But. Initial jobless claims. 9 45, consumer comfort. A lot of home stuff. Here is one for scarlet do you let your voice shop at Abercrombie Fitch . They are too young for that. But now they can go in because the music has been turned down. You have to wear a shirt now . Thesgate they did hunger games franchise. Lets do a data check. Bonds, front and center. The 10 year yield is a recurring theme. Meeting is june 5. Vix, better than good. 11. 68, showing complacency out there. 30 year bond yield is john dropping. But do you do if you are running a longterm portfolio . Gold continues south. From the bloomberg terminal, a lot of lines. Yield, back german 20 years. Here is the trend. The red line is the trend. These are the standard deviations. This is logarithmic june. Here is draghi. We came back, this is the new rollover. Fivetwo, three, four, standard deviations off a longterm trend. This is game changing. When you are five standard deviations away, that is like 99. 9 of the time you should be above that. It is like George Clooney on er 20 years ago. This is all because of the comment, whatever it takes. It is from the data that reconfirmed this inflation if not deflation across europe. We have to move on we scoured the papers this mornings. To deals. Apple is buying beats. The price tag is 3 billion. That is bigger than the number that was floated around. Billion, which is insignificant. Hashe amount of cash apple what is that in percentage terms . 0007 . Drop in the bucket here. It means the cofounders else, they everyone will join apples senior management. These are guys out of the Music Industry. Theyre buying heritage. He was one of the first people to see itunes. They are buying history. Snoop dogg. O this is working with john munden and Bruce Springsteen john lennon and Bruce Springsteen. They made that sparkle in music. Were going to talk more about this and what apple gets out of this deal later on with david kirkpatrick. It is certainly one to watch. The second story president obama spells out his vision for Foreign Policy. He gave a commencement speech at west point yesterday. It was a rebuttal over his policy. Onsays the u. S. Must lead the world stage, but the military should not be the primary compound. Component. There was no passion, no force. It was here, it was there. In the end, it was all about nothing. Haass will be joining us the next hour. He said he walks the midline. He did not say heres what we need to do, or here is a we should not do. Our last frontpage story a new report says iran stopped u. S. Officials in a threeyear hack. Facebook and social networks to strike up friendships with lawmakers, defense contractors, and even a fourstar general. This comes from a company that would send links and videos that would allow hackers access to email. I dont know why any of us would be surprised by this. Everyone is doing this. Why wouldnt you . The important interview is mr. Snowden as well. You wonder what response you will get from washington on this. Those are the frontpage stories. Our guest host is jonathan golub. Much focus on bond markets. Joins us, senior fellow at the asian society. John, lets start with bonds. How unusual are the yields . First, the story is not a new one. One year ago, they were in the same place. Everybody was convinced that yields would go back to 34 . A lot of this debate, people said this was impossible. Massively pushed against the bond market. I think of David Rosenberg saying no, bonds wrong, stocks right. Tell us why they are so disconnected from the bond market. There is a host of things. Most equity guys look at a yield like this and they say growth is dead. Inflation is dead. I think you have to look at what is in the bond market. You rightly pointed out, it is a lack of european inflation. That is probably the most important story. The ecb may be those important thing. Is the equity market priced to perfection . I dont think so. You have had a good valuation for 624. We are at 15, kind of right in the middle. Have you ever seen this dynamic . Know, and i traded for over 20 years. You were on the Trading Floor when you were 12 . Almost. Botox click then. Thank you, mom, for giving me good genes. Golub, you say that Capital Requirements increase, banks have to hold more paper. They turn to government paper. I think there are a halfdozen things. You have pension plans. Last year, Interest Rates rose. That knocked down my abilities. These plans got in the money. Big mutual fund flow. So, everyone was asking who would be the crazy person who would buy bonds . A lot of folks. Lets bring in jamie as well. What did youch, make of president obamas speech . It was a goldilocks speech. You get overexposed in places and that you roads national power. We will not do too little. The words that he used were indispensable nation. It was uninspiring, but imp ortant. Follow this exciting rhetoric of george w. Bush got us in a lot of trouble. We are now facing major challenges in europe, asia, and the middle east. He was very realistic that we cannot do everything. We have a lot to talk about. Our twitter question of the day haass, is al and qaeda the biggest threat to america . We have already gotten some smart responses on that. Witter. Board, get on tiwtte is al qaeda the biggest threat to america . Lets get you some breaking news. Answer is going to buy Heritage Health care. The price tag is 2. 