss "new day" starting at 7:00 a.m. eastern. >>> right now, some election results

i don't believe it at all. >> jeffrey, now your turn. >> i haven't seen anyone whine more about fox news than president obama. if ever someone spent his presidency, particularly when he began he was going after fox personalities. he goes on and on about this there was a meeting with he and roger ailes to get fox news off his back. he is whiney about this. i find this amusing because he is describing himself with fox news. >> van, final thought and we have to go. >> any time a news agency names itself after a furry predatory mammal, i think the name speaks for itself. >> it was william fox a century ago. >> van jones and jeffrey lord thank you. >> donald trump will be on cnn tomorrow morning on "new day" starting at 7:00 a.m. eastern. >>> the governor's mansion changing hands in kentucky. cnn projecting that matt bevin will win that race. outgoing governor that took federal money to expand medicaid coverage and matt bevin promises to reverse that. >>> a dying child's wish and her parent's decision to honor it. is a 5-year-old old enough to choose heaven over the hospital? can she truly un

jeffrey: yeah, actually, i don't think it was much of a decision at all. think it was a fait accompli that he was going to run for the white house. as early as the time that he's in china, he's actually telling visitors that he intends to run for the white house. and so he goes back after leaving the cia, after -- he actually wanted to stay on at the cia, after president carter took over, but carter put his own man in. george bush goes back, does a few years of business, but really is laying the groundwork for his ultimate campaign, and actually does surprisingly well against ronald reagan. ronald reagan, of course, had nearly won the republican nomination in '76 and was expected to win the nomination in '80. but george bush hits the ground running and takes iowa and really surprised a lot of people and makes it seem as though this is going to be a competitive race. unfortunately for him, at that point, the reagan steamroll begins and he winds up winning the nomination handily. and george bush goes to the republican convention really thinking that was it.

me i shouldn't be there because of my views and she was yelling and cursing at me on national television and she's one of many. she's entitled to her opinion. >> what is your relationship with jeffrey? >> i can see that he knows who we are because we have gone through numerous meetings and in this instance he wants the boot of the government on the industry of energy so they can sell their renewable energy. so really they are hiding behind that big government where it's a profitable publicly traded company might. that is our tax dollars being used to influence the bottom line. >> corporate cronyism. spin it any time the government is involved in the big business i think that is a red flags for americans to recognize that happens. >> who is tom? >> he is my other half and we are well known in different shareholder meetings and we have been to numerous meetings in the make the news and again it's another way for people to be empowered and ask the questions why are you making these positions or choices that are not in the best interest of shareholders it's a simple question but they don't like to be put on the spotlight especially as one of the boards and shareholders. >> where did yo

this is dennis in palestine, texas. >> i just want to say jeffrey rosen is correct that richard work. has done fantastic i wanted to ask about a justice by the name of william rehnquist who, at his confirmation in 1971, the issue came up that he in thetten a dissent brown case when it came before said,r and court and he he wanted -- he did not really feel that way. i just wondered if either of your guests have checked to see the professor be of justin rehnquist's comments. it very well at it was an important controversy. then memo was quite vivid. is that the fact southerners don't like black people and will never admit them and the truth is, i believe that pressey versus ferguson -- plessy versus ferguson was good lot. had asked him to express his own thoughts because jackson was undecided. 's secretaryson disputed rehnquist's accountant said that he had never asked for competing opinions to be written in his voice and according to her, rehnquist was expressing his own views. that is the most direct evidence. >> maurice is in memphis. >> good evening. the 14th amendment does not appl

i would take it with a grain of salt. it's great for christie but is it going to make him somehow surge in the polls? probably not. >> jeffreycome to you. you're a trump guy on the record. could governor christie be the establishment candidate? the nontrump that voters can coalesce around? >> sure. possible. i mean it is entirely possible that one person is going emerge as the establishment candidate. i think in the beginning everybody thought it was going to be jeb bush. now there seems to be some thought it's marco rubio. now it's maybe chris christie. whoever it is, i'm not sure that being known as such is an asset. the establishment, particularly the republican party is a mighty popular thing to be around at this point. i'm not sure it would help him, if, in fact, that's the case. >> let's talk about trump. he had the rally in sarasota. we know he was facing the controversy of not just the "new york times" reporter but the beating of and punching of a protester in birmingham. we're going to play what he said. when a protester was removed yesterday in sarasota. watch this. >> do you see how diplomatic i've become? right.

