yellin has demonstrated what her predecessor at the fed dr. ben bernanke described as a lifelong commitment to using what she's learned as an economist, to improve the lives of average people. as chair, she focused on how the feds work shaped the job market and addressed inflation, striving to improve conditions for american families, who had been deeply impacted by the great recession working to build an economy that could benefit all members of our society. prior to her time as chair, dr. yellin served as president and cheech executive officer of the federal reserve bank of san francisco, where she played an important role in identifying the key factors that would shape the coming financial crisis. particularly in the housing market. she's served as chair of the counsel of economic advisers the professor amerita at the university of california berkeley, where she's served on the faculty since 1980, currently, dr. yellin is the incoming president-elect of the american economic association and a distinguished fellow in residence with the econo

lots of people have been -- you can go through janet yellin. all of these people are very political. but in the nicest way possible they should be qualified to make decisions. these two are just as fine they vote in one direction or another, but when it comes to the day job, they're professional and they assess the economy based on facts are you suggests that you think cain and moore would not do that >> i think that would be the concern. and i would say it's more what i believe. >> i think it would give the market perception, the others did hold positions in different administrations, but when you look at janet yellin, she had a very stellar career, and deep as an economist and different functions. seen with bernanke as well, these were tried and true and more traditional economists, there was less concern they would be politically biassed >> i -- also, art, the difference here -- i get your point, that, you know, the president is always a point -- political nominees, but one of these nominees ran a pact supporting president trump's policies a

i love it. >> keep it calm. >> i'm keeping it -- so follow jessica yellin on instagram.s never getting better than this. >> time now for business before the bell. sara eisen, a lot of speculation. uber has released the paperwork for its long awaited ipo. >> we can expect a big one. one of the biggest ipos ever as much as potentially $100 billion. just to put that in perspective it's double the market value of fed ex. two fed exs there. could be the biggest since 2014. this is what we know about uber based on the document that they put out. they're still growing fast when it comes to revenues, not the hyper growth days of its early period, remember, this is a decade old company but it is losing a lot of money. this is a company that lost almost $2 billion last year. it is an investment mode. it's investing to grow businesses like uber eats which is growing very, very fast. investing in scooters and all types of things. so the question is do they want to get in on what has been a transformational product and service in our lives, 91 people use uber on a monthly basis. so i

and was fairly dovish and in fact, he almost had a couple of rate hikes under his time and janet yellin started under her time and he would have seen that before criticizing his actual policies but it's interesting on a personal level he played someone you then criticize because they are not getting what you want them to do and i think that she won't do what he wants them to do more quickly as with other entities in washington, but i alsogt think that he has looking at the markets and ultimately they are coming out to the same conclusion which is there might possibly be a cut in the rate by the end of this year and it happens chairman powell will say it's because of the data. the net result is going to be the same. >> host: lexington mississippi you are on. >> caller: thank you for taking my call. i am a primary care physician who happened to come here in lexington mississippi. my issues are very complicated. i came here to get my own green card which took almost three years because my son is a us-born citizen. vthallenge anybody to come and visit and see the suffering of the american p

by the way, powell had a history of working with janet yellin. but let's stick again to the facts.phen moore, for example, was one of the architects of the horrendous trump tax cut. that's one the trump people said would pay for itself and there were billions and billions of dollars off on that. so this is really a crucial time to recognize that the fed is independent. we want capable, competent people. and we certainly don't want people who are just going to carry water politically as we move into an election cycle. >> you know, there seems to me to be a similarity between the department of justice and the fed. doj is actually within the executive, the fed is independent. but there's traditions of independence and arms length from the president in both cases. and the president hated jeff sessions because he felt he was not obedient enough and now he hates jerome powell for exactly the same reasons. are you worried fundmentally about the feds independence? the president will be able to successfully harangue, bully, get his cronies on the board and steer the economy in a way that's

for yellin former chief corresponded with cnn. a lot to discuss. any other things you want to preview for the show?>> reporter: the other big story of the week is the mueller report and what comes next. the committee in congress the key committee the house oversight committee will be the ones who would talk to robert mueller. they are the ones that are digging into this. one of the congress members on the committee is talking to us about that. and about whether democrats will be pushing for impeachment going forward. we have a spirited debate with our panel. there is a lot to get into. a huge political week. we are excited about this week's show. >>> we are excited as well. we look forward to the show again up and i knew somehow will be a guest among others as we mentioned on the issue is. it airs tomorrow morning at 6:30 am right here. followed by mornings on 2. >>> we will ship to gears and talk about the warm weather we have had in the bay area. mark is here to tell us we will get on a curveball tomorrow. >>> tomorrow you will notice a drop off

[applause] [applause] >> thank you doctor yellin. as our audience is getting close to the microphone i would ask that as you prepare your questions that you actually ask the question and for the sake of time you keep it to one question. if you don't mind i will begin with a question and as people are coming forward, we know he has spent many years of your career in higher education and i wondered if you could talk a little bit about how that work in higher ed in her preparation really influenced your work as chairperson? >> thank you so much. i have found that all of the economics i have learned, studied, taught and researched has been highly relevant in the jobs that i faced and research is a very important part of what the federal reserve does. we have one of the largest and best groups of research on economists in the country. there are 300 phd's working just in washington and a far larger number throughout the federal reserve. i truly believe that the research function of the fed where we have -- attract individuals with very sol

. >>> a former white house chief correspondent for cnn, jessica yellin joined us for midday live to addn the report. >> the main takeaway is the report makes very clear, bob mueller thought he didn't have the legal permission to indict the president. and a lot of his decisions were made in light of that. meaning if i can't indict him, why should i even find him guilty of obstruction, which is very different from what the attorney general presented. and it really opens up the possibility that maybe congress has morley way to step in or is more impelled to step in and take action. >> here's what some of our local members of congress think. house speaker nancy pelosi tweeted attorney general barr's partisan behavior has triggered a crisis of independence and impartiali impartiality. barbara lee tweeted this picture of blacked out page from the report with the caption "lightly redacted." eric swalwell, who recently announced he is running for president tweet you'd can be the president's defense attorney or america's attorney general, but you can't be both. and senator kamala harris, whose a

it is a fairly good model he has, so with respect -- and the answer to janet yellin, he gets it. he is a smart guy. very well-informed. trust me. dir.m going to move on -- kudlow: go into the oval office. let me tell you. i'm in there all day long in various informal meetings or formal meetings, and i can't begin to tell you how smart -- he knows stuff. he is a businessman, he knows a lot. you have to be sharp, have to know your stuff. on this and many other things. trust me. he is a very sharp questioner. >> since you brought that up, i have a very long question from somebody who says you had an interview with stephen moore, who is under consideration for the federal reserve in 2015, and in the interview, mr. moore called the immigration policies "crazy" and said they were bad economics and worse politics. you agreed. dir. kudlow: that was right at the beginning of the campaign. there was a lot of misinformation, a lot of rumors. we had the story wrong and that often happens. i love my three hour radio show, loved it. maybe sunday, we will do it again, who knows. so you talk abo
