>> and despite a soft first half for auto sales the outlook remains strong >> welcome i'm tyler mathison we begin with the president's big overseas trip a very consequential one. he spoke early this morning point land and a short time ago landed in germany and his first face to face meeting with russia's vladimir putin. eamon javers is live in hamburg with the very latest >> reporter: that meeting with vladimir putin will come tomorrow here in hamburg but today president trump has landed in air force one and just met with angela merkel, the chancellor here in germany that meeting so much anticipation for it given the fact that there was this little diplomatic snafu between two leaders in washington, d.c. where angela merkel went in for a hand shake, donald trump didn't see it or acknowledge it, didn't look at her today we got a hand shake

between the two leaders. take a look at some pictures that just came in, the two leaders meeting here in hamburg. we got the hand shake, a direct look between two leaders that's also being commented on here in the press. earlier today we saw this fascinating moment in warsaw where the president was with the president of poland. there a much warmer reception from the leader in poland and also from crowds in the streets there. the president making comments about lng, energy exchanges between two countries, military exchanges between two countries. he praised the fact that the president of poland is a tough negotiator here's what he said. >> first shipment of liquified gas arrived in poland last month and more is coming he's a tough negotiator. >> the president joking key do

an lng deal in a short period of time, looking for staffers to draw up some contracts on-the-spot. >> we can enter a contract for lng within the next 15 minutes, do you have anybody available to negotiate. it would take about 15 minutes we're becoming a great exporter of energy. very soon we'll be a very great exporter of energy and we've taken a lot of unnecessary regulations out of our process and we're doing things that we haven't been able to do for a long time. >> now a lot of reporters here in germany were after an opportunity to get what's called a pool spread between angela merkel and donald trump at the end of their meeting, an opportunity to go in with cameras and see the meeting. the german side turned down that request. that possibly because there's so many flash points between these two leaders when it comes to immigration, climate, trade.

all of those things angela merkel has a political incentive to embrace donald trump and point out her differences with him at the same time she's welcoming him here to her country. all those diplomatic sensitivities may be in play to not allow pictures at the end of that meeting where we saw pictures at the top of that meeting earlier today. back to you. >> in europe energy is power russia holds much of the energy. which means russia has much of the power. it is responsible for 30% of europe's gas needs a full 13 nations rely on russia for 75% of their gas germany takes in the most by far. but even poland where the president spoke today and talked about liquified natural gas is reliant on russian gas every year much of that gas accident to europe through a massive

pipeline which snakes across russia through the ukraine into continental europe controlling ukraine is important. but russia and germany want to change that. they are currently working on a second generation pipeline bringing huge volumes of gas from a port in western north part of russiadown through the baltic sea and into northern germany. it's called nord stream two. it would double the capacity of the current pipeline but also bring in more russian dominance of gas and energy which means russia would wield own more power over russia we'll talk about that and more of president trump's energy plan and his g-20 challenges let's welcome in executive vice president of the german marshal fund he was assistant secretary of

defense under president obama. welcome. let's talk about energy. first let's start with the president's speech in poland this morning which took on a bit of an apo ok calyptic tone. do you see it that way what did you make of the speech overall as a walk up to his ameliorating tomorrow with mr. putin? >> well, in many instances the speech was a tale of two speeches the president said some things many europeans were hoping to hear about u.s. commitment to nato, u.s. commitment to a strong defense, u.s. commitment to our mutual security that was all good. but the president also cast a pretty dark tone in much of the speech along the lines of the american carnage part of his inaugural address talking about the civilization struggle we're in, revealing perhaps more

revealing than the speech of what he said before he was defensive about the russian meddling in the election, took some shots at the u.s. press influencing nbc and that could have been a defensive posture. >> let's talk about two specific items there. one is did he make explicit, which he did not do back when he met with european leaders in may or nato leaders in may, i should say that the united states would view an attack on any of the nato allies as an attack on all and would respond. that's question one. did doe that >> he did. he referenced article 5 of the nato charter which is that the mutual defense clause of our commitment to nato >> and to russia he went in a couple of directions there one as you pointed out he was a little equestion vocal whether russia and russia alone was responsible for election meddling

i want you to talk about that and what you think that tees up tomorrow but he was explicit was he not in saying that russian interference and mischief in other parts of the world including the ukraine, presumably and also its support of rogue regimes in syria and iran needed to be adressed >> again, the tough language on russia was what he read in a speech that was clearly written noirm. it was important that he said what was said. many europeans were hoping to hear those words he had not said that it would have been big news that was good. but on the other hand what he was asked in the press conference and speaking off the top of his head he suggested a lit more hesitation on pointing the finger at russia when it came to meddling in our election >> let's go back in time for a little bit and then look to today. considering what many thought president trump would do when it comes to russia versus where we

