i want to talk about the unum. a good year to be a vietnam historian. how has america's understanding of the war change over 50 years? >> i think the crucial shift has been more recent in certain ways. the reagan era brought a different way of thinking about the war. of notion thatd may be in fact it was a necessary war. there was a strategic point of being in vietnam. that set up a relatively contentious set of debates between historians who want to recover something out of vietnam , and then what has continued to be a mainstream historical then what has continued to be a mainstream historical perspective. a younger generation comes into all of this. the debate is about our generation. the first set of kids was teaching, the parents may have been in the war. it's a long time ago. it is a blank slate. they are able to think about it. not emotional for them. >> afghanistan has that sort of moniker. that's the way the war has been exceptional lysed. now you have a generation of people who have gone to .fghanistan >> it's a difference of course. all that t

the unum vets is -- vietnam vets, please tell your stories to your family. the other thing is, going to do vietnam write the empathy on washington tell us the story, doug. guest: they came home and the guys wanted to hear the stories about the unum, which is all the difference when you have an audience. i would urge him to say today to the vietnam bit veterans not to say to them shut up, but to listen and move on. we don't have to do anything with his stories. the biggest lesson that i learned is that we can't fix the pain but we can listen and become the audience. host: final thoughts, lynn novick? ken burns and myself and those work on the film, we have the privilege of spending 10 years listening to people tell their story in america and vietnam. one of the profound things to me the four trips, their unreconciled about what happened during the war and whether it is worth the cost. painful.l a enormously it was streaming there where millions have streamed it. it's opening up a conversation that they haven't had as well. i think it serves to the fundamental

we know that unum and lincoln, certain asset managers like invesco, amp, and so forth so it's banks, but it's also other interest rate sensitive stocks this is the important thing about small cap. waiting in the russell 2000, financials is 18%. so some of the outperformance in regional banks now has to be called into question if indeed this presumptive rate move higher is still not going to happen >> do you like this trade dan has put on >> i do like this tread. this week we saw exception ealy low volatility we saw the vix going down to 13. options are getting a lot cheaper. when we look at put spreads, one of the metrics we like to look at, if you're buying a put spread close to at the money, if you can buy that a quarter of the distance between the strikes, which would be a dollar, that's a good bet. this is quiete a good deal when you look at it because he's spending only 90 cents and this thing is slightly in the money already. when you think about the extrinsic premium you're spending for that spread and getting it until september, it's a bearish bet. >> i want to make one more

caller said he thought the military people that are in power presently would remember how bad the unum, and -- how bad vietnam was, and why to avoid war. i served in the army in germany from 1960 to 1963 and i became quite friendly, as friendly as a person can become with an officer, a captain. and a few days before i was discharged in germany, he was trying to talk me into staying thend he said, barry, economics and much, but it is the only war we have got. lifer, noterm derisively, because 12 years later was back in, in the dark, and finished my 20 years. so i love the army, but sometimes people forget that eisenhower would have retired as a lieutenant colonel had it not been for world war ii. everybody in the military likes to say peace is our profession, but they secretly yearn for a chance for advancement and that is understandable. and we now have what washington advises us to avoid, which is a standing military. we have created a military caste on the enlisted side and the officers side, and i don't think it bodes well for the country in many ways. i think it iss, beneficial to

david levine joined him raising up a shirt and of the scar of the unum. -- of vietnam. that?ol is it is something i will never forget. i will never forget. there are certain cartoons, none of them come to mind, they may come to yours. and cartoons about certain issues that leaves a branded image in your mind about that certain subjects. that is why satire is so strong. that is why cartoons are so important. and, so -- roslyn: we have some time for questions. please. not all at once. i know there are so many. that youd last night recused yourself from the case because you had [inaudible] if that true? roslyn: i should win an academy 12rd for trying to herd pulitzer cartoonist and you to ask a question like that. [laughter] uh oh. any other questions? yes? >> [indiscernible] i created a cartoon about the environment. [indiscernible] >> that was one of my cartoons that people bring up all the time. not just you. people. >> many people. >> it came from the heart. it came from the heart -- big oil. i may want to come up with that again like i did with this one. it is still relevan

