of course the actual trade pacts in the pacific and atlantic, could be back there. mr.elf, harry reid blocked it from president obama. president obama may be keen to compromise and push that through. >> we've been hearing trade pacts there could be a renewed push on them. we can't forget last year the debt ceiling debacle. republicans held out with that at the particular time with controlling just one house. now they've got both. you know could we see more of the same do you think? >> let's hope not. the general opinion amongst analysts and broader public that republicans were mostly to blame for shut down. it didn't work well for them. they may come out of this victory. that's the risk they overplay. one thing has changed. actually two things. political reality changed. they may consider they are much more held responsible to control congress in both chambers. secondly, economically, couple of years ago the u.s. had deficit of 10%. at the moment this year, it's said to come in 2.8% only there. that is less of issue now to redrum. of course presidential elections next y

we were strangers wants to and whether our for the others across the atlantic or the pacific we are here only because this country welcomed them and. it's more than our last names will look like or how we worship. what makes us american is the our shared commitment to an idea that all of us are created equal and all of us have a chance to make our lives what we will. that's the country that our parents and our grandparents and generations before them built for us. as that tradition we must uphold that tradition as a legacy for those that to come. thank you and god bless you and god bless this country that we love. >> pam: and you just listen to president obama as a dress live for his plan on immigration. >> pam: he's talking about creating an easier method for higher skilled immigrants to stay in the united states. those with more than five years in the united states it had kent to can pass a background check and pay taxes can stay in this country without fear of deportation. deportation. >> pam: retracting your because it was too expensive. as a professional dancer, i tend to beat up my

whether we crossed the atlantic or the pacific or the rio grande, we all share the hope that americabe the place where we can believe as we choose and pray as we choose and start a business without problems, where we can vote without fearing other things and that the law would be enforced equally for everybody. and that is what is at stake when we have conversations about immigration and about ferguson. so are we going to live up to those ideals? the ideals of who we are as a people as it falls upon all of us to hand down to our kids a country that lives up to that promise. where america is the place where we can make it if we try. so thank you, everybody. god bless you. god bless america. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [cheers] [applause] ♪ ♪ ♪ >> coming up next, live coverage. we have coverage on c-span and c-span.org. coming up next on c-span2, a discussion on government cronyism and discussion. >> here are a few of the comments that we have received from our viewers. >> i just have to tell you that to see these people in person and to hear them have the panel discussion or a congressional hearing, it i

world war ii, i want you to know that when we -- when the war clouds were brewing over the pacific and over the atlantic, we had a military force in 1940 of 140,000 people, 140,000. but in short order, after the draft was instituted and the japanese bombed pearl harbor we went to 16 million people, 16 million people that had to be trained, that had to have offices of that had to have -- officers, that had to have leaders and all of that. and the question that i was asked, i write about that because i was sincere in what i had to say that i learned an awful lot from the germans. not only did i learn a lot from them, but it was obvious they were an enemy and their purpose in being here was to kill us. and so it was either we killed them or they killed us. i would like to tell a story that kind of sticks in my craw when this story comes up. after i got back to wisconsin sometime after the war, i was invited to a grade school to tell what it was like to jump out of an airplane, what it meant and all of that. and so i did. and in talking about it, i said when i jumped in holland, i carried with me a thompson

midst of a big trade negotiation in the pacific and across the atlantic. trade investment talks. you still don't have fast-track negotiation authority. i don't think there has been any significant trade deal in u.s. history without fast-track. what are your chances of getting fast-track after the midterm? authority's,otion congressnism by which gives us the marching orders how to work with congress, and what process they would use to approve an agreement. the key thing is is that trade policy more than any other area of policy is one where the executive and congress needs to work closely together. we have been consulting with congress through these negotiations. we've had more than 1500 meetings with congress on tpp. congress has significant input into our negotiations. when in a cream and comes out they will be able to be comfortable with -- when an agreement comes out they will be comfortable with it. this has brought by bipartisan support. >> this is one area where the republicans are more in tune with the administration and democrats. are you secretly hoping for a republican
