"The thousands caught in that Southwest Airlines major holiday meltdown back in December, and they say, despite promises of a refund from the airline getting reimbursed, has been in far from an easy process. Since last December Mark and Stephanie Hesse have been trying to get a full refund from the money they spent on their flight to get to cancun for a family holiday that never happened, but receiving the final 1500 they say has been a struggle. It's always the same response that I'm really sorry that this happened to you. This is the best that we can do. The problem is they use southwest gift cards they say to pay and the airline told them that means they can only get travel credit and vouchers, not money back. They spent hours on the phone with Southwest. You just almost want to say, forget it. The money's gone, but in our case, we can't. WTO reached out to southwest and was told the airline is taking steps to make it right with the customers. And since then, the Hesse say they've been told a check is on the way.

We've got a heads up now for Alaska airlines flyers. The airline is doing away with boarding past kiosks at the airport. That means the travelers will now have to pull up their boarding pass on your smartphone or you could print it out at home or in the office before heading to the airport. But if you're in a pinch, airline employees can still print out your boarding pass, if you show up at the airport without one. Alaska airlines executives say the goal of all this is to reduce congestion at the checking areas and get passengers to the security checkpoints faster. Now ten 55.

Southwest grounds flights nationwide due to technical issues
"Southwest Airlines grounds flights nationwide due to technical issues. Southwest plains were stopped from taking off for what the airline called an intermittent technology issue causing more than 1500 flight delays just four months after the carrier suffered a meltdown over the Christmas travel rush. Southwest and the FAA said by late morning on the east coast that the pause had been lifted. The Dallas based airline blamed the issue on a vendor supplied firewall going down and a connection to some operational data was unexpectedly lost. By late morning on the east coast, southwest accounted for well over half of all delays nationwide, but the airline had canceled fewer than a dozen flights according to flight aware. I'm Julie Walker

Four 41 now on WTO, metro trains have been under manual control for more than a decade after the deadly crash of 2009, the biggest crash ever, but now metro is making its final preps to bring automatic train operations back NBC four transportation reporter Adam tuss joined us earlier to talk about when we could see it happening. What metro would like to do is switch the ATO system back on on the red line first and that'll be in the summer sometime in the summer. They can't say specifically yet. And then all of the lines by the end of this year and when you take a look at the operational efficiencies that something like this could have, it really could be big business for the metro system getting riders to come back because for so long now we've been hearing from riders who say, look, it's taking too long in between trains, the wait times are too long. Something like this, if you equate it to automated driving system in your car, it can cut down on seconds, which then leads to minutes and then leads to a better ride for everybody. 9 people died in that 2009 crash on the red line, as we mentioned, it was the deadliest in metro's history.

What Is a "Christian Nationalist?"
"They should fire the writers of this article if they have any honor at brookings. But hey, who fires anybody unless the person comes out with a conservative sentiment. Anybody at Southwest Airlines fired? I had heard it I haven't heard about it. How, so now we've moved to bias, they didn't cover any data on violence against Asians. No data. A recent study finds that, in fact, Christian nationalism is the strongest predictor of xenophobic views of COVID-19, what does that have to do with anything? If you understand the disregard for honesty in this article, Christian nationalism is the greatest predictor of xenophobic views of COVID-19. First of all, they made up Christian nationalism. This is invented at The New York Times. I know more Christians than almost any Christian does. I'm a Jew, and I am deeply involved in Christian life. As I am in Jewish life. I never heard of Christian nationalism until The New York Times wrote about it. What does it even mean? Somebody who says this is a Christian nation is a Christian nationalist. You may agree or disagree, but I don't even know what that means. Does it mean they want to throw non Christians out of the country, does it mean that they want to impose Protestant theology on people? If you don't believe in Jesus Christ, you can't have a job in the government. What does it mean? The greatest advocates of separation of church and state have been protestants, just for the record.

