In fact in now I'm just kinda looking in. 01:40.710 --> 01:44.260 We're is cheapy a awesome wanna my staff pointed out that when 01:44.260 --> 01:49.460 it let's take a mock up on in the house in 2002 I was one of 01:49.460 --> 01:51.860 25 democrats who voted for. 01:52.850 --> 01:55.810 That is not a huge number I do not remember how many democrats 01:55.810 --> 01:58.830 rim house. But I guess sort of kinda two hundred. 01:59.380 --> 02:03.600 Sending them announced. It's not a lot of democrats and why a 02:03.600 --> 02:08.070 was that I have because the politics of voting for trade for 02:08.070 --> 02:12.070 a democrat and obviously now for some republicans to are very hard. 02:12.660 --> 02:18.160 And time I knew I'm going to dance of that ally Labour unions 02:18.160 --> 02:22.460 were not gonna be happy about it and They heimer percent. 02:23.120 --> 02:27.820 Uh I'm sure now in good than a high number of my constituents 02:28.310 --> 02:32.630 but I felt in I feel that the politics of trade for the U.S. 02:32.630 --> 02:37.120 are positive and then trade bills jobs out contrary to what some 02:37.120 --> 02:41.300 claim and that we either have a choice to be in the world economy 02:41.550 --> 02:42.130 or not. 02:42.670 --> 02:46.260 And I think not is a worse choices for it sounds like the arguments 02:46.260 --> 02:47.370 around iran could. 02:48.300 --> 02:52.430 It had a a it do we want to do a deal or not the which in in 02:52.430 --> 02:55.850 which ways to play out better and iraq on that by the way. 02:55.850 --> 02:59.700 I came I come out for doing a good deal are good nuffield um 02:59.700 --> 03:00.740 but it's the same thing here. 03:01.250 --> 03:05.090 And doing a good naff trade deal is better then not doing in 03:05.090 --> 03:10.240 trade deal ansell at any rate cheapy eighth was passed um the 03:10.240 --> 03:14.080 early and it's I don't remember the vote in 2002 it has since 03:14.080 --> 03:17.430 expired in here. We are it can we've seen this movie and number 03:17.430 --> 03:17.970 of times. 03:18.980 --> 03:21.910 But I say died this time the stakes are even higher. 03:22.490 --> 03:26.290 Um maybe there would be something called permanent EPA. I doubt 03:26.290 --> 03:28.010 it but I was part. 03:28.700 --> 03:32.640 Of the plot in congress in the late nineties off or permanent 03:32.760 --> 03:35.110 that trading. I'm relations with china. 03:35.840 --> 03:38.760 Um that was another hard about that I voted for that and I think 03:38.760 --> 03:42.200 it's much better dead than just an east fire every decade or 03:42.200 --> 03:46.740 so in a break. I'm here's what I know about this and I'm sure 03:46.740 --> 03:51.240 you can talk to people were current and I am on a um but but 03:51.300 --> 03:55.920 here is what I know Baptist and debt. I'd know that. Um. 03:58.160 --> 04:01.340 This. This year is the critical time to do this. 04:01.870 --> 04:06.190 If we don't do it this year um tee pee pee wee choose. 04:06.880 --> 04:10.530 Almost completed and again someone else can try you while in 04:10.530 --> 04:12.500 details we don't do it to sheer. 04:13.050 --> 04:14.520 Out TV PE or at least. 04:15.040 --> 04:16.950 Any role we play in cheapy pee. 04:17.750 --> 04:23.730 I think is current in any claim we had to Ivory balance. I relationships 04:23.830 --> 04:26.820 in asia which is what the evidence. 04:27.410 --> 04:30.990 I'm becomes much harder up. I also think if we don't do with 04:30.990 --> 04:31.550 this year. 04:32.080 --> 04:37.220 Um the but the negotiations on TJ AMC with europe. Which are 04:37.220 --> 04:38.830 less foreign anything against. 04:39.360 --> 04:44.080 How slow down or maybe fate out and again I think that TJ up 04:44.430 --> 04:49.410 is in no other building block in terms of shoring up the United front. 04:49.410 --> 04:50.460 We half against. 04:51.170 --> 04:53.370 And a different threat which EU's russia. 04:53.950 --> 04:58.870 And so I think that tpc a is the crucial element to enabling 04:58.940 --> 05:04.300 ass to get to the stand we have the make a major in flushing 05:04.620 --> 05:06.480 getting asked to conclude these deals. 