[cheers and applause] two days ago, donald t

shop and attacked the uaw., striking and collective bargaining don't make -- and i'm going to quote -- a damn bit of difference. so here is the bottom line. donald trump's track record is a disaster for working people, and he is, i believe, an existential threat to america's labor movement, and everything he intends to do if he is reelected is also spelled out in that project 2025. so to read it and to know it is to know he intends to launch a full-on attack on unions and the freedom to organize. okay. he will ban public sector unions, roll back workplace safety protections. read it when you have some time. google it. everybody is watching. look, he will make it easier for companies to deny overtime pay for workers and appoint a union buster to run the department of labor. be sure of that. be sure of that. so to all of the friends here, i say what you already know, it is time to turn the page. turn the page. turn the page. because america is ready to chart a new way forward, and we are not going back! we are no

[applause] and also because of the years i have working for the uaw and general motors, i think that your record shows that because you have a background of being in business, i think that you see the changes and where we need to go in order to grow the business and grow the jobs. i also see that your policies in the past and the policies you say you will enact with the border, with china, with our energy resources, the direction you want to do take from a long time ago back when you work president before -- that's why i think you are best for this country, best for the uaw, and best for the workers. [cheers and applause] also, i would like to take this opportunity -- i don't have my notes, but i just want to say that i always saw you as the most genuine candidate. a regular joe, as they introduced me as in the bio. i appreciate that. i think you are for the people and for america. that's why i think you are the best. mr. trump: thank you. i want to start by saying you look a lot younger than you must be because you have worked for the company 46 years -- that's a long time. you look

you can't go by what shawn fein, the socialist uaw presidents, says.p is about 65% for trump, and i know that for fact because i've been doing an auto plant rally every week since memorial day, and we talk to the autoworkers as they're coming off their shift, chrysler, gm and ford plants. i'm getting the feedback directly from the guys on the line doing the voting, and it's a solid 65% -- elizabeth: more than two-thirds of the rank and file of the uaw, like the teamsters, are going for trump. that's what you're saying. i mean, that's interesting news and an interesting development. we're breaking news here, brian -- [laughter] because kamala and democrats, you know they use top-down focus groups, scripted talking points, all terrible strategies in an age of authenticity. d.c. watchers say trump has the our aura of authenticity. voters connect to him. do people connect to beyonce and and george clooney talking about inflation? >> no, and they don't care who taylor swift endorses or bruce springsteen endorses kamala that harris. the harris-walz ticket is

and i could tell you in interviewing leaders of the uaw, and other unions, they are very conscious of the power of this issue. i can't necessarily quote some of uaw president fain's comments about donald trump on this issue because family television. >> i got that. john, i think you'll be happy to hear this news because i know you have been talking about how kamala harris needs to do less events with the liz cheney's and conservative republicans, and more with the obamas. the harris campaign announced president obama will join her for a rally in georgia next week, a get out the vote rally. that's going to happen next week. maybe she or somebody on the campaign was reading some of your work, john nichols. >> and michelle is going out on the trail too, in a few days. in detroit. >> interesting. gentlemen, thank you very much. >>> still ahead, he helped make donald trump a household name, what a former nbc marketing executive who promoted "the apprentice" is saying about the show and its star. >>> and what was just unsealed in jack smith's election interference case. we are back in 90 se

[booing] and attacked the uaw.e said striking and collective bargaining don't make "a dam bit since --a damn bit of difference" is what he said. all right, brother. [laughter] michigan, you know better. strong unions mean higher wages, better health care and greater dignity for union members and for everyone whether or not you are part of a union! [cheering and applause] get that straight! which is why when i am president i will sign the pro avenue into law and make it easier for workers to join unions and negotiate for better pay and working conditions. [cheering and applause] now donald trump is making the same empty promises to the people of michigan he did before , hoping you will forget how he let you down the last time. but we will not be fooled. we know how to read project 2025. for those who haven't seen it, just google it. i have to keep repeating, i can't believe they put that in writing. they put it -- they bound it. they published it and handed it out! and now they are trying to run from it, come on! we

