It was right on time. Pitch perfect. Thank you. Everyone take note. Yes. Victor is complementing me. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to cnn this morning. So great to have you. Im amara walker. Im victor blackwell. Good to be with you. The United Auto Workers is entering the third day of strikes against three automakers, ford, Ge General Mo and stellantis. The union says they remain far apart in terms of a deal on pay increase and benefits. Former president barack obama weighed in on the strike saturday. He called on the Auto Companies to do right by their workers. Hundreds of Union Members walked the picket lines. They say they are prepared to stick it out in order to get an agreement. Cnns gabe cohen is in ohio with more. Reporter victor, amara, saturday we saw the first small signs of any progress in these negotiations between the union and any of the big three automakers. This after the union met with ford. A source with union telling cnn, we had reasonably productive conversations with ford today. Certainly no deal. But a big step in the right direction after days of this hostile back and forth between the sides. Ford saying in a statement that they are committed to reaching an agreement with uaw that rewards our workers and allows ford to invest in the future. We are starting to see the Ripple Effect from these three plants that are shut down by the strike. General motors and ford announcing at least 2,600 workers will be laid off in the days ahead because their facility cant operate while these three factories are on strike. Still, so many of the workers i have spoken with on picket line now making 500 a weak in strike pay tell me they are ready to strike as long as they need to. Their 20 proposal is to pay is ridiculous. Six years and i have not had a raise in almost two years now. I cap out at 19. 28. I have been making that two years, trying to raise a family, and with inflation, its hard. It makes me hopeful they are getting the message we are on strike and ready for this and we have been preparing and, you know, bring a good offer to the table. Reporter why did you want your daughter to be here today . I brought her out to kinda get her involved, just so she knows, you know, whats going on with dad at work. Reporter and the head of the auto workers union, shawn fain, said that more factories could go on strike in the days ahead depending how the negotiations play out. Thank you. Joining me is the Executive Director for the center for labor and a just economy at harvard, sharon block. Thank you so much for being with me. You know, when the uaw characterizes their talks with ford as reasonably productive, it reinforces that this is not one Big Conversation with four players. These are three individual negotiations and conversations. How does this unprecedented trio of strikes influence uaw strategy, but also the individual automakers and how they approach these negotiations . Sure. And youre absolutely right. This is an unprecedented strategy. So were all just speculating as to how its going to play out. But i think as shawn fain has said, one of the benefits from his perspective of the strategy is that it gives him maximum flexibility. Im sure he is now thinking about what the next step is. Is he going to ask his members at other facilities to go out on strike and now he can respond based on how the negotiations are going with each of the companies because youre absolutely right. These are three separate negotiations. They are, obviously, informed by whats happening with each company, but ultimately the union will sign separate contracts with each of the big three. So you think that having all three at once gives the uaw an advantage that they would not have otherwise if they were striking just against ford or just against stellantis . Absolutely. They are putting pressure on all three companies, but they have the ability to ratchet, sort of calibrate that pressure depending how negotiations are going. The companies can see which company is having more pressure applied, where the negotiations are going better. It puts a lot more variables on the table so that the companies, you know, dont as shawn fain said, the companies dont know whats going to come next. I mentioned in the intro to gabe, the former president , barack obama, weighed in and said its time for the automakers to do right by the workers. Of course, we heard from President Biden that said that record corporate profits should mean record contracts. And let me put up one nor variable here. A gallup poll taken around labor day, it shows 75 of the people polled support or side with the workers versus 19 who side with these automakers. What is the value, the influence of public support on what happens inside these rooms . I think its incredibly important. This is something that makes this strike and this, you know, getting to a resolution of this labor dispute different than, i think, we have seen certainly in the past couple of cycles of uaw negotiations because public support for the workers is higher than its been in decades. And what that does, i think it gives some