mike ryan from ubs joins us now. mike, i'm looking at vix. it is spiking today.is 20. to give a little pushback, are investors scared? >> i don't want to overreact today. this is risk-off based on event, concerns about escalation and tensions in the korean peninsula and global growth and financial markets. we still look at this as a low probability event. we still think if you think about nuclear war to us, that is still unthinkable, conflict on the korean peninsula. we also recognize the acceptance of icbms that could hit the united states is also unacceptable. i think what we'll see something has to be worked between those. you have to pursue diplomatic solutions include implementation of sanctions against north korea. lauren: geopolitics changes everything i have get it. when you focus on the trump agenda, speaking ledge slate of of -- legislatively, charlie gas broke a story. they couldn't get health care done on the in the senate specifically. there might be a rift on tax reform and tax cuts. do you think that will hurt the market because that is what invest

david: thank you so much to mike ryan and gina.erican spent more freely in july. 10 of major retail categories showed gains. some earnings were cap home depot topped estimates. senior us is the consumer analyst. give us a take on what happening in retail sales western mark >> they were very positive. a lot of the strength came i think from non-store retail. july is ao remember, heavy sale clarence month. there were also going back to school sales. you can't just retail into what it means for retailers. you need to think about what margin impact may have hit and happen. how did you get the sales? so far, earnings have not been that great. home depot is very strong today. i was not surprising given the strength of what they are facing. david: we thought maybe home-improvement and auto repair my the insulated. -- might be insulated. department stores came back. >> they were less bad. consumer behavior changes. defensibleme categories that become less defensive. home-improvement is a large ticket. it's hard to analyze online. if you're

[closing bell rings] this is the worst day since the middle of may. snap, earnings on tap. catch me tomorrow morning at 5:00 a.m. melissa: dow ending down about 200 points. look at that! all three major averages biggest drop since mid-may. david: looks like panic selling. never a good idea, folks. melissa: don't lock it in. david: glad you could join us. this is "after the bell." more on the big market movers. here is what else we're covering in very busy. we'll hear from the president, president trump doubling down on harsh words for north korea saying his fire and fury talk may not have been tough enough. the president slamming senate majority leader mitch mcconnell once again. we'll play the personal challenge he made to mcconnell as we await more comments. they're coming this hour from the president as tensions continue to escalate with north korea, making new threats against the u.s. territory of guam. we'll be speaking with the governor of guam. that is coming up. a federal judg

job growth is continuing is the economy strong enough to sustain the market rally let's bring in mike ryanf investment strategist, cnbc's ron, and steve liesman is sticking around. a genius question -- is the economy strong enough to continue the market rally? >> i think it is in fact, what you are seeing, while this expansion has been a subpar one by historical standards, what you are starting to see is more of the drivers of the economy are synchronizing. so i actually think this expansion can continue and may pick up traction as we go through the course of this year. >> what's the greatest risk, ron? you've been carb, a bit nervous, but man we're addings 1,000-point gains to the dow like it's going out of style >> you know, that notwithstanding, earnings are up 11% in the first two quarters. nasdaq is up 18%, technology earnings up 14%, so earnings are clearly the driver i think all the same risks exist, and i've been wrong now for several months, create something more than a 2% correction that we have seen peak to trough but you have earnings growth, global growth accelerating, the fed

here with us is mike ryan, and david leibovitz.ood to have you here, earnings season almost over, so that catalyst or derailment is behind us turned out to be a catalyst. >>> and jackson hole on friday, with the fed still cheap money even though they're talking about raising interest rates what are the chances there's some kind of market-moving event as a result the jackson hole >> i think that expectations are pretty well set. you make a good point. we are entering the black hole of august, low trading volume, low liquidity, so we need to be on our toes, bur our expectation is the balance sheet reduction will formally begin following the september meeting. i think what will be particularly interesting, is the comments around inflation, financial stability and the possibility of a third rate hike form the fed is clearly concerned about assets bubbles we're seeing much more asset inflation, so i think weighing her comments and getting a sense of how much inflation will give a good glimpse into what to expect for september. >> i thin

