scarlet fu. joe: and i am joe weisenthal. the question is, what did you miss? scarlet: president trump says he will pull out of the iran nuclear deal for the highest level of sanctions against that country. and disney reports fiscal second-quarter results next hour. and disney could have some competition in its bid for fox comcast, setting up for a potential rival bid. we speak to the disney ceo and 4:00 p.m.ob iger at julia: new york time. julia:-- 4:00 p.m. new york time. julia: what'd you miss? president trump has pulled out of the iranian nuclear deal, and he decided also to reinstate sanctions on iran. this decision is a policy of the

obama administration, and it sparked immediate reaction from leaders around the world and on capitol hill. the vice-chairman for kissinger associates, jim strugger. i am stumbling around. it is great to have you with us. this was telegraphed. i guess, what happens now to the iranian nuclear deal? jim: well, that is one of the big questions, what next? the question is what do you do do?, what does iran do they continue the work with the other countries, the signatories, including three american allies? and then the second question is what do the others do. is about secondary

sanctions, which penalize companies, those who buy oil from iran, foreign banks that do business with iran, and anyone who trades with iran, utilizing american dollars. these are all very complicated issues, and we will not really know the answers until the regulations are put out as to actually what this means in practice, but it could be very divisive for our allies. it is very harmful to american companies that have utilized and those that have lifted sanctions, and they're not many of them. for example, the airlines have. not many of them, for example, the airlines have. start activating centrifuges again, start doing research again, and they get werer to a bomb than they

before. they were really stymied, at least for 10 years and beyond, but now what will they do? not necessarily to develop a bomb, but most certainly to develop nuclear capability and, perhaps, a bomb. scarlet: it opens pandora's box, certainly. we heard from the president , saying the agreement is between five countries, excluding the u.s., and it was said any nation would be naïve to negotiate. a message like with korea and kim jong-un. is no plan for nuclear agreement, either all or nothing. that is it. the iranians want to keep the agreement with the five other countries, china, russia, britain, france, and germany. scarlet: and the eu.

bob: they are a major player. the question is, will they be willing to do this? the iranians will be willing to do this, i think, if they can succeed in avoiding any interruption in trade or finance or oil sales with the other countries. on the other hand, if american sanctions make it difficult for european companies, european banks, and european world companies, in particular, to do business there, then the iranians say, what good is this? we can work with them, but we are going to get hurt indirectly by the ricochet effect, so there are a lot of people in iran who did not like the deal anyway, and they will come back and say, we are not getting anything out of this. we have to resume our nuclear program as we did for. joe: -- as we did before. joe: bob, is there anything kim jong-un takes away from this

use in the upcoming negotiations? is there anything the iranian regime can learn from this recent use in the upcoming elevation of kim jong-un, and they sort of figure out what they want to do next? it will makethink it more suspicious that the u.s. will adhere to the agreements that are reached, but the interesting thing for the united states, which puts this administration in a more comic in position, they have to -- they criticize the iran deal -- which puts this ministration in a more difficult position, they have criticized -- this in a moretion difficult position. they have criticized the iranian deal. criticized as doing something , so even athe iran longer term set of provisions. they have to do a number of things for even greater

visibility, so it raises the bar on the trump administration the north, makes with the and i think that is something they have to bear in mind, but it certainly will raise doubts in kim's mind about american reliability, but public opinion -- it makes the president have to be tougher eve or than the iran, and that might be difficult. julia: with each of the players here -- excuse me, to fixate on here, what islly in their best interest? when you're looking at the tensions they are facing with the saudi's, with the israelis, with the scaling up of the tensions with the united states, what is the best reaction, given the domestic reaction at home, too? bob: the problem is there are different groups in iran. there is the revolutionary guard and the mullahs.

on the other hand, if the iranians believe they can keep the part of the deal that exists with the europeans and the russians and the chinese and keep trade going, keep their investment going, keep oil sales to them, there might be an to them, there might be an incentive to continue with the agreement, and some have said they would do that. if, on the other hand, american sanctions make it virtually impossible for the europeans to do business with them, and the iranians say, well, we are not getting any business out of this. businesses being cut that because they are putting pressure on american allies, france, germany, britain, then the hardliners are going to say, doingly are the americans this, but the secondary sanctions are hurting us. julia: no incentive to allow them to continue without the united states in this nuclear deal then, in this case?

