mike ashley has hit back, this is the financial times story.ference with donald trump is that donald trump had a pop at jeremy corbyn unprovoked, whereas mike ashley has been responding to jeremy corbyn's launch. he is the only one of the various business leaders who has bothered to respond at all. the rest have not bothered to comment. frankly, why would they? what he has said about them appears to bea what he has said about them appears to be a scattergun approach against wealth. if you look at the people he has attacked, on the one hand you have mike ashley, self educated at sports direct, on the other hand you have the duke of westminster, a title created in 1874, a property owner in london, certainly not a self—made man. what these two people have in common is wealth, and probably nothing else. sojeremy corbyn doesn't appear to be attacking crony capitalism or the non—payment of taxes or any of the things that you might be able to get some individuals for. he appears to have gone forjust some individuals for. he appears to have gone for ju

what about mike ashley? would you be comfortable if he left the country?some of the practices in the sports direct factory, but if he is willing to rectify those things, we want him to abide by the law, and that would be fine. we are not running the country based on whether very wealthy people say it is ok with them, they get the same size as everyone else, and i think that is entirely reasonable. quick final thought, ian austin, you may have heard him telling people to vote for boris johnson, what may have heard him telling people to vote for borisjohnson, what do you think of a man who has been in the labour party for three and a half decades saying that? of course, i am sad to hear that, of course i am sad... you still respect him? i don't agree with him, and for me, asking someone to vote for the conservative party would be really accepting the hardship, pain and misery that many of my constituents have faced for nine years, and i don't agree with that, but everyone is entitled to their say. i saw some conservative ministers last night say they are not

. >> check, can you jump in on both mike and ashley's reporting that this is a witness that while he confirms the fact pattern, and i don't think any of us are aware of any testimony that suggests anything attorney conditioning military aid and a meeting with donald trump, take us through how a witness's credibility might be impacted by amending their testimony and just the power of the fact patterns that has emerged today. >> right. it's not a good thing, nicolle. there's version one, version two. who knows with mr. sondland whether there's a version three, four and five. bank robbers, drug dealers, tell you about the transactions they think you know about and they tend to omit the ones that they don't think you know about. and that undermines their credibility, when they get on the stand. the thing we ask witnesses to do, and it's a really, really hard thing for some of them to do it, is to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and those are three different things. the truth and the whole truth are not the same thing. >> that's interesting. >> and what you might

like little mike. ashley: but he answered every question.f reporters and any subject that's asked. deirdre: he doesn't back away from difficult questions. stuart: and he chooses who to speak to, which reporter's questions. he chooses which question to answer. he's in control. ashley: complete control. stuart: the old white house press conferences were awful. now he's in control. andy puzder, thanks for joining us. john tapper, great stuff. appreciate you being here. thank you very much indeed. >>> i want to give you the latest on the markets, because it's 11:00 eastern time. right now, we've got the dow industrials down 48 points. we are almost at exactly the same position on the market now as we were when the president started to speak about a half hour ago. so the president's speech, statements, have had no real impact on the market. but when we first got the headlines, we heard there was some negatives on china trade. ashley: slightly negative headline produced a slightly negative move on the dow jones. stuart: to repeat, he said, the pre

mike murphy's here, susan li is here, ashley webster back again. y disney at $148 right now? >> i would. stuart: you would? >> yes. stuart: why? >> we own some disney stock. because i think you have so many different ways to make money. so many different levers this company can pull to generate money for shareholders. the theme parks we know, the movies we know, but now the disney plus, stuart, all the downloads out there, and you can say they are losing money for the first few years which is true, but it's a land grab. people will be paying disney for the foreseeable future for the right to view their movies. susan: they already control over forth % 40% of the box office. not to mention "skywalker" will come out next month. i think it will be a record year for disney and obviously disney plus also getting eyeballs as well. seems a lot of things are going right entertainment-wise for this company. stuart: "frozen 2" will bring in a billion dollars. ashley: bigger opening than the original. stuart: isn't that something. maybe i will see it. take the

