5:00 am
yells at cloud too. old man yells at candy bars and i don't think the american people saw it saw at the way they want they want to describe, what do you have a fundraising bump though? >> and look, we've got we've got a heck of allowing we've got a heck of a long time which is my final question. how do you make a rematch that 70% of the voting population didn't want to see. and now one of the longest general elections, anyone's going to see. >> how do you make that not feel that way? >> listen, there are >> stages of you have written, they really have political purposes or for tv >> i really do mean this little strategy you have to start thinking about this. >> there, there are stages of grief and america will go through some anger, will go through some denial, will go through some bargaining like, you know, third-party candidate, could it happen? and then they will accept because there is a long time, we'll have some time to get used to this. and eventually it will
5:01 am
sink in that these are the people we have to choose from, and we have ourselves to blame for this total lack of imagination to think of everyone at home thinking what stage of grief is it when i went john or on television. >> thank you. i >> thank you for coming in, sir. appreciate the next hour of cnn news central starts now the kremlin says >> it is ready for nuclear war. russian president vladimir putin issues a stark warning to the us saying any us troops on the ground in ukraine will come with dire consequences b. eovaldi, police chief suddenly submitted his resignation just days after the city's independent port cleared local officials. local officers of wrongdoing in the horrific elementary school massacre, and a possible end two hours of scrolling in tiktok okay, content creators say maybe millions of small businesses, house lawmakers set to vote on a bill this morning that could
5:02 am
ban the popular app in the united i'm john berman with kate bolduan. sara is off today. this is cnn news central this will backfire. that is the new warning from china just hours before the house is expected to vote on a bill that could ban tiktok in the united states. with legislation on the floor would force the chinese parent company to sell tiktok in five-and-a-half months. if that is not done and it would be banned from us app stores. tiktok says the bill is an infringement on free speech and could have a devastating impact on small businesses. i speak with one small business owner and tiktok creator, just a few minutes ago if you vote for this ban, you are voting against them. first amendment. in my way of freedom of speech.
5:03 am
you are voting against my small business. you are voting against me getting a slice of my american pie. so i will have to say this will highly influenced who i vote for, especially in november. >> so the bill does need a two-thirds majority to pass the house, which would require support from both sides of the aisle than it would advance to the senate where it is on shaky grounds. cnn's lauren fox is on capitol hill. we just heard some of the fierce lobbying effort against eric swalwell from california told me he's a no vote a little while ago. where do things stand in the house where it would take a two-thirds vote? well, >> obviously, house leadership is confident that they are going to have the votes to move this bill forward, or they wouldn't be bringing it under a suspension of the rules. like, as you noted, will require them to get two thirds of a majority of the house of representatives to advance this legislation. look, this is one of those rare i've bipartisan moments in the house of
5:04 am
representatives, especially as lawmakers in the republican and democratic parties are poised to support this bill today. now, the future in the senate is much less certain yesterday. chuck schumer, who is the democratic majority leader, he made clear he is still looking at the bill and there are some democrats who are warning that moving forward with this legislation could hurt biden's chances with young voters. here's what they said. >> i don't think it'll be helpful with young voters, but my argument here, yes, it has to do with young people, but taking a step back, i just think it's bad policy since for politics is addition, multiplication coming out a large group of young voters is not the best known strategy for reelection >> one factor to watch today, john is the impact that donald trump has had over this legislation. while many house republican leaders have made clear, they're backing this included elise stefanik. trump
5:05 am
has been less enthusiastic. does that have an effect on the vote total today does not have an effect on some of those hard-line conservatives were gonna be watching. and we'll let you know, john. >> look, you say house leadership is confident it's bringing it to the floor for the vote. but counting hasn't always been there. strong point. i'll say euphemistically, lauren fox, keep us posted. what you hear. thank you very much >> okay. again, you are so presumptuous joining us right now to talk more about this as chris krebs, former director of the us cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency during the trump administration, it's good to see you again, chris talk to me about what do you think of this bill? what do you think of this move by congress? >> well, i think lauren nailed it right. i mean, there are very few items right now on either chambers of congress that have bipartisan support in this clear, the energy and commerce committee unanimously 50 to zero, that that never happens these days. and so it shows me that there is very
