. >> paul krugman wrote about the nasty turn. he wrote mr. sanders is starting to sound like his worst followers. bernie is becoming a bernie bro. the campaign has brought out a streak of petulant self righteousness in some supporters. has it brought out that in the candidate too. the implication is that it has. >> listen, paul krugman every couple of weeks writes a column attacking bernie sanders. his views about the economy and bernie sanders are as different as day and night. bernie sanders understands that the economy of america is rigged, that it's sending all new wealth to the top and the rigged economy is held in place by a corrupt system of campaign finance. mr. krugman doesn't agree, but that's bernie sanders' stance and that's why he's running for president. >> i want to play that moment again from from philadelphia yesterday, bill clinton taking on some protesters who were interrupting his rally. let's watch. >> i don't know how you would characterize the gang leaders who got 13-year-old kids hopped up on crack and sent them out on

who has the toughest plan according to paul krugman, a leading progressive economist?took on the insurance companies when it wasn't popular, got knocked down, and kept fighting? hillary clinton. so i think the record speaks for itself. bernie sanders is out there talking about special interests. i think he needs to be asked -- the nra funded the opposition to his opponent in his first run for congress. what did he do? he voted against universal background checks for firearms five times. so i think bernie sanders has a lot of questions to answer here in new york about his own record on special interests, particularly the gun manufacturers. >> which i'm sure secretary clinton will bring up tonight. last night senator sanders, tens of thousands of people came out to a rally. that is something i know you would love to have. her rallies are different. what will you do to generate that sort of enthusiasm for her? >> i'm proud of what hillary has already done, which is generate 2.4 million votes more than bernie sanders. she's winning the popular vote. she's winning the deleg

paul krugman to professors and universities, barney frank, they have said i have the plan that will actuallyork. senator sanders couldn't answer questions about whatever his plan is. so we'll talk. >>> still ahead on "way too early," after the death of former saints player will smith, sean payton is saying something that could get him in trouble in right-leaning louisiana. >>> and plus, the weather headline continues to be the destructive hail in texas. bill karins thamells us where i headed next when "way too early" comes back. right-leaning louisiana. trolling for a gig with braindrone? can't blame you. it's a drone you control with your brain, which controls your thumbs, which control this joystick. no, i'm actually over at the ge booth. we're creating the operating system for industry. it's called predix. it's gonna change the way the world works. ok, i'm telling my brain to tell the drone to get you a copy of my resume. umm, maybe keep your hands on the controller. look out!! ohhhhhhhhhh... you know what, i'm just gonna email it to you. yeah that's probably safer. ok, cool. try align fo

people like paul krugman paid him a visit and said don't do it. we will see what happens.dea that the fiscal stream has to do something is a popular one at the moment. if you are a central bank, it's like, ok, we are still the only ones doing something. do we stand aside just because you are doing nothing? it.e have to act, so be i'm done. i'm not allowed to say anything else. betty: daniel moss. tune in to our special coverage "the fed decides" starting at what clock p.m. eastern time right here on bloomberg television. -- 1:00 p.m. eastern time. mark: matt miller faces off against carl riccadonna. stay tuned. ♪ betty: it is time now for the global battle of the charts when we take a look at the most telling charts of the day. we are mixing things up today. you can access these charts on the bloomberg. this is one of my favorite moments. carl riccadonna, i think he makes his debut today. carl, take it away. : what i'm showing you on the chart here is productivity versus labor cost. nonfarm productivity, the white line here. what we've seen here in the last several years i

as paul krugman has said, their on accelerating or deepening the great recession is overstated. he has probably studied this more than anyone else. i want to make clear i'm not likeng for a 45% tariff donald trump is or anything like that. just to give you an example of where tariffs have come into play in recent policy, there is a type case on steel -- of steel that is working its way through the system right now. president obama's a ministration someministration has set of these tariffs at over 200% which sounds like a lot. president reagan intervened in two ways, to save harley-davidson motorcycles facing competition from japan grandso to create a bargain on currency. even in modern days, you have seen the use of tariffs as economic purposes being a valuable thing. which presidential candidate do i support? i am gladpartisan, so these issues are being raised. waysl say that i think the donald trump has raised them does not do anybody service. there are serious economic reasons why you would want to change our trade policy cap -- a couple of degrees. clinton had a manufacturin

