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 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

. >> 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

tonight's question -- do you trust president obama on the tpp? go to pulse.msnbc.com/ed to cast your vote. i'll bring you the results later on in the show. >>> i want to bring in senator bernie sanders tonight from vermont, the independent who has been very cler on this issue all a -- clear on this issue all along. we got an earful from the president. we wanted to make sure his side of the story got out. he said that there are enforceable labor and environmental provisions in the tpp. what does he mean? how enforceable are they? your take. >> we've heard it from almost every trade agreement that's come down the pike and yet you have workers that are being exploited all over the world. it takes years before their concerns are being heard. i think the first point to make about this trade agreement is to look at whose side multi-national corporations are on on this. how do the drug companies feel about this. how does wall street feel about it? all of the multi-nationals believe this is a great agreement. just the other day, i and a few of us spoke b

i support the tpp. we need to be opening markets everywhere. >> so that's who the president is hanging out with on this deal. on the other side you have elizabeth warren, and every single union in this country. >> i do not believe that continuing a set of bad policies policies that are failed makes any sense at all. we need a new direction in trade policy. and the tpp is not that direction. >> millions of jobs paying good wages, and cities and in suburbs and in rural america that have simply disappeared. some have been lost to technology. far too many have been lost to unfair trade practices as jobs are moved overseas. >> so the answer is not only no but hell no. no i'm not going to be doing any single handed trying to defeat it. i've told everybody how i feel. that's the way it is. >> so the partly sunny's challenge here is to prove that this will not ship jobs overseas and he can't do that. meanwhile, history tells us u.s. trade agreements are bad for american workers in the economy. there is a ledger

and later paul ryan promotes the tpp. congressional democrats join me to discuss the latest on fast track fight and more. stay with us. we're right back. better taste. whatever. >>hey. keep your chin up. for years, heinz ketchup has been with the wrong mustard. well, not anymore. introducing heinz new better tasting yellow mustard. mmm! meet the world's newest energy superpower. surprised? in fact, america is now the world's number one natural gas producer... and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology is safely recovering lots more oil and natural gas. supporting millions of new jobs. billions in tax revenue... and a new century of american energy security. the new energy superpower? it's red, white and blue. log on to learn more. >>> and here's where we stand on tonight's bing pulse poll. do you trust the ongoing investigations by law enforcement? 79, 80, 81% of you say no. they say no, they don't trust the investigations. more coming up on "the ed show." stay with us. we're right

these countries are a part of tpp according to the u.s. department of labor commission study, they have virtually hundreds of thousands of people in forced labor. these are people, maiigrants working for the electronics industry. so we want to know how many jobs are lost and certainly senator warren's point is this is a fast track agreement. we don't know what's in the agreement. >> well i have to ask you this senator. when does this become a credibility issue for the president of the united states? the president is saying trust me. the president is saying, look at his record of defending and fighting for the middle class. my point in contention is it's not about what the president has done but will do and what he says he wants which is tpp, which is a horrible trade deal. we all know some of the details not all of them. so in your estimation when does this become a credibility problem for the white house? for the president? >> well i think to answer your question, it is important to understand that it's not just barack obama who is suppor

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

and obviously, we have strong disagreements on the tpp. where i think the president has made his biggest mistake is that after his historic and brilliant 2008 presidential campaign in which he rallied the american people, brought young people into the political process what he did after he was elected is kind of say, hey, thanks a lot. i appreciate it. you're gone. and now i'm going to sit down and argue and try to negotiate with john boehner. i think that was a terrible mistake because here's the truth, ed. and i'm the only candidate maybe to ever say this. no president, not the smartest best human being in the world can do it alone. you cannot take on this the power that is in washington, the billionaires and the lobbyists and the military industrial complex, all this money and power, you can't do it. you need a mass movement of americans who are looking in congress and say directly if you don't make college education affordable, you're out of here. because we know it's going on. if you don't end these huge tax breaks for the rich you're

can your union, and can you support hillary clinton if she supports tpp? >> i think it would be hard regardless of the party, to support a candidate who supports tpp, as we now know it. obviously still a secret. where just as importantly to support fast track, and we don't know what's in fast track. we need populous politics. we need candidates who say i care about jobs. net jobs. imports. killing jobs in america. not just a few export jobs. that we care about pay and how our pay gets held down. i think it's essential that she speak out on these issues. >> essential that she speaks out. i'm hearing that in a lot of corners of the country from a number of different groups. so here comes senator elizabeth warren asking these questions. what kind of pressure do you think that puts on hillary clinton? >> i think what senator warren is doing is great for all of us. as she said in the clip you played, we now have 500 cases under the settlement. this is a reality. and cases like petroleum getting $2 billion from ecuador because they want to save the environment.

