that gives him an ability to communicate not just that the uaw has endorsed biden but why the uaw hasdiscussions that are particularly beneficial to biden in this case. >> john nichols, good to have you. >>> coming up, georgia could kick out dominion voting systems, what they could be replaced with. >>> israel won't accept a two-state solution. what happens if the u.s. and uk defy its ally and a palestinian state anyway. subway series sub today. ♪ i'm gonna hold you forever... ♪ ♪ i'll be there... ♪ ♪ you don't... ♪ ♪ you don't have to worry... ♪ ♪ students... students of any age, from anywhere. students in a new kind of classroom. ♪ using our technology to power different ways of learning. ♪ harnessing ai to plant new beginnings. ♪ so when minds grow, opportunities follow. ♪♪ whoo! ♪♪ light work! ♪♪ next victims. ♪♪ you ready for this? ♪pump up the jam pump it up♪ are you taking the right multi-vitamin? with new chapter, you get excellent quality, organic ingredients, and fermentation. fermentation? yes. feel the difference with 20 plus nutrients your body can absorb. so you can do y

majority of americas support the uaw strike. voters across party lines support the uaw strikes and support is rising.is a majority of americans back th uaw strike, as republican union support grows. support for this strike grows ow even among republicans. polls show the proportion of ep americans who support the car companies over the striking autoworkers is only 9%. so huge majorities of americans side with the folks on the picket line. basically, nobody sides against them. and there's president biden, not only vocally supporting them, not only saying as president they should get what they're asking for, but again, as president, physically joining them on the picket line to make the point. making history by doing so.ry now, what other republicans are going to do in response? you think about it, he's heading into his re-election. if you're the republicans, what do you do the day after that? the day after the president comes across the country to do t that? the day after the president does something that bold on an issue that pop

the uaw has already _ in the year? very big. the uaw has already endorsed _ in the year? very big.sed biden, i in the year? very big. the uaw| has already endorsed biden, but thatis has already endorsed biden, but that is the union leadership. we have seen voters, union voters, working class voters, solly migrate towards the republicans. it used to be about 70% or more went to the democrats in elections, and now about 60% have gone to donald trump in recent elections. —— slowly migrate. more of voting for former slowly migrate. more of voting forformer president slowly migrate. more of voting for former president trump. they tend to agree with them on social issues with the fact that he made some moves on nafta, which turned into us mca, and started the trade with china code that is a big issue for workers who fear their jobs will be exported overseas. they felt trump worked on trade and aligned with the socially more than the democrats. these are weak spots that president biden needs to shore up. he is working with the union workers. but he has a lot of work to do that when there

he received uaw endorsement in january, and he joined the uaw pickle on picket line outside detroit less legislation that created 30 new clean energy projects in michigan along with a three fold increase in private manufacturing construction. tonight we're going to see if all that worked from team biden has paid off at the ballot box. joining us is josh marshall, founder and editor in chief of talking points memo. thanks for being here. what's the strategy behind calling the president of the uaw stupid on the night of the michigan primary? >> i wouldn't say there is much of a strategy. that's pure trump. if you don't like trump your stupid and an idiot and a loser and all that kind of stuff. i have to imagine that trump is going to be play into whatever dissident vote there is within the uaw. so he's not really playing for that audience. but i don't think it is strategy. its personality. that's who he is. that's who trump. is >> when you look at the number of things that biden houston for the labor movement on the whole, for union workers in the state of michigan, it's astounding. we wer

. >> we saw the president with uaw leader shawn fain, uaw just endorsed the president, the same week the head of the teamsters met with former president trump. there was a split clearly in 2016 where leadership was and rank and file was. shawn fain is a different kind of leader for the uaw and he has successes to back that up. do you think that divide changes this time around? have you seen evidence that rank and file will be more likely to follow the endorsement? >> i think there is. first of all, the rank and file saw what four years of donald trump actually meant for them. he didn't bring back manufacturing jobs. joe biden has. donald trump would not be supportive of a union strike for a fair wage. joe biden was. the fact that president biden came to the picket lines and stood with the uaw at their moment of truth and helped them deliver an unprecedented contract, no matter what the political strife of a uaw member is, they're getting a big wage increase and joe biden stood with them to get that. that will translate. >> last one before i let you go. we spoke late fall, in 2016, i

