. >> reporter: christine and dave, for the surreal scenes at the white house and the unorthodox moments, there was a major one yesterday at the white house when rapper kanye west was coming for a private meeting with president trump to talk about prison reform. they were scheduled to have a private lunch and nothing on the public schedule. all that changed when the president invited kanye west into the oval office. sitting right there at the resolute desk, the president listened as kanye talked. >> i love hillary. i love everyone, right? the campaign i'm with her just didn't make me feel as a guy that i did not get to see my dad all the time. a guy that can play catch with his son. it was something about when i put this hat on and it made me feel like superman. if he didn't look good, we don't look good. -- if he don't look good, we don't look good. he needs to be the freshest and flyes. we have to make -- flyest. we have to make him the best. >> reporter: with the rant going on for ten minutes and kanye talking about race relations and other matters. the president clearly enjoying the

it's an unorthodox one.e that was not an easy one to deliver but she did it in a way that i think got her a little respect and is effective. there is often -- as often position that the president to take the stronger positions on foreign affairs must be inherently disagreeable and i think she showed that you can be respected and very well reflected delivering messages that many people don't want to hear. i have always been very appreciative of her. >> so to do is under some pressure and apparently them cows are not eating much of it, there seems to be a movement towards conservativism right no now. i'm chairman of the idea which is the global ideation of conservative parties and i tend not to comment on day-to-day political parties. but i will say this, at the same time it does give canada a comprehensive access to the american market which is essential. also i will say something, it gives the real opportunity for both of the candidates over mexico. there are some pretty strong incentives in there, so i'm tr

and they are sticking to the unorthodox approach to raising capital. >> and with uber the reason it it'srthodox is because available to a select number of investors who order it, specifically targeting the sale. it's not broadly indicated, and that's probably because they want to keep the financials closer, so they are limiting the audience of who can limit it. shery: do you think in uber offering would be comparable to an offering from tesla? uber look back at how looked earlier in the year, they were able demand and to accelerate the strong commitments on the loan. it is still trading around par. in the new issue process was able to upside the offering, unfortunately for tesla the fund has not been as far as when it was issued. thank you so much for that. reporter,ate finance molly smith. according to the financial times, james murdoch is a favorite to replace elon musk as tesla chair. we know tesla has made a deal with the sec, and elon musk had to step down as chairman, now the financial times reporting that james murdoch could be the favorite to replace him as chairman of tesla. ano

mostly, and kind of crazy because the live tv experience had made us a little fearless, a little unorthodoxthe big game in the world is the movies. it's the biggest game. it's always been the biggest. so when a television director gets a chance to make a feature, they're going to go flat out. (jazz music playing) (gene siskel) they were determined to break with the patterns and genres. they would make revisionist detective stories, revisionist westerns. they thought they could do something fresh. (narrator) frankenheimer, cassavetes, lumet, penn and tv directors now began to make feature films. the intensity and innovation that characterized their work on television challenged conventional filmmaking, leading to the most important films of the next decade. you can imagine getting out to a place like hollywood, where everything is very tightly proscribed. a director does this. a first assistant does that. i didn't know, for instance, i was supposed to say "action." (woman moaning) (arthur penn) it's a combination of what i would call the irreverence of television and technique of film. (wom

different kind of character is a whole differentnt styl- give me a chance i mean sometimes his unorthodox way of getting deals and getting conversations the negotiating duly does duly to result in united states. is extremely popular right now just the us for a few weeks in their states he's doing really really well the blue wave that everybody was pretty intimate terms is disappearing. that the senate is going to probably stay in republican policies work and sometimes the is successful the economy is booming unemployment is a fifty year low -- given a little bit of the benefit of the doubt. and is this is the is this a re run of nafta with trump first of all saying i'm pulling out in the number to go chasing a re run of what happened on the korean peninsula with threats being made and then negotiations beginning a we singled out again is. not that i think that is a third of the approach that we haven't seen that happen for instance on the climate change treaty where he did pull out and on the iran deal. it's taken a very long time to sort of move on to the next step is just not happened y

