rachel: he is pro union, pro federal government union. o manufacturing union you wouldn't be pushing ev cars to begin with because they don't need as many workers to produce. they are really expensive, the industry is in a people because of this rapid transition that has been distorted by government subsidies, there is no way, they can't even compete with the ev cars that elon musk is creating in china, manufacturing over there with those subsidies with current wages. imagine if they increase by 40%, not going to happen. this administration is more beholden to its elite climate change in their boutique interests than he is for workers. pete: fascinating to know how union workers feel about president biden describing himself as the most pro union president. grady trimble asked a worker at uaw. >> president biden says he's the most pro union president in history, you just roll your eyes. >> if he was, where is he now? why are we out here? he hasn't done anything. we the people are doing it. the union, the teamsters, the uaw, ourselves. it's

he is the most pro-union _ movement at all? he is the most pro-union leader _ movement at all?seen, or that's how he likes to tout himself in the idea that under his watch she would see a strike that potentially has such a huge implication for the broader economy because of the shutdown goes on and lasts for an extended period of time there is concern about what it will mean for suppliers to these car companies and for local dealerships and there are talks whether it will push up car prices and suppliers will find themselves in difficulties. and i understand the white house has been speaking to them to see the assistance they need but if you think back to the recent big strike on the cards, that will involve the railroads in the present have the authority to demand work not strike on the presidents and have that power when it comes to the car—makers. it's between the two parties and what they can do is apply leveraged and that appears to be the case and they seem to be saying that to the car—makers to keep them at the table but at the moment it seems most sides are far apart an

i make no apologies for being labeled the most pro union president many history. united auto workers union, they tell a different story. pete: if they love him so much, why are they on strike nor minnmore -- more than ever. a growing trend of work stoppages under this administration and a couple of graphs in a moment that will explain this. you've got the united auto workers, united if this is a historic in that often there's strikes against maybe ford or gm but to be on all three, this is stellantis and more. will: couldn't come to an agreement on thursday anything and planning to meet and 146,000 workers could walk off the job. pete: it's only a fraction of this on strike. with the uab is saying is if our demands aren't met more and more and more plants will be targeted for chose yuri colins and ford has laid off 600 people as we learn this morning and it'll go both directions. will: the auto industry is a major impact on the economy and our political landscape and michigan ski to the auto industry is a swing state. pete: it's a big state and we have expectations

doing what he has always done when is to stand with american workers he is proud of being the most pro-union pro worker president, not only compared to the trump administration, with antiunion policies but really compared to any modern president auto companies can thrive in a win-win deal that does what president has called for which is to say record profits, should lead to record pay record benefits. . >> elizabeth, i don't know what he is talking about in terms of the pro-union president and antiunion policies from trump, i think that was just made up. liz: [chuckling] i think probably right the revenue president biden is going to join picket line because bleeding support, from union workers, this has been going on sometime, donald trump attracted a lot of voters in have michigan, and other states, that are union states because why? he had pro-business growth policies led to increased incomes what we've seen under this president is a decline of 4% in real income, people are worse off, including union members maria. this particular strike is extremely complicated, obviously, the auto worker

. >> sfrermt and as the pro union president try to oomt full display. the white house has not said where the president will be, but he will be walking a picket line and the first time that a president is believed to have done so. it is okay that they have thel but the there is going to be a remarkable split screen taking place over the next 24 hours. not just biden here today, but former president donald trump is also going to be in detroit area to talk to union formers instead of depraer bait. it is when both man sgro sgror with 62% of the vote compared to 46% of former president donald trump, and with the constituency that both of the group is trying to form could mean for economic positions. the president says he pup sorti sortinging pop but weight sflo >>> he is standing with the workerssh and we are not involved woman we are standing with the workers involved. that is what the president is do. >> to make the workers involved, in the ole important electrics sfloerm. >> and going to the ground ball, vanessa what are yoip. >> in a few hour, it is bizn

