"Latest edition of the balance of power podcast, a conversation with Angela stent of the brookings institution about the latest Russian attack on Ukraine. Well, this is a grinding war of attrition. I mean, the Ukrainians have been making gains. They've been taking back territory that the Russians took, but the Russians have retaliated. They're trying to destroy the infrastructure in Ukraine to private people of electricity of heat of water. This was by far the largest bombardment in Kyiv and some of other cities like this that we've seen in weeks. So the Russians aren't going quietly, they may be doing badly on the battlefield, but they're still using their app our really to try and force the Ukrainians into submission. While we're moving towards stalemate here, Angela, are we in stalemate right now? I wouldn't describe it as a stalemate because obviously there's bombing going on there are deaths that casualties every day. It's maybe a dynamic stalemate because as I said, the Ukrainians also making some games and the Russians have withdrawn from territories that they controlled before. But we're not quite as stalemate yet. But we'll have to see what the rest of the winter brings because I think that will be much more difficult to prosecute the war for both sides. There's a long protracted conflict over there where Russia holds at least some of the territory they had. Does that play to Vladimir Putin's benefit in the long run? I'm not sure that it does. I mean, the Russians in our demanding that the Ukrainians recognize their annexation of these four areas in Ukraine. None of which the Russians completely control and of course the Ukrainians are refusing to do that. Russia does still have this advantage in air power at the moment.

Market Whiplash As Jobs Report Undermines Powells Less Hawkish Speech
"We are going to check in on some of the macro topics that all of the shenanigans and crypto world have forced us to not cover during the week. And where I'd like to start is with Jerome Powell's remarks on Wednesday, which were the second most anticipated comments of the day after Sam's New York Times conversation. So Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell spoke at the brookings institution on Wednesday, ostensibly to discuss the labor market, but also to clarify the path forward for fed policy. Some commentators were of the opinion that the fed chair would use the speaking engagement to talk markets down. This is something that we've been talking about all year. This microcycle where markets start to get ahead of themselves, the fed deploys a bunch of speakers to say, hey, chill out. Sometimes using Powell himself, and then yes, markets chill out. One of the most notable examples of this was the infamously hawkish Jackson hole speech in August, which cut short a relief rally in equities in just 8 minutes. What we got instead from Powell was much more moderate, largely seen as firming up the likelihood of a smaller 50 basis point rate hike at the December FOMC meeting. The focus shifted to the anticipated higher for longer rates policy with Powell saying, quote, the time for moderating the pace of rate increases may come as soon as the December meeting, given our progress in tightening policy, the timing of that moderation is far less significant than the questions of how much further we will need to raise rates to control inflation and the length of time it will be necessary to hold policy out of restrictive level. End quote. Now despite appearing to give his blessing to slowing rate hikes, Powell also expressed the need for more data before declaring victory in the fight against inflation. He said, quote, it will take substantially more evidence to give comfort that inflation is actually declining. The truth is that the path ahead for inflation remains highly uncertain. In response to a question from a JPMorgan economist about whether he would take a shock and awe approach to rate hikes, Powell said quote, I think we are in a position where the right thing to do is move really quickly as we have and now slow down and get to that place where we think we need to be. And by the way, there's high uncertainty around that. Now, turning to the main topic of the speech the labor market, chairman Powell fleshed out his view on the cause of tightness in the labor market, and the gap in the participation rate. He said quote, these excess retirements might now account for more than 2 million of the three and a half million shortfall in the labor force. Pal said that the labor market is only showing quote unquote tentative signs of what he called quote unquote rebalancing, stating that to be clear, strong wage growth is a good thing. But for wage growth to be sustainable, it needs to be consistent with 2% inflation.

US hiring stayed strong in November as employers add 263,000 jobs
"The jobs market stayed strong last month, despite high inflation and an economy that's growing slowly. Employers added 263,000 jobs last month, down slightly from October, but all told it represents a substantial jump, given the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes as it tries to stem decades high inflation. As employers keep hiring, paychecks keep going up, and the combination of more jobs and higher wages could complicate the fed's inflation fight. Job openings exceed available workers by about 4 million that is about 1.7 job openings for every person looking for work. Chair Jerome Powell told the brookings institution this week a robust jobs market is a key inflation driver. He'd like to see slower job growth and more modest wage gains. Sagar Meghani, Washington

An inflation gauge tracked by the Fed slows to still-high 6%
"A government report shows one measure of inflation eased last month, but is still at a high level. It's called the personal consumption expenditures index and it shows consumer prices rose 6% in October from a year earlier, down from 6.3% a month earlier, but still elevated. The Federal Reserve closely monitors the index, and the number likely reinforces its intent to keep boosting interest rates as it tries to cool the economy and ease the worst inflation in decades. We need to raise interest rates to a level that is sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to 2%. But fed chair Jerome Powell told the brookings institution yesterday the Central Bank could slow the hikes when it meets in two weeks. Sagar Meghani, Washington.

