senate is she is showcasing that mike rogers is a big fake and endorsed by trump and over here questioningnational security and it's totally outrageous and he left michigan and was living in florida and tried to move back and do it and it's not working. in terms of the presidential race the democrats have their sleeves rolled up alongside of harrison walz. we know what we have to do and just a little under 80 days and i am looking under that early vote. this accounts and we have to get it out and it is full steam ahead. i am doing campaign events around the clock. i am not stopping until we win. >> staying with michigan, the auto workers union announced a nationwide effort to mobilize members, active and retired, on the behalf of vice president harris. a few weeks after the uaw leadership endorsed her for president. michigan is home of much of the unions membership and made up of a considerable share of president biden support in the state in 2020. what is it mean for the vice president to have the support ahead of the convention and the election? >> the uaw is huge and how they are focusi

on the republican side mike rogers, again, expected winning the republican nomination, but what thisnificance of this race in november, obviously it's about senate control, but more specifically it's this, the democrats need to win two of the three of montana, ohio, west virginia. two of the three red states that they now have seats in that they're trying to hang on to to have any realistic chance of controlling the senate. they got to win two of those three likely. you get to a state like michigan, this is one republicans would like potentially to pad a potential majority in the senate. this is the kind of seat for democrats that sort of must win in addition to finding a way to win in those red states. it's a huge race in terms of the senate here, but for democrats, it's much more if they have any chance of controlling the senate, this one's must win for them. republicans have passed to senate control that don't require them to win michigan. >> thank you. and susan and basil are still with us. looking at that missouri primary and cori bush's loss, how much do you think was about gaz

[applause] thank you nice seeing you again. we are here to talk about how we are going to stop the, the crime wave going on at levels nobody's ever seen or. she's the most radical left is ever for high office, especially for the office of president people don't know the real kamala ideal people who do what i do also know -- she is so far left nobody can even imagine. his flip-flopping at the highest level ever seen in politics because she smollett policy and defund the police, you don't mind defunding, do you? would you vote for a deep under? the people you just don't want either but he's always been for defunding police and the person she is running with his you live far left, the most far left -- nobody's ever seen anything like it in the press is giving them a free press. if it wa

mike rogers. there he is. [applause] let's compare the record of failure of kamala harris with the record of success of donald j. trump. president trump created the strongest economy in history. at least within living memory of this country. in four years, america gained 7 million new jobs. 7 million new jobs in just four years. unemployment dropped to the lowest rate in 50 years. we lifted more than 10 million people off of welfare. household incomes soared to new records. after losing in the previous two administrations, one democrat, one republican, we lost 60,000 manufacturing jobs. 60,000 factories under the two previous administrations. under four years of president trump leadership, we built 12,000 new factories. that is what we can achieve one america's leaders put the citizens of america first. after covid, president trump set america on a path towards a powerful inflation free recovery. all kamala harris had to do was leave it alone. by the way, while we were on the topic, we have our friends in the

another great former congressman but would make a better united states senator, mike rogers is here, another great ally of law enforcement. what i realized in talking to these police officers and especially to the folks watching on tv is the failure to protect our communities is a policy choice. it is a policy choice to defund the police which is what kamala harris wants to do. it is a policy choice to open up the southern border and allow migrant criminals to come into this community and make it less safe. it is a policy choice to not support people to suspend deportations and that is what kamala harris did. i heard about a criminal who was deported from this community who came back in and then raped an 11-year-old girl just in the past couple of months. i am the father of a two year old girl and i cannot imagine having a government that cares so little about you that they are letting people who come into our communities get deported and come back in and then they rape our children. that is a policy choice of kamala harris on deportation and let somebody like that into our community

montana is 51 and going to ohio, another red state and see'and michigan there's an open seat and mike rogersg to state that president trump will be very competitive and it's a great shot to win it and going to maryland and larry hogan and open seat and it's a great candidate and it's a competitive race and thanksgiving 46-46 and then go to pennsylvania and dave mckormick and west wing grad and business guy and wonderful candidate and wisconsin, and that's a low single digit race right now and another business person and a banker there. so what we really focused on, larry, at the end of the day was finding candidates that can win not just a primary or general election and we've got to find republicans will reach beyond the maga crowd and non-inspect voters and that's the secret sauce to winning. larry: you got the money and operation and that stuff will be important. do you feel good about that, steve danes? >> it's raising out in the west and going to the west and that's not a new problem able to win. another great state is nevada. in nevada the last election in 2022, they elected a republic

