11:00 am
good morning, everybody. i'm kelly evans in for carl who's off today. joining us this morning, kevin o'leary. investor, of course, on "shark tank." good to see you. way did us always, jon fortt and kayla tausche. amazon expected to unveil a new cell phone and now the "wall street journal report"ing the new phone will be exclusively carried by at&t when it launches extending the relationship with the company providing wireless service to kindl tax and ereaders. jon fortt, reminiscent of a deal
11:01 am
with apple? >> when the iphone launched just on at&t and everybody was ticked off about it, because it completely overloaded at&t's network for years. especially here in new york. it was really bad. times have changed. it will be interesting to see the business arrangement between amazon and at&t here. amazon, will they act is an mv & o? a mobile operate jerological it it be cheaper? we don't know yet. >> kayla? >> this makes sense for amazon because of numbers. call them what will you, subscriber, cust accounts, t-mobile, close to 50 million, and so if you do want guaranteed access to the broadest network you're going to go with at&t regardless how you feel about the company or what type of deal you were strike with them. >> do you like this deal, kevin o'leary? >> no.
11:02 am
a big mistake for amazon. i'll explain why. puts them more into the consumer electronic space in the mobile handset or provision industry. if you don't get 5% market share within a couple of years, you're losing money. and you can look at lots of situations where firms have been in this space, a great one would be rim. the thing has less than 2% market share on its way to zero. and i think amazon is going to start to be compared more and more to consumer electronics companies and above all for investors like me, show me the cash flow. >> what are you taking issue with here? taking issue with at&t specifically or do you think somehow amazon needs to just go forward ton get market share right away to be successful at all in this space? >> i'm an at&t shareholder, randall stephens and his team cares about me. providing cash flow and distributing it to me in the form of a dividend. that's all i care about. can he do things to provide me cash? 15% weighted in the space. i do not consider amazon into this until it distributes cash
11:03 am
to me. that's all this thing is. it's a utility for people to use on a network, and it's not cash flow positive, not distributing cash to me, who cares? that makes it more difficult for amazon to tell its story about being a company that just changes the world for everybody all the time, doesn't have to make any profit. when you're in the cell phone handset business, you have to make money. go make money and distribute it to me. show me dividends, cash flow? >> we hear you loud and clear on amazon, kevin. regardless of the company launching the phone, think about the smartphone already in the consumer market so many people now are already loyalists to iphones or to androids, i'm wondering, how important do you think cost will be? if amazon does need to get to 5% market share, how much do they have to take off the cost here to actually win those customer, and have a value proposition for them to switch? >> well, i just took a little poll this morning of young people using iphones and androids and said what would make you switch?
11:04 am
what feature would actually have you give up your music on either of your platforms? they said to me, price. if it was cheaper for me for the next year, i would do it, particularly if i get interested in this 3d technology. that means amazon has to buy their way in, or at&t has to do the same. eat it, and i don't know why in the world this makes a big difference to anybody. it's so late in the game, and to garner market share. >> before we move on -- >> amazon does not need 5% market share and don't need to sell a lot of these, just a larger share of wallet from the amazon customer. that's it. moving on. tesla on its way back to the jersey state, to sell directly to consumers. of course think, comes an new jersey tried to ban tesla sales approving regulations all new car dealers must have franchise agreements. and more on the company in a meantime. solar city, announcing plans to build the world's largest advanced solar panel factory in
11:05 am
upstate new york. shares of both tesla and solar city you can see in the green this morning. tesla up 4% after a 9% move yesterday. solar city, up 10%. kevin, do you buy into the future here nor solar? >> i do, actually. i think it's a very interesting opportunity. there's a hard core con stitch twhaens wants to own this technology. support it, and i think for states it's always great to talk green. and i don't know why we're using laws from the '70s to decide what technologies get distributed where. that's what's happening here. a huge advocate for moving forward, providing distribution any way we can and let them disrupt the dealer network. i don't care. >> i completely agree with kevin here, and i mean, elon musk is a steely eyed missile man building out a battery factory state-of-the-art. what's to build solar. so few start-up, entrepreneurs are willing to take that capital risk. either way, it's a bold bet.
