11:00 am
>> well, yes and no. depreciation in the real estate area is a special thing. i kind of agree that this needs more scrutiny. how many people sell real estate at a loss? they deprecate it over the 39 years, and then when they actually sell it, that didn't deprecate it overall. there is a disconnect between the notion of depreciation and the reality. a lot of economists say it does depreciation but it's much slower than the schedule allows. >> how about of thmuch of this interest? >> the thing about carried interest, which trump and clinton said they would end. trump does not benefit from that. carried interest is treated as a capital gain. he had zero capital gains. >> even the people who do benefit from it now would
11:01 am
benefit more under his tax proposals. >> he will lower the pass through, and that will lower the capital gains so that's utter nonsense that's reform. >> jim, nice to see you today. it's 8:00 a.m. in seattle, 11:00 a.m. on wall street. "squawk alley" is live. ♪ ♪ welcome to "squawk alley,"
11:02 am
i'm carl quintanilla with kayla. the dow has gone positive for the week. a big day for bank earnings. jpmorgan moving higher. profit down year on year, but the company saw record income in commercial banking. citi in the green after earnings and revenue topped expectations. fixed income a bright spot, up 35% on year on year. there is wells fargo, despite the drop in income days after chairman and ceo john stumpf resigned. plenty more on wells this afternoon, the cfo will join "closing bell" at 3:00 eastern time. goldman is leading the dow. some of these metrics if you look elsewhere, other than wells, pretty good. even things like expenses working in their favor. settlements, reserves, acting more like a tailwind instead of a headwind. >> we're not seeing the massive
11:03 am
amounts of money banks had to sock away for potentially bad oil loans. margins are in focus but people know what they're buying. i will say jpmorgan's 15% loan growth is something people will be talking about. citi group loan growth there about 2%. they do have the costco benefit, cars and loans getting a huge benefit. analysts are writing about the ramp-up in how many cards they were able to sell. >> jpmorgan doing cross selling sales practices, saying there are no systemic issues at jpm. total assets up 4% year on year, and discussion about whether they're too big now. >> jpmorgan several years ago had a settlement in its asset management unit that it was pushing some mutual fund
11:04 am
products that were jpmorgan proprietary products that were less well performing, so they had the introspection a couple years ago about what products should we be selling to consumers? what is fair? what should we be doing? i think the street is commending them. talked a lot about banks. we'll pivot in this hour to some tech. >> big tech story this morning. vmware's cloud will now be available on amazon web services. how will amazon and vmware working together impact the space? pal gilsinger is ceo of vmware, and pete jassis join us from one market. guys, good morning. >> good morning. >> good morning, john. good to talk to you. >> andy, big hybrid cloud announcement from you guys, one of the knocks on amazon is that you guys were not used to dealing with full-fledged
11:05 am
enterprise work loads with all the guarantees, flexibilities that customers wanted. are you going to do more of these types of partnerships like this one with vmware, big player in the enterprise space? is this part of your strategy for continued growth at aws? >> we have a very big enterprise business. most of the big hybrid implementations you see out there are built on top of aws. the announcement we made together is a real win for customers. because aws and vmware were not well integrated, customers were forced with a binary decision to make of either continuing to use the vm software they like but not really be able to use it on aws in the public cloud well, or use aws in the public cloud and leave behind vmware software. with the announcement customers don't have to make that binary decision anymore. and they get to use the vm software on aws and do so without buying additional
11:06 am
hardware. >> pat, whose customer is this? it will be sold and serviced by vmware, will amazon get information to help them access those customers and expand their business? is it going to be you that's perhaps expanding the relationships even if they're amazon customers deciding they want to use more vmware on premise? >> yeah. john, what it is, it really is the coming together of amazon and vmware for this best of class hybrid cloud service. what we're finding is these are already our joint customers. that's what really makes this announcement powerful. andy and i were driven by customer demand. huge vmware footprints used by essentially enterprise are taking advantage of amazon. this creates a seamless hybrid experience. the specific offering is a vmware offering bringing vmware
11:07 am
