so nafta has been very beneficial, i think for mexico. would agree it brought a lot of jobs to mexico it changed the political climate down there. it brought them nafta is being used as an example of why we shouldn't do the tpp. so tell me why are these trade agreements free trade agreements good for american workers. >> well let's talk first let's he explain what happened in nfta. >> jon: okay, how far back are we going. >> just to nafta rz jean chretien. >> o what happened after nafta was they had a total almost had a total collapse of their currency. i gave them a loan in 1995 which they paid back three years early and the taxpayers earned $570 million in interest. different did 560 million. >> jon: it was 560. >> yeah. >> jon: go ahead. >> they earned money. but as a result of that their economy is weak. plus they were one of our biggest oil suppliers before we were self-sufficient in oil. so we did have trade deficit there. and the analysis of all of our trade agreements with countries with lower per-capita incomes than we have shows

you go to ohio, i don't even bring up nafta, and they immediately went to nafta and said, bad deal forsting thing is, there are now some car companies talking about moving things to mexico and they're citing nafta, and i'm going to dig into that. by and large, open trade is good for us. >> you were a nafta guy. >> yes. it's part of our ability -- >> tough thing to be in ohio. >> well, chuck, we're not in this to get elected. we're in this to do the right thing. aren't you tired -- forget it, i'm not doing those calculations. now, here's what i do believe. i think that we have in some ways been saps. i have a friend that ran a steel company. i said do you think, koreans, for example, are dumping material and destroying our jobs? he said, yes. why don't we do something about it? he says, it takes two years to get a remedy, a solution. that is baloney. we need to have these decisions decided quickly because we can't have people coming in here dumping stuff and destroying our jobs in this country. that's where i grew up. i grew up with steel workers. what i would say to you is open trade,

the impact that nafta has had on mexico, or one... one of the impact it has had talent is massive dislocation of small farms in mexico. we knocked a lot of workers off of those farms into the cities and into very bad situations. second of all i will do that i am concerned and how aggressive china has been in moving all over the world. latin america is our neighbor. i am not, i support very strongly the president's initiative. in normalizing relations with cuba. i think it is a step forward. they -- to a significant degree we ignore those people who are closest to us. we do not have to tell anybody in this room that what we have seen in guatemala, or el salvador, and the time of -- the type of violence and mob rule we have seen her. that is something we have to address. we have to speak about our foreign policy. i voted against the war in iraq. i think history will show it was the correct vote. if you read some of my speeches at that point, what -- much of what i feared what happened did happen. >> msnbc. [indiscernible] reform group r

i remember these fights. >> not with the exception of nafta. we did nafta with reagan. we couldn't get it through. it took bill clinton to get it through. >> so if you, in the future want to give this rosy, rear view picture of the bill clinton economy, it would be helpful to at least contrast that with the modern democratic leadership and party and say these folks today aren't for any of these policies that bill clinton, where he signed the bills on spending cuts and tax cuts and all this stuff. >> forgive me, if i can, you're right, you're completely correct but in 1979 1980 there wasn't a damn democrat alive in favor of it either. you may not remember tip o'neill and jim wright, dan rostenkowski they're jokes now but they were not funny then. they were exactly the same as reid pelosi obama. if you look at today, don't think those democrats can not become us. they can. they will. they need our big tent. they don't need a closed tent. we need to accept them into our fold. once they get in they will do what al gore said to me, six months ago, best bill i ever voted for

many of you remember the return on nafta. it was nada. we traded away good manufacturing jobs in return getting back empty promises and empty pockets. i am fundamentally opposed as an american to secret trade deals that our congress is forced to vote on before we're even allowed to read them. your republican governor has shown us the direction their party would take us, cutting taxes for big corporations, and then telling you that iowa doesn't have the money to invest in your own children's education. welcome to today's republican party. they once had leaders and visionaries -- lincoln, eisenhower -- now they create traffic jams and dismiss science. and now the leading candidate for president is donald trump. after his racist, hate-filled comments, true story "the los angeles times" ran a headline, and i quote "republicans feel divided on donald trump's comments about mexican immigrants." divided? as in not sure he's wrong? if donald trump wants to run on a platform of demonizing immigrants, he should go back to the 1840's and run for the

