Heading into the november election. Some of it reads like a Black Mirror episode. It is a thrill to have you and that Pit Congratulations on the book. It is titled americas deadliest election, the Cautionary Tale of the most violent election in american history. It is out today. Now it is time for the last word with the great lawrence odonnell. Alex, why did they make summer shorter this year . I dont know how this happened. Who do you call about the timing of Labor Day . Does it have to be the first . Cant it be the sixth of september . I had about three, four more weeks of summer planned or at least in my head expecting. Here we are. I dont know. It is like daylight savings, the calendar should be open to constructive, a constructive process where we can find dates that work for All Of Us and times that work for All Of Us. Someone around here, i have to turn off my phone, pardon me. Now is the time. Class time is the time to do that. Someone has a tell me what day it is. It is september 15th. Labor day was late this year. Does that make you feel better . That feels much better. Have a great show. Thank you. With 64 days in the campaign, candidates are usually campaigning very hard but not Donald Trump. The laziest president ial campaigner in modern history. Yesterday, there were only 64 campaign days left. Donald trump did nothing. His running mate, james David Vance did nothing. Of course, campaigning on Labor Day isnt easy for republican candidates like Donald Trump and j. D. Vance, who are so antilabor, because they cant say things like this on Labor Day. Everywhere i go, i tell people look, you may not be a Union Member, you better thank a Union Member. For the fiveday workweek. You better thank a Union Member for sick leave, you better thank a Union Member for paid leave. You better thank a Union Member for vacation time. Because, what we know is when Union Wages go up, everybodys wages go up. When Union Workplaces are safer, every workplace is safer. When unions are strong, america is strong. That was Vice President Kamala Harris Campaigning yesterday on Labor Day in detroit before heading to pennsylvania to deliver her prolabor message to a pittsburgh Labor Day audience, where she was joined by president Joe Biden. The president and Vice President s Labor Day began as a workday in the white house, a very serious workday in the Situation Room. President biden released this video yesterday, saying, Vice President harris and i met in the Situation Room with the u. S. Hostage Deal Negotiation Team following the murder of Hersh Goldbergpolin and five other hostages by hamas. We are devastated and outraged. Make no mistake, hamas leaders will pay for these crimes. We also discussed next steps in the ongoing effort to secure the release of hostages and bring them home. Before the meeting in the Situation Room, President Biden said this to reporters. Are you planning to present a final Hostage Deal for both sides this week . We are very close to that. What makes you think this deal will be successful in the way the other deals were not . Hope springs eternal. Mr. President, did you think it is time for benjamin prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to do more . What is your reaction to the demonstrations across israel, what is your reaction to the demonstrations . I will get the detail when i walked in and i will talk to you after that. In israel yesterday, there were mass demonstrations, including a general strike Led By israeli protesters who blamed prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for failing to negotiate the release of all the hostages. The justice department, Led By Attorney General merrick garland, charged six leaders of hamas with disparity to murder u. S. Nationals and other criminal charges in a 38 page Criminal Complaint unsealed today in the southern district of New York. Today, Attorney General garland said the charges unsealed today are one part of our effort to target every aspect of the hamas operations. These actions will not be our last. Donald trump issued written statements on Social Media this weekend blaming Hamass Execution of the hostages on President Biden and Vice President harris. Donald trump never mentioned Benjamin Netanyahu in his public statements. Donald trump did not say whether he agrees with President Biden Benjamin Netanyahu has not done enough to secure the release of the hostages. Donald trump did not say whether he agrees with the israeli people, who say that Benjamin Netanyahu has not done enough to secure the release of the hostages. Donald trump did the same that he looks forward to discussing this issue at the debate next week. But, you can be absolutely certain Donald Trump will not say one coherent sentence about what his policy would be involving israel and hamas. While Donald Trump did nothing on Labor Day, Kamala Harris brought her boss with her to campaign in pennsylvania. We are so proud, so proud of the greatest Job Creation Record of any president in a single term in american history. It was all about jobs and economic development and Joe Bidens Labor Day speech supporting Kamala Harris for president. I will tell you something, Kamala Harris and i are proud we protected the pensions of over 1 Million workers. Union workers have been building american and the structure and building new factories here in america. They told me we couldnt get anything done in infrastructure. 