john. jay is better known perhaps than bushrud washington as a diplomat and a founding father, but why did you choose to write about john jay? and why should our friends be interested in? well, i first i was a practicing lawyer for a couple decades and i was living and working in hong kong when it kind of hit me that i i wanted to write a book and then i fished around for a subject. i was originally thinking about governor morris and other founding father. and i but i thought well, let's find the biographies of his friends and alexander hamilton robert livingston, john jay and i was shocked to learn that the most recent biography of john jay was from the 30s. and i bought a used copy and read it and it wasn't that good. i thought god even i could better than this. so i started, you know researching and writing. i mean jay has this amazing career in state federal and international. i mean most people today kind of know him for is role in writing the federalist papers or his role on the as first

susan: you have described john jay as a favorite. why? prof.arton: his experience is amazing and different in comparison. he was a decorated politician as governor of new york. he was actually the first person to have served as president before he became part of the supreme court. william howard taft was the second. jay was the chief executive officer under the articles of confederacy. he is one of the authors of the federalist papers. and he was a fantastic lawyer. there is an amazing book just about john jay's legal career and he is how i described it. a solo practitioner, took everything that came in the door. he wrote contracts, wrote wills, he brought lawsuits, he got a handful of criminal cases. he was this amazing person who brought all this depth of experience to the court. it is clear that is what washington wanted. he wanted the first chief justice to be the best of the best amongst lawyers, amongst politicians, amongst legal thinkers -- a person who had done all of these things to bring with them that experience to the court. susan:

he wrote something like 50 madison wrote 25 john jay. well, he wrote like four. so but you know, they're all up there. so matt hamilton is the primary organizer of this and the idea is that what would happen is an umpire would coordinate the states. but no state, could rob another. fight with another oppress another because there would be something there would be a body above them. that wouldn't rob them of their identity, but would make them work together. and and then what happens next and this brings us back to hamilton's own story because hamilton as it turns out george washington really likes hamilton. they have worked together all the way through the revolution. he really trusts hamilton. so when it comes time to actually go. okay. all right. we got the document. hmm. it's really sort of like getting a new piece of technology. have you ever taken out the the instruction manual? you're like i do not know how to put this ikea desk together. i just do not anyway. so there's this manual that's the us constitution hamilton. who's a very good organizers in many w

early 80's as a prosecutor in the queens' da office and now as a lecturer at john jay college of criminal justice. welcome to washington journal, welcome back. guest: thank you, good morning. now talking about the safer america plan that he unveiled, some of which eat -- we knew ahead of time, the elements of his crime reduction and gun violence reduction plan and the key parts are $14 billion for training and 100 dish -- additional officers. $20 billion over five years, $1.7 billion for more agents, and also to emphasize to congress the passage of legislation pushing for universal background checks and assault weapons bands, some of which the elements have been passed. we will start with the comments from president biden yesterday and his proposal, what are your thoughts? caller: -- guest: the important issue with the policing and more important to the money is that he is saying that police and will not be defunded, the institution has to be defended and i believe mayors and public officials are responsible for the lives and safety of the people must have breathed a sigh of relief hearin

that just doesn't hold any water when you realize that the road is still with us so here is the john jay robe is this is in the smithsonian and it looks very much like what we saw in gilbert stuart's portrait. there are some slight differences the sleeve length is different there is an inner sleeve and an outer peace. the red is faded the white trim is there it is very similar to what we saw on the portrait. this was sent to the core in the 18 eighties. somewhere this robe came from is an academic robe and there is a story it is from the university of eden borough that gave jay an honorary degree but justices were already wearing robes so then coming from the university of dublin and then the harvard robe is one that is the most talked about the most recently published they did a war jay and degree in 1790 but there is no note he gave him any type of robe and he did not attend the ceremony so this is from some university doesn't hold water either. so eventually the robe comes back because the court can't take it so it goes to the smithsonian and where it is today. they have taken very go

