the rebuild of nafta as was _ relationships reached?s and until now the us nca the united states mexico canada free trade area. ultimately what it meant for example, in this spot over the energy issue was that the united states and canada could raise their dispute through the mechanisms of that agreement and basically complained to mexico formally. obviously that will then need resolving. ultimately there was not that much different about nafta in terms of some of the nitty—gritty but it does set the relationship onto a new path for the 21st century. that was the reddick rick at the time. one worth remembering —— rhetoric. and it was brought in heavily. there's relief in pakistan tonight, after donors pledged more than $8 billion to help it recover from last year's devastating floods, in what is being seen as a major test of who pays for climate disasters. the pledges came at a fund—raising conference in geneva. among those attending: the un secretary—general antonio guterres, who opened the conference by castigating world leaders forfa

>> the rebuild of nafta into usmca, the u.s.ico-canada free-trade area meant in this spat over the energy issue, the united states and canada could raise their dispute through the mechanisms of that agreement and complain formally. that will need resolving. ultimately, there was not that much different about nafta in terms of some of the nitty-gritty. it doesn't set the relationship on a new path for the 21st century. that was the rhetoric at the time. it is wth remembering that obrador bought into that avily. >> we started in brazil. we went to mexico. now we are going to talk about pakistan. it is connected to switzerland. donors have pledged $8 billion to help pakistan recover from last year's floods. an international conference at geneva, officials from 40 countries attended. so did private donors and international financial institutions. the u.n. secretary general was there. >> as global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, today it is pakistan, tomorrow it could be in your country. i am deeply frustrated that global

the if you look back at bill clinton's administration and nafta, that's when most of this crap started everybody says that the republicans passed that. that is not true. if you do the numbers, there is no way in hell the republicans could have passed this that. they didn't haveth the numbers o do it. the democrats had to help them. thank you. >> host: talking about nafta there, but the president meeting in this week with the president of mexico and prime minister of canada. how much influence does china have on our neighbors to the north and south? >> guest: china's influence on canada is similar in terms of scale with the united states. some might it's a little easier because of the fact that there are more chinese immigrants into canada than already in the united states, proportionally speaking, proportionate to population. and, hence, it's always easier to influence chinese population overseas. the influence of foreign newspapers in chinese language, for example, and that's what makes canada a little bit easier target than the united states. but when it comes to, for example, mexico

so they are trying to combine these two factors under nafta, under this umbrella of nafta to have a positiveand to have a more complete benefit for the vast majority of the pulation that is how president lopez obrador has justified his unwillingness to bet on clean energy, for example. amy: elÍas camhaji, 90 for being with us, mexican journalist for el paÍs. and erika guevara-rosas, americas director for amnesty international, both speaking to us from mexico city. 100 years ago this week in, the rosewood massacre in florida to lace. and armed white mob attacked the predominantly black town in central florida. we will talk with the grandchild of a survivor. and then afterwards, ben jealous has a new memoir and we will speak with him. stay with us. ♪♪ [music break] amy: this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman with juan gonzalez. he turned to look at the rosewood massacre. 100 years ago this weekend, a white mob attacked and burned on the black town of rosewood and a central florida. the racist mob murdered at least six black residents and forced the

nafta appeared representatives of the team leader, op - andriy yermak edition bios info, asked them. how these appointments came about, but there was no answer . as you can see, the fight against corruption in ukraine is more like a scenery for the next project, quarter 95. yes, the main person is andriy yermak, the head of the presidential office, kirill timoshenko, now his former deputy , on the ukrainian telegram channels, they call another vip following the results of the military year 22 the winner in the nomination corrupt official of the year became davi tarahami. the entire economy of the country is mired in schemes and corruption, and the patron of this whole process is david arakhamia all corrupt projects. abramovich is being led by a deputy from the opzzh on the one hand. he is a long-time close friend of arakhamia, and on the other hand, abramovich is a friend of sergey vozmikin, the former deputy head of the department of strategic investigations above the floor. what does a friendly team do? they write about smuggling tax avoidance, and they didn’t completely take over

