5:08 am
it's unclear whether he will try to keep going and delay when democrats come back in and try to vote today on the president's spending bill. >> forgive me for my ignorance here when house minority leader takes the floor like that, or nancy pelosi does, do they take bathroom breaks? do they do this for eight plus straight hours. >> reporter: as far as i can tell through most of it, i believe he has not left through eight hours. that's right the house does not have a filibuster, this is not a filibuster, he had one minute to speak but if you're in leadership you're allowed to take as long as you want for the minute it's called the magic minute and his magic minute has lasted around 8 1/2 hours >> he doesn't look tired. >> his voice has been struggling, taking a lot of water and pepper mints rj.

5:11 am
note right now, and if we have the live shot, i'd like to see if we could put it up here kevin mccarthy, house minority leader, kevin mccarthy, the republican from california has finally yielded the floor after eight plus hours this is 8:38 p.m. last night 8:38 p.m. last night is when house minority leader kevin mccarthy started talking about the infrastructure bill or the social spending bill, and he has just now in the last couple of minutes finally yielded the floor. you can see the smiles coming from some of the staff that may have been there for the entire eight plus hours now the house is now by the way adjourned until 8:00 a.m. eastern time i wanted to, robert, make note of that because he has been talking since 8:38 p.m. last night. robert, let's get back to the markets here we talk about some of the issues that maybe republicans have an
5:12 am
issue with with regard to this social spending package, that is maybe the inflationary pressures that could be brought about. is inflation a worry for you at this point, robert >> it is inflation has been lingering longer than most have expected while i think the inflationary forces are largely driven by covid and logistical problems that will be solved between now and march. i think the next few months are a window of higher opportunity partly from inflation, changes at the fed, debt ceiling, and we have covid lingering here. i think we're in a period we could see some churn but i think it resolves itself and i have a positive outlook for next year. >> we're showing charts of the nasdaq, dow, s&p, you name it. and the lines for the most part are 30 degree up angles from the lower left to the upper right. there hasn't been a pull back of real note in quite some time now. when you say churn, a little bit
5:13 am
of opportunity perhaps how big of an opportunity is it? am i looking for a 3 to 4% pull back, 7 to 10% pullback or something deeper >> perhaps somewhere in the middle and it depends on how the threads come together. i think inflation will resolve itself but it's going to remain high the next several months if you put that against the backdrop in the battle in congress whether over the spending bill, the debt ceiling, the fed chair, that puts things in a way we could see the moderate size correction, more of the 5 to 10% variety. that's the short term basis and the longer outlook is sound. >> what do you look for in those opportunities? is it still megacap technology, social media companies or full on cyclical materials type of names? >> we have a long runway for
5:14 am
growth as we put people back to work and reopen sectors that have been problems there's been a lot of concerns about margins but they have done quite well 700 of the 1000 in the russell have better than average we think there's a rich opportunity set. i would focus in the barbell approach there is still cyclicality in the market and within technology i think we're focused on the areas that are going to continue to add to prod produ productivity not so much the social side. >> have a nice weekend, sir. thank you very much. >> thank you. when we come back, this morning's money movers, including another company taking off in its first day as a public company. is business travel on its way back many industries are counting on it new numbers, how it's going, it's shaking out in a choppy way. a busy hour still eawhahd en

5:22 am
welcome back it's been two weeks since the u.s. officially opened borders to travelers from across the pond and pwc has crunched the numbers when it comes to the key business travel segment that many parts of hospitality are looking forward to joining me now with the findings scott burrman. good morning to you. let's talk about how critical, how important that business traveler is to the hospitality
