Was that the Immaculate Commendation that just happened to happen . It said donald trump awards spouting this combination. I thought it was really pathetic to sit there and listen to that dribble, it is totally false. Immaculate commendation. Thats when it does not roll off the tongue, thank you for joining us tonight, prime time with Abby Phillips starts right now, i dont think that would ever be what was said in the middle of this 2024 race. Gloves are apparently really off between those two, well see where this one goes, thank you, katelyn. Good evening, im abby philip, we begin with Breaking News that will have a massive impact on the entire United States economy. In less than two hours, workers across the nation are scheduled to go on strike against the Big Three Automakers. It is the first ever simultaneous strike of ford, General Motors and stolantis in moments we are expecting to hear from the president of the United Auto Workers union about the next steps. Here is what is at stake for you, 145 union members, and an Economic Impact of 5 billion. The union is demanding nearly 40 pay increases, better benefits, and a four day work week. Among the players in this saga is sean fain, the uaw president who has been pretty unpredictable in talks so far, and also the ceos of these companies who say that the demands will put them out of business. Also, there, is the president himself, President Biden, under pressure economically and politically tonight. First, lets start with cnn business correspondent, who is live from outside of the uaw headquarters in detroit. Vanessa, less than two hours until this contract is expected to expire. Where do things stand in these negotiations right now . Listen, abby, deals have come together in the last moments, but two hours is not a lot of time to come to an agreement. As you mentioned, we are waiting moments away from uaw president shawn fain to announce exactly where the uaw plans to strike, starting at 12 00 a. M. On friday, tomorrow. Hes going to go live from inside this uaw headquarters. In terms of what the offers have been, General Motors came with a new economic proposal earlier this morning, a 20 pay raise across four years that matches fords a 20 offer, and stellantis was at 17 1 2 in their last public offer. As you mentioned, that is nowhere close to the 40 that the union has been looking for since day one. What we expect to hear from shawn fain is that they are going to target select plants by activating select unions across the country. That is by design, to keep the Companies Guessing so that they have to try to figure out who is going on strike, who is not, that leaves some workers still in the plants, working. It is very unclear, because there will be no contract, what will happen to those workers. Ford ceo earlier telling me that those workers will likely not be paid. In moments we will hear more about this rollout plan as there are two hours until this very critical deadline. Vanessa, about that 40 pay increase that the unions are asking for, you spoke with the ford ceo, jim farley, about this earlier today. Tell us what he had to say. The union is tying this 40 pay increase to what they say the ceos of these big three have made in increases over the last four years. I will point out that ford says that jim farley is only received a 21 pay raise, and that is very close to what they are offering workers, but ultimately, he says a 40 pay raise for workers is out of the question, its untenable, heres more of what he told me earlier. 40 will put us out of business. We would lose 15 billion. We would have to cut people, close plants, whats the good of that . Its not a sustainable business. Theres a fine line, here, that we wont go past, which is, we want everyone to participate in our success, but if it prevents us from investing in this transition to evs and future products, like the ones we have now like new f150, best selling vehicle in the u. S. , then everyones jobs at risk if we dont invest. Reporter i spoke to jim farley two days ago, he was very optimistic that ford could reach a deal with the uaw and avert a strike, but as the days went on, you could see him becoming less and less certain that that would happen. Of course, abby, two hours to go, the clock is ticking, we have seen deals come together in the final moments, but as it stands now, at 12 00 midnight, we could expect thousands of uaw workers to head out to the picket lines, and that will cause disruptions in the auto industry, and beyond in the whole economy in the u. S. Abby . Very much a significant night tonight. Vanessa, we are standing by for this announcement. I know that you are, too, we will get back to you as soon as it happens. Up next, a uaw member, charles wade, who is at a Ford Assembly line in michigan. Charles, can you tell us, what are you and your colleagues feeling tonight ahead of the possibility of this historic strike . Anxious and ready to create a new standard for the american worker. You talk about a new standard, is