President trump we expect to meet with president xi very shortly and we think we will meet him at the g20 and talking a very Good Relationship but look we had a deal with china and then they went back on the deal and they said we dont want to have four major points so we changed it but we had a deal with china. Unless you go back to the deal i have no interest. Reporter no interest unless they go back on the deal but china is digging in and the president also saying he believes Chinese Government to subsidize the companys even more before they wont pass on the cost of the tariff to the customers but a spokesman for the Foreign Chinese Ministry said if the president escalates this trade war through tariffs he does a the chinese will respond with determination and that spokesman refusing to confirm that president xi will meet President Trump at the end of this month at the g20 summit.

Jerry willis on the floor and i will not cry a river here but its still relatively close to recent ties. 2 off the s p 500 height, down 23 points, come on, why are you so worried . Last week was the best week at 2019 and yesterday we had a rally and i were down a bit and the traders are telling me its the refreshes and we just had this huge move and gone too far, too fast and overbought and now heres the results. Its been a lot of good news and the news on trade has been good and the news on growth and certainly the news of Interest Rates have been very good. The people out there suggesting that if we get disappointed on those Interest Rates that could be a problem but for right now ive got to say with the dow down 28, s p down three, nasdaq marginally lets talk about the aetna deal in stock down pretty substantially here reporting to the New York Post saying a federal judge could move to block the 69 billion acquisition of aetna affecting the stock year. The judge told the lawyers to cancel their Summer Vacation plans. I bet that went over well. Not to criticize the dj for the lack of monitoring the deal so why does the judge say hes going after this . He says the deal would raise prices and limited choices.

Twentyfour people came together to sign an agreement that created the stock exchange. Just the right elements coming together. It started when scores more people came together, just down the street and traded bonds that helped pay for the revolution, and the nation it created. It started in an office on the corner where the right people witnessed the telegraph and brought information and humanity together forever. It started with the markets, bringing together steel and buildings and silicon and medicine and rockets. We believe the possibilities of life and investing are greater when we come together.

Liz if you are watching us here yesterday at this very moment that was the scene yesterday all of midtown manhattan including time square went into high alert. The streets clogged with emergency vehicles and First Responders. Tenants of the active Financial Building which houses bnp usa streamed out onto the rainy streets of the business district. Today we have found out that the pilot known by the name of Tim Mccormick lost his life after crashing his helicopter on the roof of the 787 Seventh Avenue. Investors are still looking into the cause of the did the crash which is on top of that building, 752foot skyscraper for the federal Aviation Administration is now saying he was not license to fly in mondays Poor Visibility conditions. The building houses french banking giant bnp americas new york headquarters and its 2,000 employees. The crash occurred back in the middle of the trading day. The bank instantly kicking in emergency plans that were years in the making. The np. The ceo was sitting on a 3441 helicopter crashed 21 floors above and joins us now in studio. Thank you and im glad youre here safely. List, thank you for having me here. Liz its very sad about the pilot and were still waiting to hear more details and yet he lost his life. First, i would like to extend my condolences to the family of the pilot who died in this accident. As you said, we dont know and it is could have been the possibility that he tried to land the helicopter on the building to avoid more casualties. Liz right, there was a helicopter landing, correct . I believe so but he might have tried to make the situation better and avoid casualties. The other pointed i wanted to make is to extend my gratitude to all the First Responders an american cruise and security teams for the outstanding job they did. They managed the situation. Liz interesting. The Fire Department that deals with the broadway area in time square all of their trucks have a sign on the front that says never missed a show but when they me that, they mean they have never missed a fire to put out and they are the best. I need to hear from you exactly what happened at this time yesterday. Sitting at your desk and what happened, 33rd floor. One of the highest in the building and we were definitely felt it. Liz describe it. Its complicated to describe because you have normal, natural conversation and then you feel this shock. Without understanding what was going on the first direction, my position, was to get more feedback and more information and as you said we had over 2,000 people in the building and then a minute later it shows how reactive the team and where we got the instruction to basically evacuate the building which we had to conduct this operation as seamlessly as possible. When Something Like this happens basically elevators dont work anymore and then whoever is in the building has to take the stairwell. Liz what was the stair likes stairwells like . Very interesting. People were disciplined and were very calm. We prepare for this situation and we prepare quite often during the year and i think when something when it really happens i think it is where it probably pays off. Ironically, we had what they call a business continuing plan rehearsal this weekend and i think unfortunately in this unfortunate situation the team could not have been better prepared. Liz i do have to ask, you have what are called dual operations and their mimic exactly whats happening in this building but over in new jersey and that is why you were able to continue to conduct business but is it fair to say and said because of the horrible tragedy of 911 but that post 911 a lot of big Financial Companies prepared for something similar and is that how worked for bnp . All around we learn from past experiences. 911 was one of them. You explained it very well. Once we got the staff evacuated and accounted for in safe basically we got into the second phase which is called business continuation and then basically we relocate the essential staff and some of our recovery sites so we have around the metro new york area some of them being in the city and what was quite efficient we managed to relocate the key staff within 60 minutes of the incident. Critical because, as you know well, at this time of the day this is where transactions take place. Liz millions and millions. Yes, millions and millions of dollars and we have to continue to serve the clients. What im happy to report is we managed to better execute transactions across fixed income and equities and as well as clearing and activities which is quite critical for all liquidi liquidity. Liz we are very happy that you and all your employees, 2,000, safely and seamlessly evacuated. You are our neighbors here in midtown manhattan. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Liz let us know when youre back allowed into the building. Theyre still working at these other locations so good luck to you. Hopefully by tomorrow. Liz let us know. Of bnp paribas the site of firefighters rushing to the scene of a stress cover in new york city bring up very bad memories of 911 for many new yorkers. On capitol hill today comedian jon stuart was doing anything but laughing. He went to congress to push the house judiciary subcommittee on civil rights and Civil Liberties to reauthorize the 911 Victim Compensation fund. The former daily show host made his pitch in an emotional testimony and ripped members of congress who did not show up to this hearing. Behind me a filled room of 9,111th responders and in front of me, a nearly empty congress. Sick and dying they brought themselves down here to speak to no one. It is shameful. Its embarrassment to the country and a stain on his institution. We should be ashamed of yourself for those that arent here but you wont be because accountability doesnt appear to be something that occurs in this chamber. Liz 11 victim Conversation Fund provides healthcare and benefits to First Responders of the 2,000 attacks and many stricken by cancer. We are coming right back. Free a. Yeah, that too. I dont want any trade minimums. Yeah, i totally agree, they dont have any of those. I want to know what im paying upfront. Yes, absolutely. Do you just say yes to everything . Hm. Well i say no to kale. Mm. Yeah, they say if you blanch it its better, but that seems like a lot of work. No hidden fees. No platform fees. No trade minimums. A
