President trump earing davos this morning with his America First agenda to first agenda but the slew of World Leaders in the World EconomicForum Tomorrow. Commerce secretary wilbur ross. Great to see you. Thank you for joining us. What is the reaction to you a few days . Are you getting a positive reaction from their International Counterparts . You might absolutely. Surprisingly, a growing recognition that the world trade system needs to be fixed. I had a big Panel Discussion yesterday including the head of the dead btl and i asked them a simple question because there are claiming they were protectionist. They said they need the country that is less protectionist than we are. They had no answer. They ultimately agreed that there are things that need to be fixed. There are abuses. The pto needs to change some of its ways. The first time ive seen over recognition of that. Turning to some of the things he will talk about with nafta, what was done was a local habitation for Corporate America to say im going to build but it became the template for all deals. 18 if you go way back into ancient history after world war ii, it was deliberate u. S. Policy to help these countries recover from the ravages of the war. In those days we had a trade surplus is. Facts, we have done into the 1970s so they could afford it. So there is a conscious policy of encouraging the people and help in the next to us. I might have been a good policy at the time, but concessions appropriate to make to germany and china in the 1940s are no longer relevant in so the mistake was not the time of the. Turning to what he said markets are what you may or may not do regarding nafta. For some reason, the media has totally blown out of proportion, but more importantly, business hates uncertainty. You can adjust the good news come of avenues. Uncertainty is scary to people. Maria part of the issue, one of the lead stories in the journal from secretary rice is lg telling retailers to raise prices and washers and dryers after the administration said there was a terrorist on washing machine and solar panels. We see a response. At the natural risk bonds. Anytime you correct people dumping things that illegitimately low prices there will be an effect on price. Thats a normal thing. Unless you feel that americans have a godgiven right to dump purchases at the expense of jobs makes no sense. I dont blame them for putting in some sort of a price increase. More importantly, lg and samsung have begun building huge greasy or. One in tennessee, one in south carolina. That is what the trump trade policies are really all about. Maria thats a really good point actually. Are we now going to see washing machines from overseas higher price than u. S. . Is it now an easy sell to buy americans . I dont think it will be a higher price, but it doesnt have to be. It only has to be a fair price. No reason we should accept product before. No reason now. The better news is i went to the opera needs about five juries. Huge amount of plants growing up in one of them has dirty started shipping from the america. But they also did very intelligently to prepare for this, they both pride and a lot of parts before the action was taken. They both brought in quite a lot of washing machine but for the action was taken, so they were preparing themselves. This is hardly a shock to anybody. Payment is delayed, the president choreographed as during the campaign. He was fair trade. This is not a sneak attack. This is another normal programming dvd. Were looking at a aluminum and steel. Should we expect terrorist fair . As you know, submitting the 232 reports on aluminum and steel, steel First Amendment live another week or so ago. He has about 90 days left in during that period he will consider what to do. Maria you obviously have been in the front row seat of the issue as a private businessman your career. Instead they dumping going on and steel . They make incredible. In fact, i have a chart that shows time zones from 2000 to the present. Increases in world capacity, increases in chinese capacity and superimposed on that is a little box each time china said they would do something about cutting capacity. The only thing that didnt change as the ascendancy of their amount of capacity. Maria i start with James Spurling recently and he said when you put tariffs on these kinds of things to me youre not just attacking a jet. You are going to basically say germany. A number of companies in europe where buying these products run. Is that the case . Maria it all depends. We have proposed a variety of actions they could take in either case. He will select from among the virtues that different. Train to what is the impact of this amount that . Have you seen an impact in terms of market . In the 232 is . Are washing machines i think is a good thing. Its an important thing. We cannot allow our companies to be destroyed by unfair competition. It is a level Playing Field and they can make a better product in a cheaper product, find they should win. They shouldnt win because they are subsidized in dumping. Train to what can you tell us about commerce. In the minute we lost a dear colleague, Stephen Mnuchin to talk about his comments on the dollar and where we are in terms of Economic Growth. For growth in the u. S. How would you characterize the survey, said numerous Pending Point . One of the best things for consumers than it is her something approaching 2 million American Workers to the thousand dollar bonuses in january specifically because of the tax bill. Who would ever have thought that what happened . Thats high velocity money because thats incremental money from the middle income bracket, very hyper penned the two spend in there for the money will come right in to the economy. Maria i think there is a pushback on the left saying some of this stuff is going to happen anyway. This is going to come to the u. S. Again. Payments are not talking about the money being repatriated. Im talking about 2 million americans getting an extra thousand dollars, specifically identified by their employers due to the attacks led by at t and hundreds of companies have fallen into line doing it. Who has ever acted anything like that . Today asked them to do that . No, this is a totally voluntary thing. We were confident because of a report in the economic advisers. We were confident it would result in higher pay. We didnt realize it would be instantaneous. Maria was pretty extraordinary. You said theres always be trade wars are the difference now, u. S. Troops are now coming to the rampart. We suggest in the u. S. Engaging in a trade work . What i meant is every time someone violates trade rules, that to me is not the war. David steele is an act of war, dumping alumina, anything. Forcing Technology Transfer from the same thing. Thats what i had in mind. In terms of the conventional definition, we drop terrace, next guy kind of race to the bottom. That is, we are talking about, and nor do i think theres anything. The u. S. Is doing much better than weve seen in a number of years in processing synchronized global growth. Europe is being talked about a lot. Macron, president of friends is doing better. Europe is doing better fire. The king of spain the other edict is very bullish about what is going on even with the little insurrection in catalonia. Theres a good feeling that its partly because the u. S. Is doing so well. We really are so the engine that drives the world. I was with liam fox, the u. K. And in the air yesterday that we were talking about how they were attacked into the forthcoming brexit. They have now adopted a system wouldve been used in commerce, namely putting commercial people in the embassies around the world and in fact in locations he on the embassy in the region. Not Foreign Ministry people, but Commerce People because theyre going to start a Big Marketing campaign to try to boost their exwords. Things are changing. Theres a sense im getting a constructive change in world trade. I think they know we are not going to be anymore. Train to its interest in to its interesting the imf raised expectations for growth, but not the u. K. Its interesting to see the u. K. Be the underperformer in europe. Had a pretty good quarter of the last quarter and when you consider the uncertainties related to brag that, the performance there is pretty good including their export performances. Train to let me ask you about the next couple weeks. You will be engaged in these nafta talks. When would you expect clarity in terms of what this deal looks like . They will have some outcomes from the montreal talks going on right now and then theres another run scheduled a few weeks later. I think those two will begin to get to the serious issues. The issues dealt with so far has been mostly ones that are important in a sense, but not make or break issues. Without getting to the important ones have not the right sequence. You want to start with easy things, build a sense of momentum and 92 the tough things. Train to the most important issue is the u. S. Is a deficit of mexico. Right. Not just the fact of the deficit. It is by its very devastated. The worst part of it is a lot of the imports worth getting in from mexico have a very high asian content because the rules of origin were not very affect does to put together in the original nafta. So it is a silly trade agreement that encourages goods from outside. Maria really interesting. Secretary rice cabal that take a short break and then be joined by secretary Stephen Mnuchin. Ill be back in a second. horn honking alright alright weve all got places to go weve all got places to go Washington Crossing the delaware turnpike . Surprising. Whats not surprising . How much money sean saved by switching to geico. Big man with a horn. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. A trip back to the dthe doctors office, mean just for a shot. But why go back there, when you can stay home with Neulasta Onpro . Strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. Neulasta helps reduce infection risk by boosting your white blood cell count, which strengthens your immune system. In a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17 to 1 , a 94 decrease. Applied the day of chemo, Neulasta Onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day. Neulasta is for certain Cancer Patients receiving strong chemotherapy. Do not take neulasta if youre allergic to neulasta or Neupogen Filgrastim . Ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. Report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. In patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. The most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. So why go back there . If youd rather be home, ask your doctor about Neulasta Onpro. Maria welcome back. Live at the Economic Forum in davos, switzerland. Joining us now is secretary Stephen Mnuchin along with wilbur ross. Thank you for joining us. We appreciate it very much. I was watching a panel you were on in davos and you have questions about the dollar. Were you surprised to get all this focus in question hammered about premier, said a weaker dollar is better for trade . Im a bit surprised because my comments had been completely consistent but for whatever reason theyve been amplified in the last two days. That could be clear on my viewing us as the dollar is one of the most liquid trading markets in the world. Its a reserve currency because people have confidence in the dollar and safety of the dollar. Where the dollar is in the shortterm is not a concern of ours. In the long term, the will strengthen the longterm as a result of the u. S. Economy, but where it is in the shortterm is not a concern of ours. My comment was just stating a fact which in this shortterm a lower dollar is hope old to our trade imbalance and has certain benefits. It was really a statement of fact. We support free currencies. Other people intervene in currency is printed treasury puts out a currency report where we have issues with other people with currency interventions. The market will reflect whether currencies are whether you look at it over the last hour, last day, week, indias. Maria in past administrations for treasury secretary was always worried about saying anything about the dollar. You were honest and basically said what is obvious that a weaker dollar is good for trade. In the past, treasury secretary say we believe in a strong dollar policy even if action didnt support that. That is the case and the reason its created news, with a number of years, the treasury secretary has just commented on strong dollar, strong dollar, strong dollar. Where it is in the shortterm is not a concern of ours. To worry as the Economic Voice in the dollar dropping to a threeyear low. We changed the stamp of being honest . They took part of what i said and amplified part of what i said and thats why the market. It was incredibly balanced. It was consistent with what i said over the last year and it wasnt news. If my full transcript had been looked at, perhaps they wouldnt have had the same impact. Again, the markets will be where the markets will be. Both were excited about in the reason we are here is to solve the economic story. Weve got a great story. Tax reform, tax cut. We are on the basis of 3 or higher gdp sustained growth. The president s number one object is. We see number 2. 5 million workers have a special bonuses of a thousand dollars or higher. Higher wages. This is what the president is focused on during the campaign. The average worker in the u. S. Senate nowhere in the last eight years and didnt participate. This is all about american jobs, growth for american roots and the reason we had the largest allocation is to say to the world, we are open for business, very attractive for business income and invest in the u. S. Had the good u. S. Economy is great for the rest of the world. Maria i was speaking for people from europe. We talk here from the European Company is putting more into the usb is initially putting money into europe and now they think the tax policy is much more charges. Better than you expected. Apple bringing back hundreds of billions of dollars accompanies weather at at t, put on the road, jpmorgan, on the banks of manufacturing. People investing tens of billions of dollars of the u. S. In giving workers raises. We couldnt be happier with the response and as secretary said, the message here is a lot of people are now talking about shifting operations back into the u. S. And its an exciting story we are looking forward for the president to be here. Maria which is why you see the jobs conversation take flight. Its interesting because its really getting hard to deny the impact of the tax plan in the Mainstream Media is trying hard on the left is trying hard to come out with some reasons for this drink the way from your tax plan in your palace he is because the policies have clearly been focused on Economic Growth. Companies getting bonuses as well as conversation about 4 growth. I want you to listen to a sound bite from a question to gary question to gary cohn, your colleague in washington that he was slated by the president and you all were coming to davos here to listen to this. We just had a litany of businesses to get back from here. Is it unfair to give the president they are to have that money in their coffers. They wouldve not turned turned up this otherwise . Train to the point of the left is going to say they will all have this anyway. They have no alternative but to make up fiction, but eventually fax overcome fiction and i think the fellow who just got the thousand dollar check doesnt care what the left wing media says in the person who gets the tax cut and the next withholding, he or she is also not going to care what the left wing media says. Maria its also coming from the other side. As you know, when theyre talking about 3 gdp, everybody lined up and said we were crazy that the economy could grow at higher rates than 2 given the size of the economy where we were. Now we are at 3 gdp unworried sustained gdp at 3 or higher and this is about creating american jobs and thats what this is all about. Train to the state of the union is next week and weve got now a whole host of ways to look at over the last year. What should we expect the state of the union next week . Is it largely economic policies . We are looking forward to the state of the union and not reduce kill the president beach, but the president coming here is going to talk about free and fair trade, reciprocal trade in americas open for business. Maria secretary ross, secretary macron, thank you for joining us. President trump has arrived and davos. Well bring you a preview and another big day of corporate earnings.