and unum group lagged. there was so much anticipation of strong profits and the market had kind of started to find its footing. and then now lately, even today it was really just the last hour that things fell apart >> taking aggregate good numbers for granted. it's not an encouraging pattern. you have this heaviness later in the day. but i also think it's mostly sideways it says to me it's more of a confused churning market more than one that is particularly fearful you know, even with the selloff in the afternoon, it wasn't like there was an urgency to the selling. it was very kind of measured i don't say that to say it doesn't mean anything, but it doesn't change the pattern very much we're kind of in the middle of this lower zone. >> the volatility vix didn't moou much this was unchanged the market snapshot at 2:00 p.m. looked very different. >> i don't think the fed had much to do with it the fed said what we were expecting. inflation is there but the market's just having to slow drip downwards. it sta

kelly's got the second hour. >> unum. thank you. welcome, everyone. behind it. dow kept it alive with a 72 point gain it's the best performer on wall street, about a third of a percent higher to above 24,900 meanwhile, s&p and nasdaq added a tenth percent today, closing at 2730, 2411 respectively, and russell led higher in the near an all time high dropped .4% to close at 1600 on the nose in the markets today. moves in interest rates, dollar as well to get to. joining me now, cnbc senior market commentator, michael santoli and dennis berman, and john blank from investment research welcome, everybody topping the dow is united health and johnson and johnson trailed, and symantec rebounded after concerns in earnings and accounting mattel lagged down 4.5%. mike, what do you think of the sort of streak that we're building, and how close are we now to being back at all-time highs? >> i think the market came into the week winded. you know, there was a rally attempt in the morning there was not a lot of buying enthusiasm behind it up 4% in less than two weeks

replace or maybe also could be used as an option according to the lawmakers back then to e pluribus unumh is adopted in 17. louisiana senators voted in favor and then requiring public schools. now bill introduced in minnesota would require the school boards to post a durable poster framed copy of the motto in god we trust in every single school building. administrators could solicit to help pay for that as republican state senator dan homa chu sponsors at its most about american history as it is about religion. >> congress as recently as 2011 did a resolution reaffirming in god we trust is the official motto of the united states in supporting and encouraging the public display of the national motto in all public domain public schools and other government institutions. >> not everyone's happy about the possible requirement to minnesota. say it would violate the establishment clause of the first amendment. >> i think it would send a fairly strong and escapable signal to young people of a variety of different religious views and beliefs that their income in their beliefs and their beliefs,

relativism; god, not government; feint, not secularism; equality of opportunity, that it's e pluribus unum, not radical multiculturalism. our children are the least patriotic they have ever been. they have been taught to elevate feelings over facts. many have become unwilling to count nance opposing views to politically correct orthodoxy and have been given the audacity and false righteousness to shut these views down because they don't agree with them. they do not understand what it means to be an american, what being an american is. they are unable to identify the foundational principles of this country. they don't know what makes america special or different to every other country in the world. they don't know that american technology and innovation has transformed the world. but people are wealthier, healthier and safer because of america. they have no idea they live in the country with whose fortunes the world travels. i am on a mission to make sure that americans everywhere, but particularly the next generation of american leaders, know that the day that they are born in the united s

they said e pluribus unum.erent we would be but they knew we had to be one. and i take it as responsibility in choosing, prioritizing as to what is unifying for our country. and i hesitated to use impeachment. people wanted me to impeach president bush for going into iraq. and impeach president clinton. there is an investigation. if it takes its course, let it take its course. i do not think that impeachment is a policy agenda. what i would rather talk about, if people have unease, is an agenda we put forth to save our democracy before the reducing the role of money and politics, which changes the revolving door of lobbyists coming in and out of government, which has something that says to people, if you think that your voice is not heard as well as the voice of others, then we have to satisfy your concern and change the system. so let's focus on things like that, that i think are unified for the american people. impeachment is to me divisive. if the facts are there, the facts are there, then this would have to