are today, the administration has been far tougher on them than most people expected, hasn't it? >> again, it depends at what you're lacking at. when you look at our defense posture, general mattis, secretary mattis has articulateed a policy that's in continue without the previous administration >> there was a prediction sanctions would be gone. >> not so soon people were unsure that's why we're looking at this meeting tomorrow we know president putin will have offered certain things to president trump whether it's cooperation in syria against isis or a discussion about ukraine. the question is what price will he ask in return president trump has talked about having a good relationship with russia and something we should desire that's sensible and easy to have a good relationship with russia, just do everything putin wants you to do. what is putin going offer. what will he ask for in return

and what does president trump find tempting enough to consider >> we'll find out. thank you. down day for stocks. how much stocks playing into it. dominic chu is looking into it >> whether stocks slid as a whole or etfs have more of a sway you can argue with the popularity of fefs more investors are going that route and therefore they have more influence over the overall markets. bank of america, merrill lynch noted when it comes to fund management the number of dollars being managed has doubled since 2009 it now represents 37% of all u.s. based equity tied funds that's big only about 19% from 2009 you take a look at how much this index investing mentality has taken hold the s&p 500's total value as a market cap is now almost 7%

controlled by just vanguard one of the biggest etf and index investing companies out there. back in 2010 it was about half that amount. huge move into passive investing. among southeast stocks that took most their float, available shares for trading are now owned by etfs. they point out 23 stocks in the s&p 500 have at least 20% of their total floats in etfs le get and platt, people's united airlines bank, newmont, cincinnati insurance kroup as we talk about the implication the idea here is with all of these etfs there could be unintended consequences with regard to market liquidity and volatility that could play in if f etfs continue. >> a lot of people believe "the

herd" mentality when it comes to etfs let's bring in two strategists guys, good to have you here. is it a coincidence that on this day where we see interest rates rising again that we see some of the highest multiple stocks particularly the tech stocks selling off? do those two things go hand-in-hand what do you think? >> well, obviously, there's a correlation between the two, but i'm still not believing this higher interest rate argument because quite frankly we're back to where we were a month ago in terms of the ten year and 30 year we still have seven european countries with a negative two year yield and japan with a negative two year yield. on a long term basis we have a long ways to go before it has a

significant impact >> how about you >> i think interest rates when they rise remind you that discount rates when it comes to equities are important and paying too much is not a good thing from a longer point standpoint very often when interest rates rise or something happens in the market to remind people they need take a look at their portfolio they tend to shy away when some of their portfolio holdings have risen much too high >> what do you believe right now? so presumably it's safer to buy southeast stocks how about you >> it's slow rise of rates not strong inflationary pressures. >> steve, can i go back to the previous piece on etfs quickly isn't there a risk, forget about "the herd" mentality that bad

company with bad management and bad models are seeing their stocks go up because if you're a company that's misma nagged in a bad industry your stock is going to go up does that frustrate you? >> right well, it is frustrating. think about it if all the money is pouring in to a passive index and your portfolio deviate from that index, mathematically you'll be behind the eight ball. yes. certainly there's an impact there that is maybe not the best economically for the market but at the end of the day, given the expense slice of these passive investments i think it will be a while before we see this trend end. but also the child an eight year bull market. put money in the s&p it goes up every year at some point when there's a bull market it will put a

wrinkle in the game plan >> the etfization, a tricky word to say, is that when there are stocks outperforming, we have talked about this market being a narrowly led market in that the big cap tech stocks have been the market leaders decidedly so far this year. you say the money pouring into big etfs could have pushed those stocks higher. so when you're taking a look at equity risk premium and seeing interest rates go higher that's where the unwind is the hardest isn't it bruce is that justified in this instance >> tonically when things turn down that's right. in the meantime, those corrective pull backs in the market often temper that and it's very common for fairly few issues to lead the market at any one point in time and then you rotate to soelgs sometimes off the correction, sometimes merely rotating from one group to another >> is this the time for rotation in your view ortoo early given

where interest rates are and even though we've seen a rise in the past week in the broad context of things, they are still low? >> there's typically an ongoing rotation that's fairly frequent from group to group. i think it's a little bit early to give up on the tech stocks entirely from that standpoint. but i think having some rotation is probably a sign of health within the market and it means that everything keeps advancing and keeps the breadth at levels that's reassuring. >> thank you, gentlemen. coming up game changer or gimmick? a giant vending machine that dispenses cars meet the company that's selling used cars in a different way talk about doing things differently. would you let total strangers manage $50,000 of your hard earned money one man is doing just that