"A look at the markets this morning. So a lot of people are puzzled by the stock rally that we saw on Wall Street yesterday. Powell signaled a slowdown perhaps in the pace of interest rate hikes, but he underlined the borrowing costs are still kind of keep rising. So why is it that you saw such big gains and stocks, in fact, in Asia continue to see gains Europeans futures are rallying 1.3% this morning. The other factor though to remember is China appears to be softening its COVID stance, suicide 300 is up by 1.2%, the hang seng index up by 1.4%. The pretty big dollar spot index now they're dropping half of 1% this morning the Euro trading at one spot zero four four four and treasure yields now stabilizing after the big declines that we saw following Powell's comments initially interpreted as pretty dovish. Also big factor, perhaps portfolio positioning at the end of the month, Stephen. Well, we start our top stories today with the Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell, who cemented bets on a 50 point pike in December after delivering four straight 75 basis point moves, speaking at the brookings institution in Washington, Powell offered guarded optimism that price pressures are set to slow. The time for moderating the pace of rate increases may come as soon as the December meeting, given our progress in tightening policy, the timing of that moderation is far less significant than the questions of how much further we will need to raise rates to control inflation. When asked if the fed could reduce inflation without tipping the economy into a steep downturn, piles that he was optimistic that it could do so.

"To give remarks at the brookings institution as we wait to get that audio. We anticipate that he is going to be addressing the question of monetary policy just two days before the blackout period cuts in and we are trying to work right now to make sure we have the audio from the brookings institution in Washington D.C.. In the meantime, we're going to ask for our Washington bureau chief piggy cons to join us as we get the audio straightened out here. Peggy, oh, I'm sorry, I beg your pardon. We got it. Here is fed chair J pal. We will not achieve a sustained period of strong labor market conditions that benefit all. We currently estimate that 12 month PCE inflation through October ran at 6.0%. While the October inflation data received so far showed a welcome surprise to the downside, these are a single month's data, which followed upside surprises over the previous two months. As figure one makes clear, down months in the data have often been followed by renewed increases. It will take substantially more evidence to give comfort that inflation is actually declining. And by any standard, inflation remains far too high. For purposes of this discussion, I'll focus my comments on core PCE inflation, which omits the food and energy inflation components, which have been lower recently, but can be quite volatile. Our inflation goal is for total inflation, of course, as food and energy prices matter a great deal for household budgets. But core inflation often gives a more accurate indicator of where overall inflation is heading. 12 month core PCE inflation stands at 5.0% in our October estimate, approximately where it stood last December when policy tightening was in its early stages. Over 2022, core inflation rose a few tenths above 5%. And it fell a few tents below, but mainly it moved sideways. So when will inflation come down? I could answer this question by pointing to the inflation forecast of private forecasters or of FOMC participants, which broadly show a significant decline over the next year. But forecasts have forecasts have been predicting just such a decline for more than a year while inflation has moved stubbornly sideways. The truth is that the path ahead for inflation remains highly uncertain. For now, let's put aside the forecasts and look instead to the macroeconomic conditions we think we need to see to bring inflation down to 2% over time. For starters, we need to raise interest rates to a level that is sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to 2%. There is considerable uncertainty about what rate will be sufficient, although there's no doubt that we've made substantial progress, raising our target range for the federal funds rate by 375 basis points since March. As our last post meeting statement indicates, we anticipate that ongoing increases will be appropriate. It seems to me likely that the ultimate level of rates will need to be somewhat higher than thought at the time of the September meeting in the summary of economic projections. I will return to policy at the end of my comments, but for now, I'll simply say that we have more ground to cover. We're tightening the stance of policy in order to slow growth in aggregate demand. Slowing demand growth should allow supplied to catch up with demand and restore the balance that will yield stable prices over time. Restoring that balance is likely to require a sustained period of below trend growth. Last year, the ongoing reopening of the economy boosted real GDP growth to a very strong 5.7%. This year, GDP was roughly flat through the first three quarters and indicators point to modest growth this quarter, which seems likely to bring the year in with very modest growth overall. Several factors contributed to this slowing growth, including the waning effects of reopening and of pandemic fiscal support. The global implications of Russia's war against Ukraine and our policy actions, which tightened financial conditions and are affecting economic activity, particularly in interest sensitive sectors such as housing. So we can say that demand growth has slowed, and we expect that this growth will need to remain at a slower pace for a sustained period. Despite the tighter policy and slower growth over the past year, we have not seen clear progress on slowing inflation. To assess what it will take to get inflation down, it's useful to