1 trillion, 200 Billion is what we got done. Remember trump for four years promised every Month Infrastructure Week for four years he promised that he he didnt build a thing. Nothing. I mean it, not nothing. Thanks to our infrastructure law, pennsylvania, so far, has received 17 billion. 17 billion. Over 2000 projects, from clean water to affordable highspeed internet for every pennsylvanian. The projects include 858 Million to expand better barges to get goods on shelves faster and more reliably, to create thousands of union jobs. Joe biden was very much at home, campaigning in that Union Hall in pittsburgh. When you are in pittsburgh, to our standing with steelworkers. Lets be clear. I believe in american steel companies. American owned and operated steel companies. Joe biden told the Pittsburgh Audience about what he called the single best decision he made as president. Let me tell you something. I know her. I trust her. Not a joke. I trust her. Number two, the first decision i made, to nominate, selecting her as my Vice President in 2020. By the way, it was the single best decision i made as president of the united states of america. I watched all the x experts in foreign and domestic policy would give us advice and she has a backbone like a ramrod. She has a moral compass of a saint. This woman knows what shes doing. Folks, i promise you, if you elect, harris as president , it will be the best decision you have ever made. Kamala harris believes as i do that unions are the spine of this economy. She would be a historic union president. Folks, weve got one more job to do together. Let me ask you, are you ready to fight . Are we ready to win . Are we ready to elect Kamala Harris, our next president of the united states . And, in the process, are we ready to make Donald Trump a loser again . Ive never been more optimistic about america. We have to remember who we are, we are the america united states of america. There is nothing beyond our capacity. Nothing. When we do it together. That means elects my friend, are great Vice President of the united states, Kamala Harris. Vice president harris Vice President harris began her remarks by thanking the man who introduced her. I have spent more time with this extraordinary Human Being when the cameras were not in the room, when the stakes were high, when the heat was intense and Joe Biden has always stored with the workers of America And Labor unions of america. Always. I say to all of the friends here, the press in the room, history will show what we hear no. Joe biden has been one of the most transcendent president in the united states that we have ever witnessed. And it comes from his heart. Vice president harris outlined the stakes in the election this way. In this election, there are two very different visions for our nation. One, hours, focused on the future. The other, focused on the past. We fight for the future. We fight for a future of dignity, respect, and opportunity for all people. So, we are 64 days out from this election. Ballots in pennsylvania will start dropping in 14 days. But, as we fight to move forward, Donald Trump is trying to pull us backward. That includes back to a time before workers had the freedom to organize. The courts will handle that and we will handle november. How about that . We will handle november. Let the courts handle that other thing. We are not going back. And one of the ways, one of the ways we are going to guarantee we dont go back is we remember, right, it is important to remember what that was and what it is. Remember as president , Donald Trump locked overtime benefits for millions of workers. He opposed efforts to raise the minimum wage. As the president said, he appointed Union Busters to the national labor relations board. And, dont forget he supported socalled right to work laws. If Donald Trump were to be reelected, he intends to give more Tax Cuts to billionaires and big corporations. He intends to cut Social Security and medicare. He wants to impose what in effect, would be a national sales tax. I call it the trump national sales tax, on every day of products and basic necessities that would cost a typical american family, economists have said this, 4000. 00 a year. He intends to repeal the affordable Care Act and take us back to what we remember, because it wasnt that long ago, a time when insurance companies could deny people with preexisting conditions. Remember what that was . Children with asthma we are not we are not going back. Leading Discussion Tonight is quinton folks, principal Deputy Campaign Manager for the Harriswalz Campaign. Thank you very much for joining us again. I have told the audience of this program for most of the last year that they should ignore polls, wait until we get to august, and especially wait until we get to after Labor Day to begin to look at the polls because that is when they begin to reflect a voting reality. Im looking at these Swing State polls and your candidate, Vice President harris, is ahead of Donald Trump in the pretty much all of the Swing States or tied, according to one of these polls, in arizona. What do you expect to see in terms of any more movement in the polls . Is this the way it is going to go from here to the Finish Line with the polls . First of all, thank you for having me along. It is always a pleasure to be with you. What i would say is we will