but this comes as an inflexion point between trump and biden. trump is saying, had doesn't matter if you made more jobs, electric vehicles is putting us in a position where more vehicles are made in china. >> and we'll see what happens, as he's actually there, one of the big arguments from donald trump and all of his supporters is you don't get out, you don't talk to the people and so forth. so, this is a strategy that is new-ish. one could argue, he should have been doing for years. the bully pulpit is strong. >> it is. >> for biden, he really wants to go down agency the most pro-labor president. it's more than just a strategy. >> fair point. it happens to be what he truly, truly believes. you're seeing pictures right now in wayne county, michigan.

we're about to see for the first time a sitting american president walking the picket line. the united autoworkers strike for opposing the three big automakers simultaneously, now joe biden is expected to join the ranks of the uaw. a source saying union president shawn fain will be joining him on the line. he greeted the president a short time ago, that's where cnn's arlette saenz is standing by, and less than an hour's drive away, we have vanessa yurkevich with workers on the picket line in warren, michigan. arlette, the president vying to shore up union support. he's trying to convince americans that his economic policies are working. he has a lot riding on this visit. >> reporter: yeah, he definitely does. and president biden is making this historic visit becoming the

first sitting u.s. president to walk with striking workers on the picket line. we're expecting to see him any moment now as they just a arrived at a facility that appear to be a general motors facility where there are uaw members walking the picket line. the white house did not detail the exact location where president biden would be, simply saying it was wayne county due to security concerns they were facing. president biden's mission, while he's on the ground here is trying to show that support for union workers and shore up support amongst working class voters who could be critical heading into the 2024 election. now, the president arrived at the detroit airport, about half an hour ago where he was greeted by the uaw shawn fain. we expect fain to be on the picket grounds. he had extended the invitation to president biden to come here where the workers are striking. but it's noteworthy that the uaw

has yet to endorse in the 2024 election. the president was asked earlier what had would take to win that endorsement, he said it's not something he's worried about. the white house has stressed this trim about showing solidarity with the workers as the negotiations are ongoing with the three big automakers. the white house has walked a very careful line with the negotiations. they don't have a direct legal authority with the negotiations but tried to lend support. the president has come out in vocal support for the uaw since the strike has started. one thing that the white house has refrained from doing is weighing in specifically on how the white house used the demands of the uaw as these negotiations are under way. now, what's also playing out over the course of the next few days, the remarkable political split screen, when you think about the fact that biden is here today. and former president donald trump is also expected in the detroit area where they're gathering a group of union workers to address.

now, it comes as both of these men are vying for working class -- >> arlette, i'm going to pause for a moment. he's there addressing the workers with the bull horn -- >> -- since 1973, i'll tell you what, one thing i will say, the fact of the matter is that you guys, u aaw with the auto indusy made a lot of sacrifices. gave up a lot. and companies were in trouble. now, they're doing incredibly well. and guess what. you should be doing incredibly well, too. [ cheers and applause ] >> you deserve the significant raise you need and other benefits. let's get back what we lost, okay.

it's time that they step up for us. [ cheers and applause ] >> shawn fain, your president. >> uaw! >> thank you! >> i want to thank local 174. >> yeah. >> thanking the leadership and the director lawrence fishman. and you're the reason we're here. this is all about the membership. >> yes. >> this site, willow run, it holdings a historic place in the history of our union, in our country. you know, this was part of the democracy during world war ii. it's where they built, the b-24

liberator bomber. and that bomber, they built, one of those per hour when they were at their peak. it's what helped us win the war. so, today, eight years later, we find ourselves again with the arsenal democracy. it's a different kind of arsenal democracy, and it's a different kind of war we're fighting. today, the enemy isn't some foreign country miles away. it's right here in our own -- in our own area. it's corporate greed. and the work that we produce to fight that enemy is the liberators, the true liberators, the working class people, all of you working your butts off on those lines to deliver a great product for our company. that's how we're going to defeat these people.

