Our lead story: Facebook made headlines buying WhatsApp for $19 billion. Now it's back in the news for a $2 billion deal to buy Oculus VR. Is this a good deal? Maybe not since Oculus VR's product is still in development. Erin brings you the details. We invite economist Peter Schiff back on the show to talk about the US economy and whether or not current economic indicators mean that the US picture is improving. Listen to what he has to say. For the Big Deal, Edward Harrison sits down with Erin to talk Bitcoins and taxes. For the IRS, crypto-currencies are like stocks and are not currencies. Check it out.

Our lead story: Manufacturing in the Eurozone slowed to a six month low in the month of May. In fact, output growth in ALL nations slowed with the exception of the Netherlands. Erin takes a look at the numbers and explores what that means for the ECB. To bring you more on the subject, we sat down to speak with Dr. Pippa Malmgren, a policy expert and the head of the DPRM Group and Principalis Asset Management. She discusses the widening divide between Germany and the European periphery. German sees inflation while a country like Spain sees deflation, making balancing these divergent interests very difficult. Then Erin brings you part two of her conversation with noted economics blogger Mark Thoma of the Economist's View. He discusses the macroeconomic future of the US, the controversy surrounding Piketty's data in Capital in the 21st Century, and the difference between econometrics and statistics. In Today's Big Deal, Edward Harrison and Erin talk about sports shenanigans. An investor, golfer, and a gambler walk into a bar. Tune in to find out what happens!
