richard trumka of the afl-cio says it's coincidental. what do you make of it? >> not the first meeting in repeat weeks. vice president reportedly had richard trumka over to his house in washington, d.c. as well. i think you have to look at that. and that doesn't necessarily mean afl-cio is going to endorse biden if he jumps into the race. if i were hillary clinton, i would take this as a warning shot across the bough. neil: to do what? >> because she has not taken a stance on the trade promotion agreement that the white house has been negotiating and trumka warned her if she did not come out against or take a stance, she could be hurt with labor. you see him meeting with joe biden. you see him at a d.c. breakfast they may not endorse in the primary. that should be concerning for hurr. neil: if i'm joe biden, i'm the vice president of the guy who is, you know, crafting all of these foreign deals, trade deals that they find so loathsome. so what makes him better than hillary? >> well, trumka has been irritated for clinton for not taking a stance on the trade agre

and labor unions like the great man himself richard trumka. >> i'm going to run part of it. i'm going to run part of the parade. this is a struggle to be able to catch up. >> i want to ask you mr. republican, how can richard trumka is okay with biden who basically backed the trade deal then out there saying to hillary, we want you out there against the trade bill. how come she's being measured by that standard and not joe? >> because he loves joe. >> joe's standard with the unions is baked in. >> even though he's with the trade deal? >> look, they forgive -- just like trump and republicans. >> what did hillary ever do wrong? >> i'm just saying, he's bringing something. he has a history that they respect. they understand him. he's one of them. >> how come hillary ain't? >> because she's not one of them. >> i don't know that we've lost -- i don't know that she's lost labor. >> i don't think she's lost them but clearly -- >> explain why labor's being cute with biden. head of the labor union walking along chuckling with him. >> why not? more pressure on hillary clinton to do wha

trumka: you're mixing apples and oranges with what i said. reporter: please clarify. mr. trumka: when i talked about hillary having to do a-plus work, i think over her career she's done extraordinary things and they get minimized. when you say i don't know whether it is good or bad and then you don't articulate what a good one would be, i think that lessens the energy that workers derive from that. they really had to speak to the wants in the needs of workers out there. and not just earners. they'll need a narrative peer-to-peer is how i'm going to solve your problem. here's what i'm going to do to create a real economy of shared disparity that changes the rules and really does make work pay. they will have to be specific about it. if they do that, i think that energizes workers. it elizabeth warren does mn nixon job of articulating the needs of workers. people respond to it. i think bernie does a great job. i think hillary has done a good job. workers have responded at those times. here's the economy. here is where you fit in. here's what i'm willing to do. then they got

when trumka was asked, he told reporters the field was wide open adding he would make a good candidate and president. biden heads to florida where he'll headline a private fund-raiser at miami dade college. >>> now to republican side over things. jeb bush faces donald trump social media war yesterday. it began with this on youtube. >> i lived in new york city, manhattan all my life. my views are different than if i lived in iowa. >> partial birth abortion. >> i'm very pro choice. i'm pro choice in every respect. as far as it goes. >> as far as payer, it works well in canada and scotland. >> for high income paper, it should be raised substantially. >> who would you like representing the united states in a deal with iran with this regi regime? >> hillary would do a good job. >> you'd be shocked if i said in many cases i probably identify more as a democrat. >> trump wasted no time hitting back on twitter. quote, yet another weak hit by a candidate with a fading campaign. jeb is spending millions on ads funded by lobbyist and special interests. bad system. trump hit back with another 15 s

richard trumka of the afl doesn't discuss it. and the minimum wage today adjusted for inflation, as i mentioned, would put tens of billions of dollars at ten bucks an hour--tens of billions of dollars in people's hands to jump-start for the recessionary economy. biden could have skewered ryan, and he was muzzled because obama doesn't want to discuss this because he might be accused of being against small business, who he's given 18 tax breaks by his own admission on the first debate. 18 tax breaks, and 2/3 of all low-income workers are employed by 50 large corporations, like wal-mart and mcdonald's, whose ceos get an average of $10 million a year. and you think this was a slam dunk, but it isn't. so i think our presidential politics are rancid, repetitious, cowardly, and commercialized. so whoever wins, don't expect that much. >> ok. so...

richard trumka is the chair of the board of directors. they have nine other union presidents on their board of directors, but the economic policy institute has put out a number of of studies showing that in states where intensity dropped the most, wage growth was slowest and studies like this, they're quick to acknowledge a points, you can't just say wages are different in right to work states. you've got different demographic make ups, different educational make ups, especially different costs of living, so you can't make this apples to oranges comparison. . this is evidence that's been submitted before congress. they've submitted it before basically this study. before state legislature testimony. i know the senator heard similar numbers when he was being asked to vote right to work in wisconsin and what they basically show is you can more or less interpret these numbers if you can see them as percentage point changes. 13% lower wages in right to work states. account for demographic and individual labor market type variables like your ed