there will be a one-two punch for investors on general electric where there cube kitchen sink moment for the stock. then what's broke isn't that easy to fix. >> yeah. absolutely i think the new ceo announcement is a positive because i think he'll come that with a clean sheet of paper but, now, last 16 years, you know, there's been a lot of investment perhaps in places where there shouldn't have been and so to fix that kind of structural overcapacity and kind aflac of earns growth in the industry they compete in, it's going to take a lot of time so what we think will happen the $2 number that's the anchor for street over the last two years, as they move towards a gap estimate which more fairly reflects the dollar of free crash flow that they generate currently that reset is not in the stock at 27 and we see a

price target of 22 >> one of the frustrations for many investors is the perception general electric made all sorts of deals at terrible times whether exiting the financial business at the wrong time or getting into the oil and gas business at the wrong time how do they undo that or do they >> to undo that will take resetting expectations for investors and then second of all given they are currently paying out almost 100% of their dividend in their free cash flow, you know, there's not a lot of extra cash for them to kind of do things in a creative way. site will take i believe a heavy amount of cash restructuring that's not in our numbers. we kind of estimate at a high level somewhere in the $5 billion range over the next several years to kind of adjust capacity again, that's kind of the point of the note. there's missouriy way out of this a lot of blocking and tackling and ultimately a number that's lower and not growing as fast.

>> do they cut their dividends what's going to happen >> i do not think they cut the dividend but they cut the buy back, which is diluted >> how far along are they in that buy back? >> about $7 billion and a five cent cut to our estimate there's no extra cash accruing to be used for creative purpose. >> how long does this take place. you have a $22 price target. it's now 26. how long does this transformation take. >> i think they are currently discussing it. we won't hear anything on the second quarter you'll get something somewhere around september maybe october as late as november when you hear the land for the next several years from the new ceo >> thank you stephen tusa a big warning about the american housing market from one top fed head what he said that atught everybody's attention

agencies their investing group co-founded a company that produced movies prior to the acquisition blue man group was owned by two of its co-founders as well as the gf private equity fun. the concept for blue man group began in the late '80s >> if this is to diversify away from the circus arts what the blue man group in terms of its market differentiation what do you call them. they are not circus senators. >> they do a lot with music. they record some all bups. they are big into the music scene. a different type of audience according to people close to the deal i asked would we see a blue man theme circus show. >> have you been

there's your etf for the bank. on the ascent. interest rates the losers. they are having a tougher time your reits and telecom and home construction to the down side. heavy volume exchange traded fund high yield etf and the other one that's in the investment grade corporate bond group also getting very heavy volume today. the retail, another down day o'reilly automotive stock down, continuing fallout from the amazon story here. this has been going on for several weeks now. want to point out any do it yourself market has been weak. home depot is sitting right near the lowest levels since going back to march. even that's not working right now. guys, back to you. >> financials finishing the first half strongly. the xlf, etf attract bank stocks

super. while the big banks boosted dividends after passing the stress test our next guest says there's a reason not to love the bank stocks. jason, welcome banks are up today kbe, highest level since march but you have pulled back on your bank holdings. why? >> we're concerned really that banks are going to follow the yield curve and that's what we're seeing with banks moving higher as bonds curve deepen but we don't think this is sustainable. we think the yield curve will stabilize. with bond yields is around inflation, inflation has been persistently low so many factors coming together beginning with wireless carriers and the pharmaceutical sector drug prices are being held

back -- >> lower inflation or less robust world inflation means the fed doesn't have the ability to raise rates lifting the yield curve. >> that's right. not only does it put pressure on the long term bonds making the yelled curve flat but it will be hard for the fed if inflation continues to be low. or raise rates at the end of the year as forecast if they don't raise rates bank holdings will be disappointing they are buying less stock, right? they are buying less of what's out on the long end of the curve. just the mere notion that mario draghi might stop buying long term bonds has pushed german yields up. regardless of what's happening with inflation and everybody has seen those low inflation numbers yields started to rise because of the perception that lack of federal reserve and central bank intervention will happen in the future

so doesn't that worry you? >> the market certainly is adjusting to what's happening in europe with the pros be aspect of reduced kiwi. the fed will begin on this process of balance sheet fed has been very slow and deliberative and fed president pat parker said the process would be like watching paint dry. i take him at his word so much global institutional demand that we think that the fed will be able to slowly step back from the markets. >> what's most important a yield curve or decent economic growth because i would think that bank bulls would argue that, you know, a yield curve of where it is now is okay with a decent back drop of economic growth and you layer on top of that about $93 billion in buy back that was

green light by the fed last week pup have a recipe for bank stocks to do okay at least >> we think the yield curve is most important but economic growth matters because it translates into loan growth. so loan growth has been popping. as we look ahead it may slow down again the first reason it's important is look what happened with crude oil prices declining and what that happens with the energy industrial sector. many banks are reluctant to end. there's real estate that's pulling back regulators telling them to be careful. and mortgage rates are higher than they were a year ago and squelched demand

