Will the former aide says donald trump told her just as a classified documents investigation was heating up. Im Charles Coleman jr, in for ayman mohyeldin. Lets get started, weve got a lot to talk about. But first, breaking news. Time is running out with just seven days away from a Government Shutdown. Most House Republicans or nowhere to be found. Literally. They have left washington to go home with no resolution insight. On thursday, for the second time this week, House Republicans failed to stop debate on a bill to fund the Defense Department after five farright members of speaker mccarthys own caucus blocked the measure and demand additional spending cuts. This marks yet another embarrassing moment for mccarthy, with the defeated theory telling members to go home, canceling all votes for the weekend. On friday, mccarthy told reporters that the next bullet could be held on tuesday. This time to take up a rule of a series of appropriations known as a mini bus. He says they believe they have made problems with the conservative holdouts, but with this kind of optimism from the speaker before and look towards darkness. Pretty much nowhere. Breaking news, a few hours ago, we got word that House Republicans have a conference what call were mccarthy told halers and his caucus that, quote, now is not the time to work against him. Ll, when . Is four weeks, House Republicans have been infighting, and that infighting has parallels, rather, paralyzed, the house. Preventing them from pausing the short term funding bill which is necessary to get the governments doors open beyond September 30th when the funding is set to run out. This looming shutdown has most americans on edge. In fact, according to a new survey, more than half of americans say the shutdown of the federal government would affect them personally. And 68 of those say the threat of a Government Shutdown decreases their trust in how we run our government institutions. This isnt a question who will be the responsibility for that lost trust. As Bill Scheer Points Out and a new piece from washington monthly, if the gop fails to avoid a shutdown, theyll be, quote, we are in the proverbial dons cap. Ch he goes on to, right, quote there should be no confusion about who is to blame. The republican extremists who are okay with Furloughing Made Inspectors and the speaker, too afraid of losing his job to put them in the replay swiftly. And quote. But dont just take his work for it. Here is what republican congressman and bastion of civility matt gaetz told reporters this week, pending a shut down on one man and one man alone. Quote, we will have a Government Shutdown and its absolutely speaker mccarthys fault. We cannot blame joe biden for not havent moved our individual spending bills. We cannot blame house democrats. We cant even blame Chuck Schumer in the senate. And quote. Now if youre like me, you probably didnt have occurring with matt gaetz on your weekly bingo card. Trust me. Im just as surprised as anyone out there. But the truth is the truth. And with that, lets get started with our sights a donut panel. Joining me is Kurt Bardella, democratic religious. Also a former spokesperson for republicans on the House Oversight committee. In studio, i have danny cevallos, my friend, criminal defense attorney, and msnbc legal analyst and paola ramos, a journalist and msnbc contributor joins us as well. To begin, kurt, lets talk. Mccarthy cant even get his own caucus together to pass a procedural vote. We saw that this week. Now since 1995, the house has only failed to pass a rules resolution a total of eight times. All of those times or under republican control. Now three of those times have come just within the last eight months under mccarthys leadership. Why does he keep embarrassing himself publicly like this . Yeah, charles, this is republicans in disarray all over again. And its a script were becoming all too familiar with. And i think if anything, i hope this makes everybody appreciate the leadership that nancy pelosi demonstrates when she was facing a very similar narrow margins in her majority, was able to ship right through monumental election time and time again. She was able to keep her caucus and won because she possessed legitimate leadership skills. Kevin mccarthy is a leader and speaker in name only. Hes not in charge of this caucus, they run roughshod over him. Hes created a tournament result of the most extreme, lunatic, fringe, conspiracy driven more runs in his caucus to type the entire effect of the floor of the house of representatives. Thats one of the most abject failures of leadership we are ever seen in the history of the United States congress. I cant imagine other republicans back in the day, people like tom delay, people even like Newt Gingrich pushing up with this type of insubordination, lunacy, and strategic Moronic Playbook that the matt gaetzs of the world are trying to play. Its a losing hand, everyone knows it. Mccarthys illusion speak right. Now asked the question, how much longer as you can if you are malcolm self to be limited good point. Hard to me i mentioned to imagine a new drug which went house that we have this level of insubordination from his own party, no less. Ill give you a cultural tip. It certainly basis you may hear, intellectuals for example, someone