>> teamsters have their reason.or me, looking at the teamsters alone, biden/harris administration saved over 400,000 teamster pensions. that's a big deal. i know that i can talk about the uaw. the uaw, we had a majority supporting kamala harris when she was declared the candidate, and since that point we've seen the numbers shift dramatically upward. in our last polling a week ago, week and a half ago, we've seen numbers increase as much as plus 29% margin at this point, all due to our get-out-the-vote initiative, talking facts with them, talking reality about issues that matter to working class people. i believe we'll have an overwhelming majority of uaw members, as we have in the past, supporting kamala harris. >> shawn, when it comes to the teamsters, i think two out of three teamster members support donald trump, or favor him. it seems to be the opposite with your union. i'm thinking of that, what you've said about why you like kamala harris, that she's, quote, one of us, a fighter for the working class, and don

somebody with really strong labor ties, somebody who is supportive of unions and who was backed by teamster president sean o'brien. if you'll remember, sean o'brien spoke at the rnc, tried to reach across the aisle in terms of building up republican union support and famously did not endorse in the presidential election when in the past, the teamsters have been have endorsed democrats. so sean o'brien this is a real victory for him because he was able to boost somebody who would be supportive of labor in a republican administration. and i believe that's why this is such a surprise for sort of the business community because typically you don't expect republicans to pick somebody who's against right to work laws who is for bills like the pro act to be the republicans, labor secretary. >> let's talk about some of the public health roles. and we understand from sources that rfk jr.. was influential in some of these selections. does that give us any insight? tell us anything about these picks. >> i think it's pretty early to say what what policies or what issues these picks are going to bring up

ability to put food on our table, for the auto workers who are terrified about their future, for the teamstersho have talked to me yesterday who said our number of car hauls is going down and we can see it, which means layoffs are coming for them too. for the teachers who are saying man, we need some help. [cheers] there they are. for the men and women of the united states military who are saying, man, please just give us a service worthy of our service. think of that. all of those people -- and we have talked to all of them who are ready to do something different for this state. that's why this race was important to us. why it was important to my wife christy, why it was important to so many of you who got in the rain in the cold some days. those saturday mornings when everyone else was doing something fun, you were going to a door and knocking on a door or putting up a sign. that's what this campaign was always about. christie said it best. it wasn't about me, it wasn't about us. it was really about all of us and what we want for our future, what we can do for the future of our kids. and do

bargaining agreement with the metal trades council which represents machinist, electricians, carpenter, teamsters and boilermakers that increased their pay by 25%, retaining their pension and health benefits at the same time. next to me is the u.s.s. iowa which is the 25th virginia class usubmarine. it's undergoing sea trials and will be commissioned to the u.s. navy in a few months or so. mr. speaker, as ranking member and chair of the house armed services sea power projection forces subcommittee and a congressman representing this facility in connecticut, i've had a front row seat to kevin's tenure. it was not an easy time. through it all, though, he maintained a steady level of confidence from his peers and overcame adversities that were not anticipated at the start of his tenure. and i haven't even talked about the aukus submarine agreement which, again, just last december this congress voted to sell three virginia class nuclear powered submarines to our great ally, australia, the first time in history our country has ever made that commitment. but again, he's built the foundation and it will

and he had a surprise pick from the teamsters union. picking republican congresswoman from oregon lori chavez-deremer. one of few republicans to cosponsor the pro act protecting workers rights to organize. joining me, faz, thank you for joining me, it has been a flurry of news from trump world tonight. and i want to kind of just tick through some of these appointments. first let's talk about the treasury secretary, there was a lot of back and forth about who he was going to pick, if this was someone trump could rely on. what do you make of someone who was once affiliated with george soros, play add key role in his investments, now part of the maga firmment? >> this has been an interesting fight. because eli musk opposed him saying he was business as usual. it became a major tussle between the elon musk wing of the trump world versus steve bannon. steve bannon fresh out of jail, this was his major campaign. he had him come on his show. it became so much of a tussle that trump didn't look to a third person who is probably the highest prof

