we look at traditional advertising and media and the new digital space. is there a message there? >> i do not think there is a message in that. both sides are trying to say that this is as good as if they came together. why have they been spending 10 months trying to come together. publicis has admitted that during the course of these discussions, they created -- omnicom has admitted that publicis is better in a digital sense. it helps with the focus on markets. there was a slack first quarter, up strongly in april. the business as a whole is strong. i think we feel good about fast growth markets. digital is the second pillar. want them to, we be 45% of our business. real data we have a business. it is strong and growing. that is of fundamental import ance. fourth, getting our people to work together. those four propositions -- it may also say something about don draper is not dead. ego and -- ♪>> hold on. >> power is still important. >> i know you are in beijing. i need to get a straight answer from you. is joan dead?

apple has never purchased a brand this identifiable. apple is known for making small purchases of smaller companies. >> i definitely agree with that. a few things came to mind with the unconfirmed report. it became more widely distributed yesterday evening. initially, apple has a lot of cash. $151 billion in cash and investments. they also raised more in a debt offering. they are not lacking for resources. it is obvious that there is in race when itms comes to m&a. and apple is looking for -- ancillary areas to bolster and enhance their growth profile. applehael, you are an bull. kessler, why is this an interesting deal? >> i would be interested in his comments about displacing digital by streaming. online streaming has gone from 10% to 25 or 30%. digital is declining. i think that is the future and the market will react. >> this is about itunes and the lack thereof. >> right. the way to think about it is two things. one, if you go back 3-5 years, clearly, the download was a lot growthcepted and a category. there has been a shift where streaming is a lot more appealing in terms of growth and additional opportunities. the tother thing is -- when you look at apple's businesses, the itunes business was doing well. they have businesses in place. the other thing is car play, which they rolled out recently. >> scott, what does this say about tim cook? is, fromk what it says the beginning, we have indicated that tim cook will be a more ceo thannal type of steve jobs was. we have seen that in terms of tim cook being willing to allocate capital to a dividend. he has done a number of things on the m&a front. also, i think that he is more open to considerations from ot hers. >> i am listening to "lose your self." >> are we playing that on air? scott, are you factoring this into your members? does this boost their revenue for the year? >> i think it is way too early to incorporate this into our thinking about apple. at this point, it is an unconfirmed report. we will wait to see if apple comes out with a release indicating they are moving forward with this. we do not know what the business model is for beats electronics. >> ra. thank you for joining us. he is the head of tech research at s&p. that brings us to the twitter question of the day. why does apple need dr. dre?

>> carrie is an expert. i believe it could put them out of business. that is not a good thing. cadre will and his not go that extra step. they will do things short of that. on the other hand, there is a broader issue. these are two non-u.s. banks. why do they go after the shareholder's money? those are my two issues. >> carrie -- this notion that a bank would fail, would be forced out of business. it is an assumption that has not been tested. >> right. >> that is why this is such a big deal. we do not know what is going to happen. cases are big cases. they have gotten a lot of attention. we do not know if they will charge the parent companies or holding companies are different subsidiaries. there are ways to shield the bank from complete fallout or collateral damange. >> if you had a cocktail and you're talking to somebody. single piece of information i need to know abou ttt this criminal issue? what has your issue -- curisotiy here/ ? >> will they get a guilty plea with the settlement? >> that is what credit suisse wants. >> they want to have a sealed deal. we will sue a happens. weather creates counter party risk. >> if there were an indictment, that is potentially a far worse situation. that is probably not the most likely scenario. they will have some kind of deal done on this. are they going to get a guilty plea? >> this is tim geithner with the book rollout. wonder if this is locking on this issue. i'm fascinated by the phone calls going on between the justice and the prosecutors. >> keri, you mentioned that we do not know what is going to happen. what this justice want to happen? are they putting u.s. banks in the same position? >> this is what everyone is calling a test condition. if they can survive and they keep going, we might see the justice department to more of this. that is the case, why do we need to keep going down this path? would we have to do to deter bad behavior of banks? what isdoes not do it, the next step that the justice department will have to take? >> how bothered are you by the hypocrisy on display by the justice department here? for the benefit of the viewers, case.t the hsbc they settled a couple of years ago. failures,t of these at least 881 million dollars in drug trafficking proceeds -- including drug trafficking by the cartel in mexico, were laundered through hsbc bank without being detected. and there is more. >> so let me translate. >> hsbc was outrageous and what they did. this is not even close. we're talking about putting a company out of business. >> why is hsbc not involved? ago, the department of justice supported the idea that banks were too big to jail. we are seeing something different now. the complete sea change from them. whether these conditions are worse, i do not know. >> maybe hsbc is too big to jail. >> that is a possibility too. >> this is lewis carroll stuff. this is a government. let's go back in history -- 10,000 peoplen, lost their jobs for the malfeasance of 10 people. regulators went nuts. arthur andersen did not do that that of the job. 10,000 jobs were limited. >> i believe that the supreme court validated that. >> 10,000 people lost their jobs and they did nothing. bad, you have hsbc, truly actors. none of the bad actors for -- were indicted. >> island about the context. the financial system cannot withstand a criminal indictment. wouldn't this trip up the ece onomy? >> the government shied away from coming down on banks hard during the financial crisis. these are both foreign banks. the banks we have seen in trouble, including jp morgan, which has paid off fines, is us bank. these cases have nothing to do with the financial crisis. if people are still wanting to ion, these cases do not necessarily match up. >> and know you are in a difficult position. let mr. holland said is critical. is this a shakedown? >> we will have to see. we have to see what happens to these two banskks. see how they operate. >> people have described the approach on jp morgan as a shakedown. >> it does make sense. jpmorgan got in a lot of trouble for a lot of things. there were a lot of issues spread out there. the criticism is, of course, that money comes out of shareholder value. it does not deter future bad behavior. what does it take to get banks to fall in line with how shareholders want them to operate? and how the public wants them to participate? >> when do we have a resolution? when do i get to start talking about this? >> probably a couple of weeks. >> not two years/ ?

what is next for these two big companies? >> i think both of them will have to stay out of dealmaking mode for a while. they have lost their license to do that bubbly after taking their investors and employees down this track for the better part of a year. there is no question there will be consolidation in the ad space and because if you talk to people in these big companies, they see the likes of google, facebook, twitter, apple, that's who they are worried about so they need scale. >> thank you so much. hamm -- thison on "market hamm makers." >> this is no longer the 1960's. >> it's not even 2005. it's all digital space. >> i wonder how the customers feel. they were confused when the deal was going to happen because the competitors thought they were the same company. are they breathing a sigh of relief?
