chair powell: no.avid: so you need to get to 2% and your goal to get there is by what period of time you would like to get there? chair powell: we say we are using our tools to get there over time. if you look at our forecast, we expect 2023 to be a year of significant declines in inflation. it is actually our job to make sure that is the case. i would tell you that with inflation headline, pce inflation is running about 5% on a 12 month basis. core inflation is at 4%. my guess is it will take into not just this year, but next year to get close to 2%. david: so 2% is firm? you are not going to get off that? chair powell: yes. david: the theory of raising interest rates is that it will decrease economic activity and increase unemployment. but you have been increasing interest rates for a while and unemployment is now at a record low. what is wrong with the theory? why is unemployment not getting higher? chair powell: the labor market is strong because the economy is strong. as i mentioned, it is a good

so, jay powell, jerome powell, who is he? where did he come from? for people who only heard of him a few years ago when he became fed chair. tell us about his background. he ended up in the position he's in. yeah. so jerome powell is a local he's from this area. he grew up and grew up in georgetown or chevy chase, and he was the child of a fairly family in the area. they were catholic. he went to georgetown and he went to the same school that brett kavanaugh went to. actually, he went private here. he went to georgetown afterwards. he went to princeton. then he went to georgetown for law school lawyer, worked in sort of law for a little bit, but then kind of made the jump to finance. spent a lot of his career in finance worked in private equity for a while and of flit in between the private and public sector for much of its career. so we saw him working at treasury sort of in the domestic finance arms. we saw him working at the fed a governor before he became chair and tell real quickly the story of how he ended becoming a fed governor, because that

but jerome powell is just -- he is really sweet in this interview.e talking to the president of ukraine. and he does not say anything that goes against u.s. policy. he does not reveal any information. >> thank goodness. >> -- >> i wonder what the security conversation was like after. >> i know! >> -- >> the dial in password changed, i'm sure. they got no report yet on who is at fault for this. but we will see. >> all right, vanessa yurkevich, thank you for that. now, this -- a key part of the american dream, owning your own home. so, why is it now out of reach for millions of young americans? harry enten has the raw numbers. because it's late night. it's raw. that's when we come back. get decision tech. for insights on when to buy and sell. and proactive alertsts on market events. thatat's decision tech. only from fidelity.

but is the tone powell struck., when owls -- we've got are run on a major bank, silicon valley bank. it wrecked the entire institution with another bank failure within days. wiped out to zero. simply because the regional banks will lend a lot less now they were trenched the most. we are already seeing -- starting to see that, evidence of it. according to data released by the federal reserve on friday evening. remember, the market is closed. $105 million in a two week period. the biggest supply on record since the fed started tracking the status 60 years ago. when the fed tighten again on march 22nd, they only raise interest like 25 basis points rather than the 50 point double rate hike many expected before the silicon valley bank collapsed that number is staggering. jay powell does not seem to agree. he said it is too soon to intel. he made it clear is fighting inflation and it is far from over. wall street does not believe it. investors bet on interest rates directory. they will be cutting by the end of the year.

fox didn't invent sidney powell.hey hadn't gone on fox they would be out there defaming dominion anyway. so i think fox would say this isn't really our fault, we're just reporting on it. >> reporter: the judge has already ruled that statements broadcast by fox were false and defamatory, and just this past week said fox cannot argue those false statements were newsworthy. still, dominion faces the biggest hurdle of all. to convince a jury that fox and its famous faces acted with actual malice, that they knew the claims were false or had serious doubts about them and aired them anyway. former fox news political editor chris stirewalt. >> didn't you in your deposition say by november 7th when the election was called nobody believed that donald trump had won, right? >> i said no reasonable person. that doesn't include all tv anchors in the category of reasonable persons. i don't know what anybody believed in their heart of hearts. >> reporter: fox news denies actual malice, asserting in court documents that it reported d