confidence to the union, to those workers, like you were just talking to, out on the picket line, that the customers are going to understand and they are going to stick with them. And i think that puts a lot of pressure on the companies representatives at the bargaining table. This is a union, for lots of reasons, that the company should believe can sustain a strike. And so there is going to be no easy out for the correspondents without, as President Obama said, coming up with a contract thats fair. I think its really important that came from President Obama because, obviously, he was president when this union made great concessions to save the Auto Industry in our country. Really, what they are saying now, and i think this is resonating with the public, one reason why you see such high public support for this strike, is that its time for the eurunion to share in the success of these companies. They bore a really heavy burden when the companies werent doing well, and now that the companies are taking in record profits, its time for the companies to share those profits, share that success with these members. I introduced you by reading off your current role at harvard, but are also a former Assistant Secretary of policy at the Department Of Labor in the obama administration. Weve heard from those around the white house. We spoke with congresswoman Debbie Dingell yesterday, that she does not see that there is a role for the administration in mediation or negotiating here. To you see a role for this administration in trying to end this strike . I think the administration right now is doing exactly what they should be doing, which is expressing support for workers getting a fair share. Its really a tenet of bidenomics to have a strong middle class. Thats what the uaw has really stood for in this country for a very long time, of creating middle class jobs and thats central to our economy being successful. You think continuing to reenforce that message, but this is a negotiation between the union and the companies. Thats the system that we have. You know, it does seem to be working. A strike doesnt mean that our system doesnt work. Its a way of influences what happens at the negotiating table. You know, as you said in your in the intro, there does seem to be some progress with the negotiations at ford. So, no, i dont see a role for the administration to actually intervene in the in whats happening at the negotiating table. Its creating the right environment. Sorry. I apologize for interrupting there. I think we got your message. Sharon block, appreciate you waking up early on a Sunday Morning and helping us understand what is happening with these three simultaneous strikes. Thanks so much. With roughly four monthsing in the Iowa Caucuses, republican president ial hopefuls spent yesterday courting the states conservat evangelical activists. Nearly all addressed the faith and Freedom Coalition banquet saturday. Of course, former president trump, who is confident in his poll numbers, did not show up for the event. Four months before the Iowa Caucuses open, the field of candidates were in iowa on saturday evening with the exception of frontrunner donald trump. The candidates were reaching out to evangelical voters, a critical part of the constituency here. There were several distinctions made on key issues. Most snoetably on military promotions. Of course, one issue on capitol hill In Washington has been alabama senator Tommy Tubervilles blockade of military promotions. Well, Florida Governor ron desantis, the only veteran in the race, said he supports the senators actions. Yes. I support what he is doing. First of all, what the Defense Department is doing is outside the law. They are breaking, violating the law by Funding Abortion Tourism with tax dollars. Reporter former South Carolina governor nikki haley, whose Husband Michael is currently serveong a tour of duty, disagreed and she said military members should not be used as political pawns. So why go and create all of this and hold those who sacrificed so much for our free toms . Why hold them as political pawns when all you have to do is get in there and can for an Up Or Down Vote in the house and the senate. Reporter those differences underscore an increasing sense of competition between desantis and nikki haley as they try to reach out to undecided Iowa Republican voters. Now, later in the evening former Vice President mike pence said he supported the house Impeachment Inquiry against President Biden. I dont want to jump to conclusions about this, but i must tell you, where there is smoke, there is usually fire In Washington, d. C. And the American People, the American People deserve the facts, and i am going to be out there championing and defending House Republicans as they bring the facts to the American People and hold joe biden and his family accountable. Reporter so President Biden, of course, the center of much of the criticism. Former President Donald Trump not on hound and rarely spoken. His supporters were here in force though and they say he will be campaigning aggressively. In fact, he is coming back to iowa