that it would be to pass tpa tpa.he harder part has gotten done. we've got a really strong case to make. if they don't act on it as early as next week, it will expire at the end of september. this is a program democrats believed in. they supported at the last time it was on the four. were not just talking about preventing this program from lapsing, were talking about significantly expanding it. >> the trade fast-track bill did they do with it wanted to do , undercut it by defeating the trade assistance bill. that is what was designed to happen and it happened. josh: i think that's what they tried to do in the united states senate. there was at one point in time a procedural snafu that prompted that delay. we are seeing a similar dynamic in the house right now. in some ways, the one in the house is easier to resolve. we are talking about a piece of legislation that got the unanimous support of democrats last time it was voted on. there are substantial republicans who voted for it today. i certainly would not rule out t

president obama went to congress yesterday to say, don't vote down taa because you don't like tpa. nancy pelosi -- she came to the floor in the minutes before the final vote and said, basically it is ok to vote down taa and order to stop tpa, which i think is the real amazing take away from the story here -- how nancy pelosi turned her back on the president and empowered her colleagues to do exactly what he said not to do. host: the package of bills does not move forward as of today. what is the future? speaker boehner has scheduled another vote on tuesday, what is in not vote? guest: it is due to happen on tuesday, unless there is some drastic change of plans. basically, it would be a vote to reconsider the friday vote on trade adjustment assistance. if traded just adjustment assistance, it goes to the white house, and the deal is done. this gives president obama and pro trade democrats to lobby supporters, and really make the case to vote for trade adjustment assistance. people who want this to take place in a democratic party say the number was much lower. they will try to make

the white house needs 217 votes to move forward on tpa but remained 30 votes shy. >> the president has made clear a willingness to stand with those willing to stand with him on the trade agreement. >> reporter: and the afl-cio asked its members to call congress today. fast track would make it he issier for the white house to conclude negotiations on the sweeping trans pacific partnership deal by preventing congress from amending it. sensing political blowback the white house is trying to three-tiered response one, having the president take it directly to the lawmakers and getting help from nancy pelosi to help tamp down the noise. two, take the case beyond the beltway and directly lead to voters and, three, lean on gop support for an overall trade deal. >> tpa stands for jobs. >> reporter: in a debate that has no shortage of opinions democratic front-runner has not spoke out about this. meanwhile, others say they are breaking the seal on what's in the proposed agreement. wikileaks, the secret-spilling website, talked about the 29 chapters and they are crowd sourcing cash for anyone who

now tpa moves to the senate for approval. that puts pressure on pro-frayed democrats who demand that it be tied to a separate package to help workers hurt by the effects of globalisation. >> we want to give them that authority and make sure that american workers are protected and we have adequate workers who may be displaced as a result of trade agreements. >> we brought together a roundtable to discuss the trade saga, including sara anderson, creditor at the institute for policy studies, simon leicester, a trade policy analysts with cato, and kept hughes, a scholar at the woodrow wilson center. >> why is the transitional support for american workers a hang up in this debate. >> on the house side it was a tactical move for the democrats to vote for the trappingsitional adjustment adjustment. at that point there was an agreement that if the bills failed, the whole package would go down. the first vote up, more than 300 votes went against it. largely that was because departments who normally support worker assistant programs vo

what if we just passed tpa? the navyn, they may be willing. it is tpp to really do tpa. i think trade is important for growth. it is important for our standing in the world today with our allies. i believe we will get it done. if we did do something in that nature, would have to go to the senate. you would have free-trade democrats hold with you both places. >> is unlikely to pass fasttrack as a stand alone bill? that option? kevin mccarthy: stay tuned. >> let's talk a little more broadly about what lies ahead. because there is a whole sequence of issues important to people in his room. export import bank, funding for highway and of the structure and the passing of the budget and getting a new debt ceiling resolution passed without going to the brink. walk through the next few months on those issue of importance to the business community. kevin mccarthy: you have to look at the first part of this congress. it is not as bad as it looks. it is not the same as the last two congresses either. i believe in metrics, and graduate school, i believe you measure where you are. you

liz: well, the tpa's been a huge focus for fox business as well.ve covered every minute of leading up to it, and it is a win for the president, but it's a win too for business leaders as you see it and republicans. but what would you say to the people who were worried that there would be job losses that accompany freer trade? you know, the democrats had that one very important concern to them where they felt that there were going to be people who had lost their jobs due to this, and are you going to see layoffs due to it? >> well, i leave this interview, and i fly to one of our factories in minneapolis that does high-tech production of the world's best technology in water purification, and i'll be talking to factory workers there and talking as i have the last many months of what tpa is and what it isn't. what it is is a lifting of standards to actually protect american workers, protect american standards. and i would always distinguish the language as i do in front of our workers, liz, of the difference between free trade and fair trade. and ameri

with tpa, there's no ambiguity, we get the tax.sified and made public once it's agreed to. lou: congressman ryan is quite something now, he wants his party to pass the bill so we can all find out what's in it. the arrogance, the ignorance of power in washington has initially displayed at least in these bills by nancy pelosi when she was speaker now paul ryan who obviously thinks he's a bill deal so big he's beyond the constitution and the public's right to know. the republicans are essential if the bills are to pass so this will very much be a republican bill and make mow mistake about it the gop will be accountable to the american people if it does indeed, as it looks it will pass. this time republican leaders are working for the president pushing to grant him greater authority on trade and immigration despite suing him for his abuse of power on illegal immigration, seeking to dismantle obamacare. the bizarre alliance take orders from the chamber of commerce and business roundtable representing u.s. multinationals and representing

