jim. one thing i'm struck by, yes, we are seeing bets for a rate cut being priced into markets. it is not giving a boost to risk assets. what do you take from this? jim: i think you have to look at how risk assets have performed. if you look at 2018, it looks like we have had a peak in growth rates, inflation, interest rates, and risk assets. i mean, if you look at stocks for instance, globally, stocks peaked in 2018, and the s&p is up very little from where it peaked initially at the end of january 2018. you have basically collected the dividend. so at the end of the day, i think that fed policy has just created asset inflation, which is why i think you have got this divide on the fed where there are several people concerned about financial stability risk. because if you look at asset inflation, it leads to asset bubbles. if we mean revert, which the laws of mean reversion have not been repealed yet, it tells you where assets could head. lisa: luke hickmore, come on in here, because the c

jim comey. he opened the investigation in july of 2016.i put peter strzokf it. the same guy trump should lose 100 million to zero. that's the guy he put in chargeg jim comey is the one that allowed a dossier to get a warrant to spy on the american citizens and jim comey is the guy who leaks sensitive information, broke the rules to the fbi, leaked sensitive information to "the new yorkinin times" through his friend for what reason? to get the special counsel who entire saga forward based on a false accusation. owes the country for an apology because he put us through this for 2 1/2 years. we know he did it. we know he did it because he was out to get the president based on what happened at the january 6 meeting that you talked about at the trump tower where he talked about the dossier and it says on page 17 of the report they did it to try to get information, trap the president all the while, he was telling the president, you're not under investigation. >> beep go. >> bingo. >> that is a get. jim comey is responsible for the whole darn 2 1/2 year thing. >> laura

what is the state of jim comey today? >> the inspector general clearly thinks comey has a big mouth. this is the second inspector general report that is critical of him. the first the inspector general says he should have never had that press conference a few days before the 2016 election making those accusations, reopening the investigation against hillary clinton. that was the wrong way to handle that. here again, the inspector general thinks comey handled this the wrong way. in fact, nicolle, but for comey's actions, we probably would not have had a special counsel. we probably would not know all of the evidence of trump's criminality that the mueller report reveals. so i think in the long run, history will judge mueller -- will judge comey as, yes, having a big melt but in some ways being responsible for a little bit of transparency and accountability in the trump administration. >> ashley parker, i asked you before about how having this sort of doj fight on his hands seemed to benefit trump and his supporters. it cer

>> absolutely, jim. as you mentioned, in many incidents we've seen the shooter go down at the hands of gunfire by police. sometimes they turn the weapons on themselves. here he turned himself in. the question remains, what was the end game and what was the motive. this investigation continues. as you mentioned, he has been questioned by law enforcement providing information willfully. we are working our sources to determine what specifically he's mentioned especially as it relates to this manifesto we've been reporting on that investigators are trying to determine if it's associated with this shooter. what can be described as white supremacist manifesto, anti-immigrant, anti-hispanic. one interesting and key aspect, the suspect was not from this location. he lived some 650 miles away in the dallas area but traveled here to this border city to conduct this mass attack. so again the question remains was he targeting hispanics in this area. that remains a key part of this investigation. we're also told, jim

i'm jim sciutto in washington. poppy harlow is off today. the president's team called his visits to hospitals in ohio and texas moving, all while he's accused critics of misrepresenting how he was really received. the "washington post" reports this, and this is truly remarkable. none of the eight survivors of the el paso shooting still being treated at the university medical center agreed to meet with the president of the united states on his visit there. let's get right to cnn's sarah west wood. she is at the white house this morning. sarah, the white house portrayed a very different reception. they even released a sort of propaganda-like video on social media showing a warm reception, but the facts seem to counter the white house messaging here. >> that's right, jim. the white house did try to portray the president's visits to dayton and el paso as sort of a demonstration of the president's ability to act presidential in these kinds of situations. for example, his social media director, claiming that trump had be

that's the biggest question of all, jim. it's impossible for me to know precisely what's going through the president's head. my sources in and out of the white house say it doesn't really click with this president. what it means for democracy in the eastern hemisphere at large these protests going on in hong kong, at this moment he's so laser focused on 2020. he has said from the beginning it will be easy to make a deal with china. this, of course, contradicting himself at his rally in manchester which i was at the other day, he said i never said it's going to be easy. it's going to be hard to make a deal with china. tariffs, along with immigration, are two issues he feels more strongly about. at this moment, questions about human rights and democracy pale in comparison to him feeling this victory with regard to trade ahead of the election. >> that seems a broader policy approach, if you look at saudi arabia, et cetera, human rights certainly not at the top of the list. president trump has presented himself as a possible med

>> oh, absolutely, jim. i think the fact that he had these people out on the sunday shows this weekend, the fact that he gave the robust defense that he did definitely suggests that even though they're saying, look, there's nothing to see here, nothing to be worried about here that they're probably worried. because that is absolutely one of his strongest arguments for reelection. there are plenty of voters out there who may not like all of the tweets or some of the rhetoric that the president has done, but who do like what he's done largely with the economy. so if that gets pulled out and changes by november 2020, then that takes away something that a lot of people use to vote for president trump. >> brittany sheppard, it's interesting because you heard trump administration officials focus their fire on the fed here, blaming them for raising rates too quickly last year and applying more pressure for them to cut rates now. is that connected to the politics of this? they want the fed to avert the chance that t

i will tell you this, jim. the only thing that president obama did that could cause a discourse with obama and putin that president trump would probably really not want to talk about is the fact that president obama, then president obama, got in vladimir putin's face and said, knock it off. and even wander him, with other sanctions or things of that nature, when it came to the dealings in our u.s. election system, president obama then told him to stop it. this president is welcoming him with open arms and trying to bring him back into the g-7 to make a g-8. so there is a disconnect. there is a problem, but there is a blame obama philosophy for this president. >> and you're right, he twice directly warned putin about election interference. in fact, at one time using a red phone communication device normally reserved for averting nuclear conflict. juliette, here is the president's rationale for inviting russia back into the g-7. have a listen. >> a lot of people say having russia, which is a power, having them in

