nafta was signed by bill clinton. nafta has been a catastrophe. an absolute catastrophe for our

it's called nafta. he signed it and nafta has -- it has drained our country of jobs, it's drained us of manufacturing. you look at indiana, you look at all of these companies that have left. i mean, take a look what's going on with it and it's still to this day just a disaster for the united states. that was a bill -- take a look at new england, the factories there drained of their jobs and their people. and we're going to turn it around. no, the last thing we need now again is the mess we had before with bill clinton and hillary. >> donald trump, i know you always say that america has got to take on china and one of t the -- the president of the united states -- there's an editorial out today, urging the american senate to take up the tpp because china is forming their own regional comprehensive partnership with 13 other nations that includes australia. he said tpp must go forward. to make sure that america isn't holding the bag, but holding the pen. what's your reaction to our tpp that would take on c

anti-nafta was terrible. and who approved nafta? kasich approved nafta.roved nafta when he was a congressman. one of the deciding votes. so here's what happened. when bobby went into that arena, and it was a big arena, it was incredible. people are screaming, crying. they love bobby. he won 900 games. he won three world championships. college championships. he won the olympics. he won the pan am games. i don't even know if you realize this, i said how come it has not been broken yet? but he is the last undefeated season. and he almost had to in a row, he had won almost before. i mean, there is a guy that is a winner. he said, for the people of indiana it is an important week. if we win, it is over and then i can focus -- [applause] mr. trump: then i not have to worry about lying ted cruz. he endorses me, i could care less. i don't have to worry about john kasich, who was one in 44. and that is because i did not go that i don't two days, i stayed in florida because i wanted to win florida and they gave me what is called a dirty poll. somebody came out with

look at the numbers, nafta has been a disaster. what it's done to new england and new york state, what it's done here and what it's done everywhere. bill clinton signed it. bill clinton signed it. it's been horrible. now they want to pass transpacific partnership. that will be worse than nafta and we will sufferer. we are not going to let them continue. you know the document, the document is 6000 pages long and i guarantee you every one of those countries that are involved, every single one of them have read every word, every , -- every comma every paragraph and our guys have never even read it i guarantee you. 6000 pages folks. and all it is is another way for other countries to the blood out of the united states and we are not going to let it happen. [applause] and lyin' ted cruz is in favor of it and the single biggest advantage these companies have his monetary manipulation where they make it impossible for our companies to compete with them so our companies and the bleeding. its it's devaluation of the currency, especially chi

nafta has been a disaster for our country. nafta has to be totally gotten rid of. something has to happen with nafta. what happened, nafta, signed by bill clinton, a total disaster for the united states. like, an economic disaster, almost like we've never had before. it is wiped out big sections of manufacturing in this country and moved to other places. all of that will change with me, and what i tell people is, you're going to have jobs. it's very simple. now, in addition to that we're going to have a strong military. we're going to have so many other things. strong borders. stop the drugs from coming across our borders. all's things, build a wall and mexico's paying for the wall, by the way, in case you have any questions, but these are things that i will do that nobody else is going to be able to do. no politician is going to be able to do it, because they're controlled by people and because they don't have the competence to do t. let me ask you something else. not just the wall. remember, you have to fill in all the tunnels also. because the tunnels are for mo

her husband signed nafta. nafta is the single worst economic thing that's happened to this country that i can think of. it sucked the jobs and sucked the money right out of our country. we're going to make big changes. >> john heilemann, you're next. john heilemann, again, this is a remarkable general election where you're going to have a republican nominee more populist on trade and more of a populist on intervention, military intervention than the democratic nominee. you talk about like the obama people say, the deck is being reshuffled. we'll see how that shakes out but i want to ask a question. good morning, donald. >> good morning. >> you're heading down an election by most reckoning going to cost a billion dollars in the campaign. you've been proud about being self-funded. you have people talking about pro trump super pacs. as you head into the general election are you going to welcome the support of super pacs. >> first of all, ed rollins has been tremendous. we talked about kraut hammer, they have prob