Here again is Maria Bartiromo with the special edition of mornings with maria live from davos, switzerland at the World Economic forum. Maria welcome back, everybody, good thursday morning, im Maria Bartiromo, live from davos, january 25th, top stories right now 6 30 a. M. On the east coast. President trump has arrived in davos amid booming u. S. Economy. I spoke with treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin a few minutes ago about the trip. This is all about american jobs, growth for American Workers and the reason why we have the largest delegation here weve ever had is to say to the world, we are open for business, we are attractive to business and come invest in the u. S. And a good u. S. Economy is great for the rest of the world. Maria we are watching currencies this morning, secretary mnuchins comments basically saying that a weaker dollar is good for trade, that weight on the greenback yesterday, fell to 3year low. Here is the situation this morning with the dollar down against major currencies, one of the top issues for the president is trade, lg is responding to the president s tariffs, will be raising prices following decision, i spoke with commerce secretary wilmer ross about the move and what he expects of other commodities, aluminum and steel. We kind of allow the companies can be destroyed by unfair competition. Its a level Playing Field and they can make a better product and a cheaper product, then they should win, they shouldnt win because they are subsidizing and dumping. Maria stocks hit yet odd report high yesterday, a new high when i will the nasdaq and Sibile Marcellus dropped as they declined in technology stock, led those indices. As you see the market was up 41 points on the dow, s p and nasdaq weaker. Futures this morning show a rally. We are expecting the market to open higher when it opens about three hours, dow industrial is up. Nasdaq up 30 points, that would be further record territory for both. In europe this morning, take a look at indices as we await the European CentralBank Decision and comments from ecb president mario mario droghi. And the dax index is flat down just one point. In asia markets mostly on the red. Our top story this half an hour, cracking the code to stronger cybersecurity. The issue at the forefront of Economic Forum in davos. Last year we saw equifax data breach and intel is fixing data flaw with chuirt chips, google launched a business to sell cybersecurity software. The new unit from the Parent Company will use machine learn to go detect threats quicker than ever. To talk more about future of cybersecurity, ceo of sap. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. Sap has been in forefront in terms of cyber and and security, and the cloud, how are things going . Really good. Thats to help the world run better and improve peoples lives, technology is playing a very special role in doing it, every ceo here is talking about this consumerdriven growth revolution. How do i get to my consumer and get it in the form that they want and how do i use data as ultimate tool to understand where my market is going and how to serve the market better and sap like no other company is serving those needs. Maria yeah, what should we be looking at in terms of cyber, the attacks, one of the biggest concerns for business leaders, i feel like Corporate America, its unlimited spend, they have to pretend, what is s. A. P and whether or not the United States has its hands on it . Every company has to manage it. We have been fortunate. For more than 40 years we have been running the largest enterprise system. We have sophisticated security, of course, our cloud is the most secure. I think the big thing is prevention. You know, most Companies Fall into the traps by just not preventing and doing the small things right, once you find the problem and you do detect it, you obviously have to react, the key to the whole thing is to prevent it in the first place based upon the chip issue that you mentioned, we like all of the large Significant Companies are working on this in realtime with the producers of the chips but so far so good. Maria bill, how would you characterize things, i know that youre reporting earnings, i know that youre not going to be specific, we are talking about 4 growth in the u. S. , we are talking about 2 of growth in europe, how did things feel for you as German Company first . There isnt a ceo here in da davos and on monday i was with president macron in france and france is also lowering taxes an making it easier to do business. A really good feeling about growth and investing in markets and really the ultimate sentiment here is just doing it right, so grow and run your company well and do it with the purpose and dont leave people behind because theres a lot of people that need to be trained, retooled, hired and we need to give them opportunities. I was very interested in with Prime Minister motti, so theres lots of young people that we need to initiate in the economy and workforce and thats what we have focused on, really getting the energy of the young people and the hiring and the retention of our people so our Company Continues to prosper. I think thats been a real differencemaker. Maria are you poised to invest more in the u. S. , more in france as a result of lower tax rates . I wouldnt say our investment thesis is being based upon taxes candidly but it is based to grow markets and want to be friendly to business and help business be successful, so we dont really respond to tax rate in our strategy but we are absolutely encouraged by leaders that want to be hyperfriendly to business. Bill, whats the risk, at some point we are going to be talking about inflation, we are going to be talking about higher wages in tight labor market, you know, its been a lot of optimism here, i get worried that theres almost come pla sanky because everyone is so bullish about things, what do you worry about and what are the risks . The number one issue is always come plank say, youre absolutely right, you cant look down, you to keep looking up and this consumer today is moving real fast. We do it in every industry and geography so the fingerprint has to be really big, what i make sure about is the product is perfect, its so successful and make sure we have the best team because the best team wins. I actually think this is the area where people even more so than technology will take over as the most important asset because we have increased 50,000 jobs in the last eight years and ive hired immensely young people and we have gotten the Company Younger by one year every year and what thats done taking more tenured people and even make them more loyal because its a crosssection of knowledge sharing and inspired thousands and thousands of people. We want to keep going. If we can keep the people, focus on a great product and unbelievable customer experience, theres nothing that can stop sap. Maria even though Machine Learning is supposed to take peoples job . This is wild. The machine is there to help the human, the work with the human, to make them better, i gave a speech in miami for the mba, my great friend adam silver asked me to talk to his team and i was introduced, told me the story about Sandra Sanchez and Sandra Sanchez put out auction to buy sack meanto kings ticket and they are responding to email, shes aggressive, she keeps giving me offers and officer and now shes calling me. They called up Sacramento Kings with Sandra Sanchez, there wasnt a Sandra Sanchez that worked there. She was a bot. Look at the beauty of this, the Human Experience is gating a great offer. The people are doing the more important work, right, the quality work and the economy moves forward. We are going to have more jobs because of maria good to see you, bill, ceo of sap. Much more live from davos. Companies opening books, biotechs Earnings Report after announcing acquisition but juneau therapeutics, we will bring you the numbers once they come out. Stay right here.

