Not immune. This is about two hours. People come to order. Without objection, with recent subcommittee it is time. I recognize myself for an opening statement. On july 11, President Trump tweeted it would be bad for him politically if schools opened before the november election. The threat that he would cut off funding if not reopened. Yesterday he said, and i quote, my view is schools should open. It will go away like things go away and schools should be open. The president position of how to reopen schools to paraphrase the press secretary, for science to stand in the way. I fundamentally disagree.

Two of my grandchildren school age and i know they are feelin
Schools should open. This thing is going away. Things go away like away and my view is schools should be open. The decision about how to reopen schools as a political dispute about his own reelection, and to paraphrase his press secretary, he is refusing to let science stand in the way.

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. We believe the other trade deals this president has negotiated will add to that number and help and do a lot of
