"Your Bloomberg business flush. All right, Doug, thank you so much. Doug prisoner there with a Bloomberg business news flash. So we talked about US Treasury secretary Janet Yellen concerns about climate change. That and Yellen's broader concerns about our economy are the subject of a new book. It's entitled empathy, economics, Janet Yellen's remarkable rise to power and are drive to spread prosperity to all the author, Owen olman, is executive editor of the international economy magazine, and he joined Scarlett and me via Zoom in Bethesda, Maryland. And so nice to have you here with us. How are you? And tell us about this book because it is about Yellen's life, her career. It's also very informative when it comes to the U.S. financial system. What was your thinking in your mission when you set out to write this? What was I thinking writing this book? But at home during the pandemic was time to research it, first of all, Carolyn's Carla, thank you so much for having me on your show. I appreciate it. So as a longtime reporter, over 40 years covering economics, politics for you is a today for Associated Press business week. I've gone to know Janet Yellen over 30 years when she first kind of Washington and the junior governor of the Federal Reserve. And I really come to admire her because she is a very unique person on many levels First off, it's unusual to come to someone across in Washington who is so nice and so unassuming and humble. You don't find that very often. And she hasn't been, let's say, become arrogant because of her positions. The other thing she is a real glass ceiling smasher. You know, think about it the first woman to be chair of the fed, the first woman to be treasury secretary after more than 230 years, and the first person of either gender to have those jobs as well as share The White House counsel of economic adviser. So she certainly has a lot of history behind her and so I thought she would be a fascinating person to write about basically how did this woman wind up such a historic number of positions, what is her philosophy and what has made her kind of such a nice person on affected by her celebrity and power. And so much of it goes back to her early childhood. She was raised in bay ridge Brooklyn. She was the daughter of a doctor and she saw the way her father treated patients and that had a huge impact on how she thought about the role that policymakers play on society overall. So that is, so she was the first wave of baby boomers who was born in 1946. And as a child where she lived and relative affluence compared to a lot of her neighbors. And her father was a family Doctor Who had his office in the basement of their two story row house. And she saw these patients come in to be treated and a lot of them were still suffering the economic scars from the depression, they were out of work. They were ill, they didn't have much money. And they had desperation on their faces and he was a wonderful caring doctor. He never worried about whether they could afford to pay or not he would take whatever money they could afford to give him. And the other thing she saw besides just how disadvantaged were economically, was how important the job is to yourself esteem yourself or in your feeling of wanting to produce something important in your life. I think that was a really big lesson for her, which led to her sense of empathy about how do you make the economy create as many jobs and as much prosperity for everyone, not just the well to do and those of us who may own stocks and have and higher education. But how do you make it work for people who come into their life with far fewer advantages? Hey, she just kind of been lord star. She seems like she just did one accomplishment after another Owen. But I know early on in your book, I think you talk about some of her time at Harvard. She left Harvard, right? Maybe at that point, nobody would have said, okay, this is a woman who's going to be head of the fed, US Treasury secretary, right? It was a different mode. And we just got about a minute and then we'll come back and talk some more. Sure. So basically, yes, in high school girls were barred from going to the school for gifted boys. Public school back then in the 60s, one of the rare people to study economics that in college and at Yale, and yes, at Harvard, she was denied tenure. She left, she wasn't feeling very confident about it. But her career then took off after that. She persevered despite all the barriers that women felt in the profession at the time. All right, we're going to come back, continue the conversation. We're going to continue with Owen ullman. Executive editor at the international economy magazine. He has a new book out. It is entitled empathy economics, Janet Yellen's remarkable rise to power and her drive to spread prosperity to all. And I think within his book to scarlet about someone saying that she just hasn't changed. And you feel like she's just so humble and so gracious and she's the same girl that she was in bay ridge and carries a lot of that into how she thinks about things. I remember when I saw her faint or kind of it wasn't faint but she kind of swooned a little bit when she was talking one time and it was because it was right after a satyr and she had fasted. And people were really concerned about what happened, but it turned out to be an innocent thing. Which is we're so glad she was okay. Okay, we're gonna get back to Owen in just a moment in the meantime let's get back to

The city's districting commission released a new preliminary city council district maps yesterday, a first look at how these legislative districts might be reshaped after the 2020 census. More from Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini, suzette, the maps make a new district running all the way from sunset park to bay ridge, and currently one council district includes sunset park in Red Hook and another represents bay ridge and diker heights, but under the new plan those get combined. The new maps also create a new district in Brooklyn, stretching from sunset park into bensonhurst that will be majority Asian American. The commission will hold a series of public hearings next month on these proposals, and then issue final maps that would go into the city council for review. Susanna. Bloomberg, Denise Pellegrini.