privately, carlson called sydney powell a liar, testing boring graham, sydney powell is lying, by thecaught, her insane. but romo put are on the air. which raises the question, why is she's still there if he was fired? listen, whether any of the stunning revelations from the dominion suit are now known to fox viewers, that's an open question. as the new york times pointed out on the day the dominion case was settled for a record amount, it led many major news outlets but was hardly mentioned on fox. quote, the 787.5 million dollar settlement was covered only three times by fox news and about four hours after the settlement became public amounting to about six minutes of coverage. for most of the day, including during the networks primetime show hosts appeared to be focusing on other issues like illegal immigration and covid-19 possible origins. while dominion was not able to extract and on-air apology from fox news, it seems obvious that the network could no longer keep carlson on the payroll because of this case, and apparently other undulated reasons. hopefully, it means the network

tucker carlson told sidney powell quote. you keep telling our viewers that millions of votes were changed by the software. i hope you will prove that very soon. you convinced them that trump will win. if you don't have conclusive evidence of fraud that scale. it's a cruel and reckless thing to keep saying again. he never said anything like that on his show. as the dominion documents point out, carlson hosted other election liars like michael lindell. every outlet in the country. they go michelangelo. there's no evidence and he's making fraudulent statements. no i had the evidence i dare people to put it on. i dare dominion, assuming because then it would get off faster. so this is you know, they don't. they don't want to talk about it. they don't want to say they just say you're wrong, and i'm going out making conspiracy theories go away by doing that. certainly no pushback there. there were times fox anchors made the right call , for instance, neil cavuto cut away from a live field campaign press conference by the former pr

will tell jody powell was his press secretary and jody powell had a great sense of humor. jody powell had gotten by things with carter that other people did not. and jody power powell once told a story that when he was working in the white house that a couple saying something significant. diane, was like wetting your pants when you were wearing dark colored suit that you might feel all warm and comfortable, but would ever notice another one. i can't. is it some program was here i again i'm you've owned it i think it was the history conference saying that tim kraft i believe who worked in carter campaign had heard that he had heard that story and i happened to i don't know he must i got paid very well because he's really staying in the same cheap that we were staying in which is the one we're staying in and now and he was and he just laughed and he said he liked the story. they said, you know, the apple did not fall far from the tree. okay. here is a two part question. that's a tough one. how do you sum up and assess the carter's but also, what do you hope your readers will

do you think that's a smart move , because trump appointed jay powell and biden relies on jay powells big spending, and we all rely on the fed to keep inflation under control, to protect the middle class. is that a good strategy? >> i tell you, i think desantis is right on this. i think the fed deserves to get smacked around a little bit. their track record is terrible. they did an awful job with the silicon valley bank. there was no supervision. there have been fed officials, several, who have had to leave office because they were trading their own personal accounts. i think that jerome powell has been deified in this city, but unjustifiable. lauren: hmmm. that's so interesting to me. just because, you know, i think when you start talking about the fed and some business issues , they go over regular people's heads but if he can connect maybe that could be a winning issue for him. last question, greg. go ahead. >> the hook is inflation. if desantis can tie inflation to the fed's track record, he's going to get some traction. lauren: all right brazil's president met with china's xi-ji

that acknowledgment on the part of chair powell and others that they should look at the thoughtful andeflective around what happened here, that was incredibly important. guest: they sure were. we saw the first round of hearings that share brown and chair mchenry hosted, that we looked at what happened that weekend. as they resolve those institutions and they took the steps to help stabilize the banking sector, that was kind of the first round of hearings. next round of hearings will focus on actual management of the banks themselves, so those questions will be posed. then i think we will have a firmer sense of what happens. it is understandable that people want to do that. host:host: let's talk about the bank itself, it is the first thing that you talk about, three things that were happening. were the lawsuits related to venture capitalist money? guest: this is their bond portfolio. basically, interest rates have been a growing for a long time and as the fed announced that they would be going up, the banks would hedge those interest rate risk. i also have what is very traditionally cal

