I know we stayed up late watching him amid the front page of the near post by the way beat the press embattled bonds tirade against the media. That is the major post takes you will dig into that. Straight ahead. President trump is heading to nevada today where we will dress speaking at a raucous Campaign Style rally in phoenix last night. His first since the violence in charlottesville, virginia. Fiercely defended his response to the episode, slamming the media for by my count about half an hour while signaling out both of the states senators and alluding to a parting for jericho both Maricopa County sheriff joe or pio. Truly dishonest people in the media and faith people make up stories, have no sources in many cases. They dont report the facts. Just like they dont want to report that i spoke out forcefully against hatred, bigotry and violence and strongly condemned india not to use, supremacists and the. They all said mr. President , your speech was so good last night. Please, please, mr. President , and dont mention any names. So i wont. One vote away. I will not mention any names. Everybody wants me to talk about your other senator, whos weak on borders, weak on crime. So i wont talk about him. Nobody wants me to talk about him. Nobody knows who he is. Either way im curious, do the people in this room will make a prediction. I think hes going to be just fine, okay . But i wont do it tonight because i dont want to cause any controversy. Is that okay . Dagen the president also threatened to shut down the government if necessary over funding for the wall along the u. S. Mexico border. Your take on that speech last night because brett bair was reporting that at least two officials said they had wished President Trump had let the afghanistan speech stand for a day or two. This is one of the issues the white house is having, which is how you are able to take one message for example, the afghanistan message and play that out for several days in the media cycle and move on to Something Else. I have to say the charlottesville issue needed to be addressed again. Was the rally the right setting . Maybe, maybe not. Maybe this is something or the east room or the white house itself for ukrainian individuals , black pastors come evangelical leaders, diverse religious leaders to come in and talk about what i find difficult concepts to talk about. This is President Trump when its the wrong the, going to the people in fake blood, i put out to strong statement condemning video not these, basically talking about charlottesville in the media trying to call me a racist and tried to i didnt do enough. This is the president pushing back on the media. The way he does it when he personally connect with his base, with the people that support him. In that rally, which not much was mentioned. Ill be decaying, they are talking about the need to unify this country, to show this nation. Dagen but that is the issue if you listen to Vice President mike pence opening statement, when we are united, there is nothing we cant accomplish together. And President Trumps tone didnt do anything to unite the country and quite frankly, he did with the way he handled charlottesville. He didnt alienate some people who voted for him. Even in Trump Country down south because ive talked to these very people who voted for him here in new york city and he didnt alienate them in that speech didnt do anything to basically soothe their concerns. It kind of was a little bit of revision history and the fact you read statements that excluded the many sides comment, which is what amplified the major response to media, which was but that may be overblown you could argue that. So then you feel slighted again. You left out the part where people were very upset. He needs to unite the country but of course also he needs to unite the Republican Party because that is one of the major reasons we seen a delay in so much legislation next acted. So right on that he was going to the base cannot get past and its got to get passed by republican majorities we have in congress or russert might not have majorities in 2018. Hes got to be a legit with the strategist, administration and figure out how can we hold their feet to the fire. We want this legislation passed to unite the party and attacking senators jeff flake and john mccain even if not by name, maybe not the best idea. Slake openly criticized the president on mccain situation. He was the one about on expected he would vote against the repeal. Dagen i have excoriated Mitch Mcconnell and the republican obstructionist who got in the way of at least doing something about obamacare. However, at some point the blame game has to stop. But in the media all you want, but the media is not responsible for content in the nation, not responsible for cut taxes and growing jobs in growing wages in dealing with afghanistan. 24 7 a lot of these other issues. I agree. Stop giving a flying flip what people think who already hate you. Thats what i dont understand. I thought after afghanistan when it is something to unite the country. Whatever you want to say about the speech last night, that rally didnt bring the country together. I dont think we need to unify the republican base. Hes the president president of the entire United States of america. He needs to say or do or act in a way that will unify everybody. Last night, however you want to put it, i dont think bowa said. Dagen i want to move on to this because have incredible coverage. To that point, there is nothing he could say or do that would get rid of the heat that you hear on the far left who never wanted them elected. You saw that erupted in violence. Police in riot gear deployed tear gas, rubber bullets dispersing crowds of protesters screaming out of the arena. Our jeff flock was there to witness the chaotic scene. Heres just some of what jeff caught. Somebody just set off fireworks. We talked earlier about people who came to this with an agenda. Maybe you can see over there. Be very careful, jeff. Back up. We are okay. Theres something about to go off. Ill be careful. Train to be at seeing jeff flock in hurricanes come in a General Motors wind tunnel, but that is topnotch journalism. That is a media at work for the viewers and the American People. And theres a scary reality right now. These are the same types of groups that go on college campuses, stop conservative speakers from being able to talk. I think it becomes very challenging at this moment. Going to my point, the fact that the president can talk about healing the nation all he wants, but there is a sense from these groups that they will make sure why they shouldnt be covered 100 , the reality is they are out there making their views known tenets of ireland approach to do it. Dagen the approaches he is violent when most nonviolent, which is the most liberal than the cf ever heard. Its exactly right. You said this we can always be passing of blame to the president or this or that group. We have to start at home and social media. To be able to disagree well and not resort to saying im perfect, my abuser 100 right and you are evil to the other side. It doesnt work and even charlottesville could happen if people dont say we need to disagree well in this country. Dont empower french groups. That is what is happening right now. Dagen you heard absolutely right. On the left the liberals will gladly sit back and say which is they hate is hate, violence is violence, stalin versus hitler is not a choice. They certainly dont believe in the First Amendment because they are trying to shut down the speech they dont agree with.

People said they way overpaid, trying to keep up with the amazon. Dagen we had to jot down when he started it. I dont know how you make any money. Walmart is going to come on you dont have to.

How does diabetes affect your heart . It doesnt, does it . Actually, it does. Type 2 diabetes can make you twice as likely to die from a cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or stroke. And with Heart Disease, your risk is even higher. You didnt know that. No. Yeah. But, wait, theres good news for adults who have type 2 diabetes and Heart Disease. Jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill with a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit. Jardiance is proven to both significantly reduce the chance of dying from a cardiovascular event in adults who have type 2 diabetes and Heart Disease and lower your a1c. Jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. This may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. Ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. Stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction.