Even here, as we report on different stories on the other side of the world, it's been hard to miss the images of flooding in New York City. My former home Hurricane Ida, you will recall devastated much of Louisiana when it came ashore and then remarkably kept much of its destructive power. Even after it moved far inland and passed over 1000 miles of land before slamming New York. New York City Council member Justin Brandon represents part of Brooklyn and also chairs the city's committee on resiliency and Waterfront. So we've called him Council member Good morning. Morning, Steve. Thanks for having me. How's the recovery going in your district? What's interesting about my district is two of the main neighborhoods in my district's are have names that include elevation You have Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights. Uh, and usually in storms like this. We are immune and stay pretty dry. But this time was different. I don't know that there was a house or a basement in my district that didn't take on Water of some kind, so it's clear that we're dealing with a very new reality here. And when you say new reality, you mean, of course, that by climate change, there's likely to be more storms like this. Absolutely. And for those of us who have been sounding the alarm on this stuff for a long time, you know, we often feel like the boy who cried Wolf. But now it's clear that you know the clock has run out and the new climate reality is here and like you said, I mean, the fact that we had a storm that devastated Louisiana and, you know, days later, also devastated New York City is just It's just a very, very new reality that that we need to prepare for it. We need to prepare for a very, very Quickly. Well, let's talk about that preparation because some people will know New York has had devastating storms before the city was trying to respond. The city's already been raising some of its shorelines. Now, I guess we have to ask are those existing and planned improvements enough? And I think they are enough. I think the issue is that they're not happening fast enough. I think it's not like we're staring at a blank page here where we don't know what to do. And now, today, we have to figure out how to make our city more resilient. We know what to do. The problem is bureaucracy. You know you have you have fights on city state federal level that often, uh, that often bottle up these projects that frankly, we don't have time for. You know, this isn't the same as You know a new slide in the playground. You know, these are projects that really is a matter of life and death. Um, and everyone really needs to come together to push this stuff through because almost 10 years later Now I'm still visiting communities that are dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. So you have You also have an equity issue here because you have primarily low income communities of color who are really on the front lines of the climate crisis, whether they like it or not, Um, so I think really what called Right now. What's what's called for is partnership on every level of government to recognize that this is an emergency. That's not coming soon. It's here right now. It's sitting on our couch with us drinking coffee. And we need to do something about it, but we know what to do. We just got to do it. Sitting on the couch with you drinking coffee and perhaps feet in the water that's on the floor. How different does the city need to look in 10 or 20 years and it looks now. That's a great question. I mean, I think part of this is about sort of lifting that veil of exceptionalism, right? I mean, I love my city. I love my state. I love my country. But maybe we don't have all the answers. And if other places are doing things better than we are, I think we've got to be willing to listen to and learn from from what other cities or states or countries might be doing. Because, frankly, the cost of doing nothing at this point is far greater than the cost of doing something. Um, and these storms clearly are only going to get worse. And there's a lot of us who have been saying this for a long time. And none of us take any satisfaction over. You know what? We've been warning finally being here, But that's that's what we're dealing with. Right now. The climate crisis is not at our doorstep. It's here. It's inside homes. Can I just ask? New York, of course, is an archipelago. It's almost all on islands other than the Bronx. Can you imagine some parts of New York City being abandoned in the future? It's certainly possible. You saw that in parts of Staten Island after Hurricane Sandy, I think you're absolutely right, Steve People forget that New York City is 520 miles of coastline. We have four of the five boroughs are either islands are connected to one Um, So you know, I don't know. People think of New York City is landlocked in some way. It's very, very much not so not only do we have a coastline, we have islands and and we're very, very vulnerable to these storms are one of the most active urban hurricane centers. So, um, this is just you know, it's new reality, but but it's It's something that we've been. We've been warning. We've been sending me alarm on for a long time. And it comes to a point where it's like, well, how many once in a lifetime storms Can I have in my lifetime? Um, it looks like we're all about to find out.

