he insisted the members pull their weight and increase defense spending. president trump: i want fairness for the united states. nato is very important. but nato is helping europe more than it's helping us. reporter: he expressed his support to do business with the u.k. with or without brexit. president trump: once the brexit process is conclude and perhaps the u.k. has left the e.u. i don't know what they are going to do. but whatever you do is okay with me. that's your decision. reporter: jpmorgan led with a strong quarterly report. their earnings rose 26%. and revenue climbed 10%. wells fargo missed big last square while citi's earnings report was mixed. despite trade concerns with

china, all three major markets closing firmly in the green. in washington the justice department announced indictments against 12 russian nationals. the doj indictment accuses them of hacking into several computer networks including the dnc and the clinton campaign. on capitol hill fbi agent peter strzok is forced to say publicly the contents of his texts with lisa page. he spent hours answering questions. hillary clinton's email use and possible collusion between the trump campaign and russia. >> that text was written late at night in the shorthand. >> i don't care with it was written, i don't care tonight was long hand or cursive. i don't appreciate having an fbi

agent with a high level of animus work on two investigations. reporter: the president nominated brett kavanaugh to replace anthony kennedy on the supreme court. the president described him as one of the sharpest legal mind much our time. maria: the markets rebounding after a steep sell-off wednesday spark bid concerns over an escalation in a trade dispute. how are investors positioning themselves in the midst of all this global uncertainty? joining me to answer all of that, global head of investment for citi private bank, david bailin. thank you for joining us. what a week. you had the president traveling overseas. he did nato and went to the u.k. to meet with theresa may.

and he's on his way to meet vladimir putin in helsinki. let's talk about all of this and the trade issues that came up in the nato meeting. you feel this a misunderstood issue. >> for investors it's extremely confusing. what is the purpose of having a trade war? it's to change the way trade is actually done in a way that favors the u.s. what are we concerned about in intellectual property rights and software rights. but what happens in terms of its economic impact is far different. what people underestimate is the degree to which this trade war could affect u.s. companies' earnings. you can imagine it reducing gdp. but you could have $100 billion reduction in earnings in the u.s. if you had a full-blown

trade war in the u.s. that what be 10% of large cap earnings. maria: i feel like this market has been giving this president and this administration some leeway. they believe he's negotiating. if not, i feel this market would be ray down if they didn't trust at the end of the day we will probably get a better outcome. >> that's not true in chain today and not true in the automobile industry. if you look at the ag industry, i think that is true. what do you make of that? the question is are we actively negotiating? there is mixed evidence. you have seen articles this week about the fact that there aren't active negotiations going on right now. maria: the president told me two weeks ago when i sat down with him in my exclusive interview that lots of countries are calling. he said lots of countries are calling and want to do a trade deal. but we have to see the trade

deals on the books. he has to get a deal done. is that one of the big issues you focused on in terms of how to invest? >> we looked at two contradictory trends. one is incredibly strong u.s. earnings and in europe and asia as well. that's the positive. negative is the impact a trade war could have on portfolios and actual investment by corporations. we see that as potentially significant. we are beginning to see signs of weakening already. maria: let's talk about the earnings season for the second quarter. we have jp more dan, wells fargo missed. i bleach city obviously you are from citi so we won't go there. but in terms of the overall earnings period how would you characterize it. >> our expectation is in the

aggregate earnings could be up 20 to 22%. it's a strong period of time for u. s-corporations. and yivment s. stocks are not moving. to your point when you say there hasn't been a lot of impact in the u.s. what would u.s. stocks be if the trade situation isn't what it is. i would argue the impact is significant. maria: you think we could see a reaction once we get the deals done. and if we don't get a deal done, the the same thing. >> correct. if a series of transactions get done, but especially with china and the nafta, then you would see the markets pop to the up side. if we go to a full-blown trade war. and we are talking $500 billion in tariffs, that would have a deleterious effect. maria: where do you see the opportunity around the world.

>> if you look at europe. we are probably at 17 times and europe is 13 1/2. european to bees have an average dividend of 4%. china is extremely cheap. it's trading under book value. it's an attractive market. it's an area where we want our clients to go. in emerging markets that are cheaper now, clients should be exposed there. the reason is because economic cycles are obviously taking place at different times. the u.s. is late in the cycle where the emerging markets and europe are actually less well advanced in their economic cycle. maria: so it doesn't bother you in terms of china that they are stealing intellectual property, that we are on the doorstep of the fight you are having. you want more exposure to china. >> as an investor you do.

i'm not in favor and we are not in favor of intellectual property theft. we think that's the area trade should be focused on. but when you look at it as an investor, wealthy clients want to basically build a portfolio. china represents 20% of the economy and .3% of the world equities. if you look out over 5-10 years you will want 10%, 15% of your equity portfolio in china. maria: david bailin from citi private bank. up next, the ceo of bar stool sports, erika march continuey. -- erika nardini. >> what i love about bar stool is we call it like it is.