the head of the office of government ethics is stepping down six months before his term is slated to end after repeatedly clashing with the trump administration in his letter of resignation letter walter schwab said it was a great honor and privilege. he'll be heading to a none profit to head its ethics program. in an interview he said he was not pressured by the administration to resign he was not pushed out. he believed he reached the limit of his usefulness. he had done all he could do and believes that quote they needed to strengthen the ethics program overall. so, again, walter schwab announcing his resignation in a letter just a few minutes ago. >> from banks to autos and this is pretty cool when you want to buy a used car forget about going to a dealer how about going to a giants vend

magazine shin? for cars no we're not kidding phil lebeau joining us from chicago. >> we're talk about carvana. they are trying to disrupt what happens to the used vehicle industry in terms of going to a dealership as many people imagine. carvana is about buying and selling used cars. can you have it delivered to your house or they can pick it up from you or you could go to one of the five car vend magazine shins that carvana has around the united states and these vending machines not only be essentially where you get your vehicle delivered to you but also an opportunity for them to market what the company is all about. since its ipo, carvana had a nice move higher take a look at shares since may 1st it moved up substantially. can carvana truly disrupt the automotive industry in term of the dealership model, in

particular the used dealership model. remember we talk about new vehicles and their sales keep in mind that used vehicle sales are far greater about 41, 42 million used vehicles will be sold and a number of established new automobile chains are looking to build their own used vehicle dealerships, in other words used only. would you go there if you want to buy a three year vehicle. auto nation is one of those. opening its used only dealership next month clearly carvana having a nice move over the last month or two. interesting to see what's happening with carvana lost money in the last quarter that it reported earnings. let's see how they can develop the business going from here >> phil, thank you here to explain more how carvana works is the ceo's ceo andy garcia this is fascinating. most people who want to sell a

car don't want to list their car on craigslist and have a stranger come over to their house. how do you deal with what's going on, macro trends in the used car industry in terps of der clieng vehicle prices. the declines are pretty steep and pretty fast. you actually hold on to that inventory very long? what is your exposure in terms of those assets depreciated. >> the first thing i would start is where you started for us we're growing at triple-digit rates the major part of the story is what we do over the nextsevera years. the macro factors won't play in too heavily because we're growing so fast anything macro is small compared to what we're doing day-to-day we do hold inventory the average retailer holds inventory for 45 days. the exposure straightforward some of the post dire forecasts

for deappreciatidepreciation isr day. ends up a small factor when your carry time short >> we looked at pictures of the car vending machines how many do you have now how many do you expect you'll have in three years. how much do those things cost to build? how easy is to it get the permitting to build them >> sure. so let me try to put that in context. first we want to give customers great experience in buying cars. we said let's look at our dealerships. if we can address those expenses we can give our customers simpler expenses a lot is labor, building out the website that's fully transactional. that allow us to address those

costs. they spend money on physical dealership >> i would like to get your answer to my question and that is how many of she's anesthetist vending machines do you have, how many due expect to have and how much they do cost you and how easy is it to get the permits. >> five today we've added four over the last 12 months. we expect to continue to build them out cost of them ranges it depends on the cost of the land, but generally they are about 20% as expensive as a big box dealership and then we can move significant more volume out of each of those vending machines the cost per sale is very low. >> if i'm in the market for a used car, why would i use carvana versus carmax. to me you look like a company that sells cars online >> yep fair i think the reason would be you go to a website. we have 7,000 cars you can pick

from it's growing fairly quickly. go through the entire purchase process in five to ten minutes getting approved for financing trade in value for you car >> do you make it easier for me to sell my current car one of the appeals of going a dealership is i drive one thing in, boom it's gone when i drive something else out. how easy do you make that? that's often hard part of the equation for people. i don't want to deal with craigslist or people calling me in the middle of the day to see my car >> so i think the boom is gone if you go to a dealership takes four hours ours can take tone 15 minutes. then we deliver the car. if you're selling the car we pick it up and drive it away >> do you get more money from a trade-in towards a new car or

another car or with a check because that's the frustrating thing is, you know, dealers will give you more value if you buy a car rather than cutting you a check. where do you guys come in? >> it's the same price regardless it's important to us as a fwroond be straightforward and transparent. if you're looking for cash we'll give you a check >> same value? >> same value. >> you are not expected to buy a car. i can give you my car and walk away >> your choice. >> any haggling or negotiation >> there's not prices are fixed interest rates are fixed if a customer wants a warranty they toggle a switch up and down trade in value is fixed. we make activity simple. try to put our best foot forward and try to make it painless and fun. >> vending machine cool thanks >> do they give you a coke as