he laid out the case for the tpp after that sound byte. the united states is working hard to make this trade deal fair. >> my argument is twofold. number one, precisely because that horse is out of the barn the issue we're trying to deal with now is can we make for a higher bar on labor, on environmental standards, et cetera in that region and write a set of rules that are fairer because right now it's not fair. if you want to improve it that means we need a new trade regime. the old one isn't working for us. the second reason it is important is because the same countries we're negotiating with are the same countries that china is negotiating with. china could write the rules of trade. it means that we will be cut out. >> wait a second. if you're the biggest customer in the world, who is going to want to cut you out? it seems like we're not swinging a big enough stick here. we're the united states of america. we are the biggest customer. we have the best economy and yet we're dancing to somebody else's music. i don't get it. the president

i don't think the tpp is the way to go. i have always been against the tpp and always for american workers. there are other methods and other ways we can do this. this is a flawed trade agreement. to muddy it up with national security, i think is a mistake. appreciate your time. >> good to be here. >> have we done as much as we can do when it comes to a strategy with isis at this point? i mean i think today that this summit at the white house and this speech was the president really putting the icing on the cake of what kind of strategy he wants. he wants turkey involved, the iraqis iraqis, the jordanians, the egyptians. all culminating to work against these extremists that are isis and also their recruiting methods. this was a big speech today by the president, and i think it played really into his strategy. have we gone as far as we can go on isis and what we're doing? is this it? >> i think at this point we probably have, especially since what the president said i think is very circumspect with regard to how he wants to

. >> 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

nurses united voiced their opposition to fast tracking tpp on capitol hill today. the health workers say it threatens access to medicine and wages. the momentum is definitely spreading on the sfat floor. senate floor. >> these agreements are loaded with corporate handouts that weaken our nation's ability to chart its own course. the last thing we need mr. president, is another nafta. >> the alfcio came out stronger than ever. he made a simple statement about what fast tracking tpp means for americans. >> lost jobs and lower wages. that's it. # # # # #. >> labor leaders joined together in atlanta over the past few days. leaders discussed fighting the wave of big money coming into the election and the right to work legislation in states especially in wisconsin. the push for union busting measures is moving at a lightning speed. wisconsin republicans cut short a public hearing on right to work yesterday. and we're concerned about protests from labor supporters. >> we got wind of threats being made to disrupt the hearings. it was a different crowd of people coming to t

in cable news cnn and fox news mentioned the tpp only two times. here on the ed show have discussed the trade agreement on 71 broadcasts. i guess today is 72. we talk about the tpp because it directly affects middle-class jobs. that's what we want in the country. jobs can be outsourced. you can count on it. it's a bad deal. americans need to be aware of this. you need to get in touch with your representative and say wait a minute this is a sovereignty issue. this is a job issue. why in the world would you sign onto something i know damn well you haven't read. ask yourself the question. would you sign a legal document that if affected you personally without reading it? do you know an attorney that would tell you to hey, go ahead. i know you haven't read it. but go ahead and sign it. does it make sense? unfortunately it looks like the tpp will pass with very little or zero debate. last month, there's u.s. trade said it could be wrapped up on wednesday. the trade minister said an agreement could be reacheded in weeks. this trade deal will cover -- lis

the tpp is far greater than any trade deal we have done. it is being modelled after the korea agreement, but it is a microcosm of the big deal on the horizon, whether it is nafta, chorus, or giving china preferred nation trading status. trade deals have killed the middle class in this country. there's no reason we should be putting our economic recovery and progress at risk in a trade deal. this is some serious dice being rolled. for more let me bring in the director of public citizen global trade watch and all with us tonight, the president for alliance of american manufacturing. great to have both of you with us tonight. this is good news for the american economy today. would the tpp put this at risk and who would feel the pinch first? >> here's this great news and then in the face of that there's a push for a trade agreement that we know would make it easier for big corporations to offshore our jobs and throw americans in competition with workers in vietnam who would push down our wages in competition with their 50 cents an hour wages. i

