have said that they are coming non-union alike is rising wages, investing in american manufacturing and investing in american workers, closing, down for the union vote both trump and vance are in the rust belt today talking about the economy in manufacturing in key battleground states ahead of labor day all right 6:00 a.m. here in washington. >> a live look at the washington monument, the white house is in there somewhere. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. there are just 68 days until election day and tonight at 9:00 p.m. a. cnn

exclusive, kamala harris and tim walz will sit down for their first joint the interview as the democratic ticket i appreciate that that's stopped for barbecue in savannah, georgia, where they are going to continue their bus tour. the big question, of course, for the harris campaign can they put georgia and the rest of the sunbelt states back in play for democrats. if they can, they will open so many more paths to 270 electoral votes. remember biden unexpectedly flipped georgia in 2020, but he was badly trailing there earlier this summer now, we have this new fox news poll. it shows trump and harris neck neck-and-neck, not just in georgia, but also in the sun belt states of arizona and nevada, north carolina. if you take a look at the same fox news polls taken earlier in the year, while president joe biden was still in the race, trump was the clear favorite, five to six point lead safely outside the margin of error so then

trump was winning. now, it's basically tied sources. i've talked to you in both parties say that kamala harris hasn't nailed these states down yet especially georgia and the big question is whether she can they do say she has an opportunity that biden never had and trump seems to be quite aware of it because he is suddenly trying to end a long-standing feud with the state's republican governor brian kemp. this as georgia's republican governor, who he had mocked on stage at a rally earlier this month. >> he's a bad guy. he's a disloyal guy, and he's a very average governor. >> little brian, little brian kemp bad guy but think of it. i got this guy. >> just think late last week though, camp got a public thank you. >> from trump. >> today. campbell co headline a fundraiser for the republican can nominee, a show of unity reportedly made possible with some assistance from the republican vice presidential nominee, j.d. vance the president has some personal disagreements with brian kemp and brian kemp has some

personal disagreements with the president, but they're both big enough to put the country over personal interests. >> donald trump, despite the fact that he has disagreements with another number of people who have endorsed him. he's willing to say, we are the big tent party we stand for common sense and sanity, and we've got to kick that in insane politician and kamala harris out of the white house. we're going to do what donald trump loves to do to people who don't do their jobs. you are fired. kamala harris, you're out of there. it's done all right joining me now to discuss stephen collinson, cnn politics senior reporter kendra barca, former press secretary for joe biden during his vice presidency. sarah longwell, republican strategist and the executive director of the republican accountability project and mike dubke, former trump white house communications director. >> welcome to all of you. thank you so much for being here. >> good morning. >> sarah longwell, actually start with you. these are registered voters. that's fox news poll. i think it's most interesting because it shows the movement in the race from biden-harris across the sun belt. and it really will change the conversation about the path to 270 if she can get these states in play, you're talking

to voters all the time. what is it about this region of the country? north carolina's also now in play. what are voters telling you about what she needs to do to actually convert this? yeah. i mean, look, here's what's happened. joe biden for a long time, he was lagging with his own base of voters, right? i mean, i was talking to sort of soft democrats all the time who just thought biden was too old. and so kamala harris and this is it's almost been miraculous, but you he's put that coalition back together in a matter of a month. and so now you're in the persuasion part, right? where she's got to figure out how to get to swing voters who you know, what i've heard from voters about kamala harris. now for years is they're like, why don't know anything about her? i don't see i don't know what she does right. so she's having this moment right now to sort of reintroduce herself to these voters. and i've done nothing but focus groups since this race change. like i'm doing them almost every day now because i'm trying to get a handle on what voters are thinking and post-dnc, what they've been saying is, you know, i like her positive

