sterling is all over the place. sterling has a lot to think about. the u.k. two-year, just moving a little bit. i think this is basically where the bond market saw things going. there is the possibility of 50 further down the road if inflation continues to accelerate to the upside. that is where i would look for my clues. sterling, so bouncy at the moment, and it has factor in the dollar as well. jonathan: good to catch up with you, buddy. looking at these forecasts, they see inflation peeking above 11% in october. gdp in the second quarter expected to fall to .3%. they say there is some upside risk off the back of the government package, the cost-of-living package. but, lisa, he put it together you have the prospect of inflation peeking at 11% or above, you have growth which is really tame right now, together with 125 on interest rates? i'm not sure anyone knows how to calibrate policy in this world. lisa: do you think this is a belief in the bank of england in transitory? that there will be a natural rolling over that will not come from dampening demand wit

sterling is downed. think sterling is in a very fickle position because politically there are a number of concerns. we have that northern ireland bill coming up. i think that's amplifying the political risk. we have that inflation expectation. we get gdp for april on monday as well. that is likely to represent the third month where we see zero or negative growth. the outlook is challenging. we are going back. i think there is -- i have a great deal of skepticism in terms of what is priced in and what is likely to occur. i find it difficult to see the bank of england following through to the same extent and magnitude. i think that is going to underline the fact that sterling is going to be another performer. alix: we complain about the cost-of-living increase care. over there, it is so much worse. it is so much more expensive to fill up a tank of gas. data says 77% of the u.k. population feels worried about the rising cost of living. what is the best trade to express that. elias: the inflation backdrop is

sterling just plunges. it's down to $1.26.isa: this has to do partly with the dollar that is reasserting strength. initially, there was a little bit of weakness but it's not a positive. i think we can say that for the rest of risk assets. when the dollar is strong, people seek safety and what they know. tom: our next guest will join us next week. it's tomorrow. i can keep track. this is important, i usually don't speak to anybody before the show. i'm so deep in my preparation but one of my people told me that the only reason kaylee could appear today was without a massive plug for crypto surveillance. that's at 1 p.m. business insider yesterday has scaramucci running the wine bar in davos. how do you approach the bitcoin game this afternoon? kailey: the faithful will always remain faithful but there are many people know rationing their faith in cryptocurrencies. even beyond the broader macro economic environment, there is also exacerbating factors in the entire space. the collapse of projects in stablecoin. tom: what is a stab

i just got a 120 print on sterling so what do you see.isa: a lot of this has to do with the dollar strengthening and chipping away the gains of the morning. we had seen stronger gains in their meeting the snp up 1/10 of 1% stop at that point, the rate fear is not over. tom: d tally and paper is moving up. this is a treasured moment, the st. louis fed and it will be good to speak to claudia som about her rule which is wonderful formula saying wait, let's look at jobs and guess the recession. we get away from the fed parlor game with real economics. claudia, the job market says there is no recession? >> that's correct, we have a strong job market and lots of demand for workers and lots of jobs. tom: do you see any indication of the market turmoil in the financial system could amend the job market? >> and financial markets and what the fed is doing in terms of raising rates, they both have the ability to depress demand and how much consumers can spend in the united states because they are the engine of growth and if they spend less, there is

i want to bring in this sound bite with gabriel sterling trying to compete with the deluge of trump'st was like a shovel trying to emptying the ocean. it was frustrating. i even had family members who i had to argue with about some of these things. i remember one specific attorney that we know that we showed him walking through this wasn't true, okay. i get that. this wasn't true. okay i get that. five or six things but at the end he goes i know in my heart they cheated. >> you're from mize ms. so i'm guessing you know people that were like those family members. i want commenting in the break and wanted you to comment on air is the reason why you don't have rp -- the reason why these hearings are so effective is because you don't have the counter narrative from like the screaming jim jordan. >> kevin mccarthy screwed up. >> he did. >> first they walked away from a bipartisan commissiony. the witnesses testified voted for trump. >> we want to establish. you wanted trump to win. >> all of them. >> with the exception of police officers, we don't know what they were, and shaye and her mot

sterling, mr.ffensperger, it depends on shaye moss and her mom, ruby freeman, to make sure that it is upheld even under extraordinary and difficult circumstances. and so whatever you think of mr. trump, and i can tell you i don't think very much, thank goodness that we have people who understand that the rule of law is only sustained by their good graces and their good will and good deeds. the law of gravity exists everywhere including in countries that have no rule of law and i'd hate to become one of those. >> ben collins, let me bring you in because you probably more than any of us on the screen right now know ruby freeman and shaye moss, you've done extensive reporting in georgia on this conspiracy theory that has affected their lives in such a deep way. i wonder when you heard that system from shaye moss and her mother in that taped deposition, what you think the key takeaways are and how this connects to the bigger picture as it relates to the disinformation beat that you cover. >> yeah, i th