11:06 am
>> interesting to see where this bill is in the new jersey legislature and i'm interested in kevin's thoughts on this. the bill that currently passed 77-0 clooerly popular in tassem could get still gridlocked would limit the number of distribution centers or stores in tesla's case to four. you're in a certain sense inhibiting competition, kevin. is that even a positive move going forward to say they can sell them direct to consumers at all or is it a negative they're limiting how many outlets they can actually have? >> i think having one outlet would allow you at least to have a service point. that would be a good thing. i want to remind everybody of something going on in miami. certain alignment to this. we know that uber is not permitted in that city. i just saw an uber trip billed at zero. the company went in, set up in miami, and is just sticking it to the face of religion laregul the constituents want the service and we don't give a damn what you think. fine us and bill us until the
11:07 am
cows come home we're going to subsidize it completely. elon should do the same thing. i'm tired of old antiquated laws holding back the advancement of our economy. that's the way i look at it. >> explain for a second. what are you saying they want them to do here? he's on the 4:00 show later and we want to ask him about this. >> plow ahead and do what's right for your company or shareholders and consumers. and let the legislation catch up with you. even in the face of getting fined. that's what uber did in miami. i love it. that's a rebel. that's an advancement. i like it. >> mr. shareholder first, saying that musk should go consumer first. appreciate your thoughts across these stories this morning. thanks for joining us. as i mentioned, speaking of tesla. ceo elon musk joins me on "closing bell" to talk about this company and others taking the top spot on the c nbc destructor list. all at 4:00 p.m. and taking top honors on the

11:13 am
welcome back to xwl. that's a photo op. stock moving higher after the company said its xpeernltal cannabis product showed promising results in children and young adults with treatment of a resistant form of epilepsy. that stock you can see there off session highs. still up 11% on today's session, kelly, back to you guys.
11:14 am
>> all right, dom, thank you. measuring engagement on twitter can be interpreted different ways including mobile engagement, timeline yew, active user. new data points to twitter ads beginning to boost sales and here with the collusive data, kara swisher, go executive eder joining us on the newsline. kara, should we take this at face value? >> no, we sloun. of course, it's twitter ads as they work. that's the headline. at the same time, more and more data, they have to present. they did this with a company, a big ad agency trying to prove to advertisers there is efficacy in using twitter and need to get as many data points as possible. not just twitter but facebook, yahoo! and everybody else. the only company that has prove didn't to them, google, obviously. in lots of ways on a consistent basis. so all of these social media companies have to become, have more data so these marketers can buy into it not on an
11:15 am
experiment's basis. >> kara, correct me if i'm wrong. part of the thrust of this vord the idea twit sir a great side dish maybe moving away from the idea that twitter alone does a lot for a brand, but if you watched tv and twitter, the brand gets more recognition? >> yes. >> a different tack, right? >> it's a boost. an adjacent. at some point a kpeter in th ec that regard. being friendly to the industry, trying to go against facebook, principle competitor, a good tactic. of all the things going on in twitter, a lot of truouble in lots of ways, going well under adam bayne. can they convince marketers twit sir a great spend and a consistent spend jn they need more than this, obviously and need more cases. got to work more. but it's -- why they're doing it. trying to tout in this way.
11:16 am
>> the old, any publicity is good publicity, relevant to a certain extent. you mentioned what i thought the most interesting negative of the piece. even if not the actual news peg here. that twitter courting tv is a partner but clearly a rival to tv as some point. i'm wondering if you're seeing any seeds being sow flchn to th effect or when that would gel? >> more video and audio in twitter and other places. you see it from netflix and other companies. i think it's, the idea is, they want to be friends with these old media. it's a good place for twitter to play. a lot of people are scared of google, even though they use it and there's not a lot of all tirchs except facebook. twitter the friend to television has been their push. an effective one. there is data showing not just twitter's data, that there is -- when people start to talk about a show, there are lists. not everybody agrees.
11:17 am
nbc said it didn't lift olympic viewing. in this case talking about lifting sales, brand, awareness engagement a very different thing than ratings. >> great point and important to a lot of advertisers. obviously why nair this. thank you for now. with the latest on twitter. up next, if you needed another reason to order pizza behind the new siri for domino's, called dom. the ceo joins us next. plus, america's celebrated teen usa victory over ghana. how did it look on twitter? we'll show you a little later on "squawk alley." peace of mind is important when you're running a successful business.

11:21 am
pizza. patrick, welcome. why not name this patrick instead of dom? >> we wanted to go with the dom. i don't think we're going to brand it around me. >> well, we tried it out yesterday, and "closing bell" will show in a moment what happened. first of all, how much of an investment have you made in this technology and what's required in terms of consumer take for it to work? >> yeah. it's a significant investment for us. we're not going to release the specific number, but what we're doing right now is, we're out there, finding those early adamtadamt adamt -- adapters who do business with domino's and want to work with us what we think is the next technology for retail. not just pizza restaurants but all of retail. the days of people using their thumbs to text and enter things are over. you're going to see things move to voice commands. >> and on that note we thought we'd give it a try yesterday. here's what happened on "closing bell."
