james freeman?ll, i think they have, they would see a lot of economic upside. i can't believe this wouldn't be a positive message, a bullish message for investment in hong kong and on main land, if they were embracing more freedom in hong kong. melissa: okay. yeah. thanks to all of you. i want to take a look at stocks again. hovering near session lows. more than 1% lower. let'slet's go to nicole petallin floor of new york stock exchange. what is driving the trade? we're off the highs of the session but still down 228 points. >> it is interesting to watch. we're seeing selling across the board. you noted the dow is down 1.3%. manufacturing numbers from abroad and right here at home that were disappointing. you have geopolitical events. ebola hitting certain stocks. the selling is broad based. the stock market, talking about the dow, nasdaq and zap, have moved to levels basically from mid-august. the russell, in particular is now in correction mode, 10% from all-time closing high. that is something in

go ahead, james freeman. >> this really isn't that complicated. the economy is not as good as it could be as it should be with policies. melissa: that is not what we were saying at the start of the show three minutee ago. >> the poiin it is growing. but the point is, rates have been super low for five years. we have tried that. that is not where we need to go for growth. we have to get better policies regulation. taxes and melissa: are you buying this now or? >> i know every day, paul gigot givessthem a little piece of -- melissa: oh, my goodness. >> getting nasty in here. melissa: getting cold in here. >> i am only kidding. i know paul very well. >> well, let us know. president obama will appoint ron claim to be the -- klain. administration's ebola czar. they call it a ebola esponse coordinator.3 looks good on the reeume' that way. klain previous served as chief of staff to vice president biden. he also managed the distribution of funds from the massive stimulus package that president obama passed in his first term. he is considered an excellent

james freeman, you think it works? >> it might. it is odd.usually think of voter intimidation cases as people trying to discourage people from voting. this is saying -- melissa: a little intimidation. >> threat you better show up. it is a little odd because the democrat ekh party has become known for a very high-tech, sophisticated social media capability to identify people and motivate them. and this is of course the most old-fashioned, low-tech -- melissa: violence is very low-tech. >> they will come take your halloween candy. >> that is implied. no one is actually threatened, who wants to get a letter like that. melissa: if they're not beating vote out of voters, law make remembers begging for funding. democratic campaign committee, accept defeat. we're completely out of ideas. well, we thought we would be in a better place but we're not. we need 35,000 donation those get back on track. this is another incredible one, after hillary clinton emailed you this morning to ask for help, we really thought we would be in a better place but we aren

what do you think about that one, james freeman? >> i think this is an issue we talked about recently he is trying to partly get out in front of his fed colleagues. he knows at love them don't have market experience. as academics they can get rattle ad bit. sort of like geithner was during the crisis where people on the street would whisper to him had scary stuff without the experience to know he would kind of overreact. i think that is what fisher may be concerned about from his fed colleagues. >> do you think the economy is getting better? >> slowly, yes, i do. fisher -- melissa: wait, wait. let me stop you right there. you look at data coming out of china. >> not good. melissa: seems like globally something has happened, something has shifted and we aren't all of a sudden getting better the way they are were. do you agree with that. >> i think europe is depressing. i think u.s. economy is plug along. >> china and germany and but the u.s. is bright spot in the global economy. >> they will not last. melissa: how will this keep goin

we are back with dan hen i thinker and editorial editor james freeman joins us.n, what's your diagnosis? >> you know, paul, it is fascinating that we have seen nothing like the volatility we have this week where the dow was going in the red, in the green all day long. and you know, stock markets are pretty good at pricing events out there. i don't think some of the things that are going on now, like islamic state in iraq, ebola, and so forth could be causing that kind of volatility. markets absorb it. they knew those things were going on. i think it has to be something else. i like to point to the international monetary fund meetings last weekend in washington in which central bankers admitted they have run out of tools to stimulate growth in the united states. and the united states has to lead if the world is going to grow again. the institution to do that is the federal reserve. the federal reserve keeps sending mixed signals on when it is getting off the zero bound interest rate policy. even they say we need something else. that something else would be pro-gro