when the uaw did not take that poll, what would find either doing rallies at plants by former uaw members 40 of the folks leading the plan giving a thumbs up taking signs. i do think that they know something is going on and it's not good for the future and the economic future and by the way all the other problems, high gas, high groceries and all the other things that came with it and people saying we have to have a change. that's why i think this will change and that's why we will win this election. >> you think the gop takes the senate and you will be a part of that? >> i really do, all of our independents are starting to break our way we have done a massive ground campaign in the state of michigan and you can find out about the out rogers for senate.com i would love to have you on board. this will come down to the wire. it's going to be close were going to win because independents are coming over in the diverse coalition starting to come in. trump brought ten or 12 bombs on stage in oakland county and that's a really critical voting block. maria: increasing the your hearing the arab co

people that tend to be tied to the uaw still tend to be more democratic. but as most people probably know, the teamsters have declined to endorse, despite president biden saving their pension plan and so on. there has been a decoupling in particular because of trump's advanced rhetoric around being pro-worker. that has perhaps played a role and their emphasis on, you know, mitt romney for example, the previous republican nominee was ceo of bank capital. which was responsible for some of these closings across the midwest. president obama ran against him partly on that record of industrialization. he had some tough ads around that and went to nafta to celebrate this re-shoring that was very modest at that time. and he also centered his campaign around saving the auto industry in the wake of the financial crisis. i think it shows the importance of these issues and the main issue of having a good job is so central. and i think whoever is able to better convince working-class voters that they are the person that will deliver it will, you know, have an advantage

uaw endorsed harris in july. it was a boost to her candidacy.placed biden, international brotherhood of teamsters and firefighters made the decision not to endorse a candidate after historically supporting democrats and backing biden in 2020. another challenge for harris, skepticism from arab voters who are unhappy with the support for israel's war in gaza. hamtramck mayor, who is muslim and from yemen, posted a video. he said, he assured his goal is to end the chaos in middle east. a reporter for the free press said mayor bill bosley said we need a commander in chief to come stop the wars. notably, donald trump's actual response to the war in gaza is telling benjamin netanyahu to do what you have to do. the arab-american pack declined to endorse harris or trump according to the arab american institute. detroit has a population of nearly 400,000 people. joining me now is someone steeped in michigan politics. great front of the show and knows the voters they are well. debbie stabenow of michigan. she's retiring once for term ends at the end of th

that is what we see happening in this race. >> i hear what you're saying, afl-cio, uaw, a lot of unionshat you describe, some did it assesses you, others took more time. there are others that haven't, they have not come around and the polling does indicate, maybe not reliable, while most union members are supporting kamala harris, there does not seem to be the payback from the idea this is an administration solidly behind organized labor and collective bargaining. president biden and vice president harris make reference to it all the time, when asked about whether they would invoke the government to bring the dockworkers back, they said, no. this is for collective bargaining to take care of. >> that's right, we respect collective bargaining. as a result of the hands-off approach by the biden administration, we was able to secure a collective bargaining agreement with that international longshoreman. collective bargaining works, there are times when the government can play an important role and there is a time people need to start back and let the process work. collective bargaining is t

we heard the uaw has endorsed kamala harris but at the same time the head of the uaw says his membersld trump. sean o'brien may be saying the same thing. that does it for us on cavuto coast-to-coast. brian brenberg is next. brian: hello, every one. i'm brian brenberg. taylor: i am taylor riggs. lydia: i am lydia hu. welcome to "the big money show".

so they could pay their workers less and when the uaw went on strike, when the uaw went on strike to demand higher wages that you deserve. donald trump went to a non-union shop said striking. he said striking and collective bargaining don't and i'm a quote don't make a bit of difference. that's what he said about striking in collective bargaining. well, michigan, you know, better we know better strong unions mean higher wages, better health care, and greater obama meantime is campaigning for hern battleground. >> arizona, where he once again went after former president trump, this time raising questions about the republican nominee's mental fitness for office competence have you seen him lately and then he is out there. he's given to two-and-a-half-hour speeches, just word salads. you have no idea what he's talking about. he's talking about hannibal lecter talking about this. he's talking about that he held a town hall meeting where he just let me explain because i've done a lot of town hall meetings the point of a town hall meeting is to take questions he just decided, you know what

we have the president show up on your picket lines at the uaw.e saw the end of a long strike with the writers guild but with some real gains made by them but we saw the sack after a strike resolved. you have called donald trump a scab. the uaw called for a national labor relations board investigation to comment that elon musk made on social media. it was discussing firing striking workers, which would be illegal. what is the update on that? there is a deeper issue and it is the type of message that we are sending to american workers when donald trump says things like that. >> that is who he is. you know, as kamala harris put it when people tell you who they are, believe them. it is all on donald dumps -- donald trump's track record. he was president and did not do anything to bring jobs back factories closed and he did nothing. it is the same thing. he talks about his stance with workers and our members he sits there with elon musk and called e long the greatest cutter and celebrates ham and laughing about the fact that he fired striking workers.

