and within the first year leslie gave birth to her daughter little leslie who is one of the main peoplettle leslie is 89 today. so this is -- they look like bankers, don't they? well they are. the chap on the left is the deal catchings. some of you may have heard of him, some not. harrison williams owned the largest power generation company and united states. catchings was the chairman of goldman sachs and together they decided in 1928 that they were going to start telling people whose companies they wanted to acquire once the crash came and that they should load themselves up with debt. one thing that conde rice believed in you go to the experts in the expert adviser and at the end of the day it's your decision but you have to trust the experts. these men were his friends and he trusted them and they loaded him up with too much debt so when the crash came condÉ was worthless and condÉ nast publication was actually taken over by them. they tried to get condÉ out of the company. they might have succeeded if it wouldn't have been been for ed note woman chase. they wanted to make her in ch

margaret: great question.tion - let me first thank leslie. so buffalo was a big deal at the turn-of-the-century. we are seeing that same type of optimism now, but it was very proud of its accomplishments and its state-of-the-art architecture, the finest asphalt streets in the country, electric streetcars, electric lights. it was big, 300 50,000 people at the turn-of-the-century. it had fathered two presidents and it had big dreams. one of the things that hope to do was to become bigger and raise its profile, so one of the ways that cities do this is to host a huge exposition, and buffalo had big ideas that it's pan-american exhibition would be even more grand than the world infair that took place chicago in 1893. mark: electricity was still new and played a big part. can you talk about how dazzling the affair looked at night? the electric tower was one of the signature buildings of the exposition and the affair really was all about electricity in many ways. it celebrated its command over the natural world, represented by niagara falls. we had

leslie? heard from the experts today is that we're basically entering what many across the country would consider to be a normal real estate market. that is somewhat stable prices, slight increases compared to what the bay area usually experiences with big jumps every year. year to year, median sales prices down 7% in fremont. 9% in dublin. 11% in, he hercules. >> home buyers and home sellers are so used to prices going up year-over-year, that when prices drop or stabilize, some people are freaking out. >> here is what is going on according to data from 34 east bay cities, many had more homes on the market in august when compared to last august. but 21 of them saw prices drop. some by double digits. with the lower prices, you'd expect maybe an increase in sales or bidding wars. it was the opposite. fewer sales and homes sat on the market in 23 of these cities more much longer than usual. a year ago the average home was up for sale 14 days. now it's 30 days. does that mean bad luck for sellers

. >> bret: leslie, we saw some early reporting and president trump's administration about phone callsabout the specifics of those phone calls from transcripts or actually hearing those calls, so this, i guess, falls into that line. >> yes. when the president talks about fake news, this is very different than some of the other fake news accusations he's made. there is a transcript. there are written assists to the conversation. we don't know how many certainly within his country, but the statute is very clear. there obviously seems to be a disagreement between the acting director mcguire and the inspector general, who did find this of an urgent nature and the statute is clear, if that is the case, then he, acting or otherwise, is supposed to provide that information to congress. so in a sense, he has broken the law, and if there is nothing so damning here, then why isn't congress being divided with the information right when they requested a? that would be the proper chain of commandprocess not to followe process as it's been laid out in the statute and been followed prior. >> bret: to

smile direct is kicking off as the company reveals more about its plans to go public leslie knows this one inside and out. this is disrupting the disrupter of the braces industry >> indeed, they are. they do this teledentistry process which is different than your regular orthodonia. they met with the sale force to kind of help explain to them how to market this to investors and went on to citi group and they are the two lead underwriters in this deal. they were seeking about $1.3 billion in this ipo at the high end of the range, which would actually make this deal the fifth largest u.s. listed ipo of the year and their valuation is a whopping $8 billion more than 2.5 times their latest private round valuation from just last october, kel now as you alluded to, the company makes teeth alignment at a fraction of the cost of even the traditional invisilign that people are familiar with and braces the way they do that, they send you the molding for your teeth to your house or you can go to one of their smile shops or one of the drugstores they are affiliated with to take an impression of yo

alpha conference taking place in new york city where the whose who thayer top ideas let's get to leslie pick we are the highlights. >> big themes today including public versus private markets, the complications of negative interest rate and the fallout from the trade war with china. there were also mixed views on the state of the u.s. economy. >> american economy is booming it's absolutely undeniable. >> we think the consumer is the bright spot in a u.s. economy. but that cap exand the manufacturing sector is obviously in recession. >> the short-termism of investors is what kills the long-term abilityto compound my biggest fear is people are uninvested from the hangover of 2008. >> in addition to macroideas notable investors gave specific picks. jim chen ohs soak spoke about two shorts including in grub hub. the stock fell sharply after he criticize the the company for making almost no money per order. he said he was short a kidney dialysis company leon cooperman says he is long energy and and another bullish on uber on soviet bank disney is his largest holding direct to consumer stream

