to be a disappointment. julie: perhaps one of the things weighing down the markets this morning. the federal reserve releasing the minutes for its last meeting this afternoon at 2 -- in advance of all of that, kind of a drift with u.s. stocks. dow's best performing three and the nasdaq being dragged down by biotech. so much for the rally yesterday in biotech stocks. declines are accelerating, down more than 2%, and that is weighing on the s&p 500. the dow is the out performer and i want to look at some of the best performers in that index. and got an upgrade to a buy mcdonald's not seeing much in the way of individual catalysts, but these are the stocks lending the most to the dow path gains right now. on hsbc there is a call that 10 year yields are doing ready to fall.

: an interesting call and he said we will see 1.5 percent on the 10 year. right now we are at 2.08%. he says the fed is not going to raise rates as quickly as anticipated and he talked about the likelihood of quantitative easing from the ecb and the ripple effect that will have around the globe. bloombergk in my terminal. this is the average forecast for the 10 year note at the end of the fourth quarter of next year. the forecast has been coming down, around to about 3%. one .5% far below those levels. a record is pretty good. he predicted prices in treasuries would keep going up and yields would keep going down and there were not too many people predicting that in 2014. alix: and he mentioned that the

bund would fall 10% and was focused on the ecb and quantitative easing there. it was a cool call. let's check in on bloomberg first world news with mark crumpton at the news desk. mark: we begin with the folks wagon -- the volkswagen hearing on capitol hill. these the top executive in the united states about the test -- about the omissions testing scandal. >> on behalf of my company and me personally, i would like to offer a sincere apology, sincere --logy for full flag and volkswagen's use of the testing regime. mark: they will not sell any of their 2016 diesel engine models in the u.s..

the outgoing speaker of the house of representatives, john boehner, is supporting kevin mccarthy of california to succeed him. he will cast a vote for mccarthy when the nomination vote gets underway today and again when the final vote is taken. mccarthy is expected to win but the conservative house freedom caucus is backing florida congressman daniel webster. that could deny mccarthy a majority during the final vote in three weeks. the top u.s. commander in afghanistan says at least 60% of the taliban and may be open to peace talks with the country's government. general john campbell made a push before the congressional committee for more u.s. forces to stay in afghanistan beyond 2016. that is when the white house wants to reduce troop levels to 1000. general campbell said that would reduce coalition training and counterterrorism operations. found thes have suspect to caused a locked down

he says he was wrongfully pushed out because of greedy executives. for more on the story, let's head to marry child who broke the story. the language in this lawsuit is just like bill gross's monthly news letter. what stuck out to you? mary: so much. it is colorful and you can delve into the whole thing and get an idea of what he sees as going down. he talks about a cabal of managers colluding against him, rounding up support against other hedging directors to force him out of pimco because they were greedy and ambitious and wanted not only his position, but his slice of the profit pool. now? my question is why this happened a while ago and he nus.been at ja mary: i have an armchair

psychologist theory about it. over the course of the year, he talked about how he wanted to show them who was boss and who was keen and wanted to demonstrate that with performance. what i think happened is people expected a ton of money to go out of pimco and follow bill. that really did not happen. i think he feels like he demonstrated in the market and to show the world he's the great investor he knows he is stopped i think he's trying to show that these guys are wrong to me, here's what they did and it was unethical and wrong. so in his view, he's trying to set the record straight. alix: for more insight, we are joined by a man who worked for pimco for 20 years. he now runs a hedge fund called armored wolf in california and joins us now from san francisco. great to have you talking about this topic. you have said in the past you are blind-sided that bill gross left pimco and you thought he was going to retire. what is your take on this

lawsuit? i think it is a sad day for the money management industry, for pimco, and for bill. bill is a guy with a great amount of energy, great intellect, very talented and and a type personality. he has been able to channel some of that ego and narcissism in a positive or action for five and a half or six and a half decades and i have to say the past three or four years have been a sad chapter and unfortunately, not the way bill should have moved forward toward the twilight of his career. a very illustrious career otherwise. you are at pimco from 89 until 2008 and mohamed el-erian was 'sere and left to run harvard

