join us, deirdre. deirdre: i'll see new a bit thank you.the latest nationwide polls show democratic candidate elizabeth warren closing in on joe biden's lead, a new economic low shows them virtually neck-and-neck, some say senator warren hard-line again big corporations is raising red flags, with me now christopher bedford from the daily caller. it does seem as if she is potentially alienating at least some who could be in the middle offed road, your take? >> they -- at least in corporate side, and wall street side and tech side, they will be stuck in a bind. these corporations, understand that democrat and republican chosen a side and come down to democratic side, and alienated christians and republicans and conservatives, that boycotts states, because of this, they don't have a lot of allies left in dc. people like elizabeth warren are more socialist side of democratic party they don't like big tech or big corporations, they are not will to play absolf republicans have done so as well. they have run out of friend, alienated almost all of

deirdre: all right.ump holds onto the presidency in 2020. >> i think while we're in the decision-making process, we're going to see the volatility continue. once we have the clarity of who will be in the oval office come 2021, that will play out at that point. we believe that obviously most market aplift analyst would agrt a democratic president would be a detriment to the market. deirdre: we heard some business leaders saying if elizabeth warren ends up being the candidate and she wins, the markets close. >> breaking up the banks and wealth taxes and stuff like that. yeah, right now, for the current quarter, we see that the trade war and news related to that is really what's going to be impactful on the markets. deirdre: good for your business, if the volatility helps, because you're doing well. dan, thanks so much. cheryl: volatile here or volatile there, another bump in the road as prime minister boris johnson struggles to take the country out of the eu. parliament may have a say in all this. let's br

melissa: deirdre, thank you.et back here, sales for the current quarter are big things to look for and software services are the two big ones. connell: susan in cupertino will give us numbers as they cross. stock up ahead of them as we wait for them to cross. jonathan, todd, lance with us. i will leave lance out of it for a moment. he has new airpods pro with announce cancellation ability. jonathan, we'll get figures within seconds. what do you think of apple. >>> we'll watch about non-i'm phone categories as deirdre alluded to. now it is about the watch. it is about the ear phone. connell: sorry. are we ready guys 20 go out west? thank you, jonathan. "fox business alert" with the numbers out. susan li spending the day in cupertino. i believe spoke to tim cook. give us the numbers, susan. reporter: a strong quarter for apple. the estimates are looking for 2.84 earnings per share. that is profit. apple cale out on top. they put in 3.03 earnings per share, stronger than expected. revenue beat as well. apple made $6

deirdre: it is. stuart: earnings wednesday? deirdre: earnings wednesday.e internal culture at boeing. the fact some engineers may have felt rushed to say certain products were okay. in fact there was a survey done again by boeing, three years ago, where one in three employees actually said that workload and schedule were affecting the way this they make decisions. one in three employees. this was not necessarily related to the 737. this was related how do you approach your job? however i want to highlight an individual gave this report to the house transportation and infrastructure committee. it didn't come through the general investigation. it came through an individual source who is saying listen, these engineers were more or lessed force to say things were okay when it came to getting faa approval of certain mechanisms in the planes. stuart: i wonder if the and when the max jet gets into mass service, will customers say wait a minute, do i want to fly on this jet? deirdre: i think you're right. if they manage all of this i think -- stuart: would you che

deirdre, one is at nike. deirdre: one is at nike.mer ceo, actually, at ebay, he's a current board member of nike, so this isn't a revolution. this is just kind of a shifting of positions, he was also working with a cloud computing firm so i think this just speaks to the tech focus of almost every single sector we talk about, but especially retail. so nike actually at the moment gets about a third of its business from online. so john donahoe is somebody who can support that, make that grow. nike's had a lot of success at online sales success, retail success in overseas markets as well as u.s., china included, and in fact, digital revenue for nike, up 35% last year. so this is clearly where the company is going. listen, it does have to fend off competition from adidas, it has to fend off competition even from sellers like amazon, who obviously aren't producing their own clothes, but it's a retail competitor for sure. then some of the smaller boutique names. so it seems like this is a play moving towards tech. charles: so the ceo, the s