35 billion. 2. Ridan forg 35 billion. Costco missed analyst estimates. A number of u. S. Retailers suffered in the first art of the year. Samestore sales rose. Microsoft and salesforce. Com have their head in the clouds. They are close to a deal that would allow customers to use salesforce management programs. This is according to people familiar with the talks. That report indicates congress is stepping up its probe into the General Motors recall. They spoke to an engineer about his role in faulty ignition switches. That is according to the wall street journal. Lawmakers want to know why gm did not recall cars until almost eight decade after learning about the problem. Adam . When we come back, why is apple spending so much money on beats . We will discuss. You are watching bloomberg tv. We are streaming live on your phone, tablet, and bloomberg. Com. Good morning everyone. Tonight, do not miss inside pepsi co. Exclusive interviews with the companys gatorade developing facilities tonight on bloomberg tv. All of that is also on bloomberg. Com. Good morning everyone. This is bloomberg surveillance. Scarlet looks at apple. Final price tag, 3 billion. This is apples largest acquisition ever. It had been telegraphed. The stock is up 4 10 of 1 . With this purchase, they will gain control of beats head pho nes. Lets check in with david kirk patrick, who joins us with his reaction. This deal was weeks in the making. The price tag is lower than originally reported. It is funny. Even though music is really what got apple on the trajectory it has taken, it has gone to this extraordinary scale and success. They have never done headphones well, which is interesting. They even have a policy that if you go in and have a broken headphone, they replace it for free. They know their headphones are so bad. Ironically, that is not being discussed. They need better headphones. They also need a Broader Market positioning among young people. Many of them perceive apple as an old persons product. A smartit is probably move to broaden their market share and get into an area that is critical for a heavily music oriented company. Bring in some intellectual creativity. Also, it is chump change for them. They are only laying out 2. 6 billion. You mentioned they are buying hardware. What about the fact that this is a talent play . What can that mean for apple in the next six months . I was just thinking about getting on to talk to you and i was reading about jimmy and all of the records he has produced. One of the pretenders great a lbums. A classic by meatloaf. He has an incredible sense of what people want. I dont think he is a steve jobs, but from an intuition point of view, he is somebody who gets how people think. He can make classic products. He is going fulltime to apple. Is a music producer and executive, but i think somebody like that could add a lot to the culture of apple. Dr. Dre is also a great artist. He is not is clearly going fulltime, but im sure he will add a lot as well. I understand what apple is getting. I think about the artists. 1 7 will make 1 5, 1 6, the amount of money that they would have gone from downloads. Is that sustainable longterm . That is a debated qu estion. Now youre getting into the music service. I do think it has to be. Frankly, this is the way we are all getting our music. Were not going back to buying cds. If we cannot figure out a way for the artist to make money, the Music Industry is doomed. I do not think it will be doomed. Music is too big a part of culture for that to happen. Prices might go up. That would be good for apple. I dont think we will keep buying songs. By the song on itunes. The strength of the facebook effect was being able to look forward to where we go. Our member the first time i heard stereo crystal clear. Reach forward where will this transaction be in five years . Is a great way to ask question. I think quality of music is going to be affected by this and a number of other trends. We have gotten used to getting our music with convenience. In the process, we have sacrificed the quality of the audio. For someone like you, i am sure it has been acutely painful. I think the chances are good that this will lead apple to concentrate more on the quality. Thank you so much. Crete. Joining us from what he is talking about is tone. They own tone. Youre going to bring bauers and wilkins to apple. You will say fidelity that these kids today do not even know. Im getting my head around the fact that you were excited about stereo. I remember standing there and hearing it for the first time. Were are going to tell you what is coming up in the next half hour. Richard haass will tell us about the president s Foreign Policy cap. Is it clear, is it unclear . Good morning everyone. Im tom keene. Lets get right to top headlines. Search or say they have been looking in the wrong place for the missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner. Investigators say it is not in the area where they have been searching for almost two months now. They will take a threemonth break and try to figure out where to look next. Edward snowden says he still considers himself to be a patriot. News,interview with nbc he defended leaking thousands of classified documents.