When they thought they should westart saving for retirement. Le then we asked some older people when they actually did start saving. This gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us arent prepared for retirement. Just start as early as you can. Its going to pay off in the future. If we all start saving a little more today, well all be better prepared tomorrow. Prudential. Bring your challenges. Treaty to take a look at oil prices this morning. Under pressure on oversupply concerns. American Petroleum Institute reporting gasoline were sharply last week. Joining us now is david sure. We are looking for Oil Inventory numbers today the Energy Information administration and the top story today in the wall street journal is that chevron is looking for a new ceo. This is emblematic of lower prices in this new era. When i look at who chevron looks to top after he moves on, the extreme experience in the refining site there. What weve seen is very wide margins. Very good to be an oil refinery in this crude oil price environment. When you have a commodity, it goes into your unit and historical lows then looks to stay very low for a long amount of time and the end product is attract in 20, 25 to 30 margins at this point. Certainly you can move chevron, similar to what weve seen to indicate the industry pushing not only towards natural gas, but towards the refining sector of the markets. Stephen, it is mike murphy. When oil rallied from down around 40 back to where it is now, seems like a lot of the u. S. Equities come in the Energy Stocks have rallied his match. I was wondering if you could speak on why a lot of the Energy Stocks in the u. S. Are at or near lows, get oil at a 20 rally. We also have to kind of examining why the market rallied. We came into this summer with record demand for crude oil. It has never been stronger in that crude oil still cannot make a break above 50 a barrel. At this point which you had at the beginning of the summer as everyone was blaming on one side of the ship. Now through the summer, through record demand we had a nice contrarian path in prices. The concern as far as equities go towards the end of the year a seasonality. The Labor Day Holiday is to be holiday is to be can delay. That means the holiday driving season is over. After that we will go into the fall maintenance season where refineries will be buying fewer barrels, between 700,000 to 1. 2 million barrels. But the significant amount of demand out of the market and production is high, the market is so hedged, production will keep on heading to the market while demand starts to fall through the fall indeed weighing on prices in the shares of oil equities. True to stephen, come closer works that the Oil Information service last week. Tom said we will never see 100 a barrel oil again in my lifetime. Do you agree with that given image technology, given all of the new Oil Companies producing and the excess production here in the United States . Absolutely. Like the d. C. 70, 80 oil. We were at the gui over dx moment where demand is stagnant, but supplied because the technology and product dvd is going to continue to bring more oil to the market. When you look at the impact of the hybrid and so forth, it is certainly not your grandfathers oil market at this point. So yes, absolutely. This goes back to opec two and a half years ago when everyone thought opec was trying to destroy north american production. At this point, what opec did two and half years ago, think of the north american industry because they talked to industry how did squeeze out greater productivity, greater margin, making money in a low oil price environment. The oil prices between 45 to 55 range. Make in any significant to the upside because for the First Time Ever we have substitutes. The hybrids and so forth. The genie is out of the bottle. One hundred dollars a barrel. I agree with tom and i dont think well ever see 80 at anytime in my future. Dagen stephen, thank you so much good when you put the squeeze on americans, we set out, collect ourselves and say well show you what weve got. Thank you, stephen. Coming up, and economy in focus.

We are building our future with american hands, american labor, american iron, aluminum and steel, we want to lift our people from welfare to work, from dependents to independents and from poverty to prosperity. Dagen joining us this morning a Small Business owner trump voter bob, bob, as a Small Business owner, what did you hear last night from the president s message that means that means something to you and your business . Well, i get the fact that he wants to help Small Business owners and business in general do better, but it seems like hes in Campaign Mode to me as opposed to getting things done and i think thats hurting us a lot. I think he really needs to take some of the easy victories that he said he was going to be able to grab and get them moving and get tax reform going and Health Care Reform. Those are the things i would rather see him working which now seems to me campaigning. Dagen i predict that youre going to get a lot of hate on twitter for saying that even as a trump supporter. Yeah. Dagen i want to raise this with you, that is the issue that if youre a conservative, even if youre a trump supporter and if you take issue with anything or critical that the president does, his most ardent supporters rain down hate on you as much hate as you might get from liberals. Yeah, i think theres definitely the vision in the Republican Party right now with that and i think the people hes forgetting about as he keeps Digging Deeper into his base are people like myself. I voted for him because i didnt want to vote for hillary, number one, i thought he was going to be probusiness number two, which i think he will try to do and thats where his victories are going to be coming from but i think theres a division in the party right now and if he doesnt keep people like myself, i think hes going to have a problem and Going Forward and the best thing he could be doing as opposed to be working with base which he has already got is get things done and get big accomplishments and get reelected if thats on his mind still. The rules and regulations changes are definitely a good start. I think those things being released relaxed will help the Banking Industry which will loosen them up a little bit which loosens banking. He has a couple of things if he works hard at, i think he can get them done and he would look pretty good and keep the people like myself who are more business oriented and keep his base which, i think, he wants to keep, but he doesnt want to lose like the people like myself. Bob, hi, this is Mercedes Schlapp, do you think washington is capable of passing tax reform. We saw debacle with Health Care Reform. Do you think congress is capable of passing legislation . I do. I think it would be an easier win for them. General consensus that our tax code is a mess. We pay the highest taxes more so than anybody in the world, i believe. Half of my income goes to taxes right now and i think if i had it in my pocket i could go out with it and right now, i cant. My biggest and single expense is taxes and i dont think thats a good thing for the country. Bob, Kristin Haglund here, about a week in response to charlottesville, multiple ceos that left Donald Trumps council, i know those are much Larger Companies but what was the trickle down from those ceos leaving and the pressure that businesses face from being associated with President Trump and his message . Do you think that there are going to be more and more people like you who are maybe trying to distant themselves like you or staying on board and really trying to support the president as he tries to push for tax reform. I dont know that theres fallout from the very large corporate ceos to somebody like myself who runs local businesses for the most part. I think Going Forward, i think, people like myself want to see the president win, it did hurt a little bit when you see heads of chief industry leaving right before they got going. I think they need to put that behind him. If he can do positive things he can get business right back into his corner, i think most of us want him to win, hope that he can win and if he can get the right policies in place will win but its going to take some work and change his style in my opinion to get things done as opposed to all of these side bars that he seems to be working with. Bob, its mike murphy, i agree with the points youre making almost across the board. I also support the president , i also run a business and i want him to succeed, i want the u. S. To succeed but i feel like my biggest concern is that the president seems to be fighting on too many fronts, that he needs to go after people and bring them behind him as the leader of our country and that means as you know as a Business Owner a negotiation, a lot of times is giving in, its not getting everything you want, giving in on certain points to bring people behind you, i was wonder if you could speak to that, thats really what we need from the president right now is to have people fall in line behind him as a leader. Totally agree. I think hes got a lot of personal issues that he seems to be taking out in public which i always thought stuff like that should be done in private, you praise in public and scold privately and he has so many things going on and fighting so many battles. If he would concentrate on some of the main issues and follow through and work hard on those, i think the country would be a lot better off. I think hes going in way too many directions that i dont think beneficial to anybody. Dagen theres obviously a story about relationship Mitch Mcconnell, Senate Majority leader and donald trump deteriorating, they havent spoken to in weeks, mcconnell privately talking about whether he thinks the president will be able to salvage his administration after some crazies this summer, however, it does feel like and look like those Republican Leaders because they dont now they are trying to blame President Trump for everything rather than actually pushing through an agenda that would help all americans. They dont have they cant govern and they dont have to govern if they can figure out a way to blame the president , i fault them, i called out Mitch Mcconnell relentlessly about not getting obamacare repealed and replaced done and the very senators who voted against it. I somewhat agree with that, but i think the president has made it a little more difficult than he needs to by calling some of these people out in public whether it would be sessions, whether itd be tillerson, all of these people that have come to work for him, hell got to get him behind him and he has to do more work in that area, in my opinion. If you remember tip oneil and Ronald Reagan got along, they had issues but at the end of the day, they came together to get things done for the country. Right now we have a republican and republican that are fighting. That should be fixable, that should be something that shouldnt be a problem when you have a republican senate, republican house, republican supreme court, they shouldnt be fighting amongst themselves, they should be able to get as good speedway you will every get to launch good things and they seem to be squandering. I dont think the blame is all senate or mcconnell or all trump but its definitely not going in the right direction right now. Dagen in the meantime, we are sitting back going, give us our tax reform, give us our jobs, give us our wage growth, give us less regulation, where is that . [laughter] totally agree with you. I mean, thats what we thought was going to happen, we are seven months in and they are squabbling amongst themselves when a good tax reform would do a lot for the country, a lot. Dagen amen. Again, tell it like it is. Coming up christmas in august, Southwest Airlines launching a huge new fair sale today. Wait until you hear how low they can go and folks are saying that espn might be suffering from politically correct overload, the network pulling an Asian American reporter from covering a University Virginia Football Game because his name is robert lee.