the tpp, how can we even fathom passing the tpp? i don't know. i think it is going to destroy a lot of what we have accomplished over the last 58 months. it makes no sense. it outsources labor to what the conservatives call emerging markets. emerging markets are cheap labor. vietnam, 18 cents on a dollar. that's where the market is going to grow. it is not going to grow here. it is a real threat to our economy. i appreciate the question, but my friend, i think it is -- don't fall into the trap of believing it is just showing signs of improvement. our next question is from frankie. he wants to know why isn't anybody calling out the republicans for putting ted cruz in charge of nasa? actually, there's been so much in the news we haven't had time to get to that story yet, but it's coming. doesn't it make the people at nasa feel all warm and fuzzy that a climate denier is all in charge of that you are funding or has a great deal of influence on it? it's going to be a rough two years, i'd say. lots more coming up on "the ed show". stay with us. >>> st

negotiations for the tpp have been secretive and dangerous. i think if the president of the united states wants to fight for the middle class he's going to have to explain to the american people what the upside is of this toxic deal. joining me tonight is lori wallet director of public citizen global trade watch, and also with us this evening, katrina vanden heuvel editor of "the nation" magazine. lori you first. how close is this to becoming a reality? the republican majority really wants this. it seems like that's all they talk about. where are we with the hourglass? >> well here's the deal. fast track for tpp would make it easier for corporations to send our jobs overseas and would undermine our wages by making americans compete with workers in vietnam making 56 cents an hour. so as the working public can make sure this doesn't happen. this is all going to come down in the next couple weeks. there's going to be a big push in congress to give fast track the blank check that lets a bad trade agreement like tpp get through congress. if we stop

bottom line the tpp is a test. the elected officials have decided are going to have to decide which side they're going to be on and who they are looking out for. joining me tonight, congresswoman from illinois and president of the communication workers of america. both of you have done yeoman's works -- >> happy new year. >> thank you. >> both of you have done yeoman's work trying to alert the american people on. this but president obama, i mean congresswoman, why doesn't -- what does the president see in this that is so good or does he just want to do a deal with republicans for some reason? how do you see this? >> i think in part the president sees that having u.s. influence in the asian rim is a really good idea. and i, for one, would not be against any old trade agreement. but this one doesn't do what we need to do. you mentioned wages as the first thing that are at risk. americans need a raise. american workers, ordinary people have not seen their income go up for three decades. and as the economy is beginning

did have two lawmakers ask me last night what's the big deal about the tpp. really? even last night, the president, i think he was out of the loop on this. >> today our businesses export more than ever. but as we speak, china wants to right the rules for the worldest

you know how can you admit nafta is bad and yet tpp is the right way to go? >> you know i think he truly wants to get a foothold into the asian market. i understand that but if you take nafta or anything even close to nafta as the trade rules, it's going to export u.s. jobs. it is going to depress wages. if you acknowledge that nafta was a problem, as the president did, they have to show us something serious that makes nafta. everything i have seen it is just nafta on steroids. >> gentlemen, great to have you with us. coming up, we have new details on deflate gate. keep it here. nexium, the purple pill, is available without a prescription for frequent heartburn. get complete protection. so no matter where you go, or who you're with. nothing is holding you back. this is nexium level protection™. the #1 prescribed acid-blocking brand, available without a prescription for frequent heartburn. get complete protection. nexium level protection™. i was not expecting to get a ford. we went around the country talking to people who made the switch to ford. it felt n

