just this morning moore was promising the white house was all in on his nomination. less than an hour later, strufrp announced that moore is decided to withdraw from the process. the reason moore got nominated is the same reason he went down which is that he talks a lot on tv and says terrible things. journalists uncovered comments about women which he maintains were jokes. he says the male should be the breadwinner of the family which as the "guardian" noted was found to owe his ex-wife hundreds of thousands of dollars this child support. there was so much awful stuff moore had to try to defend. >> by the way, did you see there's that great cartoon going along, "new york times" headline, first thing donald trump does is kick a black family out of the white house and has the obamas leaving the white house. >> so, that is a joke i always made about, you know, obama lives -- the president lives in public housing. i didn't mean it like a black person. >> yeah. there were enough republican senators who signalled their opposition to moore to sink his nomination which is an

moore: i'd like to address the house for one minute to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. ms. moore: thank you, madam speaker. and i am so honored to join my colleagues in commemorating the 100th anniversary of house passage of the 19th amendment to the united states constitution. guaranteeing women the right to vote everywhere in our country, my state, wisconsin, was the very first state to ratify the constitution and i'm wearing this yellow rose today in honor of the remarkable women who fought for their seat at the table. they persevered. they resisted. they persisted. and the face of congress is different because of them. wells, susan b. b. anthony and sojourner truth said we must fight for what is right. wisconsin was the first state o ratify the 19th amendment. they are now leading the efforts to disenfranchise people. it's because of this powerful legacy that i will continue to fight to make sure that no one is denied access to the ballot due to them as citizens. with that, on q

blake burman at the white house with more. >> all good question. this moved quickly. steve moore for breakfast and said he was going forward. about an hour later, they said there was no change in stat with us with steve moore. that was this morning. fast forward a few hours later, we get the tweet from president trump that said the nomination won't be going forward. at issue for more, past writings and comments that he made about women and senate republicans started to express their reservations. moore says the comments were not -- were meant to be humorous. he admits they were not. he also said he decided to withdraw because he claims he was the victim as you heard him say there of a sleaze campaign and says the attacks were just too much for his family. >> there's this victory lap for the left because they took me down with a smear campaign. yeah, it's interesting to me. if they think my ideas were so, you know, out of the box and so wrong, why didn't they debate me on the economic ideas? >> in a statement, the top democrat in the senate chuck schumer said the only things that

this comes as the white house is looking to nominate stephen moore to the board of governors.at, he would they did show, saying he and his colleagues would continue to ignore political pressure. we don't feel like the data is pushing us in either direction. we will not hesitate if we do feel that is justified. that's a process, that's how we think about things, we don't bigger but otherfactors how we think about things, we don't bigger but other factors was not widowed that them mental decision—making, we don't discuss them. those inside hereunder about maintaining their independence, they have to walk a difficult tightrope between managing low inflation and the risk of stroking an asset bubble. let's go to asia now — and us officials have wrapped up the latest round of talks with china aimed at ending their $400 billion trade war. rico hizon is following the story. rico — some cause for optimism after these latest talks? the us treasury secretary and the trade representative to out of beijing last night, after what was described as very productive meetings. and according to m

moore to that list as well. so where do we go from here? where does the white house go from here? ere are two open seats for two people to join the federal reserve board of governors. the president thought he had this one wrapped up with steve moore, a close confidante of larry kudlow and someone who helped the president deliver his tax reform ideas during the campaign. then herman cain, someone who the president thinks alike with politically as well but now those two seats are open, it could take quite some time to fill them. neil? neil: real quickly, blake, i remember mitch mcconnell said about the vetting process for these two gentleman, i think referring to herman cain and steve moore it, has to be more thorough. they just cannot be dumped on the senate, overtrivializing and paraphrasing what he is was saying, question was do your homework f we have grenades here we best be prepared for them. reporter: remember the timeline here. it was herman cain was about to be put up by the president first. there were the past allegations that had haunted him during the 2012 presidential ca

really stranded out there as president all trumps nominee for the federal reserve house withdrawn his nomination stephen moore has been criticized for sexist comments and his positions on interest rates more a conservative commentator worse to fill one of two vacant positions at the u.s. central bank. an empty chair has represented the u.s. attorney general has refused to testify at a congressional hearing about the miller report wanted to avoid lawyers questioning him about russian collusion and donald trump's election been threatened with contempt by the house of representatives for refusing to answer questions barr has cleared the president of collusion about the democratic party wants to see the full uncensored version of the report had it go hey and ask more from washington d.c. a lot of political theater today is the house democrats called for a congressional committee hearing and they basically talked to an empty chair the u.s. attorney general william barr refusing to show up to testify he said he had a problem with the process that they wanted to take which was basically to have members of congress a

