Its crunch time. Youre on a Tour Supporting Abortion Rights with Vice President harris Donald Trump was rallying supporters in North Carolina saturday afternoon. I want you to take a listen to what he said would happen if he wins in a few weeks women will be happy, healthy, confident, and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion he says thats because it will be back to the states where it belongs. Whats your response . Thats just ludicrous. So i think, you know, this guy just doesnt understand what the average woman is confronting in her life in this country and how could he, hes not lived a normal life, unlike Kamala Harris, who has worked hourly jobs, who knows how important it is that women had Health Care and access to the medical care that they need. And so hes just deranged were learning about deaths in georgia that are being blamed on the states sixweek abortion ban. One of the strictest in the country republican governor brian kemp, who signed that ban into law. He says the procedures that these two women needed were actually perfectly legal. And the problem is democrats spreading, quote egregious Misinformation And Propaganda that fostered a Culture Of Fear and confusion, unquote, whats your response to that . Well, if republicans would just stay out of our doctors offices, we would all be better off. We would all be safer. We would all be able to make our own decisions about our bodies theres no questioN That Donald Trumps appointees to the United States Supreme Court has ripped these rights away from so many american women. Women have lost their lives and if Governor Kemp wants to clarify the law and make it easier for Women In Georgia to access the healthcare that they need. Im sure that a lot of women would be grateful for that. But at the end of the day, its not a his business. He should stay out of the doctors offices and these important decisions that should be vested in and only in the women who they impact youre from michigan, a big Union State for the first time in almost three decades, the Teamsters Union has decided to not endorse a president ial candidate. They have traditionally endorsed the democrat. This comes after Donald Trump won the pole of Teamsters Union members by 25 points. One Proharris Union Official told politico that poll is a Red Flag reminiscent of the 2016 election when Hillary Clinton underperformed among Union Households and among white men and ultimately did not win. Do you think this is all a Red Flag for harris, especially in michigan . I can just tell you this, this election is going to be close. Weve always knowN That thats what happens in these president ial elections. And in a state like michigan or pennsylvania, wisconsin, we know that this is going to be a close race. We also know that and it was the Bidenharris Administration that saved the teamsters pensions. We know that there is one candidate who understand why collective bargaining matters, and thats why the Rank And File members of the teamsters have come out robustly in favor of the harriswalz ticket. We welcome and appreciate their support, but where were in it to earn the support of all americans and were going to stay focused on an economy that creates opportunity for every persOn And i welcome all the local teamsters who jumped on board theyre the ones on the ground and theyre the ones who are going to decide the fate of this election. Youre states Attorney General, Dana Nessel charged almost a dozen individuals from the University Of Michigan over the antiisrael protests among the charges attempted ethnic intimidation, assaulting are obstructing a Police Officer and On And on. These are propalestinian protesters who, who were being punished and prosecuted michigan democratic congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, who is palestinian she called the charges from nessel, who is jewish shameful, and tlaib said, quote, it seems that the Attorney General decided if the issue was palestine, she was to treat it differently. And that alone speaks volumes about possible biases within the agency. She runs Unquote Nestle responded by saying, quote, Rashida Tlaib should not use my religion to imply i cannot perform my job fairly as Attorney General, its antisemitic and wrong unquote. Do you think that to leave suggestioN That nessels office is biased was antisemitic my son jake, you know what . All i can say is that i know that our Jewish Community is in pain as is our palestinian and muslim and arab communities in michigan i know that seeing the incredible toll that this war has taken on both communities has been really, really challenging and difficult. And my heartbreaks for so many. But as governor, my job is to make sure that both these communities are protected and respected under the law in michigan. And thats exactly what im going to stay focused on. But do you think Attorney General nessel is not doing her job because Congresswoman Tlaib is suggesting that she shouldnt be prosecuting these individuals that nessel says broke the law and that shes only doing it but because shes jewish and the protesters are not thats quite quite an accusation. Do you think its true like i said, jake, im not going to get in the middle of this argument that theyre having. I can just say this. We do want to make sure that students are safe on our campuses and we recognize that every person has the right to make their statement about how they feel about an issue, a right to speak out. And im going to use every every lever of mine to ensure that both are true some states such as georgia are enacting Lastminute Election rules changes, and some local officials are refusing to commit to certifying local results earlier this year. A small county in your state of michigan refuse to certify results in a local recall election, are you worried about potential problems or delays in michigan well, i think we should all be concerned. There are certainly is an effort to undermine her confidence in her democratic institutions. There is an effort to misinform people and we know that there is false informatioN That is ramping and everyday conversation in this country. And so i do think that we all known to be on high alert. I will also say this though in michigan we have codified a lot of different ways for people to participate in this election. Weve increased penalties against those who threaten election workers, and were going to make sure that our votes are cast and counted and im not worried about the outcome we may have some difficulties along the way because there arent nefarious people who are trying to undermine our confidence in our elections, but we wont let them win. Only a few weeks left until this this is all over. Weve heard other democrats in your position suggesting that they want to see more from Vice President harris and Governor Walz in terms of not necessarily speeches and controlled firemans, but Town Halls with voters, more interviews, Mixing It Up, Press Conferences were only 44 days to the election. Do you agree would you like to see more of that you, know i didnt have incredible confidence in both the Vice President and Governor Walz. They have showN That they are happy warriors. They are able to answer tough questions and they are eagles eager to get back into the debate. I know that vice frozen has already accepted your invitation for a debate. Well see if the former president has the guts to take her on all right. Governor gretchen whitmer. Thank you so much thank you my next guest has been floated as a potential Secretary Of Defense in a second, Donald Trump administration. Im going to ask arkansas Senator Tom Cotton and what that second Trump Term might look like next. And then, what does the scandal in North Carolina mean for trumps chances there in november, the Damac Democrat running for governor joins Me Harris first major interview since this scandal about his opponent broke.