this what this is about for you . Its about the quality of life, and charles, im sorry, uaw chief shawn fain is speaking right now. Ford, General Motors, and stellantis. The first time in our unions history, we had all three Companies Bargaining right here, at the solidarity house. Leading into the final hours of our strike deadline. Weve been working hard, trying to reach a deal for economic and Social Justice for our members. We have been firm. We are committed to winning an agreement with the big three that reflects the incredible sacrifice and contributions uaw members have made to these companies. Weve been open. The companies, the members, and the public know what weve been fighting for, and weve been clear. Midnight on the evening of September 14th is a deadline. Uaw family, that deadline is nearly here. Tonight, for the first time in our history, we will strike, all three of the big three at once. We are using a new strategy, The Stand Up Strike. We will call on selected facilities, locals, or units to stand up and go on strike. Tonight, we call on three units to stand up and go on strike at midnight, if we do not reach a tentative agreement in the next two hours. Were calling on gm, wentzville assembly, local 2250 in region four, to stand up and strike. Were calling on stellantis, Toledo Assembly complex, local 12, in region 2b to stand up and strike. And were calling on ford, Michigan Assembly plant, final assembly and paint only, local 900 in region 1a to stand up and strike. These three units are being called to stand up and walk out on strike at midnight tonight. The locals that are not yet called to join The Stand Up Strike will continue working under an expired agreement. No contract extensions. Though the contract is expired, most of your contract is still in effect. Management cannot change terms and conditions of work in your workplace. You do not become an employee at will. You cannot be fired or disciplined for no reason. This strategy will keep the Companies Guessing. It will give our National Negotiators maximum leverage and flexibility in bargaining. And if we need to go all out, we will. Everything is on the table. I encourage you to visit uaw. Org stand up for everything you need to know about working under an expired contract. No matter what, all of us need to keep organizing. Rallies, protests, redshirt days, and community events. We must show the companies you are ready to join The Stand Up Strike at a moments notice. And we must show the world that our fight is a righteous fight. Again, tonight, at midnight, gm wentzville assembly, local 2250 in region four, stellantis, toledo is only complex, local 12, region 2b, and ford Michigan Assembly plant, final assembly and paint only, local 900 region 1a, will stand up and walk out on strike. The rest of us will keep organizing and support them on the picket line. If we strike tonight, ill see you on the picket line at michigan is assembly at midnight. Tomorrow, well be holding a mass rally at the Uaw Ford Joint Trust Building in downtown detroit, at 4 00 p. M. We will show our strength and unity on the first day of this historic action. All options remain on the table. National leadership will determine the appropriate targets and timing for further stand up Strike Action. This is our generations defining moment. The money is there, the cause is righteous, the world is watching. The uaw is ready to stand up. This is our defining moment. Thank you. You were just listening, there, to shawn fain, the president of the United Auto Workers. He just made a very important announcement that at midnight, if there is no deal, which there is not yet, he has called on three plants to go on strike. Striking three of the Big Three Automakers all at once, he says everything is on the table, and they will use these strikes to gain maximum leverage against these automakers. I want to go back, now, to charles wade. Charles, youre at uaw worker, who was, who works at one of the plants that shawn fain just mentioned, correct . So, you plan to go on strike after midnight if there is no deal . I plan on going to join them as soon as it starts, at 6 00 a. M. Ill be shuttling people to make sure they get out there, membership to the line. To hold the line for the strike line. Were going to be out there picketing until we get a tentative agreement, for sure. Were ready. I noticed that he said this is a generational fight. Thats how he views it. Do you view it that way . What did you make of what he had to say along with the announcement of the strike . Absolutely. Like i said, were trying to make a new standard, and its for the future. Its for my children, its to make this a job thats a career, not a job. When i hired and it was a career, it made me feel as though i was proud to build a car and be able to afford one, that i built. Now, 70 at at these plants cant afford a vehicle that they built, theyre buying foreign vehicles because they cant afford an american, the vehicle that they built. When he