so of course janet yellen isot for them. of course, yellen didn't go into details on why she thinks what she does because if you unpack it, if you slow down and speak clearly, it doesn't make any sense. and janet yellen knows that she's an activist. she gets that logic irrelevant, thinking clearly no, that gets you nowhere. emotionhe is what carries the dt . and that's why during today's congressional hearings she started talking about yet another topic she knows nothing about gun crime. ! >> i am also horrified by gunha violence, what we'vet seen in recent weeks over and over many years. and i do hope that congress will take long overdue action and put in place common sense measures to reduce gun violence or more affordable. i'm i'm sorry, ma'am, you're the treasury secretary. >> let's talk about the economy, which is implode. stop with your little abortion talk gun talk, not your area. let's get back into your lane. you're the treasury secretary because she doesn't wantse to the goal always is to talk about anything other

what does janet yellen do wrong? they suggested what she did wrong was she failed to harness the power of the federal reserve to help african-americans specifically. now at first janet yellen seemed confused by this point, the point of the fed is to keep the american economy stable. it's not to pay off loyal blocks of democratic voters and tried to explain this. our power, she said, can't be targeted at the experience of particular groups. that was her response. the congressional black caucus did not buy it. their message to janet yellen was the same to you and every other person in the country, do what we say or we will denounce you as a racist. and finally, janet yellen got that message. boy, did she. within a year she had all but abandoned the traditional constraint of monetary policy, and steady there she was yammering on a public about things like racial equity and environmental justice. those are issues that unlike economics cannot be quantified or specifically defined, they are therefore perfect vehicles for p

well, secretary janet yellen, _ recession. well, secretary janet yellen, she - recession. well, secretary janet yellen, she is - recession. well, secretary i janet yellen, she is secretary of the treasury, that is part of the treasury, that is part of the treasury, that is part of the administration so they are on one message and the fed is working very hard behind—the—scenes in trying to stay way clear in the politics here, but yes, treasury secretary has basically come out first and said that she misunderstood the signals and she didn't call it correctly, and we will see what other people do, butjanet and we will see what other people do, but janet yellen was really the first want to fall on her sword in this which was maybe for political reasons that happen. maybe for political reasons that happen-— maybe for political reasons that ha en. ., that happen. 0k, we will have to leave it _ that happen. 0k, we will have to leave it there _ that happen. 0k, we will have to leave it there but _ that happen. 0k, we will have to leave it there but thanks i to leave it there

so janet yellen, treasury secretary, i would love to invite you to iowa. come spend a day in the life of everyday iowans and see what they are experiencing at the grocery store and at the gas pump. and i guarantee you she will not be so flippant with the american people. this elitist attitude that is coming from the left, when americans and iowans who are some of the hardest hit by inflation are facing really tough times. so come on folks, let's start putting in place to policies. that means this president and his administration a need to unleash american energy to bring those costs at the pump down. they should should get the graybeards off the back of small businesses. and, of course, then they should be shifting their focus, i've heard again that the build back better plant of what we call reckless tax and spend has popped up again with some of the democrats. we need to stop that. let's get back to good commonsense policy and let's not be so flippant about the hardships americans are facing. >> so as we know last week we saw the cpia 10.8% and pdi 10.8%

janet yellen, yes americans may have received a pay increase recently. but you know what happens when you have inflation? that means the increase in your pay is going towards things like the higher cost of gasoline and other goods that are costing more this year than they were at last year. so janet yellen, treasury secretary, ma'am i would love to invite you to iowa. come spend a day in the life of every day iowans. see what they are experiencing at the grocery store. and i guarantee you shall not be so flippant with the american people. elitist attitude that is coming from the left went americans and iowans who are some the hardest hit by inflation, are facing really tough times. so come on folks, let's put in place and good policies. that means if the president and his administration then to unleash american energy to bring this cost at the pump down. they should get bigger regulators off the backs of small businesses. and of course then they should be shifting their focus i've heard against the the belt back better plan are what we call reckless tax-

i agree with what janet yellen has said. elation is the number one problem for markets at the moment and we -- inflation is the number one problem for markets at the moment and we do not see peak yields are here yet. the fact that we have to move to at least around 2.5 4% for us to see any meaningful downtrend in inflation. dani: what do you agree has already been priced into market? to what degree does the fed need to get aggressive and to what degree is that already priced are not priced into the markets? lale: the market is actually pricing in the possible fed tightening cycles at the moment but at the same time, the market is betting on the fact that inflation rates will come down sometime this year. the risk is that this will stay elevated for some time. also i believe the fact that the fed might have to tighten in an aggressive session and that might lead to recession, which is something the market is not pricing at the moment. this tells us that the market is getting worried of higher recessionary risks and stagflatio

