the transpacific partnership will send that message loud and clear for the nations of the pacific rim and countries across the globe. i just want to conclude with a brief story. on this day, 75 years ago, a young baseball player named ted williams of the boston red sox stood on the threshold of greatness. it was the last day of the season and williams began the day with a batting average that rounded up to 400. a figure that only a handful of baseball giants had exceeded -- succeeded. the manager told him he did not expect to play. the scheduled doubleheader that day was meaningless. once could sit on the bench and not run the risk that is average would drop. williams responded, of course you would be in the lineup. if he was right to make history, he would do it on the field, not sitting in the dugout. the night before, williams paced the streets for hours and able to sleep. in the afternoon when he dug his spikes into the batter's box for the first time, he said, he had been shaking like a leaf. maybe can guess the rest. he hits a single the first time appeared than a home run. then

she is elected president, this country, our country the united states will soon be bound by the transpacific partnership and it might happen in a lame-duck session of congress and it may happen after secretary clinton if she becomes president makes a few minor tweaks to the deal but it will happen. why are we doing this? i will tell you why. the same people who the same gridlock in washington for so many years are in favor of it. because they have always been in favor of the things that benefit them and it's usually the top 1% of the country. it's usually big donors and it's usually big corporations who have really fancy lobbyist who have made a lot of money they eat fancy dinners in washington d.c. and wine and dine everybody at the capitol and then along comes donald trump and described it. accurately. he's a rough-and-tumble guy without any political experience and he comes out and he calls everybody out on their blanket the blank and he does in a way that is offputting and i think it's frankly terrifying to a lot of people because when you mess with their status quo than they start getti

snow: no, i am actually against the transpacific partnership. there are a lot of problematic provisions in that -- it feels like there are a number of provisions that gives too much power to corporations that would actually undermine the sovereignty of our own government. also, i find it problematic that many of the provisions were drafted largely in secret, without congressional approval or oversight until very recently. many of our members in the house of representatives and senators had no idea what was in the bill. i find that very problematic. if our congress is supposed to do the vote on such bills, i think it is important that they know what is in it. there needs to be transparency. instead of having a trade bill written by congress, it seems to have been written by private corporations. when we are looking at trade deals overall, i find some of , while theyde deals might have increased trade, i think they have actually hurt american workers and workers abroad. there are no labor protections or environmental protections. there is no wage s

mowrer, you previously expressed support -- no, i'm sorry, opposition to the transpacific partnership -- what do you say to agricultural interests? southwest iowa is a big agricultural area. mr. mowrer: i think it is remarkable that the one area that the secretary clinton and trump agree on is a opposition to the tpp, because they know it will ship american jobs overseas. it is something that congressman young supports. it is the one area they agreed that they know it is so dangerous for our future -- he does support. so, i grew up on a family farm to it i talked to farmers, they understand that we have trade deals that get our products to market but have appropriate protections. the tpp does not have proper environmental and labor standards in place. it would continue to ship jobs overseas. what i do support our number one, good trade deals. they do have appropriate provisions in place. but also the export import bank. the export import bank helps small businesses get their products to market. and move them overseas. the export import bank supports 1500 jobs in iowa. it cost the taxp

with respect to the transpacific partnership, which is a very significant agreement, when she was partf the obama administration, if you actually think about the timing of her words, what she was suggesting is that the negotiation that is taking place would be a gold standard how -- at a time when what was on the table really was providing the president with fast track authority. when it was time for the united states congress to actually vote on that fast-track authority, when we had some sense of what that framework looked like, when there was some meat that was put on the bones, she came out against it. i think that's a reasonable position. it's very hard to take a position against something that you have not seen, and so, when you think about the timing as it relates to tpp, i'm very comfortable in her position. >> i will add that her support for it as secretary of state she never said was contingent on the outcome. but that is your opinion, and i'm here stating the facts as we see them about her statements. i do want to have you hang around, congressman. we have a lot more to talk

