they do it on a first class ticket would cost and above that they want emerson to change the metricsve compensation, focused on eps and free cash flow growth and include indicators such as return on investment capital and total shareholder return these are met ricks that are widely used by emerson's peers they're asking the company to unstagger the board of directors so all come up for a vote every year and they note the board aport from mr. farr owns only .04% of the company's stock. and there have been three open market purchases by board members over the last ten years. the window for filing a proxy closes november 6th. none of this in terms of argument means shaw will get what it wants. it is a relative new comer to activism, it remains unclear whether it will do so, the track record for creating value from company splits, well, that remains far from clear consider dupont, we talked about it a lot here. years of activism from third point succeeded in getting a split. that has yet to create real value. on october 1st, after reports of the interests were reported, emerson said it b

they tend to be fabulous for shareholders but does that mean you can buy the stock of emerson huh-uh, not so fast. farr has been a visionary. how do you tell that he built a gigantic presence in china before everybody else, because the chinese market was the huge source of growth in the world. unfortunately, he didn't predict, as did no ones else, the full extent of president trump's trade war. so now emerson has a about pro there is not much they can do other than hope it will blow over or the chinese economy won't appropriate rate the factories. who wants that kind of risk? not me sadly, this great american company's stock has become too binary it's a deal or no deal situation. and that makes the stock too difficult to own, even though as i'd love to tell you 3% yield, good balance sheet then there is cisco, the scso kind in august they reported a short fault. even though china is only about 3% of their business, a little less, it played a very negative role in shortfall. cisco got hammered again today goldman sachs bought it at a down even though it's incredibly cheap, how do we kn

that's the emerson poll. what do you make of that?> the thing that's most surprising to me is actually trump's numbers right up there near 50%. that's higher than we've seen him in other polls. we usually see him around 43%. it basically shows it's a close call election. all of these candidates have much to prove. tough is going to be a tough foe come november. >> some were describing ambassador taylor's testimony on chill as somewhat of a ga game-chang game-changer, david. how do you feel that's going to change going forward? and will we see them clear up some stuff that bill taylor testified yesterday? >> this certainly gives momentum to house democrats moore pushing this impeachment inquiry. bill taylor is an unimpeachable witness, no pun intended there. he's got a history going back to his days at west point, a vet in vietnam, a distinguished career. he has no reason to be untrue. and yes, ambassador sondland, you u.s. ambassador to the european union, you bet he'll get called back and it may very well be an open session. and that

i know emerson is under attack but he's a dividend aristocrat and to me that means you have a companyink individual investors have been driven off because they don't understand the point of the mark. they thought it was dividend you can say they're unsophisticated. if elizabeth warren comes in, i hope she keeps a dividend tax low so you feel it is worth taking a dividend check. >> you can't both be true so she hates amazon because they're getting into these industries and outinvested everyone else. okay, so you don't like that amazon does no buybacks. that's one model of what to do with excess capital. if you don't like that, what do you like better? do you like dividends? okay let's not have a tax rate that confiscates money that has been taxed at the corporate level your example, emerson earns money, they get taxed, they pass it on to steve y shareholder and he gets taxed. do you want more would-be amazons who monopolize and get into industries they were never even in and don't do dividends, don't do buybacks that you think were artificial or do you want people to get to a point whe

joining us on cyber hall is one of the groundbreaking doctors that brought indian emerson into the world much for joining us. one of only a few surgeons doing this, take us but that goes through the layman's version of how this works? >> basically a uterus transplant is when you have a funeral that is born without a uterus or have lost their uterus and still wants to go through pregnancy and childbirth. then we can through surgery take a uterus from a living or a deceased owner entranced by the it into this female. after the transplant to go through the ivf and to become pregnant and then you can deliver a child and that's what we did. >> tamron: you had seven more pregnancies in the trial so there could be more new moms. one of the things i've learned in reading about what you've done here is that the uterus only remains in the body for five years. is that accurate? >> it is. the baylor trial allows for a one or two pregnancies. we want those pregnancies to be a fairly, close together, the reason for that is that we want to remove the uterus and take away the medicine the mother needs t

it is national news, but when a poll shows us winning in an early state or like yesterday's emerson pollo nationally to biden and leading more and buy for coke, there is never a peep. it is the bernie blackout." except for the last line, president trump could have sent that. >> marie: a lot of left media really likes him, but he cannot deal with the fact that he is being challenged by a younger female version of himself and elizabeth warren, and that her campaign is taking off in his is flatlining. this is the way that they are trying to raise money off of it. >> tyrus: i am stuck on that. it's kind of the problem, because most of the people that know the word mary look like bernie sanders. white hair and there is nary a child playing. that is the issue with bernie. you just come in the old guy starts talking, people change the channel. right now elizabeth warren is firing a bottle. every time she is out there, people are like, what is she going to say? even with the aoc basically coming out and speaking for them, because i think that you need some electricity, some youth, nary because t