Eat los they lead the series 32. The rangers tried to defeat montreal. In the garden tonight. I am hopeful. Those are your top headlines. You go from hockey to football. I do. This comes to us from the wall street journal. Creepy effort is underway to shut people up for a broad swath. This is the First Amendment formal protections and a fahrenheit 451 regime. The time for pushback is overdue. Concern about the pushback on the redskins name. N i defer to albert hunt o this. This is cocktail conversation in washington. Yes. We had all of these commencements bakers who were effectively told youre not welcome to speak here, just because the view was different from their own. That is his concern. A new level of political correctness. Coming up, tension in the east china sea. Any body of water that surrounds china. We will discuss next. The smartest thing that happened in 1842 a lot of criticism that open space there in central park. The great lawn, it is a jewel of the city. This is looking east toward long island. That is manhattan, our world headquarters, dead center in the screen. \ off of see the terrace my master bedroom. You can see were different Hedge Fund People live. This is bloomberg surveillance. Let me do a quick data check. It is all about bonds. Grinding lower after yesterdays historic move. We will continue our discussion on this through the morning. In the equity markets, scarlett had some numbers. Some big gainers. Twitter up almost 11 . They have upgraded to a buy. All of that attention and concern over the slowdown is overdone. Can cant tweak tweak its product. Designer shoe warehouse. Dont you buy or she was there . Maybe you should. They actually went into decline. And Abercrombie Fitch sometime today. They have finally taken a step back and acknowledged missteps. To china, it is the asia society. It is called china against anyone else. Desiresship in beijing a more assertive regional policy. America pivots into change. Jamie is a senior fellow at the asia society and one of the most acute voices. What do you hear now . A big shift in their interaction with original members and also the United States and the world. Theyre undergoing a fundamental change. Very firmly in control with china focused on internal reforms, which are destabilizing. Theyre being very aggressive in tehe region. Theyre really trying to push the United States out of the say im acific to what are you going to support your allies . Theyre picking points of contention where they know that we will not rush in militarily. How poor our, intelligence was on russia. Do we really know the Chinese Military might any idea of whtat the military is . We could learn more. We know a lot about with their capabilities are. Theyre building a military designed to counter us. And they are moving aggressively, knowing that we have a lot to lose. We will not rampup our response militarily. We will try all of these other tools. Hard power ising, important. This china want to be a superpower . For now, a regional power. We have all of these global responsibilities and asia, and europe come in the middle east. What china is betting on we will not be able to go all the way in in asia. When they challenge us, we will not be able to counter them. They have all of this military they are building up and preparing to put a lot of pressure on in their neighborhood. In the medium term, they will have no choice but to become a global power. How much is there Foreign Policy a response to what were seeing from our own administration . Well, a little bit. China was pushing aggressively in the south and east china sea. Before, we have the issue of red lines that were announced. China has watched what has happened in the ukraine and crimea very carefully. The u. S. Was not willing to do what many thought it would be. They signed an agreement in budapest in 1984 saying we would respect the borders of ukraine. Now they are saying theyre going to push into the South China Sea and what are you going to do . The answer has been not so much. The best example i can think of is what is happening with vietnam. China put in offshore oil platform in the vietnamese waters. Over night, they ram a fishing vessel. Same issue. China is challenging vietnam. They are not an ally of the United States, but a friend of the united dates. China is asserting its rights in the South China Sea, letting vietnam now and everyone else know, it isnt going to do much to help you. There are enormous Natural Resources underneath the sea. What china is doing is putting everybody in the region on notice. Deal with us. Forget