message. i still need to learn more about her, but right now, it's, it's a big contrast with what they've talked about, the rnc doom and gloom type event. and they were tired of the negative message. and so they're kinda into what she's selling and they're taking a look at her for the first time and thinking, you know, i could get there, but they're not there yet. and so i think what you're seeing in those numbers is she's put her coalition back together and now she's got to figure out how to get to in a lot of that is young voters. it's black voters it's a hispanic voters that biden was lagging with. now she's got to figure out how do i get more white working class voters, maybe white working class women is i think a place where she can really push your head because donald trump is you can see his support is very consistent. he's hit his ceiling. so now it's can she pick up the rest of those margins? now the most of the third parties have moved out of this race, and mike dubke i'm curious what you think about this because when i talk to republicans, they will say yes, harris is doing much better in some of these sunbelt states. most of the smart ones i'm talking to don't yet think she's there yet. especially in georgia, they're not sure georgia on the map, there

super-small talking to them because there is too it's been 39 days since she's been in the race and she's had three really major events. the announcement, the pick of vice president, and then the dnc that just concluded last week. and so i think when this poll was taken, it was probably over the weekend and that is the high watermark for her. i agree with sarah that democrats have come home those that felt that joe biden was too old, have come home. but now this is that neck and neck race. there's two paths to victory. one in the industrial north that blue wall as it's called, and i call it the yes. and yes and then not carolina, georgia arizona, nevada. so it is a tossup race and but it's always been a toss-up race. so i think that there has been momentum over 39 days. we'll see if that momentum starts to come to a halt when she finally does a one-on-one well, two on one interview tonight. and the race

is on. >> so let's talk about the interview because it is, as you point out there, they're gonna be there together and kendra bark off the the wall street journal editorial board, framed it this way. don't think kamala harris, his handlers are shielding or for tough tough questions, question mark, consider their first sit down interview with the press this week, she's bringing along a crutch, running mate, tim walz, the vice president's campaign is finally ladder to take questions from our dana bash here at cnn. but instead of one-on-one one, ms bash will have to deal with the vip and mr. walz, this is a deliberate attempt to limit the potential exposure risks for the vice president. you've been in the white house, you've worked on decisions like this. there's clearly a reason that they wanted this to be her first foray out there why are they doing this? what impact does it have? >> well, look, if you look at the history of every single presidential democratic presidential candidate that has done their first interview after the dnc convention. they have always been jointly together. you saw obama and biden doing it together. you saw john. i mean, john mccain,

obviously as a republican, but this is a historical interview that they have normally and typically done together. so i think people making a huge deal out of the fact that she's not doing it by herself. i think it's a ridiculous thing to make a big deal out of. i would also say that this is an important place to show the two of them together how they are together. we've seen it on the campaign trail. we've seen it on the stage, but this showing how they interact together is going to be an important thing for voters to see and for voters to do. and i'm sure they will do individual interviews as time goes by, but this is a historical interview that they will do together to show who they are. >> stephen collinson, i mean, this this is they've waited a little bit of time to do this to the point that they were getting criticism for not doing it sooner. but i think that the critical piece of this is what sara was talking about, which is that voters swing voters are saying, well, okay, i'm interested in this. i'm paying attention, right? but i don't really know yet what she's

actually going to do. are we going to start to see that tonight? >> i think in that sense, this is actually open opportunity for the vice president, although everyone is portraying it, is this big hurdles she has to go across. you're right. it took them a while to get this together that offered an opening to the trump campaign because they believe that she's not a nimble political athlete. did she struggles on policy questions. i think it's fair to say she is someone threw a history as a lawyer and a prosecutor that has been a lot more comfortable asking the questions instead of answering them, especially on ideological issues where sometimes it seems she's not quite more to any particular political position. so she had as a chance to get it across. i think what she has to do is get out of this without anything that interrupts that momentum. the key thing here is it's unscripted. everything else that's happened in this campaign, rollout has been managed by the campaign. this time she's walking a little bit of a tight rope and kendra, i really appreciate the spin on the and what the interview is.

