jeffries has a pretty bullish call of another 15% upside. value has been underperforming for so long. to give a number that is realistic, it may sound ridiculously large, but we think that sectors like global financials are very well positioned. started toy as we've see pressure on interest rates. the fed and other central banks are likely to keep rates from rising too fast. nonetheless, it is the kind of environment where the financials should do well. that, the clean energy or renewable energy sector looks like a winner in the longer term. we could see some short-term volatility because the virus is not yet under control. there may be some measures that need to be taken. longer-term looks pretty good. juliette: we saw the yield on the 10 year treasury note hit its highest level since march, looking like it is going to be sooner rather than later that we get to 1%. question of the day, if we see that 1% treasury yield, how does that affect risk assets? positive foris things like financials. it is a lot less positive for stocks that have lon

joining us now, congressman hakeem jeffries, chairman of the house democratic caucus. congressman, thank you so much for joining us. as you and i know, millions and millions of americans, they are suffering right now but two sticking points on this covid relief bill are liability is one, state and local funding another. how close are you, congressman, to a desperately needed deal? >> it's my understanding that things are moving in the right direction. one, we've got to make sure that any covid-19 package provides immediate and direct and comprehensive assistance to everyday americans including an extension of unemployment insurance, including dealing with food insecurity and the needs of the american people in that area. and of course making sure we can provide assistance to renters who are struggling and homeowners who are struggling and to extend out the moratorium on evictions and foreclosures. with respect to the liability issue the problem is mitch mcconnell wants to layer into this covid-19 relief package a multiyear blanket liability protection provision which w

still, mike jeffries thinks it can double from here if the trends continue. i mean, does -- does this remind you a little bit what have we were talking about yesterday with some of the upgrades, you know, goldman's call on tez la, that sort of thing. >> it does in terms of what you have to assume. >> no doubt about it, that this company will be getting market share. incredibly friendly, two customers who want a way to buy a used car they only take 1% as revenue, so it seems as if it's just not clear how well it scales they are talking about cash flow margins long term. their target is 8% toss 13%, you know, from minimal, still cash flow negative at the moment so that's if you do have huge market share gains look at ebay at 25%, 30% cash flow margins today. it's about the tolerant shareholder base for a company that's address an enormous end market and how long that patience lasts is real the big story. >> dom, it was fascinating to hear phil tell us yesterday the used car market is so hot right now, there's, for example, some used pickup trucks going for a hi

joining me now is congressman hakeem jeffries of new york, chairman of the democratic caucus and a member of the judiciary and budget committees. thank you for being with us, congressman. >> good afternoon, reverend sharpton. great to be with you. >> now, i don't have to tell you, congressman, that many of us continue to harbor historical distrust of mass medicine, certainly mass medicine in concert with the federal government. but then this week there was this story i mentioned at the top. yahoo news obtained an internal update from the cdc, yet to be publicized, saying what we've all known for years, that black americans bear a disproportionate burden of covid-19 infections. the report going on to cite systemic racism as an explicit cause of that disparity. and then our own nbc reporting citing polling from the kaiser family foundation and the undefeated magazine found that only half of black americans surveyed would take the vaccine once available. now, how does the congressional black caucus of which you're a leading member attack these kinds of unique obstacles in the community? >> w

for an update on where things stand in-n-onow, i'm joined by jeffries of new york, the chair of the house democratic caucus. welcome to the show. you got the two-thirds majority, you got the 2k checks passed in the house. it has no real chance in the republican-led senate, does it? >> if you take republicans at their word, and for the last four years, mitch mcconnell and senate republicans have effectively behaved as wholly owned subsidiaries of donald trump and the trump administration, that's why they passed the gop tax scam where 83% of the benefits went to the wealthiest 1%. if donald trump could convince them to waste $2 trillion on behalf of the wealthy, the well off, and the well connected, perhaps on his way out the door he can convince mitch mcconnell to do the right thing by the american people and pass the cash act. >> we can only hope and pray. senator bernie sanders is saying today he plans to filibuster the senate's override of trump's veto on the defense bill to try and force mitch mcconnell and senate republicans to hold a vote on the $2,000 direct checks in the senate. he

