lou: we do agree. what i find fascinating for the president to even contemplate one of these multi lateral agreements suggests somehow the globalists elites of wall street and the u.s. multi-nationals, all 150 of them who are just absolutely dependent upon the utility we call free trade which is ripping off america. >> the president regards himself as a free trader. and he believes strongly the reason to try to end these unfair and illegal trading practices is to get to the free trade. lou: the president regards himself as a fair trader. he called for balance and reciprocal trade. >> i have spoken to him many times. i am just reflect his own views. lou: this is the man hot pulled us out of tpp and just put forward tariffs -- >> if you just let me finish the statement. you and i have known each other forking a long time. now, all i'm saying is free trade can be very good fit is in fact free and fair. we have to. lou: there is no agreement that has been free. >> the whole history of the post-war period i