. >> reporter: fain the first uaw pres president-elected directly by membership. he led shutdowns on assembly lines at ford, gm, and chrysler jeep parent company stellantis. >> we keep following the offers back here. we will keep filling that thing up until they want get serious. >> reporter: he broke with tradition by broadcasting updates via facebook to union members and the world at large. >> all three companies wanted concessions on profit sharing. we said hell no. >> reporter: why bring people into the process when usually these negotiations happen behind closed doors? >> it was important to us to be open and transparent with the membership not just in bargaining, but everything we are doing. >> reporter: the union's new contracts not only make up for pay cuts workers took more than 15 years ago during the great recession. they provide a foothold for the union in detroit's electric vehicle future. ford's ceo jim farley recently warned the contracts will have, quote, a business impact on the automaker. fain says impact is what he is all about. >> my grandfathe

the uaw has endorsed joe biden. he said he got 1 million more votes in 2020, which i think was a referral to the big lie. he lost that election. >> chris, also, i guess i would say the titles west campaign and the conspiracy theorists who were ever to, saying there was a concerted effort by the nfl to help joe biden become pun ex presidents, standing directly behind donald romp. woody johnson. the owner of the new york jets. vivek ramaswamy and his big day plans about what the nfl was up to. >> what a johnson along with a bunch of south carolina officials, he heard him mention henry mcmaster, the governor -- >> he called him mr. governor, because he doesn't know his name. if joe biden was on the state with a governor, and sit mr. governor, because he couldn't at that moment think of that name, there will be hit lance everywhere.

one of the things sean did with uaw, he made it a moral issue.an issue about morals. when he framed it that way, it actually helped more people to grab onto to what he was saying. amy: before we go, i want to turn to a different issue. we have just a minute. the moral case for cease fire that you have written about in gaza. you joined a group of christian leaders for a vigil outside the white house amending president biden support a cease fire, and said we must join forces with jews, christians, and muslims around the world calling for a cease-fire in gaza, return of all hostages and civilian prisoners, and to stop the killing. your final thoughts on this as israel weighs a full-scale invasion of rafah? rev. barber: we moral leaders need to say no to what hamas did to women and children, and know to what the israeli government and netanyahu is 10 ewing to do -- is threatening to do. also challenging the apartheid state that netanyahu has in israel. we must speak in one voice, christians, muslims, and the jews. the indiscriminate killing of women

: well, this was clearly a victory lap of sorts for the president, really wanting to celebrate that uaw endorsement he received last week and also very much a thank you visit. campaign officials saying nothing speaks louder than actually physically traveling and being on the ground to show that appreciation and when we saw the president visiting a uaw union hall earlier and giving brief remarkses, those remarks were clearly tailor made to appeal to working class union voters that he is going to be fighting for heading into november. he again described himself the most pro-union president. he gave the sort of populist made comments that were sort of populist in the theme saying, you know, the wall street didn't create the middle class it was the labor movement and also tried to tout the economic recovery under his watch. take a listen. >> we now have in large part because of you and organized labor the strongest economy in the whole damn world! [ applause ] we do. we do. in the whole world. inflation is coming down. jobs are growing. we created 800,000 manufacturing jobs. remember they t

you saw the uaw president on i think it was last week. i can't even, it's all a blur these days. he admitted, the uaw president admitted, right, that the majority of overwhelming majority of his rank and file members will probably end up voting for trump. president trump going to meet with the teamsters leadership in washington showing respect, asking for their vote i think is going to bear a lot of fruit. it's a rule of politics. you need to ask for people's vote to get it and i think that showing up and putting in the work is going to bear a lot of fruit for him. look, his rise amongst people of color. african americans and hispanics. it's because they are following white working class voters. did with reagan and trump in 2016. they are following, they're moving towards trump because of his policies. they're not big fans of democratic wokeness and the like and so i think you're going to see that slide continue to the republican party as you know educated white folks kind of slide over to the democratic party. it's kind of through the looking glass here. >> race plays such a rol