. >> she did get some labor endorsements in her race, iron workers, i believe, and teamsters.teresting to me is that some high ranking national labor leaders before the election had said they didn't understand why their union wasn't outwardly endorsing and strongly endorsing joe biden initially but then kamala harris because the biden administration signed one of the most -- one of the best labor deals since the national labor relations act. you know how consequential that statement is? so to be able to say that and then, by the way, a lot of labor not -- at least the teamsters not formally endorsing in the presidential race, the hope is that this labor pick having had some labor support will try to at least bend a little bit to organized labor, but we all know that trump doesn't care about organized labor, because he said he would fire people. so that's why this is interesting to me, because she may understand the importance of the working person in this country, but i don't think donald trump does. so that kind of tension is going to be really -- >> in this flood we see wome

out reaching out to unions for a long time, and she was boosted by sean o'brien, president of the teamsters union which, you know, sean o'brien, he spoke at the rnc and declined to endorse in the presidential race, which really angered democrats at the time. but now we're seeing that sort of pay dividends in the sense that he was able to help influence trump, to pick somebody who, as you said republicans are probably not maybe not excited about not or are surprised to see trump nominate somebody who is so pro-union but for the teamsters and for other union members this is probably a welcome surprise that there's somebody who's been nominated who is probably will gel more with their interest and sources tell us that rfk jr. had a key role in selecting some of these health leaders. >> what does that say about these picks? >> i think that when you look at this list, especially when you look at his fda. trump's fda pick, johns hopkins surgeon doctor macari, this is somebody who has touted natural immunity during the covid pandemic. and said that that that covid vaccine mandate shouldn't be reco

those particular unions — a painters' union and to the local teamsters union — have decided to endorseership is a bit mixed when it comes to who to support in the presidential race. macomb county is home to the blue—collar workers, white working class workers, particularly those who may be have been impacted quite a lot by the decline of certain industries in the area and i think those of the voters that donald trump wants to speak to stressing how people felt four years ago. economically, i think he will be keen to stress issues like inflation rising in the last two years to try to reach out some of those voters in particular. bbc verify is focusing on how to help you make up your mind and how we draw our conclusions and how we draw our conclusions and in addition to the team in washington, dc we have colleagues in the newsroom in london working on the us election and this next report comes from there. it's about a russian disinformation network that has been impersonating dozens of media organisations for bbc and which are sharing fake news reports about the us election. this slick v

i stand with the farmers, the food manufacturers, the labor unions like the teamsters, who supported this bill, and i thank senator braun and senator brown in their leadership on this issue, strengthening the buy american provision ensures that the children eat not only safe and nutritious food but it supports the backbone of american agriculture. in conclusion, there is no safer source of quality nutrition than that produced right here in america. by buying american food for american schools, we are not only supporting our children, but also safeguarding the livelihoods of the families who grow, harvest, and process our food. strengthening these programs and reinforcing buy american requirements mean everybody wins. the students, our communities, and our agricultural families who work tirelessly to feed all of us. thank you again. i look forward to your questions. >> thank you. and, dr. meg bruening. >> thank you chairman fetterman, ranking member senator braun and members of the subcommittee for this opportunity and honor to speak with you today. my name is dr. meg bruening. in my

few republicans that actually signed the pro act, and this is somebody the republican -- or the teamstersrepublican through and through, you know. i think when it comes down to it, we did see labor support fall off. we saw where there were various labors that supported joe biden that refused to support the vice president in her candidacy, and so there is something to be said about whatever conversations are taking place, and whether the unions are placing their support, and she may actually be that bridge to actually earn them more support. now the fact that she lost her election, she went up against somebody who has beat her every single time she's run for office. >> jonathan: some democrats will vote for her, probably a lot. >> i agree. >> jonathan: you may see republicans vote against her. what was behind that? >> what's behind the pick is this was the one thing that organized labor asked the trump -- trump to give to them. >> jonathan: the teamster. >> rank and file working class people, that voted for trump. he understands that, and the trump folks in mar-a-lago realize that if the r

that's one of the reasons why the teamsters union couldn't endorser because that of the suspicion of the idea of transforming the economy into a gig or economy with very few rights. and the way the view by model is, you know, so yeah, but, but again, it was that vagueness about yeah, that we up trust me. we're all about joy worry about vibes. but then you look at who's actually bank rolling. had you look at who i, senior advisers are and there's a lot of suspicion about what, what does that this mean? not to mention that many of i believe have done as a base thing about rolling back anti trust policies or regulate treat policies that were very successful under dr. barton. she had the ability to add onto the truck with mark cuban who's very, very famous here. you know, it was like, oh, don't worry about that. we're going to roll that back. that we're going to, we've given the money, sir, you know, and we thought that was part of the problem and she, she's lost in every single demographic ccb sheet. she underperformed latino dividers, asian, but it is on defense. he wrote as union vers

i caught up with the teamsters president, they opted not to support either candidate but sean o'briendemocrats have to look in the mirror and quit heeding the advice of people like nancy pelosi and chuck schumer who should step aside. what did you make of that sense that the party here has driven you into a ditch. >> nancy pelosi's record of legislative accomplishments speaks for itself, the affordable care act, things that are popular with the american people, we lost the election in all three corners of government and have to make improvements in our campaign game but ultimately we are not going to find those improvements by trying to build a themaga light party that is economically populist, we have to have our own audacious agenda and don't need to retreat from the values we hold dear. we want to expand the envelope of freedom to all americans that was first promised by the founders and we won't back away from that promise. neil: do you think the party has to moderate? i'm showing my age but i remember your party lost with michael dukakis in 1988, your third pertinent -- president