in the end, jim comey wrote seven memos like this. at least two of them contain information the government later classified as secret. but comey leaked the information nonetheless. in the words of the inspector general, "by not safeguarding sensitive information obtained during his afghan women and by using it to create publicfo pressure for official action, comey set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current fbi employees and the many thousands more former fbi employees who have similarly had access to our knowledge of nonpublic information." all of which is putting it mildly. jim comey was the most powerful law enforcement official in thet country. there was virtually nothing he couldn't do. he used his power for political ends and there's nothing more corrupt than that. of course we suspected that already. more than a year ago comey announced it to the world, in nofact. in april 2018 interview with george stephanopoulos, comey admitted he had the origins of the steele dossier from his boss, the president, watch. >> did you te

jim comey is the one that allowed a dossier to get a warrant to spy on the american citizens and jim comey is the guy who leaks sensitive information, broke the rules to the fbi, leaked sensitive information to t"the new york times" to his friend for what reason? to get the special counsel who put the country through a is a forward based on a false accusation. jim comey owes the country for an apology because he put us through this for 2 1/2 years. we know he did it. we know he did it because he was out to get the president based on what happened at the january 6 meeting that you talked about at the trump tower where he talked about the dossier and it says on page 17 of the report, they did it to try to get information, trap the president, all the while, he was telling the president, you're not under investigation. >> beep go. >> that's a guess. >> laura: that's -- >> he's responsible for the whole darn 2 1/2 year thing. >> laura: that's an extremely important point. molly, at the beginning of the angle, you were nodding about something that you thought was important that probably ha

let's go to kyle in kansas, kyle >> caller: hey, jim. boo-yah. >> okay. >> caller: my question is about big bank stocks with increasingly inverted yield curve, global economic slow down and the possibility that profit margins for banks are going to decrease should i stay away from big bank stocks like bank of america? >> here is the problem i think that the bank situation is much better than people realize. but it won't matter until they report and until they report, i think they are just going to go down because all anybody looks at is the yield curve and decide that's all that matters for bank of america and the rest of them. even though i think bank of america is cheap, i got to tell ya, i do not want you in so i'm going to say. >> don't buy. >> is that painful i like the company so much this market will be needty for quite sometime but try to stay strong i think stocks with investments, on "mad money" tonight as it lost its spunk is it a buying opportunity i'm getting to the bottom of it with the ceo and stocks rallied, get, rallies

>> well, they certainly are, jim. it's quite interesting to see because once again the response to all this is absolutely perfectly stage managed here in russia. on the one hand you have official russia, russian politicians, the spokespeople for russian ministries who are saying, look, we haven't received anything about this yet, we have to check this out, whether this is something the u.s. and france really mean. and there are other politicians who are saying the u.s. needs to lift sanctions against russia before russia would be willing come back. but then there is kremlin controlled media which is very close to the power elite here in russia. i was watching the main political talk show here and they've already come up with graphics where the g-7 turns into the g-8 in response to what president trump said. they then played president trump's sound bite we just played saying this was all the obama administration's fault, and that obviously was something that did come to great applause there in russian tv as well. they'

jim the president didn't want to say fired or not fired. about but for him he said the decision was automatic after learning about the things she said about his children. now, of course, part of the reports were that she had made derogatory compensates about tiffany trump his youngest daughter. when asked if the things she repeated. the president talked about his daughter and said he was calling her after he finished speaking with reporters on the south lawn though it didn't sound like he spoke with her yet about it. >> katlyn collins at the white house. white house reporter for the "wall street journal" michael bender, daniel, you broke the story of exactly what it was that madelaine westerhout said about trump's clirn. tell us the details. >> yes, i called around lots of sources in washington because everyone in d.c. was wondering what exactly she said to get fired. and what i found out is that she bragged to the reporters that she had a better relationship with the president than tiffany and ivanka trump. trump's daughters, and also that

>> that's exactly what this is about, jim. we are seeing stocks tumble because of new signs of anxiety that the trade war could lim literally cause a recession. now that the reality has set in that there's no end in sight for this trade war, it's set off a chain of events. we're seeing bond yields collapse and gold prices are soaring. what's happening is investors are rushing to buy gold and government bonds because they're considered safer investments than stocks. gold prices are at their highest level in more than six years. u.s. treasury bonds, which move opposite to prices, they actually plummeted to levels that we haven't seen since just before president trump was elected in 2016. this is sparked by central bankers around the world slashing interest rates to offset the effects from the lingering trade war. jim? >> alison kosik, we know you're going to stay on top of it. there it is, down more than 400 points. jittery markets, to say the least. >>> still this hour, presidential hopeful senator cory booker is in charleston,

jim. >> brian todd, thanks. the mass shootings in el paso and dayton sparked a national outcry for gun laws and today president trump is predicting action. let's get to kaitlan collins at the white house. what is the president saying? >> reporter: tonight the president said he's confident that he could get the republican party and the gun lobby on board with tougher background checks even though both groups have opposed such measures in the past and right now we haven't seen any new public stances from either of them. in a week where 31 people were killed in mass shootings, president trump is claiming tonight that republicans are behind him on background checks. >> i spoke to mitch mcconnell yesterday, he's totally on board. >> reporter: but his optimism is add -- at odds with what the gop said publicly. the senate majority leader signals on -- on thursday he's open for legislation. >> the key is making a law and not making a point. >> reporter: but his office is making clear he's endorsed nothing yet. >> this i
