maria: good one. largest consumer products company in the world dawn, tide, cascade, joy, mr. clean, they have filed a trademark protection for four different acronyms. one of them is lol, laugh out loud as you just heard and the other is nbd for no big deal. and they want to slap these on their soaps, if approved. so no better detergent, what do you guys think for lol. >> i went for laundry overload. maria: that's good. lauren: their sales are down. they're struggling. they say they have to change with the times, which means have you to attract millennials, young people. i don't know if this will attract millennials. you can personalize with the consumer. they don't feel they're using their grandmother's detergent. >> i go to the supermarket a lot. i don't see a lot of millennials in the laundry detergent aisle. dagen: they buy their laundry detergent over amazon, order it by alexa. i'm questioning their ability to trademark something that is part of our vernacular now. won't that be a high hurdle fo

maria: okay. so the sec needs to better understand what he was referring to when he said $420 and funding secured. where would that money come from? >> well it could come from either a co consortium of banksn investor. the company did receive a big cash infusion from saudi arabia the day that earnings were announced this past week. maria: joining me right now to react on that and a lot of other things, rodgers capital ceo, founder of cypress semi conductor, t.j. rodgers. cypress produced the chips that ran the control panel for the original model s tesla. your thaights on what took place in terms of tesla this past week. >> well, i think tesla is not a mature enough company yet to be a public company. the prior guest, th indicated t. and i think going private might be good for them so they can get their company more mature before they're dealing with the public. maria: i mean taking a company private at $420 a share, where it is now, you're talking about $70 billion. we'll see if he has the fundin

thanks maria.ia: congressman john ratcliffe up next judicial watch ratcliffe up next judicial watch president tom fitton all money managers might seem the same, ratcliffe up next judicial watch president tom fitton but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell. fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. and the wolf huffed and puffed... like you do sometimes, grandpa? well, when you have copd, it can be hard to breathe. so my doctor said... symbicort can help you breathe better. starting within 5 minutes. it doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. doctor: symbicort helps provide significant i

maria: okay.etter understand what he was referring to when he said 420 dollars and funding secured. where would that money come from? >> well, it could come from either a consortium of banks it could come from foreign sovereign investor, i mean -- the company did receive the big cash infusion from saudi arabia the day that earnings were announced this past week. so it is possible that that kind of money might exist. it is a large amount and it would take a great deal of effort to put it together. but it is not impossible. >> having said that, it is un-- it is unwise to be tweeting about this in middle of the day, creating activity in the stock, do you think the sec is looking at that given the sfak that on the saudi arabia investment news stock gets rallied right before this announcement was up 7% going into tweet up 11% after the tweet. >> it is definitely the wrong way to do this kind of thing. it may not be per se illegal, but it is definitely highly problematic and it could be illegal dependin

maria, back to you. maria: the markets are continuing to aftergait the threat of a trade dispute with china. i spoke with commerce secretary wilbur ross on my morning program thursday. i asked about the administration strategy. >> the reason for the tariffs to begin with was to try to convince the chinese to modify their behavior. instead they have been retaliating. so the president feels it's potentially time to put more pressure on to modify their behavior. we have to create a situation where it's more painful for them to continue their bad practices than it is to reform them. maria: reaction from muddy water's carson block. what do you think about the president's strategy against china? we know what china has been doing. their economic aggression has threatened the technologies of the united states. intellectual property has been stolen for decades. and the chinese forced this transfer of technology. is the administration right to push back? >> absolutely. i have to hand it to the trump administration

maria: you do?floss reason why for -- there's no reason why for several years we shouldn't have 4% plus growth. this economy, over 200 years has grown more than 3% a year on average. that's depressions and everything else. so we're due for a period of growth. the fact that the economy is picking up speed, the federal reserve is worried that we may be getting too prosperous. i think larry kudlow, the head of the president's chief economic advisor, is going to be hitting on this, prosperity does not cause inflation. that's a coming battle in later this year and early next year, the fed trying to suppress economic activity. dagen: i was going to point out. i'm not looking at instagram while i have my phone up. the latest forecast from the atlanta fed on growth in the current quarter is 4.3%. so that would be back to back quarters potentially of north of 4% growth. maria: that's for the third quarter they've got that? dagen: yes, the next update is friday, august 24th. but again, people are feeling this
