was that a good decision in your opinion? pres. biden: look, the whole idea of walking away from fact checking as well as not reporting anything having to do with discrimination regarding dps, i find to be just contrary to american justice, american -- the way we talk about one another. tell them the truth matters. i mean, it's -- i know i'm on national television, but you are local reporters and national reporters. this is not a real question but what do you think? you think it doesn't matter that they let it be printed where millions of people read it, things that are simply not true? i don't know what that's all about. it's just completely contrary to everything america is about. we want to tell the truth. we have not always done it as a nation but we want to tell the truth, and the idea that, you know, a billionaire could buy something and say, by the way, from this point on, we are not going to fact-check anything, and you know, when you have millions of people going online reading this stuff, it is -- anyway, i think it's really shameful. >> do you regret your decision to run for reelection? do you think that made it easier for your predecessor to become your successor? pres. biden: i don't think so. i think i would have beaten trump, could have beaten trump, and i think that kamala could have beaten trump, would have beaten trump. it was not about -- i thought it was important to unify the party, and when the party was worried about whether or not i was going to be able to move, i thought, even though i thought i could win again, i thought it was better to unify the party and it was the greatest honor of my life to be president of the united states, but i did not want to be one who caused a party that wasn't unified to lose an election. that's why i stepped aside, but i was confident she could win. >> do you think she should run again? >> [indiscernible] pres. biden: well, i had a long talk with zelenskyy today. and i think that as long as we continue to keep western europe united as it relates to ukraine that there's a chance that the ukrainians can prevail because the cost to russia is incredibly high, over 600,000 dead or wounded, the koreans they brought in our having high mortality rates as well -- in are having high mortality rates as well, and i made it clear that i provided every bit of funding with the authority i have as president to be able to do that now and i know that there are a significant number of democrats and republicans who think we should continue to support ukraine. it's my hope and expectation they will speak up and not agree with the president if trump decides to cut off funding for ukraine. >> does the president-elect's position on the conflict influence your -- [indiscernible] pres. biden: the truth of the matter is, no, but if it hadn't, if those other conditions did not exist, it would have had an impact. i had already decided that -- putin is in tough shape right now and i think it's really important that he not have any breathing room to continue to do the god-awful things he's continuing to do, and as i said, he's got his own problems economically, significant problems economically, as well as politically, and so i decided to do everything i possibly could within my power and authority to give ukraine every advantage it could have to be able to sustain support for an independent ukraine. >> you said vice president harris had a good shot to be trump. do you think she should run again in four years? pres. biden: i think she's competent to run again in four years. that would be a decision for her to make. >> on venezuela, are the sanctions -- on the sanctions your administration announced today, some say they do not go far enough by not targeting the petroleum sector. why was this administration hesitant? pres. biden: that's still being investigated in terms of what impact it would have and whether it would just be replaced by iran or any other country. it matters what would happen afterwards. i had a long discussion again with the man who should be appointed president on that score and but since i didn't have a clear answer to what that would be, if i had more time, i may very well do that, but i didn't have enough data to make that judgment. >> if i could also ask about havana syndrome. today, the intelligence community assessment changed slightly, with two agencies saying there's an even chance this is being caused by a foreign adversary. do you think that? pres. biden: no. do i believe that isis's theology, if you will, has impacted people if you will, some, who are not well-suited to handle the life where they live. it has that effect, but i find no evidence -- i spent 17, 18 hours with the community right off the bat trying to determine whether or not there was any outside influence and, thus far, we find no connection between an outside player, individual, but that does not mean someone reading the malarkey that's going out there is not influenced by it. both these men, both in nevada and in louisiana, have been men who have had their own problems, but not because they have been influenced by a specific individual. >> my question is on havana syndrome. the intelligence community today, part of their assessment changed, saying there's now an even chance that the havana syndrome cases and incidents, that there's a foreign actor potentially behind them. do you agree with that? pres. biden: i don't have a full brief on that right now. i'm not going to comment on that. >> do you have an update on austin tice in syria and whether or not he's -- pres. biden: the answer is i'm not going to respond to that because that's an ongoing issue. you know my attitude about getting prisoners released from abroad and i'm not going to comment on that right now. >> one question on pardons and commutations. can you give us a sense of what of their pardons and commutations you are considering in your last 10 days? pres. biden: the answer is no because two things. one is that it depends on some of the language and expectations that trump broadcast in the last couple days here as to what he's going to do. the idea that he would punish people for not adhering to what he thinks should be policy related to his well-being is outrages but there's still consideration of some folks but no decision. >> have you decided what kind of role you will have post-presidency, sir? do you plan to speak out after you leave washington or will you follow more of the bush model where you're kind of out of sight, out of mind? pres. biden: i will not be out of sight or out of mind. >> thank you, everyone. thank you. thank you.

