Worth of wine a year. Record after record in till no pullback for stocks. In fact, the dow may move up a little when trading begins today. All the indicators at or near record highs. Investors ignoring politics, focusing instead on the growing economy and growing corporate profits. Dfm process, money talks on espn jemele hill told her fans to boycott advertisers, corporate disney. She suspended two weeks. Call the president a white supremacist and nothing happens.

Tell us please, hillary. Stuart, californias wildfires have cost the state an estimated 2 billion with the expensive wildfire season on record. This fire ripped through californias valuable wine country. It had hundreds of vineyard, 10 people we know have lost their life. 1500 buildings have been damaged, but the damage to buildings and homes is not the biggest price tag for california. The smoke and fire hitting the vineyard in napa and Sonoma County is putting wineries in jeopardy. This is right in the middle with a lot of wineries are replacing just a single acre with as much as 25,000 to several homes in the area. We will keep you updated with the latest. Hillary coming thank you indeed. Lets get to politics. A group led by Newt Gingrich taking out an ad in the hill, the newspaper, to cause tax cuts now. One of the people, Charlie Kirkwood turning point u. S. A. Tax cuts. You are for, but forget tax reform. Im for reform but keep it simple. Its read by members of congress, so i hope we get tax reform. Stuart you dont think were going to get it . Im not optimistic here they dont work hard enough to bring people together. They take the whole month of august because they need a break after not doing anything. Trade to you in the other signatories, all you want is just cut tax rates in the tax cuts will pay for themselves in future growth. We would be satisfied with tax cuts somewhat. With that tax reform like what ted cruz is talking about able to fill your taxes on a card. I want to be correlated with spending cuts. I dont think we should add another deficit. I hope im wrong, but you know look, i will take tax cuts if it is coupled with reasonable reform, but also spending cuts. You and i both know we are dealing with Mitch Mcconnell and paul ran that have not been able to even get the most common than steel and health care. Tree into i dont think the Republican Party can come up with 50 votes in the senate for cutting taxes or tax reform are putting everything onto a single postcard. The vote think they are. Encompasses tax record, its difficult to disagree. The democrats opposition to even the most incremental tax cuts shows they would rather see this country go through difficult times than seek him succeed. How could you possibly be against repatriation. Its almost guaranteed Economic Growth, guaranteed economic progress that they are opposing every single turn. I hope the Republican Party for the sake of the political future. Trade to thank you indeed. Ive got this for you. Fashion designer donna karan appeared to defend Harvey Weinstein. Hes a movie mogul accused of decades of sexually abusing women. He questioned whether women who displayed themselves a certain way are asking for it. Liz is now walking back.

If you engage in this kind of workplace harassment you are pure evil and we should have nothing to do with you, that they are not saying that with Harvey Weinstein because he is giving them too much money. They probably dont have it to give back to him. Stuart in a similar note, sidebar question.

I cant answer it yes or no because the constitution only protects freedom of expression from the government. It does not protect you from your employer. Your employer is regulated by the state in which the employment occurs. Some states, new york, new jersey, california protect employees expressive conduct in the workplace as long as it doesnt interfere with the work product. Other states like texas, as jerry jones has been out front on this, do not afford that protection unless the workplace is on by the government. Question, who owns the dirt underneath Cowboy Stadium . Who owns giants stadium, now Metlife Stadium . The government. Therefore, freedom of expression is protect them interferes with the product. Waiting for the team. Stuart you are saying you could argue legally they can suffer consequences of their freespeech action . And farmers could demonstrate to an arbitrator in the agreement Players Union is taking a materially interfered with the work product, which is winning games.

There was a time when everybody owned a piece of ge. The winners always performed you. Transfer they are not bringing good things to life. Thats my oneliner. Prognosis for the most important product. Who is the admin for that . Ronald reagan. Before he was governor. Stuart i remember that. Keep going. Reminiscing.

Stuart i want more in the nfl in an protest with a very special guest joining us now, nfl hall of famer joe namath. And not to have you on the show commissary. Jerry jones, owner of the cowboy says you dont stand, you dont play. Do you agree with that rule . Well, i agree we should respect our flag and our country certainly, but i think weve lost sight of what the initial protest was about in the impression of the race, the black race. The thing is should, would a, coda it shouldve been handled early on. In the workplace, and the people that run the business have the right to say dont do that in here. Again, somebody comes to work in here right now protesting about something, do it on your own time. Millions upon millions upon millions of people pay more attention or take attention to the disrespect of the flag in the country. There are people who arent aware of the impression unless youve walked in the black man shoes, you may not feel bad. Stuart how do we get out of this . Is is to be getting worse and worse although everybody stood last night on monday night football. Espn which is enhanced in, getting worse. How do we get out of it . A continuing to improve the treatment of people generally come a respect for one another, love for one another and the unjust treatment was seen in the past in some cases need to be correct it. Cant snap your fingers. How do we get these protesters stop . Stop the hatred, the anger. The ownership has the right to tell the players, dont do it in here. Respect the players. Stuart you are in favor of the jerry jones ruled. You dont stand, you dont play. As mr. Jones role in i believe the work place, and the Football Players, sportsmen, ownership, coaches, lou holtz, the great notre dame coach expressed it clearly you can go ahead and protest every issue you think is worthy of it. But not in here. We have a focus here we have to do this together. We have to focus on something. Dont take this locker room, dont take this stage we are performing on and use it for something that is outside. Stuart if someone has outside the world of football, born and raised in england in the world of soccer, i simply want to turn on espn and watch the game. I dont wantnk i speak for 90 f football fans, dont i. . I hear you. Again, whenever you recognize the videos that have been shown us some unjust treatment to a specific race that we have seen, you want to step up their and not walking in the shoes again, okay that have been. Excuse me, let get it to stop happening. Stuart youve got a charity.
