brian moved out. denise wanted a divorce, but brian managed to put it off for years. >> so the marriage was finished at that point? >> i would say so. >> in august 2016, brian did something that nearly ended very badly for denise. the wild episode started one morning as denise got in her car to go to work. hiding in the back seat, brian popped up, shoved a gun in her ribs and said drive. denise managed to pull into a shopping center parking lot where she talked brian into letting her go. she promised she wouldn't tell police. but after brian left, she did report her abduction. >> he's screaming and i'm just like shaking. >> denise said an unhinged brian, upset about the divorce, even threatened to take his own life. >> he kept saying "i've lost everything. i have nothing to live for. " many times, "i'm gonna kill myself. " >> did he tell you how he was going to do it or where? >> no, but he said he bought the gun to do it. i said, "did you actually plan to kill both of us today? " and he goes "well, m

, they are not going to stay in jail out for an hour. >> brian: they will be out before you are. >> brian: i'm first in line. >> brian: only a minute left, but to add to this, chicago is unbelievable, it's emblematic of everything wrong, you have a parent saying oh, my goodness, my 21-year-old and my 22-year-old are probably going to be in jail for life and they are involved in the murder of a cop and may be a second who got shot in the head who stole a phone and got so upset that he was drinking and driving and when he was told to put down the drain, he would not do it. the mom showing up saying how could my kids do that? she comes out vilifying the police, it seems like on the surface this 22-year-old only had a shot, so how do we stop crime today and how do we stop another generation of killers and give them options before they become teens, before they realize that there is more to life and then the life that they are seeing around them. somehow we have to get into the inner cities and provide some of the guidance that the parents are not able to or are not just doing. >> greg: nothin

brian: does everything granada and a serious situation? of yet when it started california requires teachers and schools be mandated or be subjected to regular testing so where does towing american freedoms and and where does it ever expire joining us right now congressman nunez they are trying to recall governors and the scrutiny on the democratic governor got ousted. deeply the mandates and the lockdowns will be coming this fall? >> this hits close to home because my wife is a third-grade teacher i have three children all in grade school and i come from a stay in the height of the pandemic you have nancy pelosi going into a salon that went bankrupt and the poor lady lost everything that she had no mask also governor newsom when all the restaurants were closed in my area he was indoors eating without a mask. and then of course fast-forward to the obama super spreader birthday party come i think no matter what fauci or all of these guys say, we're getting a huge split in this country because the saying of do what i say not what i do and peo

brian: right. i buy it sometimes you make a mistake over and over again and point fingers. i don't know what's going on at the border. i haven't been there what's in there i haven't read it caught me by surprise. unbelievable. here is a statement the fairfax county spokesperson said in this content was posted in error by the school and since been removed from the website. so a big thank you. ainsley: now that it's discovered. your example and this example both were discovered and then they were removed and they were posted by mistake. steve: for instance, with the abolitionist teaching network that had been up like five month. the question is how many schools actually went on their website, sought them out for assistance, we will never know the number of schools. ainsley: that was from the department of education. steve: right, exactly it wasn't one school in fairfax county. brian: so, please, if you saw this and used it, deny you used it and unsee it. ainsley: so the school is bailey's elementary

brian. brian: we should expect more from our cdc. they should be doing more studies. september 25th dana and i will be on stage talking about life, liberty and, of course, we're going to have fun. be able to talk about her background. my history books and be able to answer all your questions more likely be in ashbury park, new jersey go to brian kilmeade.com and join us live in studio -- excuse me, live on stage. it will be fun. so, meanwhile, straight ahead on this show, the liberal media actually criticizing the administration and it's over the border crisis. can you believe it? kayleigh mcenany believes joe biden should return to trump era policies. she will join us next. plus, oregon's democratic governor dropping math and reading requirements for high school graduates. that ridiculous story coming up. ♪ ♪ >> tech: every customer has their own safelite story. this couple was on a camping trip... ...when their windshield got a chip. they drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and wi