he has visited the picket lines and made appearances with uaw leaders.ment, but i think the uaw will help campaign forjoe biden. they really disliked donald trump. when it comes to those two communities, the muslim and arab voters, in michigan, they don't like donald trump, either. and they made it very clear, because of the muslim band that he initiated when he first took office in 2016. so neither of these has a lock on either of these has a lock on either of these photographs. —— ban. indie these photographs. -- ban. we will wait to _ these photographs. —— ban. we will wait to see what happens in that key battleground state. david welch, thank you for your time updates. detroit bureau chief at bloomberg. thank you. —— your updates. to the israel—gaza war now where we're learning new details about a proposed temporary ceasefire, according to the biden administration. negotiators are hoping to reach a ceasefire agreement that can be implemented before ramadan, which begins on march 10. the draft framework would include a 40—day pause in all military ope

fresh off his significant endorsement from the united auto workers, president biden visited the uaw in in a passionate speech, saying the country owes them for the boom in the economy. >> folks, look, we now have, in large part because of you and organized labor, the strongest economy in the whole damn world. [ applause ] we do. we do. in the whole world. inflation coming down. jobs are growing. we created 800,000 manufacturing jobs. remember, they told us manufacturing is dead in america, china was going to eat our lunch? guess what, man, we don't taste that good. so, look, folks, i really mean it, thank you, thank you, thank you, and the whole country owes you. >> a warm reception there. at the same time, outside the venue, a group of protesters gathered for a demonstration, calling for an immediate cease-fire in the middle east and chanting, "abandon biden" over the president's continued support of israel and its war in gaza. joining us now, white house reporter for "bloomberg" news, josh wingrove. he was with the president on his trip to michigan yesterday and enjoyed detroit style

president biden will be meeting with the uaw.rst big event that they are planning together since sean fane saying he's our guy for president. that didn't shock people. we're still waiting to hear from a number of other big unions, perhaps none more closely than the international brotherhood of teamsters. sean o'brien joining us right now. thanks for being here. >> thank you. >> neil: we know where the uaw stands. where do you and you're union stand? >> as i've stated publicly is that we are doing our due diligence. we have reached out to the president biden's campaign staff. they have not given us a date as of yet. we met with former president trump yesterday. we're doing our due diligence and will continue to do that. we are not going to be pressured by anybody to make a decision. this is one of our most important decisions that we're going to have to make and we're inclusive, especially with the rank and file members. we're going to be thoughtful about the choice we make. >> neil: so when could we expect that decision? >> histo

so a uaw endorsement in a state that employs a lot of uaw members is a significant endorsement, especially this early on. we have quite a ways until the election, so president biden is going to be able to really tout this endorsement, not only in michigan but in places across the country. >> amanda, both of these candidates want support from blue collar workers, especially in some of these swing states. trump spent yesterday reaching out to the teamsters union, and it didn't go particularly well. one executive board member refused to attend and called trump a known union buster, scab and insurrectionist. if you are trump's team, do you just blow that off, or should alarm bells be going off? >> well, i think outwardly they'll blow it off, but certainly donald trump has coveted union endorsements for a long time, and there's been a long-standing hope among the republican party that in this new area of sort of economic populism or however you want to couch it, the republican party would have more opportunity to make inroads with that community. but clearly if they're not even willing to sit d

that's why we were with the uaw today. they're enthusiastically supportive of him because they understand -- it was donald trump who said -- i remember this because i was there in the middle of helping to lead the auto rescue -- who said let them go bankrupt. it was president obama at the time and vice president biden and now president biden who moved forward and said we need manufacturing in an auto industry and we need well-paid workers. >> it was trump that said that or mitt romney? >> there's a big story to tell in michigan. it's complicated. i'm sorry? say it again. >> it was trump that said let them go bankrupt or mitt romney that said let them go bankrupt? >> no. trump said -- i don't know if mitt said that too. trump back when we were doing all of this said they should. then, when they were organizing, he said that, you know, you should not give them higher wages. you should just make -- go to the south. move all your jobs to the south. he told the auto companies, move the jobs to the south. less wages and bring th

history biden secured enforcement of uaw, bloomberg reported trump a winning from grassroots campaigncan airlines, united parcel service you might have leadership of uaw with biden i suspect there are workers with trump. >> well, i think that is a big reason that trump is likely to carrier michigan this time i go back to new york story we are watching a financial assassination all different corrupt judges in new york corrupt attorneys general state of new york what we are doing to trump is literally a financial assassination they are methodically trying to destroy eliminate in a way so utterly totally un-american a friend of mine said you don't need siberia if you have new york city you can destroy political oent in the open, and that is exactly what they are trying to do the legitimize was not only a massive absurd crime in a days no victims no one lost any money nobody came into say they were defrauded in addition judge said trump and two sons could not do business for the next three years in new york, basically an compile, and went on to say no new york bank could loan trump the mo