the white house told cnn moore is being encouraged to keep a low profile, and the west wing cancelledll to meet with republican senators. moore has been under scrutiny over his writings that seem to disparage women, his personal financial issues and views about the fed. he suggested the decline in men's earnings is quote the biggest problem other the past 25 years in the economy. federal chair jerome powell was asked about wages on wednesday. >> i think men and women should make the same for the same work by and large. >> powell declined to comment directly on moore's remarks. >> certainly not my role to engage with potential nominees to the fed, so i'm really not going to go there. >> moore has not been formally nominated yet. he told the "wall street journal" he would back out of the process if he becomes a political liability. this week he said he would fight to stay in, that he's got the support of the fed's e con team. he will fight to stay in the process. >>> wall street futures leaning up a little bit, digesting the latest rate decision. the fed left interest rates unchanged an

moore on the fed. but ultimately that was not to be as was the nomination prospect of herman cain so now the white house is going to have two slots free here on the fed. they will have to decide what route they want to go. do they want public figures in the steve moore, herman cain mode or more backbench-type economist figures who might have an easier time navigating capitol hill and getting that confirmation they so desperately need at this point. >> eamon jabbers, thank you so much let's get back to our other conversation and throw it beyond meat that stock pricing $25 and last check was up better than 100% on its very first moments becoming a public company 150% nancy davis, i turn to you, when you see this, what do you think? >> first of all, i congratulate you. doing great for the world and i'm definitely a proponent of esg and those themes i think if you look at this success stories and others that are growth companies that are not changing the world but more reliant on future earnings they don't have right now, you kind of have to step back as an investor and question the private markets because

moore apologized this week for some his past remarks, which include demeaning comments about women and a joke about trump kicking a black family out of the white housesident today, moore said, quote, the unrelenting attacks on my character have become untenable for me and my family and three more months of this would be too hard on us. but literally just minutes before trump's announcement today, multiple outlets were reporting that moore wasn't backing down, that his nomination was still, quote, full speed ahead. so what changed? joining me the "new york times" congressional correspondent cheryl stolberg. i'll kick it over to you. let's talk about something that has given some republican women senators cause for concern. >> this one really is the one that rankles the most. what is the implications of a society in which women earn more than men. we don't know really but it could be disruptive to family stability. divorce rates go up when men lose their jobs. i want to add something. so stephen moore is 59 years old. this was written in 2000. or thereabouts. he was 40. it's not a college kid -- >> it's not ancient history. >> it's not the college kid

these questions about someone who hasn't been formally nominated the white house should do a better job vetting. >> steve mooreomplained about a smear campaign. there were 25 years of write national which he criticized women athletes, women had no place doing this. a saw a slip the other day where he said the biggest problem in the economy is declining male wages. >> he has said a lot of this was in gest. what we've been hearing from the senate they don't think it's very funny, and like you said. there's -- this is now the second pick in a row that -- that has walked away from a very high-profile nomination and a very important job, particularly in this administration, particularly heading into this election, and and it raises a couple of thing. it raises new questions i think about the -- about the process inside the white house. there have been questions all along the way, but trump has lost a lot of people. i mean, these are the kind of nominations that john kelly would have said, well, wait a second. here -- here's the paperwork. here's what the senate is going to see. do you really want to do this? there

moore are out. we don't have any indication yet from the white house and we don't know. it will be interesting to watch, if the president will float names again as he did with these two men or do a more formal process of complete vet. do some background checksing with the kinds of names and republican economists that john references to see who could get through and who would fill that space on federal reserve. the other thing although the president has control of this, typically presidents don't have this kind of a political thrashing about with the fed on a daily basis and have a bit more space on the white house and those who handle monetary policy, but that's old think ng the trump era. >> john, quickly before we go, how damaging could moore have been? he was someone who repeatedly criticized, said economic statistics were phony. and then when it was politically convenient, pushed that we should go back to using the gold standard, which is widely penned by most relevant economists. >> the larger issue here which i think you're aloud iing to is t credibility of the fed

