.com. script has a concert scheduled in shanghai in november. as we mentioned earlier as of today, the volcker rule, the part of the dodd-frank regulation that curtails risky proprietary trading by banks, is in full force. after five years, is dodd-frank fulfilling its original promise? >> if a large financial institution should ever fail, this reform gives us the ability to wind it down without endangering the broader economy. rules to will be new make clear that no firm is somehow protected because it is too big to fail, so we do not have another aig. betty: some lawmakers are saying no. texas republican jeb hensarling wrote an op-ed yesterday. too big to fail institutions have not disappeared.
1:08 pm
big banks are bigger, small banks are fewer, and the financial system is less stable. meanwhile, the economy remains in the doldrums. with me now is fund manager thomas brown who invests exclusively in financials. good to see you as always. i know you have never been a huge fan of dodd-frank, but are the republicans being too hard on its effectiveness? >> i don't think anyone can tell us whether we have two big to fail. if the conditions are that right , that an institution is that threatened, it will be a systemic problem again, and we may have to do the same thing, which is to save the financial system, not save an institution, but the financial system. mark: what are the bank ceos telling you? >> wah, wah, wah. betty: we cannot make our targets -- go ahead. >> it depends on the size of the
1:09 pm
institution. the largest banks are crippled by the regulation, stress tests. the small banks, less than 10 million, are complaining that they are being held to the standards of a $10 billion bank and should not be. yesterday, jack lew, thesury secretary, marked anniversary of dodd-frank and said while the regulation of all nations really 7000 banks was improved by reform, only the 31 largest firms, those the $50 billion in assets, are subject to enhanced credential standards. >> he is true about that. bank, for$3 billion example, you have a chief credit officer. now you are examined and the regulator says you need a chief risk officer as well. so now they are forced to add another player. that is not required of a bank until they get over $10 billion.
1:10 pm
it is the best standard so they apply to the smaller's. mark: if not dodd-frank, then what? i am sure you are not of the opinion that there should not be some regulation, but in your best guess, what would that look like? >> a lot less. it requires the regulators to issue 400 rules. five years later, they have only issued 60% of those, only proposed another 20%. the law is so complex that the regulators after five years cannot propose the other 20% of the rules. we have to simplify the system. betty: you hit the nail on the head at the beginning. ifreally do not know dodd-frank has worked until we get into the same situation as 2007. -- weare many of these could argue until we are blue in the face about whether they are necessary or not, to rigorous or
1:11 pm
not. we will not know until we have to pull those triggers. >> that's right. is boeing too big to fail? they are.gue they are not in any financial difficulty, but the conditions could come about that we would not let such a large u.s. defense contractor fail. you don't know the circumstances. we can say the banking industry has a lot more capital, and we can say -- betty: $600 million more in capital. >> don't talk to me about whether that is too much. know the old saying, you do not wait until it rains to fix the roof. if we do not know whether this is working unless we have some other domino affect of a financial crisis, the fact that we have not had one in five years, what does that say? roof thatonly have a we have any astrodome covering. strong protection. the big banks essentially
1:12 pm
doubled their capital ratios from 2008. betty: what would you change? .> the volcker rule none of the problem we had in the financial system had anything to do with the volcker rule. that is a fluke of nature. betty: prop trading had nothing to do with it? >> not for the banking institution. you may be talking about aig, but not for a regulated bank. , it is toss tests elaborate other process. what we found in the last cycle is modeled do not work. we had a risk-adjusted model that said he only needed half of the capital applied to mortgages that you need for a typical loan. that was not a good idea. so we are thinking the stress test are more exact than they ever can be. we are just bending too much time and money on it. betty: great to see you, thank you for talking by -- stopping

mark: welcome back to the bloomberg market day, i'm mark crumpton. let's get another check on the markets with julie hyman. julie: stocks are falling to the lows of the session, particularly the dow jones. all three major averages down. the s&p down half a percent. i want to point at some headlines on apple, reporting earnings after the close of trading today. all of its says store services are up and running again. its online store, icloud services were malfunctioning, now are up and running again. of course, we anticipate those numbers after the close. one of the most important numbers will be iphone sales. 48.8 million units is what analysts are looking for the company to have shipped last quarter. i mentioned the dow as the underperformer.

