Gulf coast ports shut down. That was going to be disastrous. President biden helped get that thing fixed fast. They have agreed, tentatively, to a 62% increase in wages over the next six years. The first offer that the union turned down, to show you how far apart this was, was 40%. That is where this began, so the pressure that the union put on related work and of course the port companies, they were hoping that president biden would feel the pressure of this and just order a tafthartley return to work by that union to get through the election and you can imagine how the company s thought the president will have to do this because this will be so difficult for the harris campaign, but the president kept the administration pushing both sides to an agreement. At 5:30 you can imagine how this was at the white house. The white house chief of staff is on zoom. Pete buttigieg and others in the administration, with both sides forcing them to get together and so both sides understood that it l

Vance is a big liar with abandon. Those are three of my many takeaways of your show that i just watched. Those are some good topline. Better than chatgpt could do. Yes, very good. Well, i was actually watching. Have a great night, chris. Thank you so much. Thanks, jen. So, this is the little, white schoolhouse in ripken, wisconsin. That is literally it s name which is so quaint. The little white schoolhouse. It was built over 170 years ago, back in 1853. That unassuming little gable roofed building that you see right there is still there today, still standing there today, because in 1854 just one year after the little white schoolhouse was built a group of people got together in that little white schoolhouse, and came up with an idea that would end up changing the course of history, in many ways. At least, political history. At the time, america was hotly divided over the question of state slavery in the newly established kansas and nebraska territories. The people who met in that buil

[ applause ] vice president harris has dedicated her life to public service. I know, i know that she loves our country. And i know that she will be a president for all americans. As a conservative, as a patriot, as a mother, as someone who reveres our constitution, i am honored to join her in this urgent cause. And there you have it. The democrats doing their coalition building with maybe the most unlikely pairing in recent history. Vice president kamala harris and liz cheney, even dick cheney, father of liz cheney, the man still vilified by democrats for his bullish defense of the iraq war as vice president. He, too, will vote for kamala harris. Meaning liz cheney, dick cheney, and aoc are all voting for the same presidential candidate. These are bizarre times, folks, just to say the least. But maybe just maybe this is the avenger style coalition needed to defeat the american thanos that is donald trump. Joining me now is jelani cobb, staff writer for the new yorker and dean of the co