>> which is why i've allocated 20% of my domestic holdings to stocks within the russell 2000 >> mike ryanstment strategist at ubs mike, what do you think of that? >> tell us we're right >> i tend to agree i wouldn't even just focus necessarily on multiple expansion. i think there's an earnings opportunity here, too, as well we have virtually nothing that's against earnings for this year and very little for next year so if we want to see some sort of fundamental tax reform tha makes it better operating environment for u.s. based corporations you could see some upside to earnings as well it's not just about multiples. >> people have been talking around the idea the last few days that hey, why do we keep citing earnings as a reason for going up you can look at earnings over the last two quarters have been up double din its. that's the first time that's happened in about six or seven years. they point to what's happening or what's expected to happen in the second half. that's what i guess you came into you're not convinced that the earnings gains will be that low. >> look, we're expecting ear

ryan? >> mike? >> the woman just sent in a picture of the moon last night over wilmington. you via e-mail. >> i'm working on pulling it up right now. >> ryan, mr. man, at fox tv. com. >> mr. man? >> see it? there it is. >> there it is. he is framing it up. >> okay, wasn't worth the wait. very small. >> that's the problem with moon pictures, they look to your eyeballs like the biggest pizza pie in the sky. you take a picture and you're like what's that little tiny spec? >> that's, yes, okay, sorry. >> all right, knew. >> definitely had to be there. i just thought i would start off with a look at the weather in greenbay. right now, why? because it is raining there, so the field's going to be kind of sloppy, and chance of showers in the forecast for later tonight. just so you know. nothing is happening with the weather except it is great. ten out of ten, look at our beautiful sunrise, which happened officially at 6:08. 67 degrees right now with calm winds, and celebrating national smors day, right by the campfire, is bus stop buddy. most of the temperatures are in the six's th

. >> shepard: mike, the house speaker paul ryan says president trump messed up his response to the charlottesville attack. speaker ryan criticized mr. trump for saying there were fine people marching with the white supremacist. >> i believe that he messed up in his comments when it sounded like a moral equivocation or moral ambiguity. we need extreme moral clarity. >> speaker ryan said he and president trump spoke yesterday about the need for moral clarity. back to mike in phoenix. mike? >> well, shep, vice president mike pence handled the criticism like a diplomat, essentially not attacking paul ryan, who he once served with in the house. he took the time to defend the president. >> criticism comes with the job. we recognize that. the president couldn't have been more clear since that terrible day in charlottesville, that tragic day, that we condemn bigotry and hate and violence in all its forms. we denounce white supremacists, the kkk and the neo-nazi organizations. >> pence went on to say that the president has said many times we're stronger as a nation when we're united. shep? >> shepard: mike

peter heart asked that same focus group on a number of different officials, mike pence, paul ryan. just going to single out the tough on squlon kelly because the group in general, strong strong, reliable, baby-sitter, finger in a dike. but that's all a bunch of people feeling good about it, though feeling as if there's someone there. the guard rails are up. >> right. and people are invested in kelly this sense that he was going to come in and right the ship and he come ports himself in a way that we expect someone in the white house at that level to behave. but there's also this rlsization, there was sort of temp erg the expectations that there's only so much he can do. there was that famous quote you can go in and be focused on the chief part or the staff part when you go into that position and most successful people focus on the staff part. and this realization that john kelly is not going to manage donald trump. >> you get the sense john kelly went in there to say it's my job to help run the government. >> right. >> and i'm not going to try to manage him anymore. there's no win

he is going to need senators mike mcconnell and house leader paul ryan. time to come together. i don't think we need the wall. i think he's done an effective job. neil: you know, you could look at this and say it might be a viable part of this. a lot of people say he's deemed a racist, just doing his job going after illegals and it scared other sheriffs after the feds are coming after them to do their job. the results are the resulting he said he brought up the results to get a handle on illegal immigration in his county. does that speak to himself or would that be pardoned or not? >> i think this will always continue to be an issue. immigration is a challenging issue for the republican party. it has been for several years already. whether you take tougher immigration, whether it's legal or illegal immigration tone like the president has or whether you look more at the reform angle is folks like marco rubio have, what you see this is a very divisive issue. so if we move forward as a party in terms of getting things done, looking towards the fall, it's imp

former presidential candidate and arkansas governor mike huckabee. dierks star ryan sirhan, linebacker and democratic congressional candidate: already this year as well. you don't want to miss any of those fine gentleman to find ladies you have coming out. coming together on the republican agenda, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell pushing back on reports of a deteriorating relationship with president trump, insisting the two leaders remained in regular contact over their shared legislative goals. in a statement, the majority leader said he and the president are committed to advancing our shared agenda to gather and anyone who suggests otherwise is clearly not part of the conversation. white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders says they remain united on shared priorities including middle-class tax relief, strengthening the military, constructing the southern border while another issues adding that the new plans to meet with the congressional recess and after labor day and this has republicans on capitol hill worried about the legislative goals for the re