says everything is on the table, how long do you think this can go on . Are you willing to strike for weeks, months, longer . Im willing to strike until we get something thats equable and fair for everybody in the uaw. The retirees, the new hires, we need to pop up the hire and pay from 16 to a livable wage thats not creating families that are struggling. I am a legacy that has a pension, lets get pensions in their and get these these new hires something to look forward to. Lets support our retirees. Do you have a sense of how this strike, three separate plants in different parts of the country, each impacting one of the different automakers, how will that affect the everyday person . Give us a sense of what this means for the production of a car, that an american might be driving at home. Throughout history, every time the uaw has went on strike against the big three, anything that weve had significant gains on, it affects the whole United States, the nation, in positive ways. If our pay goes up, we spend more, were consumers, were the middle class. Somewhere along the line, we got forgot about, and now were just upper poor. If you dont get the middle class back, were just going to have a stagnant economy. The more money you give us, the more we spend, the more we are more likely to be able to afford and buy one of the cars. Earlier today the ford ceo that a 40 increase over four years for auto workers would bankrupt his company. Whats your reaction to that . He is wrong. That at the same time, i can see where hes coming from in a Strategic Point of view. But were only 6 of the cost of vehicle. If thats the case, tell them to stop gouging the consumers that arent the workers at 30 more on each vehicle tag gouge up, they upped the price 30 on all their vehicles. All right, charles wade, thank you very much, good luck to you, well be following this story, its very important for us. Tiktok, thank you. I want to bring in democratic covers many from michigan, congressman, thanks for being here. You just heard that announcement from shawn fain, at the uaw, what you make of what he said tonight . I stand with the workers of the uaw. These are my constituents, Tens Of Thousands of these people are people that i work for. Look, they are fighting for the future. A couple of generations ago, here in my hometown of flint, the workers staged a sitdown strike, it gets poetic that this is referred to as a stand up strike. Back then, the workers occupied the factories and got the first uaw contract, and as the previous guest said, that led to the creation of the middle class in the United States of america. Whats happened in the last couple of decades, much of what was gained was lost, and the workers that were talking about, actually made concessions in order to keep the American Auto industry alive when it was challenged a decade or so ago. So, this negotiation is really about getting back to that principal that says that if you work hard, if you work for one of these countries companies, a highly successful, highly profitable company, that the workers ought to share in the incredible wealth that their productive hands generate. Thats with this negotiation is about, and if it does result in a strike, thats what the strike will be focused on. President biden, leading up to this, has spoken to the uaw president. Hes spoken to the autoworkers, yet here we are, at quite literally the 11th hour, theres no deal. President biden said he didnt even think strike was going to happen. Why are we at this point right now . And do you think President Biden and the white house could have done more . I know the president has been engaged on this, gene sperling, who is part of the president s team, i talked to jean on a regular basis, hes been tasked to monitor this. Hes the most prounion president that weve had, certainly in my lifetime. I think he knows that this is important. But, the negotiations between workers, United Auto Workers, and the companys, the federal government is not a party to a contract. He can encourage, we can provide support, but at the end of the day it really comes down to the workers and their representatives in uaw sitting across the table from the companys, and coming to an agreement. They havent gotten there yet, because they started out pretty far apart. But, theres been progress. While obviously we all want to avoid a strike, what we dont want to do is forgo the opportunity to build a much stronger future for those uaw families. Thats whats at stake at the Bargaining Table right now. Everything that they can gain as the previous guest from ford said, everything that they gain goes right into the u. S. Economy. In the short term, this is challenging, its difficult. In the longterm, whatever theyre able to generate, whatever theyre able to get at the Bargaining Table, will benefit not just autoworkers, it will benefit workers in all these communities where the autoworkers salaries is what keeps the economy alive. Congressman, thank you very much. Thank