Details will be forthcoming, elijah represented marylands seventh Congressional District since 1996. He was just 68 years old. We are getting news from europe, britain and eu reached brexit dale, Boris Johnson tweeted moment ago, we have a great new deal, parliament should get brexit down on saturday so we can move onto other priorities, nhs, Violent Crime and environment. Boris johnson wrote this morning. Fox business Dagen Mcdowell, National Securitys corporation chief Market Strategist art hogan and fox business dierdre bolton, great to see, everybody. What a morning, your reaction to the news this morning . European Committee President has posted something, where theres a deal, theres a way, we have one, it is a testament to our commitment to find solutions, so that is very magnanimous. Maria looks like brexit is happening. Something that we needed to hear this morning but also getting one of the biggest market impediments behind us, in large part think about how slow economy has been, you take it for granted, this is coming as a bit of a surprise. Dagen eu, 27 leaders and European Union and british Prime Minister must approve this at summit over the next 2 days in brussels, then it goes Britains Parliament which has rejected 3 times in previous deals negotiators by mr. Johnsons predecessor, theresa may. This is number of hurdles but certainly god news. Maria this has got to be good for the banks because the banks have headquarters, sitting on cash waiting to see what would happen here amid the uncertainty. Dagen pound is jumping as well. Up 1 against the u. S. Dollar. Also good for tech community, tech companies, American Companies that have headquarters in ireland, significant businesses in ireland, this is the irish backdrop deal, one of the bigger Sticking Points, both sides have come to some sort of agreement as to how to handle Northern Island being part of uk and southern ireland. Maria we dont have news on a deal just yet, i assume that comes soon, details there. That was what was the Sticking Point. The hardest to have hurdles to get through, the Financial Centers of the world, their times between asia and the United States, extremely important and in technology, so a lot of important things that have been dragged down and long time process. I think they had the eu summit and then october 31st sort of appropriately halloween day, fell apart no matter what, both sides realized okay, we will do something. Maria people were thinking how is this possibly going to happen in next 2 weeks and here we have this deal. Fingers crossed. Maria other news as well, President Trump holding bipartisan meeting after the house voting overwhelming to oppose the administrations withdrawal from syria, the meeting ending with democrats walking out, House Speaker nancy pelosi commented yesterday but first the president on his decision. Syria doesnt want turkey to take its land, i can understand, but what does that have to do with the United States of america and fighting over syrias land, are we supposed to fight a nato member so syria who is not our friend keeps their land, i dont think so. The meeting started by the president saying [inaudible] trying to get the answer, what is your clear plan on how we fight isis, it was very sad. Secretary mike pompeo to arrive in turkey within the hour, we spoke to them yesterday, of course, when they were about to leave, they will be discussing the situation and we know that theres been tremendous amount of pushback from republicans, dagen, on the president s plan to withdraw out of syria. Dagen rebuke, a rebuke by republicans not only democrats in the house of the pullout from Northern Syria, democrats 225 to 0 but republicans also voted, the wall street journal editorial writes about this kurds 354, trump 60. But the republicans who voted 2 to 1 in favor of this rebuke, this opposition to the withdrawal from Northern Syria, those are republicans including minority leader kevin mccarthy, whip Steve Scalise and liz cheney just to name a few, again, a great pushback and i will read from another story in the wall street journal this morning that this was sudden and unexpected and quite frankly rash to put our allies, the kurds, in harms way and basically cede power and u. S. Forces have continued moving away from occupied syrian bases and they actually had to call in an Apache Helicopter and jet fighters to warm off turk you shall back group to jet fighters carrying out air strikes to destroy ammunition facility and other parts of the syria headquarters of the u. S. Campaign to destroy the Islamic State, it also, again, potentially gives rise to Islamic State which we had not destroyed but certainly defeated in the short run. Maria the pushback that i gave secretary mike pompeo yesterday because right now we are seeing reports that because the kurds are being overrun by the turks they are leaving their positions in front of those jails which are holding isis fighters. Isis fighters are being let out, that one one major issue, the other major issue to push out is oil fields in syria, if you will open up oil fields to allow iranians to get in there, theyre no longer on their heels, they will get revenue to continue to support isis. In terms of the argument that this is about bringing our troops home, well, thats not happening, the United States is sending 1800 troops to to repositioning them and i think its 1800 to saudi arabia, so its very disturbing to not just democrats, this is a bipartisan, again, rebuke of President Trumps decision. Maria yeah, i mean, the decision obviously the president has a strategy here, but we havent lost many people in syria in 5 years, i mean, one loss is too many i recognize that but so far its really been a support situation that the u. S. Has had for the kurds, for providing armament, weaponry and being there in terms of advisory role, so this is we will wait to hear more from the president on this. Another positive for the markets, dow industrials at the high of the morning, up 129 points, Morgan Stanley will be reporting Third Quarter numbers in an hour and a half, we will have numbers for you, stock is up 1 and a half percent. Netflix posted mixed results last night, sluggish subscriber growth and stock better than 8 right now on netflix, the streaming intensifying and people bet that the company will keep dominating, art. Amazing financial Growth Continues and the biggest concern was last quarter, significantly, so this was a bit of a miss in terms of what we thought they were going to be, 6. 8, but all of that came internationally, the headwinds that it is about, double digits, so when you think about the percentage drop, has everything to do with this coming and apple is coming in the same day, streaming product. Difficult and complicated space. The problem is where does the growth come . I think telegraph its not domestic and why the stock didnt move after hours because they havent said domestic is going to be disappointing but they more or less telegraphed that, more than 100 companies. I dont think that you had any idea once the disney product is available, im not talking about just disney plus where you get films, hulu, espn at the same price that netflix cost, thats a Value Proposition and disney has so much money, they will be advertising, advertising. Maria i have a hard time netflix will beat disney. The list came out, 650 available. Maria exactly, we will talk with Barry Dillard and he made his bets on who is doing best.

I do want to bring up one plant, maria, that has been very important throughout this election season, the lordstown, ohio plant, gm drew the ire of the president when they announced they were closing earlier this year, that plant will remain close and General Motors will build a second battery plant in ohio somewhere, we have to wait on the official details but at least some jobs could be spared in ohio because of the tentative agreement, maria.

Maria welcome back, breaking news this morning, british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson praising the agreement, announcement putting markets higher, chris, good to have you on the program, thanks so much for joining us. Great news they reached the agreement, this morning it does happen that takes one of the pieces of uncertainty, yeah, we are not out of the woods economically, you know, i see in the past months we have been tug of war where we get one or two pieces of news followed by bad news, this is god news but i still think its going to be a long struggle with the economy. Maria what do you think . The u. S. Trade war thats slowing things down, uncertainty over that, its gotten better this month . I think its the trade war, uncertainty and you have the consumer which is trouble, you have a lot of individuals out there thinking we will end up in a recession and the more people we think will end up in recession will get there. I know the last reading was okay but the consumer has been the best part of the story . It has, retail sales go down yesterday. I know in talking with my clients that they are fearful that a recession could be around the corner, thats the top of mind for them, the more thats top of mind and the more it becomes selffulfilling prophecy. Dagen consumer among consumers doesnt trance laid and a lot of people thinking that we will get resurgence in the economy or pickup in growth next year because of the dramatic drop and longerterm Interest Rates which has helped with refinancing and gasoline prices are lower right now than they were a year ago. Thats true. That puts money in peoples pockets. Have you ever had a recession happened and theres also the notion can we talk ourselves out of a recession, i dont think we can, the Michigan Consumer confidence shows how they feel, a lot of things about geopolitical issues, concerns over brexit and gm strike and the u. S. China trade war, seemed to be Getting Better and not worse and the point that i would point to is housing, if you look at the housing data that we got yesterday, that has only gotten better throughout the course of this year. The other thing on the positive you wouldnt see a recession, recession where theres asset bubble, i cant find asset bubble. Its not a bubble. Housing is not a bubble and i think real estate in general is a bubble. [laughter] theres a bubble with uber. Whats the best part of the market . I think with whats going on and youve got people exhausted on both sides, i look for more value names, stocks that i like are i think thats a really solid name as far as a very high dividend pay, selling at reallygood value price and the price of oil declining, they are one one of the lowest cost producers. Dagen you also have the Federal Reserve cutting Interest Rates, expected to cut again based whoop the yield curve is doing with reinversion, lower than 10year yield, thats a signal that the market does think that the fed is going to cut again and the fed does seem to be ahead of the curve this time based on just where the weekly jobs have been. Part of what they are looking at is weakness in Foreign Companies and not wanting that to be in the u. S. Maria dont forget earnings, i know the expectations are negative performance for Third Quarter, so far the first week. I think in i think we will see lowsingle digit earnings growth, it wont be terrific but decent. Maria all right, chris, thanks for your insight. Utah cop pulls driver out of the car stuck on train tracks seconds before impact of the train. Dillard joins me next talking big tech, and even the china controversy, thats up next after my dvt blood clot, i wondered. Could another come around the corner. Or could it play out differently . I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. Almost 98 of patients on eliquis didnt experience another. And eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling numbness or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planed medical or dental procedures. Whats around the corner could be your moment. Ask your doctor about eliquis. 2,000 fence posts. 900 acres. 48 bales. All before lunch, which we caught last saturday. We earn our scars. We wear our work ethic. We work until the works done.