manager, is the crowd better than individual money manager? >> well, we are beating the nasdaq at the moment but probably because the nasdaq is so far down. i think they're down of 1% over the past 30 days we are about breaking even we are beating them. it looks like you are up about 100 bucks on $50,000, is that right? >> yes, last time i looked is about maybe 100 or $200 profit on the whole thing just about broken even, i guess. >> what's going to happen when you wrap up the contest, who's going to get the money >> i plan on leaving it. if it holds below $25,000 in value, it will be forced to be shut down of regulations other than that, yeah, just leave it >> we like the pacman style technology screen there. thank you very much for joining us, good luck with your experiment, we'll have to check

you can take a look at your screen on two live pictures right now on the streets of hamburg in germany police a protesters throwing bottle

these are anarchists once again, we see protesters clashing with police we are looking to get aimed on >> protesters protesting globalization to your point. we know the world has gotten, maybe not smaller but certainly there is more of a retreat inside their own borders >> i wonder if this is a different group or the same group who just tweaked for a different reason, tyler? >> aimen is a few blocks away and able to tell us what he sees on the ground there. >> protesting against globalization and there is a retweet that you would think happier at the moment and pleased of what's going on in the world. >> of course, this is happening after president trump met with

angela merkel for about an hour of g-20 summit >> there is the word of the year, can we zoom in "angry." >> people are just "angry. >> i don't think we have control of this camera this is a live feed from roueuts of the associated press. i think you are right. angry is just the word >> uh-huh. >> the feeling to it this is not new. i think there are also a feeling, guys, that there is too much power and there countries g together and there is a feeling that i would imagine based on the science that we see over the years, don't do this and you are ganging up on the world. >> one of the key points of what was hammering and what was noticed and when the planning

happened, was the particular logistic logistics of the set up of g-7 summit other meetings, they set the perimeters very far, far way that's not what's happening here there were reports that police are seizing various weapons and things in advance for fears of something like this. >> i don't remember whether it is a g-20 meeting. i know many remembering the riots and seattle. i don't remember it was a g-20 >> yeah. >> and the hotels were locked down then. >> yeah. >> we want to check in on the markets. where he wa 2017 is the level right now we are off the session lows by about four points.

it is worth noting that all s&p 500. >> german police seize nood knis and baseball bats. they are calling this antic anti-capitalist riots. >> many of the protesters are using iphones. >> all right, the irony is not lost >> you got the point >> protesters is kind of a culture, too they're called "welcome to hell." there is official names of the protest. there were different protests where people dressed up as zombies. this next story, one of america's hottest company is

under fire today tesla is losing more than 5% of its value of the less safety report of their stocks, their market is down 20% from its most recent highs joining us more on the tesla, ne news, phil lebeau. >> it is highly respected within the autoindustry for doing these tests. it is the driver's side hitting the poll and how did the dummy inside reacted model s is not a top safety pick among the six large sedans that were tested. it does not an acceptable rating in this particular crash they're not calling it an unsafe vehicle. i did not do as well as it could have done and the seat belt could have done a better job in protecting the crash test dummy.

the most objective, independent testing is currently done by the u.s. government which found the model, s and model x to be the two cars with the lowest probability of injuries of any cars that it has ever tested, making them the safest cars in history. some people are saying wait a second, how can you be the safest if you only got the acceptable rating from the iihs. last quarter, they sold 12,000 of these model s and incredible popular. we talked about that for some time i think there are other safer choices when it comes to large sedans like the model s. i am not calling it unsafe, there are other choices and we talked about this in terms of the share price today down more than not more than 20%, officially in bare market territory and under pressure

today. massive protests is breaking out ahead of the g-7 summit in h h hamburg. >> what do you see >> reporter: we have been seeing images coming through. we are in the secured zone where the media hotel is, we can see some security helicopters over head monitoring the situation. earlier we saw enormous numbers of police being deployed tlo throughout the city. they had armor personnel carried and giant bulldozers front to them and all of those assets deploying throughout the city. last night there was a relatively large protest here where i am standing about anti-capitalist protesters here

march ma ing in the streets >> we are having trouble with his mic right there, we'll let you get it fixed you are a couple of blocks away clarifying from these images you can see we have seen some of that action as well. perhaps on the right of use of plastic bags at this point >> lets get back to the markets here tesla, shares are in bear market territory the price of 430 bucks from $38. >> rob, it is great to have you with us. >> thanks for having me. >> i wonder how you get to 430 i am assuming this a 12-month price target >> yes you kept a lot of your estimates for the auout years on change. why the increase foolishness and

the price? >> simply because it is all about model three and they confirm it is going to start production this month. that's a milestone that three or six months ago that i did not think a lot of people will hit the event production to me was worth raising the price target my evaluation, you have to look forward to justify evaluations i value tesla numbers where i think eps can grow to 20 bucks and discount it today. >> it is july 2017 right now and you are valuing tesla 12 months based on 2020. are you giving themmi one big jie giant benefit of the doubt there in execution >> you have to invest in the

