>>> TAYLOR INDUCTED ME INTO THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME AND SHE SANG MY SONG "WILL YOU LOVE ME TOMORROW" SO I HAVE TO GO "PLAYERS GONNA PLAY, PLAY, PLAY, PLAY ♪" ♪ HATERS GONNA HATE, HATE, HATE ♪ ♪ BABY, I'M JUST GOING TO SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE ♪ ♪ I SHAKE IT OFF, I SHAKE IT OFF ♪♪ >>> THAT WAS MUSIC LEGEND CAROLE KING COVERING SOME TAYLOR SWIFT AS YOU JUST HEARD DURING A SWIFTIES FOR KAMALA FUNDRAISING CALL LAST NIGHT. THE EVENT WAS NOT ORGANIZED BY THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN OR SWIFT'S TEAM BUT IT COMES AFTER OTHER GROUPS HELD SIMILAR CALLS INCLUDING WHITE DUDES FOR HARRIS, DEAD HEADS FOR HARRIS AND CAT LADIES FOR KAMALA. PROUD SWIFTIE AND DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN CHRIS DELUZIO OF PENNSYLVANIA WAS ALSO ON THAT CALL LAST NIGHT. CONGRESSMAN, I WILL ASK YOU NOT TO SING, BUT WE ARE GRATEFUL THAT YOU ARE HERE. TELL US JUST ABOUT THIS ORGANIZING EFFORT AND HOW IT REPRESENTS THIS SORT OF GROWING EXCITEMENT ON THE GRASSROOTS LEVEL FOR THE DEMOCRATS' NEW NOMINEE. >> JONATHAN, GOOD TO SEE YOU. THANKS FOR NOT ASKING ME TO SING, I THINK YOU WOULD LOSE SOME VIEWERS FAST. LOOK, THE CALL WAS FUN BUT ALSO SERIOUS, YOU HAD MORE THAN 30,000 FOLKS COME ON, COMMITTED TO DOING ORGANIZING WORK. THERE WAS A LOT OF FUN BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF JOY. I THINK IT TELLS YOU SOMETHING ABOUT OUR POLITICS. YOU HAVE TO MEET FOLKS WHERE THEY ARE AND GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN, SOME REASON TO HAVE JOY AND HAPPINESS OF DOING THE HARD WORK OF POLITICS. I SAW IT ON THE CALL, THEY HAD A GREAT TIME AND STEPPED UP TO DO SOME THINGS TO HELP DEMOCRATS WIN UP AND DOWN THE TICKET. IT WAS A FUN AND INSPIRING EVENT. >> CONGRESSMAN, GOOD MORNING, IT'S ALEXI McCAMMOND. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS A FUN CALL. I'M WONDERING IF YOU CAN SHARE FOR US HOW YOU THINK THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN CAN TURN THIS INTO SOMETHING LONGER LASTING THAN JUST A MOMENT WITH THE SWIFTIES ESPECIALLY AFTER WE SAW THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN PUT OUT THAT FAKE AI ENDORSEMENT FROM TAYLOR SWIFT. >> IT HELPS WHEN YOU ARE A CANDIDATE OF A PARTY WHO BELIEVES IN PEOPLE'S FREEDOM, WHO BELIEVE THAT WOMEN SHOULD MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICES ABOUT THEIR PREGNANCIES AND HEALTH AND FAMILIES AND WHEN YOU ARE FIGHTING TO BRING DOWN COSTS ON CORPORATE PRICE GOUGERS. LOOK, YOU HAVE TO EMBRACE WHEN THERE'S ENTHUSIASM AND THERE IS RIGHT NOW. I HEARD IT IN THE INTRO TO THIS INTERVIEW ABOUT NOT JUST SWIFTIES FOR KAMALA, BUT WHITE DUDES AND DEAD HEADS AND WHOEVER ELSE. YOU KNOW, WHERE THERE'S ORGANIZING ENERGY YOU HAVE TO EMBRACE IT AND GIVE PEOPLE THE RESOURCES TO DO IT AND TO DRIVE THAT ENTHUSIASM TO TURN IT INTO ACTION, MAKING CALLS, TEXTS, DOOR KNOCKING, ALL THE THINGS THAT GO INTO THE HARD WORK OF WINNING ELECTIONS AND I THINK THIS CAMPAIGN AND MINE AND OTHERS ARE DOING EXACTLY THAT. >> CONGRESSMAN, YOU APPEARED WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT AND TIM WALZ AT AN EVENT EARLIER THIS MONTH. SHE'S GOING TO BE BACK IN PENNSYLVANIA ON LABOR DAY, I'M SURE SHE WILL BE THERE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. WHEN YOU SPEAK TO THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE TO THEM ABOUT WHICH PARTS OF THE STATE TO TARGET AND HOW TO REACH PEOPLE WHO AREN'T JUST IN URBAN AREAS WHO MAY BE LEANING DEMOCRATIC ALREADY? >> WELL, I HAVE THE GREAT PRIVILEGE OF REPRESENTING WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, I'VE BEEN CLEAR, I THINK THEY HAVE TO SPEND TIME IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, YOU SAW THEM THERE ABOUT A WEEK OR SO AGO AND WE WERE IN THE WEST HILLS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY IN BEAVER COUNTY. THESE ARE PLACES WHERE DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS COMPETE FOR VOTES AND YOU SAW GOVERNOR WALZ AND VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS JOIN ME, SENATOR CASEY AND OTHERS. IT SHOWS THEY UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE TO WORK TO EARN THOSE VOTES. I'M GOING TO KEEP DOING THAT IN MY DISTRICT BUT IT'S NICE TO SEE THE TOP OF THE TICKET LISTEN AND LOOK FOR VOTES IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA WHERE FRANKLY WE'RE FIGHTING HARD TO TAKE ON CORPORATE PRICE GOUGING, STAND UP FOR OUR FREEDOM. THOSE ARE MESSAGES THAT CAN WIN IN WESTERN PA AND NICE TO SEE THE TOP OF THE TICKET UNDERSTAND THAT. >> YOU NEED TO HIT SHOTS SHEETZ AND PRIMANTI BROTHERS AND THEY DID BOTH. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING. >>> TURNING TO BUSINESS, WHILE AUGUST HAS BEEN A PRETTY VOLATILE MONTH FOR THE
