Quintanilla, kayla tausche, john ford joining me. Roger mcnamee, good morning to you. First up this morning, donald trump taking to twitter over the weekend, reiterating his threats to u. S. Companies considering moving production and jobs overseas. Any business that leaves our country for another country, fires its employees, builds a new factory or plant in the other country and thinks it will sell its product back in the u. S. Without retribution or consequences is wrong. The president elect calling for a 35 tax on companies who relocate outside the u. S. Promises like these sure to have an affect on equity markets, as well. Joining the conversation is samantha, great to see you this morning, welcome back. Roger, first lets get your take on what this means for business at large. How much are we discounting into these tweets real policy and how much of it now is bluster . I would make the assumption that its all bluster. We have only one data point to work from, the carrier transaction, where trump promised to save 2,000 jobs. He saved fewer than half the jobs and wound up bribing the company with 7 million worth of tax benefits, so to my mind this is an attempt, i think, to neutralize what was a really, you know, just a completely empty gesture relative to carrier, so my personal viewpoint as an investor, you have to ignore everything he says and just watch what he does. Samantha, is that how its going to work . I think there is a difference between the campaign rhetoric, which we might still be getting a bit of, versus the rhetoric when he takes office, so the way were looking at it is overall fiscal stimulus, which we know were going to get, is good for the markets and favors equities over fixed income. Wed be focusing more on the Asset Allocation implication on this than aspects of the tax policy. Last hour we heard 70 of the Company Sales come from outside the u. S. , so its not realistic to think that we would not have employees outside the country. Is the onus on companies to actually now show the administration and show the public exactly whom they are selling to and exactly where their customer is at the end of the day . I think really amazing u. S. Companies by their very nature are global companies, so there is an aspect to that, youre going to have production overseas. We know 50 of s p 500 revenues come from abroad, so they are contributing to those companies, as well. I think we pivot back to that part of it, thats a positive, something the markets latching on to. Samantha, how much danger is there here that the markets not taking the president elect seriously or literally . I mean, before the election it seemed like there was all this, you know, pro clinton, antitrump trade and now the market is saying hes not really going to do this stuff. Is there a danger that we start to see meat on the bone with these policies the market is going to have a long way to go in order to react . I think theres two aspects to this. First of all, the president operates in an ecosystem of congress, we have american institutions that we know are going to keep up in terms of keeping the way things are in check and with respect to the market, the market always grinds along. American business keeps on keeping on, so in some sense the strength of the u. S. Expansion that president elect trump is coming into, its still whole. We dont think any policy is going to be able to really derail that. Is that true, roger . I really hope samantha is right. I fear, and i think the smart money is going to bet that shes not. I look at it this way, which is paul ryan has an agenda that starts with dismantling the social safety net, beginning with medicare. Thats a tremendously disruptive move. They are clearly going to try to make some major changes to aca, the health care system. And, you know, i look at all that. The notion that this next period is going to be normal from a market perspective, i think, is very, very unlikely. I really hope samantha is right, but thats not where im betting or where the market will bet once the new president is inaugurated. Yeah. Thats going to be thats a deep, deep debate we will have to have another time over several shows. Samantha, good to see you. Or a cocktail. Meanwhile, amazon, roger, is taking ecommerce to a whole new level, announcing amazon go, an instore Shopping Experience with no registers or checkout lines. Instead, users check in using an app, then Machine Learning sensors, like those found in Driverless Cars track what shoppers put into their carts. You are then billed when you leave the store. Viewers writing in saying they are not the only ones with this sort of in the planning stages, roger, but how much of a revolution is this . Well, you know, i think this is part of a continuum that began a number of years ago when folks like home depot and cvs and albertsons, walmart, have experimented with Self Checkout and thats been a mix experience. I think the most compelling Consumer Experience was the one at home depot. Unfortunately the technology was then exploited by hackers to get access to all of their corporate accounts. So that didnt work out so well. These things have all had rough moments, and the Consumer Experience has been everywhere from fantastic for the person who otherwise would have been in line for a long time, to just dreadful. And i dont think that its been as good for the companies as theyd like to think. Amazons model, which appears to be a closed system, the whole thing is controlled by them, is way more consumer friendly, so i hope it works. Im not going to assume its going to move the needle much more amazon, because amazon