gay brel sterling went to the public with that warning. he said that in december 20, 20. just before the january 6th attack. and just as rusty bowers was right in that press release earlier that month, gabriel sterling also was right. and he will be another one of the live witnesses tomorrow. and by that point in tomorrow's hearing, i think the committee will still have its unbroken record of every single witness they've called thus far being a republican and/or a conservative. but there's one other witness they're going to call tomorrow who i think breaks that mold. the last witness we're going hear from, from the committee tomorrow, we have no idea what her politics are, or her political affiliation and that's proper back, she's there in a nonpartisan capacity, she is to talk about being an election worker in georgia and a nonpartisan techno cratic ground level election worker and she therefore will be a totally different kind of witness than we'vees seen thus far fra the, from the january 6th hearing. and in terms of why she is there, you may not recognize her face but

because of that statement the dates early -- that davis sterling warned against. that is part of the danger. that's what these witnesses so probably communicated. the president of the united states, the most powerful person in the world can come down like a ton of bricks on people like ruby freeman, or andrea maas, then he can come down on anything. >> i am not going to comment on potential future witnesses at this point. i want to keep the focus on what we have heard today. >> are you laying out potential criminal charges against president trump? it seems that that's the way the evidence is leading towards right now, is that correct? >> our responsibility at the end of the day, that is for the justice department for decide. -- justice permit to decide. donald trump and his associates, i believe, engaged in a plot to violate multiple criminal laws. i leave there is ample evidence to open an investigation. whether or not they conclude that there is evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, that is up to the justice department. as we saw today, one of the things that is n

sterling in focus, the u.k. political risk story, with the headlines are on boris johnson and whether or not there will be that no-confidence vote, the pound currently at 1.25. brent gaining .8%, there are a few mixed stories around demand for oil. higher prices from saudi arabia when it comes to clients in asia. francine: all the sectors are in the green. we did have basic resources that was slightly in the red, like -.0001% they have now, turns to gains. the focus is on earnings going forward to ecb. we had big goldman sachs note expecting a soft landing for the u.s. i am mention a lot of the conversation this week will give impetus to a lot of these sectors, whether we can avoid recession out of the u.s., and whether the u.s. consumer keeps on being strong. francine: tom: mercedes gaining more than 1%, despite a report of a recall of a million vehicles on concerns of faulty brakes. hermes, just pulled out one of these luxury players for you, gaining .5%. the maker of things like niea moisture. around 300,000

gabriel sterling is a chief operating officer in the georgia office. mr. sterling was the statewide implementation manager for the 2020 election in georgia, responsible for leading the secretary of state's response to the covid pandemic and rolling out modernized voting equipment. i will swear in our witnesses. witnesses will please stand and raise the right hand do you swear upon the penalty of perjury that the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you god? thank you, please be seated. let the record reflect that the witnesses answered in the affirmative. speaker bowers, thank you for being with us today. you ought to speak -- your speaker of the arizona house and a self described conservative republican. you campaigned for president trump with him during the 2020 election. is it fair to say that you want to donald trump to win a second term in office? please. >> yes, sir. thank you. >> and is it your understanding that president biden was the winner of the popular vote in arizona in 2020? >> yes,

started with rusty who talked about threats he had received, then you heard gabe sterling talk aboutts to his employees, and you had brad raffensperger talk about the threats he received, his wife received, his widow daughter received, and then of course closing out with shea moss and libby freeman. their lives are ir revokably changed. they can't go out for food. it was one of the reasons since the insurrection that we have these rules. she just wanted to cast an american vote, and for that she'll be punished for the rest of her life. >> you say it's just a trial run. tell me more about what you mean by that. >> well, look, if those that were responsible for the threats, responsible for the attempts to overturn through fake electors and those slates are not held accountable, they may try to do it again. we're seeing part of the republican party that are candidates for office actually call out rusty bowers for being a traitor. we have candidates in arizona and we're seeing candidates for governor and secretary of state that are riding the big lie in the 2020 election, stolen election

reporter: sterling 2012, and a moment. >> i rber one of the most special moments in my life. gestapo du -- gustavo dudamel, and the simon bolivar chestra. >> it was a special and unique moment. ♪ reporter: but this was more than just a concert, it was part of an experiment. could music change lives? 10 years on, we have been finding out what has happened to the chdren. ♪ for instance, luis, here, he is now at the royal welsh college of music and drama. >> it was a major turning point. around the time of that concert, i was like, oh, you can actually do this as a job. reporter: violinist luc has just completed a degree in music. change your life? >> absolutely life-changing. yes. what would reporter: reporter: have happened without music? >> that's a good question. the answer to that question, i am not sure. it is a very hard question. reporter: and this little girl with the trombone? ♪ is simone hutchinson, now entering her third year at the rhode conservatory. this is where it all took place, over there. >> right there. reporter: did it change you? >> 100%. i was totally ins