among republicans, so i think that is the answer and the explanation fully for why mike pence, mitch mcconnell and paul ryan are not condemning him by name because he's popular in the party right now. and i think that explains why they are behaving the way they are. they are trying to dance this way where they criticize trump's remarks and disavow them, but not criticize trump himself and that's a hard line to draw. >> some aren't drawing a line, john. i mean, you have got some key republicans calling the president out by name. those are not a surprise. those are people who have done that and critics of the president. but republicans have not -- i mean, i think it is important to say things that are not hard to do is denounce racism. >> yeah. or denounce nazis. >> anti-semitism, neo-nazis. things that seem to be harder to do for republicans is call out the president when he isn't denouncing it really himself. are they afraid of something? >> i think they're trying to walk a line in which there is not a lot of room for subtly, which is your point. look, they're trying to see if they could salvage something r

for whatever reason, paul ryan seems to hem and haw. mikelittle more but you'd like to see aly mo -- a little more from the speaker. >> and say his name when david duke takes great comfort from the words of the president of the united states. paul ryan needs to step up and start doing that. not just for the take of this country but for his own sake. let's bring in the co-author of "political playbook." if it's a strategy, it's the stupid strategy on capitol hill. you guys are reporting that he's called quite a few people and done quite a few destructive things, destructive for his own efforts in trying to build a governing coalition. >> yeah, it befuddling. eye find myself saying that more and more recently. there's simple math here. you need 50 votes to pass anything. so if he angers two people, he's not going to get it done. he called bob corker and complained about russia sanctions in an angry phone call, called thom tillis about legislation that senator blumenthal was just talking about, about protecting bob mueller. i want to touch on t

and then you go to mitch mcconnell and paul ryan and have a summit with maybe mike pence and niek airselping to bring it all together and say let's organize our fall so that we can roll out sws we did the 14 congressional review act. so i'm very optimistic of a reset of what a coalition goth -- and i've been calling it a coalition government for months. i've used the analogy before as well. there is the party of president trump which includes a lot of people who are never republicans before. in my home county president obama won 60%. donald trump won 55%. they all swichld over to president trump. i think the party of trump and the party of congressional republicans have frayed in the past month. i think that can be put back together again, and i mentioned for the second time watch in this case airs and mike pence. i think they're going to be the glue that the president is going to ask to help him repair. and the president has always campaigned on the same four or five things. 355 ship navy. that means the repeal of the budget control acted. he campaigned on a border fence. he's going t

i think mike pence and donald trump working with paul ryan, mitch mcconnell, here is that a short listings we need to get done. be successful. i think they can get it done. if you may like the agenda, but the stock market sure does. >> i think a lot of the stock market is undeniable. 22,000 is a record just recentl recently. unless you have a defined pension, for example, or enough money to invest in a 401(k), mainstreet america with the people that i work for in ohio senate are not necessarily feeling the strength of wall street. i think at some point there is a distance. i think democrats and republicans need to work together. i think it will be a challenge for republicans to advance their agenda, whether or not i agree with it or not. there's already been proven that you have two factions of the republican party. moderates and freedom caucus, who are having a difficult time coming together and building a consensus. it may be necessary, and frankly oftentimes legislation and laws are much better for the american people when both parties come together and actually are participating in

>> i don't think anybody will be surprised if mike pence runs with donald trump. worked with paul ryan, mitch mcconnell on a partisan-only strategy on health care and coming now on tax care and aligned himself with a number of democratic governors as well as other republican governors saying it's a misguided way to run the country. a logical base anden white collar suburbanites with whom he is polling incredibly poorly now for a republican president with over 50% of college educated whites saying they strongly disapprove of his presidency. in the quinnipiac poll last thursday. doing traveling, again, anti-trump -- look, it's hard to unseat a sitting president in your own party. even ted kennedy couldn't do it in 1980, but there is an opening there that would reveal, i think, if we get to this point in three years, would reveal some of the general election challenges that a president trump would face in re-election, showing some voters he's having trouble consolidating. >> for all the unease, the positive job numbersen friday. more than a million jobs added since trump took office. migh

