11:00 am
♪ good morning. i'm andrew ross sorkin. i'm not one of those faces. orange is the new black markets in the green after the u.s. economy added 217,000 jobs in the month after may and it's been a busy morning. we caught up with outgoing ford ceo and the brand new ceo of u.p.s. david abney. joining us is cara swisher, coexecutive editor and all hour john and kayla. >> i watch the first ten minutes of the new "orange is the new
11:01 am
black." >> you are an overachiever. >> i made sure it was there and watched ten minutes and went to the gym. >> and? you stopped after ten minutes so what does that mean? >> i don't want to like ruin my opinions. >> okay. let's talk about this. the war of words heating up between verizon and netflix. verizon sent a letter to the streaming service demanding that netflix stop sending messages to users blaming verizon's crowded network for slow speeds. here's a picture of the message of netflix running that got verizon upset and a bit of a surprise since they signed a deal a month ago to improve streaming speeds. guys, who's in the right here? >> it's impossible to know. i mean, that's the reality of it. and netflix said they're looking at all ways of studies the disruption and could be your wi-fi router. the network in the building. so that i think is why verizon has a right to be a little bit cheesed off and not necessarily true. >> cara, tech guru, who's to
11:02 am
blame here? come on. >> we had reed hastings at our conference and did the same thing with comcast. he's being very aggressive in the fight of streaming fees and signs the deals. >> where do you stachnd on that? >> they have good arguments. you listen to -- we had brian roberts, also, talking about it and one point of view that i have to pay for cable boxes. why can't reed hastings pay for carriage and faster speeds? it is an interesting issue. how important is the internet and internet connectivity to the country? is it a utility? i think a lot of it is posturing possibly on netflix's side. at the same time, it's correct. i mean, even though, there should be access to, you know, good streaming, it happens they use 34% of the pipes right now. >> right. >> this weekend it's going to be 900% or something like this. >> yeah, probably. it's interesting because when
11:03 am
you listen to brian roberts talk about the deal they struck with reed hastings and netflix and says it gives more control over the medium. the intermediary and the technology and where it streams through. >> right. >> upstream and i'm just wondering, if that's actually true, can netflix in this situation be blaming verizon for this slow streaming or the crowded network? >> they can. they want to call attention to the issue and legislation around it. they want, you know, i don't think they want too much and they want the issue to be debated and so there's pressure on these pipes people. and so i think that's exactly what he is doing. >> what is the chance that in the context of the comcast time warn ir deal and the at&t directv deal that the fcc tries at some level to add stipulations around how all this works? >> in the context of sprint/t-mobile, too. >> this is the point. this is the point. >> but the big issue here now is
11:04 am
the press release netflix put out in response, we are studying or evaluate and continuing to test i think is the word they used and they don't definitively know that verizon is causing this and misleading. >> sending a letter to washington only does so much in these situations, cara. you know, i wonder if you think this is effective. it has been successful in drawing attention. >> yeah. >> but do you think that it will bring this issue to the table in washington? >> i think legislators can't ignore it. this is the most popular streaming service, popular with consumers. shows people want and this weekend. and they have more to come. they have several new shows that look pretty good. so i think it's very effective. what's interesting is they're the only ones doing it, they're out front and other people that should be concerned, google, amazon, others. so it's -- >> before we move on, why do you think -- you're right here. i'm going all over the place. why has amazon not said anything? why has google not said anything?
11:05 am
>> that's a good question. reed is good at what he's calling attention to. because it's absolutely as brian did say in reed's best interest and comcast's best interest and everybody hates the cable companies. he's just playing on a lot of different things and the right thing probably for him to do. >> except for us employed by them. >> i know. but you know what i mean. brian said it on stage. everybody hates the cable company. i don't wake up wanting to be hated. i think that was his quote. >> the entire second season of "orange is the new black" available online and a huge hit and joins "house of cards" as one of the most successful original shows on netflix. people excited including the drummer of roots, quest love saying finally. it is here. the question i have for everybody around the table is, do we believe that this show is going to draw even more viewers to netflix? does every time they offer a new show, how many more come through the door?
