Marianna Coasha Lakota, the former Minneapolis Fed president, 13 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 1: I told Bloomberg Surveillance this wearring central banks have something 14 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: of a communications problem. I think are conveying unfortunately, are 15 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: communicating a sense of powerlessness, and that feeds back on 16 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: itself to to generate uh lower old place expectations, lower 17 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: inflation now m best Buy falling at early trading after 18 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: forecasting second quarter profit that trailed to analysts estimates, also 19 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: announcing the departure of its CFO and Jess Daley, the 20 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: chief executive officer Barclays, says European investment banks are losing 21 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: control of their own markets to US rivals as they 22 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: shrink and struggle to make a profit at stock antecks, 23 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: futures rising before new home sales data that may show 24 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: an improving economy.

Right here on 28 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Radio, Save Annance continues with Mike McKee and Tom Keane. 29 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: Thank you very much, John Tucker. We're continuing our look 30 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: and here on Bloomberg Ship ailance the Federal Reserve and 31 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: what it may or may not do next. And one 32 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: of the questions is how do they know what to do? 33 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: Dave Stockton was a guy who for years his job 34 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: was to figure that out for them. He was the 35 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: former director of the Division of Research and Statistics at 36 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 1: the Board of Governors, basically the chief economist for the FED. 37 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: Dave is now with the Peterson Institute for International economics, Dave, 38 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: can you make an economic case for the Fed to 39 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: raise rates now? UM? A lot of people are saying, 40 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: you know, we don't need to, but it's more of 41 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: a desire by the Fed to get off the zero bound, 42 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: basically get as far away from it as they as 43 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: they can at the moment. So I think the economic 44 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: case can be made for a rate hike UH at 45 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: least by by the end of the summer UM, on 46 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: the basis of an economy that continues to grow and 47 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: grow above trent. I know a lot of people were 48 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: concerned about the week first quarter, but I think things 49 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: are bouncing back here in the second quarter. UH. Employment 50 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: situations still looks strong, and despite that figure that most 51 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: people thought was kind of low, in a hundred and 52 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: sixty thousand last month, that actually twice what we need 53 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: to absorb the increase in the labor force. So we're 54 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: still growing above trend and unemployment rate that is likely 55 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: to drift lower, and we've seen I think some firming 56 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: of inflation in recent months, so I think the case 57 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: for some small further increase in rates is a reasonable 58 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: one at this point. Is that your base case at 59 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: this point that the said would go ahead. They at 60 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: least from the sound of things, they seem rather determined. 61 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: So um, my base case would be I think it's 62 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: a little less than fifty fifties that they'll move in June, 63 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: in part because with the British vote taking place just 64 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: a few days after the f MC meeting, I think 65 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: they might be reluctant to uh tighten into a period 66 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: of financial volatility. So I think they're likely to wait 67 00:03:54,440 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: until July, and assuming that Britain does not exit, they 68 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: have a stronger case I think, to do so then, 69 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: and probably a less risky situation by by the time 70 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: of their July meeting. Do you know, and I guess 71 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: you probably lectured on this at Yale in Trinity years ago, 72 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: what actual progress means? I mean, Mike and I are 73 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: still trying to figure out what a live meeting means 74 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: or a dead meeting, but I want to meeting. What 75 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: does actual progress mean, actually, Professor. So that's a good question, 76 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: and there's currently no no clear definition of what actual 77 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: progress would be, but I think I would charm it 78 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: at least in from the FENSE perspective at this point 79 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: on two dimensions. One, they want to continue to see 80 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: the labor market improved and take up some of the slack, 81 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: and they really want to be I think, reasonably confident 82 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: that inflation is firming up, and then they've seen some 83 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: actual progress I think on vote those dimensions. So I 84 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: think that's going to make uh, uh, make them more 85 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: interested in going ahead and starting this tightening process. And 86 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: in terms of hey, I attended a few dead meetings 87 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: in my time at them. Yeah, the ones if you 88 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: were just dreadfully boring. But I think, um, at this point, uh, 89 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: they will want to keep the option open moving in July, 90 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: and they've got the capability of making sure that the press, 91 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: the public market participants are ready for that. I think 92 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: they've already sort of prepped the battlefield, so to speak, 93 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: in terms of of making a move in July. And uh, 94 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: President Dudley certainly, I think, hinted at that fairly strongly. Um. 95 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: You know, I think my own view is that the FED, 96 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: it could make every meeting that make a more convincing 97 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: case that