saying everything is a setup for a come back. What it seems like in the case of kevin mccarthy, his election as speaker was just a set up for a fall back. Paola, its the chaos a side effect of how he came to power . Is at the fact hes beholden to too many masters, in essence, and cant really correct a hold of his party and move forward . Of course. At the end of the day, this is his doing. But i think its important, to kurts point, hes missing some of the most fundamental characteristics that nancy pelosi had. That was courage, integrity, which he doesnt have. And morals. He has a lot of. That he wants to govern, if you want to be speaker of the house, if he wants to really lean into the power that roll necessary tights, you need these characteristics. The only reason we are we are is because he emboldened the maga republicans. He gave him that power, why . Because he himself went to power. He doesnt even have power. He doesnt have power when hes at the top of the power structure. Again, how long can we go with this . At the end of the day, its not just the American People that will suffer from this. Its also our democracy. What we are seeing truly is the slow decline of the erosion of this democracy. Ask any american right now, two in ten americans right now actually believes the American Government is doing the right thing. That is a very dangerous thing. Danny, i want to talk to you about what seems to be the most placed focus of republicans. This week we had Merrick Garland and others testify in front of a House Committee basically around this gearing up for the impeachment conversation. That hearing was wrought with a lot of misinformation, and thats something that has been peddled throughout the party. And one of the things that the shutdown is the notion that somehow, if we pull the plug unfortunately government, thats going to defund or stop the prosecution by the doj of donald trump in d. C. And southern florida. Can you speak to that . A lot of people are confused and dont know what the effect, if any, will be. Even if its a total Government Shutdown, the criminal courts and the government, by government i made the u. S. Attorneys and the eighth usa who are prosecuting cases, those continue. The Government Shutdown shuts down nonessential work. That has been for sometime now considered essential work of the government, to continue precedent criminals. And you can imagine, charles, what it would be like if that was an area or an agency that did shut down. If doj and fbi and everyone else, it well, government shut down, we are not working. Imagine if the bureau of persons simply didnt come to work. There are folks living at those facilities. So they have to move on. There are essential workers, certainly for a long time, criminal prosecution has been concerted within that essentially kind of work. That goes on no matter what shutdown happens. So that means, at least in the two federal prosecutions of donald trump, this will continue. Shut down, partial done, no shutdown at all. Thank you. Kurt, i want your reaction to the survey i was just talking about. More than half of the market has issued from a federal government would affect him personally. 68 say the threat of one just decreases their trust in the government. So, with the gop knowing this, how worried should they be about those numbers and what a pull up and tells us in terms of where america stands around the shutdown . Yeah, i mean, when you think about the fundamental Description Function of congress, its to pass laws, pass a budget, keep the government running and keep the government funded. When you fail at your most basic Job Description and responsibility, youre basically taking a billboard to the American Public saying were unfair to serve, were unfit to be representatives, were unfit to hold the reins of power. At the same time, somehow, you found the time to hold a bogus impeachment proceeding and witch hunts targeting your political effort yours and the biden family. Its reconcilable. You cant say were doing it for the people that prosecuting joe biden, but were also going to shut down the government because we cant even get a majority of our own conference together on the senate to do the basic perfunctory Job Description. There is no reason why anyone in america should have confidence in this republican majority. Paula, speaking of polling which we were just talking about, the publics approval of the Republican Party has Hit Record Lows in October Of 2013 after the shutdown at that point. So at this place again, and it seems as though were headed for another crash course with the government closing. Why is it that some of these republicans actually believe that a shutdown would be to their benefit politically . Help me understand that because all the signs of what we know before says that, when this happens, the polls go down. So what does it make them think that they can afford to have this happen now . I dont think i can answer this question because i truly do not understand. What i do understand are those polls. Why theyre declining, why trust is declining, why . Because theyre so hypocritical. Lets just take whats happening at the southern border. This is an issue that republicans claim that they care so much about. If the government shuts down, the u. S. Southern border will effectively be less safe. Right . As were talking right now, there is a massive humanitarian crisis happening there. 