cloud on amazon. it will be sold, supported and offered by vmware, available on the amazon marketplace, but us bringing the vm software stack, combined on the global dynamic infrastructure of amazon, with amazon services which are rich and broadly available giving a best of both worlds experience for customers. >> most people are zeroing in on microsoft as the biggest challenger to this hybrid vision you're putting more meat on with this announcement. how does this change the competitive dynamic between you and microsoft? >> again, i think that it's a really differentiated offering for customers. the vast majority of the world's enterprises have virtualized on vmware. they're used to using software, that's what they want to use as they move to the public cloud. this is the only offering that allows you to use the same software on vmware on the public cloud. also people want that concision
11:08 am
tent, seamless experience when they run in hybrid mode but doing without buying additional hardware this allows you to do that. >> pat, you already had a deal with ibm. why do this? >> ibm, and that relationship is going well. we're delighted with the momentum we're seeing from the ibm customers, the vmware offering we're doing with ibm is having great momentum in our joint customers and in the marketplace. however, bringing together the leader in public cloud with the leader in private cloud, as we said, was driven by our joint customers. those customers were looking for the seamless hybrid experience. some customers will use cloud a bit. other customers are saying i want to be out of the data center business. a lot of them are in between those two worlds, wanting to take advantage of this overall capability. this is what we announced with the cross cloud architecture, giving all of our customers the
11:09 am
ability to take advantage of many clouds. inside of that, this is a pillar offering, something that allows us to present a unique hybrid cloud experience from the leader in public and private coming together. >> a year ago one of the themes was having oracle in the cross hairs, taking them on in database, you talked about data migration, making it easier for customers to get data into your cloud. how is that going? taking it to the traditional enterprise juggernauts who are also trying hard to compete with you in cloud. how would you score your performance over the past 12 months? >> the business is growing really fast. the last financial numbers we released, it's $11 billion revenue run rate business, trailing 12 months basis growing 58% year over year. the business is growing by leaps and bounds.
11:10 am
what we're trying to do is enable enterprises and companies to run all of their applications on top of our technology infrastructure platform. it turns out that database is an area they care a lot about. for the last 30 years they had relatively little freedom in the database space because they have been beholden to the older guard database spaces, with punitive licensing terms, that's not what customers want. given the nature of that, we launched aurora, which is the fastest growing service in the history of aws. since january 1st of this year, we had 12,000 database migrations away from prior databases into aws. it's because customers want that database freedom they get with the cloud and awi. >> do you think you're part of the reason for oracle's new software license business not
11:11 am
doing so well? >> it's hard for me to say what's influencing different companies results. our business is growing so fast in the database side and on the analytic side, it's exciting for us. i think it's exciting for customers because it allows them to get much more done, much more cost effectively and quickly. >> pat, as far as how you go out and you sell this relationship with amazon and also the other priorities that you have, alongside that, are you going to be needing to put more feet on the street in order to attack this cloud opportunity and sell this relationship with amazon, given that, you know, once you talked about amazon as a threat and the enemy. it was, as you said, binary in the other direction. >> what we've seen in the marketplace over the last several years, john, is customers taking advantage of the public cloud. in many cases going faster than andy might have expected three,
11:12 am
four years ago. that's a clear expectation on the part of our customers. further, the private cloud, us building this automated experience that allows them to have that cloud experience in a private way. customers have pushed us to come together. that really is, you know, the exciting thing about this. customers will be accelerated it their cloud journey with a richer set of tools to accomplish that. i believes that will accelerate our business and amazon's as well because we're taking away friction from customers on their cloud journey. vmware is growing, we're expanding investments, sales forces, doing joint sales activities with amazon, both investing in this offering in the marketplace. overall that's something when customers are pulling us, it's an easy thing to sell. >> andy, traditionally q4 is a big quarter for retail. a lot of transactions take
11:13 am