endowment and came back in 2007. you saw the two of them work together. what was your experience with the two of them? john: both of those gentlemen are incredibly hard-working. they are both extremely successful. they have both then rewarded. no one in this society would suggest they have not been rewarded in proportion to their excellence. now, for bill gross to kind of come back and start to say i should have been paid more or i'm going to donate these winnings to charity i think puts the emphasis on the wrong thing. i'm in the money-management business to serve clients, to do my best. it's not about compensation. obviously, there was tension at pimco. i have full confidence all the managers at pimco want to do what is best for their clients

and so did bill. it was a difference in opinion and simply stated, bill was not able to maintain the coalition necessary to lead a firm like that and not surprisingly was asked to step aside or forced out. he chose the latter. that's the way the world works. the story is as old as king lear and shakespeare. do you have a take on one of the points bill gross makes in this suit -- there was a difference between the burgers and bonds versus the cheesecake factory. -- you are spreading in a wide array. burgers and bonds are like i'm doing my thing fixed income, and we are sticking to it. dichotomy or tension

is as old as pimco itself. i was not at pimco in the late 80's or early 80's, but pimco used to be a corporate bond shop in the early days and then they expanded into futures, mortgages, international and bonds and commodities. at various times, equities. i would have to say bill's baby was always core bond management. i don't think in the 21st century, you can be a global money manager as a narrow core bond manager and therefore, the naturaln of pimco was on, even though pimco peaked a number of metrics in 2012 or 2013, the decline of pimco since

not say you can attribute it to any core specific decision, but it's a reality. if you are number one in a field of 5000 competitors, it's more likely than not after a year or two that you might end up eating number 2, 3, or four and slipped downward. that is inevitable. it's hard to find someone as talented as bill gross was when he was 29, 39 or 40 years old. by the time 2012 came along, pimco had to find a future and it was not with bill gross. thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us on this news that will gross is suing pimco for hundreds of millions of dollars over his ouster. and our thanks to mary childs, who broke the story. it is available on bloomberg.com. alix: coming up, we will tell

you what christine lagarde had to say about emerging markets, corporate debt and the global economy in an interview with bloomberg television. we will be right back. ♪

the specter of deflation and why central banks have lost control of inflation. she said she is not worried about inflation, she's worried about the lack of investment, which feeds into deflation. : it would be helpful to see inflation pickup so be based on solid data that they signal would be strong and monetary policy could evolve, but i'm more concerned about the lack of investment and factors willence encourage a bit more investment going forward. francine: of course these are linked but it is confidence that is the issue. i also talked about china and the chinese delegation will arrive in a moment and a lot of the participants want to get to the bottom of the turmoil we've

seen in the last couple of they have aake sure handle on the situation. that is something that will be discussed here at the imf. scarlet: francine lacqua, thank you for joining us. she spoke with christine lagarde, the chief of the imf. the conversation is how much firepower is left and how imf have? does the scarlet: are they way too overextended? scarlet:their balance sheets have not risen as much as some of the other central banks. coming up, we have a look back at the 2008 crisis. alix: we will hear about the behind-the-scenes negotiations that occurred with ben bernanke. ♪

scarlet: you are looking at a live picture from capitol hill

where house republicans are holding a secret vote to nominate house speaker. kevin mccarthy is said to be the favorite. phil mattingly will be joining us to give us the recap. a lot of people wonder who really wants this job. alix: that is a great point. ben bernanke and john mack, former chairman and ceo at morgan stanley were on bloomberg go this morning. they were asked to recount their experiences during the 2008 crisis. thebernanke: a lot of pressure turned on investment banks and one of the things the twodid was make the companies holding companies which were mostly symbolic. it was essentially ensuring the market that the fed would now be overseeing those companies from a supervisory point of view. morgan stanley and goldman sachs went out and got private investors and that was key to