and clinton came in, we did nafta, everything went away. and then when they took the woodworking away from this part of virginia, the city of martinsville collapsed. host: all right. bob good is your congressman of danville, isn't he? caller: yes, sir, yes, sir, he is. host: he's one of the 20 dissenters. caller: well, see, the thing is he knows as well as everyone else knows mccarthy is going to be a moderate. he's not going to stand up to the hard truths that are facing the nation. host: all right, don, we're going to leave it there and talk to chase in georgia on our independent line. chase, thanks for holding. you're on c-span. caller: hi there. host: please go ahead with your comments. caller: so i actually wanted to comment on the recent press conference and i agreed a lot with what dr. mccormick had to say. and especially the rise of radicalism on both sideses of the parties. we've seen this since nixon came into office. you know, and especially once reagan took over. the polarization. there used to be moderate and conservative wings

and also the second version of nafta, which was approved under president trump come had all kinds ofulations about production of automobiles, a portion of which had to be in the united states. that also has been a bone of contention. could you talk about these two issues and what to might expect -- what you might expect to come out of it? >> in terms of lopez obrador, in terms of his energy policies, he defends this policy by saying unnecessary to have economic growth and development. what they're trying to do is combine the trsition to clean energies witeconomic ingration. there is a plan between arizona and the other side of the border to increase the supply chain of semi conductors, for example. the minerals that are key will be extracted from mexico and taken to arizona to have more jo and substantial benefits, complete and if it's onhe economic side. here imexico, it is expected -- sorry, prime minister trudeau will pressure that because climate change and climate worries are a priority for the u.s. and canada, but not as much for mexican government. so they are trying to combin

and canada have become tied because of nafta. this trade agreement helps our communities grow and created millions of good employment and the trade amongst our borders drew investors from the world over. it makes sense why. combined we are home to half a billion people. we have an extraordinarily strong innovation ecosystem. our combined g.d.p. is larger than that of the european union. and as leaders we are all dedicated to driving economic growth that supports the middle class and those working hard to join it. these are all foundations of a strong and resilient continental economy. people remember what happened just a few years ago when the certainty of this partnership was in question. investors, businesses, workers and citizens all worried about what would happen when free trade is at risk, that isn't good for competition in the global market. thankfully the belief in free and fair trade won the day. we renegotiated and we got an even better deal. to put it simply, we are and always will be stronger together. the world today

i thought nafta would work better than did. trump's renegotiation was right. i thoit opening up china would work and would lead to a modern china. hasn't happened and it's a threat to all of us. those vessels used to be in charge and bear some responsibility why people are angry and why they are concerned. >> given the deep divisions, do you see much compromise in the next two years? and if so, where? >> after i became speaker, i gave a speech at heritage right after the election and i said i will cooperate but i will not compromise. i think that's the position speaker mccarthy. he should negotiate directly with president biden and no one else. and he should be very pleasant, very calm when it's possible we should cooperate. but we should not compromise our core values and except tension is inevitable when you have a hard left president surrounded by hard left advisers that we regard as crazy and they have the same attitude. you are not going to go to a tea party and be friends. clinton and i met 35 days in order to get a balanced budget. it was tough but it w

>> police in the east bay helped reunite a french bulldog with his family after it was likely dog nafta more than a year ago, livermore police posted this picture of the happy owner holding her dog money. they say officers responded to a reckless driving report on january 4th, but the driver took off when police arrived. they still found the vehicle in during the search. officers found money inside the car and then took the dog to the animal shelter in dublin because money was chipped and that's how the workers got in touch with the family that was missing the dogs. they are in chula vista and san diego county. as you can see, the family came up back to the bay area and took money home having and egos tips make such a big have get your pet. definitely that's it for us 6. we'll see you tonight at 8 o'clock at night. have a nice evening (vo) at wells fargo, direct deposits come up to two days early with early pay day. what if everything came two days early? (hero) have a good weekend! alright now... have a good weekend. (co-worker) but it's wednesday... (co-worker 2) see you monday! (co-w