you. More on this Breaking News and what to expect in the economy tomorrow, and in the weeks to come. Plus, hunter biden is now the first child of a sitting president to be indicted as he faces gun charges tonight. Why his lawyer now is blaming mega republicans. And attentions are flaring on capitol hill as speaker Kevin Mccarty fights to save his job. [announcer] finance your next car with carvana today. Tonight, hunter biden is the first child of a sitting u. S. President to be indicted. Federal prosecutors charging him with three Felony Gun Counts which include illegal possession, lying to a gun dealer, and making a false claim on a firearm application. It is a rather stunning turn of events after his original plea deal collapsed. Heres what his lawyer said tonight on cnn. It is the folks like Chairman Comber and the republican Maggot Crazies who have been pressuring the u. S. Attorney to do something to vindicate their political position and, guess what, they succeeded. Hunter owned an unloaded gun for 11 days. There will never have been a charge like this brought in the United States. If this does get to a trial, its quite possible it would be in the middle of his fathers reelection campaign. Lets keep in mind that the charges contradict joe bidens defense over the years. This is not about me, its not about my son. Theres not a shred of evidence that anything was done wrong. No one, no one has asserted my son did a single thing wrong. No one has asserted that i have done anything wrong except lying president. My son did Nothing Wrong, and, lets get something straight, my son did Nothing Wrong or illegal. Lets talk about what trump did and what hes doing. First of all, my son has done Nothing Wrong. Lets discuss this with cnn legal white house ethics, also it is Vice President of domestic policy at the Heritage Foundation and former Doj Civil Rights attorney Roger Sarah Vino and cnn senior political analyst, i want to start with you, on the subsistence of these charges. Its really part of the story, here, because the doj declined to go here at first, then they settled on these gun charges that are already on shaky legal ground in another jurisdiction. Where does this end . I think its going to end in at least one of the gun charges being thrown out on constitutional grounds. The Supreme Court has said that you have to read the Second Amendment the way it was written at the time that the constitution was adopted. You look at Gun Regulation in terms of what was permitted or forbidden, then, another circuit has indeed just found that these identical charges are unconstitutional, because there was no limit for drug or Substance Abuse on Gun Ownership at the time of the adoption of the constitution, and in this circuit, in the Third Circuit, in the range case, the Third Circuit has said a closely analogous provision, almost identical for former felons, unconstitutional. So, i think thats going to fail. This was the subject of a Diversion Agreement because its a weak case, one of americas best trial lawyers, the government is going to have a real fight on their hands, and i think my friend, roger, we dont often agree on things but he probably agrees on my Second Amendment. Can i just say how the tables have turned, here. Right . It is quite the irony, you have the defenders of President Biden, president gun control, now standing up for the Second Amendment to get hunter biden off the hook. This is the extreme irony. Do you think to what norm is saying, that this is a weak charge . Because this gun statute is being challenged . No, i think its a strong case, in fact. The law is clear, you cant lie on a federal form. Thats one of the charges, and he lied on a federal torn form. Thats not a constitutional issue. He said he was not addicted to drugs when hes a notorious drug abuser. That is common knowledge. Even very strong Second Amendment proponents have real issues with handing a gun to a known, open in this case, crack addict. There are some reasonable limits. But let me just say, im not a lawyer, but these things are normally not charged the way this was charged. That hunter biden, whatever you think of him, was not a felon using the weapon in a terrible way. And also had no prior convictions. No prior convictions. Exactly. Thats sentencing, how severe the punishment is going to be. Its a question of whether any other person, weve had a parade of lawyers on cnn today, basically saying they personally have never heard of anyone being charged. If you look at the statistics, for example, in 2019, there were only three referrals of these kinds of charges in delaware. You know how many were actually referred to the u. S. Attorney . How many were actually prosecuted . Zero. This is a disproportionate treatment, precisely because he bears the name biden. In a normal universe, this would never be charged. Ive resented people including on Weapons Charges for 30 years. This case would never be charged if his name were not barred by. Hes not being charged on a real