Dramatic rescue caught on tape, a trooper risks his life to save driver from oncoming train, amazing pictures there. All the stories coming up thursday morning, top story this half an hour, netflix posting mixed results last night with sluggish subscriber growth, iac and expedia chairman last year predicted netflix would win the coming streaming wars, not changed his mind, now, new services are coming on the market every day, just one of the headlines from my exclusive interview with dillard. Is everybody catching up with netflix . No. Maria really . That does not mean that what disney is doing bob iger made a determination that he had to have direct engagement to the consumer and the only way through to do that is streaming. Its not like his put toes in the water, both feet, both legs, body in the water and going for completely such appealing content that i think, though, do well, will they ever get netflixs size, i cant imagine. Maria even they they have marvel, fox . So what. Im not saying they are not going to get subscribers but theyre not going to get to the level of netflix worldwide, its such a radical miracle that 6 years ago they invested what was thought to be obscene amount of money in house of cards, okay, 6 years ago, they put down 150 million which no one at the time could even conceive but their guts and really the extraordinary thing, not very well capitalized that start from streaming business and then makes such big bets that they change the entire entertainment business and change 100 years Old Companies and then theyve said right away we are going worldwide so they planted the little flags in every place in the world years ago. Maria do they have to spend 13 billion a year to keep up. They have to spend it for a while, for sure, its all overspending, all the money going into this is deficit money and in other words youre not going to get a return on the dollars, youre not playing for the short gain, so the thing is can you get enough subscribers over the next couple of years to be able to then actually cut back on your program expenditures, probably raise some prices too and make this come out in terms of the economics, i think thats a neat trick and i think its doable but the thing is that the prices that have this competition has made a this is a land rush to get programming, the results of it is it used to be that you use an hour of television, law and order, whatever, normal Hour Television program, maybe a million 5, 2 million, they are spending 8, 10, 12, 15 million an hour for programs, now thats kind of nuts and itll go on until this arms race stabilizes. Maria so you think netflixs success on house of cards, the show sin credible. I agree. Best show that propelled it. It was. Maria i loved that show. It was that it created something that people had never seen, highpriced and really well produced and expensively produced Television Series that was so directly to consumers, when they saw that and already netflix had been, you know, had some some subscribers, better way to obtain stuff. Maria do you want to acquire yelp . No. Maria why not . I dont know. Well, look, if yelp, you know, ive admired what theyve done but the issue and situations like that really does come down to where does it fit, does it fit next to our Home Service Business because they do some Home Services and we actually making some theyve had some deal but our home service to use yelp for their home service, so then it comes down to price and that has not made sense. Maria are you surprised of whats taking place there, you and i watch the internet boom and the internet buff, now you have real survivors like an amazon, are you surprised at what am done looks like today . No, im not really surprised because early on jeff bezos concentration on serving the consumer when no one else in arena was doing so with such consistency and because of that plus just a genius of a kind of ambition that is really wildly rare amazon, we tried to buy their bonds when they got into trouble and if it wasnt the company that owned piece of company i would have done so. I admire amazon for 20 years. Stay on this tech space for a second because you look at google and facebook, these companies are more powerful today than you have been and thats why you see washington. What kind of regulations . I dont believe breaking them up make sense, there has to be sensible regulations, when the Companies Get to the size that they are, then in fact, like any monopoly, they must have sensible regulation, so for google we spend expedia, we spend 3 and a half billion dollars, we probably spend 2. 7, 300 billion in marketing. Maria they ant advertising but they want your customers. We spend multiple billions of dollars and thats fine, we spend the money and they give us customers, what we dont like them is them competing with us in our own business. So we think thats kind of wrong and we have been saying it for many years and we think that eventually this will like other things that get to excessive, you know, get excessive, this will get taken care of by regulation, sensible regulation is mandatory, the businesses that have that level they are truly monopolies. Google has 90 market share in search. Ive always said that if youre google its kind of wise since everybody is a search on your land to treat the search nicely because the search comes after you. Maria do you have a thought on china on whats going on between u. S. And china, whats your reaction to all of this, the nba is over here defending what what the general manager of Houston Rockets said and china is bullying them and they rollover and then you can say it was inevitable. China has been growing, china has more people than any place else, it also has a regime, they dont have to depend upon office, they are very competitive, so we are seeing a result of them getting very strong and wanting to get stronger and they will keep doing it and push back because that kind of that kind of economic potential imbalance and china absolutely does believe in one man standing, weve done business in china and in tend we basically had to sell out because, in fact, in almost every industry theres only one survives, so thats our very competitive place and you will see tensions and reactions where china can say if the nba does something they dont like or somebody says something they dont like, they can simply by decreeing it, theres no theres no real rule of law, so they do what they can get away with. Maria alibaba doesnt have to do the same rules even though alibaba trades in the u. S. Bare, good to have you, thanks so much. Pleasure. Maria breaking news, Vice President mike pence landing moments ago in turkey, soon be joined by secretary of state mike pompeo, set to meet with turkish president erdogan to discuss potential for cease fire as the developments, we will get news this morning on the conversation, short break, weenie we come back, hailing a hero, Police Officer pulling driver out of a car as the train barrel toward it, more of tin credible footage coming up. We are watching for Morgan Stanley this morning, all the numbers as soon as they hit the tape and the impact, back in a minute. To discover were woven together by the moments we share. Everything you need, all in one place. Expedia. My body is truly powerful. I have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. Because i can still make my own insulin.

Do you recall, not long ago we would walk on the sidewalk all around the wind blows we would only hold on to let go blow a kiss into the sun we need someone to lean on blow a kiss into the sun we needed somebody to lean on all we need is someone to lean on maria welcome back, breaking news this morning, uk and eu negotiators have reach ad deal. Cheryl thats powered up the markets, maria, good morning to you, the Draft Agreement announced hours before it goes before european summit that start in brussels today, thats a 2day summit, a deal must still be proved by Britains Parliament which remember rejected 3 earlier proposals from former Prime Minister theresa may. Now current Prime MinisterBoris Johnson said will likely be held this saturday, british pound did rally on the news and futures moved here in this country on this breaking news. The main Sticking Point is to keep border open between Northern Ireland which is uk and ireland, part of the eu, well, varneys new york to reach deal, 270 million in cash according to court filing, this calls for all remaining barney stores to close, barneys filed for bankruptcy protection citing rent hikes as a factor.

We have a train coming. We have a train coming. Cheryl close call, the officer drags the unconscious driver away from the tracks seconds before the train, the officer said, quote, i was just doing my job. It is amazing what Police Officers do across the country, dont get caught in things like that. Maria big shoutout, on the jail story, positive oped saying the rockers island is a mess and needs to be closed down, completely different take from the new york post, closing rockers will make u. S. City less safe, the City Council Must say no today, we have been talking for literally a year, feels like crime is picking up in new york already and 3 of the four jails will be in brooklyn and its not going to have the capacity that reckers island has right now. This is a big story nationwide because you have large part of the far left pushing for the decriminalization, well, of crime, even simple assaults and petty larsony and one thing i will point out in new york city, the marijuana offenses started falling in 2011 after the stop and frisk was stopped in bloomberg, but under bill de blasio the decline extended to other couples like simple assault, petty larceny, they are not arresting people for shoplifting, they are not arresting people for punching people in the head, turns out thats Something Else but, again, when you take an open season on merchants throughout your entire city where people can walk into a dicks sporting goods, if you will, cvs and take whatever they want and security tries to stop them and the security guards put their hands on them and they stop screaming bloody murder and the cops dont show up, it turns into anarchy and the death of my juror cities because people will not stay here. The needles on the street, its coming to new york, alexandria ocasiocortez is backing this coalition call, new jails, new york city, she doesnt want any jail. Dagen hurts the workingclass new yorker, hurts the workingclass resident of all of the city because the rich can pick up and leave, they can go overseas, they can go to a notax state like texas but the ranking file people that take subways and defend for their lives.

