emerson electric wants to buy it and has made a series of officers over the past few months rock well rejecting those un unsolicited offers bryan. >> thank you we begin with breaking news. president trump weighing in on the tax plan saying he wants a bill passed by thanksgiving. >> reporter: it is an aggressive timetable. the president decided to invite the media into a bit of a pep rally. they weren't going to bring the media in they decided to do that. the president made a pitch to those business executives and said what he wants from them is uni unity. here's what he said. >> we need you to be united, committed and proactive in order to overcome the forces fighting

and there are forces fighting that very much benefit by the way it is now but that's batd f -- bad for the country. they know that >> reporter: although the president pitched them on the idea of unity, a number of executives said there are differences within the business community on how taxes ought to be approached. some industries see this differently than some other industries in terms of who wins and who loses. the president was also asked by reporters who were in the room whether or not he felt the corporate tax rate should be phased in. that's something that's been talked about he's not entirely in control of that the lawmakers will be the ones deciding what goes into the bill the expectation is the president who is eager for a legislative

win this year would sent to him whatever deal on tax cuts. >> all right thanks so much we have another breaking news story. a major expansion of the investigation into alleged collusion by drug companies. they are accused of keeping drug prices artificially high the president of mylan is target of the suit. that stock taking a big hit. >> when this was announced back in december it really rocked the generic drug world at the time the suit included two companies and six medicines. it adds 12 companies and names two individual drug company executives as defendants that's what's driving down shares of mylan. the company has deep faith in

the integrity of the president and standing behind him fully. mylan was one of the companies originally named this expanded complaint adds 13 additional drugs saying in some cases prices doubled, tripled or increased 1,000% guys >> stay here connecticut led this investigation beginning in 2014. now it's expanded to 45 states plus d.c. and puerto rico. joining us is connecticut attorney general he's with the agency that's leading the lawsuit. thanks for joining us. you would disagree what are the one or two key findings that show any kind of evidence of collusion or illegal price fixing under the sherman

act? >> what we show is systematic price fixing within the industry the industry is headquartered in mostly northern new jersey and suburbs of philadelphia. the executives and sales people attend industry conferences together, industry dinners together they may golf together we have uncovered through e-mails text messages and telephone patterns plus corporating witnesses a very compelling case of systematic price fixing >> there's e-mail, records of phone calls, records of meetings i know the department of justice has opened a criminal complaint. >> i can't hear you now? >> he cannot hear anything let's try to patch that back in here meg, if you read the complaint,

there's clearly somebody has access because there's phone records, there are e-mail trails okay, he's back. can you hear me? >> i can >> meg, now you sit tight. we'll come back to you thank you very much. the doj has a criminal case open against two gentlemen who work for heritage whichis a division -- are you there? all right. we know the state of connecticut had financial issues i didn't think it went as deep as their telecom sector. >> this is massive complaint, meg. i read lots and lots of text messag messages between sales representatives and attorneys suggest they are arranging don't cut your prices because we want to distribute our market share to a certain degree that we all pre-determi pre-determined do i understand that correctly >> they're alleging a number of

thing things we understand as more and more entrants come on to the market in generic drugs, it's not just when there's one drug on the market that it claps, it's one they come in. it's what they are talk about here is trying to keep competition out of the marketplace. interestingly, ryan was talking about with heritage, this is something that was thought of in a note today really looking at the involvement in former heritage executives maybe cooperating in this investigation. people trying to figure out how much this is going to impact these companies in terms of potential settlements. that what people are speculating about right now. it doesn't look like necessarily huge amount of money >> okay. third's time the charm i should get paid by verizon

are you working alongside the doj or are they working independent? there's a lot of stuff that's redacted, blacked out. >> it's really a parallel investigation. we have a positive working relationship with the justice depts. we have an obligation to enforce our state laws that's what we've been doing we're uncovering new information almost every day this just the tip of the iceberg. >> you cite they go to conferences together and a lot of headquarters are very near each other when i read through this complai complaint, which is massive. you have to believe that dozens and dozens of people are

