Check on this president. Staying on the message. President trump welcoming the leader of kenya as to referring some countries as shole nations. They are set to talk about trades. Will trump stay on the message though . Well start with what the Trump Administration is tauting of a new trade deal with mexico. The president is on speakerphone with mexicos president making the announcement a short time ago. It could be the first step to nafta with one exception, so far canada is not apart of the agreement. This is a tremendous thing. This has to do, they used to call it nafta. We are going to call it united stat states mexicos trade agreement. President trump, how are you . Good morning. Thank you, congratulations. Thats fantastic thing, we are working very hard and you are a brilliant representative thats sitting right fin front of me ad i thought that we should congratulate each other. It is our wish that canada to be incorporate rated d in all t. Hans nichols is at the white house. How did this come about and secondly, where is canada . Canada is north. Reporter this came about three a weekend of negotiating here just a fee hundred feet of where i am standing. The u. S. Trades are trying to get together and ironing out these deals. Whats clear is a number of things. We heard the threat from the president to canada. There is a clear threat that a candidate does not get aboard, theyll simply go alone. T nafta as we know as an agreement to three parties with seize to exist. You can go to congress with a twoparty agreement, agreements between the United States and mexico. What they have and proud of and theyre using a lot on this Conference Call to describe this agreement is what they think they have a disagreement thats going to rebalance trade between the u. S. And mexico. They dont have canada and thats the key issue here. Just one of the quick note, you recall the president during the campaign of 2016 before hes president went down and visited pe pena. He ended up cancelling it and they referred to each other in friendly terms in that made for tv Conference Call, craig. Hans nichols is there for us at the white house. Hans, thank you. Lets bring in our msnbc contributor and alley velsi vel. Well take a look at whats in the announcement or whats not. Lets talk about the politics for a moment here. President trump is willing to go ahead on mexico alone in this, is this designed to put some pressure on our neighbors to the north. I want to step on the brakes harder here and give some more context which is this deal will have to be approved by congress at some point and from the people that i spoke to this morning, it does not look like it will be impossible to do that this year 2018. If democrats take the house of representatives and we find ourselves saying that a lot, this will be a tough slot. From where im siting now talking to democrats who are run, there is not going to be a mass activiive move for coopera the president who they opposed for the last two years. Politics internally and domestically are very difficult. I just think that we need to be realistic of what would happen in a Democratic House and even in a Republican House if republicans keep the house. Very tricky politics on capitol hill. Standby for me, lets go to alli velshi now. How is it different from nafta . The president is calling it the biggest trade deal ever. It is absolutely not. It is smaller than existing nafta. The e. U. Japan Economic Partnership that the United States is not apart of of covers 600 Million People and onethird of the worlds economy. Here is whats in the deal. 75 of autoparts must be made in the United States and mexico. Thats up from around 62 in change, it is hard to do a direct comparison because right now you got canada, the United States and mexico and the deal. There are no mexican Car Companies and canadian Car Companies. The supply chain is really integrated. The president said he can just impose taxes on auto and canada. That was not true to the point that jake were making. 40 to 45 of autoparts must be make by workers earning a minimum of 16 an hour. This is really the issue. Canadian and American Automakers making less than this. If it is not a massive discount to make your stuff in mexico, maybe you will keep the plan in texas or canada. Here is what happens. If this deal goes through, theyll send the letter to congress and they got 90 days to deal with it. If it were to go through, all the tariffs they have been putting on u. S. Agriculture and american agriculture will go away. It will revert back to the status quo which is under nafta and no tariffs between these things between the United States and mexico. It is fundamentally not what the president represented to be. Alli velshi, thank you so much for doing what you do best. Josh sparrow, lets remind what the president said back in june. I would not mind seeing nafta where you make a separate deal with canada and a separate deal with mexico. You are talking about a very different two countries. Is this the way of the future, Bilateral Agreement verses Multi National agreements and what does it mean . It is not the future way for nafta. I think it is clear to get canada back to negotiations and trying to negotiate with canada. If that does not work, there is all these barriers doing a spirit thing with mexico. It is not clear that mexico is a willing to do a lbilateral deal with the United States. When the president was trying to talk today of the idea that we may have a separate agreement with mexico, you have the mexican president continuing to call it nafta. It is the president s view that he can negotiate a better deal in these oneonone negotiations that i am sure we how old like to be able to break this into a Bilateral Agreement. We are seeing other countries around the worldcoming into these Bilateral Agreements and reco reconstituting of all this. I dont remember seeing an Oval Office Meeting like this. We had a leader of another country on the speakerphone and since he is doing this sort of interview if you will. The event itself was not on the president s schedule. The whole thing seems to be fairly odd. Yeah. I think the president is trying a couple of things. He would like john mccain off the front pages. A distraction by the administration. It would be unprecedented. I think thats apart of it. You have this deadline where you initiate the 90day process and you want to do it while the current mexico thats going to leave office. You need to continue this deal by friday. The president is trying to jam canada and put them into pressure by friday and basically saying are you going to hold this up or going to call my bluff on this threat to pull out of nafta . The stock market is way up today. The markets have been cleared. They do not like the president s protective agenda and the market goes up when they think nafta is secure. I think the way the market is reading this is the president is looking an off ramp of a way to say he has greatly changed and fixed nafta. These autochanges are significant for the autoindustry but it is not a reinvestigationi reenvisioning the president can make a few small changes with mexico and canada to declare victory. It is a political outcome for him and economic outcome for manufactures and the stock market. Maybe thats where well land and maybe well get to friday and there is no deal and well be back on the drawing board. Jake, while i have you, lets talk about the big story of john mccain. In terms of his replacement, the governor of arizona, governor doocey, what do we know of what all of this could mean for the makeup of the upper chamber, the power dynamic there . Reporter it is incredibly important and crucial for republicans to have somebody in this seat in short order obviously, there will be an election next year to fill the seat more permanently. A lot of names are being banned about anybody from john mccains wife and daughter and former congressman and matt simon and john kyle who recently retired from the senate to work at a law firm. It is incredibly important. Of everything thats coming up with Supreme Court nomination that needs to be squeezed through and potential Government Shutdown and the president is looking at what could be the last two years of all republicans can control in washington and what needs to get done quite quickly and in a way thats favorable to Mitch Mcconnell will obviously want to push his agenda forward. We have a couple of days to read the tea leaves even more. Thank you, jake, always appreciate you. And josh barro as well. Thank you. Break in tradition. The white house no longer flying the flag at half staff after senator mccains death. Why . Tough on trump, even after trumps no good week, his polls number did not take a hit.