5:06 am
strong support in the house, so i believe the vote happens about 10:15 a.m. eastern today. i assume it's going to pass. and then as lauren pointed out, it'll it'll go to the senate where it is on shaky ground for a number of different reasons. this is including the fact that the senate doesn't always like working off house paper, but it does give the senate and opportunity to take a look at some of i think what are likely legal challenges down the road and perhaps take a stronger bill to the floor should leader schumer? take that route >> i guess one of the overarching questions i would have beyond the specific bill chris, is when you're looking at the landscape of the potential national security threats of specifically tiktok. do you think something needs should be done when it comes to the national security risks? posed by this app. >> and the, and, and the parent company. >> look, i think we lose sight of the bigger objectives of the national security community, whether it's in the administration or in the congress just due to daily news
5:07 am
cycles. but if you step back and look at the last 2345 years, there is a consistent, ongoing push back against aggression from the communist party of china. and it's particularly acute this pushback in the digital domain, whether it's cyber or pushback against technology companies like huawei and now you have tiktok is, i look at the risks that the administration and again, congress are focused on it's of a dual nature. one is the data collection and access and the other is the algorithms in of themselves and how they can influence the users. i, you know, my suggestions as i've talked to whether it's the committee that developed this is focused on the clearer threat of the data collection in the privacy issues rather than the algorithm. i think that's where they're going to get in longer-term first amendment challenges. they are trying to pretty narrowly focused yes, on the economic
5:08 am
transactions that happen at the app level with google and apple but if you really do look it, i think the data collection and the data access by chinese personnel in china, which tiktok and bytedance had admitted to several times the that's probably their strongest chance of success because of the national security interests. >> i want to play for everyone. i know you probably seen it, but i'm play for everyone. this was part of the annual threat assessment that's provided by the us intelligence agencies. it's an it presented to congress and the public every year. i want to play some of what we heard from the director of national intelligence and the fbi director on this director haines, you cannot rule out that the ccp could again, just like they did here use tiktok as a platform to influence 2020 2024 elections, right? >> we cannot rule out that the ccp could use it >> correct. >> and if they said we want you to put out videos that make americans fight with each other or spread conspiracy theories and get them at each other's
5:09 am
throat bytedance doesn't have it can't go to a chinese court and fight the communist party. they would have to do it >> that's my understanding, and i would just add that that kind of influence operation or the different kinds of influence operations you're describing are extraordinarily difficult to detect, which is part of what makes the national security concerns represented by by tiktok so significant >> chris, how do you think the threats to election security specifically? look now compared to eight years ago? >> look so first off, those videos were those clips were tuesday and monday respectively. and on monday, the director of national intelligence released the intelligence communities worldwide threat assessment that specifically called out propaganda arms of the ccp that attempted to influence the 2022 midterms so this is not theoretical. this is here, this is now this is happening and it will only accelerate in my view, going into 2024 and it's
5:10 am
not just china, right? it's russia, it's i ran in that is one of the challenges is that while the ccp hat potentially has the ability to tweak the algorithms and put their thumb on the scale. it's another vehicle or another mechanism for those in russia and elsewhere. the biggest problem though, it is not just a tiktok problem. this is a much larger issue with platforms that are under the subversive country for all of our adversaries. and this may include platforms like telegram, but also wechat. i think that was discussed previously. that we need to keep an eye on. we have to look at what are the data security implications and then the broader threats to hear in democracy in the us chris, it's great to have you on for some perspective on this. thank you for coming in. >> thanks so much >> so new information this morning about the blown door panel on the terrifying alaska airlines flight maintenance schedule. now, for that very

5:16 am