here is the line from the treasury secretary janet yellen. she said inflation is the key concern despite improvements in the job market >> inflation is clearly a major problem. it is president biden's top priority it's what i most focused on and it is what american households are concerned about because when you look at opinion polls and you see what households have to say, it is amazing how pessimistic we are given we have the strongest labor market we had in the entire post-war period people can easily find jobs. confident about the job market >> pretty upbeat comments with the labor market from janet yellen here in europe, the bundesbank doubling the expectation for inflation. cpi would rise by 7.1% this yea versus 6% six months ago here is a look at the dax. down 1.5%. the ecb is raising 25 basis points next month. the central bank cut forecast for the next three years, and predicted inflation will end at 6.8% ecb president said the central bank is focused on bringing inflation down to the 2% target. >> we observed inflation expectations

i want to get your sense of what you thought about janet yellen's comments. you told our producers people feel sour around the country. weigh in on her statements and how people are feeling being part of this. >> it was a rare moment from the treasure terri -- treasury secretary. he also heard her saying what we have the inflation we have. she said there were circumstances that could not have been foreseen that caused supply shocks to the economy driving the inflation we are seeing right now. what i heard her saying is a pushback to the criticism republicans have constantly launched at this administration, that it was their policy is fueling the inflation we see. what you heard is a lot of reasons we have inflation, inflation is a global problem, supply chain issues. they are pushing back on the criticism from republicans. whether the messaging resonates with voters and breaks through, that remains to be seen. the administration has been messaging on inflation for months. we see the data, peopl are not buying it. they feel bad about the outlook of the economy

janet yellen lied about the inflation that she created. she destroyed our economy more than any other single american. but that's not a problem for andrew russ sorkin. it's not like she wasn't playing for her employees abortions. we're quoting. if you're janet yellen, they wanted to run the economy hot. by running it hot, she meant destroy it and make the u.s. dollars worth less. it's not a big deal. it's not immoral. making you poor was a mistake. don't worry, janet yellen has never considered apologizing for it. no. what she's telling you is now that you're poor, shut up and abort your child. times are tough. you have to get back to work. there's a war on. do your duty. >> i believe that eliminating the right of women to make decisions when to have children could have damaging effects on the economy and would set women back decades. >> tucker: yeah, damaging to the economy to have children, new life. this is the american that janet yellen has created with the help of her friends in the media. you can't afford to get married or buy a hous

not just janet yellen right? we're talking central bankers around the world, they're in a serious fight for credibility. i think they may have lost it. joining me lyn alden investment strategy founder lyn alden. janet yellen's biographer made a lot of news over the weekend but i think it is title of her book holds the key. empathy economics. first of all is such a thing possible? sounds like a progressive dream. i think it might really point to why they have made so many mistakes? >> yeah. i think there are economic strategies that can favor the working classes more so than we have before but comes down to make sure they're aligned with incentives and appropriately structured. you can structure tax policy it favors the broad segment of the population more so than say you know we've done in the past but i think there are certainly ways of crafting that are more constructive than some things you've seen in recent years. charles: this is happying more toward modern monetary theory writing checks to people for not wo

yellen he didn't quite say janet yellen is still running the show, but we're all working together. he also confirmed what i had earlier, when i reported earlier on cavuto's show, that brian dee se played a major role in writing the op-ed that joe biden's name appeared on in the wall street journal and he said they all played a role in that meaning him and presumably others, but from what my sources are telling me, he played probably the major role and you could see his language throughout that op-ed and this is where it kind of gets scary on inflation. brian desantis december deese pushed esg policies at blackrock he took those , some of that same i guess advocacies and policies and brought it to the white house and essentially implemented it in fiscal policy. liz: what does that have to do with inflation? charlie: well think about that. if you are telling oil companies they can't drill, if you're making it more difficult for them to drill which is what esg is about, reducing your carbon footprint, if you're chevron, guess what happens? they don't drill and i think that's the sort

well, those are the points i want to get into with janet yellen. number one is why aren't we producing more american energy? and number two is how can you believe raising taxes is going to help? that the cornerstone of their economic policy. that is, makes no sense to the american people when they can't afford food or groceries, to be the faced with increasing taxes. that's not the solution. but you're right, the president has his cabinet members out traveling the country saying, hey, it's not all that bad. the american people are paying $4.75 for gas, they understand, they're going to believe their own two eyes which is their wallets which are empty and their savings are shrinking. maria: but, senator, is it intentional? we're going to take a short break. i want to ask you if the administration is purposefully driving up energy costs to ram through a climate agenda -- >> they are. maria: and why is president biden planning a trip to saudi arabia when he hasn't even been to the southern border? we are going to talk about that right after this. stay