involved in colluding, price fixing and agreeing with each other they're not going to do certain things would it be that pervasive >> it's really baked into the culture of the industry, unfortunately. in ta days immediately proceeding price increases the evidence is very strong. >> how far back do these allegations go in other words, how deeply rooted in time are they, number one. number two, how much money do you think this alleged collusion cost consumers >> it seems to go back to the better part of a decade. the industry is a $75 billion

industry about 88% of all the drugs, prescriptions that are written are for je negeneric drugs with% for branded. even a small percentage can be very large sum of money. >> you used the phrase tip of the iceberg a few times. i think you used it in december and again today. are you implying there may be more executives named in the future expansion of the suit >> i would not rule it out we would not rule it out that doesn't mean we're splaning any specific individuals at this time >> is there a number that you can put on this gorgeo do you have a big number in mind that would suit you? >> no, it would not be

appropriate for me to comment at this time. >> is it over a billion across all the companies? >> again, 75 billion dollar a year industry. that means even a 5% increase you're talking into the billions of dollars and multiply that times years. it's going to be a big number. >> can you give us an example of one particular drug, what it ended up being priced at through the alleged collusion versus what it should have priced at? it's hard to know what the market price would have determined that's what the market is for but do you have any sense of the disparity? >> when a single generic comes into the market, typically they price it as close as they can to the brand of drug prices three or four competitors get it in, it should drive prices down. do the math, if by collusion you can get drugs priced at 40, 50,

60% of the brand of drug, it's savings off the brand of drug but it's a huge profit huge increase in profit if it's down around 20%. >> connecticut attorney general, thank you very mump for joining us we appreciate it we have reached out to mylan and others if we can get them on, we will >> thanks for having me. the first reviews are in for the new iphone x josh lipton joining us >> is it worth the $1,000? reviewers are weighing in. the most talked about fee chatu and face id and whether it works as advertised. apple passed the test with flying colors recognizing him when he wore a hat or sunglasses or both. at the verge, face id mostly works great. says it was inconsistent this bright sunlight.

still he was fan of that new display. he says this is the best iphone ever made. jeffrey at the washington post says the iphone x might not be for everybody. that's because there's also the cheaper iphone 8 which has technology that a lot of people are going to be more familiar with like a home button, for example. as for the battery, apple says you should get up to two more hours of battery life than the 7. buzzfeed reviewers says battery life was decent though not stellar. apple reports results on thursday it's going to be out quickly it takes apple roughly three months to come into supply, demand balance could it take longer

back to you. >> will the iphone x be a perfect ten for apple and its investors? let's take a look at shares. $168 there's a lot of syllables in there. i hope i got them in i have in my hands an iphone x it is sleek. it is bright it is lovely it is a classic apple design here is it going to deliver the kinds of profits that apple wants to drive the stock to the next level? >> we do think this will be the big game changer for the

company. this will not happen until early next year. i see a scenario where not only will december be fairly robust but march could be a lot less down of what you see the stock will constantly working to the 180, 190 price point. >> over the next six to nine months you see this as a tail wind not just in fiscal '18, but this fiscal year '19 as well. the iphone x, who is its target audience and who's going to want it as compared with the apple 8 plus which is only slightly smaller in screen size who is their target beyond

people who have plenty of discretionary income >> amazing part of the the indiscretional income is most of the purchases is done on a monthly installment basis. it's not as cost prohibitive as it may appear. about 30% of the existing iphone users want to buy the iphone x demand is not just high on the income echelon but spreads a lot further down >> all right thank you very much. >> thank you >> you want this back?

>> no, it's somebody else's. it's not mine. >> i can keep it >> it's a lovely piece of work >> it's pretty the screen is nice >> you go for it immediately you absolutely do. draw your attention to shares of bitcoin hitting another high that the cme group the is planning to launch a bitcoin futures market by the end of the year pending review by regulators. it's a move that could further integrate bitcoin into financial markets and give a larger audience to ability to trade the digital currency some traders say it could also put bitcoin in the same league as oil and gold. you saw bitcoin surpass $6400 this morning terry duffy will be on with more on this move into the bitcoin futures market

