1:01 pm
over before they get a nuclear weapon. cory: huckabee who ran for president in 2008 and ran for victory in the iowa caucuses is the sixth republican to declare for the race. the service industries in the united states growing at a faster pace in april according to the supply non-management index. it is the highest level since november. consumer spending gaming exit part to springtime weather and low gas prices. greece is blaming creditors for the stalemate in bailout talks. greek officials and the imf and european officials are confronting the country with too many red lines and need to better correlate their message. there is fear is that the country is not moving fast enough to move on to more aid. bill mcdermott says his company has zero interest in buying sales. in orlando, he says "we've never bought something that was
1:02 pm
impaired or on the decline." there was a report of sales deal with salesforce. they are now working with advisers. a memorial service for the ceo of surveymonkey dave goldberg. he is the husband of facebook coo sheryl sandberg. he fell off a treadmill in mexico. it was ruled an accident by mexican authorities. disney released its second quarter earnings. his wife is a member of the disney board. a lot of disney executives will be attending today service. turning to disney's numbers. the company is firing on all sold them theirs. that's cylinders. frozen -- there's lots of frozen in these numbers. the gains are up 10%. revenues are up 7%. $12.5 billion.
1:03 pm
movies are poised to play a bigger role in disney's business in the next year. "avengers: age of ultoron" have the second-biggest the mystic weekend oh -- domestic weekend of all time. also star wars episode seven. here is ceo bob iger. >> the excitement around this movie is unlike anything we have ever seen before. the new trailer have more than 88 million views in the first one in four hours and has more than 200 billion views today. cory: a fascinating business. someone who has taken a look at this is our bloomberg news reported. we also have chris who covers it for bloomberg news. chris, let me start with you. with the numbers pretty much across the board pretty impressive, might as well start with "frozen." what do you got ge? >> people used to joke that the
1:04 pm
company should change their name to yes pm because the cable networks were so powerful. but they were down this quarter and what lifted it was a lot of other things. "frozen" which came out in 2013 is still having an impact on the business. merchandising sales were up 10% in the quarter. although they had a dvd release and laster, the sum studio business was down, but you are seeing at spill over into other parts of different companies. . whatcory: what is your big take away gek? >> i'm not surprised. the analysts were all saying by and hold. even right before this came out a couple of people from citigroup and others all raised their earnings expectations and raise their share price up to $125 and $127 over the next 12 months or so. everyone is saying this is going to pop and it didn't. cory: that if the stock.
1:05 pm
i don't care about stock. i'm adjusted in the disney business. when they report abuse result across the board, theme parks for example, were doing really well. >> they rose in the quarter european i think the number was five under 66 million. that is half $1 billion worth of revenue coming from these resorts. disney did not break the 100 -- did break the $100 ticket barrier for its part in orlando. a lot more people are buying things while they are in the park as well. cory: the only disconcerting note -- you mentioned espn. they call it programming costs. i call it college football. was it the sec? what hit them in this quarter that was a bigger expense that espn would like? >> they specifically cited college football and the nfl wild-card games and the launch of the new sec network, which you would notice is the southeastern conference and not
1:06 pm
the security exchange commission. cory: they both play tough knows games. to your point, espn was such a central business for disney and continues to be certainly. but we see what is happening the sports in america and we see the rising costs of programming. one wonders if espn is going to keep the lead and continue to fight off comcast. is that going to come at a great expense, is there a possibility that espn is permanently different? >> they posted revenue numbers. they were up 18% at espn. all the numbers in tv which people think of now are really strong. it is obviously a concern for bob iger. he talked about these new skinny cable bundles on the call. it is more of a programming cost issue than it is a revenue question. cory: exactly. thank you very much.

you have been in that seat for 20 years. >> well, we are very pleased with our long-term growth. chuck articulated very well yesterday. he is very comfortable with the vision and strategy. we are winning in the market and our customers get that. the where with our top channel partners last week. this is 85% of our business. they buy the vision and strategy. he is probably going to make some tweaks to that. where he things we can improve on and i absolutely agree with him is that he is an execution the scene. -- machine. he wants to get these pieces working together and realign resources in terms of opportunity to where the growth is it areas like security and software. stephanie: what is the biggest piece of unfinished business that you are handing off to him that he will attack and execute from the get-go? >> what's going to be exciting is that we have a chance to replay the information age where cisco's leadership in the internet during the 1990's
1:09 pm
howard our growth change our country, changed every business. you're going to see an instant replay with every country, every city, every business becoming digital. either change, disrupt, or you die. you get left behind. chuck believe that and i think he will do a great job on it. i was there during the information age. he believed during the digital age. cory: i watched you skillfully negotiate between the falcons and democrats and cisco has sold well to the government. when you look at your fixture -- future, many people in the silicon valley look at politics and want to have an impact. is that something that interests you? >> it does interest me but you have a problem. i'm a moderate republican who likes democrats. i like to work with both sides. technology needs to be agnostic. the interesting thing about government is that our country is becoming a digital country. we are behind germany, france u.k. china, india on this. it will power the next generation of job creation