brian, ainsley and steve? steve: what he's m thank you, brian. ainsley: brian? griff. steve: steve i was look at brian. ainsley: delta variant, our capacity to test, isolate and quarantine is stretched. but then he says they will be turned back as they enter the u.s. illegally and not seeking asylum. 88% of the parents of the children that were processed and were allowed to seek asylum and stay here in america. steve: you know, as we saw mayorkas taking the microphones right there, the background bace border patrol vehicles. they did not want any bad optics for this visit. former acting border patrol director mark morgan, been on this show a million times. he was doing a briefing yesterday with the heritage foundation. and he said border patrol agents were apparently told to clear out of the temporary camps in overcrowded facilities, you know that bridge we have shown a million times with 10,000 people under. apparently border patrol was told to get rid of all of the people. clear out the overcrowded places and w to start talking to the people on the mexican side. mexi

brian: that one? have you ever seen more scandals in your life volving one person so clueless for him to stay in office. there is so much to talk, about including another governor, one in florida. ainsley: we are talking about ron desantis the president at the beginning of the week told all the governors, anded slamming florida and texas saying if you don't do these lockdowns you need to get out of the way, i'm going to do it for you. ron desantis, he fired back yesterday. listen to this. >> we can either have a free society or we can have a biomedical security state. and i can tell you florida, we're a free state. people are going to be free to choose to make their own decisions about themselves, about their families, about their kids' education. joe biden suggests that if you don't do lockdown policies then you should, get, get out of the way. let me tell you this. if you are coming after the rights of parents in florida, i'm standing in your way. if you are trying to restrict people, impose mandate

brian: it's me. ainsley: your name is. brian: brian it's not brain. ainsley: people spell it wrong sometimes. brian: and makes me cry. steve: legacy of alex trebek is it take twos people to replace him. good luck for them and we will be watching at 7:30. what is going on out in chicago. ever since saturday night when that police officer was murdered and her partner was shot in the head, the bullet is still lodged in his brain. and he is fighting for his life. there has been a lot of criticism of lori light fort hood foot. keep in mind it was last year during the defund police movement that she slashed law enforcement in chicago $58 million and cut 600 vacant positions, you know what? the heat is starting to get to her because yesterday she said you know what? we're going to have to spend more money on police did. not say how much. this is unsustainable mess they have got there. ainsley: she is getting the message. she went to the hospital to go visit the wounded officer. she was not welcomed there. will police officers turned their backs on her becaus

brian: astounding. steve: that is why that particular question what if not everybody is out by the end of the month is so oimportant. there are 44 members of congress who yesterday wrote a letter to joe biden. this is bipartisan. republicans and democrats as well. 44 members of congress urged joe biden change his august 31st deadline for full withdrawal until all the americans and all the afghanis who work with the americans. ainsley: i don't know why they are putting a hard line. august st. they will say we will get them out until the last man is there. until we pull out the last individual. the pentagon said they evacuated 700 on monday. they hope to get between 5,000 and 9,000 per day. steve: they got 1100 yesterday. that's it. 1100. ainsley: we are interviewing a family. a man and his family are stranded there. they are americans. they can't get out. they went over in 2021 to visit family and to care for this sick dad. they are planning to return home to colorado on august 28th. now they have lost a

brian: yeah. i think also the rest of the families met in somebody's backyard and had their own meeting they had a chance to talk to each other and underphi. they messed with the wrong family with ian prior. he has a bulldog way about him. especially when it effects his family like most of us. and you are seeing it there. i think this is going to play into this governor's race with terry mcauliffe. terry mcauliffe says crt doesn't exist. please tell the people of loudoun county that cr it doesn't exist that governor northam disgraced governor refused to leave. he came out and said none of that is being taught in our schools only about segregation and jim crow and things like that. which by the way is taught in almost every school if there isn't that's a problem. has nothing to do with this. this is may be the pivot point that maybe puts a republican governor in that seat. >> i think this is a cultural issue that is sweeping the nation. this is one of the things that republicans are suddenly embrac

