as a joe mccarthy cold warrior. it was a coalition of the blacks who listened to him and stayed peaceful that night in indianapolis. it was a coalition of a group that back then no politician ever spoke to. who were hispanics. bobby kennedy was the only one who went to california, the only politician in america who went to california and stood with caesar chavez during all of his hunger strikes. and he reached out to hispanics in a way that they rewarded him with almost 100% of their vote in the california primary. he was bringing together the groups of the dispossessed that we dream about doing today. the people who support donald trump, and the people who support hillary clinton. and he seemed on the verge of becoming precisely the tough liberal or if you prefer, the tender conservative that i think we're still searching for in america. and before i go on and before we open it up to questions, one of the most tender moments that i've heard anybody describe about who bobby kennedy was this those later years was a g

joe manchin of west virginia, joe donnelly, and heidi heitkamp. >> the new york 11th, joe seat thatlosing that she tweeted that -- you tweeted that politicians face a rorschach test. what did you mean by that? that was a story with multifaceted story lines it, not the least of which mr. crowley was trying to position himself to be the next leader of the house democrats, and the ocasio.of or what she wants people to remember as her message was something i'm going to guess that we are going to your more and more from democrats between now and the election. not so much her message of progressiveness. she is a bernie sanders progressive democrats, wants to eliminate ice, once to medicare to be the sole health care, , i dofree public college not think the democrats are going to go for those progressive ideas. but what they are going to listen to which is what she said, we, the democrats, noble donald trump is, we do not need to spend our campaign talking ill of donald trump and trying to talk people out of voting for democrats voting against donald trump. what does do good is when democrats gi

a power pole just outside of the trader joe's. the suspect then runs inside and barricades himself. at this point it is not clear if that suspect has hostages, if there are people being held

joe: absolutely. and we saw the halo effect other same stocks rallying and some of the common shows the amount of stakes coming into this and the fact that they were able to basically beat on all numbers, show good revenue growth, cost containment, impressive on this tack. quite a relief for investors. julie: if it does hold on to tomorrow, it will be a record price. alphabet shares. scarlet: we'll continue to discuss alphabet and what we have learned from the results coming up. policy, chinese economic slowdown and trade protectionism hitting equity markets. or investor sentiment. we'll discuss all of that. joe: and get involved in the conversation. send me a tweet. if you want to, you know, have a question for a guest or complain about something you like or don't like. this is bloomberg. ♪ ,carlet: "what'd i miss? emerging markets currencies hovering near a one-year" low. joining us with more is a daniel. when you look at e.m., currencies, how much of his a move by those countries versus just the

i'm becky quick along with joe kernen and mike santoli. we have that special interview joe did yesterday with the president. very quickly look at the u.s. equity futures at this hour. you will see things are relatively flat. markets were down yesterday. dow was down by a half percentage point this morning the dow looks down, only by 2.5 points s&p is down fractionally and the nasdaq is indicated up by 30 points look at treasury yields. we've been watching that and the ten oversitting at ten-year sitting at 2.85%. rates came up in your interview yesterday, joe >> yes >> and those who control the rates. >> i remember -- there are certain things that are -- i don't know if they're predictable, but he's a real estate guy so -- and i remember prior to him taking office he talked about the bubble it's a big bubble. rates are too low. >> and told us he didn't like higher rates >> he did. but you knew it would switch from it's a bubble and it's because of the fed to it deserves to be here because we have a great economy, then we'll switch -- as a

joe? >> so many factors there, tom foreman. thanks for that. you've got psychology, typography, how much air. and even the question of current with the water. a lot of questions they have to deal with. four boys have now been taken out of that cave, with the help of thai navy s.e.a.l. divers. but they also used all of their oxygen to do it, and now must refill the tanks before they can get the remaining eight. so joining me now is former navy s.e.a.l., jake zwig. officials say the rescue of these boys took about ten minutes less than they had practiced. pretty good sign? >> yeah, that means they got it pegged, exactly what they have to do to get them out. i mean, that's always a great sign, when you rehearse something and then you do it for real in exactly the same time. >> now, one of the things, jake, and i think you know this too, just as a diver, they say on the way in, it was supposed to take about six hours. on the way out, about five hours. part of the thing i wonder about is whethe

trump told joe kernen >> i put a very good man in the fed. i don't necessarily agree with it because he's raising interest rates. i'm not saying i agree with it i must tell you, i don't i'm not thrilled because, you know, we go up, every time you go up they want to raise rates again i am not happy about it. but at the same time i'm letting them do what they feel is best but i don't like all of this work that goes into doing what we're doing. you look at the euro, you look at what's going on with the eu, and they're not doing what we're doing. we already have somewhat of a disadvantage, though i'm turning that into an advantage last year and for years we've been losing $150 billion with the eu nations, with the european union, and they're making money easy, their currency is falling. in china, their currency is dropping like a rock and our currency is going up and i have to tell you, it puts us at a disadvantage now i'm just saying the same thing that i would have said as a private citizen. so somebody would say, maybe you shouldn't say that a

