eric: i have heard 2 sides of this. one says well, if you pull money out of vanguard quickly, that will be a lot of capital gains for the etf, that is that. the other side says i love this. you would be crazy not to do it. where do you fall? phil: it is brilliant. it makes the mutual fund investors more tax friendly and the mutual fund investments more tax friendly. so when the patent expires, we may seek multiple companies launching etf share classes so they can take the tax benefit and translate it into their mutual fund. i think it is brilliant. it would be great if we can all be afforded patents on our ideas. scarlet: yet there is a lot of concern that vanguard and big issuers like vanguard enjoy these unfair advantages. it leaves the smaller issuers, like exponential behind. what do you think about that? is there an uneven playing field? phil: i see it coming, we have better funds and technology. if you look at the innovation in the space, it is with startups and smaller boutique companies. we are starting to see g

eric: what i have seen in the past week is surprising. trade war tensions, you are hearing these multinational u.s. companies could be affected by the trade tensions of china, but the flows tell a different story, partially. look at the flows in the past week, a lot of large-cap tech, semiconductors are all seeing major inflows. you have some low volume products in here, and some small caps, more domestic. i find the large-cap in the tech interesting. the outflows is where the story gets acute. if you look at which etfs are seeing outflows, it is emerging markets and china. there are four china etf's on the outflow list this week. you rarely seen that many on one. let us look at chinese etf's to see how this is stacking up. we have seen about 12 outflows. if you look at the whole month, you are looking at one billion out. you can see how unusual that is. the consensus is that this is bad for the u.s. but etf traders are betting that it will be better for the u.s. and worse for china. at least that is what the flows are showing. scarlet: t

eric balchunas will give us a run down on the new etf. this is the space etf with the ticker ufo. an instant top five best ticker in my book. it goes after the space industry and all of the spending. it does it by 80% of the holdings going after pure plays. these companies make over 50% of revenue from space spending. the other 20% or more diversified, bigger companies where space makes a smaller fraction. trying to get at purity while adding liquidity. it is pretty expensive at 75. it is up 5% since launching. that's a good start. let's look at the space industry relative to other industries like robotics and cybersecurity. a lot more spending here. a little less growth from the other industries. the etfs are much newer than the -- those areas. at ufo versus the other two etfs i think are competing. deep-sea and spacex portion. ita is there aerospace and defense companies. it's a little bit more expensive. the lack of industrials give it a lot of active share to all of the etfs out. it has more industrials, looks more like ita. our thema

eric balchunas is here to show us what he's been seeing.gain shades of 2017. ,eric: we are calling it back to 17. one missing puzzle piece is tech, but it's back. a lot of the usual suspects appear, s&p, the dow, that is all bullish. let's look at tech in particular and see what has been going on the past week. are we seeing a bigger move here? the answer is yes. $600 million in a week is still good. still negative to date, but when we look at one week flows, we see a dozen products of all straight -- strengths. retail, traders, semiconductors, software, smart beta, cloud computing. you get my drift, there are a lot of different products taking in money as well. let's compare tech to other sectors. over the past month, april flows. $600 million was just tacked onto a bigger month, which is $2.1 billion this month, by far led the sectors. some outflows in march and january. some of that was due to that rebalance to people moving from tech to xlc. largely, this number could be understated. i forget what exhibit we are on, maybe number nine, o

my question is regarding the prior holder.ration and eric eric holder was held in contempt of congress for refusing to provide information and documents, for i believe it was fast and furious. these investigations continuing through the democrats, are i believe is a result of them not being happy with the results of the election. they said that we must accept the election results. said we must accept them you the results. they basically said trump did not do anything wrong. on what went on with eric holder and how congress dealt with that issue. i think the most important thing to take away from the experience with eric particularthis episode with the current attorney general is just how long it takes for congress to use the courts to pursue civil enforcement of noncompliance of a subpoena. it is not a fast process. so if house democrats and up going that route, they should ,xpect for it to move slowly this continual back and forth. several layers of the court to move through. with holder, the case proceeded for such a long time but there was a second attorney general and it was unreso

eric: i do not know yet. this is a stock where there are people who feel very passionately both ways, and that creates interest to buy and sell. there are people who are super skeptical of ride-hailing and there are people who really believe in the story and everybody in between. it would be a surprise to me if there was not a lot of interest on both sides of the stock. , obviously it is a down market and this is part of the story. lyft is trading lower. well off our lows, uber back up close to the ipo price. it could all turnaround, i suppose, right? eric: it could. that is the problem. you said a narrative too soon and everything changes. in the long run, what matters is uber's valuation over many months and years depending on how long investors are holding the stock. now,nt to know the answer what does the public market think about this long time private company? the honest answer is you will have to wait and see. there is a long walk up period and that will affect the stock price. where weno one day know

eric: right.he uber ceo received $45 million last year according to the s1, so he is obviously getting very well compensated for his job, and it is a striking contrast to how much a driver is getting paid. obviously, uber has a political problem, especially on the left. obviously, alexandria ocasio-cortez tweeted about this. bernie sanders has been talking about it. so i definitely think, throughout this democratic primary, i wouldn't be surprised if candidates keep talking about uber. you know obviously, this is a , great moment to talk about it. because uber is about to go public, sort of a vulnerable moment for the company, not the press that it wants right now. there is going to be this liberal conversation in the democratic primary and i think that will be a moment to talk about labor in america and obviously uber is sort of central to that story. so i don't think this is going away once uber becomes public. question is just whether that conversation can actually turn into some sort of federa

