Im Carl Quintanilla a busy morning well start with this report out of axios, a 2020 corporate hit list ranked by candidates mentioned on twitter tech heavily represented uber, twitter, alphabet making the top ten. Roger mcnamee is joining us along with casey newton. Good to see you guys roger, we talked about this list and it is probably only going to continue as we get further into the political season we mentioned where the banks are in all of this why is tech getting so much attention . You know, i think that it is very simple. Weve been in a really long bull market weve been in a period of time for maybe 40 years where we deregulated everything and given corporations almost total autonomy and the tech guys have taken advantage of that, even credibly successfully investors have loved it. But at the same time, a lot of harm is being done, being done to public health, democracy, privacy, competition and we have to have more balance in the economy consumers have got to benefit more from this Economic Cycle than they have been getting the last ten years and the tech guys frankly, they are easy to dislike because that are behavior is so obviously antisocial. And casey, maybe they are just easy to diss because they are popular. I was looking at the stock prices and the appreciation in amazon since the inauguration. It has been around 59 points better than the s p. Almost exactly the same as appl in that time period which is not on this list of targets. Maybe it is just that amazon has done pretty well, there is all that talk about the taxes that they dont pay and so it is easy to be beat up on them. But it doesnt necessarily hurt their performance stock wise yeah, i dont think that candidates sort of rattling their sabres during the campaign is going to effect the stock price of these companies but i would note that employees inside these companies are starting to get worried about what might happen if there is an Elizabeth Warren presidency. We heard Mark Zuckerberg earlier this year tell his employees that he was prepared to go to the mat and fight her if it came to that. So i think that there is a daunting awareness inside these companies that have concentrated so much power and are now among the very largest corporations in the world that depending on who wins the next election, they could be in for some hurt. I want to push back on that a little bit because at google, the situation is literally the opposite of that at google, a company that was famous for years for treating its employees really well, there is an open revolt beginning. And the company is using an anti labor Union Service company to try to prevent employees from organizing in any way. And i dont think that this is just about politicians i think increasingly employees are showing concern about the direction the companies are taking, that things dont look as innocent as they did a few years ago. And from a political point of view, im with casey, i dont think that it will affect stock prices much, but i think there are a lot of people questioning the value system of the people running these companies. And google jumped out at me on this list you have amazon number one, facebook number two. Alphabet, 2 , way down on this list and yet they are one of those companies we talk about in it terms of big tech, the antitrust scrutiny, the privacy and data stuff. And as you mentioned, everything that is going on with employees right now. Why do you think the disparity i think that it is really simple casey nailed it. Not paying taxes is going to make amazon is target. The notion that these poor people are being hurt and maimed in the warehouses are paying more taxes than the corporation is, that isnt going to sit well with anybody and obviously facebook has behaved badly for several years. And google by comparison has great pr the one who completely skates is microsoft whose Business Model is really similar, but their pr is fantastic so nobody even thinks of them in the same breath and of course you have uber and lyft on the list too speaking to the tug of war were seeing where ridesharing is concerned. Yeah, i think ridesharing on one hand is a Great Service that i think most of us use to get around during the week, but it always raises a ton of really important questions about, you know, congestions in cities or the working conditions for those drivers. So im glad that it is getting attention from the folks running for president. And i would argue microsofts Business Model way different from amazon, facebook and google they are not ecommerce. They are not advertising they are leaning heavily into enterprise sure they make some money off advertising, but not nearly the scale as the others. And to push back on that, microsoft is a very successful practitioner of capitalism they start gathering data on children using minecraft, follow them through xbox live and then of course they get to linkedin and they have them in the workplace. I think youre right, they manifest it differently. They do have a different Business Model but we shouldnt pretend that they are not a huge beneficiary of the same trends that have allowed google and facebook to become so dominant all right, well watch that meantime reservations for teslas cyber truck now up to 250 k, according to a tweet by elon musk. Although were back in the same position as we were a year ago saying if he has data points like this, why we dont see it in an a. K. I think that it is a good question you know, at the same time, i think that is it too early to call this truck a huge success like this is the most interesting looking vehicle weve seen in this country since the delorean and they have already taken 250,000 preorders i think if you can afford this car and you have a place to put it, chances are you might want it roger, are these really preorders or are they fan club dues im more inclined to think that they are fan club dues it is 100 bucks. It is refundable if you like tesla, why wouldnt you put 100 