strengthening. mr. mack: it did not happen right away. hank paulson and i had a conversation, a very forceful conversation of what they wanted morgan stanley to do, which if here members, i was not going to do that. they wanted us to sell the firm for two dollars a share. to jpmorgan. was tim whoess, it wanted that. david: would jamie dimon have bought it at that? had a fewwe conversations where tim cap saying call jamie and jamie didn't want to do it and i didn't want to do it, but when the head of the new york fed is pushing you to make the calls, you make the call. stephanie: you look at the last two years and the problems banks

have faced since these acquisitions, is it fair because when we look and say it was the fed that pushed the banks into these trades? not fair.that's to talk about to get us in this position -- when you just made money and the market is going your way and you can borrow or sell high and securitize and people are making 20% or 30% with their stock, someone's got to blow the whistle. they got carried away and leverage was wild. when you think about the leverage these firms had, including morgan stanley, it was absurd. a really interesting conversation there. seven years later, it takes a question, what shape are the banks really in mark regulation can beget new issues. we have credit squeeze planning to shell cares to -- to sell shares to raise capital. the whole point is you need money in your reserve to fight

against the potential crisis. scarlet: and the potential question has always been we know that this is happening -- is another capital raise necessary? you are cutting your dividend is another piece of that news that investors don't want to deal with and employees see it as a sign of i'm not going to get paid a bonus this year and my job is my bonus. alix: and where do they go and how does that bank lined up surviving? the bank system has been reformatted globally. we have much more coming up on the bloomberg market day. here what republican voters in iowa and new hampshire had to say about jeb bush. they were honest and brutal. ♪

scarlet: you are looking at a live shot of capitol hill where we just learned that kevin mccarthy is out -- he says he's

not the right man for the job. a startling announcement from capitol hill. and as a result, house republicans have postponed their election for speaker. phil mattingly joins us now. what more have you learned? : this literally just happened and folks are stunned on the aids side and lawmakers site. we have to some context around this -- this morning, kevin mccarthy made his pitch with paul ryan, a very -- very powerful person as his nominating member. he was planning as of 8:00 this morning to make this run. he had the votes, no question, he needed -- he had the votes he needed to become speaker. this came out of nowhere. they said everyone was sitting in stunned silence. kevin mccarthy informed members of the republican conference that he was not the right man for the job. this takes out not only the sure

front runner but guarantees the next speaker of the house, the current majority leader, and it leaves everything up for grabs. republicans have postponed leadership elections until a later date. they don't have the date -- that's how surprised everyone was. this means the next leader of the house of representatives is an unknown and whoever he or she is going to be, they will be an unknown commodity when it comes to a leadership position. really can't overstate how much of a surprise this is. as of this morning, kevin the votesot only had but had a nominating speech made on his behalf by paul ryan for this position. this is an immediate turn of events -- turn of events. scarlet: john boehner is set to stay on as speaker through the and of this month, so time is ticking down. what does that mean in terms of what republicans have to do to

get everything together? do they have enough time? phil: they have enough time but people who were never expected to step up will almost certainly have to. there were two other candidates in the race, jason chaffetz and congressman webster from florida who was representing the far right. in this race but the expectation -- the expectation i have heard is that someone else will get in at this point and that person will need time to form a campaign and start reaching out to members. they have time before john boehner steps down but things are really up in the air and they will need to move fast. the big question becomes can or will the establishment get behind either of the existing candidates or try to find someone else to push to the floor -- pushed to the forefront. there are a lot of calls for someone like paul ryan to run for speaker.

i think you will only see an increase -- both of those men it rejected those calls and i have not gotten any sense they would want to run at any point during their careers. those calls will increase. it's not just a lot to shake out over the next couple of weeks, but really over the next minutes and hours. alix: the backdrop of this is that we are going to hit a debt ceiling of the beginning of november. onit really puts the onus the speaker to pass and raise the debt ceiling limit. that throws that scenario in jeopardy now. : that was already a tenuous situation and this increases it, not only because they don't know who the next beaker is, but that next speaker will have to make a deal with the hard-line conservatives. the white house has already said that they will not negotiate on an increase in the debt ceiling. jason j fits this morning