like others in his era, like john jay, people in that era were on both sides of the issue, looking for pragmatic solution. the american capitalization society tried to get slaveowners to voluntarily receive their slaves. by law at that time in states like virginia it was required to remove people from the state if they were freed. so the colonization society offered to take people to africa , which was inherently racist because you could not take someone back to africa who was actually american, born in the united states, but not recognized as a citizen. so the colonization society had a idea slavery could be ended peacefully and no one would get hurt on the war would not be necessary and key was a major fundraiser for that. susan: and responsible for the freedom of a couple hundred of black americans. what was his approach to the enslaved people in his life? mark: he followed family tradition and there were at least five slaves in his georgetown house and referred to as servants, not slaves. i think it was a euphemism. i think he saw himself as benevolent and caring for people and saw

when franklin came back from paris, the government did not reward him the way they rewarded john jay and other ministers. franken was upset they would not pay his grocers bills or wine merchants bills in paris, and they were requiring him to pay his own postage when he was writing to old friends in paris about government affairs. there is that. it is personal. john adams is presiding over the senate, and adams and franklin had a fractious relationship. there is that as well. in the book, there is a pennsylvania senator named william mcclay and i quote extensively from his diary, he says i am not a huge fan of franklin, i thought he could be a bit egotistical, but i cannot sit in the senate and believe that they painted the devil so black. adams sat there and said the scotch irish have a word for it. smudging. this self-satisfied look. later, when the french national assembly since a large envelope sent a large envelope over with reports of all the memorials that have taken place, an official letter of condolence, adams refused to read it out loud to the senate. and washington did not

maybe john jay. they start communicating about the kinds of ceremonies. that would be proper for a new republic. because of course at that time they got a real tight kind of like lane to stay in. the american colonists had rebelled against the monarchy they were going to create the world anew the world turned upside down antimonarchical anti-king anti-royalties all going to be new. except when it came to ruling they realized that the only vocabulary of power they had was monarchical and aristotle and so how are they going to cut that and so we have these moments in the historical record where george washington is wondering exactly how many pairs of matched horses is enough to convey his authority pulling his carriage the and how much would be like too much? i think the answer was three pair but the same thing with martha, how would she dress that would convey a sense to the outsiders who are not sure this america thing was going to work and the new americans who are not sure this american thing was going to work that they were being ruled properly and wel

we've spoken to john less than political analyst, martin jay, who pointed out that a crisis today is not just a question of supply, but even perhaps more importantly, the question of politics. the thing is about weeks is that it's a huge commodity. which in all these countries used, but they use as part of a subsidization program to feed their own for people. and so you know, it's, it's not that later one a bit more as a whole process. now it's become very chip political, you know, a number of countries tend to russia contribution and said the last few weeks, look, this problem with wheat is a really big one. you know, we can't have these real tensions in the regions. you know, if you stop messing around with wheats in these countries, you're looking at insurgency and political upheaval, even revolutions of the fact that is terrorism and migrant flows some to, to europe. so those countries went to putin who designed to do. i think he did a really quick favor to you about the assignment deal and allowed him those companies now to trade i got about to operate can use for this hour. her

lipsky joining me now, johns hopkins university, former debbie managing director of the imf and head of national bureau of economic research. what is jaybe in light of the fed performance the last couple years? john: the economy itself has performed in ways that were unexpected, not just to the fed, but market participants and scholars in general. so, there has to be a recognition that they need to look more closely at how the economy is going to be performing, and reacting more rapidly to signals they see. the problem was that they waited too long, they have acknowledged that, and now they have to enforce credibility or at least gain credibility they may have lost with market participants, with the sluggishness of their reaction last year. kathleen: move faster, does that mean continuing 75 basis point rate hikes? does that mean that they have to open the door that their terminal rate a be higher than 4%? john: all of the above. they have to show that they will be watching the data closely, making sure what they think -- making clear what they think is important and making clear how they will react. there is no point in thinking they

