that is what richard trumka, that is how many workers he represents. three-way deal because a lot of states actually depend a lot on the canadian trade back and forth but i think the canadian government recognize this is posturing. this is a tough negotiation. the president is very good at this. given his background in real estate. they fully expected harsh rhetoric. they're fully seeing that right now. i think they want to come to the table as well at this point. so they have a lot riding on it. cheryl: what happened on friday when the comments to bloomberg were published. >> that is part of the reason for the delay. the good news a lot of hard work is already done. chrystia freeland, the canadian foreign minister aid specifically a lot of the work is done on auto. that was really the big bugaboo going into this thing. the other thing would i like to see addressed is intellectual property. nobody is talking about it. the record in canada is pretty poor, especially with our pharmaceutical industry. cheryl: that is interesting. leave us with something i

. >> richard trumka -- thank you.mka said the tax bill would give incentive for people to move their jobs overseas. it was part of his criticism. a lot of the people we talked to, including iron workers say they have that hope the president's deals will come to fruition and create short-term consequences, but will ultimately be able to create something in the long run for them. but that's something we'll be paying attention to because the midterms are here in play in wisconsin. the likes of michigan. the likes of these midwest states where union labor was a big part of the reason why you could create credit to president trump pulling off his victory in november of 2016, kasie. >> vaughn, i know that mr. bryce can't hear me, but if you wouldn't mind asking him one question on my behalf. paul ryan has been very outspoken against the president's tariffs. it's one place he has broken very strongly with the president. and, frankly, traditionally democrats have been more in favor of tariffs. i would just like to know direct

i think that's what you heard richard trumka say.ich is why the president is upset, that he doesn't think workers will be better off if there is a nafta that only includes mexico but does not also include canada. now, the president has made it clear he might want to do a nafta that is mexico alone. i think that if you're richard trumka, you can potentially make that argument that even though the president might be talking the right way, these policies aren't going to shake out right for us. >> and just an example of how complicated this is for republicans, never mind democrats, maine's second congressional district, it was the only one in the whole northeast to go for donald trump in 2016. the u.s. chamber of commerce is running an ad pushing the notion of free trade, against the president's trade policies, in favor of the republican candidate. watch this. >> trade powers maine's economy. we export around the world. from lobsters to boats and cranberries to footwear, trade supports 180,000 jobs here in maine. he's working to protect

"happy labor day, our country is doing better than ever before with an opponent setting record lows. the u.s. has tremendous upside potential as we go about fixing some of the worst trade deals ever made by any country in the world. big progress being made." does the president have it right, there? >> he really does, blake. i can't say that i agree with everything that president trump does or says. on this issu