Turning now to the nation mourning and remembering a bona fide American Hero, senator john mccain, he was honored on capitol hill, flags flying half staff today. There will be a week of remembrances for the late senator. Wednesday his body will be laid. And thursday there will be a funeral in phoenix. And saturday by a National Memorial service at the national cathedral. John mccain will be laid to rest at the u. S. Naval academy in annapolis. Kelly odonell has more from phoenix, arizona. Reporter good afternoon craig, wednesday, the doors will be opened to the public to pay their respects to john mccain. The people who have been his constituents for more than 30 years will have a chance to say farewell. This begins a multi day of official event of three different cities. Mccain was a person of International Name and reputation. Here in arizona, hes considered a favorite son and adopted favorite son. He was born at a panama military base and he lived in many places. For 40 years, arizona has been home. I had a chance to talk to governor doug doocey of the impact of john mccain for the people of arizona. He is an arizonian and he reflects our independence in arizona. Reporter it will be governor doocey wholl have the responsibility to name a successor to john mccain. The politics have been complicated. Mccain have been in that seat for a long time and he followed Barry Goldwater who was an icon in arizona. The Politics Today are quite different. Governor doocey is very clear that he did not want to discuss that choice until after senator mccain is laid to rest. Senator jeff flake is not seeking for reelection. Governor doocey will be choosing someone to be a new senior senator for arizona. That person will serve for the 2020 when there will be a new opportunity for voter s to makea decision. Thank you, kelly odonell. Lets bring in hughes hewitt. The flag is fully raised this morning. As you know for a sitting senator who died in office to lower the flag and barack obama issued proclamation for kennedy and as well as justice scalia. What does it tell you or what should it tell all of us that President Trump is not issuing such a proclamation to keep the flag lower. Senator mccain deserves it and hes widely recognized for being the American Hero that he is. I am along with Chuck Schumer and a bunch of democrats, hoping they change the russell building to be named senator mccain. Hes much more deserving than that. I dont know the background yet. I know the president did not answer the question about it during the nafta phone call today. It is an over sight at best. Hughes, you dont think this is an over sight. You cant think that President Trump just forgot to issue the proclamation . No, at best, if he did it intentionally, it is a horrendous mistake and a moral failing. John mccain trans sepcends. So john mccain made up with everyone. I was playing my favorite clips of him on hi radio show, we went around and around a few times. I hope President Trump makes that move quickly. Mark, the Washington Post reports, trump rejected plans for a white house statement praising mccain. Well, i dont know. It is a misopportunity and this man is huge and most deserving of all the respect that we can accord to him. It is also very much in keeping of the personality of donald trump who is vindictive and seen as incapable of putting everything above himself. John mccain who was somebody that was able to over come bitterness and you can see that in his establishment and being a champion for the normalization of relations of vietnam, a little two decades after he was captured by the North Vietnam e vietnamese. This is somebody that puts pettiness on the side for the sake of the country. This morning, on the today show. She asked how the senator will respond. I think he brushed it off. Savannah, i am going to not think of donald trump this week and do what i can to help to make sure that john is buried with honors that he has earned from faithful service to his country. Mark, what will be the legacy of senator john mccain . Well, he want his legacy to be when we thought of john mccain, he served his country. I think you can say that about john mccain, he served it nobly and admirally as anybody. We talk about john mccain as a war hero and the years he spent in captivity and several of those at the infamous hanoi hilton. He could have left captivity sooner and his father was a admiral and had the opportunity to walk out of that prison and come home, he did not. He stayed and that was i think sort of changed his life, this life of service and sacrifice. I think thats absolutely right. He deterred and refused early release. He said you are released in the order in which you arrived or we all leave together but i am not going first even though i have an admiral father and his great grandfather was an admiral as well. Mccain was found beyond the constitutional but it was a significant piece of efforts in that area. The most significant thing that he did was that moment you just mentioned. We all go together or the order of the arrival but i am not come going in early. Well leave it there, gentlemen. Mark and hughes, thank you. Nool wh when we come back, the bombshell accusation of pope francis, he claims that pope francis joined other cardinals in covering up the sexual allegations. What the pope is saying in response. Before i had the shooting, burning, diabetic nerve pain, these feet. Raised a good sport. And became a secondgeneration firefighter. But i couldnt bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. So i talked to my doctor, and he prescribed lyrica. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. Common side effects dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs, and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. Now i have less diabetic nerve pain. Ask your doctor about lyrica. But if something happened to you. You need Life Insurance and chances are selectquote can get it for you for under a dollar a day.
