ohio democratic senator sherrod brown voted against nafta, calling that one of his proudest legislativemoments but tonight he says he plans to vote for us mca after recent negotiations with nancy pelosi. he said this will be the first time, first trade agreement i ever voted for. what is really driving the democrats impeachment push, rush limbaugh ways in next. me, get a 4-course meal starting at $15.99. treat yourself to the perfect gift today, because the aussie 4-course won't last long! and now, get a $10 gift with every $50 in gift cards. they use stamps.com all the services of the post office only cheaper get a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again. .. what are you doing back there, junior? since we're obviously lost, i'm rescheduling my xfinity customer service appointment. ah, relax. i got this. which gps are you using anyway? a little something called instinct. been using it for years. yeah, that's what i'm afraid of. he knows exactly where we're going. my whole body is a compass. oh boy... the my account app make

but still concerned about outsourcing jobs to mexico and amy klobuchar said she will support it and sherrod who has not been a fan of trade deals is supporting this one. and it is going to be an interesting political position for democrats. do you get on board with this trump administration accomplishment or go against something that is supported by a wide array of democrats and very powerful unions like the afl/cio. >> interesting math. we'll see that vote. i'll close with reminder, the 2020 political calendar is pack with consequence. a senate impeachment trial in january. the state of the union address in february and so are the first four presidential nominating contests, iowa, new hampshire and nevada and south carolina are critical for momentum with this crowded democratic field. yet, combine they award less than 5% of the convention delegates. march will then very much roar in like a lion. 15 states vote march 3rd including california and texas, then march 10th michigan and then four more, and florida, illinois, and ohio and by the end of the night, shy of 70% of the convention deleg

. >> and what is amazing about what pelosi negotiated is she has senator sherrod brown on her side whowho appears to be supporting this one. and so if somehow republicans tank this, that could also be another boon for pelosi because it's like, the house is going to pass this out and this didn't happen because of the gop and the senate. >> this was always prasupposed be the political promise, that he was able to blur the lines and should have been able to reach out to democrats and middle of the road voters. and when it comes to the china deal, there were concessions on both sides. and as far as complaints from republicans, i think what a lot of people are going to take some satisfaction in is just sort of to call that a victory. a lot of republicans were going to trump trying to get him to knock some of this off on china and at least this for the time being will take care of them, and markets and some of the voters. >> ten days before christmas, we have a detant. i've got to put some money on the table that suggests it's not going to happen very long because 2020 is an election year. i

you're saying really echoes exactly what we heard yesterday on this program from senator cardin, what sherrod brown told jake tapper offer the weekend. reserve judgment. hear all the evidence of the president. some of your fellow senators, including kamala harris and senator warren said back in october that they would vote to convict the president. is that a mistake to pre judge? >> look, every center has to make their own determination about how they approach this process. this is going to be a trial and we are serving as jurors. so we've got some work to do prior to that. but then as we're sitting there, and i think maybe a lot of americans may not realize how different this will be than the house process. we will be silent. >> you can't talk. you have to write your questions for witnesses. >> correct. that's correct. >> so it will be a different process. what folks will see on the senate floor for the most part is not hearing from the chief justice or the senators. it will be the house managers making the case. we don't know how many of those managers will have. and then the president's de

sherrod brown, never voted for trade bill anderson says this is something i think i can't embrace and support and vote for. if you were the president, would you sign that bill? tom: let me say this, if i were the president i would never have negotiated that bill. let me explain why. i understand the point about workers, organized labor, and what actually went into that bill to make it acceptable to union leaders around the country. let's talk about how trade works in the real world. what is ended up trapped happening with trade bills is it has been good for gdp, but we have looked at trade bills in terms of gdp instead of that. and also who is benefiting from gdp and what the impacts are in , terms of the different people in society and that's why unions were screaming about nafta. it may be good for the corporations and gdp, but it's going to hurt working people and the united states. that's what the fight was about in terms of usmca. that in fact, what we've seen focusing on gdp, which we've done for the last 40 years, has an implicit assumption in it that gdp is shared equally betw

you saw sherrod brown and ron wyden come out, who have been been very progressive on trade.od brown has never voted for a trade agreement in his very long congressional career, saying that they support it. there seems to be a pretty ulletproof bipartisan accord in favor of this. there is one hiccup i should mention. over the weekend we heard there was grumblings from the mexican government they didn't like some particular provisions that were written into this that i guess the agreement hadn't been fully vetted or the language hadn't been fully vetted. that's something we're looking to see whether that gets resolved or turns into a sticking point that could put a cloud over everything later this week. host: joseph, california, independent. caller: good morning, greta. host: good morning. caller: been with you guys since 1978. anyway, two points, and both have to do with the constitution. the first thing is the problem that we're having here is it depends on what's in the president's mind. what was his intention? and nobody knows that. so the people who support the president