deirdre: 200 of them.ted demand from the canadian cannabis market. even though they were trying to undercut the non-licensed growers and distributors, you know, there are still people growing it, whether they have a license or not, who are selling it globally for a lot cheaper. essentially they also have structural issues which when you were up north you saw for yourself. actually in these legal shops, it's for some reason very hard to get from the growers to the shops. ashley: it is. it's just a distribution problem. meanwhile, the black market is continuing to offer on the spot at a much cheaper price, same problem in california because pot in california is so expensive because of all the rules and regulations. deirdre: oddly enough, slower demand. ashley: which is interesting. canadian pot company struggling just a little bit. next case, president trump headed to benedict college in south carolina later this hour. he will be touting the success of the first step act as a justice reform forum there. let'

deirdre: amazing.nwide and amazon have teamed up to bring you the all-new echo auto? good answer. don't we make a great band? our fans are gonna love the lyrics-- what are those? i, uh, had 'em made. you like 'em? yeah, you like 'em. i knew you would. you love 'em, yes! join nationwide now and get a free amazon echo auto. stuart: i do want to tell you that the dow industrials have taken a turn south, and we're down 113 points. but i do want to tell you what happened during the commercial break that we have just gone through. oz pearlman was still with us. he had blown us away with his tricks and i'm going to call them tricks, then he did another one during the commercial. took a piece of paper, wrote a number on it and then he said to deirdre think of a number between 1 and 100. she thought of it. didn't say anything what it was, no hint of what it might be. then he says all right, stuart, turn over the piece of paper. what number do you see? no, he didn't. he said deirdre, what number did you look for

aside from the cloud stuff deirdre mentioned. google is clicking. there is times as we learned from amazon. these companies do have spend. they have to throw extra dollars out there to keep dominance. amazon is down 8% after hours, after earnings. on friday up all the way. we were picking it up that day. we'll buy google tomorrow if it is down. connell: fair points. deirdre, go back to you. what are you seeing? >> you guys wrote the number. no adjusted earnings i'm seeing. $10.12 a share. versus wall street estimate of 12.42. if google, alphabet google hit $12.42 a share, that would be a drop of 5%. i think we're seeing pressure on the stock. it hit a six-month high during the regular session. so this earnings figure of course disappointing. melissa: deirdre, we always talk about companies known for sandbagging, who beats. these guys, they beat earnings seven times. herevenue estimates six times te last eight quarters. if they miss one number, looks like they are, that is pretty unusual for them, might make it more significant. what do you think? >>

deirdre?to mars, because it doesn't just go in one direction, it has to come back and land as a spaceship, upright. this is the first time so our viewers are watching it now, that elon musk has released details of the interior. it can carry about 220,000 pounds of gear because as you know, to get to mars, it takes, you know, quite a long time. it's not just the moon in three days, not that that was easy. you need to have a lot of gear, you need to figure out how to recycle oxygen. to actually put people in mars orbit and come back is a really big undertaking. elon musk, ever the idealist, says it can be done within this decade. most scientists say with respect, i'm sure, that that is a complete fantasy. but elon musk, there he is, he's psyched about it. it's the first time he released the internal video. stuart: isn't that the rocket, the capsule that goes up? ashley: yes. stuart: does whatever it does and comes back again and you use it all over again? deirdre: yes. the whole key is to actual

deirdre, how much? deirdre: in california, the average is $4.07 per gallon.y at all to see these two numbers side by side. certainly painful. the auto club of southern california says there were unplanned maintenance issues at chevron and marathon that's really affecting l.a. county. actually, in l.a., the highest that we logged was $4.12 a gallon. stuart: the highest rate in america. california charges $4.07 for gasoline. tough on those people. >>> staying on oil. alaska has a ton of it, as we know. until 2017, an oil-rich wildlife refuge, the national wildlife, off-limits to frackers. there are ten billion barrels of untapped oil in it and thanks to president trump, it can now be fracked. you can get it. the governor of alaska joins us now. question one, have you started getting that oil yet and number two, how much of it are you going to get and will it make up for the shortfall in north slope oil? >> thanks, stuart. it could be a tremendous boost in the arm for alaska and the country. there's predictions that at maximum production, we could have an additi