bob: yes, and that is why koran -- why macron and mebob:rkel and others have said do not get out of this deal. it will indirectly affect those countries and create tension between the u.s. and its allies, and while we're talking about lessons, the japanese and the south koreans and others, the allies in asia are going to say how do we know what the americans are going to do? this would lead to adverse implications to us? rmats, withb ho kissinger associates, thank you. bob: thank you. up, breakingng ground as one of the non-binary actors, asia kate dillon. this is bloomberg. ♪

this? asia: well, the feedback i get, not only from people who stop me on the street but also on social is very. there are people who say i identify as non-binary or trance, and having you as someone i can look up to has changed my life. i get messages from parents who say they did not know how to interact with their child, you once having the conversation about changing or transitioning gender identity, and having taylor or me as a andrence is extraordinary, i often get messages from people who say, and i am pair of eyes a -- i paraphrase in, i am 62 and i often get messages from people whoyears old, and i have never heard of this before, -- i am paraphrasing, i am 62 years old, and i have never heard of this before, and i am following you now. that is extraordinary.

pronouns as opposed to the gender specific "he" or "she." how is this helping or impeding social progress? toa: i use that as opposed he or she or many other options. labels, as we know, can be very hurtful when other people label us without our permission, but when we label ourselves, that can be really free. scarlet: in addition to taylor on "millions," you have also been on "orange is the new black." i would like you to contrast these two shows. one has a very diverse cast, a lot of female directors, and the other is often male protagonists with a woman often caught between them. pickedou certainly have

one of the differences between the shows. i have to say there were more similarities than differences. both of those shows really welcomed me with open arms. "orange" was my first series, and i would say "aliens" is my television family, which is "billions" would say is my television family, which allowed me to ultimately take the work very seriously and take our jobs very seriously. scarlet: final question. what is your ideal role? my gosh. i believe strongly in the power of manifestation. i think i will keep those cards close to my chest. n, thank asia hate dillo you, actor on "billions." in the region,0%

to be getting, they are getting traction as far as their actions are concerned, but m&a remains one of the questions with what we see with fox assets. >> yes, number one, m&a. are they going to find themselves in a bidding war? then the second issue is just more operational. their core media businesses, the cable businesses, which have been the driving value, clearly challenged by the court cutting cord cuttingthe issue, so investors, the traditional, over-the-counter, direct to consumer products -- they have been slow. espn, it did not get going fast enough, but it's still got traction and will start to move. -- it still got traction and will start to move.

other aspects of media, all of the money netflix is spending to buy show runners. does this worry you, the spend side? for disney. four other players, absolutely. other players, absolutely. disney has no shortage of content. they would even benefit more if they can and have getting the fox assets, as well. scarlet: and the increased resources will flow in. increasing 13rts percent, operating income increasing 27%. disney is hitting this consistently with this part of the business. l: this is a part of the business that does not get a lot of interest from wall street. there is consistent double-digit income. does take a lot of capital,

but the returns on capital have been very, very strong. the most recent would be shanghai. they got 11 million visitors in the first year. now, we see the comcast universal business, they are now doubling their investment upcoming in beijing. that really validates, i think, the investment that disney made years ago. disney was first to china, and will continue to be a very good investment for them. there is still a tremendous a lot of growth in china. all most the day after they announced more expansion in shanghai, so they continue to invest in their parks both in florida and california, as well. even paris has turned around after 15 or 20 years of underperformance, and it is not just disney. we have seen good results out of comcast and some of the independent players, so it is one of the experiences of the millennial crowd, theme parks. and the merchandising,

absolutely necessary in the context that this company has great assets already and is thriving and has great opportunity, even in a media landscape or media world that is transforming itself right before our eyes. that said, we believe in increasing our intellectual property profile as a company. we believe in increasing the technology that we have as a company that enables us to reach more people are more compelling ways, and we believe in diversify more geographically, and those fox assets achieve all three things, so when you look at the combination of the two, meaning the 21st century fox assets that we are buying and the disney assets that we already have and what we are seeing in the landscape, we think there is a very, very compelling proposition for the shareholders of both the disney company and of 21st century fox, which is why the 21st century fox board gave the deal we made unanimous approval. it willou are confident

away from it. expect thedo you iranians to respond and the europeans and the countries that remain in the deal to respond? sen. cardin: i have seen the response from the germans and they basicallys, said let's stay calm and stay in the agreement. want to make sure iran does not violate its nuclear provisions and get that sanctions and relief that it is entitled. the europeans are going to continue to encourage iran and other players to stay in the nuclear agreement. how iran response, i don't think we know. initially they are going to be strong in saying the united states is the violator and i expect them to take the international institutions that are available to hear their grievances. i think it will try to isolate america. continuemake sure we to focus on iran's activities