whole different kind of character as a whole different style given the chips i mean sometimes his unorthodox way of getting deals and getting conversations in the go do lead to deletes results in united states he's extremely popular right now just in the us for a few weeks and there are states he's doing really really well the blue wave that everybody was putting into the midterms is disappearing the senate is going to probably stay in republican hands perhaps even the house it's a real shock so trump policies work and sometimes he is successful the economy is booming unemployment is a fifty year low give him a little bit of the benefit of the doubt and is this is this a rerun of nafta with trump first of all saying i'm pulling out in the number of negotiating a revote something on the korean peninsula with threats being made and then to go she asians beginning that we single out again is the i think that is that of the approach but we haven't seen that happen for instance on the climate change treaty where he did pull out and iran it's taken a very long time to sort of move on to the next s

in 2015, 2016, he ran one of the most unorthodox campaigns ever, and he won lots and lots of america to him because he's a great marketer. and it turns out, a lot of the conservative media world that i thought was a little more driven by policy commitments ended up being a little more driven by being anti-democrat. and president trump was great at doing anti-democrat. >> but is that because of loneliness? because that's a pretty significant problem in our politics, what you've just outlined. >> it is a big problem in our politics, but i do think it's because of loneliness. political institutions matter, but what really matters is volunteerism love, neighborliness, persuasion. most of the institutions that should matter shouldn't be political institutions. when they're hollow politics fills the void. >> so, the entire first year you were in the senate, you didn't speak. you were conscientiously choosing to observe what was happening. and when you finally went down to the well of the senate, you had a lot of observations and a lot to say. what did you learn? >> so, i'm a historian by t

how trump thinks about these roles is obviously different than other unorthodox presidents have.ie role. does this person fit with collection i have assembled, do i have a good gut feel for this person? does this person fit the role? yesterday he said she brought glamour to the u.n. job. i don't think people typically think of it as a glamorous position. i think they typically think of it as a diplomatic position. but he does care about whether or not someone looks the part, feels like they would be the right person on stage, on camera for him on this said topic. >> so who is favored to replace nikki haley, given what you just outlined. who are some of the people that could potentially meet some of those criterion that the president wants? >> what we're hearing is it's deena powell's job if he wants it. the white house, the president pretty much signaled that yesterday in his comments. i think he feels like he would be replacing nikki haley with someone he knows, someone who is female, which is important given that this is a male come the nated white house and he is somewhat sens

even the slightest irritation to him, the slightest threat shows in using extremely brutal and unorthodoxeasures, and this regrettably maybe one in which he has simply gone totally beyond the pale. david: from what you know about him antiregime over here, is this to communicate his strength, his consolidating power, like the detention in the rit or isz this an, indication he is not feeling as secure as he might like? prof. jordan: i think it is largely a sense of insecurity. he has alienated many of the senior ranks of royal family due to his authoritarian measures and his tactics. i think this suggests that he is not feeling secure, that he wants to stifle any type of dissent and does not feel like he is going to accommodate it. even those who demonstrated in favor of women's rights to drive, for example, were thrown in jail just as he was allowing women to drive. he wanted to make it clear that those rights were really not rights, they were privileges granted by him and the royal family. this i think is a sign of weakness and a sign of insecurity. david: among the things whereby the "wa

i wanted to come one a crazy unorthodox approach to pursue my dream. >> reporter: he was not a blue chip college prospect. did he play college ball at el ginn university. he tried out with four teams and played semi-pro ball in australia. he almost gave up on his nba dream. then he reynold joe anderson. three years ago, he stood outside the stwamd a sign saying, not homeless but starving for success. anderson was later signed to the new york jets practice squad. arrington's stunt has gotten the attention of some real warriors. sean livingston gave him two tickets to a game and offered advice. >> continue to follow your dreams but follow with it some action. the action was trying out for the g-league. >> reporter: he homes to get an invite to try out for the santa cruz warriors in the g-league. playinging a jump to the nba is not unheard of. alfonso mckenney played in the g league last year. whatever it is, he homes to inspire others. he posts inspirational messages on swoem a #, be the why. >> it means not being afraid to pursue the craziest zpreem asking yourself, is that crazy enough?

