bob: yeah, so what we see basically and tencent is an amazing company.the most amazing growth stories anywhere today. we also see we have managed to build excellent businesses in 120 countries and the internet. we are not done. as we look for the right entrepreneurs, we find them. we actually trust them. we give them a lot of runway. we can actually do this again and again. and a good example is what we have done with flip cart in india where we have also found an opportunity really early, and we backed a founder that was in 2007 in india, looking at an e-commerce dream, wanting to build this great etail business. while there were no credit cards, no logistics, no structured retail, we backed them from early on, and he made something great happen, and that is what we do. emily: you bought that small stake in tencent back in 2001. it is now worth upwards of $150 billion. i am sure there has been some fascinating drama over the years whether to get into games or e-commerce. you have been ringside for all of this. and i am curious if you could share a littl

yeah right bob yeah this. is our own joke. but as every year there's been plenty of competition for germany's number one summer hit. this time there was a pile of powerful see by now mika. the more melancholy in my mind by the new orleans d'agostino has so far proven the song to beat in germany. and. then there's the big dance single of the summer courtesy of alvarado solaire with last into. but bella child was also getting people dancing in clubs and on the street. erling too is getting down to. so where did people here first hear bela shall. we say kind of thing i know it from money heist his wife. my son's a fan of the series now all the kids are raving about this song. they go crazy when they hear it i've since heard it myself on the radio and it is a really nice song. on the snake recession. these are. the bella child version featured on the spanish t.v. drama money heist has spawned a host of new ones. there have been over twenty covers alone this year's. sad sad sad sad. this is going on. there's this special unique thi

bob. >> yeah. it is definitely going to be another hot one here in the bay area. we expect later today the bank sign right there to start regurgitating temperatures. you heard them saying livermore is supposed to hit 98 degrees today. it manages the electrical supply. there is another one for today, wednesday. more people turn on their air-conditions. to help reduce this is flex alert. ask you to limit your use between the hour of 5:00 and 9:00 tonight. those are the hours they do not want you to be using appliances and turning on air-conditioning and such. here are tips that helped reduce that demand. they want you to set your thermostat at 78 degree os or higher. it raises the feeling of the temperature by 4 degrees. you can put your ac at 82. it doesn't feel the same. keep your doors and windows closed. tilt the blinds up. wash your clothes with cold water if that's possible. when you're washing your clothes or washing your dishes make sure that the washer is fully loaded and run those after 9:00 tonight. so the key to remember is between 5:00 and 9:00 today. t

bob? >> yeah, the -- the -- there had been an earlier episode of heroin addiction that focused in california and new york. and in both of those states they had developed a substantial civil commitment program for heroin addicts. governor rockefeller embraced the civil commitment approach to the problem. separate from that growing out of it the program called synonon became across mississippi as daytop and odyssey house which was therapy to the communities in new york city was an alternative treatment program that involved a year or two or three years of residential care of heroin addicts. it changed their character and that was the approach john lindsay, the mayor of new york, for what was going on -- those were the two sort of polar ideas. what happened was vincent dole started in the 1960's his program which involved giving the person an oral dose of methadone once a day. heroine addicts have to inject the drug and it is very unstable. method on, because it is overly effective, you can once a day dose. what he found is that with the use of methadone, it prevented having overdoses and stopp

bob: yeah, that actually is a big headwinds for the business.eginning of the air, we indicated that we thought we would see commodities increasing for the full year of about $1 billion. that now looks like $1.6 billion. that difference is largely due, if not entirely due, to what was the threat of tariffs originally and then real tariffs on steel and aluminum, because we can happened once thated threat was there and then the implementation of the tariffs, price of steel, the price of aluminum has released that well above the price is that we see outside of the united states. that is a big hit, primarily on our american businesses. david: price of steel, the price that was part of my interview with ford cfo bob shanks. still with us is nandini ramakrishnan of jpmorgan asset management. how do you take these? they are very different aspects. we have the commodities, steel and aluminum, as well as with european autos. as you assess a company, how do you factor this in? nandini: yeah, this is a big challenge without the tariffs are implemented acros