pledged he would never pass a clean debt ceiling resolution. there would have to be some kind of corresponding cuts. it is presumed anyone who comes out here will have to have the same position. that means there is a break and no one knows how this negotiation is going to work out going forward. lasttary jack lew saying week was the deadline and there was hope that speaker john boehner before he left town would try to get this through. over the last few days, everyone i have talked to both on the lawmaker and aids side have set absolutely not -- this conference will not allow a clean debt ceiling increase. that means we have no path forward and that's not even including the deadline for the highway bill and the spending bill deadline on december 11. there's a lot of stuff going on right now and an immediate potential crises right around the corner. forlet: a huge to do list

whoever the next speaker is. phil mattingly, thank you very much. up on the more coming bloomberg market day. we will be right back. ♪

use it for inventory financing. they take the copper, go to hong kong and say let me borrow at a 2% rate. a bring the money back to china and their interest rates are internally 14% or 15%. it's the greatest deal in history and it could be massive. alix: how much of that is used for financing versus and demand? of it could be used for financing purposes. that could be more than 20 metric tons. they said the carry trade is between one million -- $1 trillion in $2 trillion. it's only about five percent or 7% being used for this. it could be massive but the question is -- chinese demand is not what you think it is because copper coming in is not being used to make pipes or wire. it's being used for financial purposes. all of the analyst models rip

them up because they are worthless because everything you thought about china is wrong. tracking the moves of copper is not a great gauge of the macroeconomy. : because this is so massive, it works everything else going on. nickel and indonesia -- the world's biggest provider of the metal -- the price of nickel has gone down 60% because the carry trade in china has been unwinding and it's making analysts go nuts. this metal is there and has an unused. we need to figure out what is chinese real demand versus financial demand. happeningwhat ends up when the carry trade unwinds for copper, how much will that flood the market? : that's the biggest question. one analyst says no one understands china and this is spread among thousands of traders and no one knows how big it is.

the 90's and it had a huge impact on copper prices. do we know how long they are going to hold off? could it be months or years? ken: it has been years. as it starts to go commie see the valuation of the yuan and interest rates start to drop as a stoke the economy. while you think it might be good for metals, it is that because it causes the unwind of this trade. morgan stanley said a deficit next year of 350,000 tons. all of those are hogwash is what you are saying. are saying it's based on what chinese demand -- ask this question -- how much is going to the financial trade? nobody has an answer. we know it's big and we know the carry trade knows how much money is being used and the only way

you can bring it in and out of china is to use financial means to have something back at. i have copper, gold, and oil all for this. play devil's advocate, we have seen rates for things like wire rod mills which you use for industrial uses. if we have seen higher operating rates, you cannot store it and wait because it does have a shelf life. is there still some underlying demand? is underlying demand. when it comes to china, 77% is in the unknown category. basically 77% lost copper right now? ken: we don't know where it is. scarlet: how do consumers plan their purchases of copper? ken: i knew a guy who grew his

rate. his operating rate was 5% because with 200,000 metric tons, he can borrow so much more money to put into the carry trade. it is basically free money for these guys. alcoa is reporting today. you have the end-user company, the stuff going to make cars and you have the mining company. ken: aluminum prices are down 20%. the business everyone was looking at -- it's like the good part. and itm prices are down will be interesting to see what the revenues are and earnings. a lot of people have said everyone is focused on the split and don't care about earnings. love the fact that they call it the value added business. that would suggest the upstream

business is the no value business. alix: kind of because they have all of this aluminum and don't ship it out. scarlet: how good is it to invest in a useless business? : one of the companies that split, the good business is down 30% and the bad business is down 70%. alix: so they are just going to have to wait it out until the cost valuation becomes so intense -- cost deflation rises and they can't produce any more. scarlet: thank you so much. coming up, house republicans will be delaying their vote for a new speaker as kevin mccarthy backs away from the job. we will have the very latest. scarlet: he says he's not the right man for the job. ♪

