 very much well the president may knew this week before the whole dust up with his attorney general that's what was weird just pick up the phone and tell the guy what you think but whatever it was that's fine the fact that matters the president really generate a lot of interest in talking about the bull market and that it could all come crashing down if the Democrats go after him take a look I'll tell you what if I ever got a pitch I think the market would crash I think everybody would be very poor because without this thinking you would see you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe in reverse I don't know that was a Tony soprano for me it was like I'm not saying I want this bull market to go away but it would be a pity if it went away I don't know I just kind of struck me as interesting a lot of people we talked on the street kind of had the same feeling but did link the president to the success of this market so pull them out of there maybe it goes away take a look I think if Trump gets impeached which I don't see by which grounds he would be the economy would definitely be affected in a negative way I don't think it's really dependent on him to be honest I think of it definitely affected he's been doing so much to create more jobs here the president doesn't have that big of an impact on the economy it kind of goes where it goes he's had a very positive effect on the economy so if he was impeached I definitely think it would be it have a negative effect on our economy then again I'm not saying it's gonna happen but it could happen all right so you might have fun with that I throw that out to you on free basic cable all right let's get the read from the runway feel we got Susan Lee with us Melissa Armo and Jessica Tarlaw of Jessica what do you think of that go after me kiss this market goodbye it was one of I guess the more interesting things that he said in that interview but there were a lot of humdingers in there including like you know we should outlaw flipping and lying about the timeline of everything I think that he has in looking at the latest polling you know good cause to say that the economy is doing exceptionally well under me people are reacting to at the Fox News poll for instance the only issue area that he has a positive rating on is the economy even though he can take about for that and would it be imperiled if he were you know under an impeachment he does deserve a lot of credit but no it would not be imperiled and what does this say about Mike Pence the fact that if the president's gone there's vice president that he put in power the world's going to hell under Mike Pence leadership that's essentially what he's saying look most of his pro-growth policies are even put in place and they have affected economy so if if something were to happen to President Trump and I don't believe that's in the realm of realistic probabilities but if something were to happen to him I don't think you'd have a fart of part it's not like the old days the presidency is when he had like say McKinley brings in Teddy Roosevelt because he wanted to silence the other side and you have a radical departure with the vice president in the modern presidency you bring in vice presidents that would basically carry on the president's agenda so very little will change it would just be Trump without the tweets I remember Trump though has this certain thing that's like a genocide quat where he can get people to do things these are Trump administration policies so yes if vice president Pence came in you'd still have these policies but could he get the everything done I mean tax cuts is not a new concept and Trump got it done and also he won the election there were Republicans before him that just couldn't get it done so he's got that special thing and I think without him the market would he had full run of the table too I mean I'm not minimizing it was a big thing but let Susan to that point do you or now are you hearing from people that just the uncertainty of where this investigation goes it's gonna weigh on here before we've seen this picture before 1990s Clinton the Clinton boom was a strongest rally that we've seen in American history right stocks went up 417% during that run that's even more than what we see and we just cross along his bull market run now this week we're up about what 322 something like that that's the bullish argument and I think there's a big signal that the markets still have more to run on Friday we finally broke through a record high for the S&P 500 a closing high that we haven't seen in seven months that's a longest drought in two years you guys think they'll just be uncertainty of it normally as you remind me John Wall Street some bore that that that not knowing where this goes wondering about these immunity deals who's getting what and why that it festers beneath the surface a lot of people dismiss the watergate thing early on until they couldn't I think it does faster I think it's bad for the country as far as the market though you have two presidential impeachments you had a presidential resignation yet Iran Contra which is more I think comparable to this none of those have had long-term effects on the market so I don't think this affects the market long term I do think it's bad for the country and I think it does hurt the Republicans in the midterms but as far as the economy in the market the valuations are coming down earnings are up 20 something percent this quarter this bull market is revitalized because of these tax cuts and cut a regulation but Jessica one of the things that come up is that Democrats are potentially grabbing the feet from the jaws of victory by pounding impeachment so much or hinting at it well actually in the past few weeks you've seen a big effort by Nancy Pelosi Chuck Schumer and Jerry Nadler who would essentially be in charge of impeachment proceedings if we do take back the House