05:07.010 --> 05:14.410 And um I think not doing these deals are is very bad for um C 05:14.410 --> 05:19.650 asked that our ability to project influence in the world and 05:19.650 --> 05:23.040 it's not just bid for economic relationship. It's bad for security 05:23.040 --> 05:25.400 relationship because they're totally intertwined. 05:25.950 --> 05:31.010 Um so that would be kind of point one point two I see a Clear 05:31.040 --> 05:35.620 economic advantage for us twenties sandy security an international 05:35.620 --> 05:37.880 advanced ras economic vanished home. 05:38.600 --> 05:40.710 From trade and exports. 05:41.570 --> 05:45.720 All I do president obama a lot of credit for focusing on exports 05:45.750 --> 05:47.010 exports bill jocks. 05:47.540 --> 05:51.150 And then cases in been made. Well enough but it needs to be made. 05:51.690 --> 05:54.670 That way and companies can export the high year people. 05:55.190 --> 05:59.120 And hiring people in america is something we're all in favor 05:59.120 --> 06:01.240 of obviously economies improve tier. 06:01.830 --> 06:07.530 Um but I think in it and the V see value of exports to us Jobs's. 06:07.590 --> 06:12.380 Absolutely clear a and we should never underestimate it. I and 06:12.410 --> 06:16.790 I I I E sink for their dad um. 06:17.800 --> 06:23.860 The obama's willingness in its in it iss 2016 budget to increase 06:23.860 --> 06:28.300 trade adjustment assistance by 50% goes out from an like six 06:28.300 --> 06:32.770 50 to nine 50 million dollars in net 26teen budget. 06:33.460 --> 06:40.900 Potty as a tool that as yet has not. In um if if if effectively 06:40.900 --> 06:45.330 use to are effectively and not used to make sure it's of it but 06:45.330 --> 06:50.790 I I I suggested to the administration that they um makes clear 06:50.790 --> 06:56.510 where or two members of what a T a aid could mean um to people 06:56.540 --> 07:01.570 in their destruction were threatened by a Mac exports and I E 07:01.960 --> 07:04.960 but I think it's a win-win I think exports bill jobs. I think 07:04.960 --> 07:11.200 tea a bills jobs to and I'm less common in the th. I think th 07:11.260 --> 07:15.770 they used to pop skilled people who also collided. 07:16.310 --> 07:20.990 The part of the export market is set is a when when I'm in their 07:20.990 --> 07:26.280 skills mean that have people get higher pay and people with higher 07:26.280 --> 07:32.030 pay a hot and they're steals. I'm are obviously there are for. 07:32.590 --> 07:34.940 Enhancing the economy and icing cac. 07:35.780 --> 07:38.940 I think we haven't put all is together as well as we might sell 07:39.330 --> 07:44.110 in conclusion. I I think EPA's crucial for us influence in a world. 07:44.400 --> 07:47.890 It's an economic issue anissa security issue. And I think that 07:47.890 --> 07:49.950 teat eight as an added. 07:50.520 --> 07:56.380 To roll I helps on its on its own merits. But also is a way to 07:56.410 --> 08:01.420 help get keep pete date passed by congress and I have no idea 08:01.740 --> 08:05.680 how many democrats or republicans are are are are are. 08:06.470 --> 08:10.860 Definite about an issue of but I think at the moment uh we're 08:10.860 --> 08:15.770 not fair and I was reading um I guess this is the washing to 08:15.770 --> 08:19.600 and I don't office customer time-stressed article over the weekend 08:20.030 --> 08:23.900 counting on widen to help deliver trade deal. Uh. I think a lot 08:23.900 --> 08:24.850 of it comes down to it. 08:25.700 --> 08:29.850 The skillful iran wine is and how brace see this as a new chairman 08:29.880 --> 08:31.280 I'm a fan. 08:31.830 --> 08:36.940 Of the relevance senate's committee I and um it also the case 08:36.940 --> 08:41.840 was unjust and I held by McConnell moving on it swiftly time 08:41.980 --> 08:42.950 to try to put. 08:43.670 --> 08:48.840 That SD stefan the for a Mac and in basically cutting out to democrats. 