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

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

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

it would reduce malaysia to a watch list and give them a path to join the tpp. the report is expected to be released later this week. people are outraged. protests were held at the u.s. capitol and the malaysian embassy today. senator robert menendez added fast track that would prohibit tier 3 countries from joining the transpacific partnership. he told vice news upgrading malaysia quote, would represent a blatant manipulation of the administration's own ranking system, undermining the credibility of our international efforts to fight human trafficking. it would be a stain on our country's record of upholding human rights around the world. for more let me bring in texas congressman lloyd doggett. congressman, good to have you with us tonight. >> thank you ed. it is a really horrifying situation. >> why is the state department even considering this? >> well i've raised this directly with the state department earlier, and with ambassador froman. they've assured me earlier that they would not do this. but the report that we're hearing perhaps from a whistle-blower

i have a lot of concerns about tpp. however tpp is really important to the united states geo geopolitically because of what's going on in the south china sea. and i spent time in vietnam and that is the first thing on their agenda is some sort of tpp. so this is not an issue. and bernie because he is not an incumbent gets to say whatever he wants. hillary clinton because she's served in this administration has to be much more careful about what she says about things that have a huge effect on international relationships. and i think as the former secretary of state she understands that. >> does this mercedes play into the poll where a lot of people think hillary isn't trustworthy? if you can't give a straight answer i imagine it plays into that. maybe i'm wrong. your thoughts. >> it could be part of that but i think what's driving her poll numbers down on that question of trustworthiness is clearly her inability to talk about the private server and the e-mails and the deleted e-mails and that whole controversy in additi

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

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

they're using it to argue against the tpp. here is congresswoman rosa delawyerdeare a. >> the house of representatives is getting ready to repeal country of origin labelling. why? because the world trade organization ruled against it. a trade agreement ruled against it. contrary to what the president has said trade agreements have a direct affect on our sovereignty. they have the ability to uproot domestic laws here in the united states. >> for more let me bring in former north dakota senator biran dorgan. nice to see you again. >> good. thanks. >> off the gate here it seems like something consumers would care about and might be politically dicey for the congress to fold on. >>well i think people might wonder why is this a trade issue. i mean, if this country decides, as we have i was involved in the early debates about country of origin labelling. if we decided we want the american people to go to the grocery store and pick up a rump roast and find out where it was produced, where it was processed is it the u.s.? maybe they w

fast tracking the tpp would make it easier to offshore american jobs and push don our inch with as by making americans compete with folks in vietnam who aren't but making 60 cents an hour. this whole thing makes you wonder was there a rabbit hole did he go down there with alice? what's going on around here. it's backwards. i think the congressman was spot on in pointing out that folks want to make sure they don't have more of these job killing, unsafe import flooding agreements, they need to get their congress people to vote against both the fast track bill, but the trade adjustment assistance bill sort of greases the path for the fast track bill. contrary to the intro, they didn't actually fix it, it's a gimmick fix, it's a fix where you have to vote for $700 million cut in medicare with the hope that you vote after to fix that thing you voted for, except you're on the record having voted for cutting granny's medicare. >> pig latin, george other well. and louis carroll in one bite. why pass this trade adjustment assistance if no jobs are being outsourced. >> i'm at a big loss why the

tonight's question will democrats hold the line against the tpp? keep voting until the end of the hour. we'll be right back. you know our new rope has actually passed all the tests. we're ready to start with production. ok, are you doing test markets like last time? uh, no we're going to roll out globally. ok. we'll start working on some financing options right away. thanks, joe. oh, yeah. it's a game-changer for the rock-climbing industry. this is one strong rope! huh joe? oh, yeah it's incredible! how you doing team? jeff you good?

>> if fast track passes tpp will pass. there's no question about that. ed, there is a reason why virtually every corporation in america, the pharmaceutical industry and wall street want this to be passed and there is a reason as you just mentioned, why every union, many environmental groups and religious groups are against it. because anyone who looks at history understands that our trade policies from nafta, cafta, to china, have been a disaster for the american workers since 2001 we have lost almost 60,000 factories. not all attributeable to trade, but a lot of it is. millions of decent paying jobs. our demand now must be to corporate america and say to them, you want us to buy your products. the time is long overdue for you to stop outsourcing. let's create and manufacture those products here in the united states. that's what this is about. >> senator, does the size and the magnitude of this deal and the impact place a different importance on fast track? the question should congress be able to read trade deals before they vote on them? >> well that's

does it darken the door of those who don't want the tpp? >> well this whole fight has been a situation where in the face of the public polling shows a majority of democrats, republicans and independents opposing fasttrack, the folks in congress and the corporate coalition in the white house have resorted to a bunch of unbelievably byzantine gimmicks and the most recent one basically was this business of splitting up the vote into three pieces which you know they got hung by their own petard. that went down. this newest gimmick is basically for the first time in the history of the house of representatives to take a counterresolution, which is kind of putting a vote you don't like the results of you can put it basically in the freezer for two days. it's called a motion to reconsider. that's a two-day window to come back and vote. well, it didn't get any better in two days. congress democrats and republicans alike, are still saying no thank you. what they did today is they did, unprecedented, a deal to have this two-day resolution stretched al

