for entire postwar period after world war ii until recently the united states has always been literally called the engine of the world economy. the united states grows strongly and it pulls the rest of the world. we're not an island. the world is more interconnected than ever, and the united states is currently growing at about 2%. historic average is well over 3%. that's a huge difference in terms of economic growth. jenna: let's concentrate on that. you think two to 3%, difference of one percentage point, how big of a deal can it be? >> that is 100 basis points. it's a huge difference. jobs get created, businesses grow and the congressional budget has said that they think the united states will grow at 2% for the next 10 years which they called, much slower than we have grown since 1950. that's going to affect economies all over the world. and in those that are beginning to emerge like ukraine, like egypt, and venezuela we live in a world now where people are aware that they're going know where and the rest of the world is growing and they get very angry about that. jenna: that is one of the things you talk about in your p

countries check up to us and we're losing our primes in space. >> so the last 100 years or so, the united states economy on average has grown around 2%, it's done worse than that recently. china and india growing at seven or 8%. the united states never gross that fast. it's a rich country at the edge of technology. it doesn't have the opportunities to catch up growth. using the technology innings substitution that is weaver developed to grow faster like india, china and brazil is not simply a priority of what's happening here. it's a story of what's going on in the rest of the world. >> you think that there will be positives and in fact the title talks about 2014 being the best year yet. >> absolutely. so, a richer, healthier, more secure world is a huge opportunity for the united states, not least over the recent past one of the few bright spots in the u.s. economy has been growing exports. now 3/5 of exports go to the developing world. a richer china or india in vent new stuff. they make money from patents and royalties, but we benefit, we benefit from those new technologies. richer india and china, a

. >> we don't all agree that moving canadian oil through the united states is necessarily the best thing for the united states economy think there are things we can do instead of waving the white flag of surrender and declaring that economy to be a minimum wage economy, i think we can do better. >> things got testy outside the white house yesterday as governors voiced their disagreement on issues like keystone and the minimum wage and tax reform, all this after meeting with the president. what's not debatable is that thanks to their pro growth policies red state republican governors are allowing their states to lead the economy recovery. much different than nationwide. joining us is one-on-one tonight, oklahoma republican governor and chair of the national governor's association, we welcome back mary fallin. governor fallin, thanks very much. i heard this conclusion reported about a couple of months to decide on keystone. i don't get a couple of months. they've been looking at it for years. they've had all these studies. the state department just did another study. we need all the oil that we can possibly get and by

revealed that in ten years we lost almost half a million population, most of them going to the united states. the economyas crashed. in one part is the puerto rican government's fault, different type of government, different political views. but they all made some fiscal mistakes, taking and borrowing to pay stuff. but then, you have also the effects of the u.s. crisis of 2008 that we're seeing because we have dependency of the united states, at some extent due to our political situation. the majority of the people that are leaving are the professionals that seek better pay which is also a big issue here. the crime has increased, but i do not think the issue that people are leaving, their payment for their studies and professional work tries to keep the leaving out of it. politics and how we're going to make the pree puerto rican govet accountable, the biggest issue puerto rico has is the government, check who is draining us. i do feel there is two generations. there's a generation that does not care because they do not believe in politics or in people. but then there's the other generation of profession

united states is receding at the moment. partly because of the post recession economy in the united states but more importantly, because mexicondergo a huge economic boom related to its liberalization of its energy laws. what fractioning did to the united states is about to do even bigger in mexico. a lot of those mexicans will go back to mexico. i think this immigration issue has become kind of a proxy for disaffection about, what's happening in the american culture and a lot of conservatives are trying to argue, unless you are with us on opposing the immigration bill, you're not with us on traditional american values. and this is how it translates into the idea that white people represent those values. long term, paul, i do not see how a major party in this country can sustain itself with that argument. >> if you want to be a majority party by definition, you should appeal to all groups in the country. to what extent has immigration become a threshold issue? i know hispanic voters and ethnic voters, they're not one issue voters. is immigration one of those issues, if you're opposed to immigration. then you really, you're se

now the united states economy i think is reasserting its leadership.e thought last week with the market being down because of drops in turkish lira or in argentinean peso that the tail is wagging the dog. at the end of the day, it's the dog that wags the tail. the united states is the big dog of the global economy now. >> can i jump in for a second? i was asked to make a chart. it's a ten-year chart of the nikkei versus the s&p 500. i did it in seahawks colors, light blue and lime green. they track together. whom is leading whom? is the nikkei leading us or are we leading japan? if the nikkei is leading us, given the recent trends, we could be in trouble. >> the nikkei has had some change in policy which has had a big affect on their market over the past year or so. we've been relatively conservative. >> that is bernanke on steroids. >> yes. the united states is reasserting its leadership. japan is a developing market, not an emerging market. the key will be the performance of the united states offer the next several years, which i i think will be stro

"real money" ali velshi is showing us how that might impact the united states and it's economy. what's the connection here >> i just lost your voice, but i think i know what you're going is to ask me. it's been venezuela. website has some of the largest oil reserves in the world and . they say that government's corruption and mismanagement are behind widespread shortages of consumer goods in some of the worst inflation in the world. venezuela is rich in natural resources like oil, but shortage in balk necessities ar basic nee normal. venezuela is the fourth largest supplier of oil imported in the united states. canada is number one, followed by saudi arabia and mexico. but venezuela's exports through the united states has dropped 42% since 2005. the reason why americans have not felt it over time, global demand for oil remains strong and oil prices are still remaining high. but venezuela, if it barrels down this road of greater instability, you could see a spike. i spoke to someone tonight who said a $5 to $10 spike in the price of oil. venezuela is something that we're going to
