stocks ended mostly lower yesterday. it has been on a tear and consumer confidence heading an 18 year high this month. let's start right there with consumer confidence my friend. you have to go back to the.com bust to find consumer confidence that has been higher. right before the bus. there on the tear. possibly in the markets maybe even the economy. 4.2 percent. eighteen year high's. this is unique to the rest of the economy. i think this economy is still has legs in it. no concerns are for the rest of the year but as we get into

the later stages of 2019. they need to remain cautious. to see how much more legs does she have. nothing hurt. i think they're really responding to the jobs numbers in the market. that is what is propelling their confidence right now. you have to ask yourself. is it that be getting behind the curve on inflation. they made it clear. and they don't want to let the economy overheat. but they're trying to get to neutral. inflation is not hurting the economy. i think what you're getting it as is at is as we really don't have a case study i want to

remain positive but there's very little data that supports what we should suspect. we are still positive on the it's a large symbol market we've have in history. i hope you are wrong on that. you are expecting a quarter-point rate hike today. another hike in december. we are looking forward to 2019. i want to read you what is normally in the statement. that sounds dated. could that go out today. >> he is a keyword. there is accommodative. it will be very telling. but again they want to get to

the neutral part of the economy. but i think it's still a bullish signal that they i'm remaining confident. but i don't think we are going to see a major concern in the markets. i think the markets is priced in. for september the dow is up more than 2%. very good news for investors. david, thanks for coming on. still head. republicans won't delay the confirmation hearing. that is precisely what chairman grassley has done and is doing.

1% higher. consumers love reward cards. but retailers actually hate them. fbn:am continues right now. we are coming up on 530 in the morning. good morning to you. i'm gerri willis in for cheryl casone. the supreme court nominee brett cavanagh and his accuser are both is set to appear before the senate judiciary committee. denying democrats demand for a delay. the republicans are bringing in rachel mitchell. she is a veteran arizona prosecutor. she would hand her or questions on their behalf. what we can expect tomorrow. it's good to see you injure.

that outside counsel. is essentially the bureau chief in phoenix. what kind of questions do you expect her to ask and how will those questions be different from those of the democratic senators. i think you have to head something like this in their in order to establish credibility. but the entire thing is still kind of like a high school debate society. it's not a judicial procedure with unsubstantiated rumors and it's can be fascinating. as can be fascinating to see what happens. what are the chances that dr. ford it does does not show this tomorrow. this is not a criminal trial for which the involvement of an experienced prosecutor

would be appropriate the goal should be to develop the relevant facts not try a case. what you make of that. it's kinda like a finger trap for the republicans. they have to take this thing seriously so they bring in someone who is very serious and now they are being accused of basically trying to turn this thing into a trial. i think the republicans are doing what they have to do but it's really going to be interesting to see how this thing shakes out. and had -- and having a woman is a nice parallel. you were talking earlier about up substantial rumors. stormy daniels attorney whose twitter account is now private he said he has a third accuser who could come forward when she feels the time is right. when she's ready.

>> it's just kind of silly. if you have a victim or a witness or someone who has been taken advantage of. produce them but you don't do them -- you don't do that the eve of the hearing. he present this victim immediately and give everybody an opportunity to investigate and find out what happened. it's so fascinating that this can take place in this day and age and you can have a last-minute witness coming forward to make these allegations. the wall street journal is reporting that after all of this donald trump has an open mind and in might actually keep the number two at the agency in his position. >> do it. there is nothing of the democrats would like more right now that for president

trump to fire him. because that would be absolutely horrific. it would be terrible heading into the midterm elections. i think this entire thing was a trap to try to get president trump to fire him and i think that would be a huge mistake. keep him until after the midterm elections. president trump slamming i ran iran and his un speech. washington is trying to overthrow the government. the vice president of national security. james, always good to see you. thanks for coming in. i want you to hear what he wants the rest of the world to do. we worked work with companies that import crude oil to cut their purchases substantially. we ask all nations to isolate the regime as long as it's aggression continues.

europe entrenched opposition to the president. tell me how likely is it that trump can be successful in getting the rest of the world to do what the u.s. is doing via iran. even the harshest critics in the united states acknowledged that the sanctions have already have a dramatic effects. it's it is virtually collapsed. they have walked away extremely unlikely that this structure is actually going to make any difference in the world. the hardest sanctions haven't hit yet. do you expect europe to change their mind and do something different here? >> it's really interesting, their european elections for parliament. and then the import -- in point that. is kind of nutty.