lisa: brian, what is your sense? brian: a couple things you need to look at. how is the economy doing? if the economy is powering through, strong, and the fed tapers, i don't anticipate much yield impact. in fact, yields could rise a little bit. but if the economy weakens, delta becomes more of a concern, and the fed tapers, then clearly yields go lower from their. -- there. lisa: you were talking about how there are little bond purchasers at this point based on what we are seeing, the recycling of money. at the margins, what benefit will it have? i realize this is a philosophical question, but what benefit does the fed have continued with bond purchases given that it is not giving a boost to the employment market? greg: it has little effect on the market. it is more a signaling effect. what does tapering due to yields? i think you are confusing because with effect. if the fed pulls back on their tapering schedule, it is because they see significant slowing in the economy. it is that slowing that will bring rates down overall in the marketplace, not the taperi

brian: yeah. i'm looking forward to seeing if people paid attention this time and heeded the warnings. we will know how many people contacted you. have they been reaching out already? >> yeah. people have been reaching out on zelle la channel. through facebook and other social media. people have been calling our toll free number. ending us emails. we have been getting a lot of tickets. unfortunately, last night we are getting reached out to by people in galliano, homa. people telling us they were on their roof, in their addicts. like i said, we tried to what she assets we had in that area. at the time we were getting these calls, the winds were still howling. it wasn't safe. some of these are special forces they are not afraid of anything. we couldn't have it on our conscience to send them a situation we knew could be potentially deadly. we will get people as soon as we can we know those crawls coming and just know that your fellow louisianans and the united cajun navy network all around the count

a lot to unpack there, brian. brian: absolutely. i know he was a terrible governor and cynthia was a joke of a candidate. jillian: tell me how you really feel. brian: absolutely. thanks, jillian. president biden says he is relying on cooperation from the taliban to evacuate americans safely out of afghanistan by next week. and we know the problems with that. this as the taliban is now blocking afghan's only way out by no longer allowing them access to kabul's airport let alone the americans that can't get out. our next guest was part of the taliban negotiations on president trump and has lessons to share. his story is on foxnews.com right now. adam bowler, welcome back. adam, what did you learn sitting across from the taliban that perhaps we would never know unless you stared them like you did. >> i think at the end of the day, the taliban are a regional militia. and so on the positive side, you can directly deal with them. if you make a deal with them, they will generally stick to it. but the big if here is the regional militia. so

brian: look. if you want to identify your school board weigh to the left go to school board watch list.org and maybe turning point can get behind efforts. loot of these would be board members would be rookies and they need coaching and they don't know how to start. charlie, that's why it's so important. so one more time the address? >> school board watch list.org, critical race theory and wokism is in all of our institutions and including our military by the way. we need to empower parents to have the tools to fight back. brian: charlie is going to be on in noon today in most cities across america on talk radio. charlie kirk, thanks so much. >> thanks, brian. brian: meanwhile, coming up straight ahead this our final hour, american mom trapped behind taliban lines in kabul. her cry for help to the biden administration that will be at the top of the hour. listen. >> we are standed at home. we can't get to the airport. when we try to get to the airport, we either get beaten up or we are afraid for ou

i'm brian sullivan thank you for joining us on this tuesday. there is so much to do as always, we have a great guest lineup for you ahead of it, here is how things look despite the covid headlines, stocks are higher after the late-day selloff yesterday that erased the major gains for the averages major averages got wiped out dow futures up 135 nasdaq futures up .20% before that, the dow crossed another all-time high before ending monday in the red a new high, just ended lower. >>> treasuries keep getting a bid, but yields are still under 1.2% wow. oil coming off its best day in a month. up above $71 a barrel one oil stock she loves right now and we will names names in bit. let's keep the world in "worldwide exchange" because we have a big day shaping up in the uk with the number of stocks on the move there let's get that with joumanna bercetche standing by in london. good morning, joumanna >> good morning, brian another positive day for european equities. trading in positive territory. stoxx 600 at record highs. we are getting record highs in e