now i voted when i first got into congress in 1991 against nafta. i voted against cafta. i voted against health trade relations with china and you're quite right i'm helping to lead the opposition against it. why? i have always believed and i think the facts bear me out because number one these trade agreements were essentially written by corporate americans by wall street or the pharmaceutical industry. they were not written with the goal of improving life for people in the united states of america. essentially what they were written to do was to say to large corporations okay, you do not have to pay workers in this country 15 20 25 bucks an hour. you can shut down an american move to china, you can move to vietnam you can move to mexico. you can pay people substantially lower wages and bring your products back into the country. i believe that was the intention of these key pieces of legislation i believe that's exactly what is happening. two things since 2001 we have lost almost 60,000 factories in american i'm not going to tell you all of that is attributable to trade

we did nafta with reagan. we just couldn't get it through. >> right. so if you, in the future want to give this rosy, rearview mirror picture of the bill clinton economy, it would be helpful to at least contrast that with the modern democratic leadership and party and say these folks today aren't for any of these policies of bill clinton where he signs the bills on spending cuts and tax cuts. >> forgive me if i can. you're right, you're completely correct. but in 1979 1980 there wasn't a [ expletive ] democrat alive that wasn't for it either. they're jokes now, but they weren't funny back then. they were the exact same as reed pelosi and obama. you know when you look at today, don't think that those kms cannot become us. they can. they will. they don't need a clothespin. we need to accept them into our fold and once they get in they'll do what al gourd said to me it's the best vote ever. go read what those guys wrote in that time and in that place and in that situation, what they said this would do. it makes steve and me la like left wingers. >> the re

i think a lot of us back in the '90s hope that nafta would've worked out better for us. but it didn't. and now to repeat that seems to be a repeat of the same mistake. what was the other one? wall street? >> action, you said that you were somebody who has not just talked but taken action. you said that before. and it seems with some of the things your staff is also saying it's a broadside against president clinton. >> i'm offering my candidacy and highlighting the things i've done. and i hope each of the candidates will highlight the things they've done. one of the things i've done is accomplish the values that the rest of the field is committed to. and i don't doubt their sincerity in being committed to it. but after having experienced and having gotten it down. that's a distinguishing characteristic i offer. >> are you happy with the reception you got? >> it was a -- >> we're going to talk to more iowans. thanks, guys. >> thank you. >> we still consider -- you still consider senator sanders just a protest candidate? >> i'm glad he was honored to be on the stage with al

and he's been talking about well nafta was not totally a good thing. gwen: we're waiting for it.o when you talk to these -- to former presidents, who seem to be friends now. actually. >> they do. gwen: even though they were not always. what do you come away with? this sense that they have more in common -- than you wrote your book? >> they did projects together and did speaking giggs together and share the scars of having done this difficult job together. and now they have this wild family predicament together. but they know each other's and make fun of each other and that was amusing. we asked them at the end, so th is a family business and is that a good thing? because it sure looks like it to us. and of course they both said no. >> of course. >> and they went on to say and their answer is basically, yes. it is a family business. gwen: and they said it was a family affair. >> yes. that's right. and or a calling. and clinton had a good answer. he said if you grow up and you watch your parents no matter what your parents do and you like it and it's interesting to you, you natural

. >> do you have in mind i voted against nafta for a number of reasons. if you look at the impact nafta has had it is massive dislocation to draw though workers off of those farms second, when i see how aggressive obviously latin america is our neighbor to the degree we have been reaching out with the president's initiative but there are two significant degrees and we work with them in intelligent ways i don't have to tell anybody in this room with the violence and mob rule something united states has to pay attention to. i voted against the war in iraq i think that was the right to vote much of what i feared would happen did happen with the destabilization. >> with that pro immigration reform 40 on entreprenuers with the headline that you are wrong that your statements are troubling as an obstacle to a tackle unemployment we think democrats can take jobs from americans? >> what their talk about is complete the opening up the border. so do we have a completely open borders so anybody can come? if that were to happen which strongly disagree, no question in

scarlet: you were a member of the nafta negotiating team.reece be out of the euro but still be a member of the european union in free-trade benefits? es.rles: y their only -- there are only 19 members in europe. there are countries with clear opt outs and other countries like bulgaria who have not qualified, have not met the convergence criteria. it's certainly possible that they could be members of the eu while not being members of the euro currency. scarlet: we talked about how the two sides know each other's positions quite well. at the same time, because they'd been going at this for months now, what has each side learned about the others pressure points? time is running out. angela merkel said it needs to be done in days, not weeks. charles: one can only hope that europeans have learned that they have to offer some light at the end of the tunnel for greece. some sympathy to the idea that greece needs a horizon to shoot at. for the greeks, they have appeals to sympathy were crushing us, some of the references to the europeans and very un

