Neil 9 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 2: Dudda with a blistering note this morning, and Kevin Wash, 10 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 2: mister Dudda is economist Renaissance Macro. Neil come on the 11 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 2: first sentence, President Trump has picked everyone's least favorite candidate. 12 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: Discuss Was it something I said? 13 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 3: I don't think I stuttered that. You know, look, well 14 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 3: he is everyone's least favorite candidate. I mean, I mean 15 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 3: to me, look, the main criticism I have of Kevin 16 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 3: Walsh is lack of judgment. Okay, because the performance his 17 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 3: performance during the financial crisis was not a pretty particularly 18 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 3: good one, and I think you could say arguably that 19 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 3: it is disqualifying. I mean to be that concerned about 20 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 3: inflation at a time when the unemployment rate was rising 21 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 3: very rapidly, you know it kind of strange fradulity. So 22 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 3: and in the years since, everyone makes bad calls, Okay, 23 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 3: I mean I've been market treat economist for a while. 24 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:46,559 Speaker 4: I've made bad calls. 25 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 3: Everyone makes bad calls. The issue is when you make 26 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 3: bad calls and you're always wrong in the same direction 27 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 3: that to me was open minded. 28 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 2: This I can't just say enough how I agree with that. 29 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: Not for mister Walsh, folks, but part of the game 30 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: is to be wrong and learn from it. You call 31 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 2: him a cookie cutter Republican coming off of Bush the younger, 32 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: the idea that he's a sweetheart of Wall Street, and 33 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: you say it's time you equate it here to say 34 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 2: worsh would make sense if Mitt Romney was president Donald 35 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 2: Trump is not. Mitt Romney discuss the card carrying Republican 36 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: dealing with President Trump on a meeting to meeting basis, Well, think. 37 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 3: About some of the I mean, President Trump, I think, 38 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 3: relative to the median Republican official, at least in my lifetime, 39 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 3: has much better monetary policy instincts. I mean, remember there 40 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 3: was a time when people like Paul Ryan and Mitt 41 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 3: Romney were talking about changing the Fed's mandate to just 42 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 3: purely a price stability one. It's people like Kevin Warsh 43 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 3: that love that, right. So you know, President Trump, by contrast, 44 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 3: in many cases, got the nomination by bucking a lot 45 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 3: of the traditional Republican orthodoxies right on trade, on immigration, 46 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 3: on social insurance. 47 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: On the FED. 48 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 3: And so I think that's what makes this so perplexing 49 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 3: for you know, the so called greatest jobs president that 50 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 3: God ever invented. He's picked someone that's, you know, frankly, 51 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 3: based on his record, a threat to working people. 52 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 2: Okay, So. 53 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 3: A member of the sort of MAGA movement, Kevin Warsh 54 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 3: is not okay. And that's why I say, I mean, 55 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 3: remember there's also he has a track record too, right, 56 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 3: I mean he's been he's critiqued previous administrations for not 57 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 3: pursuing free trade deals. Now he's being nominated by someone 58 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: that's trying to you know, rip up the sort of 59 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 3: global trading system and trying to kind of move it 60 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 3: towards the US's favor, America's favor. So that's why I say, like, 61 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 3: if you think that this is sort of a populist pick, 62 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 3: if you think this is uh, you know, someone that's 63 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 3: a member of the sort of president's base. I'm not 64 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 3: so sure about that. 65 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 5: Right, Hey, Neil, given this nomination, what do you think 66 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 5: FED Chairman J. 67 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: Powell will do. 68 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 4: Well? 69 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 3: As I say, I mean Kevin Worsh's newfound dubbishness. I mean, 70 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, now that he's in the sort 71 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 3: of public interview process for this job, all of a 72 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 3: sudden he likes right cuts. 73 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 6: Okay, So that. 74 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 3: Suspicion, I think is going to peak the interest or 75 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 3: that that about face from Worsh is going to peak 76 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 3: the interest of not just your own Powell, but a 77 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 3: lot of the people around the table at the form C. 78 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 3: So if your Powell, I don't know, maybe you want 79 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 3: to stick around a little bit longer. 80 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 2: See what's interesting interesting? Good morning everyone, Neil dought it 81 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 2: with Jay Hebfield on deck. Claudia Sun coming up later. 82 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 2: This is a special edition of Bloomberg Surveillance Across a Erica. 83 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 2: Kevin Walsh point nominated, I should say, by the President 84 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 2: of the United States to replace your own Powell. Of course, 85 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: confirmation by banking is necessary, you know, I want to 86 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: polarize here the vector of Stephen Myron and Michael McKee 87 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: speaking with the governor Myron this afternoon, who's looking for 88 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 2: a hugely accommodative fed with the natural restrictiveness of Kevin 89 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: at Walsh. I mean, basically, Myron and worsh are polar 90 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: opposites that I can see in terms of tone discuss that. 91 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: Does a president understand this is not a Myron replacement? Yeah, 92 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: I'm not so sure. 93 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 3: I mean I think look, I mean, the president is 94 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: trying to find someone that kind of that sort of 95 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 3: believes in this notion of a golden age, you know, 96 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 3: of strong productivity. 