A Mega-Merger in Oil, Chaos in Congress, & NBA’s Iggy Swaps Courts for C Suites 10/23/23

It’s a merger Monday! Chevron is buying Hess for $53B in the second huge oil transaction in weeks. Becky Quick shares details on the deal from her conversation with Chevron CEO Michael Wirth, and Joe Kernen and Andrew Ross Sorkin consider the implications of the deal for the American energy ecosystem. Nine new Republicans have joined the race for Speaker, but no clear resolution to the legislative chaos has emerged. CNBC’s Emily Wilkins explains the situation in DC, and former Republican Ways and Means Committee Chair Kevin Brady joins former Democrat Congresswoman Donna Edwards to discuss the logjam and the leadership on the Hill. Plus, a special conversation with NBA star and author Andre Iguodala, who’s hanging up his basketball shoes after two decades on the court. He’s turning to his venture capital career full time, and he has advice for athletes looking to follow his lead: be obsessed.
