boris epshteyn here with me on the set in new york city. -- let me start with you. i want to take a look, show you what joanne reed, managing editor of the grio. this is what she wrote in an opinion piece this week. sheer an excerpt. perhaps as he tends to family business, jackson can find a way to be central in the national conversation again, and to restore what has been among the most important black family pedigrees in this country. would you agree that jesse jackson sr.'s current hardship makes it harder for the jackson family to reclaim its political and activist power position? >> oh, i don't think so at all. this is one person and one person's career. and he, after he gets better may very well have a second act. but the family itself has a number of members who have been very active. i remember back to 1988 at the democratic convention when jackie jackson, who was just 12 years old got up on stage and said if i were old enough to vote, i would vote for my father. and then she along with the rest of her family, which is very large, i

ahead for you with a look at how london's mayor voiced what many brits have been thinking boris johnson urge the government to hold a referendum on membership in the last one simple question do you want in. class china's rulers are planning an image revamp amid growing criticism of the government's extravagant lifestyle. the story still to come this hour but first the u.s. is preparing to send patriot missiles to turkey after nato approved the plan to defend itself against potential missile attacks from inside syria and america is also pressurizing iraq to search syria planes for weapons even demanding it grounds passing jets but baghdad isn't enthusiastic about this is important reports. as the syrian government struggles to stay in power fighting against rebels backed by the west america is also attempting to suffocate the alleged weapons flying into damascus washington accuses iran of being the key arms supplier to assad forces and to stop the transfer the u.s. is now reportedly demanding that baghdad inspect planes flying from iran over its airspace into syria and the american gover

let's bring in boris. i see you've targeted the dollar/yen. what are you looking at?llar/yen failed today. failed the 83 breakout app it's telling me the market is very hesitant. it's actually pretty mixed. we had payroll up but household down. all of it dove h tail dovetails that it's concerning with what's going on. basically the short dollar/yen trade which i think is going to happen is an anti-deal trade. if we don't get a deal, dollar/yen comes back down for two reasons. number one, the fed is going to come out and be just as accommodating as before because they're going to have to overbalance because washington, d.c. is d.c., is in complete turmoil. >> you have the fiscal cliff and the jobs report which is better than most people expected. they'll have to believe whether they believe it ott nor other data. >> better but far from great and the kind of level that they see in order to ease off the pedal. that's my point. i think they're going to maintain it. and maybe even overcompensate. >> so give me -- give me levels then. >> so, you know, my levels are i want t

outside the fortress of the kremlin to ponder a new century and a new president with the resignation of boristsin. >> daily "flashback" to this day in 1999, when on the eve of the millennium, russian president boris yeltsin stunned the world, announcing he was resigning effective immediately. yeltsin named then prime minister vladimir putin -- sound familiar? as acting president. >>> there is only a small window of opportunity to get things done in a president's second term. and with the white house and congress focused exclusively on the fiscal cliff, what does it all mean for president obama's second term agenda? the president laid out some of his goals on sunday on "meet the press." >> there are a couple of things that we need to get done. i've said that fixing our broken immigration system is a top priority. the second thing that we've got to do is to stabilize the economy and make sure it's growing. number three, you know, we've get a huge opportunity around energy. we are producing more energy and america can become an energy exporter. but the most immediate thing i've got to do, starti

there's something rather medieval in the idea of a sport where men on horseback chase while boris withpears. it is an archaic sport, once hugely popular in spain. then it was banned, but now it is making a comeback. this traditional hunting method is being legalized by a number of regions. even the spanish environment ministry is backing the move, hoping to see a rise in takings in national parks as a result of people buying hunting permits, but animal rights activists are far from happy, calling the horseback hunting savage. >> this is a story from spain about wild boars and a controversial method of hunting them. but it is also a story about a country in crisis and how one is sacrificed for the good of the other. this is a member of the old gentry. hunting has been in his family's blood for generations. he is helping revive the tradition of hunting wild boar on horseback with spears. the sport, known as pigsticking, was long banned, but he has legalize it again. as chairman of the pigsticking international club, he wants to use the hunt as a way to draw tourists to the region. hunter

was there at the time and it was not only the worst moment for mitt romney but the best moment for boris johnson, the mayor of london, when he came out with that fantastic line, "i hear there's some guy named mitt romney." >> i think it was the olympics, too, because it knocked 10 or 12 days out of his campaign, no one in his campaign wanted to go and he went for a show horse. >> he didn't watch the show horse. >> that would have killed his campaign early. if he had gone for greco-roman wrestling. >> why did the show horse hurt? >> it's a high-end, rich people sport. chris: and he had a horse in the race. >> i think that foreign trip was pretty bad, too, but not just because of london because after he left london he went to jerusalem and didn't meet with the palestinian president. things got worse and he went to poland where he had issues there, as well, so the entire trip was a big -- chris: sam? >> i agree with everybody. why not, because -- and i agree when he went to jerusalem and talked about the palestinians and said, well, the people here in the jewish state are so successful beca

boris joins us from b.k.agement. >> good to be with you. >> everybody in their brother it seems is getting on this train. >> yes. >> it's getting a little crowded, isn't it? >> it is getting a little crowded. i still like the trade. i think the trade is very sustainable into 2013. it is so grossly overbought on a daily level that i think it needs a little bit of room. i like the trade but i want to buy it down. i want to buy it at $85.50 with a stop at $84.50. stop at 86 but go out to 88. the fundamentals are in place. the one thing that can scuttle it is if we do fumble the fiscal cliff. if it becomes a problem and the u.s. goes off the rales, the dollar yen becomes in trouble. the japanese side of the equation will continuously pressure the b.o.j. we'll probably try to target that 90 level that abbe wants by next year. that's how the trade sets up for now. >> boris, good to talk to you as always. i like the casual friday look. i hope we didn't drag you in this morning? >> no, you didn't, but i did have to s

let's bring in boris. let's be quick. where is the man going with the stalemate in d.c.?now it is going down if you put the wrong decimal point on dow, it looks like the euro trade. the fiscal cliff does get resolved. the euro has been very strong against the british pound. and i like that cross a lot. it has been holding up. the long euro pound with a stop at 81, could be a good trade for next year if you believe we go back the fiscal cliff and europeans recover. because the pound has been getting tremendous amount of benefit as safe harbor trade. now that risk of fracture on the eurozone has passed, the european economy rebounds and the economy is very lackluster. i think that's a good trade going into the first quarter of the year. >> boris, thank you so much. see you on the other side as well. >>> don't forget to catch "money in motion" at 5:30 on cnbc. >>> it had america falling in love this year but will it break up in the new year? another top 20 trade is up next.

oftentimes to their benefit they seem to be resolving their disputes and just recently the london mayor boris johnson in fact encouraged these russian oligarchs to come to london to resolve their legal matters what's your take on that whole thing i believe that russian investment interest in britain is growing i think it's good that it's growing from the body of the british economy we welcome foreign direct investment from whatever source and it is clearly the case that the bill a number of russian investments made in the london real estate market football clubs of course famously i'd like to see more russian investment in other sectors of the economy too and what do you think about british direct investment in russia how do you see about growing well i would like to see that grow now britain is already a very significant investor in russia we import the third largest foreign director of investor in russia much of that has to do with the oil and gas sector i'd like to see that melt again part of the reason for having businesses with me on this visit is to encourage them to look at the opportu
