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.

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
