here, you can see she says, seen on lake charles where charles salieri once made his home. lake charles was named after the first person in the region. there are stories people told about him and the early pioneers. a lot of them involve a man who would use the waterways to hide out. legend says that once lafitte left new orleans, he came to this region. this is right after the war of 1812 when he was expelled from the city after being a hero. he comes here and sets up a base in galveston and he uses the river to make his way inward over and over again. like most local historians, maude reid made an effort to document the people she considered the founders of the town, the most important members. when industry change or there was economic development, she took great pains to document it. you can see some of the work she does is showing pictures of the most prosperous people in town. off of the lumber industry and sulfur industry and oil industry. she also takes great pains to find the everyday activities, activities that in this time many people not -- might ignore. in the

charles: right. ashley: don't you have to have consumers paying more because one company is, that is the not case. charles: if you prevent competition, then -- liz: talking about breaking up an ecosystem which is rare for antitrust gang in d.c. to do. platform of thousands of small businesses to come into it. charles: i don't think it would happen under a republican administration but i think it could happen be at the pace the company is going. might be better news that brick-and-mortar retail are doing better. >> i think they're doing a great job -- charles: hold on, folks. we will listen to this? cory booker. >> talk about time and time again the ideals we should have. what is the rush, what are we trying to hide without the documents out front? what are we hiding by not letting documents come out? this committee is violation of the values we as committee striven for, transparency. we're rushing in a process a way that is unnecessary. i appeal for the motion, at least be voted on. >> mr. chairman?

here, she said scene on lake charles where charles salle made his home. he was really one of the first people in the region, and there are a lot of stories told about earlys salle and pioneers, and a lot of those stories involve john lafitte, who would use the waterway and the lake to hide out from navy gunners. lafitte leftnce new orleans, he came to this region. so right after the war of 1812, the battle of new orleans, when he was expelled from the city -- after being a hero -- he comes here and sets up a base in galveston, and uses the rivers to make his way inward, over and over again. historians,cal maude reid made an effort to that shethe people considered the founders of the town, the most important members of the town. when industry changed or there was economic development, she took great pains to document it. so you can see, some of the work that she does, showing the pictures of those most pro sperous people in town. built off of the lumber industry, sulfur industry, and oil industry. she also takes great pains to find the everyday activities

charles: right. you have in then, 2018 a brand-new book, and i want to make sure our viewers know that they can find about one hour, 45 minutes of you talking in the since tony and in february -- in the smithsonian in february in your book o ulysses grant, an in-depth discussion. i want to ask something about the ulysses grant book. you wrote something in the preface. it says, no scholarly work focusing on grant's presidency had appeared since the 1930's was one of the reasons you wrote this for the university of kansas press. bookshave been two grant in the last year and a half, and i assume the ronald whyte and chernow books are not known as scholarly books on grant? charles: that is correct. brian: what does that mean? charles: i think what that means is that, an historian comes to his work full of skepticism. after the seminar i took at yale, one of the things he drove into us, go to the original sources, that is what is important. i think the popular writers are willing more often to perhaps you

charles. charles: jeff, appreciate it. president trump will visit the flood zone in north carolina tomorrow. we'll get you more details on the trip when we get them from the white house. >>> to the trade situation here. president trump announcing a 10% tariff on $200 billion of chinese imports. he tweeted back-to-back. china is taking advantage of the united states on trade for many years. they know i am the one to stop it. there will be great and fast economic retaliation against china, if our farmers, ranchers or industrial workers are targeted. economist peter morici. peter, the battle is joined. the question how long does this last? >> quite a while. 10% isn't much. really just a warning shot. china has lots of leverage. its exchange rate, provinal subsidies, so forth to work around a 10% tariff. even the 25% tariff on 50 billion doesn't have a large consequence according to most economists that were polled so this is just the beginning. apple, i'm amused they need to be exempted from a 10% tariff on earphones. this is