i mean, clinton did it as much destruction as ronald reagan, maybe more nafta, fcc, glass-steagall andeverything else. so destroying 70% of the original recipients on welfare were children and and and ralph's argued, you know, if we can pull five, ten, 15 million people away, that's the only mechanism we have left to put pressure on the democrats. but of course, that didn't happen. and i'm very frightened where we are and what's coming, i think informed by i went through in yugoslavia that unless that, you know, the rage these trump supporters while expressed in very frightening ways, is not illegitimate. they have every right to be enraged. um, unfortunate only that rage is being directed. it often is by demagogues the vulnerable towards scapegoats and. and so let's hope i there is the new york times has reported that there have been contact with putin's security advisor. let's hope for negotiations let's hope that the russian troops with draw there is some kind of ceding of land for peace because we just had a either a missile, some kind ordnance slammed in poland, four miles inside

he covered a wide range of topics, including nafta, tax cuts, crowd size, illegal immigration, the electionwhy they don't put melania on magazine covers anymore, the space force. it was quite a performance and he got it in just before tomorrow when the oscar nominations come out. >> inflation is a death sentence for a country. you just can look back over the last 200 or 300 years, and you look at what inflation has done to many other countries. it is an absolute death sentence. but your sister diamond was taken from us much too soon. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: inflation -- inflation killed diamond? i don't know. and by the way, we're just getting started! >> i've done a tremendous amount of work for the african american population, the black population. and i always ask, what do you like better, african american, black, you know, there is many different terms. they said we like black. we like black. because i was always saying african american. but many people said we like black. >> jimmy: dr. martin luther king jr.'s dream has finally come true. it was more of a me-logy than a eulogy. it was e

he said we've given billions to latin america over the years and don't forget about nafta that helpeday. >> tony gonzalez in texas. thanks. >> dana: idaho police still investigating evidence in the suspect bryan kohberger. how strong is the case against him so far? off your monthly expenses, call newday the newday 100 va cash out loan lets you take out an average of $70,000. use that low-payment home loan to pay off your high-rate credit cards. then, pay off your car loan. and then take the cash left over and put it in the bank for the financial security that every veteran deserves. (jennifer) the reason why golo customers have such long term success is because the golo plan takes a holistic approach to weight loss. we focus on real foods in the right balance so you get the results you want. the release supplement makes losing weight easy. release sets you up for successful weight loss because it supports your blood sugar levels between meals so you aren't hungry or fatigued. golo is real, our customers are real, and our success stories are real. we have a 98% satisfaction rating. why

the last time we had this conversation was really around nafta and that had a whole bunch of underpinningsis the result of a combination of narco violence, environmental crisis and fallout from covid. the least reported news that the covid pandemic hit latin america hardest after almost 30 years of progress, all of a sudden close to 16 million middle class lat latin americans were found below the poverty line. and that is the consequence. and so as i see the president having conversations with trudeau and the president of mexico, what he is emphasizing that this is a north american issue, it absolutely is. because if we have in-sdablts stability that we're seeing in brazil and other parts, it will be a fault line between the border crisis and much more. so this is the beginning of a bigger wave if we don't figure out what is our strategy for the western hemisphere. and my hope is coming out of these conversation that's says that we have to couple the immigration crisis and these are the residual effects of the covid pandemic and the narco trafficking and the climate crisis. >> how do you g

she was very much in line with the some of the protectionist policies against nafta for instance some years ago. so here's someone who has an opportunity, doesn't fit in 100% of the i'm too with the democrats might see an opportunity to not switch parties but form some sort of a coalition in the middle and have an opportunity that she never got with the democratic party. >> neil: i'm wondering what would be the reaction of hakeem jeffries? he consistently gets all 212 democratic votes. he needs six others. might he be thinking that any democrat that bolts robs him of the leap of faith here that he captures that speakership? >> here's the other problem facing not just kevin mccarthy right now but will at some points face hakeem jeffries. i talked about the staring contest. there's actually a staring contest going on on the democratic side, too. is anybody going to break if they get to a coalition government or if they have a coalition speaker. nobody has been willing to break so far. 212 every single time. so who is going to break there? would it be somebody like marcy captor? there wa