some of the moves stephanie link has been making in her portfolio and you have another and that is emersoni have owned it before. i like david carr very much, the ceo. i think there's a chance they will split up this company i always thought that. now there's speculation there's an activist in the name than might put pressure on them to do something soon in the meantime they're lagged by tay group of 1,000 basis points and gives you a great yield. i'm back in. >> you dropped football analysis on you. >> i did. >> did you catch that? >> i did step was on top of that, no doubt. >> david -- i know you're a football fan joe, you bought apple. >> we talked about it yesterday on the show and i gave it as a final take it's just a replacement. i told iwmi -- i know, you weren't here iwm, mcdonald's, sold out of those. apple is the place to be i think it takes out the all-time high. >> final trades, pete? >> wells fargo, i love the new ceo. i think he will make new changes. i know you bought it and joe bought it. but we've seen stock option activity in there as well. i think this will be a long-ter

on foreign policy, i remember what emerson wrote, to have a friend you need to be one. does anyone in the world now think that we're a trusted ally. >> the white house just released the text of the less letter that the president said -- that the president sent to erdogan of turkey among other things saying in the aftermath of the earlier decision by the u.s. to pull out troops, saying don't be a tough guy, don't be a fool. what is your reaction to that? >> you know, i'll be honest, i saw this online first. i got a copy of the letter. i actually thought it was a prank, a joke. it couldn't possibly come from the oval office. it sounded all of the world like the president of the united states in some sort of momentary lapse just dictated angrily whatever was on the top of his head. these are extraordinarily serious issues. and an extraordinarily dangerous part of the world. and for him to write this and to also say that it didn't effect us is ignorance at the highest level. the fact is everything is connected. and places across the world can impact us here. they affect our

however faith are you putting in emerson this morning?e in these poll numbers, and it is within the margin of error. but it is good news for presidenpresident trump there i. it's also a little bit disappointing for him to be winning by a couple digit margin in a state that he won by about 9 points in 2016 and so in that sense it could be worrisome for him but we have to remember that this isn't necessarily predictive and president trump has not gotten his campaign into full swing yet. cheryl: i found it interesting that 33% say their number one issue, the economy, after that 19% say healthcare. which seems to jive with what you hear people talking about on the streets. let's move on to the issue of medicare for all. looks like in another type of survey that it's losing support and this could be bad news for elizabeth warren and bad news for bernie sanders. in fact, medicare for all, we talked about this, the cost is the big question. warren keeps getting hit because she doesn't want to say that taxes are going to go up on the middle class

you look at emerson poll, arizonans are not big on impeachment, they're not big on entirely government-runealth care. so if the democratic strategy to pick up states that, that may have gone another way in the last round, if the message from the person at the top of the ticket, if it's a sanders or warren, they have that more extreme message, i think that task becomes very hard. connell: that is argument for joe biden. >> yeah it is. connell: interesting. the presidential polling do you think it matters yet or do we have to wait for a true head-to-head matchup, not a hypothetical scene as pollsters do if trump versus biden or trump versus warren? does it have to be true head-to-head before they matter? >> trump breaks the rules in terms of polling. when he won in 2016 he was not particularly popular with people. he was deemed better than the alternative. i think that is the situation we're coming into again where his polls, for normal politician are not that good. he had worse during his presidency. they're a little worse now than a few months ago, but it really comes down to the opponent

joining me now, peter emerson.ree democratic administrations, republican strategist rina shah, and conservative commentator ashley pratt, an nbc think contributor. let's start with congressman rooney, who is not saying he is for impeachment or for an impeachment inquiry, but he is saying he's thinking about impeachment. and now we have this retirement news. what do you make of all that? >> well, yesterday i heard congressman rooney's interview with npr, and it was also very much the same. like you said, he did not come out saying i want impeachment, i want it now. he expressed great concern for acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney's comments and also gave cover there, saying that i like mick as a person, i've worked with him in the past, he's done great things. i think what we need to really look at, though, here, is that how very convenient for this republican who criticized the administration yesterday to today announce that he's no longer seeking re-election. we knew this. we knew his district went fo

and in the latest emerson poll, elizabeth warren follows closely in third place with 21%.oday, 53 to 52% of ohio voters say they would vote for biden, sanders or warren while only 47 to 48% would vote for vice president. and against vice president mike pence, joe biden comes out ahead by eight points and sanders and warren statistically tie with pence in a 2020 matchup. and former vice president joe biden's campaign reached a number of fundraising hauls, short of the previous quarters. senator bernie sanders has raised in the third quarter, he is in the lead, at $25.3 million. he is followed by mayor pete buttigieg who raised $19.1 million. and then biden rounds out the top three with $15.2 million. senator kamala harris has reported raising $11.6 million over the last quarter. and andrew yang, $10 million. and senator cory booker, $6 million. still ahead, america's former special envoy for ukraine was on capitol hill yesterday. we are going over what was learned from the closed door testimony. >> and a top republican breaks with the president and says the ukraine whistle-

