for information around that is something they could do. the interesting thing is i think transparency is one area where you will get bipartisan agreement. republicans and cuts will say it would be great to have more transparency around the list pricing, it would great to have transparency around r&d costs. the industry has said on the r&d side it is difficult to tell you how much r&d costs are ached into the cost of that one drug because they are amortizing all the losers into the winners that they are selling in the marketplace. that would be a major change and this is one area where the administration is stepping out beyond previous republican proposals to say we are willing to have a conversation about how much information consumers have and the administration should get some kudos for being willing to have that discussion. it is hard to do in the context of this company did system. scarlet: the theme was more disclosure to the consumer and

concessions you are willing to provide is some sort of situation where drugs can be allowed to slope to a higher market rate. strict price controls limit the pricing in most countries that have single-payer systems like canada and the u.k. how this hatch and -- happens is a big question. it is something that could be inserted into the conversation. that it -- appears to be what the president wants to do. >> this is obviously an election year issue. it plays well to the presidents base and all consumers. does the administration need to deliver this year or is making them a priority in announcements and public pronouncements enough to satisfy voters? >> talking about them and making a priority is probably enough. the changes will take years to

4:02 pm
downgrades. lisa: they pulled a tesla. people did not like it. an interesting week for bonds. the 10 year yields just going up a touch but we were talking yields and we ended the week the same place we ended it last week. what is most notable is the yield curve. very much of a flattening trend particularly coming up from the long end, there were 30 year and 10 year options of treasuries this week. between fivehe gap and 30 year treasury's collapse. since 2007. this ties in to what we saw with the currencies. we saw the dollar moving away from its strengthening.
4:03 pm
one place where it was not losing was against the argentinian case. the peso tanking to its lowest level on record versus the dollar. the euro strengthening a bit against the dollar. you saw the weaker dollar and the dollar strengthening against the turkish lira. definitely a lot of action there. at oil: we are looking on a five day basis. it climbed 1.2%. down, theit did close second drop this week. you have to look at the broader picture. oil has closed higher for a fifth week in five and holding above $70 a barrel. the president pulled the u.s. out of the iranian nuclear deal reducing the likelihood of a rainy in oil keeping prices lower so we saw prices surge as a result. let's take a look at gold and copper.

you have a situation once you got through the inflation data, it all suggests we are picking up not dramatically. it has made people more comfortable with the fed not overdoing it. >> given the fact that -- given the backdrop, why would you not advise clients to go full on risk on right now? >> there are sources of uncertainty. we are in the midst of negotiating trade deals. there is some uncertainty lingering but certain stocks may be well exposed.
4:06 pm
automakers are number one on the list. there is the issue of what will happen with china. other big markets was backing away from expectations of tighter policy in europe. there is uncertainty on the convergence-divergence story. will run fore that forever. lisa: everyone keeps talking about what a blockbuster earnings season it was. the retailers have not begun reporting walmart next thursday. the consumer has been feeling pretty good. what is your read on why fromtors do not feel good the earnings results we have seen? >> it may come back to the idea that there is a lot of fear about inflation eating away at profit. you have that story fading. what is interesting was in the
4:07 pm
consumer sentiment survey. buried in the details is a note that consumers are expecting wage gains. they are not going to see their suggest themay risks are weaker if you are not getting wage pickups. it depends on what the market is focused on. >> that is what we are seeing in the flattening yield curve, any game we are seeing will come at the expense longer-term. you thinking about cash because even as we see in longer-term rates go down you see short-term rates rise. are you advising people allocate money to short-term debt? >> it is a common trade and it is a sensible one. the longer horizon has become less certain and given that the curve has flattened what is the point in taking the duration risk? >> have you been increasing your

