something congresswoman debbie dingell talked about was the great love story of mr. and mrst and former first lady. and a representative dingell said they had a love affair like most you never see. they fell in love as teenagers. they were together more than 77 years, your thoughts? >> 77 years is a really long time molly it's longer than the life expectancy of most americans sprayed the fact they are married that long happily is a testament to their marriage as we heard from britt a testament to the christian faith as well. you mention they went on a blind date met when they run teenagers on a blind date right after that date jimmy carter's are going to marry that woman. what's incredible jimmy carter's mother was a nurse delivered that woman, rosalynn carter, into this world for this is a small town story from plains, p, george is only fitting by the way president joe biden and jill are at naval station norfolk right now honoring the crews of the uss gerald ford to strike a group which had to be extended into the mediterranean through this war. the fact the preside

joining us now, debbie dingell from michigan. i appreciate your time.ly remember a conversation we had in the fall of 2016 where you were raising major alarms about what was about to happen in your state. do you feel the same way now? >> so i'm going to be very candid. i have been saying for months that michigan is a purple state. everybody wants to look at -- and my dear friend, governor gretchen whitmer, and the democrats that are up and down the ticket say it's a blue state. it's not, and we like to flip. i have run many campaigns there, but i have been saying this for months. the good news is that people like you and the biden campaign are taking me seriously. they're listening. i know what we have to do to win. we've got to do a better job of talking about what we have gotten done during this first term, what's been delivered to the people of michigan. get into those union halls and talk to the guys and do a comparison of what happened when donald trump was president before and what's happened now as joe biden has been president. and we have to put

michigan congresswoman debbie dingell thinks this is the wrong approach. let's listen to what she says. >> we've got to do a better job of talking about what we have gotten done during this first term. if joe biden doesn't run well, you're not going to run well. so let's start giving him credit for what he has done. we all have to do a better job of talking about what has gotten done because of joe biden's leadership. >> if anything i've learned covering politics, it's that you should probably listen to debbie dingell if you are a democrat. she was out ahead warning about michigan even in the primary for hillary clinton, which hillary clinton to bernie sanders. she was sounding some alarm bells. and going into the general they were not listened to by the clinton campaign so much. what is the lesson here? are people listening to her now? >> i could not agree more with congresswoman dingell because let's remember that 2024 joe biden is on the ballot. he's at the top of that ballot, right? in 2022 he was not. today he is not. in the special elections where de

is wrapping up 2023 future of health summit day in washington, earlier this week congresswoman debbie dingelleeds to treat healthcare like national security issue, if we had another pandemic we don't have capability to produce the in this can you be i want your take an reliance on supply chain owed of america for things like medicine. >> during covid we discovered whether india-pakistan, china, that we didn't manufacture the ingredients needed for many medicines and vaccines the supply chain risk is could you get the ingredients to produce. the united states, for the first time ever really in history, with hhs, when costing this country one trillion dollars a month, economically, decided they would put up money to build factors before we knew the court we put up money in manufactured vaccines antivirals before we knew they worked we had a supply, and the minute they worked it was available, today, we understand that supply chain it needs to be strengthened. maria: sure does. >> and if it was amazing very educational to the american leadership to understand that we don't produce in this countr

. >> lastly and briefly, we had congresswoman debbie dingell of ichigan on the show yesterday, sounding to the israel-hamas war. is this a problem? >> they're aware they need to keep their coalition together, which is a tenuous, you know, group of constituencies that they all have to deal with. arab-americans and young voters are deeply concerned about what is happening in this conflict in the middle east. i think that this is something that they are aware of. even last night when we saw president joe biden call for a pause, that was sort of a calibration, the way he's talked about this. i think in some ways, to acknowledge this is a very complicated issue. even people within his own party are really upset. >> the margins expect to be slim in states like michigan. if voters stay home, that could be the difference. terrific reporting this morning. politicalreporter elena schneider. thank you. thank

representative debbie dingell. amendment. >> we need to stop drunk driving by making impairment prevention technology standard in new vehicles. it does not mandate kill switches or allow data collection that invades vehicle occupant's privacy. i protect data privacy nor vehicles probably than the more of this sponsors of this does. it's ridiculous and it doesn't monitor how you drive. >> laura: congressman, please respond to those tones. >> she needs to read the bill that she voted for. that he was the problem. it does. after she said that, i did read her the bill. here's the other thing. this isn't a breathalyzer. 31 states already have ignition interlock devices where if you have been convicted of a dui you have to blow through that in order to start your car. that's not what this is. this bill also has the ability, it says, car manufacturers need to somehow passively monitor the air in the car to see if you have been drinking. the problem with that is what if you are the designated driver and you are trying to g

joining us now democratic congresswoman debbie dingell of michigan.he show, which is the newly elected house speaker, mike johnson. he's proposing an aid package for israel and israel alone. nothing with ukraine or border security or china. and he wants to pay for, he wants to use off sets. president biden has already said that's a nonstarter, we'll veto that. what's your take, though, on what is the opening move by this new speaker? >> well, look, i wanted to give the new speaker a chance. i've worked with mike and introduced bills with him in the past, but i do not agree with the way he is handling this. i will be following the white house and democratic leadership's recommendation to not vote for this bill. and i don't think it shows that he's reaching out and trying to pull people together working with the white house or the senate. senator mitch mcconnell is opposed to the way that this is being done. his proposal divides ukraine funding from israel funding and does not include any humanitarian aid. it is a nonstarter. and by the way does not hel

. >> sandra: debbie dingell. thank you for joining us. at 81, is he too old to serve? >> look, i think everybody wants to talk about his age. i think that we want to have people with experience. he is gonna be the nominee next year and i think we are a year out from the election and he's going to have to demonstrate and will show people he is totally up to this job and will be compared to whoever gets the republican nomination, which at the moment is likely to be donald trump. >> john: numb we ares can change, we are a year out, but a new poll in michigan shows the following, donald trump would win the state 46-41% if the election were held today. contrast with biden in 2020, his support, biden's, dropping among female voters and among african american voters. is he in trouble in michigan? >> john, i'm always the right person to ask this question of because nobody, even those at fox believed me when i said donald trump could win in 2015, and every poll showed that hillary clinton was going to win and i was out in those halls, my gut was there, and i predicted that dona

debbie dingell was on and sounding red alarms. shouting at the screen, be careful.epresents who are very unhappy right now in how he handled the situation. they feel he sided with israel. she's concerned -- she noted, we are still 53 weeks out, there's a long time before the election. in a race where margins are so slim, michigan is representative of a place where he could be in trouble because of this. he is going to minnesota today. it's another state not like others, but one that will be competitive. donald trump has played there before. a large arab american population. we don't know if he will address this today. we know it's on the west wing's radar. they can read the pulse. they see this could be an issue going forward. not that necessarily muslim americans are going to turn out for donald trump. it's whether they stay home. >> walter, it's i think important for white house to underline the reality that they have been supportive of israel. they have leaned on netanyahu hard to be cautious in his approach to rooting out hamas. and also in his speech, we were l
