si signs about a looming recession in the united states. we ll crunch the numbers. first, let s say it. nay to the naysayers. the skeptics and cynics that said the january 6th hearings wouldn t matter. turns out they were. reporter: very wrong. the media personalities that said nobody would watch and care have seen otherwise. let s be honest. there was a bit of this prognosis, some people thought the summertime hearings would fizzle out over time but they actually picked up steam as june turned to july. tv ratings stayed strong throughout the series. it s weird to say it s a series but it was a summer series of television and urn turned out t one of the highest rated shows of the summer. despite the maga people that said nobody was watching, it reached tens of millions of people. as an attention exercise, it gained a lot of attention. as a fact 2350finding effort, i brought a lot of new facts. as a political expert, i ll save that. tucker charleston called the shameful ot
sadly, it was indeed the case. now, imagine, if you will, a foreign adversary attacked any part of our country, let alone a symbol of our democracy, and imagine there s an attack and the president of the united states, the only person that you can t taunt with the phrase you and what army, stands by and does nothing or stands by and stands back. i mean, all the way back, back at the white house in the dining room for more than three hours watching it all unfold on tv. no calls to the military that he commands in chief, crickets. you d probably tell me it s impossible. it would never happen. you d probably say, look, if that wera show i d stop watching. they d jump the shark. only it did happen in reality skpr, and we heard how the president ignored desperate pleas from his own aides, his allies inside and outside of the government, even his own family. don t forget the fake electors plot in trying to weaponize the doj all in some attempt to hang onto power. but imagine just b
there s no longer this theory of what popular entertainment must be. incoming! who are the heroes? the people who watch this show. this is the week when the major broadcast networks unveil their fall lineup of shows. and every executive in hollywood knows how well the sopranos is doing on cable, which is a network problem. i think hbo altered everything for this reason alone, is there were no commercials. we are dependent on sponsors. there s so much we can do in terms of language, in terms of violence, in terms of sex. to a large degree, a lot of executives were just sanding off the edges of what was interesting. i think hbo is looking at the world and going, okay, how can we matter? for quite a long time, movies and boxing were the bread and butter of hbo. people watch a show because you re partly a [ bleep ]. i think what we learned through shows like the larry sanders show or oz is that we could do serious television. there s somethin

away from 20% of the highs, definition of a bear market. welcome. i m neil cavuto. this is your world. it was a selling world all this week amid concerns that inflation is rocketing, the fed is hiking rates and the economy could be slowing dramatically. its been so weird this week. because remember the reaction the markets had to news that jerome powell at the federal reserve was going to start aggressively hiking interest rates. a 75 basis point hike earlier this week. the highest since a fellow named bill clinton was in the oval office in 1994. that was then. concerns that he will have to do more of that right now. doesn t jackie deangelis know it. taking a look at the week that is now done. jackie? good afternoon, neil. even with this mixed picture at the close today, it was a sell button dominated wall street week. take a look at the major three averages. it was a sea of red. year to date, the markets have been pummeled. the dow and the s&p 50 oh sorry. the nasdaq a