the United States coming to the rescue. Did we see the president speak to a nation . Those cadets know better than everyone the sacrifice. To the chinese leadership see us as an exhaustive military nation . They are making a bet over the medium term that we will not be able to rally our resources. Haass is coming on. Richard haasl and s back to back . His excellent book his argument is that you need domestic strength. Was that a shameless plug for our next hour . It was. Shameless plug for both hours. Talk about the role that the Chinese People play in this as they move aggressively to force the borders. The government took a specific tact to emphasize its humiliation and pushing nationalism. That is exactly right. In 1989, the Chinese Government realize that they have lost the narrative with the public. They shifted ideologically from tousing on class struggle to focusing on national humili ation, as champions of nationalism. In china itself, it is totally fine. You cannot talk about tibet or other things. You can talk about nationalism. The government has created the space were nationalism is wood of the few except in forms of speech. This whole generation has been raised on Chinese National amelioration. Humiliation. It becomesnarrative, very difficult for china to compromise. The more outlandish claims that they make, particularly in the South China Sea. The more that they are saying we cannot compromise because we, the communist party, are champions of this nationalism that can never become revised that would bring back memories. They have backed themselves into a corner. It is very dangerous. Theyre moving very aggressively , with a zerosum mentality. The United States is sup porting. There is a real opportunity for miscalculation. Is there also an economic argument here . China has gone from an infrastructure based economy to a service one. That is tricky. This is a way of increasing gdp. I would not say that is a key driver. It is relatively small compared to the overall size of the economy. The military is an important voice. By making these claims, they also have access to national resources. Were talking about vietnam. Is there a red line . Where the United States would get involved . Visit japan, korea . There are red lines. As i mentioned earlier, there are questions about what the u. S. Is willing to do. Traditionally, the red line is japan. Were seeing repeated violations of japanese air space. The u. S. Is not able to say. It is unclear what this means. The red line is the cost of breakfast in shanghai. That is one way of looking at it. Jamie metzl, thank you for giving us perspective on that. Coming up, did you know the amount of money you had may be related to the number of heavy metal bands in your area . Good morning everyone. On Foreign Policy, is al qaeda still the biggest threat to america . bsurveillance. A busy day on the markets. Adam gets started. More problems at the Veterans Affairs medical centers. Needing that veterans care were kept on the waiting list. Was a rare, nighttime hearing that ended just before midnight last night. This is a trendsetter for everyone. Brush is calling for emergency steps to stop the fighting in ukraine. Rebels have suffered their first biggest loss was. G togroup is willin spend money to buy the clippers. Oaktreeup includes capital and grant hill. Steve ballmer has also made an offer. Time for a single head bashing chart. Single best map. This is an economic indicator. What we have here is, the fact that some European Countries and north america, and other parts of the world, are home to a lot of heavy metal bands. Maybe that is a symptom of the universe. Heavy metal bands as a Global Wealth indicator. Pay attention to the areas with red and yellow, that is where most of them hail from. Not a lot from africa. Correlation is not causation, necessarily. Heavy metal is music of despair, dissolution. That is on. Dd. Clearly, people would say capitalism is all bad. People are angry, they are acting out. No. This is a sign of liberal societies, they end up being open societies that allow protest. Capitalism create enough wealth that you can afford to do something that is arguably superfluous and unproductive . This is a crazy thing. Or do you need continuous electricity to practice . To the uproar this goes, as you say, to the idea of lousy economic analysis. It is a great idea that they did this. But this correlation and causation thing, where you try to link kiss with the better gdp. We might as well look this reminds me of the super bowl indicator. Wins, the market is going down. Maybe