bucks out there and get updates and then be part of the rahrah crowd. Tesla has never really given us hard numbers on how many of these deposits, whatever you want to call them, actually translate into people buying the thing once it is available jon, im with you on that point. Im not a car person, but dude, that is one of the ugliest looking vehicles ive ever seen. And the notion that you put 100 bucks down, you put your name on the list, i totally get that but we should not forget the great thing about tesla, it is a fan club i mean, the brand equity is huge i worry about the Balance Sheet and their manufacturing strategy but, wow, what a brand i mean, it really is they have earned it i dont think ive come across anybody who doesnt have a strong opinion one way or the other about the design but i wonder if maybe the biggest impact near term is on marketing. I mean, youve seen what is going on between tesla and ford. You got lego coming out on twitter making fun of it as well saying the evolution of the truck is here, guaranteed shatter proof. What do you think . Are they making fun or just trying to be part of it . That is my point. It has become a bigger marketing push almost. Completely. And if you are a technology company, this is the thing that you are trying to do that is the ha hardest thing do which is to create a moment. And look how often tesla has been able to do it obviously this design will be very polarizing. I couldnt even believe the thing when i thought it. I had to look at like ten images before i believed that this was the real product but officer the last week or so, it has grown on me and, you know, were talking about it now. It is part of the conversation i think there is a good chance this becomes an iconic vehicle of the 2020s the spicy chicken sandwich of a truck. It is wow that chicken sandwich is good. Lets wait until we test drive it before we start giving it iconic status fair enough finally, roger, congratulations on in new yorker piece. It is incredible chronicles the way in which you stepped out from the pack early on and have largely been proven correct. Regle reflections on this piece . I have to say thank you to the whole team at squawk alley. You were willing to take this story up in august of 2017 before anyone else on earth. I want to say thank you also to casey who has been simply unbelievable in digging into the facebook side of this thing. That story happens to be about me, but it should just as easily been about you or casey or Tristan Harris there are so many people who worked on this not because we dislike internet platforms, not because we dont like technology, but rather because we love both and want them to behave in a way that allows society to flourish and allows all the people who use their technology to be successful and hopefully one day well get that point across and well all be better off. Casey, i wonder having read the piece, having seen sashas speech, if you think that population of critics is growing. Yeah, it really is. Criticizing these platforms is now an absolute mainstream position and you can tell when a celebrity speaks up and speaks out, there is a huge audience for it so i think that this will be a growing problem for facebook in particular in 2020 Sacha Baron Cohens speech is powerful because he really he understands the issues and he really laid it out in an incredibly clear way he was putting into words things that were on peoples minds that they hadnt been able to arctic cute late. And the framing of it was simply brilliant. I hope that he is the firstarcte and the framing of it was simply brilliant. I hope that he is the first of a long series of high profile people because this is everybodys issue. Roger, we hope everybody reads the oped and of course reads the profile of you in the new yorker. Have a great thanksgiving, guys. Happy thanksgiving. Still to come, an earnings beat sending shares of auto desk higher pl stock up 4 . And Andrew Anagnost will join us exclusively on those results next stay with us it was sophies big day. By the way, shes the next mozart. As usual we were behind schedule. But sophies enthusiasm cannot be dampened. Not even by a runaway donut. We powered through it in our toyota prius. Because a stars got to shine, no matter what. Its unbelievable what you can do in the prius. Toyota lets go places. Fidelity has zero commissions for online u. S. Equity trades and etfs, plus zero minimums to open a brokerage account. With value like this, there are zero reasons to invest anywhere else. Fidelity. Shares of auto desk are hire off the back of strong earnings. The companys results led the price target going up to 195 a share. And joining us now is their ceo Andrew Anagnost. Good morning good morning. So rev nenuewise, you had u side versus guidance based both on some pull forward from q4 you talked about, also some upfront payments normally were used to more of a subscription cadence explain what happened there. Yeah, so first off, revenue, earnings, billings, tree cafree flow all came in above targets we upped the guide on all of those numbers. And a bit of a wobble that is an accounting thing, it is the way a. R. Is calculated and the way 606 accounting works but that up front revenue we talked about really is key rushing, it just isnt recognized over 12 quarters. So it takes money out of one quarter and moves it into another. It is all accounting but the fundamental business economics were solid and were getting reward for it. Your software gets used by so many people around the world and companies who are building and designing things so i often wonder the extent to which we can look into your results for evidence of how bullish or not various geeing a gri geographies are on building for the future you didnt say that you necessarily see any signs of a downturn coming. Why are you investing particularly in infrastructure right now and is there anything that you didnt mention on the call downturn wise that you do see