well with only 64 days in a campaign candidates are usually campaigning very hard but not Donald Trump the laziest presidential campaigner in modern history yesterday there were only 64 campaign days left but Donald Trump did nothing and his running mate James Dave Advance did nothing of course campaigning on Labor Day isn't easy for Republican camp Cates like Donald Trump and JD Vance who are so anti- labor because they can't 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 F day work week you better thank a union member for sick Lead You better thank a union member for paid leave you better thank a union member for vacation time [Applause] because what we know is when union wages go up everybody's wages go up when Union workplaces are safer every workplace is safer when unions are strong America is strong that was vice president K Harris campaigning yesterday on Labor Day in Detroit before heading to Pennsylvania to deliver her pro- labor 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 work day in the White House a very serious workday in The Situation Room President Biden released this video yesterday saying quote vice president Harris and I met in the situation room with the US hostage deal negotiation team following the murder of HH Goldberg Poland 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 the uh both sides this week we're very close to that what makes you think that this deal will be successful in a way that the other deals were not hope friends Eternal Mr President if do you think it's time for prime minister Netanyahu to do more on this issue do you think he's doing enough no Mr President what is your reaction to the demonstrations across Israel what is your reaction to the demonstrations I'm going to get the detail when I walk into I'll talk you after that okay 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 mer Garland charged six leaders of Hamas with conspiracy to murder us 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 just one part of our effort to Target every aspect of hamas's operations these actions will not be our last Donald Trump issued uh written statements on social media this weekend blaming hamas's 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 that 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 say that he looks forward to discussing this issue at the debate next week but you can be absolutely certain that 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 kamla Harris brought her boss with her to campaign in Pennsylvania K 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 in Joe Biden's Labor Day speech supporting kamla Harris for president I'll tell you something kamla damn proud that we predicted the pensions of over 1 million workers retire union workers rebuilding American infrastructure and building new factories here in America they told me we couldn't get any thing done in infrastructure a trillion 20000 billion dollar we got done remember Trump for four years promised every month infrastructure week for four years he promised that he didn't build a damn thing nothing I mean not nothing well thanks to our infrastructure Law Pennsylvania so far has received $17 billion $7 billion over 2,000 projects from clean water to affordable highspeed internet for every Pennsylvanian thank you the projects in include $858 million to expand the Montgomery lock better accommodate bigger barges to get millions of tons of goods and Sh shelves FAS and more reliable and create thousands of union jobs Joe Biden was very much at home campaigning in that Union Hall in Pittsburgh when you're in Pittsburgh you're standing with steel workers let's 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 about this [Applause] I know her I trust her not a joke I trust her number two the first decision I made to Nomine his nominee in 2020 was selecting her as my vice president that's by the way it was the single best decision I made as president of the United States of America I've watched it with all the experts foreign and domestic polic would give us advice then we sit alone in a room and she has a backbone like a ram rod she has the moral compass of a saint this woman knows what she's doing folks I promise you if you elect KL Harris as president will be the best is in you will have ever made me as I do the unions are the spine of this economy right she'll be historic pro-union president yeah so folks we got one more job to do together let me ask you are you ready to fight are you ready to win are you ready to let KL Harris our next president of United States of America and in the process are you ready to make Donald Trump a loser again I've never been more optimistic about America you we have to remember who we are we're the United States of America there's nothing nothing I mean is from the bottom of my heart there's nothing beyond our capacity nothing when we do it together and that means like like my friend our great vice president of pres United States Kamala Harris [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] qu [Applause] vice president Harris began her remarks by thanking the man who introduced her and 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 stood with the workers of America and labor unions of America always always and I say to all of the friends here the Press that's in the room history will show what we here know Joe Biden has been one of the most transformative presidents 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 you know in this election there are two very different Visions for our nation sure one ours focused on the future the other focused on the [Music] past we fight for the future we fight for a future of dignity respect and opportunity for all people so we're 64 days out from this [Music] [Applause] 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 including back to a time before workers had the freedom to organize he's going to jail well the courts will handle that and we will handle November how about that we'll handle November let the courts handle that other thing but we're not going [Applause] back not going back not going back not going back and not going back and one of the ways one of the ways we're going to guarantee we don't go back is that we remember right it is important to remember what that was and what it is remember as president Donald Trump blocked 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 don't forget he supported so-called right to work laws and 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 tag I call it the Trump National sales taag on everyday products and basic necess ities that would cost a typical American Family The Economist have said this almost $4,000 a year he intends to repeal the Affordable Care Act and take us back to what we remember cuz it wasn't that long ago was a time when insurance companies could deny people with pre-existing conditions you remember what that was children with asthma breast cancer survivors grandparents would die abetes well look America has tried those failed policies before and we are not going [Applause] back we are not going [Applause] back e