Maria welcome back, one marine helping others prepare for the future, federal employees with professionals to make sure they have security to retire and education around it, griff for 5 years served as arabic linguist and signallist intelligence analyst, thank you for your service in our country, thank you. When i left the marine corps i knew that i had passion to continue to serve, so when i started i wanted the ability to inspire federal workers to properly prepare for the days when we no longer have to work and im very lucky to be able to do that today. Maria in terms of the transition from military life to business life, how tough is that . It was tough because theres so much in the marine corps that i absolutely adored and i wasnt sure that i was going to find that same passion out in the private sector and so im really grateful to be able to do that and apply so many of the skills that i had when i was serving our country in the military to be able to continue to serve the federal workforce today. Dagen these are Financial Planning tools, i was surprised that these werent available to people of the military serving currently and who have served in the past or federal workers in general, im surprised it was that need there . It was a big surprise for me as well and i knew that i could provide the training but that was only the first step, then what . Once everyone gets the information, what do they do with it . I knew if i was going to be able to have the transportation that i was seeking for all of the people to feel like they have control over their own retirement that i had to be able to pair them with the person that could help them take the next step. They are coming from a very structured environment to one thats not structured. Whats education level on this stuff . Most of the time when folks come to training, they never experienced any Training Like this before, they are right at the end to have career and all of them Say Something of the nature i wish i would have done this 10 or 20 years ago and taken those steps to put time on their side and luckily for us we get to to help them and at tend we prefer a little earlier in the career and get the training and walk out the door and feel theres a path forward that i can take is rewarding.

A lot of news this morning. Brexit, looks like at least both sides, it seems like we have a deal. Well be looking for that. Futures moving higher on that. Maria takes a lot of uncertainty out of the way. Dagen until we get to the dude sitting to my right, ill stifle. Maria rewit stifle. Maria we are remembering Elijah Cummings at this hour. News came overnight that he passed away. His Office Released this statement. At approximately 2 45 a. M. On thursday morning, october 17t october 17th, 2019, congressman Elijah Cummings of maryland passed away at Johns Hopkins hospital due to complications concerning longstanding health challenges. More details will be forthcoming. He represented marylands seventh Congressional District since 1996. He was 68 years old. Our condolences go to his wife and family. Joining us now is former economic add a vicar to president obama, advisor to president obama, robert wolf. Your reaction to Elijah Cummings. I know hes had a number of issues with the current president but he was a great public servant. 1996 is when he came into office. He obviously ran a lot of different committees. He currently chaired the oversight committee. It has not been easy to be a politician in baltimore the last decade with everything going on. And i think like all these different politicians, we may disaa agree or agree, but theyre given to our country to better it. It is a sad day. He was a young man. He was 68. Maria he was a good man. That was the first thing we said when we sat down, god, thats really young. I had a the honor of meeting him a few different times. He was always there for human rights and civil rights and i think he always spoke truth to power and in this polarizing environment, a lot of the good things hes done over the years, everyone goes to their corner. I think everyone is going to remember him as a great public servant. Maria absolutely. And our condolences to his family. Dagen Donna Brazile on twitter, she made a statement on his passing and she ended it with rest in power. Maria we have a lot of breaking news we want to get your take on. Out of europe, weve got a draft deal thats been reached on brakebrexit. Boris johnson said they reached this quote, unquote, great new deal with eu negotiators and hes urging parliament to approve it this week. Features spiked on the news. Youve got a rally in the dow industrials, up 83 points, coming off of the highs. Youre the former chairman of. Bs americas. Your take on this . When i was president of the investment bank, our biggest business was in the eu, switzerland and europe and from turkey to everyone, ive had the ability to metered juan an meetd erdogan and many different leaders. I was never for brexit but im absolutely for a brake brexit d. Once the public votes and they decide theyre going to do this type of deal, they should proceed. Were now three years into it. I hope this is a real deal. Weve been speaking about it for years. Any time we can take geopolitical risk out of the Financial Markets is a good day. So this is a good day for the markets. I think its a good day for all of the Money Managers around the globe because this is one thing we can now take off the table. And for trade an for tech, were talking about how many American Companies are based in ireland and then with ireland as part of the eu and Northern Ireland, obviously in the u. K. , that was going to create all kinds of hassle which is apparently the place that the compromise has finally been able to be made. You gave me a big soft ball there because weve been speaking i always feel im to the right of the conservative party right now when it comes to fiscal responsibility and trade. It would be great if the president and Boris Johnson started talking about bilateral trade. I was always for ttip, ive been for ttp. Maria the president said as soon as the u. K. Leaves, mead her theyre going to do a deal, the u. K. And the u. S. Any time we can get the trading partners where we can figure out how to make one plus one equals three instead of two, thats a good thing. Wind in the sails. We have a long relationship with the u. K. I heard this morning when you announced it, you were one of the first to announce the breaking news, the question is we havent seen any drafts of what theyve agreed to. We have to get through parliament. Theres a meeting later today. We have to get through the parliament tri maria we got a good comment from the commissioner. Which is great. Dagen the small Northern IrishDemocratic Unionist Party has come out and a said theyre not going to endorse the agreement. So theres already a wrench being put into it. Boris johnson has a somewhat difficult relationship right now with the u. K. Parliament so well see how those conversations go. Maria did that just come out . Maybe thats why markets off of the highs. This is part of the reporting from the wall street journal. Do you think theres been a lot of Companies Like ubs or that have already made a move out of london in terms of it being the Financial Hub or do you think people are waiting to see how this there was no question whenever you have a global business, you dont wait for the action to happen. You prepare years in advance. I remember for many, many volatile days maria and i and dagen used to talk about doddfrank. We didnt wait for doddfrank to happen. We had to prepare years in advance. Everyone has prepared for brexit to happen, theres no question about it. Now theyll have to look at what the new rules are. We really dont know how trades going to be, going from open trade, open passport, all this open environment to something that will be much more i dont want to say barriers of entry but there will be barriers of entry. Maria the other news is that meeting yesterday at the white house. President trump clashing with house lawmakers over his syria proposals. The president holding a tense bipartisan meeting yesterday at the white house after the house voted to owe pose the administrations withdrawal from syria. The meeting ended with democrats walking out. President trump and nancy pelosi both weighed in on this yesterday and had their own sides of the story. Watch. Syria doesnt want turkey to take its hand. I can understand that. But what does that have to do with the United States of america . If theyre fighting over syrias land, are we supposed to fight a nato member in order that syria, who is not our friend, keeps their land . I dont think so. We just came from a most unsatisfactory meeting at the white house. As speaker of the house i reported to the president that shortly before the meeting we had a vote in the congress, 35460 opposing his actions that he took in syria. Most importantly, asking the president what his plan was to fight isis now that he had disrupted what was going on in syria. He couldnt handle it. He just couldnt handle it. Two to one the republicans voted to oppose what he was doing in syria. He kind of engaged a meltdown. We were trying to get the answer, what is your clear plan this resolution asks for, how we fight isis. It was very sad. Maria Vice President mike pence and secretary of state mike pompeo travel to turkey today for further talks. You heard mike pompeo the secretary of state with me yesterday talking about his goals for that trip and hes basically wanting to ask turkey for a complete cease fire. Your reaction . I mean, this is listen, the environment has been incredibly toxic, away from pelosi and trump. In the of last 72 hours, the only bipartisan issue that actually seems to be is that people are not happy with the president s decision with respect to the kurds and turkey. Yesterday, when we were chatting, we found out that were now having strategic alliances on this with iran and russia and assad in sir why and all syria and all of a sudden our allies in kurds have become our frenemies. I would like to take a step back to see how we can get to a cease fire. No one likes whats going on. We saw the letter that obviously that you guys broke yesterday with respect to erdogan and trump and i think were in a situation where people need to understand the president s decisions a lot better than via tweet and it seems that Lindsey Graham and a lot of those who have been more hawkish seem to be obviously against what the president s decision is. Maria heres the letter from President Trump to erdogan, saying lets work out a good deal. You dont want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people and i dont want to be responsible for destroying the turkish economy, and i will. He ends it by saying dont be a tough guy, dont be a fool. I will call you later. President trump. Now, yesterday when secretary of state mike pompeo joined me he put the blame of this increased chaos in syria right now pointedly straight at erdogan. Watch this. Great interview. Ive watched the world rally to push back against president erdogan and the invasion that took place. We should never mistake who the actor is that has caused this disruption there. It wasnt the United States. It wasnt the European Countries that were there in syria alongside of us. It was president erdogan who is responsible for this instability. Maria, that was a great interview. I do think that theres been some pushback on some of the comments he made to you, especially where he made the comment to you that turkey would have fired upon the kurds whether we were there or not there. I know that theres been some pushback on that statement, no disrespect to the secretary. And so listen, i think that were right now this situation is not going to stop. Yesterday a majority of the house including over 150 republicans voted for over 100, i thought it was over 150 voted for the idea what the president decided to do was not its now going to go to the senate. Maria voting no on his withdrawal of the troops from syria. Correct. Maria i understand this is an issue that a lot of people agree its a dangerous situation to take the troops out. I think the American People are sick and tired of all the fighting. They have to start getting something done together. Dagen if thats our National Security, so be it. It was done rashly. It was ununexpectedly. Our own troops on the ground were not prepared for this. Were having to bomb and basically fire on an installation that we had in that part of syria to ensure that our enemies, like russia, dont collect intelligence secrets on the ground, number one. Number two, ill add this of. Why increase the military budget so dramatically if youre going to pull out . Number one, in terms of how much money were spending as a nation. And our 1 trillion annual budge he ebudget deficits. Number two, dont you want the republicans on your side when youre facing an impeachment inquiry by the democrats in the house. Maria this was a campaign promise, take the troops home. Im not a hawkish guy. Weve been speaking for a decade. The reason i backed obama was because he wasnt for the war. I dont have an issue with the president not being putting our men in harms way. I mean, weve all been supporters of Wounded Warriors forever and a lifetime. I do think its what dagen said. Its about execution. Its about has this plan been executed with the right people around the table. Hes the president. Hes the commander in chief. But the question i would have is on execution. And it seems thats where a lot of the pushback is happening. Dagen there are 1,000 isis prisoners that could be could escape. There are 15,000 additional potential fighters on the ground there. President obama learned that you create a vacuum, you have to go back. So if the u. S. Has to go back to prevent terror from arriving on u. S. Shores, we have noa no alls because we turned our backs on the kurds. And turned our backs potentially on other allies. Is this an individual in the white house that you can trust . Its a tough situation. Maria yeah. Robert, thank you. Thanks for having me on. A great interview with barry diller. Ive been watching the past couple days. Its fantastic.

