annmarie: it's an incredibly busy day.ymyr zelenskyy is the first time he has left ukraine since russia's invasion on february 24. he's just on the block from where standing at blair house. in about 10 minutes, he will motorcade to the south lawn and he will meet the president and they will have a bilateral in the oval office. they will have more bilaterals before he will talk to the press in a joint press conference over at congress. what we expect the admin's ration to announce as part of that a will be something ukrainians have been asking for. this is the patriot defense missile system. we are waiting on details. we know that ukrainians will be the ones trained on it and operated and trained outside ukraine. this is something zelenskyy has been asking for, especially since over the last few weeks we have seen an absolute barrage of missiles and drones, notably from iran, on ukraini -- on ukraine. access to heat, energy, clean water, and all of this before critical winter months take hold. kriti: you mentioned the patri

annmarie: yes and we are going to your house.athan: there is a viewing party and tk is upset he didn't get the invite. lisa: he is celebrate his birthday so we will tell him that. jonathan: we will do they wishes next. annmarie: i hope he is in paris. jonathan: i continue he is not. good to catch up. going into a defining week next week, the federal reserve decision around the corner. yields unchanged on a 10 year. euro-dollar 1.0552. up on the session and down on the week. crude up and down on the year, this is ridiculous, 71.89, positive .6%. a monster gap opened up between what the commodity is doing, oil, and what the equities are doing. energy names flying and one from j.p. morgan saying it is a short-term sell and he is selling energy. lisa: i wonder if the u.s. government will be buying. i don't know. jonathan: freya beamish is up next. ♪ jonathan: that woody market on the s&p 500 heading for its biggest week going back to the start of november. equities positive, a .3%. the nasdaq 100 up .5%. twos, tense, 30's, two-year d

annmarie: $60 a barrel for russian crude.you are a buyer in this market, say india, and you want to buy russian crude, you can only buy if it is under $60 a barrel. why this is so important is because in the russian sanctions package, they said these companies that have to do with shipping and insurers, and the main block of that have huge amounts of these companies, especially countries like reese, cyprus, malta, so if you want -- greece, cyprus, malta, so if you want to access to get crude out of russia, you have to abide by this cap. russia is saying you cannot deal with any with these cap are this is where it will get interesting, because right now, in very common grade of russian oil is trading around $50 a barrel. so russia is going to be very much so on the lower end of this cap where they are trading now. in the contracts, our country is going to say we abide by this cap? this is where it will be interesting, because russia says they will not sell to anyone who signs up to the west's cap. jonathan: how do you think ch

annmarie: not really.s to stem from the chips act, which had a lot of republicans sign up for and wanted to see that pushed through. this is a win for arizona, for the jobs in manufacturing that is going to come, but also in the sense that when you look at how america was dealing with debt of the pandemic, still reeling from supply chain issues, the fact that so much of the semi conductors are coming out of taiwan. this is going to give the u.s. a little bit of leverage, but we should put a little bit into context. the wafers, the semi conductors, the amount that will be coming out of these two plants. remember, one is about to be operational. the other one that they are going to break ground on is about 4% of the global supply. so it is still minuscule when you look at what taiwan is producing. from a national security perspective, from a buy and make in america perspective, this is a win for democrats and republicans. lisa: do we have the workers to fill these factories? annmarie: that is a great questio

annmarie hordern joining us now.us about the context of this and what is happening with the ongoing prisoners, in particular with paul whelan. the president striking a joyous tone in the beginning, he is excited and success for them to be able to bring brittney griner home. there has been pressure on the administration. we know they have been talking to the russians and they gave them a trade swap idea in the summer. obviously, the president trying to make sure he hammers home he is not forgotten about paul whelan. paul whelen is sent to 16 years, he has been in jail for about four years. he is a former u.s. marine. the president said, we have not forgotten about him. or totally illegitimate reasons, russia is treating paul's case different than whitney's. while we have not succeeded in securing paul's release, we will not give up. what u.s. officials are telling us, with the russians it was either greiner or no one and that is when the president made the decision to bring written greiner home. lisa: thank you so muc

