of the pivot. the southeast asians will be looking at that for the southeast asian summit. azorwill be the ninth east summit that president obama will be getting back on track. year's summit because of budget wrangling with the same republicans that have taken the senate. the u.s. will look at a security and political aspect of their with the economic element of their pivot. is not the way to southeast asians see it. that is something i hope the white house will work with to address as they look to pivot 2.0 or a resetting of the pivot. southeast asia cannot imagine an economic strategy for the united states that does not include china. ttp looks a little strange to them. ttp includes 12 countries and the united states. not even all the countries are eligible. i think everybody wants to see it to get done. i think the president wants to cs spending political capital on that. will be ator of that strong statement out of the friday meeting with congressional leaders and a commitment to get tpa, which

i wonder whether you are concerned that the strategic pivot represents an effort to contain china?issue, several news organizations from the united states have had issues with residency permits in china being denied, including "the new york times." i'm wondering, in the spirit of these visa reciprocal these arrangements that you have agreed to this week with business people and students, isn't it time to extend that sort of right to foreign correspondents who seek to cover your country? thank you both very much.

this could be an opportunity for the president to really pivot on defense issues, really pivot on national security. choose a strong, capable secretary of defense in the mold of some of the previous two like panetta and gates. my guess is what the president is going to want is another in the pentagon so he can continue to run defense policy out of the white house. >> confidence is not high. but that is going to, that kind of pivot is going to -- >> confident is not high anywhere in the world about obama foreign policy. there's sort of an irony here. one of the criticisms that came out of the pentagon is that the white house insists on micro managining policy, but the pentagon said they could not get decisions out of this white house, that their ability to make decisions is very weak and you know, that's what you hear in the capital's all over the world. the saudis would say to people, what is obama's strategic policy in this region because we'll get visited by a secretary of defense, secretary of state and they're all coming in with different ideas about what they should be doing. >> we're

tim ramey is an analyst with pivotal research group.s one of herbalife's biggest shareholders. tim, welcome to the show. >> thank you so much. >> why do you think a settlement is coming? >> well, there are really two issues here. one is the bostic class action where both sides have been in productive negotiations and recently petitioned the court for a two-week extension that ends on november 10th. so sometime between now and november 10th there's a reasonable likelihood we get the bostic class action put to bed, and i think that will be important for the stock. could happen on monday but no reason that monday is particularly sacred from that standpoint. >> so i'm curious, tim, in terms of your price target, which is practically double where the stock is right now, you know, what other catalysts do you see out there aside from settlements of investigations or lawsuits? i mean, aside from potentially settling with the class action lawsuit there could be the ftc investigation goes away. that could be another catalyst. what are some of the

military relations is a key pillar to president obama's asia pivot. defense one has a new debate series on china focused on exactly this. their executive editor kevin baron joins us. he spent years covering improving military ties with china. does china want a strong military presence in the south pacific? >> i think it's safe to say they would rather not, but more importantly, is that the united states just wanted to know a lot more of china's intentions of their own military buildup. not just for what they're doing in the south pacific but around the world as they become more of a global power and start to send ships, you know, one or two at a time here, there, beyond their own region. >> talk to us about how this pivot to asia is going. watching from afar, it seems like that relationship has taken a backseat and then putin and chinese leaders have never been clos closer. what does that mean? and can a relationship between china and russia last very long when you think about the history of these two countries, the early 1960s, when they had an all-o

challenge of the pivot is there is a broad impression, hardly knew, that the u.s. has lost interest in asia, syria, isis, ukraine. it will be key for the president to demonstrate that we are focused on our security commitments in asia. it is a tough balancing act because china react everything that is coming out of the administration and calling it containment. very unforgiving chinese interpretations of what the u.s. is up to. let me turn briefly before i handed over to matt on the specifics of the u.s. china security problem, and that will be the economic piece. secretary kerry gave a generally positive view of china, optimistic view, which is appropriate. he did not pull punches on some of the key security and political problems we have. he called for self-restraint and completion of a code of conduct with respect to the south china sea and territorial disputes where china is using mercantile and maritime pressure, coercion on smaller states in the region. , try to frameer it where we could agree, because china has a commercial interest in intellectual property

