many of us view it as a chance to help bring nafta into the 21st century. the three are very much on the u.s. agenda. it shows great forward progress. welcome all of you to what promises to be a truly fascinating session. be second reason this will terrific is because of our panelists. i will say little bit more about the ambassador of mexico. doris meissner, who i served with in the clinton administration. she is one of our great experts. also, ted. our series of speakers today, we will have first ambassador medina mora, then we will have a conversation including members of the audience. we have folks on the web able to send in questions, also. think hard and maybe someone in the room will ask the question. our first speaker is very excited. he has just arrived in washington. he is immediately planning a presidential visit. that is fast work. he arrived here with a perfect background for dealing with u.s.-mexican relations. a longtime government servant on the mexico side, he participated in issues and spent 10 years in one of mexico's leading private-sect

but he was, you're right, but then he supported nafta against israel, britain and france -- nasa. >> [inaudible] >> yes, it was. anyone else? >> first of all i want to commend you for a very fascinating book. i enjoyed the parts about a read, and i don't want to comment on the first president you mentioned, mr. washington, because i was much too young then. [laughter] but i would like to bring us back to what this young lady was talking about, and i agree with her 100% about mr. roosevelt. in my own case i know that my mother and father, when they learned of mr. roosevelt's death, almost sat sugar, which greens, you know, commemorating the dead by spending seven days. he had an influence over the jewish people that to this day has never been corrected, frankly. the argument about mr. boswell, the many authors have written about him is that it's true he didn't do much to save the jews. but he did more than anybody else. >> right. >> and that's ridiculous because everybody else did zero. [applause] and mr. roosevelt did very, very little, aside from the st. louis, which was, incidental

you were part of the clinton administration and left in 1993 when clinton pushed nafta through. like gephardt were against the white house. when it came time for the 2000 campaign gephardt looked up, john kerry looked up and all said there's too much money, too many endorsements on gore's side. >> and gore would have been a much better candidate if he had been exposed to that kind of debate all over the country with serious opposition. he had trouble with especially white male workers in the midwest who thought of nafta as a product of the democratic party. so that whole debate within the democratic party didn't happen. we're in a similar situation right now where, you know, we have a president who is cutting social security benefits in part of a deal he's trying to get. we have a question of whether the bankers will run the country or not. whether banks are too big to tail. we haven't addressed that. hilary will have to get out there and talk to the democratic base which is mobilizing now around things like jobs, around things like anti-austerity, against the banks and for the

among the blue chips touched nafta and bruce hydro outperformed the market by far putting on eight and nine percent respectively now businesses in germany europe strongest economy are quite pessimistic about their future leaders business confidence data released on tuesday shows a bigger than expected drop and that's despite a relatively stable job market and pretty low inflation let's hear the details from business or teasing katie being. german business confidence did indeed contract for a second consecutive month in april and this is bad news for the economy held as the powerhouse of the region of course the biggest economy in europe now these figures were based on seven thousand companies and it really demonstrates that confidence is evidently going down now why a lot of this is to do with external factors as well of course you got stalling growth in china a political stalemate in italy recently as well as the default pull in cyprus none of this has helped the tool of really businesses in germany a wondering where is this growth going to come from right now also want to mention tha

could be the super, energy superpower of the world and think about that at that 2.0 and that at that nafta. >> that is a big idea and that is something the united states could focus on .. >> rose: how does the president lead that idea? >> i hope one thing he initiated which is this new u.s. european new trade agreement, why not make canada and mexico part of it and not make it a north america-eu trade agreement, it is hard to say what is made in canada as opposed to in the u.s. because of the so-called supply chains, like probably something that is sold here might be 40 percent of the content comes from mexico, so increasingly we are going to have to think of ourselves as an integrated economic zone but given what is going on with energy and lawyer and immigration reform i would take, if i were advising the president i would say big north america initiative, continue your pivot to asia, be wary of the getting more involved in the middlmiddle east than you have . >> rose: but what role would you play in the israeli-palestinian issues? >> years ago i wrote a different book about the idea of