on wednesday. The question is, can any of these rivals catch him or is this a race for second place . Victor and amara. Thank you. Texas embattled attorney general ken paxton will keep his job. He has been acquitted in his impeachment trial. The Conservative Ag and trump ally faced 16 articles of impeachment. They will stemmed from accusations that he abused his office to help a donor. Its not the end of his legal trouble. Ed lavandera has details. Reporter ken paxton is celebrating his victory by calling the case that was brought by the house Impeachment Managers as a sham and a shameful experience. Paxtons lawyers say that at vote in the texas senate was a vindication and was a resounding victory for ken paxton of the 18th republican senators voting on the 16 articles of impeachment, only two of them voted to convict ken paxton. He was acquitted on all 16 of the 20 articles of impeachment that were brought this trial. The other four charges were dismissed. Paxton says he is ready to get back to work. This is a trial that should have never happened. Period. Full stop. The right result happened, but it shouldnt have gotten this far. We are proud of the case we put on. We should not have had to prove our innocence. But thats what we did. And we believe that the court reached the right verdict. We are very proud of the work we did. Reporter this Peimpeachment Vote has erupted an allout civil war among texas republicans. The republican Lieutenant Governor dan patrick who oversees the senate after the trial spent several minutes blasting House Republicans for voting on these articles of impeachment and bringing these charges to the senate side on the house side the speak of the house, dave feelings, shot back at dan patrick, saying that it was clear, based on that speech, that this entire voting process was orchestrated from the beginning, essentially accusing senators of predetermining their vote before hearing all of the evidence and going on to say that this process cheated the voters of texas of justice in this case. And also democrats and some republicans saying that this vote essentially condoning corruption at the highest levels of texas politics. Our lawyers, the board of managers presented overwhelming evidence that ken paxton is the most corrupt politician in the state of texas at this time. And the republicans in the texas senate just returned him to the office of top cop. I will rely on what i said on the floor of the texas house. God help us. Reporter ken paxton is still facing legal troubles. He has state Securities Fraud charges, charges that loomed over him since he first took office, and those charges are expected to continue moving through the court system. He is also under federal investigation for the same issues that came up during this impeachment trial. So there are still many legal troubles that ken paxton will be facing in the weeks and months ahead. Amara and victor. Ed lav andera, thank you.

In just days, President Biden will meet with israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the General Assembly. This will be their first facetoface meeting since netanyahu returned to office and its significant since netanyahu hasnt gotten a white house invite since then. Some interpreted that as a sign of the administrations disapproval of israels proposed judicial reforms. Priscilla alvarez is here with us to give us a preview of the meeting, what should we expect, priscilla . Reporter well, National Security advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters that is an opportunity for the leaders to talk about regional issues and focus on their shared values or shared sort of position on democratic values. Of course, these were two longtime allies, but there had been some headwinds as netanyahu moved forward with a judicial overhaul. As you mentioned there, there was no invitation to the white house. This is a meeting happening on the sidelines. And that was seen as a disapproval by the white house whether it came to these judicial reforges. Now, this is part of President Bidens visit to the United Nations General Assembly where he, too, on tuesday will be giving a speech. As he has done in his previous remarks, he is going to talk about the u. S. And sort of renewed u. S. Leadership on the world stage, and the move away from the America First policies of his predecessor, former President Donald Trump. Now, Jake Sullivan previewed that, saying that the president will lay out steps he and his administration have taken to advance a, quote, vision of american leadership. Of course, we can also expect that there will be a focus on the war in ukraine. That has was the case last year, as the u. S. Reasserted the support for ukraine and rallying allies to stand behind them. We will likely see same here, especially as domestically there continues to be pushback from some republicans in providing additional aid to ukraine. Well also see president zelenskyy Visit Washington after the u. N. General assembly. So all of this happening this week. There will also be other meetings with world leaders, including the president of brazil. So the