antonio powell is now facing more than 100 years in prison. good evening, everybody. thanks for being with us tonight on kron, 4 news at 9 o'clock. i'm grant lotus and i'm vicki liviakis. the shooting. happened saturday night in oakland. the family telling kron 4 that this was the result of domestic violence. >> but first, dan thorn in the newsroom for us tonight with more on the charges and this sad case stand. >> vicki rebecca jenkins and her 13 year-old daughter, desiree, were killed by who investigators say was jenkins boyfriend, the alameda county district attorney is calling the case a horrific example of gun violence and she also unveiled the suspect. antonio powell was wanted in connection with domestic violence charges in another state advocates say this shows that domestic violence is a major public health issue. >> a place. it's heartbreaking case and any incidents of domestic violence and is one case too many. jennifer dow raul is the executive director of save a domestic violence program in fremont. >> dow raul says the scope of domestic violence is huge

the fed will be forced to cut sooner than powell wanted to.ipate $8.7 trillion balance sheet, shrinking to $6 trillion by 2025. in in the minutes, the all the fed officials said quantitative tightening will keep going. charles: look what you're talking about. look at the red line. this is the amount of treasurys came off their balance sheet. it is the most ever in one week, the most ever. >> yep. charles: this has serious implications? >> it does. we're pulling liquidity out of the system at the same time that carmax came out today, we'll tighten lending standards a little bit more. commercial, industrial lend something going down. usually going into recession you see companies grabbing for cash. banks are not having any of it. this is part of what happens when policy collides with these bank failures. charles: there was another time, the first time they introduced qe, quantitative easing, they bought everything up. they said they would run off the balance sheet and they never came anywhere close. do you believe they will really run off an ext

who are they being held accountable by, unless it's chair powell?well, it is chair powell and i think when the chairma goes to congress -- he testifies in front of the house and senate a couple times a year -- historically all the questions have been on monetary policy. we will start seeing a lot more quest on the regulatory policy. are they keeping up to what they these to do? do they have proper staff? are there issues going by that are not being covered. this is a huge finding, a bit of a seismic moment because we believe in the united states and i think the u.s. population believes, that banks where they deposit their hard earned money are regulated and we have found out this week in the fed's own report that these banks are not well regulated and they admitted it themselves. i ran a regulated bank. i know that if we would have told our regulator we did not have a -- enough people to regulate ourselves they would have shut us down. >> right. >> we cannot be in a position where the regulators say we do not have enough staff to regulate you proper

jerome powell apparently got pranked.blowing to me. how did this happen? how did he not know it was being pranked? it was a video call. >> you've got to assume volodymyr zelenskyy wasn't on it. it was a one-way video call. the pranksters, a couple of russian comedians that do this all the time just pretended to be volodymyr zelenskyy, the ukrainian president. they do this all the time. they constantly posing as world leaders or prominent firings and then calling other prominent figures and world leaders and having prank calls that aren't necessarily hilarious, but they're sort of intended to be similar to the conversations you'd imagine these two figures would have, as a means of revealing some kind of truth. you know, these people are not going to get interviews with jerome powell normally. the fact they got through to him and then broadcast what he thought was a private conversation. he spoke inflation in the united states. he spoke about how there may be a recession, there may be low economic growth. they also tried to

how jerome powell was the victim of a prank. >>> and school bus hero.ll show you how a 13-year-old boy saved dozens of kids after the driver had a medical emergency. >>> this is the "cbs morning news." > this is the "cbs mornin news." martial arts is my passion. i work out whenever i can. but with my moderate- to-severe eczema, it can be tough. my skin was so uncomfortable. the itching was so bad. now, i'm staying ahead of my eczema. there's a power inside all of us to live our passion. and dupixent works on the inside to help heal your skin from within. it helps block a key source of inflammation inside the body that can cause eczema. so adults can have long-lasting clearer skin and fast itch relief. serious allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems such as eye pain or vision changes including blurred vision, joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines without talking to your doctor. healing from within is a powerful thing. ask your eczema specialist h

