5:14 am
5:15 am
that google evolved from a company that gets answer toss a company that helps you get things done. that is enough to satisfy investors? because shares are taking a beating today. >> yeah, so there are a number of factors happening in the third quarter earnings. right personally, i thought the earnings in the quarter were going to be weaker than they are. we have pressure coming up against maybe a late cycle. how much is desel decelerating l growth affecting prices? yesterday, google was up like crazy. also, coming up against all-time highs. we have questions around china trade. we have questions around the fed. so if google can hold 12, 65, i think it's going to be in great shape and investors will stay engaged of. there's a trend moving you away from having just the tech stocks carry the market higher and value's seen an uptick lately. lauren: you did bring up china
5:16 am
trade. i'm curious, all the concern about the tariffs affecting corporations and customers. 40% of the market, they reported earnings and 60% have beaten when it comes to sales, their revenue, their overall top-line growth. are the tariffs having an impact? >> well, it's so hard to predict what the lag is going to be. you implement these changes in the economic system, whether it's a rate cut or balance sheet adjustments or tariffs or these things, it's just so hard to he predict when it's actually going to hit. and i think it's been surprising, as you say, they haven't seemed to taken effect. 60% of the companies that have reported so far have guided lower for the fourth quarter. so is that a tariffs issue? it's hard to say. is it decelerating global growth? the other thing, are we going to have a breakout with all-time highs across the board or do we see economic data coming in like jobs numbers on friday, is that going to make a difference and how strong is the economic data
5:17 am
against the backdrop of the all-time highs. lauren: particularly manufacturing and that's got to affect general motors when they report their you numbers today. >> absolutely. i'm excited about general mow tops. but i -- motors -- lauren: excited? >> i'm looking at charts but i'm not predicting, i'm not making any calls about what i'm seeing. lauren: what's exciting about the charts? >> well, with gm, particularly, i think that if gm holds 37, 50, then they could be potentially off to the races. they've got to put that in the rear view mirror. they can't be affected by the r other news, manufacturing, trade, the subprime auto loan marcmarket. if it trades above 37, 50, i think gm will continue moving higher. lauren: we're about a buck away now. thank you for joining us. cheryl: hong kong officials
5:18 am
barred joshua wong from running in local elections scheduled for next month. pro democracy candidates had looked poised to gain ground there. the hong kong government justified its actions based on the belief that wong is advocating for hong kong's full independence from china. the creators of south park and viacom reportedly expect to share about $500 million by selling the streaming rights to the show l. bloomburg says as many as half a dozen companies are in a bidding war to get south park and a deal could be secured by the end of this year. we'll have much more on the streaming wars coming up later on in the show. and sticking with entertainment, david benioff and benny weiss are leaving the galaxy to be closer to home. they are no longer working on a planned star wars trilogy, in

5:33 am
after house speaker nancy pelosi announces a vote to formalize the impeachment inquiry against president trump on thursday. senator lindsey graham defending the president and comparing the vote to the unringing of a bell. >> it's dead on arrival in the senate. he did nothing wrong. i've seen no evidence of misconduct by the president at all. this whole thing is a sham. if you're going to start this process in the intel committee, it's incumbent upon every american to know who the whistleblower is. without the whistleblower, there would be no inquiry. lauren: president trump tweeting in part, the only crimes in the impeachment hoax were committed by shifty adam schiff. cheryl: young americans continue to take a cynical view of capitalism. a new poll out shows 70% of millennials are open to voting for a socialist. 20% say they're extremely likely to do so. what does that mean for the upcoming election? let's bring in anders huckstrom.
5:34 am
one in three millennials actually see communism as favorable. you're a millennial, what do you make of the numbers. >> there's an old saying if you're not a socialist when you're 20, you have no heart and if you're a socialist when you're 40 you have to brain. i don't think that's true. there's a an aging thing. people age out and start to believe that capitalism is a much better thing. i think part of the reason that my generation thinks these things, it's like when i was growing up, i never knew a world where there wasn't a mcdonald's on every corner and the main economic occurrence of our generation is the 2008 great recession which has wildly been blamed on wall street and capitalism as we see it. i think that is really the influence that causes a lot of people in my generation to see -- to look for an alternative if that makes sense. cheryl: you know what concerns me about your generation and those that are younger than you, is that they are backing a candidate like elizabeth warren or person ben and wall street is
5:35 am
very -- or bernie sanders and wall street i street is concerne it would destroy capitalism. doesn't this young generation think about their future, about their 401-k, their savings and retirement? maybe they don't. >> maybe they're really not looking that far ahead. like you said, wall street, all that wall street wants is consistency. they want to be told what's going to be happening, they want everything to be reliable and that's why when you see the results of this chinese trade war, that's not reliable and so they don't like it. but compare that to what would happen with a bernie sanders or an elizabeth warren presidency, it would be -- it's totally incomparable. it would be an enemy of capitalism and like you said, it could be disastrous for 401-ks, it could be disastrous for the way had that this country has worked for the past 200 years. cheryl: this makes me think about pete buttigieg and the fact we're seeing him go more moderate. he's young rer. hyounger.he seems to connect moh
5:36 am
the younger voters. and it seems like he's going into the middle lane to give joe biden challenge. it's early. we have a year to go. what do you think of pete buttigieg. >> i think he could play a role in siphoning more votes away from joe biden, and that would increase the potential that a warren and sanders have to beat biden essentially. i think he could definitely serve as a sour for joe biden going into 2020. cheryl: anders, your generation is fascinating and it may be a big voice in our election. thank you for the commentary this morning. >> thank for having me. lauren: mark zuckerberg is facing criticism for facebook's failure to crack down on false political ads. this time the criticism is coming from his employees. in a letter obtained by the new york times, hundreds of workers blasted zuckerberg for his refusal to police false statements and misinformation,

5:43 am
>> what we're going to do is we're going to live longer than previous generations and we're going to need to spend a lot of money on housing and healthcare. so i think that $30 trillion or $60 trillion, lot of numbers have been thrown out there, i think that will be spent down a bit. it will be spent into the economy. at the end, they'll transfer the wealth to their children which could be gen-x or mil millennia. lauren: your kids' inheritance isn't going to be -- cheryl did a political segment, how millennials are affecting the election. they're going to be the biggest generation and maybe the richest generation. how are they different? >> i think they're the biggest generation. i think the fact they're digital native, gen z is probably nor digitally native than the millennials. lauren: the iphone came out
5:44 am
in 2007. >> i think they're going to interact in commerce much differently than their parents' generation. so they're going to invest must differently. when you look at robo advisors, something that is very new, when it's time to get advice, they're probably not going to get advice from the traditional stockbroker type person, financial advisor that a baby boomer got advice from. they're probably going to get advise from a machine. and they're going to interact with their wealth much differently. they're probably going to track it way, way more frequently than baby boomers. lauren: they're also a generation that is saddled with more dent than your generation. >> 100%. lauren: mitch, thank you. cheryl: well, let's take a look at the money we have at least right now. forget the you future generation. we've got this right now, futures lower by 39 points for the dow, s&p, which hit a new record yesterday at the close is down one and-a-half points in the premarket. watch the tech heavy nasdaq today, considering alphabet and google's earnings after the close, 4 and-a-half to the upside right now on the nasdaq.

5:50 am