now getting a race with a former republican to face offered democratic senate seat in michigan mike rogers us right now. we've invited the congresswoman selected to join us as well for an interview. we have yet to hear back. hope springs eternal. it's very good to have you. you had the backing of donald trump but you also have the backing of other prominent republicans of this race considered dead even. how do you compel voters and your state to say, many of whom think this could be an uphill fight for you that it isn't? >> the fact that we are tired last night and the primary. we won all 83 counties in our primary. a lot of people thought that the party was fractured enough that we couldn't do this. we won all 83 counties. we are all in the same boat rowing in the same direction. this is crazy. this really sounds crazy. people want normal. they want their border security. they don't want crime in their neighborhoods. they want their paycheck to last through the end of the month when they are buying groceries and don't want to have to mortgage their house put gas in the tank. they want to

the tv mandates have been a disaster for michigan and consequently you got a guy like mike rogers tied that open seats. we have a real good chance to win michigan. i think arizona another open seat, carey lake is tied running against her opponent who is the most liberal senate candidate on the ballot. we like our odds in arizona. look at maryland. larry hogan, outstanding candidate. another open seat in a state that larry was the elected republican governor twice. in the state that we know that kamala harris will win maryland, that's nothing knew but larry hogan is one of these maverick independent guys. >> neil: he has but in the case of his situation in maryland and carrie lynn and arizona, the polls seam to show up out of four or five-point gap. that could change to your point but it will be kind of a battle down to november right? >> it will. schumer has to pitch a perfect game. everyone is... he's got to beat either ted cruz or rick scott in those states if he ever wants to hold this majority. looking at it objectively, you would say the republicans are in a strong position to win

[ laughter ] >> good morning, good to see you. very busy. >> look, i think people sort of look at these house and senate races as really the same race, but they really aren't. a statewide race is different from a congressional race and the fact that the democrats have been able to manage that split screen where they are now in a position, it looks like, to be not just competitive to me but hold the senate along certain grounds. no, things still have to fall in place with some of

but you have leaders that head of the foreign affairs, mike turner who is intelligent, mike rogers in the armed services who stayed committed to this and there democratic partners also stayed committeder to this who were unrelenting, and they were staying on encouraging mike johnson. then thehe intelligence was showing things like the freedom caucus members like marjorie taylor green and others that were literally echoing the russian talking points and a number of us that were recently in germany. we heard that from the members that the right wing is also echoing the russian talking points. so these people were very steady and getting the information out. they were working with think tanks and people in washingtonhe to get the message out and allies and i know that there were all kinds of information flows going in and president biden was working very carefully to t not attack. people weree really kind of holding back the political attacks to make this deal work. and that's kind of washington at its best. you could actually get this through. it's very archaic, but the rule went throug

you are running for an open senate seat against mike rogers. has your race shifted or changed since the top of the democratic ticket changed? what have you seen? >> it is hard to overstate the amount of energy that has been generated by the change. i did not totally anticipate it. whether it is in our cities, our suburbs, even our conservative areas, people are walking into democratic offices, saying, hey, i never come to one of these things but how do i volunteer? we have seen a number of people signing up to volunteer just going through the roof and i think people feel really positive. they want a generational shift and president biden did an incredibly patriotic thing but you can feel that desire to kind of move on and from him but also from trump. i think people want to feel good again. that is something the top of the ticket change has really helped with. amna: you know something about winning very tight races. your race currently is rated tossup. you feel like your chance has improved because the ticket changed? >> letter turnout among de

what's your message to voters who may be undecided still between slotkin and republican mike rogers?he's the person fighting for everyday concerns. she's the person who helped lead the effort on the prescription drug effort, to take on the drug companies and health care. she's prepared as a former cia agent, serving in iraq. she's running against somebody who was in office, then left to go to florida, became a florida resident, took a whole bunch of money from the drug companies. and became very wealthy, and is now coming back to michigan. and i think he's just out of touch, and she's the real deal. and she'll get it done. >> senator debbie stabenow, thank you very much for spending some time with us this morning. it's good to have you with us. >> thank you. >>> up next on ana cabrera reports, disgraced former congressman george santos due in court today. now set to plead guilty to charges, what a potential plea deal could look like. night and day. despite treatment, it's still not under control. but now i have rinvoq. a once-daily pill that reduces the itch and helps clear the rash

