for what it's worth, randi weingarten is also a stepmother of two.ning me now is randi weingarten, president of the american federation of teachers, it is great to see you. this is a pretty strange litmus test, i have to say, and it strikes me, this is what i kept thinking about, maybe he hasn't met any of his kids teachers, i really don't know, but you think jd vance has given any thought into what actually makes teachers good at their jobs? >> no. i mean, you know, i have been thinking about it all week, jen, because it was strange when he said it then, but the fact that he doubled down all week is even stranger, because he is running for vice president of the united states of america, and we have 50 million kids in the united states, and they are our future, and whether you go to a public school or private school, this is the moment that parents and teachers and kids are all bonding together. like it is that moment of engagement, it is that moment of teachers trying to create a safe and welcoming environments. i mean, you know this with your own k

randi weingarten does not have a shot. she should have some of her own and leave ours the hell alone. >> anyone who has children like i do knows teachers are national treasures whether they have kids or not. randi weingarten is always the stepmother of two. she's the president of the federation of teachers. it's great to see you. this is a pretty strange litmus test, i have to say, and it strikes me -- this is what i kept thinking about. maybe he hasn't met any of his kids' teachers, i really don't know. but do you think jd vance has actually given any thought to what makes teachers good at jobs? >> no. i mean, it's -- you know, i've been thinking about it all week, jen, because it was strange when he said it then, but the fact that he doubled down on it this week is even stranger because he's running for vice president of the united states of america, and we have 50 million kids in the united states, and they are our future, and whether you go to a public school or parochial school or private school, this is that moment t

what randi weingarten is unions want to do is pretend they had nothing to do with school closures.ey spent union money on ads to advocate for school closures and used their power over the cdc, we know that from e-mails that have come out. chicago teachers union said the push to reopen schools is rooted in racism, sexism, misogyny and said, we cannot open schools until defund the police much teachers unions wanted schools to close and knew it would hurt students. in china, schools were open. guess what other schools were open, catholic schools and they don't have this grade level decline. this affected minority students more. 75% of schools that are pr predominantly black and brown are the ones grade level or more behind. only 22% of schools that are predominantly white are. the blame is squarely on the education department, which is owned by the teachers unions. this is a relationship that benefits each other. >> steve: and with a record like that, what they have got, all they are trying to do is rally support for a big election 62 days from now. let's see if it works. thank you ve

she local -- looks like randy weingarten's younger brother. but if this is a real group then so is jesse watters fan club. i would redo that but i don't care. finally new york city mayor eric galdames is accused of taking a legal gambit campaign contributions including a luxury travel to and from tÜrkiye. did someone say tÜrkiye asks one man. never gets old, at least to me. so kamala finally did a national solo tv interview. and unlike p. diddy she didn't need any baby oil to slide through this one. before the interview, they revealed her unique qualifications for the job. >> she is not running for perfect, she's running against trump. we have two choices. and there are some things you might not know her answer to your 20 moved to nirvana, give me a real estate brokers number and i'll be her next-door neighbour. we don't live there. i would just say this, did you ever play the game would you rather? >> greg: would you rather? i play that every time i put on msnbc, what i rather start that or start a juice cleanse making love to andrea mitchell

vice president harris kicked things off in detroit, shawn fain of the united auto workers, and randi weingarten. >> unions help build america, and help build america's middle class. it is true across our nation, and it is true here in detroit. for generations in detroit and across our nation, the brothers and sisters of labor have stood together to righteously demand fair pay, better benefits, and safe working conditions. and let me say, every person in our nation has benefitted from that work. everywhere i go, i tell people, look, you may not be a union member, you better thank a union member for the five-day workweek. you better thank a union worker for sick leave. you better thank a union member for paid leave. you better thank a union member for vacation time. because what we know is when union wages go up, everybody's wages go up. when union workplaces are safer, every workplace is safer. when unions are strong, america is strong. so what we know is as we fight to move our nation forward, donald trump intends to pull us back to the past. we're not going back. we are not going back. >> mean

blasted randi weingarten, the president of the american federation of teachers for not having biological against the anti-child ideology that exists in our country, and no, he didn't mean his fellow republicans voting against school nutrition programs and head start, and he suggested people who have children should get extra votes in elections. the trove of unearthed comments all seem to have one thing in common. they all vilify women who don't have kids, specifically biological kids, which may sound odd to those of us on earth one, but it's actually a popular sentiment in something called the manosphere. it's basically a network of online communities, blogs and podcasts, that promote mascue lilty, misogyny, and antifeminism. in the idea that women should be nothing more than baby makers whose only job should be taking care of the home and raising children. a sentiment we have heard echoed quite a bit by james david. but his outdated views on women do not end there. no, no. today, "the new york times" is reporting that years before becoming trump's running mate, vance praised a 2017 repo

randi weingarten, who's the head of the most powerful teachers union in the country, she doesn't have child. if she wants to brainwash and destroy the minds of children she should have some of her own. >> we just got another one of j.d. vance on a podcast in 2021. i will play it at length because i think it is worth hearing. the nominee fully explained this. >> what elite culture does, what these elite institutions do is they take some very smart people in our society. they filter them in a very small place and basically tell them to want the same things. clerkships, law firm jobs, consulting gigs. you know, nice cushy jobs at private equity firms and they tell them they are only going to be happy if they get those things. so this people end up focusing on career and credential on expense of the things that actually make people happy. so you have people at yale law school, you have women, who think that truly the liberation path is to spend 90 hours a week working in a cubicle at mckinsey instead of starting a family and having children. to me what it is is sort of a value system to r

endorsed harris like the united auto workers and the american federation of teachers led by randi weingartene says more important than endorsements is what happens on election day. you're going to see the overwhelming number of union members vote for harris and walks in washington. i'm hannah brandt. >>millions of borrowers benefit from public service loan forgiveness, a program to forgive federal student loans. one of the populations that the public service loan forgiveness program helps servicemembers military service members. the connecticut democrat congressman joe courtney says militay members aren't getting full credit for their deployed service. he blames current rules and poor communication between the departments of education and defense for preventing a full discharge of the loans. the data shows that military service members are really struggling in terms of getting discharge is done in a timely fashion. so courtney introduced a bipartisan bill to ensure service members have their service period counted toward student loan forgiveness. you're serving overseas wearing the uniform o