Dagen futures are pointing to a lower open, the blue chips were up almost 200 points yesterday and we are looking at a few stocks on the move. Whole foods, one name to watch, shareholders set to vote today on amazons bid to acquire the company. Amazon agreeing to buy the grocery chain for nearly 14 billion back in june. Shares of whole foods are up nearly 35 in the last year. We are also watching hp, the Technology Company set to report its most recent Quarterly Results after the bell today. Fourtytwo cents a share, shares of hp gaining more than 25 just this year. Lg Electronics Building a new u. S. Plant that says it will create about 300 jobs. Cheryl casone, has more on that. Cheryl hey, lg spending 25 million to build a factory for electric car parts in detroit, lg said the new plant is going to create battery packed for electric cars and expand into other key components later on. Mitch began plant First Factory in the United States, the Company Based in south korea already has production facilities in five Different Countries including china, vietnam and brazil, now they are here. Well, sweet deal from Southwest Airlines, the company launching a mass i have threeday sale, so flights starting for as little 40 each way, dozens of routes are available for 50 bucks or less, a lot of options for cheap flights to and from busy hubs that southwest serves, atlanta, chicago, baltimore, fort lauderdale, denver, you have to book by november, i would book them like this second, also, theres this, if you never purchased a powerball ticket, today may be your day, the jackpot now 700 million, the powerball has not been hit since early june which has made the second largest jackpot in u.

Eastern time. Obviously im going to win and not be at work tomorrow. Plus, as a result of violence in charlottesville, virginia espn pulled one of broadcasters on assignment from Football Game in virginia and William Mary College because the broadcasters name is robert lee, same name as the confederate, no resemblance. Those are your headlines. Dagen thank you, cheryl. Mercedes, i need to lay down because this gives me a headache. This makes my brain work that this is so stupid that they would do this. The mere fact that this has become a story by pulling an Asian American who was trying to do his job from covering university of virginia sports, i think, its just what are they thinking over there . They need to dagen there is a business angle. Dagen espn owned by disney, espn in part is struggling because viewers other than them cutting off the cord and cutting cable, they are sick of the politics that they hear on espn. They tune in for sports and this is identity politics, this is political correctness, it is everything quite frankly thats wrong with that company and this country. Mike espn was built around sports center, Sports Program with highlights, now it became a political arena for a lot of the announcers there and people were sick of it and people are leaving there, but i think bob iger who runs disney should look at Something Like this and although its kind of an isolated incident its not what espn was built on, its not what the brand should be about and this is just a terrible decision in my opinion. I actually this story was so just unbelievable, when i first read it, i thought it was fake news. I thought it was the oinon, i thought somebody had made it up and i read the espn statement, its appalling that they would that they would even think that people would be offended by an Asian American reporter calling a Football Game because his name was robert lee. These kinds of actions, extreme action which exacerbate the frustration and the other side goes feels hopeless that anybody can come together and have a serious conversation because its ridiculous that it keeps the bridgebuilding from happening. Dagen i will get rid of this headache, coming up. The blockbuster trade, irving leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers and heading to boston. The reaction from his team and the league next. Hey.

The last time was 250,000dollar bet so this would raise the stakes half a million between wahlberg and diddy. Dagen ufc fighter, john jones was fighting daniel and theres a report that he tested positive for performanceenhancing victory over that but i know mike murphy, do you have something that you want to get off your chest. Jared dana white say they are not stripping the title from jones from this which doesnt seem to make sense, he tested positive, therefore dagen this is not the first occasion. Jared its the second time and could face double the suspension. Dagen big victory of john jones and hes had a lot of issues. [laughter] mike i hope Mark Wahlberg is getting the odds at diddy.