alix: welcome back to the bloomberg market day. i'm alix steel. house republicans have postponed elections for new leader. the front runner, kevin mccarthy, says he's not the job. speaker for the the reaction in stocks has been immediate and severe. the minute the news broke, you saw stocks fall off, the idea that we have the debt ceiling limit coming that will be hit on november 5 -- what happens if we have this uncertainty and john boehner is stepping aside? scarlet: it does everything into question and you have a leg higher in the vix. you can see how the vix has shot up to its session highs. this is not a huge move when you look at it in the context of how the vix has done this year, but this is where we are at right now -- above the average for the year, but still notable that it climbed on the announcement. let's turn now to john heilemann

who has been tracking this development. this was a shock. john: correct. l politics. the republicans who went into that room did not expect to hear that and everyone has emerged in a state of confusion about what is driving mccarthy. questions about whether he would be able to get the votes or not but as of 24 hours ago, most people said he was the likeliest next speaker of the house, so there's some question about whether political considerations, personal considerations or what may have driven him to make this announcement but it does throw the leadership question into a state of chaos. what the medium to long range of fact is is really unknown, but the first thing house republicans will be looking for is some kind of consensus candidate to step forward. mccarthy had a couple of

challenges, neither of whom were likely to command rod support. i think there will be a lot of pressure now on paul ryan. has made it he clear he did not want the job. john: he made it clear he did not want the job until this happened. a lot of people thought ryan was a perfect candidate when boehner step down. he's well-respected by the conservative caucus and republican house. he decided not to run and that cleared the way for mccarthy. with mccarthy now not running, i think there will be a lot of people in those two caucuses -- the more establishment wing in the more conservative wing who will be looking for a unifying figure to pull the republican caucus together. the obvious person to go back to is paul ryan. i'm not saying he will get in but i have no doubt there will be a lot of people calling him on the phone and saying we know you don't want this job, but you

need to take this job to get our house in order -- not to punt too much there. the surprise from the republican establishment members -- one member saying he doesn't know why kevin mccarthy announced he was dropping out and pete sessions saying he does not know when speaker elections will be called. it seems like across the board everyone doesn't know what happens. are not many things in politics, especially in leadership elections, were genuine surprises occur -- virtually all the players involved did not expect it to happen and this is one of those moments and you are hearing from those house republicans -- they are not playacting. they are genuinely puzzled as to why mccarthy has made this decision. this is very much breaking news. i do not know the answer. i think that's true of virtually everyone in a house republican caucus. scarlet: how do the democrats

respond to this? john: they sit back, smile and have another beer. there's no response required except that it's great to see house republicans in disarray. alix: but president obama is going to need them to raise the debt limit. john: john boehner is not going to leave office for a while. one of the things we thought there was a chance or might try to do before he left was to get the debt ceiling increase and he works as a pretty good partner with president obama. you could see more pressure on boehner to get that done before he leaves. for "with in tonight all due respect." we will be right back. ♪

>> kevin mccarthy is speaking right now after saying he will not be running for house speaker. ande had our conference, calls into the district.

i don't want to make voting for speaker a tough one. i don't want to go to the floor and went with 220 votes. and they do best thing for our party right now is that you have 247 votes on the floor. we have be 100% united. let's put the conference first, because that's where it is. we have been -- i've been talking with a number of members who have been thinking about this throughout the week, trying to see we can get this. i just think it's best we have a new face. that was not helpful. could have said it much better. the benghazi committee was

created for one purpose, to find the truth on behalf of the families of the four dead americans. i should not be a distraction from that. that is part of the decision. [indiscernible] no. no. come on. i think the conference should be able to decide, thank you very much. kevin mccarthy, presumed to be the man running for the house speaker position. just now, he abruptly dropped out of the race. what struck we was held relaxed he was. >> he was happy. >> he was calm, he was relaxed. he could not that -- it could have said it better but he said it might have been part of the decision as well

when he started to politicize the benghazi theory. we are joined from capitol hill. what was your take on that conference? >> he said he felt good about the decision. and look like the weight of the world was pulled a look -- off official there's. his key point was this. fact of the matter is, he could not be a like he had 100% of the conference. he felt like he had the votes to win today during the conference meeting, but then he would have to fight for this on the floor on october 29 and then, if he just aswould've had many problems in the conference as john boehner did. he decided in the wake of concerns by 45 lawmakers that said they would not vote for him, he decided to step down. i want to give you some color from behind the scenes. this morning he had a nominating speech made for him by paul ryan.

