A highlight from President Biden's trip to NATO Summit 2023
"Welcome to today's podcast, sponsored by Hillsdale College, all things Hillsdale, hillsdale .edu. I encourage you to take advantage of the many free online courses there. And of course, to listen to the Hillsdale dialogues, all of them at hughforhillsdale .com or just Google Apple, iTunes, and Hillsdale. Morning, glory America, Bonjour, hi Canada. Good Wednesday to you. I'm Hugh Hewitt in the Studio North. President Biden went to bed. That's my lead story. And you say, why is that a lead story? There's a lot of news going on. Former President Trump is picking a fight with Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds. We got a lot of John Kerry audio for those of you who want to go back to sleep. We've got questions about the Hunter Biden plea deal and whether or not Judge Mary Ellen Norika is going to do right. Well, Joe Biden went to bed. That's the lead story in the Telegraph. Biden skips NATO leaders dinner to, quote, prepare for a big speech. So, presidents tuckered out. All right. He's got to go to bed at five o 'clock because he's up at 6 a .m., which is not true. I go to bed early. You know, I got to get up early. If I sleep in, it's 5 15 when I get up. If I get up at the normal time, it's 4 30. But either way, I'm always on the air somewhere at 6 a .m. in the morning. 9 a .m. other places, 10 a .m. other places, 1 a .m., 1 p .m. other place. But I have to get up early. So I understand going to bed early. But the president flies all the way to England, which is like a three hour flight, right? It's not like he's gone around the world as Japan. He's got jet lag. You went to England from Washington, D .C. It's actually less of a change to go from Washington, D .C. to Denver. So he goes over to England and he gets completely lost with the prince. He's wandering around. And then the reports Telegraph Joe Biden skipped a dinner with NATO leaders last night to head back to his hotel in Vilnius. I'm sorry, not in England. He went on from England over to Vilnius. He went to dinner back to his hotel in Vilnius to prepare for a, quote, big speech. U .S. official blamed the 80 year old president's busy schedule on his absence at the gathering of the NATO alliance's leaders. Mr. Biden has spent the weekend at the beach before arriving in Sunday Europe on night, had Anthony Blinken, the U .S. secretary of state, attend in his place. That's going to be thrilling to everyone. I like Tony Blinken. I mean, I'd love to go to dinner with Tony Blinken. Very got a lot of good stories. You got every head of state there. There's a war in the middle of Europe. It's like going to the Tehran summit with Churchill, FDR and Stalin and FDR saying, let me send over Henry Wallace. I actually, Cordell Hall, I don't know who it was. And the idea that the president of the United States cannot stay up for a NATO summit isn't about time we had a talk with the president about just showing your cards. You're not running for reelection. There's just no way. You're 80 years old and you're feeling it. But let's give a listen to what he had to say yesterday. Cut number one. President Biden has arrived in Lithuania for the NATO summit. And he doesn't know where he's going. He's looking around. And if you're watching on the Salem news channel, you can see it. Whoever is the president of Lithuania is taller. Now he's turning around and wants to go back on the plane. Then he shakes hand and he moves forward. OK, cut number two. President Biden, Jan Stoltenberg, who is the leader of NATO and has been since I was seven. Keep going. Cut number two. Mr. President, it's great to have you here at the NATO summit. It's good to be here and thank you for continuing to deliver. I am, as I've made no mistake, not at all surprised. I've been telling the fact that I think it's really important at this critical moment in the whole NATO issue that you continue to lead NATO. You're trusted. No one knows the situation that we're facing better than you do. And this historic moment, the adding of Finland and Sweden to NATO is consequential. And your leadership really matters. And we agree on the language that we've proposed. OK, he's really sold on this Finland and Sweden deal. He's got that committed to memory. Finland and Sweden are coming in. Cut number three. This is consequential. And your leadership really matters. And we agree on the language that you proposed relative to the future of Ukraine being able to join NATO. And we're looking forward to continuing to unite NATO. They've heard me say, my American president heard me say many times, I still think that President Putin thinks the way he succeeds is to break NATO. Not going to do that, especially when you listen to us. So thank you for the moment. I am reminded of A .T., my beloved grandfather lived 101 years old on his own wheels in his own house. And I love the guy so much, Gramps. And he was a fireman, so of course I looked up to him like a giant when I was three or four. But A .T., as he got older, was always a go get him kind of guy. Didn't really, not very good on the details. Where are you? Are you at Yale? Are you at Columbus? You go to Ohio State? Not real long on the details, but great on the love, right? That's what grandparents after A .T. do. Not long on the details. They're at the baseball game. They're not sure if you're supposed to steal second or not. They're not even sure if it's a baseball game, but they're there and they're cheering for you. And Grandpa Joe is just great. He's there for Jan Stoltenberg. But it gets a little bit worrisome when he tells the Lithuanian president cut number four. Our pledge to to be with you has not waited. It didn't take us long to get thousands of troops here to want Russia invaded the second time. So we'll be able to be assured that you're going to have all that you need. If you have sector defenses today, you can send him along. It's all kidding aside. All kidding aside, that's after he jokes about Russia invading Lithuania.

