California Public Schools almost two decades after brown v. Board of education. Because your city council made that decision. It was local decision. Federal government must step in. That is why we have the Voting Rights act and the civil rights act. Charles i will go in depth in a moment with my own personal version of that. All that and so much more, this is a big making money. Charles folks, this is the moment weve been waiting for, president s trump and xi will finally meet facetoface to try to restart trade negotiations at the g20 summit. Edward lawrence is live in osaka with all the leadup. Edward . Reporter charles, that is a huge meeting coming up later on today here in osaka, japan. President met with six of nine World Leaders at the g20 he plans to meet with. Trade is huge issue, so far especially meeting prime ministers of japan and india. Specifically with the prime ministers of india the president said that he brought up trade, the massive tariffs that india puts on u. S. Imports there. He also said, talked to him about the Security Risk that huawei represents. Were going to have some very big things to announce, very big trade deals. Very big things with india in terms of trade, in terms of manufacturing, in terms of to address subjects nowadays, things having to do with like manor. The big show comes up in about eight hours when President Trump is expected to meet president xi xinping. Trade sources we need to keep expectations low for the meeting. The chinese say the meeting was under precondition, no tariffs, no additional tariffs be added on chinese imports. President trump pushing back on that personally. [shouting questions] [inaudible] reporter president saying no preconditions there. 6 00 p. M. Yesterday japan time. Head of chinese trade delegation, liu he, was seen going into the tame hotel where the trade delegation is staying. The two delegations were set to meet before the two president s get together. You wont put anymore tariffs on . No, i havent, good question, no. Reporter and the chinese will present, the chinese will present what they would like to see in a trade deal there. President she expected to say that the tariffs, all tariffs need to be rolled back before china is ready to agree to any other concessions. Also sanctions on huawei, they would like to see lifted, ideally within the next 90 days. The two sides seem pretty far apart. President trump will try to bridge the gap personally when he makes this meeting. Back to you. Charles edward, thank you very much. We have a good idea what the president s tactics will be in the meeting, but what about xi . We have two expert on china. Jonathan ward, coming collapse of author gordon chang. Jonathan, let me start with you, we heard a couple days ago about these demands xi was making ahead of this, now huawei becoming a pivotal component whether or not we get a deal. How important is that and what do you make of the idea that there are preconditions from the china side . Well i think the preconditions are things that we cant really give away. You had all of our National Intelligence chiefs testify, essentially say huawei is dangerous, its a link to the chinese state. You cant have it building american systems, you dont want it building the systems of our allies around the world but meanwhile it depends on u. S. Technology. Between the long term competition between the china and United States, you have running on american technology. When you have things on entities list, were cutting them off, slowing down momentum geopolitically. You have to slow down chinas geopolitical juggernaut. This is linked to the trade deal. They want to be back in action and they shouldnt do it. Charles gordon you told me on more than one occasion this would be a mistake. It is interesting the bravado that huawei will be a world class company, their media dominates. Just idea xi put that in there, maybe it is hurting them . Maybe its an acknowledgement, we need huawei to be successful. Certainly is an acknowledgement this has hurt huawei. Huawei has stopped the announcements of certain products like laptop and other things. But the important thing here, charles, essentially xi xinping is setting preconditions for a deal. He has been doing this publicly since the end of may. There has been a campaign saying this is what a deal must have for china to sign it. That is couple things. He doesnt want a deal because the conditions he wants as jonathan point out are unacceptable to us, or he thinks he can actually force President Trump to capitulate. I think he is certainly wrong on that. Essentially what were going to see then,. Charles right. Maybe an agreement for talks but no deal going forward. Charles i dont think anybody is expecting a deal but certainly a new glide path toward a deal, getting this whole thing back on track, if you will. But, would it be capitulation with respect to huawei since President Trump already said it is possible it could be part of an ultimate compromise or resolution . I think what it does, it shows the schism in american strategy between business and national security. What we had for a long time had strategy, business engaged, national security, make sure balance of power in pacific remains