look how his eyes burn when he sees jerome powell, and he was set up by mr.avel, his colleague from europe, christingard, and thanks to our last prank victim, when she still thought that she had talked with the real zelensky, we asked her to connect us already with the head of the russian federation, which she did. let's watch the first part and then we will discuss turn it on. why do you think russia was able to overcome the sanctions policy? i was told that the sanctions are hitting the european economy of the eurozone more than russia has grown and now it is, if i'm not mistaken, the ninth in the world in terms of gdp. , firstly, how right you are and it seems that the russians managed to avoid the most severe consequences of the sanctions, we all know the head of the central bank in russia, she did not a trained specialist. we know her from international circles. she is very knowledgeable and smart. so she will do everything so that the russians avoid sanctions as much as possible. although we still think that sanctions are hurting, not as much as we hope

fox didn't invent donald trump or sidney powell. if they would have been defaming dominion anyway.this isn't our fault, we are just reporting on it. >> reporter: the judge already ruled that statements broadcast by fox were false and defamatory and this past week said fox cannot argue those false statements were newsworthy. still dominion faces the biggest hurdle of all. to convince a jury that fox and its famous faces acted with actual malice that they knew the claims were false or had serious doubts about them and aired them anyway. former fox news political editor chris stirewalt. didn't you say by november 7th, when the election was called, nobody believed that donald trump had won, right? >> i said no reasonable person. that doesn't include all tv anchors and the category of reasonable persons. i don't know what anybody believed in their heart of hearts. >> reporter: fox news denies actual malice, asserting in court documents that it reported dominion's denials and pushed back on sidney powell's allegations. >> she never demonstrated that a single actual vote was moved illegit

tucker carlson told laura ingram that powell was lying. and that he had caught her so ingram responded that sydney is a complete nut. no one will work with her. ditto for rudy. in private. it seems they knew however, in public the narrative continued dominion needs in this case. to meet the very high bar of actual malice. that means that fox had knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard for the truth. but from the outside looking in, this seems like a case where that high bar mine actually be met. joining me now is jane kirtley, former executive director for the reporters committee for freedom of the press, and she teaches media law at the university of minnesota. jane thank you so much for being here. you're one of the few. i think who's hoping for a settlement? if i'm right, how come i am hoping for a settlement and i'll tell you simply why, um, nothing good will come of this case going to the u. s supreme court. which is i is what i'm afraid is going to happen, no matter who wins or who loses, and frankly, i would expect a split verdic

sidney powell. >> reporter: -- as fox hosts and their frequent guests, trump lawyer sidney powell and rudy giuliani aired false claims following the election. text messages show tucker carlson saying powell is lying and laura ingraham saying that sidney is a complete nut. >> i think it could be very damaging to fox's stars or to fox's big-name executives, including and especially the murdochs, to have to testify. >> reporter: dominion's lawyers will argue fox was worried about losing viewership and purposely let the false fraud claims continue on-air. but proving defamation requires overwhelming evidence. >> what you're dealing with is a high bar, and it should be a high bar for the simple reason that we want freedom of the press. >> reporter: a final round of jury selection is set for tomorrow morning followed by opening statements unless there is a last-minute settlement. norah. >> scott macfarlane, thank you. >>> we want to turn now to three americans missing at sea for nearly two weeks. a desperate search is under way by the mexican navy and u.s. coast guard. cbs's elise preston h

but dow raul says despite powell's history, the victim or victims are not who should be blamed. we always want to stay centered on. >> the the act of violence is solely on the shoulders of the person who committed the violence. powell is also accused of shooting another child who was visiting the home on birch street at the time of the killings. 3 other kids, including a one year-old escaped uninjured. this was the result of domestic violence. according to jenkins, family, a fundraising effort is right now under way to help the family with any expenses from the tragedy down. raul says these terrifying cases remind people that cultural changes need to happen such as not glamorizing violence against women. >> we see so often and grounds cases. >> where? women are seen things and not fully human. so okay. it's okay to do these things to them because we don't see really mattering. >> reporting in san francisco, dan thorn kron. 4 news. a teacher strike in the east bay is now one step closer to actually happening. state officials denied an appeal from the oakland unified school distri