Kristin haglund is here and mike murphy and Fox News Contributor Mercedes Schlapp and look who it is, its lee carter here this morning. Im sorry i missed on monday but shes back. What is she going to be talking about . Top story this hour, President Trump holding Campaign Rally last night in phoenix, arizona, did americans like his message, lee is here, she is with maslansky partners, shes president of that firm, lets take a look at how americans responded to the president s message of unity last night. Lets start by watching this. Its time for all of us to remember that we are all in the same team, we are all americans and we all believe right now in America First. Dagen tell us what those dials are. You can see the red line with republicans, off the charts, they really liked what he had to say, independentants flat line and democrats as well. Now, that to me is the big story, independents for the last two years have been tracking, thats not happening right now. We are seeing a softening of support. Ive also heard from folks saying democrats are giving a c, usually they give him an f. I have to say, it was a very difficult night for the president because even when hes talking about a message thats this positive, he said, its time for us we are naul the same team, how can you disagree with that . So i think what we are seeing right now is theres a vacuum of leadership and people are afraid of set unclear on where we are going, is anything going to get done, we are looking at racism, bigotry, hate, resist and theyre not feeling that things are Getting Better and speech last night didnt necessarily help people feel reassured because he spent so much time bashing the press and i think it was a really challenging time. Normally the fake news narrative works for the most part in the past with republicans specially and independent antidepressants, we are democrats we are not surprised that they just gave him such a bad grade. But interesting enough, lee, where can the president improve . Obviously it feels to me that the nation is still trying to grapple with what happened with the tragedy in charlottesville and that theyre thinking that the president needs to to basically aspirational and offer solutions and try to find healing. Where do you think the president should go next . Look, our instincts when we are under attack are usually wrong. We want to be defensive, hes out there probably saying im not antisemite, i do not support bigotry of any kind and hes getting frustrated, fake news, going after people, how many times do i have to say it, i tell you how many times he has to say it, he has to say it until america feels reassured that this is not representative of the country and he has to rise above the fray right now and be true to unity. Dagen we did we heard a lot of the same language certainly last night that you heard during the campaign, campaign trail, President Trump speaking about draining the swamp, watch this. The same failed voices in washington who oppose our movement are the same people who gave us one terrible trade deal after another, who gave us one Foreign Policy disaster after another, who sacrificed our sovereignty, our wealth and our jobs, we dont need advice from the washington, d. C. Swamp. [laughter] dagen thats off the charts for the base but does that resinate with Everyday Americans . Lee the base absolutely loves the message. This is a campaign message, though, now this is the president s government. He has to lead congress, he has to lead the swamp, so right now people say, if youre going to put him down, are you going to get tax reform done, are you going to get health care done, these are the people you need to get all of this done, so by insulting them are you going to help move things forward. It worked in campaign and is it working in practice . Weve had one deadline after another being missed and people are starting to be frustrated. Dagen president obama got a lot done when first in office and i was critical in him for campaigning for the job that he already had, he loved base, so he would go out and make campaignstyle speeches and the president to some extent doing the same thing, hes campaigning for the job that he already has. Lee thats right. I will say this about the president and i have been apologist for him and i try to understand whats going on, he has to try to take his message out. When you look at Mainstream Media you see one side of the story. Dagen take it out to the people like this . Lee that said, what he needs to be taking out to the people right now is the job hes going to do for the American People, he got elected because of what he was going to do for the economy, what was going to happen with jobs, tax reform, health care, things arent going to be in dc like the way they used to be. We are in august, looking at september and things havent gotten done. Remember, this is an expectations game. The reality Congress Moves very slowly and it takes a while. When you look at reagan tax bill, it took over a year to get this done. So i think its also setting expectation game that Congress Moves slowly. Dagen they had him in front of Congress Talking about tax bill three weeks after he got shot and signed that summer, the original tax cuts and that was with speed and movement that was incredible, but lee, because the president was talking about illegal immigration last night so i want to watch this. We are cracking down on the sanctuary cities that shield criminal aliens, finally. [cheers and applause] and we are building a wall on the southern border which is absolutely necessary. [cheers and applause] dagen building the wall was a message the president used during the campaign, how important is it still to americans . Its not on top of peoples minds anymore. I have to say the base wants to wall, the immigration issue is a very important issue but right now what we have seen over the last two weeks its a country thats extremely divided and i think the message saying that we want to build walls is not one thats resinating because people want to see us coming together, we dont want hate anymore, we dont want all of this and i think you can see that really clearly in the lines and frankly when i looked at it last night, i was shocked to see much in a week the difference in how independent antidepressants are reacting to the president in just one week is unbelievable to me. Dagen of course, the president , i think, by my count he spent half an hour. I came to washington for you, your dreams are my dreams, your hopes are my hopes and your future is what im fighting for each and every day. Its so important. Dagen the president loves attacking the media. I understand it. I listen to all the networks, certainly not the first time, are americans growing tired of this . Yes, they are growing very tired of this. Dagen you will get called hugo chavez ontwitter. Lee people are like, did you sell the panel, no, people right now dont want to hear attacking of the media, they want to hear unity, they want to hear him rise above it right now and when he went, this particular message, i came here for you, this is not about the president right now. This is about the American People, we want to come together, we want optimism and we want hope. So many people misunderstood the president s message in the beginning, they said that he was a fare munger, that is not why he was elected in office, he gave people for a better america and better country, he gave people hope that washington was going to work for them and not against them and what theyre seeing right now, its not changing, they dont want him to blame the media, they dont want him to blame the swamp, this is his problem, they want to see him fix it and rise above it and make things happen. This speech last night did not do the work that a lot of the speeches have up until now. His afghanistan speech, by the way, much, much better last night, did not do a lot. Dagen i might have delayed the rally in phoenix and let that afghanistan speech sit with the American People. Ive never seen be so deflated. [laughter] its a frustration around it. It is an extreme frustration because this is not uncommon, once youre on your heels, when youre in a crisis, its not easy to get out of it because you wanting to, look, im not that bad. Dagen the New York Times article portrayed me in a way that doesnt fair. Its not the time. Mike i agree with his message but the way hes delivering the message just doesnt work for me really and i think it doesnt work for the majority of americans, but someone within the Administration Needs to get that point across to him and have him deliver the message in a different way, i think, so it could resinate with more people. Charlottesville its a very difficult situation and theres a place to talk about that not in a rally setting but in something more r more white house where you bring people together and not trying to make defense out in the rally. Its probably reflected in the polling and response to this, people are tired of others being dehumanized, whether its doing that with the media, those are people, reporters, people standing on the other side of the cameras, whether its the swamp or people who work in washington or whether its the left or right, everybody is humanizing or objectifying the other person so you can say youre evil and im perfect. Nobody wants that anymore, we want leadership that rise above that. Dagen i want to point that, Ronald Reagan, he got shot, gave an address to the nation, three weeks after he got shot and that was the tax cut was sign intoed law in august of his first year in office. He had been he had been in office for about six and a half months, maybe, six months when he got that signed. You want to talk about unity, those are the old days. Job from a her talked about how they had great relationship. Dagen house ways and means, lee, good to see you, dont be deflated. We want you to come in and tell it like it is.