in fact the movies are still very entertaining, and one of the things, again, that herb jeffries, he was a matinee idol, and you see chase scenes and fights and things like that, and a little romance, et cetera, and so he was basically an icon. one of the things that came up, and i was just talking to somebody a few minutes ago and i thought i would mention this story as part of it, herb jeffries, he lived a long life and died not too long ago. he tells a story -- he told a story about seeing whites and blacks playing, and the black boy was crying. why are you crying? yeah, they are my friends but they won't me play cowboys because there are no black cowboys, and that was his inspiration of doing these movies with black cowboys. oh, you could get some of these movies. yeah, still available today. you can. now, in reality black cowboys played an important role in the west, and some left some records. for example, there was a black cowboy by the name of sam jones washington sz. he was one of the black cowboys was that introduced, and in the late 1930s the administration went out with a

we had congressman jeffries on "politicsnation" last night and he had a lot of criticism for the 106 house republicans who signed on that lawsuit from texas to flip the election for president trump. you are the house majority whip. these are your colleagues. you have to govern with these people moving forward. we often talk about what leaders can do to bridge divides but what can you or president-elect joe biden and democrats do when reality is negotiable to these people? >> well, you know, that's one of the most disappointing things i've had since i've been in congress. you know, my parents were republica republicans. it was a party of dignity. what you got now is a lessening of dignity in the political process to see all of the republicans in the south carolina delegation sign on to that, what they're asking is for the u.s. supreme court to install a dictator. that's what they're asking. we have had an election. more than 7 million votes. joe biden got more than trump. 7 million. in any other country, it would be a landslide. for these people to fly in the face of that especially w

jeffries is bullish on this. we have deutsche bank climbing with sovereign yields back up. it is likely the u.k. is going to approve astrazeneca vaccine this week. also slightly higher. when you put that together with the vaccine, that creates an airline start going higher. thehe other hand, we have internet related company, down 3.5%. that could have to do with the fact the vaccine optimism that may be those businesses not do well. we have commerzbank unchanged. it had been lower after they boosted their restructuring provisioning. you also have stanton down. as for fx, a mixed bag. the bloomberg dollar index earlier down. now up slightly. maybe a recovery for the dollar. the turkish lira is the big winner against the dollar. up for a fourth day. they have boosted rates by more than expected. the euro against the pound is winning so that post-brexit deal last week is not carrying through for euro. the euro is up against the dollar today. really mixed moves around the euro and currencies overall. alix: thanks. let's pick up on that exit trade deal. the european parliament m

jeffries turning bullish on their view that u.k. equities heading into 2021, saying in dollar terms it could be one of the best performing markets. a lot of the uncertainty removed and we will see the vaccine rollout. a recovery in dividends plus a strong pound would make the pound the most income growth next year. trade should be good for the u.k. transport sector and a vaccine rollout will be good for financials. ubs are quite positive here. they have lifted their forecast for the ftse 100 heading into next year. 7002 hundred, that is an 8% upside from current level. they are also expecting a 32% gain. some of their stocks are those that have underperformed. the likes of sainsbury's and lloyd's banking. they predict sterling will have a good year with a forecast of $1.44 by the end of next year, an equity return for everybody who is an investor. juliette saly in singapore. thank you. ubs say one dollar 40 four cents. morgan stanley warned us your run is done on the pound. where do you stand? the deal is done. is it enough to take

and then at jeffries, he says the rise in permanent layoffs and the decline in labor force participation suggests that not all of the weakness will be reversed easily. claims were up in home based data on workers showed declines, especially in retail so here's where the jobs were and where they weren't transportation warehousing, that's the new retail, folks a big gain in curriers and mess efrpgers goods producing doing well with manufacturing and construction both up. and temporary help, maybe that's a good sign in this report but retail has a very high bar from seasonal adjustmentes it could not get over it and government down 99,000 local workers suffering as well as census workers taking off the pay rolls. four million people left the workforce since february they dropped out and there remains 9.4 million fewer jobs from february and the process of putting them back to work slowed. looks like we manage to get worst of both worlds a spreading virus and a weakening economy together >> this is a tough one for incoming administration to deal with steve liesman, thank you and coming up, t