don't take it from me, take it from pro-union joe himself. >> i intend to be the most pro-union presidenteading the most pro-union administration in american history. i meant what i said when i said i'm going to be the most pro-union president in american history, and i make no apologies for it. i'm proud to be the most pro-union president. larry: well, you couldn't convince the union, i think, of all that. anyway, the key point here is that joe biden's evs could spell the end of the uaw, and union leaders know it. studies have shown, by the way, that electric vehicles require only about 40% of the hours worked compared to gas-powered cars. in fact, the entire auto industry, including the knock-on effects for dealers and repair shops and gas stations and kinders and who knows what else -- diners and who knows what else, all that could obliterate a half a million jobs, maybe even more. plus, of course, the uaw faces stiff competition from right-to-work states in the south and elsewhere where a lot of the ev car and battery subsidies are being invested. so between the combination of joe bid

he needs the majority of the independent voter, 50% are not pro union. you cannot win with just your base, either him or trump, cannot endorse unions when half the independents don't endorse them. trump wants to stay out of that debate and for biden to do it and show up, the first living president to do this, i think it's bad election policies. the advisors are saying i'm not sure, boss, not sure i like this one, the independents see it on the news tonight, that takes me over the age. and 50% of the independents, they want a negotiated settlement but don't do allegiance either way. >> sandra: and the split screen for the border where he is not visiting, but did show up at the picket lines. john. >> john: sandra, fox news alert, what is the president missing by not visiting the border? well, this is the latest influx of illegal migrants across the rio grande in eagle pass, texas, we have been for the last week. bill melugin was down there a number of days, griff jenkins is there as well. and this is the latest group of migrants to walk across, wade across

. >> i'm proud to be the most pro-union president. >> the most pro-union president. >> i'd be the most pro-union president in american history >> reporter: today saying, strong unions are good for the economy. >> autoworkers help create america's middle class. they deserve a contract that sustains them and the middle class. >> reporter: but his climate agenda also puts him behind the wheel of electric vehicles, touting american automakers' investment to move away from fossil fuels. that transition a key issue in negotiations. >> come on, jump in. i'll give you a ride to washington. >> reporter: republicans blaming mr. biden. >> president biden has been more focused on giving hundreds of billions of dollars of green money to these big auto dealers and not actually delivering for the american worker. >> reporter: and big picture, any risks of harm to the u.s. economy fall on his watch with the 2024 campaign looming the gop front-runner has blasted a biden administration proposal that two-thirds of new passenger cars sold in the u.s. be electric by 2032. former president trump in an inter

policies making sure that his pro union policies are indeed pro workers. >> should we take from the of the union workers as opposed to the company? >> well, he has been very clear, right. he is pro uaw, he is pro workers, you know, that is -- that is this president. he has said the middle class was built, the union has built the middle class. something he said over and over again. always on the side of workers. he believes that there is an opportunity here and he is encouraged and pleased by seeing both sides continue to have that conversation. it is their negotiation to make, why he says he believes in collective bargaining and he believes there could be a win-win agreement here. but he's always going to stand on the side of workers, always. i'll come to you after, joey. >> trump's decision to visit the uaw workers play into your decision to go? >> absolutely not. this is a decision, based on his own desire, what the president wanted to do to stand, to stand with auto workers. that's what you are going to see the president do tomorrow and he, as you all know, sean's invitation from

he's living up to his boast that he is the most pro—union american president in history. —class built the country. the unions built the middle—class. cheering. that's a fact. so let's keep going, you deserve what you've earned, and you've earned a hell of a lot more than you get paid now. applause and cheering. he is of course looking to earn their votes — votes that in key states like michigan could make all the difference in next year's presidential election. some are looking for him to do more than just show up. he's got a lot of work to do. the uaw hasn't endorsed him yet. we'll see if he puts that work in. he's the first president in us history to join a picket line, that's doing something. that is doing something, that is doing something. but we need a little bit more. 12 days into this strike, the auto workers are demanding higher wages and a shorter working week. a married couple, michelle and lyle mund — both work full—time at this gm plant, yet they say they're struggling since inflation has eroded their wages. and what's like as a family trying to survive on wha