a white house source told cnn that moore is being encouraged to keep a low profile after the west wingcelled his visit to capitol hill. moore has been under scrutiny over writings that seem to disparage women and his views about the fed. moore suggested the decline in men's earnings is the biggest problem facing the economy. fed chair jerome powell was asked about wages wednesday. >> i think men and women should make the same for the same work by and large. >> he declined to comment directly on moore's remarks. >> not my role to engage with potential nominees to the fed so i'm really not going to go there. >> yeah, you know, that was our own donna borak who was there at the press conference trying to see what he thought about wages and whether steven moore is right, whether the biggest problem is not income inequality, but men's earnings are not rising as quickly as women. >> more looking wobbly at this point. >>> would you pay a little extra to eat out if it helped fight climate change. this fall, restaurants across california have the option to join a program that adds 1% to your bil

moore's nomination. this is an embarrassment for the white house, especially because another nomination for the fed, anothern cain had to withdraw his nomination a couple weeks ago after his previous allegations on sexual harassment came to light again, and this is just more evidence that the process at the white house, especially when it comes to the federal reserve nomination, is quite messy and doesn't -- and there's no system attached to it. aside from all of this controversy, conservative economists had questions about stephen moore because the federal reserve is supposed to be a place where politics is removed from the discussion, and a lot of economists saw stephen moore being more politically inclined than necessary for this very serious and prestigious position. >> thank you so much for that. we have more on our breaking news. cnn has obtained a letter from the white house to attorney general bill barr, and it's blasting special counsel robert mueller and his team. why they were so upset about his report, and hundreds of people quarantined on a scientology cruise ship as the measles outbreak grows.

house is what the president sees on tv. most of the time with fox but with mr. moore it was cnn. e argued forcefully and argued up is down, black is white. the president loved it. my experience in the white house, we had failed nominees. it would be a story for weeks. this is like, oh, it's friday. we're on to something else. if you asked the trump people they'll say they sent a pretty strong message to the federal reserve board that they better get on cutting interest rates by sending these people up. it's a silly argument, but it is an argument. >> herman cain and nominations by the president itself was so topsy turvy because of the lack of experience. ultimately these things fail of their own weight. you go through moore's record. my wife margaret hoover had the interview that she pulled it because he thought it was funny that donald trump took a black family out of public housing, ha, ha, ha. you get to indefensible and that occurred. problem is it's spun as a return to normalcy. the crazy ideas, impulses the president had. at the end of the day they didn't get on the fed, so

moore think. that subpoena was ordered enforced today. he's also a member of the househt committee and will us adam class feld a reporter for courthouse news who was actually inside that courtroom today as the drama and i do mean drama unfolded. congressman krishna moore think, i want to start with you. i'm sure had you confidence your subpoenas would be enforced this way because historically they always have been but it has to be a giant relief not only were they enforced but at very high speed. you rarely see a court act this quickly. the judge literally listened to the arguments, took a 20-minute break, came back in and said okay, here's the deal. >> yeah, that's correct. i think that as you know, with the mazars ruling earlier this week and now this particular ruling in new york, it's clear the courts are unanimous in their sentiment that congress has the authority to conduct oversight and investigations and issue subpoenas and those subpoenas need to be complied with. and so i think there are cracks forming in the trump obstruction strategy and the strategy to try

you're a member of the senate appropriations of banking, housing and urban affairs committees. stephen mooreresident announced earlier in a tweet that he was withdrawing from consideration for federal reserve board of governors. you issued a statement which read "stephen moore has long favored policies that favor corporate billionaires at the expense of main street. his distan for factually accurate economic projections and his comments about women should have disqualified him from the start. what is going on here with the president's appointees? two of which have fall i don't know -- fallen from the wayside because they could not garner enough votes to be approved. >> this reminds me of what is called "the gong show", right? both candidates have been disqualified because they don't have enough support in the united states senate. given the kind of nominees who have gotten through the senate, it's a very low bar these days. so for steve moore to be disqualified because some republican senators won't support him is a sign of just how bad he would be on the federal reserve. this a guy who puts

with this president and with stephen moore, he would probably hold it a while longer, but i think the lesson here is president should talk to people in the white housethe the economics profession about what kind of person to pick. stephen moore was so outside the mainstream. he's out the laws on child labor should be repealed. he's a top down, tax cuts for the rich, trickle down economist of sorts. pretty discredited in his work all over. i want to move forward. now ofeen two in a row people who have pulled out, nominees for the fed, because they were not qualified, because republicans on capitol hill couldn't even vote for them. i hope the president will spend real time talking to people and pick somebody professional that wants to keep the fed independent, somebody like jay powell, the chairman of the fed, whom i support. he's a republican, but i support him because i think he was right for the job. he needs to look at people like that. david: let's talk about the sort of thing he should be doing with the federal reserve. the president has made no secret of the fact he believes we should have a progrowth federal reserve, and there is some merit to