. >> i think he called bob gates yoda. >> yeah, his view was, both that there needs to be continuity in positions and you needed to reach out. bob gates had an under stated and clinical competent way of providing advice very calm. calls him yoda. but you know, i think that there were a couple ways. yes, you try appointments. we kept in place, the fbi director appointed by george w. bush, who was bob mueller. repeated republican appointee. then james comey, who was also a republican. ray lahood was a republican that was appointed. the transportation in our administration, bob mcdonald appointed to reform that agency. we frankly tried to appoint greg, republican member of congress, to the commerce department and ultimately, he pulled out at the end because he saw the direction toward obama and the congress. a number of appointments had different levels as well. another important point, though. you have been here from massachusetts. the healthcare bill, everybody forgets that it becomes so contention. the idea of a democratic legislature having worked with the republican governor, mitt r

oh, the fbi was led by the colleague and friend, longtime friend of bob mueller, wasn't it? >> yeah, it's interesting all the strings and attachments here. lou: yeah. >> it's a club-by place, that washington d.c. no wonder it's called the swamp. lou: a toxic swamp, indeed. >> yeah, it really is. you know, all you have to do -- americans are smart, they know this whole thing is a partisan scam. just look at the polling data. they know that bob mueller's partisan team of lawyers and investigators are driven by personal animus and political disagreement with president donald trump, so they're out to get him and, thus, the title of my book, "the russia hoax." lou: this'll be the second reference to "the russia hoax." >> shameless plug, but it comes out on tuesday. lou: i'm sorry, what was the relationship that you were drawing? >> the russia hoax -- [laughter] this was begun by james comey and his longtime partner, ally and friend bob mueller took it over. lou: yep. and don't forget his good friend, hillary clinton. >> oh, yeah. lou: so wronged in all of this. >> yeah, it's a shame. and

. >> i go on to the guys that i'm bob menendez's assistant, sean moore. yeahis is sean moore, sean after connery, moore after roger. and so now i go, okay, i'm -- okay, i'm about to get -- let me just connect you to the senator. they asked me, you know, what's the tsunami of senator bob menendez's wife. they asked me, you know, how many kids does he have? i would not have known anything. they didn't ask me one question. jared kushner, trump's right-hand man, does not know that this is the worst fake english accent in the history of the world and does not -- i mean, how does that happen? >> let's bring back melanie and jonathan for this. jonathan, nbc has not confirmed that it is president trump's voice on the audio, but the white house is also not saying that stuttering john's account of the phone call is false. so are you willing to give the white house the benefit of the doubt that this could have happened, possibly in any administration? >> yeah, it could have happened in any administration, but you would like to think that it wouldn't happen in any adminis

yeah. >> he's inspired living bob. m cyrpe food, t starting with a entertainment, litter ral i everything that i do. and to also bring new and exciting opportunities into my life. >> let's see. we're going to choose not to be there. but when he goes into the sunglasses shop, there's progress. >> oh, yes. sweet. >> he's got himself basically a little fruit. all he needs say little continueder -- needs a little tinder to get it started. >> i'm going into a luxury brand store. >> right. >> hello. >> how you going to trade a leechy like for anything >> i was wondering if you guys had anything to trade for this. >> you want to nope, watch? >> a ribbon would be fine. >> they have this specific product, but we do have this ribbon. using that, he's able to start making more progress. >> what do you think of this shirt? >> whoa, thank you so much. trades in a t-shirt for the gucci ribbon. three hours later he's hungry. after some really quality rejections, he ends newspaper this sandwich shop. >> i'll take this just because i n