the uaw. the teamsters may not have actually endorsed from the top but the reality is he wins big. one area of the democratic coalition is very badly frayed, i think, is in unions. trump is going to win a huge volume of the union vote, indeed, trump might well carry the percentage, the plurality, the majority of the union vote. >> yeah, yeah. yeah, we're a new party under president trump. this has happened over the last eight or nine years we're a populous party rooted in conservative principle and that second part is really important. president trump made that change for our party and we're the party of common sense. the senator is exactly right. larry we're getting something we very seldom get in american politics. back to back administrations now running for the top job, and you can do the direct comparison. i say under president trump, we had a secure border, under biden-harris no border. under president trump we had safe streets under biden-harris record crime. $2 gas to $4 gas, stable pr

are you satisfied now with the deal that uaw made and in light of this new record profits be with you again we're very satisfied and, that's the goal of the union, is to just get our fair share. and these companies were very profitable then. and as we see, they're still very profitable now, in all the workers want as our fair share when it comes to seeing this news, how might that potentially change your approach when the contract is up and you're dealing with the next negotiation hope all workers get to see this and it's not just us, it's other industries without a union i don't think that any one worker could get this and let it be a lesson. all the fear tactics and scare tactics that they use to say, you know, the company will go bankrupt if you get this, all these naysayers that were saying that the exact opposite is true. and we see it in the earnings now. so we need to learn from this and all workers need to learn from this. they have the money and all we want is our fair share. we want our companies to be healthy. so moments like this it's especially with our profit sharing can

she walked those lines with uaw workers.] and she fought side-by-side to save those pensions for over one million union members. [applause] because you see it and you know she knows it, she understands unions and working people are the backbone of this country. as governor of minnesota, i had the privilege of signing one of the biggest packages of pro-worker policies in history into law and now minnesota is one of the best dates for workers in the country. that is our vision for every state across the country. donald trump and jd vance have a different view of things. just yesterday, donald trump was in detroit and he said our whole country will end up being detroit. you are going to have a mess on your hands. [booing] look, that is not unexpected for him, that is exactly what he is going to do, tear down america. if you would have ever spent any time in the midwest, we know detroit is experiencing an american comeback and renaissance. [applause] look, i'm a twins fan and you whipped our ass. we know you are there. cities gr

stuart: half of uaw members at his plant will vote trump. >> exposition of what they are endorsing andhen it comes to the polls in two weeks. the other major car manufacturing union, the teamsters chose not to endorse anyone for president, decades of precedent. they couldn't see a clear winner, that's a case of what we've heard. stuart: thank you. two weeks until election day, they are eating into democrats early voting advantage. that an important indicator. lawmakers are targeting federal remote work. they want to know how many people are not coming into office buildings. good story next. stuart: nasdaq recovering down 9. amazon is preparing to launch a new market place to combat the highly discounted chinese retailer, amazon puts price merchants can charge for specific items. it would be $8, and $9 for betting. and they put a end to remote works. 4 years since the pandemic and you are telling me federal employees are still working from home and a lot are doing it. lauren: that's the case. and to what extent work from home is still happening for the federal workers. bipartisan group

unlikely uaw strike which was not long ago. a lot of those, that was a targeted strike.pecific locations. they struck all the ports. this is the largest strike from new york and new jersey. the shippers were testing their resolve. my estimation is the resolve is strong and they are pretty loud and they are getting support from a lot of locations in addition from the biden administration and the person of the president himself injecting labor secretary and transportation secretary. early this morning truckers in a large caravan, you might think truckers wouldn't be supportive of the strikers because after a few days when the loads that are delivered the truckers aren't going to have anything to do but it seems truckers are behind them. you can hear in the background the international longshoremen's association is grateful for the support. as to where the shipping stands look at a picture we have of the ships that are in coming to the atlantic and gulf ports. we are told by those who know that 120 ships are en route. they've got nowhere to go and at the moment the ships sh

