Sal, let me start with you. What treich 6 strikes you about the situation . The most obvious this was isolated incident as the Police Commissioner out there was saying and it just took the global attention of the media and its something that were going to have to be dealing with because as somebody who does these type of attacks realizes the amount of press they can get and noteriety, that becomes problematic for us. Melissa absolutely. Tom, i think that another thing that is disturbing about this, this guy was so clearly on the radar. He mr. Guilty to sending hate letters to families of australian soldiers that were killed overseas. He was out on bail. He was a very wellknown quantity. Why was he out Walking Around . You cant incarcerate someone because they make threats. You cant follow him 24 7, unless you really feel that he will be a lone wolf type of terrorist who will do something melissa but he was a lone wolf type of terrorist. That is what victims families at home will be say
Gasparino, david asman and greg rayburn. Thanks for joining us. Charlie, what do you think . I said this yesterday, bill ackman is very good investor but when it comes to this stock his bark is always bigger than his bite. Melissa how about the tears . This got a little bizarre. You talk about your parents, people get emotional. Lets be honest here. He is attacking the company. Calling for a company to be put out of business. Is attacking the cfo, the executives of this company as people perpetrating a fraud. Melissa i called it a criminal enterprise. I want to know. Well have the cfo on to respond. If you do that my guess you probably stay away from sentimentality involving your great grandparents that emigrated from eastern europe. You dont go there. This is a serious thing. Melissa yeah. He is basically trying to put a company out of business. Melissa as a ceo of a public company, having been in this seat, how would you respond . I actually think from what ive seen and your guest wi
Melissa steep selloff, owe blight rating the years biggest rally. The dow plunging 300 points before cutting those losses. All major indices down well, more than 1 1 2 . 1 and 3 4 . We have dan shaffer of schaefer asset management. Charlie, this is one of the selloffs, nobody can agree what it is. Im not saying get out of it because i dont believe you should get out of it now. It is artificially inflated by the fed and when you have little sort of hint coming out of the fed they may raise rates. There was something of that nature today, one of the fed governors, someone weighed in, i cant remember which one. One of the hawks. Melissa usual nonsense. The market trades off, off 300 points. I will say this, this shows you why inflating a market based on printing money is really bad for the general public. The average american should not be worried about every single thing that comes out of the fed. Should be worried about, is the economy improving . Is corporate profits up . They should n

Entitlements in his state of the Union Address including Community College, health care, retirement benefits. All part of a sales pitch for socalled middle class economics, which includes a testy push for raising the minimum wage. Everyone in this congress who still refuses to raise the minimum wage i say this. If you truly believe you can work fulltime and support a family on less than 15,000 a year, try it. If not, vote to give millions of hardest working people in america a raise melissa that was one amazing. Grab bag of new giveaways, any mention of reducing the 18 trilliondollar National Debt nowhere in sight. Here to discuss all of that, tom Sullivan James freeman from the wall street journal. Noelle nick pour. Columnist for the Fort Lauderdale sunsentinel. What hit me, you also cant support a family on 17,000. You cant be head of household on 20.