Russia says drones lightly damage Moscow buildings before dawn, while Ukraine's capital bombarded
"A rare drone attack in Moscow has caused light damage and forced evacuations. It's the first time residential buildings have been struck in the Russian capital since the war in Ukraine began. The Russian defense ministry says 5 drones were shot down and the systems of three others were jammed, causing them to veer off course. Moscow's mayor says two people have received treatment for unspecified injuries, but were not hospitalized. President Putin claims it's an attempt from Kyiv to intimidate Russia and that it's a clear sign of terrorist activities. Ukraine has made no direct comment on the attack. The Kremlin, meanwhile, has pursued its relentless bombardment of Kyiv with a third assault on the city in 24 hours. I'm Lawrence Brooks

US, Russia hold highest-level talks since Ukraine invasion
"The U.S. and Russia have held their highest level in person talks since before Moscow's Ukraine invasion. I spoke briefly with Russia's foreign minister Lavrov. At the G 20 conference in New Delhi, officials say Secretary of State Antony Blinken chatted with his Russian counterpart for about ten minutes. Their first face to face meeting in more than a year. Blinken later said he delivered a familiar message. And this war of aggression. And that the U.S. will back key as long as needed while working on a diplomatic solution. President Putin, however, has demonstrated zero interest in engaging and there were no signs of progress at the conference, which ended with the 20 nations unable to reach consensus on the Ukraine war.

"From savings. So we want to advise people and help them and remind them that in a rising interest rate environment. One of the few positive developments is the fact that higher yields are being paid on savings, particularly for people who shop around for the best rate. And emergency savings should be liquid, meaning that we can get out of it. They'll have to sell a house or investments to get to it. And those are the accounts where you can find the yields of three, four, and 5%. Okay. Generational trends. What are we looking at as far as the breakdown there? Broadly speaking, Thomas people who are earlier in their career and financial life trajectories are not as well established by almost definition and therefore they have less in order to savings of those who are more senior. Who are older and that had their careers and incomes established for some time are doing better with that. And there are some structural issues that have hindered the personal finances of younger Americans where more people have to pay for their retirements to save for their retirement as opposed to pensions being plentiful in the past, more people have to pay for higher education, whereas taxpayers help to shoulder that burden in the past. And so there are a lot of reasons why many people are struggling. And inflation is the short term or cyclical reason why they are as well. All right, well, it's good to talk to you.

NATO chief says Ukraine's ammunition use outstripping supply
"NATO sexy general Jens Stoltenberg warns that the alliance's ammunition stocks are running low because of Russia's war on Ukraine. The current rate of Ukraine's ammunition expenditure is many times higher than our current rate of production. Sultan urges Ukraine's Western Allies to ramp up their military support in the face of a new Moscow military push. The Russians are willing to send in those forces and take a high, high number of casualties. So for me, this just highlights the importance of timing. It's urgent to provide Ukraine with more weapons. Stoltenberg adds NATO sees no sign whatsoever that president Putin is preparing for peace. I'm Charles De Ledesma.

Why Is Nobody Saying the Word 'Peace'? Col. Douglas MacGregor Explains
"Is it that nobody in leadership is even saying the word peace, peace talks, peace negotiations? Why is that? Well, generally, if you think back to the beginning of this war, when the Russians went in initially, they went in in small numbers, they had strict guidance from president Putin and the Russian high command to frankly kill as few people as possible and do as little damage as possible. Because the expectation in Moscow was that when we saw that they were quite serious that they would not tolerate this dangerous threat in eastern Ukraine on their border, a threat that would inevitably include precision guided missiles, state of ballistic missiles from the United States, they thought that they have someone to negotiate with. It took them several months to come around to the understanding that this is a very little to do per se with Ukraine. This is an all out war to destroy Russia to destroy its government, to dismember it, to eliminate it as a major power. That's cause to see change in Russia that no one here in the west expected. And I think we decided well, you know, the Russians are weak. They weren't really serious. If they had been, they'd gone into Ukraine the way we went into Iraq, all of this has misleading. And now they're in the unfortunate position of having to admit they were wrong. Especially if you say, well, we need peace. The Ukrainian people need peace if this nation state is to survive, then you're effectively saying, you know, we were wrong.