We are waiting on central bank to get decision on Interest Rates, strong open for broader averages in the u. S. Joining me to talk about market and economy, scott, scott, good to see you. Great to see you, maria. Maria atmosphere is pretty bullish. Has you a little worried . Yeah, clearly the tax cuts are helping the economy a lot, you know, people are rerating stocks, believing that earn lcion go up dramatically, theres every reason in the world to be optimistic and that has me nervous. Maria why are you nervous about that . Ive been to davos before a number of times and i remember being here two years ago and oil price were almost 25 a barrel at that point, credit had exploded and everybody was saying we were going into a recession and, of course, if you bought then it would have been a fantastic return. I think the euphoria is, you know, getting the momentum of the market ahead of where it should be at this point. Its hard to argue that the market shouldnt be higher but at the same time markets dont move in Straight Lines, maybe a time to think about changing your tact and lightening on risk. One of the things we have been doing is moving to purchasing options with volatility being so low, for instance, you can buy one year calloption on s p 500 for 5 . If you believe that the trump tax cut will lead to increases and earnings that we expect you probably have another 15 to 20 of upside in the market, so, its a pretty lowcost way to capture the upside while not leaving yourself vulnerable to something that could be a shock. Maria youre talking 15 to 20 . In the next year. Maria 15 to 20 that is good. All you have to do is look at effect of tax cut and see how it impacts aftertax earnings and we see earnings probably 1. 60. If you go baccalaureate to multiple on the market back in early november when we really didnt we were going to get tax reform and you applied that same multiple to a 1. 60, youre 10 to 20 up from here. Maria consensus earnings would be but when you add tax benefits another 12 . Amazing. Maria fantastic. Honestly, i think people are not fact oring factoring what the commerce secretary was talking about which is the bonuses and the wage increases that are coming through the pipeline, i think its going to add even more momentum. Maria how worried are you about moving the dollar, Steven Mnuchin making those comments yesterday, thats what every treasury believes anyway, its not like he told us anything it was a surprise, they never did anything to actually show a strong dollar. I think the dollar will go where the dollar goes, but i think the key is to keep the confidence in the dollar as a store of value, its very important in terms of having our capital flows. We need forward capital. Maria exactly. If youre talking about 4 Economic Growth and youre talking about all the money coming to the u. S. , you would think the dollar goes up. Its funny you talk about that, in 20042006 while the Federal Reserve was raising rates an the stock market was going onto new highs, the dollar declined and so it could be that part of the magic here to the economic expansion and Earnings Growth is the continued depreciation of the dollar, the key is not to let it turn into a slide, thats what occurred back in 1987. When the Federal Reserve was raising rates as the stock market went onto new highs, we were up 30odd percent in october of 87 and the dollar started collapsing abas the dollar collapsed, people lost confidence in the u. S. Markets and we suddenly had a stock market crash on our hands and i think thats the risk. Maria when do you show worry about higher wages, maybe fed blowing it with too many increases . You said thats potential or possible in 18, when duh you start worrying about what throws us off of the track . Look, im already worried. I like the option strategy. You know, i would like to see some more indication like deterioration of breath in the market, you know, some signs that Wage Inflation is actually picking up. Its been really stagnant but, you know, we need to get Wage Inflation up to around 4 year over year before i would get really concerned, we are currently 2 and a half percent. I tell you 4 is coming. Maria its coming, right . This year . Probably this year. Maria what about europe, interesting to see europe is doing well. Are you investing in europe . Yes, we have money allocate today europe, we like europe, probably more interesting emerging markets, places like brazil, chile, these places are catching a strong bid and, of course, if things are as good here as we expect them to be and the dollar is weak, historically thats been the formula for emerging markets to do very well. Maria you have 300 billion almost. Maria to allocate. Are there industries that are poised to do better or are you investing in others we really like insurance companies. One of the issues you face here how quickly can your profits get competed away. When you get a tax cut like that, you know, if youre mcdonalds, for instance, you might consider lowering the price of sandwiches to be competitor to arbys, earnings have pretty insulated for the next five to ten years, theyll be a markup in those firms, a good markup for banks, bank of america looks very interesting. Thats the place where you see real value. Maria great point that you make. The roll bag in regs has not had setback, all you see is running agencies but the rollback is significant. Things that make no sense at all like the restriction on repo, this is allowrisk business and they are at capacity because the the soup of regulation restricted them from investing in businesses that are pretty safe. Maria donald trump rolled back lots of those regs, good to see you. Coming on, taking on the giants, alibaba taking on the giants, the Online Company president is here in davos, stay with us.