. >> speaker ryan put out a very strong comment. mike pence put out a very strong statement. into this terrible trap of talking about things like monuments and statues. the purpose is clarity of message. and it is disappointing they even put him in that position. a lot of people say he's playing to the base. that's a very judgmental statement as well about the base. the base is a lot of democrats too. i think it is disappointing that we're not all united. >> you're not happy about it. two people are happy. one is donald trump, the president of the united states. and the other one is david duke. last word to the mayor. mayor, go ahead. >> hopefully a message of hopeful we've been here before. we've been here several times in the history of our country and people of good will have come together to move us forward. i reach out to my friends. come together and repudiate this nonsense and let's walk arm in arm into a future that i believe the united states of america could and should have. >> please come back. i want to thank as always. >> as the mayor just said, are we really sur

i think they were slightly the role as being liaisons to paul ryan, mitch mcconnell and the republican congress. host: vice president mike pence? guest: vice president mike pence probably the strongest tie to republicans in the house and senate, although even pence hasn't served in congress he came as hile, governor of indiana, he's liked and respected by everybody in has experienced to slative staff, in order succeed, have you to kind of manage around both the that trump himself seems to throw up on a pretty regular basis and also all the jockeying for position in trump's staff. the question of who he listens i think it changes from day to day. days s ago, i guess 12 kushner, ivanka trump, his daughter, wanted to bring in scaramucci as director, reince priebus and steve bannon objected, they were overruled. flash forward two weeks and the apparently is not listening to those two anymore, scaramucci his way, is gone, new white house chief of staff. i think it changes from day to day. from hour to hour, who trump is listening to what he does.oing "devil's book, bargain: steve bannon, donald trump and the storming of the p

i love it, but no, i don't think vice president mike pence is eyeing a presidential run as we speak. >> i want to play what former bush 43 writer ned ryan said yesterday. >> if republicans do not pass a piece of major legislation by the end of the year, whether it's health care or tax reform, let's face it speaker be pelosi is not out of the question. i am convinced that in january of 2019 there would be a significant amount of democrats in the house that want to seek impeachment. >> do you think they'll go their own way to avoid a 2018 loss. >> i think you are seeing it. republicans who are in tight races distancing themselves from president trump. they'll also be careful, they need to make sure they don't ail nate a republican base that has stuck with president trump so far. so that'll be a balancing act just how much do they distance themselves, how much do they tie themselves. but it ned's right it's not out of the question that the democrats can win the house of representatives if republicans don't show they can pass legislation. >> what about this article how democrats are concerned about blow back if they don't stop focussing on

ryan reynolds smirk and salma hayek kick butt. one says it already feels like you're half watching it on tnt. >>> next, from the director "magic mike"logan lucky." he's an unemployed football star and they set up a heist at a nascar race. >> got hem for 100 in a neon blue car that probably ain't even on the market yet. don't you think you're asking for, to be pulled over. >> sunday on a holiday weekend, police department hit by budget cuts. there's only one patrol for 30 miles. >> that's still one musker. >> it's been handled. >> nellie, i'm about to get naked back here. so no peekin'. i said no peekin'. >> a very different role than what we're used to. adam driver and riley keel are also starring in the film. critics are loving "logan lucky", giving it a solid 92% on rotten tomatoes. it's called a high-spirited low one says great fun and one of the most purely entertaining movies of the year. >> he doesn't have to go to james z2gv6z zi0z y2gv6y yi0y >>> this morning on "world news now." the breaking news from spain, the terror attack. >> overnight another attack and a firefight taking place between police and suspects. the governm

mike baker. former station chief daniel hoffman and security expert ryan morrow. let's start with you, mike.op this. a guy jumps out of a subway with a knife. somebody else steams over people with in a car. what's going on? >> yeah. the answer and it's unsatisfactorying is you can't stop. going to lock down traffic and search every vehicle? it's not going to happen. you can't minimize this risk down to zero. and, you know, honestly, the french authorities, the security services are very good at what they do. but, this is the world we live in. and, you know, we try to minimize, disrupt and prevent but you are not going to stop everything. brian: ryan, ramadan is over. we saw one in london and about three in england. and we thought, okay, ramadan is over. it will ratchet down. it's not. >> well, there is that spike during ramadan. that's because they believe the reward when you go to paradise is higher if you die in jihad during that time period. these are people who think they are going to cleanse their sin from their lives if they commit jihad, die in jihad and that's the way they are going

i do not understand why ryan and mcconnell are so polite. >> tom, since you're in mike manslaughter feel's home state, it's always fun to get that little trivia in there, i guess -- my explanation for why republicans aren't standing up is i think they fear that the voters might be with trump. >> well, i think in the republican party they still are as you probably remember, i was in powell, wyoming just a week ago. that was a community that won 707% for trump and there was a fair amount of damage done by the time i got there, but they were still for him. guess who they were not for? all of us. they believe that this is a liberal cabal directed by the news media in this p country and a number of them are pretty happy with the way he is standing up to what they see rl institutions and people who are no longer supporting their ideals and what they want. but of course that's wyoming. a very republican state. i'm more interested in what's going to happen in ma comb county michigan, which was a big surprise for donald trump carrying that. we'll see what happens in the industrial midwest. >>up, mi