issue, here. The dog that did not bark are the tax charges. I think this is actually a smokescreen. Because the plea deal fell apart, it was a sweetheart deal, unusual that the judge spoke out and said, i have some hard questions to ask. The plea deal fell apart because there was going to be immunity for the real charges that should be brought related to the tax evasion. We know hes received millions, hunter biden, and we dont know if President Biden received any of that money in some sort of an influence operation. Im glad you said we dont know, because thats the truth. Theres no evidence that hes received money. But they were prevented from asking those questions. But there is no evidence, i agree with you, and i spoke to a senior white house Adviser Today and basically, while theyre not saying this out loud, they believe that if his name were john doe, he would never have been charged. And i think it is ironic that republicans are talking about the weaponization of the Justice Department, and now you hear democrats saying, wait a minute, why was this charged . This could be the weaponization of the Justice Department in the special counsel, and you heard abby lowell talk about the fact that this was influenced by politics. So, now, the democrats are talking about a Justice Department that really overreached, here, and you have the republicans talking about a Justice Department that doesnt do its job or his weapon eyes against republicans. At the end of the day, this has been going on for five years. The most weve gotten out of this in terms of charges, has been a gun charge that, honestly, is probably week at the end of the day. How much longer does this have to go on for republicans to be satisfied . Its been investigated under the Trump Administration, its been investigated under the biden administration, where does this end . The mac when the doj stops politicizing this issue. How can they prove that theyre not politicizing it when it was a republican investigating it, they didnt bring charges, a democrat, they didnt bring charges. So we have two irs whistleblowers who have said that they were hamstrung. They were not able to, for example, issue a warrant to get documents because they were in President Bidens house. They were ordered from the top to not do that. When the whistleblowers was removed from the position, you have two folks who have gone to congress, they are heroes because theyre exposing that they were interfered with, corruption of hunter biden to protect corruption at a higher level. Thats what this looks like. Thats not accurate. David weiss, the u. S. Attorney in delaware who has denied that strongly and in writing to congress is a trump appointed u. S. Attorney. A senior fbi supervisor has rebutted parts of that account, and when you talk about, i looked at that, in the first trump impeachment we concluded there was nothing improper as to joe biden, and, 5 1 2 years of looking, they have not traced a single penny. They got thousands of documents, this congress has been looking. I think that both congress and those who are pressing these false charges against the president , there has to be an end at some point. It is so unfair, and now his son is being punished for it. Its wrong across the board. Let me just say that there is a perception, here, it may not be reality, that, the questions are being asked, why was hunter biden doing all this for and work while his father was Vice President of the United States . Thats a legitimate question to ask. Personally, i believe that people, if you have somebody in that high and office, you want to be limiting your foreign lobbying. So, thats a legitimate question. But, taking it beyond that and saying that joe biden was involved in his sons Business Other than a few phone calls in which he may have exchanged pleasantries, and they havent gotten beyond that, he showed up at a dinner. And what was discussed at the dinner . These are the questions theyve been looking at. Why was the president at a dinner with his son with Ukrainian Business dealings when he was getting 1 million a year to advise his company which President Biden when he was Vice President moved to remove the prosecutor that was investigating the company that hunter biden was a board member of. The prosecutor that both democrats and republicans agreed at the time was not prosecuting corruption. [ inaudible ] weve got to go. Weve got to go here, but at the end of the day, whats missing, for you, was missing for me, whats missing for all of us is evidence of joe biden profiting off of anything that hunter biden did. We dont have that evidence and until we do, were going to keep discussing it, thank you all very much. Coming up next, anger and swearing erupting between republicans in the house as Kevin Mccarthy tries to hold off his critics, and to hold onto his job. And if it takes a fight, hell have a fight. Plus, the big admission from donald trump about how he considered pardoning himself in office. Jim acosta joined me, next. Im gonna walk you through everything i eat in a day. Not today, sis.

