he had a message for unions who are against the tpp. listen to this. >> the way i say to unions is if they want to sell to another country, they go make it in that country. outsource jobs into that country. getting a trade agreement means you eliminate those barriers that allow you to make it in america and send it overseas because you removed the trade barriers that prohibit that from happening. >> your response? >> i my response is that very little of the transpacific partnership is about trade barriers. 75% of the chapters are about protecting multi-national investors. as keith ellison just said the companies that are rich on this are the ones that move jobs from the united states to countries like vietnam with guarantees that vietnam will do nothing to change labor rights or environmental rights and damage the profits of those companies. that's the investor state dispute settlement that guarantees those future profits. so he's got it exactly backwards. no surprise because he takes his instructions from the u.s. chamber of commerce.

today clinton said she's had several conversations with workers about the tpp. an article on the hill points out, clinton's has not of being cautious could hurt her. she could end up alienating liberal democrats in the process. it shows in the poll numbers. a new quinnipiac poll shows 37% of voters do not trust her. on the flip side bernie sanders's favor sablt at positive 7. 42% haven't heard enough about him. the poll shows bernie sanders beating donald trump by 7 points in a match-up. clinton beats trump by 12 points. bernie sanders's campaign is focusing on a grassroots effort to elect the candidate. last night, his volunteers hosted over 3,000 grassroots gathering to mobilize foot soldiers for his campaign. over 100,000 people packed houses, coffee shops and other venues around the country. bernie sanders delivered this video message to supporters. >> we need your help knocking on doors. we need your help making phone calls. we need your help to talk to your brothers and your sisters, your co-workers your family members. bring them in. we will make history

i don't know how any democrat can be for fast track of the tpp and say they're for the middle class. for more on this let's turn to leo gerard the president of the international steelworkers union. good to have you with us tonight. i know you're working capitol hill because we're in the 11 hour on this. in fact, this was supposed to happen back in january. here we are in the middle of april. what happened? >> i think that what happened is that they don't have the votes to pass fast track because there's a history now that we can look at. there's a history of what's happened after we've passed these trade deals. we look at what's happened since nafta millions of jobs lost. if you look at what happened with pntr from china, millions of jobs lost. if you look at the deal with south korea, we went from a balanced trade to a $35 billion trade deficit. so a history of these trade deals is looking them right in the face and they can't bring themselves nor should they bring themselves to pass the fast track bill that you're asked to endorse without even seeing what's in the bill. ed we're go

how dangerous is this secrecy about the tpp, as you see it? you say in your letter to the trade representative that members of. >>> congress haven't seen it but corporations have. we seem to be in the 11th of fast track. what about it? >> i'm just hearing a buzz. >> apparently senator sanders is having trouble hearing us. i want to commend the senator there. he wrote a her to the obama administration, saying that there are members of congress who have not seen the full text the full draft of the transpacific partnership, yet they keep telling the american people this is what we have to have for jobs. it's been written by corporations, written by people on wall street. they know what it's all about, but there are elected officials that don't. the lack of transparency has been unbelievable. we'll see where that request goes. >>> coming up new questions about chris christie's business dealings with cowboys' owner jerry jones. >>> but first disgraced former virginia governor bob mcdonnell learns hess fate. keep it here. we're right back with "the

. >> rosa what about that on the verge of fast-track and tpp, would this unravel a lot of the numbers we talked about? >> well first of all, we applaud the numbers. 252,000, you know we're excited about that but i think leo is right. the dark side of that is that wages are stagnant. and if you take a look at what has been the most serious economic challenge that we face in this country today and that is people are not being paid enough on their jobs. wages are stagnant and people are living on the edge. so that if you then move forward with a trade agreement, as has been proposed by the administration, that you will see what has happened in the past with trade agreements is a serious loss of the manufacturing jobs. my state of connecticut has lost manufacturing jobs as a result of nafta. when you think about what will happen with this 12 nation trade agreement. >> congresswoman, the president wants a jobs package. will the republicans try to get good while the going's going and get in this game? >> well you know look the people who are either out of work or have taken work that pays o