08:48.840 --> 08:54.130 So I'm hopefully that will repair widen will be skillful and 08:54.130 --> 08:57.730 their we'll beat of the right deal for the right cheapy in at 08:57.730 --> 09:01.420 will pass and I think it would be eight an enormous accomplishment 09:01.630 --> 09:04.900 for both parties fennel seed assists in obama when I see this 09:04.900 --> 09:09.560 is an American when and just unfortunately almost never do we 09:09.560 --> 09:13.890 ever see things and that was terms um. So I have a some questions. 09:15.500 --> 09:20.200 Folk so please of identify yourself. There are let the and of 09:20.200 --> 09:22.990 Denver headmaster questions of folks in new york a step up to 09:22.990 --> 09:24.840 the podium and whoa calling you. Enter. 09:28.070 --> 09:31.060 Earning matters staff opprobrium with your amuse stupid television. 09:31.700 --> 09:36.830 Um you you're kind of deluded to a opposition in this country 09:36.830 --> 09:39.860 to the trade deals when you mentioned trade unions. 09:40.410 --> 09:44.200 Um how all focus on all needed to give them a. 09:44.840 --> 09:49.640 Negotiations there seem to being um. There's this is an open 09:49.690 --> 09:54.260 opposition in on both sides of the Arctic for britian the same reasons. 09:54.800 --> 09:56.570 I can sort of understand why. 09:57.230 --> 10:00.820 Try says were to negotiate trade agreement with um.

I've I would be surprised. 12:51.140 --> 12:54.860 If that were true but she's again will much cluster to with and 12:54.860 --> 12:58.140 I am and she is to work it us see are inching may now things 12:58.140 --> 12:58.940 that I don't know. 12:59.480 --> 13:03.160 But if they conclude any agreement is not ratified by the senate 13:03.470 --> 13:04.970 the us is not in the graema. 13:05.720 --> 13:08.690 And and that's was talking about I think that the world. 13:09.200 --> 13:13.970 Um could potentially leave a south and I guess very harmful to pass. 13:14.530 --> 13:19.630 Up I don't I don't think this is a at a time when I'm if the U.S. 13:19.630 --> 13:20.500 doesn't play. 13:21.130 --> 13:22.300 The deal stops. 13:22.820 --> 13:27.800 And so I'm I T I worried about dash. But the senate will not 13:27.800 --> 13:30.260 ratify this agreement is there's not a process. 13:30.800 --> 13:33.970 That enables it to ratify the agreement and no one was the senate 13:33.970 --> 13:38.840 to renegotiate the agreement. I'm cheapy baby is a place where 13:38.840 --> 13:42.460 a are things that matter to the United States can be inserted. 13:42.800 --> 13:45.200 You know the set while followed up or down and a deal that doesn't 13:45.200 --> 13:48.180 adequately protect the entire minor dozen adequately protect 13:48.430 --> 13:51.630 labor rights are you to pick your issue human trafficking and 13:51.710 --> 13:55.680 protect against human trafficking or and GM always there and 13:55.770 --> 13:58.570 I'm making a case for what you can pride and you know in their 13:58.570 --> 14:01.640 half to be reports on a regular basis a calmer solid stuff. 14:02.110 --> 14:06.940 But doubts were along.

I don't 15:05.780 --> 15:10.270 quite understand when you say that exports us exports are a threat 15:10.320 --> 15:14.210 tear us labor. Why would that be I would think us exports would 15:14.240 --> 15:15.850 create more jobs. 15:16.490 --> 15:19.700 I the Nikki and I didn't say I agree with that argument. 15:19.700 --> 15:22.580 That's what they are seen they see is a zero sum game. I see 15:22.580 --> 15:23.840 it as a positive some game. 15:24.400 --> 15:29.830 So you and I are green on this and up by the way a people always 15:29.830 --> 15:33.470 ask me fine as congress unless there for years ago to succeed 15:33.740 --> 15:38.830 lee Hamilton anti Wilson center and I always say no so I guess 15:38.950 --> 15:42.220 I see the people that I like which is a large number of people 15:42.220 --> 15:46.530 in both parties but I do not nests ah that and farming until one. 15:46.570 --> 15:51.420 So I newest to but I regret that I couldn't have made was the 15:51.420 --> 15:55.940 but we finally got to check an entire decade. I'm a korea colombia 15:55.970 --> 15:59.150 and panama trade agreements which was they were in one 50 ace 15:59.150 --> 16:00.230 they were in one package. 