In the House Chamber when hes giving his state of the Union Address and shout out you lie when in fact he was telling the truth. When you try to undo a policy that has helped hundreds of thousands of young men and women come out of the shadows, and go to school and go to work, and you vote in favor of that, then youre no different from the guy who yells out that immigrants are rapists, that they bring crime and drugs to this country. And so you cant try to separate yourself from the stick you come from. And no one should try to distance donald trump from the republicans in congress. They are one and the same. He is just an offspring of what we have seen over the years coming from republicans in congress. And so its time to change, because if youre a bystander, youre allowing things to happen, and for many people, including me, this becomes very personal, because donald trump and republicans in congress are talking about my parents, and about me, and its time for us to stand up and say this is not the way you do it, because many of us are very proud of having a Rich Heritage as the children of immigrants, and we intend to let the country know that we dont assistant for those who shout out you lie or describe people as rapists and criminals. We want to let everyone know we want to give them a place in this country. Thats why its so important to bring out the true facts about who donald trump is. He is the offspring of congressional republicans. With that, let me yield to the vice chair of the caucus, joe crowley. Thank you when i visited a local mosque in my district to show my support and hear from the community, i was called a traitor on twitter. I was called unamerican. I was told that i should resign. Thats only the stuff i can reveal here publicly and feel comfortable repeating. There was much worse that was said. But thats nothing compared to the student who is bullied on the school bus because of his religion, or the shop owner in my district in queens, who was savagely attacked by someone who said he hated muslims. Or the child who discussed me at that mosque, why does my country hate my religion . Why does my country hate my religion . When the republicans hold a vote on the house floor to ban syrian and iraqi refugees from entering our country, refugees fleeing unspeakable violence and persecution because of their misguided fear and blatant hate, thats what happens. When congressman steve king says muslim members of congress refuse to, quote, renounce sharia law, or Louis Gohmert says islam is evil, end quote, thats what happens. When congressman peter and says, and i quote, there are too many mosques in this country, end quote, thats what happens. When their candidate for president , their extestandard br calls for a ban on the entire religion from their country, thats what happens. Children ask if the United States of america hates their religion . My colleagues on the other side like to puff up their chests and repeat the word freedom over and over again. In fact they named a caucus after it. But when they not only ignore, but blatantly toss aside the very freedom our country was founded on, it makes you wonder what theyre really fighting for. They have created their own stye and now they have to wallow in it. With that i lead back to the leader of our caucus ms. Pelosi. Thank you very much, mr. Crowley, i thank distinguished members of the leadership, mr. Hoyer for not only his statement today, but his leadership on all of these issues, lgbt among them. Mr. Clyburn, thank you for calling our attention to the birther issue and the tradition that accompanies it. Mr. Beserro thank you for sharing your personal story on the contribution that immigrants make to america, the constant reinvigoration of our country. Mr. Crowley, thank you for sharing the sad tale of what is happening in your district when you spoke out and demonstrated your support for muslims. I will add to what you said about peter king. Peter king was a chairman of the Homeland Security committee, and he said this is the enemy living among us. When he referenced the Islamic Community in our country. Rules of the house prevent us from showing you a side by side and some of the egregious remarked made bed members in not an official setting, but well have that another day with other members and another political setting, because they deem that to be political if we were to show Donald Trumps words here. But if you saw side by side, you would see his birther remarks and their birther remarks, his antimuslim remarks and building the list goes on, you know it, you could put this piece together yourselves, but to help you along and encourage that, we wanted to present some of the facts to you. Some of the nighttime comedy shows have done a good job of doing the side by side. Hopefully the Traditional Press will do that as well. Any questions . Yes, sir. All your examples aside, theres hardly a universal embrace of trump among republicans on capitol hill to the point that speaker ryan made the remarkable step of not endorsing him next week. Does that less hearten you that the speaker of the house is taking that step and calling for more civility, the softening of the tone . I think you missed my point was. My point was since when . When is the Republican Leadership in this house appalled by antimuslim, antiimmigrant, antilgbt, antibarack obama, antiwomen comments made by their members. Donald trump is a candidate. These people have power. They are chairs of committees and chairs of subcommittees. They bring that vitt rriol into legislation. So our point is since when all of on are all paul to the Republican Leadership and some of the republican establishment when this happens every day here on the floor in committee, in press conferences, in an official way, and certainly out on the campaign trail. We cant do the campaign trail here, we cant even do the Trump Campaign trail here. Do we feel better about them . Have a meeting i do know this. His position is he hasnt endorsed the nominee for president. And our position is why . Some of the things have been said that this is agreed . Because these a rejection of donald trump on the campaign . Its not a rejection. They never said boo. They never said boo when their members were saying this. Is donald trump has pulled back the veil, and now people can see the connection between them, and unless the Republican Leadership is going to be as, shall we say critical of their own members for what they say its all a show. A meeting tomorrow will not chan the environment that has been created over decades, as mr. Clyburn pointed out. And radicalism is what however the country needs. I would make one other point, the young guns and possession for power, they created their own mess, now they have to wallo in it. Theyre response for it, and now its coming home to roost. As the leader said, are they surprised that theyre saying the same thing theyve been saying consistently over the last five other six years . How can they be going back to 1948 when the full change started, really coming to fruition is mr. Ryan really appalled . What he is saying is a mirror image of what theyve been saying over and over again. About the lbgt its not new. The receipt ricks is open, and she and we will expos that in the near future as well. Al republicans kicked off their