Dagen futures are edging lower this morning following President Trumps event in phoenix last night. You know what, im not making the connection between President Trumps speech and the futures. Im not that making that connection. We had a great rally yesterday, the dow was up almost 200 points. It was up 196 but the commander in chief did rally supporters as he pushes forward with his agenda including tax reform. We are committed to passing the first major tax reform in over 30 years. We have one to have highest business tax rates anywhere in the world, pushing jobs and wealth out of our country. That is why we are going to lower the tax on American Business to bring back those companies, bring them back to america. Dagen lets bring in chief market strategists and senior managing director tony, tax reform, how much does it have any chance of getting done this year and how much of the market is trading on whether that will or will not happen . I think zero of the market is trading on that because you hear dagen, a lot of valuations are high and the market is reflecting fiscal policy. You have according to thompson,i had them run a study for me, if you get 2017 event it would increase earnings, 9. 7 and in addition 9. 4 for next year. Theres real valuation change and multiple turn activity and for the viewers that means that people will pay more for the market because you will have better growth. Good economic backdrop and the possibility of tax reform which has us at 2800 next for for s p target. Dagen mike. Mike i agree with you, tony, to clarify the market is being supported by fundamentals and earnings and any sort of tax cut would be a boost and added bonus to the market . Totally. I mean, i love how we try to attribute things to politics in the market and it isnt the fact, the market is up basically about how much earnings are up this year. Terrific earning story. Dagen you will grant, though, the market rally that started after President Trumps election and went on into the year until maybe we got into the second quarter, that was on the agenda, was it not . It was. Dagen optimism on the progrowth agenda and the reason that the market continued to move higher is it was handed off basically to the fundamentals of the companies and their earnings. After the market rally following the trump election, the republican election, ive been clear in our opinion that its not about President Trump, clearly hes not getting any of major tax reform and Health Care Agenda passed. Lets put that on the side, i really believe, if you look at optimism index, it has stayed high since election, why cant Small Business stay high when you havent had tax reform, its because youre not going get worse, the animal spirits to date is youre not going to have increased regulation and increased taxes, so companies and businesses and households are all more optimistic because its not going to get worse. Can you imagine what it would look like if it gets better and thats our actual view. We think as you go forward into next year, unless you want speaker pelosi, you will have to put forward something that actually you can point to and say, weve got this legislative. Dagen people who get angry any time they hear criticism of the president , we consistently talk about the progrowth agenda, about the market strength that you saw strength yesterday, the best gain on the dow since april, we talk about an economy thats growing, we talk about unemployment following, we talk about job gains, we talk about all the good stuff, the confidence being higher. Go ahead. Mike i wanted to add also if you want to give the president some credit here, i think the roll back of regulation has really helped thats a big deal. Mike, super big deal. Regulations are not going to get worse, some of the executive actions, im not going to say that President Trump has had no impact on the market, i think the prospect for lower taxes and Major Health Care reform is no longer being discounted like it was right after the election, but to your point, you know, in the Financial Services industry i would love even more regulations to be lowered because its onerous as you know. The numbers are not being discounted. We had 2 and a half percent growth cycle not having to do with politics but because you had terrible environment in the globe. One is on the european debt crisis that was going to drag us and the next on chinese slowdown that was going to drag commodities, neither one has happened, you want to buy stocks as long as you have credit availability. Dagen double thumbs up. Tony, great to see you, always a pleasure. Coming up, President Trump weighing in on curving north koreas missile program.

Audi will cover your first months lease payment on select models during the summer of audi sales event. Welcome back and Dagen Mcdowell. Its wednesday august 23. Your top stories at 7 30 a. M. Eastern. President trump recharging returned to his base. Rallying supporters in arizona last night. It was not without controversy as protesters clashed with police and swarmed the area. The president is touching on everything from the agenda to the recent tensions with north korea. And you see was going whats going on in north korea. All the sudden who knows but i can tell you what i said thats not strong enough. The futures are showing is some slight losses. In europe it has been mixed trading. We have losses across the board. Trading in hong kong was canceled. More than 150 people have to be rescued from raging flood water. They are taking a look at the automakers plans. Get the tickets before it becomes history. And why the National Park service is planning a 700 increase for lifetime passes. President trump weighed in on the progress yesterday. I respected the fact that they respect that very much. And maybe probably not but maybe something positive can come about. I am pleased to see that that regime has certainly demonstrated some level of restraint that we have not seen in the past. This coming as north korea reportedly released a propaganda video photo shopping President Trump overlooking the cemetery. Joining us now is the retainer retired were chief. Good morning. Its great to see you guys. In the team. I dont know if he necessarily respects what were doing. Especially when you see a photoshop that you mentioned before coming out of President Trump looking over guam. I think this is a continuous and tenuous situation. Is a pretty good knife there in north korea. We will see what happens. I think restraint is probably the better word in terms of the action that we are taking. If we even sought before the two missile launches out of north korea. We saw the Treasury Department start to impose those. It was a small move but a significant one. As we see more of that do you think that is the path to really putting pressure on china and subsequently north korea to pull back on the Nuclear Threats . We talked about the national implements of power. Of course you have the military. That is absolutely the first resort. The ramp up with pressures with china. Its a little bit of a different tune. Of kind of impeachment. And i think we have to continue down this path of heavy diplomatic efforts because the military option does not favor anybody at this time. Two of those collisions resulted in sailors dying from the crash or they are still missing. Certainly it seems like it highlights the fact that our budget has been strained beyond what we can handle at this point. First off my thoughts and prayers and condolences go out to those Navy Families they sent their loved ones out to serve the country they did it voluntarily and we have to keep them foremost in mind. They are responsible for everything that does happen. I think in this case there was a pretty good discussion about this case. There is probably the right thing to do is some change. We talked about it we have army forces at the lowest levels. I think after the investigation people are coming out jumpy to one side. We have to do a full investigation but i think what youre to find out as it was probably some training deficiency involved here and some command oversight in some respect. And the navy is now smaller than any point in our modern history with more retirements i have. The wall street journal was writing about this yesterday into longer and more frequent deployments. The plan to deploy additional troops. Do you think immediate action is required here is your take on this strategy. It has chairman of the joint chief of staff. I think that is absolutely the key point. From canada trump to President Trump. It has definitely been a change of thought on this. And what kind of shows me as he is listening exactly to the point. And even general kelly in some respect. These are commanders who bet on the ground and understand the situation. I had been to afghanistan. Ive been there are numerous numerous tours not only from a trained aspect also from the tribal aspect. Nations have went in trying to build them up into this type of things. And they had run into problems. The afghan is one had to want it more than us. They are really looking to provide for their families. The strong man who can help them with economic success is usually hit was going to win. An extremely challenging situation. Im sure a lot of analysis went into it. The president mentioned in afghanistan speech on the fact that we are not in the business of nationbuilding. Is at the right message. A couple of other things there. Afghanistan we know what happened pre 911. In the uncontrolled lawlessness of that area. The killing of terrorists and targeting of those groups in networks has been going on. It will continue to influence what we have talked to before. In demonstrate success. Thank you for wayne and on that topic. Coming up heavy flooding hitting kansas city. They pound the region.

