"don't mess with me" will be the catch phrase in washington for quite a while and i think she wasn't feeling that well that daynd it provoked a sharper response but i think it was beneficial to her because it was unscripted and it allowed her to lay out the case that this isn't r her -- and i think credibly -- that this is not about her feelings but about the constitution. you're right she has come around to this reluctantly but once she makes up her mind, she is going to move forward and that's what they're doing here. robert: are house democrats comfortable with the decision to move forward, sue? susan: they really are. if youook at the vote they had to officially authorize the investigation and formalizehe process in the committees, that told you where the caucus was. every vote on impeachnt is a test vote. one thing pelosi did tell mmembers this week is not going to whip this vote. they're looking at the vote on artic

good morning, rick >> good morning, carl. welcome my first friday of the month chair ed lazear, advisers under george w. bush thank you for joining me today wow. 266,000, upgrades to wages looked like a pretty good report to me. what did you think >> yeah. i mean, there's no question, this is one of the strongest reports in a long time the truth is, it is surprising we're pretty much at full employment, beginning numbers like 266 you know, i like to smooth these things, look at the three month moving average rather than the individual month, but look, the three month average was 205,000. even there, we are way up. the question is why is that, how can we be this late in the recovery and still be getting jobs like that i would say it is primarily a couple of things the first is that it turned out, population growth was very high. part of the job growth reflects that we have more people in the population and labor force that's number one. the second thing is that baby boomers are a driven generation. you look at the numbers and

carl is like, no. constance: constance --carl: constance first.cost of our imports then go down. as far as the administration pumping out money, we don't -- we just had a $150 billion stimulus in fiscal year 2018 and fiscal year 2019. now we are having a drop off in fiscal spending, and we are not having that $150 billion repeated. so i don't know where that is coming from, where that view is coming from. carl: i agree the administration will try to crank out some economic oomph, but that will come more from jawboning the federal reserve and try to push them into cutting rates further, which i don't think they are willing to do, but nonetheless, the pressure from the white house will be there. cut rates ahead of the economy. but i also don't see inflation coming if we are seeing this slow down and job creation and this kind of soft landing for the unemployment rate. you're not getting a lot of wage cost pressure, so that is the main driver for inflation. but look no further than the cpi data over the last five years or what is coming up next wedne

but when carl fisher, and the associates built this track, indianapolis was actually number two in theation as far as the number of auwuto manufacturers the city, and number two was cleveland. so indianapolis had a burgeoning auto industry, and the companies needed a place to test the cars. a lot of roads were just rutted dirt paths, and you know, nothing they could really get up to speed. so this place was built and testing began in that regard. however, there is a guy named henry ford who came up with a process that was using an assembly line to build cars. so when henry figured that out, and the model-t. was built up in detroit any of the manufacturing hubs shifted from indianapolis or cleveland or you name it to detroit. the first event of any kind, any sporting or competitive event was a balloon race that launched just a few feet from where we are right now, and one of the balloons made it to tennessee and was the winner. the second event to take place here was in early august of 1909 and that was a motorcycle race, and so you had the two-wheelers here before the racecars. they ha

carl has a brilliant idea. so there you are. one of the interesting things to me as i read this in march of '07, on the inside cheney's power is already really waning a lot in the second term. the public image hasn't caught up to that reality yet. and actually i in my view rove's influence is also waning some. and this particular episode didn't help. bush himself had to go out and publicly state that he thought the fiergz of the eight had not been handled well. that famous expression was uttered, mistakes were made. so no one involved in this came out looking good. of course they did not go fire all 93 u.s. attorneys. >> the next step that happened amp that in the aftermath was there was somebody at the justice department who was interviewing new u.s. attorneys and saying, how much do you love our president? please tell me. do you remember that? >> i do not. >> there was sort of a loyalty question that was added to the job interview. and that hit "the washington post." and there were rogue line prosecutors who saw an opening, be

carl stokes wanted to make certain residents had access to beaches.ple who lived in the suburbs, had their own cars could drive further out of the city to go to beaches that were still clean enough to swim in. but city residents without cars couldn't do that. so he and his director of public utilitys devised a system by which they dropped plastic sheeting into the lake and beyond that, inside of that plastic sheeting they dumped chlorine and that chlorine would kill the bacteria that was harmful but also killed all of the fish. they would clean the beach of the dead fish and then open up the beach for swimming. and for spokesman this seemed rather miraculous they could safely swim in lake erie take advantage of this resource. from our distance it might seem kind of like an unfortunate baby step. but to me it indicates the way in which carl stokes operated at the local level solving problems for people whose problems he really understood, but also the at the same time lobbied the federal government to do the work that it needed to do to clean up lake e

hey, rick. >> good morning, carl. we were all highly a way they're today initial jobless claims and continuing claims would have distortions due to thanksgiving holiday, especially so late in the month. but having said that look at interday of 2s you see the way it bottomed? well, it bottomed, yields started going up right after the release of initial jobless claims it was a good number 223,000. that's next lowest since april when we were at the lowest levels since 1969. so it is good news, most likely there will be a revision pretty much the whole curve looks like that two-year note chart and it's basically a parallel shift on the curve, meaning you know we are up about 3 basis points from 2s all the way out to 30s the ten year in particular really gives us a nice glimpse of what we should be paying attention to in a market that really seems to have a hard time, a struggle to push yields higher as we go into the end of 2019, so this chart starting in late october gives you a nice view you know, we're buffeting up aga