i approve this message. metinka: good morning, 20 starting with 39 in des moines. tomorrow, it's a whole different story. we are 36 hours out from a potential severe weather event and extremely high wind. jeffrey daugherty: i didn't want to hurt anybody, this wasn't my intent. elizabeth: teacher jeffrey daugherty sobbing in a council bluffs courtroom. a judge sentenced him to 10 years in prison for sex acts with two students at thomas jefferson high school. the father of five pled guilty, and pleaded with the judge for leniency. but the mothers of both victims also spoke and said the judge made the right choice. >> i think that the courts did right by putting him in prison and making him think. i understand that he has a family that he has to take care of, but he should've thought about that before he decided to do what he did. elizabeth: jeffrey daugherty will be eligible for parole in 7 and a half years. shaina: also in western iowa, a repo man got more than he bargained for when he picked up a car in mcclellan on monday. an 8-year-old boy was in the backseat. turns out his mom had brought him to work with her, but he was asleep so she left him in the car. the dealership repossessed it while

i agree with you. >> nope, mike, i'm going with your b. wrong. jeffrey. >> i'll go with c. >> precisely define your ideal client. you win. >> yes! >> i love playing him. >> number two, according to seattle good business network, how much more money do small businesses donate to charities and nonprofits than larger enterprises? 10%, 240%, 50%, 35%? >> i'm going with c again. >> c? 50%? >> yes. >> no. mike. >> i would say d, 35%. >> nope. it's 240%. >> that's what i said. >> wow. nice try. wire not good at math, but we're great at marketing. >> let's go to the next one. according to the small business saturday consumer insight survey, how much money was spent at small businesses on small business saturday last year? jeff. >> i'm going to go with d, $32 billion. >> no. mike. >> 14 bill. we all know it. >> we all know it, come on, jeffrey. mike, you have found it. >> boom! he's back. >> this is for the win. according to a survey conducted by small business marketing software company yodel, that's a hint, what is the number one thing local customers want from

policy chops, economic chops and i think if carson doesn't have a solid performance on that, he could trip up because he's not necessarily known for policy specifics. >> jeffrey, i have no doubt moderators, fox is doing this. they are smart. i think they are going to go like a laser on economic issues just as cnbc was supposed to and got hammered for, you know, for some of the quality of their questions. i think they want to stand in sharp contrast to cnbc and i think it's going to be interesting because i do think you're going to get a lot of specifics. >> yes, i think that's exactly what i was thinking here right before you said that, anderson. this is the place where fox at this point, they just want to keep their moderators' heads down and provide the debate everyone said was not provided by cnbc. that will work to the advantage or disadvantage or whomevr on the stage has actual proposals and fluent enough to discuss them. i'm not sure the personal attacks will be there because i'm not sure they will be provided necessarily. >> david, down think it works to donald trump's advantage. if you're looking for people with specifics on economic issues, his criti

. >> jeffrey, i mean for the criticism of donald trump or that trump levees at hillary clinton, he isolling, i mean, he has also to amanda's point, high negatives and is in someways just as controversial and polarizing. >> yeah, well, you know, it always pains me to find myself in agreement with my friend paul, however, he's absolutely correct it's way too soon here to be focussing on these polls in terms of the general election. i decided before 1979 poll that showed jimmy carter, in the new york times by the carter white house that shows jimmy carter beating ronald reagan something like 60 to 36% with pat the pollster for president carter saying the data was just overwhelmingly in favor of carter and they wouldn't wait to run against regan. so here we are, almost in december of the year before, you know, next november it is just way too soon to get into this and by the time let's just say it is donald trump versus hillary clinton, then people are going to start to focus. they have negatives but with one choice to make, people are going to have to vote from one of them in a situation

i think folks like jeffrey stone, the acting university of chicago law school, i think our country cant to the right place. we can do both. we have to step into this. i think we have so slanted this discussion through civil liberties and privacy. now we are jumping back to securities. let's get this set in the middle where it belongs. protect our people. go onto these other two points. trish: well put. i do want to update our viewers on the hostage situation. a ran downtown there on the border with belgium. it does have a terrorist past. there is something called the gay which targeted major event and has links to al qaeda in the 1990s. ashley webster joins me right now from paris. i do not know how familiar you are with this region. again, this coming in, this is an area that has targeted major even. back in the 1990s. we do not know, it has not yet been confirmed, i pointed out to everyone, given that you then set out unfolded since last friday, it is hard for one's mind not to go there. everyone's minds have been on such high alert. >> that is exactly right. we know that shots have

i think that mr. trump needs to listen to some folks who have done it before and understand the challenges and the difficulties associated with campaign planning and national security. >> okay. jeffrey lord, i have to go through you because there is so much material. >> and yes. having fun, ashleigh? >> yes, sure. i'm an american by choice, and i worked hard to ban immigrant here, and i am extraordinarily proud of my vote, and i'm not happy about what i am seeing with the process. i don't like to have somebody compared to a child molester, and someone of ben carson's ilk, and it is frustrating to have the people called stupid from iowa if they agree with ben carson. and there are lots and lots of voters here who might turn a page and say it is not appropriate. >> and ashleigh, having been around this kind of thing for a long time, and read my share of history, when jfk was calling hubert f. humphrey a draft do e dodger, and then governor clinton was an exceptionally good liar and ronald reagan was in charge of voodoo economics, and in the campaign of bill clinton, he said that he had been played the race card on him. this is standard operating procedure, and frankly, i'm not shocked