paul krugman says there is no evidence raising the minimum costs jobs. and the studies are a little vague. >> the studies look at the existing changes in minimum wage the last 20 years, which is fingering with the numbers. a lot of these are rollover employment. when we talk about doubling the federal minimum, there will be no ambiguity left. >> when you talk about the democratic party who say they want to help immigrant. can you mawng come to this country legally. checked all the boxes and done the hard work. they might need a little training and extra help. >> this is when the private sector can work on its own. walmart raising its wages for 1.2 million associates. the average pay is $13.40 an hour. john: the unions say they only raised their wage because they saw the minimum going up and that prompted them to do it. >> the unions want them to do it so they get more negotiating leverage in terms of work rules. seiu is backing hillary clinton but they are also funding the fight for $15 and behind bernie sanders on that. they will take it where they can

he has been severely criticized, hasn't he, by a number of people including paul krugman.shows what is going on inside the heads of central bankers. things: there are two that he did. the first is, he is laying a claim to regulation. the second thing is what they are showing is, they are open to of differentlot things. clearly it is a problem for them, but they have not reached their inflation target. sweden's economy is booming, but their inflation target has not reached. reached. there's a real issue there. they are not going to raise the inflation target as some people have suggested. they might change it to a target they think is better. mostnk perhaps the important change would be to reintroduce the interval, having a point target -- lovely piece on helicopter money, it's all the rage. you wrote an extensive piece on what are the options. very briefly, are we heading in that direction? our global central banks really heading toward telecopter money? gabriel: i think there is a child balloon from the bank of look at thef you academic and public debates, it is being men

but if you look at the issues, well let me just quote paul krugman, who was the best liberal -- >> no one's idea of a conservative. >> and a great commentator. go back and read his columns in 2008 and he documented that she was the barack obama's left -- >> left. >> -- on domestic policy. i do have some questions about her on foreign policy. >> right. >> also president obama. i think the time has come. i like the president's initial notion to get out of iraq and afghanistan. he's getting pressure to go back in. there's nothing we can do there. the notion that we can by military force, make coherent society -- >> yeah. >> -- for the people who are determined to hate each other. >> and you think her position on those issues is different than his? >> no, it's the same as his and i want them both to pull back. >> wasn't she also late to the party on gay marriage? >> in a way, obama was. >> yeah, he's not running again, last i looked. he's not running. >> no, but he's the one that they sort of hold up. she came to same-sex marriage -- no, actually she was before him as a new york senator.

many people including larry summers said paul krugman felt it was a mistake. >> i don't regard that as a mistake. i continue to feel the economy has made very substantial progress. [laughter] >> a gallon greenspan was registering agreement. [laughter] >> we set up to criteria to best -- to boost the rate. one vases we wanted to see substantial progress. we also recognize it was running below the 2% and wanted to feel reasonably confident. . . sp >> we tried to make it clear there is not a preset course of rate increases. we will watch clafrlly what is happening in the economy and adjust policy as appropriate. we took one step, now u.s. economy has continued to progress in a satisfactory way. we have continued to see good job performance. some evidence of inflation moving up so that was our expectation when we raised rates in december. we indicated we thought the path of rate increases would be gradual and that remains our best guess and expectation. that the if the economy continues on the path it is on of recovery that further rate increases will be justified but for a variety of reas

many people, including summers, paul krugman, martin wolf, very distinguished economic commentators and economists, felt it was a mistake. in retrospect, was it a mistake? >> well, i certainly don't regard it as a mistake. we set two criteria to boost the funds rate that led to the december decision. one was we wanted to see substantial progress in the labor market, and we felt that had been satisfied. and we also, recognizing that inflation was running below our 2% objective, wanted to feel reasonably confident that inflation would move up over the medium term back to 2%. we all felt, i think, that those conditions were satisfied in december and justified taking a step. but we've tried to make very clear, there's not a preset course of rate increases. we will watch very carefully what is happening in the economy and adjust policy as appropriate. so we took one step. now, the u.s. economy has continued to progress in a satisfying way. we have continued to seek good job performance, some performance moving up. that was our expectation when we raised rates in december. we indicated that w

. >> here's paul krugman in the "new york times."one thing for the bernie sanders campaign to point to hillary clinton's wall street connections, which are real, although the question should be whether they have distorted her positions, but recent attacks on mrs. clinton as a tool of the fossil fuel industry are just plain dishonest and speak of a campaign that has lost its ethical moorings. then there was wednesday's rant about how mrs. clinton is not qualified to be president." it does seem like he is now getting his time in the sun, close to it, and we'll see how he does. he's been winning. go ahead, willie. >>> let's talk about bill clinton's exchange on the trail yesterday. >> incredible. >> a heated exchange with protesters of the black lives matter movement during an event in philadelphia. the interaction spanned more than 10 minutes. 42nd president fighting back against criticism of his 1994 crime bill. . >> here's the thing, i like protesters but the ones that won't let you answer are afraid of the truth. that's simple. be a