>> but every example that you used, those individuals have sat down for a one-on-one interviews with reporters up to this point has been 39 days since she has been in this race. she has not done a single interview. the media has been jockeying for this. so i appreciate that the historic nature of this is what democrats do afterwards. but it's, i'm worried that it's a low bar for her. frankly, that she hasn't done this and everyone's saying while she can't handle questions very well, let's see tonight, if i'm if i'm dana bash, what i'm asking, i'm just directing my questions straight to vice president harris i'm just i'm ignoring walz. i think he's got the most difficult job of being a middle age white guy that has to interrupt two women having a conversation. >> well, he just shouldn't interrupt them then exactly. exactly. right. >> look what i understand from a communication standpoint she's having enormous momentum, right? she's i'd like a 78 points swing she gotten this race. she was not trying

to put a filter between her and the american people. i don't think that that is a stupid thing to do. obviously, she's going to have to sit for interviews, makes total sense that the very first one she sits down with her vice president, it's just a natural thing people do. and i'll tell you maybe people are playing the expectations game. obviously we've all been seeing over the last few years here's the republicans put together a lot of supercuts of her losing our train of thought or make it sound like some words out stuff has been genuinely impressed with how she has sounded since she got to be her own voice, right? i think it's hard to be the vice president and carry somebody else's message. but she seems pretty comfortable so far carrying her own message. but i think tonight he's going to have to answer policy questions. but if she does that, well you know, i think that after that they should do 100 interviews because i think when you put a lot of pressure on just one interview with raises the stakes in a way that i don't think it's productive. they should just like walz did something with runners world. and he also did one with a guy where he was talking about how important managing the gutters all the subway that stuff. i

think is what they need to do, not just all these high pressure kind of situation that this they've set this all up on this are questions from reporters. she's done gaggles on the plane. i mean, it's not like she hasn't talked to reporters. >> he is not the issue though. >> kendra it is that the her performance isn't past interviews have been speed bumps for her to use 11 phrase, i mean in talking to my sources, the interview she did with lester holt, not only did it sort of it seems to have rattled her, right? like this is part of why this question of this interview has been such a big one for them no, but i will say when i worked for vice president biden, every interview that he went into because he had a boss, there was a different level of expectation there, right? he had a boss that he had to report to you, but brock obama and so they're every interview, there's a different bar when you're not boss. and so now that she has taken she is the presidential nominee and

she is going to be moving forward with this. there's a little bit of a different, there's a different game that's going on here and it's a different dynamic sir, if you're harris and you're thinking about these policy questions in terms of trying to convert swing voters where are the places that you see harris getting the most bang for her buck in terms of breaking with the current president. breaking. so here's one of things that's been interesting to me is how much she has been able to not have to own joe biden's record, especially on the economy. and so for better or worse first right or wrong, voters are frustrated with the economy even though the macro level, it's been doing very well when it comes to prices of food, when it comes to housing voters still really feel behind and they blame biden. they seem to be giving her a fresh look on the economy. and so i think for her being able to both say the good parts of the biden recovery that america recovered after the pandemic. but that we're not doing nearly enough for the middle class. you heard some of that and her dnc

speech. i think she's really got to go on offense on the economy and she's got to go on offense on immigration. that's another thing. she didn't her speech, it's one of the biggest vulnerabilities that she has with these swing voters. and she's got to find a way but not to own that because that's one of the other things they people know very little about her record as vice president, but i think if they know anything, some of it is that she was made the borders are and that it didn't work out well for yeah. >> i think that's very interesting that there's visible frustration from the trump campaign that they've not been able to link her welcome plea with the president on the economy, especially that economic plan she rolled out the populist price gouging plan. a lot of economists thought it's a terrible idea, but it may well turn out to be very good politics because it's playing exactly into the major concern of a lot of voters. but she has to keep that going for two months if trump could actually focus on this issue, she might be a little bit more vulnerable than she already is. >> wake up some of her worst policies in my opinion, she just copied from trump, but

