The final hour and we did get some strong earnings from industrial names like Rockwell Automation and speaking of the president s speech, we will have the first reaction from the white house right here on closing bell. A live interview with top economic adviser larry kudlow in just a few minutes from now. And we will ask him for some clarity on china and the status to have the trade negotiations joining us now for the hour is steve grasso from stuart frankel. Kind of a quiet market day here, but perhaps a little bit of upward bias for a while until just the last several minutes. I think its about everything that you just touched on i think its the majority was President Trump, the expectations coming out of that speak that speech at the Economic Club. Was he going to unveil anything that the market didnt already know so once you get through it and there was nothing new that the market could bite into, the market sells off sort of an anticlimactic feel to the whole day. So we had some a
Maximum outcome. So this lady here with the glasses, and after her well go to the gentleman. Hi im teresa wilmerhutchins, and im at the center for International Student dees studies for maryland. Given all the action in uukraine, what are your directions for u. S. Policy . I have some recommendations. I think we should support ukraine very strongly financially, i think we should support ukraine very strongly militarily. I think the International Community should do both of those things, those of us who know better about the financial problems ukraine faces. So we ought to be their support. We should also defend and beef up the defenses in the nato nations that border russia. So thats an important if were trying to deter the russians from doing what theyve been doing, that is, first invading crimea and then invading the southeastern part of ukraine and we dont want them to do that more, then we need to push back and we need to push back by reinforcing militarily the countries that are i
Battle of tal afar. Continuing on to serve in afghanistan afghanistan. And now h. R. , im going to butcher your title. So ill let you give it to me directly. Its Deputy Commander general for training and doctrine command for futures. And then the clunky long title is the Army Capabilities integration center. Im glad i didnt try to memorize that. Arcic. But what h. R. Is really that quite extraordinary combination of thinker and great military leader. There arent that many in our history. There are a few people like general jack galvin but its very few. So were really privileged i think to have somebody with us who has an extraordinarily distinguished record of command including command in combat. With an equally distinguished record as a thinker. He was also i should have mentioned up front a senior fellow at the iiss and remains affiliated with iiss as well. Its wonderful to be here with him particularly since as i said were old friends. The way we thought wed do this is begin it as a
Worldwide event. So were in a world war. And were up against a very sophisticated, capable enemy. The recruiting of foreign fighters, into syria and iraq, we have not found a way yet in my opinion to effectively stop or even slow it down. And it is more than a Law Enforcement, it is more than an fbi mission, but it certainly is an and an fbi mission. But just last week, we learned about a 47yearold air force veteran, who tried to join isis, and before his apprehension, tarod pugh worked for a number of american firms overseas including a u. S. Defense firm in iraq for whom pugh performed of avionics on u. S. Aircraft. We had several stories like that that appeared. Is there a magic bullet to try to get at that kind of problem . That fbi can do . There isnt a magic bullet. It is, to us, it is about a full court press making sure that we are that we have sources where we need them to be, that we have the capability, both the know how and Technical Capability to play in the online space w
Has gone on, diplomatic for example, and as part of a lot of international forums. Our government is trying to adopt some norms to get the chinese to go along with them. But it is my function the fbis to understand what theyre doing, develop the factings and then show our government heres what we see. I understand, you know, that the cyber threat is real and i think congress and the American People are recognizing that its real and its clear and present danger. I hope were doing everything that we can as members of congress to provide your agency as well as others with the resources to counter this threat. Because not just illegally downloading music but its of huge fear that if they engage in some form of cyber attack that it could cripple our critical infrastructure. The last thing i would want to see the the lights go out and your atm doesnt work, your navigation on your car and phone. I think it would cause a huge amount of panic in our country. You also mentioned something about t
