jonathan: i appreciate this. enjoy the holidays. jonathan p: thank you.or economists in the family. [laughter] michael mckee is with us. what are you looking for it later? michael: i will, and tell you that the fed cut rates and nobody is going to care and everybody on wall street will go to the back to see who done it. the question is what do they do next. the first thing we look at is the statement. it has a line about considering additional reductions in the fed funds rate and we will look at all of these different factors. if they stick in the word any additional, that would signal perhaps a pause i had -- pause ahead. and then everyone will be looking at the dot plot and not looking at how many but how often and we will see whether that signals any pause. that will be the main story for the markets today. you can see where it was last time. the markets feel like they will go to 2% to 3% from 4% and we will see if that holds and what signal it sells to the markets. jonathan: remember the highlights and the headlines that came from the news conference,

crest. >> jonathan: the round table is back. point about recess appointments. >> there's two ways around the advise and consent power of the senate. the first is recess appointments, but the supreme court back during the obama administration said no to obama's recess appointments and four justices concurred with scalia leading and he said the recess appointments is an aknack niche. we don't have the senate gone forever. that's a nonstarter for them. trump's appointments follow in scalia's footsteps on that. two would be the vacancies reform act, but you have to be in place within the agency you're being appointed to or senate confirmed elsewhere in the government. >> jonathan: during the last year. >> kash patel, not gs-15. he would have to sit there for 90 days. >> jonathan: there's no easy way to bypass a senate confirmation. >> not unless you're willing to wait for a while. >> jonathan: democrats, i've heard -- there's been a lot this week about lessons learned from kamala harris' loss. >> i've heard a lot. i've heard more fi

jonathan: anytime, sir. jonathan: good to see you. eric: appreciate you having me on.ing, i paid full price. let's get you an update on stories elsewhere with dani burger. dani: president emmanuel macron is searching for a new prime minister after a no-confidence vote against his government was passed. he needs to find a prime minister who can pass a 2025 budget through a deeply divided parliament. francine lacqua sat down with le pen earlier this morning. we will bring it to you at 8:45 a.m. u.s. business executives are more optimisti ao the economy and their business after donald trump's election victory. two thirds of those polled said they're confident about the economic outlook, up from 26% from in august and 43 from a year earlier. jetblue is cutting more unprofitable routes, including flights from jfk to miami, suspending services, some to europe. the airline says it is focusing on markets, attempting to restore profits after a blocked partnership with american air. that is your brief. jonathan: one from dani in 30 minutes. next on the program, next year's comeb

jonathan: here's the latest.ilding on canada's prime minister as donald trump's threat of tariffs divides the government. christie freeland resigning just hours before she was supposed to unveil the economic update. "so we have the reserves we need for a coming tariff war." it is as close as it's ever been to collapse. mark mccormick joins us now for more. you are following a closer than we are. what is next? mark: this is a common theme, not just canada. it's happening in france, germany, all over the world. the election of trump is a disruption to the existing order. a piece of this is work together in the markets and economy. we are seeing central bank tried to cut rates and stimulate the economy. fiscal policy is being used for stimulate the economy. voters are unsatisfied with incumbent. incumbents are trying to stay in power. it is very clear using short-term incentives just to spend money to help people ahead of an election is not a long-term strategy for economic policies, especially when you think about

jonathan: it looks so good.ns about a lack of tactic -- tactical flexibility. jonathan: you are thinking about jose coming back to the premier league? ian: anything but that. lisa: some of the best fans on the planet, newcastle united fans. bloomberg economics is looking for 180 2000 jobs to be added on friday coming below the median of 218. we are pleased to catch up with anna wong. welcome. while customer the underlying weakness that is identified and whether you share a similar view? anna: so, we identified that the underlying weakness is in leisure and hospitality for november. in october the weakness unrelated to hurricanes, or the strike at boeing was professional and business services. these two are rather cyclical sectors. a lot of people miss the signs because one would've thought that leisure and hospitality would have been affected by the weather. what we are seeing is a pervasive jerk -- geographically pervasive weakness in leisure and hospitality and that is why we are not as optimistic as ian and t

jonathan: with some hits from jonathan who will stay at 10:30. jonathan: i am staying later?e are looking at this as the last number of the year that matters. it is taking a minute to come up come price index on a month basis up .1%, even less than forecast. the forecast was for 2/10 which is what we saw last month. headline 2.4%, up a tick from october but not as bad as forecast. the court up just 1/10. and year-over-year core up to .8%, same as last month. no increase even though an increase was expected. personal income of .3% and personal spending up .4%, a little less than anticipated but does show people are still involved. this is an interesting number because jay powell gave us the numbers the other day that we didn't all buy into it. it is most important number because it is the fed number for the target and yet by the time we get to it, everyone knows where it is going to be. jonathan: it will breathe some life into the bonds, we are down right now. the two-year it down to 4.25. equities inflating a little higher obsession lows. we are down on the s&p by just .5 on