5:23 am
and leisure industry >> good morning, dom it's extremely important and certainly the industry is feeling a lot better than it did, say, six months ago certainly corporate travel is showing pockets of strength. it's not all the way back. and it's going to take the good part of 2022 before we can really tell where corporate travel in the u.s. is. i can tell you, though, that the corporate travel market is doing much better and that the leisure segment, as well, has carried the day. and we have a new term it's called leisure. and that is the blending of business and leisure where you'll find a corporate traveler, spending a few days doing business and then vacationing on the same trip
5:24 am
and so, we came up with the word stay-cation during the great recession. the industry has created a new word called bleisure. >> it curs to me throughout the course of travel, there has been a mixing of business and pleasure, certainly exacerbated by the pandemic right now. can you tell us specifically about where you see specific pockets of strength. are there key pockets to the business travel? is it in terms of flights, hotehote bookings, sit restaurants? where do you think the most impact will be felt? >> it's the convergence of all of those, dom. and i think it really does depend on where you reside for instance, markets like l.a., phoenix, miami are showing real strength compared to some of the
5:25 am
cities up north, new york, chicago, minneapolis, san francisco continue to lag. right. and so, when you think about those markets that can take advantage of both business and leisure, and i should add, group travel, right, conventions are starting to come back. the bookings for 2022 look extremely strong, and so those are the metrics that we're analyzing, you know, to see how things play out. so we need -- >> so scott. >> -- all three working in tandem. >> it sounds all three working in tandem, myself i haven't done a lot of business travel, you see me in the studio all the time here these days in the pandemic, but i've been able to take advantage of some great prices for flights and hotels over the course of the last, say, six, seven months here. can i expect the same thing or am i going to see prices going higher for things like hotel
5:26 am
rooms and airline tickets as well >> no question pricing power has been with the consumer but that is changing and i think that this recovery, at least in the hotel segment, is going to be driven by the strength of pricing. and so, the translation there, dom, is that consumers are going to be paying more for their hotel rooms across the u.s now, in high demand periods like the holidays, that's when you're going to see the highest pricing. will there be deals? sure but you got to find those. and i would suggest that that period between thanksgiving and christmas is a good time to look for a deal >> all right looking for deals for sure i'm trying to look towards next year and what vacations i can line up. scott berman from pwc. thank you very much. >> thanks, dom. let's get a check on the other top headlines. phillip mena is in new york with
5:27 am
those. good morning. >> good morning to you dom in wisconsin jury deliberations are headed to the fourth day in the kyle rittenhouse trial jurors remain behind closed doors yesterday and we didn't hear much from the judge. just hours before he was set to be executed oklahoma's governor commuted julius jones' sentence yesterday to this day jones maintains he's innocent and he was framed by the actual killer. and check this out, alive look now at the longest lunar eclipse in nearly 600 years. we're watching the tail end of this, the moon almost entirely eclipsed just over an hour ago but it lasted about six hours in total. i'm glad we're able to show you that clear picture of it, because in the northeast the cloud cover obstructed our view of this event.
5:28 am
>> last night i remember, not just cloud cover we got precipitation, we got rain overnight as well in certain parts of the northeast so something to watch. if you can get out and see it, check it out phillip mena, have a nice weekend. >> you too ahead on the show, it's the big box versus main street when it comes to retail dana chelsea breaks down the names you need to watch headed into the key holiday shopping season we'll be right back. -had enough? -no... arthritis. here. new aspercreme arthritis. full prescription-strength? reduces inflammation? thank the gods. don't thank them too soon. kick pain in the aspercreme.