"Is your market update. Let's get a check of global news now dug prisoners in the Bloomberg newsroom target. Hey Paul, Russian president Putin is blaming Ukraine's secret services for an attack on a key bridge linking Crimea and the Russian mainland. In Moscow on Monday there will be a special meeting of the Russia Security Council. South Korea says its military will strengthen security cooperation with the U.S. and Japan. This will include the deployment of U.S. strategic assets in the UK prime minister Liz truss plans to directly address her mutinous conservative MPs this week, the Sunday telegraph reports and aid to trust warning Tories that infighting will lead to a victory for the opposition Labor Party. Hurricane Julia hit Nicaragua's central Caribbean coast on Sunday the storm dumped torrential rains across Central America before and expected reemergence over the Pacific in Venezuela meantime 22 people have died due to heavy rains and mudslides 52 people remain missing, and two key closures along the Mississippi River have reopened. It's allowing a backup of more than 2000 boats and barges to be cleared earlier low water levels halted commercial shipments of agricultural commodities in the middle I should say of the autumn harvest that's a quick look at global news headlines, Brian. All right, thanks very much, Doug, ten minutes before the top of the hour it's time for our media review. Well, one day after Kanye West rejoined Twitter, the platform restricted and locked his account. A Twitter spokesperson said the account was locked due to a violation of its policies. West whose now known as yet started posting on the site late on Friday after he was suspended from Instagram for a now deleted post, both Instagram and Twitter deleted posts from the west that were criticized by some as being anti semitic. From the FT, the attack on the kerch bridge to Crimea stunned both Ukrainians and Russians with its scale and ingenuity. So it's not only left experts expecting or wondering who might have been responsible for this, but exactly how from a truck bomb to underwater attack to all kinds of other ideas. And military experts and analysts have put forward some theories on what caused the explosion. You can find that piece in the Financial Times you can also read it on the Bloomberg terminal. From the global times and new omicron variant has caused multiple infections in part of Guangdong province in China. It has been identified as sub variant BA 5 one 7, the first time the variant has been detected in China. And from Reuters, Nissan motor may consider raising funds to buy back shares from its partner Renault, it would be in an effort to lower the French automaker's stake. Bloomberg is reporting that Renault is open to reducing its stake in Nissan. The Japanese company has been pressing Renault to reduce its stake to 15% from 43% to draw it level with Nissan's share in Renault. And that is look at the media 8 minutes before the top of the hour. Paul. All right, thanks very much, Brian. We're joined by our next guest nah, Madrid. He is head of FX research at ANZ to talk about the latest on the markets and I just want to stop by zooming out really and looking at the big picture. We had strong non farm payrolls from the U.S. we've got CPI coming up this week and it was of course consumer prices last month that really set markets freaking out. What are you watching in terms of CPI and do you think it's going to change the narrative from the fit? Thanks for having me. I think what we saw in August was really the core goods side of things, which shot up. This month, again, we will be closely watching core good prices in this API data includes personal care. And I guess the key worry is about inflation expectations coming through. They should affect in effect to be really falling as import prices are coming down. Commodity prices selectively are also lower than they were before. Supply chain improving all the gradually. So I think we are watching that side of things. And then, of course, what's important with the earnings season around the corner is that the many companies which earn U.S. companies which earn their revenues overseas, what's the dollar impact to their P and L? How much translation risk is it going to be? It's definitely looks to be a little bit more higher than previous years. And because of that, will that price be passed through to the consumer? So that's something we were looking out for. We know the dollar is very strong. And there's always the possibility for some dislocations in markets. Some sort of financial instability. One of the things that we've been looking at is how a lot of countries have had to dip into FX reserves to support their own local currency. Is that something that is anywhere near close to causing a major problem or just not yet? Look, I think this period of dollar strength is a little bit different from earlier periods and earlier periods where we saw a lot of EM vulnerability. This time, if I may say it's a little bit different. I think the difference is really how developed market central banks have chosen to respond to these high inflation pressures versus EM central banks. Fed was a bit late to the game in raising rates. And by the time they started, many of these emerging markets enter banks had already started the hiking cycles. And as a result of that, when we look at year to date performance of the Aussie kiwi Euro versus the Brazilian real Mexico and the rest, you see that, in fact, DM currencies are somewhat worse off than some of these EM currencies for that reason because they took a head start. Yeah. One of the central banks, of course, with the most divergence against the fed is the PBOC. We do have the People's Congress coming up in China, however, are you anticipating any major policy changes there, particularly around COVID or stimulus that could potentially change the picture for the Iran. I'd like to say much at this stage and we know that the PBOC has been actively taken a variety of measures to support the remember. It's really

"The it's more likely that other countries, including the United States to be more willing to provide that kind of equipment and capability to Ukrainians. We've seen when we give them what they need, they're able to hold their own. They're able to inflict substantial damage upon the Russians, even though they're heavily outnumbered. In my own way of thinking of it, you could take a well trained, well muscled middleweight is going up against an obese, heavyweight. Can the middleweight hold his own under those circumstances that you give him that muscle in terms of the equipment? Then they're holding their own. So I think we have to give them whatever they need and try not to cross a line that's going to set in motion, a counterattack that will be simply designed to destroy Ukraine. Make a desert and call it peace. He's capable of that. And that's why the western world has to be willing to stand up and say these are unacceptable. You started a war. You're losing the war. That's up to you now to find a road in a pathway off. But we're not going to tolerate anyone using chemical biological or nuclear weapons. Finally, mister secretary, to put in a somewhat broader context, we have tomorrow president Xi of China meeting with president Putin and Uzbekistan. Apparently to redouble their friendship and their commitment to one another. How important is that to us the United States and to Ukraine and to NATO? Well, I think it's very important. I think over the years we tried to make sure that we didn't push Russia into the arms of the Chinese. They have been moving in that direction ever since we've been moving away from certainly from Russia, but also from China. A number of us have been trying to see is there any way we can look to China, which is second biggest economy in the world. They are a military power. I would put them in a not near peer. I would put them in the pier competitor category in terms of what they've invested in their military. So other areas that we can either cooperate, collaborate or confront if we have to, but I would want to explore what can we do together? Can we do something together on food security energy security? Pandemic cooperation. The health needs of the Chinese people and the United States. Those are areas we can continue to work with them. Or the other choice would be, we're just going to disengage. We're going to decouple our economies and I don't think that's a good idea, but I think it's worth us pursuing. I think that President Biden is going to try to pursue those areas that we feel we can cooperate and collaborate rather than simply say you're an adversary and we're going to confront you on each and every issue and made best country win. I don't think that's something we want to do. I don't think we'll have allies in the indo Pacific region that will support that. They want us to be a force in the region. They don't want us to try to force them to make a choice till they deal with China as a friend or the United States. They look the United States as a friend, but they don't want us to start action that's going to put them in a position of having to choose. They're in the neighborhood. We are not, and that's something that's always a concern on their part. Mister secretary, thank you so very much for spending your time today with us. That is former Secretary of Defense.