even the teamsters they endorse the candidate.nd-file mostly for president trump. >> martha: so you pay dues to the union the leadership does their own thing and then the rank and file workers are 70 5%, you say of a very different mind-set. how does that play out? to the workers do their own effort to try to get out of the vote and tried to balance with the leadership is done at? >> it is hard because the international union want us to vote democrat they push for it. steelworkers for trump on social media opposed to that that message and it took off. 2000 members in less than two months since i started. so i'm trying to get the word out. like i said a lot of them are tired of democrats. they want to stop the terrorists. no democrat president ever put tariffs on... when president trump was elected in 2016 he put tariffs on and that kind of saved the steel industry. >> martha: that clearly is one of the main reasons, right? it is policy and the impact on your jobs. what are you seeing because you spend time in your town and at work

larry: autoworkers and teamsters and small business owners and small business and shopkeepers. >> allpeople that have been on strike over the last few years was going to strike about and nay went on strike because their incomes fell all the polls show number one issue has been their economy and donald trump is the top of the economy and that's going to be as much as it used to be. he's up by 15 points by joe biden is he's up by eight points in every larry: you know the story. scott, you are a close trump adviser. what will you sense of aloha say to the financial markets? tell us right this evening. what can you say would calm those markets? americans want to see what they're getting for government spending. look at the way elon musk runs spacex versus the way boeing and nasa going bond markets going for that and inflation rates stay down. the system of articulation the yield getting numbers upwards of 4% and going by the growth period and it was like it was from 86 it's only and going from all of you guys making sure that trump will win from your lips to god's ears and if that happens

we took a vote with the teamsters and they voted for us and the firemen voted for us.rything. the unions have been amazing. but the steel unions will go out of business. if i didn't have tariffs, there wouldn't be one steel plant in this country open. right? that's the business we need. i will keep us out of world war iii. we are not going to have world war iii. if we ever have -- in, i mean, thiel is a business. if we ever had a war, you need steel. war with china or succeeding they will keep sending us steel? i don't think so. we need more steel from china. these people are crazy. so, that is one of the reasons that i like those guys. it was a 50% tariff. i would have lifted it higher but they practically stopped. all the steel mills are open today because of what i did. there wouldn't be a steel mill in the country. these guys would have never had the guts to do it. so, four years of kamala, have delivered nothing but economic health for american workers and autoworkers. all workers. installation disaster has made life unaffordable and cost families over $30,000 in

poised to win because not only is kalama harris a horrible candidate, unions don't trust her, the teamsters don't trust her, ui a in terms of culinary, black voters, hispanic voters she does not have the votes there. i'm bullish on trump i don't care what happens on "saturday night live". quite frankly he's in position to win with the conditions on the ground and the fact that kamala harris is not joe biden and not a good candidate for that matter. >> let's go to lara trump in terms of early voting democrat they clearly have a math problem you could hear the vitriol coming out of the fascist, racist nazi, et cetera. what is interesting to me, use wisconsin as an example of a lot of the swing states they're not meeting the numbers that they would need to win, the percentages are down and percentages compared to republicans are way down, what does that mean for a state like wisconsin. to me where i see kamala, she needs to win all of the blue wall states to actually win the selection. she has one path left in my mi mind. >> i agree, for the viewers out there on that piece and i'll get to wisc

paul: the teamsters boss sean o'brien spoke at the republican convention but his union didn't endorseite the survey of the members, over 50% said we support trump and the union didn't. why does he get a payoff. >> trump thinks nonendorsement is a favor to him by the unions but the problem is this flies in the face of a long history of conservative and republican paulo c. the goals of his own administration, another bill that chavez deremer supported is the freedom to negotiate act which would empower collective-bargaining by public unions across the nation in every state. paul: it would force them to negotiate with public unions? >> correct. it would empower teachers union in states to negotiate over the school choice programs. paul: they would be more like new york, california, illinois where they you run the government. >> granted as labor secretary she would not have the power to pass the bill but it does raise questions conservative and republican senators have hard questions about. paul: on the one hand you have unions which claimed to represent all workers. they don't always. th

