the convergence of u.s.-china interests is not as great as the administration would like us to believe. the degree of cooperation is not as great as one might hope. now we're going to open the floor for about a half an hour of questions. i have some for the panel, but i will defer those. we will start with the gentleman right there. >> thank you. good afternoon. i am richard harris from momentum private equity in new york. mr. pollack, it seems the thesis of your talk could be that pretty much all lobohope of a negotiated bargain with iran -- in a administration, is anyone letting the strategic ground wework for naught if iran gets nuclear devices, but when? >> it's a great question. no. i think it is a very big mistake. it has taken the administration a lot of time to even go from preparing the american people to move from engagement to confrontation with iran. it took them a very long time. secretary clinton has been almost alone in going out there and seeaying engagement has run its course. they have a go

the u.s. banks have been reporting. in fact, stocks like lloyd's have been moving up recently on that idea of improving credit rating. trance ports, that's there is the story of the day. down 135 points yesterday. down 160 points today. that's choppy trading. that makes it very tough for anybody to be able to figure out how to mick money onility. retailer, same story. 2% 3shgs% increases. retail stocks, j.c. penny and coach, all down. 2% 3shgs%, 4% today. same situation with the other high beta names, homebuilders. all up 2% to 4% to the downside today. just about the same amount. tradertalk.cnbc.com. >> add technology to the list of the sectors you were talking about that are up and now down. nasdaq hanging around the range much of the day. down 3%. loss of 76 points. worst day here in many months. i will take you through big cap followy. losses of 3% to 5%. cisco systems, 3.75%. yahoo, 3%. microsoft, 2.5%. epay was down 5%. down by more% as is google. for google, 510 bucks. apple down 3%. con

i mean, the u.s. and mexico are on par and if mexico can't pass reforms it is because of divided government. i don't buy that. i mean, in a normal democracy you don't have the sort of veto power that a carlos slim... can exercise over the political process. >> although, it would be interesting to ask how much in other unequal societies, societies that -- as mexico is, you pointed out, it is more the norm than the exception. >> absolutely, but then we are talking about all of the adds oligarchies... >> we can go into a number of them that perhaps... >> absolutely, then add on the caveat. >> would anyone trade the mexico of today for the mexico of 15 or 20 years ago. >> no. without a doubt, no. >> i should point out, health care reform, i mean, our vice president qualified it as a big f-ing deal and much in the end in a democratic process it became watered down, whether they agreed or disagreed, what came up was a compromise of compromises of compromises. >> shannon, you have the last point. >> on the do

the u.s. and china, but also given the central role that both of our country's play in being part of the problem and solution of some many of these issues, like the economy, climate. i also want to express appreciation for my good friend richard busch. i am glad to see that things remain in good hands here. i think it is important to begin the discussion of our collaboration on global issues by reiterating cover basic approach under which president obama has led our engagement with china. we welcome a china that is strong, prosperous, and a successful member of the international community. now is the time for our nation to join hands and to commit to creating a prosperous future for our children. a four-positive looking commitment that understands that we have to look at our relationship and a broader context. this goes to the point that secretary clinton gave last year, which is, given the nature of the challenges that we face, the changing global agenda, we face a world where collective actio

the u.s. did something very punitive with regard to import and this will cut them 50% or some such. the u.s. doesn't have the tools to do. it's illegal. i'm not suggesting, it's a mental experiment, okay? let's imagine the u.s. is okay. they have to go down by half. among the things that would happen would be a lot of things that were previously coming from china would anyway come in from countries such as korea, south korea, from india, from thailand, from malaysia come from indonesia, from australia, from japan, from taiwan and everywhere else. trade is a multilateral in so many ways that it is hard to think of how you do something by laterally, and yet much of what has been the focus in all this has been bilateral. and that i think has been a big mistake, both for the obvious reasons that is not going to go and it is not a bilateral problem, but also it's been very ineffective and it is indeed because of issues that were raised in earlier sessions, chinese nationalism, chinese decision, the

general mcchrystal, the head of the u.s. and western forces there, said during the karzai visit on the newshour that he thought at least the taliban's momentum had been stalled. i think he said, at this point, neither side is winning. what do you think since the u.s. doubled its forces? has the security situation improved? >> if you're talking about the... the perception of feeling or the people of afghanistan, no. it has not, because security is in the mind of the people. do they feel secure, more secure today than it was like six months ago in different parts of the country? i don't think so. >> warner: so would you say the taliban is still gaining ground, or simply not losing ground? >> the issue with the taliban is that when they say, "we are doing this," then they deliver. they said that they were going to start their offensives, and in two days' time, they started. and what we promised to our people altogether, afghans and the international community-- it doesn't seem to be perceived in that way. >> warner: so you mean