now a big part of the fedex portfolio, because we believe there's be a lot of near shoring and the nafta trades will be quite strong. >> yeah, i am loving this mexico story. you're investing in mexico as well, really interesting. fred, let me get your take on the tragedy in boston yesterday. security issues playing a big part. it's what fedex does. can you talk us through how you screen packages, you know, as much as you can tell us, and if you go on heightened aid letter after something like that? is it business as usual or not? >> well, i would say this much, maria, we try to stay on heightened aid letter 24/7. we have a very large, sophisticated security force around the world, mostly composed of former law enforcement government people, atf, dea, special people with special skills. we use a tremendous amount of analytics, and we train our team members and we use a lot of diagnostic equipment. as you know, a couple of years ago, fedex and u.p.s. aircraft were the targets of terrorists trying to send explosive devices on our airplanes. fortunately, they were interept septembered. so it

in the case of nafta, you ought to consider that a good thing. years, butack 20 anyway, mexico had tariffs of maybe 25% corpof our products going into mexico and we only had a 5% tariff on mexican products coming year. if you have equal terrorists on both sides of the border if, it has to be a win-win for the u.s. he's talking about manufacturing going to mexico, in the last 25 years, it has changed where manufacturing has gone to china and china has developed their middle-class to such an extent that china is outsourcing manufacturing jobs and china is becoming a platform for assembly. is where everf it you can find cheaper labor, whether its chinese manufacturing, mexican manufacturing, or anything, you will be able to compete or you will be out of business. china is developing a middle- class. they are just like japan. japan used to take shipbuilding away from the u.s. south korea took it away from japan. china took it away from south korea. now it's going someplace else, because there's always somebody willing to work cheaper. the countries t

the same people that supported nafta, you know, i talked about gun control, running against people formary but certainly not the general election. >> i agree. i share your view on joe manchin totally. >> so interesting. >> you know something, interesting his partner, pat toomey. pat toomey is very conservative, republican from pennsylvania, looking at chester and montgomery and delaware counties there, bucks county. those are the big philadelphia suburban counties and you know something? they're not going to cotton to somebody who votes for guns. for all the middle, that's there but those are the big volt-rich counties and that's what pat toomey is calculating. >> really much more democratic. >> but a republican wins when they do well there. >> whatever, willie geist, any time we've been talking about criminal background checks, you have people saying there they go again. they want to shred the constitution, start a national gun registry. well, if that were the case, and if somebody used that against pat toomey, pat could say, well, then why was wayne laperriere for it in 1999? >> righ

i represented areas in massachusetts during nafta where i saw entire industry is shut down overnight. palma river was in my district and all the textile companies left. so we had american workers that were left high and dry, and then you had a mexican workers that weren't really benefiting because they weren't getting paid what they should get paid. the european union is a different group altogether. i have to look at the details before i could get an answer, but i just -- you know, my focus is on workers' rights and making sure that workers have an opportunity to be given during a living. >> of the members of the coalition to stop gun violence and we have an ad hoc committee to address this issue and we've all worked pretty hard over the last three months after new town. they expect as early on both in negotiated package and reported out of the judiciary committee. they are circulating its own version of the legislation today. obviously we are disheartened of three months have happened we're going to work our damnedest next week on going ahead with everything including the large capa

the specific probably were talking about there after nafta there was a surge in american corn exports to mexico and reproduce corn on these giant mechanized farms and reproduce it a lot cheaper than mexican peasant farmers using hand tools etc. etc. so you lower the price of corn. it's cheaper food which is presumably a good thing that makes it impossible for people who stand business to do this. they can't go and make silicon shirts overnight which is kind of part of the myth of free trade economics and free market economics is that if you destroy jobs and replace them they will just disappear. when you have people with little education with very fixed circumstances, if you take their livelihood away they don't have a lot of options. sure there are a lot of rob rooms with free trade and what it can do for third world countries. one issue, a big issue is when you have weak property rights if you have somebody who is a farmer and one of the defining characteristics of third world countries is of course the majority of the population are closed within their assistance farmers. they don'