and he also has financial interests -- >> really, bob, really? >> i do. yeah. he also has financial interests to putin. >> there is no evidence of those two things, but continue. >> you look at the guy, for me it is enough. he cannot be convince the by his own intelligence services when the information is so good there is something wrong here. it is either he is speaking in behalf of putin as a business partner, and they do have business associations which go back to the 90'90s or he simply doesn't understand it. there is no in between. >> mark, play this one out for me though. because what we've seen from the president since helsinki is instead of talking about what happened in the meeting with putin, which everyone wants to know, the president just blamed the media for not covering the meeting. that was like one of the more m jeff glor last night. there is no way anybody could cover it any other way because this is the way the president wanted it, he wanted to be just a one-on-one meeting. >> which in and of itself is very strange that you would have vladimir

it is a piece of design, i don't know but just so sad to see the scale flipped around there >> yeah, and bobinly earlier this week we did actually see news that ge and microsoft are deepening their relationship around the cloud and digital industrial internet. i want to get your thoughts -- >> ironically they didn't emphasize that in the call, nor did anybody ask a question about it >> yes i wanted to get your thoughts, there's a lot of focus on pain in power, seems to me in terms of turning this company around, the other key area is ge capital. how would you envision that being unwound? >> they're trying to put ge capital in a runoff, and trying to runoff the assets hope to get it to break even because they're not taking on business that's not ge business much at this time. so they're going to run it down. it is going to be an in-house support system, more or less that's very attractive, that works. but you know it is not ge capital any more it is part of ge, it is a division of ge it was a separate company until a couple of years ago. >> bob, finally can i ask if you're buying any here, se

bob mueller's role or presence in washington today? he has sort of a sphinx-like feel. this is a rather astonishing photograph, natasha. >> yeah, it's absolutely incredible. bob mueller kind of reading the newspaper, oblivious to what's going on around him, or maybe not, but donald trump jr. doesn't seem fazed by it either. just an evidence of how small d.c. is, as well. >> yes, at that terrible gate, as kevin said. my thanks to all of you. kent, you're going to stay with me here. >>> after nearly two years of calling it a witch hunt and hoax, friday a meeting was held on election meddling. afterward the white house said this, "the president has made it clear that his administration will not tolerate foreign interference in our elections from any nation state or other malicious actors. you wrote a piece here highlighting the fact it's been 19 months in a meeting like this, give us your sense of what caused it to happen and what might have happened during the meeting, what sort of unified perspective on election interference might have come out of that meeting. >> i think what caused it to happen, david, was the fallout from he

[laughter] >> you. my wife. i won't give any secrets away. >>> it's a life. you. because you said that. because you're out there. you know, too. it was a -- funny what that just triggered. i was in school in ann arbor and he homeless guy, the old guy, but he was like the beautiful mind in the movie. he was like an astrophysicist t

we may have to wait for bob mueller to finish his investigation. >> yeah, i think we do have to wait his investigation. and, yes, i mean there should be not just criticism coming from congress, not just these expressions of shock, horror and dismay, but there should be resolve and concrete action if necessary to ensure that mueller's allowed to get to the bottom of this. because now we know, there is a this. i mean, after the past week, you can't just dismiss this -- the idea that putin has something on trump. you can't just dismiss it as being some sort of paranoid fantasy. because everything we've seen is consistent with that thesis. it's just a thesis, but we don't know. and that interview with fox later, i mean, it is a shame what happened to al capone, right? i mean, it's just -- it's just absolutely breathtaking, the lengths to which the president will go to try to discredit the investigation and to try to, frankly, help vladimir putin. it's just astounding. >> i believe you said earlier that putin does not necessarily want an end to sanctions. did you say that? >> that's what