trump also has populist economic policies and so conservatives are hitting them on it. but like that's what trump does to yeah no so that's station i have for the trump campaign is they are not saying biden-harris. >> biden harris-biden harris all the time. i think you're absolutely right on this. they've got if they've focused on the issues and we focus on policy which hopefully she gets asked about tonight. >> i have faith and dan. >> i do. i really excellent at the debates if they focus on policy that is going to be a net advantage, net plus for the trump campaign all right okay. our panel is going to be back. don't forget tonight on cnn, the most anticipated interviews so far of kamala harris is run here at the top of the ticket. harris and tim walz will sit down with dana bash for their first interview. harris and walz's cnn exclusive begins tonight at nine pm eastern. i'm coming up here on cnn this morning. the debate between donald trump, kamala harris, less than two weeks away. the format still up in the air, trump's campaign senior advisor joins me to talk about that. plus parents and stress

amazing to me that you have apparently somebody at arlington cemetery, some staff member had a little disagreement with somebody and they have turned the media has turned this in to a national news story donald trump's campaign now defending his visit to arlington national cemetery following a reported altercation between his team and cemetery staff members on monday, trump visited arlington to mark the three-year anniversary of the abbey gate bombing in kabul that killed 13 in american service members during the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan. he first you see it here, laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier that is a spot where photography is allowed. after that, trump's campaign says, he was invited by families of some of those killed at abbey gate to visit the grave sites of their loved ones. and this isn't an area of arlington that's known as section 60 here photography is much more

restricted and partisan political activity is explicitly forbidden by federal law. at this point, a cemetery employee reportedly attempted to prevent trump's fatale i refer from accompanying him in accordance with that law. and arlington spokesperson confirmed to cnn, quote, there was an incident and quote, and a report was filed. they didn't provide additional details trump later posted a video on tiktok. you're watching part of it now that shows him at the gravesite, that same video included criticism of the biden administration and trump's running mate j.d. vance, is using this incident and the afghanistan withdrawal to attack kamala harris this way have those 13 americans lose their lives and not fire a single person is disgraceful. kamala harris is disgraceful. want to talk about a story out of those 13 brave innocent americans who lost their lives. it's the kamala harris is so asleep at the wheel that she

won't even do an investigation into what happened and she wants to yell at donald trump because he showed up. she can she can go to hell okay. >> panel is back. >> i want to talk in a second about j.d. >> vance and how he spoke about kamala harris there in that clip. but first mike, i just want to talk about families here because i think that this is this is the piece of this story. corey, that obviously there was an altercation in part because this cemetery employee was trying to protect families who may not want to allow photography of their loved ones, grave sites. and there was a family who's headstone appeared in that photo with trump who did not give trump permission to be there atlanta it in these campaign materials that he put out, the new york times has a statement from the sister of sargent marquez, sono and they say, quote, the trump campaign staffers did not adhere to the rules that were set in place for this visit. to the other fallen soldiers, grave site

staff, sgt and hoover in section 60, which lays directly next to my brother's grave how was this the right thing to do for the trump team? i mean, it seems clear that they broke the law here well i think that let's just accept all of the facts to be true. >> that he laid the marker at the grave of the unknown soldier that they went there. >> they were invited by the other families and all of this. i understand the reasoning behind doing the visit on monday and i understand after being invited to visit the grave site, which you know, if the family invited the former president trump to visit the grave site. i don't i think he had every right to do that on the photograph. i mean, it is very easy to blur out other images, logos, names, whatever the case maybe the trump campaign should have done that. but to the point, i it really the first part of the day went i think the way that they were

hoping it would, the second part of the day turned into a kerfuffle that we're now talking about three days later. should they have blanked out that the names of the others probably but this has now become no one is trying to take anything away from somebody trying to pay respects to fallen soldiers at the invitation of their families. >> however, right. did law is around partisan political activity, which if you are, if your goal is simply to honor the family's, you could do that without having pictures taken of it. right? >> it's completely fair game for them to bring up to can issue the abbey-gate, how the withdrawal was managed but that particular section of the cemetery for anyone who live through 911, it's particularly poignant because it's almost within sight of the pentagon where one of the plane's went in you see all the young people lying their ages of 18, 19 1920, who died in the wars that

