and then megan kimball is. her book is city limits infrastructure inequity and the future of america's highways. so both fascinating topics. great books. if you haven't read them, please go buy today. but i wanted to start just with both of you, just a little of what brought you to these topics the first place. and frank, if you want to start, please. sure. thank you all for coming today. so this this project really originates with a longstanding interest, understanding the role of sport in american society. you know, it's out. it's out. it's outside. it's impact in our world. and certainly that's been the case since the second world war when the united the wind is blowing. my sign around. there it goes became a sports crazy nation, right? i did the cool front come in. i think we just got this. we could use the breeze. it's typically humid here, so i really want stand the impact of sport in our world. whether or not we're sports fans. it's major industry. it's a major preoccupation certainly in this state of te

to look at megan markle and say she is changing diapers?y not ended did put my business instagram handle but that's what it's like, a shot of their children in the back of their heads and i got privacy, i get that but there's public photos she's put out of them all year round so it's not that. it's just a bizarre thing like here is our holiday photo. >> one thing you can give them credit for, they put their rescue dog in the card we put our rescue dog in the card as well. don't you dare walk off the set. [laughter] the question is, lincoln taylor, who had the better christmas card? new give her credit for a better christmas card? >> i can say she put in more effort. she gets of participation tr trophy. >> you give her the participation points. >> that's the nicest thing he's ever said. >> the guy who follows his mom through the supermarket screaming she won't feed our d dog, people give him money to feed the dog she really starves the dog and he'll walk around like feed the dogs, why won't you feed the dog? people get upset and cry and what

>> what's really interesting is exactly what megan said. there are some positive elements of the policies that had been put forth. for example, lighter regulation would help the energy sector. it might help manufacturing and materials. lighter regulation would help banks. certainly, if the doj pull back on some antitrust efforts, that could help investment banks. there are clearly these pro-business initiatives. at the ame time, tariffs, no matter where they are, they will be higher than today. that will be inflationary. making undocumented immigrants leave the country is likely going to be inflash airtionary agriculture, leisure and hospitality. finally, look at the deficit. no taxes on tips. maybe no taxes on social security. it's easy to see how inflation stays higher for longer with the deficit where it is. the market seems to be very sanguine about everything when i think there are more risks than the market is pricing in. >> go back to the comments from powell. one of the things he said was that with the september cut they wanted to s

megan, what do you think your legacy is and will be?r people to answer. but i think part of the legacy is, you know, growing our individual teams, growing the sport to think about where the sport is now for a trinity rodman versus where it was for me when i was growing is massively different. there's a million people that are involved in that. but to have our little fingerprints on it in some way, i think when i think about legacy, i think of seeing more like openly gay people in the stands and families and like seeing black lives matter flags in the stands and like seeing groundbreaking cbas and seeing equal pay, like seeing the team continue to win, which has always been the legacy, which is the legacy that i picked up from other people. now these players get to just take it to a whole new level and, you know, blow us out of the water. and i feel like that's exciting for us and like meaningful for us of like we built something that was sturdy to stand on. and now they're flying. >> when we come back, nbc's savannah guthrie opens up ab

and megan, i want to start with you. lisa smith, democrats charges, in a pretty smart thinker in the democratic party was pretty harsh on her own party writing this in the new york times. saying, democrat brand is in the toilet. it continues, the democratic plan is in the trail to many of the democrats who succeed in the cycle are best for over performers. francis, people who ran against the democrat party ran one the best way to win as a character is to run against your own party. it is that bad. megan, is it that bad? what do you make what is happening? >> i think that word and the folks are onto something. i do think that the democrats are going to have to find a little bit more of an identity back to where we used to be and a party for the working class, i think that the country told us that the election that they were more moderate to democrats are and the way the party is moving. so i think that if democrats want to win or want to win intimate terms or in 2028, they are going to need to move more to the middle and

one day, megan disappears. that could potentially lead to her discovery, so she feels obligated to contact the police. soon, rachel is entangled in a web of deceit, murder, and unlikely sister hood that forces her to reckon with her own reality and rediscover her own strength. that is the plot of today's velshi banned book club, the global phenomenon with some 23 million copies sold. "the girl on the train" by paula hawkins. written using three alternating points of view and it moves seamlessly between the past and the present. it is a master class in building tension by concealing key information and by relying on a narrator who cannot be trusted. hawkins is a gifted cinematic writer, creating hitchcock like scenes that are high octane, thrilling, and dark, without reading like a screenplay, which is why it also made for a hit movie starring emily blunt and a whole cast of stars. rachel, our primary protagonist, the narrator for the bulk of the book and the girl on the train is gravely flawed, physically and e

