National committee behind me bringing this convention into session. Its a convention with high stakes for the Republican Party because donald trump is trailing Hillary Clinton. If you look at our nbc the wall street journal poll just out over the weekend, shes leading him 46 to 41 . Donald trump leads only in the south, trails every other region.

Interestingly though as at a time when donald trump is trying to unite the party and his choice of mike pence as running mate was a step in that direction, his Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort has taken a strong stance against the antitrump hold out. This morning he said Governor John Kasich ran against donald trump was not speaking at this convention, was embarrassing his state. Also said people like kasich, like mitt romney, like the bush family members who are not comin
Offer for monsanto in what could be the largest merger of the year fit goes through. The acquisition would create a global giant in agriculture technology. Monsanto traded well below the offer price of 122 a share, a sign that shareholders are skeptical and may not be that enthusiastic about signing off on that deal. But the ceo of behr says the combination makes sense and hes not concerned about regulatory issues. The beauty of this combination is that both businesses are highly complementary. And its very much a growth story that is behind the combination. The products complement each other perfectly. The regional fit is really great. And while there will be at one point or another some discussions with regulators, we dont see this as a major issue. Behr said it decided to make details of its proposal public after reports surfaced last week. Tribune once again rejected a sweetened offer from ginett. The board of tribune which owns the l. A. Times and Orlando Sentinel said its turnaro

With one candidate, donald trump, running against a huge part of the federal government. You dont want the fed to be added to the list of enemies that can be trashed at a whim. [ booing ] when the fed decided today that it wasnt going to adhere to the four rate hike plan for 2016 that it foolishly laid out in december, we got a nice commonsensical change of pace.