"This is Bloomberg daybreak Europe. It's important to recognize the scale of the damage to some excess and the Chancellor will have a lot of work to do to try and put that right. The main thing about inflation is it's going to not be until the middle of next year when it really starts to come down significantly. What a mess. This country is in. We've had 12 years of conservative government, and it is ordinary working people and businesses that are paying the price. Bloomberg daybreak, Europe, on Bloomberg radio. It is 6 30 a.m. in London good morning. I'm Stephen Carol. I'm Caroline Hepburn. Welcome to Bloomberg daybreak, Europe. So we're going to look ahead to the speech by Jerome Powell at the brookings institution later this morning. That could be quite key in terms of the signals that he gives around a December and whether U.S. inflation has peaked or not at stock futures at the moment pointing higher both for Europe and the U.S. at the start of training U.S. stock city futures up by half of 1%. Bond markets U.S. yields at three 72 down by two and a half basis points. We also have a much softer dollar down a tenth of 1%. And Chinese markets have been hit again by concerns around COVID, but also much weaker economic activity data CSI 300 is down three tenths of 1%, a brief look at the market, Stephen. Our top stories this morning, Bloomberg has learned that the UK is to relax bank ring fencing rules as part of efforts to deregulate the City of London. Ring fencing was the UK's response to the 2008 global financial crisis it requires banks to separate their retail services from their investment banking activities, but our UK correspondent Uzi burden says removing it will come with risks. You're not going to get a Big Bang on the scale of Margaret Thatcher's 30 years ago because you can't deregulate on that scale in one day. And, of course, it comes with risks, so you have to ask, what would replace the ring fence to protect consumers through the recession? Would it be something like higher capital requirements? That would have yet to find out. Lizzie Burton says the government believes the changes will allow capital trapped by the ring fence to be released over time. Now prices in UK shops are rising at the fastest pace since at least 2005 as Britain's battle a growing cost of living crisis in the run up to Christmas, the British retail consortium said that shop price inflation accelerated to 7.4% in November, The Economist Harvey Dylan has says that people shouldn't feel like Christmas is now canceled. I think we could perhaps call it Christmas light. So there will still be lights best of cheer, food, drink, however it's going to be kind of toned down compared to perhaps pre-pandemic. So Harvey Dillon, there, well, he says that food price rises of surge now to 12.4% year on year for the month, meet eggs dairy and coffee will see in big jumps. The Bank of England believes that inflation in the UK has now peaked though, but it is forecasting for it to remain elevated throughout the next year. The Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey says the UK government bond market is still suffering from the events of recent months, responding to questions from the economic affairs committee in the House of lords, Bailey was also asked for his view on the truss government's decision, not to ask the OBR to cost their plans. By not involving the office for budget responsibility in the process. That took away a good deal of the substance that we rely upon to go with of a budget from the point of view of forecasting and understanding the impact of measures that are being taken. And that was just not that. There was nothing. Bailey's remarks highlight the upheaval and financial markets following deal fated September mini budgets which led to Liz trust resigning as prime minister. Now in the U.S., a federal jury in Washington has convicted a leader of the right-wing group oath keepers of sedition conspiracy over the U.S. capsule right in January 2021.

Let's get to some of the events that we're watching out for later today Liang garands is back with us in studio Leon. What are you looking ahead to? Steven, good morning to you. So at 10 a.m. UK time we'll have the latest CPI reading and that will be from the Euro area, which we are watching up for. Then at one 30 p.m. we'll have some data from the U.S. including GDP and wholesale inventories, followed at 3 p.m. by the jolts job opening figures and at three 30 p.m. will have this week's EIA crude oil inventory report followed at 7 p.m. by the release of the fed's a beige book and later the fed chair Jerome Powell will be addressing the brookings institute in Washington on the economy and also on the labor market over in the U.S. and just one final thing on the political front right here at home in the UK. Rishi sunak will be facing Keir Starmer during prime minister's questions at midday. I wonder if strikes will be on the agenda, but of course we'll be watching that. Yes, we will, okay leann garen, thank you very much.

John Durham Appears to Be the WORST Prosecutor in the USA
"John Durham appears to be the worst dumbest most ineffective prosecutor in the United States. I say appearance to be because this is a guy who doesn't seem to be able to win a case. He brought democratic cybersecurity lawyer Michael sussman up before a jury. And the charges were very narrow. He accused sussman of lying, not conspiring against Trump, not being part of a larger web or circuit with the Hillary Clinton campaign. It was a very narrow accusation against sussman. And the jury goes, nah, and they acquitted sussman. And you might think, well, okay, that's sometimes happens. Juries are juries. And so here comes John Durham, now accusing a former brookings institution fellow. This is Igor danchenko of several counts of lying to the FBI. Now the lies are clearly documented and there are several of them and clearly what's going on here is that this was all part of the fake operation of cooking up the Steele dossier. By the way, danchenko was one of supposedly Christopher Steele's sources. So you have you have a kind of network here of lies, the judge throws out one of the lying charges and keeps the others and those go before a jury and the jury goes no and acquits danchenko. Wow.

