gop's kind of poster child for a lot of the campaign over the last several years what kind of competition could former president trump face in 2024 from other republicans? is there a front run teller? obviously everyone is talking about current florida governor ron desantis. >> you hit the nail on the head. ron desantis is a rising star in the gop and he's seen as a top contender against former president donald trump now that he is, in fact, running. another name that's been brought up is former vice president mike pence. and so those are just go names within the republican party that could be stiff competition for former president trump, but it's also important to note trump could face a key matchup against current president joe biden. mr. biden has said he will make his plans or announce his plans about possibly running in the beginning of next year

5:11 am
et they're watching the fed fund rates. we're looking at the interest rates that ticked up in noble's reading. we're not fulling calling in a bottom but we're beginning to be more optimistic. >> kaleialoha, the reason we like featuring you is you have derek contact with many clients out there on the retail side of things, whether they're retail, ultra high net worth i wonder what the interest rate is like right now. is there more -- are there more questions, i guess, coming from your client about the equity sigh of things, the genesis of that, or more on the fixed in and interest rate side of things right now? >> i think in general clients
5:12 am
are just really questioning where the economy's going to go. we're receiving a lot of questions. are we going into recession. if so, is it going to be deep or is it going to be more of a soft landing? we think we're going to be able to sidestep reaction we're here in hawaii and surrounded by the pacific ocean, and so i like to use water analogy. we're looking at three undercurrents, one i mentioned with the fed the second is looking at the dollar and how it has recently fallen i think that lends to some possible opportunities and some of the multi-nationals and even commodities. our clients are asking us not only where are there opportunities, but, again, where is there risk. we're typically preservation of capital-minded, son and trying to sidestep the risk and we definitely see as you've seen in
5:13 am
the cryptocurrency markets, there's still tremendous amounts of risk in some pockets of the market so side-stepping risk, looking for opportunities with really high-quality companies that may have sold off kind of with the baby in the bath water if you will in the recent market downturn and finally the really significant question for our client is when will we know the ultimate results of the mid-term elections. to us, policies matter, leadership matter, community agendas in washington matter, at least set the tone for regulatory action. and in this case, we're telling clients, you know, gridlock is somewhat beneficial for the markets because we can anticipate some of the dollar pressure we saw from regulatory action and possible tax rate increases being alleviated somewhat with the possibility of
5:14 am
gridlock but then yet there's still volatility when we start talking about debt ceiling so i guess bottom line for our clients and concerns, what we're telling them is there are opportunities, but they still need to be cautious and exercise real strong discipline. >> all right i wish i was there with you right now. thank you very much. have a great day >> come visit. >> we will come visit. be sure to join the cnbc financial advisers summit on january 6th where we will discuss key themes of the market turmoil, inflation risk, macroeconomic headwinds and pre providing strategies for all investors out there. scan the qr code you see on the screen to register a huge group of very influential speakers coming up on your screen. when we come back on the show, nasa encountering countless delays and setbacks, feeble launching the artemis rocket and the full moochblt.