to me, first glance, continue the conversation before deirdre. deirdre is ready now. the stock has turned around, often happens in these situations. number better on eps, huh, deirdre? >> number is better on third quarter eps, connell. third quarter looks great. which could be reassuring if we look at fourth quarter. third quarter we'll tackle that first. we have a beat for earnings. 1.47 per share. analysts were expecting earnings per share of 1.04 per share. that is better than 20% if you compare this quarter this year, this quarter last year. revenue in line for expectations fiscal third quarter. $5.52 billion. that represents 30%, little better than 30% versus this quarter last year. it is really, you're seeing volatility come into the stock. because the company is guiding lower for the fourth quarter. so if you look what wall street was expecting. 81 cents a share, what most analysts were hoping for the fourth quarter. netflix is posting 51 cents a share. so you hit that headline there, connell. quite rightly. sales also lighter. melissa: ned at decisions 6.77 mi

now, hold on, deirdre. this is the very very first step in the process. deirdre: exactly.s an impeachment vote from the house. this is essentially about transparency of proceedings. so as you just said, it is the first step in the process. so that's going to happen on thursday. the press secretary stephanie grisham accusing democrats of, i'm going to quote her here, conducting an unauthorized impeachment proceeding. so she declined to comment further than that, but just saying this should not even be at step one. but in any case, it will happen on thursday. stuart: okay. let's bring in -- let's talk about joe biden. he's not with us but we will talk about him. he released this statement on the killing of baghdadi. quote, i'm glad president trump ordered the mission but as more details of the raid emerge, it's clear that this victory was not due to donald trump's leadership. it happened despite his ineptitude as commander in chief. mercedes schlapp with us, trump 2020 senior adviser. mercedes, your response to the biden statement. >> good morning, stuart. well, you know, se

deirdre, am i right? deirdre: you are right. refinancing up 10% from the previous week. extent people want to refinance. also want to mention mortgage applications up more than 5% this past week. so a 30-year mortgage right now, last week, i should say, 3.99%. this week, 3.90. stuart: that's a plus. if you get the housing sector beginning to move again, that's a plus for the whole economy. the market's up nicely, too. >>> next one. we've got another vaping-related death. this time it's a 17-year-old. the youngest victim. that brings the total deaths from vaping related illnesses to 23. now, this afternoon, first lady melania trump will bring youngsters to the white house highlighting the dangers of vaping. joining us now, hhs secretary alex azar. mr. secretary, if i'm not mistaken, you are going right at these flavored vaping devices. that's the main thrust from your department, have i got that right? >> well, that's right. what we're trying to do is make sure that kids don't have access to products that are particularly attractive to them and that would include these fl

deirdre: yes.gs" has been so popular for netflix. in fact, the season three has an all-time record for netflix. to your point, we are coming into earnings season. netflix is the first of the fang stocks, they report on wednesday. we have to keep in mind larger context. disney plus goes online in november, apple tv plus goes online in november. so netflix so far has been the leader in this kind of streaming original programming and all these other competitors and i'm not even talking about warner and all the other products from the traditional carriers. so netflix probably hears the footfall of competition coming for them. charles: reed hastings has got a lot of work in front of him. 12 of the 2020 democrats will be onstage tomorrow night in ohio. bernie sanders, he's making his first campaign appearance since his heart attack. lawrence jones joins us now, fox news analyst and fox nation host. lawrence, i got to say, it looks for the most part it's shaping up to be a three-person race. you agree? >>

deirdre: not a bad one.guest is charles smith, one of the best-known wine makers, one of the best wine makers in america. of all things, he's jumping on this trend with his own sweet bubbly wine which has a top to it like a beer top. >> you know, everybody is comfortable and familiar and something they already use. the idea is always about communicating wine to everybody because i make my wines for everybody. stuart: called popup? >> doesn't that tell you there's going to be bubbles in it? also, it's a contemporary word that was part of our vocabulary the last ten years. the idea is about being, you know, contemporary and the idea here, where you maybe have delicious wines from italy or spain but no idea what's in them because of the different language. they can be very delicious. but the idea is this is my domestic answer to it. i made it for the 20th anniversary of my wine business. stuart: it's not sweet, is it? >> absolutely dry and delicious. of course it is. stuart: why, it's like a beer top to it? >>