where does she stand on the trade and the tpp and fast track? how aggressive is she going to be on the environment? is there a possibility that the democrats won't have a fully vetted candidate, and i know we have known her for 30-something years, but the issues are different now. >> governor o'malley is my governor. i supported him twice. she voted over and over again in the united states senate for a term and a half before she became secretary of state taking positions in favor of raising the minimum wage and supports dodd-frank. he knows she is a progressive. that's why he has supported her. >> what does that mean that elizabeth warren isn't going to run? what does that do to the democratic competition as you see it from a republican standpoint? >> there is no democratic competition. she's going to have all the resources she needs. she raise $9 million and that's pennies for her in 2014. 62% of democrats support hillary clinton. her problem, her challenge, is going to be herself. the quieter that she is the less news she makes, which actually

we still don't know where hillary clinton stands on the tpp, fast track, the transpacific partnership as well. her record shows she supported past trade agreements. she's remained silent on the keystone xl project and has yet to lay out her economic agenda. things are different here in 2015 from what they were in 2007 and 2008. clinton's position could remain a mystery without debate the way things are going. she's facing very little competition or questions from anybody on these issues. she hasn't announced, i know that, but the field is getting cleared. elizabeth warren said she will not run. >> we need to refinance student loan rates. we need to make sure social security is secure into the future. we need to do equal pay for equal work. we need to raise the minimum wage. i just want two things from the big banks, and this is really true. i want them not to cheat people. that's why i think we need a strong consumer protection bureau. i want it so they can't wreck the american economy. >> if you were to interview hillary clinton, she would say exactly the same thing, but there's a my

i oppose tpp. she has not been clear on it. there are very significant differences of opinion that we zr. >> so is that why bernie sanders is getting all the crowds? there is no doubt he's on a role. he's drawing massive crowds of thousands all over the country. recent polls show him closing the gap in iowa and new hampshire. some of his colleagues in the senate, well they are not so excited about the recent surge. they fear he is going to hurt hillary clinton's chances. i just hope they don't move hillary so far left that people believe she is out of the realm. i've seen bases move people. senator mccaskill said this. i just don't believe someone whose that self described socialist is going to be elected to be president. sanders told politico he's been an underdog since 1981. he said people should not underestimate me. both candidates have a good record with labor. they both have gotten support from labor unions in the past. any democratic candidate trying to gain support from unianceons need to focus on the core issues we've

meetings at the white house, security meetings at the white house on trade promotional authority and the tpp. i know that your caucus is against this deal. wasn't this a day of mixed messages? >> there's a contradiction there. we're opposed to the fast track. as members of congress, we have to have a role in protecting jobs here in america, the environment, and for all the nations involved raising the standard of living and helping all. we're for trade. it has to be fair. it has to be balanced and fast track doesn't do it. and the agreement overall without any substantive changes, it's not going to work. >> is this an 11th hour sell job by the president and his administration? what was this today? >> i think they're nervous about getting this thing passed. everybody in congress has seen trade deals that promised a lot and gave very very little. in fact, actually took away. they're not there. they're a little worried. but look we're not worried about trade, but we are worried about bad investment deals that offshore american jobs and stagnate our wages. we're not going to support that even th

not go the other direction, like keystone and like the tpp. so yes, they need to use every tool at their disposal to say no. we need to say no and then say we want a green new deal. we want millions of clean energy jobs across the country. when they say we want the ttp that will export jobs we need to say no we want fair trade to protect american jobs and increase american wages. when they we want to cut social security. the american people want democrats to say no we will expand social security benefits to keep up with the cost of seniors. the president needs to set the tone. and democrats in the house need to be willing to go there. >> well the president has nothing to lose. he said that in the state of the union address in so many words. and the democrats are going to get run over in the house. we all know that. but they can set a mindset in the country to tell them we're not going to take it anymore. if you're not willing to do that, how do you expect people to get excited about the campaign for 2016? if you're not going to forgs them to l