it's like janet yellen, is this a thing janet yellen that was treasury secretary, you know i mean, where she tries to tell us that spending money from the government doesn't raise in population and printing for money? she used to have a different tone when she was the fed chairman. i don't know. i don't know if it's the same janet yellen. i have to go back and think about that. liz: well yeah, i do find that interesting, because tom hayes, when you superimpose target over these high energy prices and that's why we put these two together at the very top of the show. target is unfortunately on the shortened of how consumers are being forced to change their behavior, abdomen that first-line of defense is going to be that they're going to pullback on extra spending because they do need to drive to work. they do need, of course to fill their gas tank, right? but tell me, ex the energy sector what opportunities do you see knowing what we know about inflation now? >> yeah, well, liz, i think that one of the most important things that secretary yellen said is that one-third of inflation is attri

>> look, if ja janet yellen. >> she's not alone. if you look back at what the peds kwus forecasting and what wall street economists were predicting. >> omost of them with loud exceptions may expect we have a shortstop top of -- it would be transitory and it will come back down. >> that did not happen and as the year we are on last year. it became more and more evident that many of the assumption were much too optimistic. >> as the treasury secoretary, the me things like the war in ukraine, disrupting energy and food markets and avian flew. that's affecting prices right now. >>> china continues to have these lockdowns more than two years after this pandemic first hit the world. >> so, some of it was about overly optimistic assumptions made a year ago. not only by the treasure but by most economists. some are getting really unkentucky in the couple of years that have followed the pandemic. >> well, i have appreciate cancer when it comes to any officials. >> i do appreciate it, we biened with what you are going to do about it. >> let's

treasury secretary janet yellen. giving this direct admission that she made the wrong call last year when she predicted elevated inflation would not pose a continuing problem, telling cnn she misjudged the path inflation would take, saying she did not fully understand the circumstances and that unanticipated shocks later worsen the situation. at the same time, you had president biden meeting fed chair jay powell and the treasury secretary of the white house tuesday, part of efforts to reassure americans on the economies surging prices. biting use the meeting to declare that he expects that she respects the fed's independence and wants to team inflation ahead of midterm elections. inflation running at its fastest pace in four decades. members of k pop group bts have met president biden at the white house as well. they helped to bring attention to efforts to curb hate crimes in the u.s. and elsewhere. the fbi says 2021, 77% increase in crimes and violence against people of asian descent in the united states. bts member

watch this. >> not only does janet yellen, the treasure secretary fail to see any of this coming, janet yellen more than any other single person in america caused it in the first place, whose reckless loose money policy introduced her years at the fed policies that were bound to cause inflation and did. so if you're mad about the current state of the economy, janet yellen is probably the first person you should blame. why does she still have her job? she should be gone. this is a crazy. and in a functioning country janet yellen would be a retirement home somewhere writing her memoirs that no one would ever read but that's not what happened she's still the treasure secretary and not what happened today. instead democrats took turns bragging about their expensive electric cars. worried about gas prices, just get a tesla baby. >> carley: and there is no relief in sight as americans wake up to new record high gas prices. commerce secretary gina ramon dough says the white house is powerless and once again put the blame on russian president vladimir putin. >> it is in large part caused by put

>> those of the points i want to get into a janet yellen. why aren't we producing more american energy? that seems to be a clear-cut solution. and number two, how can you believe raising taxes is going to help? that is the cornerstone of theih economic policy. that makes no sense to the american people and they cannot afford food or groceries to be faced with increasing taxes. that is not the solution but you are right the president has his cabinet members out traveling the country saying it is not all that bad. the american people are paying $4.75 for gas. they understand they're going to believe their own two eyes which is their wallets which are empty and their savings are shrinking. >> but senator is itng intentional? were going to take a short break i went to ask you if the administration is purposely driving up energy cost to ram through a climate agenda? why is buying plane trip to saudi arabia has been to ukraine he has been to the southern border.au you just got back from kyiv yuma president zelenskyy. we are going to talk about tha

talking inflation and janet yellen was pressed by senator steve dane. listen to this. >> do you agree with the san francisco fed that the 2 trillion march spending package was significant causal factor in high increasingly broad base inflation we've served this last year? >> we're seeing high inflation in almost all developed countries around the world and they have different fiscal policies, so it can't be the case the bulk of the inflation we're experiencing reflects impact of arp. >> carley: inflation is up in other countries, what is your counter to that? >> brian: what is not true, they have different fiscal properties. europe has been high spending, easy money, guess what you get from inflation? this administration wanted to make it look more like europe, you succeeded. high inflation, can't afford what we're spending in government. that is the biden-yellen policy. >> todd: tucker touched on this, how disheartening the treasury secretary hopes things get better, but has no plan or solution to the problem that she in large part caused. >> brian: we