here you have bob corker talking about how president trump tearing down an alliance. >> yeah. listen. so it's no surprise senator corker and this president have not gotten along very well during his tenure. senator corker's not running for re-election because of i think probably losing in tennessee quite frankly running again and the president has not done anything to step away from article 5 and mutual -- the president is there fighting for america. the eu roughly $150 billion trade surplus. stack on top of that 28 member countries of nato not paying a fair share, not even close, but yet -- >> well -- 24. >> excuse me. >> 24 aren't. >> poland and estonia. >> uk. >> solid. big countries, spain, italy, germany, france. not close. >> right. >> so is it fair for folks in pennsylvania to sit back and say, geez, my kids don't get to go to school for free and universal health care. everybody in europe benefits on that for our back. he's fighting for fairness. >> the big concern sh obviously, mike, is that the article 5, the attack on one is an attack on all. that's part of the nato

know in your parliamentary mistah voracity important mr bob we saw your listeners resolve said that it is a good idea to restart the project yeah we try to find investors because we've been and from our taxpayers for thirty actors that's it like among humans and we we look private investment they are interesting some prime minister from china that interesting given from united states they're coming from russia so we didn't trust what we will negotiate let's talk it went on the. well if it if this if we speak about russia let's talk about corruption because this is also one of your responsibilities your deputy prime minister in charge of judicial reform in this and it's twenty seventeen report on the fight against corruption and organized crime in bulgaria you talked about quote unpredictable legislative decision making process and she gestured your government has rolled back earlier reform which is this report that you're it which here it is the report of the e.u. which are twenty seventy. seventh seventy one and so they actually report their own says twenty seventy responses in their perception said the same thing they said th

[laughter] you my wife i won't give any secrets away because you said that you are out there so it is funny what that just triggered. i was in school in ann arbor he was homeless but a beautiful mind in the movie? the physicist to hit the skin but he said i look at life and i see the sea. and i gravitate to the light. that is what keeps me going.

>> yeah, it would have, ana. and i suspect that bobller's team may not have even extended a plea offer to paul manafort. in part because, you know, not only did he commit this sort of parade of horribles, allegedly, you know, bank fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, but even almost more important than that, when we talk about the integrity of the criminal justice system, he committed witness tampering and has been indicted, albeit in another case, in witness tampering. so the problem is, if we as prosecutors bring, ana, a cooperating witness that has engaged in misconduct that sort of strikes at the very heart of the integrity of the criminal justice system, it's very hard to make a plea offer to that witness, try to clean him up sufficiently, and put him on the stand without what we call the cooperator stink rubbing off on the prosecutors. >> carrie, mueller's team has indicated in court, at least, that manafort's trial will have a connection to the trump campaign, but does that necessarily mean the connection will have anything to

yeah. your thoughts on all of this, as well, bob. >> it's a real problem for the white house that michael avenatti and michael cohen are now becoming buddies. and as jay mentioned, that lanny davis has been retained. those are all bad signs for the president. and that's why the president has repeatedly gone after the whole seizure of cohen's records. because, as many say, this is more of a threat to him than mueller. and mueller certainly a threat to the white house. but this could be more. >> okay. got another topic to get to you guys with the reaction to the new statement that dan coats put out about his initial reaction thursday. we saw it when andrea mitchell broke the news about an upcoming meeting with summit number two, really, in washington. i'm going to read to you his statement in part. some press coverage has mischaracterized my intentions in responding to breaking news presented to me during a live interview. my admittedly awkward response was in no way meant to be disrespectful or criticize the actions of the president. to whom is that statement specifically sent, bob? >> i mean, you

>> yeah, it is a great question. it is dumbfounding. when bobt his indictment on friday, it would have been appropriate to cancel this. others recommended that. obvious lu ly he chose to go fod in a way that anybody is watching questioning why on earth he would have said the wors wo words and not taken the opportunity to criticize putin on crimea and what happened on friday and other reason aggressions. >> this could have been an opportunity for the president to finally show up and show up and say to putin, i am not going to chitchat with you or answer a single question until you deliver the 25 russians who have been indicted in this investigation. instead, he casts out on his own intelligence agency and sided with putin. why? >> why is the question i am not sure anybody can answer that, perhaps, not president trump. >> mueller can. >> maybe he'll be able. >> that seems to be the predicate behind the final question of is there some sort of compromise there which president putin thought it was very funny. the president started this day by saying