deirdre, who put out the report and how far down? deirdre: it's from hammerston, a securities firm.e it's just difficult to distribute. ashley has been up in canada and saw this one company, canopy growth. constellation brands has a 35% stake in this company, had to cut its earnings this year by nine-fold so they can grow it, they are processing it properly, it's just hard to get it on time to the places where it needs to get. stuart: oh, so distribution, simple as that. deirdre: simple as that. and you know, still legal headwinds in the u.s. stuart: you can't get it to the marketplace, is that it? deirdre: it's clunky distribution for the moment. ashley: good work. stuart: the black market never seemed to have much trouble in distribution. ashley: no. stuart: okay. very good. very good. our next guest, big investor in a new platform, new marketplace, i'm going to call it, called carta, c-a-r-t-a. carta is working on a new kind of exchange that lets you invest your money into private companies before they go public. gregg smith is back, evolution vc partners. he's the early investor

deirdre bolton stick with us, stay along with us, scott? happy, as a netflix shareholder for ourselves and clients, as deirdre said this stock was up near 400 in june. it came off quite a bit in mid 2 hundreds, now bouncing because, i think wall street just got too negative on the name, that is what i think is a lesson in stock picking. as we go to earnings reports, when the boat gets loaded on one side whether shorts or people who sold the name, that is probably a time you get decent numbers. not great, the stock will rally, that is what it is doing after hours, it will be interesting to see how netflix ends in 24 hours, stock has done it before, rallied in after market sole off next day be careful. >> maria bartiromo sat down with barry diller in a fox business exclusive, and asked him about netflix dominance. >> is anyone catching up with threanetflix. >> nope. >> really. >> that does not mean that what disney is doing is not sound for disney. they are doing it, i have great admiration for bob iger, he made a determination he had to have

deirdre: amazing.art: so if you land flat and hard, you don't move -- deirdre: the watch senses it. stuart: the watch says come get me. deirdre: you would have to cancel. stuart: i better get one of those watches. look at the stock. apple, is that another new high? certainly very close. $244 on apple. >>> overall, this is thursday morning and this market's going up, especially technology stocks on the nasdaq which will have a very solid rally. >>> then we have netflix. question, can netflix brush off all the competition that's heading its way in the streaming universe? my next guest says not so sure about netflix. he will make his case after this. most people think of verizon as a reliable phone company. (woman) but to businesses, we're a reliable partner. we keep companies ready for what's next. (man) we weave security into their business. virtualize their operations. (woman) and build ai customer experiences. we also keep them ready for the next big opportunity. like 5g. almost all the fortune 500 pa

deirdre: that's exactly right.e as we know, there is absolutely no question of demand for these electric cars. people love them. people who have them, love them. really, the issue has been on elon musk and his team of engineers and just execution issues, of which there are many. so that's the number to watch for. stuart: i just question the whole idea of electric cars and how they are going to take over everything. i don't believe it. i don't get it. deirdre: when you see what's happening in california as well, with these rolling blackouts, that increases the pressure. stuart: california has $4 a gallon gasoline. so an electric car looks attractive. in new jersey i pay $2.50. i don't find electric cars very attractive. deirdre: but if you have no power to charge the battery in california, that's an issue. stuart: fair point. 15-love to you. i want to talk joe biden. hes still running for the presidency. yes, he is. his fundraising numbers, though, are kind of bleak. he hasn't made many headlines recently. and he's

deirdre, what are the highlights? deirdre: disney has a dedicated disney plus twitter feed. spoiler for how many products will be launched on november 12th, 629 tv shows or movies, that is still not all of disney's inventory. it's a really long list. that's why the so-called trailer was very very long. it goes back to like the 1930s, snow white and the seven dwarfs, all the way up almost through the modern era. some of the newest things, newest marvel studio movies not quite on there yet. this is to make everybody aware disney plus launching november 12th, sdi$6.99 a month, which m people have talked about. pricing very competitively for a reason. if you look at netflix's stock ahead of its earnings, tomorrow, that is down. it hears the competition coming. charles: i think we saw a young kurt russell, i think like 10 years old. we will check into that. we check everything for you, folks. >>> speaking of netflix, they are reporting earnings tomorrow after the bell. i want to bring in tech watcher tommy stadlin. co-founder of swing technologies. everybody says it's all about s

deirdre bolton with the numbers right now.. >> thank you, good morning. twitter is a disaappointment if you look at earnings and revenue, 14-cents a share, wall street looking for 20-cents a share, a miss on the earnings. revenue coming in light as well, $823.72 million, wall street looking for $874.13 million. we've been talking about and many companies have been talking about, the goal of twitter is to reduce the harmful activity. there are a lot of people who say i regret getting on this because it seems like it brings out the worst in anyone. the monthly active user growth, this will pressure the stock, essentially was lower as well. that's a big metric for a lot of people who follow the stock, a lot of analysts. some people have talked in the past about buying, mark bennyhoff is one, and he was advised to stay away. back to the headlines, a miss on the top and bottom line. maria: look at the stock right now, down 12 and-a-half percent on twitter shares. we've got a pretty significant move. dagen, what do you want to say?