follow that terrorist attack. and to have it caught up in a political event. it seems undignified and it does seem a real shame for it to happen. there, especially on to use it in tiktok video that explicitly attacks the president. i mean, that's the part i'm tripping on. >> no, i think you should trip on it. and they could have handled it better. i'm not in any way disagree and frankly, saving to your point this is a section of the cemetery that's new in the sense that families, this is not an from world war i or the civil war. this is, this is very need to tread carefully here. so i'm a no way defending the political use of this. what i am saying is that the going to the cemetery, and honoring those who have fallen, given the afghanistan withdrawal that was that was something that made total sense. they could have handled the aftermath of this better here's donald trump is literally never been good at

honoring america's soldiers like this is a guy who said that people who died for the country were suckers and losers. >> and like every time he goes out there and tries to sort of performative lee utilize dead soldiers and people who've fallen for the country like he does it in the schlocky political way and so this is like par for the course with him. he has no real sense of dignity around this. he has no real sense of commitment to the soldiers he uses people well them as political props. and then behind the scenes, he criticizes their sacrifice. >> there is real, there is the military families and especially the one that asked for the former president to visit the grave there is a reason for that. there is a and then they treated it as a photo op. well, it it could have very easily not been a non-story for this, for this camera well, i mean, this was a campaign event to begin with, right? >> his campaign staff were the ones who reached out that had

the conversations to negotiate with the cemetery to begin with this is what he does. he doubles down when he theirs it's been a mistake that's made to your point. he called folks and dead soldiers suckers and losers. he made fun of john mccain. i mean, this is, he has a history here of bullying and doubling down on things that he should take a step back and maybe say like, okay, i should have done something different. i should i made a mistake or whatever it is and he just doesn't do that ever. >> won his vice presidential nominee is telling harris to quote-unquote, go to hell, which we'll circle back on that coming up here on cnn this morning, trying to win over union voters harris and trump delivering their pitches. who's making the best case plus popular tourist destination in greece coping with 80,000 pounds of rotting fish one of five things you have to see this morning. >> do we do tv on the edge for

along with donald trump himself, is for unmuted microphones. i think the question that you'd have to ask is to donald trump in his, in his team, are they in agreement between themselves on how we should approach this debate because we are in agreement with donald trump, if he should be live and unmuted microphones? >> all right, joining us now is jason miller is a senior adviser to the trump campaign. jason, welcome back to cnn this morning. thank you so much for being here. why do you want the mics muted well we've, already agreed to the rules that we had with the cnn debate. and not only have we agreed, but the harris camp is agreed as well. we had the rules last week. both sides agreed that we would stay with cnn format, which i thought both jake and dana did an excellent job. i think cnn is a network, did a very good job, very fair job with and we hope that there's the same performance on abc's end. but then strangely over the weekend, the harris camp decided to change their minds and water to try to make an issue out of the already agreed to format and kasie, i think really what was going on and think is a bit more minister. i think that the harris camp was

trying to come up with the distraction of the third anniversary of the horrific killing of 13 americans at abbey gate and afghanistan. of course, kamala harris was the last one in the room for that decision. joe biden, and i think that's what this was all about. they want to distract away from kamala harris's accountability on that issue because both sides had already agreed. we've agreed again those are locked in their the same as it was for cnn are you afraid that if you unmuted the mics, the debate would be worse for mr. trump president trump is going to be fine regardless of what the format is, but it's already locked in. that's the whole point, is that it was agreed to the same as it was for cnn. the same as what it will be for abc in both camps had already agreed to this. in fact the harris camp came back with a whole host of other changes that they wanted. but let's put this distraction aside. this is about kamala harris finally, being held accountable. she can't be talking about the future when she's the one who created the nightmare that we're currently living in. she created the problems with our economy, our