the u.s. and europe are working to ensure that all countries, especially the major economies, are contributing to a global solution. we all look to and did take a major step forward in copenhagen. we now have to carry out those emission cuts, the financing and the transparency called for in that accord. we must help the most vulnerable nations from the arctic north, the pacific islands, that are the harbingers of this looming crisis. across the troubled line state -- landscape of afghanistan and pakistan, which are working to disrupt al qaeda and taliban fighters and to train an afghan army and police force so their government can protect its own people and not be a threat to its neighbors. in order to build the governing capacity of afghanistan, the united states and european union are deploying significant resources. sustaining these missions has not always been popular but you know, as i do, it is required. as leaders, which have an obligation to make the case to our populations that this is

by the u.s. chamber's estimate, we will need to create 20 million jobs in the next decade to replace those lost during the recession and to keep up with the growing population. although we have created 145,000 jobs per month on average this year, it is not near enough. under these circumstances, world trade month is the perfect time to point out that expanding american exports makes more sense than ever. unlike past recoveries, we cannot simply rely on domestic consumption. american consumers are tapped out in some ways and the u.s. government, some would argue, are maxed out. would domestic demand weak and the government's ability to stimulate the economy minimized, who will buy our products and services? will the demand come from? the answer, the rest of the world. 95% of the world's consumers, 87% of its economic growth, and 70 -- 73% of its purchasing power resides outside the united states. last september, the chamber said a national goal of doubling its u.s. exports in the next five years an

guest: this is a very tricky issue for the u.s. the embassy and the u.s. ment have tried to keep somewhat of a distance in this process, and the spot -- publicly. i think they are very much very behind-the-scenes. but there are calls in certain quarters with in iraq for them to play much stronger role. if this considered -- if this situation continues to be highly contentious, depending on the recount of the vote that starts today and is expected to last two or three weeks, depending on if the outcome of that is accepted by various blocks -- and that is not at all a certainty -- we may see them playing in a stronger role along with the eu and the united nations to try to come to some sort of political agreement and power-sharing deal for the government to deal with iraq's long-term problems. host: about 15 more minutes with rusty barber. when is the next time you're headed to iraq? guest: it is uncertain at this point. i will be scheduled not to have back immediately and stepping down from my role in three years. my intention is to stay with usip, but i wil

because the u.s. o president clinton's miniature initiatives positively in the end and reelected him resoundingly. >> let me add to that question. is there any chance that his signature effort, which has been dealing with organized crime -- i mean, three years from now we will look back and say there were some real gains on judicial reform, and police reform. the counter intuitive. right now, we're all pessimistic. the three years from now, is it possible to look back and say that is the real legacy? that's good to the gentleman down here. >> this is a question for denise. marcos, from centra -- [unintelligible] if you does ago, there was an article in the "new york times" about the different middle-class is in mexico, and he mentioned that 40% of those who live under the poverty line, and that is like 50 million people. 75% of those of 40% believe that they actually belong to middle- class. in this context, one of the biggest challenges, from my perspective, in terms of mexico's political system is ho

the u.s. constitution. at means we must ask ourselves the very same questions placed before the founding fathers. are we tired of the oppressive hand of an oppressive national government? are we ready to restore power to the local governments? are we ready to get government's hand out of our pockets and off 70% of our land? that being the case, let's join hands with americans down through the ages and across the country who have proven time and time again that we could do hard things. will you join hands with me to fight for our future? that future begins today. together we will reject deficit spending. today together we will reform the tax code and restort the constitutional debate in congress and today we'll repeal government-run health care and when should we do that? yes! because tomorrow -- tomorrow begins today. right here, right now, at this convention. as we recognize that constitutionally limited government un-- unlocks unlimited human potential, we reclaim that future. the constitution is central t

historically since world war ii the u.s. has been a huge investor in europe and as europe restrains itself and cuts its spending and raises taxes and all of a sudden that slower economic growth expectation impacts. >> are. >>> the markets vastly overreacting to a greece or portugal threat? greece has a gdp the size of connecticut. if connecticut went bust on the state bonds i don't think the u.s. economy should topple nor do i think europe needs to topple because greece or portugal has a problem. >> they're extrapulating to all the euro area. >> 16 of the 27. >> so, if you were an investor, david and john, you know, and you're sitting at home and you're saying, why should i really, not why should i care, but what are the implications for my portfolio? john, you just put your finger on it. you may be investing in are relying on sales and earnings from that part of the world. >> exactly. always that volatility in the marketplace has created when you have expectations or results different from expectations. >> do you act on that

the u.s. markets, even if it's relatively safe? >> well, it's hard to look at this action and not be a little bit afraid. but i do think, i mean, for us we looked -- there's a lot of u.s. companies that yes, have exposure elsewhere. but u.s. part of their business is doing well. we don't know how badly europe is really going to be affected yet. we bought hpq today, for example. high-quality name that's trading, you know, near the lows of valuation in terms of its multiple. and i don't think anything's dramatically different today that would make hp less valuable. >> some people will say that out there. we pulled together with the help of s&p a chart of companies with great exposure to europe, specifically the percent of sales coming from europe. this is 2008 data because it had to be crunched through with annual reports. but there you have schering-plough, of course bought by merck. the deal closed in 2001, which is why it's at the top of the list. but still, merck has that exposure now. flowse