that's how we're going to defeat corporate greed is by standing together. you know, this is a historic moment, the first time in our country's history that a sitting usa president has came out and stood on the picket line. [ cheers and applause ] our president chose to stand up with workers in our fight for economic and social justice. it's a historic day, a historic moment in time. you know, just about the day, it's about the autoworkers who are part of the fabric of the working class in this country. we're the people who make the world run. it's not the billionaire class. not the elite few. it's the working class of the

billions of people who have been left behind. that's what this battle is about, changing that. you know what's going to move this, it's not some executive that owns our future. it's us. it's working class people from all walks of life. you know, it's what we decide to do together that's going to change it, it's going to shape the future of this earth and for future generations. and that's the economic reality that corporate executives don't want us to recognize. i see these ceos try to justify a system where they take all the profit and the workers are left to fight for the scraps and live paycheck to paycheck. that's got to end. they say they deserve all of the profit because they say they're different. you know what, they are different. they have different degrees.

they have different responsibilities. they have different titles. different positions. you know what, i agree, though, they're different, but let's talk about some of that. these ceos sit in their offices, they sit in meetings, they make decisions, but we make the product. they think they own the world, but we make it run. the ceos think the future belongs to them. today belongs to the autoworkers and the working class. and the difference between them and us. means solidarity. without our brain and muscle, not a single wheel would turn. that's what's different about working class people. whether we're building cars or

trucks or running posh distribution centers, or writing movies or performing tv shows, whether we're making coffee at starbucks, whether it's nursing people back to health, whether it's educating students from preschool to college, we do the heavy lifting, we do the real work. not the ceos. and though we don't know it, that's what power is, we have the power. the world is of our making, the economy is of our making. this industry is of our making. and if we show that we withhold our labor, we can earn making. and as we're going to continue to show, when we win this fight with a victory, we're going to remake it.

with the union, the members are the highest authority. in this country, the people are the highest authority. and so, today, i just want to take a moment to stand with all of you, with our president, and stay thank you, to the president, thank you, mr. president, for coming. thank you for coming, to stand up with us, in our generation's defining moment. and we know the president will do right by the working class and when we do right by the working class, you can leave the rest to us because we're going to take care of this. thank you for coming out. thank you for being a part of this life. and let's get back to winning solidarity for all of our

members and economic and social justice for all of our members. ♪ >> you've heard me say it many times, wall street didn't build this country, the middle class build this country. the unions built the middle class. that's a fact. let's keep going, you deserve what you've earned. and you've earned a hell of a lot more than you're getting paid now. thank you very much. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> the president there telling uaw workers you deserve a hell of a lot more than you get paid right now. i want to get back to arlette saenz, as we heard the president there, and we head the president of the united auto workers,

shawn fain there rallying the troops alongside the president, interesting he told the striking autoworkers, you saved the auto industry, you gave up a lot. auto companies are doing well. you deserve the raise you need. we were talking, arlette, before he spoke a specific weighing in on negotiations he said you deserve the raise you need and other benefits that you lost. of course what they're fighting for health care and pensions and the like, has he gone that far? i know he's being pretty general there, he's saying they deserve everything they're asking for. >> reporter: yeah, maybe slightly farther than he's gone before, but he still hasn't weighed in on the very specifics of what they are seeking, as far as seeking a 40% increase in their pay and other issues but what the president was trying to do there is signal his full support for these autoworkers as they're striking. there's that imagery you now have of president biden wearing the uaw hat with the bull horn

in hand speaking to the striking workers. a lot of what he talked about also strikes at the heart of much of his pro-union message that he's tried to espouse throughout his presidency saying that the middle class built this country and unions that built the middle class. one thing that biden is really trying to do with this visit is shore up support with working class voters especially in a state like michigan. this is a state where the president won voters in union households with a little over 60% last election, compared to former president donald trump. this is a state that will once again be pivotal again, heading into the 2024 election. but what the white house has said, the president today is focused on showing the support and solidarity with the striking workers, walking the picket lines lines with them. you see him still there, onsite. just outside of a general motors facility, walking around, talking with people. this gives the president an opportunity to try to prevent a

split screen with former president donald trump who will be here in this area tomorrow. the president's invitation to michigan came from the uaw president shawn fain directly who invited him to come here just last week. the president earlier said today he's not concerned about the moment about the fact that the uaw hasn't endorsed him just yet. but it's certainly an endorsement he's hoping to win heading into 2024. for the time being, the focus is on the workers and trying to stress the president's support for not just the uaw but unions writ large. >> and they seem happy to have the shot in the arm of his presence there in wayne, michigan. let's head up the road to warren, michigan, where is where vanessa yurkevich is. we were talking with arlette earlier, that he doesn't have the endorsement. maybe he's not worried about it, but i'm sure he would like it. what do the union workers think