in our favor. That is breaking down. Charles 600 ceos, write letters, put out ads, control the media. Big business has a much bigger megaphone, if you will, than the security apparatus. It does but in the end you cant have big business at odds with the longterm interests in the United States. There is a reckoning that will happen. Charles when did that change . Listen, this is what is all about. If wasnt for big business looking for cheapest source of labor we wouldnt be in the situation in the first place. They will protect their interest. If it means embarrassing the president on the eve of meeting with xi. What came out from the Business Community has not helped president s negotiating leverage at all. No it hasnt. You had a letter of 661 trade associations and companies but it is important who wasnt on the list. There are really important players who didnt sign. I think that the important thing here, charles, you step back, is that companies in fact are disengaging from china. Theyre moving their factories out. There is apple announcement a few hours ago about the mack pro computer. Macpro computer. Charles i have to wrap this up. Ultimately will there be a trade deal . Not a meaningful one . Not for a very, very long time. Thank you both very much. Jonathan, gordon. President trump has been busy at the g20 making headlines ahead of the meeting with vladmir putin, telling him not to meddle in the 2020 elections. [reports shouting questions] [inaudible]. Charles what can we make of first facetoface since the release of the Mueller Report . Hudson Senior Institute fellow, rebecca heinrichs. A lot of people know President Trump for a long time. That is his way of needling the press but of course they have taken it. Now there is narrative being built around it. Right. They were needling him there. The media seems to be singularly focused on the fact that the russian government meddled in our election. They did that. President trump said they did that. The u. S. Government sanctioned the russian government on that. The reason theyre focused its a way to delegitimatize President Trumps election that is the only reason for it. President Trumps Administration has been tough on all other maligned things russians have been doing. Confiscating ukrainian ships and ukrainian sailors, which President Trump canceled last meeting over the specific issue. Arming ukrainians. Trying to deter russia because theyre modernizing the Nuclear Force. I just met with the director of the Defense Intelligence agency, the russians tested a Nuclear Weapon inconsistent with a zero yield standard. There is bigger fish to fry. President trump is focusing on those things and media brought up the issue. Charles what exactly does that mean, zero yield . Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty was a treaty the United States did not ratify, but has not signed. Other countries did that. It states you cannot test a Nuclear Weapon that creates a yield at all because weve agreed that is a dangerous thing. The russians now we believe have been doing that. So why are they doing that . They are doing that because they dont have a large economy on us. They have been focusing a lot of resources and money on the Nuclear Force because they cant compete with the United States on their conventional weapons that is concerning. That is priority for the United States government. The russians cheat on armies control treaties. The russians focus on Nuclear Weapons. This is something President Trump committed to working on with secretary pompeo. It is par more important than anything else. Charles jimmy carter chimed in, that trump would not have won with out russian interference. Many countries interfere with elections process, perhaps for decades. Russia will try something in the upcoming elections. To what degree if the administration is to blame they cant stop it . I think we should be incredibly vigilant now. We know that the russians have been audacious doing this. The Mueller Report did say russians interfered in our election. We know that from the intelligence community. That does not mean that the russians earned votes against hillary clinton. That seems to be the message that the democrats are hammering. There is no evidence that happened. I do think the oust government needs to be serious about monitoring it, calling it out whenever it happened, increase sanctions. Also having a cyber response. We do have to make sure we do everything that we can to make sure that the american elections, that is a family issue. That is not anything that we want foreign adversaries to meddle in. Chinese do it too. We have other maligned actors continue to try to affect it. Charles rebecca, always appreciate your expertise. Thank you very much. Thank you, charles. Charles joe biden licking his wounds today after getting pummeled from all sides at last nights debate. Will he soon be the frontrunner no more . Other big moments coming when the candidate were asked about Illegal Immigrants . Next Mike Huckabee on the liberal left and how much they have taken over the Democratic Party. At comcast, we didnt build the nations largest gigspeed network just to make businesses run faster. We built it to help them go beyond. Because