it's not going to happen, that's correct. >> jonathan: okay.turn to something that is happening, and that is the effort to come to some kind of a resolution in ukraine. president trump of course, says -- he has famously said that, you know, he can bring a peace deal to ukraine. i know right now, president biden is working to get together the last, you know, one more tranche of military aid to ukraine. where do you see this going? >> well, you know, clearly the candidate trump said he would resolve this before he took the oath of office. well, that's not going to happen. the ukraine situation is still extremely serious. we need to be with ukraine. it's the front line of defense for democracy. we know that russia will not stop with ukraine. we know there are many other countries that feel at risk if ukraine is not able to defend its sovereignty. that requires international support from democratic states led by the united states. so we need to continue to be there, and then we need to continue to look for a way in which we can resolve the conflict

jonathan: germany is odd.e countries looking for physical space but they cannot because the market will not give it to them. in germany they are looking for fiscal space. lisa: it goes to the sociological study which is fascinating. jonathan: let's get back to the federal reserve and lisa can continue doing that in her spare time. the fed making a predicted 25 point rate cut. iain stealey sang the fed's decision to step to the side makes perfect steps having lower that policy rate by a full percentage point from his peak they can afford to be more cautious in considering further adjustments. welcome to new york and good morning. what changed yesterday afternoon for you? iain: we are in an environment and this was the problem jay powell had during the press conference -- they just do not know. lisa said it. you have some people put in the forecast, there are some not, there is a lot of uncertainty. they are struggling with an environment where inflation has been more sticky than they would've hoped for. growth

jonathan: cut or skip?hat with the title of the speech that came from governor wally yesterday. as of today i'm leaning toward continuing the work which started in returning monetary policy to a more neutral setting. lisa: basically be heard from john williams from chris waller. the word on the street, "eh." it is going to depend. tom williams, i expect it will be appropriate to move toward a more neutral setting overtime. very difficult to get a sense of timing either way. this seems to be the fed setting up for a cot and a very different communication. annmarie: jonathan: compare and contrast united states versus europe. in the u.s., cut or skip? in europe, cut or cut really big? 25 or 50 seems to be the conversation, and for good reason. annmarie: when you look what is happening in france, we are on the brink of the government collapsing. in about 24 hours france may not have a government. this is nonsense because it is france, this is off the heels of the implosion of the german government as well. you

jonathan: jonathan: here is your latest.ember jobs report with economists expecting a rebound from october's print. torsten slok writing the fed has a very isometric view on its dual mandate, putting much more weight on low unemployment and on getting inflation to stay at 2%. torsten slok joins us for more. evidence this summer that they were putting far more weight on the risk unemployment would get away from them. torsten: there is a question whether asked your risk on inflation and they have since this began consistently said the risk to unemployment is it will go up in all environments and that is the word you have, that if there is too much focus on let's keep unemployment low it takes the eyes off the ball of inflation, which is the risk at the moment when inflation for the last few months has started to move up towards 3% again, well above the 2% target. jonathan: we have had a morning full of people worried about the underlying pace of growth in the jobs market. are you pushing back against that? torsten: absolutely.

i know jonathan doesn't. jonathan: thanks for clarifying.screen but you have to fit it in your pocket. jonathan: i was in the market for a coach handbag. lisa: affordable luxury. jonathan: that was very important for me going into 2025. goldman sachs -- goldman sachs saying three times the level of energy from 2022 will be used. wil vanloh joins us now forget good morning. it is good to see you. the incoming president wants to unlock energy in america. drill, baby, drill is something we heard from him on the campaign trail. how difficult will t be? wil: first of all, thank you for having me on this morning. it will be difficult. in terms of oil and gas production, oil in particular, we have really developed most of the shell resource plays. other than the permian, they are all either peeking and rolling into decline or they will soon. and i think the permian, maybe we could get another million or 2 million barrels a day out of it. we produce 13 million barrels a day now so maybe it gets up to 14 or 15 million but that would be the limitation

i'm jonathan capeheart. we continue our breaking news coverage this hour, out of washington earlier this evening. president biden issued a pardon for his son hunter, who was found guilty to gun charges in delaware and pleaded guilty to tax evasion in california. president biden has said repeatedly he would not use his presidential authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. the president changed his mind over the holiday weekend. a short while ago, president biden put out a defiant statement that said, in part, no reasonable person who looks at the facts of hunter's cases can reach any other conclusion, than hunter was singled out only because he is my son. and that is wrong. there has been an effort to break hunter, who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective. in trying to break hunter, they have tried to break me. and there's no reason to believe it will stop here. enough is enough. and moments ago, hunter biden issued a statement of his ob. >> i

the other thing is the personal message, jonathan. you know how many electoral votesvote s jimmy carter got against ronald reagan, chris remembers this sadly, he got 48 electoral votes after winning the presidency four years earlier. i used to talk to carter about what that was like. he said, people would not return my calls, the former president. yet, he had the strength of character and the imagination to say, there are things that an ex-president can now do that we never have seen before in american history. not just play golf or raise money for charitable organizations, worthy as they may be, built the carter center, work for democracy around the world, eradicate disease, be a tower of moral principle, didn't always get it right. but as far as what we should say to young people, what should you say to your sons about what they should know one day about jimmy carter, this is a person who tried every day of his life to do right, sometimes did, sometimes did not, but in the end was the kind of person we can hold up to our children. >

