Donald trump blocked overtime benefits for millions of workers. [ Crowd Booing ] he opposed efforts to raise the minimum wage. As the president said, he appointed Union Busters to the national labor relations board. [ Crowd Booing ] and, dont forget, he supposed socalled right to work laws. I remember a time when republicans talked about things like freedom, they meant it. They would never turn their back on our allies. But thats not these guys.

The Harriswalz Campaign spent the Labor Day Holiday speaking to Union Workers in Battleground States. Meanwhile, Donald Trump and Jd Vance took The Day off from the Campaign Trail. We are now just a little over two months away

appeals. that seems like a hardball tactic republican presidents like proned trump would have had no problem using that should democrats considerate i don t think there s any question that they should. i think everything has to be o the table because this rulin is so fundamentally dangerous. not just for abortion access but for everything if you can have one judge make decisions about what medicatio is available to tens o millions of americans, where s the limit? so i think there s a lot o concern about the supreme cour on this. the way that he wrote the case is so poorly executed. , citing the construct dot which is an anti-bias bill tha was passed, by the way, 70 years before women at the righ to vote. i mean, it is so outrageous. the rationale is terrible. it is just bad law so there is a chance that it could actually be overruled at the supreme court. but in any case, the biden administration has not legatio to fight this tooth and nail i think they are going to. i know the voter
has asked barr about is all the wackiness that was going on between the white house and the justice department in trump s final weeks. that s a very big topic. they would have a lot to talk about. based on what s out there and what we know, my expectation is that the select committee is going to have many more questions for barr. and the question it is how wholesome and thorough is his kimbrough ration. does he continue to be someone who is viewed as a good actor? or do they get to the point where they have to think about using more hardball tactic to get cooperation from him? thus far, it s been only positive signals from the select committee. where involving bill barr, and that in of itself is a big deal. all right, betsy woodruff swan, thank you very much. next up, republican governor glenn youngkin s been in droves for ten days. he s already being sued. plus, the suspicious firing of a virginia lawyer working with the january six committee, after this.
