this is nielsen screaming. nielsen screaming all the way along. nielsen was a genius.on, but again to guys point, what does it signal? it is indeterminate, isn't it? erik: i think it is. it is normalizing. that would be the way i think about it. the five-year has been really confused by itself. tom: thank you. erik: if you saw how it reacted to oil prices, which they got completely on the wrong correlations in place and some of that is being corrected now, i think, so most of this is normalization in my opinion. fed confused with the five-year and market compariso participants confusing janet yellen? is doubly confused? erik: i would not say those three are confused. they know a lot about it more than i do. most of what they are confused about were unclear is of where the u.s. government is going. also on protectionism and on the fiscal side, nobody seems to know. they are very nervous about what's coming and they are holding back a little bit. ik nielsen, greatly appreciate it this morning . let's do a data check here if we could. maybe we can squeeze in both screens.

nielsen ratings confirmed that pbs stations reach more children ages two mac - 8 and low income households than any other children's network. the question is, could you elaborate a little bit more on the impact of eliminating the federal commitment. how a complete privatization compromise program quality? >> thank you for the question. children's content is very expensive. if your goal is to treat the child as a consumer, then you can pay for that content surrounded by commercials. if your goal is to build a young citizen to provide a safe place where child can learn, and you are not focused on a commercial return on investment, but a return on investment for that child's entire life, we could not do it without the federal appropriation. ready to learn will go away. a commercialized ready to learn would not work. these parents can't afford to pay for the money that goes into the research, the evaluation, the boots on the ground. it's another example of understanding at a profound level, that no matter where these kids come from, how poor their families are, every child start school not say