is really big and really successful and i think moving the needle for them is hard, but i think this is another example of amazon, you know, really pushing the envelope in really interesting ways. I think this is i like this better than dot and some of the other things they are doing. Roger, this is john. So if we assume maybe the store of the future looks Something Like this, what does this say about the impact . So get rid of checkout lines, maybe that gets rid of some employees needed in the store, maybe it just reassigns those employees to a different location. Thats the first thing. The second thing, this reminds me of something the apple stores have had for a couple of years where you can use your phone on the wifi network to check yourself out. But when i go into an apple store now, i dont have time to actually use the app before an employee comes and offers to help me check out. I wonder if thats an indication maybe that process, maybe from a loss of wages perspective doesnt work so well . Well, john, i think thats a great question. The early results from Self Checkouts suggest that, in fact, Self Checkout works in a relatively narrow set of circumstances with todays technology. Amazons moving the technology forward. In principle it should enlarge the number of cases where it works, but the reality is, having human beings in the Retail Experience is actually one of the more positive things for many retailers. I mean, imaginativeativimaginae human beings are really a positive part of the experience. There are other circumstances in Grocery Stores might be an example, where its a mixed blessing. So i dont expect this to take over the world. Doesnt seem like an earth shattering thing. Roger, the last time i tried to use Self Checkout, tried to use a box of kleenex, it was so light that the register and bag never registered i had anything in there. Theres a lot that amazon has to get right for this to work and the consumer doesnt normally think of amazon as a Grocery Store or delitype store. Whats the risk that their first experiment with this goes wrong . Karla, i watched the video for this, which seems to imply it works the way the hotel refrigerators work, where when you take out the item from the fridge, automatically registers the thing coming out, so looks like the stores are going to be capital intensive. May be they found some way around that, but i do agree the shrinkage issue in cvs and albertsons have had a hard time with shrinkage. Whereas what amazon is doing, they are capturing the thing just by taking it off the shelf. That should work better on that, but as you point out, i think the number of Retail Experiences where thats going to fit, just initially be quite limited, but well see. Im just glad they are doing it, because i think variety is a cool thing. I think experimenting really does matter. I do think that the employment impact is going to be something. Hopefully not terribly huge, because i think what it will actually show as a cvs thing has shown, humans actually are a really positive part of retail. In specific instances i think people get your point. Finally, roger, concerns over espn sub numbers weighing on disney. Rbc saying they should consider spinning off to create more shareholder value. They talk about a spin, they talk about potentially finding a buyer, live sports, roger, has become not a crown jewel anymore, but a liability when you compare it to movies and parks and products. Do you agree . I look at this and i go, my gosh, talk about, you know, this has been the anchor or the most positive part of disney for a long, long time. But the world has, in fact, changed. And now the leagues are in charge of their own broadcasts and that makes espns role a lot less valuable than it was before Major League Baseball figured out how to present all of its games directly to fans, and i think footballs declined. Who knows if its temporary or permanent, but if its permanent, espns outlook is less interesting than it was. One thing i can tell you absolutely for certain, if this deal happens, it would be great for the investment bankers. It will certainly be fun to watch. I look at this and go, it does really speak to how things have changed in the television industry, that sports, which really drove the cable package is, in fact, its loss of influence is allowing unbundling and over the top stuff to really take off and i think espns going to be harmed by that. Certainly nailed it there. Not the way we used to think of it, thats for sure, in the whole ecosome. Good one, roger, see you next time, thanks. When we come back, inside look at biotechs latest frontier. Well go live to the American Society of hemtology conference. Markets nearing a close in italy and europe, the latest on that historic referendum and its failure. Later on, david fabers talking to thl scott sperling. Squawk alley continues in a moment. Generosity is its own form of power. You can handle being a mom for half an hour. Im in all the way. Is that understood . I dont know what shes up to, but its not good. Cant the world be my noodles and butter . Get your mind out of the gutter. Mornings are for coffee and contemplation. That was a really profound observation. You got a mean case of the detox blues. Dont start a war you know youre going to lose. Finally you can now find all of netflix in the same place as all your other entertainment. On xfinity x1. The American Society of hematology conference is bringing together the brightest in biotech, so lets get over to our own meg terrell with an exclusive interview. Meg . John, thank you so much. Joining us now is the new ceo of