jeremiah jeffries is a first grade teacher who is leading this motion. they didn't like the way he treated native americans. for james munro, we don't win the war of 1812, thomas jefferson, he had but he also is indispensable in the formation and continuation of our country. it's a little scary to think. also, we understand, too, we have a brand-new squad member in congress. he says, i believe our current system of capitalism is slavery by another name. if that's congressman bowman. if that's the next generation of lawmakers judging our economic system and our country. your final thoughts? >> mr. bowman should realize that until the covid lockdown, we had the lowest african-american unemployment east diamond history, 5.5. we had a median family income near $50,000 per year. blacks in america were wealthier than any of those of african descent anywhere in the world. he's got to give us the ultimate paradigm. is it north korea, is that the socialist utopia of venezuela? is it the e.u. that has $25,000 less per capita income than we do? you can't find anyth

don't talk about the stock very much anymore target raised at jeffries. >> calls in this one also, scott. stock and calls. i like the upside of netflix, and i think the offerings just keep getting better really than just until theaters reopen, scott, this is the play. >> give me a name for a final trade while you're at it, please. >> plug, p-l-u-g >> good call. >> sirrate >> godaddy, hitting new highs and growth at a reasonable price. >> we'll continue to follow that having a decent day. >> all right josh brown >> paypal, stay long, going higher. >> still likes the payments name. >> stephanie link? >> xpo the spinout news last week of a logistics business is absolutely positive, multiple enhancing and shareholder value creating so i like that stock a lot. >> so does sirrate i don't know why he's not shaking his head yes he owns it, too. >> all right, guys. >> i like that and paypal. >> thank you, guys "the exchange" is now. >> thank you, scott and welcome to "the exchange" everybody. i'm kelly evans. ahead, it's v-day, pfizer's covid vaccinations begin albeit in the uk. are are the vacci

there's jeffries in the leadership rank and some discuss him potentially being next up, he's i believe 50 years old. i think the battle aoc was in this past week with congress women rice battling behind the scenes for position on the policy committee is a perfect example of some of the issues going on with house democrats. climate change and some policy issues related to climate change is the number one thing that courtes cares about and she's one of the biggest names in the democratic party and the fact it's not represents is problematic and highlights the schism where the party is going and who leads the party right now. >> 30 seconds where it goes from here particularly if republican maintain control of the senate what kind of congress will biden be dealing with in 2021, briefly, 30 seconds each, chris. >> i think it's likely republicans win one senate maybe both seats maybe georgia, means he gets a ham strong congress. one thing republicans are good at in the senate is opposing things, not much to enact. in the house i think it will be very interesting. i think it will be sort of h

suzanne, i heard representative hakeem jeffries say yesterday that they are willing to stay in d.c. to get this done. what are the sticking points that they're trying to reconcile? >> reporter: good morning, christi. it was high drama. it was six hours before that government deadline before the government was going to shut down. they decided a two-day extension. one of the moments of drama happened when they were trying to pass this thing. they needed two-thirds to pass in the house. and all 100 senators not to object. and a quick vote. it was senator bernie sanders who did object briefly to make a point before he with drew his vote. the point being that $600 is not nearly enough. he wants that to be bumped up to $1200. he and senator josh hawley are in agreement there and wants make sure it gets to that. so look for that point. the other one is a group of bipartisan lawmakers both on the house and senate side who initially came up with this relief plan, in the beginning. at least the framework for it. and that is this federal reserve authority. what will kind of authority it has mo

this is hakeem jeffries from yesterday. >> i believe speaker pelosi has addressed this issue. she has full confidence of representative swalwell and i have confidence in representative swalwell. i serve with him on the judiciary committee as well. he has been a tremendous member. >> harris: your response? >> i'm glad all the democrats have confidence with each other without facts to back this up. and joe biden can have all the confidence he wants in hunter biden and nancy pelosi can have all the confidence she wants in eric swalwell. the american people have no reason to have confidence in them unless they explain what happened and unless they have a public airing of exactly what happened in the circumstances. that is what is called for here. >> harris: are you going down to georgia? are you concerned that all of this goes away investigations if the republicans are not in the majority in the senate? >> i have been to georgia multiple times this year to campaign for david perdue and kelly loeffler and i hope to be back before january 5. it's vital we win the senate races. not o

