i have spent a great deal of time on the campus at the university of michigan. ve met with all of the groups on a regular basis. and they are torn apart. i think that the three presidents who testified on the hill did a terrible job. let's all beingacknowledge that. they were lawyered. and if you read my weekly letters, i do a newsletter every week, i've been talking about free speech and the importance of protecting the basic rights of the constitution. but when do you cross lines. and when you are on campus, i've gone and met with these kids, they walk down the street and people yell against jews. but when talking to the arab-american and muslim students, women are afraid to walk across campus. they have had thajibs torn off their room. and there is fear on the campuses. the president can say you need to protect defree speech, but their campuses are being torn apart and people are hurting. people have families impacted on all sides. so what they have to do is remember that there is heart and soul that has to come to this. our delegation meet with the president

redmond diary likes the theater, which is where we had those who the places and that's at the university of michigan with julian is a student who was sitting here. there's a couple of us, i mean, kind of went to the elections together. there wasn't many actually students that had the crossover between physics, science, lod, sciences and politics of leslie. so i was really lovely to engage with someone who was thinking about both of those things and how to marry up those kind of ideas of logic and political thoughts. that ability to one thing clearly critically from original perspectives and to, to have no fear and communicating them to think outside the box to think from a different angle. here is clear that it was incredibly at the depth of that's even computers, as mazda, head of, i think, where most of us were with what we were learning and in science. and actually, i think i had it on a lot of the computer science courses at the time that was at solar eclipse. and the office to go through and south is right, like a narrow window through the well man yourself, julian, and a night of as a cramped

financial times and university of michigan.egraph writes that putin’s russia is approaching a crushing victory. posted by daniel hannan in mid-july. the same propagandist. assured that russia was about to lose, putin was definitely finished, so it was time to think about how to take away nuclear weapons from the defeated russians, but after the failure of the offensive in sosof, he abruptly changed his shoes. american senator james swans explains that only people without brains can believe in kiev’s victory. everyone knows, everyone with brains in their heads knows that this should always have ended in negotiations. the idea that ukraine will push back russia. nobody really believed it. let's not forget, jake, ukraine is functionally destroyed as a state. the average age of a soldier in the ukrainian army is now 43 years old, which is tragic, they are older than me, i am 39. if all this lasts a little longer, the average age will be more than yours. at the same time, nato and the european union are panicking about the possible

i think really the bigger picture to take away is that last friday we saw from the university of michigany that short-term inflation expectations have plunged from about 4% to just 3.1% and highly driven by lower energy prices. what we are seeing is a mild winter, so people's energy bills are not as high as before. that is a gift from the weather and energy component alone. sonali: a lot of luck on the side of the administration. what about the fed? inflation is not going to be less of things like oil prices. does it change the contradiction in terms of the fed cuts into next year? anna: the fed cares about two things first, what the court inflation data is showing. and second, what inflation expectations are showing. the fact that we have seen a plunge in short-term inflation expectations actually gives room for the fed to cut. if they see that core inflation is on track to fall to 2.5 percent, 2.6%, i think the marker which signals the fed could be cutting is if the six month annualized core cpi or core pce, gets to about 2.6%. that is about the time where the fed could cut. so i think

betsey stevenson is a professor of economics at the university of michigan and was a chief economist at the department of labor during the obama administration. dr. betsey stevenson, thank you so much for joining me. so the pandemic obviously took a major hit on women have women bounced back from that time? as of now? you know, this was our first recession where our women lost more jobs than men, but they actually come back even stronger in terms of their labor force participation. so for prime age women, meaning sort of working age women, they are in the labor force at a higher rates than they were prior to the pandemic pick. one of the things that came out of the pandemic, of course, was flexible. if you're looking specifically at childcare and i'm curious if we have found that there's a great upside to the flexibility or if there's a great downside to that flexibility for women, that flexibility, i think has been tremendous for the us economy. the surprising thing is we don't have as many childcare workers today as we had prior to the pandemic. so childcare is not fully recovered.

i want to read you a sentence from another report that came out this morning this is the university of michiganthe first sentence in the summary is, consumer sentiment soared 13% in december, erasing all declines from the previous four months, primarily on the basis of improvements in the expected trajectory of inflation. so one thing that speaks to your question is inflation expectations have generally stayed pretty intact during this period and our theory has long been, if we can keep moving in the right dringz, easing cost, slower inflation while maintaining a tight job market, promoting real wage gains, sentiment would start to improve this is one preliminary report, i don't want to overtorque on it, but it's certainly a move in that direction. >> jared, it's not all inc inclusive, is it we keep hearing from retailer after retailer and consumer company that the low income consumer is suffering. and that we're seeing an impact and they're getting crushed by higher rates and higher inflation. >> i think if we're talking about folks in the bottom half of the pay scale, there you really have to