you know, i'm still waiting for my nafta prize in the mail so we'll see what tpp can do for you. >> dean, do you think there's topics off limits that they won't approach? >> i mean there's always a discussion about the line in comedy. there really is no line. if you do it with a smile and good nature you can get away with it. let's be honest. last year really good jokes by president obama and the right wing people went crazy over it and i wrote about it that certain people politically will not laugh at a joke if they don't agree with it on the left or right, to be honest but generally on right they get real upset about it so the line is not real. it's moved by subjectivity. >> right. a couple things. first of all works will be the biggest nerd at the nerd prom and then secondly when obama did that little comic bit during the state of the union when he said yeah because i won twice and clowned them. do you think we'll have a reprisal of some of that stuff? >> i hope so. he's always good when he's off script. looking very much forward to madeleine albright and the actress who plays the sec

. >> let me use tpp as an example. there are a bunch of republicans in the house that are going to vote against fast track because they don't want to see the president have any authority at all. this probably has something to do with it too. your thoughts on that? >> it hads been this for the last two and a half years. don't let almost win anything. there will be no shutdowns in the congress. we have already had one. now we're headed for the second one. >> great to have you with us gentlemen. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> you can get my podcast at wegoted.com. share your thoughts with us on tweeter at ed show. like us on facebook. we appreciate that. the we got ed twitter account is history. >>> coming up, scott walker's street cred with conservatives has given him national coverage in the gauntlet. >>> tonight we look at the legal battle for financial restitution. >> i think they're running out of time on the clock. the supreme court finally denied their appeal in december of this past year which started a six-mont

. >> does hillary clinton's silence on tpp trouble you? >> i think so. she has to speak out. unlike other policy issues that depend on the congress like reducing student debt the president, the executive branch initiates the trade issues. they initiate and negotiate in secret deals like ttp. the ciliary in termsritical action we would say to candidate clinltton, where do you stand? it's easy enough to say i see countries come out against it from beauolivia and brazile. it's a 20th century version. i think that's important. the rest can be rhetoric about what i want congress to do that they'll never do. this is what the executive branch does. she needs to say no fast track, no investor state. >> all right. >> been a lot of activism on capitol hill. let's see if it has an effect. congresswoman rosa. appreciate the conversation. >>> snuff out smoking with the set of new laws. we'll have the details ahead and chris christie thinks about a run in 2016. we'll look at how his economic record is more of the same old story for the grand ole party. stick around. the pursuit of healthie

on the issues taking on wall street, raising the minimum wage to 15 bucks an hour opposition to the tpp, focusing on the need to overturn citizens united. dealing effectively with climate change, pay equity for women workers. making college tuition free in our public colleges and universities, all of those issues will resonate with working people in 50 states of this country. i think the more we can get our message out, we're doing that the more we can put people on the ground you're going to see those numbers change and us gaining a whole lot of support. >> you mentioned a whole list of issues there that certainly a lot of folks do care about, i want to ask you, the ongoing debate over policing in america, whether it is fair to all citizens, whether some policing is racist in its intent or its impact. >> absolutely. >> what are your thoughts how would you fix some of those concerns? >> well, it is a huge issue. the good news is if you like we are beginning to pay attention to what happened in south carolina, to what happened in baltimore, what happened in new york. and what the america

president obama said the tpp could bring china to the table? >> they've already started putting out feelers about the possibilities of them participating at some point. >> to you? >> to us. to jack lew, the treasury secretary. it sure helps if they are surrounded with countries that are operating with the same kinds of high standards. >> putting out feelers. >> how about a direct quote. what is china saying about this? they're going to keep manipulating their currency? china has done nothing to make this country and you americans out there to believe that they are honest brokers when it comes to international trade. look no further than the steel industry in ohio. thousands of jobs have already been lost and more at risk. countries like china have illegally been dumping steel on our market, undercutting the price. meanwhile, key members of congress haven't made up their mind on fast track. nancy pelosi steny hoyer and james clyburn are all still reportedly undecided. the chairman of the congressional black caucus g.k. butterfield says he's lean