and make sure they never become a nuclear weapons eight and make sure we deal with their other activities. joe: you have said earlier that withdrawal of the u.s. from this agreement with isolated united states. this is a charge levied against this administration. the number of agreements and general idea that the u.s. is increasingly going it alone, whether it is climate or trade or various other things. what are the practical ramifications in your view down the road from this isolation on various fronts? america is stronger when we work with our partners and have unity in the global community. the u.s. is being isolated. the trump policy of america first is america alone, and we are not going to be as effective dealing with world problems. change or is climate preventing a country from becoming a nuclear weapons state like iran.

we are going to be less effective when work by ourselves. made ashe decision is far as the president is concerned. how does he now ensure that a better and improved deal is ultimately signed? what leverage can be pressed upon and used your as far as the iranians is concerned? the president alluded, is it extreme sanctions that can exist in a trading relationship with the chinese, russians, europeans? it seems the president and the u.s. can create the u.s. can create a situation where iran has zero choice. sen. cardin: is going to be very difficult. we knew when we first past the sanctions would only become effective if we had the support of our allies, particularly the europeans. we need the support of the asians in order to really isolate iran. we have seen the statements of the europeans that they intend

to honor the nuclear agreement, so they intend to continue their sanction relief and economic relations with iran. it going to be very difficult put pressure on iran when we have isolated ourselves from our european partners. far as the yes a ministration relationship with north korea is concerned, clearly it is early, but the president alluded in his press conference and we saw the same kind of destabilizing behavior and aggressive behavior towards north korea. it look at the situation, seems on the surface it is improving. why can't we have a familiar situation with the iranians? i think you are dealing with different circumstances. in iraq we have specters on the ground and we know iraq was complying with limitations -- iran was complying with limitations.

the agreement was working from the point of view of how it was intended to work. in north korea we don't have inspectors on the ground and we don't know the extent of the nuclear program and tapioca merits as to what they're going no meritshe future -- as to what they're going to do in the future, there is no military option is acceptable in north korea so we have to find a diplomatic answer. julia: thank you for your insight. democratic member of the senate foreign relations committee. by steven englander is saying don't waste the dollars privilege and who talk to the head of strategy at 50 capital next. this is new york and this is bloomberg. i got it right this time. ♪

julia: the rest is at the service level of 2018 and what it means for more, we are joined by stephen engle iander. both calls, and that is end of the second quarter, what is your take on short-term dollar bullishness we are seeing? steven: there is nothing to stop the dollar from going up and i think what we are seeing is the fed constantly reiterating its bullishness on the economy and bullishness on rate hikes. the data of europe is soft and they think the market -- i think the underlying european economy is a soft as they think it is. for now what we are seeing is the market beginning to set aside the geopolitical issues

constantly haunted the dollar last year the first couple of months of this year. for once we are focusing on what the fed is doing and what the economy is doing. joe: as he said, there's nothing to indicate the fed is going to slow down or reduce its estimates of the economy. we keep getting disappointed on the datation front, last week was fine but nothing special. what do you make of the data we see lately and does there come a point or inflation doesn't really gather steam that we could see a rethink on the part of the fed? steven: i think the wage data last month was done by ace couple of special factors. there are three good things happening in the economy, the fact we are seeing so many minority workers hired is

tremendous, socially and economically. $.75 on the dollar relative to the average that they are holding down the pace of wage inflation because the hiring we are seeing is at the low end of the wage gap and not the high-end. about the market reaction we saw in light of the last fed meeting because we saw a shift as far as the growth outlook is concerned in the might of investors. edition of this symmetric word, at this point in the cycle, how since this should they be as far as inflation is concerned, considering the risk of the downside in this point of the cycle? steven: i think they are paying too much attention to inflation and the fed is sending a signal that they are going to be tolerant of higher inflation. there is a case that says, if you actually think there are

factors and the age of the -- everybody has bought cars and we have eight years to buy capital equipment, the odds are we have enough of that stuff. if you think a downturn is ofing, the fed has 1% disinflation in its pocket. julia: you have to let it overshoot. steven: you can ask the question if we have a downturn tomorrow, where would inflation and up? we would be back at 1.3 or 1.5 before we know it. the fed nieces buffer if they actually want to average 2% over the cycle. joe: you make an interesting point in a note in the last fed decision. under thepeople are mistaken impression the fed has a next her crystal ball about the economy or they have more data than everyone else has so they know more.