we can't let the transpacific partnership, the major trade deal with asia become a casually -- casualty to lame-brain political rhetoric. while continuing to push for a vote on that deal, the business community must make a broader case for trade with facts and passion. boosting trade will help millions of businesses, large and small, export their products and services around the world will allow them to grow and hire workers here at home, while giving the u.s. economy a shot in the arm. beyond policy, the pro-business majority of congress is under threat. the chamber doesn't do presidential politics, but we aggressively engage in the house and senate races, all of the policy stakes i've just outlined, they seem like a hinge on the outcome, they'll hinge on the outcome of the presidential election. i suggest that what happens in the house and senate can and must serve as a back stop against the policies that harm our economy and as a means to advance the priorities that will help drive growth for all of us. that's why the chamber has put it all on the line to preserve a pro-business majo

she says she doesn't support the transpacific partnership. nald t says rip up nafta, renegotiat it and get rid of the tpp. on regulation. hillary cln wants to build on obamacare and the climate change efforts by president obama, both domestically and around the world. donald tru says end obamacare, lift climate change regulations, get rid of the paris agreement among nations around the world. the stakes are especially high for donald trump in this debate because of how poorly he did the first time around. check out these poll numbers. in the national average of polls, before the first debate, he trailed hillary clinton by roughly 2 points. now more than ten days later, he trails by more than 4 points national and is behind almost all the key battleground states. for "nightly businereport," m john harwood in washington. >> boeing lands a big order from the middle east. and that is where we begin tonight's mart focus. the company has to deal with qatar airways for up to 100 planes. e contract for 40 wide-bodied jets and letter of intent for 60 m

do you support the transpacific partnership? the general concept of free trade versus protectionism. specifically, how did each trade agreements impact your potential constituents in bucks county? a criticaliero: issue. i think it is a false question between the 2 -- a false trade-off. the alternative is protectionism. we trade agreements that are fair. the fundamental problem with the tpp is that it is not fair. it leaves american workers and jobs at risk. you still have the other signatories, systems or they don't have the same environmental productions we have been the u.s. they don't have the same worker safety protections we have fought for over 100 years. and in fact this agreement would ultimately subject those to potentialin u.s. litigation and challenge. the issue isn't whether it will be protectionism or trade agreements but whether we will have fair trade agreements that will level the playing field so that american workers and american jobs can compete with developing countries. that is what we ought to be fighting f

she is elected president, this country, our country the united states will soon be bound by the transpacificartnership and it might happen in a lame-duck session of congress and it may happen after secretary clinton if she becomes president makes a . . . i will tell you why. the same people who the same gridlock in washington for so many years are in favor of it. because they have always been in favor of the things that benefit them and it's usually the top 1% of the country. it's usually big donors and it's usually big corporations who have really fancy lobbyist who have made a lot of money they eat fancy dinners in washington d.c. and wine and dine everybody at the capitol and then along comes donald trump and described it. accurately. . . . on their blanket the blank and he does in a way that is offputting and i think it's frankly terrifying to a lot of people because when you mess with their status quo than they start getting really serious about fighting you. donald trump will not be beholden to big donors. he will not be behold into wall street. wall street is endorsing hillary clinton

second, i will announce our withdraw from the transpacific partnership, a potential disaster for our country. third, i will direct my secretary of the treasury to labor china a currency manipulator. a currency manipulator. what they have done to us by playing currency is very sad. i do not blame them, i blame our politicians for letting this take place. so easy to stop. fourth, i will identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact american workers and direct federal workers to do every two under international law to end those abuses immediately.

take the transpacific partnership, the most recent underagreement, where u.s.and the government has to evaluate what is the impact of the trade agreements on gdp. the itc did it. it's going to be pro-trade, giving an optimistic estimate. the optimistic estimate was the effect on trade, on gdp, after 15 years, was about .15%. this agreement is not about trade. it's about giving more power to the corporations. it is not protectionism we are talking about, it's rewriting the rules of trade to make it better for all musicians in all countries. vonnie: is no deal better than a bad deal? joseph: this is about an attempt by corporations to rewrite the rules not only of trade but of the economy to make it more difficult to regulate for health , for environment, safety. vonnie: if we go by our most recent polling, let's say hillary wins, what do you see in terms of policies under a clinton administration? joseph: i think she's been very aear about putting forward more progressive tax policy. one of the thing that happens over the last 35 years, more and more money goes