it's going to be worse than nafta. okay. since 2000, the number of unemployed people in albuquerque has nearly doubled. come on, folks. what's with it, what's wrong? your fault? is it your fault or is it your government's fault? it's your government's fault. since 2000, the number of people on food stamps in new mexico has tripled. we have to get your governor to get going. she has to do a better job, okay? your governor has got to do a better job. she's not doing the job. hey, maybe i'll run for governor of new mexico. i'll get this place going. she's not doing her job. we got to get her moving. come on, let's go, governor. since 2000, the median household income in new mexico has declined by $2,000. now think of that. think of that. $2,000. so you're working harder today, okay, you're working harder today than you worked probably ever, and these numbers are very consistent. i went through new york and pennsylvania and all these places. by the time i got finished, i didn't even need him to give me the numbers because they w

>> first of all, bill clinton is one that signed nafta.the history of our country, that's been the worst trade deal ever. >> isn't that her job? >> what that has done to this country, that has cleaned out our factories. i -- i just went through new york. we won in landslides. new york and maryland and pennsylvania and connecticut, all of these places. i toured them because, you know, i wanted their votes and they were all great. they have been cleaned out. 50% down with manufacturing. almost every one of them. 45% to 50% down. these companies have moved to mexico. they moved to different -- nafta is a disaster. it was bill clinton's deal. he's the one that signed it. and for him to be involved with the economy is a joke. okay? it's a joke. now, people didn't see the effects until later because nafta took effect a little bit later after he was done. nafta's probably the worst -- one of the worst deals we ever signed in this country from the standpoint of economic development or jobs. >> it seems like she almost wants to run with him. let me

. >> nafta, as an example, has been a total disaster for the united states and has emptied our states, literally emptied our states of our manufacturing and our jobs. >> which president bill clinton signed into law in 1993, removed most trade barriers between mexico, the united states and canada in hopes of creating more efficient production processes between the three countries and increasing access to affordable goods. protesters have argued that the agreement cost american jobs by creating competition between american and mexican workers. nafta supporters argue instead that the trade deal has actually added jobs in america. >> i'm a free trader. i supported nafta. >> whichever side of the debate you fall on, the fact remains that the number of american manufacturing jobs has dropped by a third since 1990 and 2100 hoosiers will be missing jobs come this time next year. now it's up to them to decide which of these candidates will best represent their trade interests when they take office. and after the break, we'll have representatives from both sides of the free trade debate on live

you know, clinton did not pass nafta. bush passed nafta. >> really? who signed nafta? >> excuse me. who signed nafta? whose bill was it and who signed? >> what's your point? >> one of the worst deals ever made in the history of our country, and destroyed manufacturing, and destroyed jobs. >> that's a valid point. spread the blame across both parties. and you have to come up with a solution. >> no. the signer of nafta, look at who signed it. check it out. >> bush xli. >> okay. you take a look. you take a look. nafta was a clinton deal and he wanted it so badly, and i have not been a big fan of what went on in terms, economic development, or with the war with bush either, frankly. if you want to know the truth. there's a whole -- that's a whole other story. but if you look at nafta and look at what's been done and how hard clinton pushed it, and that bill has been an absolute disaster. the passage of that has been an absolute disaster for our country. >> all right. fair point. you want to criticize nafta. do more about trade, helping veterans. >> and get jobs back into t

nafta was signed by bill clinton. nafta has been a catastrophe. an absolute catastrophe for our country. they say i'm not conservative, on trade. i believe in free trade, that's what they want. but we're getting ripped off on free trade because our leaders don't know what they're doing. in the case of mexico, i have nothing against mexico. thousands of people that work for me from mexico. they're fantastic. hispanics, think i'm going to do great with the hispanic vote. >> today is cinco de mayo. do you have any message to the mexican americans? >> i have no message other than i have great respect for mexico and their leaders, i'm not holding anything against mexico. i'm not holding anything against china. i'm holding it against our leaders for making such horrendous deals they're incompetent or they're taken care of by groups. there's tremendous money that pours, they pour into the superpacs. and to campaigns. today you announced your national finance chairman. he's an ambassador, former partner of goldman sachs. there will be people who say oh, h

