yet again. the country must make a payment of 1.8 billion dollars to the international monetary fund this month starting on friday. the talks included the german chancellor and french president anderson to be taking place in berlin to hammer out a proposal that would be presented to greece as it only realistic chance of avoiding default. the former head of european bank morganh and global -- i stanley says there is a need for greece to eventually need the euro. >> the key issue today is there is a constant bank run. greek voters are voting against their own government because every month, they pull out about 2 billion euros and the ecb has to keep replenishing the liquidity. eventually, this has to stop.
3:07 pm
what i find it very hard as the average spanish, french, italian and german family has already length about 2000 euros to greece. that has already happened. and theyly, on average got very little back in terms of reform. have canceledhey increasedion and minimum salary. most of the reforms have happened at as a result, it's very hard for politicians elected democratically to say here is more money against what? the only ones, keeping it alive is the ecb. you have the bank run which is what has happened for the last six months. >> are greek depositors acting rationally? asking for, they are
3:08 pm
more money and putting it back into germany or russia. , justre acting rationally in case. ownhe same time, their politicians keep asking for more money, so there is a risk that greece becomes a lack: where european taxpayers put their money in. there is still quite some money left in the banks. why would you keep money in the greek egg? the possibility of opening a bank account abroad probably already has done so. people will only have a greek bank account because the cost of opening a bank account abroad outweighs the savings they have and as a result, they don't.
3:09 pm
what is the key issue in my view greece, as a system has so far done very little in terms of reform. had on the table a credible offer from the chinese which could account for greek gdp and they canceled that. they want to invest in greece, creating employment and creating jobs on the same argument that the prices and fair. take it, get the economy going clearly someone is investing and they have to make their own returns. >> is greece a smokescreen for other european leaders? >> i came to the conclusion that 2011, theback in european institution didn't have
3:10 pm
the shield to deal with greece. hence we were at risk of the reflexivity trade. then, we have to create a hospital room, and emergency room. so you created this institution with shield. greece is at a lehman brothers moment act in 2009 with an opposite result. to relieve the euro so that the remaining rest of the euro can say we had a failure, we need to exit and we will see what it means to be outside the euro. greece goes well, we probably shouldn't the in the euro. at the end of the day, are we better off without?

3:15 pm
grow by 7%. last year, he said is going to be around 8% that set off the lack oft capacity constraint the airlines have expressed in the last two years, that maybe that era was over, but there seems to be some reassurance on that front. we are looking at available seat miles for southwest. that's a measure of capacity and over the past couple of years, we have not seen it grow by much, just .5%. whether it is 7% or 8%, is going to be the biggest gain we've seen since 2011. is it a new europe? like southwest might be backing off the plan to some extent. pressured mean pricing for these companies and that's why there has been concern on that. i love that chart.

3:18 pm
the setting was nice and toned down, but it was kind of low energy, not big on specifics, and seemed more like a personal moment for him as a guy who would like to be president, but not the launch of any sort of movement. if you look at the people who look strong this cycle, their announcements were more high octane and more directed toward forming a national movement rather than having a personal moment. wind up takingou away from the most? has actuallytimes chosen the correct republican runner except for once in the 90's. mark: except for newt gingrich, taken the right nominee. i think if he is in the race and does a good job over the next two months, he could make the primary move and be the winner.
3:19 pm
i'm not sure how much second place would be worth. he also has the potential to be a kingmaker if he decides to run the race and then give his endorsement to someone, that could make a big difference. there's no front runner in south carolina. jeb push or marco rubio it could be anybody. .t's an unusual actor you have to go back to 1992 and tom harkin running for the democratic nomination to find one of these favorite son candidates and look at how that shapes at the dynamics. i want to talk about the results of the new bloomberg and "des moines register" poll. tell us about whether you were surprised by any of them. mark: scott walker, who gave a splashy speech, is leading on the republican side. that's a bit of a surprise since

3:32 pm
transaction on intel comes on the acquisition of broadcom, the largest ever in the semi conductor space. it adds to a record year of industry consolidation. guest: if you back out the cash altera has on the balance sheet the purchase price is more like $14 billion. intel would argue it is a defensive move that will help protect their turf and servers which accounts for about 50% of the profits. having said that, when we run the numbers, the deal looks like it's only about 2% or 3% accretive to intel posco earnings, which isn't very much. they are buying a business that has been under some pressure the last few years. why then did intel feel it

a lot of the deals we are seeing done at the moment are about putting that mode around what you already have in making it eager and stronger. deals and -- is the expectation we will see more semi deals? i think so. there's always been a huge amount of speculation that we will see this or this. we have seen since the beginning of 2013 to almost the end of the , one quarter this year billion dollars of reported deals in the semi space and then we have this deal. we've gone from almost nothing to this huge hit already. who's next? is tough to speculate on specific combinations, but we believe qualcomm needs to do a deal in this space.

although it should be noted, not moving up to the offer price. the offer price, $54 a share in cash. we were talking to our bloomberg intelligence analyst about why that might be. he said it's not exactly clear why it isn't closer to $54. on the other and of the s&p 500, we have wynn -- macau gaming revenue came out and show the 12 consecutive decline in revenue for that region. they get about two thirds of their revenue from macau, so those revenues are off. to illustrate more what i am talking about, take a look at my bloomberg terminal. is the games of fortune gross revenue and this is a five-year chart. climb and a big everyone piled into macau.

an issue to debate? there are probably workarounds, but how important is it? not necessarily that important. we have been documenting the huge shift in u.s. intimate when it comes to this from 9/11 to this day 14 years later. an interesting point -- if you are a terrorist -- it seems public opinion is weighing on the side of we do not want this data collected about us that the reality is this program is going to go back into place. is the senate it proposing and how will the house look at those? alix: you will be talking about google and online education with runstian done -- sebastian -- thrun. annalee: a big partnership

3:52 pm
all, how important are these consumers and how much of a percentage do they actually make up? if we look at the henry's and of people who are rich, that demographic makes up a disproportionate share, so it really matters what they are doing to impact the rest of the economy. while it is a dangerous term to drop out there, trickle-down, that's how major parts of the economy function. create a lot of jobs and economic activities for the lower echelon. supposedly, they are spending 10% less in the fourth quarter than they did in 2013 in the fourth quarter. so let's look at the stock they might buy. i was looking at the s&p global luxury index.

3:55 pm
you have to allen's out how much of it is the economy or just not being on point stylewise and how much is the broader economic trend? guest: julie is hitting an important idea here -- the micro versus the macro. any personal income and spending data, we see a shift toward service spending. consumption of durable goods and nondurable goods actually declined in the most recent report and services barely got a game. but we are seeing a shift here where people are paying for experience as opposed to tangible goods. structural or cyclical shift? guest: i don't know what it is. i'm still convinced the backup we saw in the savings rate of the first part of this year is not going to be sustained.