beyond risk. Welcome to the neighborhood, guys. There is reward. Beyond work and life. Who else could he be . There is the moment. Beyond technology. There is human ingenuity. Every day, comcast business is helping businesses go beyond the expected, to do the extraordinary. Take your business beyond. Raise your hand if your government would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants. [cheers and applause] okay. Charles well that was a huge moment last night, showing just how far left the party has moved. All the candidates, even joe biden, we think, saying that their Health Care Plans would include inlegal immigrants. It gives fodder to the right and whole lot of workingclass people. Check out the cover of the New York Post asking, who wants to lose the election . Pretty interesting. President trump responding, all democrats just raised their hands for giving millions of illegals aliens Unlimited Health care. How about taking care of american citizens first . That is the end of that race. Former president ial candidate, fox news contributor, Mike Huckabee. Always great having you in studio. Thank you, charles. Charles that was an interesting moment. I will say this morning Kamala Harris went on some tv show said she misheard the question. Some are backing away from that. They went into a deep dive to a back stroke. Gold medal back stroke. I think the thing disturbing all Holding Hands up was the audience reaction. They were cheering it, yeah, we want Free Health Care for Illegal Immigrants. Think about it, if youre sitting at home, paying several hundred dollars a year for your family to have health insurance, some guy says i want to be president , you will pay for yours, these people get it free. How do i feel about that . Do i want to elect them . I dont think so. Charles it was a sea of contradictions. On one hand youre saying that our economy is so awful, people have to work two jobs. On the other hand that illegals are contributing so much theyre helping the economy. It is contradiction after contradiction after contradiction. The democrats are having a hard time. It is manufactured crisis on the border. No, its a real crisis on the border. They cant make up their minds. The economy stinks . No, it is doing great. They just dont have a clear picture. But the american people, at least ones with i. Q. Above plant life into the double digits and beyond, i think they know better. Charles passing the torch. Swalwell took a shot at joe biden on this. Of course referencing a time when, long time ago when joe biden bragged about the passing of the torch. What do you make of that . Well i think he had the torch just long enough to self emole late. Eric wall well lit himself on fire. If youre younger guy, trying to convince older voters, ready for prime time, you insult people of the age of voters you need to get, it was not a real smart move. Charles bernie sanders, im not sure, what you think of his night but he did have to admit his grand tax scheme is a real grand tax scheme. It is a wide net, a lot of people, for people that didnt see it, let me share it with the audience. Well let you talk bit. Will you raise taxes for the middle class in the Sanders Administration . People who have health care under medicare for all will have no premiums, no deductibles, no copayments, no outofpocket expenses. Yes. They will pay more in taxes but less in health care for what they get. Charles [laughter]. You will pay more and get more, how do you like that one. Take it out of this hand, put it in this hand. I mean charles what is in the middle, right . We know what is in the middle. You will pay more money. That is how it works. There is no such thing as free anything. Somebody has to pay for it. I wish younger people would understand. Not guys my age will pay. Im in the glide scope. Coming down the pike for too long, taking a dirt nap on the other side of earth, but these guys in their 20s, early 30s, who is this bill going to get passed to . I will give sanders credit for this one thing, at least showed more honesty than the other nine put together but the one thing that he is incapable of doing it appears, is being happy warrior. I didnt see any joy in the faces or lives of the people who are on that stage. Ultimately, what donald trump brings, whether you like what he says, he has a good time when he is up there. And if the choice is somebody who looks like theyre happy where theyre going, the other person looked like theyre sorry they have been, the guy that looks happy where he is going is the one who wins. Charles they always seem so angry. I have 30 seconds, i have to say, i saw beautiful tweet from your daughter as last day as press secretary . Your thoughts . As happy warrior she took a lot. She loves the job, loves the president , always will be loyal. I will tell you something, as a dad, let me speak as a dad. You have a daughter, you get this. He treated her with the greatest respect, the most wonderful courtesy and dignity. What more can one is for . I, i will always be grateful, not just for my daughters service but the manner in which the president treated my daughter. Charles pretty soon arkansas might be saying governor huckabee all over again. Could