Maria welcome back, business is competitive but the battle for consume e dollars is heating up in a big way, alibaba and amazon dominating online retailing, growing 40 a year, joining me right now is the International PresidentWinston Chang of jd. Com. 40 youre growing . One thing that i have to correct, we are the laggerst retail in china because of unique model. We are not the second largest. Maria im sorry about that. We buy the inventory, great management system, about 34 days in terms of inventory term. We are using big data to manage inventory and working with brand and retailers to really effectively make their manufacturing process even more effective. Maria this is one way to go at what has been the giant, amazon, which is trying to get into every industry. Yes, the Retail Industry is very broad, we touch every single Consumer Products company out there and can help the brands in terms of marketing perspective all the way to showing data to how to best target the customers. Maria tell me what youre seeing in terms of commerce today. We have been hearing a lot of optimism in terms of u. S. And europe, tell me about china . We are still seeing amazing growth in china, 200 still going at 40 as you iterated earlier. We still continue to see chinese consumers income continue to rise, as they rise, they want to buy more foreign products, we are engaging more with foreign brands to help them into china. Maria whats your take of what we saw out of administration including tariffs on washing machines and solar panels and we could see it on steel and aluminum, that will make things more expensive . Yeah, we generally import businesses inside china but global sales is also business for us but not as big in terms of export business but Chinese Brands are getting stronger and we want to help Chinese Brands explore into the International Market as well. Maria and how do you do that . Let me ask you first about china, the last Growth Numbers 6. 9 in terms of gdp, but the Regulatory Environment is what people question, i mean, if the government puts in certain, you know, regulations that could change the game completely, so do you worry about that .

In recent times, you know, going back for a number of years, the treasury secretary has just kind of commented on strong dollar, strong dollar, strong dollar, and again, my perspective is theres a free market, where it is in the shortterm is not a concern of ours. Maria and, of course, it is at a threeyear low right now, more from my interview with secretary mnuchin and commerce secretary wilber ross and their tax on tax coming up.

Jampacked show this morning and we kick it off with this top story, not america but not america alone, thats President Trumps message, he has arrived in d davos. He hinted last night at what to expect from this trip. The economy is doing very well, im going to davos to get them to bring back a lot of money. I made the statement that if we didnt do the regulation cutting which i think is actually maybe more important than even the tax cuts, but the regulations i think much different situation but our people are very happy. Maria but could President Trump face some resistance from globalist who is are putting America First. Joining me right now at the World Economic forum is ing ceo ralph, thank you so much for being with us. Your expectations for President Trump . Its a good sign that hes coming, right, he clearly has a policy that is its more focused on u. S. First, clearly, thats the name of it and you see a divide in the world where you have the eu, exuk, china and the u. S. , and the fact that he makes effort to come over to explain policy and how it can actually be good for the world, i think its a good sign. Maria let me ask you, we have been talking about positives in the u. S. , positives in europe, you are one of the leaders in terms of Digital Banking, what are you seeing from that standpoint in europe in. Well, you see people moving to Digital Banking really quickly. We get high approval rates also, then the average people so you see Digital Banking is now embraced and thats why you see strong growth, we keep growing between 1 and 2 million customers aier and our Balance Sheet keeps growing on the backs of that. Its basically the model of whatever, you know, digital retailer can do but then to banking. Maria what about lending, what can you tell us about that, that coinciding with optimism . Yes, what you see happening, not only in europe but across the world, you see lending picking up. We are growing Balance Sheet anywhere we are focusing on 3 to 4 but for last couple of years we have been growing 5 to 6 . Also this year we expect Something Like that. The most important thing that you see lending being well spread across the Different Industries and sectors but also in households you see mortgages picking up, Consumer Lending picking up. Thats all in support of the economy, what you see is Consumer Confidence is the highest since 2001 and and the index is higher since 1997. Maria wow. The economy is really going on all cylinder and you see parallel growth in asia, europe and the u. S. , and thats unique. We should really really kind of embrace it and work with it. Maria does it surprise you that even though we have so many positives, you have Capital Market business is just okay, not great, you know, you look at fixed income trading and then you have some lending pockets that are not so great like lower feico scores . Clearly we should still be cautious if it comes to leveraging up businesses, countries or households too much, we should learn from the crisis and not forget about that. Thats the real important component. On the Capital Market side, on the issuing side theres a good business, on the trading side, the whole thing, markets are all going in one direction and the markets numb and not just going into one direction. Thats why on the trading side, theres not a lot of money to be made at this moment. Maria yeah, there isnt. Whats your take on brexit, when you look across europe, have you finalized plans in terms of what youre going to do in terms of london being a hub when we dont have really certainty and clarity on whats happening with brexit . Yeah, this is a real issue for all of us, not only banks before businesses in europe in the continent as well as in the u. S. They have a hard stance against each other. The only way to prepare for this is to expect the worst and prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Maria how do you do that . You mix scenarios that make you ready to, you know, to get through it. If the if there is not a trade agreement between europe and the uk and now real real Playing Field there, a lot of experts will be hurt, banking and banking activities will have to be moved on to the continent and nobody wants that, but you have to prepare for it, so you do backup lines and you make backup plans. Maria so you have been doing that . You have to do that. On both sides they want to do that and in the end this will not be a destabilization of the Financial System and with that having a real impact on the economy. Maria real quick, given that you are a leader in Digital Banking, whats your take on bitcoin . Well, bitcoin and block chain. Bitcoin, i dont understand the underlying drivers, block chain, we are excerpting experimenting with it. We cut back in time from 24 days to 3 days, fully digital now and actually i think we can cut frit 3 days to 1 day, you can make it safer and faster and and more efficient so cheaper as well. Maria because of blockchain . Exactly, only because of blockchain. Thats what we have been doing. We have done it and i really believe in that and that will bring efficiency to global trade as well. Maria ralph, we will be watching, we so appreciate it, ralph, ceo of ing, coming up silicon valleys reaction to President Trumps new tax plan, microsoft cofounder bill gates will weigh in on the legislations impact on the technology community.

This is the hardest cheryl get this Chris Jackson made a fortunate discovery, 8 million worth of bitcoins he had stashed years ago and completely forgot about. This went down in 2014. 50 cent let fractions of bitcoin, at the time bitcoin was only 262, theres todays contract, 11,000 and change. 50 cent with the humble brag on instagram and twitter said this, quote, not bad for a kid from the south side, i am so proud of me. He may like 400 grand at the time, maria. [laughter] cheryl there he is. Maria that is funny. We have to get dagens reaction on that one. I mean, look, dagen, the price has skyrocketed so i get it, he forgot, i guess. Dagen not a humble brag, just to brag. I call him curtis jackson, i interviewed him. I do not call him 50 cent. Ly point out in terms of financial no how, he did have to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection back in 2015, the case was discharged about a year ago after he paid 22 million in debt. So, again, much is always made of his financial but he has gotten into Financial Issues in the past. Maria would you rather be lucky or smart . Dagen smart. All day long. [laughter] dagen beauty might fade but idiocy is forever. Cheryl i will take the 8 million, maria. Maria there you go. We will take a break. Technology companies are impacted by the new legislation.