7000 migrants are apprehended every single day. Two migrants died just last week Border Patrol agents, Law Enforcement agents, that these maga republicans come to defend, they will continue to work if the government is shut down, but they will not be paid. If we know from previous shutdowns is that, if that happens, that does cause filmed abilities. And that will make Law Enforcement agents less safe. Test your question, i dont know, but i do understand why the public does not trust them. Donny, you and i talk notes on both a lot, when it comes to indictments and what it means for what this motion signifies. I want to talk theory really quickly. Theres all this information being put out about the doj about and how thats moving. Is there any concern as lawyers who practice in this space, that by vilifying the doj that there is the potential through this Misinformation Campaign to decrease Public Confidence in our legal system, in our Criminal Justice system, and the people who are responsible for Holding Accountable folks who do wrong . Criminal Defense Attorneys have been criticizing the dojs since time immemorial. Its something that happens. It is something that trump, for example, seems to have a lot more hot spot to do. Hes a lot more fearless then i would be. I have plenty of criticisms. I dont voice them like that. And i hope that mine are more substantive than donald trump s. His idea that the doj is a puppet of a president is just not how the doj works. When you think of the Cabinet Members of the cabinet, the doj, the attorney general, is different from other members of the cabinet because he as an attorney, as the head of the justice department, exercises his own discretion. Now, is there is some degree of alliance and that they Work Together and they know each other and Merrick Garland serves at the pleasure of the president . Sure. But, doj is an independent engine nc. So charles, as much as i criticize a usas who prosecutes my cases, i understand that they act independently. And if theyre loyal to any, think theyre loyal, not to the president , but to the system itself. They are all and i think you probably would agree with me, when you deal with a usa, is in your cases, they are loyal to they believe in the system, they believe in the justice system, irrespective of who sitting in the white house. As a former prosecutor, this is criticism that i do not miss. Paulo ramos, thank you so much. Curt and danny, stick around. You guys are staying with. Me well come back to you later in the hour. But, after the break, i will be speaking with congressman jimmy gomez about republicans being more focused where the evidence free Impeachment Inquiry than keeping the government open.

I am Charles Coleman jr, in for him and tonight. The government can shut down in just seven days and four hours. And republicans are laser focused not on Keeping Doors of the government open, but rather on expanding their evidence free Impeachment Inquiry into president joe biden. In fact, just days before a possible shutdown, the House Oversight committee is scheduled to hold its first hearing related to that very inquiry. Theres some new reporting that suggest some republicans already fear the committees handling of that matter before we have even had the hearing. According to axios, colleagues of chairman James Comer Have become so fed up with his exaggerations and distortions about that investigation, that they are worried about him being the public face of the inquiry. They are praying he will adopt a much more measured approach. Joining me now is democratic congressman jimmy gomez of california, hes a member of that very House Oversight committee. So glad to have you here with us, congressman. Lets talk about what we have to look forward to going forward. What do you think should be made of republicans who appear more concerned about this inquiry than they are the actual shutdown of the house . Well, there are demonstrating what theyve demonstrated in the past. [inaudible] conspiracy that [inaudible] they had zero evidence that show them that President Biden has done anything wrong. Or that [inaudible] [inaudible] [inaudible] americans without childcare. Thats a big deal. Thats going to impact peoples ability to take their kids to childcare, to get to work, to get to school. Its going to have a Ripple Effect that is going to impact every state, not just the blue states, but every single state. So it just shows that they have no interest in doing peoples work. Theyre interested in [inaudible] donald j trump. Congressman gomez, were having a few audio issues, but we appreciate you coming weather, as for gonna try to make this as smooth as we can for the audience out there. I want to talk about for a moment about your colleague james comer. Theyre some republicans that are very concerned about the way that he is overselling the case against the president. There is a concern within that party that these exaggerations could ultimately come to bite the party politically. How much of that should be an issue for the country, and also, with this wave of misinformation, carrying the day, what is that that we can do to