now janet yellen isn't blameless. she lied to americans for years about the inflation that she created. she single handedly destroyed our economy more than any other single american. bl but that's not a problem for andrew ross sorkin. it's not likeew she wasn't paying for employees abortion. and we're quoting, you know, if you're janet yellen, she's in a political job and they wanted to run the economy a little hot . that'so what sorkin said recently. nt by running a little hot, he meant destroy it i and make the u.s. dollar worthless. little mistake. it's not a big deal . it's not a moral. it's making you poor was a mistake and don't read . janet yellen has never evenn considered apologize h for it. know what she's telling you is now that you're poor, shut up an important child because times are tough and you've got to get back to workk. there's a war on do your duty. >> i believe that eliminating the right of women to make decisions about women, whether to have children would have very damaging effects on the econom

does janet yellen have any credibility at all? she's the one who told us that inflation was transitory, then came out and made it clear that she had made a mistake, so we should, i should, i spend more time listening to my golden retriever talk about the economy than i would janet yellen. ashley: ouch. >> as far as larry summers i've never been a huge larry summers fan but let's give credit where credit is due. he has been very very accurate during the pandemic in determining and being concerned that we would reach inflation, and he talks about the lagging effects of what the fed is doing with raising interest rates, and i think that is the most important thing he could say, because what larry summers is saying is even as they raise interest rates we are not going to see the effects of that for a while, so the economy does, in fact, will, in fact, slowdown and there will be a recession. i'm of the belief we're in a recession already. ashley: yeah, there are others that think the same thing. i was going to get to you on crypto, jef

treasury secretary janet yellen the biggest since 2022 as the economy slows down. bloomberg sources say the biden administration is rejecting claims about the taiwan straits is not an international waterway. a long weekend here in the u.s. with the juneteenth holiday on monday, but we are seeing that rebound in u.s. futures after the s&p 500 saw the worst week since march of 2020. we are talking about those recession fears being felt across the markets. the s&p 500 in fact very close to oversold territory on the 14-day, resting around the 32 level, and this, of course, as we have the market losing about $2 trillion of market value just last week. a drag in china index, a gain from five consecutive weeks, the regulatory backdrop is improving. we are seeing crude prices rebounding, the worst gate -- day in about three months. take a look at this chart on the bluebird, which actually shows you that we had the worst week since march of 2020. the s&p 500 energy index actually losing about 17% last week, the worst week in years, so we continue to see the downside pressur

the president's big economic plan and you have janet yellen saying i was i don't think on inflation. what do you think is going to get more play on republican attack ads, janet yellen or the president's op-ed? we all know the answer to that. >> let's play that moment from janet yellen earlier this week with our own wolf blitzer. >> i think i was wrong then about the path that inflation would take. as i mentioned, there have been unanticipated and large shocks to the economy. >> you can tell there, she's not a politician, because she said "i was wrong." >> this is janet yellen, honest to the data. >> there was an interesting bloomberg article about an upcoming book that said that she wanted to reduce the size of the stimulus package because of concerns about inflation. she came out yesterday actually to deny that she wanted to reduce the price of the stimulus package, but not that she was confirmed about inflation. the book said privately, yellen agreed that too much government money was flowing into the economy too quickly. i don't know, maybe call it a little bit of buyer's remorse,

treasury secretary janet yellen considering a federal tax gas holiday. the national average for a gallon of gas falling below $5 a gallon to $4.98 this morning. adam, i want to get your thoughts on the federal gas tax holiday. it seems the strategy is misplaced. it will bring prices down a little bit, not enough to give a meaningful difference for consumers and you'll have the federal government saying we need to make up the shortfall in revenue so we have to get it somewhere else. >> i have two responses. >>> i os agree with you, jackie. first of all, sect yellen, we will take the gas tax holiday and we need it and number two, president biden, why don't you please allow drilling on federal land where there is so much oil, it's cheap. you keep saying you can't do anything to help the american consumers with high prices at the pump. well, you're wrong. and you can. it's called opening up drilling on federal land. let the oil producers get in there, bring that oil to the surface, bring it to the market and lower prices. you want to lower prices, increase s