more than 60 people million people voted against you, allowing an unorthodoxed charlatan to win the electoralote and he gets to do the neat stuff winners do like pick supreme court justices and take credit for the economy. you just get to be the jaded also ran and will no longer lead the party you ushered out of power with toxic unlikability. that's the memo. hillary clinton's comments are especially concerning given the number of trump administration officials and republican senators who have been harassed in public. but the presidential election season begins after the mid terms. is hillary angling for round two against trump and a third losing round? the panel is back to discuss. marie, tom and brook. brook, i will start with you. i think every time she opens her mouth it is a gift because it's more material. people say that, you know, analysts like me unflair attack her when she is putting herself out there and she cannot let go of her loss, and it's a desperate humiliation. >> she is parroting the so-called resistance movement. to me i find these very threatening and scary word. if you b

this seems unorthodox at best. i mean, when you're adding mitigation measures, it means to me that the mitigation measures that you had were inadequate. so i've been doing this on and off for getting on 20 years, i've never seen the department dump mitigation measures on the board in the middle of a hearing that the public has never seen before. that -- i mean, one of the fundamental underpinnings of ceqa is transparency and is public involvement and is that iterative process, so this is -- seems like that in and of itself is contrary to what ceqa intends, which is a real public involvement and input and people should come here and be able to say your mitigation measures aren't adequate and you need additional mitigation measures. that's why the legislature requires environmental documents to be appealable to an elected body. so i'm not sure, i mean -- i don't know what your response to that is, but this is janky. >> president cohen: supervisor -- i'm sorry. i'm going to give the department an opportunity to respon

i think the markets have become comfortable with trump's unorthodox strategy that kicked into high gearsummer and into the fall. liz: why if things look very strong, we have a good common -- economy and we a trade deal with mexico, are you saying stick with big domestic names? >> absolutely, stick with the good, high quality names, if you want some further diversification emerging markets which has been a big laggard i think represent an opportunity here. i think the bigger more important, aspect, liz, stay fully invested. no reason to get defensive or cash or more fixed income. liz: zero? >> no reason. we may very well be in the mid-cycle, not the late cycle as it pertains both the economic cycle and the market cycle. liz: jpmorgan, j&j, dow dupont, three dow names. is there anything on the horizon you might say, okay if the fed raises for the fifth time or who knows, sixth in a year-and-a-half that might be a moment where you should raise a little cash? >> so you have the fed and the potential inversion of the yield curve. that has to be paid attention to. but i think the market is ad

charles: president trump as bombastic, hand fisted, unorthodox as he is, gets these folks who would otherwiseo take the bait. she took the bait. she really thought she was coming at him strong. she had video set up. the tweet set up. instead of going about her business and focus on the things that she talks about all the time, redistribution of wealth, those kind of things. >> you would think stick with the core issues and talk about that, but i guess the democrats are in a situation you talk about the massive jobs report. president trump is 7.1 million job man. very hard to run against that. if you have no other ideas or no other solutions you might talk about your fake indian heritage. charles: without a doubt a huge, huge mistake and that i can see. also the timing. ahead of the midterms is pretzel ish to be focused on her own potential 2020 campaign when democrats out there throughout the country are grappling for any kind of airtime and any press they can get. >> they are. the gop is running on basic concept, are you better off now than you were two years ago. democrats don't have an ans