I just want to know, am i gonna be okay . I know people who specialize in am i going to be okay. I like that. You may need glasses though. Yeah. Schedule a complimentary goal Planning Session today with td ameritrade. We have it is tax reform x cuts done last year, we couldnt be more committed about that. Thats american jobs and growth for American Workers, we have the largest delegation than weve ever had is to say to the business, we are open for business, attractive for business and come invest in the u. S. And a good u. S. Economy is great for the rest of the world. Maria treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin here in davos, one sector reacting positively to the plan, the technology community. I was able to talk with microsoft cofounder bill gates on what he thinks of reform and battle of daca and bill Gates Foundation was not sold on impact on tax plan, listen to this. Its incredibly positive story in that from the year 2000 till now we cut debts by 60 , so it was about a million and now less than a half million. Its not a thing that private sector would choose to invest in so through grants we go through the privatesector companies whether they are small biotech and new insecticides from the drug companies, new drugs, new vaccines and, you know, its purely that the government money and, you know, we want to cut childhood death half again, 10 million a year, 5 million now, by 2030 we want to be at the low 2 and a half million, but unless you are serious about malaria, you will never get there because thats a half million right now. Maria has technology played a role here . Technology is very important because the software that lets us understand how to invent new drugs and lets us model whats going on with the mosquitoes, how hard to get eradication, we have very Sophisticated Software models that are being used and then we use cell phones to track where the cases get that gps location, so it would be very tough to do this without modern digital technology. Maria bill, i was reading an article and this was written literally about 15 years ago where you predicted how the world would change in the next 15 years, everything you said is happening today, whether itd be we are going to be ordering goods and having them delivered and online and we are going to be talking with each other, can you talk to us about the importance of ai and how lit change the economy . Well, its simply Better Software and so, you know, seeing one place that its super exciting is that when you have excusers that can see, then looking say on a reform, worker is not wearing a helmet, is there a spill somewhere, in the highvalue environments whether its operating room or a jail or a factory, courthouse, youll be able to transcribe everything thats being said and youll be able to see things if theyre safety violations, even a construction site and so youll be far more efficient using resources, far more aware of whats going on and its very cheap now because computers can see and hear as well as humans can. Maria your foundation has also focused on jobs where we dont see many jobs and i want to ask you about that in relation to ai, people are worried in terms of ai machinelearning taking over for humans . Well, certainly we can look forward to the idea that vacations will be longer at some point, if we can actually produce twice as much as we make today with less labor, you know, the purpose of humanity is not just to, you know, sit behind counter and sell things. You know, more free time is not a terrible thing, its not a case of shortage, now, the government in terms of adjusting and having safety net that works so people can get retrained it would be changes because the rate of change will be faster in the next 20 years than its been before. This is a problem of excess where you can make everything and so can you redirect people to help the elderly to reduce class size, to help out kids with special needs, youll have the resources because youll just be so much more productive. Maria let me get your take on the most recent policy, tax cuts, do you think this was a good idea . Well, every country has very complicated tax codes. Have to say did it serve whatever you want to do about equity, and i wont say score high on that, longterm affordability. So as a percentage of gdp it wasnt gigantic, we had strong Business Environment going into it, so i dont see it as a huge plus or huge minus, when you step back and look at what we are focused on which is helping the worlds poorest. Maria when you look at something taking money back from overseas, wouldnt that be something that encourage Large Companies like technology, like a microsoft to take money back . Well, our money is always been accessible. Apple issues bonds, microsoft issues bonds, apple buys microsoft bonds. The money really wasnt like sitting in some far away place, you know, companies decide to invest based on the pnl structure and not just at pure asset structure, so, you know, fine, but it doesnt really change which projects are starting, how many engineers are employing anything like that. Maria ive got to get your take on the Employment Situation right now because theres this whole debate about daca, brad smith from microsoft, president , we had him earlier, he wrote a letter to President Trump, we need to protect the dreamers in terms of daca, when you see whats happening with Machine Learning, you see where the unEmployment Situation is, its almost full employment, we need immigrants to come in, isnt that right, how would you characterize the need for work today . Well, we built the country on immigrants. We are a very lucky country where lots of highly energetic and talented people want to come to the country, exactly what the policies should be is complicated. People were young when they came here, they have spent most of their life in america, you know, they want to contribute, i certainly believe that we should all want them to stay and contribute so im hopeful that the dreamers can be put you still have a lot of immigrants where you want to clarify what they should get, we could get the dreamers and look at immigration more broadly. Maria let me end where i began, malaria and foundation, has it been an easy sell for you, i know its largely coming from governments, do people understand the importance of the issue, do they understand that we are not where not where we need to be in terms of eradicating . Polio, their parents or grandparents remember that fdr was paralyzed by polio and that people in the 50s were really afraid of it, hiv, of course, the u. S. Had hiv epidemic and still has a challenge with that. So those are easier, malaria hasnt been in the u. S. For a long time. Our best case is where people actually have an opportunity to go to africa to see how much progress is being made, so whether its politicians or scientists, encouraging them to get out there and see the great progress. Maria my thanks to bill gates joining us this morning. We will take a break. When we come back, improving americas roads and bridges, transportation secretary elaine chao weighs on the agenda alexa taking sides, what pick of the team to win the super boll coming up next. Here again is Maria Bartiromo with a special edition a mornings with maria live from davos, switzerland. Good thursday morning welcome back everybody. I am Maria Bartiromo. Your top stories right now. 7 30 a. M. On the east coast. President trump arrives in davos. He makes good on a promise to make America First. About the reaction from companies on this historic tax overhaul. The response that weve seen in the short time of them bringing back hundreds of millions of dollars. All the banks in manufacturing. People now investing tens of millions of dollars in the u. S. And giving workers raises. This is what this is all about. We are looking at a response. It is raising prices. Steep new tariffs on imports. There is a sense a very constructive change in world trade. Were actually sectors anymore. As a they take another record yesterday. The s p and the nasdaq well lower on a declining technical stock. The dollar keeps sliding. Up a new high. The momentum continues. Its expected to open up about 90. 2 hours. Its also higher. Half a higher this morning. In europe this morning different story. More of a cautious tone. The ft 100 is up about ten points. In asia overnight markets closed mostly in the red on the weaker dollar with the exception of korea down better than 1 . Airline earnings Airline Earnings taking flight on wall street. Along with caterpillar we will bring you those numbers. American Airlines Just hit the wires. The numbers beat the expectations. Earnings and revenue were above estimate. Whos going to win the super bowl. Shes making a big call for a big game. Who does she think will take will take home the lombardi trophy. President trump arrives just about an hour ago he is joined by several key cabinet members. The president is talking about a 1. 7 trillion investment in infrastructure that is a lot more than the 1 trillion that we had anticipated i spoke to elaine about that. Its been good to cost much more than we expected. We began with the begin with the future of self driving cars. Im concerned about the safety of our Transportation System the aging infrastructure and also preparing our country to face the future. In the transformative nature of technology is very exciting but also cautions us about Safety Security accessibility and also privacy. We are now seeing self driving cars at a stage to level and we are beginning to see an increase Pilot Program and how we can increase automated driving systems to make them safer to help and teach them how to drive in urban areas these are important transformational changes that are impacting the sector. I think it will come not as fast as some people would say but sooner than many of us expect. In terms of why we are looking at the automated driving systems. 94 percent of accidents occur because of human error. We can reduce the human error and we can increase safety on our roads. The second issue is assess ability. We look at the elderly and also people with disabilities. If theyre able to access automated driving systems and self driving cars they will reclaim their freedom so in terms of their quality of life it is wonderful. What about error when it comes to technology. How do we know were not to get into one of these self driving cars. That is what the security comes in. As you mentioned anyway that the Computer System is compromised the net prevents a very large issue not only on our roads potentially in terms of security each one of the cars will become a weapon. We need to address legitimate issues about safety concerns privacy concerns security concerns as well. On a government level what you see getting accomplished in terms of self driving cars. As a partnership between private and public in terms of creating this new industry. We as regulators have a very Important Role in fostering this new emerging technology. My role is to ensure that government acts responsibly. And that means to promote the creativity and innovation which gave rise to this technology into make sure that it remains a part of who we are as americans because the innovation and the creativity is very much our preeminent advantage we need to make sure that those issues that we just mentioned about security about safety are also addressed. In fact we had put out on january 10 for request for information. We are not the fountain of all wisdom. Weve asked them to give us their view on what is happening hampering the creativity and new ideas in the sector weve also put out a new guideline a vision for safety 2. 0 in which we have voluntary guidelines to the states that are also proceeding with regulating on their own and im afraid there may be a patchwork of state regulations on automated driving systems. We want to make sure that were in partnership with the states that were sharing best practices and that we are all regulating or pursuing the common goals of preserving innovation while protecting safety in a responsible way. Whether it be the rulemaking or the regulation. Thirteen years just to approve a bridge that has been enough already. I was just in alaska and i actually gave approval to build a bridge and the approval was 35 years in the making. The hoover dam was built in four years. So we have to do something with the permitting process and that is another very Important Initiative that we are taking throughout the whole government. And when would you expect that to come to completion. It will be part of the infrastructure proposal the state of the union would be january 30. The infrastructure proposal will finally come out. There has been disagreement about how to pay for we are thinking about a trillion dollars and overall spending 200 billion in direct government Funding Minimum and the west rest would be Public Private partnership. Some receipts dont allow the private sector from participating in the building up Public Infrastructure. And yet there among the greatest sources of financing for Public Infrastructure we are working with the states to remove some of the barriers there and also with the new infrastructure proposal so this will be the next big priority out of this administration. I dont know how you deal with some of these disagreements. We just saw the government shutdown. You got the government to open again. How hard was that by the way. The majority never wanted to close of the government. It was a minority. On the very narrow issue which the president has already says needs to be addressed by the congress before the midyear. The issue about that will be addressed. That was part of the reassurance. When all is said and done just yesterday he said forget about the deal on the wall. Im hoping our infrastructure that will give us a chance to be bipartisan. We want the infrastructure built to be a bipartisan effort there is great disagreement as to how to fund it they are saying that will put 200 billion of the 1 trillion but the private sector come in because theres a lot of money in the private sector and the democrats are saying they want 100 financing of the 1 trillion which obviously would be an incredible deficit spending proposal and it would create some havoc with the private markets. I think private companies can participate and in we should allow them to participate because there are many private Pension Funds that are looking for longterm investments. They want investment that will not walk away and certainly a road or bridge would not walk away. We will be watching the cost of the infrastructure plan.

