Some attendees plan to quietly plan to walk out and joining me to talk more about that former u. S. U. S. Ambassador to honduras, mexico and philippines, former National Intelligence director under bush 43 john. Thank you so much for joining us. Good morning. Maria what are you expecting from the president today in. The most important statement is the one hes made by coming here because i dont think anybody expected that to happen. He has come to the temple of globalization. So i think its going to be very interesting to see whether he just gives a sermon to keep with that analogy for a moment and whether hes really willing to listen to others as well. So im delighted hes come, i think hes going to be well received whether a couple of people walk out or not, they want United States engagement. The world does and hopefully hes also going to listen to some of the messages that theyve impart today him during the past day or so. Maria what do you think mexico is thinking, the u. S. Is about to get real deep in terms of nafta renegotiations, the president said, look, we just want fair trade as a former un ambassador to mexico, whats your take on what we might see in terms of nafta . I think nafta is important greet, 50 billion worth of chain, supply chains between u. S. And mexico creates lots of jobs. I think mr. Trump indicated that he wants to reduce the deficit in trade between the two countries, ongoing negotiations going on right now in montreal between the various delegations. I think the main thing he wants to get is higher north american and possibly u. S. Content requirements for automobiles which are the single biggest, the deficit between ourselves and mexico is attributed principally and something has to happen in that area. Apparently the canadians have put a proposal on the table. They havent revealed it publicly but its apparently something above the current 62 north american requirement for vehicles built in the free trade area. Maria i see. Does he have a point in free trade deals, it feels like america is at disadvantage . He does and he doesnt. We may not always got tennessee best advantage possible, on the other hand, i think hes not right or those who think that globalization has not been in our interest, i dont believe are correct. We have to find some balance, i think what hes done, i think what hes done as new sheriff in town, so to speak, we are back here, the United States, and we are more are prepare today use the great economic leverage that we have in trade negotiations than we may have year to forward. Maria fox news learned that the president did tell top officials that he wanted to fire special counsel Robert Mueller, this was past june, was talked out of it by the White House Council don. [inaudible] fire Robert Mueller . Fake news, typical new york times, fake story. [laughter] maria wow, fake news he called it. What do you think about that . Well, first of all, this is a matter under investigation and i think we are going to have to wait to what mr. Mueller comes up with, i believe his attitude ever since magan has become White House Council hes more dispose today cooperate. I dont think he will fire anybody at this particular moment. I think hes willing to let things play out. Maria as former National Intelligence director under bush 43, i know you are very much a believer in the rule of law and you want to be able to trust National Security agencies, you want to trust the fbi, the cia and even the irs by the way, we have new Text Messages that were revealed yesterday and they show that fbi officials peter strzok and lisa page who were a couple, they were concerned about being too tough on Hillary Clinton during the agencys investigation into her email server. Page basically said to stroz, dont forget, she could be our next president and you dont want to be too tough on her, does that show bias in your view . Thats inappropriate authorization of the Law Enforcement process and so i think if that report is true then i think thats been thats a real error on their part, error of judgment and ought to be looking into and i assume that mr. Mueller will take a look at it as well. Maria i know this wasnt under muellers mandate, the Text Messages are coming out that not only did they have this incredible bias against trump by they were also involved in the Mueller Investigation and they basically we wanted to destroy evidence. Right, i meant in the sense that if there is this kind of bias it might mean there was also a bias in the other direction of wanting to give the president a harder time. Maria really fascinating stuff. Ambassador, great to see you. Thank you. Maria thank you so much for joining us. We want to take a break.

Maria coming to you live this week in davos switzerland, Business Leaders gathered for the World Economic forum and one of the hot topic this is year the booming u. S. Economy. I spoke with the black stone Group Chairman and ceo and cofounder steven to talk about the Global Impact of President Trumps tax overhaul. Starting in the United States i think the tax changes, tax bill are going to be quite positive, you know, first youve got lowered tax rates and highly competitive around the world for the first time in a very long time. Youve got expensing of capitall one 00 , so if youre in any kind of business that needs equipment, u. S. Is going to be a great place to be located, youve got the potential to return 2 trillion of money into the United States from abroad, just from u. S. Controlled companies and that all adds up to something pretty good and in addition, i think, whats going to happen is that companies outside the United States are now recognizing that the u. S. Competitive posture has changed quite dramatically and we are going to be seeing unanticipated Foreign Investment into the United States because we will be the best developed market in the world. So altogether is a pretty positive story. Maria this is a very important point, actually, have you seen changed as a result of policies from investors across the world . Yes, its anecdotal which is how you pick things up because everybody has to make plans but what people say when you talk about is, jeez, something important is happening in your country, ive got to do more there, you are going to grow faster, youre deregulating, we should be doing that in our countries and, you know, its a very positive buzz. Maria a lot of people were questioning the carried interest situation. I want you to make the case, obviously, youre getting a benefit because of the carried interest that its still there. This loop hole, the decision says we left it in there and we we want to discourage, they said they were doing away with all of the deductions . Well, its only been a hundred years of loophole. I dont know how you define its Capital Gains treatment and has been changed under the current tax law and, you know, what theyve done is they moved it from a normal oneyear capital gain to three. What happens is if you have any capital gain within the threeyear window its treated as ordinary income, so this effects basically, well, pretty much every hedge fund and denies them carried interest no, they tend never to invest in anything longer than three years, so it knocks them out pretty much and also affects firms like ourselves when we sell something before 3 years which we do a certain percentage of the time, is its not like thing were left exactly the way they were, long discussion and argument as to why this is a capital gain and one of the reasons is that, you know, you have to invest money to get it, if its paid out and
