let's turn to kamal sri-kumar. he joins us from los angeles. we look at the trade in all the your reaction to the stability report and more warnings to could be some leverage -- too much leverage for comfort in some parts of the system? kamal: the warning is a proper one. my complaint it's too late. we have all this taking place, parley with the fed's connivance. zero interestd rates for too long. having maintained low interest rates for too long of a period of time that it should be a surprise that leverage loans and become more of an issue and the fed is concerned about the stability from that side. in additional element addition to what came out in this report is consumer debt is also at high levels because of mortgage debt, auto loans, student debt, and all of that is coming with higher interest rates and a slowing economy into 2019 despite the gdp numbers coming through this morning. a slower economy and higher rates mean for all these leverage loans there is more trouble ahead. vonnie: one of those making the argument for countercyclical

in our next hour, steve kornacki, greg sherman, maria kumar join me and phil on the rocky path to flipping. our producers watch the sunday shows so you don't have to. a packed show coming up next. (door bell rings) it's open! hey. this is amazing. with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, are you okay? even when i was there, i never knew when my symptoms would keep us apart. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira can help get, and keep uc under control when other medications haven't worked well enough. and it helps people achieve control that lasts. so you can experience few or no symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sore

joining us now maria kumar, and ron klain is back with us.your reaction to the president's realization that most people think that it is atrocious, unthinkable to use tear gas on children. and we know that the president knows that because he's denying that he did it. >> right. well, he saw the poll numbers this morning, probably saw something that even fox news was in agreement and all of a sudden he decided to pivot. let's be clear what the president did yesterday at the southern border basically throwing tear gas at families seeking asylum is his way of finding a loophole after a federal judge last week said that anybody who crosses the border has a right to seek asylum by international law, by american law. so the president decided to close the border to ensure these families seeking asylum did not take a step forward on our ground. it really takes a moment for us as americans to try to reconcile what we're witnessing because we are the moral authority when it comes to refugees and asylum. and that picture that is now circulating around th

and leading us off tonight maria kumar, michael steel, former chairman of the national committee and msnbc analyst. jennifer palmeri. and jennifer, let's start with you. we know what the polls are indicating based on everything you were seeing. where do you think we will be 24 hours from now? >> so that's 10:00 eastern tomorrow night. i bet you're going to have -- we'll be close to having a democratic house declared, but you have it declared but you'll be close to having it declare. and i suspect you'll have a democratic governor in the states of florida and georgia at that point. >> michael steele, we had the washington republicans and the person of paul ryan calling the president saying please, could you please mention the economy? it's the one thing where our numbers look pretty good, but the president doesn't have any fun apparently mentioning the economy. >> no, of course not. 41% unemployment, and, you know, wages going up and all that good stuff. why talk about that when you can talk about scaring people and really pushing the party and its leadership to the brink of a complet

. >> well, here to talk about all of it, nita kumar from mcclatchy newspapers and jonathan allen national political reporter. jonathan, i didn't doubt the reporting when i saw it today. i found it curious. you being smarter than me took it seriously. why? >> well, you know, brian i don't agree with you on the -- your theory there about smartest but i take it seriously. this would be the trumpiest maneuver of all time to number one publicly ask mike pence to be his vice president again and then a week or two later dump him. most presidents would look at something like that as an admission they had made a bad decision in the first place. the public releases disaster ensuing from that they would see as a bad thing. trump likes to fire people or have other people fire people. i think he might be looking for something to jazz up his ticket going into 2020. he obviously just got his hat handed back to him in terms of house elections. he watched governor and senator races in those big key 2016 states, pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan turn to the democrats. so you know, this is a moment where

he hasn't left for about 24 hours maria teresa kumar, an msnbc contributor, susan del percio, politicallyst, also with us, elise jordan and adrian elrod, former director of strategic communications for hillary clinton's 2016 campaign and at the end of the table, dave wasserman. welcome to you all. >> good morning. we've agreed it's morning now. maria, let's talk about the kind of candidate that won tonight. we were talking on the break a young candidate, we were talking about women, historic firsts, as well. >> for the very first time, we're about to vote in 100 women in congress at one time. 22 women are new. we're going to send in the first two muslim american women into congress. 600 millennials ran for office. mostly democrats. that moons all of a sudden, the democrat are refreshing the bench. we're not only talking about yes, congress but filling state houses. that's a big deal when it comes to redistricting in 2020. >> if you're a republican and you are, susan and looking at what happened tonight, the loss of the house and the pushback nag jerry nadler has already said he's going