Welcome back here at the World Economic forum. 3million and counting. That is how many workers it benefited. Due to the changes in the Corporate Tax code. A new fox news poll shows that 40 of those polled that the trumpet ministration has made the economy better. We are here with larry singh. Its been so great to have you join us. Congratulations. Much of it have to do with the market. The markets were extraordinary worldwide. You can say about 620 billion was a market appreciation that was new money coming in because people want to be investing in stocks as they see the stock markets going up. Some organizations need to have an Asset Allocation model and as they go up they rebalance its very dynamic but i would say looking backwards we saw flows in the alternative space. We have large flows in our multi asset area. Sixtyseven products added a billion dollars last year. Thirteen countries added a billion dollars. It was broadbased in global. Do you see them putting money into areas where they feel the tax benefits are there. Do you feel like people are changing their investment plans based on what we are seen seeing in that tax bracket. Its my hope that they start recognizing that it was bad to be in cash. We have a 3x increase in our infrastructure market. There is more money is sitting in the sideline than weve ever seen at this moment. In france as you named they have a specific problem in the finance minister are trying to invest. They dont invest over the long run. Imagine the World Economy if people were managing their savings to meet their longterm obligations. Retirement, so they have money properly placed in the needs and the duration of the assets meaning if you are have a retirement thats a 40 year obligation. He invested over the long horizon. How much more Economic Vitality would we have seen worldwide. The chinese our saving 45 percent of their disposable income. There is not a safety net there. But chinese policy has now impacted those. Theyre now preparing to help those it was a worldwide phenomenon in the United States and the the biggest phenomenon is the under savings. And whats really concerning me we have the strongest economy that weve had in 12 or 14 years we have huge Wealth Creation and the equity markets but we dont have a large broad participation. In equity markets. And so this is something im very focused on its ironic everything feels good and yet the anger is still around and you see it worldwide i believe there is just a fear of the future whether its from technology if indeed we do have driverless trucks. What they should be doing is investing in a broad portfolio that i think this is one of the real problems. One of the things i discussed throughout dallas is we need to focus on a financial literacy. More of the population understanding their needs as we moved away from the defined benefit plans. We have not given them the tools to properly navigate that. In the United States and worldwide. We believe we can use technology to help financial literacy. You really want to be longterm in equities. Larger than the Balance Sheets and entire governments. You had been using your powerful positions to encourage companies to do the right thing. Encourage the financial literacy. How can you really move the needle on that . Everything is incremental. And i think we will be responsible for any major change but i believe we need to change the dialogue. As a larger shareholder of Many Companies in the world and in case most of those assets are in our index products those products even if we hated the company i cannot sell those assets. In an index we have to own those companies and so therefore we owned a lot of companies and a lot of good companies. And we believe more money is moving into the index over the next five years. As a result there is a deeper and deeper responsibility to focus on the longterm. What we are trying to tell ceos and chairmen more and more a peoples money is going into index. That is a good thing for you because of longterm money that is interested in investing in you. To manage your company for the longterm. There is no question im a public ceo. Some of my investors are shortterm. Theyve done very well. And so my corporate letter this year it was talking about focusing on the longterm identify what your longterm strategy is. And then i made a broader statement that i said Companies Need to have a purpose when employees understand the purpose it becomes a cultural carrier. When you have a Strong Community of employees generally companies you better. If your clients connect with that purpose they will do more business with you. Which is very optimistic. There was a little bit more pessimism. We are pretty bullish on what it will due to the economy over several years. If we were growing at two and half we would not be some priced to see the u. S. Economy growing at that same rate. Worldwide we are seeing growth. We had split potential political stability. You trade problems. You could end probably the most problematic issue. It would be the acceleration of the Central Banks behavior. Weve a very at the same time we are to have an depending on how fast that Monetary Policy are restrictive in terms of a raising rates. We are benefiting by huge flows into our treasury. There could be a scenario in which that some foreigners are not as interested in the treasury. If thats the case we have a problem because unlike italy and japan where there is a huge debt to gdp but they have domestic savings that her pain for those of deficits. We are the largest economy that is reliant and we have growing deficits. Have you ever had car trouble in a place like this . roaring of truck yes and it was like the worst experience of my life.

Every time someone violates trade rules that to me being a of war dumping steel act of war did you meaning aluminum an act of war dumping anything what i had in mind in terms of conventional definition we drop tariffs the next guy does kind of race to the bottom that is not when were talking about nor do i think there is any chance of that happening.