just hours from now, president biden will meet in detroit with members of the uaw. a week after he won their endorsement at their conference in washington. it's a battle between boiden an trump for union hearts and minds. yesterday trump met with teamsters leaders at their d.c. headquarters as he tries to drive a wedge between biden and organized labor. historically, they have been a loyal democratic constituency, and trump acknowledging he's unlikely to fully win their support. >> i think we had a very productive meeting. stranger things have happened. usually a republican wouldn't get that endorsement for many, many years. they only do democrats, but in my case, i have employed thousands of teamsters. i thought we should come over and pay our respects. >> joining us now is politics white house reporter steven collinsson. it's wonderful to have you. what's your sense of how trump was received by the union workers he met with yesterday? and there is this divide in some ways between union leadership, which has stuck with the democrats by and large, and rank and file

now the plan for this afternoon is for the president to meet with members of the uaw.he campaign is obviously rying to capitalize on that coveted political endorsement he received last week, and for now there aren't any official plans for the president to meet with any leaders or members of the arab american community, but that's a space we'll be watching really closely. again, the president is trying to feel these criticisms and concerns and try to make sure the erosion of support that we have seen so far, that doesn't become a bigger erosion and a bigger problem as we head into november. dana? >> thank you so much for that reporting, manj, and now let's to the heart of the area where arab americans live and could help determine whether or not joe biden will actually take michigan again. jeff zeleny, you were there. you have been doing a lot of reporting on this. give us a sense of what you are hearing on the ground there. >> reporter: well, dana, this is one place where president biden will not be coming today. in fact, he will be going to a county just north of detr

even the union endorsement from the uaw was immediately deflated when the head of uaw went on tv, to be clear, most of our members will vote for donald trump, they are not for joe biden. what he is trying to unravel in michigan -- >> let me push back, it is not narrow . as the congresswomen talked about there is a lot of pain felt across the country about what is happening in the middle east, particularly arab and muslim communities, jewish communities. many of those of us watching the pain, feeling the pain. obviously, i agree, he will not get peace in the middle east at the same time, what i think is more important is the outreach to these communities. having these tough conversations which is critically important. the other thing, i was a god willing as a christian that we get to a place where perhaps there is some kind of settlement or peace negotiated that the united states can play a constructive role. that is good for him as the leader of the united states of america and it would be good politically. >> thanks to both of you . >>> you likely heard about deepfakes and fake robo

and looked, the uaw has always stood for peace, and we've called for a cease-fire. we're going to keep pushing. and i believe they will do the right thing. and i believe that michigan will deliver for president biden. we can't afford to go backwards. in a trump presidency would be a disaster. by right thing do you mean call for a cease-fire? >> well, i mean, yes. obviously, more action needs to be happened there. so, what is happening over there is just wrong. this is about humanity, and, you know, innocent people are being killed. women, children. and it is senseless. there's no excuse for it. so -- >> you mentioned former president trump and he's not been happy since you endorsed president biden. he's been blasting even criticizing you. he just met with teamsters, which is obviously one of the biggest unions. it represents truck drivers, pilots, others. the question is, who will shauna brian from teamsters endorsed? and as he's weighing that, i wonder what it would say to you if he does endorse trump, and what it would say for the labor movement overall? >> i am n

the main purpose of the trip is to capitalize on that uaw endorsement that the president received last week he is going to be meeting with members of that union group in just a little bit, but before that, we saw him stopping by at a local restaurant to mingle and chat with some of the local residents as he is, of course, trying to court some of these voters in this very critical battleground state of michigan as he mentioned. from the campaign's perspective, the main purpose really is to court and go after some of these working-class union voters that are going to be so critical to determining the outcome of the election in a state like this, but i think in the background, of course, this issue with arab-american voters. in the state. they make up a big segment of the population here, who of course, many of whom have expressed a lot of anger, frustration, about the situation with the israel hamas war. many of them have expressed anger directly at the president saying they see his continued support for israel as making him impart complicit for the humanitarian crisis that we have seen

