charles: danielle, early today new york fed president john williams he spoke. he did mention another potential headwind as one major item goes away, maybe another appears with respect to the shutdown? >> well to john williams' point and several of the big brokerage houses on wall street today came out and said they know at this point the shutdown will shave at least maybe half percentage point or more off q1 growth. that is from where we stand today. assuming on tuesday after the three-day holiday that the government reopened. so there is something to be said if you look at university of michigan consumer sentiment report. as your other two guests speaking to uncertainty, starting to take its toll. same situation with the shutdown. hard to believe given where markets are, given they want to go up. its clear there is upward momentum. hard to believe where markets are, charles, we have confidence back to where it was before the presidential election. its lowest it has been in years. this is really kind of shocking, what drove that confidence hit though is that pe

in december after jerome powell spoke, new york fed president john williams had to come out clarify two days later what jerome powell was saying. it is about the narrative coming out of the fed. what is your narrative, fed, given what larry kudlow said. you're meeting dual mandate. the markets could have given that to say no more rate hikes until next year. i'm not sure odds of a rate cut. fed funds future slice of that market. ashley: let's listen hear what mr. powell has to say. >> we've seen pessimism in economic surveys. we saw blockbuster jobs report this morning. you have been optimistic about the economy. is that changing? what is your outlook for the

it suggests the wisdom of both the white house putting rich in as vice chair and john williams in at the new york fed because they do have smoerns in ta-- mo experience in talking about monetary policy. he's getting his sea legs. i remember how interesting it was how ben bernanke made a few mistakes in his first year, being really glad he got that out of the way before we ended up in the global financial crisis it's hard. i don't think anybody who becomes chair of the fed no matter their background appreciates just how loud the mega phone is when you get that job and suddenly people are making investment decisions on whether you say just below versus almost. so it takes a lot to get the hang of that >> david, that's great supremacist. thank you so much. great to see pup. >>> coming up despite weak sales of the latest model apple is planning three new phones for later this year. should the company be simplifying it's product line or cut prices >>> an investigation into the ll t and decline of a company caedhe per of luxury jets. the exchan "the excahnge" is back in two you always pay

new york fed chief john williams came out to try to come things down for little bit.or about an hour. the market fell apart again. do you think this move this morning by robert kaplan is some sort of acknowledgement they miscommunicated or they themselves have misread the economic tea leaves? >> i think it is and one of the things we always see with the fed, when they're changing the language or the dynamics of their language we then to do it with different fed heads saying things from their respective areas. that is kind of what we're seeing right now with robert kaplan coming out on the back of what john williams said. even jerome powell after they hiked rates last month, did kind of walk back this idea of where the normalization rate would be. even though they went ahead and they hiked rates, they kind of also, even started to walk it back. the reality, is that volatility happened into that rate hike, after that rate hike. we're still seeing that. charles: see here's the thing, we don't have the sword of damocles over our head. we have the dot plot swinging over ou

government shutdown is affecting economic growth john williams as the month long closure of around a quarter of federal functions is leading to quote emerging head winds. and the quarterly growth forecast could be cut by half 21%. and the bank of italy has warneded that the country's economy may be in recession the bank on friday noted a significant slowdown in the euro zone's third largest economy during the last quarter of twenty eighteen and revised twenty nineteen forecast downward. italian economy had already shrunk by a tenth of a percent in the third quarter of twenty eighteen finally for business germany's largest annual food and agriculture trade fair open friday in berlin. major theme of this year's international green week is sustainability and food giant nestle is taking the opportunity to launch a new vegan burger they claim taste remarkably like real meat. the incredible burger is made from vegetable used to replicate the bloody texture of the beef burger. haunts comes on the heels of a major report releaeased thursdsday urging the worldo drastically reduce meat consumu

we broaden it out to a different level i notice that the head of the new york federal reserve john williams talked about there being a full percentage point up to one percentage point effect negative effect on the first quarter in the united states. when it starts going to that sort of level when you actually see it affecting the economy again how can it keep going on for the do you agree that they can be that long term impact. i definitely think that the long term impact is going be at least as significant as the new york fed president suggested i think that the there's a lot of aspects of american society that rely on obscure but very important parts of the federal government and that reliance is just going to be called into question so these are very serious economic impacts but i think that the political dynamics are not just about the economics unfortunately i think donald trump needs to be seen by his base is fighting really hard because donald trump is a president under siege not just from robert mueller but from a newly empowered congressional majority that democrats and join the ho

just by way of some news today, john williams, new york fed president, speculated it could be half to point off of gdp and, mike, my read so far is i don't know if it's a yawn or a shrug or a get out of here we don't really care but the market seems to really not be that focused on the issue of the slowdown that would be the result of the shutdown i think they're focused on other aspects. the other thing is we are not going to know exactly how the fed incorporates this on a full-year basis. i believe julia can back me up on this. march the next round of forecast. >> right. >> we will get a chance to ask powell about this and how he thinks about it at the january press conference but not until march will fed officials make those forecasts public so -- and they might do that at some speeches before now and then. >> i think that's right, though. the nice thing of a press conference is chair powell will have the opportunity to give their best guess and i think that they have been very clear that caution is the name of the game right now they're not in a hurry to do anything right now. >>