. >> i worked for president biden a long time and one of the most pro-union and encouraged parties to work 24 and 7 to get a win-win agreement that keeps u.a.w. workers at the heart of our future and ensure that they are good middle-class jobs. the president understands that one of the focuses, one of the things that unions do they fairly distribute the benefits of growth. if you are baking the pie and contributing to productivity and union workers and auto workers contribute to that, you ought to get a fair shake and he has always supported unions. there is a long economic literature showing that unions and dynamic i am explaining to you are closely associated with the equitable distribution of earnings and one of the reasons why he is a pro-union president and why he has talked about that in the context of bidenomics. empowering workers. he believes the auto workers deserve a contract that sustains middle-class jobs and wants parties to work around the clock to get a win-win agreement. he has encouraged them to do so and an agreement that keeps the workers at the heart of our auto f

president biden has called himself the most pro-union president in the history of the nation.u talk about what we are seeing, what we're looking at right now, does a district now place president biden between two of his top policy goals? >> you know, green energy is vital. our world is on fire, and that needs to be a priority, but anything be done in a way in which the administration asset, needs to be done in a way that the workers are engaged, and the jobs don't go elsewhere, that the parts are made here. i would love it if the parts are made in michigan. our governor has been fighting for that forever. i think, if we can accomplish climate goals and make some strides there without hurting our workforce, they time and talent that goes into making all the vehicles, it is a win win for the planet and the economy. >> what we're seeing right now, we're watching the uaw president walk through the cloud. he clearly has supporters that are there that are fully supportive of what he is speaking up on behalf of president biden needs at the automakers to sustain's policies. president

of course, he described himself as the most pro-union president in history. boost competitive wages and competitive conditions for union workers across the board. but at the same time, he is also balancing this desire to transition to a clean energy future. that is at the heart of some of these negotiations as these auto workers the unions and the auto companies are dealing with the transition to electric vehicles. but in a few hours, they haven't given us an exact time. we are expecting to hear from president biden about these latest negotiations as the uaw has now gone on strike. >> yeah. the words the president chooses one will have to be very careful, not a party to these negotiations. they are very cognizant of that fact in these moments but the uaw with held its endorsement up to now. michigan is a huge piece of biden's map to 270 electoral votes. this is going to be really fascinating. keep us posted throughout the course of the morning. >>> fulton county judge in the georgia elections subversion case shutting down the district attorney fani willis' eff

so the most pro union president in us history as a country faces of a tooth label crisis. of course, the present mean i'd say it doesn't bode well for them. that there is a strength of let alone from an organization that has been something up and allies . so i would imagine that he's in a very uncomfortable position right now. having to weigh the interest of the auto makers on the one hand versus the union workers that he's claim to be the champion of. he said that he was going to be the most pro union president and us history, which was a pretty tremendous claim for something like him to make. although he did say 2 weeks ago that there were quote, there will be no, you a w strikes. um i think now it's an opportunity for him to put his money where his mouth is so to speak, because a group thing he has that the democratic party has relied on for support for a very long time is now on stripe. given the issues of gasoline prices, food, prizes, everything being more expensive, the value of our dollar being diminished. so yeah, these are the bread and butter issues that matter

we spent the last block outlining the ways in this administration has been remarkably decidedly pro-union and filers you're seeing a lot of them pretty disallusioned and this is from politico reporting, uaw democrats were for the working people. that has changed. i'm telling you what -- what to do about this perception and what is at the root of it? >> look, we've just got to keep talking about it. you did a fantastic job laying out what the president has done, really undoing a lot of the damage the last administration did when they were not pro-union, when they were not about the workers. and so here's the thing, and the president talks about this every time we talk about the economy, every time we talk about these types of issues about how much he has been for unions. he's a pro-union guy, how he believes that we have to continue to build an economy that really puts workers add the middle, right -- he always says the unions built the middle class which is incredibly true. he's been saying that for years. here's the thing, if you look at the last two years, you see how collective bargain

i was just about to, i don't know to watch which would mean to be pro union, but what i know is that he's pro cook top is interested in the maximize ation of proceeds for self interest. we have seen the case of a ton top b, then we have seen other cases that's related to the and bleach mandel bit meaning totty industrial. and as you admitted to the industrial comm labs, the encouragement of for me to try to come by use, by an endless was 5 feet in best buy. i doubt previous presidents of the united states. so being pro union, i am not shaw wanting to mean and what insights in expedite does is one of it because in a don't tie what you to me and that's what you to be about to actually do know is that he is prohibited and has to be making a lot of money. all told it was how tough it means that he makes rotational court because and out of the documentation of the united states into safe havens owing to save hasn't been the top 3 from took station and money. the also, it needs that uncomfortable to participate in society. the work of the united states have always been in the value of the b