into thebring nafta 21st century. much on thee very u.s. agenda. it shows great forward progress. welcome all of you to what promises to be a truly fascinating session. the second reason this will be terrific is because of our panelists. i will say little bit more about the ambassador of mexico. meissner, who i served with in the clinton administration. she is one of our great experts. ted. , weseries of speakers today will have first ambassador medina mora, then we will have a conversation including members of the audience. we have folks on the web able to send in questions, also. maybe someone in the room will ask the question. our first speaker is very excited. he has just arrived in washington. a is immediately planning presidential visit. that is fast work. he arrived here with a perfect background for dealing with u.s.-mexican relations. a longtime government servant on the mexico side, he participated years in and spent 10 one of mexico's leading private- sector companies. since then, he has held a series of government jobs that really speak of experience. secretary of publ

i represent areas in massachusetts during nafta, where i saw entire industries shut down overnight.paul berger was in my district. other textile company/. say that american workers left high and dry and mexican workers that were benefiting because you were getting paid what they should get paid. the european union is a different group altogether. i want to look at the details before i give you an answer, but my focus is on worker rights and making sure the workers have an opportunity to earn a living. >> the wmd to stop gun violence. we have an ad hoc to discuss this issue. if all were hard after newtown. the senate expects as early as next week to hold votes on either a negotiated pact -- worried though that started then reported on the judiciary judiciary committee. the nra has a sound version today and obviously we are hard nothing happened. we are going to work are next week. everything including a senator. i hear so often from members of the ad hoc committee, and chairman of it, why are we wasting our time? it doesn't matter because the house is going to do nothing. i really do

it's even worse than nafta.and one of the main precepts is that corporations will not have to follow the laws of the country in which they're doing business, and it being negotiated behind closed doors with many different countries, in the asia, east area, and even our legislators aren't even knowing what is going on. i have written several times to my senator and representatives to see if they can get a copy of that for me. some was leaked on the public citizen web site -- >> host: beth, let's get a response from our guest. >> guest: well, public citizen is very important source of information on these so-called free trade agreements, which are often nothing more than corporate managed trade. they're not about free trade. and it's important that we just discuss this and not only democracy now but all of the media, who benefits and who doesn't. >> guest: and we will certainly do more on that. >> host: on the facebook page, we have this comment: amy, what is your view of ron paul and the libertarian approach to s

on nafta, the multinational corporations and give millions of our jobs away to mexico.n fishing rights, i'm at the fisherman coming here but the fish. on the banking issues, i'm with the taxpayers and the people of america. here what the banks of the bailout. on all these issues in telecommunications. markey: i did. i sided with iraq obama. i sided with ernie frank on ensuring the entire economy did not collapse. the bush administration for eight years had turned a blind eye to the fact a casino had been set up on wall street that was now leading to the collapse of our economy in 2008. i did not support any of the bush administration era the answer regulation policies. when the thread was the system is going to collapse and heard every family in america, i did so to protect our financial system from collapsing and you did not. in addition of telecommunications, yes, it was my cable monopolies that led to a broadband revolution beginning in 1996 that is created millions of jobs in the united states of america, including tens of thousands here in the massachusetts economy

i represented areas in massachusetts during nafta where i saw the entire industry is shut down overnight. all of the textile companies left. so you had american workers that were left high and dry and then you had mexican workers that weren't benefiting because you were not getting paid what you should get paid. the european union is a different group altogether. but i need to look at the details before i give you an answer. my focus is on worker rights and making sure they have an opportunity. >> a member of the coalition to stop gun violence to address this issue and i must say we've worked hard over the last three months. the senate expects as early as next week to hold votes on either a negotiated package or a bill that's already been reported out of the judiciary committee. the nra is circulating its own version today. you are heartened that nothing happened we are going to work our damnedest next week. the president has with everything including banning large magazines, assault weapons, etc.. but i hear so often from the members of my committee and the chairman of it and other peop
