>> the president and secretary have been clear in their support and request for tpa.et major trade agreements done. the question is not whether those deals can get done without tpp, tpa, the question is can they get done as effectively? we believe that if congress grants the president trade promotion authority, that is the biggest and best way to ensure the best trade deals for our country. >> that authority and really show what it is made of if there aren't any amendments. if there is nothing attached to it. it has to be a straight up-and-down thing. >> that is what tpa is, but not at the exclusion of making sure the congress remains informed about everything we are doing in the context of negotiating those important trade agreements. >> stephan seelig is the undersecretary of commerce for the international commerce department. thank you for your time and. it, it isor to pull not all about the burritos. expansion is on the menu, with an italian flair.

tpa, i think tpa was incorporated in your question and i think it is an extension of my response. i do not think right now there is consensus in either party to bring that forward. as you know, i have been historically a very strong supporter and continue to be. >> yes, ma'am. >> hi. i am from the national disability rights network. my question, i know the answer already because they know how you feel, but in reference to the voting of people with disabilities. mr. lewis and people of color got that right. they have their barriers. people who are in institutions cannot vote. where do you see those people and what are your plans to help with voting rights at home? >> one thing i mentioned to you is the voting rights act to a facilitate people voting. this democracy is better the more inclusive it is. the more people that speak, in other words vote, the better america will be. to the extent we facilitate all people voting, america will be better and certainly as a sponsor of the americans with disabilities act, cosponsor of the amendments act, i believe very strongly that we need to

to play with leadership world get tpa done and close the two deals. >> yes. >> lewis colbert. i just wanted to ask how out of the box did the task force consider creating new multinational organization so for example things that would provide investment funds for the structure, rule of law investments, education and all of those kinds of things and i know you started by saying we are thinking about this in the sovereignty context as opposed to perhaps the way the europeans did it where there were cross investment funds. is that part of it now or is that a bridge bridge too far? >> we started with what exists so one of the items we went back and looked at was the north american development bank which is part of the nafta process. it was part of the political vote trading but it had an interest -- interesting constraint. whether that could have its mandate expanded to be used more effectively. frankly and these are some of the things david and i were kind frequently is the question is how do you connect the private and public sector in this? we also talk about the role of the am

so, coming back to the north american point i would just say, we support the tpa and we say we oughtook at this in north american context. europe has actually done a pretrade agreement with canada. and they took, they're back and forth about the closing aspects of that. so i congratulate the canadians and europeans. i think, the united states need to get its act together. >> if i could, by the way, just on the note of canada, we actually have canadian ambassador here and we're grate if you recall for what he did. i -- grateful to see him earlier. we had the mexican ambassador for the segment at the council to release this. there has been very, very good involvement in this. to cast the answer that bob was just giving, the task force strongly looks forward to confirming the excellence of our legislative and executive branches in the wake of the upcoming elections in passing tpa. then getting ttp done and then moving on to ttip. there is huge interest in it. pp again. i was out in hong kong and tokyo last week. i can assure eurasian partners are being part of that, but our asian partne

[laughter] >> assuming that you are right -- [laughter] one of the points of this report on what we're trying to do is kind of to stir the pot of the debate and that's why we've made some positions. we hope the administration will act on some of these things in its last two years, a part of this is to set up to 2016 debate. so look, you know, i talk to people, i visited primarily the republican side but i know some of the want of the democratic side as well, the standpoint if a candidate to go off to europe or may reduce and stop the major. you are now starting to get people to go to mexico and i hope canada first, recognizing this is good policy africa i think there's some good politics to this that people look at the hispanic american community as well. there's a political

last page in tpa*eupb's payne's investment play book. even ebola.ow i want to go over some areas that were propped up, blocking entry for entrepreneurs, keeping government debt, today we focus on material, industrial complex. the cost of one helicopter, @%sts you, if you bouuht at hardware store. a 300 percent markup. : how about filler body with a 400% markup. how about crown coupling 1500% markup. finally, a 1700% markup. this is what we're talking about. our debt, 17 trillion, and counting. i believe in a strong military, i believe we're gutting it but this is indefenseable to taxpayer. >> president eisenhower warned about this. let's say there are some good things, we have great technology like internet, cell phones, gps, there is good components that is miliiary spending does. >> at what cost, we need a forensic accounting on everything. have you about a 90% markup here. charles: this one 1700% markup. >> you are asking politicians to audit themselves that is not happening. charles: what politician, everyone back open said, i didn't get you a b