Capitol hill is getting a little saltier than usual today. Tempers flared and f bombs flew as Speaker Mccarthy goes to war to keep his job. In a heated closeddoor meeting with house republicans, multiple sources in the room tell us that mccarthy grew frustrated over the threats against him. The speaker then said, quote, move the epping motion. Hes been facing recent threats from Gop Hardliners including the florida congressman matt gates, whose threatening called for a motion on the house floor to vacate mccarthy as speaker. Following that meeting report is pressed mccarthy on the risk of losing the gavel. Threats dont matter. Sometimes people do those things because of personal things and thats fine. I dont walk away from a battle, i knew changing washington would not be easy, i knew people would fight or try to hold the bridge for other things. Im going to try to focus on was the right thing to do for the american people. And if it takes a fight, hell have a fight. Not long after that, congressman gates weighed in himself. Im concerned for the speaker that he seems to be rattled and unhinged at a time when we need focus and strong effort. Whether or not mccarthy faces a motion to vacate is within his own hands. All he has to do is come into compliance with the deal we made in january. Joining us now, cnn anchor jim acosta. Jim, there is so many interesting things about that. The Body Language is fascinating between mccarthy and gaetz. Mccarthy seems that up, and gaetz seems to, as we asked him about earlier this week throwing out these threats that he really cannot substantiate. What do you think . Is Kevin Mccarthy at risk of losing the gavel, here . He doesnt have a lot of job security right now. I talked to a republican source who is close to members on capitol hill, who said a lot of these more moderate members in the gop conference think that a lot of these hardliners are just blowing hot air. The problem is it just takes one of these members, part of the concessions that Kevin Mccarthy made to become speaker, it takes one of those members to begin the process to remove the speaker. Is not in very good shape right now. The other dynamics at play, here, one is that the hardliners have the support of the former president , donald trump, they can keep pushing knowing that Kevin Mccarthy is going to bend to Donald Trumps will. The other thing playing out on capitol hill these days is that a lot of these hardliners in the Republican Party arent that worried about losing their seat, they feel like they can do whatever they want right now. Very much so. The other thing that happened, you mentioned megyn kelly sat down with trump this week and she asked him about the Impeachment Inquiry. This is one of the issues thats facing mccarthy, the Impeachment Inquiry into President Biden, listen to what he said. They did it to me, and had they not done it to me, i think, nobody officially said this, but i think had they not done it to me, and im very popular, they like me and i like them, the Republican Party. Perhaps you wouldnt have it being done to them. Its cliche at this point, but saying the quiet part out loud . Absolutely. Lets be clear about this, donald trump is the de facto speaker right now. Donald trump wanted Impeachment Inquiry . He gets an Impeachment Inquiry. He may want a Government Shutdown by the end of this month, and he may get a Government Shutdown because the members of this republican conference are listening to donald trump and not Kevin Mccarthy. Kevin mccarthy is following in the footsteps of two previous republican speakers, paul ryan and john weiner. Both of those gentlemen, as you know, dealt with difficult members of the Freedom Caucus and other hardliners of the republican conference, two big differences. One is, there wasnt a former President Donald Trump back then, the other is, Kevin Mccarthy is not as politically skilled. Thats a problem. But they still paid for it with their jobs. At the end of the day. And it was Kevin Mccarthy who resuscitated trumps medical career, and lets not forget that. Mccarthy has himself to blame. The other thing he was asked about this week in a different interview was about what he would have done, whether he would have pardoned himself, in those last days of his presidency. Listen to this. I could have pardoned myself when i left, people said would you like to pardon yourself . I had a couple of attorneys who said, you can do it if you want. I had some people that said, it would look bad if you do it, i think it would look terrible. I said, heres the story. These people are thugs, horrible people, fascist, marxists, sick people. Theyve been after me from the day i came down the escalator with melania, and i did a great job as president , people, great economy, great jobs, rebuild the military, space force, i could go on forever. Let me just tell you, i said the last thing id ever do is give myself a pardon. So you know a lot of