size of under armour's wholesale business margins fell more than expected. the shares are down 17% or so today with more than 25% short interest in the stock. we should note that plank has held a majority voting power through a separate voting class of shares since 2015 if you're unhappy, you might have a tough choice there with the way he holds the power >> where did they go wrong what stopped being hot >> i think when they pushed big into shoes which is something that they -- you have to get really right when it comes to performance. i think they've just fallen there. improved a little this quarter over last quarter but still not where they want to be or where they should be for the amount of money they have spent investing there. that's an issue. the apparel is falling off i know some folks we talked to, when you have little kids that aren't too wearing under a ar r armour, it takes away from the

people who want to buy it for the performance aspect adidas is really getting hot and that's hurting nike and under armour >> if you're an under armour investor, is now the time to throw in the towel what do you do hi, anna same question to you how much of this is adidas has a hot hand how much is they're rolling over and no long a hot sector and houho much is an under armour problem they're not executing? >> we've been avoiding the stock all year even today with the dip, we still would not be buying under armour shares. earnings estimates are coming down faster than you would expected we took our 18 down pretty significantly. >> i'm asking why those things are happening. >> it's a combination of things. come is self-inflicted

we think they've gotten and stay stayed stale longer than they should have and haven't innovated as much. the lead times in the industry are still very long. under armour talked about 18 to 20 month lead time in some of the footwear categories. this is at a time when you have adidas innovating more than ever it's still very low. they're lead times have been increasing remarkably. they are out of three athletic companies making the most strides with the speed to market >> we know what's happened investors want know what's going to happen. what do they need to do to fix this thing if you're going to give kevin plank one or two piece of advice, what would they be >> i guess they did hint at evaluating some of the wholesale distribution earlier this

morning. they did not specifically indicate what that means they talked about exiting some of the doors to north america. certainly managing the business with a scarcity value and potentially exiting some doors would be something to think about. also, this year they talked about not increasing marketing as much as they should have. next year there will be some marketing investments as well. so far adidas has opinion successful going after celebrities. >> very quickly, are they going to become a take over target >> i think no. kevin plank still own a lot of stock. we think that will be tough. >> all right thank you.

october, which is weaker part of the year with an average gain of 1 or 2%. this year we're up more than 7%. how about august through october? also supposed to be a treacherous period now the question is have we pulled forward gains from what is a year end rally or strength into the new year. history says not necessarily if you look back at all the years when may to october had a 5% gain, thesubsequent gains o the rest of the year was 5% on top ov that and threw it. >> the prudential financial. good to have you here. >> thank you

several years instead of immediately and where the growth would happen >> that's key. republicans have made the mistake before if you phase in the corporate tax to 20%, they're talking about 3% a year over a 5-year period >> reducing it 3% a year, 35 to 20 >> that's correct. >> trump opposed to that, good for him. he told that this morning according to news reports with his meeting with the brt and the chamber. in 1981, reagan, i was there, we had 70% to 50% and it was phased in over three years. the full effect of that did not happen until 1983 and that's when the economy took off. bush w his tax cut of 2001 was phased in over seven or eight years it was not a bad tax cut but nothing happened until they

accelerated and brought it forward to 2003. in which case immediately the economy took off and had about a five year boom until the financial crisis lets not repeat that mistake people are not going to pull the investment trigger until they get the lowest possible cost of capitol. they're going to wait for that >> there is 2022, that's nuts. this die llutes the whole thingn will take the bang out of it if you go into a store and you see there is a sale, lets say mink coat and i will get you a $10,000 mink coat michelle >> don't tease me. >> why cannot i wear a mink coat >> the point is the sale is six months off >> you wait. >> thank you it is common sense apply ha this will do some damage for the growth impact.

the other thing i want to say as unpopular as this maybe. if the republican party raises the top income tax rate. >> they're talking about something. >> raises are on the table if they do thart, a lot of us ae going to be unhappy. at the highest end, you are talking about people invest. you don't punish success supposedly mr. trump is trying to end the war on success if you raise that to 42% or 44%. >> would you have another bracket? i thought what was happening is 39 39.6 if that comes down a little, right? >> we don't know >> see that's possible the 3 brackets are talking about 12, 25 and 35. that's the baseline right now.