brian? brian: all right, thanks, jillian. president biden pressed on the dangers facing innocent women and children in an interview that just aired let's watch this together, for the first time. >> the idea that we're able to deal with the rights to women around the world by military force is not rational. it's not rational. look what's happened to the wege rs and western china. look what's happening in other parts of the world. look what's happening in the co ngo. there are a lot of places where women are being subjugated. the way to deal with that is not with a military invasion. the way to deal with that is putting economic, diplomatic and international pressure on them to change their behavior. brian: unbelievable. fox nation host lara logan spent years covering the war on terror in afghanistan including a brand new special you've got to watch it on her series "no agenda" which airs sunday and we'll see a clip in a moment but lara, i want you to respond to that clip. >> um, [laughter] , that is just spectacular, brian. i

dan murphy has more. >> reporter: brian, the u.n. ministry foreign affairs said ghani spoke in the emirates yesterday. he used a facebook video to deny reports he took large sums of money as he departed the palace. his decision to flee kabul to avoid bloodshed. he wants to return to afghanistan soon he welcomes the negotiations ongoing with the former afghan leaders and karzai the situation in kabul is still tense. just in the past 24 hours, we understand the u.s. has been relying on the taliban to get americans and afghan allies to get past check points. the pace of the evacuations is improving, but still believed there are thousands of americans inside the country president biden now saying u.s. forces could remain in afghanistan past the august 31st withdrawal deadline to get every american out of the country. the white house is still facing intense criticism over what is seen internationally as a k chaotic and messy end to the wwa in afghanistan brian. >> thank you, dan murphy. >>> we are get justi getting started on thursday. th

thanks for joining us, i'm brian. here is how your money and investments look as we are exactly halfway through the 5:00 a.m. hour right now and futures they are up as we just said, not a big up, they are not soaring, there is none of those words, but they are in the green nonetheless. nasdaq up 22, dow up 19. once again we're seeing the nasdaq, smaller index, actually have a higher nominal gain tha the dow this morning the s&p 500 making an incredible 50th new record high on tuesday. the nasdaq just blasting right through 15,000 more on that in your rbi coming up. >>> trader stocks, once again, a big part of this run and it all begins with, who else, game stop after a rather, dare we say, boring beginning to the session, gamestop suddenly caught fire, surging more than 27%. look at that move, that's yesterday by the hour, around 1:00 p.m., boom, to the moon you can see that gamestop didn't end on its highs, but still what a rocket ship there. >>> and it wasn't just gamestop going for a ride amc, robinhood, clover hea

brian: i know. i'm seeing 9/11 2001, and you see 2011 with your son, and finally, let me just ask you at the end here, joe. joe, when you look at this situation, and you find out we suspended flights so that means there's no evacuation, that means they didn't even plan for the next day. they can't plan within one day. what does that tell you about the in competence of what's going on right now? >> it's an absolute disgrace. we need to get our people out. this just shows this lack of planning show once again the military industrial complex right now led by someone like lloyd austin was completely, they were expecting that they could slow roll joe biden once more to leave our troops in afghanistan. their plan has always been to leave our troops into harms way and to continue these wars. we need to get out. the day we leave the taliban returns. that has always been the fate of afghanistan. that is the history of that region. it's the graveyard of empires for a reason and absolutely ridiculous we stayed