leslie marshall, democratic strategist and former cia analyst buck sexton.sn't seem, bill, that formally things have changed much from where democrats were. >> no, i don't think it's changed at all. mrs. pelosi announced -- i think her words were "official impeachment inquiry" ," but what kind of an inquiry as this? official inquiry but just calling it that doesn't mean it. it's amazing that she hasn't been pressed on that word because i am i understanding is it requires a vote to authorize committees to do this. this is a problem for two reasons. one, it's the same kind of fake impeachment because impeachment has a built-in accountability. you have to vote for it. and it's not congress beginning impeachment proceedings, it's mrs. pelosi authorizing them. the second one, as you point out, the courts look very differently on an oversight inquiry from an informal impeachment proceeding where they are entitled to a lot more information. so i think they're going to have a harder time and less they do have that boat but of course this is the one thing mrs. pelosi

guys >> all right, leslie thank you. and we're going to stick with upcoming ipos. next guest is invested in several companies that are considering debuts this year, including pallen tiantir and wih he says there may be a better way to go public palantir co-founder, joe lonsda lonsdale, joins us now joe, good morning. >> good morning. >> so in recent days, we had this op-ed from sequoia's mike moritz on this topic also, i've been trading some messages with benchmark's bill gurley about this same thing they say the current system is broken there's too much money being left on the table, and it's too, just, oblique. companies don't really get to see how this works it's like ticket scalpers. and you agree. what's better? >> you know, most of what we spend our time on out here, obviously, is the next big thing. what's going to be 100x in five years. but as you mentioned, a lot of our ipos are coming up i've only been through a few ipos myself and bill has been through a lot more bill gurley said, the banks are taking advantage of us he gave the warren buffett example, w

but just like last year, patrick mahomes ignited a lot of excitement >> talked to leslie about this >> she knows this one oh, so well >> wearing her chiefs red. >> exactly why i wore the red today. >> that's what it comes down to. if they have the stars and story lines, people will watch >> and they do they do. we're not even going to talk about antonio brown and what happened this afternoon with that development >> suspended apparently. >> we'll see what happens. >> amazon, which got into this game as well last year is showing us the way that streaming could be challenging broadcast networks and if they can ramp up their coverage to include those story lines, the stars and all the things the broadcast networks know really well how to do, far better than the upstarts, it could prove challenging. right now football and broadcast, it's a symbiotic relationship football needs broadcast broadcast needs football >> who needs who more? watch disney in this regard. i know disney has a million other things going on. if espn which is suffering viewership declines from "monday night football" o

okay, loser, leslie?h his attack of the former vice president. i think not only did he have booze in the audience, but i think he really alienated an entire segment of our population, which are senior citizens, because he clearly wasn't knocking on the former vice president's age. >> bret: okay, katie, loser, what do you have? >> kamala harris. she needed to do better in this debate. she has been lighting in the polling. she clearly was trying to push forward a stick tonight, she's been doing it on the campaign trail. it comes off as phony. she seems very insecure in her policy positions. i think she was the loser. >> bret: ladies, i can always count on you for succinct answers. winners and losers, leslie and katie, thanks so much. a big winner tonight, our coverage here from houston, comer covering the third democratic debate. to our coverage postdebate, on the show we had senator amy klobuchar, mayor pete buttigieg, senator bernie sanders, mr. andrew yang, secretary julian castro, represented jackson le

leslie picker joins us she has more on the story. leslie >> reporter: hey, becky.the lead ipo underwriter. a few hours from now pell lleyton's executives will be here with the firm's sales force with how to hone in on how to market the deal to investors this is effectively the start of the road show where the executives will travel the country over the next two weeks seeking to sell more than a billion dollars worth of stock to investors in this ipo they set a price range last night that values peloton at about $8 billion their pitch will focus on a few key areas. high retention of users. the stickiness of their product. what they call essentially addictive fitness. also they say their model is vertically integrated. they control the end-to-end supply chain whether it's the media, software, delivery of bikes to homes and so forth. also, they say for investor purposes they've got a very predictable revenue stream as well as margin expansion that should be somewhat easy for investors to model out now it's worth noting, guys, that comcast, the parent of cnbc, is an in

leslie brinkley has more on the plan. >> reporter: this industrial warehouse on clark avenue in pittsburg will soon house a cannabis manufacturing plant. to put it in perspective, there are only four cannabis distributors licensed in all of contra costa county. there are 113 in just the city of oakland. this is new territory for tinggeneraax revenue. the city projects 500,000 a year. the land was once part of the camp stoneman. this new facility operated by stoneman laboratories will immediately create 20 job, perhaps eventually employing 100. >> there'll only be distributing their manufactured products to licensed dispensaries or retail sellers. >> reporter: so no store front here. >> no store front here. >> reporter: those opposed refused to go on camera, concerned with homeless who camp out regularly here at night. but but they held out hope that the plant may bring added layers of security. the city reduced its buffer zone to 600 feet, something echoed by some neighbors. >> we live around here, too, not far from here, and kids know about that, young kids, marijuana, that's not good id

