. >> reporter: tonight, the head of the united auto workers union out with a blistering statement, "when we say donald trump is a scab, this is what we mean. when we say trump stands against everything our union stands for, this is what we mean." walz echoing those words. >> he called him a scab, just to be clear. that's not name calling, it's an observation in fact, just to be clear. >> reporter: the uaw has endorsed vice president kamala harris, noting she has walked the picket line with striking workers. and tonight, the union filing federal labor charges against trump and musk with the national labor relations board, saying they "advocated for the illegal firing of striking workers." vice president kamala harris has only been in the race for three weeks, and now, she will start to roll out her policy proposals, starting with the economy. her campaign says she wants to lower costs for middle class families and take on corporate price gouging, all issues she'll address next week at the democratic national convention, david. >> david: rachel scott live in washington. rachel, thank you.

the united auto workers have filed federal charges against elon musk and former president trump aftery spoke of striking workers last night. uaw leader sean fain just only their marks were intimidating. the trump campaign is called the suit a political stunt. major? >> major: robert, we also have some new details on key speakers, at least initially, announce for the democratic national convention. >> reporter: president biden will have his big moment on monday evening. so will former secretary of state hillary clinton, followed tuesday by former president barack obama, former president bill clinton will also be in chicago.

of the united auto workers.s specifically in this presidential election? >> thanks for having us, lawrence. look, it is not just autoworkers, it is all working class people, union or not. our livelihoods are at stake. our futures are at stake. we are on a course in this country. we have been on a course for 40 years. the gap between the rich and poor gets bigger and bigger and you know when three american families have as much wealth as the bottom 50% of americans, we have a crisis in this nation. this election is about taking back power for working-class people and the choice is obvious. this is a whose side are you on moment? it is very clear who is on the side of working-class people and who is on the side of the billionaire class. >> there is the latest poll on michigan, a bloomberg morning consult poll that shows quite the lead for kamala harris. it shows 53% and donald trump 11 points behind at 42%. that is the latest poll taken. earlier polls were closer, so we will see what happens, but that looks like s

the fact that the united auto workers.her got out of poverty because of of his united auto workers job. we should campaign in michigan. donald trump doesn't want to talk about that. he wants to divide us along racial line, gender lines, as opposed to what we need to do in this country now is forget the tribalism, forget the divisiveness. >> perhaps that's why he's chosen jd vance which spreads ideas and divisiveness. i want to talk about the child tax credit. because schumer is putting the child tax credit expansion up for a vote tomorrow. there's actually some senate republicans who want to block this thing. i'm confused by it. you work in the senate so i need an explanation. j.d. vance made it very clear republicans are the profamily party. right. his whole brand is family, family, family. but on top of that it seems like he may not even cast a vote because he's going to be campaigning. profamily and expanding child tax credit should be hand in hand. >> under biden we got it for one year. we were one vote shy. one republ

today, the united auto workers came out in support of harris. uaw president sean fain explained why on this network. >> union or not, we are all fighting the same thing. workers have been left behind for decades in this country due to policy that trumps america pushes, you know. it is tax breaks, tax cuts for the wealthy, 80% of the benefit going to the top 1% so the selection is it have one candidate in trump who represents the billionaire class and you have a lapdog for kamala harris who stands for working-class people and she has shown it through her actions. >> you heard it. with that, let's get smarter with the help of our leadoff panel. tonight, john allen, axe's political reporter hans nichols and michael steele, former chairman of the republican national committee and former lieutenant governor of maryland. you know him as cohost of the weekend right here on msnbc. michael, you know we are going to start with trump at the nabj conference. for the trunk campaign, watching his remarks had to of been like watching a baby crawl across the in

the united auto workers and the famed head of it, he's a stupid person, what he's doing. we should have hybrids, we should have gasoline powered cars and we should also have electric cars at a smaller number. the electric cars, there's a great place for them. they do don't go far. i like the tesla. it's limited because it can't go like a gasoline car. they want electric trucks. they don't work because you'd have to stop six times going to los angeles. with diesel, you have no stops. maria: who are you considering as a treasury secretary. >> i don't want to say that. you would know all of them. maria: hav you. maria: have you spoken with them about it. >> yes. maria: let me talk to you about tariffs, you use them for economic growth and for security. how do you you use tariffs a weapon for national security and what other countries aside from china are you considering tariffs. >> i want a reciprocal tax. if they charge us 100% on a car, we charge them 100%. hard to believe we haven't done it. i was set to do it until covid came and it took everybody's eye off the ball incl