annmarie: it is a good question.aybe they will start praying but i imagine for the administration, especially when you have david solomon on tv saying it looks bumpy, they might wait and see if they can buy at a more opportune by -- price. this is a good place for them to be. but if oil prices are going to go lower, they are going to wait for as low as they can go. tom: time for is surveillance correction. yesterday around 3:30 afternoon, i finally realized what young jonathan ferro told me for years. the camera came in. the smallness of a goal in a penalty shots. it is only 11 meters, 12 yards. i think a lot of idiots americans like me think you are shooting at this time performance goal and goooall and you are not. jonathan: if you missed the first shot, the goal gets even smaller as the stakes get higher. maria, time for some exclusive analysis. what's happened to spain yesterday? maria: this is very emotional for me. there are three things i want to say. first of all, in football like in life, you have to seal th

annmarie: you answered your own question. on one hand it is a win.ngress to act urgently and they did that. they are avoiding a rial strike take -- rail strike that could be devastating to the economy. it is a tricky moment for the president who wants to be and claims he is the most prolabor union president in modern times. the fact of the matter is, he got involved in negotiations in september and not all the unions were able to sign off on the deal that him and the administration worked on. they are forcing the labor unions to accept this deal. that is not very prounion. that will dent his damage with these individuals. alix: all those things, yes. he also did some fancy footwork yesterday with president micron. -- macron. what was your biggest take away when it comes to energy initiatives and when it comes to ukraine? annmarie: on the energy front it comes down to the inflation reduction act. there was a lot of fiery words and rhetoric going into this meeting from emmanuel macron sitting down with abc news, saying it is unfriendly. i see the presi

: annmarie:?does but any direct influence from the united states and the west you rain is a direct escalation. that is a risk and just last week, we heard from vladimir putin yen. he signaled there wouldn't be more conscription's of the 300,000 he already called up which would agitate his society with a massive brain drain. individuals are fleeing russia but he also mentions nuclear. this is something he continues to fall back on. lisa: the nato secretary-general said the risk of a full-blown war is rising and it cannot be ruled out. he said it's a real possibility. how is your preparing for this in addition to increasing some of the budgets of the military but also preparing for a strategy? will this escalation lead to this possibility? annmarie: the escalation was forefront when president biden was at the g20 and he had a quick meeting and arranged as the missile landed on the polish side of the ukrainian polish border. it became a real scenario for many individuals about how the work and spread

annmarie: it's a good question.n't normally have these moments where it is down to the wire, in essence that the strike will happen if this agreement is not in place and congress does not act. as you said, tom, this is something of another era. this will happen potentially on december 9. issue you have now is companies are actually starting to shift things around, not putting them on railroads, because there is concerned this is going to come to a stop, especially when you think of issues like hazardous material that comes from refineries and go on railroads. these kinds of materials, these products, cannot get that stuck. lisa: in the meantime, president biden is eating in washington, d.c., sharing a 100 $20 seafood tower with emmanuel macron last night. is there any sense of how things are going? annmarie: you can ask jonathan what he thinks about that washington, because i took him there one time when he visited washington. lisa: [laughter] annmarie: we know tom that you only go to the chili bowl. it was all smil

annmarie: definitely.ors about brian deese, you ask him directly and he didn't want to answer. these are awkward moments for these individuals where they decide what to do next and there was an axios report that potentially ron klain would be another one to go, especially given where the president is. a time for him to need -- leave the president in good shape. following gas prices, -- falling gas prices, no red wave. potentially it's his moment to leave. they say that you should leave your job at the peak status and this could be that moment for him. but with biden he really likes to keep his staff with him. it's very difficult for people to leave the biden family. jonathan: but these jobs are exhausting. tell tom never to miss a world cup viewing party at my house ever again. annmarie: ever again, so much fun and you really get the kind of insight of what kind of soccer dad john is going to be. tom: that's scheduled in. annmarie: press on, lads. tom: lads. tom:you mentioned a mission. jonathan: never min

