that people in the markets are bit more confident you know the chief of the german american chamber of commerce we just heard about the relationship between at least europe and the united states with the democrats coming to coming back into power in the house of representatives hopes are rising here that you know the tone between the americans and at least the europeans might become a bit more conciliatory and also people here are continuously confident about the u.s. economy the democrats in the house will do nothing to really muffle or significantly slow down the economy in the u.s. on the contrary it's likely that they will seek some sort of cooperation with the trump administration at least in some fields like. infrastructure bill not a big one like trump has promised but at still something to keep the economy in the u.s. going what about u.s. government debt something the americans never seem worried about. that's true but people in the financial markets have been quite worried about reckless way that the administration has you know done policies likely to increase the budget deficit in th

he is a chamber of commerce whatever is good for the chamber of commerce is good for him. i honestly believe that he has toked behind the scenes continue to let the flow of immigrants into this country. host: who would you have liked to see be speaker for republicans? caller: now? host: well they are not going to now, in the next congress. who would you have liked to see instead of paul ryan win john boehner stepped down -- when john boehner stepped down? caller: it is hard to say. i like medals. i like the guy that just lost to mccarthy. host: jim jordan. caller: jim jordan. we are talking about conservative guys. that 1995 paul ryan, that was a great guy back then. i promise you this man is no more than a moderate, there is nothing conservative about him. he knows it. -- you can tell he conservatives and the republican party in the back. we are talking about two very different notions of conservatism and this gets at the fault lines in the party and the difference between what it means to be a paul ryan republican and a donald trump republican. paul ryan kind of is a cha

las vegas metro chamber of commerce is one of the first in. then of the chambers in nevada jump in, lubbock, texas, just went online with their association health plan. just yesterday we saw a group of chambers of commerce in north texas that are offering association health plan. and even the national association of realtors, 1.3 million realtors is looking at an association health plan. >> how do you all respond to that big criticism that what would be offered under this plans is not acceptable, doesn't meet the federal requirements, maybe things like mental health or pregnancy even may not be covered? >> unfortunately, we think the rhetoric about that is part of fake news. we actually believe that secretary acosta crafted the association health plan rule in a way that makes sure all the protections under the affordable care act extend to the association health plan. he's very careful in writing it that way, and so the discussion about skimpy plans, pre-existing conditions, all those things your we think those are not accurate and also believe

chamber of commerce trying to take out a kansas congressman. often tell folks at home if one man can't make a difference why were they so worried about one man but i played a role in john boehner retiring early, so train me up for john boehner retiring at probably a good trade and minds of most conservatives and libertarians. >> how did you feel at the time and how do you feel about it today? >> i was disappointed there's big money plays a big role in politics because it is huge power in washington, d.c. always disappointed in that. but i was member of the house freedom caucus they thought establishment thought if they could take out the camp and others that somehow the the house freedom caucus and jim jour den and mark meadows would go away and that, obviously, didn't happen and they're big player in washington promoting i think what qerntive and libertarians are looking for out of our -- federal government. and they made great progress. >> now congress when was the patriot tool put out how many editions been out for quite a while. >> i think

this is probably the deal for it however you move away from the politicians you get into the chamber of commerce here in china many the head of the chamber of commerce's is less than impressed there they're more giving it more of a wait and see approach the same goes from the. well the leaders of the insurance insurers association here in germany they're giving it as well that more but wait and see approach the reason that giving that wait and see approach is it's ten days until the twenty fifth of november a lot can happen between now and then particularly if if to resume a was to replace dominic rob he stepped down as break that secretary with michael gove now michael gove we hear there's apparently said he would quite fun see the job only if he was allowed to go back to brussels and renegotiate and that summit on the twenty fifth was council now that would not go down very well at all with people here on the continent if you think people are sick of breaks that in britain the certainly sick of brigs it here in europe and the idea that this would be trundling on for longer well that would star

conference between two countries that are eye each other suspiciously in berlin the american chamber of commerce held its annual conference on friday and as yes for the dollar has had german carmakers and their u.s. exports in the crosshairs there was plenty of demand for discussed and were a meeting of religion. and perhaps a location was chosen to urge the participants to rise above the economic strife dominating trade with the u.s. at least that's what people here at the american chamber of commerce's annual conference are out to do. but how should business leaders react to the new free trade agreements or the america first policy. history shows the free trade and economic openness are in all of our best interest i don't know of any other policy or economic philosophy short of capitalism itself that is done more for more people than free trade trade you know broad ideas around the world that brought innovation that allowed cultures to flourish that's no different today where trade goes prosperity in peace generally fall and it's something that we can't give up. those encouraging words can't m