have to choose to be what you i is just about to i don't, i'm not sure what the truth means to the pro union. but what i know is that he's prohibited. he's interested in the maximize ation of the pro fees for self interest. we have seen the case of a ton top b, then we have seen other cases that's related to the end bleach mandel bit media tied industrial. and that you admitted to the industrial comm labs, the engagement of for media type and company's buying. and this was, are 5 feet in best buy are the previous presidents up they noted states. so being pro union, i am not show what the truth means and what inside the administrative does is one of the guessing that don't tie square what you to me and that's what it would be. but what we do know is that he is prohibited, and it has to be making a lot of money. all told it was how took that means that he an expectation of work house. and i took the documentation of the united states into safe havens owing to save hasn't been the 3 from took station and money that goes to it needs that uncomfortable to participate in society. their work on sun

, be interpreted in the context of an election year, president biden touting himself as the most pro-unionand on the other hand, unions have been punching bags for republicans, just one example, yesterday, here's nikki haley, listen to this. >> it tells you that when you have the most pro-union president and he touts that he's emboldening the unions that's what you get. who pays for it is the taxpayers. >> talking about the uaw strike and blaming president biden for that and she was bragging about being as a union buster. how do you think this will play out politically? >> i think depending on the resolution of the strike if biden comes out clearly to support the workers, which he did yesterday, i think that will serve him well in states like michigan and other key battleground states in the upper midwest. these are going to be critical to the outcome of the next presidential election, unions are still strong in these states. and biden needs to win a significant majority of votes not just from union members in those states but also union households, you know -- >> but it's complicated, rig

ronald reagan, the republican conservative, was the head of a union, and he was pro-union. president and running for re-election. the fact is, is that this so-called pro-union president is driving a lot of union job jobs it's in the oil industry or whether it's in the auto industry, driving them to nonunion states or to china. so, you know, it's not -- people think that the republicans represent anti-union and democrats are pro-union. it's not always the case. >> well, yeah. look at reagan negotiated the first strike in screen actors' guild history, sag, and beat -- he actually beat the studios. he did a great job. and he basically won that strike. he was the five-time president of sag, so he knew how to negotiate. he spent a lot of time at ge in the plants, in those days ge had a lot of plants around the country, and reagan used to visit them and, you know, talk about free markets and, you know, why socialism fails and things of that sort. by the way, trump, trump is very similar. you know, trump worked at construction sites. trump was an accomplished negotiator in a varie

>> look, what the president has been very clear about is that he has been pro union, a pro union guyws in his record. even shows these last two years of what he has been able to do. he believes in his collective bargaining, and he believes in the right to strike, and he believes that it's up to these groups to come together and come and have this negotiation. we are helping in any way we can. we are engaging in any way we can. but, look -- he believes, corporate profits, if both companies -- uaw should also have a record contract. they are having these record profits and so that is what is important to the president. he is about the unions. he has always said, there would be no middle class would throughout the unions. >> there has been reporting in politico and other outlets that there was a lot of negative feedback that came after he made those comments, including commerce woman debbie dingell -- >> everybody has their opinion, and i think that's important to have. what i can speak to is the presidents record, when it comes to being pro union, what he has done the past two years, a

>> well look, what the president has been very clear about is that he has been pro union, a pro unionery long time, before he was present. and you see that, it shows in his record, and even shows these last two years, of what he has been able to do. he believes in collective bargaining, he believes in the right to strike, and he believes that it is up to these groups to come together, and have this negotiation. we are helping in any way we can, we are engaging in any way we can. but look, he believes that corporate profits, if both companies are gonna have core, profits that the uaw is going to have a record contract. right, they are having these record profits, and so that is what's important to the president, he is about the unions, he has always said that there would be no middle class without the unions. >> there has been reportings in politico, and other outlets, there is a lot of negative feedback that came after these comments, including from congresswoman debbie dingell. is that accurate? >> look, i'm not going to get into any private conversations, everybody has their opinion

