michael lee, portfolio management and market strategist is joining us.ut not as much as they do with higher interest rates. this isn't good for the banks. >> especially with a flat yield curve. when long-term rates are below short-term rates, that's like a losing money proposition. cheryl: i was trying to find good news in this. we're expecting a rough quarter, just in general for earnings, right. but i was thinking to myself, okay, look, if lower interest rates spurs mortgage loans, more people want to buy homes or more people want to take a loan for a car, that could actually be a saving grace for these guys. >> it's a very tough environment for the banks, not only from a trading standpoint but ey ideally it's the borrow overnight, lend long. when overnight rates are -- cheryl: the overnight rate, the rate they loan to each other. >> what are they saying about the consumers, what are they seeing in the economy, are they seeing deterioration of fundamentals and this will give us a better look into the broader picture. cheryl: are people paying credit ca

michael crowley, you know the state department. carol lee as well. foreign service officers, career ambassadors. but what she is testifying to s is -- as eleanor holmes norton said, both sides are finding it credible. >> that is what strikes me here, what we're just getting in about her opening statement. it suggests she's not only talking about the particulars of her unhappy experience at the end of her tenure in ukraine when she was removed under suspicious circumstances but more broadly, the state department is being hollowed out, that diplomacy is being disrespected in this administration, saying there's a wider crisis in diplomacy in the state department. when rex tillerson was fired and mike pompeo took over the state department, mike pompeo said we're going to bring swagger back to the state department. even a lot of foreign service officers who didn't particularly like donald trump, there was a little bit of a sense of a reprieve. i think that honeymoon is long gone. >> carol, it was because there was a lot of suspicion against him initially

michael brown, eric garner, the color of law. mr. goff? >> the witness may answer the question. >> go ahead, sir. >> thank you for the question, congresswoman jackson-lee. -- there's a difference between a neighbor who is violent, which is obviously, it's scary. when the state says it's okay, it's terror. we see that in the responses from communities, and in the responses from law enforcement, but i think one of the things that you mention, i want to put a fire point on this, the statistical element. rime the idea of black on black crime gets raised and response figured that that is the reason why law enforcement is using force in black communities. as distasteful that may seem, it's a statistical question that maybe the cartel you're driving and there's no involvement with law enforcement. purdue answer the question well, there's not a study that takes into account crime rates, poverty rates, school jasmine, house inequality and yields to other than those elements crime and poverty are not sufficient to the studies. we should be able to distinguish between the two. >> reverend sharpton, quickly. >> i concur with that answer and i would say that for th