guest: were you in a union, a union hall? caller: the union is in my blood. i grew up in the rust belt. could you speak to the discontent? i was at a graduation party this summer with an 80-year-old fellow. he was a trumper. i asked this guy, do you know anybody that is not doing ok? he thought a minute and the guy said myself. i looked at him. he was just nice. he had a beautiful wife the same age. she had a beautiful -- she had beautiful jewelry on and a nice car and he was feeling good. he said he was one of those types. host: we will get a response. guest: how much time do we have left? host: we have the time. guest: to my earlier point -- thank you for the call and sharing. the reason i wanted to know about the union hall, someone wrote a book about the decline of union hall politics. the disconnect and breach between the democratic party and blue-collar workers over the past 30, 40, 50 years. deindustrialization was happening long before the 1990's and nafta and the wto. -- world trade organization. she went to the parking lots, the ones that are left, i

just a few blocks away from here on union street. union near central. that's where strong wind gusts brought down another tree. that one's about 40ft tall. let's show you the video from that. luckily, no one was hurt in that incident, but the person who lives there says both of the vehicles that he parked at his home were damaged when that tree crashed on top of them. wind gusts also caused more widespread power outages in alameda, an entire block near buena vista and clement street was in the dark for much of the overnight hours. it was located near this power pole that you see knocked loose by the wind. it was sort of leaning precariously over the street. police had to temporarily close down the street to have alameda energy crews stabilize the pole. people we spoke to this morning say that the strong winds last night, around one in the morning, in some cases, woke them up. >> it was howling and the trees were hitting against the. but i think what i heard was stuff knocking over on my porch. that's what kind of startled me. >> now, over in oakland, th

union representing 40,000 union workers on the east and west coast are due to start today. the longshoreman association arguing the threat to u.s. jobs. the two sides do not reach a deal by next wednesday, workers could go on strike and cnbc learned a secret meeting with the members of the association and the united states maritime alliance was held on sunday to try to find common ground on automation. for more, let's bring in neil bradley at the u.s. chamber of commerce. neil, good morning. >> good morning. great to be with you. >> neil, i don't know if you saw the developments with the quote/unquote secret talks. the dispute is automation and semi automation at the ports. do you have a view? >> it is needed. we are talking about basic technology. the basic technology we need to efficiently and safely operate a modern port. you know, we pride ourselves in the united states of having the best infrastructure and best businesses in the world, but we don't have a single port that's in the top 50 in global ports in terms of operations because the leadership of unionsthe ila keep opposing the introduction of basic technology into port operations. if you care about the price of goods, if you care about global trade, this is an important fight that's going on right now. it's really important that we have the flexibility to modernize our ports. >> i want to be clear, neil. you are talking about prices for consumers. are you saying that is inflationary? >> absolutely. it costs more to load and unload goods and services through our ports. the longer it takes and the more expensive it is, the more you and i pay for the goods we buy and more exporters pay for the goods they are trying to sell overseas. this is a lose-lose proposition. that's what this dispute is about. it is important the ila change its position and accept the idea that new technology can actually improve the quality of work for its members and make life better for all americans. >> we heard similar comments yesterday from the trade group for apparel and footwear. i want to ask the chambe

union in the united states. it is now remembered as of the most important presidential of at least the 20th and 21st century. in the speech seemed to predict that the soviet union would end up, and he is quoting trotsky here on the ash heap of history. he said that the cold war was a battle of ideas and that we were at a turning point, and that the west and democratic ideas would win almost no one believed he was right at the time. but within a decade, the soviet union did, in fact, end up on the ash heap of history. and many of the nations that had former that had formerly been allied with the soviet union in the warsaw pact, nations like poland or what became the czech republic. they became democracies applied and were admitted to the european union. and as quickly they could, they joined non-nato because they had experienced soviet. and the arms control agreements that reagan mentioned briefly in westminster. they in were negotiated the two most important arms control in the united states and the soviet union. then russia's history, a quarter century. the speech was celebrated at the national endowment for democracy. i know and organized action that was created in part because of the speech because of reagan's predictions had become so true. that's why the speech is considered to be among reagan's most significant speeches. according to one of reagan's closest advisers, edwin meese. the speech was especially important because. it functioned as th

