restructure its $70 billion debt, but the governor said the commonwealth will default on the july 1 payment, even if the government does intervene. here.e michelle now this was a motivating factor for getting the senate to vote on this. how much of a surprise is this? rico,er: usually, puerto when they make these announcements before, they had it on the same day or the night before a deadline. again, it was the senate's preliminary vote in the morning, they cleared the hurdle. it looked like the federal bill will pass, help out puerto rico, and at the same time, there was this editorial saying, i i will not be paying general obligations. what exactly is he saying? if the senate bill does go opposition, it does go through, is he allowed to default?

michelle: he is allowed to default. they can still not pay even if the feel is in place. -- the bill is in place. the governor has been saying for weeks he will continue paying for health and safety programs on the island, that is his first concern. he does not have a must money to pay all of those important programs and also pay investors. talk to us about the bill hatched in the natural resources committee, approved by the house, brought to the senate. what does it provide? achelle: it sets up seven-member control board that will oversee puerto rico's budget. they will be able to weigh in on the island spending plan. but more importantly, it allows for puerto rico to restructure its debt. looking to restructure $48 billion out of $70 billion of debt, and the control board will oversee this.

they will be the ones negotiating with creditors and with bond insurance companies rather than -- because right now, it is the governor and his team negotiating. that will shift to a control board. he will try and introduce an amendment. doing it with that is and how it would affect the bill? michelle: it is unclear what the amendment would do, and i am sure we will hear from him and he can explain why is it he is so frustrated by this bill and what improvements you would like to see. -- despiteribe out how dire the situation is, i was traveling with secretary lew, he said it was eye-opening to go to a hospital and see it on a day by day basis. these are serious consequences. michelle: the people have been feeling this for quite some time. the government is behind on $2 billion in owes to contractors and other people.

this affects local economy, and of course, you mentioned hospitals, there are hospitals that have closed, there is a unit where they need to pay for supplies with cash on delivery rather than through credit. this is the neonatal unit. david: we bring in senator bob menendez new jersey. he had the bill on the floor and now joins us from capitol hill. describe why you oppose this particular piece of legislation michelle was just describing here. diresland is in circumstances. it seems like things will get worse. it seemed like the island has been in difficulty for some time. last september, i raise these issues on the senate floor. i raise the alarm bell, the time to deal with this in a rational way. essa legislation does

have clear restructuring in the court, which is the only reason we are considering this in the first place. there are many obstacles, it creates a control board who will determine whether or not the government of puerto rico has done everything they should to have access to restructuring in the bankruptcy court, and it requires a super majority of that court, of which there is no representation for the people of puerto rico, to allow puerto rico to go through restructuring. that means five of seven votes must vote affirmatively to allow puerto rico to go to restructuring. which means a minority, three of seven, could actually stop restructuring for who knows how long regardless of where perrigo does. puertos a new -- of what rico does. it is a neocolonial thing where pretty ricoh has no say over what happens -- puerto rico has

no say on what happens. and the minimum wage projections for the workers in puerto rico. the senates past today, and there will be another vote tomorrow. at some point, if it does pass in full, it would arrive at president obama's desk before the bond payment deadline. it would take the very essence of these saortcomings of the promes bill and change it. this would add funding from pretty ricoh to the board. a clear pathway to restructuring. it would take away the super majority votes of restructuring. it would eliminate the provisions that would nullify minimum wage and overtime, projections for puerto rican workers. the way to prosperity for people in puerto rico is not to cut back on their earnings as they try to work. it would also have better

pension protections which, right now, there are virtually none here there are flaws, the these are essential. i don't think it is too much to allow the mystic -- the citizens in puerto rico to have that vulnerability. if i am given an opportunity, the majority leader has the floor closed, which means he is not allowing anyone to even speak. if i get that opportunity, i will speak about these issues, and i will offer a motion to take one of these existing amendments and offer mine in place. the bill doesn't already require residents of puerto rico, at least one, must sit on the control board? the control board has the power, would have the power is not enough creditors are agreeing to a restructuring plan. the control board can take this into court and go through a process which would force any investor holdouts to work

through this with the control board. sen. menendez: actually, as relates to the appointment, there is one person that must be appointed by the speaker whose principal residence and principal business must be in puerto rico. that does not come from the puerto rican people. it comes from the speaker. he can choose someone that has a principal business in puerto rico and doesn't even live there. that is one out of seven who will determine the future -- future of 3.5 million people. and the oversight board can create so many hurdles for puerto rico. still have to do with your creditors, go back to the table, go back to the table. they will be the only entity to decide, in their sole discretion , with a super majority vote, if there is a pathway to restructuring. vonnie: have you spoken to the governor? sen. menendez: he is not running

for reelection. he sees the emergency of the situation. he endorsed the legislation, the one i introduced. he said it is either this or nothing, but he said i would rather have this. the resident commissioner, representative of puerto rico in congress, he lost his election because he stood for this. 59% of the people in puerto rico , the territory's largest are against this bill. it speaks volumes that the people of puerto rico are against their elected representatives, who lost his race for governor, and the actual governor is not running. they don't want this bill. the july 1 deadline, which everyone keeps talking about, it calls for resurrected stay of any decision of any court or any legal action to december of last year. so any actions that would even take place if this is delayed

would be stayed as a result of the bills wording -- the bill's wording. the third circuit covers the island of puerto rico. vonnie: thank you for joining us from capitol hill. up next, stocks bouncing back from the massive brexit falloff. ♪

worst-case outcome. the message of course -- what we are seeing because of politics in the u.k., there is this cooling-off time, perhaps even between the u.k. and the eu and the united states, everyone is trying to make sure this goes more smoothly. in fact, maybe some opportunity for structural reform, and the markets are starting to factor that in. david: i appreciate you calling this cooling-off. very optimistic. how does that play out going forward as you look at your portfolio? julian: we have been advising clients to be buyers on this break. certainly in the u.s., we have dividend yield in the s&p 500 of 2.2%. 10 year yield below 1.5%. that type of relationship is very appealing. ultimately, stocks will break through the upper end of the range later this year. as well, sentiment have been

julian: it is. regardless of the outcome, we are going to get change. not necessarily a policy point of view come a because that is an open question. we will likely get a person with virtually no political experience, or the first woman president of the united states. from that perspective, we look at past changing elections, where you had generational changes or third-party candidates that have really provided a challenge. the marketsd is stay volatile with an upward bias. what the electorate becomes comfortable with their choice, the following year is very positive for stocks in general. vonnie: were the reports delayed by july 4? they will be out the following friday. will the fed stay on path to raise rates, or will that change everything? julian: no, it is off the table. we are looking at a hike in december.
