And it does open Canadian markets for American dairy farmers.

Senator Sanders, as we sit here in New Hampshire tonight, both New Hampshire senators making Hasen and Senator Jeanne Shaheen supported this.

They voted yes, calling it a real win for workers and for farmers.

You voted no, because you said you believe it takes us back years on climate with the senators from New Hampshire.

Oh, but if you look at every environmental group in this country, including the Sunrise organization, we're so proud to have their support because we have introduced the most comprehensive climate change proposal waiting ever offered by a presidential candidate. 00:00:58.140 --> 00:01:6.130  What they are saying, what the environmental groups are saying we're simply exporting fossil fuel emissions to Mexico. 00:01:6.470 --> 00:01:9.850  There is not one word in that trade agreement.

Trade deals with climate change, and I don't know how in 2020 you could do that.

Second of all, there is in terms of outsourcing of jobs, a major crisis in this country.

Nobody believes that under this trump trade agreement that they will not be continued and significant outsourcing of jobs into low wage Mexico, Mexico, where workers are paid, in some cases, less than $2 an hour.

So I think the right boat was the vote against that agreement.

I don't apologize for that, Senator Sanders.

You heard what Senator Sanders just said there.

He said not one word on climate in the trade deal.

Well, first of all, I want to defend the honor of the incredible two senators from New Hampshire. 00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:3.170  Jean checking on Maggie Hassan worked so hard for this state every day, and I voted with them. 00:02:3.170 --> 00:02:4.320  Why did I vote with them? 00:02:4.330 --> 00:02:8.360  Because there were some major improvements in the strait agreement. 00:02:8.370 --> 00:02:13.840  When it comes to labor inspections, when it comes to getting rid of of sweetheart Pharma deal that was in place.

And when it comes to climate change, I think we have to have a North American trading block.

We have tohave Mexico and Canada and America working together and the best way to take on climate change as president.

Yes, I'll work to make this a part of every future trade agreement.

But the best way to take on climate change is by getting back into the international climate change agreement, which I will do on Day one.

It is bringing back the clean power rules.

It is bringing back the gas mileage standards, and it is introducing sweeping legislation to put a price on carbon.

And you cannot divorce trade from that and in future trade agreements.

That should be part of our negotiations. 00:02:53.950 --> 00:03:6.190  But I'm telling you right now, having no trade agreement with Canada and Mexico puts us at such a disadvantage when it comes to dealing with China and pushing China to do better when it comes to climate change. 00:03:6.200 --> 00:03:9.630  Senator Klobuchar, Thank you, Senator Warren, You voted yes as well.

Yes, I did, and I'll take a fine because there are a lot of farmers around this country that are really hurting because of Donald Trump's trade policies.

There are a lot of workers who are hurting because they can't get enforcement of any workers rights.

After a lot of negotiation with Democrats, Senator shared, Brown helped make it a whole lot better.

This makes things somewhat better for workers and for farmers.

And when I see a law that makes things somewhat better for hard working people in this country, I'd say I'll sign up for that and then I'll get up tomorrow morning and I'll start working hard for a better trade deal on climate.

Ah, better trade deal that has a basic coherence to it.

Everyone wants to get to the American market. 00:03:57.440 --> 00:04:2.850  We should be raising standards on climate around the world to get access to our market. 00:04:3.340 --> 00:04:4.300  Mister mister style. 00:04:5.300 --> 00:04:12.750  Yeah, I got to agree with Bernie Sanders, and I got a senator idea.

And that's how we convinced them that they've got to be right on climate, too.

That were We can have to stop making foreign policy decisions in the old way.

We want to make things better for American workers, and it's absolutely critical that when we think about trade policy, we're think about it from the point of view off the American people, not of the American corporations.

That's a huge positive change, and I agree with the senators on that. 00:04:43.100 --> 00:05:0.950  But there's something else going on here when we think about our foreign policy that says, we talked about whether it was right t kill General General Solomon and there was no discussion in that about where that makes where that leaves the United States in the community of nations around the world. 00:05:1.540 --> 00:05:11.660  So if we actually want to be the leaders of the world, the leaders of the free world who can actually negotiate, Ah, climate treaty around the world that sticks, that makes a difference.

And when we think about doing the wrong thing the way Mr Trump did with General Solomon, we have to ask, Does that help us build a coalition of countries around the world to do the right thing?

It absolutely does not being all by ourselves.

Being the empire in the Star Wars movie does not put us in a position to get done.

What we need to get done is the leader of the free world.

But the second step is exactly what Bernie Sanders is saying. 00:05:46.120 --> 00:06:4.050  Use access to our market is a negotiating thing to make sure not only that we represent American workers, but that we represent the American people in the long run, and we make sure that we get, you know, say one of the things about being in the arena is you have to make decisions all the time, and these things aren't always exactly how you would do them. 00:06:4.120 --> 00:06:11.840  But in this case, if you want to criticize Trump for not ever having any friends, and I would agree, he always sides with tyrants over.

In a sense, he always sides with dictators over allies.

But I think you've gotta have some friends, and those two countries are neighbors may not be perfect, but they are our friends, and we have a president that literally blames everyone in the world, and we have not talked about this enough.

He blames Barack Obama for everything that goes wrong.

He blames his Federal Reserve chair that he appointed himself.

He blames the king of Denmark, who does that.

He blames the prime minister of Canada for, he claims, cutting him out of the Canadian version of Home Alone.

So my point here is that when we have opportunities to work with our allies and New Hampshire is such a great example of this a New Hampshire Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, with senators like Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan who believe we need to work with NATO and the rest of the world who sees it as a smaller state but a state that is a piece of the world.

And that trade agreement was not perfect.

But the point of it is if we start isolating ourselves from the rest of the world, we're gonna hurt ourselves economically, and we're gonna hurt our nation's security.