In an effort to illustrate how much added sugar joining us now is dr. Mike. What is the daily recommended allowance or intake that children and adults should have. See mac what they found is the best amount that kids should get in this is not just sugars this is added sugars. My added sugar is those that really spiked the blood sugar. They wanted to be no more than 25 grams per day which means about 6 teaspoons per day. Kids are getting two to three times that right now. And things need to change. Other than just weight gain. The number one thing everything goes up. Obesity, Heart Disease. In and all of this is later in life. But when kids start early all of the processes start for me now. All of those plaques that we talk about when you have a heart attack or stroke they dont start for me when youre 40 they start in your teens and early years. If we make a change now that will pay so much in dividends towards the future there are companies that are making an effort. They are trying to play up Healthy Eating on their menus. Its rolling out cups for found cups. Is this a trend thats can continue. I think it takes it a step further than just putting the calorie counts on the site dash images and solids that they sell. I am a fan of education. If you can educate the consumers and parents they will make better decisions. There are a lot of parents that dont know what is in foods. Its not enough to just know the numbers. The doctors need to step in and educate im a very busy mom. And you have your picky eater. There cannot go can i go with the cocoa pebbles how to get these icky eaters and the parents encouraged to feed their kids healthier options. It is a staple of many households. It can be low in protein high in sugar. And so these are dr. Mikes selections. My kids if they would put this on leave them and put them with healthy choices. When theyre hungry they eat. This a very picky eaters in my house. Ive to dr. Mikes rate here. We had 11 children between the two of you. Watching calories and sugar is very important. In this day of phones and people tend to sit on the couch and play with their phones. Even more so than the diet. Its extremely important. I dont have children but ive a lot of that. I do a lot of work with women and men who struggle eating disorders. Healthy fats are great. How do doctors like yourself also try to educate them. She can have a little bit of sugar but you only eat one cookie instead of ten so that people dont get foods of moral value. If to make your 100 right. Or eating their emotions. That is something that happens with us. Educate people to be aware that that might happen. If you talk about added sugars which the serials really dont have here. It is basically like a drug. They dont rush to get a second helping. They have to be once in a while and moderation. These types of foods should be a staple. If you give a kid and apple they dont taste them anymore. Because of have how much added sugars there are. Now in 2017 and 2018 we will start seeing added sugars in a part of the nutrition. It was great to see you. Thank you so much. I will eat the entire bag its i will eat the entire bag its all under fire. Ere that story ahead. So let me ask you this. How does diabetes affect your heart . It doesnt, does it . Actually, it does. Type 2 diabetes can make you twice as likely to die from a cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or stroke. And with Heart Disease, your risk is even higher. You didnt know that. No. Yeah. But, wait, theres good news for adults who have type 2 diabetes and Heart Disease. Jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill with a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit.

We are building a wall over the southern border which is absolutely necessary. Build thatwall we are going to have ourwall going to will get our wall. Somebody set off fireworks.