brian? brian: great point, how are we going to do it? have no people, no facilities, and the taliban to fly them out, it'll be great. thank you. our next guest is part of a team organizing private flights, not waiting for government to get out of kabul but while americans are lining up to help, he says in no uncertain term, the biden administration has been a massive impediment to their effort. retired navy seal and former virginia congressman scott taylor joins us now. scott, you took action like you've been trained to do. how is the administration gotten in your way? >> well good morning, brian it's great to be with you and first of all let me say i'm proud to work alongside robert s crict and we have a teamworking non-stop for over a week now and we're just part of a small, we're a small effort in a very massive effort with americans of all walks of life, veterans, doing heroic humanitarian work in afghanistan trying to save lives. look, we were in touch with the white house over a week ago trying to get in there and help people out a

the company is >> iipr, brian thank you for having me this morning. i think it is one you should learn about. here's the thing cannabis is legal in 12 states, but illegal federally. this means a lot of banks and companies don't deal with cannabis companies if you deal with one, you are not coming -- paying bills with 100 d$100 bills in brown paper s iipr has a niche and understanding the regulations and getting around them and working with them. they buy the property on behalf of the companies and do a sale lease back it is a real estate company. cannabis is a $20 billion a year industry and growing 5% to 10% a year expected to be $25 billion in a few years. this is great. what we like is a secular growth story. i have other ideas for you >> yeah, i saw one of them here. we know people bought one of three things during covid. a house, a car or pot. this may be the first time an idaho company is recommended on "worldwide exchange. talk about pet i.q >> that is another one petiq is damaged stock is down 30% in the last month or so pabecause they miss th

i'm brian sullivan great to have you with us. let's jump right in. here is how your money and global markets are setting up the day. stock futures are higher not a lot. .10% dow up 62 points still higher this after the dow did lose 300 points in part because of the disappointing payroll number yesterday. the dow still 1% off the record high and many tech stocks continuing to make new highs nearly every day in all of it, bond yields remain low. 10-year yield is under 1.2%. wow. keep an eye on crypto. all of the big ones are moving lower this morning look at that number. bitcoin, 38 and change hard to think bitcoin was above $60,000 a few months ago stuck in the mid-30s range come up off the low, but still if you bought in may, you are still under water. >>> overseas trading in europe under way. like us, many of those markets just keep plowing higher some making new records every day. let's found out how we are looking with the rundown and key headlines from joumanna bercetche in london. joumanna >> brian, that's right another record high for the stoxx

>> yeah, and i think you're right on there, brian. robinhood is down. there's pretty decent put activity in that one a lot of it probably stephen weiss, but i think the issue here is that they are not just going after robinhood. they are going after everybody in the industry. and the more you make this easy to trade on an app, which robinhood did, paypal will definitely go that route my brother pete and i are going that route with market rebellion, and i think you'll just see more and more of that, brian. and they are going after those legacy brokers because a lot of them can't do on an app as easily what robinhood was able to do and what paypal will be able to do will be very interesting as well. >> it's just like electric cars. you are going up against companies like gm that have huge balance sheets cash flow issues they've got all these legacy assets versus starting new, starting fresh, starting light paypal may be able to do that. all right. good stuff there big news from kate rooney on paypal >>> still ahead -- the big etfs to watch right now jon's

i am brian sullivan. good to be back in the seat. hope you're having a good start or good end of your day. here's how your money is setting up the day we are seeing futures slightly lower. down just a touch. not a lot. dow futures off 62 points. .1 of a percent. yesterday the dow and s&p snapped a five-day win streak. dow down 282 points. primarily dragged down by one stock. shares of home depot on the second quarter numbers a bit more of those. thes&p 500 suffering its worst day in a month still, context is key. markets have had a very good run lately making more new highs this year than any year since 1995 i think it's like 47 or whatever new highs so far this year let's take a quick look at the bond market ahead of the release of the fed meeting minute which comes out this afternoon 10-year yield remains under 1.3% checking cryptos, we are seeing them down just a touch bitcoin down 500 bucks down 45,000 ethereum off 2%. let's go now around the world. julianna tattlebaum is in london key headlines overseas, julianna what have you g

