The possibility of issuing himself a pardon. Good morning and welcome to Way Too Early on this friday, september 15th. Im jonathan lemire. Thanks for starting your day with us. And well begin this morning with Tens Of Thousands of United Auto Workers hitting the picket lines. The union officially went on strike against detroits big three auto makers at midnight. Nearly 13,000 members walked out of three plants in missouri, ohio, and in michigan. The strike is against general motors, ford, and stellantis. The union and the companies failed to reach a deal on a new collective Bargaining Agreement before the current contract expired at the stroke of 12 00. 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 select facilities, locals, or units to stand up and go on strike. This strategy will keep the companies guessing. It will give our National Negotiators maximum leverage and flexib
Y. Auto workers are on strike against the big three. 12,700 members who will be walking out. I dont know how im going to survive, but im going to do it. Theres a fine line here that we wont go past. Shame on them. What theyre saying is complete bs. Three federal gun charges. It is the first criminal prosecution of a president s child in history. The prospect remains that this is not the end of these charges for hunter biden. The constitutionality of these charges are very much in doubt. Donald trump will not be in trial in october in georgia but two of his codefendants will be. What did i do wrong . I didnt do anything wrong. That gives him a preview of what the evidence will be. Its a big win. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to cnn this morning. Were glad youre here. That was a packed first hour. And theres so much breaking news, including several things that you and i are both deeply fascinated with because of how important and consequential they are at this moment. And because of wh
Not only is the Biden Justice department prosecuting former President Donald Trump in two separate cases, it is now also prosecuting the sitting president s son, indicting hunter biden on three criminal charges, all in connection with a gun that he purchased in 2018. The charges include two counts of lying on an atf form to buy that gun, and possessing a firearm as a drug user. He allegedly lied about his drug use to buy a revolver in delaware, as he was struggling with Drug Addiction and alcohol abuse, and in and out of rehab, which he wrote about openly in his book. Hunter biden, his legal team, and really the whole white house had hoped this would be in the Rearview Mirror by now, but his plea deal collapsed over the summer in stunning fashion. And now tonight, his legal team is vowing to fight these new charges. This charge, brought today, violates the agreement the government made with hunter biden. That was a standalone agreement, different than his plea. Second, the constitution
First, Special Counsel david weiss, much criticized for his handling of the Hunter Biden Case, now kind of slips in under the wire here before the time runs out accusing the president s Son Of Illegal Gun Procurement given that he was on drugs at the time. These charges could hold a hefty maximum jail time, a first time offender. The max would be 25 years in jail. Hunters lawyers claim the agreement that could have kept him out of prison, they say it should still stand and no doubt they will continue to argue that. Weve got all of this Breaking News ahead. Were going to take to bill mcgurn of the Wall Street Journal, Andy Mccarthy is here and clay travis and Matt Whitaker. First to david spunt who has been Breaking News on this all afternoon. Lets go back to him for the latest. Good afternoon, martha. We knew this indictment was coming soon because Special Counsel david weiss office said in a filing a couple weeks ago they intended to indict before september 29. We didnt know it would
Displaced anger. Going to pay somewhere between 20 and 40 less than the other countries. Same exact that was directed toward the indictment. Predictably biden did steer clear of bidens legal troubles which took a marked turn to the worst today. Is he facing prison time Sweetheart Plea Deal actually collapsed. Is this all a smoke screen to hide the other crimes that involve others in the biden family . Joining me now is Sol Wisenberg former Deputy Independent Council and david schoen former trump impeachment lawyer. Okay, sol, i do kind of agree with what Vivek Ramaswamy we did thed out earlier that this seems a little bit like a smoke screen because is it bigger than the biden family, perhaps, being on the take with foreign governments and having our Foreign Policy affected by it . Probably not, but nevertheless real jail time a possibility, your reaction tonight . Real jail time is not much of a possibility, laura. Really in terms of weiss, is he dam damned if he does and damned if he