Netflix posting mixed results last night with sluggish subscriber growth. They posted a beat on earnings. The company added over half a million new subscribers in the u. S. Amid an estimated 800,000. Joining us now is trust Portfolio Manager dan morgan. Its good to see you this morning. Thanks for joining us. Your reaction to the netflix quarter . Its like you said, maria. They beat on that Third Quarter but then the guidance going into the Fourth Quarter was really shy of the street. They were looking for, what, 9. 23 million subscribers. They came in with 7. 6 million. That kind of led to a bit of concerns about new subscriber growth Going Forward with competition coming in as we talked about of before, with apple tv, youve got disney, hulu, all these other disney plus, so how is that going to work in Going Forward in terms of adding new subscribers when they kind of fell a little bit short of estimates on the Fourth Quarter. Are we getting to the point where were getting close to saturation at least domestically for streaming. Feels like weve got a dozen new products coming at us in the short run and netflixs growth over the last three quarters hasnt shown any domestic growth, its all been international. Do you think domestically were pretty well saturated in the streaming business, is that going to get worse with new competition coming in. Youre exactly right. If you look at their overall quarter, lets say they just did, 6. 8 million in terms of subscribers. They were short of 7 aggregate but only a small portion was domestic, i think it was 6. 3 was international which was a little above the estimates of 6. 2 million. But yeah, you get to this point where the real opportunity is in the International Space and yet we have all these big domestic names coming on, battling it out with content. So to me, the real challenge for netflix Going Forward is can they continue to add content internationally and continue to grow and also monetize their existing base. We talk about that with spotify and facebook. But they have 160 Million People using their service and lets face it, the growth is going to start to slow down. So how do you monetize and a increase the amount of revenue per user opposed to having to just focus on adding new people domestically which is tough. Dan, deirdre here. Netflix is the poorest performing stocks of the fangs. Do you buy at a this level . We have a small position in that not a huge position for us. I think theres going to continue to be challenges Going Forward. We know that disney plus is coming out here in november, weve got apple tv, 4. 99, 6. 99 a month. Youre going to continue to have more Headline News working against netflix because of worries about competition. So i think it makes it a little more challenging for them as being one of the big fang stocks to continue to have th the performance theyve had. I should have said yeartodate mf what do you think of ibm. They closed the red hat acquisition a week before the last earnings. Its the First Quarter that theyre reporting their numbers in ibms quarter. It did post a miss on revenue, the stock is down 5 right now. What would you do with ibm . Youre right, maria. And this quarter they did, what, 370 million in revenue on their cloud and cognitive segment which is where the red hat numbers came in. That was up 6. 5 . But all the other segments, their services and Everything Else is pretty much flat to down. Fifth consecutive quarter of negative Revenue Growth. So its a very challenging stock because its probably going to be out until approximately 2021 before we really see the full amount coming on with red hat in terms of accretion towards earnings. So i think at this time, maria, its still going to be what its always been. Its a dividend stock. Its a l value play. Its going to take a year or two for this thing to really be perked up from the red hat acquisition. I think investors are going to have to be patient and reap that big dividend. Maria the Third Quarter cloud revenues was 5 billion and it was 14 cloud Revenue Growth in the quarter. Is that do you think are the growth story right now, one of the growth stories in tech, cloud . 100 . The problem with ibm is they took too long to make that pivot. This acquisition as you mentioned, 34 billion which they probably paid too much for, for red hat, is moving them in the right direction. Remember, they have to get that integrated. They have to find the synergies. They probably paid too much for red hat. While theyre doing that, theyre not buying back their shares. They suspended their share buyback. That affected their earnings as well. Can they catch up to amazon and microsoft for cloud . They can. The problem is while theyre doing it, you pointed this out, this is correct, their legacy business is dying a slow death. Its a melting ice cube. They will get there but its not 2020, its 2021. Maria hard to see growth the bigger you get. Hard to generate growth the way that you see in some of these other smaller names. Its also important to have made a pivot earlier in the game. You look at a microsoft, which did this years ago. You need to get to the cloud. You look at a cisco which turned into a recurring revenue story much faster than people realized and they ditched their legacy business a lot quicker. Ibm didnt do that. They hung on too long. Theyre chasing, they probably overpaid for red hat. Can companies can Big Companies innovate, the long story short the answer is usually no. Maria apple seems to be doing it, actually. Real quick before you go, would you buy these two stocks here . I think you could have kind of a wait and see on netflix because of the competition element that we taw talke talket before. We own a sizable position of ibm. I think you could look at it as a dividend play. They have a 4 to 5 dividend. Its way up there. You get paid to let it happen over the next couple years. Maria thank you so much. Bank earnings in focus this morning. Were awaiting Morgan Stanleys right now, the Third QuarterEarnings Report. Were looking at the stock trade up looking into the numbers. Joining us now Equity Strategies director, marty mosby. Thanks for being here. Whats your expectation on Morgan Stanley . Well, we think that the what were going to see is in line with what the market thinks, around 1. 115 is the expectation. We have seeing a little bit of revenue pressure because of what they have from their private Wealth Management and the Net Interest Income that they generate. So a little bit of pressure with lower Interest Rates will make them be down sequentially. But overall, Morgan Stanleys a favorable stock for us as we move into next year. They kind of trough out when rates begin to stabilize. When you look at some of the Bank Earnings so far this week, i think weve seen some pretty surprising my Biggest Surprise is loan demand seems to be growing much bigger than much larger than our expectations, both from the corporate level and the consumer level. Do you think thats going to be a theme were going to continue to hear when we get down to the regionals, bough because its certain because its certainly the majors all talked about strong loan demand. Maria Morgan Stanley is out. We have to get to Lauren Simonetti. Lets get the numbers. Lauren the news is good. Morgan stanley reporting earnings per share of 1. 27 versus the estimate of 1. 11 so that was a nice, healthy beat there. They also beat when it came to revenue. Little over 10 billion in the quarter. The street was expecting 9. 6 billion. So once again, the Banking Sector has not felt the sting of lower Interest Rates just yet. This is a welcome increase in the share price. When you look at Morgan Stanley which is up 8 yeartodate but it is trailing its peers by a wide margin, the kbw banking index is up 17 . Double beat for Morgan Stanley. Maria you want to give us a reaction that we got a better than expected top and bottom line before we get back to marty on his analysis. Across the board. Its interesting, Morgan Stanley is a much steadier business because theyve really transitioned over to financial advice. So theyre no longer that sort of going after Goldman Sachs business, Investment Banking, theyre still a player but the largest portion of the business is the Financial Advisor business and i think its a very good side to see that kind of growth. Financial sector earnings have been pretty bright, right. Dagen Goldman Sachs is the softest of the bunch in terms of the Earnings Report because it doesnt have the stability of a Morgan Stanley business, it doesnt have the deposits of a jp morgan. But who does. And they had a bunch of deals that went south for them. Their calendar has been difficult this year. Thats the problem. When you live in that market, you live or die by the calendar and Goldman Sachs didnt definitdagen got the apple cae what is does. Maria the stock is moving and moving fast. Your reaction to this quarter. Actually, this extra nickel hell of earnings that were seeing is likely coming from what we had in the fixed income area. We saw a couple hell positive beats there. So theyre getting the benefit of that. Also what they were seeing was the ipo market would have been kind of a head wind this quarter. So there must be some other Investment Banking business that theyre being able to pull through. So all in all, this is a good stabilization for them, instead of seeing the downturn of 5 we were talking about, this is about even with what we were at earlier this year. So what were getting in the overall theme of banks is a sustaining of earnings power and returns and the valuations really dont reflect that. So if we can see credits stay relatively low and the cost of credit low, we can see that the banks can manage through the Interest Rate pressures with growing the Balance Sheets like you were talking about earlier with strong loan growth. Then i think we can see these things start to work towards the end of this year and going into next year. Marty, you mentioned the Investment Banking business. How is it that more and more companies are doing these direct listing, so spues spotify was the spotify was the first one to do it, taking out the middlemen in a way that are the investment bankers. Do you see this happening more . What does that mean to the Investment Banking business . Well, again, its an evolution that were seeing in the Financial Markets. But were seeing that also with the regulation on traditional banking. Theres more things happening outside of that. So what that does means is that the banks Balance Sheets and the banks business mix are really a lot less risky and a lot less kind of leveraged to the froth that can come into the market, the extra business and the extra deals that are getting done are happening kind of outside of those traditional channels. So that is an incremental thing thats happening in relation to regulation and things like that that have been much more strict on the tradition l Nail Business models. Were seeing great reports so far. Its been the major Money Center Banks. Does this translate down to the regional banks when we start to hear from them over the course of the next couple weeks . We saw some good news yesterday from u. S. Bank corp. And pnc as well as bb aunt t and sun trust bb t and sun trust. The super regional banks are growing 6 to 7 . The Money Center Banks are holding relatively flat given the head winds theyve had with Capital Markets and some of the Investment Banking. So we do believe because they have extra liquidity, theyre getting active, theyre increasing that loan growth, that loan demand is there. Thats incremental earnings that really hasnt been counted on and those credit costs, we believe we have a credit cycle monitor forecasts that for the next year, the credit cost should stay relatively stable. Thats a positive for the group that isnt calculated into l valuations right now. Maria thank you for your analysis. Appreciate it. Nice talking to you. Maria quick break and mark benhff weighs in on regulating big tech, the future of capitalism and the cloud. Back in a minute. As a principal i can tell you this. When one student gets left behind, we all get left behind. This is a problem that affects each and every one of us. Together with ibm, we created a whole new kind of School Called ptech. Within six years, students can graduate with a high school diploma, a college degree, and a pathway to a competitive job. You know whats going up today . My poster.

