Housing in this hour. Now at 17,000. Dow jones industrial average 18,500. According to anthony dwyer. He has been long and right. Give me the single point why we are going higher. How is the pension fund going to make 7. 5 benefit they have to pay out with a high yield debt market of five percent . The most liquid part and high risk category is at a record low punctuation despite slow mobile growth and weak domestic growth throughout the cycle. What will be the motivation from fixed to switch income to equities . That is a great question. Idea that everyone will switch at the date and time. It is a great rotation coming from everywhere. It is coming from gold. Even though some of these areas are rallying you start to get the slower money drains because you need the returns. The pond and trade. Punditry. We can find no trace of change core basis points. The yield curve is steep and money stability continues to improve as he meant Business Loan demand. What makes you most upset when you hear doom and gloom . We try to complicate a very simple thing. The market correlates to the direction of our angst. That is driven by inflation. It is a new normal. Sort of normal. What president obama is doing is not relevant. Know what is relevant is as long as core inflation remains tame, meaning somewhere around two percent, the fed can basically give you the fed put. They will tell you they will not raise rates. Ben bernanke took out an oped piece canceled due to take risk. We tried to prove he was wrong. The guy printing the money told you to buy them. You do forecast for correction of some point. We dont know why. Trying to make it iraq or anywhere. No one predicted in the summer of 1996 Alan Greenspan would give us irrational exuberance speech in japan. What is great about this conversation is the idea of someone doing this every single day. Marty is todays mayor saying do not fight the fed. Is exactly what the messages. Here is the one thing i have to ask you about, you are the baseball and have made that very clear. You also say we will get a five or six. Lex that is a great strategist. Pretty highly convict and we will get somewhere closer to five percent and 10 . Limited upside. Typically the seven percent correction. I am looking for that correction. You have to buy it. Corrections are only healthy until they actually happen. Are when it is happening you are to help into good. Theyre never going to buy it on a correction. Until you get for the next four years we will not have a recession. There is how i get there, we are not raising rates for a year. You only have a recession after an inversion of the yield curve since the 1950s. Toes 50 years at least invert the curve, usually longer. Your mean inversion is 15 months. Are tellingrue, you me youre going to pay 15. 5 times forward numbers . No way. To will use the opportunity get aggressive and add to your upside potential returns. Connect the dots between what we hear from tony dwyer and what is going on in your world in u. S. Housing prices. There is very little risk of a bubble on the housing side. Look about three percent undervalued. Rateiggest effect of low is with prices undervalued and rates still near historic lows over many decades, those who can get a mortgage, still much cheaper to buy than rent. For those who can, much cheaper. We will continue the conversation on housing him a particularly in the western parts of the country. Very cool. Markets and housing. Yankees and like red sox.

Unlikely because we are at best with football and baseball and baseball in a couple of other sports. Our single best chart is on the valuable franchises. Not ono say red sox and the list. Dallas cowboys Americas Team valued at 2. 3 billion. The yankees high on the list. 2. 3 billion as well. The Toronto Maple Leafs the most valuable hockey club. New york knicks 1. 1 billion. That actually goes up to 5 billion. Great study of what mr. Ballmer changed. He changed a lot. Major league soccer. Seattle sounders worth 175. Soccer club. Call themselves the new york city football club. We want to tease ahead. Joining us in the next hour is the coowner of the new york giants, Jonathan Tisch.