january, leaving a gaping hole. alaska airlines says the plane was scheduled to undergo maintenance that same night after a completed several flights, the airline told the new york times that the boeing 737 max was going to be taken out of service to look into warning lights. those lights lit up twice over the ten days before the dog door plug tore off. the ntsb said that had to do with pressurization in is unrelated to the blowup the ntsb will hold a rare public hearing in august. we're boeing officials could be subpoenaed to testify with us. now cnn safety analyst and former faa safety inspector david soucie. so david, the plane was scheduled for this maintenance because they were concerned about something. yet it's still took off and had some other flights it was going to do how unusual is that? you have this this scheduled delayed maintenance >> well, it depends on the severity of the threat, john. and obviously the impact of this threat wasn't assessed, right? it's easy to look back
5:17 am
though and say have 2020 vision, we have to understand that however, in this case, the decision returned to service, i think was a poor decision. i think they should have done something more, but i wasn't there. so it's hard to judge that decision at that moment. >> you weren't there, but you are experienced in inspecting and talking about this kind of thing. so boeing has can be part of this rare public hearing in august. what what what do you well, first of all, how rare is that >> the fact that boeing would be part of that, is it just shows how extensive this goes. it was a mistake that started way back when these bolts weren't put in and it continued to property the gate itself in the decisions that air alaska made later returning the aircraft to service after they had these indicator lights, they checked into it, they didn't find anything, but it kept going and going. it just this threat just went right through all the safety mechanisms that are in place. and the fact that it's being
5:18 am
investigated from the beginning to the end is admirable think it has to be done to prevent this from happening again. >> what would you ask? what are the crucial things that need to be learned at this hearing and elsewhere >> well, here's the first thing i would ask. their vice president ted. well and charges safety's keep standing behind the fact that they didn't meet our criteria for grounding the aircraft had happened three two times and they said it takes three to happen. well, all well and good. if that's your decision, however, you need to look at that process, you need to introspectively look at yourself as an airline and say, is that the right thing to do? he's standing behind we did the right thing because it was accordance with our processes. but if your processes are wrong, that's not going to to help anybody. it has to be fixed and that's where it concerns me. is this introspective look does not appear to be happening, and i hope congress enforces that it does >> i took two flights this past weekend. both were on boeing 737 max jets and i did it
5:19 am
because that's just what i do. but should i have been concerned, should passengers be concerned about being on these planes >> you know, john, that's a really good question. a lot of people are asking it. i've even asked it myself, myself, but the fact is there's nothing wrong engineering-wise with what's going on here. we have to understand these are human failures. you human things that have happened in millions and millions of flights every single day and to start being ultra focused on this, we have to be cautious about, about having conclusion bias. in other words, if you're looking for something to be unsafe, it will be unsafe in your mind. so we have to make sure that you're looking at this in a broad scope and understand that it's still is the safest system in the world? you're safer on an airplane. you are pretty much anywhere else there anything else you do so keep that in mind. i don't think there's any urgency to start making reactions and avoiding these jets at this point >> david soucie, great to see you this morning. thank you so much. >> so his police force was just cleared in a controversial report on their response arms to the uvalde school massacre.

5:25 am
going to be worried about with us now, cnn senior data reporter harry and into an extent books, right? this isn't about the numbers as much as what you the issue of disgust and how many of the members who are there just are hating being there right now. >> it's exactly right. am we're not done. we've only just begun. all right, here we go. us house retirements, resignations, and other people leaving for personal reasons in fact, it's 24 republicans but it's slightly more democrats. it's 25 here. it's a pox on both of their houses. john, this is what you're getting at, folks simply put, do not want to be there and we often talk about folks not wanting to be there. but the fact is in this particular clear, it is a bipartisan effort. yes, there have been a ton of republicans, but there have also been a ton of democrats who are saying screw this. >> we're done how unprecedented is this? yeah. so oftentimes you hear about all folks are not happy with being in the house. they're not happy with being in congress.
