it's means we are going to hear president john williams' comments from yesterday get a little more weight than we would our wise because it helps shape the story. what am i looking for? three things. what does parent mean to them? i know what it meant back in january of 2004 because i was actually drafting the f-1-c statement that inserted the word patience. it meant you weren't going to act until that word was removed. i.e., you were giving at least a one-meeting notice of a pause. the second thing is have they changed their outlook, or is it about the risks to their outlook? if it is change their outlook, then that is material for the whole path of future policy rates. if they are just a little more worried about the evident risks in the world, that is something they can get past. they can get past brexit. they can find out what happens on tariffs. they can sort out what happens in italy. if it is about uncertainties, then it is about risk management. it is not about a materially different view of the outlook. and then the last thing, balance sheet, balance sheet, balance sheet. we have

lyle brainard last week in an interview said she thinks it ought to end this year and john williams thinks it ought to continue a little bit. i don't see in the minutes resolving that or how many members of the fed are on each side that have debate, but that's something that the fed is going to have to come to grips with, is how much more it's going to do, where it's going to stop, but we do know, tyler, to your original point, originally i want to say back when chairman powell was doing his nomination hearings in 2017, he talked about a number between 2.5 and $3 trillion for the end point of where the fed might stop now the discussion is very much in the 3 and maybe more favorably towards the 3.5 trillion range that means the fed plus or minus has an additional half a trillion to go which you might imagine is quite a bit less than adding another twillion to that so it's pretty close to being done say a year's worth of runoff. >> here's my issue though that i think is a little confusing. i'm a flow, not a stock person, so if they are going to be back in the market, starting at the end of t

the ability to create themes and that's why so many times they call him like the john williams of video game music. in particular seems to be. probably the best i think i've ever seen at being able to be transformative in his style of writing from one scene which is orchestral and epic and big to something really silly that uses bossa nova or you know any kind of different style he dives into so many different genres. once a song flees so much flows into a months his son's music rock jazz classical. and sometimes rock. and bits of all but then there's also things like. sound very simple but it says it all he has a unique ability to create themes that relate to everything there's a person a place or a moment he is able to do that so effectively to communicate the exact right feeling that you're supposed to feel in the moment that that scene is happening and that is what has. i don't know i guess like that stood out to me so much about the way that he writes and about final fantasy music in particular above basically all the rest. in my mind a similar process happens in music because when

there will be a reference conference in june the points you raise are good ones, but rich clair, john williams, the new york fed, and now jay powell, there's clearly a desire to do something about this and move in that direction. i don't know if it would be average inflation, and the points you raise are very good the fact that senator toomey was raising concerns about it points to the political difficulty. that i think will be the single biggest challenge. how do you communicate it without sounding like you're raising inflation targets. >> let's -- what's the takeaway for investors, then? is it that this kind of talk means a more dovish fed for a longer period of time than we previously thought chris ruppke is says rate hikes are coming, the economy is stronger than you think. >> categorically, perhaps yes, this is a profoundly dovish shift by the fed it basically means that not only did he allow the economy to overheat, they practically want it that's the only way they know to get inflation above 2% that means lower for longer. that does not exclude the possibility that even given that do mu

vonnie: what did you make of the john williams comments on friday about inflation not being anywhere2%, and the fed getting worried about that? did it make you take notice? >> inflation pressure is coming off. it is not surprising. if you take a look at chinese producer pressure pricing, it is a good indicator of where u.s. core inflation goes 12 months out. u.s. futures are softening. you expect those comments to come from fed governors as a result. that is a case for the fed building its rate cut case. guy: you are going to stay with us, joining us from longview economics. a quick look at the markets as we head towards the end of play. vonnie: where hanging onto those gains. the nasdaq is up 0.9%. the ftse 100 is barely holding on to boston ground -- positive ground. this is bloomberg. ♪ bloomberg. ♪ guy: less than 30 seconds until the end of regular trading. light volume session, market not convinced about the direction of travel. the train narrative over the weekend, it really drove chinese stocks higher but not has -- but it has not had this in effect here. the iberian peninsula

we did hear something interesting on friday from mary daly and john williams, perhaps attached to thismphasis go fed. this idea of average inflation targeting. what is different about this? torsten: normally, they say you need to have an inflation target of below twoi. -- wtwo. now that the dollar has been opened here, for a long time, the fed has been undershooting the target. the fomc members, including daily and liens, are talking about maybe we should allow overshooting and may be one way to do that is to talk about average inflation targeting. not targeting to research, but if it is over a longer time frame, it could be fun. vonnie: is in the idea of it being average for a certain period of time in the either? -- ether. torsten: absolutely. that is been the understanding. we should never expect inflation to go up two and then go sideways. it is always the case that we fluctuate around that we have not been above two for a number of reasons. we haven't had enough demand. we haven't been close to full capacity. it is notanswer is too different from the framework they have today but