11:06 am
>> we never know. they get off scot-free and never disclose the ratings, the viewership and put out press releases every monday saying this is the best ever. this is the best ever. no, this is the busiest ever. >> definitively a percentage watch the original programming and come for that. one thing about not a spoiler, they opened the second season of "house of cards" with a shocker of a moment and done the same thing with the opening of this season. i think they do that to get people to resubscribe or come back and a technique they have started to use. >> cara, do they have enough content, though, to keep growing because they have -- i mean, they will have to have must see tv every month. >> they have marco polo. a cartoon thing that looks fascinating. they have a lot of stuff that's quite good. i mean, attracting a lot of hollywood interest because they -- the creativity and freedom to have. it's a similar dynamic.
11:07 am
>> can we talk about your star turn there? you had a star turn in the finale there of -- hbo "silicon valley." what was that like? >> i can't believe i'm on here now us. >> so special. >> what happened? >> i feel like the emmy should go to but whatever. it was fun, cool, i really love mike judge and i like hbo. i have known richard for a long time and doing cool things with that show and going to do more cameos. maybe you, andy. come on. >> is peter -- tell me srks the character peter gregory peter teal? >> no. i think it's more -- he is interesting. why e, yes. but not exactly. like a couple of people. he's a great character and all great, you know, the guy is eric schmidt and a little bit of -- it's a great show and it was really fun to do and lots of people noticed. it was kind of bizarre actually. >> the set, cara, was it reminiscent of the companies whose halls you have been roaming for so many years? >> yes.
11:08 am
>> very similar to? >> real companies in there. there were real companies in there which was funny. i got a lot of cards from cool start-ups in los angeles and working with you guys on los angeles this next week and so it was cool. it was -- it was very much -- they've really hit on something and no show about technology has ever hit on something as much as this one. >> speaking of tv shows, we won't let you go without showing -- you can do the star turn twice now. take a look at cara on the finale of "silicon valley" of hbo. >> you made over the top promises about nucleus. can you deliver? >> absolutely. for me, cara, goodness, greatness, these are not simply catchphrases but the intention of us from the beginning. >> there she is. >> thank you. >> thank you for everything. >> oscar, oscar. i mean, you know. >> actually not next week. next up. we have more to do. >> oh, all right. >> keep talking. >> all right. >> don't go anywhere. is apple's i-watch coming sooner
11:09 am
than we thought? a report saying that apple's smartwatch will hit the market in october with a monitor device for health stats like calorie count and sleep activity after apple announces the health kit at the wwdc earlier this week. do you buy the report, cara? >> yes, i do. yes. absolutely right. >> who then -- i wear a jawbone. when's the loser? i'm assuming fitbit -- >> all of them. >> is that game over? >> i don't know. but it depends on what the device is like. we understand it's rather large, though. may not work for different people. probably not aimed at women i think possibly. you know? it's interesting. >> large like the samsung watch? >> samsung. >> can i say that's big and ugly? can i say that on the air? >> whatever you want. i'm borrowing it from my wife. >> that's interesting. >> wears it regularly? >> started to play around with it a little bit. what's the big issue, apple with the new operating system, you
11:10 am
basically need an iphone to be able to answer the call on your computer, start an e-mail on the iphone, answer it on the computer and same thing with the watches to get all the impact. you will need to be an android or ios and like the '80s or '90s as an mac or pc person. >> will you wear one? >> i don't know. i haven't really gotten on board with the health revolution. i don't think i get enough sleep. i think as soon as i start sleeping more, maybe then i can start monitoring it. i don't want to see all of that data laid out just quiet but maybe that's just me. >> okay. >> you know, i'm just saying the problem is none is actionable. i have an obsession with actionness of it. it's data but doesn't tell you what to do. if this watch tells you what to do and gives you some more beyond the steps and that it could be -- >> i don't know, cara. i downloaded an app of carrot supposed to be a to-do list and
11:11 am
one time it said you have achieved nothing today. >> is it possible -- >> you achieve so much in a day. so unfair. >> can i pause? is it possible? cara, weigh in, as well. is it possible that the watch doesn't move the market the way everybody -- we all think this -- >> no. i think glass doesn't move the market. >> it's amazing coming and google glass i'm not sure gets you there. >> people want the wearables and the pebble or this, there's a convenience. i'm curious what you think. >> this is critically important. it's right before the iphone. just think about it. this is the moment before the iphone. everybody was debating smartphones for a long time. they're big, clung i can and then the iphone and everything changed and so i think these wearables are critically important. i think the sensors, the home things, we are on the cusp of this finally and so i think the issue is what use does it bring to your life and help and on your thing of becoming part of planet apple and walt calls it or planet google, that's the way it's going. that's the way it's going. >> a different topic.
