Better tax treatment than our own companies that stay in the united states. so creating a playing field that encourages manufacturing and growing and creating in the united states, but make no mistake, if a company is in the united states already and expanding in the united states, it will be only to their benefit. if you think about it right now, the way the current tax code works, it almost incentivizes for companies leaving the united states, manufacturing and expanding overseas and sending g...

I did want to follow up on the medical marijuana question. so if the federal government going to take some sort of action around this recreational marijuana in some states? >> thats a question for the department of justice. i believe youll see greater enforcement of it. again, theres a big difference between the medical use which congress has during an appropriations rider in 2014 made very clear what the intent -- what their intent was in terms of how the department of justice would handle that...

>> its a question of where its appropriately addressed. theres a reason. we have to remember this guidance was enjoined last august by a court. its not been enforced. there was no comment period by anyone. by the human rights campaign, by teachers, parents, students. nobody had any input in this. it seems to me a little interesting that if this was any other issue, people would be crying foul the process wasnt followed. the reality is, when you look at title 9, it was enacted in 1972. the idea t...

Out who poses a threat to us. in the previous administration, their hands have been tied. there was exception after exception. the fact of the matter is, were a nation of laws and we have to have a system of legal immigration that is respected. so im not going to be prescriptive in terms of what ices job is. their job and mission is to protect the country and enforce borders and immigration laws. the president has basically uninstructed them to carry out their mission. so the priorities as we di...

Right. we have taken the courts opinions and concerns in the consideration. but the order is finalized. its now awaiting implementation. what we want to do, make sure were working through the departments and agencies so that any concerns or questions are on the front end. were acting with appropriate haste and diligence to make sure that the order is done in an appropriate manner. yep. >> i want to ask about a comment that the treasury secretary made today. he was asked if we should assume tax p...

If we dont, but there are problems in the legal and process way in which that guidance was issued. so its incumbent upon us to actually follow the law and recognize that title ix never talked about this. this was an act in 1972. there was no discussion of this back then. to assume certain elements were thought about back then would be completely preposterous. >> you think secretary devos is on board with this? >> yes, is 00%. >> the second question is on mexico. the secretary of state along with...