republicans and a potent tool it could be to get him elected and we went along with those lists of highly unorthodox things for a candidate to do, but he remained very disciplined about it and one of the most effective claims that people would try to make to conservatives is you don't know who he is going to nominate. you don't know if he's going to stick to the list. conservatives are like i hope he will, i hope he's not going to put up judge judy. anything could happen. so not only did he stay disciplined through it, but once he got elected he kept to his word on those things. and it's that discipline on this issue that i think is one of the most important aspects of his success. but something tells me he's probably going to let loose tonight. the rally tonight -- i think that maybe judge kavanaugh's name will come up a couple of times and i think all the pent-up discipline that we've seen the last couple of weeks will be let down at that point. shannon: he may -- >> i do think moment that you referenced, shannon, where the president at that rally, where he openly mocked dr. ford, was a galvanizin

"what on god's green and golden earth is this person doing in the white house, because he's so unorthodox so course." it must have shocked the garters off of his calves. he was so terrified that maybe he did say those things. now everyone has gotten used to the president's comportment. >> harris: i am going to yield all my time to you. >> ari: can i offer, i don't think he wears garters. [laughter] >> melissa: we don't know because he won't answer any questions! >> emily: with supportive reviews to understand, will be crucial is whether or not there was inculpatory evidence was held before the fisa court. meaning, evidence withheld as the warrant was repeated, was approved repeatedly. that would have been on the other side of it. that's number one parade secondly, the fact that depending on what happens in the midterms, this fire will refuel. it is incumbent upon it to be completed as soon as possible. right now, i think that's part of the fervor. to touch on your oversight comment, the status quo right now is that transparency is that we are expecting in terms of the american public. the

a lot of people voted against hillary, but it was also this unorthodox style of thinking, and being abletackle problems and expecting their lives practically. if democrats, instead of doing a bad impression of president trump -- which is only further tearing the country apart because they are doing it right -- if they come up with actual ideas, and actual strategies, and do a reset and say to themselves "where do we go from here" instead of "let's relitigate these issues," they will have a much better shot. >> harris: i want to go to you, steve. before you were part of the fox family, you worked for david cameron across the pond in england. you saw some of what kennedy is talking about. that sort of misreading the electorate. >> steve: totally. the resistance base may not be 100% of the party. it's certainly 100% of the strategy right now. they have 100% control of their leadership. that's where they are going. the loony left, as it were, are taking over. it's a real danger for the party, just as you were saying, kennedy. this can spiral out of control. may be a few voices for moderation

very unorthodox economic views, believing inflation will only be controlled by lowering rates, which is unconventional. he has much greater authority for appointing people for overseeing the bank. so i do think there is a slight bit of difference, but that does not ignore the fact that trump is putting some kind of pressure on the fed because no one wants to be blamed and at the center of the spotlight if this turns into a bigger equity rout. nejra: since we have moved on to rates, let me ask you, as we are looking at the fed minutes as well, how much of a risk does the 10 year yield or other u.s. treasury rates posted this equity market rally -- prose to this equity market rally? mark: it's going to scare people that it's getting out of control, especially with the backdrop of the massive supply we have got, the deficit, and the fact that u.s. debt burden is growing at an exponential rate, so obviously, it will remain -- people are unsure what the new limit on the range is. that said, i do not think yield are ready to break out sustainably and we are in a slightly higher range of ro

but they have a president, despite all of his unorthodox behavior, his controversy, his handling of the khashoggi episode, to everything else, the economy is where it is and that's where the candidates running in the philly suburbs or columbus, ohio, suburbs, that's what's going to keep them in their seat if they do survive. >> i want to read you -- i talked about -- i questioned the president's grasp on american presidential history and want to put it to you now. this is from jonathan lemire's interview. trump showing off his list of accomplishments. you go point after point, each point is a major event but you just take a look. confirmed more circuit court judges than any other new administration. i'll give him $100 if he can name five. soon it will be more than any administration in history. who is the one, who is the one president that percentagewise has done better than me? there's only one. george washington. it's like something my 6-year-old would say. >> it would be interesting to have the time and the patience just to have an interviewer say, can you explain that? lesley stahl