border, the global chaos. and you can't be asking for a promotion when really voters should be voting you out of office jason, i also want to ask you about something else that we saw from your boss, mr. trump. he posted a pretty crude reposted a pretty crude image or comment, i should say, about kamala harris, the sitting vice president and also mentioned hillary clinton and of course, mr. trump ran against in 2016 what would you say to the vice president of the united states about the comment that he reposted well i saw the social media post. i have not discussed that with the president. i don't know if the president even saw the comment that was on there, simply the picture, but i would say with regard to kamala harris, the attacks that had been levied by kamala harris's well, the campaign by harris allies against president trump, not just recently, but over the

past year-and-a-half, two years, ever since he came down the escalator quite frankly, in the case of many left-of-center people have been quite horrific. all of this though kasie is a distraction asher is going on right where it was reposted. i mean, the i mean, 100 times worse, kasie, 100 times worse in here's the thing their social media posts, they haven't nature in this way again, i haven't discussed that with the president. i don't know if the president even saw the comment that was on there. that's not something that i have asked, but we have real people who are struggling with inflation that is hurting this country with the border crisis. president trump was just at the border this past week honoring those who've been killed by this migrant invasion. jocelyn nungaray and rachel mourn and laken riley, three names. i do not hear. i do not believe we will hear from kamala harris at the debate on the tenth. that's assuming that kamala harris shows up to the debate, which i imagine that she will because americans deserve to

hear why kamala harris has been in hiding for 39 days, of course will hear from kamala harris and tim walz when they sit down with dana to air this evening on cnn? well, dana is one of the best in the business, if not the best in the business i don't think dana will allow kamala harris to hide behind tim walz. i think dana will ask kamala harris why she thinks she deserves a promotion and why she hasn't done any of the things over the past three-and-a-half years as she says that she'll do in the future jason before i let you go, i want to ask you about one other issue, one story that there was a politico story about a new book that's set to be published next week from, from your boss, the former president it says that mark zuckerberg, the head of meta plotted against him during the 2020 election. >> and that the meta chief executive would quote, spend the rest of his life in prison, end quote, we also of course, saw soccer book zuckerberg sent a letter to congress expressing regret about some of the things facebook did during the last election around it's

information does the president, does a former president feel this way about mark zuckerberg? does he believe that he should go to jail will president trump's certainly had a right to be angry at the time and especially looking back at those excuse me, the censorship that went on in 2020 they use this guys of russian misinformation to outright sensor a story that turned out to be very true with the hunter biden laptop. >> and it did manipulate the election. in fact, a post election study for the media research centre said that one out of every seven biden voter would have looked to go a different way, possibly to president trump if they knew about the truth of the foreign business dealings and everything else on hunter biden's laptop specific to joe biden and the international said saleable in your view? in the former president's view i'm not a lawyer. >> i'll leave that up to the lawyers to go and decide on that, but i do think that there was blatant election interference and there should be some accountability to that. it can't just be a talking

point from the left. they're actually people have to be held responsible especially those 51 intelligence officers for intentionally very specifically, knowing that that was a lie and pushing this russian disinformation hoax but again, the important thing here is it's not back in 2020. we're talking about the future, but a future where we're going to have record low inflation, a secure border. we're not going to have these wars popping up everywhere. and that's where i think the difference it in this campaign is that president trump's going to put more money back in people's pockets but he's going to ease telling them exactly how he's going to do it. we don't know from kamala harris, maybe we'll find out from dana tonight how she's going to pay for any of her plane yes all right. >> jason miller. >> thank you very much for coming on today. i appreciate your time hope you'll come back. >> thank you so much. >> alright. >> still ahead here on cnn this morning, a battle of the vp's both tim walz and j.d. vance speaking at this same convention, vying for the same union to support their ticket cnn news central from meet free

people friendly, bug deadly attention. >> seniors, kamala harris has promised amnesty for the 10 million illegals she allowed in as borders are making them eligible for social security studies. >> warned, this will lead to cuts in your social security benefits president trump opposes amnesty and any cuts to your benefits and we'll eliminate taxes on social security because he's on your side. >> and donald j. trump and i approve this message in fifth grade, i lost my front teeth i was devastated after dentures and fix them i can smile to anybody. >> i confidently teach and compete in karate. >> i'm proud, showing people my smile i'm getting vaccinated and biser's pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia already