let me tell you about nafta. we have created the greatest trading balance in the world between the mexico and united states. let me point to this very specifically. what mexico buys from the united states, over 750 billion u.s. dollars that we buy, that we import means jobs for well over 10 million u.s. citizens in the united states. so, we are accountable for 10 million jobs for u.s. citizens because of what we import. deirdre: let me come back to nafta in a minute. >> we have a win-win situation. deirdre: because it is really important and i definitely want to talk about. i just want to ask you about the apology, if you don't mind because there are cynics who say, that you have apologized now because donald trump is the front-runner, is the presumptive nominee for the republican party. that you wouldn't have apologized if he had he not -- >> the front-runner is hillary clinton. deirdre: for one party. >> which 13 points advantage, no, over donald trump. so -- deirdre: it is way too early to call that. but i jus

we've had enough of clinton, you know, again, nafta was given to us by clinton. that was a clinton deal signed by clinton and it's been the most destructive thing. we can't take anymore of the clinton stuff which is another stuff of barack obama. you can't take it, folks. you want to have your mind at 100%. and when she said, recently, two weeks ago, i watched her. i said did she make a mistake? but when she said she's going to close the miners and close the mines. i've got think, do you think she was kidding? do you really think? and then she comes here and she's begging for your vote. i didn't really mean that. i didn't really mean that. that's her true feeling, ok? she didn't have a teleprompter when she said that. that's why she use as teleprompter. she uses the teleprompter because she can't make that kind of mistake, ok? i don't have a teleprompter. isn't it better? it's better. [cheers and applause] so here's the story. we all had a good time tonight. because during the subject matter is no good. you know, the subject matter stinks. i mean, our country is

nafta has been a total disaster for our country. nafta was signed by the clinton administration. what nafta has done to this country, i won new york big. and speaking of winning new york big, if you look at the polls, exit polls, i was number one with women by a long shot, nobody was even close to me. i won new york, pennsylvania, maryland, connecticut, delaware, rhode island, all these, and indiana the other night. if you look at the polls, number one with women and it is not even close. >> let's talk about general election, electoral college strategy, get to go 270 electoral votes. john mccain couldn't do it, mitt romney couldn't do it. how are you going to do it. what states are you going to put in play that they couldn't put in play. >> that's a question i love, something i think that i am better served than anyone. first of all, you see i did very well in new york. do you agree? >> because they're republicans. you won almost every county in recent elections, except your own personal home county in manhattan. >> which is under review, they think i won that, too. >> really? >>

that's why i supported nafta, i supported the wto. i support the tpp.ecause i'm unconcerned about the effects of trade on the u.s. economy. we need a much more aggressive strategy for dealing with that. but because we are not take more of those risks bypassing this agreement, and we are getting a lot of market access in other countries. gary: president obama is writing the narrative on his legacy. he said he made the decision to push obamacare instead of a infrastructure bill. was that a mistake? >> history will have to be the judge. one of my biggest regrets from that period that the country did not launch a longer and more sustained public investment program. i think we would have a stronger economy if we did that. but i think we have got and lot of economic benefit from what happened in healthcare. the fact that the healthcare cost curve has been bent is a big win for america. gary: more from salt in las vegas after this. >> announcer: some of the greatest minds in the world are meeting in las vegas this week to discuss the greatist issues covering o

who approved nafta? kasich approved nafta. one of the deciding votes. so here's what happened.bobby went into that arena, and it was a big arena, it was incredible. people are screaming, crying. they love robbie. he won 900 games. he won 300 college championships. he won the olympics. he won the pan am games. he has the only, i don't know of you know, i did not even realizes, i said how come it has not been broken yet? but he is the last undefeated season. a row,almost had to in he had won almost before. here is a winner. he said, for the people of indiana it is an important week. if we win, it is over and then i can focus -- [applause] mr. trump: then i not have to worry about lying ted cruz. i don't have to worry about john kasich it was one in 44 and that is his own state. and that is because i did not go that i don't two days, i stayed in florida because i wanted to win florida and they gave me what is called a dirty poll. somebody came out with a dirty poll in florida. if i would've spent two more days in ohio, we would have one. but i did not stop it is ok. 45, 40 4, 46,f