deirdre bolton has the numbers. the stock is down 1% after the figures were released. >> that is surprising. we take you through microsoft's report. beat on earnings and revenues. 1.38 a share what microsoft posted. we're in the fiscal first quarter for microsoft for 2020. believe it or not they're ahead. 138 versus expectations for 125. if you look at revenue, wall street was expecting sales of 33.2 billion. microsoft posting 33.1 billion. that is better than 11% gain this quarter, this year, versus this quarter last year. i should mention as well the earnings growth is a bit better than 10%. what is standing out when you go through the business segments, intelligent cloud, as they sell it, up around 23%. if you look. they run in 10 point $85 billion. ahead of what wall street expected for that particular unit, at 10.94 billion. you have that really exceeding. that is about amazon versus microsoft. amazon still the leader in that space with aws. microsoft's azure is closing the gap. a little indication of gaining m

now, deirdre, let me see if i've got this right.ba in a government-run pension plan? deirdre: that is what is up for discussion. it has not yet been decided. but your point is well taken in that this is a huge chinese company so listen, all of these pension funds including, i want to underline the connection here, these are the pension funds that pay out our soldiers when they retire and our government employees, so that's the extra layer of politics involved in this. so for example, there's an msci all world index but that captures tons of countries around the world, specifically emerging markets, believe it or not, china is still considered one. so you would have some of these big chinese tech shares. more interestingly, you would have some of the chinese companies that we feel are stealing our i.p. so for example, artificial intelligence, companies that are producing those kind of products or services, so the u.s. government according to a few stories are considering limiting and there's one that's actually, the decision is going

deirdre, anything to add to this? something liz said about the next catalyst i see as a positive catalyst is this meeting between u.s. and china in d.c. at the end of next week. for the past 18 months, investors have really been on tinterhooks between these macro headlines, can the u.s. and china, the world's two largest economies, just figure out some kind of trading framework that doesn't punish in many cases american business owners who may not even be fortune 500 but who are trying to figure out what to do with their factories. this has been an overhang. i think we also got that weaker than expected manufacturing data yesterday, so there is just a little bit more anxiety being baked in and of course, the other big catalyst that could be positive or negative is this friday jobs report. ashley: federal reserve presidents like to talk almost every day. today we have headlines from john williams, new york fed lead. he says look, there's a lot of uncertainties and risks ahead to navigate, there are a number of cross-cu

deirdre bolton with us. deirdre: yep.d they say yes. i will mention one i spoke to, countries who have bowed down to surveillance and censorship make it easier for china to convince other foreign companies to do the same. he is saying that companies such as apple and microsoft, while they are not playing ball with china mainland, they are certainly playing a few innings and he said that is actually damaging to the global business community. another thing that he told me, a few human rights organizations i checked actually backed up the research, censorship is up in the past seven years under president xi jinping. you have stories of university students in vancouver posting something online, the police show up at their parents' house in china. stuart: okay. got that. so, got that. ashley, i want the story about apple pulling the app which helped protesters in hong kong locate the police. ashley: yes. hkmap.live basically helped people who contributed to see where authorities were, where police were, where the action was go

deirdre, you're where all the action is. reporter: exciting here. tons of correspondent running in and out as you can imagine. i want to highlight the question of vocabularily. we heard president trump talk about a substantial phase one deal. notice the world deal. a friend of mine who speaks mandarin, that the chinese press is transpiring what is transpiring here, as a pause, a pause in the trade war. not necessarily a deal. so just a difference perhaps of vocabularily. one worth pointing out all the same. from what we understand, from phase one, which will be written in the next three to five weeks. so this is not immediate by any stretch of the imagination. but the two sides, china and the u.s., reaching some sort of understanding on ip, on financial services and on the purchase of between 40 and $50 billion from china of u.s. agricultural products. we also heard from the treasury secretary steve mnuchin who was also in the oval office at this debriefing. saying that he has reached between the u.s. and china an agreement on foreign exchange and o