especially from a day large it seems to be intended to disprove the white house claims that the supreme court president michael moore they don't have actually turned on president nicolas another little lauren and what about up to this with the uprising or the attempts from my daughter to kind of create momentum on yesterday when it was not going now do you think. he had been calling appealing i would tell most begging on venezuelans to keep up that momentum to keep up the pressure and i think that the turnout that we have seen on may first has been rather disappointing for the opposition leader he you know he had asked for peace for this to be the largest demonstration in the whole history of venezuela there were a lot of people out on the streets but it certainly wasn't the largest by a long shot and in part i would say maybe because of fear there were more than a hundred people injured in tuesday's clashes and today we've seen the heavily armed riot police out in force dispersing crowds as they were gathering in several of the meeting point here and get out that say even in the ugly the plaza which is an oppositio

in the case of stephen moore, a trump ally who has been very vocal in supporting the white house's economic he was someone who had come under criticism for comments he had made about women, jokes that he had made. but also for some aspects of his economic views. all of this has been rumbling on in the background. there were signs that a number of gop members were wavering in their support. now we have learned that he, too, has withdrawn his name for consideration. of course, the wider context all of this, is we have seen donald trump in the past take a competitive or unorthodox approach to institutions in washington, and i think the federal reserve was no exception in this case. joining us isjeremy thomson—cook, chief economist at world first. he isjoining us for a look at he is joining us for a look at the markets. how are you? very good. looking forward to the weekend. tell me about it! let's talk about important figures coming out of america today, thejobs important figures coming out of america today, the jobs figures, important figures coming out of america today, thejobs figures, the

moore said he regretted the writings and they were met as humor columns. trump'ss an advisor to presidential campaign. a house judiciary hearing today featured an empty chair for attorney general william barr lasted less than 30 minutes, but the panel says it will continue its investigation. barr had been asked to testify about special counsel robert mueller's report, but the justice department said he wouldn't appear. committee chairman jerrold nadler says barr will be held in contempt if you does not negotiate in good faith. in the u.k., a secretary hit back at prime minister theresa may. he denies he revealed secret discussions about huawei's role in great britain, and he said that firing him was useful way to show that she is strong and bold. may said yet compelling evidence that williamson was the culprit. in india, nearly a million people have been evacuated ahead of what is expected to be a massive cyclone. it is expected to make landfall along india's eastern coast friday, with winds up to 124 miles per hour. forecasters say storm surges could reach five feet. global news 24 hours a day, on air and at

molly: as garrett mentioned earlier house democrats hope to hear from special counsel robert moore later this month and joining us now stephen lynch. thank you for being here >> think you, molly. molly: the date we are watching now as far as mohler's-- robert mueller is concerned is may 15. do you think it's important he comment testified? >> absolutely. i think there is some dick's scrap it and see about the way that attorney general william barr portrayed the more report when it first came out so it will be interesting to ask special counsel mueller with the differences between what he thought the reports should be in the one given by bill barr. molly: what do you think of nancy polizzi's accusation that a crime was committed by the attorney general? >> yeah, well, she said she thought his testimony was untruthful and that's arguably the case, so we will have to wait and see. molly: moving things forward, let's talk about this very wide field of democrats running for president. you have been quoted as saying you are essentially with joe biden at this point and that he's a friend. is hi

about that trump may be appointing political types to the board, like a steve moore or herman cain, but i did ask former g.o.p. houseajority leader, eric cantor, now an investment banker, i said york -- i said, you know, is there kind of an upside here? he basically said there is. >> what do you think about what he's doing with the federal reserve? >> you know, listen, every president going back forever, i remember in the reagan administration, i'm old enough to remember h where the supplier ciders -- supply siders were up in arms about volcker. the nominees, herman cain, i think he's a very nice guy, steve moore is a friend of mine, they seem a little overly politicized. don't you agree with that? >> i can only say if you look at what the president did, it was pretty crafty. if you want to see these rates come down and not go up, whether they stay the same or go down, to go in on public attack, it puts the federal reserve board in a position where, one, they don't want to be seen to be reacting to any political pressure, but also as policymakers in the monetary realm, they don't want to not do something that needs