Did the Lockdowns Cause a Shift Towards Conservatives?
"I'd like to, I'd like to follow up on this. I haven't read any commentators. Have you who have pointed to the lockdowns as a shift to conservatism among Americans? I think that a lot of people thought to realize that every left wing group, especially teachers in medicine, are corrupt, are morally corrupt. So when you start to think that you start to think, wow, maybe conservatives have been telling the truth and the left has been hurting people. And lying. What teachers did is so inexcusable, but their excused, you know who might compare the teachers unions to Southwest Airlines. They do all this damage and nobody gets fired.

Why the Release of Trump Tax Records Is Bad for Democrats

Last thing, legal experts estimate Hunter Biden's legal defense cost a hundred grand. Was this a mistake, Chris, to go after Trump's taxes? I think so, absolutely. Because you mentioned the tit for tat. What this does is it sets a precedent that basically any elected officials taxes could be released and presumably even in any American citizens tax forms can be released to the public. Bad move, Donald Trump said, you know, be careful what you wish for. Sometimes you get it and sometimes you're going to result getting it because that can be used back against the Democrats as well.

Judge Rules Illinois' Elimination of Cash Bail Unconstitutional
"A judge rules that the judge rules Illinois elimination of cash bail is unconstitutional. And I think this is very important, obviously. Here's the deal. A lot of people out there are suffering from crime, we have no idea about a lot of people in these blue cities. Democrats want to be safe to liberals do anyway. It is the leftist that are wreaking havoc on these blue cities. Democrats, if you happen to be in a blue city, I hope that you will start voting differently and recognize that voting for Democrats today, especially these leftists or these progressives are very, very dangerous. So this was from town hall hat tip forgot man cashless bail has ravaged Law & Order and states obviously like New York. Now, Illinois has taken a stance. So they are, they were set to implement a system, the no cash bail system, as of January 1, but on Wednesday, however, just days before the provision of the safety act, it's called was set to take effect a judge ruled that the cashless bail portion was unconstitutional. Thank God. The ruling came from the 21st circuit court judge, a judge by the name of Thomas conning connington as a report from NBC Chicago highlighted and I quote cunnington's ruling held that the safety act violated the separation of powers clause, the victim rights act and unconstitutionally amended article one section 9 of the state's constitution, which codified cash bail in the state. So cunnington root that since cash Bill is specifically mentioned in the state constitution, it would be needed to put before voters thank God and would therefore require an amendment to remove it.