[speaking french] >> closely tied because of nafta. this trade agreement helps our countries grow and created millions of good employment and the trade amongst our borders drew investors from the world over. >> competitive in the world. it makes sense why. combined, we are home to half a billion people. we have an extraordinarily strong innovation ecosystem. our combined g.d.p. is larger than that of the european union and leaders we're all dedicated to driving economic growth that supports the middle class and those working hard to join it. these are all foundations of a strong and resilient continental economy. remember what happened just a few years ago when the certainty of this partnership was in question. investors, businesses, workers and citizens all worried about what would happen when free trade is at risk, that isn't good for competition in the global market. thankfully, the belief in free and fair trade won the day. we renegotiated and we got an even better deal. to put it simply, we are and always will be stronger together

we got a new nafta deal. there's things that we can be doing and should be doing and the thing that is so frustrating to me, we made a heck of a lot of progress. but what you couldn't get in articulation of is what is good enough and how do we move forward. martha, today i should be getting a brief on china's space activities. i wanted a briefing on the pentagon lifting the vaccine mandate from our military. i can't. they won't give it because i'm not sworn in. you know, i can keep going down the list of the business that we should be doing. and now we're seeing all kinds of new names thrown out there. look, here's my other fear, martha. i want to say this loud and clear. i'm absolutely against it. but there are discussions going on with the democrats about sharing committees, about not allowing subpoenas, about having a one to one ratio of republican and democrat. some of our moderates are getting fed up that are in biden districts. they get a voice, too. they're starting to talk about power sharing. that's

of course, during the trump administration, there was also a rearrangement of nafta, and i'm sure they'reiscussing issues related to that. that is an ongoing conversation. the united states has always been pressed by mexico because the country has an interest in more american companies setting up shop there, producing more employment there, and economic activity. >> monica and julian, thank you both for your time. >>> up next, critics are calling it the maga grievance committee. what we know about the new republican house majority's plan to investigate the federal government. >>> plus, one of the thousands of supporters of former brazilian president have been detained after they stormed brazil's congress. the charges they face and the potential consequences for bolsonaro. e's cleaning the tras. oh, boy. meeting a new young homeowner for the first time is a unique challenge. -so you think you can help? -i can try. hey, what you doing? oh, just cleaning my trash cans. wow. it's important to build trust. see you put your address and phone number on here. well, you can never be too safe. with

there's complications around the sort of long tail around the usmca, the supposed replacement for naftat president trump negotiated. there's still some uncertainty about how that's being enforced. there's a controversy over mexico's energy policy. so they've got a lot to talk about and potentially resolve, but as far as we know, there's not a lot of progress being made so far. >> yeah, and i should mention, speaking of progress, that we are monitoring this and have multiple languages, translations. they finished the opening statement portion so we should expect to have some progress going there. when we look at the hill, part of what we were discussing with you on multiple levels. you know what? let's listen in. i think the president is about to speak. >> i was having trouble hearing, but i'd like to call on the associated press, colleen long, first question. >> thanks, mr. president. hi, prime minster, trudeau. for mr. president, you have been accused of being too soft on border security and now too hard following the recent border policy changes. what's the right balance? and on the n

