ed, why is sean o'brien going to be the keynote speaker?major labor union addresses a convention. it's never happened before. sean o'brien will be here as the union considers its first-ever republican presidential nomination, at least it's first in several years. they made five figure donations to both parties. their members that believe the union should consider endorsing donald trump after their concerns with the economic policies of president biden and yet there are many other members of the teamsters furious that sean o'brien will be here. either way, it's a coup for the trump campaign as they continue trying to cut into different elements of the democratic party's umbrella. organize labor, black and latino men, the young, women. sean o'brien as he begins his remarks here, to convince his members to vote republican. trump might win the white house again. >> norah: let's listen into sean o'brien.

>> what is your message to teamsters president sean o'brien who is scheduled to speak at the rnc?> if you want to be part of the union, trump is unknown known union buster. he wants to take away our collective bargaining rights. the problem is, if he takes away those, we're down to not making good wages. we're down to not having safety at our job sites. we're down to someone not caring enough about the american worker that is putting all this work into everything we put in this country. my father was in ironworker for 45 years, always voted democratically. he told me, this is what we believe in, unions. we stayed together, we are strong together. divided we will fall. amy: voices from the protesters who marched outside the republican national convention monday, part of a coalition of 100 activist groups. a special thank to democracy producers on the streets. stay tuned for another hour of our special breaking with

sean o'brien, accents going there. but also watching the people in the vip box and who they they represent for the party now and for the party in the future was absolutely fascinated jake, one of the things that's so interesting about it, john king is that there is this straight queen of populism in the republican party. it is by no means predominant. but it is the jd vance, marco rubio, josh hawley strain that does think that the republican party needs to change and adapt to the american worker those policies have not word not embraced during the trump administration, at least not if you look at what the teamsters have on their policy agenda or the afl-cio, it's cetera, but there is this internal fight going on sean o'brien, i'm sure you know, sagely understands that that is going on and there is a there are people who are listening that doesn't mean that the agenda is going to be adopted, but it is worth noting. >> mr. mattingly needs to be corrected that we tend to skip the diwali, say medford and both me just say t

sean o'brien needed to come to that convention to speak because think about it, the teamsters are part of the union movement increasingly republican very, very visible i suspect he could any trump rally and there'll be be a lot of teamster members there saying "i love donald trump" so sean o'brien needed to make certain inside his union he was covering all the bases and he did. speak to carl, we appreciate you jumping on breaking news at the top of the sour with us, thank you. speak with you but, thank you. >> john: o'brien did rip corporate america up one side and down the other today. there were some good and bad for republicans. thanks, carl. >> civic stomach secret service respects local law enforcement and we cannot do our jobs either investigated fully or in our project admission without some of the secret service is totally responsible for the design and the amplification and the execution of the site. >> the secret service will have to have some hard conversations with itself. what their staffing needs are. to me it looks like there was significant lack of training for some of

is sean o'brien, the teamsters president? the first teamsters president to ever speak to a republican national convention? i don't remember a speaker at a republican convention railing against the chamber of commerce that is new here, but he was fighting for workers, blue collar workers all across the country were heard from everyday americans. then we heard from the teamsters president. he credited former president trump for opening up the doors of the rnc. and he said, after what happened saturday, this is one tough so. yeah, that got a huge response from the crowd. clearly, this is a group that president biden would consider right in his wheelhouse, the unions. so this is an obvious direct attempt to pull those union voters away. and huge response from the crowd here. so a lot of people who are very open to it. also, linda fornos, the hispanic, woman who spoke, she talked about the fact that she voted for joe biden last time around and she said, i regret it and i won't make that mistake again. as they tried to pull in more