16:00.840 --> 16:04.940 In I happen to be the it in the house that night erratic dinner 16:05.410 --> 16:08.920 are when they were passing and that's the wonderful. I nest I 16:08.920 --> 16:11.150 really think this is a positive some game. 16:14.070 --> 16:16.580 Real. I should. 16:17.390 --> 16:21.070 Elite. Have to oppression sheree to shine of the for storm as 16:21.070 --> 16:25.450 step to a last year china's official jubilee all oz said that 16:25.810 --> 16:30.780 tee pee pee without china icing complete soul are you was a concern. 16:30.780 --> 16:34.240 What's your take on this of common and first one is how they 16:34.240 --> 16:38.600 viewed china years tried a prospect that cachet. Well I'm good 16:38.600 --> 16:42.380 now I can show for the Wilson center Llosa setter has the Kissinger 16:42.380 --> 16:46.090 institute on china in the U.S. noticed china is first. 16:46.880 --> 16:50.580 Kissinger institute on china and you ask henry Kissinger person 16:50.580 --> 16:54.280 always involve. That's obviously named after can and we really 16:54.310 --> 16:58.830 care about I'm figuring out a long. 16:59.400 --> 17:04.410 Uh has a good relationship with china. I in we spend a lot of 17:04.410 --> 17:07.510 time doing that and I think certainly the way the Wilson center 17:07.510 --> 17:10.340 shoot in china's for a positive and the way china issued a fitness 17:10.380 --> 17:11.410 centers for a positive. 17:11.930 --> 17:13.980 A cheap the peak a. 17:14.930 --> 17:16.500 Icy it and add. 17:17.010 --> 17:22.840 Aunt. Faces I think first-aid Citi's countries in asia plus the 17:22.840 --> 17:24.220 us class others. 17:24.890 --> 17:28.980 I'm working to get trading together but all those countries hair 17:28.980 --> 17:33.800 of large or even larger trade relationships with china. So I 17:33.830 --> 17:39.070 as I see it china's showed in some time period and I don't know 17:39.070 --> 17:42.930 how long become part of cheapy pee all self and while china is 17:42.930 --> 17:44.330 forming other trade. 17:44.870 --> 17:48.810 Regina's up my understanding is the commons from china recently 17:48.810 --> 17:50.910 are much more positive about cheapy pete. 17:51.480 --> 17:56.370 Sell icy eventually tpc including china and I think I personally 17:56.370 --> 17:57.280 think that the good. Thing. 18:00.590 --> 18:02.070 Uh and there we go. 18:04.310 --> 18:05.000 The society. 18:05.660 --> 18:07.040 Out made us edges have. 18:07.610 --> 18:09.990 They're really broad question um. 18:10.790 --> 18:15.640 A a about the political dynamics of trade in the current congress 18:15.640 --> 18:18.830 which is you know we can appear both from members of congress 18:19.180 --> 18:22.750 and from outside groups business groups everyone says trade should 18:22.750 --> 18:26.870 be what we agree on like democrat some mp some democrats like 18:26.870 --> 18:30.540 to republicans like yet. It's a bipartisan issue should be no problem. 18:30.870 --> 18:34.900 But EPA's not coming assess is we thought it would date any just 18:34.900 --> 18:37.300 seems like there's not the agreement that everyone's expecting. 18:37.630 --> 18:41.720 Why you think that's the case that are you I'm really optimistic 18:41.720 --> 18:43.200 about it a mating. 