"Provocation by Russia. Well, that's what many who would be against this would say that Russia is going to view this as potentially the west even getting involved of what is going on in Ukraine. But for the most part, this is seen and is definitely publicly communicated by NATO members and especially the secretary general Jens Stoltenberg that this is a win. President Putin has never liked NATO and he wanted to weaken NATO. And now what he has is not just a stronger NATO with more defense spending and more U.S. troops on his on the Flank, he also has a bigger NATO with Finland and Sweden now going to be joining this alliance. So I think if anything, the west sees this as at a time of unity and that they should be doing this to make sure they are showing a force of strength against the Kremlin. And to that point and Marie, it's pretty remarkable just to think about only even a few months ago, there was discussion and a lot of questions about whether NATO was obsolete, whether it was even viable at this point now with the war in Ukraine happening the dynamic has really shifted in terms of geopolitics. Yeah, and you know leaders are saying that NATO has never been more important or yen sultan Berg said. It's never been this kind of alliance together. This is the most important we've seen this group since World War II. This sort of western alliance. So it's an incredibly important moment this NATO meeting in Madrid. It's an expansion. They're going to discuss how they're going to maintain this unity against president Putin and how they were going to continue to make sure also how they support Ukraine because later today really one of the most important meetings is going to be when leaders from NATO countries are going to be hearing from Ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky via video conference. It's going to be interesting to what he has to say. Yeah, I'm going to be listening to that conversation very closely.

oil that is the headline in John We just see moments ago the spike up from one 26 up to a one 27 and one 28.00 John would be a breach of the intraday high We're not there yet We haven't had that official announcement just yet according to our sources that will happen as soon as today and will happen without the participation of European allies So Anne Marie let's talk about that with crude at one 27 There was a consideration going into the weekend That the American administration if they were to make this decision they had to consider that if others did not participate they would be hurting themselves without actually hurting the Russian economy How does that calculus stack up this morning Emory Well I think the issue is is that any imports that obviously Russia would have been sending to the United States they'll find buyers now given how high price crude is potentially mostly to Asia right And you had Alexander Novak coming out and basically saying that yesterday he's deputy prime minister to president Putin but he is their chief energy diplomat He has run the energy ministry until he was appointed deputy prime minister He's the chief OPEC plus negotiator and he came out on Russian television yesterday with some fiery words almost threatening to use Nord stream one against the Europeans which is flowing every day to heat European homes but also saying if the United States and others refuse our oil we have other places to send them And likely other places to send them is going to be China which we even saw during the pandemic start to hoard fossil fuels In your world Anne Marie there will be a balance here of politics and the politics is basically let's go let's go Let's produce more oil And there's another side which says we have a long-term commitment to climate to ESG How will that play out in the next 24 hours Well this administration is going to want to emphasize the ESG part or the sense that we should be putting more money towards things like solar wind nuclear the technology that the United States has that could potentially mean less reliance on oil and not just foreign oil The United States is a massive producer on our own oil just to have a cleaner energy grid They're also going to have to walk a fine line right Because they are getting a ton of pushback from Republicans who say that this administration has not been welcoming let's call it to the fossil fuel industry the way the prior administration was and they are blaming the administration for the issues you have today when it comes to higher prices at the gasoline So that exact point and Maria has there been any discussion about having a meeting with those oil and shale producers in the United States with President Biden at some point in the near future I have not heard anything about a meeting the way we saw with potentially GM Ford or some other supply during the supply chain havoc when you had executives come in The president was flanked by them across these big tables But in my reporting I do know that there have been individuals in the administration talking to the shale patch talking to U.S. producers about this So it's not like there hasn't been communication That would be false I'm ready for anyone just chilling and getting crude right now one 24 on WTI up 3.9% Brent crude at one 28 up a little more than 4% the headline readers follows the president said to ban U.S. imports of Russian oil as soon as today They will do that without European allies In the last 24 hours we heard repeatedly from the Germans the finance minister the Chancellor no we will not participate We do not want to do that Now Anne Marie I want to be very specific about this in your reporting I think it's important to reiterate and go over again Is this just Russian crude or Russian oil products Russian energy products which one is it Because one makes up 3% of U.S. imports If you have repeatedly indicated the other is 8% which one is it Well at the moment John all I know is that the language is oil at this moment I'm not sure if that is going to include oil products right Because it is very hard sometimes to differentiate how some of these oil products actually look very close to one barrel of crude So we're still waiting on a little bit more details on that We should be clear And you are right Jonathan because it is a big difference 3% is hardcore crude 8% encapsulates everything All those other petroleum products which is a lot larger of a number than 3% But again we should repeat for days the industry is shunning these assets coming into America Refiners don't want it You have it's very hard to get ships to go get it You had shell this morning say they also will not buy on the spot market You can just see the industry is self sanctioning And now the administration is basically solidifying something that is already been happening for days in the physical market Very very true Anne Marie great reporting to you and the team down in Washington Thank you That Bloomberg exclusive then according to people familiar with the matter the Biden administration poised to impose a ban on U.S. imports of Russian energy as soon as today without the participation of European allies This is what the market looks like off the back of it Down a tenth on the S&P on the NASDAQ down a half of 1% Crude at one 24 on WTI by around about four percentage points Tom and Brent crude again approaching one 30 So the Europeans Tom not in the mix the ban Russian oil liquefied natural gas and coal this according to two people familiar with the decision the decision was made in consultation with European allies who of course as we know rely more heavily on the U.S. than the U.S. does on Russian energy So that's the situation An informal basis John the next technical breach for Brent crude is a one 31 print We're not there yet We did get that spike up near one 40 earlier but just for a brief shining moment We have a perfect guest to follow on from the work of Anne Marie Horton in Washington in London Leslie vinger Murray director of U.S. and America's program at chatham House as well Let's see I want to immediately go to the special relationship which is Great Britain and the United States will prime minister Johnson can he should he join President Biden in this kind of blockage of Russian hydrocarbons I think prime minister Johnson will wish to do.