john shannon ran the delta newspaper. william governor morris was a contributor to the sun newspaper. those two had a standing feud going on editorially. in fact, a humorous story, the sun had a motto. "it shines for all," that was the newspaper motto. shannon wrote in his newspaper a criticism of that, "shines for in like mannered as decayed fish in a dark night. it shines and stinks and shines to stink again." in november of 1860, the 2 men confronted each other. both of them were armed. both of them were very upset with each other. and john shannon was killed by william governor morris right on the streets of visalia. so i think that was probably in my mind the first battle in visalia in the civil war. later the same year, another newspaper came to be. the delta was there, the sun was there. now we have the equal rights expositors. another newspaper supporting the south. and that they were so critical of the north, abraham lincoln and his administration banned the equal rights expositors from the u.s. mail. which basically mea

monetary policy conference we heard from new york fed president john williams and san francisco presidenty daly saying the fed needs to be vigilant on both sides of the inflation target too low or high are a potential risk new york fed president also saying the fed may have to adjust framework for thinking about inflation because of how low it has been and how long it has been that low. meantime, the balance sheet is something that also came up in the fed monetary policy report balance sheet declined by $260 billion around mid 2018. we hope to get more information on the fed's plans for ending the runoff on the balance sheet later today. back to you. >> i have to know what you made of william saying to stay vigilant against too low inflation expectations and the idea that phillips curve is alive and well. >> reporter: it seems to be a little conflicting information here on one hand, fed officials here so far have said that they do believe that this sort of fed policy remains in place, they think it works but need to think about how it is working differently than before. there's discussion

the novelist john william to deforest, has it.e talks about the description of a fieldhouse in his manual. grant does not do that. brian: mr. simon, he's deceased since 2008, want to talk about what he didn't like about grant. him he was responsible for the grant papers and the very beginning. a different way at a different time, he pointed this out. i'll run some videos so you can see what he is saying. >> it is true that in december 1862, grant issued orders from ang the jewish class from the department in tennessee. that doesn't mean the state of tennessee, that means the entire department that stretches from occupied areas in mississippi, all the way up to kentucky and into feduca. -- paducah. it was an act of extreme prejudice and extreme ignorance, of which grant became deeply ashamed. so ashamed that he doesn't mention it in his memoirs and doesn't speak of it later on. brian: your take? ms. samet: i think john simon is exactly right. julia dent, in her memoirs, mentions it briefly and calls it an obnoxious order. brian: th

the promotion of racial prejudice, the reverend john williams, the first president of the local chapter of the naacp, and minister of the episcopal church, called on the bee to stop their propaganda. a ralk us crowd of more than 4,000 emboldened by the destructive rhetoric grew violent and set fire to the douglas county courthouse. when the mayor tried to calm the crowd, he was assaulted and nearly killed by the mob before being rescued by local law enforcement. without a trial, they seized mr. brown who had been accused of rape and robbery, despite his explanations of innocence and physical evidence of his claim, his body was murdered. his body at the raided through the streets. george smith, 28 years in 1891, he was accused of raping a young girl despite having a valid alibi and witnesses who attested to his innocence. again, unchecked hatred fueled this unjustified lynching without any judicial process. we can begin to speak truthfully about this difficult history so that reconciliation can be achieved. it also allows us to honor the inspirational leaders who rise up to promote equal

then the john williams camp, who says of course, he's the san francisco fed, no, no, just keep waitingep waiting, stay calm, everybody. >> yeah, this is a complication, right, because there's the question about a lot of the inflation adjustments they are talking about making, whether they can allow the economy to run a little hot sometimes in anticipation and you know, as you are pointing out with the rate increases, they haven't gone as far as they thought they could by now. so they don't have as much dry powder so to speak for the next event that they might have to face. liz: that's a problem. >> it could be a problem. it's not a problem right now. because the way the chairman sees the economy, that inflation is tame, he doesn't see any signs that that's going to change any time soon. even seeing some pressure external that could keep inflation under control. lot of signs point to that they have time to wait. liz: wayne gretzky always said you go to where the puck is going to be, not where it is right now. he's an expert at running the federal reserve. i get that. however, when liz w