celgene, mark alas, thank you for joining us. New since march anyway. This conference is huge, you have your almost 7 billion dollar drug, Biotech Companies here, maybe not here, but with data. Whats the most exciting thing about this conference . The totality of our presence here. We have 300 abstracts of original research, 150 were selected for oral presentation. You know, thats the highest level of peer review that we could have, so a big presence, a lot of momentum, then, of course, it cuts across a number of cancers, high yo low ma, leukemia, nonhodgkins limymphl, so when you think about innovation, the data were presenting is practice changing. One partner, of course, in the news recently is immunotherapy, you have a Big Partnership you forged about a year ago making an investment in the company, as well as this technology. What can you tell us about the future of that technology . Well, there are two partnerships we should talk about. Juno, as you mentioned, but also our partners with bio. Lets take juno to start with. Its a tenyear deal to really work with some of the best scientists in the world about tcell biology. The start of that relationship is the program that you mentioned. This is a highly effective way of dealing with a patients leukemia and, in fact, using their own immune system to treat their leukemia. Theres been toxicity to keep it in clinical trial, but 90 of patients are going to complete remission with no other options for care. With that there is toxicity we have to deal with and understand, but were writing the rules how this is going to work. And when you have efficacy like this, the safety side will work its way out. We have other products with juno advancing. With respect to bluebird bio, we have a different process happening. The program is high owe llama and is exclusive to myoloma. In that context, you have incredible results, 100 response rate, but very, very early and importantly, very little toxicity. I think it matters which disease, it matters which process and target. I also want to ask about a Trump Administration, a lot of people speculating he will be able to bring back overseas cash. I understand you have almost 5 billion of cash overseas. What would you do with that if you had a tax holiday . Thank you. By the way, were very excited about this pro innovation Corporate Tax reform environment. I think the industry at large is excited about the opportunity to think about after decades of wondering about Corporate Taxes, what we can do. And you mentioned our balance sheet. We do have a lot of cash offshore. We thought a lot about that. We have a Board Meeting where were going to talk with our board about strategies of what to do. I think when you think about our corporate strategy, it aligns nicely with the idea we want to accelerate and build the company, and in an environment where cash is more freely available for strategic transactions and investment, this is a window where were very excited about what those opportunities might look like. So looking at potential purchases or more partnerships . I think its both. I think we think about later stage assets, proof of concept phase two or later stage phase three commercial ready assets, were excited about that. Weve been very aggressive over the years to look at those type acquisitions that fit into our strategic franchises, oncology, hematology, and, increasingly, immunolo immunology. Early partnerships is what were known for. We look for science wherever it is and build a complement with our own internal engine, so were looking from end to end, were going to follow the science and build the company. Just about out to time, but cant let you go without asking about drug prices. Some folks expect less pressure, do you expect that price and pressure to alleviate . The economics are unchanged. Didnt matter whether mrs. Clinton or mr. Trump won, the ethics or health care around the world are the same. We see this environment as construct i, positive, and opportunistic. Celgene in particular with high innovation and high cost products presenting huge value to society, we see this as an enormous opportunity to communicate effectively with all stakeholders, but especially with Trump Administration. Mark, thank you so much for joining us. Youre welcome, thank you. Back over to you guys. Thank you, meg, important insights there on innovation and possible tax reform. Still to come, as amazon looks to get rid of registers, another company is looking to revolutionize them. First, live to rome following the results of italys historic referendum. Squawk alley will be right back. [engine revving] is it a force of nature . Or a sales event . The season of audi sales event is here. Audi will cover your first months lease payment on select models during the season of audi sales event. Italian Prime Minister matteo renzi losing the referendum vote. Renzi says he will resign following the defeat. Julia is live in rome with all the latest. Julia, yet another win for populism in the west . Reporter hey, carl. Well, the honest answer is yes and no. Let me explain, there was clearly an antiestablishment, antiPrime Minister renzi vote last night, but there are subtleties and they are very important. Remember the thing about this referendum is, a yes vote last night could ultimately have made it easier for their five star movement, the populist party here, to get into power. A lot of people i spoke to over the last few days have told me they voted no to prevent that, so we did have an antiPrime Minister renzi vote, but also an antipopulist vote, and i think this is the Silver Lining we shouldnt miss. Let me bring you up to speed. 