"Right, you're right. What can I say? What do you do? What was the guy? Thank you. Thank you for having me what you guys are talking about. That's right. All right. Can we talk to you? So Tesla, the number one gainer in the NASDAQ 100, the number two gainer in the S&P 500 today, up more than 8% in today's session. Yeah. Pretty amazing. It's at a two day bounce. So investors, as you talk about remain, some of the investors coming in. I mean, at some point, Kathy, would we know has been buying in a big way? I do wonder at some point if you believe fundamentally still in this story. Do you say, man, this stock is on sale in a big way? Well, obviously, yeah, I mean, look, I mean, we've talked a lot about the big shake out that we had earlier. You and I, but on Bloomberg television. And I don't talk off air. Right, and this idea, no, never. But the idea here, though, that there are obviously a lot of Tesla Facebook and not just faithful to test really faithful in that growth story about EVs about batteries. And if you believed in that growth story a year ago, why wouldn't you believe it now? Because now you have Ford with the F one 50 lightning, you have the Ford Mustang, Mach-E that's able to be shipped now. You have Volkswagen working a lot of competition. I think that's the big story now. And maybe people are thinking about it. Less of an energy company. You know what pains me to give any compliment to Elon Musk. But I do think that one distinction and it's something that I think Adam Jones a lot of folks bring up is really the battery technology and some of the software gains that we made there that are really the differentiator between that and the F one 50 between that and G on his vehicles as well. Let me just say something about electric vehicles. Yes, more competitions coming up, but we had a Bloomberg story earlier in the year that talked about the tipping point when it comes to EVs and once 5% of new car sales go fully electric and they did some analysis of 19 countries. Yeah. You know, we've seen a lot of countries do that EV pivot. So that even if there's more competition for Elon Musk, there's still going to be more people increasingly buying more to cover. But did you see, I think it was earlier this week or maybe last week when the head of Toyota came out. And people with that specifically why they're so behind. And he writes, he kind of made the point here. They're more interested in hybrids. They're more interested in hydrogen, and he made the point that the future of alternative fuel vehicles, non combustion vehicles, actually isn't going to be electric. And a big part of the reason is he said his sourcing the materials. Look, he said. Your line got out there out in front of people. That's why he's able to do a lot of these things with the lithium, the cobalt and things like that. But Toyota sees a writing on the wall. They can't get that at scale. And maybe they have to find another energy. He sounds like a point. Might as well buy a car until it's hydrogen or hydrocele. No, it's not. Yeah, I mean, he thinks that makes much more sense in terms of the environment. I mean, there's a lot of things that was right. Don't tell him he's right. I'm just going to hear forever and ever. All right. You will always write. Southwest Airlines also up almost 4%, man. We've been talking about this all week. We know we know the story. You know this story, but nonetheless investors coming in. And it looks like Southwest has finally coming out and saying that we think we're going to have some normal flying schedules tomorrow. So that should be a good thing. Cross our fingers for everybody trying to get somewhere. Netflix, this was also top among the major averages, former bear turning to a bull. I always love this. Ken Leon coming in from CFR a upgrading raised to buy from self talk about a swing though. It's not like getting lukewarm about it. He talks about their best in class platform. I mean, price target raised from three ten, raised two, three, ten from two 25. Would the stock close at? Two 91, so a little bit of room for a movement. And then China names. I continue to watch them. I'm going to watch them. I'm going to talk about them a lot in 2023. This index has been on a tear from late October up another 2.7% today. All right. Tim, do you have any decline? I do. Yeah, I should have some decliners. Traditional names that have actually done pretty well this year, including those names like Campbell's soup and Cardinal Health, getting a little bit of selling today, down 6 tenths of 1% on Campbell's soup. Actually at a 52 week high yesterday, shares up 30% so far this year. Cardinal Health shares up 50% this year down 1% today. This is, I think, one of the most interesting decliners of the day. It's calming foods, the biggest maker of shelled eggs here in the United States, biggest seller of shelled eggs here in the U.S. down 14.5% its worst day since 2008. The company reported earnings yesterday. Said that they missed expectations analysts essentially said that because feed cost inflation could be hitting the bottom line and also a surge in egg prices could have peaked. So we could start to see those egg prices come down, not good for the company's bottom line. That thanks to a lack of late. Yeah, micro strategy down 1%. I had to throw that one in there. All right, well that's the read here on some of the individual movers on the day. The broader equity markets as well. We should point out the activity in the debt markets as relatively subdued. He did see some buying here with yields pushing down by about two to 5 basis points. Interesting that once again we're seeing the bond and stock market kind of correlate and that's going to be a big that was a big part of the story early in the year before that finally splitting a lot of people think that could be a big part of the story going forward.

UK prime minister bracing for what he calls massive disruption as worker strikes grow.