means for the general ecosystem with our next guest, john wu, president of ava labs, lead developer on the blockchain. we are bracing for whatever jayoming up on friday. curious what you are watching for and how whatever he says could mean for the crypto ecosystem. john: bitcoin and geither bank now are at 0.75 in terms of correlation with the nasdaq -- bitcoin and ether. the market is saying that all high-risk assets are correlated. jay powell is going to raise rates. analysts saying that we need rates to go higher, and i agree, they will go higher. but what i think the market needs to understand is that there will be alpha in the crypto asset space. and there is very good reason for that. fundamentals are absolutely increasing and improving. the technicals, if you think about the crypto market caps, they have gone down, but stablecoin have not that tells you a lot of people are just hiding and they are ready to deploy. finally, i know you guys want to talk about the merger with ethereum and that is a huge catalyst. i think it will surprise people is that zero point 75 correlation, no matter where the market goes, will go down, and

jay was charging with the merchant. the merchant who wrote the receipt was named john shields.he is a merchant in philadelphia at the time. i was not -- i have not taking the time to figure out how much that was. i think the justices were making not that much money in those days. their salaries were 500 or $1, 000, i believe. i think that's a pretty substantial sum. it seemed very odd to me. >> the justices paid for and continue to pay for their own ropes? >> yes. the justices supplied their own robes. i heard a story, i did it included because i have not been able to document it, is that they actually requested from the government to have the robes paid for. the government denied that request. i read that it's -- in one place, it's one of those very sketchy stories, i'm hoping to track it down one day. i wasn't able to before all this happened. >> there are a couple points made about the whigs. and how the english court, they prepped the robe, they didn't keep the whigs. >> i know that there is one story. i've been trying to focus on robes, that william cushing story is usuall

john j by gilbert stewart. this portrait was painted, starting in 1793, and jay sat for the head only.he had to go off to england to negotiate with became the jay treaty. there were letters in the family that suggests that his nephew actually posted as she's justices robes for the painting to be completed, and it was delivered to mrs. jane 1794, and she mediately hung it up on a wall in her house. this is a family portrait that no one saw very much. it wasn't until 1815 that i found the first engraving of this portrait that was sort of widely produced. the colorful robe of jay wasn't really seen that much, in these early periods. but people knew that these what these chase justices robes are internally -- mid start developing around the j rogue overtime. it's the only one that anybody knew about. the painting is very prominent when it appears in the supreme court in 1877. this is a copy of the portrait that the court still owns. it's about the mantle in the justices roping room. people would come in and ask about the robe. why are you wearing your wearing black, robes what's j wearing?

so i said on earlier in the week , jay powell will come in like john wayne instead he's coming in like clint eastwood, guns blazing but with a real quiet manner. i have an amazing panel of folks to talk about this including sven hend rsvp ricks, and michelle girard and and where you should invest in the market where the experts say goes one way but really tries to go the other. all that and so much more on making money. all right, so, listen. i said he's going to, it was going to happen, it happened. what was really weird initially there was an immediate response, but at the end of the day, jay powell made a couple things clear. at least he did rhetorically there's going to be a whole lot of pain in that he is going to be a force of nature. take a listen. >> we're taking forceful and rapid steps to moderate demand, so that it comes into better alignment with supply and to keep inflation expectations anchored. we will keep at it until we're confident the job is done. charles: well, edward lawrence is in jackson hole with a closer look at jay powell's comments and also what the other mem

paul volcker, reincarnation, i'm sorry, whether jay powell needs reincarnation of volcker who is the reincarnation of johnay, how much is impacting technology? how much impact is all the fed talk? >> for sure that is a great question, if rates go up, cash flows have to be repriced. that is exactly what we saw in 2022. tech doesn't have earnings or cash flow usually so this industry is much more sensitive but what i would say there is a lot of opportunity right now because although the fed controls liquidity they do not control innovation. i wouldn't say quantitative easing made apple apple or microsoft microsoft. we talked about megacap companies. when you look at strong bottom lines in the tech companies there are opportunities in this market. charles: so a lot of big tech names after the bell. have to ask you about nvidia certainly first and foremost. some preliminary results out there. what are you anticipating? >> i'm anticipating a lot of questions around this gaming miss that the company had announced. the company went immediately from forward p-e ratio of 35 to 50 overnite. so management will have

so i said on earlier in the week , jay powell will come in like john wayne instead he'