annmarie: they'll want to see a grilling of this individual.dliness not from lawmakers but the media about this individual. you had representative maxine waters and come out and denied a report that they would not subpoena him. if he does not come on his own, we will send out subpoenas. there has been a lot of criticism to these democratic lawmakers because he has been a huge donor and there is a huge lobbying group for the crypto market itself. guy: a final question, vladimir putin saying they will announce its response to the price cap, what you think it will be? annmarie: he said russia will not sell to countries that obey the price cap. what is more interesting in terms of russia's production, they may cut oil production, that is exactly something he wants. guy: thank indeed. a quick look at european equities. the pound is out 1.22 three. telecom italia and has had a good day as well. erik nielsen joins us next. ♪ guy: friday, the ninth of december, european equities higher, london underperforms. energy lower. the countdown to the close sta

annmarie: they say they are not encouraging this.his is not something they want, but there is the washington journal report out that they had amended the range of those high margins. we also know the united states has not gone to the next level in sending even longer-range missiles. this is something they really want today. they want to make sure that while, yes, they are helping ukraine, sending tens of billions of dollars, making sure they are getting weapons. also, i saw a headline about estonia. united states will be helping and sending high marks there. yet, at the same time, they want to make sure they keep the centralized. they do not want this escalating, because once you have more of these missiles potentially going into russia, that is a writer risk of western countries, i.e. the united states and nato, getting involved in this war. putin said yesterday he expects us to be lengthen. jonathon: the president has done a pretty decent job of keeping on the outside. i think a lot of people are congratulating him on that drought

annmarie hordern briefs us.y are not going to get abrams tanks, they are too fancy and complex, but what are they going to get? and does europe have mr. biden's back? annmarie: it is clear that europe has mr. biden's back, but this president is the one at the center of keeping this alliance strong and steadfast. it is the reason why president zelenskyy was in washington to see and not in berlin, paris, or brussels. because washington is the only place to make sure that ukraine will continue to get everything needs. the big thing and take away is that the patriot ms. sill -- missile system. there is tension in the press conference because he says what you ask for and ask -- next and zelenskyy joked another patriot missile. the biggest tech away whether it was a press conference or the speech at the joint session of congress is the fact that it was thank you so much and we are very gracious but we need more. tom: i spoke of tangible military experience and he was heated, do not prosecute a winter war. with this su

annmarie: russia has continuously said that everything the u.s. is doing is basically meaning the u.s. as part of this war given the fact that they have been the biggest factor in terms of age and given the fact they had cut off russia for money and access to technology, to a number of sanctions including russian individuals. there was another list last week of those. russia already thinks the u.s. is involved in this. i'm not sure the patriot missile system, given the fact that so much of it is defensive, will move the needle for the kremlin. we did hear again from pruden today who spoke to a defense board and he says he wants to make sure they are supporting the nuclear facilities they have in russia. maybe potentially, you will hear more of this rhetoric coming out of the kremlin. alix: thanks a lot and great reporting. we will bring you full coverage at 4:30 p.m. today when president biden hosts a news conference with president zelenskyy. there is also the story of sam bankman-fried who will be exit -- who will be expedited -- extradited to th

annmarie: this is incredibly significant.is leaving a war zone, he was just in a central area of fighting just yesterday. he was handed a ukrainian flag by the soldiers and he alluded to his troops and many didn't see it saying he is going to pass this on to u.s. congress and the president of the united states. it is coming at a critical time because of the weather. ukraine officials have been telling the press they believe as soon as january or march that russia will attempt a fresh take on kyiv, especially from belarus , this on the heels of president putin being in minsk. this is zelenskyy's appeal in a joint congress -- to republicans taking over the house who have said they do not want a blank check in terms of finding to ukraine. lisa: we are hearing from xi jinping meeting with medvedev of russia urging for talks and peace. how does the u.s. give aid to ukraine without assuming like they are moving away from that kind of reconciliation and being more antagonistic than defensive? annmarie: the u.s. assets constantly not

annmarie: as well as the potential for insurrection so they'll would be a number of referrals and itl be the first time that it is the criminal referral. a criminal prosecution will be recommended. this is just a recommendation according to reporting. that means that it doesn't have the full weight being held in a court of law and potentially that's where the baton gets picked up at what it does is it impacts the former president as he deals with a number of issues as he's trying to make this bid for the white house especially after the midterm elections were most of his candidates did not perform well and there wasn't a red wave. his polls really starting to suffer. guy: when it comes to insurrection, would this preclude him from being president. annmarie: there is language in the 14th amendment if you are present or member of congress and you take this oath and it bars you if it's said you were part of an insurrection from holding higher office. --. this could make that path to the white house much more difficult but it's really a slew of issues that this could just add to for the

