i can see if opac or opac plus countries decided they would go forward and get rid of those productionthey have in place that he was talking about being suspended until april, if the prices fell substantially, i would hope they would talk a little bit potentially about putting more back in the spr. that could create a measure of support. we will see if that happens. to me, that is a potential area of stability that we have not mentioned yet. >> yeah. i think the idea that gas prices are lawyer -- lower is good for the consumer, stressed out for higher inflation. if we have low gas prices that's going to help. a lot of these energy companies think of chevron,their breakeven rates are lower, $30 a barrel depending on the company. we don't need oil prices to go higher for them to be profitable. they have to become so much more efficient. it's a good thing for the consumer. it can continue to be a good thing for the energy companies. i think it would be a bigger part of the story who is the largest importer of oil. we actually pointed out they use a lot more ev's, so less damage toward oil

. >> as long as he's using opacity to mask everything he's doing.perplexing and trump is always perplexing when it comes with these bold theatrical statements when he wants to take over greenland and greenland is not under u.s. control and it's unlikely that he will get the canal back to the united states. that is unlikely to happen, as well. it is hard to discern his goals when making statements like this other than the shake of the new cycle and that convincing people that is acting in america's best interest. >> policy arcs via social media is probably what we can safely say. tim o'brien, thank you so much. good to talk to you. >>> he is sorry, but not taking responsibility. what to take of what vladimir putin said on a phone call earlier today. stick around. and locks in moisture to provide soothing relief. a nose in need deserves puffs indeed. america's #1 lotion tissue. >>> right now, president biden taking his final vacation before leaving office. expected to return to the mainland on the 31st where you will celebrate the new year and prepare

and i'm thankful to you for not trying to fog it over with some euphemism, some opacity, that would not tell the american public what they need to know. what congress needs to know in order to support the secret service to do your mission of no-fail. so i thank you for that. i want to talk as quickly as i can around advance pre-planning, the day of, and line of sight and snipers. countersniper by secret service as well as local esus. so, for example, at the last hearing, i had the chance to talk with butler township police department patrolman drew blasco. he testified that during the july 11th walk-through, he told three secret service agents from the pittsburgh field office and the donald trump detail that the agr complex was a vulnerability. some of the vulnerabilities he spoke about was the ability of people to get down on the ground. i don't think he spoke specifically as to the roof. but the fence line, that chain link fence line over to the fairgrounds, that it was see-through, frankly, and that the opacity -- the failure of making that opaque. i think there was some discussion o

i agree with you that the most frightening part is there is a molecule of opacity that we don't knowey publish it every day all day. we get to see what they are uncovering in real time we get to see you get to see it -- all the things. that a sound government should work. the entire current administration hallmarks that we never knew what was going on. the 50 sources that came out in "the wall street journal" absolutely explosive expose frankly. some of them are named in terms of who was filling in for the big guy. many weren't. you're absolutely right. he did read the facts. if he did, he would know for example about the nonviolent felonies, some of which were associated with murders. all it takes is reading the second half of the chargers to know the insurance fraud was connected to a triple homicide. all they are doing, these guys are flocking toward -- cannibalizing the puranas, the far side cartoon where they are flocking to the body and signing letters ever put in front of him. that is our current commander in chief. >> first lady jill biden reportedly wants revenge on the demo

you can't go back much further because after the big bang, there wasn't an opacity to the universe.s really very early days. we are getting to the very edge of capability for seeing anything. so pretty much everything that turns on the james webb and pointed in a new direction it is a new discovery and this is at the top of the list. they have found something that goes back even further in time, 250 million years. but this particular finding has really intrigued scientists because it offers them up a view of a really chaotic and yet also creative time for our universe. geoff: only 250 million years after the big bang? miles: is the blink of an eye. geoff: what does the firefly sparkle galaxy teach us about the early universe? miles: this is getting into deep origin ideas here. it allows us to imagine the very origins of where we come from. this idea, what was the big bang and how does the universe form. we are getting down to some really fundamental data which gives us some really clear answers as to how everything around us formed. it is an extraordinary moment in science. the are

and there is a lot like opacity of supply chains on purpose.o introducing due diligence legislation is a way to get at that problem, but also i wonder how much that can do as a particular example when there is a culture of not really caring and complication around, international laws and so that's been my too today. i love unionizing if i thought that it was easy and it i and i could achieve it i would be on that tip. hi. i'm wondering what you think of two other kind of models like memoirs. one is brooke shields is documentary and the other one is emily ratajkowski is book. what are what you think of those? yeah, i so i read all the ones i could get my hands on. so i have seen and read those. i, i thought they both were thoughtful and searching and vulnerable. um, something that i wanted to figure out in this book that i had not seen or i was like struggling with myself was how to tell stories about sort. i think is a story that we really like to hear about women being victimized in and how do tell that story where you are complicit and where

and i'm thankful to you for not trying to fog it over with some euphemism, some opacity, that would not tell the american public what they need to know. what congress needs to know in order to support the secret service to do your mission of no-fail. so i thank you for that. i want to talk as quickly as i can around advance pre-planning, the day of, and line of sight and snipers. countersniper by secret service as well as local esus. so, for example, at the last hearing, i had the chance to talk with butler township police department patrolman drew blasco. he testified that during the july 11th walk-through, he told three secret service agents from the pittsburgh field office and the donald trump detail that the agr complex was a vulnerability. some of the vulnerabilities he spoke about was the ability of people to get down on the ground. i don't think he spoke specifically as to the roof. but the fence line, that chain link fence line over to the fairgrounds, that it was see-through, frankly, and that the opacity -- the failure of making that opaque. i think there was some discussion o

so it's a perfect combination of the holidays, a change of administration, some opacity by the federalovernment about what's actually going on. and then i think a lot of people really not knowing everything that's in the sky and that's a problem. >> yeah for sure. all right. margaret talev always great to have you. thank you so much for being here this morning. all right. straight ahead here on cnn this morning, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu detailing a, quote, very warm conversation. he says he just had with president elect trump, plus nancy pelosi undergoing surgery after taking a fall on a trip abroad and support for pete hegseth growing after he has apparently said he'll release his sexual misconduct accuser from her nondisclosure agreement. >> he's given me his side of the story. it makes sense to me. i believe him unless somebody is willing to come forward, i think he's going to get through i want to be the greatest player that i could possibly become. >> halie torrrel want to know a secret more than just my armpits stink. that's why i use secret whole body deodorant

the big banks have had problems for years with what they call opacity, lack of transparency, secretivethe fed uses to conduct the stress test. they've objected to that and the fact they say that the fed did not require public comment for instance before implementing stress test, something they've said is not legal. interestingly, federal reserve is on to this. yesterday they put out a statement saying they do intend to make changes to the stress test to increase transparency and open for public comment. however, for the banks, i am told too little too latement banks want to ensure that the changes go through, so they are filing suit in the sixth district to try to ensure that the process of the stress test changes. it's unusual for many reasons. one, bank their own regulator, usually these get discussed, hammered out between regulators who have open dialogue with the banks but it was so many years of frustration and issues, it was running up against statute of limitations so they made their move and are suing. >> you said that the fed is, quote, on to this. >> not necessarily on to the