joe? >> yeah. for the first time in the history of the 40--year-old secret court established by the foreign intelligence surveillance act, there were documents supporting a warrant that were released this weekend to the public, unbelievable. a freedom of information act lawsuit disclosed in the october, 2016, application to wiretapping carter page, a trump campaign with foreign policy adviser along with several renewal applications were released after president trump declassified their existence earlier this year. among those 400 pages, many which are redacted, the application states that the fbi believes page is the subject of targeted recruitment by the russian government. and it identifies page as a former foreign policy adviser to a candidate for president. that would be donald trump. it says the fbi believes the russian government's efforts are being coordinated with page and perhaps other individuals associated with the campaign and adds the fbi believes that page is collaborating and conspir

joe, one minor note. the president again, in his remarks that the electoral college spread wrong again. >> once again, at least he didn't bring up wisconsin for the 14th time. i do want to bring up, again, a lot of people say the president won't criticize vladimir putin because it undermines his election. again, just reminding people that were not with us at the top of the show, we had donald trump here in december of 2015, three months before the first republican primary, and he was still defending vladimir putin as a strong leader and justifying him murdering, assassinating journalists and assassinating political opponents saying well at least he gets things done. david ignatius, i wanted to -- so after watching the press conference yesterday, i did what i rarely do, i picked up the phone and i started calling friends get their reaction, because i don't like to talk politics with friends outside of -- outside of the show. i was so thrown off by what i saw i picked up the phone and called three friends a

joe: and i'm joe weisenthal. if your live on twitter, welcome to the closing bell coverage every weekday from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. eastern. scarlet: we begin with market minutes. check. the dow finishes up by 100 points or so. s&p 500 is feeling some of the weight of the big tech names including facebook getting pulled down about nine points. a mixed day in equities and we look at a stronger dollar versus 111.23.at oil gains half of 1% coming back to $59 per barrel. julie: it wasn't just facebook moving as a big mover, although facebook had a record drop during the session. done 19% as 20% over the course of the day. that is after the company user growth missed estimates. nielsen shares doing the worst. they cut their profit forecast and said the ceo will retire. scarlet: amazon just reported second-quarter eps $5.07. wasconsensus estimate $2.49. i'm not sure if we are comparing here. we should be looking at the gap line. topline is $52.9 billion. that is below estimates. the consensus among estimates billion dollars

joe. crazy uncle joe. >> i've heard that frankly some of thoseoe grapes aren't terribe -- gaps aren't terrible at all. they'ree just misspeaking. he's been in politics for 40 years now. there'll be things on tape that are embarrassing as they were. i don't think that has any bearing on how he may do. >> hannity: 13 million more americans on food stamps. lowest labor participation rate since the 70's. you have 8 million more americans in poverty after eight years. the worst recovery since the 40's. lowest homeownership in years. now compare that to the trump economy? how's that going to work out? >> donald trump has a better record, better economy and better hair than joe biden. >> joe bidennk has great hair. >> joe biden says gas machine. he's got no base. no money. no crowd size. that's a straight white male. that's too much privilege for the democratic party. i don't know if they'll be able to handle that the guy is a little creepy. ever see the videos where he's doing the massages and t

"morning joe" starts right now. >>> good morning and welcome to "morning joe." it is friday, july the 20th, and with us this morning, national affairs analyst for nbc news and msnbc john heilemann. we also have donny deutsch with us. legendary ad man and masusan de percio. white house reporter for the associated press jonathan lamere and washington anchor for bbc world news america katy kay. donny, i have to ask, our introductions of you are carved up by a thanksgiving turkey. at the beginning legendary ad man now they have don. don d. i mean, everything else you hear from me, i'm ad-libbing. >> yes. >> tell me, donny d. as a legendary advertiser and marketing man what do you make of the president of the united states, we'll get to the news in a second. it was really shocking that the president of the united states after being called treasonous by quite a few people in the foreign policy defense community, still trying to clean up which is going to be our top story, you know, the mess that he created when he went to helsinki and kowtowed to an ex kgb, and now an

joe biden ran three times. he never got more than 1% and president obama took him out of the garbage heap and everybody was shocked that he did. i'd love to have it be biden. i'd like to have any one of those people we're talking about. there's probably the group of seven or eight right now, i'd like to run against any one of them biden never by himself could do anything. >> i dream of ice cream, not joe biden. secondly, joe biden ran twice not three times. is this a jedi mind trick or does president trump crave a run against joe biden? >> i think both because aside from the language of being in the trash heap and things like that, he's not wrong about joe biden's record as a candidate for president. it's not great. it really isn't. having said that, that is ancient history and he did spend eight years as a vice president who had a lot of respect across party lines. the danger in my view that democrats are facing and the cross roads is are they going to make a mistake the last candidate made on the democratic s