it connects to north lake charles and south lake charles. it is the main drag of city. >> early on in the city's history, and how has evolved? >> earlier, it was wooden fronted buildings, like a wild west town. if you pass closely in, built of pine and cyprus, turpentine. fires0, the great demolished most of lake charles, leaving us with souvenirs of the great fire in the rebuilding, including the 1911 city hall, and the wonderful courthouse. wonderfuldings are pieces of architecture that remind us you have to build well, strong, and for the future. that's exactly what they did. most of downtown lake charles fell victim to urban renewal in the 70's wendy's parking lots were put in. only today in 2018 do we see there has been a one generation renewal of all of this. it is now a fairly lively streetscape with wonderful auditions -- wonderful additions. the sidewalk, improved facilities, cable, all of this stuff that has been added to enhance the downtown experience. it's sort of a mecca for new entertainment, music, other venues, entrepreneuri

charles: i agree. i have had billionaires on the show and classically trained economists and conservative economists. they won't listen and they brag about the profits they are making and they are upset because more manufacturing of automobiles are going to be done in this country and that means prices go up. the american public doesn't see that. they see them as upset because their margins are going to be hit. their margins versus you getting a job. >> that's right. first of all we want more american paychecks. we are willing to pay extra if more american jobs and paychecks come back to our shores. but the second thing i'm going to tell you. i don't think people have fully understood, donald trump is the first manifestation of a growing movement. he's not an exception to the rule or an aberration. it's not going away. people are sick. they are used and abused by a ruling class. charles: i think the pendulum could swing to either side. i think the economy is doing extraordinarily well. i believe the ru

charles: harsh words. that was senate majority leader mitch mcconnell calling out democrats saying their case against brett kavanaugh isn't for the greater good. they say it's a waste to drag kavanaugh's name through the mud to prevent president trump from having another justice on the court. -- deneen, what do you think of mitch mcconnell's remark? >> kavanaugh's two young girls have been faced with threats of assault because kavanaugh is a nominee from president trump. you have the left mob -- charles: you think democrats don't believe what they are saying. they are just using this because they want to delay delay delay. >> where is the proof? charles: this is a harsh thing to chart somebody with. even if kavanaugh was a gas station attendants, you are convinced the democrats don't care because the democrats will save the supreme court at any cost. >> it's proven guilty before proven innocent. this is what we have seen for months. charles: we heard harsh words from nor mcconnell. president trump had stro

charles payne now "making money." charles: markets ended the taylor. but there were several great narratives. but the big news of course, the employment report. wages soaring. the unemployment remains at an 18-year low. we saw payrolls up $201,000 boosted by hiring in construction. professional and business services. president trump touting those numbers at a rally in fargo, north dakota. president trump: we had great numbers today. but the wage. people are starting to be able to live. the wages are starting to go up for people. more americans are now employed than ever before in the recorded history our country. charles: here to discuss, david nelson, bell point strategist. mark kelly and rick unger. david nelson, haven't seen you in a while. i thought it was a phenomenal number, better than expected. and i think president trump is right. wages seem to be the story. >> 2.9% year on year. i actually think it's higher than that because we have a record number of people coming into the workforce and they are coming in at entry-level wages. it's probably

charles payne, my friend, is here with "making money." charles: good evening, everyone. i don't know if you were under a rock today. the dow and s & p soaring to all-time highs. the dow make its 23 record close since election day. $17 trillion since election day. jobless claims fell to 201,000. that's the lowest level since november 15, 1969. that was my 7th birthday. president trump weighing in on today's huge economic data tweeting financial and jobs numbers are great. if you are not happy where you are, start look. remember our economy is only getting better. vote in the mid terms. tammy bruce is the independent women's voice president. tammy, president trump connecting or trying to connect this amazing economy, job openings to the mid-term elections. i keep saying i think it republicans are victims of their own success. everyone is doing so well, they don't care about the economy. >> when it was bad under obama, everybody was told this is the new normal. we are living our lives. things are happening a certain way and we are busy. and then you begin to believe because