people in trump world. I think some of this has been out there, the conversations, but, what have you heard about whether this was really on the table . And, gosh, if youre thinking about pardoning yourself, doesnt that suggest that you think you did something illegal . Certainly. I went back and looked at what we were reporting in the weeks after the November 2020 election. I reported in early december that donald trump and his advisers were talking about not only a self pardon for himself, but for pardons for his family. We were talking about a flurry of pardons in those days and those advisers inside and outside were telling him he could do it. I heard a story from one trump adviser who was saying, perhaps, the president could resign from office, and put and then mike pence would do the pardoning. Of course, mike pence and Donald Trumps werent on Speaking Terms back then, but, the big show in their Publican Party right now, there isnt anybody inside the gop right now who is willing to stop donald trump. If you listen to the rest of that interview, hes talking about how he could continue to declassify documents, despite the fact that he obviously cant declassify documents by looking at them, but hes under the impression and keeps saying that he can declassify documents. Hes talking about Vladimir Putin being a person who is judging the political and judicial process is underway in the United States, with trump being indicted in these different cases, looking to Vladimir Putin for validation. Just goes to show you that inside the Republican Party right now, donald trump answers to nobody. Hes almost like pooping in that regard. He seems very comfortable saying pretty much anything. No one bats an eye, and voters seem to be completely unfazed by it all. Hes leading by a long way in this republican field right now. No question about it. As i used to say when he was president , for as dishonest as he is, he can be remarkably candid. Hes being very candid in these interviews. Is showing, as he did when he was president , that hes going to be corrupt, hes going to be lawless at times, and he doesnt have much regard for the constitution. Thanks for being here, its important, just because he says it doesnt mean that its not significant. Its important to note these things. Absolutely. You have to wonder when the party is going to step in and try to do something about it. When i talked my republican sources they know theyre running out of time to stop him getting that domination. Thanks so much, you can catch jims show this weekend on saturday, and on sunday, dont miss it. Youre more now on our Breaking News, we are now just an hour and a half away from a Potential Autoworker Strike that could have devastating economic consequences all across the country. With me now is gina, the New York Times reporter, and mark zandi, Chief Economist at moodys. I want to start with you, when we look at the potential of an Economic Impact, could be days, could be weeks, could be months of a strike, could this push the economy ultimately toward a recession . Theres lots of different scenarios, a lot depends on how disruptive the strike is, and of course, how long it goes on for. If its for a few weeks, a month, maybe two, probably not. I think the economy is resilient enough to digest that. But of course if it extended through the remainder of the year, then the economy would be really in trouble. Of course, the economy is struggling with other things, we have Student Loan Payments that are going to resume, a potential Government Shutdown, higher Interest Rates and most recently, the surge in oil prices and higher Gasoline Prices is starting to hurt as well. Theres a lot of headwinds, this is just one more. If it extends through the remainder of the quarter, the remainder of the year, the odds of recession will arise significantly. Gina, we just heard the new head of the uaw, shawn fain, hes not a man afraid to speak his mind. Take a listen to some of what he had to say. The talking heads, the pundits, Companies Want to say that if we strike it correctly economy. Its not that were going to wreck the economy. Were going to wreck their economy, the economy that only works for the billionaire class. It doesnt work for the working class. Hes talking about this gap that we all know about, between the ceos and their workers, between the rich and the poor. This is the story of this economy this year, it seems. And we have really seen very clearly workers trying to take back a lot of power in this economy. This is not the first Strike Action were seeing, weve seen a big uptick in Collection Actin this year, this is the latest part of the story We Saw With Hollywood writers, with a lot of news outlets, this has been a common theme this summer. And i think that its interesting that theyre couching this in terms of inflation, woodworkers have lost, what theyre trying to regain, but also in terms of profits and the idea that ceos are making so much that we need to even out the Playing Field a