>> certainly to mexico that is a mistake, they are a nava partner -- nafta partner, trump hit a nervewhat he said about mexican immigrants is reprehensible. but there is a deep frustration, among conservatives, with city like san francisco, and where you are in new york with de blasio. making themselves sanctuary cities, and putting criminals to streets. so, you know, there have been situation that have been you know, made well-known, and as a consequence people see that, it creates frustration. barack obama with his immigration policy, and behavior of states like mine, maryland have made donald trump possible they created donald trump. charles: here is the thing, for me, i hope we can get more clarity, if we declare war against mexico or against china. i want -- he have cut really bad trade deals, i feel like mexico has a better end of that deal. how do we right these? and how do we stay part of the economic world is this idea? we're a small part of the world, and rest of world on fire. >> let's be clear. china is the problem. not mexico. mexico just is gee graphingly convent -- geo

they are responsible for nafta. they are responsible for taking away wealth.hree strikes, you are out. nafta, and wealthier -- welfare. those are the grassroots of the people. mrs. clinton you have to be very careful. you are supposed to want a woman , doesn't mean any woman. i come from a third world country. she reminds me too much of people in a banana republic of third world countries. she -- they are treating her like a queen. the only people that have tony in my country are royalties. mrs. clinton is paying people to hold signs out there for her like, what's his name. trumpeted. -- trump did. my mother was a politician. so many women are politicians. she almost got killed. instead of going out there and talking to people and really knowing people. she wants to mobilize. when she announced, africa is a continent. what have they done to black america that they are voting for her. what would she do in the south. i'm tired of lying. i did that here, i did that there. she was the governor's wife. she was the 2000 president's wife. i watched him for a long tim

i was just wondering, later, nafta came out but nafta is going to be the equivalent kind of of the europeanmon market? this is kind of but the question i'm trying to ask. host: we will let him respond. guest: in the wake of nafta, if we decided to double down on mutual is a should of economies and currencies and debt, you would have 19 nations in the western hemisphere, including canada and the u.s. and mexico and various latin american countries and many caribbean countries, enjoyed one currency? maybe a euro version of the dollar? that has never happened here. it is something that would be a very difficult pill to swallow from a sovereignty perspective. there is not all that much in common between these countries other than their position on the globe and the hemisphere. certainly, the canadian and u.s. economies are an extra complete linked. if one is derailed, the other one will go down. mexico, in large part, which has been driving evaluations and it's economy is heavily dependent on exports to the united states and remittances from mexican laborers in the united states, i cannot imagi

nafta has been very good to us. we are a transportation logistics hub.0 daily commercial trucks that cross our bridges. we have four bridges, two commercial. we have 26,000 daily noncommercial vehicles. we have of two railroads here and we have 1,200 daily rail crossings. it's a prosperous vibrant city. our unemployment rate hovers between 4.4% to 5% depending on the season. so we're active laredo is growing, and we're planning for future growth. mexico is very much part of our economy here. just laredo alone, just our bridges alone, and we do about 40% of all the mexican trade, and in our district the laredo district from brownsville to del rio, we do over 50% of the trade with mexico and that's $280 billion worth -- over a quarter trillion dollars of value in trade. so we're talking huge numbers. a lot of people depend on what happens here in laredo as far as tradewise because it all moves north. people coming from the south, mexico in particular, you know laredo is the entrance point and it's a huge entrance point to the rest of the nation and a lot o

you can see the big trucks behind us and we are now -- nafta has been very good to us. we're excited about that. we also have oil and gas production in our county and also provides a revenue to us. mr. trump has brought up certain issues. the immigration issue, in particular. we -- at least i feel particularly that immigration reform is needed. we need protection in the border area. we need to secure the border but we also need other elements. you know obviously the immigration to enact a bill. with that in mind it's a pleasure to have mr. trump, the excitement that he brings is also very -- on the plus side for our city and we appreciate all of the attention comes from this gentleman right here. thank you, mr. trump. >> thank you very much for being here. it's been an amazing experience. mexico is absolutely booming and jesus, the city manager and pete have done a great job here and the fact that mexico is doing so well it's just doing beyond -- beyond what anybody ever thought. and i don't know if that's good for the united states but it's good for mexico. anybody hav

