DONALD TRUMP HAS NUMBER A NUMBER OF THINGS ON HIS FIRST DAY
AND THE FIRST AND BIGGEST ONE I WOULD ARGUE IS ACTUALLY
VERY GOOD NEWS.
WELL.
DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING.
HE HAS SUNK THE TRANSFER CIVIC PARTNERSHIP.
ALSO YOU ABOUT THE NEWS AND A SECOND BUFFER SO GIVE AN
UPDATE ON EXECUTIVE HAPPEN HERE.
NEW YORK TIMES.
PRESIDENT TRUMP FORMALLY ABANDONED THE TRANSFER
CIVIC PARTNERSHIP ON MONDAY, PULLING AWAY FROM ASIAN
SCRAPPING HIS PREDECESSORS MOST SIGNIFICANT TRADE DEAL ON HIS
FIRST FULL WEEK DAY IN OFFICE, ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL SAID.
I KNOW THAT DONALD TRUMP LIKES TO ATTACK THE NEW YORK
TIMES BUT I'M SURE HE WOULD AGREE THAT IS TRUE.
THEY SAID ALTHOUGH CANDIDATES HAVE OFTEN CRITICIZE TRAIN
DEALS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, THOSE WHO MADE IT TO THE
WHITE HOUSE INCLUDING PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA ENDED UP
EXTENDING THEIR REACHED I WANTED TO GIVE YOU THAT CONTEXT IS
THE NEW YORK TIMES DID BECAUSE IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
SO OFTEN THEY SAY THAT TRADE DEALS WILL HURT US BUT PRESIDENT
OBAMA GOT TROUBLE BECAUSE DURING HIS CAMPAIGN HE ACTUALLY REACHED
OUT TO CANADA AND SAID WE'RE NOT GOING TO RENEGOTIATE NAFTA
AND I'M ACTUALLY ON YOUR SIDE AND THE SIDE OF
MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS.
THIS IS WAY PART OF WHY THE DEMOCRATS LOST A TRUMP.
NOT JUST ON THE POLICY OF TPP WHICH THE COUNTRY IS DEFINITELY
AGAINST, BONN THE IDEA THAT CANDIDATES CLAIM TO BE ON ONE
SIDE AND THEN WIND UP BEING ON THE OTHER TOUGHER TABLE,
DOES ANYONE REALLY BELIEVE THAT HILLARY CLINTON WAS GOING
TO GET RID OF TRANSPACIFIC PARTNERSHIP LIKE TRUMP IS?
KEEP IT REAL.
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT, YOU ARE SORELY MISTAKEN.
MOST PEOPLE DID NOT BELIEVE IT TOP PART OF THE REASON WHY
THEY VOTED FOR HIM IS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T TRUST HER ON
POLICY ISSUES.
THERE ARE 1 MILLION THINGS YOU SHOULDN'T TRUST TRUMP ON
AND I HAVE GONE OVER THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN BUT ON THAT,
I THINK THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WERE LARGELY RIGHT AND NOT
TRUSTING HILLARY CLINTON.
I WOULD'VE BEEN VERY SURPRISED IF SHE ACTUALLY GOT RID OF
TPP AND CERTAINLY WOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT ON THE FIRST DAY.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH THEY SHE DID IT ON HIS SHE ACTUALLY DID
IT, BUT I DIDN'T BELIEVE HER AND OBAMA WASN'T TELLING THE TRUTH
WHEN HE WAS AGAINST THE STRAIGHT DEALS AND IF HISTORY IS ANY
JUDGE, NEITHER WAS HILLARY CLINTON.
HERE, TRUMP ACTUALLY DOES DELIVER TO CREDIT WHERE CREDIT
IS DUE.
IN FACT, HE IS GOING AGAINST MOST OF HIS OWN PARTY.
NEW YORK TIMES EXPLAINS THAT AS WELL.
AND DISCARDING THE TRANSPACIFIC PARTNERSHIP OR TPP, MISTER
TRUMP TACKED AWAY FROM HIS REPUBLICAN ALLIES IN
CONGRESS WHO HAVE LONG SUPPORTED SUCH TRADE AGREEMENTS.
IN FACT, PAUL RYAN THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF THE REPUBLICANS
WAS WORKING WITH BARACK OBAMA TO FAST-TRACK THAT AGREEMENT SO
THAT CONGRESS COULDN'T EVEN DEBATED AFTER THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION NEGOTIATED AT THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY FILE OBAMA
ON IT EVERYTHING ELSE WHEN IT CAME TO SUPPORTING THEIR
DONORS THAT WERE MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS, PAUL RYAN AND
OBAMA, THE ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRATS AND THE
ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS COMPLETELY AGREE.
THANK GOD THAT THEY DID NOT WIN IN THAT REGARD AT LEAST.
THERE ARE MANY OTHER OF COURSE PROBLEMS WITH THE TROUBLED
ADMINISTRATION BUT THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
THEY GOT 90 AND PROBLEMS BUT TPP 81.