gotten pneumonia vaccine but i'm asking about the added protection of print, not 20. if you're 19 or older with certain chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, copd, or heart disease or are 65 or older, you are at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia, prevnar 20 is approved in adults to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria that causes pneumococcal pneumonia just one dose. don't get prevnar 20 if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, headache and joint pain. >> want to be able to keep my plans i don't want to risk ending up in the hospital with pneumococcal pneumonia. that's why i chose not to ask the doctor or pharmacist about the pfizer vaccine no. couple of ammonia doug and if we when we get to tell you how liberty mutual customizes car insurance. >> so you only pay for what you need. >> isn't that what you just did stand back no, you gotta if you

want tnot only pay for what you need labor day game seven of the world series, or down a couple of rods but we got the rally hats on we got runners on base and are heavy hitters are on deck we got the hometown going wild sisters and brothers in labor. >> it's time for you to step up to the plate. we've got 69 days to win this thing democratic vice presidential candidate tim walz trying to secure support from a key labor union yesterday, he met with the international association of firefighters. that's one of the largest labor unions in the country. walz is the first union member on a presidential ticket since ronald reagan speaking to that group in boston, he appealed by focusing on kamala harris as a pro-union candidate brought up this group.

>> when we're in office, we'll make sure you have all the resources and protections you need to do your jobs and your service is respected and that you come home safe every night we know exactly who built this country. it's people like the folks in this room, firefighters, police officers, construction trades, teachers, and nurses, and veterans who contributed their contributions to our nations long after they got out of military service, it was you who built the middle-class and we know that when unions are strong, america is strong firefighters union has yet to endorse in the presidential race. >> so today j.d. vance, heading to speak before that same convention we want you to have safe jobs. we want you to be able to do what you can and do what you need to do without being destroyed by our public leadership. and we want you to have good wages for a fair day's work that's true for the union workers. and that's true for the non-union workers too. >> all right. joining me now flc, i owe president liz shuler

lillis. thank you so much for being on the show today. i appreciate your time so you the afl-cio has of course, endorsed the harris ticket, him and say that front were also a couple days away from labor day where it will be marking the contributions of all of the people who work hard every day for a living the reality is you have lost some ground among union rank and file. union members. democrats have lost some ground when i talked to debbie dingell about going a union halls outside detroit, she will say there's a lot of work to do two why is that? why is that happening considering that the leadership of many of the unions are on the democratic side well, we're still, of course getting information out about what this administration has done because as you know, often there's a disconnect between what happens in washington and what happens in communities. >> and i think people are still getting to know kamala harris and connecting the dots with

that record of the past three-and-a-half years that she end joe biden have made all these investments in infrastructure and created new union jobs and manufacturing. and i think sometimes the narrative doesn't match up with what people's experiences. and so i think that's our job as unions to make sure that that information gets out on the ground. >> what do you want to hear from harris is sitting down with her with tim walz, her vice presidential pick tonight with dana bash. and one question that's relevant for i know a lot of your members ashley in the midwest is this mandate around electric vehicles the way that the biden administration has pushed a set of rules, basically that will accelerate the ev market potentially of the expense of the market for gas cars. and that's something that a lot of people are very invested in. do you want to see her continuing? you the biden administration policy. do you want her to tell to say tonight that that's where she is or do you want to see her change and make a break

from where the biden ministration is on this. >> well, we don't see it. it's often set up as a false choice. we don't see it as that we think you can have a clean environment and good union jobs and you've seen this investment that the biden administration has made. is we have labor standards in these investments and we're seeing electric school buses picking up children now that schools getting started because of these investments and they are creating good union jobs in georgia. so i think we can do both. and i think it is kamala harris to do anything differently compared to where the biden ministration has been. >> she has been she has a strong record in the environment and clean energy, and that has been emblematic of this administration. i believe she will continue on that path and creating good union jobs and clean energy all right. >> liz shuler, the president of the afl-cio. thank you so much for your time today. i hope it come back on the show certainly appreciate it. all right. coming up next here on cnn this morning, overwhelmed and burned out where the u.s. surgeon general it says parental stress