charles payne is here with "making money." charles: reflecting a strong u.s. economy, this index hit an all-time high. what it is and why you should have expose our in your portfolio later in the show. president trump firing back after president obama tries to take credit for our economy. he tweeted president obama would need a magic wand, 4.2%, and we will do much better than this. president obama said president trump would need a magic wand to create manufacturing jobs. credit is finally being given to trump by "the washington post" for the blue collar jobs. james freeman is with the "wall street journal's" assistant editor. they looked around, the first month when we did have new manufacturing jobs. this whole controversy to me is an admission from democrats and progressives that trump is rockin' with the economy. >> the democrats are concerned about the economy and how it will play in the elections. he has a badge it wand called tax cut deregulation. unleashing american energy. i think what's heartening about the trump economy is not just that it's hitting

charles payne is here with making money. charles: an incredible day on wall street. there is a lot more to this rally. wait until you hear some of the things powering this. we begin with a bombshell. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein slamming a report from the "new york times" that says he discussed wearing a wire to record conversations with donald trump and recruit cabinet members to vote the 25th amendment to remove president trump from office. rod rosenstein said the "new york times" story is inaccurate and incorrect. based on my dealing with the president there is no need to invoke the 25th amendment. here to discuss this real, real deep situation. the advisor for the diversity coalition tore trump. and deroy murdock. deroy, let me start with you. the deep state at it again? >> this is part of an effort to go back to a story we heard earlier this year, that donald trump is insane, mentally ill and needs to be wheeled out of there in a straightjacket. they are going back to this notion trump is crazy. i saw a press conference he did with the president of tol

charles payne is next. charles: good evening. i'm charles payne. it's been downgrade to a tropical storm, but hurricane florence barreling down on the carolinas leaving millions of americans displaced and without power. the president green lights additional tariffs on chinese imports. florence continues to slam north and south carolina with massive flooding and a path of destruction. christina is in myrtle beach, south carolina. jeff flock is in myrtle beach, south carolina. jeff, let's start with the update. >> this is a lesson it doesn't have to be a cat 4 storm to cause extreme devastation and trouble. we are in carolina beach in north carolina where today we got the eye of the storm over us. it came across in wrightsville beach to the north of us. we went from getting hammered this morning with hurricane-force winds and heavy rain to the eye of the storm which we walked out dead calm, birds flying overhead. almost saw the sun, then back into the back end of the storm, heavy street flooding in carolina beach as well as some surge. cat one storm

and it also connects north lake charles and south lake charles. it's the main drag of the city. >> tell me, what would this have looked like early on in the city's history and how has it evolved? adley: early on, it would have been essentially a wooden fronted buildings, sort of like a wild west town. packed closely in, and built of pine and cyprus, rich in turpentine. it was such a city in 1910, the great fire demolished most of lake charles leaving us with several souvenirs of the great fire in the rebuilding including the 1911 city hall and the wonderful courthouse. these two buildings are really wonderful pieces of architecture that remind us that you've got to build well, build strong, and billed for the future and that's exactly what they did. most of lake charles fell victim to urban renewal in the 1970s, these parking lots were put in. only today in 2018, do you see, there has been maybe one generation renewal of all of. this i mean, it's now a fairly lively street scape with wonderful additions. post rita additions, sidewalks, cables, and

charles: good evening i'm charles payne. catastrophic flooding in the southeast as hurricane florence leads -- leaves a path of distractions. thousands of them stranded to have a live report from north carolina covering up their first president trump is expected to announce he's applying new tariffs on to order billion dollars in chinese goods. meanwhile what was her saying even if china does cut a deal to supply chain will move onto cheaper nations. the question is what about human rights? labor child labor and other harsh convictions. the time to finally address those issues as well? he are discuss "fox news" contributor deneen gorelli and editor of "the weekly standard." let me start with you deneen. there are a lot of organizations one says there's up to $144 billion in u.s. imports coming from murky circumstances. it could be child labor, forced labor, labor or situations that certainly we would never want to support. >> right, and you would think the human rights groups would be all over this issue when it comes to lab