35, fourth bracket can be 37 or 38 i don't like that. i don't care about that stuff. if you take that fourth bracket and put income test, i don't know what it is, a millionaire which sometimes defines a lot less than a million faaire if you drive it up to 44%, trump said no, if you do that, you are going hurt the economy and you are going to hurt invest m these are the people that invest their money and their winnings and earnings it is a terrible idea. >> they're trying to pay for this are they focusing enough in this process? >> growth. >> reducing sping spending >> well, the short answer is yes. it is not beginning to be fabulous it is not. >> the house put out a tough bill but the senate was less tough >> the president has put out tough charges. >> the budget is exactly right >> the thing about this and i got one more -- >> so the difference does not matter anymore >> many republicans had

complained about deficits. >> i don't care. >> suddenly, well, you don't, i am saying in congress. suddenly it appears that deficits does not matter >> some of it, it does >> to pay for i will go back and say the pay for should be 3% plus economic growth that is the ultimate pay for that's the mother of all pay forth. these knicks and knacks, it does not worth the price you have to pay. some people will drop out if they are do not. i don't want to see them screw it up. >> it looks like the real estate lobby won on this.

>> does anything change on the tax that's important to argue. >> that's very important they took it out it just drops out. it was in the trump's plan and the house and all of a sudden, it dies. if you are going to raise the threshold on the top for wealthy people put back the capitol gains tax you know why capitol gains tax reduction raises revenues and promotes investment >> politically distaste full now you give democrats the easy line that you are cutting taxes for the rich >> i don't care. >> millionaires and billionaires >> can i just say, no matter what the gop does. they'll say that >> it does not matter. the gop must not be malmouth by

all these. >> we hear from kevin brady and diane black, little known diane black of tennessee maybe the key of all of this in the house, was she not? >> she's chairman of the budget committee. > >> no. >> and ways of means >> ways of means absolutely. >> we have not heard from her so we don't know necessary. >> this is tax talk now. this goes to the ways and means committee and the leadership one more thing, they're talking about a foreign minimum tax. now, this is not good, right this is this is out there. i don't know what it is going to be it could be a minimum tax on intellectual problem it just means if you bring all your money home and you earn money over seas. that's good, one time deem

appreciation so called intangibles and interest expense you are going to have to pay minimum tax of money shifted back to the united states. this is new and this is not good the business community is going to hate this this is one of the stupid things where they think they are to pay for it it underminds its territory a >> do not pay corporate taxes. i don't want an over sea minimum tax. y i don't want to tax rich people. just do this thing >> next time i want you to school me on territorial tax >> mr. kudlow. >> why do we need a vat? >> you want that, i am happy to talk about that. if you repeal the 16th amendmen which is the income tax then we can sit on this table and talk about vats all day long.

just get rid of the income tax constitutionally >> lets do it. >> larry, it is good to be with you. nasdaq is an eerie month for investors but it has been anything but so far. >> les ths than two hours in it dow is up more than 4% what are the charts saying of the rest of the year our chief market strategist, what do the headlines say, there strazzullo >> look, you have to get below 2500 of the s & p before you raise a red flag i still think the good upside objective of the s & p, 2650 around there that would be a nice place to end the year and the dow some

where around 24,000. even at these record levels, you have to be involved and i still think there is good upside >> you see another hundred plus points to go between now and year end i would like to put that chart up there and talk to me about the line that says fair value which is i think at 2,017,000 for the do 2,017,000 -- 2,017,000 on the dow. do i worry of what you describe as fair value? >> that's a good question, tyler. when luyou look at those charts what you see is the symmetry of the fair value area and the objectives in the dow, if you look at the rally off the march of 2009 lows that shows a tremendous amount of upside that targets 28,000. so the point of that chart is

when you look to a major time frame here, the rally off the march 2009 lows, that time frame still has major upside and so the point is, a lot of people are worried about the market as it extended evaluations and etcetera, i think you need to be involved and of course, you are monitoring the downside and get below 2500, that was the target of october 2013 lows, be careful. otherwise, you still have good upside here and you still want to be long bill, it is good to be with you and thank you and appreciate it. >> my pleasure more than 45 states targeting nearly 20 companies in a drug fixing probe. many of them are getting hit, we'll bring you the latest top technology executives grilled on capitol hill talking about the 2016 election.