Southwest Airlines continues to have major problems, has canceled already for tomorrow more than 50% of its flights and private investors hammered by the FDX debacle are demanding they be paid back before any corporate money if any are handed back. In San Francisco, I'm at Baxter, this is Bloomberg. All right, guys. All right, thanks very much. Had 24 minutes past the hour, has Linda amen and me, Brian Curtis. And this is Bloomberg daybreak Asia, our next guest is Jin Shan Hong, Bloomberg, Asia consumer, and healthcare reporter. We wanted to talk a little bit more about Hong Kong and China. More or less scrapping essentially most of their COVID curbs, Jin Shan, thanks very much for being with us. So we just saw this note from Citigroup saying that a lot of the China border reopening news is only really neutral now for airline and airport stocks and part of the reason for that is that a lot of this is discounted. So are we thinking that this will have a huge impact or that it will be incremental in nature. I think according to a lot of information that we're seeing about flight, it's quite interesting that airlines are taking quite a cautious approach even though there's a huge booming demand from China to get out of the country after being locked down inside the borders for three years. So what we see is that schedule flies from China from January to March, is only up below 3% in terms of weak and weak changes, according to data from Syria. And that's quite interesting compared to what we would have thought now that a lot of travelers wanted to have the chance of leaving the country. And then on the other hand, we are also seeing a lot of flight demand to go across from Hong Kong to China to enter the border right before the lunar new year. So that side we see travel search demand go up like 500% and that's also like a lot of discussions about how China will put a quota at the very initial stage. So it seems like they are still a lot of uncertainties when the two sides in terms of that Hong Kong ML and China are just freshly opening up. Well, the thing is jinjian, I mean, even as China is reopening in scrapping all this restrictions, the rest of the world are putting in vaccination checks, testing for travelers, you got to wonder how that will impact demand and interest in traveling. Actually, for from the travelers in China side, maybe those requirements wouldn't be so strange because there have been tested again and again for such a long time and actually what other countries put in place in terms of having a test before you travel is the same of what China will impose on foreign travelers coming into China because they will also need 48 hour testing requirement before departing for their flight. So it seems that that will be a new normal in terms of the first opening stage for China and in terms of Hong Kong is quite a different because Hong Kong used to be able to connect with everywhere everywhere else in the world other than men in China. But now with this huge outbreak, the new imposed rules is also going to affect how Hong Kong travelers will be able to access the rest of the world. For example, like Japan. I'm not curious at all about whether or not Chinese people would travel once they are given freedom. But what I am curious about is because of the negative news flow on this for such a long period of time. Will foreigners come to China? Yeah, that's a really good question, but we also know there's a lot of panda demand for business travelers to at least go to see their factories to visit their clients. That will happen a lot from the clients and a lot of factory a company owners in Hong Kong, at least to visit the other side of the border. But in terms of the rest of the world, I think people will still take away and see approach to see how China's latest outbreak is going to go because right now is really the biggest outbreak the world has seen like ever since the beginning of COVID. One of the things I guess that's really important to investors is Hong Kong's border with the mainland. I mean, we're getting reports that that will reopen on January 10th at the earliest with priority for travel, given to those of business and family needs. What else do we know? Quickly, Jim Sean. Oh, yeah. So that's a lot of news coming out from local media, the government is still working with the central government in Beijing to decide the quota. So it could be like at the beginning, you will be limited to 30,000 per day, and that will still be quite some hustle because you need to fight for that ticket. Thanks very much. Excellent information as usual, Jin Shan Hong, Bloomberg, Asia, consumer, and healthcare report of the time now 28 minutes past the hour