my very first trip experience was with the chamber of commerce in germany. and building the new department, with a new team of this organisation, to grow tech companies here in dubai. right now, we have the team within the organisation who promote dubai to be an attractive place for tech ventures around the world and here. why would someone start a company in dubai? what are the advantages, what are the business opportunities here in dubai? they have more infrastructure here, and many other places in the middle east. that is the basis of why we are here. we knew that we would possibly get the support of the government, because dubai is all about innovation and getting the best of everything, so we knew that with that kind of energy and voice, they are constantly speaking about wanting to be the best, the best product, the best for entrepreneurs, the best buildings, the best service, we knew that if we brought it here, we felt that we would get the support of the dubai government, because that is their vision as well. dubai is doing a good job of being entrep

i'm with the san francisco chamber of commerce. this may be my last opportunity to speak before you. don't applaud, supervisor. [laughter] >> i'm leaving the chamber at the end of the year to work in a prior job with senator feinstein i have worked on numerous environmental ordinances with this board over the 13 years i have been at the chamber. i don't think there has been one that we did not reach agreement with the authors and the board of supervisors. i don't think there is one who did not pass the board 11-0. that should be the case as well. whether we're talking about the original zero waste ordinance or about banning styrofoam, banning plastic bags, and banning all bags, and banning small plastic items and straws, we reached agreement every time and i think every one of those ordinances past 11-0. they should not be a dispute here. we all have the same goal. but we have a problem with the penalty levels. the process and steps that really should be there that aren't in this ordinance to have a graduated penalty. jack macy is a

we asked the head of the american chamber of commerce in germany frank sport allowed what the election results mean for german american trite. we on the one hand have to fear that the democrats and republicans will not be able to work together at all that would mean no legislation of any type being passed we also have to be a little bit concerned that the democrats might use some of the control they gain in the house to launch a lot of investigations which maybe may have merit in some way but which certainly would distract the country from what it needs to do. on the other hand president trump has shown that he is willing and able to use his executive authority to do things basically the trade actions that he's doing are based for the most part on executive authority so i don't see least not initially a major shift in the trade situation unfortunately by the way let's get the word from god i believe in our financial correspondent in frankfurt the head of the american chamber of commerce in germany they're selling very skeptical about the political gridlock in u.s. politics the market r

he was advised by you know all of establishment hangers on, the chamber of commerce, you know koch brothers, little friends. all and all ryan of course, insisting that he talk about tax cuts, and to stay away from immigration. your thoughts? >> i think it good to talk about tax cuts, but it was not donald trump who started this surge of people running north and in big caravans, that is not his doing, that was thrust upon him. but now prescribing policies that will push it back. you know let's call it what it is, this is human trafficking, i thought we were opposed to, that people who say they want a better life, a job to be with friends and family, they are very nice. but it does not nea meet standaf credible fir fear need for propy assigned asylum seeker, president is doing the right thing. lou: no question. real issue is why paul ryan, rino, koch brothers, and business interests, chamber of commerce, business round table aligned them with radical left wingers and radical dimms insist on open borders and amnesty. we are approaching 30 million illegal immigrants this year. it is preposterou

when it comes to international investment that said a recent survey conducted by the european chamber of commerce said that around the halls of european companies operating in china over the past year say that it's only become more difficult what do you say to them well actually if you look. when the policy since four decades ago. is the more and more open you up. this is the long trend i do not deny maybe one of the particular problems but. you've got a child of four interested in growing. roughly fifteen percent a year for four decades a large they both imports and exports. small tain yes let me look at your investment we do talk about you know european investors say that there have been increasing barriers you often refer to as a key influence or. i'm wondering when you go back to beijing where you perhaps be recommending that he remove some of these economic barriers which make it difficult for european business is operating actually each other just as the number of new policies is which are particularly good for foreign best in couldn't germany best that's why you have say you have to expend

head of the german iranian chamber of commerce in hamburg what support they're actually getting . well it is the real disappointing part and the disappointing news off this day a lot of regions and countries so looking at china looking at russia they managed to get waivers for their major trading productive and they can continue to trade specially oil with iran the e.u. gave a lot of strong political statements they were talking about blocking sanctions they were toy king about a special vehicle for financial transactions we were on and nothing came at least up to today i can tell you none of our member companies has one practical step forward one practical support from the e.u. work from our ministries in in berlin that you show was practically nothing to support the iran deal let's go over now to our financial correspondent frank conrad burns and to find out more about the monetary effects of this story and the effects on the oil price conrad. yes there was no immediate effect on the oil price today on the contrary the prize for american crude even continued its decline which mea

chris southworth is secretary—general of the international chambers of commerce, which calls itself theganisation — representing 6.5 million companies in 136 countries. good morning. good morning. give us your reaction? businesses will be cautiously optimistic. the most important thing for international companies is the relationship between the uk and europe needs to between the uk and europe needs to be as close as possible. 0ver between the uk and europe needs to be as close as possible. over the 21 month transition period is as close as we can get. not a lot of change particularly in border and customs. that transition period is set to happen and it will remain in place until the end of 2020 but what happens after that, the next phase of exiting the eu, what make about that? we know the big question is still unanswered. the fact that we can do free—trade deals but we also know that 20 countries have read it rejected the uk applications to roll over its eu terms so that will not happen and we have had clear signals from markets like the us that they will not accept the uk trading on e