Global news 24 hours a day other than Bloomberg quicktake powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than a 120 countries In the newsroom among Denise Pellegrini this is Bloomberg Your listening to balance and power with David Westin on Bloomberg radio I'm Joe Matthew in for David Weston this week Still to come this hour fed chair Jay Powell facing tough questions from Congress about how the Central Bank will control high inflation We'll talk about it with former national economic council chief economist Joe lavone But first Texas governor Greg Abbott fended off a primary challenge by shifting his focus to the culture wars on the edges of the Republican Party's right-wing and setting up a potential test of the GOP strategy nationwide I caught up with Bloomberg government's elections expert Greg giro for his breakdown on the results and the biggest surprise Well I think the headline immediately after the primary was that two U.S. House members who failed to win a majority of the vote in their primaries were thrust in a runoff election That will be held in May They are Democrat Henry cuellar and Republican van Taylor but in a major development since then van Taylor who's a two term Republican in a Marine Corps veteran from the Dallas suburbs abruptly ended his campaign and is not competing in the May runoff which into which he was forced to winning less than 50% of the vote against four opponents It was a pretty grisly story about him Is that what happened Yeah yeah He was already struggling to win a majority in that primary in part because his opponents questioned his loyalty to Donald Trump but that race was rocked by the congressman ending his campaign after acknowledging Wednesday afternoon the day after the primary on Tuesday that he had an extramarital affair so the shocking development in effect hands the Republican nomination to the second place finisher in that primary Incredible Henry cuellar though a fixture in politics in Texas couldn't get it done He's going to a runoff as well That's right Henry cuellar is a longtime moderate blue dog congressman in a broader district that includes Laredo part of San Antonio And he was in a rematch with Jessica cisneros that progressive immigration lawyer and a former intern who was backed by politically liberal organizations and by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and what was a rematch of a 2020 primary that queer won by four points This one was closer in cuellar failed to reach a 50% plus one than about 48% of the vote cisneros about 47% and then a third candidate whose views are much closer to cisneros as than to cuellar is good about 5% So if cisneros can coalesce that vote the progressive vote in the next 12 weeks she has a good shot of unseating Henry on that runoff in May That would be a big deal How much of an impact did Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have in these races Yeah it's hard to say It clearly she's a big draw for the progressive groups I believe cisneros campaign probably thinks that she's clearly a big draw for the progressive left and she's certainly a big name in democratic progressive politics Hard to say how many votes she moved on her own but she is someone who is going to get your campaign media attention and probably probably some campaign bucks as well I suspect that Congress McCoy are having the FBI raid his campaign office and his home did not help his outcome That's right it's very possible he was weakened by that FBI searching his home and his campaign office in late January So just weeks before the vote it's part of a probe We don't really know much about but yes you can have a tough time trying to win that runoff given he just won about 48% of the vote And if as I mentioned if cisneros can coalesce that vote if she can win the votes of the candidate who came in the third place she has a very good chance of being raised to a Henry court That's going to be a race to watch May 24th It's already on Now the race for attorney general I realize this is we're getting a little bit more local here statewide but also extremely important with the future of the Bush name kind of on the line here in.

"Still on fettered economic sanctions broadening around the world and commodity inflation following A lot of concerns right now about how various governments can insulate their populations from some of the ripple effects from this Joining us right now is Wall Street week special contributor Larry summers Harvard professor and former treasury secretary and Larry I do want to start off with the Treasury Department and some of the sanctions that we heard from earlier this week out of the treasury and whether the moves that the Treasury Department has made right now are enough Look I think they're taking constructive and appropriate steps I think they've done more damage to the Russian economy more quickly than most people would have expected You've got pervasive bank run type phenomena going on in Russia So they're delivering a real jolt to the Russian economy and they're delivering a real jolt especially to those close to president Putin What that's going to mean for the orders president Putin is giving is anyone's guess That we would see the kind of attacks on nuclear power plants risking a Chernobyl style meltdown that we've seen over the last 24 hours is shocking And I don't think anybody can be certain what is in president Putin's mind and that makes this such a dangerous situation But I think we have to be proud of the way the United States has been able to mobilize and alliance across Europe indeed in alliance and across the world to respond to this situation more quickly and more vigorously and with more unity than almost anyone would have expected And that's the response now coming out of the U.S. of course this does make the job a little bit harder for Jerome Powell and the policymakers at the Federal Reserve We heard from Jerome Powell this week on Capitol Hill He did basically say that they're keeping an eye on the situation in Ukraine but at least in his words he doesn't think that that's going to derail the playbook that the fed has already laid out Do you anticipate that Look I'm not going to speak for the Federal Reserve I think the fed had a very hard problem because it was behind the curve On inflation beforehand and now this major adverse supply shock in the form of higher oil higher commodity prices generally which by the way should not be blamed on what we are doing It should be blamed on what president Putin is doing That's going to make the task of engineering a soft landing that much more difficult for the American economy So I think the employment risks and the inflation risks are very grave Right now and it's going to be a very delicate task of policy to try to contain inflation while maintaining stable economic growth It's possible that the fed will be able to pull it off but there are very substantial risks on both sides on the inflation side And on the cyclical downturn side Well I guess that's the question that when you look at the additional inflationary pressures that have basically been added to the equation over the last couple of weeks here is monetary policy an effective tool to tamp that down Monetary policy is an effective tool but it may not be an effective tool without engineering a slowdown In the economy The last stock plot has the fed.

