he already has gene spurling, his economic adviser on the scene, the acting labor secretary, they'reormed observers, willing to help if necessary, but not stepping in on negotiations. to your earlier point, also, the issue here for the uaw is that in 2016 and 2020, about one-third of their members voted for donald trump. i think they were very startled by that. this is a historically progressive union. a lot of their folks are on trump's side. uaw is against trump, but they're not necessarily 100% on the biden camp either. they're straddling the line, as well. >> really good reporting and context provided by business reporter at "axios," nathan, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >>> up next on "way too early," as the deadline to approach a government shutdown, bills will be brought to the floor today. but will speaker kevin mccarthy have the votes to move ahead? we'll get into that. >>> on "morning joe," new nbc news polling. voters say they trust republicans to do a better job than democrats on a number of issues. where the gop has the advantage, and how it can re

sides and speaking with the uwae chiefs, and he has a point person here at the white house gene spurling serving as a middleman to hear both sides, but there is limited ability in what the president can do when it is coming to the negotiations that are ongoing at the moment. what the white house has been trying to encourage is that these negotiators work around the clock the secure some type of agreement, and take a listen to one of of the president's top economic advisers just yesterday. >> the president believes that auto workers deserve a contract that sustains middle-class jobs. and the president is clearly one of the most pro union presidents that we have, and he is encouraging them to stay at the table 24/7 to get a win-win that keeps uaw workers at the job and ensure good middle-class jobs. >> reporter: and sources briefed on the negotiations say that it is a uniquely challenging set of negotiations in part because of the strategy of the uaw has adopted. in previous years they have focused on one single automaker, but at the time, they are trying to do it with all three at once. s

we're hearing from biden administration officials that julie sue and senior white house adviser jean spurling has been involved in negotiations and talks. but they actually plan on coming to town early this week. we know that president faehn has said that he wants the administration to stay out of this. but president biden has sent these two officials to town to try to get these three automakers and the union on the same page and getting a deal done as soon as possible. fred. >> vanessa yurkevich in michigan, thank you so much for that. >>> earlier today on state of the union, jake tapper spoke with now republican presidential hopeful mike pence about the auto workers strike and this is some of what exchange. >> you blame the strike on president biden's policies. most americans, 75% according to gallup, support the strikers. as a general principle, do you think it is fair that the ceo of general motors makes 362 times what a typical gm employee makes? >> well, lentt me say what i dot think is fair. is that joe biden has put forward an economic agenda from the outset that launched the worst in

next couple of days, we are expecting acting labor secretary and senior white house adviser gene spurling to come to get involved in these negotiations so julie doesn't have to be on the picket line for that much longer. to point out, just across the border in canada, the union unifor which represents 5,000 ford workers may go on strike tonight if they don't reach a deal by 11:59 p.m. that is of course complicating the strike happening on this side of the border here in the u.s. phil. >> it's a fascinating new dynamic to an already very complex set of dynamics. vanessa yurkevich, great reporting as always, thank you. poppy. >>> also this morning, los angeles county is offering a $250,000 reward for any information as to the shooting of sheriff's deputy ryan clinkunbroomer, he was shot and killed inside his patrol car on saturday. officials say they believe he was potentially targeted and ambushed. he was wearing his uniform, he was inside his patrol car, and the authorities believe this could have been intentional targeting of him. what do we know this morning? >> reporter: the sheriff sa

>> i think, s so, and he has do the right thing to appoint gene spurling to get the uaw workers right >> thank you, row khanna, thank you for being with us. >>> and now, we will have more on the second primary debate on september 27th, and this is coming into the newsroom which is according to the sources, and that is much more ahead on this. >>> and also, this is the anniversary of the birmingham baptist church bombing, and we will speak to o the pastor of tt chchurch and the lasting impact tackle anything! t i'm javi, i'm 31, and i'm a fitness instructor. i saw myself in a photograph. and we were all smiling, and i looked closer, and i was like that- that's what everybody es? i'back, and i got botox® cosmetic. the lines were so prominent it's all i saw in the photograph, so now when i take photos, and i see myself in photos, its- it's me, i just have fewer lines. botox® cosmetic is fda-approved to temporarily make frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines look better. the effects of botox® cosmetic may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. alert your doc

