The legacy of pennsylvania steelworkers lives in the bridges, railways and skyscrapers that make up our Great American landscape. Repaidkers loyalty was. Ith betrayal our politicians have pursued a policy of globalization moving andjobs, our wealth factories to mexico and overseas. It has left their workers with hard apiut poverty and when subsidized foreign steel is dumped into our markets, threatening our factories, the politicians have proven they do nothing. For years, they watch on the sidelines as our jobs vanished and our communities were plunged into depressionlevel unemployment. Many of these areas have still never recovered, and never will unless i become president. The wall street journal this morning Editorial Board disagrees with the republican nominee. Donna trump terror party. The trade agenda would hurt American People and companies. His idea that tariffs are good for american growth. This is a tax levied at the border. It reduces the standard of living. April 2015 a study credits nafta with helping manufacturing industries, especially the Auto Industry become more globally competitive that. By moving some lowwage jobs to mexico, carmakers maintain u. S. Production. Mr. Trop expose the once a study citesthe same evidence that 40 of the contents of an courts from areco and 25 from canada u. S. Origin. What is your view on trade deals . Clear in tennessee, republican. Go ahead. Caller i have a negative view on the trade deals. To thisimited exposure type of information. I have a comment on statistics in trade entree. When they put up the statistics about how many employees have been hired they always say that is good for the American Economy. Talk to ani had to employee from comcast and to that conversation i found out they were located in columbia. Comcast is here in america and ity employ this person goes in part of the statistics for saying that the jobs have america but the employee is located in another country. That is not helping our economy. Host who is your candidate for president . Caller i am voting for trop. Donald trump. Because i want change. I was a Hillary Clinton supporter for many years. After benghazi, i decided that i couldnt support her anymore. Trumps standnald on trade that also appeals to . Again, i have limited knowledge about the trade deals, but based on what i have heard, yes, it is. That and the fact that i really boughthink that hes some of these companies. I think there is too much money involved in politics and the where the system is set up. The average person should have a shot at being able to run our country. When they Start Talking about people being qualified, he meets the qualifications as they are set. Its not just the wall street journal editorial, there are many that disagree with donald trump on trade. U. S. Trade of chamber of commerce, who have supported free trade, point and counterpoint on trade, responding to these three donald trump, Hillary Clinton and bernie sanders. Donald trump responded on twitter to the u. S. Chamber of commerce saying, for reasons only they can explain, the Chamber Wants to continue our bad tree deals rather than renegotiating and making them better. Maryland, democrat. Sean, good morning. What is your viewpoint entree . Trade is a difficult subject. I dont think too much about that but it is obvious donald trump has ideas that are destructive for the economy. View, weral point of have country in africa, people who are dying, poverty, disease and hunger. ,ot only is he abandoning them but that will be detrimental to the American Economy as well. Abandon going to workers in africa, thatare you saying Hillary Clinton, if she becomes the president to push forward with trade deals . Caller she would have to be very careful with what she puts in the trade deals and who she trades with. Advance ondefinitely the good trade deals that we have had. Ant too much of a expert on trade deals. If there are good things in these deals, we should definitely try to improve on them. The president made the argument for these trade deals. He is at a nafta summit originally, and he defended them. Here is here his argument. Business style job of an era when everybody was working in manufacturing jobs, and you didnt need a college degree, and is longish your work hard you could support a family and live a middleclass life. That is undermined far more by automation than it has been by outsourcing or the shift of jobs to low income lowwage countries. Industry is producing. S much steel as it ever was it needs 1 10 of the workers that it used to. This is why my pushback on both the left and the right when it comes to protectionism or is you arearguments right to be concerned about the trends, but what you are prescribing will not work. There is a better way of doing this. The better way of doing it is countries like ours that have high labor standards and high environmental standards, and strong protection of intellectual property and rule , we have to get out there and help to shape the rules so that they work for our workers and our businesses. Make thet, china will rules. They may not have the same regard for values that we care about. The president yesterday as he met with his fellow nafta leaders. Holding ain also want trilateral News Conference there. Defending nafta and trade deals. He would like to see the Transpacific Partnership happen as well as both clinton and from have a chillier approach to trading towards china. Millions of jobs across the region and across the region require the willingness of the u. S. To rely over whelming only on imports to supply American People from the clothing to the smartphones that they carry. Its all the more important for china to maintain a large trade surplus with the u. S. Four years china has exported four times as much as it imports and it continues to do so. Your view entree. Gaithersburg maryland, good morning. Trade deals are important. E keep making had trade deals they have hurt the american worker. I dont think any of the politicians take that into. Onsideration right we need to make stronger trade deals. As far as whether or not donald trump can make a stronger trade deal, is yet to be seen. Historically, our trade deals her american workers. This is from reuters. They put this out yesterday. A new study Shows Positive effect of top trade deals. A study at the request of Congress Found that the trade deals, including nafta and pass this Central American countries and south korea, loses boost net employment in 2012 over levels that would have occurred realut them or they caused wages to be slightly higher, 3 in that same year. Only a slight boost. It boosted surplus or reducing deficits by 4. 