5:26 am
everybody hates us, et cetera, et cetera. so this is congress. congresses with at least 20 house member leaving this early announcing that they're leaving this early from both parties. so 21 from the democrats, 20 plus from the republicans, since all way back in 2006, there's only been one time where that has occurred and that is less particular. congress 2024, 2023, 2024. and there have been no other since 2006. so we're often hearing about how bad congress has r. but this is historically bad in terms of folks we're leaving, yet they are just absolutely fed on. so john just this has never happened before. you've never seen this many from both parties leaving, which tells you something usually the party that think is going to lose control, they flee because no one likes to be in the minority. in this case. it's both parties. the question is, why, what is it about what's happening or not happening? that seems to be you know, dissing them awesome. yeah. what is so perturbing to them? how about this? we often say congress and washington simply
5:27 am
put, doesn't work well. if it doesn't work, it's not working to historic degree right now, right? bills and resolutions that become law at this point in congresses since 1,973 the prior law was 85. that was a decade ago. all right. >> look at where we are through this >> congress, just 42, about half the level that we of the prior law of bills congress has actually going into effect and so you're going to yourself wait a minute, why am i putting up with all this garbage from congress person? because the factors we're not doing anything, you know, we've often talked about all these house parliamentary procedures that we haven't been hearing about that since forever. but just coming down to the basics, that basics of actually doing their jobs. they're not able to do their jobs, so they're going why are we sticking around for this? >> and how do people view the jobs that they are doing? yeah, exactly right. so it's not just that they're not able to do their jobs. there. these are thankless jobs. this is what's really cooking as well. americans views of congress, just 12% of americans approve
5:28 am
of the job congress is doing according to a recent gallup poll 83% micah discretion, she can barely get 83% of americans to agree on anything disapprove of the job that congress is doing. this 12% john is the lowest since 2015. so what you're getting is folks who can't do their jobs and then their thankless jobs as well. and that my friend is a bipartisan effort, but i'm glad that we're able to do for jobs together. >> know that this is bad combination. this is a rough combination for them. listen to what ken buck is saying. from colorado there because it's instructive as to the feelings in the house right now you got it, right, buddy. okay. may i pipe it on one thing? what would often comes with that last slide that you guys have is often that people despise congress as a whole. but if you ask them specifically about their member of congress they seem to approve of them more and i wonder what that looks like now, i'm not entirely sure we have all that data, but i do wonder if even that is shifting given how bad it is. >> you know, it's so funny. i
5:29 am
do sprint spent a lot of time in the spreadsheets and i can still tell you that most of the polling, it is a little above 50%, but it's not that far. 50%. most members of congress are going to get reelected comes from this november. if they decide to run but it's just that general feeling. i think folks just being you go out there and like all my congressman, i want it would be afraid to announce that it was a congressman given the feelings that folks have towards them thank you. >> go i got for us, washed away a half million dollar investment designed to protect beach front homes from climate change. the effects of climate change proves defenseless against climate change. and rats destroying evidence at one police department. and it's becoming an unexpected drug problem >> major rodents now on the floor, the cockroaches, the rach at nar marijuana. they're all hot what happened to the golden boy of new jersey?