which bank -- would you own a regional bank right now at all >> no, i mean, chairman powell said the because the government is standing behind their balance sheets they borrowed $300 billion from them they probably wouldn't own a regional bank. they won't all fail -- i mean, they won't all fail. but what happens is a prolonged credit crisis. >> i'm making you janet yellen for the day or jay powell for the day or whomever can whisper. >> it's all in powell's hands. >> beyond lowering rates, what would you do >> there is actually, other than the office asset class, real estate is performing really well like, apartments are full. houses, single-family for rent houses are full. hotels are really full >> you just talked about rents going down >> in some cities, that have situations like austin, where they have mass layoffs, but in general, rents, there's no overbuilding there's almost -- >> the real estate -- >> does that support jay powell saying, maybe we've got to -- >> you have rents that are full and income streams from these real estate assets, but he crushed them by raising rates s

better, and this unpopular idea in the west in a private conversation is still recognized as fat by powellso, like his colleague. christina gard praises the chapter. elvira nabiullina, for correct and timely decisions, the russians managed to avoid the most severe consequences from our sanctions, we all know the head of the central bank of russia , she is an unusually capable specialist who will do everything to avoid sanctions as much as possible. while we still hope otherwise, paul and the russian government are complimented by the fact that they managed to redirect energy exports to east in china and india this means that western restaurants were useless, and this is where american officials from the frs solidarity with european colleagues. and they have no disagreements about who suffered the most from the restrictions of brussels and washington, by far. this is not the united states, you know we have our own energy resources here. so it's definitely not clear that we are talking about eastern european countries here. even more, for example, they suffered the most with numbers. you can

antonio powell was wanted in connection with domestic violence charges in another state. and advocates say this shows domestic violence. it's a major public health issue. >> a place. it's heartbreaking case and any incidents of domestic violence and is one case too many. jennifer dow raul is the executive director of save a domestic violence program in fremont. >> dow raul says the scope of domestic violence is huge and incredibly complicated. in this case, the accused killer antonio powell was a parolee at-large charged in oregon with domestic violence. but dow raul says despite powell's history, the victim or victims are not who should be blamed. we always want to stay centered on. >> the the act of violence is solely on the shoulders of the person who committed the violence. >> powell is also accused of shooting another child who was visiting the home on birch street at the time of the killings. 3 other kids, including a one year-old escaped uninjured. this was the result of domestic violence. according to jenkins, family, a fundraising effort is right now under way to

could be an issue, here is the thing, i think the plus side interesting i think this is what jay powell look at at low 480,000 people back into labor force intoing to shift tide from workers having all power to employees are having all power one of the things powell wants done wages slowing even with this report, wages not keeping up with inflation, i think this could help keep powell away, costco told us this week things are bad walmart told us this week things are bad costco walmart have boots on the ground know more about our economy than any o government data could ever tell us they are telling us the average person is in trouble right now the average person is their back against the wall, and so, we're living on borrowed time, my greatest plea is to federal reserve, please take a step back! your handing work you are doing great, step back watch your handiwork see where it goes from here not talking about cuts we are not talking about a pivot just a pause at this point, i think this underscores the fact we need to take a pause with federal reserve. maria: we will see about that allo

you've got against newsmax, oan, sydney powell, my pillow guy patrick byrne, from overstock. does the outcome of their suit -- have any impact on these other lawsuits does a set a different bar for them obviously, you're not going to expect mike lindell if he does lose, to be able to pa something in the same amount that fox did but what is the bar that has now been set by dominion's lawsuit against fox. >> right, well, obviously, a number of these suits that are still pending are smaller in scale. and sought damages then th suit that dominion brought against fox, but you can see how the venn diagram of th overlap of the facts in a lo of these cases are very similar. and the smartmatic's sui features very many of the same cast of characters in the same storyline. i went back and re-read th complaint after the dominion suit settled, and smartmatic's storyline is virtually identical. that is, that it was vilifie with a wholly invented conspiracy theory, in an effor on the part of fox in some o its guests to win back viewers who were graduating elsewher in the right-wing ecosyste

