so to talk from washington, d.c. about an incident that happens, you're ultimately going to have some missing information immediately. >> so you're saying less from there tonight would be better? >> it's always good to have as many facts as you can before coming out with something. there's certain events that you simply can't explain. the randomness of this, think about the victims's families. how are they going to come to grips with the randomness, you're in a city of 8 million people and this is what happens on a beautiful sunny afternoon? >> you were mentioning being down there at the bike path, new york is the kind of town that you hear about something like this this that is this random and this massive, the calls and texts are coming in, and anyone could be downtown on a bike path in the afternoon. >> i got almost a real-time notice and there's still media coming in right now. but for the most part, looking back on the profile of the individual, we now know is from western florida. it really strikes me that this

think about the distractions in d.c. right now and it's very clear, the white house has been distracted by bob mueller, as they should be so, you know, it just -- timing on this is very challenging. at one point we debate whether taxes, you know, whether it's reform or cuts in the stock market, again, look to the iwm and tell me you don't see tax reform in this market. small caps have rallied off the hook, they're the greatest immediate beneficiary of this. you do think you have some fear. >> i agree, i do think the market is starting to price in a much higher likelihood yesterday, you saw the market's reaction to that phase-in plan, how dramatic that was, briefly but you do think that, you know, maybe six weeks ago, it was much lower than what's priced in now. if this isn't received well, i think the market will trade up >> we're at a market with record highs. valuations are stretched >> i think the chances of broad based reform are not great the problem for the republican side, they're pushing forward like they don't n