90 minutes away now from Prime Minister renzis final cabinet meeting. Hell then present his resignation to the president. Most likely outcome here is the president will accept. All sorts of names being thrown into the ring here. The most popular one is the countrys current finance minister. That would be the most positive for risk sentiment in italy. The most positive for the banks, too. Quick checks on the banks, were off the lows here, down less than 2. 5 . Guys . Julia chaterly in rome, well be checking in with you later on. Not just italy, seema mody has that at hq. Hey, seema. Carl, it is a very interesting session indeed in europe with stocks there outside of italy moving higher and shaking off those early session jitters. This despite Matteo Renzis defeat and the rejection of the constitutional reform, which does introduce a new bow to Political Uncertainty across europe and would likely embolden this populist antiestablishment view like the five Star National front and northern league, the two populist parties in italy. But not to mention other leaders across europe that hold the antiestablishment view, including marine le pen, who has welcomed the italian referendum result saying after brexit and the italy no vote, it adds a new people to the list of those who would like to turn their backs on what she calls absurd european policies which are plunging the continent into poverty. But a very different story in austria, which held its president ial election over the weekend. The center right leader Alexander Van der bellen defeated the far right candidate norbert hofer. Van der bellen called the vote pro european. Etx is higher by. 8. All these Political Developments are coming ahead of the European Central bank meeting on thursday, where the council will discuss the need for further stimulus and the consensus is for mario draghi and his council to extend quantitative easing for europe by six months. Well have to see if the conversation turns from politics back to central bank policy, which has been the key driver behind European Asset sets. All right, thank you so much, see seema. When we come back, our david faber sits down with a big name in private equity. Scott sperling live from the no labels conference in washington, where earlier nelson pelt discussed everything from his investments to outsourcing, to donald trump. His tax plan, if he gets the kind of tax reductions hes talking about, we will wind up having more employment, more companies coming back to the United States, whether they have gone to ireland or they are still america and theyve got their tax shelters in switzerland or holland. At the Marine Mammal center, the environment is everything. We want to do our very best for each and every animal, and we want to operate a sustainable facility. And pg e has been a partner helping us to achieve that. Weve helped the Marine Mammal center go solar, install electric vehicle charging stations, and become more energy efficient. Pg e has allowed us to be the most Sustainable Organization we can be. Any time you help a customer, its a really good feeling. Its especially so when its a customer thats doing such good and important work for the environment. Together, were building a better california. Hi, everyone, im sue herrera, heres your news update this hour. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter says the u. S. Is satisfied with japans contribution of the alliance between the two countries. He arrived in japan for meetings with Prime Minister shinzo abe. Japan reimburses the United States for a large fraction of those costs and thats good, too, but it shows its a twoway street, and as i said, the Alliance Relationship never been stronger than it is now. On the transition front, ivanka trump will meet with al gore later today to discuss climate change. Tomorrow, donald trump will meet with exxon ceo rex tillerson. Bill de blasio is asking congress for 35 million to cover the cost of protecting president elect donald trump. There has been very heavy security, as you know, at trump tower where trump has been spending the majority of his time since being elected. Youre up to date, thats the news at this hour. Back downtown to squawk alley. Carl, back to you. Thank you very much, sue. Lets get back down to david faber live at the no labels conference in washington, d. C. , with another special guest. Hey, david. Thanks, carl. Yeah, a lot of Business People here. As you might expect at a meeting of centrists, including my next guest, scott sperling, frequent guest of ours through the years and somebody ive known for a long time. Lets talk about tax reform. It would seem to me its got important implications for business across the board, but also for private equity, where you play. What are your expectations in terms of what were going toend up with and what the impact will be . I think the country has voted for change, and the country has voted for big change. And i think as we look at the set of issues that we have, they really focus around a lack of growth over the course of the last really decade that has caused many people not to participate the way that perhaps the top 20 of the country has participated. And one of the key drivers of that is to have in place a set of policies that support strong growth for our economy. And i think tax implication and tax reform, deregulation in a way that is prudent, both will contribute strongly to that level of growth that will be required to really help the people who have been most hurt by the course of the economy over the last eight years. I wonder. We dont know specifics of what were