2018 and 2019 type numbers the company is putting up a massive amount the value on today's number does not make a heck of a lot >> if they built it, they'll be bought >> right >> the bet is that exactly, people will buy the cars and so you know the last chapter looks like they had 400,000 of the model three. their model three production will be soaked up until mid 2019, just based on today's order. >> further to melissa's point of the distance which you have to look in order for what you believe to come true is interest rates and rising interest rates and we see any stops that's got a high multiples where their earnings are far out in the future when interest rates rise those stocks will pull back. your calculation as an investor are completely different the

higher interest rates go how nervous are you that we are going to start to see interest rates rise that's out of your control and ultimately hurts the case where we are investing any stocks of the multiples that tesla has >> higher interest rates can work against in any of the all stocks or virtually all stocks >> this is relatively special case where you got a company as i said who's putting in the investment now for cars planning to make in the fouuture. i think purely looking on today's numbers and hey, they are losing money, would not make a lot of sense with that said, i think the numbers, model three is going to start in production and we'll see the numbers get a lot better rapidly over the next eight or nine or ten quarters i think that we got a car so the model three is going to launch this year. i am looking at 16,000 unit.

next year, they can produce 250,000 of them. this is a stock that can rocket higher or have a downdraft which we are seeing right now. can you tell me this is the floor and this is what the company is actually worth today? >> what would that number be >> frankly of evaluations of any stocks tesla is a volatile stock because today earnings' the

stocks and trade, i cann-- >> any indication of finite demand >> yes >> i love the car by the way is there any indication that it is a fad for a couple of thousand people and that's it. >> that does go to the ultimate point which is the question long-term is, is there demand for hundreds of thousands and millions of electric cars. yes or no. if you believe there is then tesla is in good shape and i think they're several years ahead of competition if it turns out and the world does not want electric cars. tesla is not a good stuff. i think that's the ultimate question, i believe -- i think people generally want electric cars and tesla's several years

ahead of the pact. >> rob, thanks appreciate it. president trump is stopping ahead of the g-summit. after north korea's latest missile test >> we must confront the threat from north korea it is a threat and we'll confront it very strongly. the president and i pulling all nations to confront this global threat and publicly demonstrate to north korea that there are consequences for their very, very bad behavior. >> this comes up after yesterday's united nation where nikki haley made this comment. >> the united states is prepared to use full range of our

capabilities to defend ourselves and allies one of our capabilities lies with our military forces we'll use them if we must. we prefer not to have to go in that direction >> joining us now, doug, good to have you here, you were just in pyongyang three weeks ago. what do you make of comments from nikki haley and the preside president, doug bandow the problem is from the north korea's standpoint, the more threats you make for them, you will have stronger missi-- the question is where does the administration go from here? that's the problem that the president is facing. >> what about china? everybody points their fingers to china and that they need to

do more. what can the u.s. do to get china to do more >> china does not have to do more just because we told them to do so i mean, we have to engage and china is going to do this only if we convince them of their interest, it is going to cost them >> before we get to troop deployment or so forth, is it likely that the president will tie u.s. trade with china with china's performance and putting pressure oconn north korea and maybe affecting changes there

and second, should we be talking the north korea. >> this is a security issue for china. you imagine somebody coming into the u.s. say we'll give you economic benefits and the u.s. response, wait a minute, this is a vital interest to us you probably won't convince them right now we are getting nothing out of north korea they're moving ahead and don't care what we think we need to talk to them. this is a real problem we have no good answers but the past has not worked so at least we need to put up a channel of communication. >> good to have you on massive protests breaking out of germany ahead of the g-7 summit back to aimen.

>> right now the holding area where they have been there earlier this afternoon authorities troo ying to removee face mask and protesters don't want to do that because they don't want to be identifying marks. there is a confrontation going on behind us this area here, ironic they are doing the g-20 there is a large group of police and david, you may be able to turn around and see these guys moving into position right around the hotel and moving down we have seen large numbers of police here throughout the city over the past 24 hours or so, michelle they have been propositioned and looks like they have the

situation around here in control. >> they have been using water cannons on protesters already. it is not dark here in hamburg, germany yet, we are seeing nighttime rise activities. things over the years like these tend to heat up at night very detectible in the air here during the course of the protests i think as the night goes on, this will definitely heat up around here. >> tell us about the area where you are. i am reading that there were criticisms of holding g-20 in this densely populated part of the inner city of the long running history. and police were concerned of this particular location >> reporter: yeah, like i said, this area just behind me along the water front is known as the traditional headquarters in hamburg, this and our hotel is right here the establishment figure of the

world's economy is right here of the establishment figure of the movement we are a couple of blocks of the district of hamburg. this maybe not necessary the right location to drop the g-20 in the middle of all of that and particularly with president trump coming here at a time when american leaders is not extraordinary popular. when globalization is not extraordinary popular here in germany as well. >> all of that leading to this sort of moment where you do see a lot of people on the streets right here, it is relatively calm we heard a few splash bangs down the road here a minute ago we got a friend here trying to get himself on television. otherwise, pretty calm here.

