greed of the billionaire class and trump and his friends. and former vice president joe biden spent his morning at a parade with labor workers and their families, reminding all of us about one of his historically favorite campaign lines, that he s just a scrappy kid from scranton. but he was quick to say the pittsburgh pit stop doesn t mean biden 2020 is a sure thing. what does this mean in terms of your political future here? it doesn t mean anything in my political future. i ve been with these guys my whole life. my grandfather said, joe i go anywhere with these guys. they brung me to the dapnce, as they say. rebecca, you asked the vice president an important question. what happened? that s right, dana. joe biden is now behind me.
of their trades, 30% of their oil, expelling all labor workers and scheduling that down, making sure all joint ventures stopped. all of that combined with the international community coming together and expelling diplomats and stopping communication and with the president s tough stance, all of that was really the combination that brought north korea to the table. now, north korea and the u.s. have started to have talks and as those things are happening, we in the security council of the international community have to support those talks and the best way we can support those talks is to not loosen the sanctions. and what we have been seeing is certain countries wanting to do waivers, certain countries saying let s lift sanctions, certain countries wanted to do
state, he talked the carrier situation, but in his own state, new york, there s a strike situation that s been going on over a hundred days. he s said nothing about the fact that he wants to be on the side of the workers. but he killed tpp. he wants to renegotiate nafta. that s music to the ears of many working class voters. but again, when you talk about prevailing wages, you talk about strength of labor in this country, he s done absolutely nothing. he actually attacked one of the labor workers, you remember this because you covered it, he attacked one of the labor workers at carrier instead of defending them. he s running a scam. and people need to know that he s running a scam. and you have the strong man routine that he has, and the act that he s putting on, maybe people were impressed by that. but what we re going to do in this caucus is show that it s about wages, it s about benefits, it s about health care. and president trump is absolutely not going to deliver anything on
joe? i mean, minimum wage i agree should be a state issue. if you are in idaho, it could be lower. if you re in new york, it should be $80 you re living in the city. i think it depends on what city. can i get on that minimum wage? in genuine onmembership has declined over the years and i think the reason a lot of these are more political fund raising units than worrying about their labor workers. and they re disguised as political units rather than actual unions. so what do you chalk up that disconnect to between the active union members and their bosses? bosses clearly supporting hillary clinton and many more union households going for trump and his optimistic message of economic prosperity. yeah, i mean, the case of the seiu they went all in on hillary and been big backers of obama and affordable health care act. so they kind of went all in. it s not unlike tech ceos where they might have been vocal against trump but they could backtrack a little bit and say, okay, now that
you re talking 120 degrees fahrenheit or 50 or so celsius, this is the place to be for some of the labor workers out there in the streets waiting to are a job but trying to find one spot to cool themselves off. interesting form of shade there, isn t it? yes. thanks so much, pedram. appreciate it. rapper 50 cent has had quite a few honors. the ceremonial pitch didn t go as planned. that pitch gives new meaning to the term off the platte. it was so far wide it almost hit a cameraman. 50 cent had an explanation of sorts. he said the pitch was thrown by curtis jackson which just happens to be his birth name. he has a great sense of humor there. take a while for him to get over that, i think. we end this newscast with the story of mr. g. he lost his best friend and went into a slumber. he was depressed and refused to eat. by the way, mr. g is a goat and