five falcon nine. this is the latest iteration, the most powerful iteration and -- big-- spacex has good plans for it. >> it is built for reuse and reliability. there have been several improvements associated with this vehicle. it is the last upgrade to the falcon nine series. improved protection for the engines for reentry and improved storage mechanisms for the landing legs so you can quickly turn this around. vehicle is intended to do 10 flights without a scheduled maintenance and then expected to do 100 flights before it retires. this is a phenomenal breakthrough for spacex and the entire spaceflight industry.
4:14 pm
scarlet: it looks like this is going to happen provided that nothing goes wrong like yesterday. we do not know what happened yesterday. we are counting down and the launch window is -- if there is another delay goes until 6 p.m. it looks like we are going to get take off in five seconds. 3, 2, 1. improved protection for ignition, lift off. you're looking at live pictures from the kennedy space center in cape canaveral, florida. we're looking at the takeoff or the launch of the falcon nine, the latest iteration of the rocket owned by spacex. lisa: it is remarkable how this can be reused many times over again without maintenance, a game changer given how expensive these spacecraft are. where watching it head toward the atmosphere.
4:15 pm
can you tell us what people in the control room are watching for to make sure this is a smooth launch? sean: the one thing you have to watch out for is an engine failure. the falcon nine is designed such that if two engines have a mishap, the payload can still get to orbit. that might impact the return vehicle and the landing, but mission control is focused on vehicle performance andignition. watching this thing is sent to altitude. scarlet: the payload is the first high orbit committee case and satellite for bangladesh. it will travel 22,000 miles above the earth and provide telecom coverage for bangladesh and surrounding areas. it is on top of the block five falcon nine. i want to get from you a sense of the booster. we are to see stage one come back down to the drone ship. had quite a few
4:16 pm
successes. what is the difference between stage one coming back to the ocean as opposed to land? >> the trajectory takes it beyond its land return path. of the returns, spacex has done 24 successful returns of which have have been on drone ships and half have been on land. it depends on what the final destination is. for a geostationary orbit we are going to have drone ship landings as far as we can see. about theyou talk payload, about the satellite. do we have a sense of how much bangladesh is paying to have this go up and him much this factors into the business model of spacex? >> this is an amazing satellite. -- provides
4:17 pm
communications services for english. it is half the capacity that can and the othersh half is available for commercialization. this will provide improved entertainment services for households and provide secure private communications for industry within bangladesh. bangladesh and surrounding areas. thelet: are we looking at satellite, can you talk us what -- through what we are seeing as viewers around the world keep watch on how this is going? >> we are seeing the second ignited and boost this into the geo-transfer orbit. from there it will move to a
4:18 pm
geostationary orbit. there are several phases of this. the grid fins deploy. i am looking at two images right now. the grid fins are an integral part of being able to return the first stage back to the drone platform. can you tell us what the first stage is? stages, the two initial first stage which is most of the rocket and then there is the second stage, the first stage is what is recoverable. the first stage is 60% of the cost of the vehicle. the upper stage is about 20% of the cost of the vehicle. fairing ands the launchociated with
4:19 pm
costs. for a vehicle like this, the launch cost is $60 million. spacex expects to drop that with the falcon nine block five by an order of magnitude. over time we expect to see this at the $6 million to the $5 million price point and fuel is $30,000 which is the cost of a fully fueled 747. reuse is a phenomenal breakthrough for spacex in the industry. scarlet: the mission is to launch this satellite into orbit but the final purpose for this launch is to show nasa that the carryingne is astronauts eventually to the international space station. talk about what spacex needs to do for nasa to approve this for human use. we -- reliability is
4:20 pm
intended to satisfy nasa's requirement for the commercial crew program. now -- nasa is requiring seven .lights seven flights are required for manned spaceflight. this is flight -- hopefully successful flight number one. we can do a countdown of seven additional, six more additional flights for nasa to sign off saying we are ready to put our astronauts on this vehicle for travel to the international space station. are speaking with sean casey, we were watching the launch, the takeoff of the falcon nine rocket made by spacex. it was launching a satellite owned by bangladesh into orbit. can you give us a sense now of what we are seeing right now,
4:21 pm
the -- it appears to be entering a new stage. >> we see the upper stage successfully operating on its geo-transfer orbit and we are seeing the return of the first stage. i saw the engine go off. it looks at it is getting ready to dock with the oceangoing called ofhich is course i love you. this could be a successful conclusion of the first flight of the falcon nine block five series. the last series of upgrades. scarlet: there have been some missteps along the way. the falcon nine had a couple of missteps where there were some issues with fueling. talk us through what happened in the past. sean: one of the things about this series of the falcon nine is that it uses a sub cool liquid oxygen fuel. liquid oxygen is at 90 degrees
4:22 pm
kelvin. 90 degrees above absolute zero. the density increases and you can pack more fuel in the tanks of the first stage. more fuel provides improved boost -- thrust for the engine. a percent increase over previous versions and gives you more margin for getting to orbit and returning back to earth later on. scarlet: on the left-hand side the link went down for a little bit but we are looking at the landing of stage one, is that right? sean: this is coming down to the platform, of course i love you. look at that.
4:23 pm
that appears to be a successful landing. lisa: can you give us a sense of what this means and how quickly spacex could parlay this into a more commercialized and consistent program that would carry satellites and astronauts? sean: the block five here -- a series is going to do 10 flights without scheduled maintenance and then do 100 flights before it retires. it will be a massive game changer. it improves the profit margin for spacex. it is a challenging technology. a lot of people said things like this could not be done but russia and europe and china are 's challengeo spacex for reusability. the astronaut who highlighted the spaceship, was
4:24 pm
anyone on board? sean: no, this is done by closeded systems and between sensors. this is running on its own. it is without human intervention. it is a machine built to fly. scarlet: that is part of what spacex has brought to the industry. this looks to be a successful landing of the first stage or the booster. the satellite is in orbit. it was shot into orbit today by the spacex block five after an aborted attempt yesterday. thank you so much. sean casey is cofounder of the silicon valley space center. an interesting day and a momentous day for all sorts of space programs as we see this
