a pat toomey may not be a household name, but he's important. he's a senator from pennsylvania and he used to be the face of then new conservatism, anti tax, you know, really a hard core conservative. well, i had a friend who had lunch with pat to me today in pennsylvania, and they were talking about the times this friend was a leading brand name democrat who lamented the loss for the country of pat to me. so i guess if pat to me has been moved to the fringe, what has happened to the republican party? i really appreciate your pointing out that study. and yes, senator pat, to me is my home state senator here in pennsylvania in 2004 pat to me primary and almost be a long time incumbent republican arlen specter. and you're right for years with the face of republican anti tax kind of fiscal conservatism. but with a study in a study that i did with my colleague cons, know all. we found that very quickly after trump emerged on the political scene, political activists right and left, started to define who is most conservative, not in terms of tradition

saying the economy could still use some improvement today, senator pat toomey.saw yesterday with the fed chairman, what do you anticipate asking him today? >> becky, thanks for having me i remain concerned the fed has constructed a paradigm that almost guarantees if this inflation that is now with us. it is already here if it lasts longer than the fed thinks and they've been wrong about the level of inflation they've been under estimating this at least all of this year if they've been wrong about how brief this will be, they'll be behind the curve especially at a time when they know this has been a time of employment maybe even full prospect i hope jay powell is right and this spike turns out it be a brief and passing thing. >> what has he told you? >> what is different is that we have new data. we didn't have 5.4% cpi for instance it has gotten worse if inflation starts to really take hold, it will move and change their policy to address that i can't for the life of me figure out how it makes sense buying securities when the housing market is going through the

pat toomey is here. thanks for joining us.r biggest concern as americans are clearly, at least for now, paying a lot more for everyday items in our lives. >> yeah, we sure are. prices are up more than they've been in a very, very long time. inflation is here. it's real. you know, an an annualized basis, the first six months, inflation ran over 7%. that is painful. that's a lot higher than the rate at which people's wages are growing. so people are falling further behind. my worry is that despite this very strong growth, despite this tremendous recovery in employment and really every major economic data point, the fed keeps pumping money into the economy as though we were in the depths of a severe recession. we are not. money supply has grown so much and, you know, too many dollars chasing too few goods is the recipe for inflation. i'm also worried the fed has put themselves in a position where it almost has to wait too long. they said it's transitory and they will tolerate inflation above 2%. how do you know something is trans

. >> and senator pat toomey from the state where president biden is making the push for voting rights tweeted this. s-1 is a power grab that could nullify state voter i.d. laws, mandate public funding of political campaigns and transform the federal election commission into a partisan body empowered to limit free speech. this is a bad bill, he wrote. are they wrong? >> i think they are wrong. the fact of the matter is this is about the power of the american people, whether independents or democrats or republicans. they want to access the ballot box in a convenient and straightforward way every two years. that's what we're trying to deliver to them. and this bill would set broad standards across the country for how people can get registered and can access the ballot box, but it would definitely respect local election officials and the opportunity for states to develop their own way of reaching those standards. so this is not a power grabby any particular party. this is really the american people stepping up and saying we want to see our power reflected in the way elections are conducte

april, the housing sector has fully recovered from the downturn and this this morning from senator pat toomeys absolutely soaring in many places to completely unaffordable levels, i have to ask, why on earth is the fed still buying $40 billion in mortgage backed bonds each month? >> and then you have president bullard concerned that maybe we're feeding into an incipient housing bubble. i wonder if this program of continuing to buy up these mortgage backed securities is unintentionally worsing inequality because people are being priced out of these homes. >> yeah, i think the fed should be worried about an overly hot housing market right now. i don't think we're anything close to the bubble we were in 15 years ago. mortgages are much smaller part of household financial portfolio right now. but, you know, cheap mortgage rates are a wonderful thing, but the flip side of cheap mortgage rates is that house prices go up a lot. and it becomes harder to buy one, we're going to start to see rents going up as well. so i think if the ted has tools, which it does have, to tamp down the housing market a l

i was sort of flabbergasted to see the retiring pennsylvania senator pat toomey tell jake tapper thisning that he didn't think donald trump would be relevant in the 2022 election. he didn't see a reason to go on with this investigation. that clip that you just played at the top shows why we must have that investigation because donald trump is absolutely making that a central issue for republicans going forward. he wasn't there just to speak for himself in arizona. i listened to that entire five-hour lineup. that forum was not only to keep the big lie going but to enforce it among republican officials and candidates. you had speaker after speaker embracing that big lie. this question is not going away. in order to have a truthful, honest accounting for what happened, we absolutely need republicans who seat truth of that election, to serve in that commission. i really hope she find more staff and counsel who are on the republican side to assist in that effort. >> congresswoman liz cheney and adam kinzinger has said it before he was officially asked and then accepted the position saying

ted cruz says it's a sham, pat toomey says it's politically advantageous for democrats to keep this issuecarthy who you referenced a moment ago is accusing speaker pelosi of structuring the committee to satisfy her political objectives what is your response? >> the republicans are talking out of both sides of their mouth. we offered a commission that was five democrats and five republicans, in which not a single subpoena could be issued unless at least one member of the other party agreed to it. they turned it down, and they turned it down in bad faith. they turned it down because they didn't want the investigation to go forward. so now they're complaining having turned down a commission of equal members, now there's a select committee that has been established by the speaker. the only common denominator, they don't want the truth to come out. they want to white wash history, suggest this was a normal tourist day. they don't want to expose the big light to further public scrutiny but the reality is, if we don't reveal what happened on that day and the threat to our democracy, when people

i wanted to make a pat toomey watch it and watch his eyes. but you're absolutely right.l of this because it's normal. they've gone so far. and here is the question, though. what is happening? i do think that anytime you get someone to believe a lie or something that is insane, you establish more power over them. at a certain point they surrender to you. and so what you're seeing it escalate, they go along with it. i'm glad you played that bite of the republican -- conservative republican state senator running for secretary of state and she is booed off the stage because she won't go along with this farce. that, to me, is a symbol of a shrinking republican party. this is not a party that is expanding its base. this is a party that is not only getting crazier, it is getting smaller. and what donald trump is doing, it's almost like he's saying how far can i push these people? how much can i make this a litmus test for them? and he will demand that they agree and support this, and they're doing this in states that, in fact, have been trending away from the republican party.

reporter: senator pat toomey in his opening statement was going after the federal reserve and as welll reserve has been miserable forecasting inflation where it would be. was under 2% target until this point. what makes the fed believe they can forecast howe long inflation will go allowing inflation to run hot for a period of time? he says how can they trust the federal reserve to be in front of inflation, if they let it go hotter than they think, then they might not be able to catch up. his concern for the federal reserve chairman was the fed would have to take drastic measures. that would severely slow down and hurt the economy going forward. he also says that the new framework for the federal reserve doesn't really work because it favors employment over inflation. he says that new framework which averages 2% allows the fed to have the economy run a little bit hot to get the average at 2%, that new framework then works against the fiscal policy. senator toomey says fiscal policy is paying people to pay home. the federal reserve is trying to accommodate the market and quon my to get