but sidney powell's version of events was so far out there, which i think helps to explain, you know, because she's so far out there, it helps to explain that their story too is just ridiculous and to really plum the depths of that is really important to go into what she was saying in that slip would be very important to say, what was your understanding, mr. epstein did you have a conversation with somebody about sidney powell and what did they say to you so this gives you all sorts of different leads that you will want to follow up on, what sidney powell said, what they all said not just what is in the text messages, but what were your conversations, and it helps you to put together this mosaic to understand, not just what people were saying, not just what the story was, what the formula was. but also help you with the context and anticipate what the defense will say, because often times, the defense will be, well, that is taken out of context. so a lot of your interview here of a witness is going to be kind of looking toward a preemptive i know what the texts say, but i need to kind

along with giuliani and powell. powell has since been dismissed from the case.n the nearly 300 page complaint. smartmatic alleges fox news knowingly made over 100 false and misleading statements about the company with the assistance of smartmatic software. a backdoor is capable of flipping votes in the lawsuit. smart, maddox says fox had an obvious problem with their story. they needed a villain. they needed someone to blame without any true villain. defendants invented one and made smartmatic the villain in their story. there is much to understand about smartmatic. smartmatic noted in the suit that fox's story was a lie. but it was a story that sold. the lawsuit alleges fox pushed the bogus claims so it wouldn't lose viewers to newer right wing media outlets like newsmax and one american news. fox denies any wrongdoing. in fact, after smartmatic filed his lawsuit, the network said, we are proud of our 2020 election coverage and will vigorously defend this meritless lawsuit in court. yet just one day after smartmatic filed its lawsuit, this president is looking

however, powell has referenced his affinity many times and he wants to break the back of inflation.ou look at the history of what they did, voelker stopped hiking rates and even started cutting rates in 1982 while inflation was above 6% so why did bell could do that with inflation still so high is because he understood the lagged effect of an aggressive tightening policy that he did in previous months. and powell really needs to come to that conclusion, even though inflation hasn't met his targets that he can pause, assess the data over the next few months and needs to go back to hiking, he can do so, but when you are seeing things starting to break, if he were to pause, i think you would see a big settling in the banking industry. i a big settling in the banking indust . ., ., , industry. i want to “ump in there. cant industry. i want to “ump in there. can we _ industry. i want tojump in there. can we blame - industry. i want tojump in there. can we blame all. industry. i want tojump in there. can we blame all of industry. i want to jump in - there. can we blame all of this on high

in another clip, sidney powell asked bartiromo if fox could steer viewers to powell's legal defense fund. bartiromo seemingly agreed to do it, but her producers rejected the idea. aroma was being deferential to sydney powell at around the same time that court papers say other fox hosts were slamming powell and giuliani privately. laura ingram texting tucker carlson saying quote sidney is a complete nut. no one will work with her. ditto with rudy fox news is being sued for $1.6 billion for allegedly promoting false claims about dominion machines rigging. the 2020 presidential election is probably going to be a lot of fallout from this no matter what they can't put this back in the bottle and say. we didn't tell you a lie. they did. overall fox says it didn't defame anyone and shouldn't be held liable for the assertions of hosts and guests on its air. fox says the dominion lawsuit is a violation of its first amendment rights and an attempt to quote publicly smear fox fur covering trump's election claims. the trial is expected to last about six weeks . brian todd, cnn washington alright, th

a woman who's an artist with no election expertise from minnesota sends an email to sydney powell, a lawyer associated with donald trump, tom fitton, the head of the conservative activist group , judicial watch, and then fox business host lou dobbs. the email launches by tying false claims of voting irregularities in multiple states with dominions equipment. it claims that a piece of code was inserted in the software that quote once ballots were fed into the database for tabulation up to 3% of votes for mr trump would automatically switch to mr biden. y 3% well, the email author says well, because that's what american express charges as a merchant. and it's also the cut that jared kushner receives from all donations to the gop. really? then she tosses in as an aside. that supreme court justice antonin scalia was actually murdered at the bohemian grove retreat. okay so wouldn't you want to know? who is this person sending me this? she said that she has spent most of her career as a successful technology analyst who was quote superbly accurate with my forecasts and ideas. she writes. i