you look at nafta there was a number of republicans that pushed that forward including george w.h and newt gingrich at the time. >> i think in fairness donald trump probably doesn't know what was in nafta. the u.s. markets are already open. that is why they are such a rich country. the average tariff is 1 and a half percent. what free trade deals are all about for u.s. producers. rich countries are free trading companies. >> they are thinking about their lives, their job and the economy most importantly. the plans how are they different depending on each. >> she talked a lot about jobs. the interesting thing there is she wants to raise the capital gains rate to 45 percent. that is a huge penalty on investment success. that's what voters should look out there. trump has very good ideas on taxes. the reason we work is we want to get what we don't have. the ideas on trade is to have a huge tax on the american people. they would make it more difficult. let's face it. the imports aren't bad if we keep that we will be a poorer nation on each post. >> it is important to have the america

nafta was signed by bill clinton. nafta has been a catastrophe. an absolute catastrophe for our country. they say i'm not conservative, on trade. i believe in free trade, that's what they want. but we're getting ripped off on free trade because our leaders don't know what they're doing. in the case of mexico, i have nothing against mexico. thousands of people that work for me from mexico. they're fantastic. hispanics, think i'm going to do great with the hispanic vote. >> today is cinco de mayo. do you have any message to the mexican americans? >> i have no message other than i have great respect for mexico and their leaders, i'm not holding anything against mexico. i'm not holding anything against china. i'm holding it against our leaders for making such horrendous deals they're incompetent or they're taken care of by groups. there's tremendous money that pours, they pour into the superpacs. and to campaigns. today you announced your national finance chairman. he's an ambassador, former partner of goldman sachs. there will be people who say oh, h

can you be anti-nafta and get enough votes?s tough to see how donald trump brings any latinos or lat latinas into his tent and also we haven't seen barack obama hit the campaign trail yet and try to generate college campuses in the african-american votes so we've got a lot of acts ahead of us but today was a big day for trump. he hit his 1237 delegate number. >> plus one, i hear. stay with me, gentlemen, when we come back, the wall is just beginning, the wall is just the beginning. wait until you hear what else donald trump wants to build in washington. the spice level. it really opens the passages. waiter. water. so why would you invest without checking brokercheck? check your broker with brokercheck. go to ziprecruiter.com and post your job? to over 100 of the web's leading job boards with a single click, then simply select the best candidates from one easy-to-review list. and now you can use ziprecruiter for free. go to ziprecruiter.com/offer5 i'm getting dark chocolate and a hint of butterscotch. how about you? i taste - wh

things like nafta. he could have challenged trump not only on his authenticity it, but the way he conducts himself. >> the problem i have is the optics. i was in debates 2004, many debates. i don't think you can button hole trump like that. because trump is very glib and the authenticity of sanders, he would play on. i think trump would have used to try to appeal to some of sanders voters. 17% have been in one poll of bernie sanders saying they will vote for trump a lot more said hillary. but he would have tried to say i'm your best alternative and played on to bernie sanders. it's rigged, you were robbed and try to -- i think that's where trump could have gone. >> i agree completely and that was actually in trump's statement. that he said that the democratic party system is rigged and there was a poll just in west have a have alone that 44% of bernie voters said they would vote for donald trump. so this could have been an opportunity for him to make that pitch to bernie sanders supporters and also to t

hillary supported nafta, bill clinton put it into place. that will be a stumbling block. >> we'll take a quick break here. coming up, donald trump as commander-in-chief. why the "new york times" columnist tom freedman says in his words there is no question that isis wants donald trump to be president. and former national security and counterterrorism official richard clark will join us. >>> president obama's approval rating is the highest it's been since he began his second term. steve kornacki will join us at the big board to look at just how that might affect the general election. narrator: sometimes it's the things that the rest of us don't see that can make all the difference in california's classrooms. it's part of my responsibility as someone who's experienced to allow the door to be open for younger teachers. the teamwork between the teachers is essential. when we collaborate with each other... ...it makes everyone stronger. by helping my fellow teachers be successful, i'm helping kids be successful. narrator: the california teachers