A Top Technology leader declaring, quote, capitalism is dead, thats one of the blockbuster headlines from my sitdown with the coceo of sales force, marc benioff said to me that facebook is the new cigarettes. We covered a range of issues from Artificial Intelligence to homelessness. Watch. How would you characterize the macro environment and i know that people are worried about cap expending. I was in yo munich yesterda, in london on monday and im in new york today. Our customers are all still very aggressively investing in their Digital Transformations. Those transformations begin and end with the customer. Thats why were involved in those conversations. We continue to see a tremendous work in transformation worldwide as a all companies transform themselves to connect with their customers in new ways and i think the environment remains very good. That said, you know that im a trustee at the World Economic forum and the head of the oecd, i saw him in paris, and he basically has taken his Global Growth rate from 4 to 3 because of whats happening with this trade situation. So he said, and i agree with him, if we resolve the trade situation, Global Growth will resume its climb. So that would be very exciting. Maria when theres uncertainty around, Business Managers the first thing they do is sit on capital. When youre talking about Digital Transformation, this is a must spend, isnt it. Its a must spend. Youre right. Because, look, every company and every customer is trying to build a 360degree view of their customer because today if you dont have a direct connection with your customer then youre not really competitive in the world and it doesnt matter if youre in retail or banking or healthcare or you pick your industry, maria, everyone is trans forming and connecting with their customers in new ways and bringing new ways to connect companies and customers together. Maria i guess the market got spooked yesterday and a little today about workday and workdays ceos comments about the environment. Europe is having a hard time generating any growth. Can you give us a sense of what youre seeing in europe . Same thing in europe or do you see europe a little slower than the United States . Europe has been healthy for us. Weve had 30 growth there the last quarter. Its been good for us and like i said, i was there yesterday, i was meeting with the Largest Companies in germany and in the u. K. And, look, theyre investing. Those are the conversations that were having and everybody just wants to have this trade issue resolved. Maria is the growth story at salesforce from Data AnalyticsGoing Forward . Im really getting to this recent acquisition you made. I know its early on so youre not going to say a lot about it but tableau has been talked about in terms of another big growth story for salesforce. Where do you see the growth within the company in the next five, 10 years. Weve had a fantastic shareholder return and if you bought our stock in 2004, its been a 3400 return. We forecast well go from guidance 16. 9 billion or approximately 17 billion this year to 28 billion within three years, fiscal year 23. We see expanded growth but that growth is anchored on one thing, which is this Digital Transformation phenomenon and the focus on customer which is the only word that we do at salesforce which is help companies connect with their customers. Maria do you worry about the trade fight going on and china getting ahead of us in some of these really important technologies like a. I. . I dont view it like that. I think actually that were quite competitive with all countries and all industries. And i could make the case on why that is true. But what i will tell you is there is a lot of transformation happening. This is the fourth industrial revolution. You do have a. I. You do have robotics. You have the biosciences. Maria oh, yeah. Theres many things happening r around the world and in all industries and ive never seen so much transformation and change and innovation. Maria youve got your dream force conference coming up next month. This is your opportunity to put on this big show, tell the world whats coming, whats coming at salesforce. Can you give us a hint in terms of the push into new areas. You just talked about it. Its all about a. I. We call it einstein. Einstein, Artificial Intelligence, and just to connect the dots, one of the things that we just showed is we have einstein and its running on a drone and its over the ocean right now in Santa Barbara and its able to classify i just put this on my twitter feed that it saw a great white shark heading towards a school of kids in a surf camp in Santa Barbara. It was able to call the park and say hey, get the kids out of the water and you can see the shark and you can see the a. I. Saying oh, theres a shark there. Now, just five years ago, that was not possible. Okay. But today and you know this already because of the special you just did on a. I. , it is possible and we can do a lot of things and thats an example of improving the world through a. I. Because you know, technology is never good or bad. Its what you do with the technology that makes a difference. We have to keep that mind as we start to think about values and our businesses. Maria you make a really good point. We are right now in this discussion about how technology will change as a result of perhaps more regulation. So weve got some social Media Companies that are stronger and more powerful than weve ever imagined p. What are you expecting . And is it bifurcated in terms of tech where we might see regulation on not regulation . What do you expect in terms of whats coming from washington, what should be changed with regard to regulation on big tech . Well, you know i just wrote about this in my book, which is that we were there together, actually, in davos in january, 2018 and i said facebook is the new cigarette. Its astick testify. Its addictive. They want your kids. Theyre passing your information to 50,000 other companies. You dont know whats happening. Now theyre buying assets like whats app and instagram and comingling that data and if you saw that netflix special called the big hack theyre creating Market Segments and shifting elections based on that data. Thats not good. Nobody wants that. We want society based on trust and truth. Thats so important. This is something we all need to be committed to. We have to focus on trust as our highest value. Maria you write a book, its called trailblazer, the power of business as the greatest platform for change. Why did you write this book . Capitalism as we know it is dead. Businesses need and we all need a new capitalism. That is a capitalism that is more fair, more equitable and more sustainable. And thats a capitalism that includes all stakeholders, not just shareholders. This concept that the business of business is business is over. What are stakeholders . Its your employees, your customers, your partners. By the way, im from San Francisco. Its about our homeless. Maria ive got to talk to you about that. Lets do it. Also, Public Schools and the planet. I mean, im the ceo of a big company now, not just a startup like when i melt you. We have 45,000 employees, 130 billion. You know in market cap. Maria congratulations. What an incre incredible growth. Isnt that cool. Maria youre using that to give back. Weve had a great shareholder return, 3500 since we went public. Oweve also had a great stakeholder return, 300 million in grants, 4 million hours of volunteerism. We have also been able to run 40,000 nonp profits and ngos for free on our service. Were a net yea zero company. We dont have any net new carbon emissions. Thats our stakeholder return. All companies can report not just their shareholder results like you cover so well here but your stakeholder results too. We do. We publish a stakeholder report. The ses has an opportunity, i the sec has an opportunity to say to companies, tell us about your stakeholders and what youre doing for them. Maria i want to push back on this for a minute. Because this has been in your blood, in your dn a a, this whole notion of stakeholders. So youre maybe different in this category. When i first saw the Business Roundtable decision, i thought wait a minute, does that mean employees and the communities you operate in werent important beforehand. I thought it was a little bit of pr. I said wait a second, what about shareholders, what about capitalism . Who is going to stand there and defend capitalism . This is a new capitalism. Its where shareholders are as important as stakeholders and its coming from within the companies. Its coming from within. People who are working inside companies today say hey, im not just here to make money. Im here to improve the state of the world. I know you feel that way. Its why you are here with this network and left the other network. Youre here because this is your platform you use your platform to improve the world. I know that because i watched you for decades. Im also using my platform to improve the state of the world. Maria what are you thinking about the homelessness issues in california right now . Any ideas in terms of i have a lot of ideas. Thats why a year ago i spent 7 million to work to pass a tax to tax salesforce which is called proposition c in San Francisco to create more Homeless Services because we badly need extremely low Income Housing and social services. Its been proven by medical studies, by clinical studies, and were just not doing enough and so 62 of the voters actually passed this and its in the courts right now. But we need more services. And this concept of extremely low Income Housing, as i told you, i was just in europe, if you go to france they have a minister of low Income Housing. They call it social housing. And they plan it inside their communities. We just dont do that. We have not planned these big cities like you just mentioned to really know everybodys not going to be able to afford the gorgeous apartment or house that you and i live in. We have to be able to create housing for everyone and that is a way, a critical way to help eliminate homelessness. The key to homelessness is housing. Maria the book is trail blazer, pick it up.