an advisor to quest investment looks at the equal weighted index of the nasdaq 100 and s&p. instead of the way they are calculated now, where the larger companies have a bigger weight in the indices, this is as if every stock had an equal weight. the argument he makes is, if you look at it this way, it shows the largest stocks in the major averages are driving the gains this year. he sees this as a bad sign that the smaller companies are not following suit. basically, we made the records in these various averages and that we are seeing worse performance, than if you looked at them on a market-weighted basis. in his eyes, not a good sign for where we are going from here. stocks pulling back at least today. mark: julie hyman, thank you.
1:42 pm
has begun agress 60-day put into of debate over the iranian nuclear deal. they kicked off with a senate debate in washington including speakers former connecticut senators and the former director of policy planning at the state department. ambassador risa joins us now from the u.s. capitol in washington. welcome back to the broadcast, thank you for your time. the name of the panel was called blocking iran's pathways to the bomb. was it your contention and that of others who spoke today, that the deal that was negotiated between iran and the world powers, does not do that? will not speak for the other panelists but there are a number of series questions and concerns that arise out of the text that has been released so far. especially concerning compliance, verification, and
1:43 pm
the ability to reverse course, should iran because cheating. so is this about trust, or about transparency? no international agreement in my experience is about trust. as president reagan famously said, trust but verify with the emphasis on verified. it has to be about transparency, and the greater challenge for the united states and for our allies and friends around the world is how do you solicit transparency from a regime that has been a master at cheating and retreating on his nuclear program for more than a decade. very mind all of its other troublesome activities in the region supporting terrorism and terrorist groups more broadly. mark: mr. ambassador, the united states does deal with other nations that could be considered rogue in their thinking, the way they treat their own people, the way they treat their neighbors. why does this deal with iran
1:44 pm
make such a difference from some of the other countries that we have dealings with? >> in gary, it doesn't be read i wrote a book actually about negotiating with terrorists groups around the world after i left the state department. thedifference here is dimensions of the issue, having to do with nuclear weapons. the sense that the agreement does not curtail iran's nuclear weapons ambition, but rather places it on hold for a limited period of time, while empowering them and enriching them with the destabilizeead and -- spread terror and destabilize allies and friends in the region. is different from other agreements, other bad actors that we have negotiated with over the years. mark: do you have confidence that our intelligence agencies , that they will be able to keep eyes on the iranians, and if
1:45 pm
they are living up to the agreement, whether or not they are cheating? you should ask because that is one of the first questions that was asked of the panel. the answer by the most senior iaea inspector on the panel was that it really depends on the scope of the cheating. not every facility is going to be as large as the one we saw at natanz. given the size of iran, given the delay that is mandated by this agreement of up to 24 days before the inspectors are allowed to visit a site, there should be real concerns about our ability to monitor compliance. mark: you mention president reagan a moment ago. if historical context means anything, the threat to the united states from the former soviet union was greater, and we did make a deal with them on nuclear weapons, nuclear arms, the start treaty and such.
1:46 pm
could you give me an historical parallel between that and what is going on now, and how the united states was able to come if you will, keep eyes on the soviets and make sure they were not cheating? >> you are absolutely right. the threat from the soviet union was far greater than the threat from iran, but there was a symmetry to the negotiations with the soviet union. we each had nuclear weapons. if the russians cheated, we could go back and build more weapons. with iran, it is an asymmetric threat. therefore, we need a broader strategy toward curtailing or constraining iran's behavior in the region. president reagan never deviated from his belief that the soviet union was an evil empire. he spoke out continuously about human rights, religious freedom and the dignity of the individual, especially in places like the soviet union, where people did not have the blessings of america's freedom. i am waiting to hear from the
1:47 pm
administration what the larger policy is reporting those people inside and outside iran who want a democratic representative iran that respects the dignity and human rights of its own people, and believes it should be at peace with his neighbors. we have not seen that from the obama administration so far. mark: is it your contention that perhaps we should go back to the drawing board and written his deal up? if you were negotiating the deal, what would you like to see? who havek all of us been in similar circumstances understand that it is always easy to negotiate in the abstract. the fact is, there are always ways in which any deal can be strengthened. for this one, the compliance measures are the eyesore for me when i look at it. also, the limited time period. eight years for some items, 10 years for others, in terms of constraining behavior. i would like to see iran have no
1:48 pm
nuclear weapons capabilities. that was the policy of the bush administration. whether that can be achieved or not, we don't know. but i think there are some things that congress will have to examine and make a decision on whether or not the second -- they can support the agreement. that is it your belief this is a bad deal and threatens u.s. national security? >> i think it is a flawed deal. i would like more time to examine it, especially to hear the testimony from the experts, and personally to get access to some of the secret documents and sidebar agreements that are part of this agreement, before i can make a full assessment. i think congress needs to play its constitutional role and review this agreement very carefully. formeritchell reiss, department director of policy planning. all was a privilege to have you

1:54 pm
one that now appears to be tied hack of a headache -- big bank. when the hacker broke, what we heard from jpmorgan is, the russians did this. we have information that this was perhaps an overseas thing that happened. developing,this is it looks like there is even more to the story than that. as we go through the indictment and see more details, we will see there is more to the story than just the russians getting in. it appears to be a criminal enterprise. the people arrested today were not arrested for the hack of jpmorgan. they were arrested, some of them not all -- we want to be careful here -- or setting of this scheme with the aid of information related to or linked to various hacks, going in and getting information from banks. mark: the story we have on bloomberg.com and the bloomberg