"You said something very interesting before we started the show Rebecca. You talked about, well, juxtaposition, let's say, between the current threat environment and what's happening in Europe and what the federal government and Congress have been doing for the next 6 years. Those two, the last 6 years, those two things don't really match, explain why. What have we been doing that doesn't really help us today? Well, instead of really paying attention to the Russian thread or China, North Korea, the corrupt intelligence officials within the Obama administration, when current president was actually a vice president, they misdirected intelligence resources to these incredible multiple investigations, investigating the phony collusion that they themselves concocted in order to evade former president Trump from The White House. So they were focusing for four years on an aspect of Russia that didn't exist. The Russian collusion hoax. Exactly. Instead of discussing or examining why did he invade Crimea in 2000 under the Obama administration? Right. And what are his capabilities? What are his intentions? Yes. You know you worked in that environment. You know, you can focus there and you see it and tracking your intelligence targets. You read your raw intelligence, which is very, very lengthy from multiple sources you get your satellite pictures, you get your communication into sets. And then your boss runs in and said, oops, you know, we need to know what the Russians have on Trump. And you can tell them all you want that they got now they're not Trump, but you know. But a Russian asset, the brookings institution. He'll make staff up and give it to Christopher Steele, who gets money from the Clinton campaign and then the FBI gives him cover as a confidential informant and after what 20 months and I think it was 30 million spent by Robert Mueller, nothing zero. And that's a lot of money that could have been spent analyzing, I don't know, Russian intentions in Crimea.

So I just want to retread this issue because it is such a massive blockbuster in the message or to just rely upon my explication you've been covering this for 5 years now. Why is the Durham filing or the unsealing regarding Igor danchenko the Russian national who is working at the brookings institution just down the road? Why is it such a big deal? And why does it point the finger to corruption at the FBI, John? Yeah, that's an inch shows bad faith by the FBI. Let's just think about the facts that are now in evidence. The FBI knew starting in the fall of 2008 that Igor danchenko had ties to Russian intelligence agencies. They also knew he had tried to make offers of cash payments to incoming Obama administration officials to pay them cash if they would leak him secret. So he had all the hallmarks of spying of classified secret stealing. They dropped the investigation on him mistakenly thinking he had left the United States when he stayed here. That suggests the level of incompetence by the FBI. But then in 2017, when they find out he is the primary source for Christopher Steele's now completely discredited. And by the way, by the time they started to interview him in early 17, they already knew the dossier was discredited. He lies to them. He lies, I've never had contact with the Russian intelligence services. We know you're lying, okay, all right, I'm lying. And then literally that's how the conversation goes. And then he disowns most of the things that are attributed to him in the dossier. After all that happened. After all of that knowledge, the FBI decides in March of 2017 to hire him as a confidential informant to continue to pursue Russia collusion allegations against Donald Trump.

What's Driving the Increase in Firearm Sales?
"It says the spread of COVID-19, the novel coronavirus pandemic has changed the way normal life functions for America, compounding by the national protests over racial injustice and police brutality many black Americans have been advocating for the purchase of firearms to protect for protection amid the current political climate. Think about this for a minute. Black ownership of guns go up as Black Lives Matter. Go out and burn up cities. Isn't that interesting that they blame white people, but yet Black Lives Matter cause black people to get guns out of fear. Overall gun sales have been surging across the United States according to the. Brookings institution nearly 3 million firearms have been purchased since March when the public health crisis caused the shutdown of major cities across the United States of America to research also shows that since March 13 are 13th when Trump first declared that the viral outbreak was a national emergency firearm sales increased significantly over the next two weeks climbing as high as a 176,000 orders on March 16th alone.

What Is the Connection Between Paul Pelosi and John R. Allen?
"Here is a question. It's about Paul Pelosi. Charlie I'm hearing from an extremely reliable person that night that Paul Pelosi was arrested for a DUI that he had a sidearm handgun in his possession while intoxicated. It's one of the reasons that the DA is refusing to get more information on the arrest, they might drop the charges altogether. From Nate, who listens up in beautiful North Dakota. So will Paul Pelosi be charged probably not. No, he's part of the untouchable class because Nancy Pelosi is very useful. But we also had another question that emailed us freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com, Charlie, I thought, so this is based on the story of marine general John R Allen, who led U.S. and NATO force in Afghanistan and then ran the brookings institution. He has recently had his data seized by the FBI and what seems to be a soon to be indictment against him for illegally lobbying for Qatar and lobbying for their interests in Washington, D.C.. Someone asked they said Charlie sent the story that said Charlie, I thought you said these people were untouchable. Well, there is a little bit of an asterisk to that, right? So they're untouchable as long as they are useful to the regime. But our current regime, they've studied closely and intently how the Soviet Union ran their country. You see that with the show trials, you see that with the erroneous arrests, but we must understand that tyrants, when they're doing what they do best, which is evil. When they are executing their evil at their best, they must always keep the ruled and also the people around them on their toes. So if they want to actually hold on the political power, they must randomly pick off people. And keep you on your toes that think is if the sword of damocles could drop on you at any time that there must be a sense of paranoia. This is exactly why they were okay taking out Andrew Cuomo Andrew Cuomo was unusual, but they also kind of wanted to make an example. Like, hey, no one is above the rest around here. Everyone kind of worships at the altar of a couple political families, and we are the untouchables and you are not.

