stores, that is not helping anyone either. if all your growth is online, why are you keeping so many stores open? we ared coach saying closing 250 department stores. that is a roadmap for a company like macy's. one of the things that has weighed on macy's has been the strong dollar, not good for tourists coming to the u.s.. piece thatn your macy's should be more aggressive about going international. what do you see as the opportunity there? priority number one, but could be a priority down the road. they are finding success with stores in the middle east. macy's has a good brand name that foreign tourists love. scarlet: they are definitely

from those three countries. we don't need the oil. it is too much. the u.s. is shrinking as production in an oversupplied market, but it would take more than the u.s. to shrink production. with all this over production and the lack of spending capital, we are sitting ourselves -- setting ourselves up for a price rise in 2019 when the won't be oil that the world needs. scarlet: people are worrying about a supply shortage. investes would have to now when prices have not yet recovered to keep future oil flowing. $50 a barrel,low incentive toenough invest in capacity supply additions? >> that is what i meant by the higher prices in 2018 and 2019. there is not enough to keep investing now.

companies are not bringing in enough cash to pay for current production and invest in new production, so we are putting off the day at which time we will have sufficient oil to cover the demand of the world and setting up a crisis on the other side of the price spectrum. it will be a high-price crisis instead of a low-price crisis. instead, it will affect the global economy and be much more painful because people don't see the pain in the oil companies right now with some 400,000 people laid off with the deferral of hundreds of billions of dollars of spending, which affects everyone right back to the steel manufacturers and the supply chain, so it is a terrible time for the oil industry, but consumers are enjoying the consequences of overproduction. a point you made when you said oil nations need to get their heads together. where do you see the conflict

right now in terms of countries producing and knocking their heads together? how does they get resolved? is on the verge of collapse, nigeria is in trouble, other countries are in trouble who are members of opec. the saudi's rule the day because they have the most production capacity. the saudi's are on a geopolitical agenda to say to the russians and iranians, back off. the only weapon they have our oil prices. somehow the russians and iranians are not listening to the message, and the consequences saudi will keep producing and producing until they feel such a economic pain that they start to back off. you are hearing some rough edged talk about a production freeze. informal meeting will explore the prospect of a production freeze? signal, bute a

whether or not that happens, we will not know until it happens or doesn't. i understand the saudi's point of view. they feel a mortal threat in the region and cannot count on the u.s. for support. that is gone. not administration will support them, so they have to fight it on their own terms and their own manner. scarlet: you describe these crossed currents nicely. it is debatable how important or critical opec is. influence the cartels diminishing on oil prices? will the filings do more to move oil prices on a day to day basis than what opec says when opec meets? >> remembered that opec is some 30 million barrels a day. the u.s. is a .2 million barrels a day. in terms of the big swinger, opec remains the big swinger, led by saudi arabia, saudi aramco.

they will continue to be the big player out there. the u.s. can help with shale. we were at 9.2 million barrels a year or so ago, so we can help influence global oil prices, but still the big game in town is opec. opec is pretty well-controlled right now by the saudi agenda. probably as it should be. they are up around 11 million barrels a day. it is a lot of oil. producer,re a smaller you cannot tell saudi arabia what to do or not to do. joe: that was john hofmeister. speaking of energy, chesapeake energy has agreed to give up its barnett shale holdings, exiting the birthplace of the shale revolution. it will cut shipping and processing costs by 750 million