up until 45 minutes ago, house wererence members expecting that kevin mccarthy would be the person they voted for today. they had a closed-door meeting that started at noon. they were talking normally and kevin mccarthy came in and decided to talk in -- deserted to start talking. every expected it to be his final pitch for the vote, but then he told them he was not the guy and that he did not want to buy the conference. he felt like his elevation to speaker would be divisive based on what yet seen and pulled himself out. stunned in -- stunned is the word i have heard over and over again. the big question is, what happens next? kevin mccarthy said he will remain as majority leader, but who will be the next speaker is anybody's guess right now -- anybody's guess right now. a shorter-term congress -- a

shorter-term member of congress from florida -- there is an expectation right now that somebody else will rise. somebody else will have to rise. paul ryan has already said he will not run for speaker, no matter who asked sam. dass asks him. him.ks >> leaving the gop and complete disarray -- in complete disarray. >> josh earnest coming out saying that gop lawmakers must serve the public and not the right wing. it shows they are not really ready to lead. if they don't, that's the problem. the democrats are seizing on this opportunity by looking forward to the 2016 presidential election. >> we do want to head to the markets because we are seeing a reaction. you just heard philip say

now or mainstay mystery. who will it be? the market does not like mystery. investors want to know that they can predict what's going to happen next week, next month, next year to the extent that they can. stocks already had a mixed town today and get a peg lower after this announcement. we also have to point out the other factors that are in place today. it is the failure of the s&p 500 to move above its 50 day moving average. take a look at this terminal because we have seen three times now, the s&p 500 make an attempt to climb toward 2000 post the august selloff and fail each of those times. it appears to be happening once again. what is selling out the most, health care, information technology, energy, the commodities.

within health care is selling off once again after a short-lived rally yesterday and we are seeing the massive biotech index fullback once again. some of the big cap biotech companies that have been so volatile in recent days have had a negative tone and a falling once again today. companies like amgen and biogenic are falling apart. thank you for that check of the vicious reaction of the market to this uncertainty in washington. of there other top story day, bill gross is suing pemco spoke with the form -- about the work environment was like undergrowth -- under gross. >> i have full confidence that all of the managers at pemco wanted to do what was best for the clients and so did bill. there was a difference in

opinion and sibley stated, bill -- and able to maintain simply stated, bill was not able to maintain the coalition to lead a firm like that. not surprisingly, he was asked to step aside. he chose the latter. scarlet: eric joins us now with more. you have a relation with bill gross. you have been pouring over the lawsuit. what has been your take away? is from the moment you open these 19 pages, it is breathtaking. references to the the cheesecake factory style of firm that he alleges mohamed el-erian wanted to build. it harkens to the monthly investment outlooks he used to write for pimco. it has to be one of the but -- greatest opening sell those in the history of white-collar

civil litigation. " driven by the power of lust and greed, a cabal of pimco managing directors plotted to drive bill gross out of their behavior and it must be exposed." the choice of nouns, verbs and modifiers is amazing. as you have pointed out by saying this is about hundreds of millions of dollars, this is about the money, sadly. not quantifyoes how much he wants. >> he says he is owed a pro ofer share of millions dollars and claims that he was owed the share of the $250 million bonus he expected for that year. at the very least, we can talk about that. the numbers in general and as we have begun to learn, are kind of insane.

