and people don't care about that, when they go to the grocery store every week, like i do at kroger, much they pay for eggs and a lot of issues that impacted this election, but the economy in those terms, how much working men and women can buy with what they're earning. neil: they doesn't do that. you stop, congresswoman, and camera crews often follow you when you shop. >> and you know the prices did you ever compel you to talk to the president before he was forced out of the race, or voluntarily dropped out of the race, whatever is the truth, that, look, i know you're talking about improvement on inflation, but i'm going here and it's still through the roof. your message is not resonating. >> well, here is the reality, inflation has come down, but it hasn't gone down to the people that are paying for, when they're going to kroger or target or costco. neil: i know that and they never did that, joe biden never did that, kamala harris never did that. >> we've got to figure out a way to get at what is causing it, why is it inflated? i'll tell you something else that -- a subject that i

chains and found that walmart's were anywhere from 10% to 23% lower than the likes of albertson's, krogert guest says that price gap is pushing walmart's growth momentum forward. that stock outpacing competitors by as much as 28% this year. and it was our mystery chart. joining me is michael lassar, equity research analyst at ubs covering the food retail space. michael, how do they keep doing it and why can't other chains match prices or does it just not matter so much for them? >> well, kelly, 20% of all grocery sales in the united states go through walmart in one way, shape or form. so it has unmatched scale in this category that it uses to generate purchasing leverage in all of the areas that it buys. and then it hands over those savings to the consumer in the form of lower prices. so it's a phenomenal model that has been working well for a long time. and now it's turbocharging that by adding other elements to its business model like advertising, third-party marketplace fees, membership fees. and this is providing further opportunity for walmart to invest in areas like price and furthe

lower corporate tax rates do give companies, like kroger and albertson's, a little more room on margin i said it to jason fuhrman, he said no, it does in the buy-back. but if you look at the -- when trump cut taxes, kroger did a big press conference in cincinnati announcing they're going to invest that back into wages. that was the key political issue at that time. i wonder if he can use this leverage on lower corporate prices to invest in price and eat a little bit of the margin because they'll do better on corporate taxes. >> you can argue to see why they didn't, to see why pricing was what it was. it's not clear to me. the last thing that biden seems to understand is that the supermarket prices went up big. you know what we should do? >> talk about ai? >> we should bring in arm holdings. what do you think? >> go for it. >> shares reversing some earlier stupid losses after beating the estimates. david is laughing at me, rememrenee. we know that the analyst seem to have some sort of an mist toward you. you raised everything you said would happen, and what they're keying on, i don't kn

albertsons, kroger, some are still in play. said you know what? there is just going to be a big no from the government. that said, today, you look at two stocks. capital one financial trying to merge with discover financial. both of those stocks are roaring higher. what do you expect when it comes to mergers and acquisitions and is that a good thing for shareholders but also consumers? >> i think it is a good thing for shareholders and consumers, because it allows capital flow freely into areas that are expanding over time, and when you take a look at development of a.i., companies that need to be bought, capital that needs to be moved around, when you open up the freedom of capital to do that, you get better results over time. so it's all of these companies that need to get this done so they can be better aligned, better profitability, better for consumers and better for investors. liz: okay except for oil and gold right now which are both pulling back, jason, what would you be buying today? >> on this theme of m&a, you have t

we lose so when albertson's announced in 2022 it was going to merge this time with kroger, people wereightly worried. worried that the prices would go up. worried there would be fewer choices and deserts in their communities. that more grocery stores would close. and when asked about the merger one washingtonian told the "seattle times" times she was worried that her local store would close she said if there are no other grocery stores i can walk to i don't know what i'm going to do. this is my store. another said that he worried the merger would make it so that prices would go sky-high. worsers worried it would be harder for them to bargain for better pay and working conditions that. store closers would mean layoffs and their families would face uncertainty and hardships once again. this time something was different. my colleagues and i urged the biden administration to challenge the proposed deal and the federal trade commission agreed we couldn't allow another bad merger to go through. the f.t.c. and many state attorneys general, including in my state, challenged the deal. and while

there's a kroger. goodness gracious. there could even be a harris teeter or something like that. i don't know. dream big right. dream big. and so they had options. they had different trading relationships that they could go to with their deer skins. they didn't just have one place. and so what this meant then is that they could you know, kind of see what was on offer, and then say, well, this is really great. but you know what? i could get much things for cheaper if i went to the british and historians are really good at naming. we call this the playoff system playoff. that was a joke meant to laugh. it meant very good. thank you. so when that meant is that the individual groups would play european powers off of one another. right. because just as native people during this time are seeing themselves distinct, independent groups. right. it's also to remind ourselves that in the 18th century, europeans weren't going around high fiving themselves, going, we're all europeans. that's great, right? we're all one people. not. not true. right. the british and the french spent the entire

kroger admitted to inflating their prices.did it when i worked there and you know, now we got, you know, a strike at kellogg's at the plant when you were there in 2021. >> kellogg's, which which leads me, i guess, to some of the lessons learned, the postmortem, because donald trump and the republicans walk in with a mandate. but given what we're hearing from them and some of the appointments being made now, it's not yet clear that they have heard what the voters seem to have been wanting to appeal to and for in the future. and we definitely didn't hear that. it turns out, from the kamala harris and the democrat side and that is not the gender divide that that many thought we'd see in this election cycle. but really, the class divide that, that people. you honed in on that. talk about some of the lessons learned for for both parties going forward. >> yeah, that's that's absolutely right. right. i mean, the middle class makes up the bulk of the population and the bulk of the voters. so when you're talking about middle, you know

and you've had things like the kroger takeover of albertsons being delayed.ou have the tapestry, which used to be koch takeover of capri delay. that's probably going to go away. so you're going to see some more mergers and acquisitions, what they call deal making on wall street. that's really going to accelerate. you're also going to see less regulation maybe on things like banks, which is why the bank stocks are going up. and you're also going to see a movement under trump towards crypto. he is a big fan of crypto. and you've seen bitcoin go from trading at 62,000 to something like $74,000 per coin. so there's a there's a lot of changes going on here. very dynamic, very dynamic. >> let me also ask you, because president elect trump is promising to really step up tariffs on on other countries here, promising tariffs on all imported goods into the u.s, a 10% tariff on all goods and even higher rate for china. help everyone understand who pays for those tariffs. is this going to mean that that we all pay more for the things that we buy? >> well, you and heather