all right, welcome back to the show after months of delays and setback, nasa finally launching its first artemis rocket at around 1:45 a.m. eastern time down in florida. it marks the first leg of its expected 26-day journey to the moon and back. our own morgan brennan joins us now with the latest. morgan, this is just the first of what's to be many artemis missions to come how significant is the launch in and of itself? >> it's a historic launch. dom, to your point, fourth time's really the charm here 1:47 eastern time this morning to be exact. this mega moon rocket built by nasa for nasa blasted off from kennedy space center >> three, two, one, boosters and ignition, and lift-off of artemis 1. we rise together back to the moon and beyond.
5:19 am
>> this ushers in a new era of american space exploration it kicks off nasa's artemis program 50 years almost to the month after the final apollo moon landing artemis 1 is this uncrewed mission as it's known. it's now the mosa's deep space capsule. that capsule, which is called orion is going to carry around before it splashes down in the pacific ocean next month it will actually land on the moon it's a major program for na sachlt it's a major program for the space sec to they estimate $40 billion has been spent so far from 2012 to
5:20 am
2 2021 the big contractors include boeing, lockheed martin, others spacex received a contract for starship which is being developed at the lunar portion of this to take astronauts to the moon to give it color, some drama leading into its with some technical issues around the fueling and around the radar, which is part of the reason this launch pushed back about 45 minutes from its original go time when it did actually get up in the air and lift off, jodie, our producer on site at kennedy space center right now tells me it actually triggered car alarms with the power, the thrust of this rocket lifting off. >> all right so, morgan, as we're watching the videos of this again, there's nothing like watching a
5:21 am
rocket take off, a space exploration mission. it's what captivated so many americans over the last several decades, and it's great to see this coming back i guess the conversation tilts a little bit more toward this part of this, i guess, artemis program, which is nasa so much conversation is evolved around the international space station. a collaborative effort, a lot of countries participating. this artemis, how much does it mark the u.s. alone and its attempts at supremacy for space all over again, right? this idea we could be the ones that will now have the front or leading edge on the that next leg of space travel and/or possible colonization down the line >> that's right. i think there's two points to that yes, this marks a shift from what has been focused on low earth orbit by nasa in the last several decades to go back toward deep space.
5:22 am
we've been this idea to your point of colonizing the moon or staying there and being able to study it more closely, capitalize on the resources, and eventually making moon the stopping place, gas station if you will, for trips to mars and beyond years into the future artemis is not going to be -- it's not expected to necessarily be a solely u.s. program and mission, but it does speak to this race that's taking place. we talk about the competitiveness, the strategic competition between u.s. and china here on earth thchlt's something that's playing out where the moon and where space is concerned as well an extension if you will of those power competitions that we see unfolding. >> it 'twas u.s. and soviet union decades ago and today it's

welcome back to "worldwide exchange." i is been a mixed exchange following president biden meeting with china's xi jinping
5:26 am
at the g20 summit on monday. there's a nearly 40% gain just this month meanwhile names like alibaba, jd.com and meituan muted this is all ahead of earnings reports from others coming later this week. joining me is the managing partner at msa capital ben, we often turn to you for color and context. we've spoken to you numerous times about whether the bottom is in for chinese tech, can it be investable again. do you feel like we've seen more data points that make that the case oer is there still more downside to come >> i think in the short term we have the bottom. the 24th of october was an irrational overreaction from western markets particularly around the outcome of the central party congress you know, on that day, i think i
5:27 am
called bottom at least for the midterm. we've seen movements over the last few weeks that we anticipated as the government tries to stabilize everything. we've seen announcements around the property space, seeing zero covid roll backs things are generally on a positive trend could be in more tub lance as they react to evolution on the ground, but it feels more stable today than it did three weeks ago. >> ben, i want to call your attention and viewers and listeners on sirius xm as well and headlines crossing right now. this is coming from reuters. the headlines say basically the u.s. watchdog gained good assets to audits of chinese they gained good access in
5:28 am
auditing work done on new york-listed chinese firms during a seven-week inspection. four sources of the matter said a key step toward a long-standing bilateral dispute. this is a reuters report citing sources. that's held in the premarket some of these u.s. listed chinese tech stocks like jd and others up in the markets do you believe as though, ben, this kind of improved transparency into the books, so to speak, accounting and financials at chinese firms, could provide more clarity for investments going forward? >> we've heard similar reports and rumors over the last couple of weeks the overboard folks were doing an inspection. it wrapped up faster than expected and we were told it was satisfactory that hopefully starts to
5:29 am
diminish some of these threats, that there could be massive listings listed on u.s. exchanges and hopefully paves the way for future listings. we essentially had an entire shutdown for lists of chinese companies since the listing in the middle of 2021 a critical move. but, again, part of those list of actions that we expected to come that were very much within the control of chinese government regulators to improve conditions for global investors in the market. >> ben, it's not all rose-colored glasses here. there are reasons why the chinese tech sector has been under pressure for the better part of the last year or two are there still things that worry you about investing in some of these chinese tech stocks >> certainly certainly the lack of clarity around the regulatory conditions in the market continues to be perv pervasive. there is still a broken sense of
5:30 am
trust and west eaern investors today don't believe they can believe the chinese market they don't have access to primary sources. i'm also fearful of geopolitical risks as it pertains to the u.s. government i think there's a potential for looming u.s. capitol ban into china, something that could come by an executive action in the coming weeks that could affect the capital in the chinese market from the united states. so those types of bilateral geopoliticalrisks are pervasiv as we have seen coming out of the u.s. essentially sanctioned type actions in the last month in the chinese chip space. >> ben harburg, msa. we appreciate it. call it a taylor swift tech glitch as the pop star proves too popular. yes, maybe not shocking there. too popular for the likes of too popular for the likes of livenation and ticketm