for republicans that was holding it up, but you had leaders like mike, who heads up the affairs, mike rogers, armed services, who stayed committed to this and their democratic partners also stayed committed to this, who were unrelenting, and they were staying on really encouraging micah johnson to look at the intelligence, and then the intelligence was showing things like these freedom caucus members like marjorie taylor green and others were literally echoing russian talking points. a number of us who were recently in germany, we heard that from bundestag members that their right wing is also echoing russian talking points, so these people were very studying in -- steady and getting the information out, working with think tanks and people in washington to get the message out and allies and i know there were all kinds of, you know, information flows going in very steadily and president biden was working very carefully to not attack. people were really kind of holding back political attacks to make this deal work and that is kind of washington at its best, that you could actually get this thr

so is the guy i will be running against, mike rogers. watch him.ve a choice this election in which kind of midwest, which country we want. do we want something hopeful and positive or divisive? we know what we want. the other side of the aisle is going to claim they care about the middle class, about your job. what they want is your vote, they don't give a living -- about you. so in those contrasting visions, we know which one we pick. lastly, because i know you are excited to get to the main attraction. those of you who are not convinced by the importance of this election and your democracy, the vision of america, the country we love, none of you would be here if you did not love our country. if you did not love our country, you would not be here. if none of those things convince you, let me say one thing about midwestern values. you will have to excuse me. we will not let no red blooded michigander will let a buckeye get into the white house. -- [applause] >> hello, michigan. you know what i see when i look at this crowd -- >> what i see when i l

. >> mike rogers them for that exact different on the party would punish people for not doing the thing that was right by him, even if it was the thing that was right by them. that is one of the differences here. and we've talked a lot about how that quote from susie wiles, i keep going back to it and that tim alberta piece where she said, i'm not concerned about joe biden, but i am concerned about the advantage of the democratic party the democratic party has a structure that gives permission to these people to do what they need to do to win. and it's led by, first of all, nancy pelosi. but chuck schumer is on board think about them attacking larry hogan of republican candidate who could win and maryland. >> thank you both for being here. great reporting. we will be here all night, jake, obviously right here all the kitchen bench and for watching the delegates start to trickle in the united center. >> okay. >> i'm going to send you some popcorn because i know you're going to be there for awhile coming up next, not to be overshadowed by the obama's second gentleman, doug emhoff. wants t

how is your race going, and what is mike rogers saying about you?sday. but all expectations is that, you know, that'll be me against him. i mean, look, i think the hardest thing for many of us to watch is the way that people pledge fealty to donald trump. even people who criticized the president in the past, thinking about running against him in the presidential race. just to watch this 180 degree turn of someone who, in order to get the support for his, you know, primary, just did whatever donald trump asked him to do. i think that's the difference. if you look at what has happened over the past four weeks, you know, democrats struggled. we were quote, unquote, in turmoil. we were dealing with the top of the ticket. issues we were concerned about, but we dealt with them. we had the conversation. we dealt wit. president biden did this heroic thing while he was negotiating a hostage deal, by the way, announced he'd come down and not run again. the top of the ticket on the other side of the aisle, all it is is fealty. i think that's the big delta ther

congressman is running to replace against you against congressman mike rogers.w weeks ago, had mentioned on a call with donors that you are doing a radical thing by passing the torch. joe biden thereafter shortly followed your path. i am wondering if you can talk a little about the decision- making process and whether you have any advice to some of your fellow colleagues in the senate about whether they should do the same? >> first, i have to say, i am so proud of elissa slotkin, who is going to win my seat, which is very exciting. she won by well over 75% in her contested primary and i am very excited about that. for me, i just think it is very important to know when to pass the torch both for personal reasons it was important to me. my mom is 98. i have got grandkids i want to spend more time with. i also think that we are at a time when we need more ideas, new energy. i think that what the president did was very courageous. i think it is important to be able to make those decisions. the president called me the day after he had made that decision and said, you
