steve israel from new york. tragedy like these. vickie kennedy, the widow of the late senator ted kennedy. and joe biden was very close to ted kennedy. when ted kennedy passed away joe biden would tell the story about how when his own wife and daughter were killed in that accident in 1972, joe biden had considered renouncing his election to the senate basically saying i just won the election, i've lost my family here, i don't want to serve in the senate. he said it was ted kennedy who talked him out of that. it was ted kennedy who came to visit him in the hospital. and again, i think we have christina with us down in washington. and again, just reading off those names, christina. just speaks to -- to get mitch mcconnell and harry reid. we never get them together anywhere in the political context, but here they are together today. >> yeah. that list you read the white house released that as a list of attendees. i was curious if that was the fullest, because you noticed there's only one republican on there, mitch

it was very significant after the meeting steve israel, a top lieutenant for the minority leader nancy pelosi, democrat from new york, thought the president moved votes. i asked israel was it enough? he said it's unclear. i said what did the president say in the closed door caucus, he said there were no talk points. he was authentic, passionate and you could tell from the body language he was making movements. and what we're going to have in a couple of minutes, this is a two-step process. first up is trade adjustment assistance, this is near and dear to democrats, it helps people in businesses and get affected in an adverse way by trade pacs. if that does not pass you never get to the actual framework, the so-called tpa, the trade promotion authority that the president wants. kevin mccarthy said we're not going to do that. you have a weird dynamic who democrats like taa because they're all about that but at the end of the day, they don't want to pass the underlying trade pact here. they're going to vote against taa to short circuit the entire process, that is remarkable and remarkable

change, for steve king republican of iowa another provision would prohibit future trade deals from loosening immigration laws or expanding visa access. representative prioritizing trade with israel and encouraging u.s. from boycotting the firm or sanctioning the jewish state. >> i would agree with all those provisions. the legislative process has forever been one where individual members of congress have input. you know there used to be a time in this city with earmarks and the like where somebody might get a bridge built in their district or a road built in their district or some kind of new museum built to support all kinds of different bills. obviously republicans have reform that had. and we don't have that process now. the legislative process is always one of a complicated set of issues. this is a really important legislation to get past. i encourage -- i'm encouraged by our leadership's effort to get that done. >> so it's okay but to add these unrelated provisions if you will? >> i wouldn't say they're unrelated. i mean for example, i want to have trade agreements that we make sure doesn't bring -- standards on climate change. i want to make sure that the trade agreement i