"USA Today according to people from the brookings institution that quoted Robert Kagan. They quoted all these military strategies talking about the new strategic goal. Do you know Eric, what the new strategic goal is in Ukraine? I'm afraid to ask, what is the new strategic goal? Quagmire. The goal is quagmire, our goal in the west, according to these foreign policy elites, should be to bog the Russians down from years like Afghanistan or our time in Vietnam to bleed Russia out, causing enormous casualties on both sides and huge civilian deaths because this will keep Russia weak and it might even lead to the overthrow of Putin. That's what our elites care about. They care about regime change in Moscow. They don't care how many Ukrainians died any more than they cared about the nursing home patients being incinerated like shelter pets in New York State.

The shift is notable and worrisome for Democrats and Biden's reelection campaign. After the 2020 election, the liberal brookings institution declared the suburbs won it for Biden.

What Is the Real Russian Problem?
"Now here's a different analysis, I would call it an historical analysis that's coming from Paul Berman, was one of the more astute students of American foreign policy. You wrote some very interesting things about Islamic radicalism, a 9 11. And he broke with kind of liberal orthodoxy. He's writing as a liberal, but as a kind of a tough minded liberal about a radical Islam. Now here's Paul Berman talking about and he says, what is the Russian problem? This is an article by the way in the magazine called foreign policy put out by the brookings institution. It's called the intellectual catastrophe of Vladimir Putin. A little bit of a misleading title because we're not actually talking about just Putin himself. We're talking about the position in which the Russian leaders find themselves. And what bartman says is that the Russians have been facing a problem for a long time. In fact, going back to the 19th century. What's the problem? Well, they have a great history. They have a great culture and a great literature. And they also have an incredibly vast country, one of the biggest countries in the world. And so one would expect that based upon Russian size and Russian past glory. And also the sophistication of Russian culture, the Russians are very good at allot of different things. From music to chess, bartman says, you would expect the Russians to have formed a kind of successful government, a stable political system to match. Or to go along with. There are other achievements, but they sort of never have. And he goes back to the 19th century to say that even under the Tsar is Russia had created this kind of medieval aristocracy, this kind of empire, but an empire based upon mass serfdom. That was technologically quite backward, even though it was culturally quite advanced.

A Troubling Trend Facing the Future of America
"Girls age 27 and 30 living in California. I can attest to the fact that the supply of quality eligible men is in short supply. Not for the lack of offers. My girls are not married. But sure would like to be. Married with kids and WK. Is that what that means? I've never seen that acronym before. I would love for their status to change, but a whole bunch of men do not have the same goals, lack ambition and are looking for either a someone to support them in every sense of the world or be a good time no more. I see that a lot. I see the feminization of the American male, where the woman, the female has to basically babysit the man, you see in this Conor? And it creates super unhappy women and also women have to become masculine, that's what college does is it creates basically tells these women, you should go succeed in the corporate world and order to do so you have to become super masculine, which also means you're going to become miserable. I mean, just the way it is. And some women, you know, end up liking it. Most women don't, honestly, and the entire kind of trajectory that we have is one that unfortunately instills weakness in men and unhappiness in women. So the brookings institution actually wrote about this. They were left wing think tank. And they talked at length about America's electoral future, the coming generational transformation. Says demographics are not destiny, but steady and predictable changes to the electorate play an important role in defining the landscape of American politics. And it talks about here that homeownership is going down. That having children is going down and marriage rates are going down. That inherently creates a more left wing society or a more Democrat society or a socialistic society when you have 33 year old women with college degrees and they're 33 years old and they don't have children and they're not married. What do you expect when all of a sudden there is a political party that comes out and says we can reappropriate the money we can redistribute the money I should say? It's rather appealing.

