not until i did enjoy a wonderful performance by jerome hines. host: the final two or three minutes here. in the end in your estimation, did nikita khrushchev failed to achieve a different russia, a different vision for russia than joseph stalin? if he did, why? guest: my answer to that is yes. he did succeed. in history i have found you don't succeed 100%. if you can succeed 51% sometimes that is a huge step forward. and i think in this case, he succeeded because if you were in russia at that time, you could sense the difference yourself in the way in which people responded. it was easy there for me to strike up a relationship with somebody on a walk through the park. or in the opera for example if you just leaned over and began talking to someone. you could get a feel for what was happening and it was clear that the mood of the stalin era had dramatically changed. once khrushchev had delivered an extraordinary secret speech in february of 56, it became possible for russians who had lived with fear to begin to feel that the fear was being lifted

for the moment it is not the president but fed chair jerome powell who is moving the markets pulling them out of an earlier hole. so etiquette hads show you at noon eastern, the dow which was down 403 points at the lows, started to make a run for the green just as fed chair powell began speaking at the u.s. monetary policy forum in new york city. you'll see the same pattern with the s&p as we scroll through that, nasdaq, russel. powell struck a calm, composed and i don't know, even sanguine tone about the economy saying it and the u.s. financial system are in a good stable place so here is what wasn't stable. the 10-year yield spiked when he said the cost of being cautious about another rate cut was very low. it went from 4.25% to 4.313% and right now, it is at 4.319%. he even shrugged off slightly weaker-than-expected february jobs report out this morning which showed unemployment did tick up to 4.1% warmer than the 4% expected and a slight miss on job creation which came in at 15 1,000 versus the 160,000 estimate. now, when asked about president trump's on again off again tariff po

. >> the latest jobs report may have given fed chair jerome powell the leeway to be cautious with interestabor department said employers added about 150,000 more jobs last month than they cut. that was slightly below economists expectations, but it was an acceleration from january's hiring on wall street. stocks rose on the final day of the week after another wild day driven by the white house tariff whiplash. the dow was up 222 points, half a percent. the nasdaq gained 126 points, and the s&p 500 was up 31 points. >> tonight, we're learning more details about this year's nvidia gtc conference in downtown san jose. the three day conference is set to start on march 17th. it's san jose's largest conference since before the pandemic. nvidia plans to take over cesar chavez plaza and transform the downtown area. the conference will have nearly 400 exhibitors and include a strong emphasis on the effects of ai across various industries. 300,000 people are expected to attend. san jose mayor matt mehan says the conference will be a financial boon for local businesses. >> it's not just the vendors i

let's ask one of the best in the business, director of consumer research, jerome martis.it's seasonal a, but what makes it intriguing to me is gas is down 4.1. usually went it is, we have moneyed to do other things. these numbers are kind of scaring me right here. the discretionary stuff, is it fading? >> notice the airlines and entertainment is all in red showing that during the holidays consumers definitely traveled. that sector saw an 8% jump in earnings in the fourth quarter. that's expected to drop to a -7.5 in the first quarter, telling you that the party might be over -- charles: the party might be over, but the last hoorah, right this online gaming -- gaming, that's all we're doing. electronics. with we've heard a few retailers particularly automakers saying things like, well, we're going to stop giving discounts and maybe raise prices. i loved your report out this week because you say consumers are waiting. that's what they're waiting for, and if -- your average discount -- has been going back up. >> yes. notice the amount of merchandise on sale is spiked in nove

. >> federal reserve chairman jerome powell testified on the state of the u.s. economy while outlining the central bank's semiannual monetary policy report before the senate banking and urban affairs committee. he also spoke about bank supervision, tariffs, and the pin -- the independence of the guttural reserve board. the hearing runs just under two hours. >> >> good morning. this committee will come to order. chair powell, thank you for being here today. appreciate your willingness to have a chat about some of the issues facing our country. the federal reserve serves the critical role and function in our government and economy. you have the ability to close markets and directly impact the financial future of hundreds of millions of americans. that's why the federal reserve is supposed to be an infinite institution free from politics, but a recent reality, the fed has been susceptible to political pressure. take, for example, the fed's involvement in the network green financial system, which the fed joined in 2020 as president biden was about to assume office.

inflation or that then then maybe in a perverse way, convince the trump white house that this will force jerome powell hands. and maybe if the fed was skittish about cutting rates, you put enough fear and dislocation back into the economy that maybe we can cut rates again. it's a it's a bizarre way, you know, this chaos to rule the economy and to rule, you know, to be the the leader of the free world. but, you know, it is what it is. and you're seeing the desperation. and i think the prime minister of canada is voice. he's kind of a lame duck at this point. people are using equal parts charm, you know, appealing to reason. citing the wall street journal. it's a it's it's really bizarre times we live in. >> yep. invites to hang out with the king. all the things. roben farzad, thank you so much. really appreciate your time. ukrainian president zelenskyy describing his fiery white house meeting with president trump as regrettable, says he is ready to negotiate peace. in a just released video statement from kyiv, the ukrainian leader expressed concern about president trump's decision to pause shipm