. >> reporter: president biden once again touted himself as the most pro-union president as he tried to rally workers here ahead of a labor day parade. president biden really trying to lean in to the, quote, bidenomics he's been promoting, trying to make his case to american voters that the policies he has put in place are starting to pay off with the economy, when it comes to the unemployment rate, the number of jobs created, and other measures as well. president biden in a speech today notably took quite a few swipes at his predecessor, former president donald trump. he never named him by name, but he did try to make a contrast with him when it comes to the economy. take a listen. >> when last guy was here, you were shipping jobs to china. now we're a bringing jobs home from china. [ applause ] >> when the last guy was here, pensions were at risk. we helped save millions of pensions for you at home. when the last guy was here he looked at the world from park avenue. i look at it from scranton , pennsylvania. >> reporter: the president promoted the fact that he was able to get an in

president, the most pro union administration in american history. >> i'm proud to be the most pro union president in american history. >> i promise you you have a uniton president, and i am because you're the best. >> this is something that you hear over and over. it's also certainly no coincidence that one of the biggest endorsmentes of the campaign rolled out soon after the president announced his reelection was the joint historic endorsement by the major unions. but you are going to seat tension. president biden is basically going to have to walk this fine line between showing support for the unions and their strength as possible while trying to find a residolution to make sure this doesn't have a broader impact on the economy. experts tell us you're going to start to feel this if the strike goes on in a week. if it goes on for two weeks or longer, it could really be devastating. so we're expecting to hear the president say later today that he's sending two top deputies out to detroit to kind of see if they can't be a direct party to negotiation, but see what they can do to help thin

he has campaigned on being the most pro union president. there's an election coming up next year and those union workers will be crucial for his reelection chances in a key state like michigan. the uaw has yet to endorse him so you heard the leader say the president is standing up for working people so this could be big in the relations between the president and that union before his reelection push. jon: beyond that, what can the president do? in terms of legal intervention, this is a different situation than what we saw in the rail industry. guest: not to get too wonky, but freight rails are governed by separate law been auto strike. the president does not have a lot of levers to pull. one thing he can do is use his pulpit he did today, go out to the picket line, say to the auto companies you should pay these workers what they are asking to try to bring this to conclusion. the president getting up there today getting behind the union demands, but this is not a president who wants a prolonged strike. he understands the economic damage it c

. >> president biden: i intend to be the most pro-union president in history. a lot of politicians in this country can't say the word union. i'm not one of them. i'm proud to say the word and be the most pro-union president in american history. [cheering] >> president biden: i promised you i would be, i said i would be the most pro-union president in american history and make no apology for it. >> carley: the feeling does not seem mutual. brooke singman has more. >> brooke: the country's largest auto workers union speeding toward historic strike that would cost the u.s. economy $5 billion in just 10 days. president biden is brushing off that threat. >> mr. president, are you aware of an auto strike? [indiscernible] -- don't think it is going to happen. >> brooke: the president of the auto unioned he was shocked to hear him say that at this point. they want cost of living allowances and defined benefits and pension. when corporation come to the government, there is always a raent why it can't happen. it is earned, actions speak louder than words. >> brooke: the p

why is that if he is the most pro union president we ever had? >> biden is here to make the case, picketing himself directly, that he really is a staunch supporter of unions. it is critical at this time that he's going to convince these voters that his clean energy agenda is in line with the values and priorities of union workers, create more jobs for union workers and doing it when trump is trying to make the case that biden and biden's agenda will take jobs from these workers. this is at a point where biden knows he needs to convince voters that he always had their back and will have these people and every interest in making sure the strike ends as quickly as possible so it does not increase and impact the supply-chain in a way that will impact the economy when voters are having a hard time believing the positive economic metrics we are seeing as biden struggles, voters struggle to connect with biden. ashley: those polls bear that out. the president struggling, his performance, bidenomics, and a lovely endorsement at the uaw. it is an opportunit