topic yesterday getting back to that Well just that other thing to more tomorrow so John dorm who's a special investigator looking into the collusion hoax and Hillary Clinton's role in it I don't think in a moment of just being candid with you I don't think I explained why what happened yesterday in this judicial filing this legal filing was such a big deal I basically got past that part and described what I thought Hillary was hiding in the brookings institution How I believe Hillary Clinton operative strobe Talbot Cody shear Victoria Nuland in the Obama administration as kind of a conduit I described them yesterday's podcast How Hillary Clinton and this network of people probably worked together to create this collusion oaks and now it's all coming out And I appreciate all the amazing feedback But I didn't really describe why the legal filing mattered I got a couple emails like well Dan you never really explained why you think Hillary's in trouble It's not why I think she's in trouble I don't trust the DoJ to do anything against Hillary Clinton I'm just reading you the legal file So here's what happened is a great article in my newsletter today if you want to check it out It's from just the news John Solomon's site And it says dorham zeros in on the Clinton campaign could call some aids to testify court remote memo reveals So the long and short of it is this The primary sub source for Christopher Steele the guy who's alleged to have fed the collusion hoax to Christopher Steele who fed it to another guy and another guy in another guy right The primary sub store works at the brookings institution He hired a lawyer He's been indicted Not not complicated right The legal firm he hired from is also representing members of the Clinton campaign The guy prosecuting it John dorm the special prosecutor's like no no no no there's a huge conflict of interest here And it's very simple to understand This is what I think get to in detail yesterday I should have the government saying and John dorm the prosecutor is saying no no no this is crab You guys can't use the same law firm or you shouldn't because the primary sub source who they're saying invented the Russia hoax is going to say yeah yeah Hillary Clinton put us up to it And Hillary Clinton's team is going to say about the primary subsource This guy danchenko we didn't know what he was doing He was doing that all on his own You get it It's all an effort to say sergeant Schultz I don't know nothing about nothing about nothing So Durham put a legal filing out there saying hey it's not a good idea that danchenko and the Clinton team use the same law firm And he has some quotes from the legal filing in the John Solomon piece He says here's some areas 5 areas where there may be a conflict including the Clinton campaigns quote knowledge or lack of knowledge concerning the veracity of information in the dossier created by steel with help from danchenko Yeah no kidding The Clinton campaign's gonna say oh we didn't know anything about that kind of stuff He was doing his own thing And then check was gonna say no I wasn't I was working it to be has to this guy who was paid by the Clinton campaign It's a big conflict Did you have the same lawyers and law firm representing them It goes on Here's another conflict The Clinton campaign's quote awareness or lack of awareness of the defendant's collection methods in some sources Again again going back to that they're going to say I didn't cling campaign I don't know what he was doing with some sources And danchenko's probably going to say no no they put me up to this They told me to go find information about Trump and Russia Another one Meetings are communications between the Clinton campaign fusion GPS and steel regarding or involving danchenko in the defendant's knowledge or lack of knowledge regarding the Clinton campaign's role in activities surrounding the Steele dossier Again same thing There's this conflict of interest there Now listen my experience with the clintons and Hillary specifically Is it nothing happens in the Clinton orbit Nothing Zero happens in the Clinton orbit Without the clintons knowing and strategically thinking if you listen you don't have to like the clintons God knows Ida I don't But they're not dumb They have managed magically to stay out of prison despite being in the center The center of the wheel with a bunch of spokes of God only knows how many scandals They're not stupid They know exactly how to pull the levers of power and to stay out of trouble and detach themselves But there's a reason there's not a mistake they're using the same law firm as this guy danchenko There must be something they're trying to gain leverage over Or to pressure there That's how they work She's really a terrible person Hillary Clinton I mean a genuinely awful human being You're shaking your head I know Jim I told you I'm a couple story It really bad I mean just dumb stuff too Tells a

Igor Danchenko, Analyst Who Worked With Christopher Steele on Trump Dossier, Charged in Durham Probe
"Well, perhaps the biggest news of the day is the actual arrest, not a subpoena not an indictment, the arrest by John Durham's special counsel of the key individual behind the so called Steele dossier, nobody, none better to analyze it than the legal and political analyst for Fox News. The author of the Russia hoax and witch hunt host of the brief podcast, Greg Jarrett, welcome back to America first. Hey, Sebastian, always creepy in with you. So tell us first, let's start at the beginning. Who is Igor danchenko? Well, he's the fabulist behind the discredited anti Trump CA. And he's indicted in charge with lying to the FBI not once. But 5 times on 5 different occasions way back in the infancy of president Trump's term back in 2017. The FBI knew that the dossier was phony. They knew that Christopher Steele was not credible who composed the dossier. They'd fired him for lying. And yet they used the dossier and then chanko is a pre-tax continue their probe of Donald Trump. And July, the 5 succor to continue the spy and it's really pretty stunning, then Czech who was not some mysterious Russian agent operating in the bowels of the Kremlin is Christopher Steele, the ex British spy led everyone to believe. No, the guys are researcher at a liberal think tank the brookings institution in Washington D.C. that at the time was run by a long time friend and ally as Hillary Clinton G what a coincidence. It was Clinton in her confederates who invented the Russia House, framed her opponent and disseminated the information and then chanko was key to it and it turns out not only when he was interviewed by the FBI did he debunk the whole thing, but in the process he lied about who his real sources were. Now we don't know through the indictment yet who those real sources were. I wouldn't be surprised if they were people closely connected to Hillary