maria: target is out and beat on earnings line, mike, great to see you, mike ryan with ubs. ashleyty impressive, maria, eps coming on adjusted basis of 1.36, easily beating 1.19 on the estimate, revenue 18.7 billion, the estimate 18.49, so nice beat on the top and bottom line, just going through some of the headlines here, they are raising their four-year guidance, also we can see comp sales 4 and a half percent, gross margin coming at 30%, comp traffic also up more than 3%, overall this is a strong report, as you can see in premarket, the stock up more than 7%, of course, critical for target as being the digital platforms, i'm waiting to see what kind of comp -- comparable digital sales grew 31%, they grew 34% in the second quarter, so not quite the same strength as we saw in the last report but still pretty impressive, you know, ceo brian cornell said that he aims to make target america's easiest to shop store and big part of that as we know is the digital, the drive-up service, same-day delivery and, again, those digital comps up 31%, pretty strong report, indeed, maria. maria:

mike murphy, susan li, ashley webster. more record highs right out of the gate.t because of trade or is there something else going on here? >> trade and earnings and the fed. so you have signs that a trade deal is going to get done. you have the fed being accommodative and you have earnings, everyone talks about how coming into this earnings season, they wouldn't be very good. earnings have supported a higher market. stuart: is this a goldilocks economy? susan: again, you know, expectations were low so 75% of companies have been able to beat, including a company like uber at this point. i would agree, there is trade news being priced in since china is looking for a rollback of tariffs and no imposition of the december 15th tariffs on $160 billion worth of chinese-made goods. stuart: so we are going up from the get-go. i don't know if we will hold these gains. who knows where we will close today. i was expecting a more robust opening. we are still on record highs but i'm a little disappointed there. >> oh, come on. come on. stuart: i want to see microsoft hit $175

mike minor, the plumber, 13 years younger than danielle, told them the two had met on ashley madison,ebsite for husbands and wives looking to cheat. the website's slogan? life is short, have an affair. >> this was someone looking to have an affair. >> they both were. >> yeah. >> but michael insisted this was no casual fling. after all, the affair had lasted four years. what's more, he told detectives he had fallen in love with danielle into it was like i really found my soul mate. man, it was so thunder bolt. i really had every intention of marrying this girl. >> he was smitten. i mean, he was totally obsessed with her and in love with her. >> he went on to say that on the day of the shooting, he decided it was finally time to talk to sam, man-to-man. he wanted to come clean about his love for danielle. >> he wants to the confront sam basically tell him that he's the other man. >> i concocted this scheme to go up there and tell him you know, yeah, i'm seeing your wife. >> that day, michael said he tracked sam down and found him in the parking lot of diane's apartment complex. he also

ashley: that is the answer. political strategist veronica clearly. thanks for being here. is it too late for mike or not? >> obviously he doesn't seem to think so. he sees what is very apparent which is the fact there isn't a obvious leader in the democratic race with over a dozen candidates but i would argue the feat he is attempting to overcome is one that is going to be impossible. he is also doing this under the guise of using money, right? that is not something that resonates with the american people today. certainly not the democratic electorate. ashley: certainly not elizabeth warren and bernie sanders who spent time bashing millionaires and billionaires. if you were his political strategist what would you tell him to do? he may be popular on the east and west coast. but there is large percentage of people in middle of america may not warm to him. >> his favorability is 2%. 60 or 70% of democratic voters are familiar with him. he can't blame it on the fact you don't me know. i have to meet you. he missed deadlines for iowa, new hampshire primaries. if way looking for work i would tell him

governor mike huckabee, who is on the show a lot is very upset. tweeting this is a very sad day. stuart: it is. ashleywith that. it is a sad day when salvation army doesn't get money from chik-fil-a because of traditional marriage versus gay marriage. i am shocked. >> i will go from the business angle. you have morals in business and ethics. you feel as though you want to get to widest audience and as possible keeping your values. same-sex marriage, those particular organizations according to reports i haven't read it, they are against same-sex marriage. they will not give money to it. if you're chik-fil-a, feel backlash, maybe homosexual relationships on the board, maybe same-sex relationships on board of chik-fil-a, i'm not sure. you want to make that decision, you have to decide if you want to go there, the same way when they are closed on sundays, they have other standards two days ago, you will make that decision again. so it's a business decision but again, in 2018 same-sex marriage viewed a lot differently in 2019. maybe perhaps they're changing with the times. you know somebody i think that mi