18:44.130 --> 18:46.080 General thoughts. Okay I'm. 18:46.700 --> 18:49.430 Let's remember last 14 years ago. 18:50.020 --> 18:54.360 Uh when cheapy a pastel estimates were started. In barely past. 18:54.360 --> 18:57.640 This was 2000 to write. It was after nine 11 I'm not sure how 18:57.640 --> 18:58.510 that impacted it. 18:59.020 --> 19:02.310 Um but there was never there was a rousing and so easy as an 19:02.310 --> 19:06.680 foreign 10 years ago and I don't believe that was rousing enthusiasms 19:06.680 --> 19:10.570 for NAFTA 20 years ago. So these things are hard. 19:11.140 --> 19:15.560 And I'm organize labor a war parts of it not every labor union 19:15.590 --> 19:19.810 are strongly against saying it is a zero sum game. And members 19:20.110 --> 19:24.250 who are responsive to organize labor have a hard time figuring 19:24.250 --> 19:29.240 out their personal politics. It's arrest. To a and get seventies 19:29.240 --> 19:31.830 Labour unions a against you. 19:32.460 --> 19:36.090 Um and it was and it of outside to poor risky. I didn't take 19:36.090 --> 19:38.950 them in order to get Labour unions against me. I talked to me 19:38.950 --> 19:42.180 because I not they were the right file. It's not in it and I 19:42.180 --> 19:45.500 think they are the right flouts but as she is you remember I 19:45.500 --> 19:48.760 said I was one of 25 inches the acid to their approximately ewes 19:48.760 --> 19:53.560 and 200 democrats us to sort of can always the number in so I 19:53.560 --> 19:55.010 was in a small minority. 19:55.620 --> 19:56.480 Who get there. 19:57.240 --> 20:00.020 I mean a hundred and 75 democrats disagreed with many. 20:00.600 --> 20:03.290 Plus flats are republicans of the thing barely past. I don't 20:03.290 --> 20:06.660 know what the number was um obviously move anymore republican 20:06.660 --> 20:10.440 tended about four tickets to 18 sellers 20 facets just to the 20:10.440 --> 20:14.760 mass which is always halting from 893 republicans and of afford 20:14.760 --> 20:18.710 if it passed by to 18 and I don't know what and that was an actor 20:18.710 --> 20:21.080 I just don't know what what the number was which you can look 20:21.080 --> 20:25.170 about cell was stuffing and it's always gonna be tough um. 20:25.680 --> 20:31.140 It as a as it as it. I would yes not as as a vote in congress 20:31.430 --> 20:34.970 but it's writes up and that's why suggested possibly considering. 20:34.970 --> 20:39.290 It may not work out miss content doubt it. I'm permanent. 20:39.870 --> 20:40.710 But GPS. 20:41.340 --> 20:42.560 Time because I think. 20:43.290 --> 20:49.200 That that that would make it easier for a pass to embrace the 20:49.200 --> 20:53.170 FDA sitcom after this and um it's. 20:53.750 --> 20:59.450 GPS and have to be I'm I'm stacked in stone it can be amended 20:59.530 --> 21:03.430 mean as if there's permanent EPA and somebody says oh let's eric 21:03.430 --> 21:07.440 this I don't know what this sit as some grill new idea for oversight. 21:07.970 --> 21:12.270 Um it can be added the nobody laws can be changed. But I think 21:12.270 --> 21:16.430 that weighed created climate. That's better and uh you know I 21:16.430 --> 21:20.440 just the other day was over the business round table. We're talking 21:20.790 --> 21:24.540 about eight Wilson business round table initiative on role flock 21:24.540 --> 21:27.360 which is something that's really important to creating business 21:27.360 --> 21:30.970 climates that promote American investment and there was a group 21:30.970 --> 21:33.030 are CEO's there bipartisan. 21:33.560 --> 21:36.560 None of home could figure out why converse is making the so hard. 21:37.180 --> 21:41.310 I'm in that means if there's obviously support in both parties 21:41.310 --> 21:45.510 for doing this but I'm not enough support to get the staying 21:45.980 --> 21:51.600 out to be brought out soon and to be overwhelmingly bipartisan breaches. 21:52.220 --> 21:53.910 Again by the way. I think issue come. Up. 21:57.590 --> 21:59.480 We have any other. Questions. 22:01.640 --> 22:02.510 But it's true to her. 22:03.890 --> 22:04.890 I can have. 22:05.420 --> 22:09.450 I'm from german press agency and insurance cabbage it is a mixed 22:09.450 --> 22:13.190 reaction of this in germany to that that up to egypt which you 22:13.190 --> 22:16.400 obviously know yes there is a me one of the big issues that have 22:16.400 --> 22:21.050 a year Piazza bringing up and false these investor state a courts 22:21.050 --> 22:24.800 that I think I'm the junior senator from Massachusetts has one 22:24.800 --> 22:29.140 on I don't like the down the op ed page. The other day um in 22:29.140 --> 22:35.260 fact this was an invention of the german and a a trade data politics 22:35.260 --> 22:38.860 in the fifties that I think the very first investor state back 22:39.170 --> 22:42.150 ford was set up and then a green with pakistan and that was due 22:42.150 --> 22:47.320 in sure german investors against the lack of roles on pakistan. 