Good morning. And thank you, everybody. Its a real pleasure to be here. Last year you heard, i was sitting in your skpot and it po. I was happy to answer that call. At the time i thought, oh, this will be something obviously very interesting in my mind at least and something predictable but i learned that its a very, very wide subject. I wont cover all of it by any means. And ive learned a lot. So i hope that youll profit as well.

Rising still posing an alltime high and the nasdaq advancing how is that we could rally so hard much better than this close . Closing figures . On generally good news and then lose our momentum. At one point we were flat lining for advancing the final hour of the day. I think we got dragged down by the very same force that allowed the averages to rocket higher than the first half of this year dow gaining 14 . S p polling 47 and the nasdaq going up 21 and that forced skepticism the market is full of skeptics its full of bears who sometimes masquerade as bulls. And their doubt is the fuel that lets us go higher. Bull markets thrive on disbelief. The moment everyone believes in the bull, the rally is over because there is no one left to buy. Let me explain first this weekend President Trump declared a truce in the trade war with china and i phrase it that way because it was so onesided president xi didnt seem to give up everything but if trump is willing to ratchet down the tensions, im n
Events, warm and fuzzy, highly entertaining, song and dance, one day festivals, period. Isnt it funny how when you want to do africanAmerican History, . E can do a oneday festival not caucasian history . The department had a longrange plan. They were going to build a visiting center one day, that was going to be stateoftheart, and there would be some exhibits in their exclusively in there, exclusively dedicated to telling the story of slavery.

Thatd passed the point africanamericans would say, if you think thats the best thing, thats what we are going to do. Please. [laughter] durant puther
This research . It was because i feel at the time of Ronald Reagan, accomplished so much. I mentioned restoring pride in america, creating a booming economy. And bringing freedom to millions in Eastern Europe and the phoenix communism, which in my opinion is the most important historical event of the second half of the 20th century. We do not have thousands of Nuclear Missiles aimed at us, at least from russia anymore. Life in the late 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, was involved in fighting communism. But the cold war. Proxy wars here and there, korea, vietnam, many other examples. It wasnt present like that in the 1960s. That communist and at the berlin wall, communism and i will end with this, many people think that the first time ronald called for the berlin war to be torn down, when he yelled, mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall. Thats not when it happened. It was 1967 during a televised kennedy, itrobert was a question that Ronald Reagan answered and on may 15, 1967 call to tear down the lan
Were all fakes, painted by a struggling artist in his garage in queens. The fraud might still be going on if were not for an art historian named jack flam, who was the first person to uncover the scheme and blow the whistle to the government. When you found out that all these paintings were forged by one guy working in queens, what did you think . I was amazed. I was truly amazed. The guy really knew what he was doing. Sharyn alfonsi scientists from the u. S. And mexico recently surveyed the gulf to count the last vaquitas still in existence. Its not easy, because their numbers are dwindling and the animals are notoriously shy and elusive. Thats one reason why most people have never heard of a vaquita okay, theyre right here ten o clock alfonsi and fewer have seen one. We didnt expect to see any, either. Whats your best guess . How many vaquita are left . I think theres certainly fewer than 100. Im steve kroft. Im lesley stahl. Im anderson cooper. Im bill whitaker. Im Sharyn Alfonsi. I