place. that's when people need the excess capacity they turn to the cloud for what are your expectations for how this quarter will shape up cloud-wise? similar to the seasonal pattern we've seen in the past, perhaps even more so based on some trends we've seen in the macro economy? >> we're expecting continued growth in the quarter for our cloud business. the amount of demand for our various services continues to surge. we have so many customers where q4 is such an integral part of the year, and they scale in a way that's unusual. we have to make sure we services them well. we expect this to be a growth quarter for our business and customers. >> can't wait to see those numbers. certainly an announcement that's reverberating throughout the cloud world. thanks for joining us. >> john, always a pleasure. when we come back, more bad news for samsung today,

11:17 am
the samsung losses keep coming. the company expecting another 3.1 million in losses from the smartphone fires. joining us is re/code's executive editor joining us from d.c. hi, kara. >> how are you doing? >> how do you make sense of this, and what it does for apple, google, chipmakers? >> for samsung, it's terrible. think about the airlines, every day, every time i get on a plane, an airline is talking about how bad samsung is. don't put them away, turn them off, put them in a bag. on a marketing perspective, it's over for these phones. obviously -- it questions whether all phones will have
11:18 am
issues. for other phones it brings to mind the idea these things can be unsafe. right now it's linked pretty much only with samsung. they're the ones suffering for it but it creates appall over the market for sure. >> what do you expect the launch of the galaxy note 8 to look like? who will buy that? >> apparently there's foldable technology in the samsung 8, or they're pulling back on that, they have to sort out what happened here first before they move forward with over phones. they can't act like business is usual. they have not explained why these things explode. they had these issues with the replacements, everything else. this is just a completely tarnished brand, the entire brand. and the question is where do they go from here. i don't think introducing a new phone is the answer. >> i've been surprised to see the samsung fans that i know are still holding out for whatever their next phone is.
11:19 am
in their minds it's very isolated to this one particular phone. is it possible, if they're able to get their ducks in a row and release another couple phones that don't have problems, is it possible this is a one-time hit? or did the fact we saw the recall and then the botched re-issue show an organizational issue that is likely to crop up again? >> either organizational or they don't know the reason for why this is happening. initially i thought they handled it well and transparently. right now with the second part of the recall, and another phone having a problem, they haven't been able to answer it adequately. you know, they have a lot of fans. a lot of people love these phones. the issue is are they safe? if you're like -- flying any airline today, it gets mentioned in the terminal, on the flight, you know, that's a lot of people hearing a message that's not a great thing. the question is can they -- will they recover and call it something else? release other phones in but
11:20 am
it's -- it's a damage all the way around until they explain what's happened here. >> we'll have to wait and see the fallout there. next, verizon, now may renegotiate its deal with yahoo!. the top lawyers saying the massive hack of e-mails could justify reopening discussions. this was discounted early when it was reported. what do you make of it now? >> no, absolutely it wasn't discounted. they have been in talks for weeks. it's always being handled by the general council. some of the reports have tim armstrong doing the negotiations, he's not doing them. it's done by their legal council, who i just recently met. terrific guy. i think they're all surprised. and i think the issue is they are not getting much information out of yahoo! yahoo! can't give information because of lawsuits now occurring because of this hack. it's a confusing situation for verizon. they have to answer to shareholders. and the problem for yahoo! if
11:21 am
they go back and negotiate, it's not like other bidders won't have these questions. all the other bidders i talked to said they didn't get information about this. i'm doing a lot of reporting about when did the yahoo! management know about this. i think it's earlier on a lot of these problems than people have been reporting. >> what do you think it's worth? $4.8 billion deal. i know we're not in the negotiating room, we can't put a fine point on it? $100 million? a billion dollars? >> bigger. you can't determine what the damage is yet. these are legal damages, should verizon take responsibility for them. verizon overpaid by a factor of 5$500 to a billion dollars. everybody else was way under. the question does it come off? where does the liability go? it's a complex issue. again, they have not even gotten to the bottom of -- just like samsung, they don't know why. they don't know the particulars.