You know, this isn't the same as You know, a new slide in the playground. You know, these are projects that really is a matter of life and death. Um, and everyone really needs to come together to push this stuff through because almost 10 years later Now I'm still visiting communities that are dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Um so you have You also have an equity issue here because you have Primarily low income communities of color who are really on the front lines of the climate crisis, whether they like it or not, So I think really, what called right now. What's what's called for is partnership on every level of government to recognize that this is an emergency. That's not coming soon. It's here right now. It's sitting on our couch with us drinking coffee. And we need to do something about it. But we know what to do. We just gotta do it sitting on the couch with you drinking coffee and perhaps feet in the water that's on the floor. How different does the city need to look in 10 or 20 years and it looks now. That's a great question. I mean, I think part of this is about sort of lifting that veil of exceptionalism, right? I mean, I love my city. I love my state. I love my country. But maybe we don't have all the answers. And if other places are doing things better than we are, I think we've got to be willing to listen to and learn from from what other cities or states or countries might be doing. Because, frankly, the cost of doing nothing at this point is far greater than the cost of doing something. Um, and these storms clearly are only going to get worse. And there's a lot of us who have been saying this for a long time, and none of us take any satisfaction over. You know what we've been warning finally being here, But that's that's what we're dealing with. Right now. The climate crisis is not at our doorstep. It's here. It's inside homes. Can I just ask? New York, of course, is an archipelago. It's almost all on islands other than the Bronx. Can you imagine some parts of New York City being abandoned in the future? It's certainly possible you saw that in parts of Staten Island after Hurricane Sandy, I think you're absolutely right, Steve. People forget that New York City is 520 miles of coastline. We have four of the five boroughs are either islands are connected to one. Um, so you know, I don't know if people think of New York City is landlocked in some way. It's very, very much not so. Not only do we have a coastline, we have islands and and we're very, very vulnerable to these storms or one of the most active urban hurricane centers. So, um, this is just you know, it's new reality. But but but it's It's something that we've been. We've been warning. We've been sending the alarm on for a long time. And it comes to a point where it's like, well, how many once in a lifetime storms Can I have in my lifetime? Um, it looks like Councilman find out. Council member, Brandon, It's a pleasure talking with you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Steve. Justin Brandon chairs New York City's Committee on resiliency and waterfronts. Yeah. If you know Marilyn food, you know the crab cake soft Patties made of fresh lump crab meat, But the main ingredient blue crabs from the Chesapeake Bay have been harder.

"To the corners corner segment of asked the lawyer This year. You know, it's an election year. I mean, yeah, we're not running for governor. We're not running for president. But there are people they're important races throughout New York City City Council races, let along the race for mayor. And what with us right now We have two guests. Fran Villamarin from the New York State Conservative Party and Brian Fox candidate for City Council in neighborhood where I live in Bay Ridge. Welcome to the show, guys. Thanks for having me on great to be here. Now, Fran. You and I live in the same neighborhood pretty much. Uh, We got a city councilman out here. What's wrong with him? Well, basically the City Council when we have is absent, he doesn't represent the community. The quality of life since he's been elected has gone down. Taxes are up. Crimes up, but a quality of life is really decreased, and we need somebody in that position that can help save our community and saved the city. We need somebody that's going to be present and do the job. Okay. Which is our other guest Right here. Brian Fox. Brian. Welcome to the show. Thank you so much. Okay. Now, Fran, why did you guys decide to endorse Bryant? Brian has the qualities and qualifications to be a city councilman and represent the community well. He believes that we need to improve the quality of life. He's a big supporter of the N Y P D. He wants to drive down crime. He wants to lessen the burden on our small businesses and the people that live in the community, and that's the kind of person that we need in the City Council, and that's something So that's the kind of person that the Conservative Party wants in the City Council. Okay, Brian, let me ask you this question. Why did you decide to run for City Council? I mean, who wants to get involved in politics in today's world? Yeah, that's a good question. Very good questions. So I think that being a small business owner myself, I actually have the I T staffing firm. They run out of the house right now. I've been in business for quite quite a while, but I think that over the time of just living in bear Ege I've seen an unfortunate turn around with with with several points. I think crime has risen over the last. You know, if you even give it a span of between 7 to 10 years, I think that crime has gone significantly up. Vandalism, graffiti, The quality of life has gone down and as a concerned neighbor and and and business owner, um I decided to, um you know, put my hat in the ring and and and run to hopefully make a change in an impact will it locally in the community. Now. I mean, right now, it seems like New York City. Uh, you're talking about inmates running the asylum. I mean, if that doesn't fit right now, I don't know when it will, but You know has has the I'm say his name Justin Brannan. He's done anything as far as speak out against bail. The bail reform is sledding. Criminals, commit a felony a violent felony and get re released in a few hours. I don't think he's he's