shares of mylan are down

big. the president of mylan personally named in the latest complaint, meg tirrell is following this story >> that's right guys the expanded complain ads add 12 companies including lynett and the company found no evidence on the price fixing on the part of mylan. now, it is just a massive suit to read the filing and much of it centers around indian drug

company, m-cure. >> stating that the two companies work together to keep prices higher than they should have been. there is a lot of alleged schemes going on in the suit which is 200 something pages long >> some of them involvedd antibiotics and big diabetes drugs, right >> yes that's right, a combination is one of themme a lot of things are in here. a lot of it is redacted. i asked one of his folks and staffers, why is there so much redacted here? there is an ongoing doj criminal investigation, what's behind those marks could jeopardize the doj's investigations they are not working together but over lapping inspection. >> meg, stick around

lets bring in ronald gal >> maif you read through the indictment, and many of us have skimmed through it is this an over reaction on mylan's stock today? >> um, well, that's a good question i think to some extent a lot of folks expecting thoecem to havea couple oflimited distribution and generics and that mylan is walking to the sideline after this you are right, the lawsuit is primarily around one guy, jason malik, who's orchestrating a lot of collusions and talking to folks that he has colluded >> have you read it?

>> so indictments and papers like this will always make things look bad. when you read it, what's risk is there to the companies that are named in the suit when it comes to the prices? >> there is something there. i am not sure every single company will stick and i wish the best to malik who i hold in high regards professionally. but, it is as small relative industry where people moving from company and company and i have been in some of these events where people meeting each other and people are trying to make their numbers and they're sitting over the same location, you know once this a while a conversation cross over is the line i don't believe there is a general generic. >> you heard it happening, ronny. >> reading the lawsuit, you kind of look at this and going yeah, you know, we are thinking of raising prices and okay,

interesting. >> ronny, we got to cut you off. it is like this all the time we have breaking news. john harwood, breaking news from dc >> reporter: michelle, represent hensarling announced he's retiring from congress at the end of this term of course, he's been a crusader there to roll back the dodd frank financial regulation law that was passed under the obama administration he says it is now for him to spend a little time with family and make more money which is something he will be able to do when he leaves congress. probably also in some ways and illustration of how unpleasant servi services and congress have been. the over riding feeling for jeff is the end of his ten years as chairman and the opportunity to go out to do something when his

kids are still at home >> i didn't hear you jonathan, some of the other folks that we have seen dropping out were going to face a tough racism i don't think hensarling will lose his seat >> so bob corker and hensarling, am i missing some names? there is a big turn here >> that's not just hensarling, people feeling more threaten in their districts and states, those are the people to watch for. i think jeb hensarling is in a different category lets talk about baseball

a negative one year price performance. negative three months so authority, medium and longer term all in a down trend and of those stocks, how many are within 2% of their 52 weeks low. the ones that's hitting those marks on the way down. there is a handful of stocks out there. some of the big names in that list fitting that criteria including smuckers and nordstro as well. and alaskan airlines makes that list another 52 week lows today and shares of chipotle making that list as well if you take a look at these stocks, one that goes down and down, keeping on hits marks of 52 weeks low you wonder if investors are getting burned picking bottoms they still do try, though. game six of the world series is hours away. dodgers fans are hoping their

lawmakers at capitol hill. >> we'll be live from washington haetd. ahead. but they're not what people really invest in. what people really invest in,a. is what they hope to get out of life. but helping them get there takes a pure focus. because when you invest their money without distraction, hidden agenda or competing interests, something wonderful can happen. they might just get what they want out of life, and maybe even more.