charles: not a straight answer. that was former secretary of state john kerry yesterday, now he is being slammed for his latest attempts to affect global affairs, trying to under cut the current administration when it comes to iran. he admits he still has conversations with current regime. here with me now, deputy managing editor kelly torrent son, kelly, what are your thoughts. >> i heard this news, my two questions. has john kerry registered under foreign agency registration act. and how does he sleep at night. this is not patriotic, he not with america on this. he is not with the iranian people, last weekend three political prisoners were executed in iran, they were all kurdish activists, they are great allies of americans in the middle east. we could not fight isis without them, has john kerry said anything about the economy -- executions to the iranian foreign minister probably not this is shocking and mind boggling. here is john kerry trying to help prop it up, giving them advice. in this conversation, he had,

charles: no. what we're complaining about, people are saying is there a settle of rules for these social media platforms? is there a set of rules for search engines? if it is can we know what it is? this way perhaps, perhaps, when things that you know, when someone puts out a tweet and there is no retweets despite maybe having 200,000 followers, because has wrong words in it, maybe we can figure this out. if silicon valley, if the social media companies just continue to brush it off, then how will it ever get resolved. >> algorithm disclosure we talked about before. we need to see inside the black boxes. that is a very fair concern and very fair focus for congress and regulators globally. charles: we know these are private companies. we respect they can do whatever they want. they can take their ball with it, go with it, right? but they are the ifing getting to the point to influence cannot be ignored. they have more influence than the traditional media, under a tremendous amount of scrutiny and r

charles: breaking news. canadian foreign minister christia freeland is saying negotiators from the u.s. and canada are going to work late into the night to reach an agreement. coming up on the show, another massive blow to washington, d.c. establishments. elites keep dismissing the trend, but america is in the midst of a revolution. we'll be right back. i landed. i saw my leg did not look right. i was just finishing a ride. i felt this awful pain in my chest. i had a pe blood clot in my lung. i was scared. i had a dvt blood clot. having one really puts you in danger of having another. my doctor and i chose xarelto®. xarelto®. to help keep me protected. xarelto® is a latest-generation blood thinner that's... proven to treat and reduce the risk of dvt or pe blood clots from happening again. in clinical studies, almost 98% of patients on xarelto® did not experience another dvt or pe. . . least 6 of your body's natural blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor. don't

charles: that is correct. brian: where did you do most of the teaching and what did you teach? charles: i taught most of my career at east carolina university, which is in north carolina. i am a specialist in late 19th century america. i did most of that teaching in that area. brian: any idea why that era was what you were most interested in? charles: going back to that course i took at yale it just sort of gravity. -- just sort of grabbed me. perhaps if i'd taken a different junior seminar i would've had a different specialty. the kind of research i was able to do, it was a wonderful period to do research in. nobody had a telephone or significantly -- or of any significant use. all of the communication is really on paper. many, many, many of the politicians have papers collections that one can dig into very deeply. the library of congress manuscript room is really my second home. they had tons of papers collections there, harrison's has been microfilmed. and so have cleveland's. it was a period where you coul

charles: the didid it go too fa? >> the idea of him using this to shine a light on this is all about theatrics. the fact that we're talking about it makes a point that this was a worthy process for senator booker to do this. charles: i want to apologize. we're out of time. i want to continue the conversation. we'll bring it up again. lou: good evening, everybody. our top stories, after three days of deliberate disruption and disorder by the radical left, the circus that was brett kavanaugh's supreme court confirmation hary hearing appeao be coming to a merciful end but not without one last gasp of carefully choreographed chaos by the dems and their protesting coconspiratorconspirators. eang sand so it went and went at

