And for americas workers. Under the u. S. Mexico canada agreement, more than 4 Million Manufacturing jobs will be regained that were lost under nafta. This will be a huge influx of american jobs that were lost under the failed nafta trade deal that went into effect. In addition, tens of thousands of manufacturing plants were lost because of nafta. We want to bring those on shore. And the usmca will go a long way and bringing back those manufacturing plants and those millions of jobs that were lost under nafta. Nafta was a bad deal for the American Worker because it left behind. Workers many politicians forgot the damage wrought by disastrous trade deals such as nafta. But President Trump did not forget. It took this president to change the status quo, renegotiate nafta, and secure a better deal worker. American and heres why. The usmca alone will create 176,000 american jobs.

Because i think one of the big issues that were going to see as a result of this aside and away from host having audio issues. Let me direct your attention to the Washington Post sunday opinion section. A long list of other people whether at a walmart playing in a park, a traffic stop, already arrested or a car breaks down all who were killed at the hands of Police Inside the Washington Post. Robert from greenville, north carolina. Caller as far as the Police Departments, the fraternal order of police and the Police Unions as long as theyre running the show were going to have these problems because they have too much, they just favor Law Enforcement to the degree where theres officers on the force that have had 10, 15, 20 writeups and theyre still on the force, and if you are in the real workplace that wouldnt happen.

We will circle back. Next, from the daily news. Good morning, everyone. Xt we whave n frth ily ws. Reporteod mornin everyon. Unmuted so i can ask a followup, with that hold on. Were working on the ground rules and we let us do that formally. We will announce it shortly. Stay to the format we have. If you want to do just one, that is your choice. I will dive in.

Why didnt the nypd allow peaceful protests to run their course all week instead of doing crackdowns that resulted in Peaceful Protesters getting injured . Lots of arrests. Second question, on enforcement of vendors, i did not see any hear any activists even mention that this week. Critics will say, you are going for a relatively easy fix while ignoring calls for a major budget reduction. What would be your response . Thank
