That. A big fan before this. You can be more a fan i guess im even more after fan now. You showed the world, and the world is watching and you showed what professionalism is all about. Charles here is bob massi and resident of las vegas. The world was watching and not only prayers and outpouring from everywhere, but the way las vegas handled itself against this unbelievable massacre is remarkable. I know it hit you hard emotionally. Where you are and where the city is. The city is obviously still mourning, but they are very strong and have much coming together. They are helping everybody every day. What the world has learned, and you know this because you visited our city. We are a community that gets up every day and goes to work. We are a community where kids go to school and play basketball. When you live here other than if people are visiting you, you frequently dont go to the casinos. Charles when i get there, you are in a car and cab. And you almost get a small town feel. Its not the bright lights, its the people that make those bright lights possible. Are they going to shine as brightly in the future as they have in the past . Thank you for what you said. Because you are right. I always say, we are the last frontier. Have much so. I think it will shine. Are we going to take a hit . Yes. Emotionally it should. You have this guy that massacred 59 people and you have to walk around shake your head. The reality of it when we started seeing the pictures of those who are gone this morning. It hits you in the gut. But i think the resiliency will continue. We have wonderful leaders in the state and on the strip. People week steve wynne will be a strong force for us as well as all leaders in our state. Charles the husband and wife have been the mayors forever. Steve wynne to your point is an american hero. And you saw President Trump today. Your assessment of what he brought. It felt like he was healerinchief. He was wonderful. Obviously he knows the town very well. Hes very good friends with mr. Wynne and mr. Alison. The fact that the president of the United States came here, took the time, went to the hospitals and visited the patients. It makes you feel like he is with you. I said this on some other shows and ill say it quickly. When things happen in other places, you mourn for what happened in orlando and 9 11. But when it hits your backyard, when you see people you know who were there and escaped this horrible situation it hits you differently because now, you know how vulnerable you are and you love the city even more because of what it became. Charles bob, stay with us. I want to bring in our panel. Elizabeth harrington a washington staff writer. Much was made about how important the strip was to President Trump. Different opinions on how he handled all the different disasters so early on his watch. High, high marks more Hurricane Harvey and irma. Mixed reactions to puerto rico. How do you feel his impact has been today in las vegas. I think president obama struck exactly the right tone that was needed. If he spoke about the unspeakable evil that focused more on the healing and the acts of heroism. And the Amazing Stories about this tragedy that we heard. Its interesting to me, others in the media this effect with trump that they cant even give him credit for giving good remarks and going. They have to say, he didnt write those words. They are attack him because he has a speech writer. But its unfortunate a lot of the media is trying to make it more divisive. Charles the girlfriend of the shooter who now has become a person of interest and arrived back to the United States. Her attorney spoke, and i want to share what he said with the audience and get some reaction from the panel. We are fully cooperating with the fbi and the Las Vegas Police department about these horrible unspeakable acts of violence. Its taken us this long to make a statement because its important we respect the investigative process. We want the fbi and the lches Police Department to have the first opportunity to talk to my client, everything she knew about stephen. That being said, i have a statement to read. Im devastated by the death and injuries that occurred. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families as all those who have been hurt by these awful events. I have faith in god, and i will continue to pray for everyone who has been harmed or hurt. I am a mother and a grandmother, and my heart breaks for all who have lost loved ones. I knew Stephen Paddock as a kind, caring, quiet man. I loved him and hoped for a quiet future together with him. He never said anything to me or took any action that i was aware of that i understood in any way to be warning that something horrible like this was going to happen. A little more than two weeks ago stephen told me he found a cheap ticket for me to go to the philippines and he wanted me to take a trip home to see my family. Like all filipinos abroad, i was excited to go home and see flame and friends. While there he wired me money which he said was for me to buy a house for me and my family. I was grateful but honestly i was worried that first the unexpected trip home, and then the money was a way of breaking up with me. It never occurred to me in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone. I have not made a statement before now because i have been cooperating with the authorities and i voluntarily flew back to america because i know the fbi and Las Vegas Police department wanted to talk to me, and i want to talk to them. I will cooperate fully with their investigation. Anything i can do to help ease suffering in any