Amazon had been demanding price concessions. Twitter denied it agreed to block accounts in russia. Beingals said access was restricted. Only showing russian technicians how to report illegal content. That is this Morning Company news. Those have become sensitive issues. It really upsets me when we take freedom of speech for granted. That is the pillar of this country that makes it special and different. Like there are people that cannot talk. The evolution of social media is where this is going. This is like five or 10 years. Of all things very quickly. I still go to my phrase of twitter vigilante. Markets, i thought the morning cyprus lou up. Was onle debate politicians. We are not allowed to use it. Goes against the compliance. You get the political dialogue on twitter. I could not believe it. The twitter vigilante was born. The political mishit twitter wave before before. There is a lot of false information disseminated on twitter. It is like the mood of the moment. It is getting better. The truth issue is valid. Getting better. Truth, housing. Home prices rising to the highest level in six years. Precrisis valuations in some markets like San Francisco and austin, texas. Our guest is for the hour says there is no housing bubble to fear. Why is this not 2006 all over again you go we look at where prices are compared to fundamentals. Kind of like looking at a pe ratio on the equity side. When you take that into account, still looking three percent undervalued. During the recession, rents rose. Incomes have also risen slightly. Even in places where the Dollar Dollar the prices getting back to the peak level. When you say three percent undervalued, this is the result of the proprietary index. If we can pull this up on the screen so everyone can see it. Explain to us how you came up with the index. To compare prices to income and prices to rent. We look at that relative to the past. What that shows us is the height of the bubble in 2006 prices were almost 40 overvalued nationally. The places that look the most overvalued are the markets that saw the biggest price drops. Predicted where the bust is going to be worse. You can make the same chart for the equity markets. Valuations you say are still pretty reasonable. That is what it comes down to. Many people assume the same fundamentals. Incomes have grown a little bit. The philadelphia fed, they are understated since 1965. With what little income we have had, you have more than he think historically. The question i have is there is a big move and rentals because the millennials are just turning 25. Boomill have a baby generation in the millennials in the key homeownership is when they turn 30. What we see right now is their moving out of their parents home and starting to rent. Do the jobs and incomes recover . Which i have not very much yet. Also, can they get mortgages . A challenge for young people is affordability has gotten worse. Investors who had to take advantage. Repeat buyers but not yet those firsttimers. Does that include the duration . You could get a guy that is 25 coming out of college on their first job to get a 400,000 dollar mortgage to live in a threebedroom house in bergen county. You are shortening the cycle because you were pulling forward the housing data. Wouldnt it be better to go from her rental to a firsttime home to a bigger home . What we see , and the challenge has been the lack of firsttime home buyers has been we have fallen behind. Should have existed without the recession. We will see they will move up. Many eventually will buy. Also demographic trends affecting this. People marrying later, having kids rate or. Aside from the recession we would have seen a slowdown and the age of firsttime homebuyers. Bikes every region has its own supply and demand issue. I wanted to ask you about california. Strength in the most extensive segment. What does that tell you . Going on in thing california is the for clay traces isfor closure pretty much behind us in california and many other states. That means much less inventory at the low end of the market and prices for than 20 yearoveryear or more in a lot of markets. To buy in hard california right now. I want to rip up the script. In new york city, the city of new york has decided to raise regulated rents one percent. Bloomberg coverage cost one a fivepoint some percent for landlords. You see aume when regulated market that you see less construction . A regulated market is a symptom of not building enough housing in the past. Rentlaces that have control and rent regulation in the country are the places that do not building up to begin with. Friends cannot is lined with income and becomes affordability crisis. The places like new york, San Francisco, santa monica these places both far less housing over time. And tony dwyer, guest host for the hours. Of a stocke afraid bubble or housing bubble . Treat us. What do you think . I do not think either one are anywhere near a bubble. You cannot pick two markets historically undervalued. Thank you so much.

I clearly cant speak for General Motors, but this industry is really important, and it is important that we make progress on the issues we are dealing with. I am so pleased with the way ford operates, the respect they have for the process, and the way we stay so aligned with the process and any time we find in issue we move on decisively. Any Automobile Company that has an issue, we review the issue and check everything through ford to make sure we dont have the same issue because what is really important is the integrity of the great industry, which is dedicated to safe and efficient transportation.

Supply yes emma there are new hotels coming online. We opened our fourth hotel last thursday down in orlando. Excuse me, shameless plug. Of course it is. It is a statement about how Loews Corporation and loews hotels are committed capital to building new hotels, and that says a lot that we have made a conscious decision that we cannot supply because demand is increasing. And that is the key point. I was looking at data coming up from mastercard suggesting that spending habits have shifted. A few years ago they wanted stuff for their home. Now they are willing to spend money. What is the described area in hospitality . Hotels are growing insurgencies. If you look at hotels are growing in certain cities.