president President Biden will be visiting with all of that. Again as he tries to reassert u. S. Leadership and paint a picture moving forward of the u. S. Standing for democracy. This, too, has been a message of his Campaign Going into 2024. Priscilla alvarez, appreciate your reporting as always. Thank you. Congress has until the end of the month to avoid a possible Government Shutdown. Lawmakers on capitol hill have made no serious progress on a funding bill. Joining me now is congressional reporter for politico nicholas wu. Good to see you. We have seen this dreadful rerun of this movie many times before, but the typically, the ending is that Congress Gets its act together at the last minute and passes a bill, even if its just a stopgap bill. This time around is a shutdown more likely, especially as the House Speaker is facing the showdown with his conference . Lawmakers i have talked to are increasingly pessimistic about the prospects of a Government Shutdown because with a couple of weeks until this deadline, there hasnt really been any progress towards any kind of Spending Deal. We havent seen, you know, full negotiations start yet between the house and senate, let alone between democratic and republican leaders. And coming up this week, the house is set to take up its own republicanonly Stopgap Funding Bill that is almost certainly dead on atrifle in the senate. That doesnt get us closer. Democrats i talked to prepping for the worst and they have obtained this invitation where members are going to hold a briefing how best to prepare for a shutdown. So things are not looking good on capitol hill. Yeah. Thats not a vote of confidence there from you. What options does mccarthy have to convince the hardliners to pass at least a continuing resolution . Will he have no choice but to attach a border bill, which is a nostarter for the senate . Thats what mccarthy is going to try to tee up in the house this week, some sort of Stopgap Funding Bill with some constitute spending and with elements of the gops border bill. But we know Something Like that is never going to pass the senate where the, you know, senators say they want some kind of Spending Bill fewer strings attached. So the tricky balance here is figuring out, for mccarthy to figure out how he can satisfy the elements on the right, who wont accept a Spending Bill without these sorts of strings attached, and, you know, something that can pass the senate. Meanwhile, democrats are saying that they are not really going to help out mccarthy on something that has all these sorts of provisions that they dont want attached on border, spending cuts or likewise. Makes you wonder how this is sustainable for House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy to govern. As you know, nicholas, mccarthy reportedly blew up in a meeting during his right flank to vote him out on thursday. Do you think he could end up turning to the democrats again to avert a shutdown, even though we know the consequences of that would be, you know, Mccarthy Being voted out . Well, thats why the prospect of him doing so, its so unlikely. Democrats talked the possibility tv happening during the debt fight some months back. Now that threat is very real. Some republicans are openly talking about using this motion to vacate against Kevin Mccarthy. They dont have the votes to oust him right now if that were to come up, but if mccarthy were to strike some sort of compromise or bargain with the democrats to get a Spending Deal across, the number of republicans who would be willing to vote to oust the speaker would likely and that would be a real threat to his power. This is why he is in such a hard place right now. Thats right. Lets turn now, nicholas, to your reporting on sara mcbride. She is a 32yearold delaware State Senator who is running for a house seat next year. If she wins, she would be the first openly transgender member of congress. Tell me more about your conversations with her and about how she isnt afraid to lean into her Gender Identity at a time when, as you know, there has been an onslaught of republicanled policies against the lgbtq community, but at the same same she wants to show she is multidimensional, right . I spent the day following State Senator mcbride on the Campaign Trial as she is trying to be the first openly transgender member of congress. What i found interesting was this balance she is trying to strike between leaning into talking about her Gender Identity. Would be a historymaking run. This would be, you know, something schhe sees as a way t have broader conversations about identity at a time when there are politicians who are, you know, threatening parts of her identity. At the same time, she is trying to make this affirmative case to voters about how she has this record in the state senate and she has, you know, a policy plan that she could work on in congress beyond just, you know, the historic nature of her candidacy. Its going to be really interesting to see how this plays out over the next year with voters, you know, should the always great to see you. Thank you. Ahead, a setback for daca this week.