yeah. well, we will talk to you about it. we're going to probably make a decision, bob, over the next two weeks. >> reporter: but the president not taking the bait giving a similar answer later to reporters. >> we have great people you know we have 25 great, outstanding people. look, i like them all. but i've got it down to about five. >> reporter: president trump said that two of the final five are women. he'll announce his choice on july 9th. among the top contenders, judge thomas hardiman, a strong gun rights supporter, and judge amy coney barrett, a critic of roe v. wade. a subject the president was asked about on fox news. >> are you going to ask your nominees beforehand how they might vote on roe v. wade? >> well, that's a big one and probably not. they're all saying, "don't do that, you don't do that, you shouldn't do that." but i'm putting conservative people on. >> tara is in new jersey with the president tonight. the president saying he may actually interview two judges on his shortlist this weekend? >> reporter: that's right, tom, he said he hopes to speak to two candidates from his golf course in bedminster, new j

i would ask him is 25 possible and he said it's going to be hard, but yeah, that's the forecast >> if you look at the history. bobnted out, bitcoin moved from 7,000 to 10,000 in a couple of week, but from a historical perspective, over any six-month period 25 time it's more than tripled. so, in other words, in any typical period bitcoin can triple one or three times. it's not out of the question that bitcoin can make a big move from here and i would just point out that what makes it unusual today is bitcoin is trading below mining cost and six months forward. this is only roughly ten years in history, bitcoin has had a positive return in nearly 100% of instances whenever it's traded below mining cost >> the risk reward is a symmetrically positive >> this has got to start soon. >> six months out and we are six months into the year and we have six months left. >> bitcoin is quite volatile and it's only got a ten-year history and in the entire history it's always been a good time to buy below cost. >> i don't understand why mining cost is necessarily a floor. we've seen in other, mining gold and things trade below t

. >> yeah, well, you know, i have a feeling, erin, that bob mueller has a giant white board up in hisffice and it's got all kinds of lines connecting all kinds of people and all kinds of money and all kinds of russian actors. some we've heard about already. many we probably haven't heard of. one day he's going to take that white board down and he's going to show it to the american people. i hope he does it before the midterm because we can survive two years of trump. we may -- our institutions may hold for four. we cannot survive eight years of this man. he will destroy the norms and institutions of this country. >> which, of course, as we know world leaders are watching so closely every single day with baited breath, as one said recently. thanks so much, tom friedman. >> pleasure. >>> next, trolling trump. the message one newspaper sent to the president as he arrived for that controversial summit in helsinki. >>> plus, putin puts the ball in trump's court. -i've seen lots of homes helping new customers bundle and save big, but now it's time to find my dream abode. -right away, i coul

divisions exist and i think it's difficult absent some report by bob mueller to change that -- >> people are just waiting, waiting that out. >> yeahto lastly talk about the president and the press and it's something i don't often like to bring up because i don't want to talk about us but this week was different. president trump used his address to the vfw, veterans of foreign wars, to attack the press. some of those veterans booed the press. the white house deputy chief of staff, bill shine, barred a credentialed reporter from cnn from attending a briefing which is a pool report for those of you who don't know what a pool report is, we have one representative go in to represent all the press. and this morning the president is tweeting, had a very good and interesting meeting at the white house with a.g. sulzberger, publisher of the "new york times" spent much time talking about the vast amounts of fake news being put out by the media and how that fake news has morphed into phrase enemy of the people. sad. you want to start, dan? >> well, i mean, we have never seen a situation that we're in now in which the president of the united