and he packed the uaw. he said, striking and collective bargaining don't make a bit of difference. remember how he talked about striking workers. they should be fired. that's how he talks about union labor. that is how he talks about workers. flint, we know strong unions mean higher wages, better health care, and greater dignity. for union members and for everyone. host: can you talk about the impact of whoever wins in november on unions and labor workers? guest: first of all, it is great to see the vice president in flint, michigan. i grew up up the road from flint. probably the only thing that she missed was the support for the detroit tigers in the playoffs. her poll numbers would have gone up a lot if she mentioned that. there are enormous steaks for unions in this election. anyway that you cut it, you are going from what labor unions broadly agree is the most prounion president in history, at least in our lifetime. he considered them in every decision that he has made. so you're going from that to at best for them, someone who is relatively unknown and comparison to joe biden

and he is a uaw members, brian penny backer. and brian if he's around i want to get him up here for a second. where's brian? come here, brian. look at the arms on this guy. >> thank you, mr. president. listen, i met donald trump eight years ago. i said if you come here and ask for the auto workers support and you get it you might win big enough to carry the whole state. guess what, that's exactly what we did. now, listen, i i've got about 150 coworkers here with me, see them. make some noise, guys. we've got ten days left and i'm not here to try and convince you who to vote for because we know who everybody in this room is voting for. what i am here to do is to send you out of here to go home and talk to ten of your friends, neighbors, coworkers and family members and make sure every single one of them votes, because our industry, the automotive industry is on the line and it's not going to die on my watch when we've got this man running for president. >> thank you, brian. look at the arms on that guy. boy, oh boy. do all auto w

and uawmember says how trump will carry 67% of the uaw, teamsters my have not endorsed from top, bute will win big. one area that democratic coalition is badly frayed i think is in unions, drusm trump will win a huge volume of union vote, trump may carry percentage. majority. >> we're a new party under president trump that happened over last 8 or 9 years we're a populist party rooted in competitive principle -- in conservative principle, we're getting something we very seldom get in american politics back-to-back administrations now running for top job, you can do comparison, i say, under president trump we had a secure border and biden-harris no border, urge president trump safe streets and biden-harris record crime, and gas, and c commander in chief who -- strength. wages were up for union workers, nonworkers, all workers, that is what is sinking in with people. we're now a populous party rooted in conservative principles in the constitution which we always should have been. larry: black and hispanic wages went up under trump, not under biden, barely. abovpoverty fell significantly

we're in the final stretch and early voting and and uaw mott supporting trump or kamala harris. how does this change the playing field like in states overman after trump was there today. >> the uaw leadership has been entrenched in democrat party politics for decades and they may support president trump's opponent kamala harris and the worker's and people that are the life blood of the economy and they're in full support of president trump just looking at teamsters for instance and more than 60% of their members indicating they're going to support president trump in this next election. auto workers know that president trump is going to be their champion and he did more for the mesh industry in his first term than any president in american history and he got us out of the disastrous keel that were biden obama keels and american auto deals she has a build it in china plan with the mass i have capital gains tax and tax on unrealized captain gains and electric vehicle mandate forcing 67% of all cars and trucks manufactured to be electric. that's iambist to chaima and a slap in the f

stellantis says the uaw has violated terms of a contract signed last year, and the lawsuit they filedme damages in case the production is paused. this dispute is ongoing because there are some concerns as some investments said they would put a plan in the contract that it passed last year and delay some of their investments. that's caused some grievanceses bety union. that's why they requestioned to potentially strike. this is the latest in an ongoing dispute and escalation. >> charlotte reed of cnbc. thank you. >>> next up, we'll turn back to the rising tensions in the middle east, this on the anniversary of the october 7th terror attacks. we'll also play a few of donald trump's comments on the iran attack on israel and the reaction he thinks israel should take in response. that's next on "way too early." power e*trade's award-winning trading app makes trading easier. with its customizable options chain, easy-to-use tools and paper trading to help sharpen your skills, you can stay on top of the market from wherever you are. e*trade from morgan stanley power e*trade's easy to-use tool

yesterday she spoke at uaw rally a unitat united auto workers rad lansing, michigan spent time talkinge's quickly into donald trump i would imagine the rest of her speech will be to tell the crowd how bad he is. >> the last minute we have remaining here to issues that are always top of mind for voters. one is the economy would you say that you and your family are better off financially than you were four years ago, 52% of americans say no. they are not better off than they were four years ago. that does not bode well for the woman who has been number two in the administration who you trust to do better job on immigration 57% said donald trump. >> is a k her killer now which f the harris campaign. they point to the unique nature of this race. one of the candidates, the challenger has been president of the united states before. that is not happened in anyone's living memory. people can look back on the trump years and make their decision based on how they felt about them versus how they feel about joe biden and kamala harris. thirty-six byron york thanks. >> thank you jon to thank you fo