but instead of filing for divorce, they planned to stay together with unorthodox rules. >> we decided to have an open marriage and she could start dating people. >> reporter: he says it was an attempt at saving a marriage in shambles, and he thought the open marriage was working, but apparently his wife didn't. three months after their new arrangement, ira says he was shocked when police came knocking on his door. susan had filed a restraining order. >> the sheriff gives me 20 minutes to pack my stuff, whatever i can grab. i'm escorted out of my house. i wind up in my parents' house living in my old high school bedroom. >> reporter: ira says susan claimed he was physically and verbally abusive to her and their children. ira says, not true. >> i am the least abusive person in the world. i don't even discipline my children. okay? they walk all over me like i'm a teddy bear. >> reporter: and in fact, several months later, ira says, susan withdrew the restraining order and wanted to reconcile. he agreed to try but soon enough, he says, the fighting flared up again and that's when a beauti

nontraditional voters who come out for the first time who feel the president may have sharp elbows, be very unorthodoxed, but he speaks his mind and they respect that. and more importantly, they respond to that and they turn out in the polls. >> might democrats respond also in the idea that this has been going on and there's so much anger on both sides about these issues? >> reasonable minds would agree, and i would say women would agree. the tone needs to come down and there needs to be leadership on this, but we've yet to see that. there's that void at the polls, in our leadership, but the question is who's going to fill that void? because somebody ultimately will. >> we've been hearing about this caravan of migrants coming up, that's immigration, border security long before they would actually reach here. what are democrats and republicans for that matter seeing in terms of the rally of their base on core subjects like immigration, border security, and on the democrat side about the, you know, the economy, about healthcare, those key issues? >> right. well, look, republicans recognize that immigratio

it's very unorthodox now that judge kavanaugh wrote the op-ed he did after that where he partially repennedearing where he said there should be no aisle at the supreme court, no caucus rooms at the supreme court. i think we all know we're headed towards an ugly red and blue jersey place in the judiciary. one guy who has been accused of gang rape and speaking about that and losing his cool i don't think is disqualifying. but i think it was unfortunate and i think justice kavanaugh agrees it was unfortunate. >> one more quick question about judge kavanaugh and then i'll ask you about an easy question how you erase a $20 trillion debt. one question about judge kavanaugh. the most disturbing answer, the most disturbing part of kavanaugh's testimony was when he was asked by senator harris whether congress or the president could ban somebody from entering the united states based solely on their race. he refused to answer that question, said that it was still before -- could still come before the supreme court. i don't think that's correct, is it? the president's first two so-called travel bans we

hey, dana, do you think that a lot of the blowback on kanye west is because his comments were so unorthodoxced when you were playing some of those super cuts there of the taylor swift praise, nobody was pretending to be a mental health professional and trying to psychoanalyze her from the anchor desk which a ton of people said yesterday. he previously said he was bipolar. what no one was talking about, what he told the president yesterday he was misdiagnosed. it is offensive, with the week of world mental health awareness day, that people are mocking mental health or his mental health because he is sharing a different viewpoint. taylor swift can support democrats. you had common was invited to the white house. in fact kanye west to the obama white house. lewd did i -- ludacris was at the obama white house. nicki minaj. no one attacked those individuals. they were all there when they went to visit former president obama to discuss criminal justice reform. when kanye west goes he is crazy and selling out his community. i never heard people be so confident and casual in their racism as i heard