you are looking at live pictures, top execs are set to testify of the potential meddling of the 2016 election. julia boorstin is joining us and kayla tausche is joining us. >> well, michelle, this is a hearing that's called working with tech to find a solution by now all three companies have published what they believe to be the scope of the foreign influence on their platform of the 2016 campaign. the tone of the hearing is key there is regulations called the honest act that's on file, a bipartisan effort to try to get more disclosure ahead of the 2018 campaign season will this be an antagonist ic

hearing, that seems impossible to stem or will they be seen as allies of the government to try to solve the problem together. that's what we are going to be looking for this afternoon >> all right, kayla tausche, thank you. facebook and google revealing ads and content from russian sources during the 2016 campaign that were far more widespread than previously thought. julia boorstin is bringing you this part of the story >> more than half u.s. population voters may have seen these. it serves a content of 29 million people more than 11 million people saw the ads, liking and sharing and following those posts expanding

of people who may have seen the content. these numbers are higher and as are twitter. twitter is saying more than 30,000 russian linked to accounts, generating more than 288 million tweets receiving about 288 million impressions. meanwhile, google will reportedly testify the internet research agency uploaded over 1,000 videos on youtube, drawing 309,000 views between mid 2015 and late 2016. all three companies are stressing how relatively small these numbers are compares to their viewer ships and they are working to prevent these kinds of interference. back to you lets bring in our tech,

gentlemen, welcome and good to have you with us >> hello >> is this the day is when we'll remember when things change for google and twitter in washington >> yeah, i think it is a perfect question >> remember the big tobacco executives came down and raised their hand saying tobacco products are not addictive we got polling that we are trying to deal with survey monkey on access.com showing that although people love tech companies, people are getting worried of how they train information and the influence they had >> the number that julia put forward there, some of them sounds very large and some of them are larger than their impact ultimate have be. of 120 something million people

may have seen some contact may have seen seems a little squishy to me. >> these are massive platforms of so many people involved in and what a lot of people we interview, don't pay attention to these kinds of things how well can the leaders explain the platform to the public and lawmakers and regulators to put this in better context if they do a lousy job, it could be be an inflection point >> do you see it that way with respect to the stock of facebook which seems to be the one that was used the most and had the biggest, broadest reach in this case >> so the stock is not reacting to it. it tells you right now at least the professional investors and the reality is, did facebook break any rules? i think originally, what was the advertising and they saw that

one with small but what about the content that was posted and that's a wider implications. then there is questions of where did that content go on top of it the good news in america is you generally you don't get in trouble of breaking rules that does not exist right now that's the case. going forward, how do you balance free speech but still help these platforms do what perceives to be the right thing for america. these companies and facebook and particular lives on advertising, what's the worst case scenario, regulations that could be passed that would hurt their revenue streams at this point. >> the political advertising was relatively small does it matt matter? you have to put a disclosure, and came from the pack the rules online are not as concrete as, for example as television do you make it illegal to police

to accept money from certain sources but that's not the issue, right the issue of what they are saying is potentially russian splu influence forces putting their con at the present titent on. >> nick, we miss one massive thing. there is no departments or agencies could do the job. nothing. >> who could regulate? >> are they going to hire thousands of people? >> they're not going to get in trouble with rules because those rules did not exist. now the people that used these platforms realize there is no rules. so the te maybe congress says you got a person to look at every single one of those ads that would be damaging to their business >> and very expensive. >> absolutely. >> go ahead. >> nick and jason, thank you >> thank you >> the reviews are in.

did apple make a phone of worthy of the hefty price tag we'll ask anjona stern, she's got her hands on the iphone 10 "power lunch" will be right back

just two days left of the reviews of the iphone 10 you know everybody is saying how great it is joanna what's the worst thing about it? >> what's the worst thing about it >> why not fall into the stereotype >> the worse thit thing since ie not fly yet? why does it not do something miraculous honestly, it is an iphone. it is the really good iphone it is definitely how i feel about it i only had it for 24 hours apple did a staggering approach this year. so far, so good. the biggest question many people have had is the facial recognition. i think it works well. it works in the dark, i have done a bunch of tests and it works well in the dark and works

well when you put on glasses and in sunny situation, that was one place where i had a bit of a hiccup and i had to redo it a few times. those everyday thing is pretty good >> i thought the criticism was the price. >> when thit came out and they announced it -- $1,150 is where you want to be at. we have argued and said on the show, price does not matter anymore. the price tag is what you are paying >> you are buying a monthly payment, right >> the monthly payments is one thing. apple has the plus model out now for four years and that's close to a thousand dollars. most people think okay the phone costs $620 here in tuu.s., we stop thinking of phones costing $200 >> i think the $1,000 is no t the biggest sticking point of the phone. >> joanna, we were showing