11:12 am
thank you for that. the king of cramps, though, lebron james sidelined with cramps much of the fourth quarter of game one of the nba finals last night. why? because the heat, well, they fell to the spurs but james blamed a malfunctioning air conditioning system and made the temperatures rise like 90 degrees inside. >> everybody pretty hot. >> legit. the official twitter account of gatorade with fun with james sponsored by the competitor coca-cola of powerade and tweeting the person cramping wasn't our client, our athletes can take the heat. so kind of like that. they're kind of fun. right? >> snarky. >> you can run the power aide twitter. that's for us. that's for us to ask. that brings us to the squawk on the tweet question of the morning. and that question, as i was just saying without knowing it, you can run the powerade twitter. what is your response? we want to know your response.

11:17 am
has been about the first quarter, was it the weather? and i think now we can say, yeah, it was the weather. so, you know, people are back to work. good. >> should we care about the overall headline number? meaning, not the actual number we what are you actually paying attention to looking at the number in the morning? >> i look at the trend. the overall number. >> does it make sense for the markets to take it as -- >> relief. i think there was some concern that, you know, that this is first quarter thing wasn't maybe just an aberration, another one of these, like, you know, glitches, slow downs to carry over and wasn't just the weather. now people are gaining a lot of confidence and then, you know, don't forget the european central bank this week and giving a bullish tone to the market. lately seen a little bit of rise in emerging markets. you know, it's like the whole world is looking maybe a little too good, a little calm. >> bull sish an understatement. look at the dow 95 points from 17,000. >> yeah.
11:18 am
>> i mean, we joked in january when strategist said 20,000 by the end of the year. where does it go? >> it is kind of like creeping and not making the huge leaps and bounds or something. the creeping thing. >> the people that opted out of the labor force and a lesser headline number today. the people not job searching anymore. isn't that concerning? >> a lot of economists starting to zero in on the question. like, who are these people? i mean, can we just all decide to opt out? like, you know, leave a life of leisu leisure. someone in los angeles couldn't find anybody working and enjoying themselves. well, maybe this is good. i don't know. i don't know how they survive but if they can do it, they don't want to work, they don't have to. maybe there's more going on here. >> the sell in may go away idea? that would be a losing strategy at this moment. the question is will that be the right call come september and keep it going at this rate? >> well, we are overdue for a pullback of some kind. even at a creeping rate at some
11:19 am
point the valuations get out of line. they're not there yet. you know? we have still got the numbers going up. earnings going up. >> what is there? when we get there, what's the inflection point for you? >> a couple bumps up in the overall market pe i get nervous. >> talk about your column today. you are going after phil mickelson? >> not going after him so much as reading about this story which is, of course, fascinating, and i realized -- not entirely about golf. insider trading. this light bulb went off in my head. i'm running with insider traders for decades. why do now mouse rich people do it and get a tip and say call my lawyer. i'm not deeging with that. they can't seem to resist. oh my god, insider trading is like gambling. and so then i sort of probe the psychology and people studying this and the psychic reinforcement, the motivations for it, the sense of control, the ego boost, it's all there.
11:20 am
it was crystal clear. >> is everybody in here ethically challenged? >> absolutely not. it is probably a minority of people to put a tip in front of them and like -- putting catnip in front of a cat. >> you look at the set of facts and resolve not good for phil mickelson. we have interesting statements of billy walters saying no one comes after me losing the money. the information is usually accurate. usually you can benefit from it. what do you make of the facts of the case to give people sort of a preview of what you're saying this weekend? >> we don't know a lot of facts and may turn out not to be illegal. we did know mickelson and walters made curiously accurate bet on chlorox before carl icahn announced about it. how do the information move? did they have the information? what kind of information? we don't know that. but the point i was making, when
11:21 am
the fbi shows up at the golf club or in your front yard or outside of the school where you're teaching mathematics, this is not good. a phone call to your lawyer is one thing. that's not good either. but there in person to greet you and two of them, that's not good. >> teeterboro, right? >> not good there and stepping off the green and they're waiting for you -- >> you don't think it's a scare tactic? >> why would they do that? they're suspicious. by the way, have they screwed up his game? we'll see next week in the u.s. open. i bet he has more attention than any time in his life. people want to know is it affecting him? >> all right. thank you. >> fascinating. >> take a look at the column on nytimes.com later. let's go to sarah in arkansas for an update on walmart. sarah?
