trade agreements to reduce barriers and make it easier to do business in the united states. since nafta took affect us manufacturing has gone up, automobile manufacturing has gone up and that is important because supply chains impact canada, mexico and the united states and the are the ones that can take advantage of the best parts, the best inputs across the world. we need to move that direction. there is concern if you get too complicated with regulations, this much high-value labor can get complicated and harder to do business. that is one of the details i need to take a look at to pay attention to. >> the trade agreement, canada is back into this, and -- and

the united states, and the congress weizen as well. i think the real win is if you follow what rested -- president reagan was in 1979 when he proposed it, if you are an american it should be easier to do business with people in canada and mexico. it should be if you live in nebraska, easier to do business with someone in mexico as it is with somebody in north dakota. moving in that direction will we move in that direction with more economic freedom or not and that is why the deal is so important. rob: we got to do china, and everywhere else.