every progressive economist from paul krugman, to professors at universities, barney frank, they've all said i have the plan that will actually work. senator sanders couldn't even answer questions about whatever his plan is. >> covering the sanders campaign, and kristen covers the clinton campaign. has sanders backed away from his unqualified charge against her? >> it's pretty clear, chris, he has, yeah. he made it exactly twice. once at a rally in philadelphia late last week. again, the following morning at a press conference. and after that, in interviews on nbc, "morning joe," the "today" show, he backed away from that. it's clear having talked with some of the sanders advisers that that was ultimately an indefensible critique. at least in the long term. it's just a very difficult argument to be out there making over and over and over again. and instead, he's gone back to this critique of her judgment, which by the way, it something he's been saying for several months over the course of whether it's the iraq war or other policy judgments, henry kissinger, other areas. so i think what

many people, including paul krugman, martin wolf, there he distinguished economic commentators felt it was a mistake. in retrospect, was a mistake? : i don'tn yellen regard it as a mistake. it feels like the economy had -- towardsubstantial our goal. [laughter] >> i think alan greenspan was registering agreement with that. [laughter] met in chairwoman, if you could begin again. we sit at twolen: fundsia to boost the rate. it led to the december decision. one was he wanted to see substantial progress in the labor market. we felt that have been satisfied. we also recognizing that inflation was running below 1% or 2% objective. it wanted to feel reasonably confident that inflation would move up over the medium-term back to 2%. we all felt i think those conditions were satisfied in december and justify taking a step. is not on anyy preset course. also every three months my colleagues and i sit out our individual projections both of what we anticipate for the economy and also going along with that what we think is a monetary policy path that would be appropriate. we set out projections like

tom: paul krugman is talking about monopolies.e new york times" -- do you think the wi-fi was cut off? fios customer and have had a good experience. tom: it's a nice essay on the incentive to invest. it goes over the great mystery within the broader economics. howdy you invest? in the age of oversupply, why'd you need invest if there is too much stuff out there? hint out there in last week's economic data showing weakness across the board and industrial capacity and utilization it has been declining. bumping upes are not against capacity constraints, or laborlittle -- costs -- then there is little incentive for them to make significant capital outlays. vonnie: you have fios working beautifully but many don't have it. david:fios is competitive with cable companies. this was competition. vonnie: the build out has stopped. david: they invested in the first 25% which is the highest tourn and it got expensive take fiber optics out to the rest of the country. deals: we have seen some get stopped recently. in europe as well, there is a o

i like paul krugman and agree with him who is her economic guru.he has moved to the left from her husband's position. she is not going to have robert rubin as a retired -- secretary-treasurer. it will be fascinating to see how she incorporates the growing progressive economic equity part of the democratic party that burning has brilliantly organized and mobilized. to me what is most important is that hillary is -- she is progressive. she is a leader. she has far better track record of actually getting things done than bernie sanders, who i knew very well in vermont. he has given the same speech now that he gave back in 1974. i lived there in my early days of antiwar and feminist activism when he was working the liberty union party. i will tell you, i do not think he has changed. economic inequality has grown. his message has become more relevant. i'm glad he is raising it. to me, the most interesting thing about the debate last besides the israeli-palestinian issue, which i do want to say was astonishing . in a thing of beauty that he have the cour

these guys, i'm getting information and they send me paul krugman's article and bernie's numbers don'tit's a lot of reasons. >> the daily news, his positions are fantacist. that was a tipping point for a lot of new yorkers and i think that's why he's not having momentum. >> harvey's daughter mentioned the ripple effect that i've picked up from several different people over the past several weeks that bernie's continuous and sometimes unhinged assault on hillary clinton has, i think, gotten a lot of women to react in the opposite manner than bernie sought, and now they're going back to hillary clinton. >> yeah, on the women's issue. as a young, 18, first-time voter, but my daughter emma was free school, free lunch, i don't have to talk to dad, i don't have to pay those student loans back. i said, don't worry that i'm in the 85% tax bracket. >> as you say, dad can take care of it. >> but in last night's nbc news poll that comes out after everything you've just discussed, bernie sanders closes the gap to a statistical tie nationally. and the nation's been paying attention to all of these

by the way, paul krugman has said her plan to rein in wall street excesses is stronger and more specific and more viable than sanders' plan. so i would say to progressives, look at the platform, and then think about who could put the platform best into action. a lot to respect about bernie sanders. a lot i appreciate about him. but i think hillary is the person who can get that platform achieved. >> you also ran on bringing a change in police/community relations. you kept a promise of bringing down stop and frisk down but at the same time crime going down. both senator sanders secretary clinton are speaking that at national action network's convention this week. what should they be saying to those that are concerned about criminal justice and police reform? you ran and won on that. they both supported the omnibus crime bill that many of us had a problem with in the '90s and even now they both have not been as clear on this. but mrs. clinton has got the overwhelming majority of the black vote. what should they be saying to people that have concerns in this area. >> look a lot of mistakes