charles: the politics? >> the politics will continue, i'm sure. >> erin, i know you are bullish on this market. have you been making any adjustments? it feels like value seems to be aractive right now. yesterday industrials look good. thedown jones transports are doing well. materials seem to be oversold. are you make adjustments like that? >> we have been looking at when is the shift between growth and value going to happen. we have seen the very start in september. not only the countries you mentioned. but also high dividend yielding stocks. they have done tear bit entire year. while growth has been struggling. it could be finally the growth and tech is starting to run out of steam and we could see investors start diversifying. charles: what about financials? they finally had a great day. could this be the consequence convenience of rates going higher? when we came into this year, i think every analyst in wall street said you have got to be in the financials. >> i have been saying this all year and they h

charles: good evening. i'm charles payne. president trump putting the world on notice in a powerful address to the united nations general assembly rejecting the idea of globalism and praising american nationalism otherwise known as america first policies. policies. he wants -- president trump: iran's leaders sow chaos, death and destruction. they do not respect their neighbors, borders or the sovereign rights of nations. instead, iran's leader plunder the nation's resources to enrich themselves and to spread mayhem across the middle east and far beyond. charles: here to discuss, capri cafaro, ned ryun, and john hannah, forme form -- former nal security advisor to dick cheney. charles: i wasn't prepared for the hit on opec, but president trump willing to speak his mind and go after the establishment. >> this was whether you agree with it or disagree with it. this was trump unleashed. if you are a world leader you want to know what does the american president think, where could he see the main threats and problems in the world

charles: i'm charles payne wrapping up a surge in the third quarter. all this despite political polarization. first the drama on capitol hill as the senate judiciary committee votes to send' brett kavanaugh's supreme court nomination to the full senate but they are asking for a one-week using special for an fbi investigation into the allegations against kavanaugh. >> i think it would be proper to delay the floor vote for up to but not more than one week noshed tore let the fbi to do an investigation, limited in time and scope. charles: minutes ago president trump did order the fbi to conduct the lup septemberal investigation. here to discuss wait all means. gregg jarrett the author of the russian hoax. and beverly halberg. high drama the last 48 hours. and then this move by senator flake. what do you make of it all and where do you think it will take us. gregg: you could see this coming. susan collins. these three republicans have decided this is their hook. we are going to demand this in exchange for a vote. but i must tell you it should take about a

charles? >> charles: peter, thanks. what does this mean for users? let's ask democratic strategists. leeza, jack dorsey has been under the gun. he's been extremely active reaching out behind the scenes to conservatives. i met with him twice myself. so he acknowledges there's a problem. he wants to find a solution. where does it go from here? >> this is a problem that has been going on for some time. trump is drawing a tension to it and twitter's ceo is drawing a tension to it by saying we have a left-leaning bias. the issue here is what laws can affect how these different platforms including google and social media companies can change. part of the issue is that there are no regulations in the united states that affect these organizations in terms of what they're posting. that includes not only what their users are posting in terms of content but additionally how they're ranging it, what they're algorithms are. google's algorithm is closely held and guarded. it's close to to see what we're seeing in the news feeds and what people are posting every da

there are 13 scrapbooks that discuss lake charles history. she believed in recording in detail the local history of the place. she took great pains in transcribing documents, she went to homes and selected photographs. she took their diaries and transcribed them. she put all of that material together in these scrapbooks that cover 100 years of local history. see she was bought. her at bellevue hospital. because of her family connection to public service, she released this call to the local community. she looked at the early doctors around and saw them as pioneers, going out in treating the second traveling across the countryside. 21, she said her life was slipping away. what could i do to serve others? she decided to become a nurse. she goes to new york, one of the largest and most famous hospitals of the day, to get experience. she knew she needed experience doing the job. she comes back to lake charles and begins her work as a red cross nurse. scrapreid got into booking at the request of the local doctor. he was contacted by a famous surgeo