be, who knows. Thank you. Charles always an honor. Well the race is getting a lot of attention, race is getting a lot of attention with the democratic debate. Frontrunner joe biden front and center. Our panel will weigh in his on performance and then i will go a little bit more in depth. Cant see what it is yet. Re . What is that . Thats a blazer . Thats a chevy blazer . Aww, this is dope. This thing is beautiful. I love the lights. Oh man, its got a mean face on it. It looks like a piece of candy. Look at the interior. This is nice. This is my sexy mom car. I would feel like a cool dad. Its just really chic. I love this thing. Its gorgeous. I would pull up in this in a heartbeat. I want one of these. That is sharp. The allnew chevy blazer. Speaks for itself. I dont know who they got to design this but give them a cookie and a star. Is where people first gathered to form the stock exchangeee, which brought people together to invest in all the things that move us forward. Every day, invesco combines ideas with technology, data with inspiration, investors with solutions. Because the possibilities of life and investing are greater when we come together. It was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputation of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on segregation of race in this country. You also worked with them to oppose busing. And you know, there was a little girl in california, who was part of the second class to intoday great her Public Schools. She was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me. Im the guy that extended the Voting Rights act for 25 years. Ai greed everybody once, my time is up. Charles Kamala Harris a clear winner at last nights debate, taking frontrunner joe biden to task on his record on race. This was a year from now. It could have been a knockout punch. I will go in depth on the moment later. Bring in the panel, to discuss. Rashad, you always have thoughtful insights on things like this. What do you make of what happened last night and joe bidens response . The Vice President , joe biden blew it. His stance was to me totally ridiculous based on his comments initially and also his response on that debate stage. This was his debate to lose. He lost it. Now, senator harris, artful, crafty, she put him on the defensive. He did not have a thoughtful answer. It lacked compassion. What you see now is individuals, news media, outlets, going back into his past and looking at his voting record. The truth is busing was controversial not only for segregation its but also nor the black community. Segregation its didnt want busing for obvious reasons because they are racist but black folks did not want busing either, they felt you take away some of their best and brightest students out of the community. They wanted government to allocate resources properly to their communities and not bus children outside of it. So there is a context allization of the discussion joe biden completely missed. Charles he might have gone there. Someone could have brought up the crime bill. It could have gone on all night. Because he is on damage control right now. Just moments ago he defended himself. I assured Voting Rights, equal rights, are enforced everywhere. These rights are not up to the states to decide. They are federal governments duties to decide. Its a constitutional question, to protect the civil rights of every single american. Charles what was interesting, during the obama administration, one of the things they did, they went after states rights, under the guise there was too racist and the federal government had to step in. I think he is contradicting himself here. Joe biden didnt do himself any favors. He was very much on defense during the whole night. He knew he was on defense. If he has any chance of trying to run away with the nomination he has to go on offense. That means Kamala Harris outed herself as his prime target. She can go after him in terms of being prosecutor, being San Francisco district tone, California Attorney general into a positive. She prepped very well for this debate. If biden needs to go after her, hit on separation of families. Charles i became a defense attorney. Hint hint. Then prosecutor. He did mention that. But one thing he could go after her for, separation of families, imprisoning parents from habitually truant children, going after her office when she was California Attorney general for basically opposing a statewide mandate to not investigate Police Shootings of unarmed individuals. Charles rashad, these debates are designed to vet and, we know it will be a brutal process. I would suspect to sirajs point it might get more brutal along the way. Do you think any Movement Made with respect to potential voters . I think so. Joe biden lost a few point in that debate, he still got to be, still the front runner. I believe senator harris picked up a number of new interest, new interest people, even folks on radio show today calling charles, hey, im looking at senator harris as a viable candidate against President Trump. So she definitely did herself a lot of favors in this debate. Charles of course the republicans are sitting back taking notes. Kamala harris, according to many white house officials, i