Suspicion for me. it is speculative, but if the president is willing to be so loose-lipped like we ve heard mnuchin opine on that he thinks there will be bullish markets ahead, it raises the yquestion, does the president understand the sensitivity around this information, and i may have mentioned before i reached out to the sec, and said what s up with this, and they said no comment. dom, jarod, thank you both so much. it is right there, a good day in the markets. president trump, he s hinted that he s going to pardon more convicted criminals. no, i am not talking about the prison reform initiative. jared kushner has been pushing. not talking about kim kardashian s visit to the white house. i m talking martha stewart and the former illinois governor. many say the president s moves are sending a signal to some people right now who are under investigation. a signal that the president is saying i got your back. ....
This interconnected world of trade and commerce, if other countries start to kind of feel that as well, it could lead to a downward spiral. that s maybe not a good thing for the global economy. jarod, what s holding up wages? the unemployment numbers are very good. they didn t start yesterday we have been on this path for quite some time. but for the last year and a half, at least, we ve been saying and wages. they re going to start to tick up, because as the job market tightens, you ve got to pay more for workers, but it s not happening. why? first, there was a little bit of a tick up for middle wage workers. the pace of wage growth went from 2.6% in the previous report to 2.8 % year over year. that s a bump. that s kind of what we would expect in this economy. i grant you that s not as fast as we like it, but it s movement in the right direction. there are three constraints on wage growth right now. one is that productivity is pretty low. that means in order for firms to ....
Clearance was handled by the book. happened in the normal course. happened the way it happens for thousands of people. goes to initially the bureau. as a background investigation. it gets through various agencies and gets to the white house. there is a special office that does security measures. they are all career people. kushner had been working off an interim security clearance as he pursued foreign policy issues on behalf of the president. in february the interim clearance was downgraded after chief of staff john kelly issued new rules, and the security investigation had not been completed. with the russian investigation looming, the clearance became a major media story. is jared kushner becoming a distraction? jarod is a valued member of the administration and he s going to continue to focus on the work that he has been doing. we are going to continue pushing forward. ....
Jarod to do the deal for 666 fifth avenue, trying to take some of the heat off his son. seems like a normal fatherly thing to do, but is that in its own way some sort of tell that there s some concern that there s too much heat on his son? perhaps, nicole. i don t know what charles kushner s motivation was there. the deal surrounding that building on fifth avenue in new york has been under scrutiny in the media and by investigators and has been a potential liability for jared kushner who remains senior adviser in the white house. so clearly the father, charles kushner is taking some responsibility for that deal. even though it was executed at a time when jared kushner was running the kushner company s real estate empire. obviously jared kushner s interactions with foreign leaders under heavy scrutiny by the mueller probe. we don t know if it is by other jurisdictions as well. the word i hear is that the kids have gone underground. what do you hear about what ....