jeffries putting out a note yesterday highlighting the fact that hotels are going to be probably the last bit of the puzzle to come back in terms of the leisure sector. so you've got to be thinking about the trajectory for airbnb being completely different here. alix: you're still looking at potentially a valuation of about $42 billion, and you have to also then consider if you are buying recovery stocks, the airlines, cruise lines, hotels like you just mentioned, that has been a hot trade in the last few weeks. if you have a strong pricing for an airbnb and a strong showing, does that negate those other bets to some extent? guy: it is going to be fascinating to see how the market takes these two ipos. to now head over to bloomberg's emily chang in san francisco with doordash ceo tony xu. emily: tony, just getting the word that your shares indicated sharece at $125 to $130 a , even higher than the pricing yesterday. i just want to give you a moment to react to that. did you ever think that doordash would be a $46 billion company? emily: certainly when i was delivering hummus from my

>> well, later this morning, chairman jeffries will convene the democratic caucus, and the speaker will give us an update. so, we're looking forward to those discussions in a few hoyers. but we are optimistic. we know that this is needed. we know that we have a limited window here. we want to make sure that we're providing relief to our communities, but we understand this is a negotiation. but our communities are struggling. our communities are hurting, and they deserve, for us, to do our job. and to make sure that we're providing the relief that's possible in this environment. >> yeah. that message of get the job done seems to be coming from people across the country and of all partisan stripes. so, certainly hear you on that. while i have you here, i want to ask you about what it looks like next year because the reality i house have an incredibly narrow majority, and it's going to fall to you in part to convince your colleagues to stay united to be on board together because you're only going to be able to lose a handful of votes. how do you think you're going to navigate that? what is

hakeem jeffries jus does have a leadership position and could come to power. to aoc's point about lurching further to the right, that's a good thing, the center is what wins election. joe biden ran as a moderate and joe biden won is a moderate. i don't think any other candidate could have pulled off this victory against president trump. >> dana: that's interesting. what about the midterm elections? usually going against the incumbent president. we're looking at 2022, with democrats having such a slim majority, do you think the republicans take over in 20202? >> absolutely. it's going to be a banner year for republicans. the number of seats republicans almost won. the first presidential race, off presidential race. the party not in the white house picks up a lot of seats. if you're betting, the odds that kevin mccarthy will be the next speaker in 2023 is a really good bet. >> dana: yeah, i wonder too. jessica, how are democrats preparing for what they know is going to be a very tough first midterm for the biden team? >> they are fighting it out. there was an in

hakeem jeffries is in the leadership ranks and some people have discussed him potentially being next up. he is i believe 50 years old. but the battle that aoc was in this past week with congresswoman rice battling behind the scenes for a position on the policy committee actually is a really perfect example of some of the issues going on with house democrats. climate change and some of these issues, policy issues related to climate change is the number one thing that rep aoc cares about and joined the committee in order to lobby for those things. she's one of the biggest names in the democratic party. so the fact that that's not represented in the leadership positions is really problematic and sort of highlights between parties doing and who leads the party right now. >> let me give you both 30 quick seconds in terms of where this goes from here, particularly if republicans win either one of two senate runoff races in georgia and maintain control of the senate. what kind of congress do you think president biden will be dealing with in 2021? chris and then michael. chris? >> yeah. i th

religion the broader question of african-american politics and because i worked with cornell west and jeffries doubt and they are philosophers although he is a religious historian. myself bridging the two areas to think about philosophical questions historically and politics with that contextualization so that was my point of interest so my first book was about the exodus story early 19th century and the short introduction in the uncommon place. these try to give some indication to how i think about african-american religion from a pragmatic and historicalo perspective. it has everything to do with my training and everything to do with the tradition out of which iy come after american protestants and specifically the understanding of american lives. host: is christianity important to you personally>>? >> sure. absolutely. i was born and raised on the coast i grew up in the archdiocese and went to see peter's so i grew up in the justified tradition and am is black church for the most part and then going to morehouse and with those extraordinary pictures and then trying to find my own way in ter