he can give apple some indications. You are too young to remember rare earth. What is your favorite heavy metal band . What i think is heavy metal is now classic rock. I dont know. I love led zeppelin. Is that heavy metal . Punk rock. I remember when it was seminal. My favorite band was black sheep. The lead singer was magical. They were barely known, out of rochester. Their lead singer joined foreign er. All right. Lets move on. Tech stocks have gone from hated to loved, as the nasdaq makes a comeback. Mixed signals in the market. This is bloomberg surveillance. Lets get you some company news now from the files of bloomberg west. Motors executive says that google could be a threat to the auto industry. They have come out with a prototype for a self driving vehicle. They say that if google sets their mind to it, they could become a serious competitive threat. Amazon and a book publisher agree on one thing there is no settlement to their dispute over digital book pricing. Any deal would have to compensate the publisher. Amazon is blocking orders. And the snapchat ceo probably wishes his app had been around when he was in college. He is now apologizing for emails that he sent during fraternity days. They celebrate getting drunk and convincing women to have sex. That is todays company news. They did not have emails back then. Speak for yourself. Every idiot in college im sorry. Send an email suggesting that we get drunk tonight. Here is an exclusive good morning, golden, colorado. The bond market cannot agree why markets are so low. What do the stock eyes think is driving me 10year . Is it consistent with the stock Market Making new highs . Lub is our guest host. What do you think . Guys know, the stock view on the 10 year bond i have never been flooded with so many responses. There are a whole bunch of reasons that you have. There are pension plans, moving money to bonds. You have banks. You have yield differences. The whole lot of people said no, it is none of these things. People are focused on that. Is a cacophony. On junegoing to happen 6 . Ecb has really given the syndication that there is something that is going to go on that will matter. I think it will be very important to stock. You will not get yields up unless you take action that is convincing. What will rbc heres the chart again. Here is the structural trend. Here is draghi one and draghi two. Now what . Now that he has said what he needs to say, what influence does this have on equity markets . If you look at what stocks have been doing on days when yields are up, they are not getting all of the return for your. S onre getting 1. 5 time days when yields are rising. On down days, they are selling off. If you have yields continue to drift lower, hard to have a good year. This is all about disinflation. That is the big story. I am looking now at my terminal. The tenure is trading at 2. 43. Meanwhile, in france, 1. 72. 70 french yield is like basis points lower. If you look at the seven year spain, it is the same as the seven year treasury. It was not that long ago we were talking about them being out of business. Hawaii to bring this back to our viewers worldwide. They do not care about five standard deviations. They just want to know what to do with their retirement account. If the pros like you are stammering over this, what will the average person do, given this great distortion that we have . I think what it is doing is forcing you to choose stocks were you have some growth. What kind . You do not have to do speculative names. It could be across the market. If youre conservative, you can do it in dividends. A lot of these names in biotech are exciting. The other thing we saw was the zero i cannot remember where they cut the report. Use of cash continues. Everybody bought back shares in the first quarter. In your research, do you see any change in that trend . Companies will continue to be reluctant and slow in convincing the economy until the economy has steam to it. It is really not compelling that the economy is accelerating. People talk about this a month bull market. Give us a sense of how much money is sitting on the sidelines. How much will move . Once or twice a quarter, we put out a piece on fund flows. Money moved into stocks and bonds from money funds that are making nothing. I want to measure how long. Where will we be in 12 months . Her. Think we are 1015 hig you have a double digit view . In the next 25 years, you will see this rally continue. I cannot tell the distinction. Thank you so much. Andgolub, with rbs, jamie, come back. Heres the forex report this point.

