i did when i was working on russell kirk. i found this great letter in 1962 from a guy from general motors who was raising money for goldwater. he said the problem with raising money for goldwater is when he would take goldwater and nixon around to various groups to get money, nixon would always say yes, whatever it was that the group wanted. and goldwater would lecture them on how they were wrong and they could never raise money for goldwater. i always thought that was a great story to compare those two. >> yes, in the back. >> when reagan ran for president, he did not have much conservative infrastructure. there was no washington time, no talk radio, no internet, no leadership institute. now i am rather hopeful that there is a huge conservative infrastructure in place in the country with lots of information , you can now research milton friedman and see videos on youtube. with that in mind, do you have greater hope that conservatives can do better? >> i loved earlier when rod was saying we have to think about this decentral

russell kirk wrote a 478 page book, "the conservative mind." frank meyer came up with a new anotherfusionism. author contented himself with explaining why he was not a conservative. ayn rand, what did she do? she flashed the sign of the dollar. that was her explanation of what it is. here we are, nine at this old bone, trying yet again to answer , what is conservatism? here are a few thoughts. the volumeard to "american conservative thought of the 20th century, the liberal professor leonard leavy describes william f buckley's conservatism is the following. "vigorously individualistic, in favor of ordered liberty, hostile to promiscuous a gala terry and is him, and pronounceable he -- pronounceable he -- pronounceably a get a terry and his him. experiment, it has a deep streak of romantic utopianism. the professor believes conservative thought is addressed to shaping a visionary or paradigmatic society. he finds the 20th century to be a hideously science-centered age, with the passion for a quality that subverts the ideal society. what does mr.

russell: it does appear to be.hat is one of the main demands. ,o shrink the investment bank it uses up a lot of capital and that goes in direct conflict to what jes staley is trying to do. he is trying to boost the investment bank and feels there is a future in investment banking for barclays. they had a good quarter last quarter in the trading, but it hasn't been performing well in recent times. and whatthat conflict this activist shareholder wants to do is shrink that operation, which has about 25 billion pounds of capital and distribute that more to shareholders. we will just have to see how that plays out. guy: thank you very much, russell ward, bloomberg's asia finance editor joining us out of tokyo. standard chartered already trading sharply to the upside in hong kong. , a return to europe now decision on italy's next prime minister could be announced in days. whether the president will give a chance to lead a populist governments. thee have been doubts about law professor's suitability for the post. we are j

why will not the russell be affected? >> i think the russell will be affected in some areas.ss so than the broader market. there will be winners and losers from the actions. [closing bell rings] small cap steel stocks will be beneficiaries? liz: thank you very much. a rick hodges, small-cap fund. we have big trade talk on "after the bell." david: another day, another swing in stocks. back in the red now, dow closing down 251 points. all major averages ending lower for the day but higher for the second month in a row. hi, everybody i'm david asman. melissa: i'm melissa francis. this is "after the bell." we have more on big market movers. here is what else we're covering in this very busy hour. time's up. u.s. exemptions on steel and aluminum tariffs for europe and mexico and canada have now expired. reaction pouring in from across the globe. here at home with some of our closest trade partners threatening retaliation. the u.s. chamber of commerce now warning these tariffs will threaten millions of

and those are all found in the russell 2,000. we talked about it a few months ago. you haven't been rewarded being there. big move last friday, up 1.7%. my new strategy is to go mine the russell 2,000 for domestic names that are going to still benefit from free cash flows in the new tax reform and the trouble with the russell 2000 which has been a challenge is i can't manage 2,000 names, but it's chock full of rates and companies that don't make money. somebody has to do the work to carve those out and find the ones that are not reits that are profitable i have been working with ftse russell, so i'm talking my book a little bit, but we reconsitated the index this morning, and it's all all the reits pulled out of it, and i'm betting on that. 300 names all benefitting from tax reform i'm thinking that's the way to go to beat the doldrums we're having in the s&p. forget the trade wars. stop worrying about interest rate hikes and go after core america that has cash increases from tax reform and won't be stymied by tweets about a trade war. >> you think a portfolio of sm