way i will do. Please respect my privacy and my familys privacy. Thank you. Charles that was the shooters girlfriends attorney. Back with the panel. Your thoughts on that statement. Because she is again a person of interest. This is a highly complicated operation, and it seems tough for many people to believe one man pulled it off by himself. She is a person of interest because she knew him best and probably saw him last. Those words in that statements dont sound like those of a coconspirator. She voluntarily came in. It seems like she has been cooperating. It looks like she didnt know what was happening and apparently stepped over there and was given some money as well. I dont hear anything in there that points to her guilt. Charles how important is it for full closure on this that they resolve any questions of whether there was a coconspirator. The role if any the girlfriend may have had. Outside of vegas people are clamoring for that kind of thing. In your town is it as important as the comment coming together . She is the only direct contact we know that would have information. Everybody as a lawyer makes a personal choice on this type of statement. I must say though im not a criminal defense lawyer, im surprised at the extent of the statement in reference to her position. I suspect that was discussed with the fbi before he came to the media. The reason i say that is the fact she obviously is disclaiming her position. I understand that. From the perspective of a community member, its important to hear that. But this investigation is still going on. And if anything would turn up differently, that could come back. Everybody has their personal way of doing it. Charles the part about finding a cheap ticket seems not to jibe with the fact hes a high roller. He had one of the highest ratings at one of the casinos in las vegas. People are going to to nitpick. You dont often see a 64yearold man who is also a multi millionaire go on this type of rampage. You have to have so many more questions for her. But he planned this over months. And she lived with him. Yes, thats plausible of course its all speculation. He bought her a surprise ticket and she may have had no idea. But the fact that so much planning went into this, he could have been planning it and waiting for her to leave the country, but thats such a sell fish act such a selfish act. Her life is going to forever be changed, too. We need more information. Its easy to think that all Money Managers are pretty much the same. But while some push High Commission investment products, Fisher Investments avoids them. Some advisers have hidden and layered fees. Fisher investments never does. And while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, Fisher Investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. Maybe thats why most of our clients come from other Money Managers. Fisher investments. Clearly better money management. Can i kick it . Yes you can can i kick it . Yes you can can i kick it . Yes you can well im gone i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke as far as i used to. Due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. But no matter where i ride, i go for my best. So if theres Something Better than warfarin, ill go for that too. Eliquis. Eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus had less major bleeding than warfarin. Eliquis had both. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Im still going for my best. And for eliquis. Ask your doctor about eliquis. So new touch screens. And biometrics. In 574 branches.

Charles fake news spreading like wildfire, this time targeting the las vegas massacre. This just days before leaders in a Congressional Intelligence Committee see you was concerned some of these social platform come any did not take this threat serious enough. I believe they are recognizing that threat now. Charles joining me to discuss, christopher bedford, and ford oconnell. Chris, let me start with you. Senator warren giving the benefits of the doubt to the social media platforms. In their first chance showing they are taking it seriously. They have fallen flat on their face. We saw Message Boards on the internet where people swapped theories. Sometimes they are correct and as we saw in las vegas, they are incorrect. The same thing happened after the boston marathon. Some of them started to show you have on google news. Its hard to hold them quite responsible for the algorithms that brought that up. Some of that is popularity sparked by bots. If they cant keep it off their feed, they will have to deal with democrats who want to regulate them and republicans who have no sympathy for them. Charles there is an absolute warning there will be attempts to compromise these elections. Ford fake news is a problem. Its wholly made up and the social media giants facebook and twitter function as Media Companies. A lot of people get their news from there. With the elections, im worried about this Going Forward whether its russia or anybody else. I would like to see when it actually comes to foreign interference i would like to see disclaimers on ads or stories when they are trending and being pushed up by foreign interests. Who is doing this domestically you are into First Amendment questions. And we know the candidates like to mislead people. Charles you mention the al gore rhythms. They have the ability to adjust the al gore rhythms. There has to be a better way to identify false and fake news or the attempt to sway elections. I dont think russia changed the outcome of november 2016. But there is no doubt they had some influence to a certain degree. If