about him rallying the striking workers? >> reporter: yeah, well, unfortunately, the folks here did not get to hear the president just moments ago, they have been here on the picket line 24/7, we're at the stellantis facility, this is one of the 38 facilities authorized to go on strike just friday. just to remind folks what the union is demanding as you heard the president and uaw president shawn fain speak about what the workers deserve. 40% pay increases over the next four years. cost of living adjustments, a return to pensions and retiree security. and four-day work week. but let's hear from one of those workers. i want to britain in sheinelle holyfield. she's been working at stellantis for 11 years now. the president just spoke, i know you didn't get to hear from him, just the president being here today, what are your feelings about that? >> i'm glad that he's here. but if he's here for us, it's

important that he's here for us. but if he's not here for us, then he's just here. >> reporter: yeah, he said he was here to support union workers and to make sure that you got your fair share. when the president of the united states says that, does that hold any meaning to you? >> yes, it does. he's the top. so, it means a lot to us, and we just want what's fair, that's it. that's all we want. >> reporter: the president is not at the negotiating table. >> i know. >> reporter: and does not have a lot of power in terms of negotiations. do you think his presence here today will help the negotiations between stellantis, the company you work for and the union? >> i believe so. i believe so. we'll just see. it's a waiting game. y'all here. >> reporter: thank you so much. thank you so much, sheinelle. so, listen the negotiations continue between the big three and the union, despite the fact

that president biden is here today and former president trump is coming here to detroit tomorrow. according to a source, the union has not endorsed the president -- president trump's visit here. they did not invite him here. and they have no involvement with that event. but today, you just saw a historic moment between uaw president shawn fain and the president of the united states. in what has already been a historic strike. >> certainly did, vanessa, arlette, thank you for your reports for striking autoworkers, boris. >> let's continue with tony toddy, he's the president of local 214 in toledo, ohio. tony, thank you for being with us. it is a historic moment, the president of the united states picketing alongside your union members. i'm wondering what you heard from president biden that stood out to you? >> thank you for having me,

boris. well, we've heard a lot of the same. you know, joe biden's been by our side the whole way through. it's nice to hear these words while the companies are profitable. if anybody knows what we deserve, it is president joe biden. when you look at the obama administration, he was over the reconstruction for the auto industry. he knows what what we gave up. now that the corporations are so profitable, just like he said, we deserve that raise. >> tony i want to get your thoughts on criticisms of president biden's overseeing or watching from the sideline, as this strike has been happening. people that feel like he hasn't been specific enough about what workers deserve. people that feel like he's pushed the auto industry too far into electric vehicles and that has led to disruptions for you and your workers. what do you say to those criticisms? >> well, he's not at the bargaining table. our negotiators are. and these are for-profit

companies. and the reason why they're making the switch to ev is they know there's profits over there on that side, once we make that transition. so, they're still making money on internal combustion engines, so the future is evs. i don't have a problem with what the president has done so far but our endorsement, we have a process that we go through. if you look at four years ago in 2020, we didn't make our endorsement in the election year. we're still on track to make our endorsement in a timely manner that goes along with our process. >> what do you make of former president trump's visit scheduled for tomorrow? are you concerned some people may see this as nothing more than a photo op for the two front-runners in 2024? >> well --

>> looks like we're having some -- it looks like we're having some technical issues with tony totty. we do want to thank him for his time. of course, plenty more to discuss not only from michigan but wherever headlines are happening. we'll be back on "cnn news central."

