>> THANK YOU.
I WILL SAY THAT AS GUY RAISED BY
A BLACK WOMAN IN ABJECT POVERTY,
I’M THANKFUL TO BE HERE.
>> Carley: BRING IN MARIA
BARTIROMO, THANK YOU FOR JOINING
US THIS MORNING.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT
EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE SENATOR AND
JANET YELLEN?
I THINK IT CAUGHT PEOPLE BY
SURPRISE.
>> Maria: GREAT TO BE WITH YOU
AND TODD THIS MORNING.
IT IS NONSENSICAL, ABORTIONS ARE
NOT GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT SERIOUS POLICY,
LOOK AT TACK LEGISLATION OF 2017
AND THEN YOU SEE THE NEEDLE MOVE
IN TERMS OF IMPACTING THE
ECONOMY.
WHEN YOU SAW TAXES GO DOWN FOR
ALL INCOME LEVELS, YOU SAW THE
BOTTOM RANKING OF EARNERS, THE
BOTTOM OF EARNERS ACTUALLY SEE
THEIR WAGES GO UP THE MOST
RELATIVE TO THE RICH.
WHEN YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT
ACTUAL POLICY THAT IMPACTS
PEOPLE, TAKE A LOOK AT TAX
POLICY AND POLICY REGARDING OIL.
TO MAKE THE CONNECTION OF
ABORTION BEING GOOD FOR THE
ECONOMY IS MASSIVE STRETCH AND
MAKES NO SENSE.
>> Todd: I WANT TO GO BROADER ON
THIS, IF AOC SAID THIS, WHAT A
STUPID STATEMENT.
THIS IS FROM JANET YELLEN, SHE’S
RESPONSIBLE FOR SETTING ECONOMIC
POLICY FOR OUR ENTIRE NATION.
HOW CONCERNING IS THAT TO YOU?
SOMEBODY WHO UNDERSTANDS HOW
MONEY OPERATES.
>> Maria: VERY CONCERNING AND
YOU ARE HITTING ON SOMETHING
VERY IMPORTANT.
PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED WHEN JANET
YELLEN STARTED TALKING AND
SHOWING POLICY WHEN SHE BECAME
TREASURY SECRETARY.
THERE WAS A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN
JANET YELLEN’S WORK WHEN SHE WAS
FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIRMAN.
SHE GOT TO WASHINGTON TO WORK
FOR JOE BIDEN, IT APPEARED SHE
WAS MUCH MORE DIRECTED BY POLICY
AND POLITICS AND I THINK THAT
SHOWED UP THIS WEEK IN THAT
HEARING JUST THERE.
UNFORTUNATELY, MY SOURCES TELL
ME JANET YELLEN IS UNHAPPY WHERE
SHE IS AND THE ADMACHINE STRAGZ
IS UNHAPPY, AS WELL.
I SUSPECT IN THE NEXT ERA OF JOE
BIDEN IF HE WERE TO RUN, WHICH
WOULD BE A SHOCKER TO ME, THERE
WOULD BE A DIFFERENT TREASURY
SECRETARY.
>> Carley: YESTERDAY THE HOUSE
APPROVED FEDERAL AID PACKAGE, IT
FAILED THROUGH 368-57, WHAT
STANDS OUT ABOUT THAT NUMBER IN
THIS PACKAGE?
>> Maria: I THINK THE REASON IT
PASSED IS BECAUSE IT WASN’T AS
MUCH SPENDING ON OTHER THINGS
THAT THE REPUBLICANS HAD
COMPLAINED ABOUT.
LOOK, WE’RE ALL WATCHING THE
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION IN UKRAINE
AND WATCHING PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY
BEG FOR WEAPONRY.
I THINK THERE IS A GOOD PORTION
OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DO WHAT WE
CAN TO HELP UKRAINE.
WE SAW DEMOCRATS TRY TO STUFF IN
HERE AS MUCH AS THEY COULD TO
CONTINUE SPENDING MORE MONEY.
OF COURSE THAT SPEND SUGGEST
WHAT GOT US HERE AT 40-YEAR HIGH
INFLATION.
"NEW YORK POST" SAID IT WELL
WHEN THEY SAID MALARKEY ON JOE
BIDEN, IT WAS IN THE PRESS
CONFERENCE, HE SAID HE WANTED TO
GET AHEAD OF INFLATION AND HE
HAD A PLAN.
WHAT HE GAVE US WAS SAME OLD
SOLUTION, MORE MONEY SPENT ON
GREEN ENERGY AND SPENT ON HIS
BUILD BACK BETTER SOLUTION.
CHERYL CASONE WAS SPECULATING
WHY WOULD HE GET OUT, MAYBE THEY
KNOW SOMETHING WE DON’T. MOST
ACADEMYISTS EXPECT APRIL NUMBERS
TO COME IN LOWER THAN MARCH.
WHAT THEY WANT TO DO IS MAKE
PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT JOE BIDEN
HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE
FACT WE’LL GET A LOWER READING
FOR APRIL THAN IN MARCH.
IT IS STILL ABOVE 8% AND
ELEVATED INFLATION ABOVE 8% IS A
PROBLEM FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES.
>> Todd: WATCH MARIA ON FOX
BUSINESS.
THANK YOU.
>> Maria: TODAY WE HAVE ALL
HANDS ON DECK, CONSUMER PRICE
INDEX IS OUT AT 8:30 A.M. AND WE
HAVE FORMER FED PRESIDENT AND WE
ARE DISCUSSING GROCERIES TO TAKE
A LOOK AT CONSUMER PRICES THIS