mean she is formidable candidate. There is no question that she has a very good chance to, if not, get the nomination charles new primary system, starts in california, early state now. Biden is currently leading in california. Black voters as a whole he has significant block, specifically in South Carolina. If he does really well in South Carolina charles tell you that right now. That is older black folks. Read essence magazine, last issue, read the root, all the young black media outlets, rashad, tell you younger black votes are not excited about him. You have radio listeners tell you that. It will be exciting. Im sorry . Theyre not riding with biden. Younger black folks are not feeling it. Older black folks vote in higher consistent number and they are feeling him. Charles thank you both very much, guys. Thank you. Thank you. Charles the biggest moment of last nights debate the moment that should have happened a long time ago. Yet more than likely it will fizzle like a roman candle capturing americas attention and fading quickly into the nighttime skyline. It is time for the Democratic Party to stop selling racism and pointing fingers and give solutions. Stop making nonwhite americans feel insecure and foment baseless resentment. Stop promoting the idea that white democrats are the good folks and white republicans are the bad folks. So im in my room doing my homework and progressive woman walks in, starts asking me about my homework. She looks down at the book im looking at. It was a bunch of president , what stands out to you . I wasnt sure what she was getting at. She pointed out they were all white men. Suggested that america hates black people. At time my father was in vietnam fighting for america. I resented her so much that day, i continue to resent that message, especially when the messenger is so flawed. Joe biden gave a speech in 1994 focusing on young men had not been socialized. He ended it by noting that they couldnt be socialized, some would become predators, would be beyond the pale and well, we would have no choice but to take them out of society. Now he has gotten away with saying republicans want to put blacks in chains. He suggested crimes against blacks, hispanics, lbgtq, that will all vanish when donald trump is out of office. Harris called him out. She shown him more respect than he has shown black people, especially young black men. Today everybody is woke but sadly wont last long. Twitter taking a swipe at President Trump saying they will Police Politicians from bullying. A report that the white house considering some capitalgains tax breaks. That should bo over well by the next democratic debate. Details are next. Delivery drones or the latest phones. 4. 95. No matter what you trade, at fidelity its just 4. 95 per online u. S. Equity trade. No matter what you trade, at fidelity on a scale of one to five . One to five . Its more like five million. Theres everything from happy to extremely happy. Theres also angry. Im really angry clive actually, really angry. Thank you. But what if your business could understand what your customers are feeling. And then do something about it. Turn problems into opportunities. Thanks drone. Customers into fanatics change the whole experience. Alright who wants to go again . I do i do i have a really good feeling about this. Charles white house reportedly developing a plan to cut taxes by adjusting Capital Gains to inflation. Bloomberg says the proposal would be done in a way that bypasses congress, takes effect before President Donald Trump faces reelection in 2020. Hillary vaughn at the white house to explain exactly how the tax break would work for investors. Hillary . Reporter charles, the president hinted he wanted to do this for quite a while. The Vice President s chief of staff, mark short telling me does think Capital Gains should be indexed but says that conversations to push this through are really in the infant stages right now. He has not talked to the president directly bit. But reportedly white house officials are on a tight timeline because they want to push this through before the 2020 election. So that the impact and benefits of this hit before the president faces reelection in november. So, indexing Capital Gains would slash tax bills for investor when they sell stock and real estate, adjusting purchase price, no taxes on appreciation tied to inflation. Critics of the idea say it mostly benefit the 1 and it could push investors to sell. Part of the plan reported by bloomberg, that the white house would try to push this through executive order but there are concerns that could face some legal challenges down the road. The reason why that is considered the best way to get this done is because the white house is expecting pushback from capitol hill, especially from democrats in the house already been critical of tax cuts that tend to favor the 1 . So this this would not be something they would like. Take you down memory lane in 1992, congressman Chuck Schumer was on the house floor actually advocating for capital games to be indexed to inflation. He spoke at the time in favor of it, saying it would push forward Economic Growth. The house voted on that as part of the tax package to be taken up in the