A lot far from a done deal from what i understand uch parliament is having usual voting on a saturday, labor apparently not backing what the uk pm Boris Johnson suggested dagen mentioned some resistance from Northern Ireland right now what i am have gleaning seems Northern Ireland would stay in union with eu Sticking Point that was where, the toast part of the compromise was found there are many in Northern Ireland who do not want that dagen Nigel Farage Brexit party leader urged Uk Parliament to reject the deal the planned eu and Boris Johnson. Eu the deal, a fair alabanand balanced. Dagen side not just brexit into eu too many ways we are digging into details. Pushback more on that coming up top story this hour we are remembering congressman Elijah Cummings this morning breaking news House OversightCommittee Chairman died last night served in Congress Since 1996, just 68 years old kentucky cram House Financial ServicesCommittee Member andy barr good to see you this morning thanks so much for joining us. What a shocker for all of us were aware how sick Elijah Cummings was. O no i wasnt its was a surprise to me our thoughts and prairs go to Cummings Family as you said 6 years old far too young. His wife, gave a beautiful statement this morning, about that. What happens now . He was the chairman of the committee. How does that what are house rules in terms of what happens next . Well, he goes chair one of the referring committees on impeachment probe, there will be some time for grieving i am sure, and the speaker will make those announcements uniformities obviously, for members of congress, to pay respects to our colleague. But i suspect the business of the congress will continue and that the impeachment proceeding will continue. Congressman we send condolences to you and colleagues this morning we want to get thatl to that impeachment inquiry continue about clashing president yesterday clashed over syria held tens bipartisan meeting at the white house overwhelmingly voted to oppose withdrawal from syria ended with democrats walking out President TrumpHouse Speaker nancy pelosi had their sides of the story twhach got watch this. Doesnt want turkish to take its lands i can than us what does that have to do with United States of america . If fighting over syrias land are we supposed to fight a nato member in order syria not our friend i dont think so. We came from most unsatisfactory meeting at the white House Speaker of the house reported to president shortly before meeting we had a vote in congress 364 60, opposing actions to turkey and syria most perform asking president what to the plan was to fight isis, now that he has disrupted what was going on in syria. Couldnt handle it just couldnt handle it two to one republics voted to oppose what he was doing in syria, kind of engaged in a meltdown we were trying to get the answer, what is your clear plan with this afterwards how we fight how we fight isis . It was very sad. Congressman this after President Trump sent stern letter to erdogan saying dont be a fool lets make a deal, otherwise, i could crush your economy Vice President mike penn secretary of state pompeo in turkey for further talks your reaction to all of this congressman. I am glad the Vice President and the secretary of state are in turkey look there is bipartisan concern about issue especially with reports of the escape of isis detainees in Northern Syria, i was in irbil iraq met with president barzani of kurdish region in 2015 back then members of congress were trying to encourage Obama Administration to directly armu kurds in counter isis fight with United States they were loyal allies deserve our support i am sympathetic to the president want to go bring the troops home, and the American People want that as well. I think the key is the conditions under when we withdraw groops i think the concern in congress was the timing was bad in terms of not did he terg incursion from turkey this poses security challenges for United States allies in the region particularly when you consider, the possibility that resurgence of isis the possible of growing russian influence in the region a potential corridor through would iran could resupply to attack israel there are major National Security challenges i spoke with secretary of defense the other night encouraged the administration to let intelligence on the ground really animate the policy here. Dagen it is Dagen Mcdowell two days ago President Trump said in a statement that those the 1,000 u. S. Troops evacuating syria would remain in evenlying i think there are 1800 going to saudi arabia. Yeah, well look, the United States needs to have a presence in the middle east to deter iran, to deter, a resurgence of isis to defend allies like israel so we cannot so is late completely i understand the United States is weary the u. S. National security and homeland, there are threats to our homeland if we completely withdraw. Dagen right, when we saw on 9 11. Correct. Right. Maria congressman could you. Could you walk us through next steps past bipartisan support for this and the house i see goes to senate what happens next what should we look out for in terms of next extension. I think we are going to hear from administration in classified setting about what next steps are from the administration. Obviously, there is bipartisan concern about what is happening in the region. The senate may take action, not sure i know many senators like senator graham have expressed concern to the president. And look we cannot allow isis to reconstitute its dont need a repeat of president obamas mistake premature withdrawal loud isis to create this caliphate. That would be a disaster would be a disaster for all of the bloodshed the blood that has been shed by American Service members fighting yaisis for sure insurgency in iraq we are going to continue to encourage the administration, to let the intelligence animate the policy here we will continue to gauge the Administration Work seeing in one issue i brought up with saebt mike pompeo the oil fields, in syria, you know, who is to say, that now that the u. S. Is is going to be leaving the iranians dont claim those oil fields then new revenue you know you have them on heels now youve got them getting revenue, to support isis again. Not only that, maria but very it is very distressing to see as u. S. Troops are pulling out russian flag is moving in. Maria that is right. This is emboldening iran russia, and the risk of a recons tooutsdz isis is something we cannot tolerate. Last thing one isis flag hoistsdz. There wraurns video circulating of installation in Northern Syria u. S. Had to a abandon all of a sudden happy meals i understand the sentiments on this wants to go get our troops out of harms way there is a pushback i got to get your way we have talked few weeks ago congressman on Business Roundtable, decision to say look profits are no longer the priority, i want to i sat down with founder coceo of salesforce yesterday marc benioff said capitalism as we know it is dead here is what he said i got to get your reaction watch this. I was talking with congressman andy barr recently in washington he said to me when you are talking about this i want to hear, you know, who is going to defend capitalism and whether or not this is an opening for the Elizabeth Warren warns to come in say guess what lets change this, lets not be married to shareholders when you look at so he will plans for example, Elizabeth Warren and her Green New Deal or Bernie Sanders and about medicare for all you are talking about a hundred trillion dollars when you add all this stuff up not getting that from overtacking you you are not getting in a from over taxing top 1 not enough money. Look what can va has done to rice veterans homelessness about astonishing i am focused on this understanding the problem. Maria you know, congressman he is talking about you know, homelessness talking about the environment about all the these other issues away from from profitability what is your reaction to the Business Roundtable decision recently and mark benioff . I respect the Business Roundtable i respect leadership mr. Dimon other ceos signed this restatement, or redefinition of corporate purpose they are great Business Leaders they have obviously, maximized shareholder value for their shareholders otherwise wouldnt be where they are i think this is a big mistake maria. I think it is going to be a coastal mistake, look, look where we are in American History right now in the middle of a of an allotting battle between socialism and capitalism cannot have Business Community retreat invite socialist left to interject their social agenda environmental, social agenda into corporate boardrooms right now. The primary goal primary mission of a he corporation should also a be to maximize shareholder value otherwise they cant help their workers they cant, contribute to the communities, if they dont exist because they go bankrupt do not maximize proefkt they cant do all things Business Roundtable says they want to do in terms of a taking care of their consumers or supply chain what i would say is this. Into you interject other priorities other interests, above and beyond, by the way, they elevated stakeholders above shareholders shareholders listed last if redefinition that means that is going to take focus away from the fervent allocations of resources going to result in misallocation of resources going to have a negative impact on he investor returns. That is a terrible situation. In this country where we have a low savings rate, middle class families are vested in the stock 529, 401 k , iras, depending on maximizing returns at a time retiring baby boom generation has 25,000 dollars in savings if Corporate Leaders are no longer going to maximize middle class savings, and maximums myself those returns for middle class americans, that is a a huge crisis for our country, right now. You cannot help your employees you cannot give them a raise you cannot help your supply chain or serve your customers if you are not profoundly, maximizing profitability lowers the cost of capital it means higher mull pelz in equitable market cheaper get very good for earnings very good for growth and job creation, and when the social responsibility of a company of a Public Company is to maximize shareholder value because when you do that you maximize profits taxable increase number of taxpayers because you are adding workers, that means the government is bringing in more revenue so my view that is while may be wellintentioned this kien of a statement from Business Community is going to invite things like this, Elizabeth Warren senator Elizabeth Warren favorite to be democratic nominee for presidency asking corporations and expecting corporations to change the way they do business, to elevate the liberal social policies she wants to cooperate corporations and demanding now that they have made this statement she is demanding that they repurpose their activities to elevate liberal social policies corporations that is not their core mission, corporations should not be tools for the liberal left to advance their environmental, social agenda that has nothing to do, by the way, with the of these corporations. Maria yeah, you said very well congressman, and somebody has got to say it so we appreciate you joining us, to talk about this important issue, please come back soon so we can being have a longer conversation about it, well said congressman thank you. Thank you. Congressman andy barr we will take a break striking a deal uk eu reaching a draft brexit deal live to london very latest. Show you vatican is using technology to bring guidelines prior to younger generations. Back in a minute. Nice. But, uh. Whats up with your. Partner . Not again. Limu thats your reflection. Only pay for what you need. Liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty but when i started seeing things, i didnt know what was happening. So i kept it in. He started believing things that werent true. I knew something was wrong. But i didnt say a word. During the course of their disease around 50 of people with parkinsons may experience hallucinations or delusions. But now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. The only fda approved medicine. Proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinsons. Dont take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. Nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementiarelated psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinsons disease. Nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. Tell your doctor about any changes in medicines youre taking. The most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. We spoke up and it made all the difference. Ask your parkinsons specialist about nuplazid. With drastic deal on brexit, u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson says he and eu about have reformed agreement on uk exit from European Union needs to be approved fox news is live in london with more. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, maria. This is the deal that everyone has been waiting for, three years this is really been in the making very few people knew what was contained within it released today and about negotiations continue right through the night up to the wire. The Sticking Points same that we have been talking about for three years crucially the issue of Northern Ireland border to prevent border between ireland Northern Ireland solution fo next few years Northern Ireland more closely aligned with eu than the rest of the uk unpalatable for some but pal atble for most europe has worried about uk deregulating after brexit financial and other sectors they feel this would undercut europe making uk a low tax low tariff country could help them, that will be a key part of trade negotiations ahead we are still looking through this Draft Agreement to see if they got concessions on that. The key difference between Boris Johnsons detail and theresa mays detail couldnt get through parliament that this one allows the uk to negotiate its own free trade deal, Boris Johnson has talked repeatedly about that deal with u. S. And that is a big selling point for him, this deal also prevents freedom of movement through europe but it is a big but the hardest part is yet to come this deal still needs to pass through British Parliament a vote is scheduled on this saturday. At the moment, Boris Johnson does not seem to have the parliamentary numbers dup northern i he russia party against it without them sifrm wont pass also mps want to remain as well as those who want no deal at all so Boris Johnson has two days to parliament this is right deal will say if you dont vote for this outcomes no deal or no brexit perhaps disconnections he can make to deal with Northern Irish parties one hurdle has been overcome another very big one saturday.

