Boise, potato ships . No, computer chips welcome to squawk alley. I am jon fortt with me at post nine, Morgan Brennan and david faber. Carl quintanilla hat morning off. Another busy morning in washington the house of representatives has another big vote on the trade front, expecting to pass usmca, the replacement for nafta, on the heels of approving two articles of impeachment against President Trump last night Kayla Tausche joins us with more reporter the vote will be a stark contrast to the Party Line Vote on impeachment. On the house floor on capitol hill, two hours of debate is beginning that will tee up a vote that white house officials expect to be a landslide bipartisan vote, thanks largely because of provisions folded in to win over House Democrats by Bob Lighthizer last hour on cnbc, the treasury secretary said it should be seen as a win for the economy, not a win for House Speaker nancy pelosi were going to get in excess of 50 basis points of additional growth in gdp as a res
Eamon javers joins us this morning with the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning, carl. Its oddly quiet here at the white house today. We dont see Senior Administration officials out here defending the president or making arguments we dont see any events scheduled with the president publicly, other than his departure later on this afternoon. Nonetheless, the president has been venting some of his frustration that we saw boil over in that letter to nancy pelosi yesterday and continues in tweets this morning the president saying can you believe that ill be impeached today by the radical left do nothing democrats and i did nothing wrong. A terrible thing read the transcripts this should never happen to another president again. Say a prayer and, carl, having covered the last impeachment, so far today this day feels very different than the day on which the president president bill clinton was impeached back in the late 1990s on that day, there was a real sense of uncertainty about wh
The dow is down over 200 points. Of course, pointing to weaker than expected Manufacturing Survey that was definitely the trigger. A lot of the rally since late summer was about a process with industrial activity. I will point out weakness today is not specifically concentrated in manufacturing, it seems like it is an excuse to say we had a nice run, havent had many pull backs. See the nasdaq down 1. 4 not full of manufacturing. It is more of a general cemen sentiment. U. S. Data not improving on time according to the schedule investors were hoping, we have a backoff. I would point out, s p is back to where we traded a week ago friday were skimming a bit off the top of the last part of the rally. Dow is down 220 as we talk now. Meantime, lets turn to the political ad hold outs mark sazuckerberg was reiteratig facebooks policy for now. At the end of the day i just think that in a democracy people should be able to see for themselves what politicians are saying even if the ads contain fa

Good monday morning, welcome to squawk alley, im Carl Quintanilla with Morgan Brennan and jon fortt. We will start with uber. They lose their license to operate in london. Regulators citing a pattern of failures from uber that place passenger safety and security at risk cnbc contributor kara swisher joins us to talk about this. How are you doing. Not too bad we will see how the appeals process goes, the big question is whether other cities follow suit. Its a troublesome thing. Uber has been struggling for a long time in these cities and actually the first thing that the new ceo who came in after Travis Kalanick did was go to londer to assuage the critics there. It was one of his First International trips and it was very soon into his becoming ceo. So its really problematic if they dont get these cities straight, especially london which i think is its biggest revenue generator after the United States. The thing is it comes after a couple of really big stumbles including daras unfortunat