secretary, let me ask you about what the fed chair jerome powell had to say on friday. he said, quote, we're still very uncertain about what will be tariffs, for how long, and at what level. can you provide some clarity, mr. secretary? are these tariffs going to be temporary or permanent? >> so, the tariffs that we've started with mexico, canada and china, that was the month of march. these are fentyl-related border-related. china makes the ingredients for fentanyl. it's got to stop. president xi offered president trump in 2019, he put the death penalty on anybody who made the ingredients for fentanyl. instead, we've gotten in 2025, china is subsidizing the production of fentanyl. maximum subsbsidy avlable in china to make the ingredients to kill americans. i mean, this is -- president trump is honest, and he is powerful on it and he's not going to step off the gas. if you are talking about the drug war, let's focus on the drug war and when you want to talk about april 2nd, that's going to be reciprocal tariffs, and i'm happy to talk about that. let's keep those two dif

volatile week on wall street and potentially why they are up right now is because the fed chair, jerome powell, was at an event earlier today and he said that despite these levels of uncertainty, the u.s. economy is actually in a good place and that we just need to wait and see. so when you have the fed chair making a comment like that, that the economy is still working well, it is still doing well, that might have calmed some nerves on wall street, but of course, this has been an up and down week. there are more obviously losses than gains this week, and next week is a brand new week where we might hear about new tariffs. and certainly the market will react to that. but as it stands right now, you have the dow, s&p and nasdaq all just slightly up at this moment. >> it's going to also be difficult to be a business owner when you have trade policy going topsy turvy like this. what if business leaders that you've been talking to shared about what their planning is like? >> yeah, i've been speaking to business owners all week in mexico, in the u.s. and canada. and the way they describe it

jerome robbins was the original choreographer and director in 1959, and the show currently has audrass direction by george c wolfe, a black director, and you with your amazing choreography, which hopefully gets nominated for a tony on april 1st. talk about why it's so important, though, to make sure that it's your own imprint, your own creativity that goes into shows like this, which a lot of people have already seen. >> yeah, i oh, thank. >> you so. >> much for having me. my mother always taught me to always be myself, no matter what spaces that i'm in, and particularly because i am a black woman, it is important for me to stand in my truth and who i am and share my voice through movement, through storytelling, regardless of what space it is. so i'm really excited to have these different avenues to really speak my voice and people hear me. >> and how important is it to lean into your background, your experience, to be able to share it with the masses because you're doing it in a way that's a beautiful medium that actually touches people in different ways. >> thank you. it's who i am

he knows ted fair, and fed chair jerome powell quite well. but he's just such a political novice, jessica. and there are so many people wondering how he will do in a campaign. he was talking about conservative leader pierre poilievre there, who was so far ahead of the liberals up until donald trump was inaugurated. in fact, one poll showed that there was less than a 1% chance that the liberal party would win an election on the day that donald trump was elected. the chances now are 37% still not great. the liberal party is still far behind the conservatives, but certainly they have a shot in this. and this is where things get interesting. pierre poilievre really has been taken on by the maga group. they have certainly posted a lot of what he's been doing in his campaigns, so it will be very interesting now to see how donald trump reacts, and also to see any congratulations that we might get from the oval office. and keep in mind, jessica, this is going to be quite the fancy footwork for someone who is a political novice, even though he's obvio

jerome powell, though, wasn't so bleak today. what's going on? >> so those jobs numbers were a little bit less than expected but still solid 4.1% unemployment rate still okay. but you're right. that's before there were tens of thousands of federal job cuts. 10,000 federal job cuts were shown in those numbers. but there are a lot more since then. and so we're expecting the federal job part of this to continue to decline. and there are a lot of economists looking at for every federal job and every federal contract and every part of the government that's sliced. there are also private sector, private sector knock on effects, too. so trying to figure out what the multiplier effect is of those. and there's just a lot of uncertainty, you know, and uncertainty is the enemy of decisions. so companies that might be making decisions for hiring in the next couple of months, are you going to if you think the tariffs are going to hit you. so there's a lot of uncertainty. and then consumers same thing. consumers are feeling uncertainty. >> the private sector i

well, skip down to professor kelso and we'll hear from him on jerome as in me, i the process, because amity asked if i would about a character, a french connection. you might say to american revolutionary era. one hot sun. in august 1831, alexis tocqueville and his friend gustav, the bomb all toiled a high hill overlooking the river a few miles above albany and began inquiring at the house there for a misuse. tocqueville was gathering materials for book, which would become democracy in, and he wanted to speak. a man who had almost 40 years before been a french diplomat in america who could converse with him in french in the event we have no clear idea of what and misogyny discussed since tocqueville made mention of misogyny in in america and with good reason to sense misogyny was. in fact, the notorious edmund shaw schnee, who had lit the powder, an embarrassing diplomatic of two revolutionary republics france and the united states and tocqueville, was uncertain whether he should publicize his visit. as it turned out. he needn't have worried the man who became known simply as citizen