>> john: all right, he's going to beltsville, maryland, going to visit the u.s. secret service training facility, interviewing jay and then heading to wilmington another weekend. not a whole lot there, sandra. >> sandra: it struck me at the very top that he referenced the economy looking good. i'll draw your attention to the bottom corner of the screen, the big board up. a 745 point drop in the dow right now. federal reserve chair, jay powell, is at a meeting where he just spoke and he warned of some pain ahead as the federal reserve tries to fight to bring down sky high inflation, powell noting it's still at the highest level in more than 40 years. he added that the higher interest rates will likely persist for some time, talking about the historical record cautions strongly against prematurely loosening policy. so you are talking about interest rates continually having to rise to bring down inflation that does not seem to be budging. we have been identifying the key economic reports led to some economists questioning whether or not inflation may be peaking. listening to jerome powell, you are not really getting

. >> john: looking through here some of the quotes from court. government prosecutor jaythe doj to keep the affidavit sealed. he said that unsealing it would provide a road map of an ongoing investigation still in its early stages. he also said the country is in a volatile state and releasing the names of witnesses or fbi agents would chill other witnesses who may still come forward. went on further to say this is not a precedent we want to set. the government is very concerned about the safety of witnesses in this case. but an attorney who argued on behalf of the washington post and other media organizations said that there are people who are looking to cite unrest who will look to pass off bogus information and the only antiseptic to that is the actual truth. so in this case, does getting the actual truth out there outweigh the government's argument about the state of the investigation and potential safety of witnesses of the case? what do you think? >> well, on getting the truth out, no surprise i'm on the media side here in the sense that it's hard to overstate how mu

jay powell. >> let's continue this? >> who is important? >> anyone else? >> i think johnd,. >> just so people who don't know who he is, it is a former fed president. >> i can't spell that. >> he's a key person. that's why it will get so much attention. >> the heart of this matter, with your academics virtually, you just mentioned a group of people skilled in phd's qanon mix monetary policy. are you suggesting there is a two-tier central-bank structure of the phd's in monetary theory, and everyone else? >> i'm saying there are a few key seats, the german sea, the vice chairman, chairman of the board of governors, they are more equal than others. >> let's see >> we don't see much dissent because people buy into the transitory inflation story. a year ago the speech was correct. there was a shift in demand from services to goods. it did upwards pressure. we knew it was going to research -- revert, but what the fed missed was the labor market. it was tighter much sooner than expected. >> did all of us, including servants, were they slaves to create a measured approach. were we

about what john taylor told us a couple of days ago, author of the taylor rule on bloomberg television, he said they should be aiming for 5% and maybe even higher. she said we could go higher. is jay powell going to signal that? how is he going to signal it? what context will he put that in? he will tell us about the update. >> look at how the latest jobs report was. his inflation starting to break? the year-over-year number has started to cool off a little bit and so has the ppi. how long will they keep it up? how long will they keep it there? i hope you can signal to us that it takes a recession to do this, if that is what happens in the fall out, that is what we will have to do. we will see. manus: as your interview with -- kathleen, great interview with the rbnz central bank governor. watch, wait, and worry, the natural resting state of the central bank. i loved it. you push him on what level of growth drop which he tolerate and what central bankers drop? i found interesting you talked about zero growth around the world is what we might need. kathleen: exactly and i think that was very wise, too. in many ways, we know that this is a global problem. we can say central banks ble