. >> leslie brinkley tagged along with two officers and joins us live from walnut creek to share her experience. >> reporter: those officers get to know the homeless by name, know their back story, so they can get them into the services they need. unfortunately, on our ride along today, we witnessed an arrest. >> that's approximately ten grams. >> reporter: 100 hits of meth in the possession of a homeless man living along the creek adjacent to broadway shopping center. these two police officers are day to day working to get the homeless clean and sober. if you didn't havguys, how would it be different? >> well, she looks out for us. feel like they keep it safe out here. >> how's it going, man? >> reporter: 66-year-old wayne was a guitarist, once upon a time, but since a stroke he's been homeless in walnut creek for a year. what do you think when you see these guys come up to say hello? >> at first i was kind of worried about it. not now. i do what they ask. as lhe tdoe ing pretty good, and you s there was housing coming. you were just waiting. i want to find out how we can move this

. >> leslie?arren. >> i thought buttigieg and booker tied for me. >> warren and klobuchar. >> warren and booker. >> warren and klobuchar. >> how many of you said warren as your first choice? that's six of you. so once again elizabeth warren did very well among this group. how many said cory booker? two. so it seems like cory booker came in second place among this group. everyone in this group tells us they like the fight in elizabeth warren. >> she's done this and she's done a lot in the past successfully. she wants to be in the fight and she's ready to go. >> she's very clear. she's articulate. she has plans and she gives details. >> names conspicuously absent when we asked our group who else they wanted to praise? joe biden and bernie sanders. >> to me, bernie seems like he's yelling at you when he's articulating what he's trying to get out. >> everyone in this group disappointed in julian castro taking a poke at joe biden's memory. leslie carpenter says she met castro a few weeks ago and advise

guys >> leslie, thank you let's expand this conversation stick around jump in on it too.ilsen earlier this year don's unconventional research helped him figure out that berkshire hathaway's inclusion was going to be part of the occidenta occidental anadarko deal don, let's start with you. you say that this was the perfect time for an activist investor to jump in? >> absolutely. it's been a lousy stock for basically randall stephenson's entire tenure. it looks like he'll be leaving the company in the next year this is the 13th year of being a ceo. that's your life expectancy. they are going through the succession process this is the time to jump in. >> i wonder how much of this was -- at&t said themselves that many of the things that they're being pushed or asked to do by elliott, they're already in the process of doing they've already kind of taken this on and maybe it's the perfect time because the stock has started to pick up, the company is at an inflection point, it's finally able to get on the ground with time warner and bring down some of the debt. it seems like it'

my name is leslie, and i work at mlk middle school. doctor matthews, i appreciate, i want to invite folks to continue the conversation. that is not the messaging we have been getting, or the communication we have been getting. our community has been told to cut $300,000 from our budget this year. this has brought up so many questions, and concerns, for our entire community. i feel really frustrated that this is happening to our community again. several hundred thousand dollars were cut from our school community we have to come down here in march of 2017, and here we are again fighting a similar battle. several colleagues of mine are worried about their jobs and their ability to stay at mlk. fear, uncertainty and mistrust have creeped into our communities. i feel frustrated that it feels like a larger system changing our youth and families. i feel frustrated that mlk students that they primarily in 94124 are getting resources taking away from them again. i feel frustrated that the system feels like it's perpetuating a macro to b's. even

here to dig into the headlines are dominic chu, leslie picker and bill griffith.come back, everybody. first up, smile correct cldirec a rough ipo. the worst debut selling at least half a billion dollars worth of shares since 2000. it plunged nearly 30% at the bell and rebounding about 9% today. a better story for cloudflare hanging on to a nice gain of about 23%. and as it was pointed out, this after the software space has been caught in kind of a violent rotation this week it is hanging in pretty well >> and the idea here is which do you want to accentuate, the pots or the negative. some would say cloudflare is more indicative of the general -- >> but what was wrong with smile? we have talked about the big high profile ipos. smile direct felt like it could have been another one of these like hey, levy's again >> and for me that is a consumer story. targeting the strong consumer about. >> exactly >> i did a little work on this, but what do you think of smile direct >> i will say it was surprising. because they did price above the range. so it is really rare to see