5:36 am
releases. >> a lot of fans trying to shake it off silvana, thank you very much for those headlines. earning season rolls on. target set to report this morning before the opening bell on the heels of walmart's stronger than expected third quarter results yesterday. walmart shares climbing in yesterday's session after the company raised its fourth quarter guidance and initiated a fresh $20 billion share buyback program,walmart looking to see if target was able to deal with its inventory and added shoppers basically our next guest spends time with the companies we spend money at. my understanding is that the full year outlook was raised because of the significant rate, but the fourth quarter still remains relatively unchanged is that, though, a positive that
5:37 am
can carry through to the rest of retail >> well, dominic, thinkly are elements that will carry through to the rest of retail, but there are also elements for walmart that it's executing at a high level and it's probably taking market shares against the more affluent community of consumers. with that being said, i think target is going to show progress both from a sales side as consumers rely on target for household essentials and food products as well as other items. it will help make progress with its inventory. it always tends to be volatile around its print i think if you take an intermediate to longer term view with the stock, it's going to be a good one to own in 2023. >> all right so that implies then that you likely have a favorability rating, possibly a buy on this stock. is there anything catalyst-wise you would be looking for in targets results later on this morning that you feel could give it the same kind of or similar
5:38 am
price action to what we saw with walmart yesterday on the heels of what is announced >> well, what the market is going to be looking for is a couple of things one, how is it making progress with that inventory position it came into the quarter saying it had $200 million to work through. we think it made good progress with that, and likely will come into the fourth quarter in much better shape number two, how are all the different promotions that we're seeing across the retail industry already for the holidays going to impact target's ability to compete? there's a lot of concern out there that target is going to have to lower its implied fourth quarter guidance to reflect the intensely competitive environment. if that's the case and it creates volatility around the stock, it's just going to make a better entry point for what should be a very good name to own into next year. >> and, michael, before we let you go, this is the
5:39 am
all-important entry into the holiday shopping season. for many retailers out there, do you have a favorite if it is or isn't target >> target's one of our top ideas. we also like other defensive oriented gains like dollar general, o'reilly automotive we near a very uncertain economic period. our view is you want to take a more defensive posture for at least the next six months because of all the pressure that's weighing on the consumer. >> michael harasser with all things retail. to a developing story and what could be the next shoe to drop in the wake of the collapse of ftx, this amid new calls for crypto regulation in washington, dc, no surprise there. cnbc.com's mackenzie segal with the latest on what we can expect on the latest news cycle with ftx. mac. >> that's right. it's blockfi reportedly preparing for a potential

bankruptcy filing, this after they halted withdrawals of customer profits now, blockfi is one of several companies that signed deals to be rescued by ftx over the summer after a sharp plunge in crypto prices. blockfi obtained a revolving loan and they gave ftx an option to purchase the company. dom? >> so, mac, we're also following reports that sam bankman freed, sbf as many people call him on social media, could be making his way back stateside of his own free will or by other means. can you tell us more about that? >> yeah some of bloomberg is reporting both u.s. and bahamian authorities are discussing the possibility of bringing bankman