i'm joined now by the "hardball" roundtable, mia kumar with mcclatchy, david elrod with hillary for americai is the author of "trump's enemies: how the deep state is undermining the president," and former chief of staff or political adviser to trump's 2016 campaign. anita, let me ask you this about the whole question. it seems to me there are other ways of communicating between the first lady and the president than issuing a statement for the whole country to read that the deputy nfc direct should be gone. >> extraordinary. i mean, clearly, first ladies must express their opinion. you just don't usually see it publicly like this. but what this -- >> i remember nancy reagan, when she didn't like donald regan, the chief of staff, she told bernie shaw at cnn to announce on television, he's been fired. >> well, what this probably means is she's tried another route, right? she's tried -- i mean, this is someone that has gotten on to cross hairs both at the white house -- has already been, just like these other people you mentioned, jeff sessions, secretary nielsen, these are people that have got

we've been joined in our studio by maria-teresa kumar. >> good to have you here. >> good to have youour full-time job is mobilizing latino votes. are you declaring a victory in that effort tonight? >> i'm declaring a victory that as of -- before polls were closed, we had 3.3 million latinos cast early votes. twice the amount that happened in 2014. so, that's a big deal. one thing we were seeing is they were in pockets we expected. in virginia, georgia, north carolina, places where historically the latino vote doesn't move mountains, is moving mountains. we're a lot of firsts in this congress. 22 women, some who flipped congress as well. they flipped the seats. this will be the very first time we'll have roughly 100 women elected all at once in one single night. we'll see the youngest women go to congress, two muslim-american women go to congress. there's a lot to celebrate. the democrats for the first time with a fresh, young base that actually reflects the party they claim to represent. >> what do you make of what we saw in the early exit polls, national exit polls from nbc? we're u

. >> that's harold and kumar >> when we return the president takes a swipe of amazon, facebook and google when it come to antitrust the best weekly gain for the nxpx back in a moment. >>> presidency says his administration is looking into amazon and facebook and google, violatinining with antitrust la. >> what about monopoly >> i have so many people saying that it is something that we are looking at >> will you break them up? >> they're talking about it this years ago, monopoly, long before i was in office. >> do you think you are the man to do it > >> the previous administration stopped them >> you are in charge now >> i am definitely in charge we are looking at all three. >> the reaction is largely been when the president says we are looking at something, that does not mean we are close to implementing anything. >> i am getting tired of this stuff. remember amazon was 1588 he took amazon down to 1369 giving it the chance to buy. teddy roosevelt kind of talk >> it is a tough antitrust case to prove the conference back in may and who runs enforcement for the antitrust enforcement division

do you think sri kumar has a point to make here, as the fed tries to find this ephemeral, neutral rateerest rates? >> i think he has an excellent point. i think there is no such thing as a neutral rate. if you take a look at the fed funds rate the last ten years, it's averaged 38 basis points. if you look at it since the beginning of this century, the year 2000, it's averaged 171 basis points if you look at it from the beginning of time, 1954, it averaged 480 basis points. there is no such thing as this rate -- this ephemeral rate they're talking about. i have no idea who came up with it the key point is, if you're running an economy at 38 basis points for ten years, and you jump the rate five-fold, which is what has happened, to assume that all of the people who finance the trillions of dollars that were financed at this lower rate can automatically adjust to the higher rate, without any negative consequences, is, i think, a major mistake. >> all right. >> in addition to that -- sorry. >> finish your thought. >> if you shrink the growth and money supply, roughly 6.7% since the beginni

let's bring in our panel, sre kumar, david kelly, chief global strategist -- a strategist everyone noddon't expect the fed to do anything today, right? nod, nod, nod appropriately. so david, what do you expect them to say? >> i think they'll do very little change in the wording also they might add a few words about how wage growth has improved they deliberately don't want to make news. that's why this meeting is today. they would have had this meeting in late october. they wanted to make sure they didn't make news in front of the midterm elections. i think they'll leave their news until december when i think they will raise rates. >> what do you think about the future of interest rate hikes? there's not much inflation out there. oil is going down right now, at least though you can take that out of some inflation measures and so forth the economy's doing well employment picture is good growth and full employment and low inflation. those are kind of what the fed wants. that's what they're getting. why do anything here >> the reason it is probably too late to do anything, tyler, because t

joining us right now is sr sri kumar and eric schiffer.ri, what do you think about what paul tudor jones just said, the idea that there will be some scary moments in corporate credit >> i think there are going to be lots of scary moments. the debt has built up substantially since the financial crisis of 2008 we maintained ultra low interest rates for too long a period of time we have not just qe 1, but qe2, qe3. now we're trying to go to the other side and increase interest rates. so the fed by accessibly easing first and increasing it, causing debt to increase, which is paul tudor jones' point, it is increasing the risk to the global economy and markets so i think i'm very much in line that's what i've been saying repeatedly on your program that has implications for investors. it's not good for equities it also means that u.s. treasury yields are still too high compared with where they should be >> we always talk in times of excess from the fed, the excesses that build up during low rate structures. you think it's the corporate debt marke