5:32 am
were implied down 30, 40, 50 points or so the dow jones is implied lower by 100 points now. we're seeing a leg lower in the course of the past half hour or so and some folks are attributing this to the idea that austria has gone into full covid lockdown so those concerns playing out a little bit there what's going to happen to elsewhere around the world, here in the u.s., other places in europe, maybe asia as well you can see european markets are now at least modestly to the down side. the german dax just down about.1% and a similar decline for the ftse 100 and the cac also checking on some of the reopening stocks the companies that benefit as the economy starts to emerge from the covid pandemic. you can see united, american, southwest, delta airlines all
5:33 am
down roughly 1% or so in the premarket trade, weaker yesterdayas well checking on the treasury side of things, watching the 10 year yield, just about -- well, this is the marriott and hilton you can see 10 year note yield lower to 1.562%. and the 10 year lower to 1.4%. now to capitol hill where house republicans have successfully delayed a vote on president biden's 1. $75 trillion social spending package, kevin mccarthy leading that charge speaking on the house floor for more than 8.5 hours wrapping up less than 25 minutes ago after taking the mic after just after 8:30 p.m. eastern time ylan mui joins us now. that was a long time what was the point of the conversation there it's not a filibuster we get it,
5:34 am
but what can you talk about for 8.5 hours on this particular move >> reporter: he talked about everything under the sun from the border to the democrats' social spending package to personal anecdotes about members of congress. but it was the longest speech ever on the house floor, as you mentioned, clocking in at just about 8.5 hours. he got a standing ovation from republicans at least when he was done >> there's a record. there's a record i'm competitive. i'm competitive. >> reporter: now that record he was referring to was set by none other than house speaker nancy pelosi herself in 2018 and the point of that speech-a-thon was to delay the long awaited final vote on democrats' social package in the house. it's expected at 8:00 a.m. and it is expected to pass
5:35 am
democrats having convinced moderates to vote for the bill after the cbo found the package would add $367 billion to the deficit over the next decade but that projection does not include any additional money from enhanced irs enforcement. the cbo said that would raise another $127 billion on net. but the white house argued that number is probably like $400 billion, which would mean that the package more than pays for itself that was enough to winmurphy last night she called the bill fiscally disciplined but they have lost gerald golden, he plans to vote against the package because of the cap on increased state and local deductions and remember, this vote in the house, this whole delayed process, this is supposed to be the easy vote. there are even bigger hurdles and potentially longer floor
5:36 am
speeches waiting ahead for democrats when the bill reaches the senate. >> you read my mind, because i'm thinking to myself, what's it going to play like out in the senate then? what exactly are the key issues that folks like senator manchin from west virginia and senator kyrsten sinema will be trying to figure out with debate when it reaches the upper chamber? >> reporter: there is one provision in the package that we know senator manchin has concerns about, the provision around paid family and medical leave. he does not want to create a brand new from scratch, another one is what lost democrats the vote of gerald golden, the cap on state and local tax deductions the cables from the official scorekeepers that show who benefits from that tax cut,
5:37 am
really, is primarily skewed towards the wealthy. and that's a concern for democrats on the progressive side and they are determined to make those distributional tables look a little bit better >> the state and local tax deduction issues, a huge one because it highlights the cost of living issues and disparities we have across many parts of the country from coastal areas in the northeast to the interior of our country as well. thank you for the update there on what's happening with the senate and the house floor right now. to the other top stories silvana isback with those. good morning. >> good morning, a bipartisan coalition of state attorneys general is investigating how instagram attracting young people increasing pressure on facebook, led by eight states including massachusetts and nebraska, the

5:39 am
official start of the holiday shopping season on black friday. the latest to ring in with the positive results yesterday, department stores like macy's and kohl's, both raising their profit and sales outlooks for the year after third quarter sales beat forecasts macy's has taken steps to ensure it has enough inventory on hand to offset any supply chain disruptions. their ceo spoke with jim crammer last night. >> we're in a healthier place than we were entering the pandemic look at our balance sheet, we had the opportunity to invest in our business and a good post today thanks to 100,000 colleagues a that wake up every day ready to serve the customer. >> let's talk more about the retailers and the holiday shopping season with the ceo of the chief research officer at the tellsy advisory group.