97 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 2: Growth. 98 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: Lower nehru, I guess, and maybe he's found his person in, 99 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: you know, maybe he's found his person in in Kevin Warsh. 100 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 3: You know, Steve Myron has been making similar arguments. But again, 101 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 3: I mean look at the you know, look Tom, I 102 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 3: mean Myron. Has Byron been successful and swaying the committee 103 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 3: to his point of view? 104 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? This kid comes out of Albany, he ends up 105 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 2: at Stanford under the guys of Michael Boskin and John Taylor. 106 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: He's got a shingle out Neil Dudd at the Hoover Institution. 107 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: This screams to me restrictive GOP economics. Am I wrong 108 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 2: on that? Jay, Yeah, Fields over your nodding, you know, 109 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 2: am I wrong on that? 110 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 5: Nice? 111 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: I mean, look, look, I mean this is someone that 112 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 3: he clearly overweights the inflation side of the Fed's mandate 113 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 3: relative to employment. Okay, I mean I don't. I don't 114 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: think that that's a pretty particularly controversial thing to say. 115 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 3: One thing I would say, though, is that you've heard 116 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 3: a lot of folks in the administration talk about how 117 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: they want the new FED chairman to kind of pull 118 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 3: and Alan Greenspan right, And so the idea here is 119 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 3: that in the nineties time, as you know, Alan Greenspan 120 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 3: resisted the temptation to raise interest rates in the mid 121 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 3: nineties because you know, productivity was strong and you know, 122 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 3: inflation was was slowing right now, if you actually go 123 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 3: back at the time, I mean that was coming off 124 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 3: of a period where inflation had already been slong. So 125 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 3: that was sort of the opportunistic disinflationary years, right. 126 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: And if you look at that. 127 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 3: Time during the nineties, what was green Span really doing. 128 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 3: He was really just following a tailor rule. So the 129 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 3: reason why they didn't hike in the mid nineties is 130 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 3: because the data were more or less telling them not 131 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 3: to hike in the mid nineties. I mean, yes, it 132 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: is true the unemployment or it was declining, but inflation 133 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: was also rapidly fallen. And the combination of those two 134 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: things is why interest rates didn't go up the policy 135 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 3: rate that is. But you know, rarely is it meant. 136 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 3: And you know, when you talk about pull at green Span, 137 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 3: look think about what happened in the late nineties. There 138 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: was an aggressive hiking cycle about a year after the 139 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 3: LTM LTCM blow up. And why was that happening. That 140 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 3: was happening because the labor markets were red hot, right, 141 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 3: So again I mean we were having it maybe a 142 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 3: golden age then too, right, I mean strong activity growth. 143 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 3: But because the labor markets were on fire, Alan Greenspan 144 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 3: rapidly increased interest rates. So this notion of like pulling 145 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 3: Alan Greenspan, I think it's a bit of a it's 146 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 3: a bit of a choose your own adventure. 147 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, Neil, how. 148 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 5: Controversial, if at all? Do you think this confirmation process 149 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 5: will be for mister Warsh. 150 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 6: I mean, you know, it's hard to know. 151 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 3: I mean, I think there's obviously a lot of things 152 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 3: going on in the background, right, I mean, Senator Tillis 153 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 3: has basically said that he'd slow down the nomination process 154 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 3: so long as this this investigation into the head and 155 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 3: you know, Jerome Powell remains open. We'll see if he 156 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 3: means that, but that could presumably slow the process down 157 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 3: a little bit. But as you know, guys, I mean 158 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 3: these these this role has become less sort of bipartisan, 159 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 3: right Like in my career it was sort of every 160 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 3: you know, every every person that's been up the Jet 161 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 3: Yankee has had a thinner and thinner margin in the 162 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 3: Senate when they've gotten confirmed. 163 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 2: You know, I got to get the Jay Hatfield. But 164 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 2: let me frame this out. We're gonna go to Hatfield. 165 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask them the same questions, folks, Neil dot 166 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,479 Speaker 2: right now. And you've been phenomenal about the labor fragility 167 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 2: of America. What is your real GDP forward the chairman 168 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 2: worship is going to deal with and the inflation overlay 169 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: that's gonna upset him to get the nominal GDP. How 170 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 2: do you frame that out through the rest of the year. 171 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, for me, Tom, you know, I have 172 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 3: a very much a state of labor market driven view, 173 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 3: and you know, aggregate hours are barely rising and wage 174 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 3: growth is slowing, so you know, I think we're basically 175 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 3: in on track for you know, essentially a four percent 176 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 3: nomenal growth environment, maybe even a little bit lower than that. 177 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 3: I mean, if you look at wages and salaries over 178 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 3: the last couple of quarters. Quite so, really you have 179 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 3: to you have to tell a tale for why the 180 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 3: labor markets are going to strengthen. And it's hard to 181 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 3: do that right now because you look at what consumers 182 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 3: are saying about the jobs market. 183 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 2: Okay, We've got to leave it there, folks, and I'm 184 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 2: going to not mince words.