going to end up with, and theres certainly plenty of fights to come. Theres a possibility that interest will no longer be deductible. Thats an important part of the private equity business. Thats part of some of these plans out here. Does that worry you . I think when they look at it, theyll say people are paying taxes on the interest they receive, so its not that deductible interest doesnt generate tax info, because when the people lend the money or receive it are paying taxes on that, so i think its not clear to me that makes sense to have that be deductible. I assume youd be opposed to that. Its an important part of your business. Right, but as we look at the big picture, i think what many of us are seeing is the opportunity to put in place a set of policies that can be embraced by democrats and republicans that are really focused on the ability to get this country moving again, and what we need to do is think out of the box. I think thats another signal that we got from this election, which there is a rejection of business as usual. Out of the box would be what . Out of the box would be significant tax implication. Significant deregulation while still maintaining the appropriate control to avoid the excesses that we saw back in the middle part of the last decade, but to allow business to grow with a real emphasis on providing jobs for many of the people that cant find them today and the appropriate level of training for many others so we have people that can fill jobs that may have higher technical requirements that currently we dont have. Which is a key point. You mention jobs and that is a focus of the Incoming Administration, as it is with every administration. The president elect has been tweeting about this. I wonder in private equity where often times a company is required and costs are cut, efficiency is introduced and that can often result in job losses. Is that another concern for you . Seems job losses may not be allowed to do that anymore. With the purposes of growth and one of the things weve seen is theres a role for government, appropriate role for government, and its not to micromanage businesses in that way. Now, i think the signal that the president elect has sent is that if we put in place a set of policies that allow business to participate in the United States with lower costs, so lower costs of taxes and regulation, you can pay wage rates higher. Is that a slippery slope . I think the key part is to put in place a set of policies that encourage companies to participate and make it attractive for them to be in the United States. We have a great work force, we have a great entrepreneurial climate and environment and, therefore, i think its a good place to be, but the burden that Companies Face often is not the employee wage rate solely, its actually the very high, highest in the world about, tax rates. Its a Regulatory Burden thats grown exponentially over the course of the last eight years. So if we change those things, i think we can pay the wage rates people in this country need to have a strong, vibrant middle class, a vibrant middle class that will demand more goods and services. More growth. I think it all plays together, but we need to make that leap. Again, the leap is that we have big problems and we need big answers to it. That growth is not going to generate massive deficits. Excuse me, the tax cuts. You have to belief in dynamic scoring. Tough believe that what happened in the early 1960s with john f. Kennedy, in the 80s with Ronald Reagan and in the 90s with bill clinton, two of the three democrats, by the way, where there were a set of policies put in place that are not dissimilar with what the Trump Administration or Incoming Administration seem to be proposing. And those policies of tax implication reduction and deregulation have led to Significant Growth in the economy, such as tax receipts actually make up for the change. Real quickly, were out of time. We didnt talk at all about private equity. Youve been so focused on exits as opposed to buying things. Is that the environment well continue in . Its been a great time for exits. Weve been generating a lot for investors. At the same time, we put in place a very Large Organization whose purpose it is to find really interesting deals. They tend to be, i mentioned to you, somewhat smaller than the companies were selling, but were being able to buy those at multiples that really give us the ability to see some multiple expansion, if we can make those businesses grow. So all of our effort is in making them more efficient, making them better competitors, and looking for ways to grow a business so that if you buy it at eight and a half times, someone is willing to pay you 13 times for it. Thats how its supposed to work on paper. As always, appreciate it. Scott sperling. Carl, back to you. Thanks so much. Whether we come back, while amazon tries to get rid of registers with the launch of amazon go, another company is trying to revolutionize them. Details on that coming up. Dow is up 73. Rick santelli, what are you watching today . Well, im watching the strength in the euro versus dollar. Thats interesting post renzi referendum, but im also looking at the check engine light on the economy. Its flashing. Its actually maybe going off. So were going to do a compression test. Youll see what i mean after the break. Ive invested a lot in this game and the returns i get out are measured in reps, huddles,bright lights, competition and games played. At Td Ameritrade we believe the best investments are the ones that matter most to you. Coming up today on the halftime report, hunt for stocks that lagged