completely relatable and into the same things they are into. barstool has evolved to cover and talk about the things we are interested in and we find that our fans are interested in as well. one of the things i say is traditional media companies, the people who make content are far away from the people who watch and engage with that content. at bartool we are very close. we have a ton of conversation that surrounding it nearly simultaneously. maria: millennials love barstool. when you first got the job, you were the only woman. >> yes. maria: was it cool? when you have all men does it morph into conversations that don't resonate with women? there was a story about espn

stepping away from barstool after a podcast contained offensive remarks against women. >> i loved barstool from the jump. i didn't get my own bathroom at the beginning which was a tactical mistake from the beginning. i always found barstool funny. at its core barstool is a comedy brand. but what i love about bartool is we call it like it is. every single personality calls it like it is. some traditional companies don't like that, our fans do. we have about 108 people now. we have a phenomenally talented cast of characters. pat mcafee came out of the nfl joined bartool sports.

dave himself is a larger than life character. and the list goes on and on. we have an incredibly talented group. they appeal to their own fans and appeal to the broader audience. and we try to wav weave those sy lines seamlessly. maria: rear in an era where original content is big. next year the whole media industry is trying to keep up. tell us how important that is in terms of original content. are you investing more in original content? >> yes. we invest in personalities and we invest in the content they make. what is different about barstool is how we make content. we make content very quickly. an idea goes from idea to

execution almost inand taken wasly. last flight we sold outer village plaza and created a punk rock band out of people who have day jobs. we think the idea of premium content has changed. and we understand that when you make something, the conversation around it and what happens after that piece of content is produced is what's most of important. >> when you look at the valuation of this company at this point, how do you feel? >> it's awesome. we worked really hard. dave and dan and kevin and keith, the original gang worked very hard for a long time. and we have seen an explosion in the last two years. i'm proud of every one at barstool. maria: i want to ask you what's next. we have erika nardini with us.

>> announcer: dozen of cross lines -- >> i don't think we'll take this company public. my father passed this truck down to me, that's the same thing i want to do with you. it's an emotional thing to watch your child grow up and especially get behind the wheel. i want to keep you know, stacking up the memories and the miles and the years. he's gonna get mine -but i'm gonna get a new one. -oh yeah when it's time for your old chevy truck to become their new chevy truck, there's truck month. get 18% of msrp cash back on all silverado 1500 crew cab lt pickups when you finance with gm financial. that's $9,000 on this silverado. plus, during truck month make no monthly payments for 90 days. wwe suit inspires cena: passionate debate and is worn like a badge of honor. and with good reason. because it means love and devotion for one's country.

love. but what really makes up this country of ours? what is it we love? it's the people. almost half the country belongs to minority groups. people who are lesbian. african american. and bi. and transgender. and native american. and proud of it! after all, what's more american than the freedom to celebrate the things that make us...us? this year patriotism shouldn't just be about pride of country. it should be about love. love beyond age, disability, sexuality, race, religion, and any other labels. because the second any of us judge people based on those labels, we're not really being patriotic, are we? because love has no labels. ♪(piano music) jessica! we need to leave. right now! i need to get something.

maria: welcome back to "wall street." i continue my conversation with barstool's erika nardini. >> most of people think barstool is just for guys. we tend to focus on what's funny. but nielsen just released information for us that says our audience is 45% female. it changes whether it's on our

blog or facebook or instagram. we are attracting a young audience and captivating them. maria: do you want to sell of any our content to bigger players? >> i tried that for a year. we did that with comedy central. it was an incredible persons to be on television. but what we realize, we have it all. we have production capabilities, distribution capabilities. we have the ability to monetize very effectively. so what tv offers us in allure and audience are actually things we have ourselves. maria: what's the end game here? do you want to take this company public? >> no. i have been through an i.p.o. i think there is a huge runway for barstool sports. i think this is a very dynamic company.

i think we become a consumer products company and i think we continue to be a media juggernaut. and i think it runway to build this out is very long, and we'll see where we belong. maria: the goal is to keep growing independently and not look for an acquisition. >> yes. maria: thank you very much. more "wall street" right after more "wall street" right after this. i joined the army after 911, cuz, um, i thought that was what i needed to do. we got our orders to go overseas and i went to baghdad, iraq. we were transporting a bomb sniffing dog to the polling stations. we rolled over two anti-tank mines, it blew my humvee up, killed my sergeant. after the explosion, i suffered a closed head injury, um, traumatic brain injury, loss of a limb,

burns to 60% of my body. when the doctors told me i reached my plateau, i did not want to hear that because i do not believe i have a plateau. so, i had to prove 'em wrong, which i am doing to this day and i will still do until the end of my days. i've gotten to where i am at because of my family. and, the wounded warrior project has helped me more than i can ever imagine. they have really been there to support me in my endeavors. my number one goal, basically, is to get close to where i was. i am more than ready to work hard to get to that goal. i am living proof to never give up and i will never give up.