Biden Administration Defends Not Sanctioning Russian Oil
"Now, Jen Psaki defended not banning Russian oil, listen to this. Yes, and I think I do know what you're trying to say. Well, our objective and the president's objective has been to maximize impact on president Putin and Russia while minimizing impact to us and our allies and partners. And I know you've heard me say this a few times before. But we don't have a strategic interest in reducing the global supply of energy. And that would raise prices at the gas pump for the American people. We don't have a strategic interest in reducing the supply of oil and gas. So does that mean we have a strategic interest in increasing the supply of oil and gas?
Mark Levin
Jen Psaki Pins Rising Gas Prices to Putin Rather Than Biden
"But here's Psaki Why are gas prices going up And keep something else in mind It used to be that the de grocers that the marxists were brag about the fact yes we're going to drive up the cost of fuel Remember Obama we're going to drive up the cost of electricity We're going to drive up the cost of coal Because we do not want Americans or America using these sources of energy anymore So yes we want the price of a gown and gasoline I remember when they used to say 8 to $10 like in Europe So they're succeeding No I'm sure that what's going on in Ukraine is somewhat contributing to this But we've created the situation where it can contribute to it That is it doesn't have to Here's Psaki today at The White House go The reason why the price of gas is going up is not because of steps the president has taken They are because president Putin is invading Ukraine And that is creating a great deal of instability in the global marketplace So on top of everything else she's an economist

John Kerry More Concerned With Climate Change Than Ukraine
"John Kerry, the representative climate change representative for Joe Biden is worried that the war could distract from climate change. I'm very concerned about concerned about Ukraine because of the people of Ukraine and because of the principles that are at risk in terms of international law and trying to change boundaries of international law by force, I thought we lived in a world that had said no to that kind of activity. And I hope diplomacy will win. But a massive emissions consequences to the war, but equally importantly, you're going to lose people's focus. Emissions consequences to the war. The lose certainly big country attention because they will be diverted and I think it could have a damaging impact. So, you know, I think hopefully president Putin would realize that in the northern part of his country, they used to live on 66% of a nation that was over frozen land. Now it's thawing. And his infrastructure is at risk. And the people of Russia at risk. And so I hope president Putin will help us to stay on track with respect to what we need to do for the climate.

Bloomberg business flash Thank you so much Charlie pellet As all of us watch what's going on in Ukraine with horror many are asking what could be done What can the United States and other Western Allies do to try to support the forces of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people as they really suffer under the attack from Russia Well one of those who might have an idea about what Congress could do is democratic congressman Steven horsford of Nevada He is a member of the House armed services committee The budget and also the ways and means committee congressman Thank you so much for being with us really appreciate it We are hearing today at least from some quarters there should be some form of emergency legislation whether it's a kinetic armed support in terms of armament going in or a humanitarian relief Is there any move in Congress to do something right away Thank you first for having me on and absolutely we stand with the heroic defenders of Ukraine and pray for the innocent civilians who are in the midst of this unprovoked war from president Putin My condolences go out to the family that have lost their loved ones and as the member of the armed services committee we are monitoring developments closely We have the United States has already provided a historic amount of defensive aid to your Ukraine over the past year approximately $650 million And while there is a request and discussion for additional aid that $650 million is already there we actually just received a briefing last night from secretary blinken and secretary Austin as well as secretary of the treasury Janet Yellen on the current status and what more they are doing and the requests that they will be making to Congress There's one possibility of supplying armaments further arms as you point out a lot has been supplied already to the forces in Ukraine What about the humanitarian side Whether it's in Ukraine or for the refugees that we understand will be pouring across the border into adjacent countries Well clearly that will be a priority Women and children in particular which is always part of the values that we have as the United States And this is something that only president Putin he is the he is the person who is the aggressor here He can still change course and I know that there are efforts underway right now with NATO and our other allies to put pressure on Russia to take a different approach and in this war While we have you and I want to turn in a moment to the Supreme Court pick but before that where are we on the budget Don't we need to get a budget Absolutely Approved a continuing resolution through the 8th of March There is a bipartisan framework agreement for the appropriations budget process Which is my understanding will be acted on when we return in the coming weeks So you're hopeful we'll get something by March 8 What we have to because the CR expires on March the 8th and there's an agreement of bipartisan agreement between the Senate and the House on the appropriations for the full funding of our federal government that I believe will last throughout the remaining portion of 22 And finally let's turn to that Supreme Court pick today from President Biden We heard earlier in the day about judge katon G Brown Jackson Being the nominee for President Biden were expecting to hear from him at the top of the hour of about 23 minutes from right now You're in the house not to send us You don't get to vote on this one but I'd love your thoughts Well look this is a historic day And as the first vice chair of the congressional black caucus this is something that we have advocated for with President Biden actually today is the two year anniversary to the day when majority whip Clyburn called on then candidate Joe Biden to make this historic nomination Judge kanti Brown Jackson will be the third black Supreme Court Justice The first nominated to the Supreme Court in more than 30 years Only the 5th woman and most historically the first black woman to serve on the United States Supreme Court So the CBC will is laser focused on ensuring that she receives a full and fair hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee and we fully expect judge Jackson to be confirmed without delay I think there's a broad consensus in this country at this point that diversity and inclusion is an important thing in all sorts of places including the workplace including schooling Why is it important in the Supreme Court in your judgment Well it's based on the fact that it's reflective of the diversity of our country And the fact that a black woman has never served in our nation's history is something that we are about to change It's historic but not only is it important from the diversity Jackson is immensely qualified She has delivered more than 600 opinions She has a stellar judiciary tenure that demonstrates her capability to serve as a fair impartial jurist with a clear commitment to equal justice So clearly she has served on the District of Columbia circuit since 2021 and she was confirmed by the United States Senate not just once but twice in the last time with three Republicans who supported her nomination to be confirmed to the circuit court So again the congressional black caucus is excited We are pleased that President Biden made this choice after a rigorous process and we are a 100% behind judge Jackson and will do everything we can to push for her fair and impartial confirmation process in a timely manner And she is by the way a former Supreme Court clerk which is not a bad credential either In my experience But one last question here race has played a very large role in this country for hundreds of years but particularly over the last year 18 months given some of the awful incidents we've seen What do you expect the racial issue to be in the upcoming elections in November Well I think that the issue is more around equity and ensuring that we're creating opportunity for everyone opportunity in jobs opportunity for education opportunity in access to quality healthcare And that opportunity must be affordable and accessible to everyone.