Costcos samestore sales rose 6 . Microsoft and salesforce. Com are close to a deal that would let microsoft customers use salesforce customer management programs. Indicates that congress is stepping up its probe of a General Motors recalls. Investigators have met with a gm engineer about his role in faulty ignition switch is blamed on fatal crashes. This is according to the wall street journal. Lawmakers want to go wide gm did not recall the cars until almost a decade after learning of the problem. Lets talk apple and beats. Apple has made no bones about it, they have acquired james. Ovine and andre young, dr. Dre 3 billion. 23 days of free cash flows. Thats how long it took for mr. Iovine to mix down Bruce Springsteens record. Adam klein, former chief executive office of emuusic. The New York Times did with looking back at the two giants. Mr. Iovine, who is he . The industryn in 40 years now. He started serving coffee but he has really he has been a taste maker. Andt out in front identified trends. He has captured of them at an early stage, he is a marketer, a promoter. I love the promoter part. Heres my morning must read. I went back 13 years to a special interview, i cant say enough about this, from frontline. The merchants of cool. I asked lenin, why does the president want to throw you out of the country . John lennon look at jamie iovine like i had three heads. A whisper of a heritage he brings. Be fascinating to see that culture and the apple culture. Why did apple get so far behind on the streaming conversation . What delay them getting into this business, they have been growing like a rocket for the last couple years. They are praying they are paying a premium to get in. This is a rapid acceleration to try to get in there. Apple is been tough on the industry, my way or the highway. Jimmyl generate will iovine and dr. Dre said my way or the highway in negotiations . I think part of the jimmy moonve iovine mistake is that hs very respected. He can soften the edges. Apple has been defensive when it comes to music after upending the industry with downloaded music. And does jimmy iovine theyre coming in, what do need to do to make sure apple stays on the offense . It will make this successful because they spent a lot of money. The culture and apple is quite restraining. They announced they will keep it as a separate unit. They have got to claim their primary presence as the next music experience for apple. That is going to require a lot of internal Political Support for them to get that done. How do spotify and pandora compete . A radio, primarily a radio situation. Spotify is very dominant in europe. They have done well in the u. S. Not that dominant in the u. S. Theres a lot of room for beats to get a strong u. S. Position. They will struggle in europe. Spotify started as an advertisingbased service. Apple will package this and sell it as part of its total package of experience. What you have brought to surveillance is the tapestry theeijer across tapestry of music across 40 years and 50 years. We used to live and die to get the new record, that is g one. Can they bring that back . One of a comments was how little new music has come out for itunes this year so far. Iovine does not operate anymore at the level of the emerging artists. That is a space that is suffering a little bit. Looking at how we can regenerate. There are rail possibilities. To the festival culture, which is not a bigticket item culture. A lot of what these guys operate now is very high ticket space. Thank you for coming. Adam klein, helping us out with respect to apple and beats. It is a culture change. Cutting always on the edge and moving forward. Lets switch gears. President obama pushing the reset button on u. S. Foreign policy. At west point, he outlined his strategy. Leadership and initiative but not always with boots on the ground. When issues of global concern do not pose a direct threat to u. S. When crises arise that star our conscience or push the world in do notrous direction but threaten mass, the threshold for military action must be higher. In such circumstances, we should not go it alone. Instead, we must mobilize allies and partners to take collective action. With us is Richard Haass, president of the council on Foreign Relations and author of Foreign Policy begins at home. Clearly what the president is trying to do is achieve a balance between interventionism and a handsoff approach. Did his speech convince you . The short answer is no, i do not think it convinced a lot of people. A lot of the mistake critics of his Foreign Policy feel he has not done enough to defend u. S. Interests around the world. There is a growing tide towards isolationism. There is doubt about american reliability and i do not think this speech solved this problem. Want tout out if you get informed, go to the council on Foreign Relations and see the entire interview with ambassador haass. Whatever you agree on Foreign Policy, it is a wonderful read. I love how you ended it on collective action. Collective action and higher threshold, the two buzz phrases. As i listened to that, i wonder if the president is stepping back. It is like a lack of leadership. Collective action and higher were going to get everybody involved and not leave. Likes a lot of the speech was the attempt to thread needles. We want to stay involved in the world and do it collectively, sometimes we have to do it unilaterally. We do not want to use too much or too little military force. You have got to get down to specifics. Before hours before the president gave another speech saying all forces will be out of afghanistan in two years. This comes after taking all forces out of iraq, that did not work so well. It is not clear in afghanistan is going to work either. Would this have been a different speech with president Hillary Clinton . Is this unique to president obama or is this a Democratic Party thrust . In both parties this is obama policy. Tied to obamas legacy will be the fact that he brought these two large wars to a close. When secretary