campaign to begin with goldwater. Opposition to the civil rights out. If you go into the 1970s, Richard Nixon built it in on if Ronald Reagan level his convention, nully nominated for the bearer for the republicans. Where was his first speech this what is philadelphia, mississippi known for . Thats for where the workers were murdered. His fifth speech as a gnome any was in 1980. So when you see this kind of foundation being laid over time, im not surprised to see that donald trump has decided that this is the way to become president of the United States. It may be the way to be the nominees, but not the way to be the president of the United States. What we hope to do is take this to a place where we can review the past witnessed what has happened so far, but understand the country has moved on. Tirnlts i believe that the American People have moved on from this age of discrimination. I wanted to ask, given the quinnipiac poll results that show donald trump and Hillary Clinton in a dead heat in florida, pennsylvania, and ohio, are you concerned that donald trump is appealing to democratic voters . And if so, how would you explain that . Well, i think we have seen even since those polls came out they would boiled in too many im not a big fan of the polls thats going on. As a matter of fact its tilted toward a person like me, white and older, rather than who illustrate actual electorate will be. I feel very proud, of course Hillary Clinton, they have through their ideas attracted people to their campaigns. I have no doubt that we will have a democratic president. I want the public to be sure to know that i hope with your help this will be elevated to the office of president , worthy of our founders, worthy of the American People, and not vitriol and character assassination and issues that are irrelevant to working peoples lives, about trickledowns, and i think that some of this is a distraction from the fact that rye atbudget is a road to ruin. So theres a lot going on there. Our purpose here today is to show a split screen of what i think of him as ronald mcdonald. I dont know why i wonder why. Mcdonald trump. Donald trump on one side and members of the house here, and dont you wonder why and since when all of a sudden are the republican establishment is appalled by the comments . It seems the bill about puerto rico has been delayed. Are you still optimistic that something can get done before july 1st, since it seems like its the third, four time going back to the drawing board . As ive said before, i believe that everyone is operating in good faith to get a bill done. We were disappointed that the bill we saw yesterday wasnt something we could support, so another few days of back and forth i think will produce something that we can take to the store. It absolutely must happen. We have to have it in a bipartisan way for the restructuring that does the job and in a way that helps grow the economy of puerto rico. So by the end of the week youre thinking maybe . Whats today . Wednesday . Hoping maybe by friday so we can have something for next week. Yes. Well see. Thank you all very much. Stay tuned.

Gordon hansens comments came during a discussion on chinas trade practices and the impact on u. S. Labor markets. Jared bernstein a former economist with the Obama Administration also participates in this forum. Let me welcome all of you today. Im fred berg extend. I wassed founding director of the institution, and delighted to welcome you to for thick larry important and timely event we all know that trade has become a central issue in the domestic political debate. We know that the impact of trade on jobs and wages is central to that debate, and we now have with us today the leading experts on that topic of the impact of trade on u. S. Jobs and wages, david otter and gordon hansen, along with david dorn, they have done a series of papers that i think are fair to say are the definitive work on the topic widely regarded and widely yod and cited throughout the national debate. In fact, so much so that a couple people coming up and meeting them before the event said you are rock stars, were delighted we knew you back when, which i think is probably accurate. Also, i must say, very much to their credit, they have on the one hand quite objectively analyzed some very severe adverse impacts of past china shock trade flows on the u. S. Economy and u. S. Labor, and at the same time they have said but we dont dump on free trade and open trade and globalization. We think it makes sense, but you have to deal with these down sides and costs of the situation, and theyve been very clear, for example, they support the tpp, theyre not saying turn your back on trade, but they are flagging in a dramatic way, i think, as well as a highly persuasive and annual lit real that have not been dealt with adequately. Thats the topic today, dave odder is one of the most distinguished trade economists in the country, a full professor of economics at m. I. T. Since 2008, associate head of the Economic Department there. He taught previously at harvard in the university of chicago, won many awards for his work on labor economics, in 2080 outstanding contributions in the field of labor economics, and many other aawards of that type. He copresenter today and coauthor, in that whole range of studies is gordon hansen, whos professor of economics at the university of california san diego. As some of you know, we here at the institute refer to that as it is Peterson Institute west, because we have had so much coordination. Gordon holes the chair in International Economic relations at ucsd both david and gordon are Research Associatesty National Bureau of economic research. David is editor of the journal of Economic Perspectives and gordon is a coeditor thereof. Theyll make the initial presentation, and then well have initial commentary by jared bernstein, as many of you in washington know, jared is a senior fellow at the center of budget and policy priorities, prior to which for the first two or three years of the Obama Administration, he was a Center Member of economic team, as chief economist and economic adviser to Vice President biden. Prior to that jared has written widely in both academic and popular venues on issues of labor economics, labor reform and the like. So i think we have an absolutely central topic for todays discussion. We have i think the best possible authors and speakers to present new and critically important findings, without fur ado, i will turn to, gordon will go fir, david, jared will make comments and well all go up front for a discussion with the audience. Gordon, take it away. Thank vessel, fred. Its been an exciting project that we have embarked on in the last number of years. One of the things we want to try to communicate today in understanding the impact of trade on labor markets is in a sense how can we hold at the same time the belief that trade has had adversion consequences for important segments of the u. S. Labor force and still thing that trade is good in the aggrega aggregate. That sort of subtlety is something thats gotten lost in the current political debate. So we dont need to motivate the notion that trade and politics are intimately entwined today. Trade has become a purchling bag both on the rep side and Donald Trumps president ial campaign and in Bernie