every meeting is lie by having a press 98 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: conference after every meeting. And I know, you know, early 99 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: on with some resistance of that at the FED, because 100 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: it much looked like it would be you know, so 101 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: much work and puts so much pressure on the on 102 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: the chair. But you know, Bernankee and Yellen, I think 103 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: have used those meetings of those press conferences quite effectively 104 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: to communicate FED policy. So, um, you know, I don't 105 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: think they're there yet, but that's probably where they should be. Well, 106 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: she always looks like she's having root canal when she's 107 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: talking to us those press conference is. Uh, but how 108 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: do you square her press conference after the April meeting 109 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: with the Fed minutes. She was very toughish in that meeting. Yeah, 110 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: so I think I was quite frankly surprised at the 111 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: hawkish tenor of the minutes. Uh. You know, I think 112 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: Cherry Yellen is probably to the dobish side of the 113 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: middle of that committee. Uh. And some of that press 114 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: conference sort of reflected that. Now. They've also, subsequent to 115 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: the meeting, gotten some stronger date economic data, at least 116 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: on on the spending side of things. So I think 117 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: that's probably given more um, you know, more impetus to 118 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: the centers who are ready to move. And I think 119 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: that's what we're that's what we've been hearing more recently. 120 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: Let's come back and I promise you will inflict you 121 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: with a discussion of negative industries.

Look at the two years. We're talking 171 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: with Dave Stockton, who's now at the Peterson Institute, but 172 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: the former director of research for the Federal Reserve that 173 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: Dave of the big concern for the Fed in January 174 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: was the externalities that what was happening overseas and the 175 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: volatility in the financial markets. We don't seem to be 176 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: getting the same sort of reaction in the markets now 177 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: that we had in January to the idea of further 178 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 1: FED activity. So I think back in January. That was 179 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: a combination of factors. One obviously was FED tightening itself 180 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: in the prospect of more That is, the FED was 181 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: telling the markets at that time to expect four rate 182 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: increases over the course of two thousand sixteen. The Feds 183 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: looking considerably less aggressive now. But also I think there 184 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: were amplified concerns both about the global economy and the 185 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: domestic economy and just how weak things are. I think 186 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: those concerns have abated somewhat. I don't think we're out 187 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: of the woods on the on the global economy, and 188 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: as I said earlier, I think of the U S 189 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: economy is looking you know, reasonably strong. So I think, uh, 190 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: you know, markets, uh, I think they're going to be 191 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: able to digest some for their rate hikes. There the 192 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: FED is gonna be in a situation I think, you know, 193 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: tightening is never going to be a smooth process. Uh. 194 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 1: And if they move in June and July, I think 195 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: they're going to pull forward, you know, maybe more tightening 196 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: than would normally be expected, as markets revised their expectations 197 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: about not just the current uh UM level of rates, 198 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: but the rate level of raids going forward. And I 199 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: think that's gonna, you know, produce more tightening, maybe more 200 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: tightening the side will expect even at that time. Uh, 201 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: and that's going to cause them to then be on pause, 202 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: I think to the end of the year. Well, one 203 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: of the questions that Bill Dudley was asked the other 204 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: day it was how do you deal with the fact 205 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: that if you raise rates you're going to see a 206 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: tightening of financial conditions, dollar rise, etcetera. And he kind 207 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: of looked at the question and said, that's the point, right, Well, 208 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: I think that's the point. The issue is sort of 209 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: calibrating that. And I think what they saw in after 210 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: their December meeting was that they got more tightening than 211 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: they were expecting for that five basis point increase. And Uh, 212 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: that's the issue is getting just the right amount, not 213 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: too much and not too little. Can they be led 214 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: around by the markets? Don't they have to at some 215 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 1: point just risk market reaction otherwise they're gonna be stuck 216 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: unable to move forever. Yes, I think you could kind 217 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,719 Speaker 1: of take a look at the last couple of months, 218 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: and especially in the wake of the of the most 219 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: recent minutes, Uh, is the Fed not necessarily feeling like 220 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: they're you know, completely hamstrung by markets that aren't expecting 221 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: an increase, and through their communication begin to prepare the 222 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: markets or revived at the markets to revise their expectations. 