fight back and make this picture clearer about what has and has not been going on with respect to this administration and the alleged Biden Crime Family that they keep trying to advance . Yes, one of the things weve seen when it comes to cameras that he throws out some wild accusations, and many has to go and apologize. Republicans should be very [inaudible] if he continues doing that performance, hes gonna say write one thing, and youll have to apologize for it. At the same time, its been a hot mess after another. We have Marjorie Taylor greene showing a [bleep] pick of hunter biden which is offensive and appalling. But thats what theyre trying to do, theyre trying to misguided the American People. Theyre trying to say dont look over, there where we cant govern. The whole system is gonna shut down. They continue to spew Conspiracy Theories, putin comes to ukraine, when it comes to biden. Heres the thing, there is zero evidence implicating joe biden is implicated in any sort of crime. Plain and some people. And there is nothing [inaudible] i appreciate your reference to the picket scene around the house. Congressman gomez, i want to ask you flat out, lets call it what it is and find out the truth, from your perspective, at this moment, how likely is it that the government avoid shutting down in just over seven days . I think its not very likely that the republicans are gonna be able to get their act together and keep the government open. Theyre gonna most likely have a shut down. [inaudible] not a long period of time and we hope that the [inaudible] doesnt packs everybody. Like i said, it [inaudible] this impacts essentially hundreds of billions that work in [inaudible] this will have a Ripple Effect for a lot of our [inaudible] we dont to see that. We dont want to see [inaudible] [inaudible] [inaudible] when that happens, you undermine the peoples faith that congress can do their job. And maybe thats what the republicans want to do. They want to continue eroding [inaudible] not only an hour progress but our system of government as a whole. Congressman jimmy gomez, thank you so much for your time.

The mishandling of Donald Trumps has been rocked with a new bombshell with revelations from someone very close to the former president. Molly michael, rmer assistant to donald trump, has reportedly informed vestigators that the ex president told her that she shld say she didnt know anything about the boxes containing classified documents that he had stashed at ralago after leaving the white house. According to michael, trump told her, quote, you dont know anything about the boxes. End quote. When Lauren Forsman wanted to talk to, or thats what he said. This is originally reported by abc news. Trump also repeatedly wrote to do lists for michael on documents from the white house that were marked as classified. Including no cards that were used to brief him for phone calls with foreign leaders or other international related matters. To discuss this, lets bring back Kurt Bardella and danny cevallos, also joining me is reena shaw, former republican and founder of relax tragedies. Danny, so, what was michaels is describing, its unbelievable but it also seems like a Textbook Case of obstruction. Am i missing something, how significant of a revelation is this . As to all these trump indictments, you often hear people say, well wait until his codefendants turn on him. Wait until his codefendant walt naughton, the documents case, cooperates with the government and comes and testify against trump. The government will probably be happy to hear from walton nauta, but they did not indict donald trump planning on needing walt nauta to turn on donald trump. For more useful to them are people like Molly Michael, because she has absolutely she appears to have zero criminal exposure whatsoever. The government loves people like that who come in and talk to them. I always believe, and many folks would agree, i think you might agree with me, charles, that when these people in trumps orbit when trump got indicted, theyre a lot of people who are in the administration, there are people that were just doing their job. And they dont want to get in trouble, they may not have done anything criminal, and these are the kind of people that probably rushed to the government to say, whoa, if youre looking into this, i will tell you everything you want to know. According to reports, thats exactly what Mueller Michael did. She came to a dusk, something for government missed, and reportedly said, hey, you guys missed every something. Heres everything you need. This is what the government needs, even more than cooperators. Because cooperators have criminal exposure, and they know they will get screwed on the stand. Someone with no criminal exposure, like molly, michael is a fantastic witness for the government because shes there, the government will put on the stand, and essentially paying her as some one whos there out of the goodness of the heart, and not because theyre cooperating for some deal on sentencing down the road. Reena, what were learning now really could mean that Molly Michael becomes the prosecution star witness. I want you to think back for a moment about what we saw what the January 6th Commission in front of the house and the testimony of cassidy hutchison. Are we