you were to read the hot page coming out of buzzfeed you would think humans lost control over al gore rhythms. The problem with senator warner, the amount much work its going to take to identify those correctly, not infringe upon First Amendment rights. Expose some of these things. A lot of people of on the left and some people on the right, they do want to infringe upon free speech. Fake news is something we have had to deal with since the dawn of this republic. It was major and it will continue to be major. We have to tread carefully. I dont have a lot of faith in congress to fix this, nor do i think the social Media Companies are living up to their credo. The reason why fake news is gaining so much popularity is because of how americans consume information. Right now its facebook, google and twitter. The question is as the Technology Changes how do we keep people informed without violating the First Amendment. Charles i would add to that, fox business with facebook and google. Republicans are trying to come up with spending compromises, but they are fighting each other to the point where it may fail. Well be right back. Think your Large Cap Equity Fund has exposure to Energy Infrastructure mlps . Think again. Its time to shake up your lineup. The alerian mlp etf can diversify your equity portfolio and add potential income. Bring amlp into the game. Before investing, consider the Funds Investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Read the prospectus carefully at alpsfunds. Com amlp Charles House republicans need to agree within their hone party on things like cuts, the ultimate goal. The stage is set for tax reform. But first we need a budget. Congressman, what the heck is going on . We cant even get to tax reform or cuts because the party cant even put together a budget. Whats going on . Its surprising to me. Last week everybody agreed yes well pass the budget as a way to get to these tax cuts. This one is a real budget. So there are a lot of disagreements like should we start to put a work requirement for some of the entitlements . How much are we going to spend on defense. There is also a second complication. They like to enable the tax execute bill and give themselves one more shot at healthcare repeal. The tax cut has to be their main focus. Its the number one priority mayor cans want to see them do that americans want to see them do and it will help spur growth in this economy. Charles there was the inability to get Obamacare Repeal done and it looked like lowhanging fruit. How is this going to impact the economy if it lingers like this . Main street and the corporate world still giving congress the benefit of the doubt. I think we are approaching 3 in growth. So its not about the economy. Its about the market. How will the market react if we dont get a tax cut and get some kind of reform. I think we dont get any kind of cuts at all. The president and the administration put forward. The market is in for a dip. Charles paul ryan was speaking and he talked about a fourth tax bracket. There is a discussion that we are look at having a fourth break the for highincome earners so they dont get a big rate drop so you can make sure the tax break really goes to middle income earners. Charles what the heck is he talking about . Tax relief goes to people paying taxes. Its a simple equation. If you are paying taxes and they cut them, whoever is paying gets a break. When did the Republican Party become the Democratic Party . If they give a fourth break the they are letting Chuck Schumer and nancy pelosi set the narrative. Sell this as a tax cut for all americans. Thats what it is. Dont try to pretend it wont be for people who actually pay the taxes in that upper bracket. They are the ones who will invest and create the new jobs and give us that economic growth. Hopefully he floated the trial balloon and it gets shot down right away. Charles paul ryan knows who creates the jobs in the economy. Wall street. You get a fourth bracket. Will they be happy with a check, something was accomplished . If we get tax cuts and tax reform it will be a huge win for the president and the administration and the economy, too. Charles even if you are paying higher taxes . I dont mind paying higher taxes. I make enough money its not going to kill me. People in high income brackets pay their fair share for sure. Its Middle America that needs the cuts. If they advocate for the middle class they will get more support. Charles theyshould push the notion that lower taxes improves the economy. Its not a theory. It works. Robert mueller is look into the history of president ial pardons. Well explain it next. Charles a federal judge accepting President Trumps pardon of sheriff joe arpaio. That President Trump may pardon members of his administration, they want to maybe find ways to block his ability to do that. Let me ask you about sheriff joe arpaio. He was part pardoned he felt to have the convict erased. That affects your life. Im not surprises it would be the route that sheriff would take. Charles idea that Robert Mueller hired serious heavyweights, and preparing to maybe preempt President Trumps attempts to pretemp the pardon folks. What does that tell you about the nature of this investigation, and how far off the rail it has gone. It has gone far off. The president has authority to pardon whoever he wants. You can go back to president after president , they have pardoned whoever they wanted to. They have authority. Charles in the aftermath of tragedy in las vegas, a lot of talk about legislatist effort to do something with socalled gun control, from what i understand there