lake charles is part of the south, part of the west, but lake charles is more lake charles. it's an interesting, unusual place to be. its past is not what you'd expect, and it's future is something it's built itself. so what can i say? i think it's a welcoming town. it's not perfect. my god, it's not perfect. but you can live a good life in southwest louisiana. if you don't mind the heat, you can have a great life in southwest louisiana. it's a place that i think takes chances when it needs to take chances. it's a place that's very conservative when it needs to be very conservative. it's a place that provides opportunity to a lot of people because it's not just blue collar anymore. it's much more than that. >> we are on the campus of mcniece state university where up next we speak with author michael smith on his book, "the enemy within." >> corruption during the civil war was undoubtedly a serious problem. as it had been before the war and as it notoriously continued to be after the war into the period of the gilded age when it was one of the biggest problems in american po

charles: it certainly goes in waves. you have got to believe their books, anonymous op-eds, the pileon has been significant. tammy: we know president trump. we have seen him across an entire spectrum of surprising situations. he's a president we know extremely well. polls are snapshots in a moment. but what we have also seen are polls -- this is what worries me about this poll. we need to look at the internals and not just what we have seen in '16 and other elections. it's how they weight who answers the question. we have seen this as a competition for the frame of the voter. i rely on rasmussen. it's at 47. it's a standard higher 40s. gallup stopped look at the presidential approval rating because they couldn't get it right. but this will change. the president will continue to do well. i always say don't rely on the polls in a snapshot. charles: i am sure the democrats have learned their lesson for not resting on their laurels. the democrats craft a message ignoring the economic parts? even with the economy doing as wel

there were very few brick structures and lake charles because lake charles was a saw mill town. made of the cheapest building materials, the roofs were made of wood, sidewalks made of wood, houses made of wood, churches made of wood, everything made of wood. and in that great fire, this culture of wood was absolutely a sale. because it's very rich pine and cypress had pitch and tar that just made the buildings explode and splinters of buildings and the firestorm which howled in lake charles, over the 10 or 15 hours the fire was here, was such that 15,000 people lost their homes. and the city was rebuilt almost exactly on the ashes of the -- it was built with an intense decision to build better and stronger even then. they had evangeline in 1903, i believe. 1903. and 1901 in texas there were, madness looking for oil and gas everywhere. oil and gas has always been a big part of southwest louisiana in terms of the exploration and discovery. but actually came more to fruition with the actual refining of oil. because we had the ideal situation. we were ideally suited in terms of wher

charles: back to our big story. president trump just wrapped up a wide-ranging free-wheeling press conference. susan li was there. reporter: it wassing a long press conference, lots of topics being covered. kavanaugh, rosenstein, china. i asked about canada because there were reports he rejected a one-on-one with prime minister trudeau. take a listen to president trump. did you reject a one-on-one meeting with prime minister justin trudeau? president trump: yes, i did. reporter: why? president trump: his tariffs are too high, and we are thinking about taxing cars coming in from canada. that's the mother-load. we are not happy with the negotiation style of canada. usmc will be u.s., mexico, canada. but it will probably be usm. if canada doesn't make a deal with us, we'll make a much better deal. reporter: so i asked him directly if he was going to pull out of nafta and still no answer. charles: we'll be right back. i think we can do better. change is hard. try to keep an open mind. come on, dad. this is for me, son?

we'll see how close lake charles we're he wilderness, going into the industrial part of lake charles. all of these vacant lots here have been covered with saw shops andconstruction mill work fabricators and that sort of thing, using the lumber harvested have been along the river. you can actually see we're going river.closer to the and you can see the trees that lined both sides of the river. >> and you're seeing that morphing, that you typically associate with louisiana. >> right. follow we're going to the river, this is their double loop of the river. --s is north >> we're on the river. there is no guard rail. you're in the water. and this is what, on the bank, this is what the early settlers would have seen then, in river back the day. this would have been filled with floating, logs floating on this body of water, the saw o be run into mills and the mill shops of lake charles. how 's interesting to me quickly we went from downtown to here? >> to wilderness. do you feel that that sort of duality defines the city? >> it does because you're a remote urban outpost in the think, f nowhe