. >> last week i know you called for-- i'm curious is that something -- (inaudible) >> i think the uaw terrible decision and by allowing all electric cars, they're all going to be made in china, you're going to have no jobs over year, but i will not allow all electric cars, i'm going to have all kinds of cars because the electric mandate is disaster. they don't go far enough, and they cost too much. we don't have the materials to make them, but china does and you've heard me say it a hundred times. i would buy that, you can buy an electric car, absolutely, but you're also going to be able to buy other types of cars and types of propulsion, depending on what you want. you're going to be able to buy what you want to buy. we went -- am of you were there, iowa, where it was 40 degrees below zero on voting night. 40 degrees below zero and did you notice all those cars pulled over to the side. they were all electric cars, they don't work well in cold weather. that was very cold weather. i just want to say though, we had an incredible month. we beat in iowa, knocked out the competition and go

uaw president shawn fain didn't mince words when talking about the republican frontrunner. >> donald! [cheering] >> stephen: okay. i get where you're coming from, but the polite term is "cold sore american". oh, there's more good news for biden. the economy is cooking right along. the dow's north of 38,000, wages are up, unemployment's below 4% for 23 months in a row, and today the commerce department announced the economy grew at 3.3% rate in the last quarter. what does that mean? well, it's a little technical, but according to macroeconomic theory, number go up equal good. [cheers and applause] is that right? can you check my math? can you check me on that? you got that? for all last year, everyone was predicting a recession, but instead, every economic indicator of bidenomics is positive. or as the news people say it... >> it's an economy that's cooling on the inflation front but still showing growth on the spending front. >> the goldilocks. >> perfect goldilocks scenario. >> we're getting some of that goldilocks. >> it is goldilocks. >> this is goldilocks. >> stephen: "that's rig

they got the uaw endorsement last week but to your point we can't think of them as separated issues.uaw event last week, even the president who endorsed him got push back from rank and file members who think they should be doing more on issues like the war in gaza or pressing him -- he was disrupted a couple of times at that event. it links to 2016. there was a split between union leadership and kind of where they were and rank and file voters. that's where you have trump pitching himself to the teamsters. he knows he won't get the top line endorsement but he is trying to have brand recognition so he can pull off enough people there. i think it might be tougher because, to phil's point, donald trump has lost some branding with that kind of moderate working class person from 2016 to now. but there's still the kind of push that he is making. i think joe biden feels good about where they are in kind of their relationships on the ground, but i think specifically you will have a big american population, on today in our podcast we have the mayor of dearborn, michigan. >> i can't wait to li

uaw workers holding up signs calling for a ceasefire.talk about why you decided to have this meeting and not boycott the invite. and also what they had to say to you about where president biden stands on the ceasefire. >> there was no direct commitment on the ceasefire. what i will say is when they invited us to meet with the campaign manager, we respected it because this is not the time to engage in electoral politics, particularly when you see 30,000 innocent folks that have been murdered at the hands of weaponry that are u.s. taxpayer money has unfortunately funded. the conversation was clear that we need to have a serious framework for us to say the united states should lead in moral clarity to fight for peace and that we are not going to engage about this and he says through electoral politics. palestinian life should not be measured in poll numbers but on the basis of their humanity. that is what we reiterated. anytime there is an opportunity to engage on policy, we are going to try to do that. that is what yesterday's attempt was.

president biden talking up the uaw endorsement.rily translate into votes in the critical swing state. michigan holds its primaries today. donald trump's policies and personality resonate deeply. we have two people here. one from the automakers for trump 2024 and mike who works in the auto industry and supports uaw. thank you both for your time. you heard what he said the most union president ever. i was looking at your resumes here, brian you have been in the auto industry 38 years for the union coming up on 40. you are voting trump. tell me why. let's start there. >> well, it's very simple for me, bill. donald trump came into office, tore up the nafta agreement which was horrible for american auto workers and renegotiated the usmca that leveled the playing field. that alone is enough. but opening up anwar in alaska for oil drilling. got gas prices below $2 a gallon. all of biden's policies have basically hurt auto workers. he showed up for 15 minutes to walk on a picket line and get his picture taken. nothing more than a photo op.