welcome back to "worldwide exchange." former president donald trump officially launching his 2024 presidential campaign telling would-be voters he's back to make america great again again the announcement comes just a week after republicans lost key midterm races, some in the party to blame president trump for the lack of the red wave eamon javers joins us more with the announcement and potential maga makeover, again ea eamon, is this make america glorious again >> it is the president who was involved in an insurrection of the capitol announced again he's going to run again in 2024 to
5:47 am
retain the office. the former president used the phrase make more great again it was incomplete. here it is again. >> our country was great it's not great anymore it's the laughingstock it can be greater than it ever was before, by a lot there will be more, much more to come in the months ahead there are so many things we can do >> now t campaign announcement was not ignored by the white house. president biden is traveling overseas but he issued a tweet last night in response to the former president's announcement saying that donald trump failed america and releasing a video pointedly criticizing trump's entire term in office point by point from the current president of the united states so clearly at the white house, they're taking this as a political threat to joe biden should joe biden decide to run
5:48 am
again. that decision has not been forthcoming yet. but the former president donald trump is a much diminished figure here, dom, after those midterm elections as you pointed out. we saw an announcement last night from this daughter ivanka trump who was a senior white house official in the first administration said she will not be participating in politic this time around, dom. >> forget about joe biden and the democratic party president trump face as very staunch battle within his own battle with regard to who's going to be the figurehead, the mantle barer for the gop in the presidential election. can you take us through the landscape there and just who becomes the biggest -- threat is maybe not the right word -- the biggest competitor in the gop? >> at this point, dom, you have to say donald trump would be the front-runner for the nomination. he controls an enormous swath of
5:49 am
the party. the question is can any other figure in the party challenge him head-to-head since his announcement ron desantis in florida seems to be the most likely figure to have the power to do that, particularly emerging from the midterms relatively stronger than so manufacture of donald trump's candidates he said, look, this is a person who pushes candidates who are too extreme to win and costs us the mid temp elections where we had a chance to take over the house and senate that didn't happen trump getting a lot of blame for that inside the party. i think the big question is what does maga mean these days particularly when it comes to business in corporate america? is this a maga movement that's acceptable to sort of bash individual companies, tell individual ceos what to do, what do these culture wars mean in
5:50 am
terms of guy rites and abortions and what do those mean for profitability and corporations across the economy a lot of people are looking at this and wondering if they'll get the support and executive support. >> i'm glad you brought it up. there's been a lot of news, many headlines with regard to the so-called so to speak maga donors in the republican party those people, the captains of industry, big hedge fund people, wall street titans who have supported the gop before, are there worries they are tilting away from president trump and the maga movement? >> sure, absolutely. we've got reporting to that effect on cnbc.com right now there are worries among the trump campaign folks that he'll be -- it will be difficult for him to attract corporate donors. it was already difficult for him to attract donors back in 2020 there were ceos who supported

trump the last time around a lot of them had backed away from him by the time of the 2020 campaign the people who did tend to support him tended to be ceos who owned their companies outright or private companies and founders who had no board of directors to tell them what to do or people who controlled their board of directs or who had a handle on it people at publicly traded companies with active boards tended to not be in a position i would expect that will be the same this time around, dom. >> eamon javers with the latest on former president donald trump's reelection bid for 2024. thank you very much.

seven trading days do you feel like that means we all should get better about putting a shopping list together >> i don't know that that's what it means, we should get our shopping list together i think we've had a lot of volatility this year, which creates tremendous opportunity, especially for people with a longer time horizon in the latest quarter and that's what creates the opportunity here, dom. >> if the opportunity is there, which parts of the market have become in your mind become attractive given the recent selloff? >> let's start with financials i think that's an era that's gotten hit pretty hard we think the bank looks good they've invested hugely in technology they're the largest investor or i should say lender to small businesses by a long shot, more than 50% more than the next

competitor they employee provide loans for businesses i think other banks really can't compete in the long run. you're getting a bank that is discounted because it's a bank and because it's working with small businesses and certainly that's a challenge part of the economy in the short term, but i think in the long term we know that can be the engine of our recovery, and they've invested in a technology that you essentially get access to at a very, very lowdown side. >> now, heather, it's also retail earnings season, the retail end focuses on big names. walmart yesterday, we've got target out later on today. what do you think the retail side of things looks like in your mind and are there opportunities there? >> i do think there are opportunities there, but i think things can get worse before they get better you have to go into some of these situations knowing that. one company reported yesterday i thought we might talk a little bit about, too, is home depot.

5:57 am
their sale per square foot is higher than their closest competitor there are fun things about home depot we think is really interesting. >> a couple of big picks from heather brilliant of diamond hill thank you so much. >> thank you, dom. that does it for us here at "worldwide exchange. the dow implied higher by orwi ehae"iloints.