he's long called himself the most pro-union president in history and the white house says that's why he is going to be doing something in their words, that is historic and joining the picket line directly with those workers and the white house took pains today to say that it is not to be seen as an endorsement of the specific terms that uaw workers are seeking. here's how the president secretary put it in the last hour. >> i'm not going to get into negotiations and this is for the parties to negotiate and i'm want speaking to what's on the table. what we've said over and over again, we believe there is an opportunity for a win-win agreement. corporations having record, you know, making record, you know, deals, there should be a uaw should have a record contract and that's what the autoworkers deserve. that's what workers deserve more broadly. >> there's a reason the white house is walking such a fine line here. it's because since the early days of his presidency, biden has eked out a position that unlike donald trump he's not going to put his thumb on the scale of third-party negotia

and you've seen this in the last two years with his pro-union policies making sure that his pro-unions are indeed pro-workers. >> but no mention there of the regulations and incentivizing the president is doing to eliminate these jobs behind me. the uaw has yet to endorse president biden. back to you. >> harris: you laid it out beautifully there. he wants to talk a transition to e.v.s. the problem is i don't think he envisions transition. when you lay off 40% of the workers, the union workers, that's a cliff dive. that's not a transition. this ought to be interesting. i'm glad you are there. as you said new picket lines popping up everywhere you go. thank you. thank you for the reporting. missouri's attorney general just sued a st. louis area school district over its transgender bathroom policy. the board kept that policy in closed meetings without telling any parents or even letting them weigh in. the attorney general says that violates the state's open meetings law. one school board member claimed it's really none of the parents' blankty blank pis who is in the bathroom with their k

he claims the most pro union president in history.he met with workers this morning as part of the labor day celebration. >> it's labor day, let me tell you what we're celebrating. we're celebrating jobs, good paying jobs, jobs you can raise a family on. union jobs. wall street didn't build america. the middle class built america, and unions built the middle class. >> now, president biden himself has not been in a union, as far as we can find. he went straight into law out of college and law school, but other presidents certainly have been. ronald reagan was union president as head of the screen actor's guild in the late '40s and early '50s. unions have had a brilliant resurgence lately. ups workers just negotiated a new contract. drivers will earn $175,000 in pay and benefits a few years from now, even starbucks locations are unionizing, $20 an hour for baristas and more dependable schedules as well. the big challenge for president biden, both in the speech in pennsylvania and in general is convincing americans the economy is getting

he's an unapologetically pro-union president.union policies of the trump administration, but really, with respect to presidents of both parties over the last half century. he's proud of the fact that he's the most pro-union and pro-worker among them. >> and cnn's jasmine wright joins us now with more. jasmine, good morning. what kind of statement does this trip make? >> yeah, well, it's an extraordinary amount of support that president biden will offer strikers of the ate auto workers group, really it is unprecedented for a president to go on the striking lines. we haven't heard of it so far. so the president basically is going to be making a historic trip on tuesday. now it also comes after he faced a lot of political structure as the strikers were asking him to do more. we just heard buttigieg call him the most pro-union president, and want to see president biden actually live up to that label. as we've seen over the course of the last three years really bringing in labor movements inside of the white house, holding those event

. >> president biden says he's the most pro union president in american history, but you haven't endorsedwhat is it going to take for you to do that? >> our endorsements are going to be earned. we've been clear about that, no matter what politician -- >> how does he earn it? >> we expect action, not words. you know, this fight we're in right now, obviously, you know, people are talking about them trying to interject themselves into our negotiations. you know, this negotiating -- our negotiators are fighting hard, our leadership is fighting hard. it's going to be won at the negoiating table with our teams, with our members manning the picket lines and allies out there. who the president is now, who the former president was or the presidents before them, isn't going to win this fight. this fight is about one thing. it's about workers running their fair share of economic justice instead of being left behind as they have been in the last decades. >> shawn fain a, thank you for your time today. >>> we did ask all of the big three automakers to come on the show this morning and they declined. >

the president is, as you know, pro union. the president is pro workers and pro u.a.w. workers and what we'll continue to make clear. reporter: acting on the u.a.w. strike, to what extent do you have any kind of leverage to sort of lean in with the companies, is the president picking up the phone and speaking to company executives and, you know, is there a limit to how much he can do on that? karine: you heard from the president last friday where he said record corporate profits should lead to record u.a.w. contracts. he was very clear about that and you heard that from me and others here in the administration and he's going to obviously continue to get daily briefings from his team on what is going on and where the negotiations are. and the president has spoken to all parties in the past couple weeks and so he has stayed in touch and had those conversations but again, the parties are negotiating at the table. that is a positive thing. that is important and they're working to get a win-win agreement. i'll just add this, the president fought and won the type of major inv