right now on capitol hill, the house and the senate are on a collision course with fewer than five days to avert a government shutdown. think of the house as the kid who hasn't done his most essential homework assignment. and the senate is the parent who is grudgingly doing it for them, in the hopes they will turn something, you know, anything, in because at anytime, the senate could release its own bipartisan short-term spending bill because there's no bill in the house even if the senate does pass a stopgap bill there, it remains will they have funding for ukraine? will kevin mccarthy even bring

that bill to the house floor? and if he does, will house republicans revolt and try to oust him from his leadership. cnn's lauren fox is live on capitol hill. what more do we know about the status of this senate bill, lauren? >> reporter: yeah, brianna, the expectations is we could see a tax deal before this afternoon. they're still trying to find a deal that works for both democrats and republicans. they're hoping to try and make sure democratic and republican members will support it even before it comes to the floor, hoping they can move this as quickly as possible because time is of the essence right now. what they're looking at right now, this is still fluid is about a 45-day short-term spending bill, basically a bridge to get them to the next opportunity to have a broader negotiation on one year spending bill. so, that is what they're looking at, at the moment. but it's important to keep in context that there are some things that a lot of senators

would like included in this short-term vehicle, that may not get to the final bill. and a couple of those include ukraine funding, as well as disaster aid. now, again, things are still being negotiated. it's possible that some of that money ends up in the legislation. but it's important to keep in mind, senator rand paul, a conservative, has already warned if any ukraine money is included in this package, he could potentially slow the process down. because there's not much time to act that is something that leaders want to the avoid. if the senate can unite and pass the bill the question, of course, is will kevin mccarthy put it on the floor. and every single day, we give him this question. and this is what he said today when i pressed. >> i'm not going to take the hypotheticals of some day senate is going to do something. go back and ask them. >> reporter: and, of course, there he is again, saying that this is a hypothetical question. we will see, if by the end of the week that is the case. or whether the senate has acted

quickly and swiftly to send something to mccarthy. brianna. >> oh, that's kind of a less hypothetical as far as hypothetical questions go. i will definitely give you that. lauren fox, live for us on capitol hill. thank you. boris. today, major developments in the murder case against the philadelphia police officer. a judge just dismissing all seven charges against officer mark dowell. remember, he was seen on video fatally shooting eddie rosario during a traffic stop last night. danny freeman is outside a court in philadelphia. dannny take us to the scene, wh did the judge throw out the case? >> reporter: listen, boris, the judge was pretty emphatic if not short-worded. judge duepew, in the case of mark dowell, and saying i agree

with the defense attorney 100% and dismissed all of the charges that the district attorney had levied against officer mark dowell. that included murder and voluntary manslaughter as well. i want to break down what were the two focal points let's say of the preliminary hearing. the first focal point was the testimony of michael morris, mark dowell's partner that day. he was driving the car. officer mark dowell was in the passenger seat. and in this preliminary hearing, officer morris testified that he was afraid for his life and his partner's life at the moment when they got out of the car. and he said that he shouted to his partner, officer mark dowell, that there was a knife. that is what he testified, then helayed that video that we've seen, you could hear him also shouting that there was, quote, an effing gun there as well. that is why the attorneys

brought up why officer dowell fired his weapons. and the other piece of evidence that came up in the preliminary hearing, the defense attorney and prosecution, she showed us a picture of the knife that he was accused of having, and defense attorneys argued that knife looked a lot like a gun. the judge said she agreed 100% with the attorneys in the case this was not a situation of murder even though the district attorney said we want even justice for all. even though officer dial walked with a gun in his hand. again, the judge disagreed with the prosecution. a lot of emotion immediately afterwards, boris, take a listen to what family members of eddie idzario. >> witnesses, they proved my

nephew did not come out of that vehicle. where is the threat? even if he has a small pocket knife, where's the threat? where's it? >> reporter: now, the district here in philadelphia who initially brought the charges against police officer dial, said they intend to appeal this. a lot of challenging emotions in that courtroom. one thing, boris, we were looking at the courtroom, one side of the courtroom was predominant police officers and officers supportingle officer dial. on the other side of the courtroom, family members supporting the victim, eddie iz czarry. then the police officer signed mark dial they erupted in cheers and then a lot of tears on the other side. boris. >> danny i also want to get to that body cam video that you say they played in court.

obviously, we want to warn our viewers, it is disturbing and we stop the video before the most graphic moments, here it is. [ bleep ] shoot you. >> 14 -- shots fired. get your hands up now. >> police officer -- >> part of the reason that video is significant is because it contradicts an initial report from police that he left his vehicle. danny, what was it like when that video was played in the courtroom? >> reporter: boris, that video was played a number of times, not just the body camera and officer morris and surveillance video from overhead the entire scene, officer dial, every time

that irizarry was seen shot, he cried openly and took tissues to wipe away his tears. every time irizarry was shown to be killed many family members of irizarry also cried and many others had to look away because that video is so graphic and disturbing. it was an emotional day in court. and family members of irizarry said there will likely be protests after this ruling today. boris. >> emotions and tensions running high there. danny freeman, thank you so much. then there were 17 senate democrats calling on senator bob menendez to resign. we're following the latest and whether the latest newly indicted member shows up on the hill today.