i agree with everything about sean o'brien and how he presented a first. i think the president got what he wanted from that speech to carl's point, but not but what? but what it's shaping up. he didn't get endorsed. but what's shaping up the a's are the big issues in this campaign. affordability is being talked about here. and abortion will be talked about at the convention at my party holds the question becomes which one of those is more powerful? which one resonates more with voters? other issues will nato and national security will certainly play, but what the president and republicans have done thus far, this evening, they have to view this as a huge success. and democrats ought to be learning. how do you counter this over the next few weeks? yeah. you know, one of the things that really strikes me tonight is this really positive energy. there's a lot of enthusiasm. and that's something that, you know, this is a race that most americans for a long time said they didn't want to see biden and trump back in the ring. but this this crowd. i haven't felt a

sean o'brien, not, i mean, head of the teamsters, him showing up here, he's not saying he's endorsing donald trump, but he did make a mention -- >> the teamsters has a history of playing both parties. they have been more effective in that sense. >> it's not the more traditional union support, but it is still notable for him to show up here, and to mention j.d. vance, even before j.d. vance was the vp nominee. >> in a relatively positive sense. it was very interesting. look, what sean o'brien did is something that has angered some of his union ally, angered many democrats, but he actually did a very practical thing as a union president. no matter who the teamsters endorse, no matter where they come down, it's important to note that sean o'brien has said in recent interviews, joe biden is one of the best presidents ever for labor. whoever they endorse, separate and apart from this, he wanted to come before the republican convention, and wanted to lay it out. a good friend of mine said that we should analyze the language, it may have been the most left speech to a republican convention i

biden's son, sean o'brien. that's that's fine. he can go and speak like i said, we're a big party. he has won and of the millions of union members who know joe biden's there to protect their their collective bargaining rights to really, truly protect workplace democracy, to stand with workers on workers safety on pensions, on health care. so that, that's one guy and good for him. but i can tell you certainly my union and thousands of others we'll be in chicago to support the most pro-union, pro-worker, pro middle-class president that we've seen in our lifetime. and that's joe biden governor tim walz. >> always good to see you and to have you on. thank you so much thank you john all right. today, jd vance will make his first speech as the republican vice presidential nominee. how will he introduced himself to a national audience? peter navarro was now a free man, just released from prison. new reporting on his first stop post laka five good things. >> listen wherever you get your podcasts they say we should stop

liking about speeches, they are oriented toward the americans if that makes sense. >> we heard from sean o'brienoth parties if he could speak that there conventions, not an endorsement from the teamsters, but listen what he told the crowd. mr. o'brien: pick about this, think about this. teamsters are doing something correct if the extremes of both parties think i should not be on this stage. [applause] >> president trump had the backbone to open the door of this republican convention and that is unprecedented. [applause] >> no other nominee would have invited the teamsters. you can have whatever opinion you want, but president trump is not afraid of hearing from new, loud and critical voices. we can all agree why the people like him or they don't like him in light of what happened to him on saturday, he has proven to be one tough so be. now what i -- when i won the presidency two and a half years ago we started reaching across the aisle. in the past including nixon, reagan and george w. bush. but the republican party has pursued strong relationships with organized labor. some stand in opposition

later, i will talk to sean o'brien about the critical union vote at what his rip-roaring speech here last night was meant to do for the rnc and also the democrats assignment with audie cornish. listen wherever you get your podcasts dad is a legend and his legendary moves might be passed down to you get and assess tree dna and see which traits were inherited where they came from and who you share that with. >> discover what makes you legendary with ancestry dna what he's thinking i'm thinking on our honeymoon about africa so far hot air balloon ride swim with elephants. waiting 34 to safari. >> great question. like everything, it takes a little planning for what the mind towards a down payment on a ranch in montana with horses. >> let's take a look at those scenarios jpmorgan wealth management has advisors and chase branches and tools like wealth plan to help keep you on track when you're planning for at all, the answer is jpmorgan wealth management? pam brown and gary. and today with talking about the biggest misconception there is about replacement windows. i'm here with ted cones,