i want to draw on that research nafta examined for ways that the people of this rural place responded to the problem that i talked about in the very beginning of class. their town was declining. and they rejuvenated it in the late 1800s by tapping urban and even global resources. so, over the next few minutes, we are going to look together at monson's creation of an industrial landscape, a tourist landscape. the creation of a new local newspaper called weekly -- and at rural immigration. first of all, an industrial landscape, we talked about industrialization last week when we explore the gilded age. between 1870 and 1900, as the united states industrialized on a grand scale, the value of manufactured products quadrupled. the united states passed a significant milestone in late 1890, because in 1890, for the first time in american history, the value of manufactured goods passed the value of agricultural products. we spent sometime last week in discussion section exploring some of the industrial activity that took place in cities like chicago. think of your agus and other immigrants wo

at the momentum looking at an extraordinary story about this woman, let nafta, who basically runs -- heroin. heroin trade. for about 14 or 15. years between 1930 and 1980. she's the nonviolent, grandmother of heroin trafficking on the east. and texas. and the east coast of texas. and one thing that really struck me, so many legends about. are all created by the media. the way she came to power is that she massacred all the chinese. ensued out herrera's, pistol toting, psychotic kobanÎ and clyde. of total nonsense. there is nothing there, there was nothing there an actual fact it seems to work -- to provide opium for them. you have a much more corporate view of it because they're making money. one thing i think that we overestimated, one thing that the priceless distress, is the idea that cartels and drug traffickers are kind of natural capitalists. they always want to kind of fight for their little space in time. but an actual fast, most want to cooperate. the market in the u.s. is infinite. there's no need, some -- sell in san antonio. just go to chicago, right? it's not like sellin

. -- nafta. annmarie, what was your take away? >> it was for show up on lines from these three leaders. it was night and day of what we saw from the trump administration, who never attended such a summit. you saw justin to grow say -- prime minister justin trudeau said you all remember a few years ago when this partnership was potentially in doubt. you are seeing a real show of force from these three leaders that they want to task their teams to build more integration when it comes to trade. president biden talked about his trip to el paso and that she wants to work with mexican officials to work on a more legal path for migration. they announced a new pathway virtually instead of people showing up at the border. he also talked about fentanyl. 20,000 pounds have been seized that the board just since august the loan. they want to have more formal relationships to combat these issues together. we know that there are also tricky conversations going on behind the scenes when it comes to trade. >> our next guest says there is optimism

the former president ripped up their trade agreement, when they came into power of course, that was nafta been replaced with the usnca. they are encouraged by what they say -- usmca. they are encouraged by what they see our warmer relations between the three individuals. that is what you hear from foreign officials from canada and mexico. they want to make the ties even more integrated. on the heels of this meeting, officials came to a new migration policy -- provisions of that policy, we are the u.s. is going to allow a certain number of people in from certain countries but mexico would absorb them if they don't go through the u.s. protocols and they just show up to the u.s. mexican border. they will likely tout that as a win. we spoke to canada's trade minister. they want trade policy to be more integrated. yes there are disputes, when you look at the numbers, it's about $3 million worth of goods every second these three countries are trading between each other. >> bloomberg's washington correspondent, annmarie hordern. coming up next -- insights from bloomberg enf. the price of solar,

nafta was the greatest trail of the american working class.got fundraising parity with the republican, we became one corporate duopoly. that, unfortunately, is the problem. on certain issues, the democrats tend to be liberal. on major issues like wholesale surveillance, the new york about the largest military budget since world war ii. this whole within ukraine, i think all told it is about $100 billion, and what is the goal? it is quite clearly to degrade russian military and potentially overthrow vladimir putin. it is a very cynical policy, as all proxy wars are. the democrats are full partners, as they have been for a long time. they are unaccountable. anybody who has looked at past empires, the german empire, anything else will recognize. i have studied classics at harvard, same with the roman empire. at the end, there is malnutrition and hunger in the streets of rome and you have this elite, and then you have the one million men of men. the elite within the military auctioning off to the highest bidder. we are following that trajectory. t