♪ today, the dam is breaking on indicted new jersey senator bob menendez, as he hemorrhaging support among members of his own party, at least 17 have called for him to resign, including junior senator cory booker. senators getting head of the deluge of questions that they will be facing from reporters in the hall, especially an menendez announced yesterday he would not step down in the face of federal

bribery charges. let's discuss this with a former new jersey senator, bob torch c elli is with us now. you have an unique perspective not only as a senator who served on the senate foreign relations committee but also you faced a bribery and scandal, a federal investigation against you was closed but you decided not to run for re-election after a committee admonished you for violating gift rules and it became that voters may not very well re-elect you. is there anything that you think that would make senator menendez resign. >> first of all, almost nothing you said is true, i did have an investigation on campaign finance and gifts. it was ended with a letter of exoneration, to be clear -- >> i said it was closed -- >> what you said was not true. >> i said it was closed. i said the investigation was closed. >> it wasn't just closed.

i was given a letter making clear there was no evidence of violations of law. >> it was referred to senate ethics. i'm not trying to relitigate the past. it was referred to senate ethics and you were rebuked by the senate committee. >> you're not relitigating the past, you're saying it inaccurately. it was closed a laura of exoneration. what's your question. >> it was referred to the ethics committee, am i correct? >> it was referred to, yes. that was a criminal matter that involved a letter, yes. what is your question? >> my question was, is there anything that you think would make senator menendez resign? >> well, there's always a tendency in american criminal justice to give people the benefit of the doubt. and to be regarded as innocent in they are proven guilty. but here, the evidence is so

overwhelming. and it involves the core of service in the senate. the idea of sharing information with a foreign government or interfering in criminal investigations, have there be investigations in in the senate before. indictment, relatively few in the history of the senate, this really takes the case to the extreme. >> why is is that something in your view? when you're speaking specifically about what's in this indictment, are you talking about the specifics about the u.s. embassy information? what is it specifically to you that sets this apart from the last one? >> i think it's three things. first, the notion of using your power to interfere in not one but two criminal investigations is so far out of acceptable behavior. i think senators would be offended by it. using your power to appoint a u.s. attorney and then attempting to leverage that

person, not simply to help someone, but to do so after being compensated by a bribe. and i think most offensive is the chairman of the foreign relations committee of the united states senate helping a foreign government. and allegedly being bribed for it. is just -- it's stunning. i don't -- so, i think while senators normally would reserve judgment, remembering there have only been two indictments in my lifetime, senator williams and senator stevens, and he was acquitted. and given the potential of being acquitted as there was a hung jury in senator menendez, the tendency would be to wait. but as senator menendez said, the justice department often gets it wrong. frequently gets it wrong. but this is wrongdoing and the charges go to the core of exercising power as a senator. he has to resign. >> number of senators in his party in your party, has just

been growing, i mean, every moment, it seems like there's someone else. you've known him for decades. do you think he is more likely to dig in? i mean, do you think that's going to influence him? or is he actually more likely to dig in the face of his fellow democratic senators telling him to resign? >> i think he's going to dig in because of he's facing a very difficult trial. he probably does not want to lose the support system he has in the senate. he probably does not want to lose the income. he doesn't want to lose the ability to raise funds for his defense. but those are good reasons for him to want to stay in. they're not good reasons for the public or senate to want him to stay in. it's simply, obviously, not in the public interest that he remain in the senate. >> when you decided not to run for re-election in 2002, you said, quote, i will not be responsible for the loss of the democratic majority in the united states senate. that is something that you

considered as were you looking at where polling was. do you think that menendez could risk the majority by staying in? or do you think new jersey voters might actually at this point in time, here we are, this is 2023, do you think new jersey voters might tolerate his alleged behavior, especially if he hasn't gone to trial. >> i don't so. first of all, the cases very different. >> to be clear, they are. >> i was leaving -- was out there 20 years, i was tired of being in congress. the menendez case is different. i don't think it's a threat to the senate because i don't think he would win the nomination. the state is very democratic. we have a number of good candidates who could run and be our nominee. so i think the seat is safe. >> you think the seat is safe. senator, thank you so much for being with us, we do appreciate your time today.