janet yellen is obviously saying she couldn't have foreseen the war in ukraine. there are certain obviously china shutting down, that have complicated the picture for inflation and it's going to be stickier than we anticipated. but the economy is strong. we are still growing. rising interest rates will hurt certain sectors of the economy. but there is still a possibility that in a year or two inflation will be tamped down. i don't think that anyone is as concerned about a stagflation situation. i think we have a stronger economy than we had in the 1970s. also, inflation is much lower than it was when it was peaking back then. the problem is not as great. we've always known this was going to happen. since the federal reserve took interest rates to zero after the 2008 crisis, we always knew interest rates would go up at some time. it happened fast, it happened furious. with a little weird complications on the global stage at the same time. >> the economy is strong. lots of jobs. the problem is that the inflation is out stripping and outpacing wage growth. >> sure.

we heard the comments from janet yellen. let's take a listen. >> we have had high inflation in the first half of this year. that locks in high inflation for the entire year. i do expect in the months ahead pace of inflation is likely to come down although remember there are some the uncertainties relating to global development. rishaad: chief asia correspondent -- economics correspondent enda curran is with us. somewhere suggesting 12% plus if he took the basket we had in the 1970's when jimmy carter was president. >> several experts came out and said do not expect inflation to come down soon. jerome powell making the point they will do effectively whatever it takes to bring it down. janet saying it will take a while to come back to where it should be. she is blaming a a lot of it on global forces. and then loretta mester's from the cleveland fed making a similar point. she went a step further and saying it is going to be heightening a risk of a recession in the u.s. it seems like the whole narrative in the u.s. has gone fro

but the san francisco fed where janet yellen useded toay be president has putin outf a study saying that almost all of the inflation is attributabletion to biden's plas and so they're in denial. they're destroying the economy . and you know,ts basicallyd democrats in congress need to step up and send an adult out of the white house and explain it to them because while. they're in denial, marketsil arr panicking. and in ane interview to get to your point in associated press, biden got really defensive about the inflation issue. he said a recession is notvi inevitable and then bristled at claims by republican lawmakers that last year covid-19 aid was fully to blame forre the inflation reaching this 40ac or high. he called that argument kevin bizarre. , but here was his own treasury secretary janet yellen last uryeekweek as she noted that spg produced excellent rewards for americans and at most it contributed modestly to inflation. >> now, kevin , it seems now like they're allll coming after janet yellen. >> her days are numbered. >> right. right. you know, there's a very chilling bloomberg

maria: yes, you mentioned janet yellen a lot of people disappointed in janet yellen a nobody realized the kind of political person she was, i think you are right about that, dagen mcdowell, give your assessment this is the worst number since december 19891. you've got all those things talking about, much higher priced than month before, like airlines like used cars, of course, food and energy. dagen: right you were talking about joe biden's little -- chitchat with jimmy kimmel where he said inflation was all gas and food it is not if you take out food and fuel you still got year-over-year prices soaring 6%, that isn't at the quite the 40-year high rate that you see for the top line number but it is still close to what we saw 40 years ago. 1982 . one thing that is disturbing andy lane 00 we lean on as oil analyst i keep talking about diesel fuel, but he noted that there is a point of concern in the price of diesel at the los angeles long beach area, that is close to 7 dollars a gallon for diesel almost a third of all are contained international waterborne trade passes through that area

treasury secretary janet yellen responds to growing fears of a recession, saying she doesn't think a recession is inevitable but she acknowledges inflation is a problem and she does expect the economy to slow in the months ahead. what she said about those skyrocketing prices at the pump and a possible gas tax holiday. >>> also tonight, the new evidence against former president trump that the january 6th committee plans to present this week. one of only two republicans on the committee, congressman adam kinzinger, says donald trump's role in the capitol insurrection would rise to a level of criminal involvement. will the department of justice bring charges? >>> the results of our new poll, do americans think trump should be prosecuted? >>> the growing travel nightmare. hundreds of flights canceled today, leaving thousands stranded and compounding fears of what's to come as we approach peak summer travel. the pressure the biden administration is now putting on the airlines. >>> the dangerous new heat wave taking aim at much of the country, millions under heat alerts tonight. rob marcia

janet yell yellen's not in the fed, she was. she also keeps chiming in. listen to the briefing yesterday. >> i don't think we're going to have a recession. i know people are very upset, and rightly so, about inflation. but there's nothing to suggest that a recession's in the works. charles: all right, so here's what bothers me, okay? i don't think we're going to have a recession, but on june 1st the federal reserve put out the beige book. it shattered the number for -- do you think they gave her a copy of that to say that there's no signs or hint of it? i think that's disingenuous. >> wait, i'm shocked, shocked!