by the way, because for the last 20 years we've had two 50% declines on the s&p, that is highly unorthodox, that happened in the '70s it happened in the last 20 years. and after that, you typically see 20 to 30-year bull markets with 15% to 20% declines along the way. i think you might see that, but not that bad. >> so you're not running with the bulls now. but you have run with the bulls in pamplona ten times. you've never gotten gored. >> 11, yeah. 11 and once close. i fell on the floor, but they ran around me. >> and in general electric you did get gored. >> i didn't take stock >> you didn't. that was smart december of '01 you sold to general electric you did not take stock >> that is correct >> never mind then so you're okay joe duran, thank you >> i'm all right thank you. >> joe duran, duran of united capital. lame was that really lame >> yes this is the song that was popular. >> should have done no mas >> you don't always have to make a play on somebody's name. >> what? what then what do we do at the end? it would be like every other show okay, fine we could get andrew back. >>> stil

two things that are unorthodox happening in the white house. i don't see that.irmed. brian: i have great faith when you talk to janice dean she will be there. ainsley: hey, janice. janice: look at all the great people that came to see us today! [cheering] let's look at the maps. i have a treat for you. we have cold air moving across the northeast. freeze advisories are posted for the midwest, great lakes and northeast. for folks in texas unfortunately more flood warnings. we have the singing men of texas. they will sing us a few bars. are you ready, singing men? take it away ♪ praise god from whom all blessings flow, praise him all creatures here below, praise him above ye heavenly host, praise father son and holy ghost ♪ janice: oh, my gosh. was that amazing! they're still going. back to you steve, ainsley, brian. ainsley: docksology, it is beautiful. thank you so much, janice. brian: talented audience. ainsley: this is christian audience today. brian: unless you have a skill or wonderful singing voice, please don't come. steve: no, you can come. brian: straigh

but, as usual, when the president proposes something that's different and might be unorthodox, i thinkrthy of a debate, people marginalize him right away. listen. >> what used to be five years ago, 10 years ago, dog whistles to appeal to the fear of white voters now are just stated openly. this is the hard line, immigration message. the fear of immigrants changing the way of life of americans. >> really hearkens back to some of the darkest chapters in america's history when in 1857 the dred scott decision. >> we are questions about national identity. it's not that far to get from that to issues of racism. steve: certainly it's a debate about immigration in this country. however, back in 1993, then senator harry reid of the great state of nevada introduced the -- to the senate judiciary committee the immigration stabilization act. and do you know what? it sounds a lot like what the president has suggested. here is harry back in '93. >> if making it easy to be an illegal alien isn't enough, how about offering a reward for being an illegal immigrant? no sane country would do that, right?

he is unorthodox. most president -- most presidents are afraid the federal reserve.president bush blamed alan greenspan for costing him the election. presidents are always away what the fed is doing. that's the only entity out there with as much power. we've been rocking and rolling, 2 for 2. >> sandra: you better own it, charles payne. you have to own it on the way down, too. >> watch the show at 2:00. >> sandra: great show. president trump with a warning to several central american nations as a caravan of illegal immigrants heads north toward the u.s. border, plus this. >> just win, baby. >> bill: nancy pelosi planning a return to speaker if democrats retake the house in november. why members of her own party could be standing in her way. that's something we'll talk to donna brazile about next hour. looking forward to seeing her. come on back after this. >> sandra: a caravan of migrants from central america slowly making its way to our southern border as president trump is holding their home countries responsible tweeting out this. the united states has strongly in

that i was -- he was going about things in an unorthodox way and he was bound to fail.outh korea. we made progress in north korea, yeah, north korea and now you don't hear those things anymore. no one is saying the approach is wrong. no one is saying that the aims are wrong. felt like president trump for a lot of the establishment, you know them better than anyone else, his goals were so lofty and his tactics were so, for lack of a better word, crude or unstatesman-like, now everyone believes he can achieve it all. >> i think the establishment is dumfounded. let's look at it, this president put america back to work. he put this country back to work and he kept us safe. he strengthened, i believe he strengthened our relationships with allies and he reached out to people who in the past who haven't been our allies to try to get them on board. that kept folks like china off balance. they haven't figured him out. they haven't figured him out yet. charles: van, stay with us. walid phares is joining us on the phone. your initial thoughts on breaking news. >> it was not expect