And from winter is coming to turkey how all this is celebrating finale of game of thrones, so much for political analyst, mike if you are fee Fox News Contributor mercedes, and quickly mike the store about uber Mutual Fund Companies had to mark down investments in uber by as much as 15 why is that i think a big story, because if uber was a Public Company with all the problems theyve had with the ceo and with lawsuits, would it be done a down more than 15 i think a lot of unicornsbilliondollar private companies watching this possibly delaying going public. Very, very good point. That turns into a wall street story as well, investment banks, and to top story this hour, President Trump, heading to reno, nevada today, where he will address the American Legion after a Campaign Style rally in phoenix last night, the president threatened to shut down the government, over funding for the border wall watch this. We are building a wall over the southern border which is absolutely necessary. The obstructionist democrats would like us not to it does believe me we have to close down our government, were building that wall. Mercedes, one of the issues that i saw last night when you get once you watch the entire i think 700 minute rally get up rely on media look at twitter dont get a sense of entire rally. Called out media, and he kind of rehashed a lot of what he said on campaign trail but there was he talked about a lot of issues, that do not including immigration. He did media with all attacks on media, they are going to respond and they are going to fight back so you had reporting that president stop attacks against media media taking it personally, dagen, they really feel that this attack on the media is unfair. To the president s point the fact the president is frustrated with treating of the media, the fact that there is this ongoing battle, with many of these Mainstream Media reporters you have to ask yourself to what end where is this going to end up i mean you are finding a media very you been popular with American People lack of trust with media out lets the mere fact President Trump it is his moment, to not only talk about legislative agenda but deal with this very up unfortunate issue tragedy issue dealing with race he relations what happened in charlottesville. Relitigated the issue of charlottesville when it could have he could have said nothing, at least at that rally and moved on focused on every other part of his agenda whether it is how we as nation are handline north korea, that is what was a depressed speech i think on afghanistan on monday. I think the speech should have been more about unity not about us versus them it should have been they used the word unity a lot Vice President mike pence opened with that President Trump actually used that word when speaking. I think the message had a lot of positive points but i think the way the message was delivered, definitely will alienate a lot of people people that are not Trump Supporters you can say they ever going to be Trump Supporters but only have one president so the he should be he is the leader of all people, of of all sides of all races colors, so he is to lead all those people to speak to all those people, in my opinion. Interesting to watch polls out of that looked at that earlier in the show, and you are right it says independent that you have to watch and they were had flat lined good morning with a democrats had been following republican messaging leading up to this independents youve got to refocus on, i think needs to be consistent right he had a good afghanistan speech you mentioned dagen earlier this week, but weve got to have more of those in a row before people believe words of love affection he have a has used appropriately but has to be more consistent in president ial performances. We earlier had on the Small Business owner, voters. Supporter, and he said, i want the president to succeed i want the president to lead on these issues there are people want this president upon successful. And i think the key for the president is finding those opportunities, to deal with his legislative agenda, but not only in a rally but more intimate settings whether Small Business owners in case of charlottesville basically meeting with religious leaders there is so much opportunity here, and the rally is one, but still skounounds like campan rally has to say we are governing more. More and more President Trump called out senator john mccain not by name in the rally more and more i think republicans they dont want to help the president ultimately that means, that they are using his his language as cover for not pushing through his agenda other that means they are not working for dagen the republicans will lose, they are in this together they are in this ship they have to decide whether going to sink or actually make sure that they are able to success, if they do not as if tax reform in the fall going into the winter, i am telling you major losses in the hurst you see jeff flake very tight race very problematic if congress is not able to accomplish tax reform and the president being leader of this making sure this happens. Dagen the end of the night police in riot gear deployed tear gas smoke canisters rubber buggets to disappears crowd mix rallygoers streaming out of arena incredible coverage from our very own jeff flock i do understand where President Trump has been coming from. That he is condemning the violence on both sides i have said that hate is hate. Violence is violence. And that there should not be there is no choice it is not stalin versus hitler not right. Dagen this is antifa leftist groups very organized preach violence in the name of nonviolence absurd and frightening, it should be called out time and again. Fringe elements have no place in america they have no place in our democracy they pretty violent tactics on side of White Supremacists preto end they are for america to call out kem the nazi groups White Supremacists as well as the fact you have at left not even left quite frankly there is no place for individuals that is where so much focus has been. Here is one of the issues, because i have been fwhkdz this since charlottesville i was i called out, the president on his to say what you see what individuals were who are torches white supremacist who killed heather what you get on left is pressure to not only talk their talk about but walk their walk. And they are never going to be satisfied until they destroy anybody who doesnt share their views. And buy what they are selling hook line and sink i think there is a huge problem in this country they are trying to left is trying to shut down free speech trying to shut down speech of anybody who does not agree with them and i i get the sense that that is what the president is pushing back against. Absolutely, but i think that you starting where i think conservatives were much more classic issue liberals said i will die for our your right to say what you want to say even if i disagree with you no i everyone seems ininflicted with identity politics that is not just the oh i identify with this group but political views become my identity, so when you disagree with me not just like bantering ideas backandforth you are disagreeing with the concept of who i am and my foundational identity weve got to get over that realize that our political views do not define us they are opinions we all want the country to do great we just disagree how to get there. I have been old an oom, and by people on right far right and far left, so i feel like anymore a sweet spot if i am getting from both sides. I think there is a much bigger middle ground you are going to have fringe on the right fringe on the left that is never going to go away but i think we all need to come together more in the middle because as americans we have so much more in common, than we have differences right now we are focusing on all differences if we could start to focus on common goals that we want to achieve it would be much better off. Weve got to get centrist people people in the middle to actually vote when you see violence on both sides they feel i cant do they did vote voted is for President Trump we heard from bob fleisher a quote from Small Business owner a trump who is a trump supporter he said the president doesnt want to lose people like me, i helped him get elected as well. That was a very telling comment. I absolutely do believe that, and i think part of it is seeing this frustration of obamacare will is not happening in congress, now were seeing we are going to see how tax reform plays out, now, Speaker Paul Ryan basically said, look we are in a better place republicans are there is hope this the left talking about tax reform Steve Mnuchin traveling to kentucky made the story about mnuchins wife and her Instagram Account just appalling that somehow becomes story a prime Time Partnership how google wall mart are teaming to up take amazon the highest paid celebrities, there is one star shines brighter than mr.

