You ready for november . [cheers and applause] rep. Scalise yall know whats at stake. 2020 will be a contrast election, and there is no sharper contrast between the conservative principles and values our country is built upon , what President Trump has done to deliver for families through individual freedom and socialism on the others that you can see on full display in these debates.

Without getting technical, the shift in Interest Rates has raised the risk of recession. Bad news for investors. The dow is going to be down 370 points. That means we are down about 1,000 points from the middle of last week. The s p 500 down maybe 45, 1. 5 , and the nasdaq, thats on track for its longest losing streak in three years, down bigtime across the board. Look at this. Talk about a flight to safety. Money pouring into u. S. Treasury bonds and yields are tumbling. The tenyear, the benchmark Interest Rate, now yields just 1. 78 . If theres any Silver Lining here, its the likelihood of even lower Mortgage Rates in the immediate future. The price of gold, that is a sixyear high. That is also part of the flight to safety. Bitcoin, bitcoin, money is flowing in there, too. Its back to 11,800 per coin, up more than 20 in the last week. Heres what we have to start the new week. A currency war, a prolonged trade fight probably, a stock market selloff bigtime and a universal flight to so
Thats five pm on the east coast, and the nations eyes are on washington. On capitol hill. We are a stopgap federal Spending Bill is now in the hands of the senate. After being passed in dramatic fashion by the house, just a couple of hours ago. To fund our government and avoid a shutdown with just seven hours left on the clock to do so. We have a lot to cover on our show tonight, but we start with a possible shutdown at midnight. Nbcs Ali Vitale Is Standing by on capitol hill. Elie, give us the latest. Right, things have been fast around here, because if you had told me when i left late last night, that Speaker Mccarthy was going to effectively look left and do this in a partisan fashion, i would have told you, absolutely not, no way. But it was a recognition on mccarthys part that within his conference those republicans that continue to block his path forward were not going to change and is that it was him who had to change the strategy. Now what this does is by the house, and by prox

Rational argument. So over the next three days, House Republicans will have to decide whether to join the senate and keep the government open or shut it down, because they cant get their way on an issue that has nothing to do with the deficit. Sounds so reasonable, but i hate to break it to you, mr. Preside president , but rational isnt what this is about. Okay. Do you know this man . Well, thats matt mead. Hes the republican governor of wyoming. Now, i know you may be asking why should i care about him . Because in 2010, a midterm year, matt mead won the last statewide general election for the wyoming Governors Office with 123,780 votes. That translated to 66 of the popular vote.