watch this, cheryl. >> look, the united auto workers i know them very well, they vote for me.r me. they're going to love donald trump more than ever before. we're going to create that area the most traditional area we're going to have more you auto jobs than we've ever had. we're bringing back the automobile industry. we're doing that with tariffs. >> if you're going to go out out there and kill auto jobs because you want evs across the country and you promise you'll have jobs in other industries and you don't, maybe the workers are a little upset. that's what i'm saying. maria: i think what he's saying rings true. i don't know. what do you think? >> 100%. i'll still fired up about this labor filing. you're not allowed to have free speech in our country anymore? he said this in a podcast, he wasn't threatening any of his workers. are any of donald trump's workers union? these are interesting questions to ask. this is a ridiculous, partisan only based upon politics aattempt at a suit. it's going that where to your point, cheryl. it's infuriating. maria: you're a lawyer. hearing

workers and whether it is union or nonunion, look, united auto workers, i know them very well. they have a stupid person leading them, but they vote for me. they will love donald trump before -- more than ever before. create in that area at the most traditional area, we will have more auto jobs and we have ever had. we are bringing back the automobile -- automobile industry we will do that with tariffs. we are not going to accept. i put the tariffs on chinese cars. you know that. i didn't want to take the tariffs off of chinese cars. he wants to just text the electric car. that is not good enough. we will have more auto production in the united states and we have ever had before and it will happen very fast. >> this will be the first 100

the president of the united auto workers, shawn fain, put out a statement that said bluntly, when weis what we mean. the united auto workers endorsed kamala harris and backing from labor unions like the uaw, those backings in specific could help the harris/walz campaign buttress the blue ball states they must win in november. coming up, i talked to the head of the democratic party, the great state of wisconsin about how that race is going, that is next. dd-on trent for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks. fasenra is not for sudden breathing problems or other eosinophilic conditions. allergic reactions may occur. don't stop your asthma treatments without talking with your doctor. tell your doctor if your asthma worsens. headache and sore throat may occur. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. step back out there with fasenra. ask your doctor if it's right for you.

out there part of the union united auto workers family, what is the effort behind getting them? not going to vote for, lane harris or not all going to vote for donald trump, but what is the strategy to sort of galvanize the union worker behind the idea that there is a big difference between these two presidential candidates when it comes to the working class and working men and women across this country as you said, not just within unions, but outside of unions, remembering that he was the one that had a union event with nonunion workers. >> yeah. look again, it is going back to facts and we will remain members between retired members and active workers and, you know, we are launching our campaign now. and we have been very actively speaking about this, showing these two people, as we tell them every time i speak it is not my opinion, it is just party politics, this is these people in their own words on their own actions and that is enough for anyone, when you show this fact it is a very clear picture, so that is one of the things we are doing, we have created some videos we are

>> okay, so first let's just talk a little bit of context here because you have the united auto workers one they have endorsed kamalaharris. they had endorsed president joe biden, and on top of that, he has he being donald trump has a pretty toxic relationship with the head of the uaw, shawn fain. they have publicly criticized each other over and over again. i think trump is pretty fixated on fain, if you want my opinion on not because he continues to bring him up on a regular basis. so now you have following these remarks, uaw filing these federal labor charges against both trump and musk saying that they were threatening workers who threatened to strike by saying they would get fired, which is illegal. that is illegal to threaten anyone who is threatening to strike or to fire anyone who is threatening to strike so now you're hearing the trump campaign hitting back and they released this statement saying this frivolous, frivolous lawsuit is a shameless political stunt intended to erode president trump's overwhelming support among american workers. they go on to say, democrats, special

auto workers.owd boos] you want to know where kamala harris was in 2019? she was on the picket line with striking workers! [cheers and applause] kamala harris stands shoulder to shoulder with working-class people. not for a picture, not for publicity, but because it is the right thing to do. when kamala harris as vice president, she's worked with us, and helped us bring jobs back to lordstown, ohio where workers are left behind. vice president harris took action so workers who were forced to leave lordstown, ohio under donald trump are now returning home. she and president biden worked with us to state a plant in belvidere, illinois that was slated to close. that's the difference. donald trump is all talk, and talk is cheap! kamala harris walks the walk! [cheers] she does the work, and when help was needed, she showed up! so now, it's our turn. it's our turn to stand up, to speak up, and to show up for vice president harris!

