that is what robert gibbs is talking about.room for people to spend money that they otherwise would not be spending? we have been asking people about this, especially on the east coast where we know so many people are going to be driving. here is one story. take a listen >> we considered it and actually flights were not too bad this weekend. but it's just better because once we are down in d.c. it is easier to get around a little bit, we have the car, more options that way. and we don't mind a road trip. it's not been that bad. >> and so, because of gas prices. some people because they've had that break in the last month, are driving. domestic air prices are high. and if you do choose to fly you have issues. department of transportation the last week has put on their website a site that will allow you to see what airlines are offering when it comes to delays or cancellations. the bad news, alex for so many travelers. is that if it is weather related your probably not gonna get anything at all. you'll have to book a backup plan.

joining us now, mike memily, robert gibbs, and congresswoman debbie dingell. welcome all.istory of covering joe biden on labor day is replete with plenty of stops. we have you in pittsburgh, include thing labor day, i guess years ago? >> that's right. >> talk about what this means for your political future. is this an audition for 2020? >> i've been with these guys my whole life. my grandfather said you're a laborer from belt buckle -- i would go anywhere with these guys. >> so the question, mike, are the labor guys still with him, given just how red-ish pennsylvania is going according to the polling and the way the vote went last time around? >> reporter: yeah, andrea. this is obviously kind of a political home base for the president. this is not just where he had that audition for 2020 four years ago. it was where he held his first rally of his 2020 campaign and final rally with lady gaga of the 2020 campaign, as well. so this is really an important day, an important moment for the president to start the democrats off on a, you know, optimistic foot. he's going to be tal

we're back with robert gibbs and claire mccaskill.oted for all of the supreme court nominees who overturned roe vs. wade. robert gibbs, i want to show you -- i want to push behind some of these numbers here. this is the number of change in registration among women after the supreme court voted to overturn roe vs. wade. in kansas, plus 15.9%. in ohio, plus 6.4%. pennsylvania, plus 6.2%. in idaho, where they pushed a full abortion ban, plus 5.5%. in oklahoma, full abortion ban, plus 3.2%. in alabama, 3%. another full abortion ban state. and kansas, which claire talked about, that amendment to end any protections for abortion was opposed by 60% of all kansans in a state where the registration is 44% republican, 26% democratic. it is a loser with a capital "l" among republicans, but republicans made this moment happen. how do you -- if you're blake masters, take the abortion section of your website with bleach or whatever it is they use and say, no, i didn't do it. they all did it. >> they all did it, nicole, and maybe the only thing dumb

. >>> joining me now, former obama white house press secretary robert gibbs. hey, robert.re's a little attention disorder here in the end of august and getting people's attention, but the president seems to be doing better at that. he's certainly been more aggressive. is that the same joe biden who talked about bringing everyone together when he was running in 2020? >> andrea, i do think it's the same person. look, part of this is the natural change of the calendar, right? we're getting closer to an election, and elections are about choices. but i also think that if you wanted to rename what the president is going to talk about tonight, it's largely a continuing discussion about what's at stake in this country. i think that's what you'll hear him put forward. i think he's clearly benefited, as you talked about, our attention has been focused as the beginning of your show was on what's happening with the former president, what's happening with mar-a-lago, what's happening with january 6th. all of those things have sort of banded together to create an atmosphere that i think

let's bring in jeremy peters and robert gibbs. robert you're headed to the event today.ite house. you saw firsthand the nature of the relationship between barack obama and joe biden. what are you looking forward to about this moment? what does it say about how long it took for this to happen? >> well, i'm excited to reminisce and to share, again, the experiences of what we experienced inside of that building. i think the relationship between joe biden and barack obama is a strong one. there's nothing in the obama years that joe biden didn't have input and his fingerprints on in terms of important accomplishments. i think you're going to see a lot of obama alumni that go back to the white house incredibly proud of what president joe biden has been able to accomplish in just a few years, inheriting a bigger mess than we inherited back in 2009, quite frankly, when he was vice president. so i think it's going to be an extraordinary day. i'm really looking forward to it. what it says about how long it's taken is i think maybe a bit of a -- says a lot about where our politics