annmarie: i don't think tom gets his news from tiktok.arned about this, saying if the chinese government wanted to, they could really start to track and influence also what videos individuals are being seen and that is concerning for an administration, for a government especially when you have that amount of young adults getting their news from it. this is just a moment for elon musk of twitter, or zuckerberg on instagram. because they could potentially be the one to profit. tom: you are living this, bramo. lisa: does it bother you, i say to the kids, that china could influence what you see? there's a belief, we have discretion, we can weed out that correct versus not correct. jonathan: going to better schools and teach about the dangers -- that is what is going to happen. rip up the curriculum and start again, the dangers of communism. lisa: [laughter] jonathan: two hours away from the opening in new york city. -.9%. on the nasdaq down 1.2%. we have had a rate hike of 50 basis points. i want to talk about the bond market briefly. yesterd

annmarie: it's already been happening.f lawmakers that have taken money from sam bankman-fried since the collapse of this in early november donating the money back to a number of charitable organizations whether it's $2000 or $12,000, they want to make sure that they say their hands are nina didn't realize this was potentially fraudulent. they want to give the money back. sonali and i have been talking about the other side of this, his deputy, number two, he was giving a ton of money to the other side, to republican so you will have republicans come out that took him his number two who is not getting all the headlines right now and they will probably give that money back. altogether, these two individuals gave more than $16 million. lisa: the larger question is about whether the touch has been overly light when it comes to the space weather is political donations or whether to not stifle innovation in the face of money sloshing around the system. how much criticism our congress members coming under for a lack of a harsh ap

. ♪ annmarie: -- jon: touring our attention to the goldman sachs conference where sonali basak is standingy with cfo at american express jeffrey campbell. sonali: from amex's perspective, how do you see it never getting a potential recession? jeff: thank you for having me. what we know is what we see in our business. our business is a mixture of very premium consumers around the globe, a select group of small businesses around the globe and in some of the largest corporations around the globe here when you look at the spending patterns and credit patterns of our base, things continue to look very strong. had 24% volume growth in the third quarter and it has continued through october and november. we had record days in recent days, so we see a strong environment. i do watch bloomberg tv and i hear the word recession a lot and we are not oblivious to the challenges and the geopolitical environment, but when you look at the particular slice of business we operate, it continues to look strong. we know how to pivot the business and certainly the pandemic was a road test of how you quickly pivot

tom: annmarie hordern torrance joins us, what is the best outcome?is is in the need to have but it's a nice to have when it comes to the advanced ability on committees and make sure they are getting their individuals and candidates through. you have to look at 2024, he expects the president make an announcement to run. 2024, the republicans have to defend 10 seats as opposed to the democrats 24. it will be crucial to have this seat for the next six years. lisa: you mentioned john mclean potentially announcing his run. is there any pushback for him to anoint as successor even where he is in the polls and where he is in his career? >> coming off the midterm election he has abused. they lost the house but it was slim. this keeps republicans and check and they will have to work in a bipartisan way. this was the better outcome for the president which is why he feels that he has this momentum to be able to run. president trump already announced his intention to run. likely, he will continue his mantra going into 2024. people in the democratic party, he is

annmarie hordern joins us from d.c.. were also joined from warsaw ira bureau chief. i wonder the kind of reception that the ukrainian president will get in d.c. today. how warm will it be, how uniform will it be. >> i think it will be incredibly warm. his first stop will be at the white house when he arrives on the south lawn, that's the first time we get a glimpse of him and you're talking about the visuals. what is he going to wear will be so important. not to mention 24 hours ago he was at the center point of fighting in that city and he's coming at a time his countries facing a fresh barrage of missiles. they're going into the winter months. you see pruden weaponizing the winter, ukrainian officials have been saying for weeks as they are concerned about a renewed aggression potentially from belarus coming for tf. so he is going to get a warm reception from this white house is president biden will announce fresh aid, patriot missile system and a pretty warm response barring a few individuals which we've already seen have been a little bit rude and disparaging abou