"Where you need to go, or you're one of our heroic employees caught up in a massive effort to stabilize the airline. To know is that we're doing everything. We can to return to a normal operation. And please also hear that I'm truly sorry. Well, there he is, the CEO of Southwest Airlines commenting in a video a public video yesterday, Southwest has already scrapped 60% of its flights today. It's expecting to do the same tomorrow. Here's what cowan analysts to lean Becker had to say about the airline issues. Everybody else is pretty much within what I would call their normal course of doing business. The cancellations are relatively low, southwest accounted for more than 80% of all cancels yesterday. And for them, they're just, they're just behind the curve here. And they probably won't get caught up until the weekend at the earliest. Well, and we have seen modeling from analysts over at city that talks about a three to 5% earnings hit for the fourth quarter, but I'm wondering what kind of signal this is on the longer term operational health of Southwest. Beyond just what is ongoing currently. If something like this could happen at this scale for this long, does that just mean they are ill equipped to handle weather events like this? I mean, what went wrong here that could go wrong again? Yeah, they had a confluence of a lot of events. So you had the weather and it moved across country, hitting Denver and Chicago, particularly hard. United is in both of those locations didn't get hit quite as hard, but still impacted. For Southwest though, I think at midway there was a lack of de icing fluid, then they had an issue in San Diego with fog. They had ice in Dallas. So everywhere they were, they had weather. And the worst of it is their systems are just not equipped to handle it. Historically, southwest underinvested in IT in technology and this is has come back in the past to hurt them. They were investing aggressively this year. That was one of the catalysts we thought for the shares. Later this year is the new scheduling system for employees was coming up. But one of the issues we saw yesterday was an aircraft with a bunch of flight attendants dead heading to a city. But the crew working the plane was short a flight attendant, and according to the pilot on board, any one of those other flight attendants offered to work. The flight that they couldn't get through to scheduling to say, hey, we're here. We'll take it. And so southwest canceled the flight. They're doing what should be automated by hand. When you have 6000 flights a day and you probably shouldn't, you should probably have two thirds of that. It's not that I don't have enough people. It's that they don't know where their people are. Hello and Becker there over at cowan and making a very present comment there about not knowing where other people are as Southwest still tries to dig out from all of the issues and we did hear a little bit earlier from the CEO of Southwest in a video and then we're learning that there was a statement to employees where he did say that he is accountable and he's doing everything in his power to make things right as they try to recover from this. I want to bring Madison mills into the conversation right now our special correspondent with everything airlines right now and there's a great story on the terminal today talking about their IT issues. Helane Becker I think kind of hit on a topic though here. And we also have some quotes from people in that story from some of the unions. Why don't you say this is actually not so much about IT specifically that there are broader issues with that point to point system that this company is straight away from that might have been more the cause of what happened over the last few days. It's an excellent point Roman. I'm so glad you bring this up because decades ago, all the other airlines seem to get on board with this hub and spoke system that you've all heard about as we've covered this story. JetBlue, for example, has these big hubs in an area like San Francisco and their planes go out from that hub to various cities across the U.S.. Southwest operates on a point to point system. So your plane could be coming from any random city across the country. They call it the Greyhound of the sky for that reason because it just hits so many cities throughout the U.S., which can really help keep costs down, but it's a disaster in some cases, particularly when you have extreme weather events and other factors that you can't anticipate and bake into your procedure. We talk about, I mean, the big headline today was Jordan apologized. The CEO apologizing. I actually went back and there was a great headline on the Bloomberg terminal about a year ago. Southwest CEO apologizes for breakdown. There was a one about a year before that year before that. Of course, Jordan was a CEO then. This is the previous CEOs. But I guess my point is, this has been a recurring issue. Maybe not frequent, but it's certainly not something that's rare. Right, October 2021. We saw this exact same thing. We saw the Valentine's Day crash years before. I mean, this is a tried and true story for Southwest. And pilots, union leaders have been raising the alarm, particularly about the IT and the technology side for years. But this was supposed to be the fun airline. Remember, it was

Why don't they have their own country, and we have our own country. And exactly, and what I just heard from so many people, people just said, yeah, let's do it. And right.

Oil is now on track to outpace copper this year by the largest amount since two thousand two and has topping an index of raw materials by the biggest margin in more than a decade natural. Gas is in so far behind his climbing higher and outpacing other commodities as well why supply shortages. Yeah so you say outpace copper by the largest amount you mean.