22:47.530 --> 22:48.810 So that I'm. 22:49.430 --> 22:53.140 I wonder she can speak a little pet is that the courts in McCain manen. 22:54.630 --> 22:58.880 International courts of all can scare americans ages. Do. I mean 22:58.880 --> 23:01.600 think about the international criminal court and how that's playing out. 23:02.220 --> 23:07.750 And uh I don't think we understand. Well enough I'm lou what 23:07.750 --> 23:11.740 they do what they don't do and there needs to be a better education job. 23:11.740 --> 23:15.290 I was reading the stunned me that you asked ers tell more than 23:15.290 --> 23:20.080 15 hundred briefings yikes punchy. Pee pee. But I assume these 23:20.080 --> 23:22.220 have to do with sort of kinda in me. 23:22.740 --> 23:27.670 I'm not airspace of congress 15 hundred precincts. Well somebody 23:27.670 --> 23:31.500 better explain this better. I mean she hair are her objections 23:31.590 --> 23:34.780 elisabeth forms objections are getting some consideration began 23:34.780 --> 23:41.570 in both parties both parties half a kind of center intervention nair's. 23:42.350 --> 23:46.330 A pro trade wing which is getting smaller because a lot of people 23:46.330 --> 23:51.560 emissary losing a leaving and then they have a Wayne's on a left 23:51.560 --> 23:56.250 and the right which are less intervention as some might say isolationist 23:56.680 --> 23:57.710 was not do stuff. 23:58.480 --> 24:03.690 I with others a wing sick and so not a criticism I curse gets. 24:04.200 --> 24:07.640 Get some traction. So I think it. Yeah my answer you is I don't 24:07.640 --> 24:10.820 know enough about eight um I did know was invented in germany 24:10.820 --> 24:14.690 in five that I think in a city scully they're also to the european 24:14.690 --> 24:18.340 public there's no question a some unease concerns contraction 24:18.340 --> 24:20.240 there and I'm. 24:21.230 --> 24:24.560 A will seat but about one point. I didn't make in I said you 24:24.560 --> 24:27.090 know how critical it was to do this this year especially if you're 24:27.090 --> 24:28.820 writing cheapy piece getting concluded. 24:29.330 --> 24:33.090 Um but next year is a presidential years that I would pointed 24:33.090 --> 24:39.290 out to the scratch kid and I can and I don't think serious stuff gets. 24:39.910 --> 24:43.580 Don our interest unless I have seen this movie because I spent 24:43.580 --> 24:45.320 so many centuries in congress. 24:46.340 --> 24:48.930 But let me say one last thing. I didn't bring up that that's 24:48.930 --> 24:52.310 does or I could trade but it relates to mark Leopard and me he's 24:52.740 --> 24:55.850 he's beam now you see other day. You know I'm sure we're all 24:55.850 --> 24:56.610 up halls. 24:57.210 --> 25:02.090 A few somebody mendes. No I had its weiss email address. So of 25:02.090 --> 25:06.820 course an email turn kinda very far full replied but having somebody 25:06.870 --> 25:11.090 be able to do that to an American ambassador for german ambassador. 