5:34 am
submarines, build something stronger together, securing decades of peace and prosperity for america and our allies. we are going and staying forward together. >> i'm lauren fox on capitol hill, and this is cnn all right, new developments in uvalde, texas were the police chief. they're just quit his job. chief daniel rodriguez announced his sudden resignation just days after an investigative report exonerated local police and the 2022 robb elementary school massacre that killed 19 children and two teachers. that decision has infuriated the community but rigorous has been police chief since 2018. it was not in uvalde at the time of the school shooting. he was on vacation, but he did appoint the acting chief that day and has stood by the officers who failed to take action in the moment. cnn shimon prokupecz, who has been following the story from the beginning, is with us now how much of this resignation come out of nowhere? shimon
5:35 am
>> it did come out of nowhere. i saw the chief last thursday at that hearing where they basically cleared all the officers. i spoke to him on thursday, everything seemed fine. he indicated to me that he was actually going to be back last night at another city council hearing, prepared to talk about some of the changes in the department and then suddenly just out of nowhere we get word that he was planning to resign. he issued a statement through the department on facebook saying he was essentially resigning because he just felt it was time to move on. the department has been taking a lot of heat community obviously suffering. and he thought perhaps maybe somehow this could move things in a different direction. well, that's not really the case because the families are still demanding that other office for crs either resign or be fired. now, there was another city council hearing last night where families were expecting to get some answers to this report that cleared officers that did not happen. the city council essentially came in and answered none of the families questions. obviously, there was
5:36 am
a lot of frustration from the family members. one of those family members speaking out >> this is very disappointing that we won't get any answers. but, you know, par for the course, apparently. i do want to say though, that while we're here doing this there's a family out there that is celebrating their child's 12th birthday today at the cemetery and you still can't give us it's answers >> and at that city council hearing, none of the people that were sitting there before these family members took any questions or they did not answer anything. yesterday was a very difficult day for those families we members, they were expecting to get answers. we tried to get answers. we tried to catch up with the city attorney, paul tarski. he has been involved in that report that came out and clear the
5:37 am
officers. we tried to ask him questions after the hearing, he refused to take a look >> what kind of >> assurance can you give to the family that the city is in charge of this report know that it's not tml chloride no. >> rodriguez what kind of assurance can you hear? >> no comment. >> this is not happening. no comment because you understand that you're out of my wife one. >> point. there you can see he pushed our camera out of the way and then he left. the one thing i've learned here in the last almost two years of covering the story is that most of the people here do not want to answer questions and it's been a very difficult process for the family members the other big question for them is who is behind this report? ford, who was sort of driving it, who was responsible for
5:38 am
overseeing it and putting it together. and there's are a lot of questions here, john, over that, and that is something that the families they're trying to get answers to. the city council says that at some point they will come back and answer the families questions. they just need more time, but families are not buying that. starting today, some of them plan to protest outside the uvalde police department demanding that officers be fired >> shimon prokupecz. we are lucky to have you he there and i know the community. and by that, i especially mean the families are grateful that you are there. thank you so much for your reporting. >> the days before russia's so-called election day better described as a putin coronation, the russian leader is talking to state media and throwing around new threat it's new nuclear threats and new warnings against us and polish troops against them ever entering ukraine. and overnight ukraine conducted strikes on three of russia's largest oil refineries. ukraine's largest drone attacks since russia first invaded let's get over to

cnn's fred pleitgen. he has more on this and fred, what are you learning about these strikes >> either kate was some of the appear to be pretty long distance strikes and something that the ukrainians have been trying to conduct more of as they suffer those ammunition shortages, of course, also with aid from the us lacking despite that 300 million package that was announced yesterday. these specific strikes the russians overnight saying that they shot down 58 ukrainian drones. so by far the largest strike the ukrainians would have ever really conducted onto a russian territory the russian saying they took most of those drones down. however, it does appear though some of them have hit their target there was a big oil refinery in the town of rezan, which is really just south of moscow. i've actually been there quite a number of times. and that apparently was hit. there was a large fire that was video that came out from there afterwards. there was also one in the st. petersburg region that's very far away from ukrainian territory. so we can see more of those long distance strikes
5:40 am