professor megan squire is the lead author.am, i would say, is an 11. it's a one—stop shop. it's dishing out enormous amounts of criminal content, extremist content — i mean, you name it. it is extremely dangerous, in my opinion. megan's set up a new telegram account to show how the algorithm works. she starts by simply searching for donald trump. and immediately you're shown a whole bunch of different channels. but what i want to draw our attention to is, over here, there's this "similar channels" area. oh, yes. so, we click in and we're shown, what other channels might i be interested in? i've got qanon content here — multiple channels. all right, let's pick one randomly. here we go. it is a combination maga scheme and a scam. we've obviously initiated that by typing a word, but all of the other recommendations thereafter are telegram—chosen, or algorithm—chosen? it's an algorithm that's trying to tell me, "if you liked this, you'll really like this." so it's suggesting what other folks like me thought was interesting. so, wh

megan: within the u.s.l be defensive in the value side over the growth, and that is because it is value from valuation is relatively attractive compared to the u.s. growth side of the market. we are looking at some opportunities in small and mid cap stocks. they are still trading pretty high, and they are very economically sensitive. we are looking in the u.s., look at the developed international markets. long-term if you can withstand the volatility, those valuations should revert back and you should see that the developed internationals can do well over the long run. scarlet: all right, don't get full fight --- fooled by short-term gyrations. i know you have been super patient and flexible with us, with all the breaking news out of france and korea. thank you so much. coming up, we want to turn to the u.s. real-estate market and how technology like ai will affect the industry for the elizabeth hart will be joining us next. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ the black friday sale is now on. visit sandals.com or ca

megan, good morning. very interesting reporting here. what did you find?alpointees in the cabine administration. we found ten political appointees who donated more than $1 million to candidates and super pacs this election cycle alone. the last two years. this is based on the fec filings. elon musk led the way with $277 million donated mostly to super pacs, but setting him aside as an out liar, we found five of trump's picks for the cabinet and ambassadors. linda mcmahon spent $24 million. howard lutnick spent almost $14 million on donations. scott bessent is up there with $3 million spent. together, frank, these ten people donated at least $359 million to republican candidates and super pacs in the last two years. that's a pretty staggering total in the big money post-citizens united era of politics that we're in. for comparison, we did not find any political appointees from the biden administration. in the trump first term, we found linda mahon. there is still a distention here. trump's pick to ambassador to the uk donated more than $25 million this cycl

dani: joining us now is megan robson. thank you for joining.an, i was looking at the staff from bank of america that, since november of 2023, investment grade funds have only recorded three weeks of outflows. the demand has been insatiable. what, if anything, stop that? >> for now, we think the demand picture looks optimistic heading into next year. i think that despite the fact that spreads remain very tight, i think yields remain compelling in the asset class. if you are a yield based investor focused on returns, the pension company of foreign buyers, it looks very good. we think that it is supportive for spreads heading into 2025. dani: bill, would you share that optimism? >> i agree with that entirely. any backup and spread -- in spread or backup in yield, i think you will see more demand from all regions of the globe and all channels. dani: i have to ask, you both are not alone here. across risk assets, there has been this overwhelming optimism. bill, does it give you pause all that spreads are so tight here and everyone seems to be moving

megan, biden ran in 2020 that he would be a transitional one-term president.trump's presidency seem like an aberration. is that a fair assessment? >> president trump was re-elected so i do think it's hard to go back on that, but i do think that the president did a lot of things and he put the country back on track and the american people rejectioned that, but i agree with congressman dent that we were not making sure that people understood what we were doing and we were not making their actual concerns and their bottom line front and center. people do not care about spending in ukraine when they can't afford eggs or gas. so i do think that we miss the mark on those things and that's why democrats lost. >> charlie,canada, sort of shoo from the hip. do you have a feeling of dread i like, here we go again? >> i do worry quite a bit about trump chaos 1.0 and likely to see it again and calling canada the 51st state and going after greenland. he's picking fights with good allies. good allies with nato, canada and denmark. it doesn't make sense. canada, we have a goo

my colleagues jack howell, megan leonard, and andrew berry. so, jack, the s&p and dow were down a little bit on the week the nasdaq eked out a gain. what was on traders minds? >> well, stocks were still up massively for the year. so maybe just call it taking a breather. we did get some big stock declines after financial results from oracle and adobe. but there was also a big gain for broadcom. so to me it's not a clear trend there. alphabet had a huge week. that was after announcing a quantum computing breakthrough. and we got some inline inflation numbers that that makes a rate cut from the fed seem likely in the week ahead. >> i think actually traders are pricing in somewhere in the 97% odds for a rate cut. but keep in mind we're going to get that cut and then we'll probably be on pause for a bit. >> let's go back to the quantum thing, jack. that's been a red hot area. >> this was an embarrassing week to be a supercomputer. google said it has a new chip called willow that can perform this benchmark calculation in less than five minutes. that

