china sea. it's a potential maritime turkey that is a potential middle level power. and it is true that the chinese -- the vietnamese government wants to use the united states, to balance it against china, whereas wherever i've trailed through vietnam i never met such prosch american friendly people. really. that's true. the united states in terms of keeping the pacific stable. what it's all about is we have to be very clear. we have to keep up a very strong air naval presence. it's fine to encourage our allies to do more. but when our allies do more, and they themselves have conflicts with other countries in the region, it can lead to unstable. so, yes, we want the japanese to do more. but if the japanese build up their military and keep building and building, it becomes a problem, because -- the japanese are -- for historical reasons are not well-trusted in south korea and elsewhere, and yet the japanese have an existential problem with china. so the u.s. has to maintain a strong air naval presence to keep the peace, as it were. people sale we can just drastically r

china. turkey has done the same thing. what will change if we give it to this world community?ll, that's what they're having trouble answering. we had a hearing a week or so ago and decided to move forward with this legislation that said they can't turn it over until we see the facts independently and approve it. and so it's really, really dangerous, i think, if they just turn it over to another country, another government entity like the united nations. now, they say they're not going to do that, but you know, i could not get a good answer about what happens when you let go of the 64-page contract between the united states government and the nonprofit that runs this system now based in the united states, required to be based here, required to be under our laws. they could be set free, and then what happens? >> congressman, you're making a lot of sense. and the average american i know has been saying why are we even doing this? where's the pressure from? where's the advantage for us? the question to you is democrats also are worried and concerned like you are? >> you know, ther

countries well take one example of turkey turkey has the highest number of journalists in prison anywhere in the world that's high in iran high yet. when china and turkey also imprisoned more journalists than any other country last year now looking at economic prosperity conks any further than greece of course the country that nearly bankrupted the eurozone the high corruption in that country nearly destroying the monetary union across europe and when it comes to corruption and it comes to new members to nato well look no further than albania one of the most corrupt countries in europe according to transparency international berths not according to nato another point that the organization brings up in this website in this web article is that russia has tried to justify its actions in crimea by pointing the finger in the wrong place towards what nato did in libya back in two thousand and eleven well again look at what nato was told it was allowed to do by the un the resolutions that were set out said nato was allowed to establish a no fly zone over libya using all necessary force in order to protect the civilian population now it does seem th

bricks and today when most people think emerging markets are thinking china, india, those kinds of places. where are you? >> turkeye still, you know, in a tricky situation economically, but they are probably where europe was two years ago. in fact, in some respects they could be better positioned on the periphery, and we're looking at some of the markets and finding some opportunities, especially in mexico, with companies like semex which are recovery plays, both domestically and u.s. infrastructure plays. >> i would imagine they benefit from some changes, major mega mergers going on in that space, could reduce the number of markets. >> they have been struggling with a large debt load and that more or less cleans that up which gives them scope to take some of the assets over the next year or so. >> as you go back into some of the fragile five markets, some are called that because they are running current account deficits and they will rely on the external financing. that could make them vulnerable again when the tide goes back out. how long term are these investments going to be? >> i think you have to pick your s

china, mexico, are well on their way. then this year there is a rash of elections across many of the really important countries. india, indonesia, brazil, turkeyrting to see the candidates that are leading, are moving with a changed campaign, driving lots of important reforms that will be very market friendly. david: free market reforms. so you think they will become more business-friendly. >> absolutely. that's what we're anticipating. david: talk about one of the toughest sells in the world today which is russia. you think what is going on in ukraine, you think there couldn't be any deals in russia. a company called yandex. why do you like it? >> yandex as many people know is the google of russia. is the only stock in russia. it's a difficult place to do business but we're a bottom up stock-picker so when we find something this good we want to play. david: look how it has come down. you talk about bottom pickers, it is right about there now. >> it has double-whammy being internet e-commerce space which has been underperforming recently and also the russia factor. we're -- david: we should mention it was up 6 1/2% today. is that because, you

china slowed down last year. latin america slowed down. brazil slowed down. turkey slowed down.retty high volatility from a macro sense. and indonesia slowed down. there was a lot of slow down in the large economies. given we're a business that citizen rates 80% of its income outside the united states. in the last three years, it is important to understand we have had to deal with almost $2 billion of head winds accumulate in 2012, 2013 and 2014 if you add the three years. that's the environment we're in. and we're doing you utmost to work with partners all around the world to create continued value and improved margins. >> i don't drink -- i love regular coke. i was addicted. i could drink a six pack. but i don't. it's too many calories. that's all i would do is drink a coke and run on a treadmill. i have no problem. i'm not pc. i'll drink a sugary coke if i want to. aspartame is so widely used that i don't -- i think we would have seen more effects but i'm not sure. you're working on -- what is it? stevia? it's a natural sweetener. where are you on that? and is that the future

look at many societies especially transitional societies around the world take turkey take many of the arab states take china for example they all have these longing for very strong sometimes iron fisted later who would deliver so is that really so peculiar to russia i don't think it is peculiar to russia and i when i was well i was writing my book i was always tempted to kind of compare yes sir comparisons to be made but we have to understand that this is a universal very basic yearning it's part of human nature everybody has it everybody ones that did. what kind of crisis a society is going through it might find itself appealing to that sort of rule but the difference is we're talking about essentially two different states that rule the country the patrimonial state and the legal rational state is unique in the sense that it's tried to balance these two states and sometimes. usually the patrimonial state takes the upper hand well i would actually like to take an issue with that because i think there is the implicit suggestion in your book that essential is pretending that we are living in this legal state

turkey for what is happening there. we look at iran and what has happened there. we look at china and the challenges there.and we condemn those but the cuban people somehow don't deserve that flow of information. so we will have a broad range of judgment before we move on. i know senator flake and durbin have different views, but the problem is when you do travel to cuba, and millions of people are going to cuba, millions. europeans, latin americans, canadians and others. and the regime is more selective now. when you travel and go you end up feeding who? not the cuban people but the regime. the regime is the one who through their company, which is owned by the military and castro's son. the entities that you go stay at and visit are a foreign partner on the other side or with e entities owned by the military so we feed the regime versus the people. so that is a legite debate. but the nature of our democracy programs and creating access to information anywhere in the world shouldn't be up for debate. with the thanks for the committee we will keep this record up open for questions until friday and this hear