11:22 am
>> we're going to try to order a pizza right now and see if it does actually get to us before our hour's done. >> they have to get the order right. >> tap in and say, okay. large combination pizza. large cheese pizza. large cheese pizza. just a moment. >> yeah. i think we're going to have to finish this up during the break. >> i will say that after our ordering snafu, it took them just about 30 minutes to get us our pizza in the door. >> no word on how successful it is when not broadcasting the progress live on television. of course. >> right. >> as we pointed out, patrick, we took the consumer report's approach, give it a try, see what happens as we head down there. it was a little tricky to order at first. yes, a noise here, but dealing with all kinds of ambient noise and people phoning in orders at 2:00 from college campuses. is that the best representation
11:23 am
of how this technology will work? >> you know, dominic wa an early investor. it will make it tough, the noise on the floor. that's what we've got to learn. last night a couple thousand people used the technology, and we learned from them. we learn every time, you know that something works or doesn't work. we find new ways that people are going to speak to it, new speech patterns that you incorporate as you continue to progressively make the technology better, but we are absolutely convinced that voice is going to be the primary interface five or ten years from now for people to interact with technology. you're not going to go into your family room and pick up a clicker anymore. you're going to walk in and say, show me the world cup, and, you know, and the u.s. ghana game is going to come up. that's the logical way to interact with technology. >> patrick, in a report this
11:24 am
morning, bank of america's lowering the rating on domino's to under perform in part saying domino's has been at the forefront of technology in the pizza space for the last four years and we believe that that has led them ahead of the pack, but the valuation is pretty full at this point. i'm wondering, what customers business do you think you will get with a voice app right now in june 2014 that wouldn't otherwise are using the traditional app? >> look, in the early days, and clearly this is early, as we're just rolling this out, this isn't going to be a huge generator of incremental business short term, but i think you'll see it be a very big opportunity for us longer term, and i think what we prove today is that domino's is absolutely leading in technology. we are finding ways that we're going to make it easy for our customers to order any time, anywhere. that's what's going to drive the business, and that's what's going to create shareholder returns. >> patrick, got to ask you about
11:25 am
this hacking issue in europe. were the passwords stolen actually encrypted? if not, why not? and i understand that they were stolen in the process of you switching to a new system? >> yes. it was a system in belgium, just there. they went through, got into the database in belgium and france, that our franchisee was running. there were a few passwords, they were all encrypted. there was no financial data. not a big deal, but look, it's one of those things you learn, you get better on that and we will. >> and this is the dark side, patrick, of technology. look, if target taught retailers nothing else, what seems to be happening with their protection of systems can often reveal broader strategic problems. can't it? >> right. it absolutely can. we're investing a lot, and you know, anytime there's something like that, that was a small issue, but i'll tell you, we're certainly all over it. >> all right. like cheese on a pizza. thank you, patrick doyle.
11:26 am
great see you this morning. >> thanks. in just a few mints, tutes european markets closing. >> like green beans on a map. europe higher mostly. halted two days of declines. mixed signals on the one hand german investor confidence fell for the six straight month. ought meative sales higher for the ninth straight month. interesting behind the headlines, today was important for the european central bank. the yield on the two-year bond down at practically zero. .05% nap as the european central bank effectively injects or leaves on the table in excess of 100 billion euros, $140 billion. not mopping up or sterilizing, neutralizing the effect of its previous bond purchases at the height of the crisis. this is important because you see, if you like, the back room financial conditions in europe
11:27 am
are improving all the time. rates coming further and further down. the question, can you transfer that to the real economy to lending to small and medium sized businesses n. that, of course, the big open question. a big shot within the cargo industry. did you know the deigns emerge and french and swiss joining together on what they called the p3 alliance to basically co-chair on their cargo ships around the world. today the chinese, the chinese regulator blocked that after the u.s. and the europeans said okay, because china said, look, you're going to have 43% of the market to asia and we're not sure you've convinced everybody that that is in the public interests. you see the stock here down 5% in denmark. the other big one, of course, is that today it's zemin's ceo alongside mitsubishis ceo in paris touting their offer. met with the french prime minister this morning. met with the head of o alstom,
11:28 am
the opposing deal from general electric. front page of the "financial times" offering further concessions on jobs if not more money, which might be why alstom is down in paris. back to you. >> simon good to see you. thank you. up next, calling it the world's first thinking music player, but is it worth your money? reviewing the smart speaker that learns more about you. sounds like domino's. every time you use it. but what if you could see more of what you wanted to know? with fidelity's new active trader pro investing platform, the information that's important to you is all in one place, so finding more insight is easier. it's your idea powered by active trader pro. another way fidelity

11:30 am
11:31 am
i think it represents what facebook represents a new way of doing business and a new economy, and i believe that type of innovation will be the next wave and is the current wave of changinging the future. the facebook ipo will solidify the internet as a force. >> well, the cnbc disrupt your 50 list is out. coming in at number three. the company's ceo chad dickerson the day before the facebook ipo way back in 2012 on this show and speaking of destructive, a lot of new speakers on the market and many softwares claiming they can decipher what
11:32 am
music you like to listen to, et. the speak er that has both. and reviewed the speakers. walt, are they smart? >> hey, kelly. how are you? >> great to see you. >> the speaker is smart, but it may not be, at least in my test it didn't show itself to be quite as smart at advertised. that might be the best way to put it. it has some rough edges. needs some work. let me quickly explain what it is. this thing debuted, by the way, at our code conference that we did at the end of may, in which you folk its covered quite thoroughly. it's basically a, an artificial intelligence device combined with a speaker, and a cloud system that tries to crunch, use algorithms to crunch the data on what you're listening to.
