This is our generation's defining moment.

The money is there.

The cause is righteous.

The world is watching.

And the UAW is ready to stand up.

This is our defining moment.

A historic strike is underway this morning.

For the first time ever,

the United Auto Workers are taking on Detroit's Big Three all at the same time.

We'll get into that.

Also ahead, we'll break down the new federal charges for Hunter Biden

and bring you the response from the White House.

Plus, what Donald Trump had to say about the possibility of issuing himself a pardon.

Good morning and welcome to way too early on this Friday, September 15th. I'm Jonathan Lamere.

Thanks for starting your day with us. And we'll begin this morning with tens of thousands of

United Auto Workers hitting the picket lines. The Union officially went on strike against

Detroit's big three automakers at midnight. Nearly 13,000 members walked out of three plants in Missouri, Ohio,

and in Michigan. The strike is against General Motors, Ford, and Stalantus. The union and the

companies failed to reach a deal on a new collective bargaining agreement before the current

contract expired at the stroke of 12.

Tonight, for the first time in our history, we will strike all three of the big three at once.

We are using a new strategy, the stand-up strike.