1:16 pm
>> we sell it primarily online through our own website. it is a website available in many countries around the world. there are a few partners as well. >> you're selling it at cost. it is about growth and getting people drawn into the xiaomi story. what is the xiaomi story? we have seen a financial growth. you sold 240,000 in the third quarter of 2011. you have now grown to 17.4 million handsets sold for the fourth quarter of 2014. that is exponential growth and then some. >> we are in internet company. we are traveling at internet -- growing at internet speeds if you will. people see a smartphone vendor as a hard phone -- hardware manufacturer. we are not. we make phones as well, but we make software as well as forms. -- phones. we are building an internet connected platform. we arty have 100 million users on that platform alone. it is a very different kind of

company and that is why we have to keep up. >> you are also taking over the home apparently. i guess this is part of the strategy of putting low-cost cost phones and people hands -- in people's hands. you are building that ecosystem right now. >> that is a good way to look at it. we are an internet company and we are building a platform for internet connected services. it is very important for us to build internet connected devices and the home is the perfect place for the fact where technology has not arrived yet. companies have not been able to build compelling enough products for the home and the way that films invaded ecosystem. we have launched a whole range of products for the home from a series of smart tvs, which are beautiful by the way all the way to an area purify her. we have security cameras. we have a bunch of different things -- awaits go. yet even designed a power strip. we saw what it power strip would

1:19 pm
we have invested in dozens of startups today. the idea is to be a veteran investor, but it is always great when a company does well. but also to build this ecosystem. and a lot of our products, like the mi band, was built by this ecosystem of startups that we helped create. in a way, we are actually multiplying the sphere of products that we are building by getting other startups that we know to do it for us. cory: that is hugo barras xiaomi's bp of global operations. apple may be updating its design of the tv remote. a company moving away from an alyssum could mean -- minimalism could mean customers coming up next. ♪

cory: this is "bloomberg west." i am cory johnson. apple rush to interesting items. the tv business -- a redesign of their tv remote. they are unveiling it at a developers conference next month according to a report from "the new york times." also revisiting the music practice. they're are pushing music labels to take their music from streaming places like spotify. just what will the new service look like and does this remote even matter that? alexandrina from san francisco. let's look at remote thing first. -- alex joins me from san francisco. let's look at the remote thing first. is this what was alluded to in the steve jobs biography? >> it seems like we have been down this path before when we have been expecting an update
1:24 pm
only to be disappointed in the end i a lackluster refresh or no change in all. this time, there seems to be enough anecdotal signs that we are coming into a new remote and hopefully a new interface as well for apple tv. it is really about time for apple. it has fallen grossly behind in this market. you just has to go boris on from xiaomi. they have done a great job proliferating the internet of things in the homes. they have smart tvs out. apple really does need to make some moves here. it would be really nice to see . cory: one has to wonder cross platforms. the apple remote works on the computer. if you pointed it in the wrong direction, you pointed and turn something on it off. >> i don't think so. jmp securities believe in the internet. cory: everyone at jmp? >> we do.
1:25 pm
we are talking about almost 15 billion connected devices today. it is not too far away until we see the next 15 billion connected devices. if you think about what apple can do a bounce mark to be with and play, as you point out, the internet connectivity to the pc and the mac. all that comes in to play for apple. we don't think that they can give this up. i think in the same fashion that they came out with apple watch. obviously a device whose features haven't yet fully matured to the point where you wanted to be, but they have got to be in that market. yes, cory, we do think they are going to do some refresh is here. hopefully this summer. cory: i'm glad to see guys all get along over there and share this common thoughts. let us turn now to music. apple was, for brief while, the dominant company in music and maybe the world. maybe no longer but it is interesting that their strategies would be garnering unwelcome attention. >> we will have to see what they
1:26 pm
are doing on that front. a little more than a year ago they got themselves into trouble in the e-books arena. hopefully, they learn some lessons from that as they go about trying to transform the music industry debt again. they have learned something from that and can do it in a more elegant way. we don't know what they're doing, but it's good to know that there are watch guards like the doj to protect consumer rights. it is also not as nice to know that there are innovators out there like apple who are tried to improve things for people and get artist paid. cory: it is what it's all about. getting someone paid so they can keep making it. we need to get paid though so we're going to commercial. we appreciate your time. coming up next, periscope. was that the actual winner of the fight on saturday? not mayweather, not manny pacquiao, but periscope. a tool for piracy -- could that be at risk for twitter? we will discuss when "bloomberg west" continues. ♪