Who Is Igor Danchenko?
"Let's start backwards. Last 48 hours, John Durham, who is appointed by Bill Barr, issued some indictments. One of the indictments that he issued was towards this new figure and you would know about him if you were really into this. But a guy by the name of Igor danchenko. Now Igor danchenko is supposed to be a Russian specialist. Igor danchenko is someone that formerly worked at the brookings institution a Dante is a Russian born U.S. based researcher. He worked at the brookings institution from 2005 to 2010, and he was a former official in Bill Clinton's State Department. And so danchenko's role was not really clear up until the last 48 hours. So the centerpiece of all of this, the centerpiece for the whisper campaign against Trump, the basis for to get Mueller and to spy on Trump was a document. It was a piece of work known as the dossier. The dossier was compiled by none other than former British spy Christopher Steele. But Christopher Steele compiled the dossier in what has always been a focus for those of us that have wanted to get the truth is who were his sources. Well, the main source, the main Russian source was Igor danchenko. Now, this dossier, this document, this summary, fraudulent one and fake one was then fed to the FBI and the press and was later used in fisa surveillance warrants against Trump aide Carter page, and then through surveilling Trump's pages communications, the Clinton Obama regime was able to spy on the Trump campaign.

President Biden has proposed the American families plan and as part of the plan, he is proposing $200 billion for free, Universal preschool. If past, experts say the package, which would also set aside $225 billion to make child care more affordable, would represent the largest ever American investment in child care and early education and to help us understand the long term effects of preschool. We can look to Boston back in the late nineties. Boston offered preschool to some of its Children through a lottery. And this week, researchers released a study looking at the long term effects of preschool education on those Children. Here to help us understand what they found is one of the authors of the study. I'm joined by Christopher Walters, associate professor of economics at UC Berkeley and affiliated with the Mighty School Effectiveness and Inequality Initiative. Christopher Thank you so much for being here. Hi, Sarah. Thanks so much for having me. So let's start first, with just what happened in Boston in the late 19 nineties with preschool who was involved in this what happened? Sure So, like a lot of states and localities in the U. S. Boston has a public preschool program for three and four year olds and its program. Actually, Coast goes back quite a long time. Like you said, back to the late 19 nineties. And as you alluded to a kind of interesting institutional feature of the way public preschool in Boston works is that assignment to the program actually happens partially by lottery. So parents who want their kids to attend preschool will submit their preferences over which programs they want to attend. They have some priorities based on like where they live, whether they have a sibling enrolled. And then within those groups because there aren't enough seats for all the kids that want to attend the district actually breaks ties by random lottery to decide who gets a slot. So we as researchers, we can use that to understand the impacts of the program by comparing the kids who randomly win and lose those lotteries to get seats. So researchers like yourself thought, well, this is a good opportunity to follow these Children and do a really long study. We'll get into some of the findings some of your findings in a bit, But first, can you just give us a sense? What? What did past studies on the benefits of preschool show US? Yes. So we actually have a lot of pretty encouraging evidence on the impacts of preschool from a couple of different kinds of studies. One set of studies are randomized studies kind of like what we're doing in Boston in the past, typically conducted on pretty small scales. A famous example of that is the Perry Preschool project. In the 19 sixties, which randomized a very small number of kids to an intensive, high quality preschool program, and researchers there found very large positive impacts on all kinds of outcomes. Over kids entire lives from attending preschool. And then we have studies of some bigger programs like head Start that typically come from non experimental research strategies. So comparisons of kids that attend head start to those who don't And those also tend to find positive effects. But with that, with that type of research design, your voice a bit worried, you know. Is there something else that's different between the head Start kids and the non head start kids, So our study is kind of bridging that gap. We have both a pretty big program. In Boston serving a lot of kids and also this randomized design kind of a natural experiment that comes from the assignment process that lets us get a clean estimate of what the program actually did.