11:33 am
for instance, if you listen to a certain genre or certain artist for a long period of time, it notes that and figures that you must like that. at least on, let's say, friday afternoons, if that's when you're doing it, in the -- on the back porch if that's where you're doing it, and if you crank up the volume on a song, it notes that and says, that's a sign she likes the song. so that's the idea. and you control it with controls that are built right into it, including a voice recognition control, where you can push a button, there's a round button right in the middle of the front of the speaker and say, you know, play, i guess the example i used was, play "graceland" by paul simon. it will find that on the audio service, which is what it's hooked up to, and play the song. >> so walt, maybe i'm just weird. let's grant that i am, but -- >> that's not a maybe, jon. >> yeah. i mean, don't most people just
11:34 am
like a couple thousand songs at the most and they have maybe a couple dozen in rotation at any given time? are they playing too much towards the absolutely nutso think crowd? we like to, do we really need a service to pick any one of a couple million songs? >> well that is a fantastic question, and i think it breaks down -- i think there are different types of music listeners, but the kind you describe, where you either, you know, somehow obtained, let's say, maybe you've bought them or ripped them from cds, maybe gotten them some other way, the 6,000 or 5,000 or 1,000 songs that you really like, and you are listening to the things you know. once in a while you add new artists. that's one kind of listener, but all of these things, like spotify and beats music, which as you know, we discussed odd infinitum apple buying them as they did, and ardio and the
11:35 am
speaker, which using ardio. these are really a design for people that are interested in maybe discovering new music that's similar to what they like, and, or just having the choice to listen to different things at different times. i mean, in the mornings, some people who have this cone speaker might want to listen to news. they want, might want to listen to, not to music at all, and the thing will try to remember that. so if it's morning, it will default putting on the news. if it's sunday afternoon, and it's noticed you've listened to classiccal music, maybe that's what it will put on, even if you're listening to, i don't know, van halen on tuesday. so that's the idea. and, jon, for that kind of listener that you describe, this probably isn't the right product. you probably want something more like a seono speaker or one of
11:36 am
the less expensive bluetooth speakers. this is really meant to offer you a wide variety. >> but, walt, what if you don't like what it's choosing for you? what if it does predict you listen to news when you wake up but one night you wake up late and need britney spears to wake up in the morning? something high intensity. >> really, kayla? britney spears? >> i'm just saying, can you override it, if you want to. >> yes, you can. i'm trying to get the image of meeting britney spears in the morning out of my head, but basically, there's a rim around the speaker. it's pretty clever, and if you twirl it just a little bit it will move on to the next song in that album or are in that genre, but if you give it a big twirl it will give you something completely different. so if you don't want news, you give it a big twirl, i did this more than once, in my testing. it went from, i don't know, the eagles to yo-yo ma. it went from -- james taylor to
11:37 am
hip-hop. so it will -- it will try to change the whole mood and the whole genre you're listening to if you just give it a longer spin. >> walt, good to see you, as always. seems as though so much of this convergence is happening in the home space right now. >> right. >> and $399 the price there. you're going to pay up for it, for these smart speakers. >> at least for now, but i think artificial intelligence is going to be behind, however successful it is, or unsuccessful, it's going to be behind a lot of the products we're talking about here over the next few years. >> i know you said you liked "hotel california" by the eagles. crosby, stills & nash. paul simon. do you like van halen on tuesdays, though? >> i do like van halen. a lot. >> good. >> every day, even, probably. >> it is tuesday. >> thank you, walt.

reminder, nbc news group, a contract sharing partnership and now know all about walt's musical taste. >> and apparently mine, too. in a matter there. meanwhile, plenty of excitement across the country yesterday after the u.s. soccer team took a late 2-1 lead. 86 minutes into the game over ghana. check out this reporter's reaction which has been all over the social sphere today.
