now if you're on the fiscal element, it has to fall on what i would think are the macro-prudential regulatoruthority that really has the power the capacity to oversea the leverage and what's happening and act against it through regulatory instruments has to be the central bank. there really isn't an alternative if we want to stop this. now if they would be willing to do so and politically able to do so and everyone is enjoying the party, that's a different matter. but if any institution is to respond to the respond to the exploding leverage we saw in in 2000, it has to be the central bank. >> eliot: you're saying on the way up the central bank, the fed has to say you're overdoing it you need to control yourself because this sort of inflation will lead us down the path of recession. >> yes. >> eliot: you have a fascinating idea which is a wealth tax. explain to me why a wealth tax could help remedy the inequity in our society. >> well, there is a very obvious argument if you tax people's earned income at a high level people stop working. this is something in that. now let's suppose you value

joining me with more on her outlook for the fourth quarter prudential chief market strategist quincyrosby. thanks very much for joining us. do you really see qe as a safety net and why? >> just in terms of the market. i mean, the value judgment regarding qe is something different. we just look at the markets. what fourth quarter typically is a good quarter for the markets. you have seasonality, for example, in technology. you have seasonality, believe it or not even in the steel sector. so when you go into the fourth quarter, you may see some pullbacks. you will see buying. then the other thing you see in the fourth quarter, typically every single year is catching up window-dressing. doesn't mean that the year is blasted and the markets come down. you will still see window addressing because portfolio managers, hedge fund magers, want to best their competitors. that helps in the fourth quarter. ashley: we, we've also had quite a lot of profit and earnings warnings from some pretty prominent companies fedex and caterpillar. doesn't that worry you? >> it certainly does but the more tho

abortion is not a question of prudential judgment.re dealing with different parties, you say, well, is this party going against a fundamental belief? in my faith? i cannot support that evil, i think it is very simple. >> dave: she wasn't the only one to talk about or hint about abortion. were you at all surprised at how many at the democratic national convention were celebrating? >> well it's a recognition that what they want to do in this case is say, we are the party of... this and this. and it is different than the republicans. so, look at us. with us you will get this, you will get that and are trying to make that clear division, and, make that clear distinction. i think that ms. kennedy is a i think she should be more intellectually honest. >> alisyn: thanks for coming in, good to see you, in caref. >> clayton: joe biden telling the media to -- to fact check his speech. >> fact check me. >> clayton: a number of organizations took him up on that and we'll show you the results. >> alisyn: and secret closed door meetings, where is t

prudential financial is reportedly close to an agreement to acquire the company's individual life insurancee two could reach a deal later today. investment bankers and analysts have valued the business at about $1 billion. let's get some final thoughts from our guest host. you said, you know, the 47% numb number, you say he was wrong about that. what do you mean? >> i think he's wrong with the following sentence. you don't have to agree with me, joe, but i think a lot of people get money from the government. and the theory is they're never going to vote for mitt. the fact is, as you run trillion-dollar deficits and hope that china keeps buying the bonds, at some point some portion of those folks are going to figure out that this gravy train can't go on, and it's going to jeopardize their kids and grandkids, and they may vote the other way. >> in the old days people voted aspirational. democrats voted for ronald reagan. i'm just wondering about whether the aspiration is enough to put a candidate over the top at this point? >> i think the reality of our economic station, with 23 million peopl

secondly, this illustrates we are cooperative with the federal agencies, the other prudential regulatorsnd it's important to go hand-in-glove as we address institutions, and we don't want them confused with the situation where one says one thing and the other says the other thing. it's not good for any of us or them. a third point is we attempted to shape the restitution to consumers in this case to be as easy possible to receive that restitution. there's instances where consumers are entitled to relief, but it's difficult to get to it, they are not aware of it, it's a hard process to get through. we want to make that easy. the other thing i want to say clearly and publicly because it got lost in the shuffle because of the sort of attention to our first enforcement action. the institution here, capital one, responded, in my view, extremely responsibly to the problem when it was identified. when we spoke to their leading officials about what we had found, they were disstressed and concerned about it as we were, and they stepped to to take it on, not to try to suggest someone else was to b