in November come on Dems all coming out and that they will they will not go the impeachment route they understand how polarizing this is and well they say that they say that yeah they do say that but actually I certainly believe that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer mean it Jerry Nadler you mean if they took that I could still see them for silly when you look at the enthusiasm gap Democrats have a huge advantage now and the latest polling we even have an advantage 19 I don't know we keep getting numbers like this market in this economy those enthusiasm numbers go the other way well the economy is doing well for a while but I would add to that that a thing that will get the GOP base to the polls is impeachment which is why you hear every Republican out on the trail saying if you don't vote for us if you don't show up Donald Trump is going to be impeached but did that backfire on the Republicans I mean I'm sorry they didn't backfire on the Republicans in 98 I mean they almost sunk the Republicans they got killed that right after that in the election because they impeached the president it is a motivating factor if you look at Trump space which is about 25 30 percent there and it's a midterm election which is usually not as exciting as a presidential obviously if you want to get them to turn out to at least match the baseline enthusiasm of the quote resistance by saying Donald Trump is going to go away and these are people who yes they like Mike Pence but they do like Donald Trump I'm telling even Republicans Melissa I want you to react to this I was talking to California Congress and brought back a big fan of the president close friends with Vladimir Putin who was saying by the way that the president is getting burned here although I pointed out to him it's not the fake news media that created some of these crises for him let's take a look the president's being blackmailed this man was being blackmailed and the president guy who's mistakenly handling it so that every bit of the procedure isn't correct he's not the villain the villain is the person blackmailing him but no we don't get that at all but congressman is someone's trying to blackmail you and you wrote the check to make it go away you're at least a co-partisan been in the blackmail right oh well no no the person who is who's yeah legally but what we're talking about is what is this massive PR campaign against the president you're being blackmailed and you're right to check this someone to get the blackmail away you are participating in a blackmail all right I got a lost sight of where this whole interview was going but my point is there is that you know obviously republicans aren't the president's a victim where he's being he's being targeted and all of that but again he wrote those checks to silence these women it it is what it is and it might not be an impeachable offense or a high crime this way I'm not saying that but he is not without galvanizing this talk and that I would imagine where he's the marketer could well you're right about your blackmail points but the thing is for what he paid them it's like a poop it's like a drop in the bucket it's like oh whatever there can be very small campaign violence violations the law doesn't care how much money there's a difference on all that you're saying you know it the idea that it could abide the election or the way it's been presented no so you're not worried about I mean just looking through the prism of your greedy money eyes right by the way which I admire wall street just in screen you don't see that having an impact no I don't and here's the thing again we've gone we've strayed so far from what the original purpose of this investigation was that I think regular people now are more than ever convinced that it is a witch hunt but it is trying to go after Trump what they should do the polls say exactly the opposite the support for the Mueller probe went up 11 points in the last one maybe the polls are right as you know politics that Americans want it wrapped up like yesterday they're getting impatient that one wasn't out this week well it was out the week before come on but Susan all I'm saying on this is either but it this would not be the first investigation we're gonna raise this around as well that is veered off course but I don't know how far off course and I don't know how the markets can deal with something that could be going on now for many months so some analysis has pointed to some political influence obviously on the markets markets history has taught us that when there's a democratically controlled house a republican controlled senate and a white house president that's republican markets have underperformed during that period you have this better call solid attorney if this is to me is be expected you have a real estate guy in new york city than president you have all these associations with lawyers you got to expect this stuff is going to come out and I believe that the american public does I don't believe the american public cares if it's a crime yes prosecuted but I don't think that's going to affect the presidency or the economy they can pay their bills and if they have money in the retirement account and if you bought the day after the election if you bought any of the market ETFs if you bought the market at all and most strong stocks you were up more than 30 percent if you bought one share the cost $215 of the spy ETF you made 72 bucks you couldn't make that money in anything all right then why else people care about I wish we had more time unfortunately don't I think what you're saying is make money not constitutional rules maybe all right so we'll see where all this goes in the meantime you ever wonder where this probe is going I think I think it started out with collusion what if it's not about collusion anymore it's just business deals it it's not personal it's all business after this