done anything to address that. And frankly, I mean, I do give credit where credit is due, and unfortunately, in this case, it really is not to give. Um I don't think that he's done anything to address the uptick in crime. I don't think he's done anything to address the situation with with Bill Reform and qualify and the qualified immunity situation. Um, we see so many, for instance, is whether there protests or whether they're just, you know, general crime. You'll see that police are a lot less willing. Now there's to make necessary arrests due to the fear of being personal help being held personally liable in several cases, whether it's a necessary arrest, or, you know, whatever The particular situation is, Um, so it's an answer your question. I think he has done um, very, very little, if not anything at all to address the uptick in crime. If I made may add to that Not only has he done very, very little, but he's done harm. Is actually supported defunding the police. He voted for that in the City Council. Yes, absolutely. And and and that's that's a major issue for me. I mean being that I back to blue and vigorously black to blue and and the police department. Local law enforcement corrections. I've that's going to be part of my platform from here until election Day. Uh, and moving forward beyond that, um, he has advocated for not just the dismantling of the N Y p D but also wants to introduce Unarmed caseworkers to show up to potentially violent situation. So it's going to step further, if not even just defunding the police but also supporting non arm's individuals going into potentially violent situations, which I don't know what world he's living in, but I know that in my ideology does not work. All right now I'm friend has Justin Brannan done anything to help the business owners in Bay Ridge or wherever. I mean, I don't I don't know of anything. Maybe he can tell us how I don't know of anything that he's done to help the business owners and be rich or any part of his district. The policies that he's voted for in the City Council have done nothing but damage the environment for businesses in the community, So I I don't see that he's done anything good. Um, I think that everything that he's done. All the votes that have taken have been detrimental to people not only to business owners, but the people that live in the community as well. Well, let me ask you something apply to the landlord's right now. Mean landlords can't affect anybody. Is a moratorium. The eight They're in some cases. So so somebody's not paying rent. They can't do anything about it. They've got to let the 10 and sit there. But at the same time there real estate taxes went up. And I think that's unconscionable. Everybody is getting government handouts, but the landlords and homeowners Your real estate taxes are going up. Meanwhile, or everything else, all the other expenses. Everybody else is getting a handout except the landlords. That's true. And if I can add to that the whole idea behind the property taxes in New York City have been a problem, especially for our community. In Bear Ridge. We pay higher property text and in other neighborhoods such as Park Slope. It's inequitable, and he promised, he promised. Justin Brannan promised that he would help fix the situation that he was going to do something about it. He has done nothing about it. Brian, What do you have Anything, dear to that? Yeah, I definitely agree with friends. I mean, it's it's something that he has an address, and I think that that's that's I mean being, you know, homeowners in in the local community, something that there needs to be a plan put in place. That's Feasible. That's plausible, and that's something that we we plan on putting together. Um, once elected. Okay. Now just quality of life, Brian. What? What do you have to say about quality of life in Bay Ridge Dyker Heights area. Sure it could definitely improve. I mean, I think that whether your renter's whether you're a homeowner, um, anyone living within the district deserves a great quality of life right so well, going back to what I was mentioning before, in terms of the not just the uptick in crime, but also when it comes to the lack of trash pickup On the corners of the trash that has been kind of built up and accumulated not just on the corners but also just in the streets..

"For The New York Times. Let's remember your name. That That's okay. No worries. So, Michael, this one's on your beat. Do you know the answer to her question? Yeah, Yeah. No, it's an excellent question. And you know, I'm I'm surmising because policies have not been set either backstage or For audiences yet, but I guess I'll call your attention to a few things that you probably already thinking about actors. Of course they're going to be unmasked on. They're going to be in really close contact with one another and with their crews. Both backstage and onstage. Uh, they're going to be singing they might be kissing or fighting. It's a completely different level of interaction. Then you're likely to find in the audience and in the audience masking is going to be required on what we're already seeing from labor unions like equity is that their expectation Is that sort of level of safety protocols that is required for vaccinated people is just far far lower than the level of protocols that they want in place for unvaccinated people. S so this kind of a practical consideration about whether these shows could actually put into place. Kinds of protocols that equity has been requiring for unvaccinated workforces thus far, eh? So my guess is that as a practical matter, uh, that's gonna be a really, um expectation of vaccination. Backstage, You know for the audience, it's complicated. There will be masking. Obviously, a big part of the Broadway audience, for some shows his Children who are not currently legally eligible to be vaccinated. On. And as you say there's a financial concern as well. Broadway's already worried about the disappearance. Of tourists, and each time you add another restriction on who can attend. You reduce the number of people you can potentially sell tickets, too. Man to thank you. I hope that answers your question, At least in part. I'm glad you got through. Please call us again. Um, well, Michael, let me stay with you