on with the san francisco chamber of commerce. the chamber of commerce continues to have concerns about the amended version of the legislation. the large refuse generator list has been made public recently picket was made public at the last hearing and then last week with the holiday week, i maintained that most folks on the list don't even know they are on the list. they don't know anything about the list. they are not familiar with the legislation. they didn't know about the hearing today, we would like to know how the list was compiled. and what outreach has been done to those folks. there are 430 or something folks on the list. we think the legislation should be slowed down until this 400 people can be contacted, made aware of the legislation of their presence on the list, why they are on the list and of the legislation so they can weigh in and appear at a hearing if they choose to. the department of the environment has identified 32 bad actors. there is 400 and something businesses on this list. i'm asking why is that? it is l

hispanic chamber of commerce. sked this question may be because it's voting day. i was wondering if anyone on the paddle had information about the political affiliation of mexican immigrants in the united states that have been naturalized, or which policy issues are most motivating to those community of migrants? >> and some of our work we've done we looked at the political affiliations of mexicans and mexican immigrants. very strongly that he identify with what they're leaning toward the democratic party. one of the big drivers of that general statistic for the hispanic population overall and they are one of the more strongly leaning democratic party groups. when it comes to policy issues the issues they pointed to our economics, healthcare, education, immigration too is an issue, more so than for the general. [singing] public but because mexicans and mexican immigrants are such a large part of the population they are driving the results generally for the hispanic population. this year though i will say that the o

in oklahoma, chambers of commerce at the state and local level are working with some of the smallest businesses around to form association health plans and allow these talented individuals to keep doing what they really want to do, innovating and creating jobs only they'll be able to create. even farmers in minnesota and nebraska are finding ways to come together for better bargaining power that puts people and their health care choices first. association health plans put people in charge. they empower small businesses to offer the same benefits that large companies can provide and allow employees to choose coverage options that work best for them. at the education and work force committee, we have been proud to do our part to bring about this sustainable health care solution for millions of americans. i welcome the news and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back. the chair recognizes the gentleman from kansas, mr. marshall, for five minutes. thank you, mr. speaker. november is prematurity awareness month and as the number of preterm births continues to ris

the schools, to the local charities, to other social and civic organizations, to the local chambers of commercea whole range of ways in which i think they share interests, and they share expectations about outcomes and working together by creating an event, creating a special night, by creating special themes around certain times of the year especially during the holiday season, those are all advantages and that collective power, collective engagement is something that can't be replicated by anyone else and something they share with one another and i think that will engage consumers and bring them out this year. >> is it worth it for small businesses to have some messaging around, you shop here, this helps your community? or when people are out shopping they think, i don't actually care. i jut need to go get a gift for grandma? >> certainly that latter parse is true. the data and survey work we've seen demonstrates the local message resonates. people care are conscious of it, aware, sensitive to it and want to be engaged locally, support local businesses. i think making that a point when you en

chamber of commerce for a discussion on defense and aerospace exports. this is live coverage on c-span 3. >> dr. navarro, thank you. >> and thank you so much, keith. you are really a true leader at the aerospace council here. this is a really important mission for the chamber and it's really synchronicity with the trump administration in that we see the virtue of commerce in the defense industrial base, not just for defense, but also for economic prosperity and security. so give him a hand, please, if you would. he works hard for the money.

. >> good afternoon, judy workman, representing the san francisco chamber of commerce. first of all, thank you supervisor safai for continuing to amend this legislation. we feel some degree it's going in the right direction but have serious concerns about certain aspects of it. i keep hearing small businesses will not have to comply because the definition is from 30 yards to 40, my understanding it's not true in all cases. many concerns of many restaurants having to comply with that ordinance and so i -- i just caution you not to just assume that small businesses won't have to comply, i think some still will. we have concerns about the requirement to hire 0 waste facilitators, does not sound like it has changed at all. i'm confused about the motion of discretion, i don't know what that means. because the legislation is still, the way it's written it's very clear. if you fail an audit, you hire a waste facilitator for 24 months. that has not changed. and i think there are going to be small businesses and nonprofits simply not able to hire, to hire somebody exclusively to

william garrett from the american chamber of commerce saying that if we see a renaissance of reform, at could help close the divide between washington and beijing. also a segment from the european chamber of commerce saying the reforms were overly timid. they acknowledged the europeans were optimistic around comments that president xi has made in terms of reforming the world trade organization in terms of speeding up a deal between the europeans and chinese. they want is the implementation at a faster pace. the chinese are still essentially betting that the size of their consumer market will be compelling enough to push back against some concerns that are boiling up under the surface. they are front and center in washington and brussels. president xi has said he is going to wrap up imports the chinese market. the fact that you have the like of facebook and google in this hall, two companies that are banned in china, reinforces to many of chinese policymakers in the halls of power that their consumer market is enough to compel these companies to keep coming here. david: you would be ha