"This Bloomberg business flash Thank you so much Charlie pellet German Chancellor Olaf scholz travels from Kyiv to Moscow today continuing diplomatic efforts to ensure that Russia does not further invade Ukraine even as president Putin has insisted he doesn't have current plans to do so To take us through the crisis and the latest developments welcome now Melinda herring She is deputy director of the Atlantic council's Eurasia center So thank you so much for being with us First of all let's start with the news from today We've now had a news conference with president Putin of Russia and the German Chancellor Olaf Schultz What did we learn from that Are we making progress with president Putin Hey David it's great to be here with you So today is a big day We woke up and it looks like Vladimir Putin is starting to deescalate We don't have confirmation on that yet But most analysts in the United States were expecting tomorrow Wednesday the 16th to be game day for Vladimir Putin to roll his troops in to attack Ukraine once again So this was a surprise when we all woke up and he's starting to pull back It's good that Schultz is doing this diplomacy macaron tried it last week But they don't deserve all the credit It's too early to start giving out awards And this crisis is not over So it looks like my best guess is that Putin is pulling back some of his troops and he is going to keep upping the volume when it suits him So he's pulling back so we forget about this story and then once the west in the world have forgotten about it he's going to increase pressure on Ukraine once again He's not going to let Ukraine go I know that your viewers are sick of the story The media has been focused on it since November but it's not going away Yeah and just to be precise as I understand it We don't know that he's pulling the troops down yet Jens Stoltenberg the head of NATO said they haven't seen that yet They've said they will and we don't know how many either That's exactly right So there is no confirmation They've made a promise but you know what a lot of your Putin is also said that he's not going to invade Ukraine again So let's wait and see That's the right response with Putin Well let me ask another question obviously very related to this The Duma as I understand has now passed a resolution calling on president Putin to recognize parts of dumbo as a separate from Ukraine What is that about Is that something the president Putin wants to do Does he want to basically annex the dome bus He occupies it But annexing is quite different Yes so they occupy 7% of the Don boss It's a little piece of it The Dunbar we're talking about two oblasts So an American terms two provinces of a state is how I look at it in American terms And they occupy two big cities out in eastern Ukraine and they've done enormous damage billions of dollars in damage since 2014 with the hostilities out there So do they want it What I think they're trying to do So I think Putin is going to deescalate some It's a question of how much he's going to deescalate and he's going to increase political pressure on Ukraine to capitulate at the negotiating table So what does Putin want Putin wants to stop the westernizing drive in Ukraine And there's a number of ways he can do that But he's trying to force Ukraine to renounce its NATO aspirations And he hasn't been able to do that So one of the pressure points he has is the Don boss and he's able to turn up the pressure there as he wants So what I think he's doing with the Duma is they may try to annex these little chunks of eastern Ukraine There's a number There's several 100,000 people in these places that have Russian passports Putin can always use that as a pretext He's used this is a pretext before We have to protect our Russian speakers in Ukraine That was a pretext we've heard multiple times So that's a possibility but I think what he's going to try to do is cause a political crisis in Kyiv by trying to annex the Luhansk people's republic and the Donetsk people's republic That's what he's after right now That's the latest game If the annexes of this is going to make technical if he annexes Donetsk and Luhansk they're no longer part of Ukraine So how can he put pressure on cue Doesn't he need to be part of kids so that part of Ukraine is going a different direction So Ukraine is not going to let those places go right Ukraine Ukraine has said even though Russia has annexed illegally annexed the Crimean Peninsula it's still ours If we're going to fight for it And the same is true over the people's republic of Luhansk and danez You create never conceded right That's where the tension is What is the shape of the Ukraine government right now I mean there have been issues with Ukraine government for some time You've written about my others have corruption things like that How firmly is it control in control of Ukraine Volodymyr zelensky is in charge Volodymyr zelensky came in as an inexperienced president And I think a lot of us underestimated him He has a sharp critic of him on his domestic reforms I would give him an F for what he did last year But on the war side he has been fabulous He is telling people to stay calm and he's maintained a stiff upper lip He has not gone into the bunker He goes out He encourages people and tomorrow is national unity day and at 10 a.m. he's called all Ukrainians to come out and sing the national anthem I think that looks like real leadership Do we have a sense about whether the threatened sanctions have made a difference for Vladimir Putin at this point So a lot of people think that the combination of deterrence and sanctions has convinced Vladimir Putin to step down I think that we're going to hear this over and over again We don't know And I think we should be honest about that So the current package of sanctions that the west has on Russia for what it.
The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
Has Germany Basically Left NATO?
"Last question on this subject, senator Ernst, it seems to me like Germany has left NATO. De facto left NATO. What do you think they're doing? Well, Germany is concerned first and foremost only with itself and its own people. And understanding they do need energy resources. And they are becoming much more dependent upon Russia. But we have allowed that to happen. We did not put sanctions on Nord stream two. When we should have. We did not slow that process down. President Biden has actively been out there lobbying against Nord stream two. Sanctions. So, unfortunately, Germany, they once again will be on the losing side of an incursion or invasion. Should this happen? Germany really needs to stand for Ukraine, because again, if president Putin comes in, takes Ukraine, tries to rebuild that old Soviet Union. Germany is right on their doorstep.

