think there is a lot of negative synergy, that would unlock a lot of value, but i fear that larry ellisonoesn't want to do that, isn't convinced that's necessary yet. i think if you look at the earnings growth, it is all driven by massive share buy backs. they spent something like $58 billion in the last five years buying back shares that's no way to -- i don't think that's a good bet. now that they've got negative net debt on the balance sheet of $26 billion, there's a limit to how much you can do that going forward. >> yeah. all right. some new year's eve shade thrown towards oracle gene, john, thanks to you both happy new year >> happy new year. >>> still to come on "squawk alley," how uber and post mates are gearing up to fight in california and why netflix's bet on content is paying off. don't go anywhere. back in two minutes. tom: my mom always told me actions speak louder than words. she was a school teacher. my dad joined the navy and helped prosecute the nazis in nuremberg. their values are why i walked away from my business, took the giving pledge to give my money to good causes

for some time i've become a fan of lowe's too thanks to the report of former hd executive marvin ellisonthe ceo of lowe's. it comes down to attractive levels stick with this trade. i expect home depot to match and address the costs of the tariffs in depth they'll quantify the impact down to pennies per share if the tariffs don't do much damage, that changes say the stock gets slammed on monday, trade talks potentially fall apart, you'll be getting a terrific chance to buy the stock. you'll be armed and ready. stop trying to bet on the trade wars start betting on stocks that are unfairly punished whenever there's bad news about the tariffs. a good story about tariff mitigation tomorrow. that's one example stop betting on the outcome of the talks, look for opportunities created by the ridiculous swings in the market every time there's news about the trade war, whether or not the news is accurate you'll be in much better shape everything else is rank speculation. useless for investing. for trading. think about it how the heck are any of us supposed to bet on the trade talks when the preside

lot of the session also in the red by the close >> joining us to talk about the market day, david ellisonrtfolio manager at hennessey funds. and still with us, josh brown. he's ceo at ritholtz wealth management mike, i'll give you the first comment here you know, it seems like when we saw the sell-off in the beginning, i was thinking, what are we going to have another december sell like last year but that's not like that >> it's not like what we had last year. the market for a while now has been slow. just to put it in perspective, i think you certainly in the new year have to contend with the fact that we have relatively full valuations. you know, bond yields are lower than you would otherwise think they should be and obviously, sentiment and technicals seem like they're getting a little stretched but it's nothing that really changes the story from what we've had that's supported this rally for a while. great credit conditions not least. >> it's been a particularly strong quarter does that make the set-up for january harder than normal >> i think it does i think the question now is what

keith ellison is sending a symbol.d webb, there are a lot of people apolitical, they have strong feelings one way or the other. they don't consider themselves antifa or anything but they hate the other side so much that they allow it to disintegrate the family unit or friendships. i don't know, rick, rick you were so upset you canceled yourself from this show. that is amazing. >> i never canceled myself from this show. >> you are not going to like what i had to say. >> it is not about liking what you have to say, rick. >> you don't know what that was about. no, sometimes you need to keep it to yourself. you know the college situation, this is going to be awful. i agree. i don't like the way it is happening now but i got to tell you something, way back in the day when i was in school the same thing was happening but it was reversed. it was republicans, it was conservatives who were barring liberals from coming on campus. i didn't like it then. i don't like it now. >> i don't like it anyway. we have to deal in today. his

that stay forever, that's the only thing they're ever going to do whether it is zuckerberg or larry ellison gates, jeff bezos, very few of them, if they stay that long, become the most successful you've ever seen guy like travis is like a serial entrepreneur founded a company before this, he founded uber, founded another one which may be worth more than uber in a short period of time i think travis left mentally years ago, fought the battle, lost the battle, moved on. i think uber has been running itself the way it wants to. >> doesn't mean you can't have a symbolic stake why do you have to sell every single share >> why do you have to keep it when they fired you? if you're travis, he has bigger things to do he built uber, everybody knows it and he is building another company that may be worth more why would he stay? >> it is interesting i know you have been in silicon valley awhile, seems like we've seen record ceo departures this year, particularly in silicon valley with wework, adam neumann pushed out, seems to be a long list of ceo transitions. reed hoffman talked about startups having