we are -- nafta has been very good to us. we're excited about that. we also have oil and gas production in our county, and it also provides the revenues to us. mr. trump has brought up a certain issue the immigration issue in particular. we, at least i feel personally that immigration reform is required if needed. we need protection. and the border area. we need to secure the border. but we also need other elements. obviously the immigration act or bill. so, with that in mind, it's a pleasure to have mr. trump the excitement he brings is also very on the plus side for our city, and we appreciate all the attention but we know the attention comes through this gentleman here. mr. trump. thank you. >> thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> well, thank you very much for being here. it's been an amazing experience. mexico is booming absolutely booming, and jesus the city manager and pete have done an amazing job right here. but a lot of what is happening here is because of the fact that mexico is doing so well. it's just doing beyond what anybody ever tho

nafta. there are people who dispute bush lost to peraud.d got 20%. >> at this point a third party is not a path to the presidency. that would not be the choice i would choose if you actually want to be president. a third party is not going to do it. plus what would that third party stand for? >> would he do it for spite do you think, eric? >> i think he just said he wasn't going to do that. said let's see what happens with the republican nomination. by the way in your intro you kind of ad libbed around a little as well geraldo, you forgot to mention public policy poll has him number one in north carolina. the economist my gov has him number one nationally ranked now. he taps into the feeling of people who are sick of big government people who want change don't like the direction of the country. and they see him as someone who might be able to bring that change where some of the others that are running against him may not have that. will he flame out as everyone seems to think he's going to do? i don't know. >> the third party you think is a

we remember the story of candidate barack obama talking about renegotiating nafta and then goolsbee heading to canada to say, don't take it too seriously. >> good point. >> with that said there's nothing as radioactive in the republican party than the issue of immigration. people really need to understand this. i think they don't. it is like why is this happening with trump and all of this stuff why this issue? you have to understand how viscerally -- that is george bush too, in 2005 he had a big problem with this because they were trying to push immigration reform and there was backlash that went unnoticed in the mainstream press towards george bush. look here's the problem fundamentally the republicans have and it's best illustrated by that famous moment that michele bachmann had a dual production of her response to barack obama's, president obama's state of the union address a couple of years back. where she is talking in to one camera and there's another camera going to the rest of america. one was a simultaneous for the tea party and one for the rest of the country. >> that's right. >>

nafta has been very good to us. we're excited about that. we also have oil and gas production in our county and also provides a revenue to us. and mr. trump has brought up certain issues. the immigration issue in particular. we, at least i feel personally that immigration reform is needed. we need protection in the border area. we need to secure the border. but we also need other elements. you know obviously, the immigration act or bill. with that in mind, it's a pleasure to have mr. trump the excitement that he brings is also very on the plus side for our city and we appreciate all of the attention. but we know it comes primarily through this gentleman here. >> thank you. well, thank you very much for being here. it's been an amazing experience. mexico is booming absolutely booming and the city manager and pete have done an amazing job right here. but a lot of what's happening here is because of the fact that mexico is doing so well. it's just doing beyond -- beyond what anybody ever thought. and i don't know if that's good for the united s

still trigger catastrophic change it is the creation and we see it, these trade deals which are just nafta on steroids weakening the power of the government to curb or halt corporate exploitation, and all of that means that the only mechanism left by which we can save ourselves and save our children is to begin to carry out acts of massively disobedience and that requires taking to the streets. i cover the revolutions in eastern europe, east germany czechoslovakia romania, and i watch day after day hundreds of thousands, 500,000 people in alexander platz. half a million people in the square in prague, and i was every night in czechoslovakia and the magic lantern theater and hovel was a kind of model of what it means to be a disdidn't dissident. what it means to rebel. he had begun with charter 77, in 1977 -- in 1978, writing his great essay the power of the powerless, calling upon to us live in truth to not by living in truth exposing the system for what it was. and that of course is the great terror of the system. that it is exposed for the predatory creature that it has become. and hobbl