More from Bloomberg Surveillance coming 191 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 2: up after this. 192 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Bloomberg Surveillance podcast. Catch us live 193 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: weekday afternoons from seven to ten am Eastern Listen on 194 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: Applecarplay and Android Auto with the Bloomberg Business app or 195 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: watch us live on YouTube. 196 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 2: Chris Waller goes to the heart of the matter, which 197 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: Claudia some has lived, which is the jargon of their 198 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 2: world outreach meetings. I can't emphasize enough how hard our 199 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 2: public officials work. They go to every rotary breakfast yep. 200 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: I can't say enough, folks, how they're on the road 201 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 2: and not in the office with their Bloomberg terminal. Claudia 202 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 2: Some Governor. Waller says, there are multiple outreach meetings of 203 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 2: planned layoffs, and I'm going to editorialize firings. Do you 204 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 2: see that trend? Doctor, some of layoffs like Amazon like ups. 205 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 7: So we have certainly seen layoff announcements pick up that 206 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 7: this is not new right. We saw several of them 207 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 7: last year, and say theer announcements at this point, we 208 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 7: haven't seen them translate into jobless claims, broader measures, aggregate 209 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 7: measures of layoff. So I think there's every reason to 210 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 7: be concerned about the labor market. There's some signs of stabilization. 211 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 7: But I think Waller is appropriate to point out when 212 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 7: are not out of the woods yet. 213 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 2: Stanford Economics, everybody's got a different flavor associated with the 214 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 2: Hoover institution. What kind of inflation a hawk? What kind 215 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 2: of economist or lawyer comfortable with a restrictive policy? Is 216 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 2: Kevin Worsh? What, Claudius sam flavor is he? So? 217 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 7: I mean I was at the FED when Kevin Worsh 218 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,479 Speaker 7: was a governor. I've watched him in action as a policymaker. 219 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 7: I've certainly followed his comments since then. I mean there's 220 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 7: a lot about his track record and his recent comments 221 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 7: about what we see in the economy and what's appropriate 222 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 7: for interest rates. All that said, I think the conversation 223 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 7: about Kevin Warsh and again today he got the nomination. 224 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 7: He's not the FED chair yet, he needs to go 225 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 7: before the Senate and I think the hearing, his confirmation hearing, 226 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 7: should be a pretty difficult one because right now, the 227 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 7: big conversation is about the independence of the FED. Will 228 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 7: it be free from political influence and setting interest rates? 229 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 7: And there are some comments from Kevin Worsh. I think 230 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 7: he needs to be asked about and that goes before 231 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 7: all his views on the economy. 232 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 5: So, Claudia, what do you think the FED should be 233 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 5: thinking about right now? Again, it's got that dual mandate here, 234 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 5: and we're getting more and more data. 235 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 4: As we speak here. 236 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 5: What do you think the focus should be or is 237 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 5: for the FED right now? 238 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 7: Well, the Fed, the Fed's focus should be its dual mandate. 239 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 7: It should be about maintaining maximum employment and getting inflation 240 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 7: back to the two percent target using the tools that 241 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 7: it has. I mean, this is where you know, the 242 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 7: unemployment rate is below four and a half percent, the 243 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 7: inflation rate is around three percent, much lower than it was, 244 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 7: you know, just a few years ago. But you know 245 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 7: it's not it's not all the way back to target. 246 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 7: So I think there, you know, their job is not done. 247 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 7: But I don't see this as a moment where we 248 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 7: need to have, as Kevin worsh has talked about, a 249 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 7: regime change, come in and knock heads right there. There's 250 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 7: work to be done the like. There needs to be 251 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 7: a continuity, a continued focus on the two sides of 252 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 7: the mandate and and if we have a disruption of that, 253 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 7: that could be you know, really problematic in general. 254 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: Paul, was that, Claudia, sam shade? 