can you explain that analytical errors people make? of the forecast is based on the same economic data we have. the new yorkeen fed forecaster a long time ago, i can tell you i was not much better than anybody in the markets. is allot like there these fed economists and they have a multiple of the data that the economy has come at they have the same data everyone else does and they are similar models to what the major houses use. there's not much more information and what they are saying, if you can look at the metric models and technical models that they use to take all the quarterlyata, and monthly numbers and weekly numbers and come up with a forecast.

the forecast can diverge fight 1.5 percentage points, so it is hard to forecast the economy, at that if you add another dozen economists using the same data and get a better forecast. joe: big picture, do you in the domestic economy right now that concerns you about slowdown or in terms of the steady-state we are in, is it going to continue? steven: i think the market was too pessimistic over the winter. i think now we are unwinding that pessimism. i would say the biggest risk to is if it turns out the economy is slowing down and we come to a business cycle and is a lot of inflation that the fed has to tighten rapidly, or because the economy is falling apart. i think the market would look beyond the short-term indications and say, well,

similar to a fed that is easing. the one question you want to ask yourself before you buy yourself dollars is if the business cycle is going to an income soon. if you think the business cycle can continue that you should be a dollar buyer because it means the forces that powell keeps talking about, the tightening and interest rates, will favor the u.s.. pointsalso make great about the dollar and trade and the dollar selling off and still like yes assets. a great tease for what will discuss. steven englander is sticking with us. from new york, this is bloomberg. ♪

julia: steven englander at rafiki capital, you mentioned initial international system reacts in funny ways in the couldn't agree more as far as the behavior of the rest dollars concern and the impact it has come up whether it is for earnings or exports. how tight is it and how good is it that the weak dollar is a boost for u.s. exports? if you talk about volume, in the short-term it is a weak tool and the dollar has to be week for a number of years before it has a discernible impact. what it does do immediately is due earnings because of translation effects, but it doesn't create jobs, it makes shareholders happy. it is something, but i don't think it is a strong tool as advertised. julia: if you talk about a soft

eakness,ollar or w ,here to come up trade policy how relevant is it at current levels and what we need to see in order for it to boost? to go a mile, as the going there quickly, and has to stay there. will see the difference in two or three years down the road. isargue that all it takes from 120 two 125 comment would be ridiculous and one ca a second decimal point in gdp growth. to otherhat apply major currencies, i think about the euro and a strong euro earlier contributed to some of the modest economic decelerations, by doesn't it sound like that would fit the story you tell about major currencies.

steven: i think it applies to the euro to a greater degree because the euro is somewhat a more open economy and the eurozone is more open than the u.s. by and large it is the same. if you look at the elde airplanes they sell and the benefit show up in production, it takes a long time. it is something that is visible. if you are a worker it sounds good since you are more competitive, but the translation of competitiveness to boots in factories is way less than conventionally thought. joe: how concerned should people be about increasing stories about pressure rising in emerging markets, whether it is argentina, the turkish lira hitting a record low, is something bubbling in emerging markets that is bigger in macro

stories thatolated are distinct and localized? are weakight now these hands in the em getting hurt, which is kind of the good news that it doesn't seem to be across the board in any degree of intensity. i think the bad news is that it is happening at such a low level powell and the fed have signaled there is more to go. because he more pressure down the road and i think this is the late stage of the business cycle is when you want to see a weaker dollar. issue at it as a global at what you don't want to see is a higher rate translating into pressure on indebted countries that have week positions -- weak positions. ifcould get further bad news

the dollar continues to strengthen. that said, the business cycle extends, equities are underpriced and not overpriced. that improvement in equity sentiment what spill over into other high data assets. right now we are in a situation where the market is not convinced about equities. they see rates going up and see the vulnerabilities and they are selling as much as they can. julia: if you are right in your underlying thesis as far as the business cycle and the economy, that you ultimately presents an opportunity, and so this equities too. don't have good supply site data and we don't know if productivity is picking up or investment is picking up and have a discernible impact, if it does to a extended cycle,

that is a good news story that is not present in right now. englander, thank you for coming on the show. joe: coming up, what you need to know for tomorrow's trading day. this is bloomberg. ♪