videos, did you have makeup done for halloween and i saw you were holding your phone against it and another phone. what did you do to test this thing? >> i did four tests yesterday and again, i got the phone for 24 hours i had a mask made for my face. all it takes is a real quick glance of your face and it logs you in that's very good engineering on apple's part that there is a lot going on here. the mask did not work. it was a full carbon copy on my face now and it did not look like me when we put it on someone else it looks like freddy kruger. >> you take that face that was made and put it on another person to see if it works. >> did it work

>> how about the mustache, did it work? >> probably because it blocked my mouth or because i did not grow my mustache overtime which i am not sure i can do, i will get back to you in a couple of years for that >> what did work were triplets i found identical triplets and also one in a million chance apple says there is one in a million chance that somebody else will unlock your phone. those chances are much greater when you have an identical sibling, twin or siblings that looked similar >> did you fool the phone or not? >> oh, it did. i have not slept much for the last 24 hours >> let me ask you a question that occurs to me. what if i don't want to use my facial recognition and i want to hand the phone to brian, would

you call my house and tell him blah, blah, blah >> yes, the same situation that you would have with touch id and you would tell brian a password. >> and so how do i get to that >> you can swipe, if i >> you can just swipe, if it doesn't log you if with the face, it will prompt you to put in your password similar to touch i.d., if you pressed touch icht i. d. a couple times, it would default. >> the neighbor girls next door, my daughter's best friends, known them for eight years, i can't tell them apart. they come to my house, which one are you. >> i have triplets in my office. >> i'm not kidding, i want to see if i can fool the iphone x. >> that's what i did with the triplets, i could not tell the difference they each wore different colors. there was a blue, a red and a green. i called them by their different colors. >> we have to leave it there on

their christmas colors thank you very much. retail is on track for its worst month in more than two years. is it meti to go shopping in the tech sector? sorry, this sector we'll ask two top traders. stay with me, mr. parker. when a critical patient is far from the hospital, the hospital must come to the patient. stay with me, mr. parker. the at&t network is helping first responders connect with medical teams in near real time... stay with me, mr. parker. ...saving time when it matters most. stay with me, mrs. parker. that's the power of and.

any steign of a turn for

retail let's trade it on trading nation xrt with chad morganlander and craig, i'll start with you, technically the chart looks like, i think the term is terrible any sign this is going to turn >> brian, that's a great technical term for this. when you look at the xrt chart, see it looks like a multiyear head and shoulders top at this point in time, brian, it looks like you're making that right shoulder, a break below 38 would suggest that, perhaps, we're going to start a whole other leg lower. size of the head and shoulders top would suggest that you could see 12 points, maybe 10 points downside from here you don't have good support until 30, 32 i don't want to be buying the xrt at this point in time, brian. >> retail, chad, like some sports teams can be overrated. the xrt has been tough not all retail stocks are created equally. avoid the etf and buy walmart? >> yeah, i would avoid the etf all together i think the amazon effect has been massively disruptive and

deflationary to all retail i would look at three companies. because the thematic is the growth of consumption and we think consumption's quite healthy. so look at walmart, for example, we think the transition to online's going quite well. valuation makes sense as long as you're looking three to five years out. starbucks as well, as well as nike we think online, there's a scene of opportunity there all three of these companies are growing, profitable, well capitalized with growing dividends. hence the reason why we're recommending them today. >> yeah, not all etfs are created equally. craig and chad, thank you both very much. for more trading nationing go to our website, which you know by now, tradingnation.cnbc.com. check please" is next. >> now the latest from tradingnation.cnbc.com and a word from our sponsor. >> a double bottom is a chart pattern that suggests the down trend may be ending and ready to reverse. sometimes called a "w" formation because it looks like a "w," a

double bottom occurs when prices form two distinct lows on a chart around the same level. traders often view a break of the highest high in the formation as a bullish signal. hi, i'm the internet!