Great to be here. Thank you so much for joining us. I love the set, love everything about it shoutout to larry fink i didnt wear his jacket very impressed. Not that cold but certainly has a lot of snow, i want to ask you about the messaging that year hearing out of this administration, i want you to take a listen to Steven Mnuchin and wilbur ross what they had to say a few minutes ago. The president also said look were looking at aluminum we are looking at steel should we expect tariffs there. I submitted 232 reports on aluminum, and on steel. Steel first, and then aluminum a week or so ago he has about 90 days left and during that period he will consider what to do. You obviously have been in the front row seat of this issue, in terms of steel, Agency Private businessman your career, is there dumping going on in steel . Incredible. Incredible amount. Yesterday you said there have always been trade wars, that the difference now u. S. Troops are now coming to the ramparts were you suggesting u. S. Is engaging in to some when a of a trade war or just the way people look at it. What i meant was this every time someone violates trade rules that to me is act of war. Dumping steel is act of war dumping aluminum an act of war dumping anything, forcing Technology Transfers same thing that is what i had in mind. But in terms of of the conventional definition name bee we drop tariffs next guy next guy kind of race to the bottom that is not what were talking about nor do i think there is any chance of that happening. Maria you are engaged in nafta talks. Right. Maria when would you expect clarity in terms of what new nafta deal looks like. Well, i think you are going to probably have some outcomes from monitor trtreal talks goin audio round scheduled a few weeks later, i think those two will begin to get to the series issues. The issues that have been dealt with so far have been mostly ones that are important in a sense but not makeorbreak issues. We are getting to the important ones, and that is the rights sequence start with easy things build into momentum, and then get to the tough things toward the end end. Maria were you surprised to get all this focus in question . About your comments, that a weaker dollar is good for trade. Again, i am is a about it surprised my comments dollar had been completely consistent with what i said over the last year, but for whatever reason, they have been amplified, the last two days, so let me be clear on my view on this is the dollar, is one of the most liquid trading markets in the world. It is the reserve currency, people have confidence in the dollar, and the safety of the dollar, where the dollar is in the short term, is not a concern of ours. In the long term do i believe the dollar will strengthen in long term, as a result of the u. S. Economy the growth the economy Everything Else but where it is short term is not a concern of ours. And my comment was just stating the fact which in short term, a o lower dollar is helpful to or trade counterbalanc imbalance a statement of fact we support free occurrences other people intervene i think you know treasury put outs you currency report we have issues with other people emhave currency intervention so market will reflect the where currency are again when you look at it over last hour last day last week, three years five years, it moves. Maria yeah, but i guess in past administrations the treasured secretary was also a worried about saying anything about dollar you were honest you basically said what is obvious that a weaker dollar is good for trade. But you know in the past, a lot of interestsry secretaries way we believe in strong dollar policy even if actions didnt support that. I think that is the case, and i think, i think part of the reason that this is created a lot of news is because in recent times, not all times but in recent times you know, going back for a a number of ulteriors, tof year secretary commends on strong dollar strong dollar strong burglar they perspective there is a free market where where it is short at or about the time is not as a concern of hours. Seem from europe said they were change strategy in terms of investing. Every ceo we talked to here from yyou European Company is putting more in u. S. Initially into europe now shifting to u. S. They think the tax policy is much more about attractive. Absolutely. So better than you expected i will tell you the response from companies we thought this was going to be fabulous turned out to be amazing the response that we have seen in a short period of time of apple bringing back, you know hundreds of billions of dollars, of companies whether at t, bofa you go down road jpmorgan all banks manufacturing people now investing tens of bloof billion u. S. Giving raises what it is all about we couldnt be happier with response as secretary ross said the research we hear a lot of people talking about shifting their operations back into the u. S. Maria all right treasury secretary mnuchin commerce secretary wilbur ross i am with Anthony Scaramucci this morning what did you think about messaging mnuchin caught a lot of federal law being for commen a lot of flak for comments. I think he did a good job explaining what he meant broadly what you are hearing from them that is for about 25 years, the watch on trade meaning the guardsmen on our economy were very lax, let companies dump steel do things like that manipulate currency, they let countries take advantage of the quota system as related to trade into United States we didnt do a lot to regulate that clamp down on it, it did have in their opinion in my opinion as well certainly President Trumps opinion deleterious acting an middle class lowe middle class related to he disposable income three things reforming tax he had to to make it better for corporations to put ebb doefbl income in hands of lower class middle class families number two saying notice of to everybody in davos switzerland we are okay with free trade okay with symmetrical trade no longer okay with asymmetrical trade goods and Services Flow into United States freely our stuff embargoed in other places what secretary ross is talking about dumping of stuff. Last point i think the president message is going to be about an America First strategy, is phenomenal for the world 23 china is saudi arabia of manufacturing United States has been the saudi arabia of consumerism if we can get aggregate did he manned up in in middle class lower middle class, that will unleash it had will unleash legendary growth for the world i think the message president has. You have to believe tax plan signed into law, actually did unleash spirits already there is a longterm impact. Very interesting about 50 years from now a president ial historian will write that he had a Teddy Roosevelt moment where Teddy Roosevelt with robber barons in first part of the 20th century said knock it off, start paying your workers more, flush the money through the market system not through nonsense like socialism over governmental regulation, but flush the money down to workers, there is a paradox you become more rich you become more successful, it is really a Teddy Roosevelt strategy more than Andrew Jackson strategy in my opinion. You make a really good point let me ask you about state of union next week president has good story in terms of legislation on taxes, what do you think he should focus on we are waiting on what next policy is we are assuming infrastructure, but then youve got daca situation in terms of dreamers. Yes, so i think that is really what it is going to be i think going to restate what happened over the year, i think he has a lot of stuff topin hat on for that got to address daca situation, i think he will do something unpresentable next three to six months unpredictable negotiate with democrats find Common Ground with them nonsense they pulled on him 55 Minute Press Conference senator durbin said what he said is a bunch of nonsense at the end of the day, guys as many get in a room together, there is Common Ground cut deal favorable for markets about favorable for you business put at ease negative rhetoric throne at president frankly unto you understood. Breaking news right now home depot providing 1,000 dollar cash bonuses to hourly workers. That is a situation right now, here being left out of the situation, they got to get out there, so they can get the positive press, and think about what the bully pulpit does through moral suasion the policy that he can drive an agenda that is really good for american people, and long term, will be very good for the world. Let me ask you about markets you obviously have been he ben markets guy a long time watched upset and ups and downs, 7 1 2 trillion dollars new value again markets dont go up in a Straight Line do you expect markets continuing to record territory in 18. Anybody at this, this is 30th year observing markets knows cant go up Straight Line knows there will be more volatility, that is why i caution people at home to have a rationale practicing asset lotion plan some in market some bonds and cash as whating on in market because forecasting future Earnings Growth forecasting better profits for companies remember you take taxes down from i guess they were 35 40 look at local as well. Exactly. 21 huge deal. A little bit of tightening Better Technology in your company, you are probably going to drop 40 to 50 more profitability down to bottom line, so the market going up 7 1 2 trillion dollars is in line with what the predicting to happen i am he okay with market here one measurement i think professionals use price relative to overall gdp if it goes over 200 , then that is in red lighted zone people have to be careful not there yet i do think we are going to have surprisingly good year this year, just because of what is happening in taxes in United States. They are looking at 23 Earnings Growths for s p 500 in 2018. Those companies will use some of that profitability to apply back stock you know, as you shrink the denominator in that situation more powerful on epi. Ss. We leave it eps. Always a pressure fwooed to see you i should have took jacket off. More macho larry fink was more macho than me today i am about upset about it. You are macho we know you are, Anthony Scaramucci. Brooklyn girl now really good pm. Macho we will be right back, stay with us. Good luck out there, captain thanks but i dont need luck, i have skills. I dont have my keys. on intercom all hands. We are looking for the captains keys again. They are on a silver carabiner. Oh, this is bad. As long as people misplace their keys, you can count on geico saving folks money. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Casone with details in new york cheryl you just mentioned this on the air we pick up getting new details on this home depot story, that is just crossing, home depot workers going to get little extra in pockets thanks to tax reform as you he mentioned, hourly workerers in United States going to will get cash bonus up to 1,000 dollars, the company also saying yes this will have impact on Fourth Quarter earnings, many, of course, telling us a hit to the earnings, but comes at fiscal 2017 Fourth Quarter numbers for home depot, there is the stock premarket up more than a quarter of a pooercent. Target, the launching same day a could Delivery Service in florida using target acquired for 550 Million Dollars grocery deliver company more than six million in florida access to products from target delivered by ship target up 20 from a year ago.

Dagen lets talk about wildlife and appreciating the beauty of nature, to any eagles fans thinking about tackling a horse remember that, that will make me root for the patriots, something i would never thought i would say. Dagen i know that you are you saw the oped this morning in the journal, really criticizing mnuchin calling out dietary saying it is better to be weak for trade what is your take i have i have it in front of me tar irrevereniftariffs, t greenback bad surprising upsetting from an administration that has tone so much to juice economy growing fast evident pays 12 years executing taxes tax reforms for businesses individuals getting out of the way of business cutting regulation this drives up prices for americans from imported goods would raise Interest Rates in a nation to up our eyeballs in debt, not good.