he made something to the order of $300 million in 2013. there is reference to a $50 million bonus that mohamed el-erian was owed for a single quarter. believe it was 2012. -- itust sort of establishes the context for the dispute. i would add that in addition to money, there is something philosophical about it. >> reputation. >> yes, but not just reputation. bill gross says that become all -- that the ball -- that the cabal, to use his term, went from being a safe management firm that he cofounded into something more high-octane and jacked up on risk that could milk investors for higher fees. >> this all goes back to mohamed el-erian and his departure and the leak that happened at the

time and bill gross's allegations -- reluctance to cover it up. he did not want to do the dirty work that other managers were asking him to do and that made them hate him. it was reading as if it was some kind of drama of corporate intrigue. mapping out what happened when mohammed el-erian left. >> he accuses a current managing director of leaking the story to the financial times and sets really speaking to the wall street journal and claims that there is documentary proof that he admitted to speaking to reporters of those news organizations. it goes back to the conspiracy mindset. let's not forget how passionate gross is and how seriously he takes his job, whether it was at pimco or currently at janis.

here is what he had to say. >> i did not like how i left. i did not care for the aspersions that somehow i might have lost my touch. i don't think i lost my touch. i'm in this seven days a week and 18 hours a day. -- hopefully the performance numbers speak to competence. >> he deeply -- he is clearly deeply passionate about what he does and he is protective of his reputation and that underlies a lot of what is going on here. not just the money involved. i urge everybody to read it. is making its way around wall street because there is some stuff nobody has ever seen before like a copy of the profit-sharing plan that pimco ran together with its managing directors. one of the important things to note, we have made efforts to

reach mohamed el-erian and dan apperson and andrew balls. we do not have a comment. hopefully that will be forthcoming and we will reach everybody named. coming up in the next 20 minutes, hillary clinton is taking on wall street. we will tell you about what she wants to do when it comes to high-frequency trading. alix: it's a sector that has seen some of the biggest lawsuits, but -- how does that impact executive pay? scarlet: a former chairman stop by to talk about the 2008 crisis. we will bring you the highlights. ♪

an impact on the dollar, but the fed has placed a lot of weight on the impact of foreign policy on the dollar. i remember when my take a talked about currency and every buddy refuted and said that the fed should do anything else -- i don't think that has changed. i think we are seeing some repercussions. the u.s. is more open now that in the past, but that should not deter them from doing what is right for the u.s. economy. i think the u.s. economy is right for a rate hike. >> you will see some chinese delegates, what is your question to them? >> we had a board meeting in hong kong when i was in china just a you weeks ago. was that yesi got they would be some recognition and some action lag in seeing the problem unfolded reacting to it.

recognition that there are serious deadlines coming up and no clear path forward in the house republican conference. >> there is definitely some scrambling going on behind the scenes. what we notice when kevin mccarthy was speaking was how relaxed and relieved he looked. the only tension we saw was he was -- 20 -- was when he was asked about benghazi. >> that was what raised concerns over the past couple of weeks. he recently said that the biggest a compliment of this house republican conference was the benghazi committee because it was able to drive secretary of state hillary clinton's numbers down. obviously the conference speaker said the point was not political but to find out what happened -- what went wrong in the death of those americans. that caused a lot of problems but what i'm hearing now is that is not the sole reason but it may have played a role and let into the idea that maybe kevin

mccarthy was not the guy to unite a 247 person conference, maybe not even get a full 218. >> thank you so much. on the bloomberg market day, as we wait for the fed minutes coming out in nine minutes, we will spend a couple of minutes revisiting a key fed moment from the past. >> here what ben bernanke had to say about the levels. >> there is a huge difference between the u.s. recovery in other countries. to europe six years longer. in terms of the income distribution, we can go with ais at any length, this is long-term trend that's been going on for 30 years or more and is the latest in things like globalization, technology, things that will not reverse. ♪

barney frank for example, who had been so critical of bad bank behavior, during the financial crisis specifically run mortgages, would you say it was barney frank who was promoting this as part of the american dream? >> it was not party alone. with -- it was not barney alone. subprime lending is positive because it proves homeownership. it was a goal and a lot of people were pursuing and in doing so, some bad practices were not taking care of. >> it goes back in the 90's. to answer your question, at least those specific things have been addressed pretty significantly. i've had a lot of complaints about mortgages being too hard to get now. the other thing we have done, we the regulators and the country is made the system a lot stronger so capital in the banks is way higher in the system is much more resilient. >> joining us now is mike mckee.
