President obama starts speaking and listening in on the q a as well. Kelly . Here in aspen, weve got highlights from my conversation this morning with black rocks larry fink, hedge fund giant, and hear what they had to say about britains vote to leave the eu. They all had very different points of view. And why singer thinks it could trigger a global depression. And yuri milner is coming up after the close, bill. And so much more. But lets start with this rally on wall street that continues. Bob pisani is smack in the middle of all of the action here on the floor of the stock exchange. Robert . Maybe its the end of the quarter bargain hunting, maybe its something bigger than that, i dont know, but i can tell you, the rally is continuing. Take a look here, folks. Nine to one declining to advancing stocks, thats better than it was yesterday. The volumes on the heavy side, too. Its not just that buyers dont care, buyers do care.

Report. Which first sent the market down, and then upon further review, made it roar back to life. Dow ultimately gaining 108 points, s p advancing 0. 6 . Nasdaq 0. 92 . Wow so how do you play something as dry and convoluted as the labor departments release . Simple, you look at outsized gains in certain segments of the report and you extrapolate. Which ones showed truly outstanding growth . First there was construction. The economy added 30,000 construction jobs in march, with the heaviest concentration in residential specialty trade. Second, retail, which added 48,000 jobs. The biggest gains besides general merchandise, 10,000 new jobs in building and materials and Garden Supply stores. Bingo hallelujah you have your payoff.

Let me say that with regard to education, if i can turn to that first, our country has always been very, very strict about improving the enrollment of children at schools. And weve always been at the list of countries doing most to that end. And we are at 100 percent enrollment of kids at school. Now, wherever children are in my country, they go to school.

All of that is fine and well. But we are looking
Katy Tur hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Hmm, now heres what he just told fox news. Why do you feel its necessary to get on the record with things that havent been asked yet or that are not public yet . Whats coming . When i thought when i thought when i thought it was going to be published, i wanted to get out in front of it. As Harris Faulkner points out, no report exists right now. As of now there has been no reporting at all that Michael Cohen claims that there was another meeting. Now, it comes on the heels of a busy weekend for the president , at least on twitter. In a trio of tweets rife with questionable claims he called the Investigation A rigged witch hunt and an illegal scam. Quote, is Robert Mueller ever going to release his conflicts of interest with respect to President Trump, including the fact that we had a very nasty and contentious business relationship. I turned him down to head the fbi and comey is his close friend. So
