jason: that was hugh macarthur.ith that as the backdrop, i asked the managing partner at tbg capital how that changes his pitch to investors in berlin? todd: i've been hearing this for at least the last 20 years of my career, but it's true. it's even more true today because in some respects, we are returning capital. we are investing at the point that we have planned, and returning capital at almost three times that pace. as a result, there is a lot of capital and people want their allocations in private equity. what we need to do, and what our lps and important partners talked about, we need to stick to our knitting and stick to our strategy. for us, it is pretty clear. we invest heavily in our sector teams and spent years thinking about not trends but themes, the investable themes in the sectors that we can deploy resources against and create an ecosystem around, to find opportunities that are differentiated. oftentimes in this world, proprietary is not proprietary. companies that we can grow once we own those com

jason schenker is here to explain why.lain exactly what is going on with opec because the markets don't seem to be buying it. jason: this is a surprising thing and i think at the end of the day that they are not really looking at some of the most important data. there was a big buildup ahead of the meeting and i think what you what -- might have seen is profit taking on this decision -- i don't know if people were expecting a more robust decision, but you saw a rollover of production cuts involving 24 different countries rolling into what is going to be the biggest driving season in history in the united states through march, miles -- total miles driven on -- is up 1% year over product inventories have been falling. i would be very careful about this drop in prices. there is a lot of upside. david: have they effectively created a floor? jason: it is difficult to talk about where exactly a floor is, but i would say there has been a supported trend generally since ofil of last year, april 2016 where you have seen almost an u

paul: jason?entioned earlier 38% of people support the republican plan, but i still think democrats are overstating the popularity of obamacare. they really are. only about one in four americans support obamacare in its current form. only about 40% of democrats support obamacare as is. you've, meanwhile, got around 70 of americans who either want significant changes to it or want it to start from scratch. so you have to be careful. so in addition to fulfilling a campaign promise, i think republicans also need to deal with the unpopularity of this current plan and, you know, aetna is pulling out, pulled out of two more states recently, nebraska and delaware -- paul: for 2018. >> they said they were going to lose about $200 million. remember, they were big backers -- paul: and that's happening whether or not the congress acts. if congress does nothing, you're going to see that exchanges deteriorate, mary. >> well, i think the republicans should focus on the fact that the democrats have, it seems to

jason: help us understand the timeline.dent spoke with the president of mexico and canada last week. what is the next step? what you do next with each of those countries? mr. ross: what we are waiting on is the congress to authorize the trade promotion authority, the so-called fast-track. what is required is to have two more consultations, then for them to accept the formal letter, a stylized letter setting out our negotiating objectives. that starts the 90 day clock, so that is the key ingredient, and it is the only reason why negotiations have not begun. mexico is ready. canada is ready. it has been the u.s. congress that has been the drag. jason: what are you hearing from the hill about the timeline and how soon will they act? mr. ross: we think it will be soon. some are tying it to the cancellation of -- he was reported out of committee at the end of last week. there is no reason he couldn't be voted on quickly, and while i think it is just an excuse, if he did get confirmed quickly, that should take care of that. jason