bob cash, state director for the texas fair trade commission and nafta critic looks at how trade took jobs and how it hurts mexicans as well. make sure to watch beginning live at 7:00 p.m. eastern wednesday and thursday june 1st and 2nd from loredo, texas. join the discussion. >>> welcome to real america on cspan 3's real american history

administration approved what they called nafta. which has single-handedly taken vast amounts of of our businesses in a particular manufacturing businesses and brought them into other countries. i want to tell you, i live in new york, and i know new york in new york state well. it is a great place with great people. but i toured upper new york state and i went to sarah hughes, -- syracuse, and i went to albany, and we were getting crowds like you wouldn't believe. i was rebuilding after building, and some of these buildings are really big, empty. businesses left years ago. same thing that you are having. businesses left years ago in a move to mexico and they moved to other places. frankly, china took businesses and everything else. the statistical charts. i have these statisticians that love stats. i would rather be a coal miner than a statistician. but they are good. and after about 10 different speeches, in different states, i realized, they are all the same. i didn't even need my statisticians. because they were saying manufactur

it used to look like nafta was a big success, but you see donald trump shattering nafta saying it is the worst thing for america. so there are two sides of bill clinton, nafta, but the economic recovery. they're going to focus that he can bring the jobs back to these towns by attracting some kind of manufacturing like some of the auto industries to a state like kentucky. >> the other thing she brought up is obama care in kentucky. it is not called obama care in kentucky, it's working, but they elected a republican governor, who wants to repeal the whole thing. so it seems like the state of kentucky is conflicted about obama care, even though it is working for that state. >> it is conflicted, but i'll tell you what works in hillary clinton's favor, because i was in lexington recently. it is a wonderful town. amazing city. a lot of people are starting to retire to kentucky. milder climates, you can buy a house for a relatively good price. a lot of them want quality health care. these are middle class people. obama care has popularity, but also protecting social security and medicare, t

the texas direct there and a nap that critic will look at how nafta took jobs from southern texas to mexico and how it hurts mexicans as well. be sure to watch c-span's washington journal wednesday and thursday, june 1 and two from laredo, texas. conventions at 2016 -- commencement addresses continues. later, attorney loretto lynch. administrator gina macarthur told graduates at vermont law school to consider careers and public service. she also spoke about the efforts onion's climate change. [applause] >> thank you. thank you, students. you rock! hello vermont law school lawyers. i have to start by saying two things. first of all, congratulations to all the masters. you don't intimidate had all. i have one of those. i want to say up front, i am not a lawyer and really i have

, and going after the chinese on trade, as well. >> not just repeal nafta, order by an executive power as yet unnamed the private company and carrier not to leave the united states. order the company carrier not to leave that. is the current policy. >> donald trump -- >> i don't think you can take any of donald trump's statements so far in this campaign as orthodoxy, and i do think that even includes, from private conversations i've been having with his aids and with those close to him, i do think that does even include building a wall. >> how about abortion? maybe he will be pro choice by september. [ overlapping speakers ] >> the very important thing you have to remember about donald trump, he likes to describe himself as the best negotiator there is out there. "the art of the deal" isn't just a book he wrote a few decades ago, it is the way he lives his life and how he goes about everything and it is the way he's going about his campaign, from what i've been told from private conversations. >> let me be clear, he's been negotiating with himself about taxes for the last 72 hours, whi

nafta was very much a part of that. estimating 700,000 jobs that have been lost as a result.hink about the need for our own economy to grow. the need for our middle class to prosper. this is something that donald is hitting hard over and over again. do you think that trade dollars fee, nafta, all of that welcome back into the front of everyone. the visions right now. we will be talking about this much, much more. >> a field day with economic, sees of the left. you look at what they have done to the coal industry. all of us can wind up paying higher energy costs if we rely on wind and solar. not only cold, but are other dialogs. we have to harness that whereas the last seats do not want to get rid of it because it pollutes everything. trish: paying with our tax dollars. >> the pollution thing. if the coal goes to china, they pollute five times more than we do. they have not figured that out yet. >> foster freeze, good to see you. thank you. >> good to see you. god bless. trish: up 207 points. you get the dow trading higher. same thing over on the s&p. you have oil moving highe