deirdre time was only 29 minutes. not seen any lays right now. one-on-one on the south been looking pretty good as well. it is really not causing a ton of delays. just be advised it is out there. a nice ride. dolly parton pulle hot strings and stephen colbert will keep us up late. eye on you alize you want to spend r wh the rest of your life with someone, and wanted to start tonight at 11:35 pm. >>> get ready for more stephen they made their debut in 2015 taking over for david letterman.>> my favorite last words ever. ago to seek the great crap. >> looking for alaska our limited series on healing. getting the deeper meaning in life. defined the group of loyal friends. it is also a look at grief and trauma. looking for alaska is now streaming on healing. dolly parton pulled on the heartstrings in her new netflix so. it is a anthology series based on the song but which feature stories about her life. each episode will tell a story centering on one of her songs. she will also appear on camera in each of the eight installments. they are premieres on

deirdre cooper, global environment fund manager at investec asset management, joins me now.me to the programme. first of all, what do you make of the european investment bank's decision? look, i think it's a really interesting decision, notjust because the european investment bank sees the people on the streets of london and other cities around europe, but because ultimately the people who manage the eib are risk managers, and they are thinking about investing not just managers, and they are thinking about investing notjust for two yea rs about investing notjust for two years in these types of projects, but for 20 or 30 years. and clearly as we transition to a low carbon economy, these projects have the risk of becoming stranded assets. so if you were a risk manager at the world's largest bank, that's potentially not an investment you would like to make. but how do they see a real change? the eib is making it stand, but if you have governments in europe and also the european commission that is not with you, to what extent are you going to have a real impact? look, i think th

deirdre? >> watching earnings and this week, netflix has my attention, on wednesday. maria: thanks very much for joining us. "varney & company" begins now. charles, take it away. charles: i'm charles payne in for stuart varney. boy, do we have a show for you. yes, it is all about your money. let's get started right there. futures rebound slightly, the market still trying to digest this partial trade deal. will prevent the next round of tariffs from going into effect but after that, there are reports that china says it wants another round of talks before signing phase one. optimism is fading a little bit there. >>> the other big story affecting your money will certainly be earnings. we have a lot of them from financials to netflix. the big political story, the democrat debate tomorrow. bernie sanders will be returning to the stage and is even going after elizabeth warren, claiming she

deirdre bolton with some of the details.google trade higher and sources are saying that it is looking at fitbit and if you look at fitbit's stock, it was paused, it was halted. it is now up something like, as you can see on your screens, 29%. the bigger picture here, of course, is google versus apple. we know that apple has the smartwatch and it's kind of what they call ambient computing and linked to health care, so it seems as if google may indeed be interested in this fitbit product. i would be remiss if i didn't say we are waiting for google's numbers, after the close of trade. one of the bigger focal points of traffic, acquisition costs, essentially how much google is paying out to its partners to essentially get us all redirected to one of the ads that it's running or one of its other services, so the good news for the company at least what analysts think is that those costs are lower than the overall revenue costs. in other words, it's paying less for these partnerships so that's good news. that's going to be of cours

in tweets, conferences and op-eds now he's taking his support a step forward cook, apple hr chief deirdre ow bry o'brien filing a brief, the first time they're lending their own names as well, the brief stating we are distressed at the process of ripping our daca colleagues from the fabric of our company. our country made a deal with a highly vulnerable population interested in a bright future and we should keep that deal a currently employs 443 dreamers across 36 states, working in a variety of roles, hardware and software engineers, retail store geniuses, operation specialists. in total, remember, they employ 90,000 people here in the u.s. it's not just important to cook. it really does reverberate across the tech industry microsouth of the's brad smith has called protection of dreamers a humanitarian obligation and economic imperative guys, back to you. >> certainly another very big factor for quite a number of companies. josh lipton, thank you for bringing us that news. >> bed bath and beyond results are out. courtney regularn has been digging through those numbers. >> morgan, for the

deirdre bosa joins us with more. big story. >> absolutely.shift away from the traditional listings comes as startups stay private for longer look at some of the recent public names some of the ones that have been hit hardest, uber, lyft, pelo n peloton. the better performing names since ipo are zoom, pinterest and cloudfare, they're falling further from their peaks startups yesterday heard about the benefits of direct listings over a day of sessions including ones called four decades of underpricing spotify and slack, the who companies who were through the process were examples of successful smooth direct listings airbnb was talked about as the next startup to go the alternate direct route which would enkourenkour encourage others nicole quan said squinn said she walked in with a candidate and they walked away excited about a direct listing being an option for them bill gurley was an organizer behind yesterday's event and critical of the traditional ipo. a source familiar with slack's listing said he personally encouraged the company's founde

