A substantive conversation about the future of ukraine and how to unwind attention. We saw a fullfledged embrace from obama. The meeting was important for a variety of reasons. Signal to investors, to other institutional leaders that this is a person who can lead ukraine out of crisis.

I have been deeply impressed hisis vision and partly by experience as a businessman, and what he knows will help ukraine grow and be effective.

But in poland he cast a larger struggle as not just about ukraine but also about the march to progress of freedom in eastern europe. As we have been reminded by russias aggression in ukraine, are free nations cannot be complacent in pursuit of the vision we share. A europe that is whole and free and at peace. We have to work for that. We have to stand with those who seek freedom. The president also came bearing gifts. In nightthe 5 billion vision goggles and armor. That is nonlethal assistance. That is to the ukrainian i still struggle to see how night vision goggles can be clearly on the nonlethal side. I will leave that for you and stephanie to discuss. Hold on. It is unclear to you why it would be on the nonlethal side . It is just goggles. You are using goggles that night to patrol your border. I imagine you could make the case that maybe they are playing freeze tag or something, but for the most part i suspect night vision goggles are used for violent means, violent ends.

Our international correspondent, hans nichols, from brussels today. Goldman sachs Small Business smallm was held to set up businesses. I had a chance to sit down with goldmans ceo and chairman like buying fine chairman Lloyd Blankfein and michael bloomberg. The two share their experiences with graduates of the business program. If you are wondering why they are so anxious and nervous on the show yesterday, that is why. Take a look. I remember being a great listener just like a smart and diligent and great athletes. But i have a feeling we are all alike. Do you feel like the image generation wants to take note and wants to learn from them before . Right now when they have icons like mark zuckerberg, the guys from snapchat becoming multimillionaires and billionaires, they do not necessarily want to learn from their elders. They have to understand those are so rare, you have a better chance of winning the lottery. Really no chance. You have to get used to the fact that you are going to have to work your way up. It is going to be a struggle. You will have ups and downs. That is just the real world. And i dont know very many people who are successful that didnt have lots of downs in their careers. Anybody that has a meteoric rise just is getting ready for a fall. Knowing how hard you worked in your career, it does not give you pause to hear from young people who want not to work on the weekend, who say they dont want to work for the man, who say they want to be part of a community, they want to be more thoughtful . It is darwin at work. What do you mean . Because they are not going to be successful. You can always buy a Lottery Ticket and win 1 trillion. But generally speaking, if you are going to get into Goldman Sachs or progress at Goldman Sachs, or at bloomberg or at the cornerer score store, you have to work very collaboratively, be honest and be flexible. If you tell me you do not want to do this or do that, i would not hire you. I want to know what you want to do. I used to write letters. I am a 1000 letters, and terrible typist, but i typed them out until i cut them right. Until i got them right. And i got a job all through college. Every summer i had a job. In high school i had summer jobs , and parttime my senior year i worked at a little electronics company. We did not know anybody. Somebody once said that i got something because of influence, and my mother said the only people we knew whose names were in the paper were in the obituary or the crime sections. I did not know anybody. You just go out there and do it, and i still think that opportunity is there, and i dont think most kids fit into this mold of the millenial and they are too good for this and they do not want to work for the man, or in this day the woman. Handful, they are in for a rude awakening. Schools that do not want Christine Lagarde and Condoleezza Rice speaking at their commencement. I came up in a generation where people were at the vietnam war and he picketed things in hindsight we would not done today. Some of the things done or said are ageappropriate, and if you look at what people are doing as opposed to what they are saying, i complain like crazy about the long hours i had, the times i spent that i was a lawyer when i started out in a law library. I complain for hours and hours how late i had to stay. If i had left i could have gotten out a lot earlier, but i worked. I think youre doing the same thing today. The world is different. Delivering things, collating, things that do not have to be done today. Absorbing a lot more information, disturbing things with a lot greater effect than we had the ability to. Dont forget, i get older every year but the kids starting out at Goldman Sachs stay in the same age. I always talk to the group coming in, and they seem to be clearly motivated, working hard, anxious about their careers like i was. What motivates you today . You must be a adrenaline junkies. Where do you get it from today . I think when you like doing something, you do more of it. The more you do it, the more reason it gives you to like it. It, you spiral down. But the piece of advice i would give tenant any young kid who gets a job, you have to go in and you have to work harder. I always make sure i was the first one it in in the morning and a last one to leave in the afternoon. We talked about the fact that young people today say they do not want to work in banking, they want to work in tech. Remember, Mike Bloomberg left salomon brothers. Future wasthe technology. He started a tech business. Hes a tech guy. That is what bloomberg is. At this point today, 2014, 25 of employees at Goldman Sachs work in technology. It is not just old school salespeople, traders, and bankers. We are a Technology Firm and it does not stay still. On top of the technology needed to drive the business, you need technology to comply the business and to make sure that the difference is Risk Management and a couple of other layers to make sure everything you are doing is in good order. I think we first heard that from him in sports or length, and he means it because every him in from switzerland, and he means it. Fixed income etfs. Get to theer we electronic trading platforms across all businesses, the words it is for banks. They either need to get on top of it, get in front of it and embrace it, and they will take an Old School Approach saying they do not want to be in that business, the blackrock and pimcos of the world who have a produce year he responsibly for best execution, they will tell them to take a hike. Who will that hurt the most . The firms all based on relationships. If you are a fiduciary, you need to transact with the dealer they gives you the best price. Times have changed.

