corporate leaders and not member congress. >> fast track authority would give any agreement a straight up or down vote on an accelerated timetable and would virtually guarantee passage of the tpp. the countries involved in this risky trade agreement are in the process of scheduling the next meeting of tpp ministers. trade representatives say the next meeting will likely take place next month. democrats in congress need to say no to fast track and stop the tpp from moving forward. and the way this would work, if fast track isn't granted and the debate can take place on the house and the senate floor, then that means this trade agreement is going to be stalled internationally because a lot of these other countries will not go along without the world's biggest customer, which is the united states. we're a big customer. we're a lousy negotiator. lori wallach is the director of the public citizens global watch, a trade group. great to have you with us tonight, lori.