It is very in flux right now. 24, a little 113. Salt of word was hours ago moving nonetheless. Secretary of state john kerry says the United States is preparing a strategy to act. We want to bring in neera tanden , president of the center for american progress, director of the mustard policy for thensenator barack obama director of domestic policy for thensenator Barack Obamas campaign. The white house is considering all kinds of options including air strikes but has yet to decide on anything beyond sending troops to defend the embassy. Is time running out . I think that we have a fair amount of time. The most important issue to remember is that we dont want a wider conflict in the region, sectarian conflicts between sunni and shia. Secretary of state kerry is doing the right thing by talking to leaders in the region and trying to have them lead the effort to ensure that we dont have a wider war. Iraq is in deeper trouble between shiite militias fighting the sunni extremists and that could tear the country apart. I think we all know the domestic ramifications. See it with the president s polls declining in the number of days and weeks. What is the mood in your washington . Take yourself away from secretary clinton. What is the mood within the beltway on how to handle this crisis in iraq . Well, look, i think we can talk about the domestic politics about these problems. I think everyone is frustrated that the problems in the world are growing to some degree. But the truth is that the challenges are much deeper than domestic politics. Wars in therian middle east will have the consequences not just for the u. S. , but for the global economy, and that is why it is important that we try to support the dramatic efforts, and that we keep support diplomatic efforts and that we keep military options open to fight isis, a threat to iraq but really to the world. I want to talk about closing the door, dropping the hammer, restoring american credibility, which at this point is in a difficult place given the fact that we pulled out of iraq, left afghanistan, the Palestinian Peace talks fell apart with israel. What does the u. S. Need to do right now, neera tande . Actually, the greatest threat to America Great ability was going into iraq in the first place. Wrong information, if not lies. That was the greatest hit to american credibility over the last 10 years. Build a coalition together to stop support for isi shia militiae step back so that we can have changes in the government. And we have to ensure that there is military stops to what is happening to isis advances. It does seem that they are getting to baghdad and that is an important thing. I want to ask you about hillary clinton. You were a policy adviser to her and whoever becomes president will need to take on this iraq issue as well. She was clear in her book hard choices that her vote for the iraq war was a mistake. Does that leave for more options as result of that admission . I think that she was secretary of state for 4 years, she knows the region extremely well. If she runs for president , i imagine iraq will be different than it is today. We dont have years to act on these issues. We have days and weeks. I think she will face this challenge but she has a lot of experience on this issue and i dont think iraq i dont think her vote on iraq will be an issue. I think the party has moved on, the country has moved on. I want to ask you one final question. You participated in the white houses working families summit this week, and fathers were a big theme because it is not just a womens issue anymore. Why is this such a hot button issue and should government be taking such an active stance . It is a major issue because it is a concern of voters, women voters and male voters, but women voters particularly republicans, democrats, and independents recognize there is something wrong when the United States is one of the handful of countries, up there with oman and papua new guinea, that doesnt offer paid leave for fathers or mothers. It is a real concern to people and that is why it was such an important topic yesterday. Neera tanden thank you so much. Daytwitter question of the this is bloomberg surveillance. I am scarlet fu, here with tom keene and then johnson. Add monsanto to the list of avoid u. S. Trying to taxes paid a deal would allow monsanto to move headquarters to switzerland for tax purposes. According to people familiar with the matter the deal is dead. Thispplications at retailers chains has risen 10 from a year ago. Gap says it is noticeable at the old navy chain, where the number of applicants had been falling. Target ousting the ceo last month after executives gave the board a message it is him or us. Ceo rexd that target pineapple needed to leave immediately or they would. Inhafel neededste to leave immediately or they would. The jets and the giants getting together for a huge super bowl that was earlier this year. After the new, york super bowl, the critics this so what. Tapes eliisch mannings ankle for the near giants. Defend it. Tely will it was a Great Success for the new york and new jersey region. Broadway never in the history of the city broadway was closed from 35th street to 43rd street. Not one arrest. Not one