the ttp will be the element of their pivot.that is not the element house, south east asians seared. i hope the white house will look with economic measures as they look to pivot. can imagine an economic strategy for the interstate without including china. , as matt mentioned includes 12 countries. it is not legible, i think ttp has to be done. asians believe the indicators for that will be statement from leaders and a commitment for tpa. the malaysians will hold a summit. a lot of attention will they put this year. talk cans will want to and t the structure original forum -- regional forum. plus meetings to do with the eas. president will also participate in the summit that has been institutionalised since president obama has been in office. clever way to say the white house was not sure if they can show up. credit to present obama to institutionalising this level of engagement. they want to enforce the incredible stock of investment. you will hear more about that. this csis. ked about 10 investment is almost times than india.

. >> there is this word pivot. everybody is pivoting. pivoting in asia. >> we don't really pivot. we kind of purulent. irouette. i think you are disagreeing with larry summers, which i heartily applaud. >> was that an editorial comment? [laughter] >> all growth eventually slows. eventually the process does end. >> i'm disagreeing on fundamental approach to why china is growing. they moved 20 million people front farms to the city last year and the your before and the your before that. the pace of migration is actually picking up. you have to build 20 million housing units. 20 million dining room tables and chairs. they need other things for urban life. >> urbanization is key for growth. the population is really topping out, but they have moved people in a way to work more productively. that is the key to their future. are six entered 50 million people on the farms. this modernization has a long peoplego -- 650 million on the farms. this modernization has a long way to go. it is happening every minute of every day. how china hear about is

of course, there is another pivot to asia going on. and that's the russian pivot to asia. that is a very close friendship between, well, a very close relationship, at any rate, between president putin and xi jinping. i'm sure your viewers would be aware that one of the best selling books in china right now is called "putin the great." he's seen as something of a model, as a hero, as somebody that will stand up for to the u.s. and stick up for your national agenda. and china sees a lot of commonality in that perspective. so i think this sort of qlim at for obama to say let's work together on myanmar, et cetera, is not as propitious as he might hope. >> rose: so what should the president do? >> the president does end up in china with a limited number of or the of prospects for major cooperation. one paradox is north korea. because i think the chinese, you don't need to get more than one glass of wine in a chinese friend or diplomat to hear them just be as expass rated with pyongyang as the americans are. so that i think is kind of a hopeful area. climate change has been, you

to anda is going to have some way, if you look back and the pivot of china and people in beijing saidat does it mean? are you trying to use form of containment here? the u.s. does not have the military capabilities to pull that off and no troops were actually sent to the region. the opposite troops were pulled out. from the military side, it did not mean any and. on the trade side, how are you going to keep china out? [no audio] >> china is making their own deal. tell us about that. >> it is an important initiative and start at the shanghai cooperation summit in september and of course it was just that theon saturday actual allocation of 40 billion u.s. dollars as an initial silk road fund, infrastructure. there will be a lot of trains running from beijing and all the way to -- >> and moscow. >> they already have trains. that is the consolation. indeedk road concept is what it is all about. these trains will go from beijing on the way down to thailand and singapore eventually. >> where does it leave for the united states? the thing is that president obama has got probably more freedom

. >> to what extent was that car a pivot from your car? >> it was a pivot. was more interested in highway driving. 86% of transportation takes place on highways. but it turns out there are many car companies working on the same topic. we are taking the audacious year -- view by saying that if you can solve inner-city driving you can solve so much of transportation. you can possibly even with ownership, i think it is a great vision. >> will we see self driving cars on the road? on a grand scale? >> i think it will happen fast. i think within 15 years you can see cities full of self driving cars where transportation is really on demand. you don't have to own a car anymore. >> i want to talk about when larry page met you because he actually came. to the darpa challenge. >> he came. for me, he is one of the rare people that inspires me. >> how did they get you to come to google? >> i was at the point where i really wanted to explore what it means to work in silicon valley. so i started a team that -- at stanford that basically built a street technology. he stopp