ryan and mcconnell and all the rinos in congress? 97% of you said absolutely. joining me, charlie hurt, and mike gallagher.at to have you both here. let's start with mitch mcconnell and high expectations. charlie? this is the president's fault. he actually expects congress and the senate to do something and to do so efficiently and productively and with some respect for the taxpayer, the citizen and time itself. charlie: last week there was something extraordinary that happened in the united states senate. that was a bill -- a bipartisan bill to basically block president trump from doing anything to stop the bob mueller investigation. what we have is more bipartisan support from republicans investigating donald trump than we have to keeping their promise to repeal and replace obamacare. that's an extraordinary thing to realize. they have not learned anything from donald trump. they are where they were when he entered the scene and they are going to pay a price for it. lou: thom tillis himself comes out as a republican sponsor of this legislation. i have got to say, i am going tonld as kind as i can. he's n

ryan? he's in the administration today. he is the vice-president of the united states. mike pence. two more to go. i have a statement on social security, i consider it a breach of faith to renege on its promise, it would be a rotten thing to do. who do you think said that? this goes back a long time in history. he with as a congressman, one of the most powerful congressmen of his time in the early '80s. who said tip o'neill? excellent. and the last one i bet you all guess. i'm going to keep social security without change, except i'm going to get rid of the waste, the fraud and the abuse. candidate donald trump, now president donald trump. point is a lot has been said about social security, a lot based on misconception and misunderstanding and myth. that's why today we're demystifying this program. and we will have a very busy day and let me turn it over to the next panel. thank you. [applaus [applause] >> thank you, bill. so, good morning, everyone, thank you for taking the time to come today. i know that many of the things competing demand on your time. and in particular, my colleague has put tre

. >> mike, i'm kind of surprised, i have to say, leader mcconnell, during the campaign was far less out there than, say, speaker ryanspeaker ryan withholding his endorsement for a month, expressing more serious reservations, mcconnell much more quiet on the subject, and yet this relationship is really is worse one between the two. >> mcconnell was critical of trump during the campaign, but in his own very dry, subtle way, that the white house picked up on, but trump has a certain president for mcconnell. he's an age peer, he's roughly the same age, he had a long record of accomplishments, trump admired his political acumen. he punched through gorsuch, which is one of the main accomplishments of this administration. but the moment that, you know, he comes up short for trump, it's, you know, it turns into this. and this relationship has been one of the more fascinating ones to watch, mcconnell is one who brings in notes of a conversation, has a checklist of what he wants to be on the agenda. and he has had to wait out trump on the phone, while he kinds of winds out news of the day, talk about the office, while mcconne

mike pence has a decision to make today. he has a decision to make along with mitch mcconnell, paul ryan, and all the leadership of republicans. democrats too have to be cliche, but republicans have to be clear, this is not -- no republican has ever spoken like this. i don't assign this to the republican party, but i tell you this. if they don't stand up and sustain it, there are going to be a number of republicans -- democrats and americans alike who say, this is not the party that nicolle wallace was a part of that george h.w. bush and george w. bush represented for so many years. michael steele who has been as outspoken and smart as anyone on this, i give you credit, you are not aligned with this. >> i bet they punt. >> it's shocking. >> let me read what you wrote about this frank. trump is the yardstick by which all of the other republicans measure large. he makes you yearn for leaders you never in your wildest dreams considered yearn worthy. when did you wish someone could summon the passion and clarity of ted cruz. he is this -- i'll say it -- this disgrace -- a disgrace to the republican party, to anyone who has ever g

mike pence gets wounded in an impeachment proceeding it doesn't help republicans in twenty eighteen so if anything republicans want to ride it out and hopefully get someone to replace i'll bring this in and paul ryan as his v.p. and paul ryan becomes the spokesperson for the you know i think it's so great to see you guys want to overturn d'amato democratically elected president by using impeachment to get somebody out not because they did anything illegal on board with what is well beyond that of brian impeachment is part of the democratic process it's in their constitution it's there for a reason sam i mean you have not this is not anti-democratic i mean i would point out and i asked this of my friends on the left who are afraid of mike pence and say oh we should impeach him then what would trump have to do that would make him worthy of impeachment i mean if anybody a lot of people can answer that question they can't come up with something he's already done plenty you know that's worth impeachment in my book. the koch brothers are all in on donald trump's push for so-called tax reform as bloomberg reports the influential oligarchy are planning to spend millions in support of the president's plan