arrest. Not one person was taken off and handcuffed. This is a sense of excitement. People were thrilled to be part of the super bowl in his region. What was the net cash after paying for security . I dont know about the net, but we are sticking by our number that we think about half 1 billion was gross generation. You can do your own math and figure out what security cost. I think that the positive impact on his region will last for years to come. The next couple years of taken. Given to minneapolis, which is good because we just bought a hotel there, shameless plug number 3. Oh, come on roof,ew stadium with a and the allstar game is there this summer could im a big believer that these events make a difference. If this kind of event comes back to new york, what would you postsently if new york another super bowl . We learned about Traffic Control and certainly im not speaking for new jersey, but there are issues with people trying to get home after the game. The Transmission Infrastructure in a different matter. All in all it was a success. I think you covered the giants. This uproar about the washington redskins, its become real. We want your opinion on this. It is an issue that certainly offends people, when you cross that line to offending a good slice of your fan base it becomes problematic. Do the jets need a name change . They are our neighbor in the building. I love the jets. I did not have a problem with this until i thought about it in this context what if it were skins . Ckskins or yellow whenever the name is, people are being offended. We are more sensitive in todays world about how we brand issues and companies. It is becoming a distraction. Should they continue to fight this or should they just make the change, preempt it . Dan snyder will make the decision based on his team and what he wants. When you have the president and senators and members of congress saying that this is a problem for our country, you need to look at it. You think it is precipitated in some ways by don sterling absolutely. On the heels of the nbas action , but look at that valuation. 2 billion is a lot of money for a basketball team. What does that do for the valuation of other sports franchises . People are saying that the New York Knicks would be worth 5 billion i cant even imagine the new york yankees, and your giants. What it shows is that appointment tv is more important than ever. We can dvr everything else, but if you want to watch a sporting event as it is happening, live tv, appointment tv, these teams are worth a lot of money. Congratulations on what you two did. Super bowl in february, it was a success. We have data on housing coming up this morning. Futures down by almost 4 points. Euro stronger. Good morning, everyone. Bloomberg surveillance we are on bloomberg television, bloomberg radio. Im using more each and every day and i hope you do as well. I am tom keene. With me, scarlet fu and adam johnson. Our guest this hour, on sport and travel, Jonathan Tisch joins us from the loews group. For zillow dancing in the world cup as expected, but something surprising is happening this year. Presents are protesting public money spent on stadium brazilians are protesting public money spent on a stadium over health care. Bredin greely is there from brazil. Brendan greeley is therefrom resulted sports usually transcends all s politics. Why not this year . One thing brazil always does is get behind the national selection, the National Team. Usually on the apartment blocks, what you see is a brazilian flag in every window. Yesterday i was in a city of about one Million People outside sao paulo, and you could count one or two brazilian flags, and that, im told, is a huge change from 4 years ago. The brazilians are really into the cup. It is really good soccer this time around and they are excited to host people from all over the world but they are not getting behind their own team. People are not taking to the feared,the way they had but they are not as excited as they normally are, frosted by 11 billion that went to 12 different stadiums. Are they taking their anger out at the players, the ones who are still rich and represent the kind of divide they are protesting . Ah, well, you know, not necessarily. It is not that they are angry at the players, it is the government. The government had assumed that once the couple started everybody would be so excited about the National Team that nothing else would matter. I think the frustration stems from that assumption. What they are saying is we are not that easy to buy. Even footballobsessed brazil cant be bought with the National Team pride. All of the companies, particularly the International International interNational Team companies if you look at mcdonalds, they are just draped with lou and yellow and green flags. They have a long marketing biplane and they presumed this whole time that everybody would be really, really into the brazilian team. Shell oil also draped with brazilian flags, really remarkable. Companies are attempting to use brazilian patriotism to sell things but there was actually just a quick question. Can you get a sense of people from other countries outside of brazil, to watch the games . Has there been an influx of