>> glad to be with you. >> boris. the president's son versus the former president's attack dog. hunter biden has sued rudy giuliani claiming that he broke federal laws in an alleged effort to hack his laptop and other devices. this, as the latest in a string of lawsuits brought by hunter biden and it describes the total annihilation of his digital privacy as he's facing an indictment in a gun cass while additional tax charges could be on the horizon. cnn's paula reid joins us to talk about the lawsuit. what's it about? >> boris, here, hunter biden is suing rudy giuliani and giuliani's longtime former lawyer rob costello, alleging that these two hacked into hunter biden's data and disseminated in violation of state and federal law. now, giuliani and costello, they played a key role in publicizing data from a laptop that hunter biden is said to have left at a delaware repair shop.

costello obtained the data and giuliani helped him publicize it, especially ahead of the last presidential election. giuliani today shot back in a statement saying he was surprised that hunter biden would accuse him among other things manipulating the data from this device. and he also suggested that there was evidence of crimes on this laptop. now, this is just part of a more aggressive strategy that hunter biden and his attorneys have adopted since earlier this year. but, boris, they took up that strategy when it appears that the long-running criminal investigation into the president's son was winding down. that, if anything, would resolve with a plea deal. but we now know that plea deal has fallen apart. hunter biden now faces a criminal case in delaware. but it does not appear that he's backing off the strategy. remember, his legal team told me earlier today that anyone who was involved in this effort to publish hunter's data should be hearing, quote, foot steps. >> wow. so there is a question over the evidence that may be on this

laptop, these devices. because house republicans based so many of their allegations about hunter biden on that supposed evidence. could this case change the way that that information, that that data is then handled? >> i certainly don't think that this lawsuit is going to be a deterrent from republican lawmakers using some of the material from that laptop, for political purposes. but we have to remember, when it comes to the criminal 53 the justice department looked into hunter biden, to various possible charges for five years. and in the end, they initially offered a plea deal based on tax charges and diverted a gun charge. now, of course, he has been charged since that plea deal fell apart. but there is nothing on that laptop where they believe there's enough of evidence of a crime that they would charge it. i think that's an important distinction. politically, that laptop has been used and likely will continue to be used, it does not

appear to be at the heart of the five-year case. >> paula reid, thank you. police in virginia have arrested a man who attacked a church. how did they thwart his plans? stay ahead on "cnn news central."

police in northern virginia say they foiled what could have been a massacre. investigators say a man who posted threats on social media walked into a church on sunday just before services began with a loaded gun, ammo and knives. cnn's brynn gingras is following the story, how did police stop him and why did he target the church? >> yeah, boris, this is a

perfect example, see something, say something. that law enforcement say all the time. i want to show a time line of events that authorities say happened that foiled this plot that you just described that could have been disastrous at a church in fairfax county, virginia. 3:20 to 6:00 a.m., this suspect in custody, 35-year-old rui jiang. he was going to the church also making social media posts one of them we saw confirmed was his account shows a gun pointing the a screen of the church he was at. then according to police, he goes back to his residence. there are reports from the community that come about these social media posts being concerning, being alarming so police respond. they go to the house, they do a welfare check, he's not there, 10:00 a.m., the church is on high alert while services are actually happening. the community in the church is keeping an eye on them.

police arrive and they're actually able to arrest him on the spot, according to authorities inside that church where he was actually armed with a loaded firearm, as well as an extra magazine, as well as knives. the pastor there at the church said he was wearing all black. he was wearing sunglasses inside this church. and again, it could have been something pretty violent, disastrous that could have happened in that church had people not spoken up, right now, this 35-year-old is behind bars on two separate charges. he's expected to be back in court next month. but again, can't underscore this enough, boris, if you see something, say something because it really could have a positive effect in these situations. especially in places of worship which we know there have been attacks that have carried out in recent history. >> yeah, we're fortunate that folks spoke up in this case. brynn gingras from new york, thank you. brianna. it's been seven weeks since catastrophic wildfires reduced the historic town of lahaina