he will listen to what the union and the union members, rank-and-file -- brian: but they have a different view than the union leadership and that's important. taylor: quickly counting you down about two hours until the closing bell. i wanted to point out, we were significantly higher this morning and then we got a few pieces of economic data. job openings are higher but quit rates aren't going up so employers are trying to hire. there was also a prices paid component within the ism data this morning that showed prices are the highest since january 2023, so all of this , brian, means the fed may not be cutting early next year. brian: yeah, inflation is not dead. charles payne very much alive and ready to make money. here he is. charles: they better not start talking about rate hikes, all right? jackie: oh, my god, bite your tongue. charles: yeah, thanks a lot, everyone. good afternoon, i'm charles payne. this is "making money" and breaking right now, so profit-taking and tech. by the way folks this is par for the course. but i'll tell you what's not par for the course the future is here and i could tell you,

unions lack of accountability. and there is a bit of a difference between the speeches we are given about a great european union for ultimately we find ourselves the strategic union of democratic countries with good values to counterbalance the americans, nato. and in reality, we still feel that they are not so democratic. we see it with romania. but above all, we remember the 2005 referendum, which was flouted on november 28th. they met in the national security council, which is chaired by the president and made up of ministers. they met, they decided that there was for an interference and that this candidate had to be investigated. and they discussed it based on a file and intelligence file. and in fact, it turns out that this file was created with the help of foreign services. so the interference ultimately was not even russian. the interference was rather western. so it's great to have you with us here on the see if you'd like to read more on any of those stories. do check a website or com will be back with more news updates in 30 minutes a . the no better place to be the village in the most beautiful features is purely anarchist in the sense that there are n

unions. to me the whole state is like a big skin, you know, they give money to the unions and then the unions it to them for their campaigns. happens all the time. >> will we know the union rank-and-file is the leadership we saw the brain to -- breakdown in the last election but on our way out here the "los angeles times" owner says now that it was a mistake for the paper to endorse karen bass. let's play this on the way out a quick thought from katelyn on the other side. >> at "los angeles times" we endorse catherine bass think that's a mistake. president trump in this election has understood that and has become democratic party in terms of addressing the problems of mn industry confidence absently matters. >> martha: how influential is not on her weigh out katelyn and thank you. >> it's my pleasure. by the way two mile-per-hour winds and my house in malibu this morning win i left so the santa anna's art here yet. >> martha: and talking about president-elect trump thank you very much let's go to that live. >> next week shortly after the inauguration that he comes and i also know in the confi

union halls, not just union workers but workers across the board whether you work at the nursing home or mcdonald's or a steelworker or whether building intel affixing a highway. all workers. we have to stand for them. we don't look like that party anymore. we are too corporate in the minds of far too many people. >> let's stay on this because i have thought about this a lot. it is fair to say the biden administration is one of the most labor friendly and pro- worker, i think the most i have ever covered in my career. that nlrb that issued the overtime rules, issued pro- worker rulings, particularly organizing and overtime, it didn't seem that anyone knew that. i guess my question is what your theory for why that is? having campaigned around the state with people who are assured in their politics and maybe the efficiency for the democrats are and they are not like us. do they stand for us? how do you understand how people know about weather democrats, the biden administration, are fighting for them? >> we need to be more aggressive and do it right then. i was talking to union activists during the campaign and after, and when we passed -- we fixed the pensions of 100,000 union workers in ohio and 1 million across the country. president biden will sign a bill tomorrow that i wrote with senator collins of maine. it will restore full social security benefits for a quarter of 1 million ohioans and millions across the country. we need to talk about those things when we do them. democrats because we believe government can make people's lives better, we pass something and move on. unions, talk to the members right away when we save their pensions or when we are going after republicans on protecting the right to organize. republicans are probably more -- they became more and more, they like to talk about workers but more and more the other party of billionaires. look at the proposed cabinet and the people for whom trump gets president elect trump gets advice. they are more the billionaire party. we need to point that out and point it out every day. the best example