223 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: But they can't be uh can't ignore market expectations either, 224 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: And um, you know, I think uh, until those minutes, uh, 225 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 1: they were looking at a situation where the surprise of 226 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: the markets would have been so large that they would 227 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: have gotten a lot more volatility than they wanted to. 228 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: Now they're probably in a little more comfortable, a little 229 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: more comfortable position. And that's the combination of both the 230 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: improving tender of the data and their communications and their 231 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: indication of a willingness to go ahead and move And 232 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: what are their degrees of freedom right now? I mean, 233 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: you've always brought a statistical vent to this. There's a theory, 234 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: there's a whole belief out there. I'm particularly among FED 235 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: critics that there they they've left orthodox theory and they're 236 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: flying by the seat of their pants. Do you have 237 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: a degree of confidence or a confidence in their wiggle 238 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: room to move forward? What's what's the confidence they can 239 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: get this done? So? I think the confidence that they 240 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: can get it done is going to depend largely on 241 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: the data evolving in a way that they're currently expecting. 242 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: If the data confirm that, in fact, the economy is 243 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: improving and that uh uh, some increase in interest rates 244 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: is needed in order to respond to both an improving 245 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: economy and some increase in inflation back towards their objective, 246 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: then they that gives them the wiggle room. If the 247 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: data aren't confirming that, then obviously I think in some 248 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: sense they're going to be stocked, and they should be. Uh. So, 249 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: I think it's really driven more, and it should be 250 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: driven more by economic conditions and not necessarily by just 251 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: some desire on the part of the FED to normalize rates. 252 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: I think, you know, as I listened to the FED 253 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: communications late last year, it sounded to me like they 254 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: just wanted to start raising rates and to get things normalized. 255 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: Uh and their default was action and only at the 256 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: data came in weaker would they stop. And that's of 257 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: course exactly what happened. And now I think through the 258 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: spring we saw just the opposite, a situation where their 259 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: default was in action unless the data caused them to move. 260 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: And now I think, uh, they're seeing that and they're 261 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: feeling more comfortable with the prospects of tightening. David thinking 262 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: so much. David Stockton with Peterson Institute, with a chat 263 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: on the parlor game. You know, I think of Brexit 264 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: and b Remain and Mike, it's almost like fed fed fed, 265 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: sick and fed main. I mean, I mean, it's it's 266 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: to me almost a sillier discus. Well, they need to 267 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: make light of it, but yeah, to me, it's just 268 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: the parlor game. Michael Bard, do you have an opinion 269 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: on the fete in June or July? Everyone else does. 270 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: Mine is just as good as everybody there. We go 271 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: very good. What's a year one guest? Well, what we 272 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: seem that what we seem to have now, Tom is 273 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: a lot of disagreement, you know, half of the kind 274 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: of lining up on the side of raise rates, half 275 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: lighting up on the side of they shouldn't raise rates. 276 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: But everybody agreed they're going to whether they should or not. 277 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: Everybody seems to think that differ to, among others, the 278 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: good President of the New York Fat Mr Dudley, that 279 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: they have to see what the data is. I would 280 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: agree with you, Mike. The jobs report seems to be 281 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: pretty important. June three, but they've got to see the 282 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: data come in right before they make a decision. Make 283 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: it like in the next day or two. This is 284 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: an employee that they are not waiting for data to 285 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: tell them whether to raise rates or not. They're waiting 286 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: for data to tell them not to kind of course, 287 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: to do it. Massive type two constructs that could include Brexit. 288 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: But to your yield point nine ones seven six, to 289 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: your yield point nine two percent, that's a higher yield 290 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: This morning, this hour, survellance quantity by Volvo Cars, White Planes. 291 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 1: Visit Volvo Cars, White Planes dot com.

A senior 293 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: Egyptian forensics official is telling Associated Press human remains that 294 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: have been recovered from the crash site have burns on 295 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: them and are very tiny, suggesting that an explosion may 296 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: have taken place on board egypt Air flight eight oh four. However, 297 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: Middle East News Agency disputes the report, and aviation consultants 298 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: Steve Gannard says it is too early to jump to conclusions. 299 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: I would actually suggest that that what he's drawing his 300 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: conclusion thought would suggest the opposite, and that is a 301 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: high speed water impact Egypt air Flight eight oh four, 302 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: with sixty six people on board, was flying from Paris 303 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: to Cairo, and it crashed into the Mediterranean.

Sanders describes it as 307 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: the largest and most important primary and the presidential nominating process. 308 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: Clinton turned down the Fox News invitation to debate Sanders 309 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 1: ahead of that primary. Clinton spoke to him and says 310 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: the campaign feels it's more important to campaign and meet 311 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: directly with voters in the state.