he wants that authority to do the tpp or the taa. all right, now he's got a lot of work to do here at this point. he's got very little support. on tuesday, minority leader nancy pelosi told cnbc her thoughts on fast track. >> i've not been a big supporter of fasttrack. i don't think it is even necessary. it is a convenience for the administration. it is an advantage for the business community. but it is a hardship for workers. because there just -- it just isn't fair. >> the word is president obama hasn't spoken to pelosi since she sunk this trade deal on friday. it's clear house democrats aren't in president obama's corner like this so what do you do? i guess you have a picnic. a ball game last yeek. might as well have a picnic now in the backyard. pelosi is right. and fast track is great for corporations because they get the right the rules. meanwhile a huge disadvantage for american workers. they don't have a voice unless all, and i mean all of the democrats hold their ground. get your cell phones out. tonight's question is fast t

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.

but tpp is 40% of the world's economy. this is a $400 million program. it is peanuts compared to what this trade agreement is. and republicans -- i mean i don't trust boehner on it. republicans are willing to jetson these workers. and jedsen. >> and unfortunately too many republicans -- >> do you think obama is going to move forward on this taa? republicans have given us no reason to believe what they say. okay? >> yeah. >> and so number one, where is the president going to land on this? and number two, just what kind of a package are we talking about? >> i met with some labor department people today and asked them to convince the president and others in the administration to put the same effort into the minimum wage in enforcement of overtime. and creating building trades jobs and many other jobs in the highway bill to put that same effort into that as the president and his allies and the administration put into tpa. i don't know if the president will sign this without taa. i don't know. somebody's got to have the conversation with him before they vote

so even with tpp u.s. goods will be still subject to high tariffs. on the flipside the united states has no value-added tax. so foreign goods can just flood the united states market. tariff free. commentary tonight. i've covered this for over a year. at this hour i don't recognize president obama anymore. i don't know who this guy is. this is not what he campaigned on. i'm totally confused at everything he has done throughout this entire process. it's been a lot of generic talk and a sell job but no specifics and promises that have never been lived up to. the president, remember never mentioned a word about the massive trade agreement during the 2012 reelection campaign. in fact president obama made outsourcing and the actions of mitt romney closing down plants a focal point of his campaign. let it be said beyond a shadow of a doubt this is the biggest wind wall street has ever had when it comes to trade. t there's never been a bigger deal. also the biggest loss labor has ever had in this country. a real black eye it. seems to me this president has t

trust me on fast track and the tpp. it's the same pitch he's been out making on the road time and time again. >> i've spent six and a half years trying to rescue this economy. six and a half years of trying to revitalize american manufacturing, including rescuing an american auto industry that was on its back and has now fully recovered. so i would not risk any of that. if i thought the trade deals were going to undermine it. if i didn't think that this was the right thing to do for working families i would not be fighting for it. if any agreement undercuts working families, i won't sign it. >> well that is pretty convincing and i suppose that's what the phone calls sound like. politico reports nancy pelosi doesn't want president obama to be embarrassed. is that what this is about? that's what they report. that's not a direct quote. because she doesn't want to see the president embarrassed i guess because of fast track authority, if he doesn't get it it will make him look bad. they report "administration officials have

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

vice president, who never talks about the tpp, you need to reverse your positions on this tpp and fast track because it will gut more american jobs. joining me is john nichols, and the executive director of wisconsin jobs now. jennifer, you first. do you feel like this administration has been standing with you all along? >> well listen. i think the obvious answer here when it comes to workers' rights is no. i think it is important to understand it is not just president obama, but the democratic party as a whole has spent the last several years running away from who we are and what our core values are. we saw the result of that in the last election but the good news is that we're not waiting here in wisconsin for politicians to be leaders. tomorrow, thousands of people from all across the state will be in the streets for the we rise national day of action. we are reclaiming our state. we're taking it directly to scott walker and they're demanding an economy that works for everyone. it is when people get in the streets, when people take back that power, then politicians like president ob