clinton, if she runs for president , she will be looking more towards the future. When you look at this, i thought this was stunning yesterday. He response was how can we say tepid . They relationship of our president to our three academies is unique and special. What should he have done yesterday . Speaking at the military academy saying you guys have living,p for for a theres going to be less of it. Yeah what the president had to do was make the case for what he was going to do, why had he and had he not done certain things in the past and what was he doing for the future . S. Richard haass waith u is al qaeda still the biggest threat to america . Is that still the biggest threat . Good morning, bloomberg surveillance. I am tom keene. This matters now to Richard Haass, president of council on Foreign Relations. Foreign policy should not be calendar driven but conditions based. You have written about afghanistan, discuss. The u. S. Has made a commitment to afghanistan and we have interests in the country moving forward. What the president announced was decision to bring American Forces down to 9800 at the end of this year and zero by the end of 2016, just before he leaves office. Why . Why dont we keep openminded. If those forces are achieving good things and keeping stability and helping to train the afghans, why is not worth at . Why should we say no matter what we are taking them out yet t . What is your optimism about a better afghanistan with the new administration . You have a new government that will be easier to work with. My hunch is it will be the former foreign minister who is from an ethnic minority in afghanistan. That shows that people are seeing the country not simply in terms of what ethnic group they are a part of. If we were to put together old neighbors in a type of diplomatic effort to help afghanistan, that could make a difference. We have accomplished some things over the last decade plus. 10,000 people in afghanistan. Some people would equate that to us having 10,000 people in germany. Most americans would say i am sorry they are in harms way in afghanistan. Can we be there safely with a residual element . Yes, they are not there for combat purposes. They are there to train and advise the local forces. I can imagine on occasion they would do counterterrorism action but that would be true even if they were not based there. We will be doing our terrorism action in more than two dozen countries around the world, whether we have residual forces or not. Quickly on the president s speech yesterday. What does he need to do now to be more prescriptive . He asked to make the case about why americans need to stay involved and what that will mean. I am worried after a decade of overreach and doing too much, to me the biggest problem is under reach.

The rally in bond prices has the wilderness on berries, especially since the feds next move is like the the rally in bond holdersas confuse, especially since the feds next move is likely one thing i find extraordinary, a dynamic that has been in the markets for a long time. You are getting an incredible amount of liquidity. The fed is going to be gradual, the data is ok and you have the ominous ukrainerussia story. The big one i think people are not putting enough weight on is when you look at where u. S. Treasuries are, you see the 10 year treasury at 250 and then or youu look at germany look at some of the highyield markets or spread markets in portugal and how much it is compressed, u. S. Treasuries do not look that bad relative to the rest of the world. They might look good. Given the liquidity, the size of the markets, owning some duration is viewed by many as ok. How long will relative value persist . You have a dan and that that is extraordinary and historic. Dynamic that is extraordinary and historic. Mario draghi is driving bonds forward.

You can say i loan rate you can stay in a low range for a long time. This goes to your book which links distortion to financial markets. Is no one worried about inflation . Think Monetary Policy around the world, they are more worried about deflation. That is not a say that longer term you cannot see inflationary conditions. If you look at inflationary conditions in europe and what is happening in china and japan, including what is happening near term in japan. The nearterm risk is that we continue to decelerate inflation. In the back of peoples minds down the road there is no doubt you can create more inflation and you are creating some wage pressure. In the short term unemployment area. If the u. S. Is trading 243 and germany is 140 or whatever, should we be buying portuguese tenure bonds at ten year bonds at 383. They are going to hold really well, risk and reward is why we have shifted out of some of those peripheral names. They were great value.

The dont think google or web or digital platforms is winner take all. Google has proven they have a very relevant advertising solution. They made advertisements relative they made advertisements relevant. The jury is out where the ad product evolves with twitter. They are doing great things and harboring communication globally. You think about social media and connecting the dots, google was able to get paid for clicks risk. You see an advertisement, you click through. That where it is going, you have got to get paid for click throughs . That is the front and metric of relevancy in todays Online Advertising landscape. If the user clicks, they are saying this is relevant. Google rewards marketers by sharing higher relevant ads. Twitter has some of that and they need to connect the dots and they will.

To tv, google, facebook and content creators are not going to be successful with digital revenue stream . Digital has become more of a nucleus and content creation. As well as monetization. The reason tv is still a powerful medium because they have a Critical Mass of audience and users. As screens and mobile are becoming more prolific, it is not going to matter if it is tv, digital, mobile, college kids today do not even have cable.

Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov says russia needs to stop bloodshed in Eastern Ukraine as the new president vows to wipe out separatist insurgents. Richard haass, president of the council on Foreign Relations. What will russia do and how will they respond jacob we are seeing a percolation overnight at the beginning of a response. What is the set of options mr. Putin has . I do not think mr. Putin wants a failed ukraine on his doorstep. The costs of absorbing crimea are extraordinary, three. Lympics, 150 billion he wants ukraine to be sensitive, to russia. He does not want to own all of ukraine. Pullinge succeeded in ukraine away from a needle attachment . Toi think what you are going see from the new government are assurances to their own citizens about the rights of minorities, the language, and to their neighbors that ukraine will keep some distance from nato and the eu, a welcome message and moscow. My morning must read is from john bolton, now at the American Enterprise institute and he was the ambassador to the u. N. He wrote that the president is doubling down on a muddled Foreign Policy. Does russia have a clearcut objective in its foreignpolicy . Mr. Putin has a clear objective, his own position at home. He wants to expand russian power. Of 143 millionry people. It does not have global reach or an ideology that appeals to nonrussians. It is not a new cold war. Russia is significant but still regional. What should be the response of germany . Especially after the elections. Ukraineny needs to make viable. Work with the eu and the imf, get the new Ukrainian Government up and running and make it viable. You just said germany needs to make it viable. The burden falls on germany again because germany has money. Europe,e powerhouse in ukrainians have demonstrated they are not up to it themselves. They will need economic help, above the amount that has been pledged. Lets take a broad sphere that the cfr looks at. The news of the moment is india, an extraordinary election. At least back to 1984 and the gandhi assassination. Your thoughts on how successful mr. Modi can immediately be back e . Degree ofa concentrated power almost without precedent in india. He has a majority in the lower house and support for him to do what he did in gujarat nationally. It is still india, theres a tension between a federal and state level. And terribleuption infrastructure. The interesting thing to watch is how well mr. Modi can translate his local success to the national level. I remember the day you had Muammar Gaddafi on stage at cfr. Cfr, what isat your first question . I want to know what he can do to change the dna of india . This country has all this potential but never realizes it. What can he do to change the culture . This goes to the Obama Administration and visa issues. This is the issue, you would go away from hindumuslim domestic, pakistani, politics more than economic issues. You mentioned my book, Foreign Policy begins at home, that is mr. Modis idea. Do that given the scale of that country. Help me understand is that education, is that the cutest thing . Infrastructure and doing something about corruption. Lets get to the agenda, we focus on the stories that are going to dominate the headlines. You are going to get us started. I will rip up the script. Usk at ricks interview with. Giving us a historic perspective. We have never seen it could this is extraordinary. Full focus of bloomberg surveillance is on the june 5 ecb meeting. Mario draghi there. Tom, you are heading to the radio. Will hold court here. Adam, what are you focused on . Gdp. Gdp, this is the second look were going to get on firstquarter gdp. Apparently it is going to be revised down according to forecasts to a. 5 . That is the first negative quarterly gdp we have seen in three years. I know it is backward looking, is that a concern for you . The fact that this will be negative . Absolutely. Even when it bounces back, it will not bounce back as high as it could or should. We should be growing at 4 were more. There are things we are not politicalause of reasons that we should be doing. We are underachievers. We are behind. Stalked says iran socialficials using media. They struck up a friendship with leaders and 84star general. How does washington respond . What are they going to say . Just as weoint out, saw on the speech yesterday at west point, obama is threading the needle. You cannot go too far to one side or the other if you are president obama and that is what hes trying to do. With around . If someone wants to friend you in persian you should say no thanks. It is going to be a foreignpolicy test of the next six months, what happens if and when these negotiations with iran do not succeed. That will be issue number one. Andeware of friend requests tweets in persian. Our twitter question of the day. Is al qaeda still the biggest threat to america . These are the answers. Resounding yes. No, economic problems are bigger. Your point about gdp. A shrinking economy, people vote with their check books. Rate, theoyment official rate plus people working parttime it is like 12. 2 . The final answer. This is a Midterm Election year as well. Richard haass, what do you think . Al qaeda, if they were to get a hold of weapons of mass destruction. Our domestic underperformance.