looking at another situation where this relatively unknown figure could potentially become a Household Name for essentially talking about, within proximity, what you learned being around donald trump . You described is not too farfetched. Cassidy hutchinson has a book out coming out. And the reality is, you could go on and tell your story and be construed as someone who is standing up for the country, doing the right thing. But we know what mike is gonna say about this, right . Theyre gonna say that these people from the deep state. And now theyre part of the conspiracy to take down the former president of the United States, because they dont like him anymore, and hes not useful anymore to them. What i say about this moment is that we have to be careful. Because its still somebody that was part of trumps orbit, and is coming out now of course pointing out these more than discrepancies, shes doing something that ought to be done. And its something to be believed in the law taking good people to do the right thing. Yeah, this is a woman that should be celebrated. But also what i saw happen with the select committee is that people went on to not only villainized these figures that came forward and offer what they knew, they went on to make their lives incredibly tough. So thats really part of the look towards the future administration. For 13 months away from what will be potentially a Game Changing situation where biden is no longer in power. And that changes everything for how trump world sees, again. Again, the government and how it treats us and sees us is and thats what we hear anymore. From maga [inaudible] on trump. What rina, i have to follow up with, you your former republican, i have to, ask for hardline republicans, to someone like Molly Michael or cassidy hutchinson, for that matter, are they a villain, are they a patriot, are they a hero . What is the narrative around them in terms of coming forward with this kind of information if it is true . These people are absolute villains. On the one hand, again, as i described, it theyve done the right thing. But, look, im somebody that believes that if you went into the trump administration, you knew what you are signing up for. And you cant be that surprised. When you come out and tell the tale, sure, i feel for you, but i also dont feel that bed. Because this is a situation which this administration operated under its own rules. They didnt seem to have care for how things worked down through before them, they dont even care about how things go after them. They know that things changed fundamentally. Theres been a Seismic Shift in the Republican Party. People dont talk about that enough. Not only are they in different factions right now, but the shift in how we view who to trust, the crisis of trust is manifesting. And so into the Republican Party actively, and we dont know how thats gonna play out, charles. Its something that is happening right now. And these figures that come forward, good on them, but its a moment of which i say [inaudible] put dogs, you wake up with. Please that you make a point, this is something you had to be aware you signed up for. Kurt, i want to get your reaction to the reaction time. Here it came after donald trump, the instruction it is, of the instruction tamale, michael came after donald trump learned that there were going to be federal investigators who were really going to pursue this and going to be president at maralago. What is your reaction to that . From an obstruction standpoint, the fact that this is when he decided to say, hey, you dont know new thing about those boxes. Ay, hey, you dont know n i mean its textbook, t like bad version of the sopranos playing out here. Its not that its so blatant that donald trump allegedly continually trust obstruct justice, its how blatantly bad he is at it. And i think danny was right that for a lot of observers have whats been going on with the former president s legal troubles, the issue of when his own people start turning on him, when his own people start flipping on him, thats the most revealing element of all of this. I want to remind everybody, when you hear republicans go out there and say that these are witchhunts, these are partisan, this is the Biden Administration going after the political adversaries. Remember, every one of these cases, every single one of them is built on evidence from trumps own people. From his own employees, from his own campaign workers, from his own white house officials. Testimony, depositions, witnesses, firsthand accounts, are all from people within trumps orbit. Theyre not from partisan democrats. Im so glad you brought that up because now im going to switch focus and talk about Fulton County and that little r. I. C. O. Case going on there with 19 codefendants that fani willis is bringing. You talked about the fact that so many of these cases are being brought, not only by trumps lawyers but also by the people around him. This week we learned that lynne wood has been named as a witness. I want you to sort of talk im gonna get denny to weigh in as well. How significant is that that pro trump attorney lin wood is being named as a Witness For The Prosecution . That seems to be in line with just but you are making the point around in terms of the people closest to him being