>> thanks so much, jonathan, good to see you, good to be with you., so many challenges, so many fights, i have been in so many successes and accomplishments. first, i have to think my staff, because this has been a team lee, both d.c. and my district staff who have helped me along the way to make sure that we stand up for what is right, deliver on the policy agenda, but also, pigs work with constituents. and i can say, one of my most memorable achievements was helping a woman who was unsheltered, living on the streets in oakland, she needed her social security disability, and no one believed that she had that pretty well, she called me and i talked to her on the phone. i was able to get her, along with my staff, over $30,000. i never met her in person, but 15 years later at a church in oakland, california, she was there, i was there. she got up and she testified and she said let me tell you about congresswoman lee, she was the only one. a few weeks later, i got 30,000+ dollars, i had a place to go then, and i am living the life the way she helped me

here is jonathan joseph. on for the stricken airplane, the passenger filming this notices some damage under the wing. back inside, spite oxygen masks and lifejackets being visible, those on board seem calm. it's not clear how long before the crash this was filmed. there were 62 passengers and five crew on board this azerbaijan airlines flight from baku to grozny in southern russia. amateur footage shows the pilot struggling to control the plane as it tries to land. the force of impact split the plane in two, with the front half destroyed by fire. the key question is why. i spoke to one military expert who said suggestions of a bird strike being responsible were unlikely. >> at the moment evidence is coming out, but most likely hypothesis is that it was struck by an air defense missile, most certainly russian can in the area over grozny where the plane was holding. ukrainian drones were active at the time, and this is commencement with everything raising with the pilot's communication. it's the only thing that

jonathan hight had a new york times bestseller with the anxious generation. i loved his prior collaboration with greg lukianoff, the coddling of the american mind, and this book exceeded that high bar. in fact, goodreads, world's largest website for readers and book recommendations, named the anxious mind the best nonfiction book of the year. i see hite's book as the culmination of a series of great books that collectively describe our societal disconnect. in fact, this body of work so moved me that this year i spoke in 14 different states to public and private audiences in an address that i call the mingle project, i draw on the work of robert putnam, who wrote bowling alone, about the loss of social capital that comes when we're no longer a community of joiners, like our parents and bill bishop. he then followed with the big sort, talking about how post-vietnam we disconnected from one another. and when we came back together in the internet era, it was a narrowly caste. lines. jean twenge explored the contribution of this fraying of our fabric and its impac

jonathan, your thoughts? >> you said something very profound.ked about the sort of breakdown in scrupulous values that we have, that we're seeing throughout our nation and i wonder if you think, is that something that kind of prompted the red wave to happen? i mean, this idea, this sense among families throughout our country that we need to get back to the scrupulous values that made our nation great in the first place and one of them being not wanting to see someone die just because they work in a certain industry whether it's popular or unpopular but this idea that the values we hold as a nation have been on trial for the last four years and it's time to return to what makes our nation great from a moral standpoint. >> i think there's no question there's a pushback nationwide against the craziness of the campuses and i work on a campus and you know, cornell's not as bad as some but campuses in general have some of the craziest ideas that you can imagine. many of the campuses are run by incredibly radical faculty who have no accountability to a

perfect topic here jonathan turley. the preemptive imparted we know it has been used we can all do the research. it was used once pretty much a by washington and situation. it was used by ford in a very unusual situation for ease by carter in an unusual situation. that's pretty much about it. preemptive pardons for political friends political allies or people like this that's biden's staff and say we ought to also give want to trump to you smell a rat here, don't you? >> i do part f prefer saul a par trump would be the most hostile pardon ever issued trump does not meet a part in the case is against him have collapsed. even though they were not dismissed with prejudice it is extremely unlikely they could ever be resuscitated and so to give him a pardon for effectively dead federal cases would be to send this message he is still at risk. it would fulfill the narrative but the fact is he is not at risk in those cases it would not have any impact on the state cases where he still has some on going litigation. but those cas

jonathan great to see you.tances and i want to add one more thing to this. guardian angels founder curtis found the daniel penny's case is the reason bystanders on the train did not help. we're going to read the quote. quote there's no doubt people don't want to get involved. it's the daniel penny factor. it's frozen people. they're saying to themselves i don't want to get jammed up like penny. so jonathan, doesn't it seem like we have the worst of both worlds here, an entirely preventible crime because the suspect should not have been in the country in the first place, and now a city where people are too scared to be good samaritans because they don't want to have happen to them what happened to daniel penny. >> i think you're exactly right. you have bad policy coming together and collide to make the lives worse for the citizens of new york, particularly that victim. but i think it is really interesting he says the penny effect. it reminds me of what people were calling the ferguson effect years ago where poli
