7:02 pm
thank you for joining as we start with the efforts to contain the fallout after the collapse of silicon valley bank, the biggest u. s. bank failures since the 2008 global financial crisis for as in joe biden, has tried to reassure americans at the countries banking system is safe. us financial authorities have taken control of silicon valley. bank biden says customers and taxpayers won't bear any losses, but those at the top he says will face consequences. management of these banks will be fired if the bank is taken over by f d. i see the people running the bank should not work there anymore. 3rd, investors in the banks will not be protected. they knowingly took a risk, and when the risk didn't pay off, investors lose their money. that's how capitalism works. in a moment we'll be speaking to christine christine, fellow meals on wall street for us on how the markets are reacting there. but for
7:03 pm
us we go to our white house correspondent, kimberly hock it. kimberly some significant moves by the biden administration to restore confidence in america's banking system. tell us more about what president biden had to say. yeah, the u. s. president really trying to reassure, not just the american public, but the broader financial system in the u. s. and abroad that the american banking system was safe and he did so in a number of ways, not only letting people know that they can access their money, but also making sure that it was clear to everyone that those responsible for the failure of the silicon valley bank would be held to account now the u. s. president saying that there are going to be further actions taken through the u. s. congress to strengthen to make sure this will never happen again through regulation, but also making sure that people understand that it's the american taxpayer that will not be footing the bill for this. and that is a really important point because what happens in the united states is that deposits
7:04 pm
in banks are insured up to $250000.00. but through a loophole they have triggered a, an emergency measure that allows for deposits beyond that to be protected in this case . but so what tax parents are worried about is that they'd be paying the bill. but what we understand is that will not be the case. what banks have been doing is contributing on a quarterly basis to an emergency fund. that's what we'll be covering these, these, these losses in this case. and also we know that the assets of silicon valley bank will be sold to cover these as well. so the u. s. president, getting out in front of this message, letting the american taxpayers know that, unlike back in 2008, when taxpayers footed the bill this time, it is different. thank you for that. kimberly. how can live there in washington? that's crossover to kristen salumi now was at the new york stock exchange, where this weeks trading has begun. markets opened with islam. christian,
7:05 pm
but we're already seeing a rebound. yeah, it's been a very volatile day. the markets been up and down. the broad market is in the positive on the major indices trading higher, but bank stocks financial stocks continue to get hit pretty hard. the big names that you know like chase j. p. morgan chase city bank, bank of america have been down for most of the day, but they've come off their lows. the nasdaq k, b w, index of commercial banks was down 8 percent at mid day. that's better than the 13 percent earlier in the day. the regional banks, banks that you may not know by name are the ones that seemed to be really struggling, led by one called 1st republic. that was down as much as 70 percent. that prompted the stock exchange to stop trading of some of these more volatile stocks, which were plunging and heading for
7:06 pm
a route diet over all things seemed to be improving a little bit on the market, stabilizing a bit. but obviously investors are very concerned about what this means for the long term solvency of these banks and for their investments in them. because as we just heard from our president joe biden, while the government says it will protect depositors who have money in these banks . investors have no such protections and could see significant losses of this trend continues. christian, thank you for that update. kristen sent me life for us at the new york stock exchange. now i spoke to stand the vulgar who's a senior fellow at the american enterprise institute, and he explained why silicon valley bank was vulnerable. a lot of its customers aren't tack, and of course that's been going through a rough patch and so that they took a hit on the, on the acid side there. then they had massive exposure to long term treasury, which they had decided not to hedge because they,
7:07 pm
they didn't have to under the regulatory framework the under. so that then combined with concerns late last week about their solvency. and that's really why all came together at once. people suddenly started paying attention to this week for mentals . and then, you know, once you see that other people may be pulling out a deposit, you want to be 1st rate because you want to do it before the bank goes on there. and so i think that, you know, it happens slowly and then all at once as they, as they say, i think the deterioration in the banks fundamentals have been building up for a while. some people had pointed out late last year. and, you know, then once the panic arrives, it can go very quickly. and avenue us present. joe biden has approved a major oil and gas rating project in alaska, known as the widow project. the $8000000000.00 plan led by oral giant, conical philip faced strong opposition for from climate activists. she returns, he joins his line from washington for more. and so she tell us 1st, what exactly has been approved here. this massive project will be

7:09 pm
because he would be the 1st president to take climate change. seriously no drilling on federal land period. he said fame. famously, he's already broken that promise. he's already actually, his administration is approved more oil and gas drilling permits, and the trump administration did in its 1st 2 years in office. but this was a massive, massive project, which, i mean, there's the statistics are astonishing that 280000000 metric tons of carbon emissions over the lifetime. that's the equivalent to putting $2000000.00 more cars on the road each year. but just simply approving 70 new coal fired power stations. in fact, the center for american progress said that the emissions there will be more results from this project will entirely wipe out all of the clean energy the renewable energy projects on the federal. now the bite is improved in order to reduce emissions by 2030 by double. so he's completely wiped out all the radically,
