| 0:00.0 | This is CBS High in the World. I'm John Bathser, the meeting of the Federal Reserve Board |
| 0:09.7 | in February. Conversations now revealed. The quote, almost all participants agreed that |
| 0:16.0 | it was appropriate to raise the target range of the Federal Fund's rate 25 basis points. |
| 0:21.8 | I welcome Veronique de Rige of the Mercata Center, my guide on monetary policy, this last year |
| 0:28.7 | and more of anxiety about the interest rates because of the inflation rate. The short version |
| 0:36.3 | of this is inflation's out of control. The Federal Reserve must move very quickly to Taiman, |

| 1:51.3 | big, big scary talk of the final rate being higher, much higher than anticipated and standing firm. |
| 2:01.0 | And I think I would favor actually going higher than 025. But |
| 2:07.2 | The short version also of this is they're going to continue raising rates until something blows up to you. |
| 2:13.4 | Subscribe to that opinion of how rate and how rate hikes and something is damaged. |
| 2:19.9 | How something is damaged? How? A bank blows up or the long term capital of 98. |
