dealer" editorial board, and sherrod brown gave me the most remarkable introduction, for fighting for the workers, and then they said, sherrod, you going to vote for him? he said, no. >> you may not convince sherrod brown, but you don't have to. >> well, but you've got to go, and they have to know that we've heard them. the one thing i respect the president, is he came from this background of a community organizer, fighting for famil s families, displaced by trade. one of the things we did to get the votes, to pass panama and korea and colombia, was fight or the reauthorization of trade adjustment assistance and talk about global ways to effect america's competitiveness, but those of us pro-trade have to be much more sensitive to the concerns of those that have expressed skepticism about it. >> i understand. in this day and age of sort of nobody trusts government and congress these days, i get the skepticism about fast track authority in general. why shouldn't -- now, frank, you are based in asia. >> yeah. >> fast track authority, the assumption is if the u.s. does not have that abili

thank you, senator sherrod brown of ohio which wisconsin is always a key state to watch.e go to ryan grim now. they're very happy fighting for this. this is an issue democrats are not embared by. not like chained cpi or something like that. they want to run on this. can they get the votes? they have 55 democratic senators. why not pass it? >> i think they're going to pass it. >> you think they'll pass. >> i think you'll see it on the floor in late march or early april, and i think they'll get enough republicans that will push it over 60. they'll have $10.10 an hour, plus throw some small business tax cut to sweeten the pot. i think it will pass. but the problem is in the house. >> what about the pressure once the public sees that it's passed the senate and the people's house shouldering it up? >> well, we'll see about that. but the fact as you said that they're going forward with this discharge petition kind of indicates that they're treating it more like an issue than a bill. i think it will be more an issue. >> yeah, but that was my idea. so i can't knock it. i'm not su

. >> joining us tonight, governor sherrod brown from ohio.ave you. >> good to be back. >> this is going to be a connection and a leap. this is just ed talking. my friend, this is about you. i'll tell you why it's about you. because you have stood up to the big banks, you've got legislation to break up the banks, john kasich knows he needs wall street to go further politically. they don't want you back in the senate. i do believe that restricting the vote with these laws are going to certainly hurt the democratic base across the board. senator, congratulations. >> what an honor. >> the bad news is it's going to hurt a lot of folks, isn't it? >> it's been -- this has been across the country. ohio is sort of always the epicenter because of the presidential race and sort of the premiere swing state. but they went after collective bargaining rights. that's why you spent so much time no ohio in 2011. they went after women's rights in one of the middle of the night insertion of the budget bill. some of the most anti-women health care rules and regul

alliance between tea party and democrats and you've got some wonderful democrats coming forward here sherrod brown elizabeth warren bernie sanders all the people that you would expect to come out and say you know this this this alliance the president obama is is putting together these are pretty strange allies he's a lying himself with alec who has been pushing this for a long time with wall street who wants to turn america into a new side of pan and the u.s. chamber of commerce if you really drill down what t p p is about tom it almost comes down to this in the simplest terms you know we used to say corporations used to be willing to go to places like say pan or taiwan get cheap labor where they abuse the labor there's no there's no real oversight on how labor's is is treated but now what if you don't have to jump in that challenger jet in fly all the way to taiwan what if you can build the pan right here in the united states that's what this is about because what it does is it takes away our. lety to make laws that you we have to we have to treat our workers properly we have to have safe work en

is that there is the beginning of leadership with a populous voice like elizabeth warren like sherrod brown like jeff merkley like tammy baldwin and others who are prepared to name names who are prepared to talk about the rules that got rigged and how they got reagan who read them and so there's a national platform for them. and people can use them and work with them to start building greater education across the country and we desperately need like the populists did which was teachers who went across the country to talk to farmers about how they were getting screwed by the banks we've got to go through that process one of the things one of the things that the populists did in a big wave. back during the populist err i mean in the late nineteenth century early twentieth century was they amended the constitution as of states and they in and they allowed citizens and the whole ballot. nation of thing was a huge wave swept across this country in the eighty's to the one nine hundred twenty s. and mostly western states picked it up because they were you know many of them were just. more you know

senator sherrod brown introducing the wear american act. a bill calling on the u.s.t to buy 100% of u.s. uniforms, from park rangers to border patrol, only from clothingmakers here at home. we've already heard from some american clothingmakers tonight. and they're saying, bring it on. we'll stay on this one. >>> and a classical musical caper solved tonight. police in milwaukee believe they have recovered this rare violin, a lipinski stradivarius, worth at least $5 million. it went missing last week, after the owner, a world-class musician, shot with a stun gun. thieves made off with it. tonight, three people are under arrest. >>> and a well-deserved honor for one of our own. abc's ann compton receiving the washington press club foundation's lifetime achievement award. four decades covering washington. the first woman to cover the white house. and, ann, tonight, all of us here saluting you. >>> when we come back here on "world news," behind the scenes for something you've never seen before at the westminster dog show. r dog show. of thwarted desire. enter the sleep nu

. >>> so what do dirk durbin, richard bloomenthol, sherrod brown, barbara boxer, and henry waxman haven common? they're soup ud. i'm sure you knew that, but now it's conclusive. they want to ban e-cigarettes at the capitol. they feel they're no different than regular smokes. notice i said feel and not think. yet they have no research to back the garbage up. they're exposed others may be exposed toiva vapor, water vapo. they're terrified by a substance found in fog. they should also ban nicotine gum, too, which are nontobacco delivery systems that replace deadly smoking. these morons claim it's all about protecting health, but they're too dum to see that e-cigarettes are doing that. ban them, and people will smoke the real thing. maybe that's the point, henry waxman wants me dead. of course, their cowardly defense will be about perceived danger. that way you don't have to deal with real facts. hence our villain is second-hand water vapor, mist. i guess it's time to rethink teapots and saunas. better not steam your pant suit, ms. boxer. think of the children. forget about second hand spo

roy blunt and sherrod brown in the senate and tom reed and joe kennedy in the house that have written those two is a true network all across the country. i am really encouraging congress to pass these bills. they are good ideas and what they do is not only help link upper top researchers at their best business people, but suddenly they become a focal point of opportunity and businesses around the country and the world start seeing if i am interested in digital technology, that's the place i should locate. if i'm interested in 3-d printing, let me go there. so you get a virtual site that can take place. congress has an opportunity to expand these in a significant way. in the meantime i'll congress decides what is going to do, we have to take action to launch more hugs this year and today we are announcing the next two advanced manufacturing companies. one is in the detroit area and the other is in chicago, illinois.