4 billion per country per year on average. So nafta which has been in place for many years. You are telling me that 2012 we had a net positive. , iavent read the report cant speak intelligently to all of the data. Many of the reports i come out manipulate the data in order to prove a point they are trying to make. I can tell you that the manufacturing in this country and having many members of my family loved them through that have been adversely affected. I think the net effect over time has been extremely negative. If you take a smalls national in time, a small snapshot in time, i agree that there are positive benefits for trade with other countries. We tend to put ourselves in the position that other countries exercise over what we are doing. We should be in the strongest position. We could stand alone if we had to. There are not many countries who could do that. You in a position of strange to leverage yourself a better deal. We are taking care of other people in other countries, but take care of our people at home first. If my family is starving, im not going to give my last life out to my neighbor who is also starving. Host if you and others want to learn more about the potential impact of Transpacific Partnership to Cato Institute today at 9 00 a. M. Is having an event with the u. S. Trade havesentative and we will coverage of them on cspan3. They are talking about this trade deal and what it would mean for the economy. For those of you want to learn more turned into cspan3 at 9 00 a. M. Bobby, in rochelle, georgia, a democrat. Go ahead. President obama trade deals. America would have been better than it is written now. Hillary clinton has a better trade deal as a democrat. Host detroit, michigan, independent color. Id like to say that they have been sponsoring free trade for 40 or 50 years. The concept is great. But there is nothing free about a 508 billion trade deficit. Those are concrete jobs that are lost in this country. It has been going on for four years, and we had an unholy alliance between u. S. National and multinational firms in china. Themfirms come in and give almost 51 of the stock to the , giving themselves a minority of 49 . They will live china run the production aspects of the job while they control the administration and marketing of it. That way u. S. Companies can buy label labor. This trade deficit, which we finance and how we finance it is by selling bonds to china. They have our debt. It is not healthy, its not good. Free do have balanced trade, thats fantastic. I hope americans will see the light and start putting some terrorist to cut this trade down the china. Host i think darrell mentioned. He balance of trade look at this graphic that shows the u. S. Balance of trade deficit that i think the caller referenced with other countries. Washburn, maine maryland. Caller good morning. I have been watching cspan for some time and i watch you in look into the American Peoples face and tell blatant lies like you are doing at this moment to deceive the American People. Its unfortunate that you take this position. You seem to not have a problem with lying to the American People. Host what are the lies . Caller i am glad you asked that question. I still want to get to trade deals. Peoples facee and say when the russian plane was shot down and you said 10 but this their driver in power said there was not a war. [indiscernible] you said there was worked 10 times. But it was a lie. Thesurviving power from sian plane being shut down [indiscernible] if you want to challenge me, i can point out so many references thet how you look in American Peoples face and told him blatant lies. Challenge me. [indiscernible] by Robert Gaylord ross senior that has all these trade deals in their, i read about this. Tuff about five years ago way of takingites more wealth from the poor and giving it to the wealthy. Host i have given you your time, less in maine, a republican. Caller trade deals are bad. Ross perot tried to warn on spec in 1992 that it was bad. The trouble is that the trade i grew up in new york, the only thing left in ida, new york, is walmart. If Hillary Clinton gets in it will be more of the same. She will use blake bill clinton on the economy. He is the one that stopped it. This country if the clintons get in they will bring in more immigration. We will be a third world hellhole. Host are you for donald trump . Yes. R i work for the power and Light Company before i retired and i was the last guy to do switching a carrier before they moved to thailand in 2006. Host how much were you making en and how much guest 35 an hour plus overtime. Host how much were they paying overseas . I did this wedding to shut shop shout up the power for a carrier. The buildings arent even there now. They gutted the industry of northern new york. There is nothing left. Wendy in maryland, a democrat, thank you and good morning. Whenr i am pretty upset they passed nafta. We put our hands up in the air and decided to just lose the manufacturing. We have no manufacturing plants today. In every country in the world