shery: the focus is on sterling as well. did not do much, shrug off the no-confidence vote. >> not that big. it was small. he is in a very weak position. the reason you see the pound not reacting that much is there is very little sense at this point that it would matter if boris johnson left the post, and because this is not a policy or ideological challenge, it's about himself, his personality, if not like trying to get rid of margaret thatcher or theresa may, there is a sense now among conservative mps that boris johnson is not going to be trusted. there is no great thing they are going for. this is very bad for him, there is no obvious reason why you would sell the pound on the basis of it. haidi: to that point, we saw the pound holding some gains. is this ongoing instability, what does that mean for the market? >> it's a much more deeper problem, even though the u.k. government itself has a pretty pessimistic outlook, stagflation is running at a multi-decade high. as far as traders are concerned, they are watching the in

all of that means that sterling remains very vulnerable to further dollar strength.f the world went quiet, sterling would be one of the last currencies to bounceback unfortunately. it has short covering within the mix, but they have a real challenge, they will have to raise rates again today. the challenge is that given the mix between inflation and growth, the trade-offs they face is worse than elsewhere because of what has happened the last few years. tom: what do you do with the swissie at this point, do you position for hikes in the smb for may or next month? kit: we start to position long before we do for the euro, for starters. i would be surprised if they go today because they will not be a superstrong currency again. smb policy has been about not letting the swiss franc get two strong against the euro. yes, they are going to hike, they have less inflation but there inflation rate is taking higher. -- ticking higher. they are a small open economy, they are going to feel it some degree. it is hard to see how they avoid being a haven currency. tom: kit jucke on

ros: also speaking today is gabriel sterling, the chief operating officer for the georgia secretary ofte. he recalled personal threats he had seen on twitter at the time of the election. >> a particular tweet that was the straw that broke the camels back had a young man's name, a very unique name, a first generation american. it had his name, you committed treason, may god have mercy on your soul with a slowly staying gif of a noose. for lack of a better word, i lost it. i got irate. my boss was with me at the time of the deputy secretary and she could tell i was angry. i tend to turn red from here up and that happened at that time. ros: earlier on, we heard from a top republican eric -- in arizona. >> you are asking me to do something counter to my oath when i swore to the constitution to uphold it and i also swore to the constitution and laws of the state of arizona and this is totally foreign as an idea or theory to me and i would never do anything of such magnitude without deep consultation with qualified attorneys and i said 've got some good attorneys and i'm going to give you th

then you heard gabe sterling talk about the threats to his employees, and you had brad raffenspergers he received, his wife received, his daughter, his widowed daughter received. and then of course closing out with shaye moss and ruby freeman. and it was just a personal tragedy to hear their experiences. their lives are irrevocably changed. she can't go to the store, she can't use her name ordering food. it's one of the greatest tragedies, the efforts to overturn the election, that we have these threats against election workers. and she talked about just wanting to help older voters vote, like, what's more american than that? and for that, she's been punished and she'll carry that burden with her for the rest of her life. >> you say that the people behind this all should be held accountable, that an insurrection without consequences is just a trial run. tell us more about what you mean by that. >> yeah. well, look. if those that were responsible for the threats, responsible for the attempts to overturn through fake electors and those slates are not held accountable, they may try to d

warm, sterling in his testimony said that the onslaught of disinformation and conspiracy theories ase and his team tried to fight it, it was like trying to clear out the ocean with a shovel. the second thing was the specificity of raffensperger's testimony. he went into specific details about everything that he investigated, saying he investigated every element of the allegations that trump's team brought to him. >> they said there was over 66,000 underage voters. we found there was actually zero. they said there was 200,000 non-registered voters. we found zero. they said there was 266 felons. we identified 74 or less still in felony status. >> he detailed all of the allegations. he talked about the phone call trump made to him, pressuring him to find more than 11,000 votes. the committee today brought up the illegality of what we witnessed on january 6. the justice department needs to be paying attention to what they are presenting, but it's not just the justice department could bring criminal charges. the fulton county d.a. in georgia could very well bring charges herself against t

