scarlet: that was kevin plank and michael lewis speaking with stephanie ruhle.bout investors, i was going through mental checklist of which sectors have not been touched by activist investors. it was hard to come up with one. staples, you have png under attack. microsoft caved to pressure to some extent. energy, materials companies, check. alix: if you look at freeport , you do last two days wind up seeing a pop in the stock. are completely bleeding cash as they are trying to get this off their balance sheets. people may not understand what a commodity business actually is and how the commodities super cycle actually works. you're looking for decades, not the next six to nine or even three or five years. however, i thought kevin plank was making a good point that there are some arguments to be made for why private is better. the stock for glencore has not been able to reach its level in 2011 since. it is something you might want to do because it has so much scrutiny and the debt has come under so much burden. scarlet: when you're in an industry where something h

they have been reluctant to core on nate house majority leader, kevin mccarthy to replace john boehner. aaron lewisabout it. can he get it done, talking about chaffetz? >> he wouldn't try unless there was something waiting at the end, an outright try to become the next majority leader. there are a lot of reasons to run rather than winning the big prize. there is going to be a lot of negotiating going on. we will see what kind of strength he has. it is a mistake to think it is all or nothing with regard to the speakership. if he makes a strong showing or bargains for a way to stop short of forcing a destructive fight, jason chaffetz could come out very well placed. >> part of the reason he has a shot at the speakership if not one of the other leadership positions is because of some comments made by now house majority leader, kevin mccarthy, as it relates to hillary clinton and benghazi, the committee. let's listen and we'll talk about his run for the speakership. >> everybody thought hillary clinton was unbeatable, right? we put together a benghazi special committee, a select committee. what are her