the trump rally. Plus, chief strategist on whether the rally will die or thrive in 2017 once donald trump actually takes office. And why one of our traders just bought a stock up 18 in a month and is very confident that you should too. All top of the hour on the halftime report. Kayla, see you in about 20. Thanks, scott, see you then. Apple confirming for the first time it is, in fact, interested in selfdriving technology. In a newly released letter from apples director of product integrity to the national highway Traffic Safety administration, apple says it is, quote, investing heavily in Machine Learning and automation for many purposes, including transportation. The letter is dated november 22nd and was just one of more than 1,000 sent to the agency by Companies Like alphabet and General Motors as it considers new regulations for driverless vehicles. Its been a poorly kept secret apple has been interested in this industry for some time, but what do you make of the fact apple is actually laying it out there, at least to regulators, and do you think its just a Software Component and not necessarily building the car itself . Im not sure apple knows that at this point. You always have to be careful about reading too much into these tea leaves from apple. I remember when we were speculating about the iphone in early mid 2000s and people had the mock ups of what it was going to look like, what the keyboard, physical keyboard, was going to look like, how there would be a scroll wheel like the ipod. None of that came to pass. Part of apples process has been trying out different versions and prototypes. I imagine they are looking at building a car, not building a car, and we might not know until just before, but this is an important step. Apple is very gingerly approaching areas that require regulation. They dont like to go into those areas. They like free access, but if they do cars, not an option. Going into an Environment Regulation appears to be not such a big deal. Well find out how much lobbying power theyll need. Meanwhile, lets get to chicago and Rick Santelli and the santelli exchange. Rick . Thank you, carl. A lot going on in the marketplace. Lets start with something simple. We had one data point today of note and that was the ism november for nonmanufacture. I want to draw a note that 57. 2 read was the best of the year and indeed the best going back to october of 2015. We want to Pay Attention as we assess a baseline Economic Activity before, of course, the president elect is sworn in and brings fiscal gasoline to the equation. Also renzi referendum. Weve talked many times on the euro versus the dollar. Lets look at a chart of how it behaved. Notice what the low is. Cant make this stuff up. 95sorry, 105. 06. Lets go to the chart weve used dozens of times. That chart clearly shows 105 is a very key level. The fact it held and had a big reversal might be a nice window for the fed to take advantage of as they are always fearful of rate rise with respect to the exports and multinationals. Finally, you know, it was last week when we talked about the yield curve and how it may be steeper, how that is the fear trade and you can steepen or flatten whether the rates go up or down. Were going to follow up on that. First of all, remember when you were a kid and you all grabbed hands, six, seven, eight people on ice skates . Well, who had the wildest ride . It was the person on the end, the whip effect, okay, thats kind of like duration sensitivity in the long end, whole lot more than the short end. Why is this important . Weve also talked about how things like fed policy, quantitative easing, securities and storage, all of that has made the best, the best fixed Income Securities very tough to find in terms of good collateral. Well, insurance companies, pension funds, what did they have to do to make up for that . Thats called compression. When you have a check engine light on, many times one of the areas you check is the cylinder compression to see the health of the engine. Its exactly the opposite now. Whats going on now is check engine light is flickering, maybe things are getting better. This compression could come and give more fuel to the rapid increase possibilities of rates, and, hence, maybe a steeper yield curve. Why . Because if youre an insurance company, you need x amount of money, you buy more security. And that compression as it unravels as securities go up, maybe something to pay very close attention to. Kayla, john, carl, back to you. All right, thank you, rick. And still to come, how one company is trying to revolutionize the cash register, even as amazon is trying to kill it off. Well be right back. Is it a force of nature . Or a sales event . The season of audi sales event is here. Audi will cover your first months lease payment on select models during the season of audi sales event. [and her new business i do, to jeanetgo. Jeanette was excellent at marrying people. But had trouble getting paid. Not a good time, jeanette. Even worse. Now im uncomfortable. But heres the good news, jeanette got quickbooks. Send that invoice, jeanette. Looks like they viewed it. And, tada paid twice as fast. Oh, shes an efficient officiant. Way to grow, jeanette. Get paid twice as fast. Visit quickbooksdotcom. Amazon announcing today its launching a physical store concept, amazon go, that wont include cash registers. For more on the future of digital payments, lisa, ceo at rebel systems, which helps Companies Take a different approach to payments. Lisa, welcome. Thank you, great to be here. So tell me how revel is different from square and the vision that you have for smaller