says her best designers and manufacturers and their artisans to this country to sell products. Exhibits subsidize the that could he our own Manufacturing Base. We have no way to grow our Manufacturing Base because we dont have a national plan. The erosion of authenticity of American Products due to these little paper stickers that say comein china and things into this country that looks very americanmade or handmade, and retailers and distributors and manufacturers remove the little paper made in china stickers. All we have to do is enforce the laws we have on the books have a manufacturing strategy and a plan for growing manufacturing. What those big factories that we used to have, all of that equipment fits on a Kitchen Table and anybody can manufacture. We could have a manufacturing renaissance in this country that could the on error allowed and we just dont do it. Host who are you supporting in this president ial election . Caller Hillary Clinton with a lot of pride and support. Host what do you think she has set about trade deals. I believe they understand some of the problems that nafta created. I believe that any of these big, laws that we put together that are 6000 pages have problems. After we reevaluate these issues andter we passed these laws try to fill holes. Nobody could have understood what nafta would have done completely. We knew a little bit about what it would do. We could have mitigated the damage dramatically if we have just had a good Manufacturing Policy and follow the lead of what every other country is doing. Bernie sanders wants the party to take a more progressive , minimum wage, Climate Change and other issues onn they take this up later in july, the month. Both thee there for republican and the democratic convention. You can go to our website, cspan. Or did for what we will be cspan. Org for what we will be doing there. Andy free reign for isis, turkey learns its draft. Turkey was paying the price for its absence against the islamic state. The country began sealing his border last year and arresting and deporting suspected militants. Yesterday the cia director in , talked about what happened in turkey and said that there is a potential for similar types of attacks here in the u. S. Seen isil carryout and insight an array of turkish attacks in the region. Indirectly and directly. Surprised that isil is not considering carrying out these attacks in the near broad and far broad, the u. S. Is leading the coalition to try to astroy as much poison possible. It would be surprising to me that isil is not trying to hit as well in the region as an hour homeland. I think what you see in the propagation of their material and their magazine that goes out, it is exactly that. Believes thate the u. S. Homeland is hermetically sealed and that the i would guard against that. Do you think we are more hermetically sealed then we were after 9 11 . Absolutely. We have gone through great length and reached our foreign partners about how we learned some painful lessons as the result of 9 11. The intelligence, Homeland Security are working better than ever before. There is a tremendous amount of information and data out there. Some of it accurate and some of it bogus. Trying to make sense of it all is challenging. We are left vulnerable less vulnerable to the penetration. As we have seen with the internet as well as i thought taking advantage of technology, it allows them to communicate in a very secure fashion is worrisome. Host you can watch us entire interview on cspan. Org. Today we will have coverage of the Homeland Security secretary. They have been working with that terrorism. Ombat he will be testifying before a Senate Judiciary committee. That at 9 45have a. M. Eastern time and also in morning, Michael Bloomberg is writing in the opinion section of the wall street journal, saying, that terrorism fight needs silicon valley. He talked about apples decision ,bout unlocked cell phone news he said they argued in effect that they shouldnt be forced to cooperate with a search warrant, even the failure to comply to put innocent lives at risk. , the public may not be so lucky. If the government is in a of a cell possession phone and has reason to believe a contains information about an imminent hijacking, do we allow the manufacture to receive a court order to unlock it . Of course not. The constitution does not carve out an exception for tech companies. It is worth remembering that the taxpayers beginning under eisenhower funded the r and d that led to the development of the internet. We are spending the first part of todays washington journal talking about trade in your view on these trade deals. Guy in washington, a democrat. You have to listen through your phone and turned on your tv. I you ready to go . Caller sorry about that. Old. 0 years i have been watching this for a long time. You said the people straight on nafta. George bush instigated nafta. It was signed by the president. The trade deals that we made throughout the world are fine. There is plenty of money to be made. The problem is it is not going back to the people. It is going to the Cayman Islands and making rich people richer and they are not spreading the wealth around. Host robert in jupiter, florida, independent. Not trade opinion deals is overall i think the trade deals are very bad. The public is misinformed that the president wants to mislead us. They want to use globalization as a scapegoat. How are we going to compete in the United States against china and india to create the here people are hypocrites. We dont want the pollution here, but it is fine for us to import the products that are killing our jobs. Host how do you know . Do you speak from personal experience . How do you know . Caller the last 20 some years i observed it, nafta, the results of nafta and jobs going to other countries. All we want to is assembled things