brian: yeah. stuart: he stepped in to fill in, he was going to be the permanent -- brian: it's this world where we don't know how long ago he said it or what he said, but so much of what you do is recorded often because you put it out there, it comes back to haunt you. to lose this great job -- stuart: man's been in every game show, run 'em all, and now he's out. >>> all right, businesses across new york city declaring the vaccine passport mandate a death sentence for business. congresswoman nicole mall ya a tackies is on the show to deal with that. -- malliotakis. cay -- chaos in kabul, more on the evacuations with a live report from the state department after this. ♪ we gotta get out of this place -- ♪♪ if it's the last thing we ever do. ♪ we gotta get out of this place. ♪ girl, there's a better life for me and you ♪♪ at usaa, we've been called too exclusive. because we only serve those who honorably served. all ranks, all branches, and their families. are we still exclusive? absol

>> good morning, brian good to see you again. they don't scare us at all you see a tick in covid which is concerning, but you have seen the airlines tick down with covid in tandem. if we can get a bit of relief from the covid uptick, we think the etf we like that owns a bushel of the airline stocks, that will make a good move up. maybe a 5% to 15% pop if we get a little bit of relief from covid. that is what is holding down the sector such as the airlines. >> is that for real estate as well not housing, but commercial real estate and reats >> they are looking better and better the residential looks better than the commercial real estate. we talked to more and more businesses throughout the course of the week. they are not all that interested in renting space that doesn't mean there will be a tick up. this variant is putting pressure on it i see the market, brian, being up 5% to 10% before the end of the year. i indicated the positive the non emotional indicator. i said we would hit 4,400 by summer we hit that target we're pleased

meantime we've got a lot to do right here hi, everybody, i'm not melissa she gets the night off i'm brian sullivan thanks for joining us and your traders tonight, steve grasso, carter worth, and nay dean turner so much to get through tonight let us begin with the market itself because this has been nothing short of a juggernaut rally. look at that now, the s&p 500, it may not have posted a monster gain today, but it doesn't matter all it did was close at a record for the fourth straight day. which means the s&p is now hit an incredible 48 record highs this year, in fact, it has been ten months since the index has even had a tiny 5% decline wow. and most incredible perhaps of all the index has now doubled from the pandemic low. if you were smart, or lucky enough, or both, to buy back at the march of 2020 low, you're up a cool 100%. even as these gains come, even as we get some warning signs around consumer spending, markets continue to move higher. consumer sentiment, by the way, at its lowest level in ten years, that set yields back down, below 1.3% so let's kick it off and tie it all tog

>> thanks for having me, brian. yes, those are the first set of cases that have passed the motion to dismiss. and we will be getting into discovery. i will say even though there's a pending motion to dismiss filed by fox in the delaware case against fox, we have started discovery there as well. >> so, will any of this -- will there be transparency so we can hear your depositions? >> typically depositions are not public, brian. but there will be court filings i'm sure that will be coming out as the cases move along. and i'm ooh sure there will be excerpts of depositions attached to court filings and the like. and our courts, both federal courts such as in washington and state courts in delaware will have access to those proceedings. >> what about the proceedings against news max and one america news? is that why dominion is suing now? >> so dominion has continued from the beginning to take an evidence-based look at all the participants in these campaigns -- in the campaign of lies against dominion. and we are bringin

i will start with brian. this comes out of an idea raised at a book event about whether or not there is a discontinuity between how political scientists see what's wrong with congress and what actual members see as what's wrong with congress. and this is sort of well-worn territory but i'll rehearse it a little bit for our audience, just to say that political scientists have converged on congress' problems being, first off, a lack of capacity. this is an idea that's in congress overwhelmed but congress is understaffed, that it lacks the expertise necessary. the idea that congress has allowed its institutional prerogatives to go undefended. things like its spending power or the fact that the executives so easily seems to encroach on congress and its powers. and lastly, the effects of polarization. there is gridlock, partisan rancor, and it's difficult for members to work together. i wanted to ask, does this match up with your experience in congress? >> that is a great question, and let me thank everyone for th