11:22 am
verizon certainly doesn't know them because yahoo! can't tell them that because they're not merged companies. it creates a problematic and thorny legal situation. >> kara, you think this is a watershed moment from here on you the there will be some hacking provision in these m&a deals? you better disclose as much as you can to us now or there's a penalty or all bets are off? what have you? >> that's a good question. i think some problem with yahoo! they had an e-mail problem, if you recall, right before these hacks happened. they were using very old equipment and things -- it's a longer and more complex story. i think in yahoo!'s case, some of it is preventable. and that's one of the issues, antiquated technology. i do think going forward everyone will have to be aware of these issues, and then probably build in these ideas, if hacking occurs, this occurs,
11:23 am
a whole new area of law. more lawyers, i guess. >> might have to have a digital blood test before marriage of these companies. >> amazing how hacking has infiltrated the election process, m&a, personal lives. where does it stop? that's the problem. >> it is. it's a really big problem. in this case, a lot of issues may be on how yahoo! management reacted. there's another layer to this. it's not oh well, it happened. other companies do not suffer in this way. that's another question verizon has and a trust factor with yahoo! management. i've heard that several times, the trust factor is broken. >> kara, thanks for your time. up next on "squawk alley," tim cook on virtual and augmented reality. no! who's gonna' help cover the holes in their plans? aflac!

11:37 am
>> the decision about who should be ceo is for the board and the executives of the company. i think what the whole set of events around wells fargo shows is that anyone who thinks that it's yesterday's problem to worry about whether there are abusive practices, whether there are predatory practices, it is still an important issue for today and tomorrow. you know, we created a consumer financial protection bureau that is a cop on the beat now. it has levied a large penalty in this case. there are some people who want to roll it back, take its power away. i think it's a mistake. we saw in 2007, 2008 how bad practices, bad consumer practices could actually accumulate and contribute to a financial crisis. >> certainly when it came to assessing a fine for wells, the largest one that the cfpb put forward so far. >> as he described a cop on the beat. interested in delivering alpha,

chief financial adviser of h hyperloop one. >> good morning. >> good morning. this chief financial adviser role is interesting. why not come on as cfo? >> yeah. it's a good question. the title, which shervin came up with, captures what i will spending my time on. i will be advising rob josh, shervin, the board on the moneyization model, the financing of the projects, the ecosystem, so it captures i will be not less narrowly focused, but focusing on several areas initially. >> brent, i know you're just getting started what do you see as the unique financial attributes of a project like this with its sort of futuristic never been done before sort of character? >> what's not to like about that, right? when i left uber, i had the
11:43 am
opportunity to join a lot of amazing companies. when of the opportunities was in the series b of hyperloop one. i've known shervin for a anybody of years and rob for over a year. concurrent with my move to l.a. i decided the best way to help this company was step in with both feet. you're talking about a company that is solving massive problems that are on a global basis, that are not just now, this is very real. but you're solving problems for future generations, how many opportunities do you get to change the world? it was an opportunity i had to say yes to. >> shervin, i know lawsuits are sensitive. you have one going on. one of the co-founders. how important is it for you to get key talent into place at this stage where people might have questioned what hyperloop one will be like as a going concern? >> absolutely not. we're focused on the future. we'll make history in q1 of 2017

i don't know whether to call it a debt raise or -- basically putting money into the company. third largest ports operator in the world, i believe dubai is known for big investments in infrastructure. what is their dream and how important are they going to be specifically in how you start to roll out this technology? >> absolutely. cargo has been the vision for this company from the first days i founded it. to be able to move cargo, the atoms as fast as possible as the bits. that's the vision here. dp world is an incredible partner and now investor and board member and sultan, the ceo has joined. he's a visionary. they operate and own 40 ports in 80 countries around the world. most likely we'll be breaking ground on some of these cargo
11:46 am
loops shortly in the future. it's a massive achievement to really get them on board with us. and also we've got zia from suma group joining us who owns ports and does logistics from around the world for suma group and caspian adventures. >> we talk about jobs that change the world. we don't even know how uber is going to change our lives fully yet. people are still trying to understand that. i wonder, hyperloop, uber, which job do you think changes the world more? >> i think you're -- we're headed to -- honestly an autonomous ecosystem. these are all pieces of the puzzle that are solving the problems that we're talking about. all you have to do -- i've now moved to l.a., all you have to do is drive around on the highways and see near ports how many trucks there are, how many congestion there is. the whole process, even if you have a short flight of going
11:47 am