International Travelers . More americans than any other nationality, so there you go, tom, americans really like soccer. Last night on the northeast coast there were a lot of americans. You hear a lot of american english spoken on the street. Really inazilians are a very almost stereotypically brazilian away i watched a little tv yesterday and i saw 2 different segments on how amazing it was to have the secretly attractive soccer players from all over the world in brazil, asking people to phone him and say she was the most attractive who was the most attractive. There was another segment on who is the most beautiful fan. Brendan, paint for us to brazilian interest in germanyusa on thursday. Are they engaged in that match . They are passively engaged in every match. I had some people who were hosting the near sao paulo hosting me near sao paulo. Game set to watch the usa they sat to watch the usa game against article. I think of is against preferred think the americans i the brazilians prefer to see the americans in later rounds. I cannot foresee a world in which america beats germany, particularly this german team. But we can always believe. We certainly always can. Great having you as always. We will talk to a celebrity chef coming up next. Good morning, everyone. Bloomberg surveillance. Im tom keene. Whitney, scarlet fu adam johnso touch with me, scarlet fu and adam johnson. Matt miller caught up with ford ceo alan mulally. What did you say about what he is going to do next . Employees in the audience were asking him we had exclusive access to this town hall meeting. He has been doing a series of them around the world to say goodbye it passed the torch to say goodbye and pass the torch. It was an allstar for crowd t ford crowd. I asked him if he would be advising him is because the companies out there that could use his cell. He is definitely giving advice still to ford. I will maintain many of the great relationships i have had. I have fallen in love with ford. It is a great company, so important for what it does for the economy and sustainability. Mark will call you if you ever need to . Absolutely, anytime. This guy stays on message, alan mulally does, but he has such talent he could broaden it out to other companies and organizations. Jonathan tisch, leadership you have written 3 books on the topic. What is the lesson . We all have the ability to be successful and we have a responsibility to help others get to the same place. We cant be all things to all people. There are certain ways we work that are effective. But we have to surround ourselves with others that make the entire organization really click and work. This transition has been pretty seamless. All . He talk about that at over and over. When he first went to ford they were talking about a succession plan. Aey havent had that at ford lot, they havent had that Many Companies they started early on this transition. Or would be revised after observing the train wreck at jcpenney what would be your advice after observing the train wreck at jcpenney . One of the keys to our success, and he comes from my late father, my late uncle, is that we listen to each other, we respect each other. We know what were good at, we know where we need help. That is made that has Loews Corporation as successful as it is today. 2 guys in brooklyn who had nothing. They worked together, they respected each other. Throw a jon tisch croissant at steve tisch. I was aiming for you but you ducked. Matt miller, thank you so much for bringing your conversation with alan mulally. Jonathan tisch, our guest host for the hour. We want to bring you the tutor question twitter question. Good morning. We welcome you to bloomberg surveillance in new york city. Tomorrow on the program, always interesting, always controversy ina will join us here on bloomberg surveillance. This is bloomberg surveillance. Fu, zero tom keene and adam johnson. Lets get year with tom keene and adam johnson. Apple is thinking big in the smart phone battle with samsung. Reduction of the largest iphone ever will start in china. People familiar with the plan say that the new model will have 7. 5 inch screens and 5. 5 inch screens. Amazon and time warner are settling the feud and amazon is accepting preorders of warner dvds. Amazon had been demanding price concessions. Blocking accounts statementsfollowing by officials there that access is being restricted. That is this morning plus company news from the files of bloomberg west. You wonder where that is going to be in five years. Governments need to catch onto social technology. A lot of people do good i was a late convert. I didnt join twitter until a year and half, 2 years ago, and i cant live without it. In the food business, the restaurant business, it is lenox avenue in new york city, also known as malcolm x. Boulevard, in the heart of harlems heartbeat is red rooster. The oysters and links, scarlet defied yarger. Yardbird. Ied cooks foruelsson president clinton, he cooks for oprah, and Jonathan Tisch is known to get it without reservations. You have pulled this off a few times. Look, i am in the same business he is in. Happy to wait. Take us back to when you opened. You were an idiot for doing this, everyone said it would fail. The