i had a chance to catch up, senator, with sean o'brien, the head of the teamsters, who said it was yourwn doing. i want you to react. >> they lost touch with the working class people. it was clearly evident in the election results. and look, this was an economic election. instead of embracing and trying to find a solution to the problem, the democrats took a position that their opinion mattered. that's all that mattered. and they wanted to talk down to a lot of working-class people peered the democratic party needs to take a look in the mirror and say maybe chuck schumer's time is over, ms over. maybe they should take a page out of joe biden's book and step aside. >> neil: he was talking but nancy pelosi, of course, the former speaker, and chuck schumer, the democratic leader, that it is time for these guys to call it a day. what did you think of that? >> what i think is that a lot of folks in our country, they are not going to listen to your policy positions if you feel like you are being talked down to or you don't understand or disrespect their culture or their way of life. you know,

biden had more support among teamster workers than trump did, 44-36% and then when harris became the, the numbers completely changed from 36% to 58% and harris with 36%. quite clear that labor, mostly big labor sports harris walz. everybody from flcio to uaw asks me, service employee's june, steel workers, teemers, a large number of labor is on the side of the democrats. trump, it's a national border patrol council and that union and police unions. that's where he's making the case that he's got the support from those guys but making the case that it's not just who's about more pro union. union guys vote on a whole lot of issues and i talked before we get away here, i don't often talk to the voters and here's somebody undecided, just met a guy that was undecided and he's with a stage and union and he's setting up the stage. it's interesting. >> me personally, i'm a bit divided and i don't really know. i feel like i come from a different generation and we're dealing with things that were started not because of us and we're here to kind of fix those for the people we have in place that

black voters, latino voters unit rank and file and obviously were talking about firefighters union, teamstersay to get back black waters, latino voters working-class voters young voters they are in serious trouble as we look ahead to 2026 and 2028 that is for certain. jon: the support of some of those groups might explain why donald trump has a 54% approval rating right now. during his presidency the highest he ever got according to gallup was a 49%. he has picked up numbers. he has picked up support since then. >> he is widening coalition. democrats used to own and take for granted. and look at his team for example as far as his cabinet and others theythat we joining his administration. you have, she is approved of course if she passed the senate confirmation sheet will be on the team. you if somebody like bobby kenny junior hhs secretary's wife white house chief of staff susie wiles is widely respected in washington by democrats and republicans alight secretary state marco rubio, the border czar tom home and i would not mess with that guy if i was a democratic mayor or governor. that i do k

trump is all over the place but this is clearly a nod to that and she had the teamsters backing as well. >> that was interesting. it's an interesting choice. what do you thinks in terms of the people who are on the senators behind the scenes working something with committees to demand background checks. >> those of the obvious choices picks that will get a lot of scrutiny. mitch mcconnell chairs the subcommittee on appropriations for defense. he has the purse brings over dod. he cares a lot about these issues. i think he will have a serious problem with pete hegseth. >> tulsi gabbard? >> probably both equally but the dod is important to him and he will be focused on that and he may not think this person is qualified. forget the other personal stuff . i think the substantive issues and national security will reigns supreme for mitch mcconnell. >> you have written extensively of republicans being quiet when they could be louder. do you think matt gaetz no longer the nominee or whatever mitch mcconnell may or may not be doing behind-the-scenes, do you think that's a sign of anything? are t

we saw the teamsters in terms of internal polling he was winning big time.ose three democratic strongholds, the democrat nominee in this case, kamala harris, did not have a chance. that is the thing. they should understand that donald trump won for a reason. he resignation with the buried viewers they seek to bring in. i will leave it there that trump designates with people while people joy behar and whoopi goldberg, with pickled bark when after staten island bakery because they would not make her a cake because the boiler went down? this is insane and people will be like i'm down with you guys, i'm down. speed to really quickly the postmortem abc anchor was on with last night. watch this. it is tough love for the democratic party and i think it needs to be stripped down and rebuilt. i think it is insulting when members of the working class, which the democratic party has lost entirely in our lifetimes to insist the economy is doing great. i think the biggest unforced error of the biden administration by far was the border to tell people it is not a problem

think with -- in this case we really really should have gn idea when trump had president of the teamstersublican national convention. something interesting was going on. and you just went through a list of some of the ideologically diverse picks that he has made. and you have to remember the bigger reason he is doing this is why he was elected. he was elected to fix the economy and fix the border. almost everything else was secondary to those goals. >> brian: byron, something else to bring up. when you stop the xl pipeline. when you stop all these things, you are hurting unions. unions got hurt. those deals were done. and they discombobulated them. men and women are were out of work. he wants to get that going again. when you put mandates for electric cars, you are hurt guilty the combustion engine people, which, for the most part are the american people still want. let electric cars compete. when you do that less workers, new plants and it hurts the other workers who suddenly have a slow down with their company. that's when the lines got blur you had. joe biden could pretend to be on pac