Turkey is coming arbys tooking up a special meal for the game of thrones finale. Top story this half hour espn under fire, after the violence in charlottesville, virginia. Espn decided to pull an Asian American announcer from covering a Football Game between university of virginia and william and mary why so supd that we have to explain it this sportscasters name is robert Lee Confederate general on your right is general robert e. Lee, so did espn think that people would confuse a more than day Asian American sportscaster with confederate general . Here is the statement that espn put out, we collectively made the decision with robert to switch games simply because of the coincidence of his name a shame even a topic of conversation and we regret that who calls playbyplay for a Football Game has become an issue. Joining us now Fox News Contributor radio host, Kevin Jackson, kevin but espn made it the issue did they not making the switch could have said in anybody raised the issue, eh this is so not a big deal this goes ahead but they didnt do that. Yeah, espn has become a political hotbed, what used to be meritocracy sports concerned people just you know did played sport did a great job doing it and that is why we watch it because we love watching people compete. Is now suddenly become a social engineering experiment and not only on the field with people like kaepernick host of other stories is that have come out around social engineering but even in a situation like this where they have preemptively afraid give a trigger warning to audience om my goodness a guy closed named robert e. Lee without the ehow i reallied can it be america is so sick of they did not have to do this but the fact they felt that they had to do this is disturbing. Mike. Kevin mike murphy i agree with your point completely so much, the scary thing they actually thought that someone was going to tune away from the game or not watch this game because of who the person announcing the game was. I think that really speaks to a problem within espn they are trying to fight for viewers they think may be viewers will be turned off by the fact that a gentleman happens to have same name as one from 100 plus years ago. I think worse than that though robert honestly what it shows is that you know, if no longer just the concept of this in sports this is type of thing that permeates all of business, these are types of things that Corporate Leaders are having are being forced to lack at, case we now have a snow flake society that wants to look at these things, through the light through this prisism of political correctness. This is probably one of the most ridiculous things no sports irron yoi an asian man not even a white man, has a whole other layer of complexity to this particular question. This is where does this stop though . Kevin that is what i i dont understand, case, if somebody such weak constitution that they would actually be offend by this . Until you stop and to quote great Colin Mcgregor i wish him well in fight against mayweather this weekend about when you won second bell in ring he said i defended a lot of people i would like to apologize to nobody, that is why President Trump is resonating with people because like i said that, i own it, and you aint getting apology from me for it. Exactly right when does it end . It ends when america stops apologizing, look, it is a funny thing i have talked about this on fox before. First of all, and i am going to take it back to area that interesting in my opinion. When we look at why this occurs it is the idea that somebody feels weakened by this so the blashgz supposedly fien unempowered or weakened when they see robert e. Lee or statutes being torn down if donald trump doesnt speak fast enough gains socalled racism in america we are the most heterogeneous country on the planet blacks are successful beyond belief in this country if you look at countries where we have racism look at countries africanamerican cons almost homogenous to can you recall the nobody talks about these things we are only country discussing nonsense concerned about how blacks are doing how hispanics are doing in buckets we should be concerned how america is doing to your point, the reason why donald trump resonates is he thinks about this in terms of of memorial not black americans not white americans not Asian Americans but americans. I would have i was going to say i would have done mcgregors irish accent since part irish would be accused of being antiirish if i tried to imitate his accent i want to move to topic there is a big rally in new york planned for day nfl headquarters in support of Colin Kaepernick his supporters feel he got raw deal after refusing to stand during National Anthem for several games last season what is your reaction to this . Well, the fact that they are having a rally, in the idea is according to the people that i have talked to about the rally, it is race relate for Colin Kaepernick blackballed because black man in nfl but nfl was 69 black, so i find it humorous, that they would try to pull the race card in Colin Kaepernick being off the off the tra sized because he did antiamerican thing he should be i hope no team fiekz him up i wish him no respect with respect to this rally people dont want to take credit for rally i think america is sick of people like kaepernick living lap of luxury do you know whether or not even understand the plight of the black america that he claims to represent, as he takes his knee, i mean has been coddled entire life, half black half italian young man adopted by white family name is kaepernick, he wants us to believe that he has got some you know very strong connection with the kids that grew up like i did. To your point boxing legend George Foreman also black Colin Kaepernick devin durant in interview durant said he wouldnt go to white house to celebrate golden state wa warriors title. They havent been brought up with people patriotic a lot of people died so they can have that privilege, your thoughts on that . Well George Foreman nailed it, so has Charles Barkley many others who finally speak out about this type of stuff look when did we finally black america stop talking false narrative that america has a done something wrong to us there is no look, slavery happen want believe it or not, 87 of blacks were never slaves in 1800s people believe every black in america was a satisfactorily we were not slaves only 1. 7 of 13. 7 of blacks were sflaifz blooent black people had slaves one of the largest slave owners happened to be black man when we get over concept slavery has done such a disservice look we understand perils of considering people chattal but that hasnt happened to anybody get rid of the idea blacks downtrodden in america kaepernicks of the world are struggling there is no struggling sent our internal struggling. Thank you so much for weighing in on all of this Kevin Jackson take care of yourself. Pleasure. Trouble reportedly between President Trump and Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell Stuart Varney will tell you why he thinks that is weighing on markets this morning, and from dragon wings, to turkey legs .

Which is why comcast business delivers Consistent Network Performance and speed across all your locations. Fast connections everywhere. Thats how you outmaneuver. Could there be bad blood brewing between Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell and President Trump . New york times story that two are no longer even speaking to each other. Blake burman live at the white house with the latest on this feud. Brewing for a while what are you hearing blake. Reporter the suggestion in New York Times article this potentially could have impact on agenda Going Forward. In the upcoming months what i can tell you speaking with white house official moments ago, this person told me, that they are absolutely economied with the folks on the hill from white house to the hill points in between of getting tax reform done, spokesperson, for Mitch Mcconnell told me a what i will ago that they have quote shared goals like tax reform, infrastructure, passing a budget et cetera, down the line i was also o pointed to the fact that Steve Mnuchin treasury secretary part of administration Mitch Mcconnell with each other this week talking about taxes and agenda items, together. In kentucky and it was positioned to me like this that doesnt steam toxic at all does it. Either way there is no doubt that the president has been very frustrated with Mitch Mcconnell we know that he we lit into mcconnell few weeks back in a phone call after Health Care Reform did not pass publicly vebt about mcconnell as well has not stopped there for President Trump he has been irritated with several republican senators with an jeff flake senator from arizona last night once again sort of hinted at his frustration with flake, mcconnell backed flake president has suggested that he might back flakes primary opponent the president from last night. Nobody wants me to talk about your other senator who is weak on borders weak on crime, so i wont talk about him. [crowd booing]. Nobody wants me to talk about him. Nobody knows who the hell he is. Point there being dagen the frustration of some within the Republican Party with the president , and vice versa complicating this relationship when you talked about the president and Mitch Mcconnell the transportation secretary is elaine chao the wife of Mitch Mcconnell the president resiliented last night wants infrastructure bill to go forward last whook with chao was asked about the president s criticism of her husband stands by her man awkwardly clarified she stands by both of her men as she put it. Thank you so much joining us host of Varney Company Stuart Varney. I think that update on the mcconnell trump relationship is very important a clarification what have that relationship is. Not quite as toxic as New York Times article suggests i will be interested to see if it has any impact on the market. The moment, futures are pointing down, what 65, 70 points i think that is largely because of this article in the New York Times about this this really toxic relationship between the president and Mitch Mcconnell i was particularly intriguing about august 9 phone call apparently degenrated into a profane shouting match between two doesnt auguster well for president s agenda he needs Mitch Mcconnell support in congress and senate to get it passed, now we have this update from blake burman, lets see if that has any difference makes any difference, to the market, which this moment is responding directly i think to the New York Times article. That is where we are dagen. Dagen right the spat started at least was first revealed earlier in august, i said back then, as market started selling off, i think it was around august after august 8, that it was about the agenda, that it was about the tension between the leadership and congress, and President Trump and it wasnt about not to dismiss these concerns but it wasnt about north korea. It is not about comments made after charlottesville it is not about it is not about the right versus left. It is about the republicans getting stuff done for American People. I think extreme disappointment on part of president saw could not get 50 votes to Bonn Obamacare i this i the president is very upset about that but you know when youve got the president of the United States engaging in a full scale shouting match reportedly so according to New York Times announce sources i got all that when that is reported youve got to wonder about whether or not the president can indeed get his agenda through somewhat Reluctant Senate republican senate, i mean, it really ssows, seeds of doubter does it no i i think that is what market is reacting to mnuchin goes with Mitch Mcconnell to kentucky to talk about agenda what is Mainstream Media talk about but instagram about mnuchins wife end up talking about absolute we life in a world of media absurdity. On a side note to that dagen, did you see the cnn anchor last week admitted on the air, that journalists do not like President Trump. It is universal journalistic class they dont like this president i think that is obviously that seeps into coverage of the president and issues which they cover visavis the president and Mitch Mcconnell.