president, of course uaw, its home is inhe detroit.vors biden but not all of hi s members do.av rollor tape. >> look, let me be clear about this. a greal t majority of our membes will not vote for president biden. yet some will. but that's the reality of this. of.th the majority he was willing to say that. >> if the election were heldg today, davidto, liz, donald trur is your 47th president. for this reason. for starters, he's leading in every swing state, that's a poln that came up from the hill, soms by responsible till largehi margins, -ll- relatively largeis margins. he's p up 10 in nevada. he losarolt that state twice.ra five in michigan. if michigan goes to donald a trump, he will win in two groupm will putp, him over the line, b dog,th blue collar workers, especially in the auto industry. they saw what biden did as far as mandates around electric cars and knows how much that hurt them. and black and a hispanic as well. i've got a crazy number. this comes this week and it shows from howard university, they conducted a poll. they

when he was with people in the uaw hall in the restaurant, the man was the joe biden i've known foreverking issues and converting uaw workers that weren't sure. >> dana: let me ask you about michigan in particular. fox news poll showing that president trump if election was held today 47/45. it has been razor thin in michigan the last few elections. and because it's so close, it's very interesting i want to get your take one of your fellow democrats of michigan calling on democrats to boycott voting for biden in the primary this week. watch here. >> it is also important to create a voting block, something that is a bull horn to say enough is enough. we don't want a country that supports war of destruction. we want to stand up for every single life killed. we feel completely neglected and unseen by our government. if you want us to be louder, then come here and vote uncommitted. >> dana: that blunt conversation questions that you had for president biden, did you ask him how he would handle somebody like this in the democratic party being so aggressively working against him? >> i had a ver

what did you hear and why did the uaw decide to support president biden. >> i never spoke to the uawhey are hopeless case they lead their industry into the poorhouse and now they finished it off. if biden get selected you will not have an auto worker working in the united states everything is going over to china and everything outside. this electric car band-aid is insane they don't go far in class dimension will be made and china because of the material to make it we have oil and gas, gasoline and that's what people want for the most part. also this if you want to buy an electric car you should be able to but if you were to buy internal combustion or hybrid you should have everything everything for sale. right now they have tens of thousands of electric vehicles but nobody wants to buy them. maria: is the main issue for the teamsters. >> we didn't even talk about that you know what we talked about nobody's coming into our country illegally meaning we have a strong border ahead of her strong border. millions and millions of people are coming in with biden there's not to be any teamst

and we've got to do that at every union hall in michigan, not just uaw, every union hall. >> i was theretrump particularly among white working class voters. michigan as we know is one of the most important states on this map. democrats lost it in 2016, joe biden won it back in 2020. polls suggesting he's down right now in michigan, and some of it at least is because of the frustration from the pretty sizable arab american, muslim american population there who don't like how he's supported israel and its conduct in gaza. how big of a concern is this for you? >> i'm going to give you a big picture which is first of all michigan is always a purple state. i chaired the gore campaign in 2000. al gore was down the weekend before the election. he went to flint instead of florida, who knows what would have happened, we won michigan. it's a purple state. and, again, everybody told me i was crazy when i said donald trump was going to win michigan. the polls didn't show it. polls are an indication they're not -- i think this year people recognized michigan's a competitive state. i think the arab am

i've been campaigning with a president who gets overwhelming positive responses we went to uaw hall is a couple of weeks ago. i've been with our building construction workers and their leadership in the last two weeks. they are working. they are working overtime. they know where that is coming from. they know that the fact that we are rebuilding michigan and creating more manufacturing jobs and bringing jobs home, they know that. so, the polls are the polls. but i can just tell you, with all the bad polls we hear, all the time, the reality is we've won every special election as democrats. we have beat the polls, it seems, like over and over and over again. and so, michigan's a purple state. we are going to have to work really hard. but i don't believe for a minute that he has lost support, given what he has been doing to support workers in michigan. >> senator stabenow, it's chris hayes here. just a follow-up on that, it's interesting to hear you talk about the sort of economic status of folks in michigan. for so long, i think, despite all the truly remarkable macroeconomic numbers, th