Only hota is not the ticket these days. Are you ready for this . Young people in the country are clamoring to get in on something that seems oh so retro. Massive attack ipos and global capitalism. Is this true . Arent they too cool for the markets . Thehey are joining communist party and rose. They are talking about Young Chinese people. The china edition is off the charts. The 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown. The communist party is doing just fine. The chart shows recruitment levels of University Students are at an alltime high. The bars track the number of students who are members, approaching 1. 20 5 million. Million. Ching 1. 20 5 they made a comeback in the mid 90s.

If you are a member of the communist party come you have a better chance of getting a job in the Public Sector come in which is seen as safe there which is seen as safer with benefits. Kind of like it is in the United States. It helps to have a Party Membership as well. A so this is not about political view, it is about a political aspiration.

Stay with us. Youre watching bloomberg tv. Market maker you are watching here on bloomberg television. Im Erik Schatzker. I almost said im Erik Schatzker. Amazing. Im stephanie ruhle. Im pretty sure about that. Highprofile recalls, one might expect sales of gm cars would be a bit off but customers are unfazed by the widely publicized series of recalls the company issued. The automaker just posted its best month in six years with sales up 13 in may, so were asking the question, why hasnt the recall scandal made more of an impact on dealership floors . Joining us for insight is chris malone, author of the human brand. By book focuses on recalls tylenol and other companies. It, isnt that americans except there will be recalls and there is danger on the road, and by a car anyway buy a car anyway . I dont think so. Our company has done Extensive Research on product recalls. When we looked at the fundamentals, it was not surprising that sales have not been impacted yet because the circumstances are different from what we saw in toyota in 2010. What do you mean by that, the circumstances are different . Research,d in the five factors drive how and when customers respond to recalls. First, awareness of the recall, severity of the risk posed, the proximity of the risk of the product on the shelves today, how they handle the recall, and then the reputation once the recall starts. With gm, it is the proximity of the risk. The models most affected have been off the shelves for the last four years, so customers do not feel the risk directly. The numbers clearly bear that out, gm sales are up for two percent last month, 13 last month, but it is a sign of the conventional wisdom. One would think that potential buyers would hear the car recall, and think, i will buy a ford. Found is theve reputation damage takes longer to filter into Consumer Behavior and the pattern that we are seeing with gm is actually more similar to that which we saw with lululemon, despite being in different categories. The impact was not seen until six or nine months later. We think thats the case with gm. How much does cost play a role here . Gm stem some of the reputational damage, potential damage to its sales by offering consumers more incentives, discounts, rebates, the sorts of things we saw a lot of before the financial crisis but have become scarcer as companies become better managed . They absolutely make an impact and we may see that later in the year it sales slowdown. I think they have been reluctant to do so because the models on the shelves now are not the focus of the recall. That is often a triedandtrue trick used in the Auto Industry and we may see some of it later. But we think there are a lot of shoes left to drop in this instance, and the damage on their reputation will still have an impact, but delayed. Will we hear about more incidences, more crashes . There are likely to be more congressional hearings. There was a report yesterday that as many as 74 deaths could be associated with this recall. There are victims whose names have not been released yet, stories that have not been told. An awful lot it to be really revealed about who knew what and when. Why does it take so long for this reputational damage to t