We are going to have to think about what deal is good people will be able to go back to work i mean, people are struggling. But were not going back until we have a good agreement. Reporter maria one thing i think you will find interesting while democrats were publicly displacing support for union members, on the picket lines, trade adviser Peter Navarro was working hidden scenes to broker a deal told he played a Critical Role getting two sides, to this point. Maria all right grady thank you in, detroit this morning, on several weeks now strikes state of prooint companies wework struggling to go pub this year owner reportedly creating a committee to decide on financing, i spoke withiac expedia chairman barry diller about what is not working with wework so that wework is a good idea. Which is to essentially for short term take a longterm review for short term people and organize it you dont need to describe but wework is sound idea, of course, ran so far ahead of themselves got so wild aggressive grandiose all those things pushing beyond limits usually rubberband when you do con tracts snaps it did that. Intaefr owns ufc league ditched plans to go public joining me is former ceo of nasdaq author of the new book market mover Robert Greifeld here a lot to talk about your take on brexit the news there, because you were so involved in potentially having a real foothold in london when you made the bid to acquire london stock change. A while ago. I will get to that first, lets talk about the private situation, wework obviously, a disaster 2019 a biggier for ipos you had Lewandowski Uber peloton, pinterest some great oerts faultering o how would you characterize ipo market and unicorn statues in private. I think what we have clear evidence of is private market valuation does not have to be directly tied to the public market. Private market deals tend to be bilateral you and i negotiate a price that is different than public, everybody gets to participate in the price, you can get the price wrong only two of us one can be wrong so the odds having a wrong price lai wework is higher in private context than public context. Do you feel a private market is competitive in terms of valuations some things i dont know how they come up with valuations. Certain this is clear proof some are too high wework lead capital. Uber same thing. Important the recognize when you see those headline prices for private Company Valuations they are typically not common stock means there are terms to it that if economic value to it so you get headline price but real value is somewhat lower, the phrase if you name a praise to me, i will agree to that price if you agree to my terms, we are seeing that kind of a situation. Public market common stock no terms different valuation. Bob you are perfect guest to have to talk about what is going on in the uk right now we have a draft deal on brexit, where Boris Johnson says he has come up with a great deal actually with eu negotiators urging parliament to pass this saturday of this weekend. You tried to acquire London Stock Exchange running nasdaq how come you never went through with that. A question of price, we would he have been leathered almost 10 times if we acquired back then. That was just before the credit crisis i have a sigh of relief it did not go into credit crisis 10 times leverage. You still had a big stake. M a four hundred Million Dollars sold in a stake worked out the well for us reduced leverage but us on firmer footing to execute rest of the strategic plan. One reason you want to be there it was a Financial Hub. Yes. You know a lot of Business Global geographically positioned very well what is your take on news this morning. I believe, that london as a permit position as Financial Hubbub independently of what happens with brexit, what happens this morning i believe rationality the end of the day wins out the we saw this deal today remits a rational action not hard exit we certainly like to see the Parliament Approve it in short order. You are comfortable with the u. K. Leaving eu. Very much so i think that is going to give the uk other trading opportunity as, outside eu i think it is you know were the people want to be. Do you think parliaments approves it. I think they do not without quite a bit of could motioning. Nasdaq owns nordic exchanges. Greats maem pretty good tell me about the impact to the your horizon with uk out. Well, i would say say i think eurounifiero zone will do quite well existed successfully separate u. S. Has hundreds of years Tradition Agency independent entity eu lvlt new construct to say world wont work without eu, uk in eu doesnt have historical backing to it so i think both parts of europe can do well, they have about negotiated i think will be good. Were you surprised to see hong kong try to acquire London Stock Exchange when youve got millions of people in the street protesting chinas authoritarian rule in hong kong. Two factors i am sure charles ie from hong kong would have liked to move a different time because of what was going on with brexit, hong kong that seems like the worst time to do this but what i think forced his hand llc about to do a deal to extent that deal happens then llc is not containable for hong kong i think two things to respond to choose the alert. Is trump are not a lot of exchanges holely owned to acquire. You have regional exchanges when you look at world Financial Centers new york, london hong kong, where hong kong stays that way or shenzhen beijing we dont know clearly new york london Financial Centers wise move. You tried to scomet into asia as well . We are in asia as Technology Vendor so we have basically a large number of asian i exchanges on intelligent good thing. World changed so much you write about this. Market mover in it you talk about a key lesson in leadership, after facebooks disastrous ipo as you write tell me about that. We had to get better, right . So facebook ipo, you and i spoke about it gave us the opportunity to reflect the okay. What was the actual root cause of this problem. We saw there was a cultural issue we had the cultural issue we did not have enough Technology Strength in the business to stand up to i. T. Function at that time so more balancing of organization there ease to look for surface issue we wanted root cause nasdaq became Better Company a Great Company today. As industry has evolved data became real o important to nasdaq basically the jewel of the bit right. Certainly is one of the jewels data content, content is king. Data is content, we hear about strategic wars dn and netflix but data is kent for exchanges, content is something also a of value key part of the Business Model i think nasdaq a great job Going Forward. Tell me about book how things evolved. Interesting in 2003 started nasdaq you can remember better than others maria the floors still there, you spent many times on the floor, we were at vanguard of the essentially, bringing electrons to the are marketplace really obviating need for a Trading Floor and people come to work on it every day we are living in 2003, in the aftermath of the dot com bust. Great to yet your insights particularly talking about brex brexit. British predominate Boris Johnson with john clawed juncker addressing media after announcing that draft deal lets listen in. Uk by elected representative of the people of u. S. I hope very much now, speaking of that my fellow mps in step do now come together to get brexit done to get this excellent deal over the line, and to do brexit without any more delay. So that we can focus on priorities of the british people, improving our Health Service investing in 20,000 more police lifting minimum wage many, many other things jeanclaude i want to conclude agreeing wholeheartedly with your final point. Now is the moment for us to get brexit done. And then together, to work on building our future partnership which i think could be incredibly positive. Both for the uk, and for the eu. And i just remind you what i always said, that we are a quintessential european country, solid european friends, neighbors, and supporters and we look forward to working with you in building that partnership in the weeks and months to come thank you all very much. As i have jeanclaude here i have to say i am happy about the deal but i am sad about brexit have a good time. [inaudible]. The leader eu leader uk, pro claiming we have a deal as soon as they got to the podium and they are both happy about the u. K. Leaving eu we will see what happens we need to see an actual confirmation this weekend, and to see how parliament votes as fair amount of pushback we told you earlier, the Brexit Party Leader farage urging Uk Parliament reject tentative deal between British Government and european, you know, as they celebrate markets in europe rallying on news fhn up 67 points 1 cac quarante in paris up 3 points dax in germany up 50 points brexit boosting markets in the u.