. >> and the uncertainty with the uaw fearing that that's going to take away jobs, you know, it's --endorsement, he hopes that goes a long way in michigan this fall. brendan, there was to you best described a cringey moment at donald trump's town hall when he was teasing the potential vice presidential picks. he touted senator tim scott of south carolina while also putting him down. here it was. >> i have to say this is in a very positive way, tim's got -- he has been much better for me than he was for himself. i watched his campaign, and he doesn't like talking about himself, but boy does he talk about trump. i called him, i said tim, you're better for me than you were for yourself. >> it's sort of the sycophantish behavior of so many of these vice presidential possibilities right now that is sort of remarkable to watch in this climate, brendan. >> yeah, and that's the ultimate thing donald trump is looking for in a vp potential nominee. obviously first and foremost, he wants somebody who's going to be obedient, and that's what we saw with mike pence for four years until the very en

biden walked the picket line with uaw workers last month the union endorsed him for another term but after the hottest year on record environmental advocates warn slowing the emissions target rollout will have a cost >> more oil use. more pollution more global warming. and more kids with asthma so that's a bad deal >> and tom, a final decision expected this spring >> reporter: that's right. late may or early april. late march, early april. exactly how automakers achieve those emissions standards, though, through a mix of evs, hybrids, regular gas vehicles, that will be up to them, lester >> all right, tom, thank you. >>> up next a warning about climate change and why it has this winter tradition on ice. you want to see who we are as americans? i'm peter dixon and in kenya... we built a hospital that provides maternal care. as a marine... we fought against the taliban and their crimes against women. and in hillary clinton's state department... we took on gender-based violence in the congo. now extremists are banning abortion and contraception right here at home. so, i'm running for co

auto industry has been the backbone of the economy for a century powered by the men and women of the uaw. [applause] we want the auto workers and industry to thrive right here in michigan and i know that unites us. [applause] so let's hope that both do what they do best. make the world's best cars and trucks with of the my vehicle rebate, we can lower cost to support to a union made future. next, housing. usually the largest expense in anyone's budget. right now too many spend more than half their income on their rent or mortgage. hours housing stock is nearly half of all units in michigan were built before 1970. young people site housing affordability as one of their top concerns. these are statewide challenges. in the school district they need housing for teachers who have nowhere else to live. on the west side there are not enough homes for growing families and i know they see higher rates when they reassign. in other words, the rent is too damn high-end we don't have enough houses. [applause] so our response is simple. build baby build. let's go. [applause] our target is clear in mic

i couldn't say that about donald trump >> robert uaw member are retired uaw member and i should be more democratic than anything else, but you know, like biden said, i don't work for you let me answer. he hasn't worked for me and his policies aren't or conform me >> now, from a voting perspective, from a pure numbers perspective, what was interesting about this cycle is that this is the first election tests we've seen since the state allowed early in-person voting and a lot of people took it vantage of that, but it's tens of thousands, but also absentee voting when you combine those two over million people already voted, and when you take a look at the fact that over a little bit more than 2 million people voted in 2020s primary. obviously a huge chunk, which is what i'm going to say that's why there aren't that many people here at this point right now. >> because it's not like people aren't voting. but what we've seen at this location has definitely been a little quieter than what we've seen in the past, at least according to some of the election officials here. >> all right. omar jime

but if you flash forward 15 years to joe biden as president today, he is out walking on uaw picket lines toward the middle class, it pushed so much money out the door to working people that it actually caused inflation. and you look at what it is that politicians like warren and sanders have called for. i think there's a large degree of unity on economics and that is one reason why the party has remained unified behind joe biden. so he has come a long way in kind of melding the two wings of the party, in a way that kind of points the direction forward for democrats generally i think. i don't think we're ever going to go back to a time when, if there is another financial crisis, democrats are going to hand all the money to wall street banks. i think they've learned that lesson and i think joe biden's success in 2020, and if he has success in 2024, will help to underline that message. >> jordan: it is a great read. "the rebels" is available now. josh green, everybody. we are going to take a quick break but we'll be right back after this. [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ chipotle's braised beef ba

of time in ian house where folks are working construction who overtime over time over time, who the uaw strong support. and the truth is that we've had 350,000 new jobs created in michigan under joe biden, 200,000 or lost when when trump left we had lost 200,000 jobs. so there's there's a lot of really important stories to tell. >> you said, though you told my colleague, it's not helpful the push to have people vote uncommitted. why is it not helpful? >> well, i think it's i really am conflict ends. people need to be heard. they are being heard. i think they have done important things to be heard, and i really, really respect that. i think when we look at the fall and what is at stake for michigan and the country with donald trump versus joe biden than we are going to have to work really, really hard to make sure everybody is coming together. i think that is the big challenge because when we look at this protest vote around the israel gaza issue could cost joe biden, michigan and therefore the election. i think we're >> a long ways from november, and that there's a lot of important work