11:22 am
sarah is with us. but not with us at this moment. maybe, can you hear us? >> reporter: yes. i can hear you. hi. i'm sorry. i'm distracted here because the people are just coming out. al black is the final performer in what's been a day of festivities here. i think we have a live shot to listen in. ♪ all right. just to give you a taste of the concert and festivities here at walmart today. he came on the stage just after doug mcmillan, the ceo, wrapped up his speech. gave sort of a final word in what's been the pep rally of the day and i thought it was interesting and good thing we are in "squawkally" and underscores technology and innovation at walmart saying we need to be at the forefront of this. pretty unusual coming from the world's biggest retailer. he talked about 3-d printing

11:24 am
14,000 associates and investors had a pretty good time and it does a lot to boost the morale and get them excited even if the share price is underperforming. >> okay. sarah in fayetteville, appreciate that. want to see a dead body or how your coercion could be in "game of thrones." plus, investing in the future of health care technology. jaywalker on where the individualized health market is headed. you're watching "squawk alley." but did you know we also support hospitals using electronic health records for more than 30 million patients? or that our software helps over 20 million smartphone users remotely configure e-mail every month? or how about processing nearly $5 billion in electronic toll payments a year? in fact, today's xerox is working in surprising ways to help companies simplify the way work gets done and life gets lived. with xerox, you're ready for real business.

policy, big central banks like europe thinking about embarking on another round of crisis-type management programs to bail out their economy and saying that when i think of a kitchen sink, whatever that thought is, multiply it by a thousand and throwing at this problem. so how have we really done? why is the bond market so stubborn? why don't so many believe it's telling an accurate tale about the future? tell you what. there's a reason to prove it is. okay? magic number is 60 months and i'll tell you. i did the math. they've recombined the numbers. i heard the secretary of labor talking about them today but here's the long and short of it. this recession we had is deemed december '07 to june '09. it took 60 months after june of '09, okay, 60 months to get the jobs back and today was the month you did it. now let's look at the previous
11:45 am
recessions working back through time. march of '01 and november of '01, 39 months to get the lob losses that we lost in the defined recession their period. let's go to the one before that. july '90 to march '91, 23 months to get job losses back. and go back to the zero line. 11 months from '81 to '82 recession. you see what i'm saying? we do more and more. mr. greenspan redefined the notion to tinker out recessions. tried to tinker out everything. and it's 60 months to get the jobs back versus what used to be 11. that's what the bond market's not happy about. back to you. >> all right. thanks so much, rick. i know a lot of people counting the months, you included. we appreciate it. is this the next govern fornovember california? neel on his vision for the golden state. king james sidelined with the cramps last night. the twitter account for gatorade

welcome back to "squawk alley." it's been a big week for the nasdaq up about 2%. fueled by large cap tech. get this. apple, oracle, intel and sandisk trading multi-year highs and seeing this rotation into large cap tech. that's providing a nice lift to the nasdaq composite. they can a look at verifone reporting better than expected earnings, that stock on the move. lastly, jd.com referred to as the amazon of china went public here on the nasdaq a couple of weeks ago and shared picking up momentum today. back to you. >> okay. thank you. california remains the dominant state for i.t. and high tech investment. survey finding 28% of tech companies plan to increase spending and jobs in california over two years and places like
11:50 am
texas and u.s. southeast are closing that gap. with california's unemployment rate high at 7.8%, it will be jobs, tech and the overall california economy that will decide the state's governor's race this fall and joining nous this morning, former assistant u.s. treasury secretary and turned california republican gubernatorial candidate neel kashkari. congrats on your primary victory on tuesday, sir. >> thank you, andrew. great to be back. it feels great. it was a tough primary but i'm looking forward to taking the fight to jerry brown. as you said it all about jobs. we got to lower the unemployment rate. we have to put californians back to work. >> you're wearing a suit. i was in l.a. two weeks ago i got to turn on the tv in my hotel room and who do i see? i see you in an ad and you have an ax in your hand and you're cutting, cutting, cutting, because that what was the commercial supposed to be about, including taxes. how important is that going to be as part of the campaign? >> well, i was focussed in that ad as an example on cutting the high speed trains. jerry brown wants to spend
11:51 am