well look at the russell 2000 here, it's been in the trading range for most of the quarter and starting to challenge the upper end of the trading range so from a very short-term standpoint, it's not unusual to see some of the leaders pull back the russell at 1600 there is a lot of resistance there it starts to pull back. but when you look underneath the surface of the s&p 500, you advance the decline line, it is starting to break out to all-time highs it's unusual to see a market start a major downturn with the s&p 500 being at all-time new highs. i think the set up is pretty constructive longer term through 2018 we have a problem. but right now thing is a normal short-term pullback. when you look at a lot of the secular leaders, they've had a big, big run it's not surprising to me that they start to pull back. but some of the laggards are interesting as well. bank of america, sideways for most of the first quarter into the second quarter coming right off its 200-day moving average not dissimilar to what it did back in '16. that's a pretty attractive setup. that's a full four to five-mo

the russell 2000 is even a bit stronger. this battle between peoples and -- bulls, technically, and the bears. typically, this is a bolt pattern. if that continues, this for entire area will create an -- an equal and opposite move higher. you want to see the russell 2000 trading at these levels for a few weeks to know that this pattern is confirmed and will not talk down to the downside, as it more often does. let's take a look at the big movers for the russell 2000, shoring on the $2 billion takeover of a vet diagnostics company. is a medical health and vaccine company. we have other charts on this board, but i'm not seeing those right now. consumer discretionary shares, macy's, nor some, jcpenney, 10%, beatingring estimates right across the board, raising the full-year outlook, really leading many investors to wonder whether this is the inflection point that many have been hoping for, not that macy's is doing best in the department store space. look at mort norstrom and jcpenney. 16% for both macy's and nordstrom, some of

. >>> russell crow and john oliver are in a giving mood.n oliver bought a lot of stuff from crow's big divorce auction, including the jockstrap he wore. for the bargain price of $7,000. >> they kept joking that it was used. in all, oliver bought nearly $80,000 of memorabilia which he donated to the last blockbuster store in anchorage, alaska, you can go there and check it out for yourself. russell was inspired by john's generosity and wanted to honor him with his own, well, award. >> he gave him an actual award. the john oliver koala chlamydia award. >> oliver's response? well played, russell crowe, well played. >>> next to one of 2018's undeniable breakout stars. the yodel kid from walmart. you remember him? 11-year-old mason ramsey, captivated our hearts and eardrums. serenaded unsuspecting shoppers. >> i got into it. since mason's music career has blown up, he has not forgotten where he came from. this is a crowd yesterday at a knoxville, tennessee walmart where he performed. >> look at how many people are out there to watch him. and it

are 1% from an historic high in the russell 2000.6 would be the historic high you break out there, you're going to start hearing people talk about not just breaking down trends but now we're in an uptrend. >> does that talk to the fact, bob, that we've seen the dollar strengthen perhaps not as effective negatively as some of the big cap names? >> i think that's a factor in holding it up. but the narrative has changed a little we talk about the bears having a narrative a week ago now in the last week we've had better economic data the jobs report. ppi today did not indicate runaway inflation. there's a little bit of an issue in commodity but we had the ten-year auction 3% holding right now and finally we had earnings. still second, third, fourth quarter all still holding up no decline there at all. remember peak earnings is a bogus argument if we get economic growth. and we are continuing to get economic growth. >> you mentioned ppi there softer than people expected. that's of course producer price inflation. what if tomorrow cpi is o

i'm henry tenenbaum and we're here with the founder of russel's fine furniture, richard russell and his- this is elias, he's our general manager. he's been with the company for 30 years so-- - and how old are you? - 27. - i've known him all my life. - so i've known him forever, he's part of the family. knows all the furniture. - he even looks like josh, that's what's amazing. - yeah, identical twins. - they could've been twins. - oh my god, no. - okay, separated at birth.

kirkn friedman and russell and coming out of that was the beginnings of where are we? what are the ideas? what can be some kind of philosophical foundation for a olitical movement, because up until that time, we had been intellectual than a political movement. following goldwater and our we were t with that very fortunate because along came, just as you know, very thereafter in 1966, ronald reagan. and so we were able to transfer that energy and excitement engendered with barry goldwater to ronald reagan, and thing.as certainly a key i think also, one has to say reagan was many things, but one of the reasons why he was so he was a man of intense ambition, we forget that. he really wanted to be president. there has been some recent research on this, which has shown that he was really trying hard to get the nomination in 1968. didn't realize that in my own research. that's now come to light. >> he was closer than a lot of time.e knew at that >> right. right. tom reed and others as well. and f intense ambition, also willing to be pragmatic about things and reaching out to
