>> reporter: absolutely, katy. the president even alluded to that yesterday, when he kicked off this summit, saying he knows that countries around the world are looking to america for guidance and leadership, and that it has been a bit of a complicated effort at times. that was of course a more oblique reference to the issues you're discussing. but the larger black drop of all -- backdrop of all of this was discussing the importance of democracy. of course there are notable countries that weren't invited and then even some more notable ones that did make the cut and that was the subject of some criticism over the course of this two-day summit that did need to take place virtually because of the pandemic. but the president really talking today, you heard him there, announcing there will be a followup next year where he hopes to make progress on some of these issues. we do have to remember here as as the president of course ex tolls the values of democracy, there are issues in our own country in terms of getting voti

>> exactly, katy. i think you'll hear at the top about the encouraging news that the covid team is going to highlight and at the same time they're going to remind everybody that the reason it's so important to get vaccinated and to get boosted is not to protect yourself. it's really, of course, a major benefit because if you're young and healthy and you maybe only have a mild or breakthrough case of omicron, that is best-case scenario. this is all about those who are too young to get the vaccines or those who maybe only had their first or second dose because maybe not enough time have passed to get their booster given the timeline and exactly to your point, those with either immuno compromised situations who are high risk, who are elderly. so, the holiday season is what really brings this into the starkest contrast for many who are really making these decisions if i feel safe and personally can travel, if i'm boosted and everything that's great, but if i make a decision that then puts somebody else at

what is and how important is the terminal rate, katie? know that right now economists are looking for two hikes. katie: yeah and i mean the dot plot is where you could see potential for a hawkish surprise. the balance going into the meeting is expected to be hawkish as is between the potential accelerated taper and the dot plot. consensus would tell you the plot is expected to show two hikes expected next year and in terms of what the market is pricing in at this point it feels like it wavers. that is where you can see fed officials lean more hawkish and for you could see more disruption in stock markets and bond markets. it's already been quite a -- quite a volatile few weeks. matt: katie, thank you for joining us. don't forget our bloomberg special, fed decides. led by the surveillance team in about 23 minutes. something that caught my eye today, the blackstone fourth annual holiday video. like the past few this one opens with the theme song from "the office." they focused on their weekly companywide zoom meeting, which they call blacks

katie, with this message tonight. >> make some magic for yourself.oo gratulations on 25. i'm whit johnson dan: good afternoon. thanks for joining us. ama: covid covid covid c across the united states. the daily average is 206,000, up nearly 150 percent in the last month. omicron remains the dominant variant in the u.s., even with the cdc revising its numbers today. it makes up about 50% of all cases. december 18, omicron was responsible for just under 20% of all cases instead of the much higher number the cdc reported. hospitalizations have gone up 25% in the last week. dan: contra costa county is tightening its mask mandate starting tomorrow. regardless of vaccination status, people will be required to wear a mask indoors. the county had an granted an exemption by the state a couple of weeks ago. health officials say today's decision is because of a rise in cases and hospitalizations over the past week. ama: we surpassed 5 million cases today since the start of the pandemic. the positivity rate has quadrupled since the start of december. we have a l

katy watson reporting _ candidates. katy watson reporting on _ candidates.. president biden's flagship piece of legislation — known as build back better — looks in deep trouble after a key senatorfrom his own democratic party said he wouldn't support it. senatorjoe manchin, who represents the conservative state of west virginia, told fox news he'd tried to reach an compromise on the multi—billion dollar bill. the finely balanced composition of the senate means president biden cannot afford to lose a single democratic vote. 0ur correspondent in washington, nomia iqbal, has the latest on the senator's statement. this is his top domestic policy priority. this is the cornerstone of his agenda. he campaigned on this. this is a huge ambitious spending bill which involves programmes that fought climate change as well as boosting healthcare subsidy, giving free child health care, you name it. no republican backs this bill because they believe that it will basically make inflation even worse. it's at an all—time high at the —— in america. president biden has had to r