eric eventually fell off, hurt his leg and accidentally dropped his cell phone in the cab. good samaritans helped him call 911. >>olice were able to stop him. >> reporter: officers stopped the cab driver a few blocks away and police found eric is a phone under the driver's syat. the arrested the cab driver and charged him with leaving the scene of an accident. >> i thank every officer involved in the situation. >> reporter: we tried to talk to 'thim. he didnant to talk on camera utand bonded o on jail. he said the police account was inaccurate and will have a court appearance within the next few weeks. some marie stone. >> quite a scene there. >>> a path of destruction in the midwest. >> a flood emergency. people swept away, trapped in their cars, clinging to trees for their life and many neighborhoods destroy in the twisters. >> guy, the damage is bad. right now, that threat is far from over. >> you got that right.u' yo seen these tornado warnings coming in for st. louis and kansas, right? >> that's right. we've seen 36 tornado reports compared to 30 yesterday. >> we're ke

eric: i think you made a mistake.hat was an obvious exit strategy where he would've been able to leave the country and have a negotiated deal to have access to some of his ill-gotten gains and have safety for the perceivable future. now he has decided to stay and try to have a blood test with the juan guaido government. one of the scenarios a lot of people pointed to as a possible early -- as a possibility for change in venezuela has been a coup from nicolas maduro's own forces. to the extent people think he has been weakened, and i think he has been, they may become empowered to try to kick them out on their own terms. we'll have to see how that goes, but it is clearly added to the risk in that scenario. david: let's talk about that. it seems like he is kept his control of the military, which you have told us before is terribly important. at the same time, the people of what is leila, which has -- the people of venezuela, which has to include a lot of the troops on the ground must be suffering. we put up a chart, it

eric wainaina, welcome to hardtalk. it's good to be here.ou have been making music for three decades or so. if you think about the music you made at the beginning, and the sort of music you're working on now, what's changed? well, the music i'm making now is a lot more personal. when i started off, i came from a gospel background, you know. and then there's a lot of pressure in the music industry, coming from a church background, you know, to toe a particular line. but i felt that... first of all, i had been raised in a very despotic era, in both the original kenyatta, and then president moi. you mean culturally and politically? culturally and politically, you know. and i had come of age at a time when kenya was a single—party state. and sort of coming from a church background and coming from this sort of political straitjacketing, as it were, i felt i wanted to have a message in my music that brought people together, that made us focus on what was going wrong in kenya. at one point, i was singing for this a capella group, and our leader was

eric changes face and said i did. i'm john and all. i'm from his attorneys office, southern district of new york and i believe you and ugly your innocent and of how to get you out of here. at which point eric felt under grant and began crying. it's not just a simple as that. snap your fingers because one guy in some of the office thinks you're in prison for crimes you haven't committed, you get out. he had to file an affidavit on behalf of the defense. work with defense lawyers and a turnout by others have been convicted of crimes that evening, the murder of a delivery -- livery cab driver in the bronx and they're also exonerate and set free. it's one of these stories that when i i tell it in greater del i think it is more force if i'm talking to a group of cops a group of other aspiring law students than any statistic you can site. you explain that it took the work of a good person like john o'malley what other things to do who didn't have to spend months of his life. by definition implicating sort of fellow law enforcement agents in

eric, thanks for being here today. you're a superstar you have awe been all over the place and worked with the nba and nhl. total hard worker, total guy that would go get them and one day you couldn't what happened? >> i didn't realize it at the time but what happened was this buildup of the stress and trauma i had dealt with with previous life experiences had finally impacted me so the same way the analogy i can make is plaque builds up in your arteries, the things i witnessed with my brother going through a number of sicknesses when we were children and then the loss of friends, that ultimately ended up catching up to me to the point where -- my friends who passed away, exactly, so looking back on it now you say, wow, of course, why didn't i realize it but i think we grow up in a society where we're not taught to look at our mental health the way we are physical health so i was using work, right, you're a very ambitious person and you're charging hard with your job as you mentioned before, the careers that i had, i w

here's drew tuma. >> that's what we're finding out there, eric., some thunderstorms popped up just a few moments ago. i want to show you live doppler 7. it's may but we've got screen on the screen and where we found those thundershowers around brentwood, even a clap of thunder near walnut creek. this is the loop over the past hour or so. we had reports a couple of friends on facebook around brentwood said they heard thunder, even saw a little bit of hail. i'll widen out this picture and kind of show you this line that's originating around mentica. it moves to the west and it's moving very slowly. likely more showers around san ramon, even 8:43 in hayward. a light sprinkle even after 9:00 as this weak ripple of energy moves through parts of the bay area. look at this. our emeryville camera. look closely, you can actually see a few drops on the lend as that line of showers that is pretty much working through the inland east bay and parts of the east bay is occurring right now. so let's take a look at our rain chances overnight tonight. what you will