conducted by the ukrainians kate and on, and on putin's new threats and the new interview that he was doing on state media. what really was his message >> well i think first and foremost is messages for domestic consumption's there obviously a lot of russians who are suffering the economic fallout and of course, also the military fallout of that really stalled campaign that he has going in ukraine, despite the fact that the russians have the initiative parts of the battlefield, so essentially saying, look russia strong, russia as at the very least on par with the united states and anybody who messes with russia, a could face nuclear armageddon. he did say that the troops were ready at any point in time, then sort of walking that back a little bit and saying that so far, none of that has happened. so that was definitely the message to the domestic consumption, to the people at home ahead of that election that you were talking about before, which of course happened in the next couple of days. but then of course the message also to the united states is also one that he weaved in there as well, calling for the us to negotiate with the russians rather than face a standoff with a nuclear
5:41 am
armed country. kate fred, thank you so much. >> it's good to >> see john. >> all right. with me now is blend klitschko, his brother, vitaly klitschko is the mayor of kyiv. thank you so much for being with us. you hear vladimir putin talking about russia's nuclear power in its nuclear readiness why do you think he's doing that >> well, we all know that threatening and letting the so-called free world to surrender and stop supporting ukraine obviously, we do know that not just the east of the country has ten years ago they were, has started and annexation of crimea putin's russia will continue conquering more land, more countries if ukraine fails if ukraine will lose this war other countries are in the line. the ambitions of rebuilt so-called back then,
5:42 am
soviet empire are still there. and this is serious threat for all of us in europe and the united states >> right now, there are billions of dollars in aid from the united states it's being held up in the us congress, the republican house speaker mike johnson, has not helped put that bill on the floor of the house. what's your message to mike johnson this morning? what's your message to the republicans who right now or standing in the way of aid to ukraine we need to stand together, republicans and democrats here in the us. we need to stand against this senseless war in ukraine. we need to defend ukraine and make ukraine stronger. there is no strong europe without the war in ukraine and strong ukraine with europe is going to make united states of america week. we stand together against this senseless war. if we fail, we're not going to be the last
5:43 am
and it is important to keep on supporting ukraine, not in a little bit. thank you very much for the support of 300 million that received, but we do understand that this money is a band-aid on a very deep wound and probably in short period of time, we'll need more support. but i also want to say to americans, all the money that they're going to be released for ukraine. there are no american soldiers or nato soldiers going to be in ukraine. we're gonna do the job. we just need the tools we need that support and we need the weapons to defend our lives and our country 90% of the financial assets but it can be as aid for ukraine going to remain in this country. and that is states and stimulate local economy we just need the weapons that you don't need. they're not as sophisticated as you can produce new ones. so i just want to say, if we're not going to get enough and how much is enough? it's never enough until this senseless

wars still go and we need to make ukraine strong to make the western world the so-called free world, strong so donald trump met with hungarian leader viktor orban. orban said this of trump after the meeting, quote, he will not give a penny in the ukraine, russia war. that is why the war will end how concerned are you that whoever wins this election, if it is donald trump, that aid will just come to a complete stop. >> i don't want to commend any any rumors. she said he said you know, politics and campaigning. and these year 2024 is going to be an important new year in the life in this world. in general, lots of presidents, presidential elections that must take place, will take place in ukraine as well as the united states and russia and so on. so this year

5:51 am
in the new normal for coastal residents really all over the country. but this is picturise salisbury beach massachusetts. we're right near the new hampshire border here. and for generations, the folks who've been coming here have watched high tide creep closer and closer to these homes year by year, foot by foot because the state refuses to replenish dunes on private property over 100 homeowners kick together after a series of big storms, really took away their defense system and they pulled together their money spent $600,000 on 15,000 tons of sand to try to fortify things. some homeowners opted in. like you can see here, this is what's left of the dune after the last storm, some did not this home was exposed and as a result, that storm sent waves into living room of this house. a lot of the staircases and jetties and he sorts of things were destroyed in this last storm. >> but about over half of >> that $600,000 investment
5:52 am
washed away in a single storm and now so these folks have no idea what to do next. they're hoping the state might kick in and start paying for this, but it really gets to the heart of who pays to defend these kinds of communities at a time when the seas are just getting higher and higher officially, the state of massachusetts juices is bracing for up to two-and-a-half feet of sea level rise by the middle of the century, by 2050. this is just the result of less than a foot of sea level rise over the last set country k, >> one, it is absolutely beautiful. there to see that and know that it's just under such threat is such a sad thing. and two, you raise something really interesting bill. it's not just how do we protect against and so the effects of climate change, it now really is a question of who pays for