Yeah this morning, dreamers are facing another legal set back. A judge ruled against the Biden Administrations efforts to preserve the obamaera program known as deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals, or daca. Right. The order wont impact those currently protected under the program. Here is cnn National Correspondent Camilla Bernal. Reporter the success of this mexican candy Family Business is, in part, thanks to the deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals program, or daca. When we got daca, it was, like, it was a boost. It was, like, a catalyst. And then things just happened faster. Things were easier. Reporter licenses, loans, leases, all possible after ignacio began benefiting from this obamaera program. Now ignacio and his two siblings benefit from daca. They make part of the more than 580,000 socalled dreamers in the u. S. Undocumented immigrants often arriving to the u. S. At a young age, eligible for Work Authorization and shielded from deportation. But a federal judge in texas this week ruled that a regulation intended Preserve Daca is unlawful. The time is running out, and i think that even if the Biden Administration appeals, which i believe they will, and i think it will go all the way up to the Supreme Court, looking at our Supreme Court and looking at the law, i think its likely that Supreme Court would find it unlawful and then its over. Reporter professor and codirector of the immigration clinic at uscs law school says the ruling could force a more permanent solution. People are reminded of the uncertainty, how much time do they have left . Years, maybe. And you think really puts pressure on reform. Reporter At The Center of the issue is the scope of the president s authority, which is why for years congressional leaders have tried to come to an agreement over Immigration Reform and sfald. I think the agreement is there. But i think because certain factions of congress have taken such a position against daca that its very hard to come back to the middle and save face. Reporter immigration attorney alex galvez says at the end of the day its the beneficiaries of the program that suffer. The dreamers are in limbo once again. Its a political ping pong. Yes daca, no daca. Reporter the texas ruling does not impact current beneficiaries, but prohibits new applications. Yet, the realty is that ignacio does feel impacted. Even though im living like comfortably right now, always in the back of my head is, like, what if one day somebody decides to come and end daca. A lot of uncertainty that they are dealing with. Cnn National Correspondent Camilla Bernal reporting from los angeles. This just in. Kim jongun wrapped up his trip to russia minutes ago that. Is according to russias state news agency. You can see here kim boarding his personal armored train, which left as russian officials wave goodbye. State media report russian officials gave the north korean leader, kim jongun, several gifts, including body armor and suicide drones. This visit lasted several days, and russian president Vladimir Putin has already said that russia plans to build stronger relations with north korea. Western countries warned russia thursday that the country must not break International Sanctions on north korea. Skrn is learning from several sources that china suspended its surveillance Balloon Program for now. You remember a chinese spy balloon was shot down in february after seen floating across u. S. Airspace. Now u. S. Officials believe beijing made a concerted effort not to launch any more balloons. Natasha bertrand has more. Reporter victor, amara, u. S. Officials tell cnn that china appears to have suspended its surveillance Balloon Program following a major diplomatic incident earlier this year when one of the countriess High Altitude spy balloons trans sited the united states. They now believe that chinese leaders made a deliberate decision not to launch additional balloons since the one over the u. S. Was shot down by american fighter jets back in february and, importantly, the u. S. Has not observed any new launches from china since that episode occurred. Now, the apparent suspension of the program konls as both the u. S. And china have sought to stabilize relations, but officials also say that the suspension could be the result of chinese president xi jinping getting pretty angry that the spy balloon crossed over the u. S. At all without his knowledge and he was apparently not pleased that it caused such a diplomatic uproar according to sources. Chinese communist Party Leaders apparently reprimanded the operators of that Surveillance Program over the incident, according to a source familiar with the intelligence. Now, importantly, the program was pretty extensive before it was halted and the chinese launched roughly two dozen missions globally in recent years. It could be restarted according to experts. How long this suspension actually lasts, that is going to likely depend on how u. S. china relations play out over the next several months. President biden and xi jinping could meet on the sidelines of a summit in San Francisco in november. A meeting has yet to be confirmed. All right. Thank you so much, natasha. Still ahead, the u. N.