that's the combination between the united states, canada, and mexico, which is what nafta, which is what that's what we do, moving those vehicles back and forth, if it's manufactured here you get 3750. you get the first 3750 if the selection of all the rare earth materials are selected from either north america or countries that we have a free trade agreement. and the reason that's done, we want to make sure that we have a secured channel for these rare earth minerals it takes to process and manufacture the battery. so the processing, as far as the selection of the rare earth minerals have to come from either north america or our free trade agreement countries. that gives us a solid supply. we're not dependent on china, russia or any other nation that does not have our best interest, that is not a democracy, does not have the same beliefs we have for human rights and everything else we do right. we have that first and then basically it has to be manufactured in north america. then you get the other 3750. we use the 75 hundred dollars as the character, to reimplement ourselves into the ma

this is a momentous achievement for nafta, for democrats, for republicans, for the nation, for the world. it's a huge step forward for sending our astronauts back to the moon and then to mars. so, on behalf of my colleague dr. babin and all of our members of the space subcommittee, i want to congratulate all of those and nasa, and this industry, and international partners, on this historic artemis one launched. that will send a run on a test flight journey to the moon and back. now, we get to turn to another thrilling success. good, morning and welcome to today's hearing on unfolding that universe. and michelle science results from the james webb space telescope. i want to welcome our esteemed panel of witnesses. and you are joining us in person. which is a rarity in the last two and half. years it is very exciting. most of us are here in person we're watching it online, have seen the of inspiring images that the james webb space telescope. the turnout show a, nebula kozma cliffs, stiffens quintet, just to name a few. the visual impacts of g w s t's images alone, with the unprecedented c

the other 3,750 is if you manufacture the battery in north america because of our nafta agreement inc we had for a long time, disruptive flow back and forth. that way we're guaranteed we're going to have a manufacturing base and continue the long heritage and the long basically support that we have that we can have control of our own destiny in our transportation mode. that's all. that's all this bill was doing. the bill is being characterized so many different ways but it's truly an energy security manufacturing bill. and i can assure you, just coming back and talking to the europeans, they are extremely challenged and upset that basically america, the united states with one leap jumped over everybody into first place and so far ahead of doing something and bringing manufacturing back, being self-sufficient and self-dependent. that's what this does. and we fixed that. we fixed all of that. and then the treasury, failing to issue guidance that puts more requirements, and what they're doing, they issued guidance by law. the bill said by december 31. they're in violation. they don't ha

if you look back at built-ins administration, nafta, that is where most of this crap started.s past that, that is not true. there is no weight there public's could have passed that. they did not have the numbers to do it. the democrats had to have help them. host: talking about and after the air. the president meeting this week with the president of mexico, of canada, how much influence does china have on our neighbors to the north and south the yucca -- north and south? guest: some might say it is easier because of the fact that there are more chinese immigrants in canada then there are in u.s., proportionally speaking. it's always easier to influence china relations overseas because they read chinese language newspapers. for newspapers in chinese language and it is what makes canada an easier target than the u.s. when it comes to mexico, it is similar to other south american countries guest book about, it is on -- it is similar to the others we spoke about. left to watch how the development goes. host: to join the conversation. republicans, 202-748-8001. democrats, 202-748-8

>> upgrade to nafta.he house and nancy pelosi and president trump and his team and came together and reached agreement. everybody was pleased. within that agreement, there is criteria focusing on mexico and labor and environmental standards. treatment of workers and so fo forth. there are questions if they are abiding by that agreement. fair warning to everybody. within the agreement, there was a six-year look at the agreement and in six years, all three countries have to sign back on to extend the agreement. that six years is in 2026. so, look, that's coming up soon now. we have a presidential race. it could be a topic in the presidential race. people need to take this seriously. it is a strong message that there are other pathways we don't want to go down. if we can't resolve the disputes, we could find ourselves in an annual review starting in 2026 >> are you ready for another ambassadorship soon? where were you ottawa a nice house hard work or a lot of entertaining i'm asking for a friend. i have my e