very first day was pretty amazing. Our first guest, you wont believe this, was Keith Richards and ron wood. We did a party for paul t at theys big even apollo and Keith Richards and ron wood walked in and said wheres the party, man . You have had a lot of support tischeleb crews like jon getting this going. With this app by itself without liberties with this have gone by itself without celebrities . The biggest fortis from the community. Is fromiggest support the community. The people who made the reservations were not necessarily from harlem. A third of the restaurant is all was open for walked and. We basically have three customers the visitor, books online. The new yorker give me the 8 00 reservation right now, do you know who i am . I dont do that. [laughter] that the local who says is my restaurant, i am not going to make reservation. The customer tells you what to do and we serve them. From aspen got back and the wine and Food Festival there, you go to miami beach all the time. You are starting one in harlem. Why harlem, why now . One thing you and i share, love for new york. I truly believe that we learn a lot about, for example, each other when that incident bad incidents happen. We had that with sterling and incidents on race. I want to do the same journey with good stuff. Food and hospitality can bring us more together. Harlem is an Incredible Community and the Food Festival we are starting, next year, its going to be food, arts, and culture. You can go to many local restaurants and enjoy it for just like you do in aspen. You got president clinton to sign on as a cochair. Not so bad. Very nice, both of the mayor and mr. Clinton came up. All the Small Businesses in harlem came out and supported. It is really their event. What people love about red rooster is they dont have kale. [laughter] kale is so in right now. Im sick and tired of kale. Kale this, kale that. Factory . Wns the kale my wife says 5 years from now we will come up with some disease attributed to kale. You got three stars from the new york times, almost unprecedented. And yet you left that you started this. What is the lesson to people who are thinking about starting a business . First of all, the model for me of super highend dining, i thought the consumer wanted something else. They wanted to be able to go out without reservations. Starting a business in harlem allowed me to really start over again and be more consumerdriven in which you cannot really do when you are a midtown restaurant. It allows more flexibility. You are active in the community and promoting your personal brand. Im wondering how you divide your time. How much time on celebrity projects like the tv shows and books . Our business is not an eitheror. I do social media, but i have my office in harlem right above the restaurant. I spent time in the kitchen, in the restaurant, the rest on the road traveling. Helgas meatballs, they are so damn good. Going to order it next time. You are looking at the markets. Vix has become quite. We have really gone down now. This is remarkable, i am going duced, and i fedinc really dont understand it. It is because of centralbank action, and we really have to think about the third week of august feel you see in the market. Remarkable, given the noise and conflict overseas as well, iraq especially, which is on my agenda. Secretary of state john kerry is in iraq on an emergency meeting and he met leaders in the capital ofiraq semiautonomous of iraqs semiautonomous kurdish region. My agenda comes right back to the u. S. Housing. We will get the caseshiller price index of housing. It is supposed to be up 12 , yet another game. Gain. We were speaking with an economist to pull us in our code that housing is still 3 undervalued. Nationwide it is still 3 Michelle Meyer came out with a very subdued neutrallike call out 2, 3, 4 years. You wonder how housing dovetails into the longterm potential gdp of 2. 2 . Housing enthusiasm might slow down. We want to bring in our twitter question of the day because we asked people out there, are you more afraid of the stock bubble or housing bubble . Some of the answers here that one is firmly on the side of housing bubble. How about stock bubble . That really goes to the liquidity of the matter, which is the key distinction. And we havent talked about this one yet. Im sorry, mark cuban, he says a lot of things that are stupid. Mark cuban has been rocking on this, on student loans. Why has he been so vocal . I dont know, but we have got to get him on the show. Mark cuban has been front and center. My sophomore year i basically took out student loans. Princeton was 18,000 when i graduated in 1988. I was able to take out those loans and i could afford to take them pay them back. Student loans is crazy. What do we do to fix this . A lot of universities are increasing endowment. Ive been on the board of Tufts University for years and we, like other schools, want to be able to ensure that students who belong to that institution who can benefit from a school of any level can get the education they deserve. Thank you so much. Greatly appreciate having you with us to marcus, thank you as well. Continues is up next with oxtail. Life live from bloomberg headquarters, i am alix steel.