the emerson poll in iowa yesterday showed a head-to-head with bernie, biden and elizabeth.nly one of them came out ahead of trump and that was bernie sanders. >> got it. >> so he's absolutely, absolutely can win this. >> i appreciate you breaking this news on "the beat." i'm only retaking the mic to get to the other thing that is so important. let me tell folks about where we're at. murder and suicide by gunfire are just a part of our daily life in america. we tend to remember and sometimes cover the most horrific mass shootings. nine in ohio, 22 in el paso. take a look in what's happened in the 75 days since those attacks. 112 more mass shootings. that's when four or more people are killed. this year, over 400 mass shootings. that's more than one a day. it's part of why as i mentioned michael moore is on "the beat." and that's because msnbc has partnered with you to air your documentary on this, "bowling for columbine." let's take a short look at that right now. >> this is an american tradition. it's an american responsibility to be armed. if you're not armed, you're not r

today you're seeing the nikes, the emersons, the companies that have the majority of their earnings comingarticular china, rallying. prior to that the companies like the costcos that reported great earnings with over 75% of their earnings domestically doing well. it's just this back and forth seesaw battle. but if you're a long-term investor, you've got to be counterintuitive and look to buy those means that have strong long-term fundamentals. charles: i'm glad you said that, long-term investor. keith, one thing that breaks my heart is when individual investors are spooked out of the market, particularly those who want to be long-term investors. we just saw a report with one of the s&p indexes etfs saw the second largest withdrawal since its inception. for five weeks in a row, we've seen billions of dollars pulled out of domestic mutual funds, the most recent number over $11 billion. i mean, individuals are watching these headlines and watching this volatility, and they're selling often at a loss. i mean, what do you say to someone who just doesn't want to ride this out but still wants to

i actually think that emerson has more upside and that is a much bigger position for me. much bigger position for me. l3 harris is a much bigger position for me. i have balanced it with other names that i think the fundamentals are better, but i do like a turn around story. i think there is an opportunity here and it's very well hated at this point i don't think it will take much. >> all right >>> okay, coming up, we're answering your questions to reach us, you still have to time cnbc.com/halftime. >>> first kelly evans will tell us what is coming up on "the exchange" in less than 15 minutes. >> more on today's job report and what it means for the fed's next move. >>> plus microsoft, e and air bnb have several things in common but one in common they all use freelancers. the ceo will join us with the trends he's seeing and what that is telling us about what is happening with the jobs market today. >>> and disney making a bold move in the streaming wars that's ahead in "rapidir fe. i will see you then.

in emerson valley, the police presence will remain for several days as they try to reassure a communityirport following what appeared to be two separate incidents. a london flight be two separate incidents. a london flight to philadelphia was diverted earlier this afternoon after two cabin crew were briefly rendered unconscious by a spillage of a cleaning fluid left on board the plane at heathrow. a second aircraft diverted to dublin almost two hours later after a passenger fell ill. diverted to dublin almost two hours later after a passengerfell ill. it was originally heading from paris to charlotte, north carolina. both aircraft were met by emergency services on landing. researchers say ex—professional footballers are three and a half times more likely to die from dementia, than the general population. experts at glasgow university have been investigating the potential links between heading footballs and brain injuries. the study began after claims that the former west brom strikerjeff astle died because of repeated head trauma. here's our health editor, hugh pym. all the trophies in t

another teenager and a 23—year—old man were seriously injured during the incident in the emerson valleyey police say they believe all those involved knew one another. comedian katherine ryan has described how her boyfriend fought off a burglar at her london home to save a laptop containing the scripts to her new show. the canadian is known for stand—up and panel shows, but has written the netflix sitcom, the duchess. she described how her boyfriend, bobby koostra, wrestled her computer off a masked intruder. she then joked that she would get a german shepherd after her small dogs were "asleep at the wheel" during the incident. victoria is never asleep at the wheel. let's go back to the programme. thank you! it's rare to hear members of the royal family speak so openly about their feelings. princess diana's famous interview to panorama in 1995 — in which she talked about the pain she'd suffered in her marriage — was groundbreaking. and now her son harry has opened up about the struggles he faces to move on from his mother's death. it's a wound that festers.

until 1850 when ralph waldo emerson put it and as he implicated himself in the charge with their pastriesand their cakes or sugar in their tea but after 1850 it was hard to taste the blood. and to carry it through the civil war that no human being worships one - - wishes to be enslaved. that slavery is good and the slave owners of the south and lincoln's responses very strange kind of goodness that no man wishes for himself. [laughter] but those wishing to wishing for slavery was absolved by the destruction itself. and think about what that would mean if you do the math in the country today. so my book is about the past but as i wrote it i kept thinking of the comment attributed to mark twain never said it but may have history does not repeat itself but it does rhyme. this is a rhyming story. fugitive slaves were the undocumented immigrants of their time.