let me one more time explain what tpa is and what tpa is not. tpa is a process. it is not an agreement. it is a process that gives us the best shot at getting a good trade agreement. it is a process dating back decades that congress has used to insert itself into trade negotiations in order to provide more accountability and more transparency to the administration, to the president. this tpa has more transparency and more accountability than any version ever before. it lays out 150 objectives and guidelines that the administration must follow while negotiating a trade deal. these are our priorities, and if the president wants an agreement, that he must meet to address these priorities. he must meet these guidelines in order to get it passed through congress. this tpa also requires that the administration consult with congress during the negotiations. give us access to all of the text, provide timely briefings on demand, allow members to attend the negotiating rounds as accredited advisors if they want to. if we are in session, we can send our people. finally, per

so you shouldn't just vote taa down to defeat tpa but that seems to have fallen on deaf ears and what you saw was the democrats really disregarding what the president had asked them to do and voted against taa basically to block tpa. so basically, the path forward now is they're going to come back next week and probably early next week in the next -- probably in the first two or three days of next week they'll vote on taa again under the same rule. so that will basically bring up they'll be able to use the votes on tpa, which passed, and then they'll be able to use the vote on customs, the customs and the authorization pass, which also passed. they can kind of preserve those victories, but they'll have to bring back taa. and the challenge there is, how are you going to get so many democrats to reverse their votes? and i think there's a lot of skepticism that that's going to work. earlier today the kind of the faction of pro-trade democrats led said there's still a lot of room in our caucus and in the republican caucus to get that taa vote passed. but i think no one is under any illusi

he did not need tpa to do it. the president will continue to advocate dealing with causes of climate change and the president will continue to implement many of the executive actions that he announced last year to reform our broken immigration system. that is what he is focused on. there have been a lot of acronyms today. the president will attend the graduation for the 2015 white house mentoring and leadership program. he will attend meetings at the white house on tuesday. on wednesday, the president will deliver remarks at a ceremony for loretta lynch. at the warner theatre. i wednesday evening, the president will host a picnic for members of congress. so that will be fun. on thursday, the president will travel to los angeles to attend a handful of events, spending thursday night in los angeles. on friday, the president is scheduled to travel to san francisco to deliver remarks at the annual meeting at the conference of mayors as well as attend democratic party events. additional details about the trip to califo

house did approve the measure known as tpa. the trade promotion authority, but the exact wording of that bill did not match the senate bill, and therefore cannot advance to the white house. are you following us? the big question mark, what's the next step for the president and both leaders on both sides of the aisle? that is unclear at this hour. what is clear is the trans-pacific partnership deal is dead for now. last hour of trade. let's start the "countdown." . liz: the s&p 500 now at session lows this very second. why? well, in part the massive trade agreement president obama has identified as a policy priority is effectively dead on arrival. the white house, though, at this hour believes it's not dead, just suffering a fainting spell, so to speak, describing it as legislative procedural snag in the house. the republican leadership hopes to hold a vote again on tuesday. so this is the deal. just to keep you all clear, that would have eventually connected the major united states with 11 major trading partners, including sing

>> i think before he can sign tpa he needs taa. right now a lot of democrats that supported him are at the white house even before the picnic. and we've got people telling him they need a public statement from him that they won't go through unless both go through. and we'll see if they stand up to it. the only thing he talked to us last week is how important taa was. there is no way we can credibly sign the fast track authority without the trade assistance. >> your reaction to that? >> i totally agree. the president is in a spot. and i think the center point, do we trust boehner? do we trust ryan? do we trust the senate leadership? no. it has to be up front and clear. why democrats have not only opposed fast track but opposed the manipulation in a callous way using medicare and dialysis repayments to fund the trade adjustment. that's why we oppose. it's been a manipulation and a shadow game and the president shouldn't be a part of it. >> congressman, where are the democrats going to be on this stand alone trade promotional authorit

i wish we had tpa for the iranian agreement because then we could stop it.g tpa for the trade agreements. >> the issue conservatives don't like is trade assistance which is federal jobs given to people whose job is replaced by the agreement. you think this is okay? >> this has a lot of bipartisan supports. the bill is a republican bill from washington state. this program has been in law for decade decades which is when a factory closes down those workers get job benefits to learn a new skill and get a new job. that is what trade adjustment assistance is. some republicans don't like it some do democrats like it. it is something that is considered not inside the tpa vote itself but separate. when you have a big plant closing in a town there is no jobs for that kind of industry. i experienced this. the taa says here is job training benefit do is get skills to get another job. >> it seems like everybody is running for president but you. do you miss the action? >> i am good with it. i can do a lot of good with the ways and means committee and i get to be home wit

but to move it along and it has to move along with the tpa. we are really going to be watching how many democrats vote for than it and against it. we been hearing the difference principle to vote for taa, not vote for tpa. it would be an interesting mix. likely to see a slow boat like yesterday. potentially with a certain democrats coming and helping out. it was a little more optimism on the side of folks who wanted to see taa passed the republicans don't like it but they may need to throw a few more votes that weight in order to ensure that tpa gets a vote today. >> host: vicki needham is with the hill newspaper. thank you for your time this morning. >> live now to the forum on the american criminal justice system. we should be heading for some congressmen hakeem jeffries who is being introduced right now. this is live on c-span2. >> people who work in law firms and corporations. and that is incredibly valuable. you can see it now but wait until you see what happens in the next five, 10 20 years. this is such an important organization for the