tax and spending policies which you mentioned with the exception of nafta. fights. >> now with the exception of nafta. we did it with reagan. we just cannot get it through. >> if you and the future want to give this rosie rearview picture of the bill clinton economy, it would be helpful to at least contrast that with the modern democratic leadership in party and say these folks today are not for any of these policies the bill clinton where he sighs the bills on spending cuts and tax cuts are all the stuff. >> forgive me. you are right, completely correct but 19791980 it was not a democrat alive i was in favor. you may not remember tip o'neill and jim wright. they are jokes now, but they were not funny back then. they were the exact same as read, pelosi, obama. when you look today don't think those democrats cannot become us. they can and will. they need a big tent, tent, not a closed end. we need to accept them into the fold. once they get in it will do what our core said to me six months ago. the best bill i ever voted for 20 years of prosperity. he loves h

we've had robust trade politics here really since nafta. so more than 20 years without a robust debate around trade. trade agreements trade bills have always pass congress largely with republican support and a critical mass of democrats. last week's votes were no different in that regard. i think certainly given a lot to give him over the last few years, the financial crisis, impact of globalization over the last 20 years it certainly has sensitized people a great deal to the concerns that have been raised but it's also underscored that would live in a global economy. we can't afford not to show leadership. we can't afford not to be engaged and let somebody else define the rules of the road in a way that might lead to a race to the bottom. we can't afford not just trade agreement toshiba globalization. we can sit back and note the impact globalization at all across, or we can be proactive and raising standards around the world and strengthening labor standards, strengthening environmental protection, putting a disciplined on state-owned ent

we have a number of higher ed organizations like nafta and acpa they also work with the membership to educate them but also to garner their support around some of these issues. >> can you comment on the lobbying in albany? are the higher education associations and lobbyists in albany helping you? helping groups on this issue? steve: i don't know about the higher education associations. i think that the dream act coalition is a whole other story in itself about the coalition policy and the different forces who are for the dream act and against the dream act and prison report but are actually against the. i could talk for hours about that. [laughter] what i would say though is that it is important to have institutions weigh in. it is important for the catholic church to be able to weigh in. it is important for cutie to weigh in. it is appointed for the business community to weigh in and it is important for an way to weigh in. i absolutely think so. it is hard -- i think it is important for them to weigh in and the real question is thinking through, what kind of leverage do we have on th

this could be clinton passing welfare reform and nafta. >> i think absolutely the country is ready for change. there will be a lot of kivging and screaming especially from the radical left wings. even communists are a bit milder in the criticism. they haven't been that vociferous in the past few weeks but the citizens of the left governing party is probably going to split away from mr. tsipras. >> what about the vested interest? the accountants, doctors, engineers, everybody else and their mother who's got vested interest to protect and will be at first hurt by this? >> a lot of legislation is going to be rammed in to them. they won't have much of a chance to actually have time to go piecemeal and resist. things are going to happen very very fast. the country needs to be reformed. there's no reason anymore for anybody to have privilege in a country that's quasi sunk and very dysfunctional. i think when the prime minister who was a hard core leftist says enough is enough we need to change and all the conservative reformist party say we will support you, i think we will move in the right

many of you remember the return on nafta. it was nada. we traded away good manufacturing jobs in towns and in return we got back empty promises and empty pockets. i'm fundamentally opposed to secret trade deals that our congress is forced to vote on before we're even allowed to read them. your republican governor terry branstad has shown us the direction their party would take us cutting taxes for big corporations and then telling you that iowa doesn't have the money to invest in your own children's education. well welcome to today's republican party. they once had leaders and visionaries. lincoln, eisenhower, now they create traffic jams and dismiss science. and now the leading candidate for president is donald trump. after his racist, hate-filled comments, "the los angeles times" ran a headline, and i quote, republican field divided on donald trump's comments on mexican immigrants. divided, as in not sure he's wrong? if donald trump wants to run on a platform of demonizing immigrants, he should go back to the 1840s and run for the presi

this is going to have to be a much better agreement than the so-called nafta agreements in the '90s. this notion of content, domestic content, that's part of what a trade agreement ought to be looking at. at the end of the day, where america is going to be add the most value, we're going to add the most value around high skilled jobs, around jobs that are created from intellectual product, advanced manufacturing. some of the assembly jobs kind of on the low end, lower end of the scale, probably will be done elsewhere. but if we can dot basic research, the kind of advanced manufacturing components and as -- we see other industrial nations do this, germany has maintained a strong advanced manufacturing sector, if we can have that and sell those materials to countries all over the world, people want to buy our goods, that's going to be net good for american jobs. one of the reasons i supported the trade votes last week or two weeks ago i guess it was. >> to william in virginia. democrat. hi, william. >> caller: good morning. how are you? >> good morning. >> good morning. >> caller: sena