Monday and that's after cancelling over eighteen hundred flights over the weekend that's more than twenty eight percent of its overall flights. Over all the cancellations re tavak on travel plans as you can imagine. Southwest blamed the cancellations on several causes including problems with the weather air. Traffic control an inability to get flight crews and planes to where they needed to be. Yeah not dot. Maybe coincidentally but their union was protesting. A rule about a vaccine mandate for their employees just want to let employers decided not to go to work this week and they say it wasn't coordinated event but i flew this weekend and there were no problems on the other airlines and now let's move on amazon amazon. Once again changed its return to office plans. The company now expects that some corporate employees will work remotely for the foreseeable future amazon. Chief executive at andy jesse said in a memo to employees employees that corporate team directors will now decide if staff need to return to work of return to work in the office and just a few months ago amazon said it was delaying its corporate employees returning to the office until at least january third and earlier it had been targeting a return to a return to the office last month so moving target so no no target now disappearing.

Now the operating this quarter it had been looking like operating income was going to be bad revenues growing fantastically but it looked like because of high gas prices operating. You know the high gas prices. You were just mentioning that operating profits. Were just getting squeezed and the demand for new projects. Just wasn't there will. They came out and announced that in fact with k. filing just filed a couple of days ago that in fact the there's a meaningful increase in their outlook for q four and they're increasing their twenty twenty two goals for the entire year and then in fact high gas prices have been really good for them because they kind of operate at a margin where more projects means more prophets and bigger profits. They're operating profit goal. Would one hundred seventy million to three hundred seventy four million in the upcoming quarter and they doubled basically also into next year. They're saying they've got a margin goal of going from billion dollars to a billion one. What's next one hundred million dollars between friends. Well what's interesting about these guys is they say it's sort of an optionality that their industry provides for them that when things are good in that industry with prices. Prophets can be great here a ceo. Wesley edens when the market really moved dramatically. There's lots of different actions. You can take to try to increase your flexibility and move around you know volumes and you know deliveries and whatnot and relatively small movements across the portfolio results in a handful of of cargo moos. They may not sound like a very big time. But then when you get these kind of price movements results in a big big earnings and so the real question i think Remind my answering. The question have is. How likely is it. In the future that there's going to be future shocks in the system and this underinvestment hydrocarbon production. Which i think is actually very systemic issue is one that is going to be persistent and that puts the world on kind of a nice edge and the commodity cycle. And so you're going to get these hundred year floods happening. I believe you know with a much more frequently than every hundred years so interesting. You've got this big discussion about how much natural gas pump when prices are high. Has there been enough. Investment hasn't been too much investment from these guys perspective. There's an underinvestment. And that's going to mean greater price volatility and. That's good for them. Cory what is your next drill down. Took an aspen technology. Aspen technology trades under as e. p. n. shares rose twelve percent today and there is an eighteen percent a year. What's going on with aspen technology. You know the business emerson electric based in saint louis. You're very tunnel. You're actually yeah so these guys have been going into some really interesting acquisitions of late in an includes now aspen technology or more the point. They're they're spinning off two of their emerson. Electric software businesses and paying eleven billion dollars to acquire aspen a form. One big industrials offer company. Which will be called aspen They're combining cy company. They acquire a year ago for about a little less than two billion dollars emerson geological simulation software and aspen. All under one roof. So you're gonna have this. Industrial software company focusing everything from analyzing the results from oil drilling wells to streamlining mining operations to coming up with new ways is really important new ways to make plastic. That don't require the use of natural gas so by spinning off all these businesses emerson's going to have a greater valuation on their software business but will continue to fifty five percent which protects them from a taxable gain on the spinoff but that's software valuations going to be greater than there slow growing industrial business like making pipe wrenches which emerson does and interestingly again. They're looking at the kind of new more modern ways to make things like plastic without having to use natural. Gas here is ceo The aspen ceo antonio peretti now now been technology is incredibly relevant. f- for the power industry and really for the global economy as a whole around electrification. You've probably heard of some of our customers in the chemical space talking about electrical ethylene crackers were basically. They're gonna us guys to fuel the conversion of national or natural gas into into plastics. They're gonna use electricity and we're going to be able to take those capabilities into our customer base and talk to them about optimizing their micro grid and their power sources so very different production process for this company and that's leading.