labor in the country in the last few years, in some cases being the portable striking workers like the uawing avoid some strikes like the teamsters at u.p.s. and in some cases trying to find agreement like the dockworkers. what is happening here? why is kamala harris not seeming to fully benefit from unions of work? >> well, let me just say this -- and i don't know i completely agree with the premise within 24 hours after president biden to the courageous thing and stepped out of the race, we held a meeting of our executive council of the afl-cio. the afl-cio is a labor representation of 60 labor unions throughout this country with a combined total of 12.5 million members. and within 24 hours after president biden stepped out of the race, our president convened a meeting of our executive council and, you know, 99% of those present unanimously supported kamala harris for president. and since then, we have been working the ground. we have the largest ground game we have ever had in the his three of the afl-cio, and we are in a very unique situation. i mean, because our process is something t

in fact, the uaw was there recently protesting this.o, it made modest tinkering, but the fundamental structure of it and the fundamental way in which it was drafted heavily influenced by corporate lobbyists, remain the same. anyway, thank you for your call, fred. host: dan, something you spoke about, the fact that former president clinton did really have to sell this to democrats. it was a close vote, looking at the c-span website there is an excerpt of the 11th hour debate they had on before they eventually passed nafta, and so other oppositions to it. one of it was ross perot, an independent presidential candidate. we have a clip of him from the second presidential debate in 1992. we will play at and i will talk about it on the other site. mr. perrault: we have to stop sending jobs overseas. for you in the audience who are business people, pretty simple. if you are paying $14 an hour to factory workers and you can move your factory south of the border, pay a dollar an hour for labor, have no health care -- that is the most expensive s

have been to my coworkers in the uaw and more and more about it there understanding this. the president is right in the mayor is right. i've worked with a lot of air arab-americans, muslims, trump and 4. a lot came from this community, dearborn heights. hardworking people, family people. >> continue to monitor this taking you to waterford, michigan. rich is following team harris and what they are doing the exact same state. to my friend. >> you've got 3 stops in michigan today for vice president kamala harris. this is after 3 stops in wisconsin yesterday. these are states democrats won for the bulk of a generation and no polls show a very tight race between harris and former president trump. she just finished grand rapids and is on her way to lansing. in grand rapids she was on stage with 6 democrat governors including michigan governor gretchen whitmer 20 years of wisconsin and pennsylvania's josh shapiro. the vice president ripped her opponent for cancelling events because he was reportedly exhausted that is something for the former president 9. harris also pitched autow

. >> thank you leadership of uaw six 651. >> and all leaders who are here this admin, this we got thousands are leaders who are here laborers april starting with the governor whitmer was amazing senator peters, representative slotkin, who we will elect to the united johnson until the license days okay. >> we haven't been this to do. we guys win business to do all right? 32 days and we know we will do it tight race until the very end. this is going to be a very tight race until the very end we are the underdog and we know we have some hard work ahead. but here's the thing about us. we like hard work we will win we will win is about two very different visions for our nation. one focused on the past and hours, which is focused on the future we are fighting for a future where we tap into the ambitions and the aspirations of the american people. and build what i call an opportunity economy. so every american has an opportunity to own a home, build wealth, start a business we have small business owners in the house right to spend a minute on small businesses, so because let me tell you. so growin

. >> go va believes more than half of uaw members at his ford plant will vote trump. he says harris laughs too much and he can't take her seriously. >> so what is it you're the incumbent who wouldn't do anything different? or are you the underdog that wants change? >> and he says critics take trump to literally he does it for effect. >> i don't believe that trump really believes someone's eating cats and dogs. i don't believe that he's going to call the national guard out. and at gunpoint round up every migrant and for some across door border, i don't believe that for a second count, this early vote in wayne county for harris and count tell her in cohen as a democrat who long ago lost patience with ford co-workers who shrugged off trump's attacks on immigrants, on judges, on vote counts on critics. >> there's a lot of people that they just take the crazy with trump as it's baked in the cake. and we're just willing to ignore it, wears if we heard that out of our loved ones, we'd be like, okay, ground, it's time to take your keys rincon just retired from the wayne assem