secretary have stayed out of negotiations, but biden appointed trusted white house adviser jeanne spurlingespite talks coming down to the wire, the president said he believes a strike can be avoided. the union has some ambitious demands, asking for a 40% pay raise over the course of the 4-year contract, restoring cost of living increases and pension plans for all workers. >> they have had our demands from the outset. we told them we expect to get there by september 14th. that's a deadline, not a reference point. >> reporter: as the big three pivot to electric vehicles, they are planning ten new battery plnts not under uaw contracts. the union is hoping these next contracts protect their members in the future. >> workers can't be left behind in this transition. you're talking about 20% of the power train workers in the big three that stand to lose their jobs down the road if we go from engines to battery power. >> there's no question that electric vehicles are the future of auto manufacturering and this is why you have president biden announcing the investment of $15 billion to retool facto

president biden has directed acting labor secretary julie su and senior white house adviser gene spurlingtown, to come to detroit, to move the negotiations forward toward a deal. uaw shawn fain does not want the administration involved in these negotiations. also on our radar, poppy is across the border in canada, the union, which represents 5,000 ford workers could head on strike as soon as tonight if they do not reach a deal with ford. that could obviously exacerbate the situation for ford who has three plants in canada that is producing quite a few of their vehicles. so we're dealing with a strike on the u.s. side of the border, and possibly by 11:59 this evening, if they don't reach a deal with ford, another strike that ford will be dealing with. >> are the demands from the union in canada the same as what the uaw is asking ford for? or is it a whole different set of asks in. >> certainly. we actually don't know what the demands are. we have asked both the union and ford what the demands are in canada. they're not really revealing what they're asking for, but we have heard that it is

that being said, though, boris, president biden said that acting labor secretary and james spurling, have been monitoring negotiations from washington, will be dispatched to detroit to get a firsthand look at these talks and offer their support any way they can. boris. >> kayla tausche from the north lawn at the white house, thank you. jim? >>> let's speak more about this with president of the uaw local 14 in toledo, ohio. tony, thank you for taking the time this afternoon. >> thank you for having me. >> i want to take a look at the offer that gm has made so far. i know the union was requesting pay increases up to 40%, and i know that some of that is really making up for concessions you made back in 2008/2009. 21% is what gm says it has offered, up to 21%. for most civilian workers in america, that's far beyond what they're getting, wages. salary increased 4.6% for the year ending in june 2023. why do you believe uaw workers should get bigger increases than the vast majority of americans are seeing? >> well, that's for a couple of reasons. first, we set the tone. when we get a raise,

we will have some officials from the white house, acting white house secretary julie su and gene spurlinge know that uaw president shawn fain does not want the white house involved in the ne gosch yashgsgosch -- negotiation, and we are also looking at a ford plant there in canada that may add 400 workers there and shutdown three plants there, which is going to have a greater impact on the company than this one plant here in michigan. john? >> vanessa yurkevich, right next to the picket line, and very good to hear from someone who is there. thank you. >>> and now, house speaker kevin mccarthy has an agreement in hand to stop a government shutdown, but it is not clear if he has enough votes to stop this, and whether his own speakership is hanging in the balance. >>> this morning, a government shutdown is hanging in the balance here, and so, too, does the speakership of kevin mccarthy and he thought he had a funding deal last night, but he may not think the same thing this morning. lauren fox is joining us from washington. tell us what happened overnight as these negotiations were ongoing. >

he said that he's sending gene spurling and another staffer to get out there and make sure they have their hands in this. that shows that he's actively involved trying to do something to bring about a resolution. i think that's politically important as well, and i think the white house's hope is that now that it's in crunch time they're going to come to a good deal that's going to reward workers and get people back to work. >> he also as you listened to him speak, brought up the transition to cleaner energy, which means electric vehicles. and i just want to do a little background here. his administration has enacted billions in subsidies to create new manufacturing jobs. the uaw wants folks who work in those electric battery plants to make the same money as union members do, and that's allowed republicans to argue that the president's clean energy policies are costing american jobs, raising prices for consumers. is it clear who wins that battle with voters? >> well, and you saw in the clip last hour that kristen welker, the interview she had with donald trump, donald trump went right

one of the top aides to biden, jean spurling, has been work with the auto workers to get a middle groundal" yesterday, i believe, that biden himself had called the heads of the auto companies to figure out if there was some more give there, that they could give up for these negotiations. steve is absolutely right. i mean, all signs indicate that come midnight tonight, we're going to get a targeted strike. we'll see how long that lasts. we'll see if biden is compelled to get more further involved. keep in mind, there's been a couple of strikes or near strikes in his administration already. the rail strike, the mlb strike. he has shown that he can get involved last minute. could happen today. >> sam stein, thank you very much. >>> coming up on "morning joe," a new biography of senator mitt romney has some eye-opening revelations about his republican colleagues and their feelings about donald trump. we'll have those new details for you straight ahead. liberty mutual customized my car insurance and i saved hundreds. with the money i saved, i started a dog walking business. i was a bit nervou