katie: i think so.f you think about the past few days, we had a big selloff on friday in tech shares. i woke up saturday morning to a bunch of alerts that bitcoin plunged overnight. crypto in general tends to follow stocks more than anything else, tech stocks in particular more than anything else. i don't think it's a coincidence that that huge drop we saw was on saturday, on the weekend. crypto's defining characteristic, among its volatility, is that it trades 24/7. trading volume is thin, not a lot of liquidity. you tend to see big moves like this, and they leave a mark. rising a little bit, still not able to get above that 50,000 level. matt: we have seen, the contrary, some of these big mega cap tech stocks over a long period of time following close to bear markets. facebook, tesla off 20% from their highs. what are we seeing that drives that? katie: if you look across the tech sector, it is the very speculative areas of the market that are falling. goldman has a basket of nonprofitable tech shares.

having liz on, katy, to talk about that was great.tty white hosted, but i worked there with tina fey, amy poehler and other great performers. you could see the love by them when betty white came to host in 2010? comedy keeps you young? spirit. i was so much younger. and political news. betty white at 99, i really encourage -- go watch clips when she hosted snl at 88 years old. there's a great sketch with her and tina faye, and living in a house with tina comes to take the census. it was hilarious. i challenge anyone to stay up until 1:00 in the morning, to 1:00 in the morning. if you're 50 or 60, she was 88. i can assure you. it was late night after late night. she had the energy to carry a show, and tina and amy were part of her 90th celebration for her birthday, commented on how she inspired them, and countless other women, from "the golden girls to "mary tyler moore show." she was game for anything. you see her on game shows, having things thrown at her. she didn't care. she cared about the life. she didn't care about a certain ima

i'm katie phang in for alicia menendez.e start with a shocking curveball thrown at the white house this morning. senator joe manchin announcing he will not vote in favor of president biden's build back better legislation. >> i've always said if i can't go home and explain it to the people of west virginia, i can't vote for it. and i cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. i just can't. i tried everything humanly possible. i can't get there. >> the white house says it was blindsided. press secretary jen psaki releasing a statement sharply criticizing manchin saying, senator manchin's comments this morning on fox are at odds with his discussions this week with the president, with white house staff, and with his own public utterances. weeks ago senator manchin committed to the president at his home in wilmington to support the build back better framework that the president subsequently announced. senator manchin pledged repeatedly to negotiate in good faith. congresswoman cori bush, one of six house progressive

>> thank you, katie. and good evening, everyone. and one of the reasons why she deserve this is award and i want to remind everyone first this is the seventh and final environmental service award that we will be awarding this year in 2021. this recognizes persons in our community whose work has had a truly outstanding impact on both the environment and the health of our community. during julia's 15 years, she has been invalue to believe the department and helped make ennumerable environmental initiatives get started and take root in the community. for example, all five of the hardware stores participated at the east hazardous waste collection program to allow residents to bring unwanted batteries and propane cylinders to participating stores. the program makes it far easier for residents to dispose of these items properly. instead of driving them and folks can bring them to the nearest hardware and often reduce emissions, too. during the pandemic, hardware stores were struggling with supply chain issues and the demands of being an e

townhall.com editor and fox news contributor, katie pavlich every christmas, he gets a mercedes withon it. that was more risque than i intended. american conservative union chairman, matt schlapp he's the biggest comedian from sea to shining sea, and by that i mean the long island sound to a random puddle in queens. "fox across america" host, jimmy failla yes. so what do you think? i think that was a brilliant monologue and i'm wondering, katie, are there two americas, and the whole question is, do we just ignore and go about our business or do we protest? do we yell, and scream, do we live? >> i think you can laugh and protest at the same time here there are two americas. people in washington, d.c., want there to be two americas, they are happy with the biting people. anthony fauci telling you to this invite your unvaccinated family members, not to mention the maybe have health problems, natural immunity, maybe they don't need whatever is selling that he is putting a wedge between you and your family because he wants you to rely on him more than you rely on your grandparents or your