More than 11,000 people have been killed in libya by devastating flooding waters that ravaged the coastal town of derna last week, and those numbers are expected to rise even further as aid workers say hope of fining any survivors is dwindling ngts rescuers have been searching, but International Rescue missions believe most of the bodies were washed away to sea. Cnn interNational Correspondent larry joins us live from nairobi in kenya. Larry, tell us what you know about these rescue and, in many cases, Just Recovery now, honestly, efforts. Reporter so, victor, amara, this is still an ongoing. Rescue efforts are ongoing. They are searching under damaged buildings and in the sea hoping to find survives. Its been a week since this catastrophic flooding, so the chances of finding people still alive are minimal. Here is the thing. The u. N. Saying 113 0 are dead in derna. And 10,000 people are still miss. Thats why they are still searching, hoping to find bodies so they can give them dignified bur burials in this trajectory of unspeakable proportions. The local immediate say 891 buildings fully damaged, another 211 partially damaged, a few more were talking about 15 of buildings affected in the city. It may never return in the form that it was before. This flooding has led to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe in that part of the country. I want read a section of this report from the u. N. That says impacts have severely exacerbated already high levels of preexisting needs and vulnerabilities, damaged or destroyed homes, hospitals, critical infrastructure, and significantly increased the affected populations exposure to Waterborne Diseases and risk. The rebuilding will probably take years and never be the same again. Yes. You are probably right about that. I think a lot of people may not known for the last decade libya, this is a country that has been divided politically for quite some time, and now it has two rival governments, one internationally recognized in the eastern parliamentbacked administration. I cant imagine thats making the response any easier . Reporter its making it much harder because they cant agree on the response and how many people have been killed. Part of the crumbling infrastructure is because of the division in the country. While there is a lot of international support, its not well coordinated.

And remember eat those leftovers. Mmm the more you know. All this week we are bringing you a series called champions for change. We are spotlighting everyday people who are making huge differences in the world. This morning, im introducing you to my champion. A minnesota choir master who helps singers with dementia and their caregivers through the power of music. Given my mother has alzheimers, the mission of this Amazing Grace chorus is dear to my heart. This was at my brothers wedding in brazil. This is probably the last time we had a true family trip where my mom was somewhat put together. My mother has alzheimers. She was diagnosed two years officially. My mothers name is young son. Shes 76. My mother was my best friend. Mom had three pillars in her life. Family, god. She was a minister. Third was music. She was a selftaught pianoist. She had a beautiful voice. Music has been medicine for my mother. It has been therapeutic. Theres power in music. The Amazing Grace chorus is a choir filled with love, joy, peace. To make navigating memory loss and isolation a better journey as our elders age. I think shauna moses is a champion for change. She is finding unconventional, more holistic ways to treat dementia patients. I so appreciate that shes telling us, dont just rely on medication. Lets use music as well. To lift up alzheimers patients, but to also lift up those caregivers who have been sacrificing day in and day out. My father has been taking care of his wife of nearly 50 years. Yes, god is real for i can feel him in my soul that was one of georges favorite songs. He was 90. He passed away. When i come to the choir, i feel im going to be with george. Transformation of folks. It looks as if their body comes back. One example i think of is one of our members who almost may seem quiet and docile prior to music starting. When the beat drops, when the music drops, something happens. Its witnessed by everyone. W what would you say to loved ones who are on the verge of giving up . They are still there. Sing to them. Music can really affect the brain in ways that are medicinal. It may be the association with the positive memories. It may be its actually sparking the parts of the brain that release these chemicals that are counter to the symptoms off aggi aggitation. Sitting my mom down on the piano. It helped me remember my moms tenderness. It helped me see a piece of my mom who loved music and leaned on music during her challenging times. What a challenging time shes going through right now with alzhe alzheimers. To be able to see my mother, even if its 60 seconds lately, it has been so soothing for me. At least i can see that shes still there. Sorry. Sorry, guys. Nothing to apologize for. I want people to know that its a very isolating and disheartening journey at times. You are not alone. Dont be afraid to ask for help. The alzheimers association, which has been a godsend, has been an amazing resource for guidance. One thing i want to mention is the doctor in the piece talked to me about a dementiafriendly society. We are so far from that. What is dementiafriendly . It decreases the stigma and intentionally finds way to include and incorporate people with alzheimers so they are not so marginalized, because they still are. Thank you for bringing us that story. I know it is not easy to discuss a lot of this. We have talked about it off camera. I think, of course, the choir you highlighted helps a lot of people, but you helped a lot of people today. Thank you. Music really is medicine. Thank you for that. Tune in saturday at 8 00 p. M. Eastern for champions for change. Its a onehour special. We will be right back.