quoting the united auto workers present, tim walz laid out the clear contrast between the harris/walz ticket and the trump/vance ticket. last night, donald trump and elon musk had a conversation on musk's social need apart from that the new york times called to our ramble. in those two hours, donald trump appeared to endorse firing striking workers, which is against the law. >> i look at what you do, you walk in, you say you want to quit, i won't mention the name of the company, they go on strike, you say, that's okay, you're all gone. everyone of you is gone. >> united auto workers responded by filing federal labor charges against donald trump and elon musk. under the national labor relations act, workers cannot be fired for going on strike and it is illegal to threaten to do so. in a statement, uaw president shawn fain said, quote, when we say donald trump is a scab, this is what we need. when we say trump stands against every thing our union stands for, this is what we mean. donald trump will always side against workers standing up for themselves and he will always side with alien

me but they had have a head of the united auto workers who is a fool. he's giving our auto industry to china by allowing this electric mandate to even be thought of. maria: the electric mandate is something to talk about, caroline. trump is not saying not to buy an electric vehicle. it's fine. buy what you want. but mandating that, getting rids of your gas powered car, that's what he doesn't want. >> kamala harris not only wanted to pass the green new deal which would like you said overhaul domestic industries by forcing clean energy on the population, she wanted to eliminate the filibuster to do so and i think that's what we need to emphasize. she is a r radical authoritarian who has no regard to our constitution or institutions and i noticed she's disavowing all her previous policy positions including the economic ones not just on banning fracking but on gun buyback programs, there's so many things she no longer wants to do. she's suddenly a magical born again moderate who is basically denying everything she's ever said and done and i don't think the

., the united auto workers union is filing a role labor charges against donald trump and elon musk overunion calls attempts to threaten and intimidate workers. during a discussion on x, with mr. musk monday, trump said striking workers shouldn't be tolerated and should possibly face termination, against federal labor laws. it was one of many topics they touched on in a conversation where the presidential nominee made a number of -- unsubstantiated claims. elon musk endorsed trump. we have been checking those statements. verifies -- jake, good to see you. let's start with the economy. what donald trump said. >> it was a colossal interview and a range of topics were discussed. one that trump came back to was the economy, in particular inflation. during the interview he said inflation in the u.s. was the worst it had been in 100 years. inflation is an issue in the u.s. and it has been rising under president biden, but it is not the worst in 100 years. it hit a peak of just over 9% back in december of 2022. but it has been higher than that it was last that high in 1981, so trump is exaggera

the united auto workers union filing federal labor charges against the pair for allegedly trying to intimidateal law that workers have a right to strike, and you cannot be fired for striking. and, you know, donald trump thumbs his nose at the law. i mean, there's another theme coming out. i call donald trump a scab because that's what he is. >> seth: it's true, he's a scab. he looks like someone picked at him and he didn't heal properly. [ laughter ] again, let me underscore this. the number one issue in this election is jobs. trump bragged about firing people, and now he's the subject about of federal labor charges filed by a union representing workers in a crucial industry that, as you may have heard, is prominently located in michigan, a key swing state. although trump probably doesn't even know that. if an aide asked him, "where do you think cars are made?" he'd probably say, "car-olina. [ laughter ] the hand is south carolina, then the little part up top's north carolina." [ laughter ] after the head of the united auto workers called trump a scab, democratic vp nominee tim walz joined in

how was it that a a cio affild union like thes united mine workers of the united auto workers could form with hundreds of thousands of people? >> guest: that's an excellent point. the cio, which was started in 1935, couldn't have been started without the wagner act. the act made it possible to form a mass industry union because it really forbids employers of doing some of the things they've been doing to that point, blacklisting workers, for example. it gig workers the right to form a union. once workers had that right they really seized it in in a maks fashion. between 1935-1945, swinney swimf the depression they start organize. but the process is incomplete until the end of world war ii i would say. >> host: who was mr. wagner? >> guest: robert wachter was a senator from new york. he was a longtime progressive. one of things that get them interested in issues of labor reform was if he was in the new york legislature at the time of the triangle shirt phi which happened in 1911,rk a terrible tragedy in new york city where a sweatshop caught fire, young women perished, and he was so shock