may be a bipartisan bill submitted by republicans tomorrow. I know that texas is a state where people love their guns, they appreciate second amendment, are you concerned that pendulum of Public Opinion could change. Absolutely, i dont think it will be in texas, but putting gun control in place for criminals, that seems like an effort not worth taking, the law abiding is the citizens of fall the law, they will be the one without the guns, not people like this, thi. There is no law that we could have put in place to prevent Something Like this in las vegas. Charles i agree. Thank you very much, really appreciate it. Thank you. Charles go to our panel, ford is back and john laurel. John, we start with you. Mueller looking into President Trumps ability to preemptively pardon folks, why is that critical to the over arching. There is nothing he could do to preempt the president s power to pardon, that is an Unlimited Power that is guaranteed under the constitution, this is a very partisan group of prosecutors, they are an attack trump squad, they cant limit his ability to pardon, trump may be looking at instances where the prosecutors could be acting unfairly and threatening witnesses. As president he can preempt that by pardoning them in advance. Charles attorney general paxton brought up fact that a lot of president s have used pardons, president obama, over two term, that was 212 pardons, bill clinton almost 400, so far, donald trump in 7 months, 1, the media outrages. Of course. They dont like donald trump. But, general paxson and john make a great point, legal scholars are unammous in their agreement that president s have near complete power to pardon, it may be uncharted waters, but how can they be hacked off by sheriff joe arpaio. I am not a huge fan of the Mueller Probe so far it is nothing more than political retribution on donald trump, not getting to the russia interference. Charles a lot of people concerned that mueller has a fascination with the members of the trsm family, that is an members of the trump family. They dont know why he has gone there. One thing, you know president clinton pardoned his own brother for drug charges. There and i think there is this extremism operating now in the prosecutors was on the, one thing mueller has done is align with a very partisan democratic attorney general in new york. Eric shieder man. A president ial pardon goes to federal crimes not state crimes, what mueller is trying to do is get around that, like a chess game. Charles who can reel mueller in . That is why trump pulled his hair out when the special prosecutor was a pointed. It is a prosecutor without limits, he reports to no one. Charles ford. He is right, mueller has brought on dreeben a person who is so good at looking at every angle, trying hide it in different ways to avoid a president rally pardon, this is a cat and mouse game, that is really sad. Charles thank you both very much, great stuff. Also great day another record day for wall street. Im telling you it is not about the stock market, its about the economy. The commentary is coming next. Im a concrete mason. I own my own company. I had some severe fatigue, some funny rashes. Finally, listening to my wife, went to a doctor. And i became diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma. That diagnosis was tough. I had to put my trust in somebody. When i first met steve, we recommended chemotherapy, and then we did high dose therapy and then autologous stem cell transplant. Unfortunately, he went on to have progressive disease. I thought that he would be a good candidate for immune therapy. Its an intravenous medicine that can affect the patients immune system and unleash it against the cancer. With chemotherapy, i felt rough, fatigue, nauseous. And with immune therapy weve had such a positive result. Im back to working hard. Ive honestly never felt this great. I believe the future of immunotherapy at ctca is very bright. The evolution of cancer care is here. Learn more at cancercenter. Com Appointments Available now.

But the market is the see bar to the real story. You know someone once aid saids the economy stupid. More Economic Data out that the wheels of commerce are moving, each day we get more evidence of a strengthening economy. Two items today, the report for pulse on service area of the economy had a headline reading of almost 60, that is above 55, which the street was looking for. It is the best read since august 2005, all key components are on the rise, be activity through the roof, new orders through the roof, employment improving. And an increase in. Am. That brings me on the adp employment report. It of a little bit below consensus. But it is on fire, the dirty fingernail jobs they continue to rock. Great news for the overall economy. There has been a 400 increase in goods produces jobs from last year, still 3 months left in the year, think about your Monthly Average last year of 7200, this year, 47,000 goods producing jobs. You have to deverified in your approach, the way you approach the market, break out as well as value ideas, wall street has been so flat footed, i am seeing buy ratings on stock that took off a long time ago. This morning instinet intishiated coverage of tes tes. Target 500, along with the way so many foams folks tell me y missed this market. This is something for you to consider, when you are considering selling, because have you a feeling that market frothy. Stand point research, lowered their rating on tesla to eye tol from a hold. You dont guess what the market has reached top, when the real story is improving fundamental found doing beneath the rally.

