The united states and i think anyone is looking for a kind of clinton post-1994, 1995 shift is probably looking in vain. theres nothing in his biography if i that suggests he has the capacity to listen to those voters, who i put them on the white house staff who absolutely seem to get it. and this is also, to my mind, the down side of what created it. great tragedies about you have the vices of your virtues. he has become culturally u b bik -- >> the man who says my wife always has the tv on and...

Talk about, gee, i think now is the time for negotiation with north korea. when, frankly, it wasnt, but he had to reassure audiences and asia that we would keep the door open to negotiation. >> what is -- i understand there could be some logistical down side, but i know that it has been debated about one way to show the north koreans business is to shoot down one of their missiles when they test it. and i know it gets debated every now and then. and the decision always is, nah, better not to get...

Immigration. so this is something that had real issues and the court found to be in con tempt and the president essentially saying its okay. but yes, it is inappropriate. >> and we heard kasich the governor of ohio also saying the very same thing. if it is a political move, it was widely seen as that, if there are ear halo effects of saying yes, im fine with racial profilin profiling, is there more of an up side than a down side? >> i srcertainly think trump se this as him being hard on immigrat...

We also saw that mays numbers were revised a bit lower. junes numbers were revised a bit higher, but if you look at the overall trend, were not seeing enough numbers to reach 25 million jobs that president trump has promised to create in ten years. we would need to see an average of 208,000 jobs each month to get to that 25 million. a few of the takeaways from the july jobs report, unemployment falling to 4.3%, a 16-year low and its a level getting close to what economists call full employment. ...

Episode is obviously this is a problem thats been endemic to fox news culture since roger ales founded it in 1986. the fact they suspended bolling so quickly is recognition that the pr nightmare that they have endured over the last year, they cant just look the other way. on one hand, i as a reporter who covered this story, you have to see the swift action about the suspension as progress. the down side is that here we are again more than a year after roger aless ouster, seeing a drum beat of gr...

If theyre trying to slow it down, i would say theyre not getting a very high mark on that front. >> well, its all relative. its somewhat of a slow-down for the few days that kelly has been there. weve seen this before. a period where aides were hopeful that all of trumps tweeted would be vetted to the lawyers recognizing the legal jeopardy because of the russia investigation. that never happened. so im sure kelly would love to get ahold of the tweeting, but other aides have tried and failed on t...

But im backing my guy. he lets it hang out there. so what is the strategy here? is he seeking to get rid of sessions by having him eventually resign so he can later say i didnt fire him? is the point to have him out of the way so that a a new attorney general can come in who has not recused himself from the russian investigation and how can somehow or another manipulate that investigation? its unclear what is going on here. it seems like its a down side for president trump no matter what. >> bla...

About president obama. the president enjoys a little chaos under him. the signal is sent engage in chaos. theres no down side to doing it. no question the behavior starts at the time. >> neil: thanks, ari. good seeing you. >> thank you, neil. >> neil: the president gets ready to depart washington. going to west virginia addressing a huge gathering of boy scouts. 40,000 of them in west virginia. not surprisingly, shelly capito, the republican senator from that fine state will be juning him. shes ...

Journey to cashless. i read this in the "wall street journal." im like bribing them to stop taking cash? thats quite a thank. >> thats what it takes, my friend. cash is king. theyre trying to build up their market share. cash is responsible for 32% of transactions out there. 27% to debit cards. 21% credit cards. theyre losing the game here and they want to bolster their share of the marketplace. in the u.k., its 50% credit cards. theyre losing here. >> shepard: what are the draw backs to cashles...

Donald trump raises the issue of russias interference with vladimir putin to his face, even though this was interference that might have helped him win the presidency. he took the high road, he was statesman-like, represented america and its institutions, not just himself and his political fortunes. so i dont see a down side, but she clearly -- there is a personal issue here. hes in something of a defensive crouch. it means a lot to him that he won -- he wants to believe he won fair and square. ...