but they are leaving office this year and there will be a new european commission much more likely it is much more balanced and has more pro- trump people in it. this attitude might not even last. i want you to hear president rowe honey talking about the u.s. listen. >> it is unfortunate that we are witnessing rulers in the world who think that they can secure their interests better or at least in the short term right public sentiments through the extremist nationalism and racism. and through that xenophobic tendencies. i would rather call each other names.

they listen to john kerry. they are looking very closely. if the present is really tough on north korea. if they can play trump and get something for nothing that sends a message to them. i think the iranians for all of their bluster are in a wait and see mode. we never would mow it -- know it. >> big retailers are giving them big push back against the popular reward credit cards. welcome tracy. it is no secret that they love credit cards with generous rewards program. some major retailers are pushing for the right to reject the credit cards.

for a second summit before the end of the year. during an interview with fox news bret baier. we look forward to a summit taking place. in the not-too-distant future. before the end of the year. they went on to say they felt the commitment to complete the d nuclear station. in a and a man who has been arrested and charged on the suspicion of the chinese citizen that moved to chicago in 2013. he was allegedly passed with providing information about several engineers with an aim to possibly recruit them. scientists may maybe one step closer. this is no -- this is great news. experts at the university of cambridge said they found a way to target toxic particles

in the brain. the breakthrough findings could lead to a new drug as early as 2020. with the all important midterm elections just over a month away. there is plenty of unwanted drama. in addition to the controversy surrounding the supreme court nomination. the former mayor of oklahoma city. let's start with the judge cavanaugh. and i begin with you. they can only lose one vote. there are six unpledged republicans. our swing senators.

which one of these do you think could possibly hurt the gop and getting cavanaugh in. i think they will all hold the line. i think the stakes are extremely high. one of the things i discuss in my book. as at the american people. they have expectations. they want to see a vote on friday. if those expectations are met. i think you will see more people disenchanted with this. that will affect the turnout in november. i disagree with the mayor respectfully. this is what needs to happen. it needs to be done by the senators that are on this committee. and it's to any to be a fair hearing for the people involved.

listen to the president yesterday. the democrats are playing a time game. they know it's a time game. they know it's high-quality. in their weakening with each other. do you think they see it as a con game. i think at the delay if the delay tactics kick in anymore. the president's words will start to have a little bit more credibility. people expect action. they want things to happen. people expect that type of behavior. and you can have mayors at running for president in 2020 probably against president trump. i think part of it is the slow in action. i would like to see in the senate move forward with this week and have the vote on friday. we haven't heard too much from many of the democrats can we

expect any democrat to vote for judge cavanaugh. at the moment i don't see that. there is a tremendous amount of people that are voters that the electorate do not want to see happen in a fast and swiss -- swift manner. this is can be an issue for the midterms. what if we have a third accuser come forward. does it make it look more like a circus. at the get adds weight to the fact that they're just trying to delete. i think people want this to move on. and let's just start focusing on the candidates and all of the swing states out there. and see if the republicans are to be able to hold onto the house and the senate. see mac i will give you the

final words to wrap this up. i think it's can a way in away in and is can be an issue. in these to be a fair process that needs to be held by the judiciary committee. and everybody needs to be heard. it will definitely weigh in for sure. we are in the twilight zone right now. we will see you tomorrow. coming up in sports. they have a chance to clinch their second straight division title last night. take a look. it will feature a first for little league history. here watching fbn a.m.

what reagan be watching for in the statement. i'll pick it will be any surprise. that the fed will be raising rates later today. is can be allowed -- around the misguidance. the markets are potentially underestimating the prospects of the surprise. i think you can argue is a nearly they are concerned about an inflation. certainly wages at 2.9 percent. i think there is a prospect that they could actually guide higher in the clause. they could argue the case of potentially three rate rises next year. and then oil prices are going up. now her scene calls and a hundred dollars per barrel.

i think that's over pessimistic if you can argue that. i think simply because it doesn't go up there. likely to cause a specific slowdown. at the last thing that they would want. oil prices going up is it possible here that they could overshoot. that's typically what happens as they get over anxious. and then the economy slows down. do you see that happening. i think there is a possibility that could happen. they don't have a tendency to cut back quite significantly. there is a concern going forward. yes. >> think you very much. we will say good morning to mario -- maria bartiromo. thank you for joining us.