. >> you know, jeffrey, i am from chicago and the police were notorious for not treating african-americans fairly. the city paid over $500 million in the last ten years to settle police brutality cases. hopefully this is the moment that, regardless of what happens in the criminal prosecution, the city will use this as an opportunity to assess. clearly, the victim in this case was having some kind of mental health crisis, so the police need to be better trained on how to address those situations. this also clearly makes the case for dash cams and body cams for police officers. >> brown: you heard probably in our setup piece my talk with reverend jedidiah brown talking about tissues of what he hoped might come out of it even if no one quite knows what happens next. in the press conference, we also heard the mayor, rahm emanuel, calling for a testing moment for all chicago. >> the reason these issues are getting a lot of attention is because of extraordinary activism that's come under the rubric of the black lives matter social movement. so they're strategic. and they insif there is a violent

and let me tell you something, i had my pope blessed rosary and thank you, lord, jeb bush showed up. >> jeffrey lord? i think the most striking thing was listening to john kasich saying philosophy doesn't work when you run something. that in a sense is exactly what this argument is within the republican party. this is what went on in the house of representatives. you had people saying we have to governor. which conservatives say we enlarge the government in one fashion or another. to hear kasich -- >> and ted cruz tried to draw parallel with him on that. whether you would support a government that would let banks fail. >> this is a key component of this argument. >> what struck me on a day when thousands of people walked off their job demanding a raise, that the republican candidates are tone deaf. $7.25 an hour. where can you live in america on $7.25 an hour. 17 million americans with health care and they want to repeal it and don't have a good program to release it? 11 million undocumented people in this country. again, donald trump going back to the eisenhower days. i had so ask everybody in

and let me tell you something, i had my pope blessed rosary and thank you, lord, jeb bush showed up. not feeling glum tonight. >> jeffrey lord? >> i think the most striking thing was listening to john kasich say philosophy doesn't work when you run something. that in a sense is exactly what this argument is within the republican party. this is what went on in the house of representatives. you had people saying we have to governor. which conservatives say we enlarge the government in one fashion or another. to hear kasich -- >> and ted cruz tried to draw parallel with him on that. whether you would support a government that would let banks fail. >> this is a key component of this argument. >> what struck me on a day when thousands of people walked off their job demanding a raise, that the republican candidates are tone deaf. $7.25 an hour. where can you live in america on $7.25 an hour. 17 million americans with health care and they want to repeal it and don't have a good program to release it? 11 million undocumented people in this country. again, donald trump going back to the eisenhower days. i had so ask everybody in

. >> so i assume jeffrey a lot of people in chicago will be upset this guy is out of jail after he wasee further and take that and is the person a risk of flight and his lawyer he believes is going to have an ankle monitor and not going to go anywhere and he's understandable ruling that it is also true that first degree murder defendants almost never get out on bail. so yes, this is rational and yes, people are going to be upset. >> pretty extraordinary, isn't it, he's out on bail. >> they don't do it and someone come up with the money and he's able to do it. so i think that as sunny mentioned, and severity of the crime and come up with it. >> we'll see what happens. thanks. >>> just ahead more news, donald trump meets with black pastors, religious leaders and did he see the endorsements as the campaign was looking for? >>> also, more on the breaking news an american embassy warning of an imminent terror attack after receiving a threat deemed significant active and credible. jusdoes that mean they have toer grow apart from their friends, or from the things they love to do? with right a

jeffrey: i think we will see a lot of health care m&a. the $10 million plus ,eal -- $10 billion plus deal that will be a $150 billion deal. ones, we are getting to a point where even the regulators feel like they are exhausted by what has been going on. scarlet: jeffrey mccracken, thank you so much. alix: we will take a technical look at the markets in the next hour. ♪ >> it is 1:00 p.m. in new york. >> welcome to bloomberg markets. ♪ >> from bloomberg headquarters in new york, good afternoon. here is what we're watching at this hour. we will talk to an analyst who thinks it is time for a pullback. scarlet: did anyone succeed? alix: the world posse's expensive dollhouse, worth $8 million. scarlet: let's head over to the markets desk were julie hyman have the latest. column.retty mellow. that is a good description. we see major averages fluctuating but in a narrow way. the nasdaq in particular is outperforming today. terminal here the and imap on it and the various sectors, industrials and tech are leading what gains we are seeing now. dis