. >> paul krugman wrote a scathing "new york times" column. >> one of many. about 15 of them, okay? >> he's reeling them off. >> but he loves bernie. >> not feeling the bern. in this one, he essentially asks whether bernie sanders is becoming a bernie bro. he says the way that senator sanders now is campaigning raises serious character and values issues. recent attacks on mrs. clinton as a tool of the fossil fuel industry are just plain dishonest and speak of a campaign that has lost its ethical moorings. as the sanders campaign become too negative, and really focused mainly on essentially destroying hillary clinton? >> no. mr. krugman should stick to economics instead of pseudo psychology, which is what that column is all about. this campaign has two candidates, two strong candidates who have big differences on big issues. and that's what we should debate. and we hope we do in new york. listen, how we fund campaigns is one of the most important issues in american politics today. after citizens united decision, the campaign landscape change. and if you fund your campaigns with massi

. >> paul krugman said is mr. sanders -- walking away if he can't pull off an extraordinary upset and possibly putting ted cruz or donald trump in the white house. i was with a bernie sanders' supporter last night at dinner. she was very clear that it's a bernie or bust movement for her. what do you say to those supporters if senator sanders does not get the nomination. >> first, we think we can win. second, i would say to mr. krugman or the democrats that, listen, bernie sanders between now and the end in california and the district of columbia can bring in millions of new people into the democratic party, young people who are registered to vote. look how many young people we had in wisconsin, more 18 to 29-year-olds than voters 65 plus. that's what we are trying to do is build a party. it's an enormous contribution and we should let him make it. >> will senator sanders raise more money for the party? i know he has on a limited basis. will he raise more money for the party? >> sure he will. >> why hasn't he so fa

liberal economists like paul krugman, ezra klein, and when senator sanders got this question at the dailyan was. when he was pressed on it, he said what she sass said. the authority is in dodd/frank through the regulators to break up the banks that pose a risk to wall street. >> why do you think the kids, the younger people, the 28,000 people in prospect park this weekend, why aren't they getting that message? >> i think there are a couple things. i haven't heard anybody ask senator sanders why he's not winning with people over 35 or over 40. you know, this electorate, hillary clinton has put together the most diverse coalition. i think young people have no doubt been passionate and excited by senator sanders but when you look at this electorate, we are winning among all voters over the age of 30. we are winning among african-americans and latinos by 3 to 1. we're winning among women key to the democratic party by almost 30 points across these races. i think when senator sanders dismisses states as being in the deep south and calling it very conservative, it belies the facts. states like

paul krugman was going to be on set for me. the head of media matters was going to be here to talk about -- you like everybody. you get along -- >> equal opportunist. >> there is one person they put in there for him. i can't say who. >> why? >> i'll tell you later. >> we can't say yours either. you've had some run-ins. >> yours i thought was a joke and that was the end of that. >> we had spitzer coming on to talk about reputation. >> the disgraced former governor. >> all right. anyway, that was our april -- we both fell for it. >> well, the first thunging, i said, look at your 6:20 lead. look at my 7:40 lead. >> wow, paul krugman is coming back on. i can't believe -- i swore he'd never come on. i'm going to give that to andrew. no, he can't do it because he works there. that won't be objective. i go, okay, i'm just going to do it. i'm going to be nice, but if he says something just totally ridiculous, i'm going to have to, right? >> how long did you think about it for? >> not that long. i messaged someone about -- oh, i can't s

i remember paul krugman coming out years ago and say about the swedish rates, monetarist. still in that world it is a race to the bottom in the fx market where in the sense this is a swedish central bank not looking at gdp but focused more on currency? tom: i would say the issue is the flow issue, which differs nation to nation and even within regional blocs. the most interesting story is germany.ll react to i am fascinated by the negative interest rate effect, not on deutsche bank, not on commerzbank in on the mid-and small banks of germany. aghi will even dr mention that, but there will be a lot of allusions to what the bank still. jonathan: that is a good point because we are talking about sweden and whether they need interest -- negative interest rates. some people will argue that germany does not need them either. vonnie: in less than 10 minutes we will be getting the ecb rate decisions, and none of those .urveyed expect any easing take a look at this index because it shows the market does not expect a rate hike for another 44 months, almost four years. joining us is