on that, because as of today, Only place that are not musicals can reopen. This month at limited capacity because of the extra spewing that singing involves It's a leap of faith toe think that that's not gonna matter as soon as September, right? Look, uh Yes. Uh, I I think Uh, everything that's happening is based on trend lines and forecasting. So you know the tickets that have gone on sale so far all include these disclaimers that they depend on permission from various regulatory authorities. But I think there is you can feel that the city is taking EPPS gradually toward reopening, more businesses are open. More schools are open. People are starting to go back to work. People are you know, subway ridership is up. Airplane travel is S so this is a forecast guesstimate that given the trend lines for both infection rates and vaccinations. That it's it's possible to imagine people going back inside Broadway theaters in the fall. Mike on the Upper East Side about the ballparks. I'm Mike. You're on W N. Y C. Brian, Thanks for the taking my call, So I'm fully vaccinated, but I think if I'd like to go back to baseball games, but I think if I was going to go, I would probably honestly prefer Being in a section of people who aren't necessarily vaccinated, where there's spacing between different groups of people then sitting, you know in in a section where everyone's vaccinated, but We might be, you know, sitting next to each other throughout the entire section complete capacity. Um, you know, I'm not a doctor or medical professional, and I realized that maybe that's silly and not really consistent with The best science, But I think at this point where it's still fairly early, I would really be more comfortable with more spacing, You know, especially outdoors, you know, three or four seats between me and the people around me. I feel quite comfortable whereas right next to a stranger, even though they're vaccinated. I'm not sure I'm not sure how comfortable I feel with that. Not interesting. Mike Daniel, Like I could see it right? It's not. It's not a logical which way is a cautious, vaccinated person going to feel safer. Ah, shoulder to shoulder in a completely full section with vaccinated people or sitting in an only one third full section, which will be the new rule. With people who are unvaccinated. Maybe there'll be people like them who who go to the ballpark and, you know, declined to show their vaccination status, so they get shunted into that other section. I think that maybe a prudent response. I mean, even though you know, it does seem like it is fairly safe in an open air stadium when people are masked, you know you are still yelling or potentially eating, drinking, and you're pretty close to other people. Interesting thing about that is that you know stadiums like for instance, the Texas Rangers have been able to have a full stadium since the start of the season. Their opener was pretty packed. But they actually have some sections where they have distance cheating because some fans are comfortable being in the packed stadium. So, yeah, so it's sort of the reverse situation. People have to opt in. For the space. Can a stagehand in Bay Ridge. You're on w N Y C. Hi. Can Brian I. My biggest concern is actually audience to, uh, crew audience actor interaction. I'm a sound mixer. So often times I am sitting in the audience. Less than six ft away from the audience. Um And because Broadway, uh Relies so much on international tourism coming back. The whole vaccine. Passport thing is kind of Important to me because we have to be able to not only test and verify that New York residents and national residents are vaccinated or have a negative covert tests. We have to be able to do that to our international tourists coming through as well. So I'm wondering if there's any sort of More discussion on the vaccine passport and how that is going to directly affect my coming back to my work safely. Michael It's an excellent question. I don't know the answer. I think there's a general expectation that international tourism is gonna Remain pretty low for the rest of the year. But it's not going to be zero. And I know exactly where you sit in theaters and I hear your concern. And these are all gonna be factors as As you and your colleagues and the producers in the theater owners all grapple with This question of who should be required to be vaccinated if anyone went theaters reopened. Daniel, did I hear something from the governor and I don't have the details on this, But I thought in that news conference, I heard it go by that. In some cases, there would be a vaccine requirement. But there wouldn't be the option to show proof of a recent negative test because it's too complicated. Is that something that you're familiar with? Yeah. My understanding is that they're going to remove that as a requirement to get into the stadium. So basically you present them with proof of immunization, which can be you know, the CDC, the paper card. A nap that shows it or the state's Excelsior pass, and then you can go into the vaccinated seating. Otherwise, you will go into the unvaccinated seating. They think that that's just an onerous requirement. That won't be that won't be necessary anymore with these new regulations. Oh, so it'll just be vaccinated or unvaccinated at the ballpark. You don't have the option. To take a rapid test there or to take a PCR test within three days and bring that negative test paperwork. That option is going to go away May 19th At least that's my understanding of it. They are offering vaccinations for people at the stadium. The Johnson and Johnson shot and they say that you will get it. If you get the shot at the stadium, you'll also get a voucher for a free ticket. Folks later. In the show. We're going to talk to Actors from Hamilton and other Broadway plays and get more on this from the performers. Perspective perspective For now, we thank Michael Paulson, who covers theater and Daniel Slotnick. Who covers New York generally from The New York Times. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you very much. And what else can you do with your kids? You can go on summer vacations and send them to summer camps. But if the adults are vaccinated, and the kids aren't Then what? We'll talk about that next? On.
