britt: i feel like the cost of energy is not what you pay at the pump and it affects every good. i would like to ask you about labor participation. when you look at the unemployment rate and we have heard our colleagues having people that we would like as a nation. i would like to focus on the labor participation rate. right now it is 62 .4%. if there was a increase with people coming back to the workforce, would that be a positive factor in regards to driving us down to the 2% rate you would want to achieve? chair. powell: that would be great the economy wants more people then is working. it would be great for the country and then if they would go to the labor force. sen. britt: increasing capital requirements on financial institutions would have a chilling effect on the economy and the availability of financial services. last week i joined my colleagues in sending you a letter which expressed concerns. senator scott talked about earlier. is the federal reserve concerned about the impact to the economy of increasing capital requirements on financial institutions at the time when

heard ambassador nikki haley and other republicans suggest that as you bounce around the world as brittat first i thought - well, we had afghanistan where we were humiliated and pushed out of the country and biden did nothing. now, we have the chinese balloon, it took about a week before it was shot down. this time, he responded but then he learned of almost 80 attacks like this in the last 15 months. so, yes, it is provacative and i mean it is not good enough to say it is a dangerous part of the world. the world is dangerous, and the job of american government is to let it be known. if you molest an american citizen, you are in trouble. we can't live by seeing these areas saying -- what is iran doing? they know fully well what they are doing and they are testing. >> britt, the president up north in canada with prime minister justin trudeau. this has there is concerns of northern border crossings as you look at the numbers. we talk about the southern border but northern border crossings in 2020 and 2021, the numbers exponentially going up and now there is a new northern border deal and

britt, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. we know there will be trade deals made, joint declarations signed, but really the world will be honed in on any discussions around ukraine, of course. this is the first time xi is visiting russia since putin ordered the invasion, and there's plenty at stake here. the kremlin wants this visit to present a united front and give the impression beijing is rallying behind russia as this war grinds on as questions linger over whether china's tacit support will involve lethal aid. in reality, though, china has walked a very fine line trying to remain kind of publicly neutral while also helping russia weather western sanctions against it, and for the chinese side, this is fresh from brokering the saudi/iran deal. you know, china is hoping it can kind of continue this role of peacemaker with xi very keen to earn respect as a statesman on the world stage and there are also expectations of a call between xi and zelenskyy as well, or at least the white house hopes so, and the white house has crit

britt: when you are looking at this and obviously not to get into a policy discussing -- discussion, if there was an increase in energy would that help the drag down in inflation? chair powell: over time or energy would mean lower energy prices. but we are very focused on what we call core inflation because that is really what is driven by demand and our tools are really aimed at demand. sen. britt: i feel like the cost of energy is not what you pay at the pump and it affects every good. i would like to ask you about labor participation. when you look at the unemployment rate and we have heard our colleagues having people that we would like as a nation. i would like to focus on the labor participation rate. right now it is 62 .4%. if there was a increase with people coming back to the workforce, would that be a positive factor in regards to driving us down to the 2% rate you would want to achieve? chair. powell: that would be great the economy wants more people then is working. it would be g

financial regulators and certainly look forward to working with you in the future >> thanks, senator britt senator warner is recognized. >> good to see you, chairman powell again thank you by saying, depending on who's asking questions, we're pounding you for how quickly we're going to drive inflation back to 2% or pounding you on making sure that we don't push the economy into a recession and drive up unemployment. i actually think you've done a pretty good job in terms of ratcheting up rates and then starting to tail off a little bit. i think we all were concerned by the january numbers. it popped up a little more i wish, mr. chairman, we were actually having this hearing two weeks from now because we're going to have a lot more data later in this week and next week net-net, we've still got ways to go and the january numbers were concerning i do think your tailored approach, we can all second guess but i think it's been the right approach i want to commend you on that. i want to get two questions in one, one of the areas that i am very worried about is commercial debt i mean, we've got a