"Words but a series of actions including arming with defensive weapons a Ukrainian gorillas that is going to get Putin's attention And finally again I wonder if you just pointed to something that might actually be really the threat to president Putin which is not military threat Not political in that sense but rather having an elected government in Ukraine that was successful Is that in itself potentially a threat to president Putin Yes I mean partially successful Let's understand that there is still too much corruption in Ukraine and that was always a problem But poor shanko and the current government are not Putin puppets That was true before Poroshenko was elected And what's going on in Kazakhstan which I mentioned earlier is the public rising up to higher energy prices which was not anticipated to be a national uprising And now the Kazakhstan government is shooting on site and this whole thing is a mess but I think this is pretty desperate to play by Putin who has troops there now because if for some reason the government of Kazakhstan falls maybe that's a harbinger that non democratic puppet states or mostly puppet states of Russia are pretty fragile And I'm sure that's the message he doesn't want to receive And we do have relationships with classic sand Let me be clear especially there are some U.S. and U.S. related energy companies in Kazakhstan But I think our interest there is in maintaining some semblance of democracy and supporting the people of Kazakhstan who want a reasonable and free government Jane it's always such a treat to have you with this Thank you for your time That's Jane Harmon She's the author of insanity defense Coming up we.

otherwise that may be preliminary to some forceful action taken by Putin Putin again denied that practically overnight And that's something obviously we have to take into a consideration Although Putin's credibility is very low with the United States and the relationship between the two of us has reached a down point This isn't the only problem that is out there There are numerous others that I think are very very significant And the notion that we might take action either preparatory to or consequent pawn any Russian movement in the direction of eastern Ukraine is something that is real but gets us into the beginning of a position in which the issue of war and peace becomes much more salient and a much more difficult and much more determinative And I think neither leader really wants that It doesn't suit in effect the ambitions of either leader to make that happen although Putin has been driving this in a way that clearly wishes to use the force and effect of his drive to see if he can achieve something including as you're very able reporters said from The White House perhaps something that would delay or postpone or put on a shelf for an interim period of time Any Ukrainian membership in NATO My own view is that the U.S. will not back down on that That's very true But I'm not sure the U.S. will have the full support of the European group inside NATO for moving in that direction And that is something the president has to take into account in the calculus here Picking in the long and sometimes troubled history of relations between the United States and Russia and United States the Soviet Union for that matter has there been an instance in the past where use of U.S. sanctions has actually changed the behavior of Russia Is there anything we can learn from the past here I think one could make the case that over the long term perhaps things like in Afghanistan it was in combination with other things The inability of the Soviet Union to win the ability of the United States to introduce new weapons systems particularly shoulder held surface to air missiles to combat the capacity of the Russian helicopters that made a change in the situation but it is true that I think most observers who look closely at this question believe sanctions have more bang than bite if I could put it that way I bet you're picking one of the things that's being talked about at least by reporters right now is the possible sanctions with respect to the pipeline the Nord stream two pipeline At the same time we have a Western Europe right now is very concerned about getting natural gas for the wintertime Is that an effective threat or Vladimir Putin say go shoot yourself in the foot Well I think it's less than effective but not totally put it this way irrelevant One thing that I think we should think about for the little longer term is whether an effect U.S. production through fracking of both oil and gas could be made available to our European trends in allies at a pricing mechanism which would not reward if I could put it this way The other oil producers but put them in a position to see a downward drive and they could only combat this in their own economies by making more oil available which would further reduce the pressure if I could put it this way of oil prices And that would hurt mister Putin since he depends for his budget on having high priced oil available Ambassador Pickering I have not been in the room but you have my impression from reading about other diplomatic engagements is you don't necessarily wrap it all up in one meeting The question is what do you keep alive so you can come back and have a second meeting have more discussions either at the top level or among the functionaries below the presidents You're entirely right David This is the time now for pressure But there will come a time if we.