them they don't know, but they often come away feeling worse about themselves and they're falling short. his parents so according to dr. murthy, who is a father of two, the u.s. needs a shift in policy and cultural norms because mothers and fathers who work many more hours than they did decades ago, and they also spend many more hours every week on primary child care. our panel is back. i think this might be the one thing that we are all in unanimity on today is that we're all parents at this table. and unfortunately, i'm told from the parents of the empty nesters that like minor little five and 18 months, it apparently doesn't ever. >> if they're going to take away felon homes and schools, they should take it away from parents as well because if he's saying this is a growing crisis has been a crisis for centuries, raising little kids and just get rid the social media and the fear of missing out or whatever that all is you're good parents to care of your children. that's all you need to know. >> well, i think that what he

seems to be saying here, sara, is that the way our modern life has evolved, has it made, has made it harder for parents. parents is parenting is more intensive than it ever was from the primary caregivers from the primary from parents. there's less input from extended family and there's not a lot of support out there for in terms of whether it's, you know, your extended family being round, but also from society itself yeah. >> i don't i mean, look, i do think it has to do somewhat social media, although you can take that social media frame and apply it to just about any part of life in the way that it amplifies things. >> i do think it has actually a lot more to do with this idea of not having extended family around. i mean, it used to be that there were grandparents living in the house or your family was all nearby? i know for us like, you know, we all live far away from our families and both both sets of grandparents are hours away. and so there's not somebody who you can just be like, hey,

just grabbed the kid, you know, and you find yourself having to do pick-up, drop-off breakfast, get them out the door, and then everybody is working from the moment you wake up because you've got your phone now, so it's just it is just a modern thing that we're all trying to figure out how to navigate, right? >> well, and especially post pandemic and the pandemic period was so stressful for parents as well. >> it was. but i also think that there are certain policies that we have in place and the united states that don't help us right, are paid leave he wasn't what it should be. our childcare isn't what it should be. and so there are policies that need to be put in place to move our country in a way that i think will help parents to achieve what they need, which is a less stressful life. it's really hard and so i think that there's some stuff that the senate and congress and the president should be doing on that issue to, yeah, i think it's especially a problem for low-income families and this is where it plays into the politics. >> it's not just a social issue what do you do with the kids in the summer during the

long school vacation? if you don't have the money to put them in camps and everything else. this is part of its school on working americans. this is part of the pressure that's playing into this election. having said that, i think in my 20 odd years of being a parent i think there's more consciousness about this issue now, and especially with the working from home, from the pandemic that has many bad aspects to it, but it has allowed, i think some more flexibility for parents to leave early to go and get the kids or the kids sick to stay at home and work. so that has changed a little bit. >> fair enough? >> all right. >> this morning, i'll leave you with this ten years ago, president barack obama, or a tan suit to a daily press briefing the reaction was a lot number of topics think about this picture. when was the last time you saw president obama's suave in beijing? and earth tones for crying out loud.

>> i thought the show was a metaphor for his lack of seriousness and only the democrats and only liberals could actually elect a guy with a tan suit where dark color suit when you're doing simple, we haven't seen or go for all out seersucker. i want the parents fighting domestic terrorism look like simpler times. the former president marked the anniversary with a tweet praising the tan suit worn by kamala harris on the opening night of the dnc obama insisting it's still a good look. >> mike dubke already come down on this. i wish i had known were doing this, i would have worn my tan suit today if this was an accident to be clear, i worked hand i do. think it's a good luck i'm i'm for it, but, you know, nixon was against a brown suit back in the day. so, you know, real politicians don't wear brown suit. so can we go back to arguing about suits days