5:53 am
>> a brunt of the tax base for the local community. the property taxes here help pay for the cops and the titers. so if we condemn this and retreat from it, what happens next? this is the really tough conversation that's going to be happening more frequently a coastal towns everywhere it's sort of the haves and have-nots when it comes to sand, who has the sand who doesn't, who will pay the price of that as a result here they say a flood insurance is relatively expensive, about $2,500 a year in other places, it is prohibitively expensive massachusetts does not allow dredging sand from a below of the waves and pumping on shore for environmental concerns turns they want to revisit that as a future conversation. but
5:54 am
this is a real crossroads k for so many folks on the coast >> so interesting, so complicated. and on and clearly urgent and necessary at the very same time, bill, thank you so much. it's good to see you jump, right. >> the us is deploying a marine >> anti-terrorism unit to haiti as widespread gang violence flares, their us southern command says the move was to support security at the us embassy in port-au-prince dozens of artists and speakers are backing out of the south by southwest festival and protests over major event sponsors. the mid the war between israel and hamas, us army is one of the six super sponsors of south by southwest. and at least three of the festivals, events had been sponsored by companies with ties, the defense industry, those canceling share notes of solidarity online with palestinians in gaza. organizers said in a series of

5:57 am
international brotherhood of teamsters, one of the largest labor unions in the world, with over 1 million members joining us now is a general president of the teamsters sean o'brien. sean, thank you so much for coming in. the vp, laurie, the teamsters was on cnn last night with erin burnett and said that he feels pretty certain that biden is going to get the endorsement of the union. >> do you feel the same way? >> look, we've got a lot of due diligence to do with our members. we got 1.3 million members and their input is very important and unfortunately that vice president doesn't represent any members and he seems to want to rush the process. our members deserve the respect to have input on who they want leading this country. >> moving forward. >> what, is the most important issue for the union and your members right now when it comes to the candidate you eventually endorsed we have a lot of lot of issues out there. one of the biggest issues we have is this national right to work push, which we don't support. we want to pass the pro act, so it makes it easy to organize new
5:58 am
members and get first collective bargaining agreement. and we need to revamp bankruptcy law, reform in this country >> and i know that you're not going to talk about the same. do diligence and members deserve the respect to hear more from the candidates before you endorse. the union has endorsed against donald trump twice in past elections, what would he have to do? to change that? this third go round? >> well, i think any candidate that's looking for our endorsement has to support all of our issues. we brought in every single presidential candidate and asked them the exact same questions. and if they want are endorsement, they've got to support a fight against national right to work. they got to support a pro act. they going to support bankruptcy you see law reform. they're going to support all of our issues or else they will not get the endorsement. and, you know, in the past, it's been a given that we've always gone with a candidate democratic candidate, and joe biden has done a lot for the unions. he has done a lot of pensions but you know, what we've done in the past
5:59 am
doesn't dictate where we're going in the future sure. with any candidates. so we've got to be this is going to be our toughest decision is going to be our most important decision. and it can't be rushed. >> joe biden calls himself the most pro-union president ever. >> why is the >> decision this decision, this election, the most important do you think? for you >> guys, what's know we've got to the teamsters have a very diverse membership. >> i mean, we don't >> only have democrats member of democratic members, we have independence, we have republicans and look societies changed a whole lot since ten years ago and we want to make sure that whoever we pick, if we pick someone has our core mission and our values and our strategy moving forward on how we're going to be successful, looked unions built this middle-class and we want to make sure that we're respected and also we have a voice should all let me ask you for president biden, the teamsters endorsement. it really is seem seen as having an outsized
6:00 am
impact. in key battleground states. wisconsin for one, michigan, pennsylvania, among others. >> do you agree with that analysis? do you think the teamsters endorsement could decide whether joe biden wins in those states or not. >> i definitely think our endorsement is crucial. we've proven in our ups campaigns, contract fight anheuser-busch. our members vote, our members get out there and our members will support the candidate that we recommend and that they recommend. more importantly, we are very, very vital in this upcoming election. >> talk to me about timing. the teamsters traditionally don't endorse until after conventions. that would be late summer. >> do you think that's the >> same time frame you're looking at this time around because if you thought it would have more of an impact, would you endorse sooner >> look, we're going to have the same impact whether we endorsed sooner or later. the one good thing about our members and our organization, we've proven that we can mobilize on a short