run through the tape. Its going to be an extremely close election and we remain the underdogs in this race, regardless of how it feels out there. The best course of action for our campaign is to continue to do everything we have been doing, campaigning and picking out speaking and communicating to voters about the issues that matter most. Fundamentally, this election is about who is looking out for you. The Vice President has a vision for the future of this country and Donald Trump wants to take us back. We will continue to campaign and make sure we are putting in the work to speak to every single border, both democrats and republicans, because we have a story to tell. We have a vision under the Vice President leadership. We are not focused on what the polls are saying, we will continue to campaign for the next 63 days and make sure we win this thing in november. Mcmillan in american politics knows more about winning Swing States than you do. You helped Senator Raphael Warnock when how many elections in georgia . It was a handful and obviously you can move those skills to other states. As you look at this Swing State map, does it look the way, lets say, the Georgia Electorate looks to you as you were approaching those elections in georgia for Senator Raphael Warnock . It does. Every single one of the states, you know, we treat as individuals. The goal was to get to 270 electoral votes. Our campaign has make sure we have invested in every single one of these estates and built Campaign Apparatuses that can communicate to voters in every single one of the states. We know this will be won and lost on the ground in the states. What i am most proud of is when we are traveling across this country, we are coming outside of the major metro areas, urban areas, where people expect democrats to be, and communicating with voters in smaller markets like savannah. We are doing that across the country in places like arizona, nevada, michigan, pennsylvania because we have to communicate with all voters. In races this take with merchants this then, that is the type of strategy you have to do. You also have to communicate on the issues. I am very proud of the type of attention our campaign pays to states on the individual level to make sure we are talking to voters about things they are feeling and seeing in their everyday lives that Will Motor them as they make their way to the polls and make the decision about who will be elected next president of the united states. Donald Trump And J. D. Vance gave away Labor Day, they gave it to you. They stayed home to do nothing. That seemed to open up the day for your campaign on a very strong economic emphasis and, in particular, Infrastructure Emphasis with the Biden Harris Administration and what they have achieved and what that means for jobs. Is that the way that argument is going to be made for the rest of this campaign . We Cant Control but Donald Trump or j. D. Vance ultimately decide to do. The reason they are not campaigning on days like Labor Day is because they dont have anything to say to american workers. Under Donald Trump, he left this country with fewer jobs than when he came into office. Under Vice President harriss leadership, she and President Biden created 16 Million jobs. The Vice President cast the deciding vote that saved hundreds of thousands of pensions, doubled investments into thousands of investor projects that created jobs across this country. Now, as she is running for president of the united states, she has rolled out economic policies that would do things like lower costs and stop corporations, particularly food suppliers, from Gouging Prices simply because they can. And, in extreme circumstances. She is making sure she is capping the costs of Prescription Drugs and building more affordable housing units in this country to make sure that rent and mortgages are cheaper for americans. That is where her focus is and she has made it clear that middleclass workers and Small Business are going to be the priority of her administration. You are one of the people who manage them transition from the biden for President Campaign to the harris for President Campaign. I must say, managed it so successfully and smoothly. What was it like for you personally to see Joe Biden the there on the Campaign Stage in Pittsburgh Yesterday . The last time you were on this program, you were here for the biden for President Campaign. My first thought is he is as good as i remember. It was great to see him there. The reason why the transition went so smoothly on this campaign is because of President Bidens leadership, his service to the country, making the ultimate sacrifice, putting his money where his mouth is and doing, ultimately, the selfless thing, which Donald Trump knows nothing about. On the flipside of that, Vice President harriss leadership coming in to take over the top of this ticket and how she kept this team together. At The End of the day, we are united behind one common goal and that is to make sure Donald Trump does not get any more power. Yesterday was a very special day for me to see President Biden on the trail. He gave me an opportunity to play politics on this level. For that, i will forever be grateful. My task now and the ultimate thing i can give to him is make sure i am doing everything i can over the next 63 days to make sure i elect Kamala Harris as president of the united states.