255 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 8: Is that maybe a little bit shade there, Claudia, how 256 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 8: do you think mister Walsh will work with, interact with, 257 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 8: deal with the other members of the FED here. 258 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 7: What if he is confirmed, he's the public comments that 259 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 7: he's made in recent months suggest that he's going to 260 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 7: come in on a pretty combative footing. I mean he's 261 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 7: used words like knock some heads. He's been very critical 262 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 7: of the FED. I mean, he went so far as 263 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 7: to accuse the FED of its rate cuts in twenty 264 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 7: twenty four as the unemployment rate was rising, that that 265 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 7: was political, right, That's a really serious accusation to make. 266 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 7: The FED was reacting to a labor market that looked 267 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 7: like it might be unraveling. So I think he's going 268 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 7: to come in. You know, the FED works by consensus. 269 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 7: He's by his own remarks. I think he's going to 270 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 7: have a tough time building consensus, but he is capable 271 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 7: of doing that. It's just it's a it's going to 272 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 7: be a could be a rocky transition. 273 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: Claudia sam with us. We're thrilled to have her here 274 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 2: in the nine o'clock or do we have Paul yet 275 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 2: when we're going to get a press conference? I have 276 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 2: not seen for the President of the United States, we 277 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: don't have it yet. But again, for those joining a 278 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 2: nominee as chairman of the Federal Reserve System, Kevin Walsh. 279 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: This morning, we've heard from Christopher Waller and his descent. 280 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll hear from others through the day. I 281 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 2: want to emphasize here and again, folks, this comes down 282 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 2: to the pedigree. Claudia Sam Michigan, PhD. Absolutely definitive and 283 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 2: trying to understand the court to the corter gyrations of recession, 284 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 2: or Richard Clareda, the vice chairman, and all of his 285 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 2: work at Columbia where he literally herded cats at Columbia 286 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: for years, and his work with a strange thing called 287 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 2: dynamic stochastic general equilibrium theory. Doctor some lawyer Powell. I 288 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 2: guess we really didn't know what he was going to 289 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 2: do other than he was a finance guy. What was 290 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 2: the song last summer looking for a finance guy?

Months last, 294 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 7: year he's very critical of the models that THE fed, 295 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 7: uses has called them. Outdated has you, know really push 296 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 7: the idea that we need a new? THINKING i, mean 297 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 7: one of the. Things you, Know powell came in he 298 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 7: was not a diet in the world monetary policy. Theorist, 299 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 7: yeah but he came in as a governor and then 300 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 7: continue on his chair as really listening to the experts around, 301 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 7: him building his, understanding relying on their, expertise being very data. 302 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 4: Driven you, know this. 303 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 2: Is the heart of the. Matter, doctor some you worked 304 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 2: With warsh at THE. Fed do you suggest he will 305 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 2: mimic the pattern Of Governor powell or is there going 306 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 2: to be a different approach here where he does not 307 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 2: listen TO fed. 308 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 7: PhDs i'm reacting to comments that he made just within 309 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 7: the last. Year now you, know it's over a decade 310 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 7: ago when he was a. GOVERNOR i, think you, know 311 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 7: we really need to listen to what he's been saying. 312 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 7: Recently and he's been extremely critical of THE fed, models 313 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 7: extremely critical of the staff and the CURRENT fed. Officials 314 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 7: so you, KNOW i think he'll be different Than, powell 315 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 7: and it could be different in a way that's disruptive 316 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 7: and not. 317 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 5: Productive, Claudia i'm looking at a note From Ben emmons 318 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 5: At Highline Asset management in which he, says Quote worsh 319 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 5: has made it explicitly clear in Is Hoover Institutional interview 320 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 5: In may of twenty twenty, five that THE fed is 321 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 5: responsible for interest, rates administration is responsible for the, budget 322 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 5: and that this should be the basis for a NEW 323 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 5: Fed treasury. Accord how radical are out of consensus is. 324 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 7: That it's extremely radical and out of. Consensus my biggest 325 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,719 Speaker 7: concern with Worsh AND i think this is something that 326 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 7: he should be asked about by The. Senate, right let 327 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 7: him explain more his thinking on. IT i don't want to, 328 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 7: prejudge BUT i mean he's talked about that there needs 329 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 7: to be a coordination use those, words a coordination between 330 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 7: The White house And treasury on the balance. Sheet we 331 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 7: need to remember The fed's balance sheet is an instrument 332 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 7: of monetary.