>> yeah, it is hard to tell with respect to the second point. obviously i don't know what bob knows. none of us knows what bob mueller knows. how it relates if is hard to tell. for the first point, obviously his liberty is at stake. most of the other folks involved in the mueller investigation have plead or -- so i think that the really concern here with paul manafort is that he is innocent and he is hoping that president trump will grant him a pardon. he is taking a big risk allowing this to go to trial. >> this is a campaign manager that had close ties to russian money. at a time when the russian government was authorizing attempts to meddle in the election, but there is a difference between that and does ma manafort have anything in regards to collusion. if they were going to make a deal with him, it would have happened by now. >>. >> i think that is a fair assumption. pob mueller has his strategy on people who would have information about russian experience and the role, the personal involvement of the president, but we have not seen this happen, again, in a situation if h

yeah, saturday. the are you going get if you gre christina fox business. bobg-pong with the mooch though. if you haven't got the book yet get the book. get it over here. a question about the monologue fro "the five." you love the monologues go to amazon.com or barnes & noble or simon and shuster or wherever and order the book. >> jesse: the monologues. >> greg: best logues out there are the monologues. >> katie: i had a big birthday last week to celebrate i decided to jump out of a perfectly good airplane with my friends and husband. >> jesse: married the cookie monster? >> katie: that's not my husband however that nice plan flipped me out of the airplane. we did a back flip. he told me i could pull the chute to save us but i forgot so i did it for us. i request kind of got distracted we went to sky dive suffolk which is an amazing flies go because they do a lot of military training and very patriotic. they had the american flag. the don't tread on me flag. thank you sky diving suffolk for keeping me safe and all do you for wounded veterans. >> juan: did you g

yeah. coherence is not the -- the strong suit. look, i mean, bob mueller of course will look at the tweets. this is one of the principal means by which the president is signaling things including to people who are involved in the investigation. so if you're thinking about the pattern of activity that the president is engaged in and how that interacts with the obstruction of justice statutes, you're looking at the whole pattern of activity, and one thing that involves is private statements to individuals. one thing that it involves is acts like, you know, firing the fbi director. one thing it involves is public statements like, you know, helping draft the -- the denial of the trump trump tower meeting, right. and a lot of the president's public statements are in the form of tweets. so it will -- of course bob mueller is looking at that. >> nada, last question. they're invoking the trump tower meeting of 2016. again, we're talking about it because of the reports this week that michael cohen reportedly is willing to testify that president trump, then-

and i think bob was right when he said he's kind of going at it alone. >> yeah. >> he really wants to go at it alone in turkey. he wants to go at it alone in israel, because he thinks he is smarter than everyone else in the room. my mother always said when you're the smartest guy in the room or think you are, time to find a new room. i think the president needs to slow down and think about the consequences of what he's doing. >> i mean, just listening to you talk, i got to say, it's nuts that this is real, that this is actually -- this is what we're discussing, you know, we're not talking about some college student. this is the president of the united states, the most important decisions facing the country. it's kind of stunning. we're going to take a quick break. we're going have more with bob baer and mike rogers. also the latest on singer demi lovato, who was rushed to the hospital today after apparently overdosing on drugs. we'll be right back. belly fat: the chili pepper sweat-out. not cool. freezing away fat cells with coolsculpting? now that's cool! coolsculpting safely freezes

i want you to take a listen to bob corker, republican senator of tennessee, also the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. >> well, yeah. you know, i hope there are people present during the meeting. >> why do you say that? >> i just do. i just -- i just hope there are people around him, pompeo. >> big sign of concern about that one on one meeting. what are people like bob corker concerned about? >> i think they're afraid the president has a tendency to say all kinds of things that he -- any other president probably wouldn't say in the meetings. for instance, we had a story at the times last year about how he had a meeting in the oval office with the russian foreign minister and he just disclosed all kinds of things, criticized james comey, a nut job. the white house argued nothing wrong with that. true trump said that publicly and sets a different tone saying in it a one on one meeting and i think the concern is going to be at minimum that the president is going to be led into saying something or voluntarily say something that he might not do if someone else were present and then there's the concern of vladimir putin
