Outreach department inside the white house. I think its an Intergovernmental Agency outreach, scott, where we will be talking to state and local governments. Its a business outreach, businesses large and small. Trade associations, but i think we want to do is we want to execute a plan out of that office where people feel that they have a friend and advocate inside the white house that will help them. The cornerstone and the prism that were going to look through everything through i should say more appropriately, is small businesses, middle class families, working class people. What can we do from the administration to help those people in the United States with wages, opportunity, retake the aspirational side of being in a working class like, you know, our parents were. People have likened your role to what Valerie Jarrett is doing for president obama. You have even used that same terminology. Youre going to meet with her, in fact, today. I think what i said last week when the role lea
Demeaning process. And very demeaning on the other side. And they want to make you look as bad as possible. And of course the press can be very demeaning, too. But im sure the press will be very dignified in this case. Thats the word. I think hes a very dignified man. Id like to see him go through a dignified process. I think he deserves that. Hopefully it will go quickly. And well see what happens. So what we might do is just that, we might ask for the folks in the room just to give yourself a quick, your name and a little introduction. And, wayne, i would say they know you, perhaps they know you better than they know me. I doubt that. Wayne, national association. Nance, ceo and president of concerned women for america.

Thats right, carl. President trump tweeting from his handle realdonaldtrump my daughter, ivanka, has been treated so unfairly by nordstrom. She is a great person, always pushing me to do the right thing. Terrible this is in response to nordstrom saying that they have pulled their merchandise, as every year, at 10 of the goods they sell and make decisions based on what is selling and what is not. Some read that as the impact of the boycott on donald trump and trump merchandise at a variety of retailers. That news came in the middle of last week. So, in some ways, its a bit surprising its taken the president this long to say anything, if he has at least chosen to Say Something at this point. Shares of nordstrom did fall initially and they have responded, sitting right about unchanged at this point. Carl . Courtney, were going to watch that, see if it hangs in there. Thank you very much. Spencer rascoff, i know we want to get to immigration and certainly your earnings, but how do you thin

Im not going to tell you the physical circumstances upon which i bout it but you though them. Heres thank god. Yeah. Heres why i bought it. I was a little bored this morning. I said what can i do to screw around with jim, im going to buy apple. When youve seen the cycle happen time and time again, the time to get onboard that cycle compresses and actually moves earlier. What im talking about of course is the upgrade to the anniversary phone, the iphone 8. So whats going on now, its not reflective of the fundamentals of the company. Its not reflective of the gee you political of the landscape. The first is mode oaker and the second, f
Different billion dollar climate events. Combine these events, costs the economy over 200 billion. And lest we think this is an aberration, its important to remember the number and the cost of these events has doubled over the last decade and has increased eight fold over the last 30 years. And so Climate Change events are taking a toll on our economy and theyre expected to become more and more intense Going Forward. And so my question for you is, to what extent does fed take into account the impacts of Climate Change in assessing our National Economic outlook and future Economic Risks . So in Monetary Policy making our focus is on trying to achieve a strong labor market and price stability. And our forecasts usually go out a few years. But not over the decades in which Climate Change plays a role in changing, affecting the Economic Outlook. And sometimes a hurricane or a drought can have some of which may be related to Climate Change, but also other factors, may have a significant Eco
