11:07 am
that starts to happen, get the accommodation removed, what do you like the most in terms of valuation? >> we like equities here and in emerging markets. really the fixed income market has had a good 30-year run. interest rates at historic lows, so when the fed does begin to pull back and stop the stimulus, you will see a rise in interest rates. it could be sometime before that happens, so we like equities, we feel equities are probably priced here, if the corporation executes the earnings estimates, you should see a rise in equities here and abroad. dagen: thank you, paula. be well. >> thank you, a pleasure. dagen: janet napolitano telling the mantra that her department

11:14 am
for good. in order to owe the tax, terrorists. you have to be the importer of the goods to have to pay the tax income, you have to earn the income to owe the government anything. it would be ailing us to have a government tax wealth just because you accumulated it, just because you have many. dagen: they do that in europe, they tax idle wealth annually. >> i do worry about that here. is it lawful? not under standard interpretations of the constitution. could it happen here? the government does what it can get away with. it happens that there is public it happens to some people in cyprus because others are apparently going along with it since it is only the rich that will be harmed.

11:22 am
right? >> right. but there is a big mandate to increase ethanol. the increase to e-15 could damage vehicles and fueling system, void warranties and it is not good policy. dagen: over what time are we talking about? wouldn't the automakers have time like the flex fuel vehicles that can take e-85. >> there is only a small share of the gasoline pool using e-85. only 10 million vehicles out of 250 million that can use greater than 10% ethanol without damage. in terms of when this could happen, we're approaching very quickly that 10% of the gasoline pool will be ethanol. that could mean happening just over the next couple of years.
11:23 am
dagen: and all the automakers araren't fighting business ford appeals court, trying to take it to the supreme court. the appeals court called the research they presented if you will or the claims to be speculative about the damage it can do to automobiles. >> if you look at the research done by the coordinated research council, there was damage to vehicles using e-15 and damage to the fueling system. there was damage there. why are they continuing forward with it? dagen: ignoring the mandate, what are the advantages of mixing ethanol into gasoline? >> one advantage of mixing ethanol with gasoline is you have higher octane. but you get less btu. tif you compare the price of ethanol, the btu adjusted basis it is about $0.70 or $0.80 per
11:24 am
gallon more expensive. dagen: do you think so americans don't know that they're mixing -- because it is not even underground anymore, 100% gasoline movement in this country, do americans fully know how much of a point comeback ethanol is in the ca guessing they're putting in their car? >> they probably don't. be cautious to use plans greater than 10%. they recognize that could be damage to vehicles and fueling systems. the average consumer should consult what the owners manual says they can use. dagen: i'm a girl who gets excited about ethanol and gasoline blends, what can i say. be well, john. >> thanks for having me. dagen: jeff flock earlier accused me of not getting excited about the new toyota highlander. making its world debut at the new york auto show in just a few
11:25 am

11:26 am
>> le lets the car be the star. this is all about the product. in this vehicle, five years ago this would have been a really great vehicle in a much larger segment. a great interior. jeff: i want to walk through the rest of the exhibit if i can. talk about the camry. you have been the best-selling car in in america for 11 straight years, sales in february down a little bit at 9% even though toyota as a whole is over 4%. you're still going to sell 400,000 this year, but what do you do? i'm in front of the corolla concept, how do you fresh enough to still keep all the people you are already selling to? >> younger buyers want something more emotional, more exciting.
11:27 am
in the case of camera, sells 400,000 plus vehicles. so you can't go too crazy on style. it is all about the total package. it is about the interior, it is about the vehicle, you want to get the whole package. you now not only do that, but you control the whole operation. >> for the first time all of toyota north america reports go to one person. jeff: you don't seem crazed, but you should be. speakers allows us to speak as one voice and we will build even bartebetter cars for them. jeff: he will be part of the one-hour special of the rebirth of the auto industry.

through the hassle of creating a blog or a website, you can do it on one of these magazines. there is another important point here. it is just one more step in the evolution of these things from consumption devices, talking about the tablet and smart phone to creation devices, it gives you the opportunity to be a creator without touching your pc on your tablet or your smart phone. people will have to change gradually how they think about these devices as not just for consumption, but for creation. dagen: it made me start rethinking just reading your column last night. one more think, after you create a magazine, cannot go back and edit it. it looks like you suggested flipboard would fix some of the
