carson block and justine bone, the ceo of medsec holdings will join us in a couple of minutes. we'll bring you much more as soon as we get it. let's get back to the "closing bell" exchange, especially, holly made a great point of interest rates. greg, what's the prospect for a turn in the rate environment which we haven't seen with rates moving higher? >> better today than 24 hours ago. i mean, i think the key is that for janet yellen to put a rate increase on the table in her speech and as high up as said steve is significant. i read her as wanting to get the possibility of a september rate hike on the table. it is difficult to bring themselves to increase rates if the market has that probability well below 50% on the day of. we'll still only at 30%. she is trying to get the numbers up to 50%. i read stan fischer as steve was saying, on the hawkish side of things and i recall him doing this exactly a year ago at this time of year when he put a hawkish spin on some dovish talk out of fed officials. so what i think he's trying to do is he's raising the prospect of two rate incre