on the horizon first off, you see a lot of conversation about Infrastructure Investment and the power of Infrastructure Investment in various by various governments. So you want to be part of that infrastructure conversation. And investing in infrastructure is a long term play for the company regardless of what the economic climate is like, but it is also a smart play when people are talking about are we heading into a downturn, is the cycle ending so it is just Good Business to invest in that area both long and short term but were not seeing anything in the markets that indicates that well see slowing in our business and you touched on mentioning regardless of the economic environment. Given the fact that we got the big thanksgiving parade of data this morning, a number of wall street analysts suggesting that maybe we are seeing a bottoming in the slowdown in manufacturing. Is that your read through the li lens of the company as well . We saw softening in manufacturing early. We highlighted it in germany in terms of some of the softness we saw there. We actually saw an improvement in our german Manufacturing Business quarter over quarter. So that is consistent with what were seeing you also saw the maintenance to subscription Conversion Rate up to an alltime high of about 40 . Wonder if you can give more detail on the mechanics of that. I know that youve been raising the maintenance prices, maybe frying to push people into more of a subscription mode but what other kinds of factors might be increasing that rate which i guess is a positive for you guys our goal is to get every one of those customers on subscription we think it is better for them, it is better for us. One thing youre seeing is were coming to the end of the program. We had a two year program which was allowing our customers to move from maintenance to subscription and maintain some of their lower prices and lock them in . That program is coming to an end this year. So people are coming forward and moving there is a 20 price increase sitting out there on maintenance. So people are starting to weigh their options and move more aggressively into the subscription model i want your thoughts on the fact that so many Industrial Companies are leaning in on technology these days. I realize for as many that i could site as examples, more broadly this trend were seeing in the industrial sector right now, does that create more competition for auto desk or is that something that could be a tail wind . Yeah, you know, a great question it actually creates a lot more opportunity. One thing that people dont realize about auto desk because historically over the last ten years, weve been know as the autocad company. But because of solid modeling and fusion and what were doing there, we are the biggest and most important 3d modeling player in the market and this is where people are investing moving forward, they are investing in bim, in new design to manufacturing work flow, they are investing in the cloud. Something that auto desk has been investing in the last seven years. So these are all areas where people are leaning into them at rates faster than in the past. And so that is a tail wind for us yeah, there will be more competition and we embrace that. It validates where were going technologically. And investors leaning in this morning with the stock up nearly 5 andrew, thanks for being with us thank you when we come back, death by a thousand cuts.

And the big question how do you compete with amazon juggernaut that does everything from shipping to returns to warehousing . Sure you can sell through amazon, but then they would be giving up Sensitive Data to a potential competitor you may remember the auburns knockoffs. So call it a dtc ecosystem but it is about branding wary of working with amazon. It is made up of those like stripe which handles payments and also firms that provide credit to buy things like way democrat wayfair furniture and even a startup that wants to give one day shipping a run for its money called dark store. The ecosystem the includes established names like instagram for ecommerce flplatforms. It is helping to raise money from some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley and wall street it may also help these direct to Consumer Brands avoid the black friday and cyber monday discounts that traditional retailers are touting this morning i checked the websites and not a deal to be found the strategy employed last year could help them maintain brand strength at a time when other retailers like gap and j ycrew are struggling to maintain theirs a fascinating trend and some of the establishment players like u. P. S. Have launched startups as well. So a big trend to watch. Thanks time for a news update good morning here is what is happening at this hour. European and middle eastern regulators will be conducting independent reviews of bos next new aircraft the 777 x, this is a break from long standing practices where u. S. Built planes were primarily reviewed by the faa. Pope francis named a new chief financial regulator in the vatican. The previous Position Holder left last week after five years at the post. But this all comes after unprecedented police raids on the organization last month. Protests in iraq continued wednesday with demonstrators and police clashing in baghdad and in the southern oil capital, protestors prevented government employ yeaees from getting to wk and former u. S. President jimmy carter is getting discharged from an atlanta hospital after undergoing surgery to relieve pressure on his brain. That pressure was caused from a series of recent falls that caused some bleeding mr. Carter, age 95, will return to his home in plains, georgia with his wife to celebrate thanksgiving and recover and we wish him the very best. You are up to date back downtown to squasquawk a. And lets get the european close in a couple minutes. Dom chu has the breakdown. It has been a pretty good month overall. Markets generally in the green