, how satisfied we have been go ahead. >> megan. we have been in contact with government officials. we've had meetings at state in the white house and various different you know, they're extremely involved how satisfied are you with with their outreach and what they're doing for you? well, austin isn't home yet i can understand that, to be sure. >> how do you think the change in regimes changes austin's situation megan, you know, it's really hard for us to speculate again. >> i mean, i know i keep saying it, but we are just incredibly encouraged by seeing that, you know people are being freed and reunited we do believe that in chaos, there is opportunity. and that is why we feel so strongly that now is the time to have anyone who has any kind of authority to you know, use every available resource to bring austin home. >> and simon just so i can understand the timeline here, you guys had planned to have these contacts with the biden administration these in-person contacts now independent of what's happening in syria and the syrian go

do you see, megan?is this to make himself, you know, sort of look powerful and going after crime or what? >> i think it's just to disagree with president biden. >> i think that anyone who has followed president biden or voted for him in 20 knew that he was not for the federal death penalty. >> it was on his platform. in 20, he had put a stay, a moratorium on death penalty, federal death penalty cases when he took office in 21. so this is not a surprising move. i think that the president elect is just trying to look powerful, and this is a policy difference, and that is fine. and the american people voted for him. so he can then now vigorously pursue whatever he would like to do when he takes office. but this is a policy difference. and i just think that this is, again, just like more muddying the waters, more throwing stuff at the wall just to see where it sticks. >> megan. hey shermichael singleton, thank you both for coming in on the day after christmas. thanks, sarah. how lovely of you and sarah. >>

megan, what do you think of that? you know, basically taunting the canadian prime minister of the sovereign nation of canada look, i think that these are threats. >> these are things that he wants. he says he wants to do. but the fact of the matter is these tariffs are not good for the american people. and i think that folks know that this will add over $4,000 to middle class families. and i just don't think that this is a smart tactic. it's not a good negotiating tactic. and i don't see what you're doing to, to to be threatening with our partners from the north and the south terry, what do you what do you make of the taunting here? >> what are the limits of this? at what point? and i know trudeau's got his own issues politically inside canada. but i do wonder, with all these world leaders, some of whom have experience with trump, at what point they might just say you know what? we've seen this before you mean the nato allies that are now paying more of their fair share of nato because of these type tactics, or the fa

megan hayes, let me start with you.how seriously do you take trump's comments about these supposed land acquisitions? >> i don't take them seriously at all. this is donald trump throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. >> i mean, this is how he wants to to govern. >> this isn't how you actively do diplomacy. >> you don't do it through tweeting or x or truth social. so i don't really take them that seriously at all. >> one, that some of these are sovereign nations that you just can't take land from. >> so you know, it will be seen when he's inaugurated. but this is this is more of his campaigning nature, not his governing nature. >> and lance trover. is this why some people voted for trump to make threats about seizing control of other countries territory? >> i think people voted for donald trump to lower prices, and i think people voted for him to tighten up our national security and take on countries like china. you know, senator tom cotton, back in 2019, had a very interesting op ed in the new york times on

and i think that's also why i wonder who that could be. >> what do you make of of megan's assessment that there's a line here among republican lawmakers? because for this report to come out, some house republicans had to change their mind from where they were a few weeks ago when they voted to hold this report back. what does that tell you? >> it tells me that republicans want to maintain their independence and their autonomy as a separate body from the executive branch. and i would argue that the president elect, not as it pertains to this case specifically, but at least on the senate side, has for the most part, appeared to be willing to respect that separation as it pertains to many of his nominees. he's allowing them to have that advise and consent authority there. so i think this is a good thing for some americans who may have wondered, well, will congress maintain their actual job? they appear to be doing so. i think we can expect that for the next four years. >> gaetz is responding at length here on x. let's read this, he says, i was charged with nothing, fully exonerated, not