now the export of british pounds sterling to russia or euros via great britain will not be allowed.ere is jet fuel and it can be very important that the passat is on the ground or the landing materials for it will not be delivered now without them. it seems that russia will not be so easy. as everyone is affected by a package of these sanctions, but i'm not sure that putin is so worried about it, he may be wrong, he may be worried, but he thinks it's time to start, but he thinks that with the help of propaganda, on the one hand, it's a rover of terrible things, on the other hand, he keep control too early and even if she places it there several times even if you have to have a card system, by the way, there are such little people who do great things, the card system is already yours will your children be hungry or with this is today envious of your loyalty, then you are not it is very expensive to open up and oppose something political, i.e. such an izoverian, of course , perfect logic, but first of all, it is probably connected with the fact that putin's close entourage will defini

laura: sterling and his testimony said the onslaught of conspiracy theories pushed by trump as he and his team tried to fight it, it was like shoveling out the ocean. the second was the specificity of raffensperger's testimony. he went into detail about everything he investigated, saying he investigated every element of the allegations trump team brought to him. >> they said there was over 66,000 underage voters, we found that there's actually zero. there were zero nonregistered voters. they said there were 2,056 felons. we identified 74 or less that were actually still on felony sentence. every single allegation we checked, we ran down the rabbit trail to make sure that our numbers were accurate. laura: raffensperger detailed all the stuff about the allegations trump brought to him and how they were all false. he also talked about the phone call trump made to him, pressuring him to find more than 11,000 votes. a lot of law experts think that is enough to bring criminal charges against trump and his allies. the committee today brought up the legality of what we witnessed on january 6

the chief operating officer gabriel sterling told the panel he had become irate when election workers were threatened after trump made false claims about the results. one of them he said was threatened to be "hung for treason" after transferring election report to a county computer. republican arizona house speaker described how painful it was to have friends turn on him "with such rancor" after he refused to overturn bidens win and how a pistol toting man threatened his neighbor during protests outside of the home. form a majority election worker testified about the racist threats and death wishes she received after becoming the focus of a trump conspiracy theory. they write -- former congress -- adam schiff called the election results -- we will hear from the testimony this hour for those who testified yesterday. first to comment some adam schiff as the hearing got underway. >> the president's lie was and is a dangerous cancer on the body politic. if you can convince americans that they cannot trust their own elections and any time they lose it is somehow illegitimate, than what is

sterling among others had to address. mr. sterling, thank you also for being here today. following the 2020 election, in addition to your normal duties, i understand that you became a sports person to try to combat disinformation about the election and the danger it was creating for election officials, among others. in a december 1 press

we heard from dave sterling. we heard from brad raffensperger. they told the country with trump and his team were doing. and not enough people cared. do you believe this is going to break through now, this time? >> i don't think it will. i would be a little bit surprised if it did, partly because the big lie has continued on, even when trump team is largely abandoned that conspiracy, it has been taken on by their followers. just remember back, trump denying vaccines, then, he later admits that he had the vaccine, and he got booed. the same thing has happened with his supporters who believed the big lie. he can't go back on it now, they have to continue to pursue it. i think my biggest concern is over the rise -- we're looking a lot of trends that are very much about the breakup of the united states, to some degree. no election can be conducted without someone saying that some sort of fraud or some sort of criminal activity were behind it. separate sense of electors. and i think you're gonna talk about it later, what's going on in texas right now,

and gabriel sterling, the second witness, has testified. and that hall olivia talked about is so key. i listened to it. we've all heard that snippet, i need you to find -- it's 62 minutes long. olivia's right. when you listen to it, it is alarming. donald trump is browbeating brad raffensperger. he is attacking him personally. he threatens him. he says at one point, i'm telling you there's fraud, and if you don't do anything about it, you might be committing a crime. it is serious. it is frightening. and it reminds us that the people that stood up to donald trump, raffensperger, sterling, many others, these are state and local politicians, and they're republicans, and they said absolutely not. >> you know, and raffensperger survived politically. i think that is also an important thing about the political context of these hearings that, you know, they tried very hard, trump and his most die-hard supporters to take him out at the next election. he was thought to be just a dead man walking. and he won, and he won convincingly. so, there's a me

sterling, thank you also for being here today. following the 2020 election, in addition to your normal duties, i understand that you became a spokesperson to try to combat disinformation about the election and the danger it was creating for election officials among others in a december 1st, press conference, you addressed some of your remarks directly to president trump. let's take a look at what you said that they. >> mister president, it looks like you likely lost the senate -- where investigating, there's always a possibility, i get it, you have the right to go through the court. what you don't have the ability to do, any need to step up and say, this is stop inspiring people to commit violence someone is going to get hurt, someone is going to get shot, someone is going to get killed. it is not right. it's not right. >> mr. sterling, or prompted you to make these remarks? >> mister schiff, we had a previously scheduled press conference that day, as we were in the habit of doing, being as transparent as we get about the election