joining us from washington is annmarie hordern.ough what happened. >> the president announced the release, she has been in russian custody since february because she had vague cartridges with less than a gram of cannabis oil and then in november most recently she was sent to a penal colony outside of moscow. the united states is put a ton of pressure to bring her home. there's been a lot of reports leading up to this about a swap deal. really though the takeaway from today, he spoke to brittney griner she is on the way home. obviously there's a lot of questions about what happens to paul welland. the president said this was not a matter of which american to bring home. officials have said it was either her or no one. the welland, he is sentenced to 16 years in prison in russia and is still behind bars. for her, the swap is with who is not -- a man serving a 25 year sentence in the united states. >> the exchange took place in abu dhabi. what role did the uae play in this? >> the exchange took place in abu dhabi, they were likely not

annmarie: we are closer to the u.s.ng that now as opposed to a few months ago but i there is still too many unknowns and you still have wti trading above $70 per barrel. when it gets closer to 60's when you can see the u.s. have real impetus to fill out the spr. the unknowns are huge. we need to find out what's going on with demand in china in terms of covid zero. potentially the saudi arabia meeting couldn't shed light on that. we also have a huge geopolitical risk that could change prices in a matter of moments. that's not just russia's war in ukraine but it's also issues going on and potential in iran which is digging in its heels as it has protests continuing. there are number of unknowns for this administration to go out and buy oil but they have to be closer to 60. jonathan: great coverage from d.c. equities are rolling over a little bit. a bit softer in the last 10 minutes or so. lisa: after the dire projections yesterday talking about a downturn, they have not been the best prognosticators. jamie dimon was talki

annmarie: this definitely has the rebuke of beijing early this morning, when they are looking throughnd reading the press about this bill that is going to be passed. there are two things we should know. one, yes, they want more arms going to taiwan. we also have the secretary of defense talking with his australian counterparts, that they want to boost military presence from the united states. this is because of a more aggressive china because of taiwan. but one thing regarding taiwan that the language was doll back was the fact of whether or not they were going to make taiwan a major non-nato ally. that came at the bidding of the biden administration to commerce. you can see that they want to make sure they do have a path of foreign-policy and working with china, especially off the heels of this meeting, which really broke the glass in terms of allowing some conversation between beijing and washington. we were talking about the fact that this relationship was one of the worst it has been in months or years after speaker pelosi's visit to taiwan. the second thing, just quickly as well,

south bend, indiana, and mary is on the -- annmarie is on the .aller: yes, i don't think we should send more money. there are people starving. they cannot even pay for the conflict no more. you mean to tell me you have money to send overseas, but you ain't got no money to pay for the people here? so, you telling me you have got money to send over there, but people over here -- and i am a democrat. we need to get biden out of there. you trade that men for a basketball star and putin immediately back on the battlefield, and you are going to get let all those weapons over there? we need to getbiden's butt out of there. thank you. host: in a news conference yesterday, the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskyy, was asked if he had a message for the russian president, vladimir putin. [video clip] >> i am standing here in the united states with president biden on the same podium because i respect him as a person, as a president, and for his position. and for me, this is an historic moment. i can send messages to president biden. for example, if it sta

tom: annmarie joins us from washington. we have more on the bank of japan. i want to go were john. he is leaving early for england because of strikes. here we are in america with nurses on strike, they are in strike in england. tell me about the presidents approach to labor, nurses, strikes? annamarie: we have been on display over the course of the past few months. the president wanted to make sure he hammered out this deal. he wanted to be the most prolabor president in history. he really makes that point across when he brings individuals from the labor unions through press conferences. he was able to strike a deal on the railroads, not all of the union signed up. the white house and congress forced them to accept this deal. that meant that these individuals could not strike. the heart of it was access to health care. the president has been working for all americans at large. as opposed to the u.k., where i did live at one point, having strikes for the metro, it is not exactly uncommon. it would be incredibly uncommon in the united states. tom: the united kingdom nurses strike app