lake charles is more like charles. it's an interesting unusual place to be. it's past pass is not what you would expect. a teacher as the teacher is something that's built itself. and he gets a welcoming town. is not perfect. but you can live a good life in southwest louisiana if you don't like the heat. it is a place where i think it takes chances when it needs to take chances as a place it's very conservative. it's a place that provides opportunity. is not just blue-collar anymore. it's much more than that. >> corruption during the civil war was undoubtedly a serious problem. as it had been before the war and as it continued to be after the war. i think through the civil war that was pretty consistent. the corruption was a major issue. the tremendous growth of the national government. and the lack of regulation of it encouraged this as well. the corruption was a serious problem. it was sensible for them to be worried about corruption but what was most interesting to me was the extent to which their fears about a kind of spiral beyond practical concerns. the

charles: [laughter] charlie: i'm glad you're not. but and just remember -- neil: do you think that it could happen? charlie: yes and here is one thing that's fascinating if you look back at history. we had small blow ups for the last 25 years we had the mexican peso crisis where they bailed out the banks through the government stuff and we had long term capital remember the big hedge fund. and all of the banks copied a trade and came out the fed and the treasury came out and did a minor bailout. what they essentially did and they had to do this because the whole system would have imploded for 30 years they said there was no consequence to your risk of wall street and every time they did that, they took greater and greater risk. now, you have to ask yourself, was this necessary or shouldn't all the banks have been put under to create that consequence where they wouldn't do it again. neil: do you find it that wall street points the finger, don't rescue these people and look after these people when in fact they were the beneficiaries of

>> reporter: charles telling us his fight is not over yet. he'll be out here all weekend. kate snow, nbc news, wilmington, north carolina. >>> there is a lot of other news to tell you about including the news that hit like a thunderbolt across washington and far beyond. president trump's former campaign chairman paul manafort pleading guilty to federal crimes and agreeing to cooperate with special counsel robert mueller. that move allows manafort to avoid a second criminal trial but requires him to answer whatever mueller wants to know. nbc's kristen welker now with late details. >> reporter: after first fighting criminal charges, paul manafort is now cooperating with special counsel robert mueller. the plea agreement says manafort must cooperate with the government in any and all matters. >> a tough day for mr. manafort but he's accepted responsibility. and he wanted to make sure that his family was able to remain safe. >> reporter: in court today, mr. manafort told the judge, i plead guilty. the charges, conspiracy against the united states

. >> charles sauer, what is the profit motive and how do you define it? >> it is a way to look at the world around you. people are motivated by acts of different motivations in their life and idea that as profit and redefine it right away. profit is feeling good, giving back to the community. more time with your family. they are driven by profit. just a general fact we all understand that in the book i take it a step down further and show that managers are driven by profit and that is different than what the company's motivations are and employees under them are driven by profit. i move from there because most of us understand business. i move that into other sectors. i look at government and show a 28-year-old bureaucrat sitting at a desk may not always have the best intentions of the country on his mind when sitting at the desk. sometimes he wants to get off work and go on a date, maybe he wants to move up in the bureaucracy himself, he has motivations and they don't go with the program he is working for and this works in media and applies to family lif

. >> charles sauer, what is the profit motive and how do you define it? >> the profit motive is a way to look at the world around you.people are motivated. they act because of different motivations in their life and i deem that as profit and in the book i redefine it almost right away and say profit isn't just money. profit is maybe feeling good. profit is getting back to your community. maybe profit is more time with your family but when people make a decision, when they make an action they are driven by profit. we all know businesses are driven by profit. that's a fact that we all understand but in the book i take it step further and show that managers are driven by profit and that is often different than what the companies motivations are. and the employees under them are also driven by profit and i move it from there because most of us understand business but as we take down the profit motive and i move that into other sectors so i look at government and show that a 20-year-old bureaucrat sitting on the desk may not always have the best intentions of