"Double you see SPF in Washington Friday, the Brookings Institution hosted a virtual discussion on the pros and cons of eliminating the filibuster. Discussion included the history of the filibuster, possible reforms and the future of the Senate. Good afternoon, Everyone. Thank you for joining us for this debate on the future of the filibuster today. My name is Molly Reynolds and I am a senior fellow in the government Studies program here at the Brookings Institution. Three, begin a new presidency and see partisan control of the Senate switch. Democrats are enjoying unified party control of Washington for the first time in roughly a decade. But the prospects for action on many Democratic priorities are potentially threatened by the Senate filibuster or the effective requirement that 60 votes are needed to cut off debate. On most legislation in the chamber. We have seen the debate over whether to maintain the filibuster rule Take center stage, even these opening weeks of the new Congress. Has now Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell has threatened to prevent the new Democratic majority from organizing the chamber. Unless now majority leader Chuck Schumer promises not to use the so called nuclear option to eliminate the filibuster on legislation this Congress this debate over whether to keep or jettison the filibuster is not new, but it is especially timely. I to impact the arguments for and against reform. I've invited two colleagues to join me here today for a debate. Arguing in favor of keeping the filibuster is AB. Richard Amberg was the director of the Talman Center of Brown University, a senior fellow at the Watson Institute for International in Public Affairs. There. He spent 34 years on Capitol Hill and senior staff positions with Majority leader George Mitchell and said there's Carl Levin and Paul saw Angus I'm arguing for arguing in favor of eliminating the filibuster is that Carlos el Kara, who's an assistant professor of political science at the University of Texas at all Paso, I'm in 2019 and 2020. Carlos was an American Political Science Association congressional fellow in the office of Senator Jeff Merkley, Democratic Oregon on a longtime proponent of filibuster reform. We'll begin with opening statements from Carlos and then from rich, bald by responses from each during which each will be welcome to pose questions to the other. From there, I will offer some questions, which each will respond, and then we will turn to questions from the audience Viewers. You can submit questions for the speakers, either by emailing events at Brookings dot e. D u or via Twitter I using the handle at Brookings Institute. Um, by using the hashtag filibuster reform s So again. Thank you all for joining us and Carlos, I will ask you to begin with your opening statement. Right? Well, thank you so much. Everybody for joining us. Thank you, Molly and Brookings for putting this together and thank you rich for a great conversation that we're gonna have regarding the Future of the filibuster the way it's sort of approach in orienting myself towards this question as a political scientist is really understanding the fundamental nature of the United States Senate And to understand that nature it does. It's impossible to escape the notion that if you want to design, democratic legislatures or democratic institutions, you'd be hard pressed to design an institution today that looks like the United States Senate 100 senators representing 50 states in an institution that fundamentally distorts the value of the votes across the country. But today is not a discussion about should the Senate itself be abolished or not? Today's a discussion about what do transaction costs for legislating look like in the United States that Currently aside from nominations and legislation that can be passed with a simple majority through budget reconciliation. The Senate currently requires 60 votes, of course and vote culture and to consider a piece of legislation on the floor of the Senate. Of course, 41 senators can filibuster and they have historically Uh, stop the will of the majority toe. Consider legislation fundamentally, in the words of the East that cider. I think that fundamentally the stores responsible Cordy government and that is the ability of parties to gain majorities and to gain coalitions across multiple avenues, the presidency, the House of Representatives and the Senate to be able to legislate and to fulfill the wheel of their people, given their mandate. The filibuster ultimately allows individual senators to potentially dodge very tough votes and office gets the ability of citizens to reward or punish majorities on their bases of delivering their campaign promises. Another key tenant of what I hope that we discussed today is looking at the geographic distribution within the United States Senate I'm looking at a diversifying America. It's no secret that the Senate is skewed towards white rural interests at the expense of more diverse and urban space. And it's also not surprising that currently 50 Republican senators represent about 43% of Americans. The real question is, do we allow a minority that's increasingly out of step with the diversifying America? Vito point on legislation at given the parameters of the majority, So I'm looking forward to a discussion today on drily, looking forward to unpacking what it means about the filibuster potential cost of of repealing it. Given that no parties in the majority you know forever, and I'm really looking forward to really discussing the Senate as a whole as well. So thank you, Everybody. You have us rich already, Right? Uh, I I thought of lying my Bernie mittens today, but it was a little warm in this room, so I didn't do it. I want to thank Molly and Carlos and, uh, The audience for being with us today Look forward to this discussion of the future of the filibuster, often for gotten or dismissed is the role that expended debate. Has played in getting voice to minorities and protecting the moderating role of the Senate. In these times of extreme partisan polarization, this role is more not less important. In the U. S. Senate, no minority can be silenced for long. Views of the legislative minority. Even a minority of one can be heard and have its proposals raised and voted on the filibuster is fundamental to the protection of the minorities right to debate and offer amendments. It fosters negotiation. Moderation and compromise. While the focus is usually put on the use of the filibuster to obstruct it's the existence of the filibuster as part of the Senate Sidna that is most important when crafting legislation. All senators must consider the opposition. And they must compromise to accommodate others, interests and concerns in order to avoid a fight that stalls or even killed legislation. In the 34 years I spent in the Senate anytime I brought the legislative proposal to any one of the three senators I worked for the very first question I was asked was who's my Republican co sponsor..