>> i think the observation today that these are organized annicus. >> markets seem to be sharpening off. >> i have been told that marijuana can often make you like dazed and prone to chill out a little bit >> marijuana and smoke we went to the protest >> it was common and mellow here yesterday. >> today, you can feel the tension wrapping up here they're calling it welcome to hell >> thank you very much stay safe, we'll see you the rest of the day. thank you.

diana olick is joining us. >> the value of the strip mall centers of the whole foods shot up and competitors are facing a big challenge. centers of whole foods will see more foot traffic especiall especially -- now they have a reason to go prices are lower and they picked up some bedding along amazon while that will hit the grosser chain and connected stores, it will hit the real estate underneath harder. >>. >> the best retailers are likely to design being in the whole foods center >> lets talk about the reads that could take a big hit. regency, roic and wine garden. the most expose todd the whole foods competition. on the flip side, regency as a

namely, healthy, organic products and if you had the whole things are available for amazon, you cannot say all of them or most of them fit in the brand definition that whole foods have >> that's more of a retail question, of course. what it will do is drive more foot traffic to the center and the more foot traffic you have not just to whole foods but the surrounding stores that's where you see occupancies so up and more traffic going up. >> they're benefiting now because amazon is going to be apart of it. they were suffering because amazon amazon them out of business >> absolutely. i asked the question, well, would the warehouses suffer because of this because we have seen such a growth in the a warehouse sector this could become one of those distribution center. >> thank you diana

and 2011 and not a lot of people went into it you see a lot of programs that takes four years to develop and a lot of people are retiring in the same year as right now what we are doing is focusing on the youth of punisher programs and the technical schools where we are going out to the high schools as well as donating materials and our time to incentivize the younger yen realizations to join the trade >> maybe green bay or wisconsin having the lowest rate in our country, soon. >> are you having a hard time where you have to pay more >> it is a challenge i am involved in a lot of our senior management is involved. i think i hear a lot of people say it is a big challenge but at the same time with these executives, they spend a portion of their days and week going to

it is been a tough run for me it is now down 4% of 30 days and 100 stocks are down 10% during that time. is this the start of something more serious or just a slight swoon? >> is this something to worry about or an unhealthy pull back, boris? >> tech is under assault from many angles and apple needs a huge hit of iphone 8 and a thousand a pop, i don't know if they are able to get that. there seems to be problems all over the place now momentum has shifted long-term though, tech is a solid place, for now, i think

there is more to be done >> ari, in tech. sentiment has shifted, has it shifted temporarily or permanently? >> temporarily how we see it this is run of the bill and healthy and pull back following a terrific run for this group. potentially depends on time on a certain degree near term, i think we could get additional cons consolidati consolidation. it is going to be more sideways in nature. the key level we are watching in terms of the cues and nasdaq in particular is 133. that's with lineup with the break away gap from april. this will be a minor retracement of what was a terrific rally into its most recent highs ultimately, we think the long-term trend does we assume higher when that is the case, pull backs should be bought whefor buyers >> loud and clear.

thank you boris. more more on trading nation, go to tradingnation @cnbc.com >> joining us on the news line is fred kemp he's in poland where president trump is speaking earlier today. our totality is we have been watching these protests unveil, is that whether it is globalization from the wto meetings from 10 or 15 years ago or anticapitalist protests we are seeing this happens at all of these meetings can you add anything to this discussion as we watch the police water cannon and a lot of black clouds and protesters with masks on their face. >> the police asked the protesters to remove their masks

because of anarchists are not supposed to do that. i think there is a law against it they attacked police vehicles with bottles and bricks. this was all predictable you have to start asking why they even have these meetings in the city like hamburg, it is a heart of the capitol of the left the district which they have the district of the meeting is the heart of these protesters. so it is it is provocatiprovocas they title their protest g-20, welcome to hell. there are 20,000 police in the city from all over and not just from hamburg this was all predictable the question is, is it worst than they expected or not as bad as they expected >> i don't know.

it looks pretty bad. i am not sure given all the run up to it that anybody would be surprising it is not really about donald trump, it is really the same group, maybe he fired them up a little bit more but he's a little of globalization himself. >> fred, why do you think they do this? holding this meeting in a town like hamburg there is plenty of places in the world, g-20 countries are hard for a lot of people to get to by men and women who are flying in private jets with military in helicopters. why don't they go some where that other people don't want to go and do what they need to do and get the heck out of there and get something done >> i am sure there is some internet political reasons for this probably to do with elections in the fall i don't know it but i am going to check into it and figure it out.