little bit. Mark, last question to you, according to data from the auto website, edmunds. Com, the average cost of a new car is 48,000, 48,000. Thats a huge amount of money. That is up nearly 12,000 from what it was just five years ago. These Car Companies are making a lot of money. Why cant they pay their workers a lot more . I think theyll make pay their workers more, its a negotiation. There needs to be compromise on both sides to get this done. I would be surprised if we dont see that happening. But they have to come to the middle and well figure it out. The Car Companies are doing well, and i think workers should share in that success. Ultimately that will happen. To ginas point, the labor market is very tight, theres a lot of unfilled job positions, people have been quitting their jobs. This is a time when i think we will see that rebalancing between the Negotiating Power between workers and their employers. Weve been talking a lot about soft landings, here. Whats the word among the folks that you talk to about whether this will have an impact on this broader picture . I think it could go both ways. Were seeing data that suggests that consumers are resilient, the labor market is slowing down but its doing so in this moderate, modest way, but then as mark alluded to, weve got Student Loans restarting in october, a higher interest rate, there is a lot happening right now that could derail the recovery and so i think youve got to keep your eye on these risks and say that they are small individually, but are they going to add up some to Something Big in aggregate . For the biden administration, you know, they are navigating these tricky waters, too. This is probably a moment where theyre staying up a little bit late tonight to see if they can work this out. Gina and mark thank you both for joining, us will be keeping an eye on the story. Coming up next for us, daniel dale with factcheck of Donald Trumps interview with meghan kelly, including one claim that one of his rivals is now marking. Is this the immaculate .

Bye, uncle limu. Stay off the freeways only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Don trump has been in quite a talkative mood, giving two interviews and a lot of bogus claims and process. Cnns Senior Reporter daniel dale is here with a fact check. So, daniel, lets listen to one of these bogus claims. I dont know who gave him accommodation, i really dont know who give them somebody probably handed him accommodation. I overrode many of the things he did, he was much less important to me. Who could have done it . It doesnt take a hard boiled detective to figure out who gave a president ial accommodation to anthony fauci. It was don trump because we know this because the Trump White House post on their website saying trump awards such and such accommodations to dozens of people involved in the operation warp speed. Of course president s are, busy is busy at the time trying to overturn the election, thats not sarcasm its what hes trying to do. I spoke today to former Trump Administration communication actors who both said they do not think anything like this would ever be awarded without his knowledge and consent. Alyssa Farah Griffin is a cnn political commentator is said that this kind of accommodation would or acquire president ial sign off. She doesnt know how closely trump wouldve looked at this before he signed it, but for him to claim that he had nothing to do with it is patently absurd. Not for nothing, the backlash against fauci at that time was well underway. Danielle, spring this interview, trump claimed on a separate topic that he never had an Impeachment Inquiry. He did. He did claim that, and he did have an Impeachment Inquiry. So lets listen to what he had to say on that subject. That is up to them, if they want to do impeachment or Impeachment Inquiry. I never had an inquiry, nancy pelosi, crazy nancy said we are going to impeach him. They didnt, they went out and devoted. So there was an Impeachment Inquiry. That house speaker, nancy pelosi announced in 2019 over trumps efforts to pressure the president of ukraine to investigate ascend political rival joe biden. This is very public, you may remember a televised hearing after televised hearing, that was part of the Impeachment Inquiry at the and the democrats in the house released a three and a page for port. Trump critics merkley said that there is no inquiry there second time he is impeached in 2021, that impeachment was based on his public statements in his speech on january 6th that did not feel like they needed a lot of investigating, but for him to claim there was never an inquiry, and democrats always just rushed to Impeachment Vote on him is not true. To be fair, when you are impeached twice sometimes it is hard to figure out which one is which. Youve got to keep them straight, it could be a challenge. It could be a challenge. But thats why we have you here. Thank you daniel, we appreciate it. Coming up next we have more on our Breaking News out of detroit.