JOHN MCCAIN IS ONE OF THOSE ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS
AND HE IS AGGRIEVED.
HE SAYS, THIS IS A SERIOUS MISTAKE THAT WILL HAVE LASTING
CONSEQUENCES FOR AMERICA'S, MY DONORS, I MADE AMERICA'S ECONOMY
AND OUR STRATEGIC POSITION WITH MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS, I
MEAN, WITH ASIAN PACIFIC REGION.
LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT THE PACT WAS IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW AND
WHAT THE ISSUES WERE AND WHAT I THINK WAS THE MOST
IMPORTANT PART AND WHY I'M HAPPY WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT.
AGAIN, THE TIMES SAYS AIDS IS SIGNALED THAT MISTER TRUMP
MAY ALSO MOVE QUICKLY ON RENEGOTIATING THE NORTH
AMERICAN FREE-TRADE AGREEMENT.
HE IS SCHEDULING MEETINGS WITH THE LEADERS OF CANADA AND
MEXICO, THE TWO MAIN PARTNERS IN THAT PACT.
HE IS EVEN GOING FURTHER THAN TPP.
BACK TO TPP, THE AGREEMENT BROUGHT TOGETHER THE UNITED
STATES AND 11 OTHER NATIONS ALONG THE PACIFIC RIM,
INCLUDING CANADA, MEXICO, JAPAN, VIETNAM, MALAYSIA AND AUSTRALIA,
CREATING A FREE-TRADE ZONE FOR ABOUT 40% OF THE WORLD ECONOMY.
THAT'S GIGANTIC.
IT WAS INTENDED TO LOWER TARIFFS
WHILE SETTING RULES FOR RESOLVING'S TRADE DISPUTES,
SETTING PATENTS AND PROTECTING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
I AM NOT AGAINST FREE-TRADE AND DIFFERENT PROGRESSIVES HAVE
DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW HERE AND I AM NOT AGAINST LOWERING OF
TARIFFS BUT WHAT I AM AGAINST IS THE ENDING OF THAT EXPLANATION.
RULES FOR DISSOLVING TRADE DISPUTES.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
THAT MEANS THAT CORPORATIONS CAN TAKE YOU AND I TO COURT,
NOT TO US CORE BUT TO AN INTERNATIONAL COURT AND
THEY CONSUME US FOR BLOCKING THEIR PROFITS.
WHY WOULD WE BLOCK THE PROFITS?
FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE SAID HEY, DON'T POLLUTE IN THE RIVER
THAT GOES BY MY HOUSE THAT MY KIDS SOMETIMES PLAN.
YOU BOUGHT MY PROFITS I WAS GOING TO MAKE MORE MONEY BY
POLLUTING IN A RIVER, I AM TAKING YOU TO COURT.
THAT QUICK AND HAVE A RULING THAT ACTUALLY TRUMPS OUR
SOVEREIGNTY.
THAT IS INSANE.
NO REAL CONSERVATIVE OR PROGRESSIVE SHOULD AGREE
WITH THAT.
I AM NOT AGAINST FREE-TRADE, I AM AGAINST A FREE-TRADE
WHERE YOU TOTALLY RIGGED THE RULES SO THAT CORPORATIONS
ARE ABOVE NATIONSTATES.
TO THAT I SAY HELL NO AND THE AMERICAN VOTERS BOTH ON THE
LEFT AND THE RIGHT SAID HELL NO, WHAT ALONE ALL THE
DIFFERENT BALLS AND RULES AND REGULATIONS THEY PUT IN
THERE TO PROTECT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
DO YOU HAVE TO PROTECT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SO YES.
DO YOU DO IT BY CREATING MONOPOLIES?
NO DOUBT THE DRUG COMPANIES AMONG OTHERS WOULD INSIST
ON CHARGING A NORMA'S RATES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND
HAVING THE MARKET ALL TO THEMSELVES.
THEY INSISTED ON PROTECTING MONOPOLIES FOR YEARS ON END.
TO THAT WE SAY NO.
TODAY IT, DONALD TRUMP SAID NO SO AN ACTION HE TAKES ON
THE FIRST DAY THAT IS VERY POSITIVE.
THERE IS ONE MORE VOICE OF AGREEMENT ON THIS.
IT IS BERNIE SANDERS.
HE SIMPLY SAID, I AM GLAD THE TRANSPACIFIC PARTNERSHIP IS
DEAD AND GONE.
HERE, HERE BROTHER.
THIS IS SOMETHING THE ENTIRE AMERICAN PEOPLE AGREED UPON THAT
WE ALL AGREED THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO RULE OURSELVES AND NOT GIVE
AWAY OUR OWN FREEDOM AND LIBERTY TO MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS.
SO TRUMP ON THIS ONE, TIP OF THE HAT.
ON THE REST OF THEM, OH BOY.
