and the f say convene target jay powe chairman is mild mann well regarded businessman, lawyer, has spent many yea at the fed. he will not punch back against donald trump. it's a perfect punching b for this president who wants to lash out at any heze. >> if she not reelect the they'll be serious consequences for the economy. when you look at what we're talking about up verityed yield market people having more confidence in next two years there is reason to believe that even if donald trump does not get reelected this economy will continue to rollor aood period of time. >> there's a big qstion ying we're mainly turninga point for economy. this inverdi yield curve is something that markets pay a lot of attention to. because there's no good way to predict resectn but every one of the last six or seven recessions is preceded by this movement in the bd market and inverted yield curveom
8:42 am
itetimes takes year or two bere recession hits and when wall street saw that weesday they said oh, shoot we don't elike that we'r not going tohi ignos measure of something prediktd all of the last few ression. >> long game versus short game. >> you could say that. >> all right. >> nick timrosy is correspondent for the "wall street journal"and we thank a you for explaining lot this us to this morning. as we continue this morning we'rnot done yet. brian quellly from u.s. news and world report. fox news onlt hill live and world report. fox news onlt hill live after ings

>> welcome back to fox news on t the hill livehis morning. there's a lot happening in politics this week. >> there's u.s. news and world report to discuss tom some of this i want to discuss what's going on between israel andhi congress womanda tlaib. first they said they had concerns about her independentto currenty and wanted see her grandmother and said she should come in. hew should come in she says she's not going. and democrats an how the
8:46 am
approach united states traditional alliance. >> i think it's a great story actuallyi don't think it's justn if you unpack it main character donald trump. it probably would got have prisonen to the level it if he did not throw a stink bomb to middle of this he dide becausehas i think keen political instincts on this and democrats ongainin fighce fighting each other over this rish u. there israeli per spec testey they a lou that says if you support the boycott movement we will not let you win. they were willing to as a courtsey to congress inclined to say we'll lethese congressmen in and in generale they were not happy about that. and then they saw agenda was congressman weren't doing fact finding tour they were going to west bank. there's culpability there as well. it gets crazy. woman says i want to see my grandmother, type, we'll let you see grabbed mothernd then says no we won't no, i won't go.
8:47 am
shouldn't you just do see yourgr bed mother. takes mini trauma and has significance. democrats are at odds now. >> it'ss trauma demo don't need now. democrats are in midst of trying to decide party nominee and trying to decide what their public presentation of their party is right now. and you know, every time they seemo have these kinds of disputese o far left the president is able to use that to detype the entire democratic party. there's no one in the democratic party even nancy pehat goes tooes to progress progressive democnd say hey listen we'll bera on the same page for the next year. >> evidence would suggest she's tried. pelosi comments have been ndasoned a she keeps brinreasons bringing them in and taking the s to the wood shet shedey. the forces of nature aoc and tall even and omar they are unique character in this political environmt and have their own constituencies.
8:48 am
and there are only four votes. but more powerl than four votes. other side of the coin trump is master of pushing them forward making them face ofic demo party. >> there's things that came out this week that may not be welcomed to the president and that's new poll numbers that came out. look that 2020 presidential race fox news poll of m augustic voters f 11 to 13 finds joe biden at the top 31% and elizabeth waen jumpe% and bernie sanders 10%. poll found top democratic candidates beat president trump among registered voters 38% said they would khootz president while 50% said they would choose biden and 48% 3 with 9% for president trump. now the president just tweeted morning about poll numbers saying this with all this admintration has accomplished i think p myoll numbers would not be if i h honest mediaad which we do not.
8:49 am
clearly the president doesn't like polls. probably doesn't like it mo thatwshis came out of fox new . what does this say to you. it's august. nobody votes until february. >> right. >> is this canary in coal mine or harbinger of biggerront. >> i think it's still early. exactly where dot numbers come from? howany people iowa and how many peoplen michigan the state matters and this is national poll. trump has problems. his favorbility cannot getfe ofa certain level if you' sub40% across the board that's bad indicator historically. and i thought it was interesting this week trump knows that he's responding to it and new hamshire rally he had wonderful pase he said you can love me or hate m vote for me. tscause it affecour economy andts a your 401 is k he's seei that. he's now responding to own unfavorbility. he's seeing it he hadunfavor
8:50 am
unfavorbility going into last election and won. so there's an argument here he knows seize what's coming. >> we had a discussion with nick from the "wall street journal"about the econom does the rug come out fr trump reelection if the ec.omy goes south >> honestly i don't think so. i think it's too late and i think stuff nick was talking about bond market for seeing future that's months and months away years probably. and crash perhaps. e and if werecession likelihood we're not talking about that well intoye another yearcomingp author kenny's new book about anti-race inch hefe a prossor of american university and you will not want to miss this fts news university and you will not want to miss this fts news hill coming up after this

8:57 am
correctly particularly by how a pers receives it and how it's defined. we define racist as fixed term like a racial slur when in fact it's a ibes when a person is ng something that ist is rac racist and they're being racist and the next moment racist and in that next moment they can be anti-racist we have to be precise when we use that term an that's based on having a o clear definitf racism which i try to hang the book on >> are you optimistic or pessimistic power futuresi'm optimistic you have to believe meange wil in order to bring it about. >> how to be anti-racist he'll join us on fox on the hill pod cast that drops tomorrow morning. thank you for joining us,da "fox news sy" with chris wallace. see y next sunday