Secretary of state Rex Tillerson and trump teaming up to blast nbc news, ripping them for reporting detail between the two. The Vice President has never had to persuade me to be secretary of state, i am never leaving this post, while i am new to washington, i have learned some have tried to advance their own agenda by tearing other apart, in an, forn effort to undermine President Trumps own agenda. I do not and i will not operate that way. The headline of the story where you called president s moron. I am not dealing with petty stuff like that. This is what i dont understand about washington. Charles after that state Department Spokeswoman denied that tillerson called President Trump a moron. Back with us, roy murdoch and christopher bedford, we know tomorrow that till the main story will be that tillerson did not deny it. Ther to t story to your poina selflicking ice cream cone, they put out a narrative, if no one denies, they say it is true, that is not an ethical way to report. He came out, you saw tillerson, he came out, he knew donald trump was on a plane to las vegas, we know that donald trump watches television, he watches fax news, fox fox news, fox business, and you carried this, he may have been talking to an audience of one, it does lend credence, when i was watching to what he said, he said this is not true about mic mike pence, d not true about me wanting to resign, and refusing to acknowledge the moron come, it is possible he might have said that in a heated moment, who of us have not cursed off a friend in a heated moment. Charles President Trump did arrive and he was asked, he was short with his response. Im honored by his comments, it was fake news, it was a phony story, thank you very much, made up by nbc, they just made it up, thank you, all, thank you. Charles not first time that Mainstream Media made up a story and embellished it. Certain, the fake news, the hallucinogenic news, i think that tillersons statement of definitive, and trumps comment, he didnt say well see, when you hear well see that means pack your bags, Rex Tillerson has a lot Better Things to to with his seem, crises in north korea, spain and catalonia and venezuela, the secretary of state takes trechous time out of his precious time out of his day to address this nonsense. Charles one thing to acknowledge that rumors have been swirling that tillerson has been unhappy, i think today bob corker, might have made it worse, he was in a q a. And question was asked about when you say tillerson, mattis and kelly are separating this country from chaos, do you mean from the president s chaos, his answer o was, well just they wok very well together to make sure that policies we put forth in the world are sound and coherent, that is note going to help. Not for them, if presidencies, that i think more to cut through his i think he is worried, and speaking too can candidly than he would, this cuts to point that president is bent on a transformational foreign policy, something that shakes things up, and these guys are team players. They have been in world political stage. And they will make it so maybe not so dramatic, but it moving in the direction, for example, tillerson, everyone was freaking you on he was not filling up the rolls in state department, calling him absence, and different reads, later, that was intentional, tillerson thought that the state department of the bloated, and is a new round of panic, oh, my gosh he is not doing it. He did it in a measured way than a tweet would suggest. Charles outside observers see thathat that maybe they are t always on the same page, good to have advice for president , it should be given to him behind closeddoors that creates opens for media stories. Thank you. Thank you. Charles remember when conventional wisdom said that regime change was best way to deal with worldsty rants, this did not work with irk. Iraq. Could north korea get any worse .

Charles russia is reportedly giving north korean economic boost, in an effort to prevent reveal change. Saying that it would not solve the crisis, it must be done through diplomatic means, here to discuss herb london. And former cia analyst fred. Herb. Russia is helping because you know, if you think kim jongun is bad, wait until you see who is in the batters box. I dont believe that, i think that regime change might be necessary. There is no doubt we have to take seriously all of the changes that have occurred in north korea. Most important thing to do make sure that Nuclear Program of north koreans did you not gain more traction, the tests do not continue, that threats of United States and north america does not exist. Charles a lots of people believe that the tests are not just a message to outside world. But a message from kim jongun to his own people, i am mighty and powerful, no one in this country should think about taking me on. That is what people are saying, this nation reportedly has 60 nuclear weapons, this is an offensive Nuclear Program, china has put unstres unprecedes frommure on north korea. Pressure on north korea, in a are worried about it but putin is not, why not, putin at the end of the day is a thug with no moral scrupples. Charles is there any credence, to a country that has never known democracy, with Saddam Hussein it got worse, gadhafi it got worse. There might have been a time in the day, whether cia would get rid of someone it would be better. It seems to be somewhat ridiculous, i think that important thing, as fred pointed out there is a threat to the north american continent, anything that we can do to minimize that threat, to offset the north korean advantage, that is something we should be abliged to do. Military option still on the table for us . I think military options are, but there are a variety of diplomatic and economic sanctions that have not been fully explored. We must go down though avenues first. Charles thank you so much, you are spot on. You are the best whether it comes to this, an when it comeso tv lou is the best. Lou leaders of Senate Intelligence committees are coconspirators now in the russia witchhunt. They created. The result, not one irky o irkyf evidence. And produced by fbis more than year long investigation that preceded the senates grandstanding, in all, about 21 months of investigations, nothing to show for it. Period