okay, one word, nafta. the manufacturing industries have been totally brutalized. there believe nafta is largely responsible for a lot of the that flight of those jobs. she's going to have her work cut out for her to convince people she's a good steward of jobs in america. before her campaign starts freaking out, if you assume donald trump wins all the states that mitt romney won in 2012, hillary clinton would only have to win one of those three states to win the presidency. she's probably not exactly packing it in and heading home. the last thing i will say, because it is coolest part of the poll, no one's talking about. we heard a lot about the bernie or bust movement the number of people according to this poll who said they would just sit home, or just not vote in this election was only about 7 or 8%. so we've got a lot of voices talking about, we don't like trump or clinton, but the truth is, the numbers are actually pretty small. had to add that in. >> in that same poll, sanders does better than trump in all three states. >> they both have sort of protectionis

it is called nafta. and i was witness to the carnage over the last six weeks especially.ow, i have known syracuse, i have known for can see, and i and i have known poughkeepsie and maryland and other places. all of the different states. connecticut. i have witnessed what hit has done firsthand and it has been carnage. we are going to change it around. we are not going to let carrier and all of these countries think they can move, go to another country, make their product and sell it back to us and we get only one thing. unemployment. not going to happen, folks. not going to happen anymore. we are going to bring back our jobs and we are going to keep our jobs. we're are not going to let companies leave. if they want to go to another state, good luck. compete. but if they start going to other countries, and in many cases countries that he valued their currency and make it impossible for our country to compete, that is not going to happen. not going to happen. and if they want to do it anyway there will be consequences. terry, very serious concert winces. serious very conseq

nafta and deregulation.that donald trump and bernie sanders spent the better part of 69 months railing against to some success. why run on the '90s economy? >> well, it is as great point. the deregulation of wall street, okay? well the '90s economy was more than nafta and welfare we form that you can put on that list as well. this is also appears when the unemployment rate fell below 4% and 12 million jobs created and wages and income were rising not just at the top but at the middle and the bottom of the scale. it is been a few years since the 1990s, craig, if you look at african-american poverty felled 8% point. low age workers were rising a the pace of productivity growth. just on the real economy numbers, the '90s mean something different than those policy areas. >> if the secretary ultimately is nominated when that happens, she's facing a guy, one of her major selling points to a lot of folks is his business experience. talk to me about the optics here. you got the guy that is running on this business,

nafta has been a total disaster for our country. nafta was signed by the clinton administration.t nafta has done to this country, i won new york big. and speaking of winning new york big, if you look at the polls, exit polls, i was number one with women by a long shot, nobody was even close to me. i won new york, pennsylvania, maryland, connecticut, delaware, rhode island, all these, and indiana the other night. if you look at the polls, number one with women and it is not even close. >> let's talk about general election, electoral college strategy, get to go 270 electoral votes. john mccain couldn't do it, mitt romney couldn't do it. how are you going to do it. what states are you going to put in play that they couldn't put in play. >> that's a question i love, something i think that i am better served than anyone. first of all, you see i did very well in new york. do you agree? >> because they're republicans. you won almost every county in recent elections, except your own personal home county in manhattan. >> which is under review, they think i won that, too. >> really? >> yes

you have the millennial under the age of 35 like myself who grew up in this nafta free trade era political world we live in today. where capitalism got out of control. it wasn't about supporting the american markets and american business and the middle class. about short-term profits for wall street for the 1% of the 1% of the 1%. and all of that us graduated college come out in debt, complete debt with expensive housing, high cost of living. we all have to move to the cities to find jobs and we just can't keep up. so it is a question of where are our priorities? are our national priorities in giving tax benefits to the wealthiest of the wealthy and the burden on the middle class for the next generation? because if that's the case we're not going to be moving forward. >> then you are people not supporting the very job creators, in word by bashing them but also indeed with the mountain of regulations that the white house has put on companies the last seven years. >> you could actually put other clips and the donald trump clips on free trade are really not. i'm sure capitalism when it falls