industrial production numbers were better than expected and new york fed president john williams said the fed will be patient and prudent on further rate hikes and that's how you get a market up 350. let's get more with bob pisani what do you make of it >> i'm as happy as everybody else about this trade talk, happy talk i got a couple of problems we've gone way too far too fast. we've gone 500 points in the dow jones industrials rally since yesterday, since the middle of the day the "journal" reported that great news another leg up to the current rally which is partly based on trade talks going well here's the problem i got the markets are pricing in a favorable deal there's down side risk first risk no trade deal then we have problems. or we get a trade deal and the markets have moved so essentially you do nothing or sell on the news one other problem i have everybody thinks now we'll get everything we'll get a dovish fed, a trade deal if we get a big trade deal that helps the u.s. economy the fed may get more hawkish at that point. then we can start worrying about the fed. >> people

and we're also starting to get a picture for the wider economy as well late last week this man john williams is the head of the new york federal reserve gave a speech in new jersey and other prepared comments were about a data dependent approach to monetary policy which sounds a little dry i'll admit he spoke broadly about the tailwinds of twenty eighteen dying down maybe a slowing global economy but when asked specifically about the shutdown williams was quoted by bloomberg as saying it's going to be a drag on consumer spending and the economy in the first quarter directly enough to pull growth down by up to half a percentage or even maybe a percentage point if it continues that's just the shutdown he's talking about that is not brilliant news even if it is only for the first quarter of twenty nineteen but it's the type of prediction donald trump can ill afford because for the past two years he has been in power the economy has been the one thing he consistently returns to as proof of his success here is kelly harkat with more on what has and hasn't been achieved. it's an understatement to

mentioned earlier, in december, the new york fed president basically, john williams came out two days jerome powell spoke to clarify what jerome powell spoke, so jerome powell today being very clear that yes, they have various tools at their disposal and they are going to be patient and flexible and nimble as they were in 2016 when the economy hit a soft patch, and he said we will avail ourselves of all tools, meaning the balance sheet, that's when the market really started to move towards 600. ashley: well, he did mention the very strong jobs report today and kind of praised the economy in that sense. let me bring in on that point paul conway, former labor department chief of staff. paul, when i first heard the number, i think the estimate was somewhere in the 170, 180 range. they said 312, i thought i misheard it. this is a blowout number, would you not agree? >> yes, completely. i think this is one of the things that on fox business, you folks have been advocating for policies that actually create the terrain for growth, and here you have it. now we actually are breaking 300,000 an

. >> we have had a few building this message starting with john williams right before the holidays after the press conference and we have had a couple of them adding to that message of flexibility and patience and not down playing the message from the market saying the markets might be seeing something that we are not. if it materializes we will recalibrate accordingly. it was a nice one-two punch between the employment report and powell this morning. >> so did powell say the right script for what investors were hoping for >> i think there was less of a change in policy and change in communication. a little more knowledgement of downside risks >> that is policy when you look at the balance sheet >> one thing i think that's interesting to mention as well whether it's communication or policies, also the magnitude of the moves over the past two and a half weeks there is not a fundamental reason for those moves i think that's what the fed believes the moves in and of themselves may alter the fundamentals we did have a big move down that will effect inflation. less pressure and we did see a b

they meant john winthrop, william penn, john smith. the 17th century founders. lincoln is the person who actually -- when he says to jefferson, from that moment on, from the civil war on, the founders become the ones that we recognize. so lincoln is very important in this story of the founders. >> was lincoln the logical son of the founders then, professor ellis? >> yeah, yeah. i understand why rick burkheister makes that case. and he's written about this in a sensible way. that what he's talking about in the peter cooper -- not peter cooper, it's talking in 1858 that gordon is referring to, is that he thinks that the dread scott decision -- >> 1857. >> -- 5817, is wrong in arguing that the founders supported slavery. and that -- and he actually does some historical research of his own, back to the founding and says the majority of the people at the convention in 1787 opposed the extension of slavery into the territories. jefferson opposed the extension into any of the territories. they were into the northwest territory. they were in the end of the slave trade.

breaking news i want to get your thoughts on we have headline it is from the new york fed governor john williamse says he's seeing emerging headwinds to growth from the government shutdown. so do you think it is going to be a big problem? >> well, longer it last most certainly. estimates are that it could shave a tenth of one percent for every two weeks and we're 28 days into it at this juncture having an effect locally around washington, d.c. area. but you're still talking about the spillover of effect and markets willing to think that they're going to recoup it when or if shutdown ends an those furloughed get paychecks back but in the meantime business that will never be replaced and longer it last concern is to, obviously, when you're growing two and a half percent, you have a limited margin of safety to see for the erosion. >> i should ad williams says that softer doesn't mean doom and gloom which i think is something very important because -- as i watched financial media talk about this, it feels like the end of times when we know that it is still government you know still very small part o

model of the normal rate of interest that was developed by the new york federal reserve president john williams points, 60 basis points and when you think about it that way, we may be already about there where the federal reserve's rates are. >> what's the most important thing that determines where the neutral rate is? i always thought it was inflation and i can explain why inflation can be in a secular disinflationary -- because of technology and advances and innovation and the internet and amazon and walmart and on and on but i can explain that maybe we're not as global as we were a year ago but when you see the rest of the world and where interest rates are there, we kind of import their disinflation as well so i can explain it that 3% is normal instead of 6%. >> and their demand for our bonds keeps our interest rates lower even as our changing demographics with more and more people entering retirement, higher demand for fixed income keeps interest rates lower in addition to the point you're making about inflation, which i agree with, i point to productivity so when you think about what defi