. >> dana: deirdre bolton has more. this continues. >> it does. shaq is a lovely person.sited us in our studios. he's very friendly. he's retired. 2011. as a commentator, he has a little bit more freedom, love or hate what he's saying. most americans are like "right on." it's trickier for the players, lebron james is the most recent active player who was caught up in the controversy. last night had the nba season opener and fans outside the staples center in california, they had signs that said "king of chinese money." "king james." really obnoxious. he's taking it from both sides because he said that morey, the houston rockets gm, was either misinformed or not really educated on the situation in china and he said he didn't really -- he thought that morey didn't really understand the repercussions of his words. people have been calling out lebron james saying you're a hypocrite. you're only in it for the money. it's a lot of money. i'm not saying it's right or wrong that i'm saying the nba has partnered with china's, it's $1.5 billion streaming deal in the nba sold to goo

year-to-date we're at 6 billion in under pricing deirdre bosa jones us now.u think this will have lasting staying power? seems to be a groundswell developing now >> we've been talking about it for a long time about how this ipo model is broken. you pay between 3.5% to 7% in fees to the investment bank, then you see this first day pop which could have gone to the company. so it's interesting. when you look at a recent ipo deemed a disaster, smile direct club, you saw that share price come down the first day, some vcs done think that was not a disaster, because some of the money on the first day went to the company's pocket what they'll talk about today at the palace hotel is how direct listings give these startups more flexibility and more leverage when it comes to the investment banks >> i mentioned you'll have about 100 privates in attendance at that conference. i'm wondering how you think some of these late-stage private companies are going to be thinking about all of this going public in the future and whether they will be swayed by the argument that some

growth rate is slowing by the time they come to markets. >> deirdre, thank you. >>> as we head to breakecking where the major averages stand now the dow is largely hugging the flat line, down 29 points after being down triple digits similar for the s&p. the nasdaq is up fractionally. >>> don't miss an exclusive with charles schwab on halftime report on getting zero commissions, changing investing landscape and more "squawk alley" back after this eak. servicenow put our workflows in the cloud. this changes everything. you're right sir... everything. no not everything, i mean you're still blatantly sucking up to me gary. brilliantly observed, sir. always three steps ahead. six steps ahead. sixteen. so many steps. you done? a million steps ahead. servicenow. works for you. - when i see obstacles, i create opportunities.

let's ask deirdre bolton.ws silicon valley as well as anybody that i know. >> we need a road trip out there. get in the car and go, take a while. listen there, is only a few american companies that can really pull this off, right? facebook i do think is one of them. they're obviously facing a lot of headwinds and pushback. if you think of others that could offer call it a stable coin or different kind of currency, apple, amazon, and maybe walmart. just as far as reach and kind of the infrastructure already being there. and that is for u.s. only although apple and amazon quite capable of doing the same thing overseas. i like what hillary said about the unbanked. there are 1.7 billion people in the world who are unbanked but of those people, 2/3 of them, while they don't have bank accounts, they do have mobile phones. so at some point this is a logical evolution. that we heard from mark zuckerberg himself saying you guys hate me, will never happen at facebook because you think i have made tons of mistakes which

charles: deirdre, thank you very.hat does the high-profile meeting between president trump and vice premier of china about prospects of agreement ultimately take us to the big, big deal? could it happen sooner rather than late? we have liz peek, brian wesbury and heather zumarriaga. let me start with you, liz peek. soybeans, probably also would be added in there. they have already been buying them. the financial nojv, currency, suspending tariffs. how do you feel this is big sea shift that moves toward a bigger deal when ultimately that happens. >> i agree. pushback from the people, he didn't get the chinese to change their way of life or chinese move away from all intellectual property theft, all joint ventures, et cetera. there is going to say that this can't be a staged deal. we don't start with backing off from increasing tariffs, which is a big deal, for businesses in the country, the night, they want to see certainty. i think if we just say no more tar riff increases. also the chinese aren't going to do this. th