he's, you know, he pouts himself as the most pro union presidents in history. there's a lot of skepticism that's been expressed here. the a w and elsewhere not least because a few months ago he signed the law which forbade the freight railway. rebecca, some guy on stripe, they were just asking little sick days, but he forbade them from doing sir. that doesn't seem very pro union to a lot of people around around here at in the boss he's been seeing is going to pressure as of the unions to reach us with deal because he doesn't want while he's pelting upgrade by not, i could always buy nomics is it going to election? yeah, if it also strikes on the way, it's pretty clear that a lot of people are hurting their economy isn't good for lots of people. so he wants to swift resolution. but it may seem to be tipping the scales for the big 3 ultimate because as he has other corporations that will go down very poorly here of you i. w, michigan. swing states going into the next lecture here in the one live 550000 birds. from trump and 2020 truck one in 2016. he does want to

busy labor president and saying that he's pro union, he supports organized labor. now we have the by the administration and the president himself making some excuses. please take the table as long as you can to try some work this out. and now they've been around the clock and the companies have made some significant offers. but i believe it should go further to ensure a record corporate profits mean record contracts of fighting doesn't seem to be making any progress by bringing the 2 sides together. that doesn't seem to be the case as we watch things on both. we have a situation where the united auto workers is simply unwilling to accept the wage increase that still lantus is offering. meanwhile, ford is rolling out a he ran of production there. they are rolling out all kinds of electric vehicles, and now the u. a. w is saying that they want an increase in pay for this increase in work that ford doesn't seem to be willing to offer that and meet the demands of the u. a. w employees, they are telling outlets they would lose. 2 significant amount of profits and that w

you have to be pro union given the tide in the country. >> i think you nailed it. y what we're talking about here. four years ago unions were popular. right? their numbers were going up. but it wasn't anything like where we're at right now. it isn't just that unions are popular now. strikes are popular. in fact, if you like at the polling from gallup. you had a 67% support for unions, when they asked about a uaw strike against the big three, it ended up being 75% support for the strike, so people are actually more supportive of strikes than they are at a baseline for unions. what that means is that unions that go out and fight, that hit the picket line, that actually make demands are in touch with something about where the american people are at. and so then you get this distinction between trump and biden. biden goes and joins the picket line. trump goes to a nonunion plant. i think that distinction is going to have far more resonance in 2024 than the past. >> you see ceos making hundreds of times what the workers are making, building duplicate yachts that are 30 f

he said that he was going to be the most pro union president and us history, which was a pretty tremendous claim for something like him to make um, although he did say 2 weeks ago that there were quote, there will be no u a w strike. um, i think now is an opportunity for him to put his money where his mouth is sort of speak because a, a group thing he has that the democratic party has relied on for support for a very long time is now on strike, given the issues of gasoline prices, food prices, everything being more expensive, the value of our dollar being diminished. so yeah, these are the bread and butter issues that matter to everybody in the country really, but in particular, to the people in the right w, who are striking for them. the british act on political commentator russell brown has been accused of engaging in sexual misconduct. moving a decade ago, petition media outlets all reporting claims made by several women with incidents allegedly occurring between 200612013 having locked as presents as the bbc on persons channel full brand is recently passed. notice political commentator

he's a pro-union president.ys sided with working people and this year alone he's helped to avert strikes in other major industries, but what i want to say is these workers have been screwed out of the type of compensation that they should have received after the american people bailed out the auto industry, and the american people, the auto industries have had one-quarter of a trillion dollars, and i don't know how to count that much. maybe i need some gold bars, but they have had one-quarter of a trillion dollars in profit, and yet ceos have been able to benefit shareholders, but what about the workers? they had their pay cut. they had their pension for new hires. they deserve an opportunity to be heard and i'm glad the president's going to stand with them. >> martha: and the former president is headed out there as well giving that primetime speech out there with the autoworkers instead of a debate. >> what an incredible moment in american -- the horseshoe theory of american politics where you have now the lead