the same Foundation Upon which these cases are being built. Whats your reaction to that as we look forward to what fani willis is doing in georgia . I think thats important, i think thats why the potential televising of that proceeding can be very important because right now, most americans dont know about this case, thats fine and thats expected. But if this is on television, and everyone in america tunes, an and they dont see a partisan democrat, not a progressive activist, but Donald Trumps own people testifying against him, i think that could be incredibly damaging for him. This is a thing republicans need to be worried about as we go to 2024, frankly. Theyre gonna try to run for president to get the majority in the, house to keep the senate. All the while this is not unfolding on National Television and the star witnesses and the key testimonies are going to be from fullfledged Republican Trump maga sympathizers. Theyre gonna be the ones about the dagger and donald trump. Its not gonna be the justice department, the bureaucracy, the deep state, all the Conspiracy Theories we hear from republicans all the time. Its gonna be from Donald Trumps own people. Danny, really quickly, a lot of has been made about mode is a prosecution witness. But also he says, i looked on them. Trump how do you reconcile . That your defense attorney. Can you explain what are the Different Reasons they could be looking to calwood . He might not be formally cooperating, and otherwise, he may not be entering into an agreement with the government or with State Prosecutors to not be prosecuted in exchange for his testimony. But that doesnt mean that testimony wont be damaging. Thanks for example, that, say then what is still a Trooper Lever that the election was stolen and that if the government or the state possum to come in, hell testify hell testify consistently with what he thinks was righteous. How good is that going to be for trump when theres all this evidence that they were flat out wrong . So even if linwood is not a cooperator in the traditional sense that hes entered into a bargain but the government, hes still could be damaging for trump and exhibit a to that is Fulton County, the prosecutors, are putting him on the witness list. He has something that they want, they put him on the stand, and hell give it. Maybe in his mind, hes not telling of trump. But obviously, if he has information that helps the state, thats where theyre calling him. We Kurt Bardella, danny cevallos, and rina shah, thank you to you all.

On friday, thousands of workers a general workers walked off the job. They joined nearly 13,000 workers who were already on strike. The ex disbanded walkout did not include four due to the progress that they are making at the negotiation table. All the workers have been on strike over one week since the uaws previous crossfire with the three major auto makers expire. The union is seeking wage increases of 36 over four, years cost of living adjustments, and a 32hour work week among other goals. Earlier this week, General Motors i dont plan in kansas idled a plant, in kansas, and laid off almost 2000 workers athavery plant. And now, present biden is set to visit miigan on tuesday to show support for the strike. One day before donald trump is scheduled to be there. Joining me now to discuss is Tiffany Simmons of uaw local 900 in michigan, as well as bob kaine, former president of the uaw. Tiffany, i want to start with you. Talk to us about your experience on the picket line. Why were you all striking along your fellow uaw members . Well, the experience so far along the picket line, everyones adrenaline still running, everyone is still in good spirits, everyone is still hopeful. We are striking right now because weve asked for change. We ask nicely, weve asked not so nicely, and now were demanding it. It was a long time coming. Bob, i want to bring you in and ask about your reaction to President Biden announcing that hes coming to michigan. I mean, this calling in the big guns and then theres calling in the president of the United States. How significant is it to Organized Labor that is sitting president which has never happened in history before is coming to michigan to stand with you all . How big of a deal is that . I think its an extremely big deal. I think everybody in the labor book is really excited about this, as you said, no sitting president in history has done this. I think it also demonstrates how strong public support is behind the uaw members on strike. The public wants our membership to get the good fair contract. They realized the unfairness are members made huge sacrifices so that these companies could be profitable, and now theyve hoarded the profitability without sharing it fairly with its members. Its a big deal, its a big step, i, think in the right direction. I really want to stay with you for a moment because as we are talking about the significance of the marriage between politics and political power and Organized Labor, this is very interesting to me. So we have seen an unprecedented, over the past few elections, split, a fracture that has begun to occur within the organized Labor Movement where for example, we have organized Labor Leaders who are actually endorsing a particular candidate for president. In most cases, its the