S. And a good u. S. Economy is great for the rest of the world. Maria treasury secretary mnuchin joining me this morning to Health Impact of President Trumps trip to davos joining me right now ceo of principal Global Investors, great to see you thanks for being here. You have to be feeling good about where markets are, you are obviously investor are you fully invested pretty fully invest where we have choice yeah. Do you think going to continue. I think so i could get boring zuk in groove on this u. S. Equities remain buy o dips i reason i say even though gone up a long way since election, that he rises is fully justified by changes in Corporate Taxes, if we see decent growth next two or at least yooshgs equity ought to be able to go higher i thought of the analogy 1999 internet bubble we are in 98 not 99 ratings not that high fundamentals really pretty good. So that we had another investor on earlier said he is expecting a 15 to 20 gain in stocks in 2018. It could happen. My expectation is probably more like 10, i think 80 chances it could be 20 easily may be 20 probability one of these negative tails risks goes wrong, oil supplies from gulf, may be somewhere in the world, all those things are possible, not expected, and it is very you dont invest for a 20 probability. The 80 probability is resession 3 years out still pretty good growth. You are is what just under 450 billion. 450 billion dollars allocating that where . What sectors areas do you think are poised to move higher. I continue to like u. S. Equities particularly small and midcap domestic earnings dmechg u. S. Economy things we are hearing will get boost remember we talk a lot about the daytoday a little bit, really interesting, but the United States has got most productive most Innovative Private sector in the world, that is the main draw on capital, so i expect that to continue to be the case. I actually in contrast for european equities the strength may happen because of a generally good liquidity tone in market but i think the growth for the long term less sustainable. We should point out that the ecb left Interest Rates unchanged today, and european economy seems back to growth. Yes. Maria you are saying sell on strength there, buy the dips in u. S. , technology for a second this is something you have been focused on recently you are seeing more and per Money Managers buy technology in terms of Tech Companies so that they could organize data, that they can mine data tell me about that. Weve been, in the data science business quite a long time, it is to us it is an adjunct to Traditional Research not a substitute for it, and weve got long term pretty successful track records, for those the steady use steady use of fundamental research, coupled with some very sophisticated Data Analysis we have so far done that mainly by organic growth but i wouldnt rule out an acquisition, too i dont think we need an acquisition, because we are pretty leading edge in Data Analysis. Data is incredible, the more data you can gather mine will tell you more about your customers, more about what they really want. Using Machine LearningArtificial Intelligence, this is one of the biggest topics at this conference, as businesspeople talk, is how they can strategically use data science Artificial Intelligence, and that is something i think will continue to be an important driver, probably more than mostly people think technology is quite inflationariry keeps costs down makes you able to do more with money that is pretty good but it does to inflation looks deflationary in economic eating. Speaking of inflation do you worry at some point we are talking about higher wages inflation for all the right reasons, by the way, because economy is growing, but would that be the catalyst to take this market off track. It could in theory be i am not very worried about that. In a sense, if it was going to happen easily would have happened already, you know. On the tailor rule we ought to have had bit of facing already we really havent had it i think that is the key, about technology is keeping inflation from coming in of a ta fast might happen but probably slow. Great to see the show you that enjoy davos. Maria we appreciate, jim joining us there take a break whether we come back President Trump arrived in davos with America First message what to expect head of the president s speech, at World EconomicForum Tomorrow we will talk about that, and future of Artificial Intelligence, weve got more on that, the ceo of accenture north america on how technology is boosting revenue, back in a moment.

Reporter good morning to you as well commerce secretary ross treasury secretary mnuchin clarifying comments on very program i got a bit of play in davos yesterday the commerce secretary ross saying yesterday that trade wars are happening every day, socially that u. S. Troops are gearing up, ross saying this morning he does not feel there is going to be a race to the bottom, and that his comments yesterday are recognition that others are engaging in trade abuses. What i meant was this, every time someone violates trade rules that to me is an act of war. Dumping steal an act of war dumping aluminum is an act of war dumping anything, forcing Technology Transfers same thing that is what i had in mind. He moved dollar to downside saying a weaker dollar is is good for u. S. As it relates to trade, he said this morning, that what he said yesterday was just a recognition of reality. My comment was just stating the fact, which in short term, a lower dollar is helpful to trade imbalance has certain benefits a statement of fact. President trump is here in davos now, mnuchin saying that they feel that the administration has a really good story to tell while they are here 3 gdp tax cuts the companies, all across the country that are giving bonuses, on down the line the president will make his speech here in davos tomorrow, by the way, of this huge delegation that is here, in davos, that does not include the chief of staff kelly.

Exactly blake burman here with us in davos, future is now. And so is the chance to invest, accenture business invest in a. I. Technology human Machine Learning collaboration they could look to revenue by 38 , in employment levels 10 by 2022 joining me here at forum in switzerland is the ceo of accenture north america, julie, great to see you. Great to see you those are big numbers. They really are, pretty excited, as you think about the growth the companies have right in fronts of them. Tell us about that, because there is a lot of debate about this. That people feel like well, if you have got Machine Learning going to replace the jobs for that humans have worried about Machine Learning. We really see that it is not about jobs, it is about skills, if you look in u. S. Today 6 million unemployed 6 million jobs that are open. The mismatch between skills and so what we really see the promise is not the focus on jobs, but how can human beings and machines work together, better to drive that growth. And our Research Shows that if you make the investment, you not only get 38 growth, but a 10 net increase in jobs our viewers want to know what does all this mean for me . Tell me what your Research Says about the skill sets that are required to thrive in this new normal . Because we dont want to just go into future not understanding what we need, somebody made comment earlier what is a truck driver know about you know, a. I. What does what does a steel worker know about this what are skill sets our viewers need to understand. I think long term from educational basis Computer Science is going to be like comlish english and math based on being digital, today we are seeing jobs for example, lots of our clients are creating their alexa for every company they want their own personalities, and having to hire people we call these no collar jobs to train what is that personality going to be like that becomes the brand right and different from an old line company to a tech company, that is one example, we see jobs that are going to be created to train, machines, probably more importantly is the growth that condition be opened up by actual redesigning, Business Models business processes to create more jobs, but the key is are companies and governments going do collaborate to skill people and up skill them . Right. I feel every industry is using a. I. Every industry from financial services, to faction Fashion Retail what is big opportunities in ainside big opportunity is giving shumz super powers do things much faster i am a Breast Cancer capital i love the capital of harvard pathologist looked at doctors reading pathology machines separately 96 accuracy humans 92, together 99. 5 you can replicate that it can solve world problems, feeding hungry presignatures agriculture resigning how you do maintenance, safety, the cases endless however we need to think about implications on jobs.

Right, another style example is great, where they have got Artificial Intelligence finding fashion human designers i leave you with one important fact as leaders in davos one of the issues we have to decide and we are talking about is how do we make sure that everyone is benefiting right now only 3 of the executives we are serving going to significantly increase investment in up skilling people so weve got to make sure that the Economic Growth that we are still optimistic about, right, that we as leaders, are working together, to make sure it is inclusive.

Good morning, maria. I think the europeans are scared to death that our much lower business profit tax rate is going to success all the investment money or a lot of it out of europe, and into america. I caught Emmanuel Macron the french president i caught him saying just i think this morning your time, i caught him saying look, we dont want to have a race to the bottom. He was referring to tax rates he is very worried that as america drops top Corporate Tax rate way down there to low 20 level, that is going to bring in a whole bunch of money from other countries, taking advantage of a much lower profit tax rate. I think they are scared about the flow of money wrong they know what to do about it case they are in no position to lower taxes, they should, but they wont. I think they are scared, the money flow that this president is creating. You know what stu already happening your finger on important point, because i was speaking to some investors in europe and they said they had an Investment Strategy to invest in europe, but after tax legacy passed, now law, they have shifted their strategy so you are already seeing it, stu you are seeing money come into u. S. As a result of that. Isnt it interesting to hear the president of france talk about middle class, talk about tax rates he needs an attractive, very much what you are hearing in u. S. Because it had a real impact. The presence is laying down the law saying this is how you do it. You want growth. You want prosperity this is how you do it. Of you not done a very good job you guys over there, you have not been successful, watch us were doing it right i think that beginning to pay attention, because they have to.