were you surprised that sean o'brien had, quote, you guys almost gotten a bra yeah, but shone an eye we work past that. president trump called me months ago and it actually right after the first meeting he had with sean o'brien and he said, hey man, you too nice to meet you guys need to sit down and talk. you might have actually some more in common and we started talking and we ended up meeting at a little talian restaurant, had a great conversation. and we have a love for passion for working out together. we both came up by our bootstraps, pull them up working hard and blue collar jobs and so we actually get along and he texts me, i text him right afterwards. we're laughing about it. i will say i if i would have to drink in my mouth, i would've spit it out when he quote, i thought it was pretty funny when he said, stand your butt up but we do have a relationship now, we've worked past it and that happens sometimes i tell people all the time, i don't take things personal like that. i used to get paid to fight. i'm not i'm not looking to fight for free. and so it's not something perso

he has not gotten ok from the democrats in chicago in august. >> sean o'brien will be speaking i believe primetime at the republican national convention. it is very rare for a labor leader to speak before the republicans. o'brien trying to position himself no matter what party comes out of the presidential election, i suppose. it is very unique. it certainly has been criticized internally. it has been criticized from folks on the democratic left. i don't know that he is going to get that democratic nod because he is speaking at the republican convention. it would be almost unprecedented for someone to speak at both conventions. i think it is certainly interesting and fascinating. there is this campaign the teamsters are fighting against amazon where they're trying to organize amazon warehouse has amazon delivery drivers, people of that nature. you know, i prefer to focus on that. the way he is getting wrapped up politically, you know, it is bound to disappoint one side or the other. amy: i want to bring bill fletcher into this conversation, longtime labor, racial justice, international a

geoff: sean o'brien the first teamsters, he has requested ar speaking slot at the d.n.c.ican party is trying to keep the blue wall, giving a prime speaking spot. amna: delivering a message that you thought. that didn't sound like something. i'm go to go channel our good friend mark shields would say there are two different people. those who get converts and push people out. at least the message here tonight and whether or not that extends is exactly that which is we want to bring the folks who were maybe against us, folks, whether it is labor unions, j.d. vance who used to say things about me personally and the maga moment and said i was mocked for changing my mind, that seems to be the other theme of this very first night. >> judy, that structure and you have been out talking to republicans of all stripes, this the kind of stuff that resonates with them? >> there is a very deliberate set of messages coming out that don't necessarily reflect the divisions that i have seen across the country from abortion, guns, immigration. we are not hearing those hot button things. but

. >> sean o'brien from the teamsters giving keynote speech tonight. trying to get organized labor to say which is we don't support democrats just because they are democrats we are available to you too. he is not endorsing trump there tonight but is there basically to say the teamsters are available to the republican party that of course in stark contrast to the uaw the most hope rifle, high profile, very strongly endorsed joe biden after joe biden made history as i think an argument he the most prounion president in history he made history when as a sitting president went out and stood on the picket line and joined strikers on the picket line. in michigan that of course a successful strike that resulted in record contracts. for the uaw. >> i think this one stings a bit i don't think it matters hugely but i think it stings a bit. if you are the democrats and the biden team there perhaps has not been a more prolabor president aside from joe biden in modern history. although sean o'brien has been telegraphing this for a long time it is not a surprise. >>

sean o'brien, the head of the teamsters union who endorsed president biden in 2020 is tonight's keynote speaker. >> the evening session now underway. back two more on the vp pick, senator jd vance of ohio, he is just 39 years old, so he does bring used to the ticket, which is something that a number of delegates here said they would like to see. also interesting to note he was a former harsh critic of former president trump, back in 2016, but now, he is considered one of trump's most vocal defenders in congress. he is also known for his memoir, hillbilly elegy, about growing up in poverty in ohio . allies of vance believe that his background and personal experience will help him reach out and advocate for working people in these key battleground states for the rest of the campaign. >> thanks, natalie. as mentioned, the 39-year-old jd vance was elected as ohio's junior senator in 2022. he grew up in jackson, kentucky and milton, ohio. after high school, he enlisted in the marines and served in iraq. he spent several years of his adult life evening in san francisco. >> the man once descri