megan fitzgerald, nbc news, london. >>> all right our thanks to megan for the report.ad on this morning. including an update on the deadly plane crash in kazakhstan. the plane carrying 67 people went down earlier this morning but we are told there are survivors. you're watching nsnbc reports. survivors. you're watching nsnbc reports. ! dawn powerwash flies through 99% of grease and grime in half the time. watching m. grer. watching m. even replaces multiple cleaning products. ooh, those suds got game. dawn powerwash. the better grease getter. prilosec knows, for a fire... one fire extinguisher beats 10 buckets of water, and for zero heartburn 1 prilosec a day... beats taking up to 10 antacids a day. it's that simple, for 24 hour heartburn relief... one beats ten. prilosec otc. >>> good morning, it's 1 11:00 a.m. eastern. i'm christina ruffini. dozens are feared dead after a plane carrying 67 people crashed in kazakhstan but more than 30 survived. the plane was heading to russia from azerbaijan and nbc's kelly cobiella joins us now. do we have any updates on the crash,

>> no, and megan mentioned earlier how popular these programs are.mericans agree they don't want social security benefits for example to be cut from any sort of plans that elon or president-elect trump have. the problem of course is that trump has slipped on this issue so no one totally knows where he stands when but if it comes down to it, we have heard how ruthless elon musk and vivek ramaswamy want to be when it comes to cutting spending. we know they will do whatever it takes to make trump happy. >> all right, megan, trump's defense secretary pick, pete hegseth, but back on capitol hill this week. his mom even went to stump for him on television, which might be a tactic i'll try my next job interview. and senators asked about his alcohol consumption. are republican senators likely to support his nomination now that trump has declared he thinks he's doing well? >> no, i think they're still going through the process with all these meetings. i think joni ernst is a big person they'll be looking to. but i don't think that people are just going to bla

um, megan, to you, how are you in the family getting through this on a day to day basis? i know it has to be so, so heavy. and especially as we are, you know, coming towards christmas and the holidays. >> yes. um, it's been weighing so heavily on my heart, on all of us. i think, to be so close for this many weeks now, you know, we really feel like this is a window of opportunity and windows don't stay open forever. and i think just it's been such an interesting space to be in. i have two young children. they've never met austin, you know, and having this big, heavy thing and being on the verge of our seats, just waiting any moment now. and also, you know, being in this time that, you know, creating holiday magic and trying to keep the spirit of christmas, it's it's been a really, really challenging time this year especially. i'm so grateful that so many of us were, you know, that we were all together in dc when we were, um, and i am just really still hoping and praying for a christmas miracle. >> and we will do the same. megan tice malone and simon tice, let us hope that

let's discuss all of this with democratic strategist megan hayes. and republican strategist shermichael singleton. guys, welcome shermichael. we've all been in this town long enough. i'm very young what we've seen over the course of the last 18 hours for the pete hegseth nomination is like the perfect encapsulation of the doom spiral before the end, but we've also seen him fight back today. yeah, and to manu's point, senators aren't coming out and saying we're against him. he's still alive. he is still. can he turn this around? >> his mom did an interview on fox news today. i watched it, i thought it was very compelling. we'll see how the meeting goes with iowa senator joni ernst. i think a lot of republicans are really waiting to see what the senator of iowa says. i think if she says yes, thumbs up, i think he will absolutely move forward and ultimately get confirmed. if, however she says, i'm not really certain, i'm not sure. and megan and i talked about this, i don't know if she'll come out and say, well, you know what? no but maybe there will be

and megan hayes, former assistant to joe biden. news of these possible preemptive pardons. >> it's bordering on absurd. i can't believe that they're actually considering doing this. adam schiff, who is one of the people that they are considering giving a pardon to, said himself he doesn't think that is necessary. what he's articulated is a view i agree with. we have a system for this. if somehow the incoming president does decide to go after his political rivals, we have a justice system. it doesn't mean he can just throw people in jail. if you haven't committed any crimes, there's no reason to give people pardons. i just worry about the precedent that is being set here, that we give blank etd, unrestricted pardons to people in your own party. i understand donald trump is a unique threat in a lot of people's eyes, but you can't lower your standards of what makes sense in a democracy, just because of a vague threat that you have. i know that he's said he's going to go after people. if you have not committed crimes, there's no reason

