weiss, dr. weiss, was somewhere in this area. walked out and approached senator long as he passed by to go in here. now a verbal altercation of some sort took place as huey and weiss exchanged maybe heated words, arguments, who knows what. shots rang out. huey long was shot. as we know, there's still remnants, still a bullet hole mark here. this is marble. you can see the hole. senator kind of stumbled. it was one gut shot, i would call it. one shot to the abdomen area. he was weakened and he started. at that time his bodyguard, another bodyguard, who was -- i call him colonel. he was from my hometown. was his personal bodyguard. had come up because he had gone to move the car. the senator was leaving the house chamber, going to check in here. maybe return some phone calls and then they were leaving. he turned the corner, rushed up here. he, according to the information i was given, did not fire a shot because he caught the senator as he collapsed. carried him down the stairs. put him in the back seat of a black sedan. i remember

i'm rabbi eric weiss and honored to be your host. faith communities across the country pay a lot of attention to the goings on of the particular community itself and the world. we would like to invite you into a wonderful conversation with steve gelman, the publisher and editor of, jay, the jewish news of northern california. welcome. >> thank you. >> let's jump into. let's talk in, what is jay, the jewish news of northern california? >> many people don't know we exist. many people who donate to the local jewish federation will get jay newspaper in the mailbox and not know why. that is because they get it as part of their donation. people ask, what is a jewish newspaper? we look at ourselves as a way to understand the world through a jewish lens. but that is not an uncritical lens or a uniform view. it is a way to give a sense of identity. and belonging to the approximately 400,000 jewish people that live in the san francisco bay area. we have the third or fourth largest jewish community in america depending on whose numbers you are

up again today and steve weiss is buying it and joins us right now steve weiss, are you on the phone? >> i am, scott from sunny denver. >> why did this stock finally pique your interest? >> well, as you know, we were short the stocks, puts, i covered those. to me, and i'm not a believer in this company long-term, and i still think it's relatively overvalued however, what i would say is, it reminds me of twitter and facebook facebook ultimately, of course, the company that it is but, twitter had these fits and starts from people that were bottom fishers, that wanted to get involved so i think it's a trade. and i've caught about half the move i bought it yesterday, up 13%. i would like to see the stock trade up to about 18, maybe 20 i won't be there for that period of time. but, in a market where performance is tough to get, this provides, i think, pretty good opportunity with minimal downside at this level ultimately, i want to be short it again, but right now, i'm happy to be long it. so it's purely a trade but the market report was a good report that came out >> about the facebook te

even though they moved, he said, yeah, but they're still opportunistic, because of the growth that weiss suggested is ahead. and their multiples are not outrageous >> and no disrespect to howard marks or jeffrey gundlach or anyone else, lee cooperman, who have offered an opinion on the markets. but these are the most relevant comments i have heard about the market i think one of the things that's really fascinating if you think back to the monday before the election, it's pretty obvious he wasn't a fan of the president. there is nothing in the commentary right now about the administration that's why he's legendary. because he's able to remove himself from a narrative or a predetermined bias and look at the world as it is earnings, the things we talk about on thedesk, earnings, global growth, and a market that over the last week sold off, came back quickly, and is giving the paerappearance right now, s, go back into those fang names once again >> i wouldn't use the word that he's a raging bull on the stock market by any stretch of the imagination, but he is pretty bullish on what the glob

resolve this way, but why bother playing this game where you think this is going to be the one >> weiss, i go back to what david tepper told me yesterday about tech, specifically, quote, the multiples are still low. they just look cheaper than any other part of the market, even though they've moved meaning, he's talking broadly, obviously, but you can put the stocks that josh just mentioned and technology f.a.n.g.s or at least some of them into that area >> and it's important to understand that dave's not just looking at today, and now, he's also looking out two years and three years, and the phenomenal growth rates that you have in alphabet, for example, 26% topline. >> in other words -- >> where else are you going to get that level of growth, with multiples that are still in the low teens. >> and you're not in a stretch, nasdaq either. and then you've got to look where cash always finds a level, right? is cash going to find that level in credit, with a 220 ten-year, gundlach says go 220, 230. you're not making money there. and i would say your risk is much greater there than it is in

with us for the hour, joe terranova, steve weiss, josh brown, and john spellengani. joe, i've got to turn to you first. in terms of what we're seeing, we're seeing the energy sector, the worst-performing sector in albeit a quiet session ahead of labor day. what do you make of it are we trading too soon on this in terms of the damage >> i think the importance is that the colonial pipeline will be okay. and given where we are right now at noon on monday, it looks like that is the case i think it's also important to understand that this is a very bearish event for crude oil, which is already in a bear trend. the department of energy is actively selling millions of barrels of oil out of the spr. in fact, 14 million, i believe, by the end of august so very bearish for crude oil. the refiners themselves have been in a downtrend. it's very clear that production will be down for a while there i'll reiterate what i said, though, last week. i think this is an opportunity over the next couple of weeks that if you've got yourself in the refiners, that you'd want to use any stren

he once commented, when you brian: how does stephen weiss fit into all of this?ate: he is the most knowledgeable person about the civil war charleston area you will ever meet. he and larry roland wrote a three volume history of beaufort. which is fascinating and has everything you could ever want to know about the area in it, but steve was a great resource, he and larry read the manuscript, gave insights, feedback, pointed me to the right people to talk to. incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. brian: whatever happened to the planter? the ship? cate: unfortunately in the 1870's, she ended up sinking long after smalls had said goodbye to her. after the war, when steamers weren't needed as much, the union actually put her up for auction. and interestingly enough, ferguson, who was the original owner, wanted the planter back. he was determined to have it. i think it was symbolic to him in some way. brian: and he was a southerner. cate: he was a southerner. he tried to get it back the first time the boat went up for auction, but the government figured out

weiss, what recommendations would you have for gsa to help move this project forward in a meaningful manner? >> senator, thank you. i think in the case of this project, all of the options need to be examined closely and analyzed. what are the risks and how long will it take? what are the costs and benefits of one -- one site over -- or one site over another or one method over another in terms of financing the project. i think that's something the committee also needs to look at very closely as the options are presented for moving forward. it's a complicated arrangement and clearly, the swap exchange was a difficult maneuver with a situation where many pieces had to fall into place and it is a complicated mosaic and effort and it didn't work out and now it needs to look at what might be feasible going forward and also the very real security needs that my colleague has brought up here, as well, really has to factor in which is a serious problem on the current facility especially on the north side. >> exactly. well, i thank you very much. i think this is going to be a very complicated i
