Forward. im very pleased to have a statement today that went out from the afl-cio. he said theres no denying that the trade rules in america will now be fairer. working people have created a new standard for future trade negotiations. i think its a template for future trade agreements. some of my members think lets not give it that much. but well see how it goes in the implementation. that means everything. and after that, today we will do s.a.l.t. that is going to be the state and local tax tha...

And so whats so striking is in this letter you see a president whos not just arguing that somehow executive party is so complete to cover all of his behavior. because if it were just that, the white house counsel could amplify that argument. the fact that the president didnt want the counsel or lawyers involved is so telling. look, this is a president who was a candidate in a debate said, well, if i lose, maybe i wont honor, you know, the results of the election. maybe i wont consider it legitim...

Template of what the trial would look like in the old senate chamber, and the democratic and republican leader had a press conference together. so they made the decisions about witnesses, maybe they didnt agree, but -- >> yeah, and although notably in the house, in the clinton impeachment process, the rules and procedures were actually adopted unanimously. so that bipartisanship obviously isnt here now. one of the interesting things, i talked to one of the house managers from clinton a few days ...

In the house if you guys hadnt been stonewalling us. it becomes circular at a certain point. >> i think what senator mcconnell is saying is that hes looking to adopt essentially the first part of the clinton rules. what happened first were opening arguments, long opening arguments by the house managers, members of congress -- members of the house who were essentially acting as prosecutors and the presidents defense lawyers. and after that, and only after that, then the senators will decide wheth...

Everything lined up. they got it right. >> yeah! whoo! >> our collaboration along with everybody who worked on "iron man" created a template for the tone, the sensibility, and the way that the marvel universe could be reflected in an accurate way to what stan lee had come up with. >> the idea of so many superheroes in one movie, this has never been done before. >> "the avengers" had the biggest u.s. opening ever this weekend. the first movie to make more than $200 million in one weekend alone. >...

Out, ive never voted for a trade agreement, because every trade agreement thats been presented to congress is all about corporate interest and all about investor protections, and corporate special interest protections, never about workers. when president trump put out his nafta revision, it was the same template. it was a pro-corporate deal that helped washington special interest. i worked with speaker pelosi and with the labor movement and with senator widen of oregon on the bro brown/widen lan...

When president trump put out his nafta revision it was the same template, it helped washington special interest. i worked with speaker pelosi and with the labor movement and with senator widen of oregon on the brown/widen language which said these agreements should be about workers and this will mean that workers in the united states and with our trading partners will see their standard of living increase, and begin to slow down the movement from corporations shutting down production in our coun...

Can vote by simple majority to block that, which wouldnt look too good for them. and youve got a half-dozen republicans up in the senate up in 2020 who may not want to be put in that position. >> joyce, i want to play something from senator byron dorgen who was also around during that clinton impeachment talking about the different approach than even the democratic leaders took there. they were in touch sometimes with the white house and their party, but they didnt do what mcconnell is doing. th...

Curb -- >> at this point were talking about peoples legacies. the votes that members of conger taking wednesday, thats the vote that most of them will ever remember. it will live with them for the rest of their lives. but no, i think that the system has shown its knotts able to handle when one party acts in bad faith, its not acting as a deterrent. thats something well have to grapple with. >> it did change national opinion. national opinion is amazing where it is. its as high as nixons rate and...

Republicans up in the senate up in 2020 who may not want to be put in that position. >> joyce, i want to play something from senator byron dorgen who was also around during that clinton impeachment talking about the different approach than even the democratic leaders took there. they were in touch sometimes with the white house and their party, but they didnt do what mcconnell is doing. they had a different approach. take a look. >> we developed a template for how to go to this trial and how to ...