businesses to push further into this digital age in checkout. Yeah, sure, so Revel Systems is the next Generation Point of sale, which is really like a mini s. A. P. For your business. We do inventory, purchase orders, tons of analytics and focus on high volume single store locations and chains and franchises. So, given that, is data really the most important part, you know, for you i didnt hear you quite correctly. Is beta . Data oh, data. Yes, yes, absolutely. Data and analytics is really, really key. Again, the way to think about us is, yes, we do the register part of it, but really were like a minis. A. P. For your business. Were the Central Nervous system of the business, so we really run your business. Data, analytics, all of that is super key to what we do where. Whats difference about you to some of your rivals they make most of their money from a percentage fee that they charge on each transaction. You guys only charge for the register itself. Why did you decide to choose that Business Model and will that keep you from having a diversified revenue model Going Forward . Correct, yes. We are a software as a service platform, so we charge a monthly fee, unlike square. Were not a payments company. Were a software as a service company. Again, going back to what you guys were saying about the data, aboutnalytics, thats what we focus on. As far as brand loyalty goes, i know you have some thoughts on whether or not its more powerful for a consumer to shop on a certain website or to actually have to go into a physical store. Whats the difference . Whats the difference between going on a website versus a physical store . Yeah. Theyre all becoming one, right . You see web sites. You see, you know, amazon is opening up brick and mortar shops. You see you know, you see brick and mortars going online, and we are about the omni cello approach. We offer online and in store presence. Its all becoming one. Lisa, do you expect amazon to perhaps get into this space on the logistics end . They have fulfillment by amazon. If theyre moving into store concepts, we know theyre trying to connect with local businesses. They could very easily offer their systems to the business for a fee, for a cut the way they have with logistics. Do you expect that . If so, how does a company like yours react . I think it would be much better off partnering with us. A real true point of sale is very, very difficult to do. Theres a lot that goes into it. Its much better to partner with someone that focuses on it rather than just doing it. Its easy to create a register type product.

I mean, were always ahead of the curve, right . I mean, were two years ahead of everyone else, so be we move faster. We move quicker. Were more agile, and we would actually partner with an amazon of the world rather than compete with them. Its the time of year where everybody is buying stuff, so certainly top of mind. Our thanks, lisa falzone of rebel. When we come back, listen to what googles cofounder and alphabet president sergei brin said about his hopes for the president elect and his relationship with tech. People have to see what the policies of the new administration are. I mean, there have definitely been lots of rumors here and there and shift and so forth. I think well have to see what those policies are. I certainly hope they will be proscience, protechnology, and all of the things that this world has really benefitted from.

Whats the value of a walk in the woods . The value of capital is to create, not just wealth, but things that matter. Morgan stanley thats certainly going to stop ceos who are thinking about doing it give them pause, and i think thats not a bad idea. Youre a free market guy, though. Thats not particularly free market, is it . I am a free market guy, but i think the scales have been shifted too much. I really do. I am a free market guy. I believe in globalization. I dont believe in tariffs for tariffs sake. Thats nelson peltz this morning talking to david faber this morning. A new mystery position, which he would not budge on, but also talking about this line between letting capital flow wherever it wants to without inhibitors or in his view scales that have shifted too much. Whether or not we need a president who is going to use words like retribution and consequences. Interesting to hear his thoughts not only from an investors viewpoint, but someone who has known donald trump. David asked him about their conversations, what they had discussed, where nelson peltzs optimism is coming from, and he seemed optimistic about tax reform. I thought it was interesting. They talked about oreos and the boycott and president elect trump likes oreos now. That scuttle has ended.

Of course, donald trump this morning tweeting if the press would cover me accurately and honorably, i would have far less reason to tweet. Sadly i dont know if that will ever happen. I said on twitter that twitter hopes he keeps tweeting because 16 Million Viewers drive engagement. Zroo theres a missed opportunity in the Business Model. If they had figured out a way to charge for retweets or for emotion generated from tweets, oh, my goodness, they would have a donald trump windfall happening right now. But he has certainly created a situation where his future secretary of state has his own work cut out for them. Yes. Because you dont know when the who the boss is going to talk to. Meanwhile, dow is up 75. In a pretty tight range as you probably know. Oil hanging on to 52. The week is going to get interesting. Not a lot of macrocoming our way, but well get earnings like costco and lulu, restoration hardware, seena later in the week.