Maria welcome back, breaking news of the day uk and eu agreed on a draft brexit deal now headed to the british lawmakers joining us Varney Company host Stuart Varney good morning to you. Good morning, maria. Now we have nigel farage on show 20 minutes, 15 minutes from now i understand going to say we should reject the brits should reject this deal that Boris Johnson worked out with European Union i will ask what is his problem i want to look beyond the vote, because quite frankly maria, i cant imagine that parliament will actually turn this thing down, i mean i just cant see that. So i am looking beyond this, and to me, this looks very positive because once the brits are out of the european, you know, they should be out pretty soon we will have a trade deal with the United States. It will be trump and boris. Perfect together. New special relationship i think that is extremely positive. I think that is the way being taken on our market over here this is a plus. It is a trade plus, in the long run. Going to get through that British Parliament i think it will. Maria interview in a few minutes with farage will be so critical we will all be watching he says this is not just brexit that this deal binds britain to the eu in too many ways that pushback this morning. I just i just cant imagine the Parliament Saying no. And going back to square one or wherever it is they go book to, i mean what is it if they say no, are between what . I have simply no idea. He wanted extended to october 31 then wants followed by National Election so, yeah, everybody thinks he wants to become Prime Minister again we will be eyes glued to the screen when you interview him see you top of the hour joining stuart day 9 a.

Jeff keisers farm, indiana is a tough harvest this year right. Yields down typically when yields are down because of weather you get at least high prices, not the case.

Yeah so that is one of the things that has been missing in precision agriculture not to collect data we have had gps a number of years the challenge has been what you do with that information how do you actually share with experts, and get back feedback in time to do something about it ibm engineers have been able to bring information and desooifr the root cause.

Maria President Trump is tweeting on the death of Elijah Cummings. Heres what the president just wrote. My warmest condolences to the family and many friends of congressman Elijah Cummings. I got to see firsthand the strength, passion and wisdom of the highly respected political leader. His work and voice on so many fronts will be very hard, if not impossible, to replace. Final thoughts from this allstar panel . I will go first. We have futures indicated higher. We were talking about the possibility of this brexit deal. We have Uk Parliament voting on saturday. And a u. S. uk bilateral trade deal seems like its on the way. Joe biden has spent almost 2 million more in his president ial campaign raised in the Third Quarter. He has less than 9 million in cash on hand, four times lower than the money that Bernie Sanders has. He spent about 1 million on private jet travel. Save those bucks as your popularity is waning. Keep an eye on housing. Housing numbers look bad. Its important to watch that sector. Maria right to stuart. Thanks so much. Stuart, i owe you huge for yesterday and today. Have a great show. Stuart okay. Good morning, maria. Thanks very much. Good morning, everyone. A brexit deal not yet a done deal. At this point its a Draft Agreement which still needs the approval of the British Parliament. But this is, in my opinion, the most Promising Development in many years. A key point here is no return to a hard border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland. Lets bring this home for a minute. This Draft Agreement means the brits could get out of the European Union and would then be able to negotiate a big trade