as you see behind me the positivity around record highs in the u. S. Market helped along with that bull case around the world. It has been the case recently that it is incrementally positive 2k0e67developments on u. S. china trade talks pushing things higher. And confidence in france also came in better than expected so you had that going. The dax in germany andibex in spain are among the outperformers. The broader euro stock exchanxxd hit a four year high helped by strength in Telecom Stocks and among stocks on the move today, youve got seb, rising by over 3 after the swedish bank said it found no evidence to support allegations of aiding some companies implicated in a russian tax fraud scheme and meanwhile you got shares of a make bre of brar of braking ss posted disappointing results and u. S. Listed shares of Manchester United are soaring today. And that is due in large part to what is happening with competing Team Manchester city because silver lake took a 10 plus stake for 500 million and so man city valued at 4. 8 billion and that is seen as marking up the value of other franchises including Manchester United so soccer is making waves in that market. Back over to you that value nation ation is bs help. After the break, ceo of vmware will join us. Stay with us driverless cars, or trips to mars. No commission. Delivery drones, or the latest phones. No commission. No matter what you trade, at fidelity youll pay no commission for online u. S. Equity trades. The amount of Student Loan Debt i have, im embarrassed to even say. We just decided we didnt want debt any longer. I didnt realize how easy investing could be. Im Picking Companies that i believe in. I think sofi money is amazing. Thank you sofi. Sofi thank you, we love you. Vmware stock is trading up a fraction of a percent. And with us now is their ceo, pat gelsinger. Good morning good morning, jon, great to talk to you again and happy thanksgiving to you and all your viewers. Happy thanksgiving. Always great to talk to you. Maybe you can help us make sense not just of vmwares results but understand what is happening in enterprise tech. Weve seen kind of a couple different stories playing out even yesterday Dell Technology i on the hardware side you have intel chip shortage, memory cost increases, kind of a large enterprise slowdown in spending on hardware. But as you said in the past, there is not that much of a correlation between what is happening in hardware and what vmware sees. That continues to be the case, right . Yeah, very much and there is certainly some turbulence on the hardware or on premises the spend side. And after an extraordinary last year spend, much bigger than people would have thought, a moderation this year, obviously some of the supply chain aspects of cpus and memories but our results are showing that vmware has always helped people get efficiency from the data center spend and we saw it again this quarter that that investment really is related to workload growth and the ability for us to take customers to the cloud. We saw strength in some of our emerging products and subscription business. So were clearly seeing this thesis that people are investing in us as the pathway to the future and having just finished worldwide tour through all three g. O. S, we believe that Digital Transformation is alive and well people are so no correlation between wh he were seeing or is there a slight negative correlation because people arent spending on hardware because they can spend on some of the technologies that you are investing into get more efficiency we think any correlation there is weak at best. And in some ways weve always been able to be ill say enabling them to get more from their hardware investment. And now enabling them again to get more from not only their onpremise data center, but combining that with public cloud even gives additional efficiency as well. So in that sense were somewhat t Counter Cyclical and weve been talking about Hp Enterprise ceo making his case for why they are a way to go there but this is a big investment, a project for you guys kind of tying containerization into your fees for your product. It is in beta now. When will we see it actually come out fully ready and this idea of Cooper Netties is maybe as powerful as Virtual Machine and java was 20 years ago. So we see it as a major Inflection Point where the industry is agreeing how applications will get built and get automated. And for that, pacific is bringing it into the core v sphere and for us this is hundreds of thousand of customers, millions of people that use our products will become enabled and it is a beta today great interest weve been oversubscribed, expanded it twice already. And it will be part of the next major release that will come early next year. So we are well on track to deliver what we think is a Ground Breaking technology and part of the bigger strategy that weve laid out with the pivotal acquisitions that will soon be closing. All of that gives us great assets to capitalize on the Cooper Netties transition for the industry java has been huge for technology, not just in the enterprise, but consumer as well it was a really big deal so that is a high bar that you are setting. What sort of an advantage is this going to give vmware assuming project pacific works out the way you planned over rivals i dont know if you want to talk in terms of months or years of lead or what the unique thing that vmware brings to the table is the ability to combine dootodays applications with tomorrow hes containers and doing that in a seamless way. This is like a gold mine because people dont need to build new for the new stuff, they are able to run it on their existing and modernized environments as well. And that seamlessness saves them years in their application migration and modernization process. Millions in investment and helps them modernize to a hybrid, multicloud future. And furthermore customers will look for a common way to manage multiple