senate, sent to the president s desk. Joining Chuck Schumer voting for this amendment that had Capital Gains indexing was nancy pelosi. Well have to see if they have a change of heart now. Certainly couple decades ago they didnt have a problem with it. Charles . Charles wow, what do you know . Thank you very much. Revamping capitalgains taxes bypassing congress with an executive order would obviously face legal challenges but trumps Economic Advisor larry kudlow is proponent of the policy. He says it would pure job creation and Economic Growth. Want to bring in Edwards Jones investment strategist neil richardson. And shah balani. It must sound somewhat appealing. Netnet would it have positive impact on all of society . Too soon to tell but what we know, it set as precedent of tieing a tax benefit to inflation, which hasnt been done before. When you think about a tax policy issue it is really about incentives. While more investment is a great incentive we have to understand whether this particular policy leads to more investment first of all and how much does it cost second of all. Until we answer both of those questions we really cant ascertain the value of it. Charles shah, i think it was 1969. Maybe 10 people who hadnt paid taxes. An article was written. Soon we had amtt wasnt indexed for inflation. Two decades later, hundred of thousands, millions of americans are paying onerous tax. The idea of indexing a tax to inflation seems to be smart in a lot of ways . I never met a tax cut i didnt like. This one may be the exception in the timing of it. I dont think it is time for the president to pull this out now. Not certainly do it by executive order. I think that will give some fodder to the democrats, to go after the president , as being tied to the 1 . I dont think timing is good. Im not so sure it is such a great idea anyway. I would like tax cuts pretty much across the board, however this one seems to be a bridge too far for me. Charles all right. Lets shift to the recordbreaking month for the markets. S p 500 on track for the best june since 1955. The dow, its best june since 1938. We have mixed messages today, but very important Economic Data out. Consumer sentiment was better than anticipated. Only Thing Holding it back was talk of tariffs. Ironically hurt top 1 3 household incomes. Income was up. Spending was up. Savings rate 6. 1 . That seems like perfect. That is what you want. Incomes up, people to spend it, not all of it, save it. Chicago pmi manufacturing number went to contraction. The big National Numbers on monday. I believe if we see that happen again, that is enough for the fed to start thinking about 50 basis point cut. What do you think . Charles, that is exactly right. All Economic Data is now through the lens whether or not the fed will cut rates in terms of markets. Charles right. Consumers are 70 of the economy. Manufacturing is 20 of the economy. When i have a bet to make, i bet on the consumer. Weve seen Consumer Spending hold. We see a very tight labor market. Were seeing steady wage gains. Those conditions are in place for consumers to keep spending, keep supporting economic expapping shun. That is good support for equities. Charles shah . I dont think there is a reason for a cut of 25 basis points. Certainly not a 50 basis point cut. Consumers are doing very well. Spending is under control. The only thing were afraid of is fear itself, oneoff pmi number from the chicago pmi might be indicative of economy going down. I dont believe it. I dont see it. Consumers are in good condition, great shape. Spending as we touched on under control and confidence is still high i dont see any need for cut. Charles i have less than a minute, i have to ask both of you, headline of truce on monday of the meeting between xi and trump and negotiations back on track what does it mean for the market. Traders can go on vacation to sleep well at the beach. This is not a one and done. Whatever happens over the weekend expect more to come because this is a complex deal. The markets have to anticipate longevity in these negotiations. Charles shah, why youre already at the beach . Im not anticipating a stand still between the two leaders. I dont think anybody will happen in terms of the market. Barring some sabrerattling, some negative commentary the market will stay the course, stay sideways until we get clarity what might happen in terms of a final negotiation. Charles you guys are fantastic. Thank you both very much. Appreciate it. Thank you. Charles the fed giving democrats plenty of fodder after giving banks the green light for billions and billions, and billions and billions of dollars worth of stock buybacks. Well dive into that issue next. Every day, invesco combines ideas with technology, data with inspiration, investors with solutions. Because the possibilities of life and investing are greater when we come together. Charles bank stocks, believe it or not the biggest winners today. Theyre gaining. Some making big moves recently, up yesterday. Goldman sachs, ally bank, are saying theyre planning to cut tax rates ahead of the Federal Reserve, the nations largest banks last night, rewarded, announced they will reward shareholders with 173 billion in new buybacks. I want