democratic candidate. But over the course of the last two elections and going back to 2016, weve seen a split and more and more of the actual members of different unions signing with republican candidates who have typically not championed the issues of Organized Labor. Is where we are currently in effect of that fracture, that split . Or is it simply unrelated from your perspective . Well, i guess my perspective is different than yours, and youve got some different data than i do. But there is always been a significant portion of the uw members who have voted for republican candidates. And really what makes a difference in elections is how hard the local union, the national, the regional level really talking to members, talking about why its so important to support the candidate, to support why theyre so good at labor issues. When we do that oneonone work, we get really strong turnout. It really helps good progressive democrats, good progressive candidates get elected. Tiffanie, the union points off thatceoseceived 40 of pay raises over the past four compared to 6 and pay increases for regular workers during that same time. How do you react to that stark difference . Is that part of the motivation to while you all are right now on the picket line . We react, with all due respect, is laughter. Its completely ridiculous. These ceos, theyre calling but were being offered generous. Meanwhile, theyre Making Salaries that can probably provide for an entire assembly plant. Everyone makes money except for the people who are actually doing the work. They claim that these are performance based bonuses. We have yet to see the performance. The people that are performing are on these Assembly Lines and in these manufacturing facilities. We create the status quo. Everybody has profited from the Auto Industry except for the people who are actually building the vehicles. People vehicles every day that literally carry lives. And, while the whole economy is evolving, our wages are still archaic. Bob, weve talked about President Biden tom coming in and standing with autoworkers. But lets shift our conversation a little bit to president trump, there is a pretty clear message set by uaw president around donald trump before his trip where he said, quote, every fiber of our union is being poured into fighting the billionaire class, in an economy that in rich is people like donald trump at the expense of workers. What are your thoughts about that quote from the current president of the union . I think that quote is right on the mark. Our automakers in ohio will never forget, he came to [inaudible] as you remember the last campaigns, dont sell your home, dont move. Im gonna save this plant. He didnt lift a baby finger to hope any of the uaw members in lords town. Were starting to see more and more wet a charlatan he is. And that hes not been a friend or ally to any working person.

Welcome back to ayman ana mason b. C. I am Charles Coleman jr, in for ayman tonight. The conservative result of american intoxication and widespread assault we see it every day involves and policies and playing out in realtime in our schools. According to the washgton post, in recent, years 25 states, thats half the country, have passed 64 Laws Reshaping what students can learn and do at school. These laws limit instruction on race, history, sex or gender identity. But a key component that gets lost and all of this is the impact that it has on educators. And the threats they face due to Teaching Curriculums that challenge the status quo. One such educators merrywood, a High School English teacher in South Carolina where students reported her last year for listen on race. Its a case that drew national attention. What had to from tanehisi coats, between the world and me. An awardwinning book written as a letter from the author to her son about what it means to be black in america. But mere days after student and parent complaints, School Administrators ordered wood to stop Teaching Lessons on coatess book. The predicament invited her particarly conservative town of taping, and as the Academic Year came, underway for the first time in 14 years of teaching, what was scared to go back to school. She told the washington post, trust, its fundamental to the classroom. A big part of that trust is teaching authentically. And for would, that means teaching writers like coats, voices that are unfamiliar and even perhaps disconcerting to students. But because of what happened last year, she was worried that anything might be resisted, reported, and reported by the children she was supposed to be teaching. We marry woods is not alone. Educators from across the country, from wisconsin to texas have been punished or reprimanded for their desire simply to exposed to their students the minds they are interested with, to a world thats diverse and evolving. The backlash that teachers are facing for trying to thoughtfully educate and inform their students is not a problem that we can overlook. Because when we put the power in the hands of students to say what they will and wont be taught, we place our teachers in an untenable position. Were doing a disservice to both them and their students. Thats gonna do it for me. Thank you so much for making time for us. Im Charles Coleman jr. In four ayman mohyeldin.