the thing is, there is been a lot of places in germany, there is -- there are a lot of places in terms of the area, there is just a lot of places in germany where this would not happen and this was almost, you know, there is no way to avoid this. the only question is how bad it is going to be >> you mentioned they're not protesting donald trump. how do you think the president is doing so far on this trip the trip to poland, this is wanted to come the trip to germany, it is a summit necessity, he cannot refused to come.

rudy jullianni he says he does not give ada da. he's continue to be tough on trade deficits >> interesting thing, right after the eu and the japanese have announced the new trade deal the japanese have been very clear they're really unhappy and they're hoping this may bring the americans back to the table in some form, they're actually starting to lose out in asia >> there are interesting back stories of the g-20. >> japan today signed an accord with the european nations to do free trade

>> i heard some japanese comments on that they were able to do a great deal with japan and so lets see if this changes the trump administration at all. >> thank you to calling in as we watch these protests unfolded in hamburg, germany a market check here. the big drag on the dow down of nearly 4% and jp morgan. we are catchiwatching shares ofa now and it is down by 5.8% now telecom is down nearly 2%. we have more of "power lunch" straight ahead now the latest from trading nation the words from our sponsors. >> the number of shares sold is called short interest. short interest is often used to gauge market sentiment

robert frank, one of the first people in the world to drive a new bugatti that can go -- that can go more than 250 miles an hour, but this may be his only chance as it costs $2.6 million. he's test driving it in greenwich, connecticut hey, how does it feel? >> it feels great, michelle. $3 million great this is the fastest production car on the planet, and most expensive at $3 million once you add all the options. it's more like $3.5 million. now, they don't publish the top speed of this car. it's limited right now to only 261 miles an hour. lets me give you a flavor of

what this car can do are you guys ready >> is that -- are you on the merrick parkway? >> reporter: that's just a little taste, about a third of the way down the accelerator on that. >> and how fast were you going >> reporter: only making 500 of these cars it says 45 miles per hour, so i was going 45 miles per hour. now they are only making 500 of these cars half of them are already sold, and just -- you hagot a taste of that engine, 1,500 horsepower. the last bay run, bugatti's previous car had only 1,200 this car is expected to go somewhere north of 240 miles per hour once they do the final speed car and the average bugatti owner owns 42 cars, five homes and three jets, so this is the richest car buyer on the planet that are

buying these cars, and there haven't been any delivered to the u.s. yet probably in the next few months there will be one or two, so this is one of the first cars to come to the u.s. i'm one of the first people to drive it it, and i have to say if i had $3 million, this car, when you're driving it just sort of smooth, normally, it's a very smooth comfortable car, not rigid or bumpy like a ferrari or lambo and you put the petal down and heart turbo kick in, and it's very, very, very smooth. >> where are you on the merritt parkway, robert. >> reporter: i can't really tell you where i am, brian, but i'm somewhere doing 45 miles an hour. >> i was just going to let that -- let the connecticut state police know where they could find you. >> that was tyler, are by the way, not me. >> i'm just annoyed that i'm not also driving that car, robert.

i hate you, you know that. >> reporter: i wish you were here we'll have to get one back for you, brian it is unlike any other car i've ever driven. it's addictive i wish i didn't have to leave this car today some day i might be able to buy one, but $3 million, half of them are already sole. they are only going to make 70 a year, and -- and, you know, it's going to be about an eight-year process to unload these cars, but really unlike any other car. >> great stuff. >> reporter: 1,500 horsepower. >> that's amazing. >> reporter: like having a leather seat with a jet engine strapped to your back. >> behind a honda odyssey going 30 in traffic. >> can't do anything about the traffic. >> reporter: thank you, guys. >> check, please. >> you thought that was check, please my check, please, is rising are rates, momentum stocks, they sell off when interest rates rise it's just like physics almost, so i'm not surprised to see things like tesla selling off. >> and as fortes larks we've got

gene munster, a really interesting note saying the release of the model three is like apple's iphone moment. >> starbucks quietly down 10% in the last 30 days what happened? >> rising rates, flattening yield curve or rising rates, but there's still a flat yield curve. usually signals recession but nobody is talking about that. >> thanks for watching "power lunch. "closing bell" starts now. hi, everybody. welcome to the "closing bell" today. i'm kelly evans at the new york stock exchange. >> i'm bill griffeth a lot of red across the board and nasdaq is giving back yesterday's gains, and tesla now has seen a 20% pullback from its most recent highs. talk about what's behind that decline specifically, among other things coming up here in just a few minutes. >> tesla down another 6% today big moves. >> yeah. >> meantime, protesters clashing with police in germany outside the g-20 sum