5:40 am
we have the great resuls from the retailers, what does it say about the expeck atttations fors holiday season >> the expectations are moving higher the consumer is resilient and strong they have a higher savings rate, wages are up year over year and significant pent up demand to gather and socialize it's interesting that you're seeing -- you just had the previous guest talk about leisure, business and leisure. look at what thanksgiving is going to look like more families are going to gather together. the retailers overall have been able to manage through the the supply chain difficulties. they are real we'll see it through the first half of 2022 but the big have been able to get the inventory that they need and are now planning for easter. it's an exciting time for retail their expenses have been reduced. there's a better flow through to the bottom line. we've never seen as much full
5:41 am
price selling and that's the question for 2022. what's sustainable in terms of these full prices out there. >> less promotional environment, we're seeing video of foot traffic that should be up better than last year given the easy comp during the pandemic who benefit as shoppers get out to more normal activities. >> when foot traffic last year is estimated to have been down 35% during black friday weekend, anything is going to look better for a black friday weekend coming up. and most stores this year are closed on thanksgiving day, so you don't have that comparison i think yes, you'll see the department stores do better, the discounters, walmarts and targets get their fair share of traffic. let's talk about the specialty retailers, too given that people want to dress up and haven't bought new clothes for nearly two years. the levies, bath and body works
5:42 am
is a winner for the holiday season we'll see certainly an uptick. >> are you worried at all about profit margins we've heard walmart and target say they're going to try to absorb some of the cost pressures and not pass them to consumers. is that a short term thing as investors worry about the profit margins >> i think over the next few quarters it is something to be concerned about because we've had what's sustainable in terms of the level of margins when inventories normalize. but overall, i think 2022 and the set up for the consumer is continuing to be strong. if we can have higher than expected sales, which it seems we're on that path to, especially with discretionary goods, there's flow through to come because i expect the guidance of the retailers guiding through 2022, they're going to be conservative in the margin guidance because you can't set up expectations for trees to grow to the sky.
5:43 am
>> of course not they have to manage the expectations dana telsey thank you. have a nice weekend. >> thank you you too. coming up on the show, do you have lunch plans i do if you're a power player, which i'm not, in new york you probably have lunch plans. robert frank looks at how the masters of the universe, the big shots, are spending their afternoons is the "power lunch" back? as we head to break, first quarter sales and first quarter profit and revenue guidance missing estimates. shortages are slowing supply chain of chip equipment. sales would have been $300 million higher without supply chain constraints shares of farfetch tumbling as the third quarter sales missed expectations the stock had rallies late last week after they confirmed they were in the talks with r
5:44 am
5:45 am
5:46 am
5:47 am
are talking about the return of the power lunch. robert frank joins us from new york just about this time i think i can use some pizza or chicken parm, but the power lunch is maybe back for real this time? >> it's always lunchtime somewhere, maybe our french viewers this is important. and look at new york city, less than a thursday of new york city workers are back in the office but the power lunch is back in full swing after being closed for lunch for over a year the dining rooms of the elite are open and filling up fast, look at michaels, the grill, all those big power places nearly back to their former capacity at lunch, prime 12:30 reservations hard to get at some of these places and there are battles over the prime tables because it's all about where you sit in these places. but the pandemic has brought some changes hybrid work weeks means tables are packed on wednesday but
5:48 am
emptier on mondays and fridays the groups are smaller many executives still prefer to be outdoors dining rather than indoors. some of the menus are a little more limited and managers say more power lunches are drinking again. there are fewer restaurants in total in new york city, we lost about 2,000 of the 27,000 restaurants in new york. but there are more reopening and new dining spots like zero bond, that's where the new york mayor celebrated his recent elections are popular with the younger power elite. the biggest challenge as you might expect and we've been talking about on cnbc for weeks, the biggest problem for the restaurants is finding workers many have not opened for lunch not because of a lack of demand but because of a lack of space >> it's amazing because, you know, i thought to myself, listening to your report there, that there are certain restaurants near me that cannot
5:49 am
operate at full capacity, they have to shut at certain times during the day, because they explit sitly have siegns on ther doors saying they cannot find enough people to staff their operations what's the outlook for these restaurants? do the power restaurants feel as though in the winter when people don't want to eat outside, even with heaters and they can't find help is it still looking good going into january, february and march? >> reporter: they're hoping the labor market loosens up a bit. it's still down about 40% restaurant wise in new york. it's not because we have fewer than 40% of restaurants. it's because they can't find workers. some places said to me, we can't open for dinner on monday and friday because we don't have the staff. so some of the places aren't
5:50 am
open for dinner five or seven days a week like they used to be so until they sort that out they can't open for capacity at lunch. that's the problem right now, staff. >> we're not talking about opening a restaurant in new york, paying a rent and not being able to sell product at a certain point in time. this is a huge issue around the country. thank you. coming up, a look at insider buying activities, well known names and one company's chrmaian making a big purchase for the first time ever. that's coming up