pivot to asia, which has been a priority of the obama administration from the start. officials wanting to think past the wars in iraq and afghanistan, okay, the united states had a chance to step back and reasset strategic priorities in the world, where should it be investing it's time and resources. asia was going to be incredibly important in the 21st century, and the united states has largely been under invested in the first decade while we were off in iraq and afghanistan dealing with counter insurgency and alqaida. the president would deepen american engagement. we saw a lot of from the of that in the first part of the obama administration, but it has lagged. you've seen senior officials talk about this repeatedly over the last several years to emphasize this is a comprehensive relationship, comprehensive policy and ttp will be the biggest component of the economic piece of that, and there is a broad sense that economics is security, economics is politics in asia, and if the united states wants to lead and be part of asia in the 21st century, it has to be a big c

give us a sense of the current status of this pivot to asia everyone is talking about. >> well, the pivot to asia is probably a bit incomplete, more complete as a result of the trip, and i have to say there's a lot of pretty good content coming out of the trip to china and you have to look in the asia-pacific context at how the u.s. and china are doing because everybody, whether or not in northeast asia or southeast asia, everybody revolves around the well-being, health, and stability of the u.s./china relationship. the pivot is in part military security. it's in part trade and economics, and it's part people to people. and you can see where in each of those areas a little bit of progress has been made. i think the visa policy change from one year to five years for students and then to ten years for everybody else is a really, really big deal because the people to people relationship longer term will really provide the glue that cements the relationship. if you don't have people going back and forth in a bilateral relationship, you don't have much of anything at all. on the military to mi

this could be an opportunity for the president to pivot on defense issue and national security and choose strong capable secretary of defense in the mold of some of the previous likely, panetta and robert gates. my guess the to continue to run defense policy out of the white house -- >> confidence is not high that that is going -- that kind of pivot is going -- >> confidence is not high anywhere in the world about obama foreign policy. it's sort of an irony here, one of the criticisms that came out of the pentagon, that the white house insists on micromanaging policy. but the pentagon also said that they could not get decisions out of this white house, that their ability to make decisions is very weak. you know, that's what you hear in the capitals all over the world. the saudis would say to people, what is obama's strategic policy in this region because we'll get visited by a secretary of defense and secretary of state and they are all coming in with different ideas about what we should be doing. >> i will say, we're not making this up. everybody who comes through from anybody, any count

he's got to prove he can make the pivot bill clinton did.clinton's greatness, as a president, came after republicans like myself came into washington and started fighting him and bill clinton figured out how to work with us, how to beat us. we passed welfare reform together, balanced the budget, passed tax reform together. passed regulatory reform together. 22 million new jobs were created over that decade. that's something barack obama has to do, and he needs to do it the last two years if republicans take control. you can blame republicans for obstruction -- not talking about you. talking about my friends in the white house blaming republicans for obstructionism if they want to and they can make a lot of great points, but if he's stuck dealing with republicans over the last two years, he's going to have to make the pivot that bill clinton made, and if he does, he can get energy reform passed, he can get tax reform passed, he can get education reform passed, and he can really get a lot done. >> how does the president jump into this? i agree

there is another pivot to asia going on. that's a close relationship between president clinton and xi jinping -- president putin and xi jinping. one of the best-selling books in china right now is called "putin, the great." it is seen as a bit of a hero in china. i think there's a climate for obama to say, let's work together on myanmar -- it's not as propitious as you might hope. >> what should the president do? >> the president does end up in china with a limited number of prospects for major cooperation. one paradoxically is north korea because i think the chinese, you don't need to get more than one glass of wine in a chinese friend or diplomat to hear them just the as exasperated with pyongyang as the americans are. i think that's a hopeful area. climate change has been an infinitely retreating horizon of hope. everybody hopes that the u.s. and china will be able to really have a major collaboration. china is doing a good deal on this front, in a patchwork, piecemeal way, but washington is so bollocksed that we don't kn