megan cassella is joining us with more. >> reporter: good morning, frank. the commerce department is moving to limit sales of chips and chip making equipment and related software to china. the goal is to slow or stop china's development of advanced weapons and systems used for the military. this move has long been expected. it has been under discussion for months with american allies and businesses with rules hurt business and competitiveness. the final package today appears to be pared back with the negotiations and allies with the power to impose restrictions. that is a major win for countries like japan, south korea and netherlands and for the companies there which is tokyo electric in japan and asml holdings in the netherlands. there is likely to be an impact on u.s. companies whose sales to china will be further limited. that includes micron and manufacturers like applied materials. i will note both could see less of an impact than presently expected given today's rules appear milder than previous draft version was have looked. u.s. officials also do s

as far as everything else i had a chance to sit down with megan kelly today for an hour. i refer you to that interview. she probably asked all the questions you guys would like to ask. >> you may not be shocked to learn megan kelly did not ask all the questions someone might want to ask again nominated to run the largest agency and most powerful bureaucracy in the entire u.s. government. >> do you think you are being kavanaugh 'd right now? >> that's what they are trying to do to you, that is their playbook get ready for more, and they're going to make it up just like they have so far all anonymous all innuendo all rumor nothing sourced no verification, and they are just going to keep doing it, because you are a threat to them. >> what you are seeing right now with me is the art of the smear. it is the classic art of the smear. take whatever tiny kernels of truth, and there are tiny ones in there, and blow them up into a masquerade of a narrative about somebody that i am definitely not. >> just to be clear on-- the most troubling acts, sexual assault, there is a police re

megan, who's the hardest person for you to buy for?i think it's my grandmother who's 96, because she says things like, i'm not going to be around long enough to use this, or i don't want to wear this. and she said, i love her. >> she's practical, awesome. >> but you know what? she's getting an ipad this year for me and we're going to spend all day today learning how to use it. and it's going to be incredible. she'll be able to watch us on the show on her iphone. >> get the warranty. >> it's a good sign. >> yeah, yeah, i got it engraved and everything. >> so i am sticking by it. >> oh that's great. >> oh my god. quick story my friend george. last christmas i gave him my heart. the very next day he gave it away this year to save me from tears. you know i'm going to give it to someone special. special. once bitten, twice shy. i was so upset. i feel like i should write this down. yeah, i should really write a poem or something. you could maybe sing it. yeah, i know, and it might, you know, it might be my ticket. i don't know, mark. >> well

and megan hayes, democratic strategist, former white house director of message planning under president biden. good to have you both. on this day after christmas. megan, if i could begin with you, given you worked for biden, 39% approval rating as he prepares to leave office, it's not a good number. it's quite close to where it's been for some months now before he goes just briefly. biggest wins for him from his four years. and what were the biggest mistakes then? >> i think the biggest wins for him were the infrastructure bill, the bipartisan infrastructure bill, putting all that money back into communities for roads and bridges and and other investments. i also think the chips and science act, where he is bringing jobs here, things are being manufactured here in the united states and also the the inflation reduction act and massive investments into clean energy economy. and also he created more jobs than any president in modern history. and i think, you know, that i think that legacy is is not nk it's something that he has put the foot work in that generations will benefit from. >> an

megan, what do we know? >> look, charles, as you just mentioned, talking about a full flight here with 181 people when it crashed into a barrier wall at the end of the runway there. we want to warn you, though, that the footage you're about to see is graphic. so if you take a look at the video here, you can see the moment when the plane comes in for a landing, and it's just skidding along the runway after its landing gear apparently failed before it crashes into the wall and erupted into a massive fire ball. it's incredible to think that just two people managed to survive. sadly the other 179 people on board died. flight radar tracking the journey didn't appear to show anything unusual, but officials said a bird strike may have started the deadly chain of events causing the pilot to issue a mayday warning. investigators are searching for answers, but officials are saying it could take between six months to three years to complete a full investigation. charles? >> that was nbc's megan fitzgerald in london. th

megan casella reporting. >>> let's get a quick check on the markets. with the dow lower today. and this is with rising yields. the 10-year in particular, on data this morning showing more inflation in the import data. rick santelli is here from chicago with more. and we're up, what, about 25 basis points in the past week on the ten-year. >> oh, absolutely. you nailed it. and we will slowly get to that. but first, you really brought up something important. this week was about inflationary pressures have not abated and in many cases they've gotten warmer. when it comes to import, export prices, it gets murky. there is a lot of moving parts but i picked one in particular. this is year-over-year import prices going back about a year and you could see that we have definitely moved higher, up 1.3% today. the low that you see there on that chart happened to be in '22 -- '23 when it was down over 6%. so we have moved higher. and if you look at the two-year, and this is just today, we see how the yields have moved higher and there wasn't any real dynamics other than import/export prices