thank god for the cnbc moderators who were so bad that at least i wasn't the worst performer in that debate. >> how long does he have, jeffreythings around for his campaign? >> well, i think given his name and given the amount of money he has he's certainly going to be in the campaign through iowa and new hampshire. the problem is he's in sixth and seventh place. and, you know, the slogan doesn't matter. but he is not going to change who he is. if republican party voters want an outsider, he's going to lose period. it doesn't matter what his slogan is. but if trump and carson start to fade, he's got to be in a position to pick them up. at the moment they haven't been fading and they haven't been fading for months. >> and you mention what place -- look at this new poll from new hampshire. among republicans it shows jeb bush in sixth place right now, not just behind carson and trump but rubio, also behind ted cruz and john kasich. both are ahead of him at least hampshire.rticular poll in new i can understand not necessarily doing well, jeffrey, in iowa. but new hampshire supposedly was the place he's really going to crush him.

jeh jeffrey, what did you make? >> i would agree. i don't think that bush is pepetrating in a way that chris christie is penetrating on these issues. i would just jump to ben carson for one minute say that he said something very densible which, is that the solutions are refugee prprlem is in syryr it'ss not in united states or anywhere else. we need to be focused on the fact that more than half the population of syria not even in syria any more. can't solve this problem without a syrian solution. but on what david was saying, yes, there is some important ideas that are being put forward by jeb bush and chris christie. the thinghat i'm struck by thisis buffet line approach. i would take safe zone and no fly zone and i'm going to get the nato allies to do x the arab allies to do y. it's all highly theoretical. that everyone is talking about, incredibly difficult to pull off. we haven't thought about the second or third or conconcerns of these ideas. >> dickerson: quickly david about 30 seconds on this notion that mccain and graham are

. >> caller: i want to say jeffrey rosen is correct. richard kruger does fantastic work. this southern boy only heard one side of the argument for most of my childhood and even into college. i wanted to ask about a law clerk or justice jackson by the name of william rehnquist who hat his confirmation hearing in 1971, the issue came up that he had, in fact, written a dissent for justice jackson in the brown case when it came before the warren court and he said in '71 that they were just covering their bets, so to speak. he did not really feel that way. have you checked to see the veracity of justice rehnquist's comments at his confirmation some 20 years later. >> you summarize it very well. it was an important controversy. the memo was quite vivid where they said basically the fact is southerns don't like black people and are not going to admit them. i believe plessy versus ferguson was good law. chief justice rehnquist claimed he had been writing in jackson's voice. now all we know is that justice jackson's secretary disputed rehnquist's account and said jackson never aske

i want to ask jeffrey toobin. i work with foster kids, adoptive kids. i'm an advocate for them.ollar. i want to find out what the legality of all of this is. this lesbian couple was looking to adopt this baby girl, had the support of the birth mother, the biological mother, the first mother. did this judge overstep his bounds or was this up to his discretion. >> that's where this case is a little murky. we don't have a written opinion from the judge. we only have what the judge apparently said to people. but the judge's duty was to decide what was in the best interest of the child. he said, apparently, that he felt, according to studies he's read, that it's better for kids to be raised in a heterosexual household. now, according to every study i've seen and all the studies that came out in the course of the litigation over same-sex marriage, that is not true. >> right. we know that leading adoption advocacy groups have new research saying that there is no sexual -- there's no bearing on the child, the sexual orientation of the parents. >> correct. that's why i think if in fact t

what is going wrong for trump, jeffrey? >> i don't think that there is anything going wrong.mpaigns tend to be like the movies. an explosive opening and then a very long middle with lots of ups and downs and then the end is victory or defeat. polls go with up or down. paul regala lost the primaries and called himself the come back kid and i think he did pretty kel well. >> i believe you are referring to bill clinton. >> that is the same. >> well done. >> and he did pretty well losing the new hampshire primary. so these come and go and they go up and down and i expect there to be more of these coined of things before we actually get there. and by the way as the clinton experience indicated these things can go on for quite a long time. you can lose here or there and you can still emerge the winner. >> okay. >> this is the moment for you to say i know bill clinton he is a flend of mine. donald trump you are no bill clinton. why does it work for donald trump? to use as sal voe the same thing used on hamz salvo. which -- he's using it effectively against carson or not? >> right. j