corresponded ellison barber reports tonight from new hampshire where biden is once a again where he wouldedact to a congressional subpoena. >> would be fine. >> today, former vice president joe biden inc. got with the editorial the report and for the fourth time in as many days he tried to clarify what he meant n he toyed "the des moines register" he would not comply with a subpoena to testify the impeachment trial. >> we would do it again. there is no rational basis. for me being called into the impeachment. >> with the seven weeks to go, recent polls showing that hampshire is still up for grabs. of mayor pete buttigieg, biden, senator bernie sanders are all within three points of each other. sanders who suffered a heart attack earlier this year got a bill of good health. according to the sanders campaign, the senator's cardiologist at this point he's confident that sanders has the mental and physical stamina to fully undertake the rigors of the presidency. pete buttigieg is one of the two remaining 2020 candidates who served in the military. right now, the mayor who is deployed to afgha

i was elected dnc chair, literally a minute into the my tenure when i asked my good friend keith ellisono join us so that we could complete this journey of bringing a party together, that we could complete it together all the way through the work we did to reform super delegates and return power to the people, to the work we did in creating the democratic primary process that was more inclusive than ever before with a grass roots fund-raising threshold to the debate stage, giving people with the hem of folks like you allowing for town hall meetings people have gotten unprecedented opportunities to make their views heard and their case to the american people. now we're 45 days away from the first voting and i feel proud of the work we're doing. and we're going to continue our journey to make sure we're conspicuously neutral and we treat everybody fairly. >> and you're not done yet. thank you so much for making some time tonight. >> chris, always a pleasure. >>> still to come, what was the president doing at the very moment he was being impeached? we will show you ahead. plus tonight's thi

we have some spectacular successful founder ceos, steve jobs of the world, bill gates, larry ellison,uld be wrong for us to be dismissive of that option but as you point out there have been spectacular failures with founders being at the helm that shouldn't be or were there too long. >> right you know, just coming in on that, scott, you know, our largest public investment earlier this year was tablo. a few years handed the baton from the founder to adam who built aws who shepherded that company from a few billion to over $10 billion sales to sales force, so it's not just whether it's founder or not founder. we have a founder coming on later in this show, freddie from okta, who has done an amazing job at scaling, you know, helping to scale okta. i agree with frank, that it is a very different task to found a company versus scaling a company or running a public company. very few can do those equally well but we shouldn't dismiss it out of hand. >> we'll take another quick break and more coming up with brad gerstner and frank slootman, next the "halftime report" from san francisco is bac

we had oracle and larry ellison unhappy with the doling out of this jedi contract process as well.y contend it shouldn't just be one company, it should be shared amongst companies and so amazon isn't alone in this. i guess when you have $10 billion, that's a lot of money for a lot of companies to bid for. liz? liz: amazon is down fractionally but oracle is up 1%. interesting to see that. susan, thank you very much. susan li. >>> netflix strikes gold. did you hear about this? the closing bell ringing in 40 minutes. the streaming giant dominating the golden globe nominations, nabbing 16 and far outpacing all other entrants. netflix's divorce drama grabbed six of the nods and the irishman got five including best director, but investors not really nominating netflix for best stock of the day. it's down about 1%. >>> up next, could a bumper crop of unicorns make 2020 the year of the ipo? a backlog of big names from airbnb to casper mattresses to made well waiting in the wings. will they fly? up next, take it from someone who knows. you are about to meet tim campos. he spent years as chi

you can see ronald reagan shaking tim ellison's hands and reading prepared remarks from a little indexcard and he takes his turn at an easel and tries to draw a caricature. he does poorly but he wrote in his diary about it. the laughter was continuous and i think maybe a few were soft and softened up a bit. maybe, maybe not. in any case, i think this is a fitting closing to our panel of final cartoons and it raises the question again about whether reagan was the acting president. to what extent hollywood influenced him and to what extent he was good at the symbolic theatrical parts of the presidency. he was good at that. the other thing we found out over time is that reagan wrote large parts of his speeches. sometimes the whole thing. he put the words in forms that could connect with the audience. sometimes he intervened >> in real debates about policy and made hard choices. so in some ways, there is a movie quality to the reagan presidency in which he plays the lead role but it came from more than following a script. he did a lot to write the script. >> when he first ran for governor

ellison barber joins us live from washington to explain.is going to be a very big week. >> yes, it is. the house judiciary committee plurentd that full impeachment report. 658 pages by the way around midnight. the report is broken down into four key parts explaining the committee's process for recommending two articles of impeachment against president trump, discussing the standard for impeachment and the justification for charging the president with abuse of power and obstruction of congress. it also included a dissent. committee republicans call democrats' actions unjustifiable in their dissent adding this: quote the facts residence coasted it. some of these arguments are holdovers from an earlier disingenuous attempt by the majority to weaponize the russia collusion for investigation for political gain. likely impeach president trump for christmas. in the senate all eyes would turn to the trial. democrats will have one less member in the house. jeff van drew. multiple senior democratic sources expect van drew to switch parties. fox is to
