and then of course interest rates moving up to seven-year high on the back of that. neil: is that a worry for you the interest rate situation, the fed chairman this week, but before this started evaporating talking about that we re a long way from neutral hinting we ve got a long way to go. even the 3.2 something and change interest rates are still very very low by a long term standard and what we ve seen in the market with regards to the market anyway you have to see the 10-year get closer to 4% to really see investors move out of the stock market and really into other areas. neil: that s a worry it goes higher. just to that point you brought up jerome power the chairman of the fed there was a study that came out from jpmorgan that looked at markets dropped after he spoke and they calculated markets lost $1.5 trillion after he gave three speeches but overall obviously an up-tick so it s interesting just numbers. neil: guys thank you very much. see you soon again we re waiting for
roberts would report swearing in would be monday or tuesday. where does this all stand? a familiar face to all of you, and a breath of fresh air for us, because he can answer our dumb questions and put this in perspective, the former u.s. chief attorney andrew mccarthy, without revealing anything, you don t count your chicken before they hatch. we ve seen a lot of twists and turns here. is there anything that you enqvist that could disrupt this process? no, but what this process, i think, has taught me or reminded me, and hopefully reminded all of us, we don t know what we don t know. and when you re talking about if things go swimmingly well today, neil, it s going to be 50-48. the rule of law will defeat the mob by 50-48. anything unpredictable that happens, we have virtually no margin for error. neil: one of the things that s come up, too, is the closeness of that vote and that an
very difficult circumstance, and the way our witness, dr. ford, was mistreated by dianne feinstein and the democratic staff, outing her when she wanted to remain anonymous to share her story, it is shameful, shameful on the part of democrat s and the american public will see that, they will go to the polls and vote their conscience and i think we will gain seats in the united states senate. neil: you know, you probably heard your colleague maine senator susan collins had to say about that letter getting out that she suspects a number of folks but not senator feinstein. what did you make of that? well i think that susan collins, senator collins of maine is a very very well- respected woman, and she laid it out yesterday in her beautifully-done speech and show ed her support for judge kavanaugh and she did point out a few things that the democratic
there s enough blame to go around whether you like this process or not, but i believe harry started it. yeah, it s just so ugly and so sad that it got so divided that the country is so divided and what s going to happen, what s going to happen, who is going to be fired up for the midterms. neil: who is? who is more fired up? oh, my gosh, i m willing to think that those who are comfortable and happy are perhaps the winners in this, who are the republicans. neil: but if you re comfortable and happy you re not fired up. stay at home on the couch. and the democrats come out and angry in november. neil: i m looking at what the senator had to say and point the finger at mitch mcconnell and the simple majority and that technically started with harry reid. you wonder if a democratic president came in and democrats run the show and whether they ll remember this and back and
neil: all right, this is an interesting little poll here it s something that might be called like a passion gap, and there was a great deal of passion that picked up steam when you looked at the ongoing treatment that republicans found very very nasty when it came to judge kavanaugh and it shows you how important the mid-terms are now where there s very very narrow gap between republicans and democrats, where there used to be a casm between the two a little more than a couple of months ago. what to make of that with former clinton campaign chief strategist and best selling author of microtrends squared very very good book i might point out mark thank you for taking the time. good morning. neil: what do you make of that? i know these things are volatile when it comes to sentiment about who you d like to see control congress it can vary by the week , by the day, but the latest trends seem to show a tightening , the converse to that