almost $70 billion on this train from l.a. to san francisco. it makes no sense. it is an example ofegious waste in sacramento. we need to focus on the real priorities of californians, lowering the unemployment rate, putting people back to work, investing in water, so we have enough water to feed our state. i'm going to be very focused on that through the campaign and if i'm governor. >> here is the big issue. i was in san francisco 24 hours ago. i saw mark andreissen, we talked about jobs, the jobs that are being created, which are high tech jobs. but, you know, you know the inequality issue in cities like san francisco. and what do you do about that? >> well, income inequality is a huge issue. i talk a lot about it. people are surprised as a republican i'm talking about it so much. income inequality at its root is a failure of our education system. unless we're willing to make bold changes to transform k through 12 education, income inequality will continue to expand. i have a plan to do exactly that. >> neel, so many companies in your state have the issue of the overseas cash. as a governor, it doesn't
11:52 am
necessarily fall under your discretion, but an issue you face. what is your view on getting that cash back over here so they can invest? >> this is an example of we need national tax reform policies that incentivizes companies to invest here at home. i understand why people don't want to give companies a windfall, but i hate the ideas, the policies that encourage them to invest abroad, keep their cash abroad, continue to hire abroad. we need to lower all of america's unemployment rate, and california being one of the worst, we really need to lower california's unemployment rate. >> this is the solution? what is your proposed solution or idea on that? >> i think there are a lot of ideas on the table, whether there are one time repatriation programs in place, but we need to alyn our tax code with the tax code around the world. there is a competition for investment, a competition for jobs globally. i'm very focused on california now. california is losing relative to states like texas and north dakota and other low unemployment states around the country. we need to do a lot more here at home in california so it is not just the facebook employees and the google employees that are doing well.
11:53 am
it is the millions of californians that are out of work today, we need to bring them back into the labor force. >> how do you do that, neel. you look at california, which is home to the hotbed of innovation. we were talking about walmart, which added a thousand new jobs in silicon valley alone and a lot of the companies in california are some of the biggest hires in the economy right now. how do you create jobs outside of silicon valley, outside of technology, and some of the more traditional sectors where maybe california isn't home for them. >> sure, it is a great question. i'll give you a couple of examples. reining in regulation. sacramento comes out with hundreds of new rules and regulations ache ye s that are intentioned. but it is like a giant ball of yarn crushing our small businesses and pushing our factories overseas or out of state. that's one. number two, investing in water so we have enough water to feed our farms. 40% of the jobs in our central part of the state, the central valley are directly tied to agriculture, we're suffering a terrible drought. we have not been prepared for
11:54 am
this drought. number three, i have specific incentive to bring manufacturing back to california. silicon valley designs great products but usually manufactured somewhere else. we should be manufacturing those products here and then finally we had a huge untapped oil and gas potential. we can tap into that, create hundreds of thousands of jobs, and billions of dollars in tax revenue. >> neel, you won the gop primary on tuesday night. you got 18% of the vote. jerry brown got 55% of the vote. you said you would spend about $2 million of your own money to actually build your campaign. i'm wondering how much do you think it is going to cost to close that gap before november? >> it is going to cost a lot. we have to raise tens of millions of dollars is my guess to compete with jerry brown. he has $20 million. he'll have a lot more when the unions fully fund him. we just need enough money to get our message out. here's the thing. all of the issues are on our side. unfortunately we're near the bottom for jobs. we're near the bottom for education. we're number one in poverty in america. california, number one in poverty.
11:55 am
and jerry brown calls that the california comeback. we're going to make him answer for his destruction of the middle class and when i make him answer, that's how we beat him. >> okay. kneel kashkari, congratulations, republican nominee for governor of california. thank you for joining us. we should say open invitation as always for governor jerry brown to join us anytime. we would love to see him join the show. >> up next, it is heat versus the spurs in the nba finals, but pepsi versus coca-cola in the battle over lebron james hydration. squawk on the tweet and your answers are coming up next. ♪fame, makes a man take things over♪ ♪fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow♪ ♪fame, puts you there where things are hollow♪ the evolution of luxury continues. the next generation 2015 escalade.