one thing that was also different to that stuck out to me was the head of the teamsters, sean o'brien spoke on the stage and i actually i started my political career covering at labour politics, which let me tell you, is it really? good way to get an education? and the idea that i would see a labour leader on the, on the, on the floor of the republican national convention, basically in primetime, let's listen to a little bit what bryan said it's an honor to be the first teamster and 121 year history to address the republican national convention over the last 40 years the republican party has really pursued strong relationships well, they're organized labor. >> there are some in the party who stand an active opposition to labor unions. this to must change the teamsters are not interested if you have a de or an ai next to your name we want to know one thing. what are you doing to help american workers i mean, mark preston, this is a guy that almost got in a fight with markwayne mullin. >> i believe in a hearing in congress that accent there's so much here there's so much here in look, a

. >>> sean o'brien from the teamsters giving a keynote speech basically trying to say the thing thatays trying to get organized labor to say that we don't support democrats because we are doing that but we are available for you as well but they are there basically to say that the teamsters are available to the republican party and stark contrast to the uaw the most high profile name whose leadership very strongly endorsed joe biden after joe biden made history as in arguably the most prounion president in history and he made it when is a sitting president he went out on the picket line and joined workers striking as the big three autoworker in michigan and that of course is a successful strike that resulted in record contracts for the uaw. >> i think this one stings a bit and i don't think it matters hugely but it does sting if you are the democrat and perhaps there hasn't been a more prolabor president aside from joe biden in modern history. >> sean o'brien has been telegraphing this for a long time. >> there is a difference being available and speaking at the convention during prim

. >> sean o'brien from the teamsters giving the keynote speech tonight.asicall trying to say that thing republicans are trying to get organized labor to say which is, we don't suppor democrats because their democrats. where avlable to you to. he's not endorsing trump but they are there to y the teamsters are available to the republican party. in stark contrast to the uaw, most high-profile union in the cotry whose leadership very strongly endorsed joe biden after joe biden need history as, thing, and arguably the most prounion president in history. he ma history when as a sitting president he stood the picket line adjoin workers striking, big three auto workers in michigan. that a successful strike that resulted in record contracts for the uaw. >> i mean, thing this stings a bit. i don't think it matters but it stings a bit of fear that democrats and biden team. there hasn't been any more prolabor president aside from joe biden. >> sean o'brien has been telegraphing this for a long time. >> not a surprise but there's a difference between being available a

. >> the first night of the convention, an appeal to democrats base, teamsters president sean o'brien addressing republicans, the first boss from the powerful union to do so today, the teamsters are here to say we are not beholden to anyone or any party. democrats pushing back the head of the afl-cio in milwaukee, alongside democratic leaders, calling biden the most pro-union president in history. >> will my life be better when trump lets my company force me to work overtime without overtime pay? >> president biden back on the campaign trail in nevada. we're told he will continue to draw sharp contrasts with trump, even as he urges the country to lower the political temperature and condemn political violence, saying it was a mistake for him to have told donors just days before the shooting time to put trump in a bull's eye. >> it was a mistake, to use the word i did. i didn't say crosshairs. i'm a bullseye. they focus on him, focus on what he's doing. >> tonight we are expecting to hear from some of trump's former opponents, including nikki hale, the party clearly wanting to send a me

but the moment that really felt like the dnc really snuck into the rnc was when sean o'brien, the presidentthe teamsters union, and apparently rob corddry doppelgaenger, came up to the lectern. if >> it's an honor to be the first team stir in our 121 year history to address the republican national convention! >> jon: the crowd went crazy! until he began to tell them what he thinks. >> legal protections that make it safer for workers to get a contract. trade policies that put american workers first. labor law must be reformed. companies fire workers who try to join unions and hide behind toothless laws that are meant to protect working people but are manipulated to benefit preparations. [cheers and applause] >> jon: where are the cheers on the floor of the convention? apparently republicans are pro-worker now. i hope somebody tells all the republican governors who passed rigright to work antiunion lawsn the states and all the republican-appointed judges who made it easier to break unions, and donald trump himself, who helped kill a bill that would have protected unions! that would be so emba
