One of the things were doing to keep them is lowering our hopefullyax from 35 down to 15 , which would take us from the highest taxed nation in the world. Its terrible for business. To one of the lower. One of the other things we are doing is regulations. I thought taxes would be number one and regulations these great leaders of industry and even Small Business people who are just being crushed, if they had a choice between lower taxes and a massive cutting of regulations, they would take the regulations. Since about six years ago, 260 new federal regulations have passed. Plant. Ct this none of them probably amount to anything in terms of safety or the things you have regulations for.

Yesterday, mr. 804p would have to make more announcements like that to of jobs intandard the Manufacturing Sector that were created in this country under president obamas watch. This is good news. President has a high bar to meet when it comes to putting in place to kind of economic policies that are going to benefit american workers. Let me give you an example, the overtime rule. It was scheduled to go into effect today. It was a rolling president announced earlier this year.

Host i want to go back to the Financial Times story. There is an interesting statistic. Anelder could earn 25 hour, a robot is only about eight dollars in operating costs. In 15 years, that gap will widen more. This process is irreversible as we move from Tech Knowledge he to human labor. Is it trade . Is it technology .

He worked in that for a number of years. I understand. I was not a donald trump person because of being a teacher in having all types of students. I think we are causing problems and division in a lot of areas and i dont take thats the answer in this country. I was just at a Junior Achievement meeting with high school kids. It was on careers. This, whats the percentage of growth in those careers in careers. Person, you have to decide whats going to be needed. We have to get parents in these jobs that are going to be around for a long time to get their kids to take up jobs and get educated in areas whether its college or skills or whatever so that they can come out with things that are needed for the future. A lot of these jobs arent coming back. Kids andto get your push for the future. We cant go back. I do want to go back to the 50s and 60s. Dont want to go back to the 50s and 60s.

This is what he had to say. Democrats are in favor of infrastructure investment. American society of Civil Engineers rating american infrastructure at a d . Democrats more than anybody understand the importance of investing in our infrastructure, our roads, bridges, water systems, electrical grids. If we had taken a responsible approach to these things, Something Like flint michigan never wouldve happened. You have to be grown up. You have to spend money to take care of what we have inherited as an american infrastructure. Likeve to spend something 3. 6 trillion by 2020 to upgrade our infrastructure. Just theto jobs, not ones that create the improvement but the ones that flow from it or it up when american businesses more competitive. China is upgrading its infrastructure and we have to compete with china. This is a democratic principle that esther trump is espousing. Mr. Trump is espousing. Not going to get in a way the way of that. From the sunday review section of the New York Times, what the albright alt right really means.

Revivingsibility of American Manufacturing. Both of them are on cspan radio. Sirius xmam is on every sunday morning. Good sunday afternoon in england. Good morning. The best way to bring back american jobs is to remove the legal regulations that tie andingenuity into words then the foreigners take our Tech Knowledge he without the lawyer and without the legal regulations and they put themselves in a position where we cannot compete with them.

The South Koreans are building our Tech Knowledge he. , i had to work in a Nuclear Power plant over there. That is our westinghouse design. That used to be number one in america. This is huge jobs.

I am reminding the american is donald trump going to bring those back . What about you . Thank you. The earlier, the had of American Manufacturing alliance was here. Here is a portion of our conversation this past week. It is true that we lag far behind European Countries in particular in terms of industrial apprenticeships. They have virtually disappeared. The obama has tried to do some of that. They can be a valuable tool. Last two years of high educationu get public but you also receive some Vocational Education to lead you into that apprenticeship environment and you can earn while you are learning on the job. This goes back to shareholder value. Coststreet views this as a rather than as an asset for a company. This costcutting phenomenon that weve seen as a banking, Investment Companies dont want to make these investments. They can receive some inducements from the federal government. Until we change that culture, its going to be harder for it to take place. A little north of 300,000 job openings in manufacturing. Thats pretty normal in a healthy economy. Some employers to say some of the jobs are hard to fill. Its hard to find qualified candidates. One of the challenges is at some manufacturing is returning to the industrial midwest, a lot of young people have left and moved on. The labor pool isnt as great for them. That was the head of the manufacturing alliance. Lets go back to your phone calls. What do you do in the Manufacturing Sector . Caller i worked for general motors. 2008.

The way we should do this, we should bring manufacturing back to the cities. With poverty in the cities and jobs will help. I live close to baltimore. I would build a Regional Vocational School right in the heart of west baltimore. Electricians, your plumbers, the people that work manufacturing jobs. Im not just singling out the black community. This would be a key program. I voted for trump. I am a next democrat. We need to reach out to these communities and end the cycle of poverty. Thats my best way how i would look at this holistic league. Host this is from another viewer. No government contracts for companies who move to other countries. We have another 15 minutes.