25:11.720 --> 25:17.680 Um or a any ambassador use is quite terrifying and yet we're 25:17.680 --> 25:21.570 all lucky dead even with a stitches. He said he apparently find 25:21.570 --> 25:25.690 a minute or what findings but people can't get through this lovely 25:25.690 --> 25:29.250 and he easily could have been killed and I obviously think we 25:29.250 --> 25:34.500 need to up security in and foreign like I guess he was in a restaurant 25:34.500 --> 25:37.050 there and I were talking about that I'm obsessing have pretty 25:37.050 --> 25:40.470 had access to a knife like that on maybe there was no security 25:40.470 --> 25:44.010 but maybe if there was security came to the kitchen or whatever 25:44.460 --> 25:48.700 but I mean I'm really chilling story and I'm on behalf of the 25:48.700 --> 25:50.210 Wilson center. We send our. 25:50.760 --> 25:56.250 Right. Uh there are signs of relief and that he survived. That's. 25:58.800 --> 25:59.170 For for. 26:00.760 --> 26:04.180 Not one lawyer on dead gta. So the window but. 26:04.790 --> 26:05.700 The public in. 26:06.310 --> 26:10.020 The took over this this senate minute at the palace that trade 26:10.020 --> 26:14.040 is silly scene 's that area that came up with the candidate democrats 26:14.040 --> 26:18.570 can cooperate but I think that the senate finance committee chairman 26:18.570 --> 26:22.300 had she just said that that they'll just stop came into a no 26:22.300 --> 26:26.310 bill were being introduced before april. So I wondered what what's 26:26.310 --> 26:31.390 this sticking point right now and Oh so yeah couple II. 26:31.390 --> 26:33.780 She's the peacock. Okay about like that carries see many jewel 26:33.780 --> 26:37.210 a shy guy they will do this kind of each she's to low impact there. 26:37.760 --> 26:41.630 That how how that could be a are going for like a and I'm not 26:41.630 --> 26:46.260 a trade and not and an expert on TV peer teach at the currency 26:46.260 --> 26:47.580 manipulation is a big. 26:48.220 --> 26:53.740 Argument negative against box I especially go tee pee pee and 26:53.770 --> 26:57.050 there's always been this issue back china when currency manipulation 26:57.050 --> 26:59.340 but it's not the only country that. 26:59.870 --> 27:01.820 Gets slammed um. 27:02.840 --> 27:03.880 But I E. 27:05.260 --> 27:08.430 It there's a in this article but I actually don't remember the 27:08.430 --> 27:12.720 about why hash is delaying as catches a guy who is gonna get 27:12.750 --> 27:16.920 working with democrats he in the like ted Kennedy worked together 27:16.920 --> 27:20.720 on many things. I know hatch pretty well and that's his history. 27:21.130 --> 27:25.270 I'm wide musa fairly new chair of the last cheer of senate finance 27:25.270 --> 27:29.680 was next boxers with room patchwork very well max's now armed 27:29.680 --> 27:35.090 as siri china um. So I I don't know what the april saying is 27:35.400 --> 27:38.490 um but I don't think this was held by what route McConnell just 27:38.690 --> 27:42.140 which was to announce a few weeks ago are maybe a few minutes 27:42.140 --> 27:46.380 ago teach time flies in politics that uh the senate was just 27:46.380 --> 27:49.800 gonna move for the republican only de 1000 that was a not the 27:49.800 --> 27:53.290 one says move and I guess I would put it that way and finally 27:53.550 --> 27:57.270 not everyone's said are many pundits said all with republican 27:57.270 --> 28:01.690 control of congress it'll be each egypt EPA through I was one 28:01.980 --> 28:06.430 sat on now off because I remembered the clothes fall. It's 10 28:06.430 --> 28:09.360 years ago on 20 years can I don't think it will be see to get 28:09.360 --> 28:13.700 through and I do think said peak he didn't the anti trade wing 28:13.700 --> 28:16.640 of the republican party in the anti trade wing of the democratic 28:16.640 --> 28:18.580 party you're calling to dan together. 28:19.130 --> 28:21.580 And it just depends on how big they are. 28:22.200 --> 28:26.010 And how clever they are moving can block this. I think blocking 28:26.010 --> 28:29.470 it is not in america's interest. I wanna be really clear about it. 28:29.500 --> 28:34.380 We have security interests in and and no one in trading agreements 28:34.380 --> 28:38.790 a specially with a share right now and we have a economic. Interest. 28:42.630 --> 28:46.600 Of looks were there were hair was so no sectoral wonderful pointed. 28:46.600 --> 28:49.580 Wrapup concerted thing to to determine frames your time. 28:49.660 --> 28:51.140 Thank you owe it all for coming and. 28:52.470 --> 28:52.800 Thank you..
