we convened a meeting of the economic council of the heads of state and this problem has not yet been solved . the problem of the wrong structure of the budget should be greased . the government sometimes has cases where the incomes are not reliable, i know the officials themselves, but the commitments are made to hoard these unreliable incomes, worse than this, the throats of the parliament and many cases impose obligations on the government, while there are no reliable financial sources for you to stop. it was fixed obstacles in handing over management to the people, avoiding the public sector from competing with the private sector and preventing excessive imports were three other requirements that the leader of the revolution pointed out in order to achieve economic growth. positive is leading in the private sector, but private economic enterprises should separate the arena of competition from cooperation, especially in economic work abroad, and work with each other in big works . attention and big companies should help them in their production chain , the three problems of product

plus, former council of economic advisers chair jason fuhrman on the -- furman on the changing odds of recession in america senior markets commentator, mike santoli, we haven't checked bony i bitcoin in a whilewhile. >> things have surged this year, and really when it comes to the broad s&p 500, you put together a series of pretty good days in fact at the highs today, we were up 5% for the month, which of course is also year to daylight, and coming into some interesting test areas, i would say. we have been talking about this down trend that lasted since last january we poked above it, depending on how you draw it. came close to it or made a bid to go higher at the highs of the day, we were at the december highs around 4,100. it's a grab for some expo ssure volatile parts of the market running. we were easing back from there at this point, we obviously have a fed meeting in six or seven trading days, and so probably we might say in this zone just to wait and see, but there's some soft landing sentiment making his way into stocks or staying in stocks. take a look at cyclicals versus def

[laughter] i had dinner last night with a lot of global ceos. most of them raised their hand that they were negative about the economy. but when they talked about their business, they were all pretty positive about their businesses. i think everyone thinks everyone else has a problem. i am pretty optimistic. that doesn't mean we are a bullish economy. what i am optimistic about is i think we can muddle through where we are. i think the fed is getting to the end of their tightening cycle. we may have a couple of more 25 basis point increases from the fed, top out around 5% in fed funds, but i think we have factored that into the situation, and i think we are in a relatively good situation. . the consumer is ok. they are not great, we are starting to see a few cracks, the economy

is this window dressing on the national economic council? what are we seeing here?reporter: effectively. what we are seeing is potentially a preview of the messaging that we're going to hear from this president into the run-up to the state of the union address and if and when he does announce he is running for re-election in 2024, the invest in america council will include cabinet secretaries as well as mitch landrau, john podesta. essentially, the goal is going to be to focus on getting the private sector to grow and invest. that'smessage today. he will tout what he sees as some of his biggest accomplishments. he will take aim at republicans. no surprise there. i want to go back to the top of what you were saying, because i do think it's an important point. i ask the press secretary about that fact yesterday. does the president think that the system for handling classified documents is broken? does he want to do something about it? will he do something about it? she referred those questions to the white house counsel's office. i think it underscores the fact the pr

the national economic council released at their industrial strategy. think the challenge we are seeing in ukraine, the supply chain crunch we saw in 2021 and 2020, just demonstrated we half -- we have to onshore these minerals. he saw the department of interior speeding up some over the efforts to get some of these critical minerals. we're working in our agency to try to figure out where the capacity is and where the need is. sometimes it feels like we are struggling to get the good data we need in order to make good decisions. that's true for raw materials, which is not directly something the department works on, but also for manufacturing. the challenge for us. we work with states. the states work with the contractors. the contractors are then working with the folks that source that. nobody has an exact picture of where all of these materials are available, where the manufacturing capacity is. we're working on it. the department of commerce deserves credit in terms of helping us get a broader, granular picture. the department of energy is very much l

. >> joining me now from the white house is brian deese, director of economic council. mr. want to ask you about this, we have this debt ceiling fight coming on. with the current speaker, kevin mccarthy, having promised the most extreme parts of his party, that he bargain on the debt ceiling to get cuts. and they seem to be eyeing cuts in social security, medicare, they want deep cuts to various necessary programs for the most indigent americans. how hard is the white house prepared to go, to stand firm to saying no to those cuts? >> first, we need to put this in context. we learned today, we've seen a lot of data that supports. that's that our economy is coming back and a strong, resilient, an equitable way. whereas the president said, actually seeing what it looks like when we have a recovery that grows from the bottom up in -- meaning, away just are going faster for people at the bottom of it. income distribution, economic growth is solid, job growth is adams story. kylie unemployment rate is at historic lows. one of the most important things when you're making progress,

in a way it was a good thing because it meant national economic council got involved in this technologybut nasa didn't want to do it. the budget process has to go through the administration of the agency prepared budget. the budget the agency prepared constellation, it didn't at commercial crew. i tried to get them to change. my boss at the time, head of nasa was ready to do what the nasa people wanted to doo and wasn't listening. even the last meeting with the president which i outlined in the book, he came away and told me how it went, it was clear to me what the president must choose but we got the answer a couple of weeks after that surprised charlie, not me. >> this is a memoir. as you are going through that experience trying to cancel a major program with billions of dollars with most entrenched in washington, you came under attack and this became personal. who will open the a book with a scene of being threatened where you received a letter -- a letter was sent to nasa with a white powdery substance. can we talk about that experience what you and george going through that? >> it

joe is a former chief economist for the national economic council and now chief economist at bc americalike we're in fifth grade. >> okay. >> in terms of how this counteracts what the fed is trying to do with its balance sheet. >> just to recap, the fed, there is a statutory debt limit that has to be increased every few years. we've run up against that. the treasury is now is using accountable gimmicks to stay under the ceiling so that at some point both parties reach a deal to extend it. how does that impact the fed it impacts the fed, melissa, right where i think is around the summer months. because the treasury will do these measures, we could go into them, they do measures that get them through this quarter and second quarter you have a big april tax payment and net borrowing by the treasury comes down and then we have a big debt fight coming back sometime in july just like we did back in 2011 at that point, the economy will be if recession. it will be in obvious recession in my opinion. the fed will be pivoting toward lower interest rates an the debt ceiling with an extra layer an
