canada. and in 2011, you started sending pickles to china.ell me about this. >> basically, the north carolina agriculture department and exporting department brought qualified buyers to north carolina. it was an inbound trade mission, and they sampled all north carolina goodness, and they fell in love with miss jenny's pickles, and we made a deal that day to export to china. >> what did you know about exporting to china, and how did you get any know how? i bet your pickles are great. but how would you know how to export to china? >> well, to be honest with you, we have fabulous resources, we're gifted in the state of north carolina to have tools between the north carolina agriculture and the southern united states trade association, they have been invaluable to us. as well as the ex fort-inport bank of the united states of america. >> let's talk about pickles and the demand for pickles. the u.s. creates $2 billion in pickles, and russians eat $22 billion in pickles a year, and germany eats $15 billion in pickles every year. so in fact, your m

it's a question of whether the oil goes by truck and maybe rail across canada and out to china and otherlaces or whether we transport it across our country and get the jobs associated with it, get the use of the oil associated with it. the oil is going to be produced. people who are against keystone because they think they're going to stop all of the oil are wrong. >> it's irrational. it is extraordinarily irrational. the question, mark halperin, we get back to minimum wage because there's breaking news on keystone as well. but when we get back to the minimum wage, for me it's so fascinating because blue collar republicans, a lot of them in pennsylvania who voted for rick santorum when he ran for senator the first time, they support the minimum wage increase. if you look at the polls, dig inside most polls, the republican party itself split down the middle on the minimum wage. but it doesn't break the way you would expect. a lot of tea party members supported increase of minimum wage. >> the republican party is laughably without prominent marketable ideas on helping the middle class and

canada this is worldwide. association. that is -- one of its kind throughout the world. only united states and china that want these association. this one that we form is only latino businesses, to all the world. we got members from africa, europe, asia, and of course, all america. >> what are you creating do you think? because this is kind of the springboard to to something big. what do you think you're creating? >> what we're creating is kind of having more kind of a strength and power to businesses. and also the growing of our latino community in the united states. is huge. and we have to pay attention to that. and we have to pay attention, also, how to do business with canada and mexico more than looking at as enemies or as another country. we have to look at the country as partners. >> as a story road business association you have to concentrate on the small businesses, and you're also thinking globally and how to expand those businesses to other countries. >> well this is the way i went -- i'm saying it. for example in mexico, in canada, they see how the world is globalizing in the small busin

it would start in northern china, go up through russia and connect through canada into the united statesore than 8,000 miles long that would be going from new york to los angeles nearly three times. it would also include an underwater tunnel stretching 125 miles. that's four times longer than the tunnel connecting england and france. david mackenzie in beijing begins our coverage of the story. when i first heard this, i said this is just absurd. but is this a real proposal or a publicity stunt? >>> you know, considering this was in state media and picked up a great deal here by official media and internationally, you know they're putting this out as a provocative statement, saying we can do this here in china, take a train all the way to anchorage on the other side of the earth. it speaks to what they want to say about their technical p prowess, but politically, you can't get a train into the u.s. from russia, that is a non-starter. but at the very least they're saying look at this kind of thing that we can achieve. >> and they can achieve. high speed trains in china are sort of embarras

russia and alaska to reach the us that would be to put it already has a nickname is called the china russia canada america lied the entire trip would take two days and the train would travel two hundred twenty miles per hour so that means effectively the feed to you could even get itself a train from say london to new york which is quite phenomenal. and russia and china are about to make history and this week i went on a river cruise and i spoke to pacific diplomats while i was taking in the historical sites of moscow and i was also saying why china is so appealing at the moment and in terms of russia china the gas still is coming up is now the time for a compromise on price between that. and this is how business is conducted here most i wrote a post at the moment but with sunshine you got food and drinks there's a guy going for a nice day d. this is the way to do it but you know you serious business is happening because we're delegates from the asia pacific region and they're all very excited because people are talking about the russia and china trade you know it will wait to two hundred seventy
