in the last election people had theories about things were work ing. many were not correct. your view of the way things stand now in the election , what strikes you, what are you watching? >> i believe that you have a universe of voters, you don't have a vast universe of swing voters but a small universe. the romney-clinton voters, who switched from red to blue the last time around. that's roughly 3% of the electorate. you have so-called obama-trump voters, that is about 5% of the electorate. it does seem that democrats have done good job of consolidating the former group. if you look at the obama-trump voters that is a dicier proposition, particularly if you are looking at the rust belt, the great lakes, these are region where it seems as though some voters who might have been reluctant to back other republicans who are willing to give donald trump a shot, it's not entirely clear that he has galvanized those voters, or they are as energized as they had been in 2016.tysa pn flux. republican party of paul ryan, who is now heading for the exits is party that really speaks to t

the leverage lending isn't bind ing and that's just the way the law is interpreted, so it's something we're monitoring and as i mentioned we think overall vulnerabilities are moderate. >> the new york times, if i can come back back to accomodative. do you think the policy is at present and how close are you to neutrality and do you share the view of some of your colleagues that you'll eventually need to be restrictive? >> so now i think if you look at the dot plot in the sep, you'll see that the federal funds rate even after today's move is below the longer run neutral estimate of every single participant that who submits an estimate of that, so that's why this is the perfect time to take the language out because it's perfectly clear that there can't be a signal because by definition that means an accomad ative policy so it is still. the thinking was more as i mentioned it's more that the language has run useful life but there's another point too which is we don't want to suggest either that we have this precise understanding of where accomodative stops or suggest that that's a really

most of these workplace shoot ings or the mass shootings are committed by men. so we are told that the woman is hospitalized and in critical condition with a gunshot wound, but the sheriff said that no law en s forment officials fired any shots, and so that suggests that the woman shot herself perhaps in and attempt to kill herself and we don't know that, but it is the first that we had heard that no law enforcement fired any shots. we don't know what the connection is to this rite aid distribution scenter where the shooting took place today and as for the number of people shot, we had heard that the number, the total number of gunshot victims was somewhere around seven and that the number of fatalities was ooeither three o four. and it is not clear to me which is the correct number, and we have heard both frankly, and a matter of waiting to get the information from the hospital, but, in any event, well over 100 people apparently employed at the rite aid distribution s center, and the number of casualties is less than 10. so it all happened starting at 9: 9:00,