and the u.s. government uses the drug war to pressure mexico into concessions on security and economic issues. right now my feelings is that's being used to pressure mexico on oil, on the privatization of the state oil company and particularly looking at deep sea drilling in the gulf of mexico. that's the economic point from the security point, the military, the u.s. military and the u.s. homeland security, or the u.s. security forces want more leverage to place troupes on the ground in latin america and mexico is a place to begin for them as well as columbia and peru, this access that they have developed in countries that are favorable to washington. having said that, juarez, i don't know how much people were killed there today. the average runs about one on hour. 2300 -- 2700 people were killed in juarez last year. that was in the year 1909. it's going to be much worse. you've had a lot of wholesale killings in that city. the battle is between a couple of cartels, the couple of cartels and the mi

so the u.s. will get some inflow. however, let's not forget what's happening in europe is deflationary for the world as a whole. and what's happening to europe is increasing risk aversions so equity markets in particular will come under some pressure. >> you said it's a clear example of what could happen. what do we need to do in the united states to ensure it doesn't happen? >> we need to get our act together. we need to recognize that fiscal adjustment is important and we need to be credible about adjusting over the next few years. the best way to do that is in a high growth world. so you have to take advantage of whatever growth we have right now to make sure that that is combined with a credible medium-term fiscal adjustment. >> so, in other words, slow down the spending and raise revenue so that we could put a dent in the deficit? >> that's right. hit the balance between growth and fiscal adjustment. if we don't get that balance right today, we're going to be forced into what economists call a corner solution, doi

and as the u.s. becomes slowly, possibly overshadowed by their economies, certain countries have to step forward and become stakeholders in the global order. and to me brazil and turkey doing that, maybe they got over their skis a little bit here. but i think all in all t is a good development. >> woodruff: and u.s. options going forward? >> you know, i think that the united states has to start really bearing down on how close iran's getting to the bomb. when the ieae comes out with its fix reports's got to denigrate the value of the swap deal and get on with the business of upholding the u.n. resolution. if it doesn't, it's going to lose a lot of influence, not only in the region but in the world. and the president has sworn to dedicate this administration to reducing nuclear threats. whether they get the bomb or not, he's got to bear down on this bad behavior much more than the swap deal will do. >> woodruff: ary's going to leave it there henrey sokolski, cliff kupchin, gentlemen, thank you both. >>

the u.s. administration and its recently released posture review has announced it will be there produce nuclear weapons nor will it attacked non-nuclear weapon states with nuclear weapons. the united states has never respected any of its commitments. one may ask how much nations could trust the united states to implement its commitment. what guarantees are there that it would live up to such commitments and what are the tools for independent verification of its guarantees? in previous decades, the united states has had most of its wars and conflicts with those who were once its friends. some members tons of the iaea who are committed members of the npt have been threatened to be the target of a pre-emptive strike. united states government has always tried to divert public attention from its non- compliance and on lawful actions by bringing into focus some misleading issue carried a of recently raised the issue of nuclear terrorism as part of their efforts to maintain and upgrade their nuclear a

so, is the strain between the u.s. and afghanistan really a thing of the past? we get two points of view: from zalmay khalilzad, who was u.s. ambassador to afghanistan and iraq during the bush administration. he's now a counselor at the center for strategic and international studies. and from alexander thier, the director for afghanistan and pakistan at the united states institute of peace, a nonpartisan group that promotes conflict resolution. he worked for the u.n. in afghanistan during the 1990s, and from 2002 to 2004. ambassador khalilzad, when the president said that this widely documented tension with afghanistan had been overstated, was he right? >> well, i think the president recognizes that things have gone a little too far between afghanistan, president karzai and the united states, in recent months. i think president karzai also recognized that, and i think they have both agreed to turn a new page, to work together to make progress, but i think today was a start in order to reestablish the kind of partnership that existed at times in the past between t

the u.s. side of the lake were approached by a boat containing five armed men. it's still unclear what else happened because this just happened two days ago. falcon lake is approximately 60 miles long, it's a reservoir on the rio grande river fronting star and zapata counties in texas and it is shared between the united states and mexico. it is formed by a dam in 1953 to conserve water for agriculture and control downstream flooding. mr. speaker, piracy is a centuries' old problem that many nations have had to deal with. in the 1800's thomas jefferson sent the united states navy to the mediterranean sea were pirates roamed at will and robbed american ships. that president fought piracy on the high seas. but the difference now is, our administration would rather criticize people and states like arizona that demand more border security rather than do anything about illegal border crossers inuding the pirates on falcon lake. meanwhile, today president calderon of mexico arrogantly lectured us in a