to bring in how do i tax thee author, kristin tate. After the financial crisis, audience remembers, the federal government set up the stress tests, socalled stress tests. I think they are a joke. Once the bank pass as stress test they are allowed to give money to shareholders, through buybacks and dividends. Almost 200 billion announced. It is terrible environment to do that. What does that tell you about the whole thing . Are you okay with this . First of all ally and goldman are convinced that Federal Reserve will lower Interest Rates. They have taken unusual step lowering rates proactively, they are great for stock market and investments but this says that they see an economic slowdown. The current economic up swing has been going on so long, charles, maybe it is time for a breather and a Small Economic slowdown. The fed may be concerned about all the trade tension going on right now. Ahead of 2020 trump really needs to keep Economic Growth going. So you know, the potential lowering of Interest Rates would be a great thing for him as long as we dont have a recession for pull blown trade war. Ed good news these gangs are buying back stock. Their stocks are undervalued and they see a rise in earnings value. This is good thing. Charles weve seen companies bought back their stocks at the wrong time, right . Gamestop started buying shares back at 56 a share. Theyre five now. Ibm wasted 10 of billions of dollars on buybacks instead of refiguring the company. Instead of buying red hat 10 billion more than they had to. Some people are saying it is not because they think there is an opportunity but its a backdoor way of Rewarding Company officers and, the investment class. Of course with the officers, if they get rewarded in stock. The very first speech joe biden gave on this campaign he mentioned stock buybacks. Sure. Sometimes the timing is off but these banks probably would not be buying back their stock so aggressively if they saw a recession coming. So this kind of indicates that even if there is an economic slowdown coming it probably will be pretty mild. Charles you talked about the longevity of this economy. Next month, youre right, we break the modern day record i think in 18 30s, the only time it was longer than this. This is something no american alive as been through this economic expansion. How does the president articulate this to the American Public . This is so critical for donald trump to keep hammering away at in 2020. You have the great economy yet these 20 democrats who we have seen and heard from over the last two nights are talking about socialism. You know while were experiencing this hot economy, you know, charles, i dont see how any working class person could get excited about these democrats trying to basically outsanta claus each other with promises of Free Health Care, free college, reparations because they know that we need tax increases to pay for all of this. Charles we certainly do. We would need probably tax increases are impossible considering how much has been promised. Kristin, thank you very, very much. Always appreciate that. Of course now, you know, looking at President Trumps twitter page, some things may change about this because twitter says they will flag what they call abusive tweets from World Leaders. Who the heck could they be talking about, what kind of flag are they talking about . Next. Charles all right. Twitter announcing it roll out a warning label to politically offensive tweets by Major Political figures that violate the social media rules platform. The rules would target tweets that they deem a matter of public interest. We think its a clear strike, at least i think its a clear strike for President Trump. Meanwhile, im not the only one. Donald trump jr. Tweeting if they can do it to the leader of the free world, imagine what they are doing to you and your voice. The question is how can twitter really enforce this policy . Joining me to discuss, our very own susan li. You know, listen, twit ter, the take it from all sides but a lot of it they invite themselves. Listen, like a lot of these other platforms, they got so large, its all liberals who work there, and its kind of out of control right now. Thats what President Trump said when he was on fox business this week, right. He says its all democrats and they are limiting his twitter reach. In fact, there was one rogue twitter employee who actually temporarily shut down his twitter account so basically, twitters saying in the future because of all this criticism of politicians, that they say they get a free pass in terms of bullying and threats that are made on twitter, but you know, twitters excuse is look, this might be in the interest of the public so its hard, you dont want to censor it but you also dont want this type of behavior on the platform as well. In the future they will do something called flagging. If they see something that violates the platforms rules, they will basically kind of like adult content right now, its all blurred out, it says sensitive matter and you have to click in, basically you accept the rule before you see what the tweet says. Charles i really want to meet the people, the committee that gets to determine this. Thats what i would love to see.
