40 lower wages in mexico now than in china. The bad news is the deal that the president signed last year did not fix nafta original job outsourcing and added new monopoly rights for pharmaceutical companies on medicine prices. For a year, the president has been stalling that stuff. Maybe we will get a deal that can make a difference for people. Maybe not. The president is going to have to decide if he is going to fix nafta or equip the pharmaceutical companies. Host mr. Cox. Guest not surprisingly, i have a different take on it. It is about disagreement. This agreement will produce 176,000 new jobs, increase exports, and open up new markets for american goods. It is a balanced agreement with important protections for labor, the environment, texans for Small Business throughout the supply chain. It is a reason why you have groups as diverse as the National Association of manufacturers, to the farm bureau, even to the Progressive Policy Institute on the left that has endorsed it. I reall
There. Chinese vice premier liu spoke with u. S. Trade representative Robert Lighthizer and treasury secretary steve mnuchin. The Ministry Says they discussed issues related to a phase one deal and agreed to maintain communication on the remaining issues in the phase one talks. So, we are still very much in phase one talks. Bumping up against that december 15th deadline, though. Right. When you are expected to see new tariffs go in. Right. Thats been the big question do they do it its obvious they dont want the tariffs put in will enough progress be made at that point to say, okay, we wont so you think maybe not a deal by december 15th, but maybe enough of a deal to be able to i dont know. China trade wars are so 2019. Pushing into i just think you need to just, when we talk about beyond and impossible meat, i think you need to look into the future a little bit i just think you need to anticipate, not react. I just think it helps. What do you think happens before december 15th do you t
Quorum call ms. Cortez masto mr. President , i rise today in opposition to it the nomination of lawrence van dyke to serve on the United States court of appeals for the ninth circuit. Mr. Van dyke fits neatly into this administrations pattern of picking federal judges for our Circuit Courts of appeal without meaningful input from home state senators. The president continues to select ideologically extreme nominees like mr. Van dyke, and the white house is putting forward people without enough experience for the momentous roles they have been chosen to serve. Mr. Van dyke has been nominated to fill a nevada seat on the ninth circuit, even though hes not a nevadan. He didnt grow up in my state, he doesnt appear to own property there, he doesnt seem to have family ties, and he was only an active member of the nevada state bar for two years. Senator rosen and i engage with the white house to put forward highly respected nevadans with bipartisan support, but our suggestions were summarily i
This is the utmost grifting and arrogance. Here is a classic textbook example of the violation of that emoluments clause. The president reversed that last move late last night after a week that defied convention, dismayed his allies in congress, deepened his political trouble and raised new questions about abuse of power at home and americas credibility abroad. Our guests this week, trumps secretary of state mike pompeo, the top democrat on the Foreign Relations committee, bob menendez. Plus insight and analysis from our powerhouse roundtable with Chris Christie and rahm emanuel. Well break down the politics, smoke out the spin. The facts that matter this week. Announcer from abc news, its this week. Here now, chief anchor, george stephanopoulos. Good morning and welcome to this week. We come onto the air after a rare last night retreat from trump, bowing to fierce criticism and the prospect of a new front in the fight over impeachment. Trump fired off a tweet shortly before 10 00 p. M
Crying out loud. A, something historical already. Vegan is lining up to hear me speak and sit with you. [laughter] there is always one. How do you know someone is a vegan . Dont worry, we will tell you. [laughter] i got about 19 minutes to speak to you and im looking forward to answering questions. I want to jump right in on the theme of my campaign but more importantly, the theme of my life. I think its the most important theme of this country. Our founders were imperfect geniuses. They enshrined in our founding documents a lot of bigotry and hate. In our decoration of independence they called native americans savages and called women in our founding documents secondclass citizens and blacks were fractions of a human being but that was not the defining character of the country that has endured in the spirit they brought to humanity. They broke with the course of human events and said we would be the first a nation and the oldest constitutional democracy that would not be founded becau