Cooper Netties clouds and this is what weve been doing forever. In the past we said, hey, we made hp, dell, few j, we made it okay and so now well make it okay and were quite uniquely positioned in the industry to enable both the integration of the path and future and multiclouds in to the future, super well positioned on this Key Technology talk to us about carbon black. You have that now. We talk about security a lot but security stocks stand alone. And are often some of the most volatile so how are you going to make carbon black an integrated part of vmware that delivers i guess reliable earnings going into the future how do you integrate it and monetize it in a way that is profitable and ive been very critical of the Security Industry where ive said, you know, every year for the last ten years this has been the Fastest Growing piece i. T. Budget. But weve had faster growth in the number and cost of breaches. That is the definition of a broken industry. Thousands of products and suppliers who are spending more and getting less from the customer this is broken and what were doing is Building Security into the platform were building it in the network, into the client with work space 1 common end to he said cloend c t analytics. And in the process being able to operationalize it, operate it consistently with already running their apps and infrastructure and we believe that this will be industryshaping im out to change the Security Industry because simply put the world shoutop should stop puttio much on their future platform if we cannot just create a new business but really change what the industry is doing and how customers are able to get secure infrastructure and applications in it to the future. Finally i want to talk about sales. I believe you announced some shuffles how is the playbook if at all for how Enterprise Software sales, cloud sales needs to happen in 2020 going to be different from 2019 . And weve been very happy with our european leader they came over four years ago. He committed to three, gave us four and he will continue with the company in a strategic capacity as he for personal reasons moves back to europe were bringing in jean pierre. Trading a frenchman for an italian. So we expect to be an extremely smooth transition for us and increasingly were selling solutions where were going to the customer and saying you can buy the individual products, but take the solution from us. Because every day that we enable customers to spend less time looking down at infrastructure and looking up at their application and their business transformation, that is the unique thing that were out to enable customers do, take the complete solutions for the data center, the cloud, for the end user experience, bring them from vmware, viewer take strategic suppliers that you are relying on for more and helping you accelerate your Digital Transformation and were thrilled as we look into the next fiscal year to deliver on that in a powerful way for the customers. And we think that we are super well positioned to do exactly that and we look forward to seeing how you continue to compete. Pat gelsinger of vmware, great to have you. Happy thanksgiving thanks. Always a pleasure. Still to comkcome, the figh over your digital wallet and rick santelli, what are you watching today data points mostly very solid. Market reaction lctllauay logical. Well talk about the outlier after the break. s easy. But then you have to connect, download, edit, reformat, output, save, send, upload. Still uploading. And maybe eventually post. This isnt working. Introducing samsung business video solutions. With the galaxy note10, you can shoot, edit and post thumbstopping videos, all from one device. Samsung business solutions. Dow is up 7 points lets get the santelli exchange. Good morning. You know, it has been a very strange couple much months especially if you are watching the interaction between Interest Rates, data in the economy, global data regarding the global economy, and of course the equity markets i know mike santoli who does great market commentary yesterday showed a correlation of stocks and the price of instruments in the treasury complex. And of course when price goes up, yield goes down. They correlated because they dont correlate if you look at yields versus equities and that really is more of my focus. A historically many investors always fear Interest Rates, but i point to some of the best times over the last several decades and solid Economic Data represents an upward movement in Interest Rates that should be followed by an upward move in equities and everything beyond that makes me scratch my head a bit today we had gdp jump from slightly under 2 on slightly over 2 . And to many, that isnt a big deal, but it is a big deal to me and i think that it is psychologically important as well as we twra ry to tie up maf the issues that may be holding the economy from producing more horsepower as we come close year end. Look at the intra day chart and it had a positive effect and that is the way it is supposed to work. But there was a couple other points that i want to show you regarding todays numbers. Capital goods orders up 1. 2 and that is always a proxy for business spending. Second best number of the year, first best number is 1. 4 in january. And finally lets look at a chart going back to january 2015 on personal income you know, i did the data and unchanged doesnt sound so bad but it actually is because today was the third zero weve had going back to january of 2015. But if you look at november of 2015, it was minus one tenth so todays number was actually quite weak in the context of history. Morgan, back to you.

I recommend get the airline app you have and theyll tell you where the plane is coming from even if youre in sunny florida, the plane might be coming from chicago. If it starts to delay, you can get ahead of it and get rebooked before they cancel the flight. So so if you wait until the last minute flikts are packed.