brian. [laughter] and assure them as a nation that he notices that he's moving forward so he knows what he wants to accomplish and he rightly understands that sergeant shriver is the right person to do that and he doesn't care that sergeant shriver is grieving quite frankly. he cares but for his objective he does not care. he just lost someone a family member, president kennedy and he doesn't care that he already has a full-time job running the peace corps and he doesn't care that he is a family who just returned home from being overseas from a period of time and he is focused on what he wants to get done and the reason that i appreciate the tape is because it tells you what kind of leader he is the good of the bad and the if you're sergeant shriver and it tells you that he is relentless in pursuit of his large objective and that he understands the personnel policy that is got to get the right people in those jobs and moving and you see that throughout his administration. even as early as th

i'm brian sullivan great to be back with you on this monday. especially because the markets and your money, perhaps, are looking good to start the week nice to wake up with green on the screen futures up from .50% in america, that is 190 on the dow. now the markets, as far as the averages last week, you read the headline and see they were down. when you dug in, you realized it was mostly the big names heavy tech and dragging down the index. the reality is last week, most stocks actually rose including the small caps by the way, if you are counting at home and if you are not, we will tell you the major averages are up six months in a row done it quietly. stocks continue to go up by the way, we have the july jobs number on friday. that should be interesting also, watch the g.o.a.t. stocks. the get out and travel index the stocks that do with getting out and traveling. cruise lines, airlines, hotels, restaurants, casinos all of the covid headlines sparking travel fears. when they happen, you get the headline cruise ship passengers testing positive

because it's a waste of time otherwise, brian. it's just a waste of conversation. >> robert, i got about 60 seconds remaining. talk about the fact that the true political encourage we're about to see on display is going to be local officials, state and local officials, including school boards, that have to go against their republican governors. >> absolutely, brian. and some of them in florida are going against even the threat of losing funding in order to institute mask mandates because we know kids that are under 12 can't get vaccinated. and we know all too many between 12 and 18 in these states aren't. i will say this, i think what the governors in texas and florida are doing from a public health standpoint, it's deadly. i actually think from a long-term political standpoint, it's also deadly. i don't see how it's going to work in their advantage if they were to become the republican nominee. if i was a parent in each of these states, i can't imagine what i would be thinking going to bed tonight with school just around the corn

>> i added calls, brian, not stock. the reason i did that was the stock had an odd reaction to unbelievable earnings. if you just go back a couple earnings cycles ago, you would have heard they called about peak earnings. the stock has reversed and pulled back significantly off of its highs, so it looked to me there was a great opportunity with the options because i see this being potentially a nice snap back. if i'm wrong i might move over and have stock rather than just the calls themselves but i think this could be a quick move potentially but depending how the markets play out ask appnd the delta vat and other things going on out there, i thought it was prudent to use calls rather than stock >> pete. your final trades next on "halftime. >>> missed a show? don't sweat it the "halftime report" now has a podcast. market moving interviews, call of the day, unusual activity and of course ask halftime look for us on apple pcaodst or your favorite podcasting app follow the "halftime" podcast. where you learn, work, and fly

brian: i think you're right. and you pull out what we try to do the book b which is to tell stories that provide a guide for people who are looking to contribute and looking to fund their role in helping to move our country closer to those ideals we talk about, the northstar and agree with you, you're a star like frederick douglass hume think well, thank goodness for incredible people like him and i think that is right for the wrong thing to concludeis is that it's only gog to be exceptional people i could douglass they're going to move the country for because history of our country is a history of struggling to address injustices the move us closer to the northstar. in the social whor have done that, our people who if you're in a panel of experts group panel experts, tissues, they would never choose the people who turn out to be the social entrepreneurs. so frederick douglass was in enslaved individual yet he finds his gift any finds way to literally change the course of world history. so that is some of the sto