deirdre bolton has a report. >> another beat, a beat on top and bottom line. more important as you go through some of these figures, you know, in mobile ad revenue is soaring. in fact, it even beat facebook's own internal digits, own internal expectations, so very strong there. basically all the metrics, david, look very strong for this company. 17.62 billion daily -- 1.62 billion active daily users. that's stronger. monthly active users exactly in line 2.45 billion. if you add everything together, facebook, instagram, what's app, messenger, more than 2 1/2 billion people are using these products worldwide. some of the details show not going to call it saturated in the developed world but that's slowing where facebook is really growing is overseas. also find their stock performance pretty impressive. i mean it is up 43%, if you look at the s&p 500, 21 1/2% roughly year to date, that's a pretty impressive performance no matter what other kinds of head winds facebook has had to deal with, including, i'm going to go down this list, david, doj antitrust probe, ftc

deirdre: you have the career that you have. be so good you can't be ignored.et, of course. then being in media, yes. so two times, yes. a question for your research, i'm just curious, what kind of cultural reception are you getting from institutions? you have the data, to jack's point i know even during the credit crisis, female hedge fund managers, of which there are too few, managed actually pretty well through that crisis, because their risk elements were a little bit more in place, let's say, than average, but what kind of cultural reception are you getting from fortune 500 companies? >> when we spend time with fortune 500 companies and ceos, we know that they want to improve, they want to do better. this is not something that they are thinking is not a top business priority. the data shows over the last five years, company commitment has completely risen. more employees believe that's authentic. so that's the good news. but related to that, it's pretty hard working your way up. one of the things that we know that companies need to do more of is provide op

deirdre has the details on that. what's going on there? deirdre: hey, neil.ecause that's where it's staying. senator warren thinks the company is a monopoly, should be broken up but u.s. attorney general bill barr targeting facebook for a different reason. so he says facebook should halt its plans to put end-to-end encryption on its messaging services, citing public safety. our sources say the u.s. ag will be presenting an open letter to facebook and mark zuckerberg co-signed by british and australian officials. facebook did respond with a statement. i will pick out one key phrase. we are consulting closely with child safety experts, government and tech companies devoting new teams and sophisticated tech so we can use all the information available to us to help keep people safe. privacy proponents say there's no fool-proof way to implement encryption back doors, in other words, there's no half doing this. so any vulnerability, no matter how hidden or no matter how secret, can be discovered and potentially abused by hackers and criminals. if you ask anyone in

deirdre bolton has the very latest. deirdre: well, viacom owned comedy central not backing down.ery trace of that show from the internet, from chat rooms, it's gone as if it never existed. last week's episode, you may remember this one, mocked hollywood for trying to avoid offended chinese censors so media has its challenges, big tech as well, apple included, along with microsoft. these are the two biggest u.s. tech companies that have a large presence mainland china. now, apple just removed the hkmap.live app from its app store. the app was designed to avoid the locations of police and protesters in hong kong, but chinese state media wrote that the developers basically had malicious motive so apple responded. here's apple's comment to us. we have learned that an app, hkmap.live has been used in ways that endanger law enforcement and residents in hong kong. this violates our guidelines and local laws so we have removed it. apple took all kinds of heat for that decision. and it came out with another statement saying this is because of safety concerns, not political pressures. but

deirdre bosa has a look at the payment exodus from libra. and ylan mui has more on the fight over fake ads. >> wilf. visa, mastercard, all out. having some of the world's largest payments processors was always the major muscle behind libra. we're also seeing non-payments companies drop out too ebay, booking holdings this morning this could have represented use cases for the digital currency these are the remaining members of the association, but this is a quickly changing list, as you know, guys and we've reached out to many of them just check if they're still participating. we'll hopefully know more soon as a meeting of the libre association concludes today. guys >> i get this is somewhat embarrassing and awkward for facebook, all of these companies are pulling out. but on the flip side, how have these companies allowed themselves to be official ll lle to facebook if they weren't committed. the heads of communications for all of these companies must have approved facebook's origin release, if not higher than the heads of kpuncommunications
