You have a better chance of being struck by lightning than eating away with you about. There is only been listened to this one? Such whale killed off the coast of south carolina in the last fifty years, but other hand, their windmills are causing whales to die in numbers never seen before. Nobody does anything about that. They're watching what job I showed this week and three of us came up. They wouldn't you. Wouldn't you once a year now they're coming up on a weekly basis. The way males are driving. I'm crazy, the driving their driving the way I think a little body, and their washing up unsure levels never seen before, and they want to stop your boats one in fifty years. Can you imagine that donald trump yesterday in south carolina continuing his weird war against windmills have more from his rally yesterday, including another moment where he seemed to be confused about. his opponent says,

is the second time in a week plus trumps former defense secretary is defending outgoing joint chiefs of staff mark milly after the former presidents as a general milly was a trader. Also had on morning, Joe president, Joe Biden is expected to make history today as the first. President, to join a picket line when he visits ottawa. where's in Michigan will have, as This comments about the strike and where negotiation stand right now. Meanwhile, on capitol hill, the clock is ticking congresses divided on how avoid a government shot down before Saturday's deadline. Today, the house, and Senate are expected to take two different pass on a fun solution. Can they get it together morning and welcome to morning Joe, it is tuesday september twenty sixth, along with Joe willie and me we have the host of way too,

way. What has been achieved? That politico jonathan le Maire, professor at princeton, university eddie, claude junior, white house, director of communications to president obama, Jennifer palmary she's, the co host the new MSNBC podcast. How do we twenty twenty four, and also what this morning, roger chair in the american presidency at vanderbilt versus jaw, at Meacham joins us now. So will a we are a lot to talk about, but we have the president, the former president, who seems to be getting a little bit. I don't know used, sometimes about who is talking about what era were in there we have fought world war, want more too, were headed into world war. Three seems like a little bit and are now off centre the Wales, in the windmills that was even for him a real tour de force. We can talk more about that, but donald trump has been back on the can

in trail? He was in south carolina yesterday talking a rally by four hundred people in somerville, his first event in that state July, during this the last about forty minutes. Trump talked about the twenty sixteen presidential race and appeared to confuse his then opponent, JEB bush with former president george w bush The know the beauty was when I came here, everyone thought bush was gonna win and then they took a pole and they found out. Tromp was up by about fifty it's everyone said: what's going on right here, they thought bush, because bush supposedly was a military person great. You know what he was a miller. He got us into the he got us. in the Middle east, added that work out right so janet mere. He was talking, of course, about george w bush but conflate him with JEB Bush, who was the governor florida in march, two thousand three when the united states went into Iraq, but for all the talk about Joe Biden problems in his age and everything else. If you sit and watch not just those clips, but the forty

in its in south carolina, so red flags, there may trumps right about that in the whale sedona. What you're turkey, iran border yet reality check true on that no you're Right for the disk, it's a couple things here. First, there's a lot discussion, president binds age and whether or not he seems to be your slipping at all. What are you still up for the job, and there was a moment last week were eyebrows arrays were at the at a fundraiser, the and had in new york city. He told the same story twice, seemingly, not remembering he told the first time that said present and has been able to do the job, and his record speaks for itself as aids are very quick to point that out. I think we ve been Donald trump past too much because he's always sort of frankly spoken. Like a crazy. Listen it many times. Have you read? The transcripts of speeches are very hard to follow and ease. He saw all over the place. It's tough too, and down what he actually means, but these red flags verbal missteps, have only picked up in the last few weeks. In your right, I mean, though, the windmills, Well, things are not the world war, two, not from reference. Last week we had this one confusing the bushes,

list goes on and on and on and one I wonder as much as pull suggested: voters don't care as much about trumps aged and binding he is only three years younger than president Biden and if bind is going to question about his fitness for the job and voters should take this look at trump, who has been all over the place in recent weeks and seems to be in its social media post, reflect this too, under increasing pressure and strain from all the criminal cases and aid. Say that as well. That is weighing on a much more than he'd like to portray That's the real point here is a job for all the the lad. I mean the whale thing was bizarre said the the Windmills are driving whales, crazy, so they're watching themselves up on the shore rejecting any guys right, yeah projecting a, but as this is a man not only who is, it's in years. Clearly, as you watch those performances, but he's got and his mind having nothing to do with wales or JEB bush or obama or world war. Two I mean he

rejecting meaning, usually projects himself owing to people is running against. Now he's going on checking himself on well. So yes donald, it's the well sewer crazy right now. There is a well set up by think about this. Then and it goes back to what we said yesterday, which is which is job. I sitting there playing by marcus of queensberry rules and doing the gdp as going to rise by two point. Four nines, I'm sure that's right uk, but I'm not gonna ferny thing he needs to do better. Writing worry. He then, Instead, he made a start. donald trump back, there's a reason why those Paul's are looking the way are because they all tat, buying being too old buying needs to start talking about tramping to all listen This is not hard to do. He doesn't have to wait for the I to get off the picket lines to write his material everybody. This is what

tromp fakes and what he sought over the last two weeks. Then he ran a primary contest against you, w bush in twenties Steve bade hell, even george w Bush had gotten us- to the Middle EAST. He thinks, alternatively, video the general election in twenty. Sixteen against Barack Obama. you he said last week. Nobody thought we could be Barack obama, but we did these stumbled around with obama's name and then went on to say he beat morocco who is going to be now that he beat but go bomb in twenty twenty as well, and then onto the part about where Joe Biden we're gonna get us in the world war two and twenty? Twenty four. The reason why those numbers are higher

and the reason why people are comparing hunter binds laptop Stealing nuclear secrets is because the republicans, then, hammering Joe Biden, over this non stop and the way since kidded considered itself above the fray, this is like MIKE dude car as and nineteen eighty eight using push law on while well george age w voice was going around talking about how polluted still harbour wise and talking about going from one flag factory to another flag factory in John medium. By the time it was over right and- and you had Michael, do he's gone above this- I'm not going to respond to that. I mean you ve written forty ones, biography you by the time. Dukakis finally started respond to those attacks. It lost like twenty

points in nepal is twenty point, led, was evaporated and now you ve got the by people sitting back talking by now makes wall sounds being trashed and war his age is being tracked and hear you. I do not pay for it because I know you're historian and I'm sure you know this donald trump says he ran against george w bush in the primary invading ran into sixteen ran against Barack Obama and the general election. Nobody thought they could beating buddy beating ran against oh obama in twenty twenty and beat it no matter what the press in the pond and say this is a guy who is it terribly confused and again we don't hear that so much because the buying campaign is playing by all of queensberry rules, say one thing, though one of the great primary races ever would have been george

w bush verses, Donald trump that would have been cage Briggs hears me for cutting you all here that would have been written. Five minutes like donald trump, would have started talking. George w Bush would have looked at me when I got it, though Firstly, what are you talking about and he got did him George you boys, finnish donald trump campaign in five minutes, but go ahead no. I think that too. I think that george w bush is the one republican who could have undercut this populism. He worried about the populism he talks about how the what been lateness. Administration help create the conditions for this disease, clear eyed about it, but look I think that worries me. The most is not

tromp says when he's confused, but what he says what he says when he's not and There's this series of increased obliquely sulphurous unconscious international anti, democratic, assertions that he's making about what he wants to do. If actually returns to power, which is a entirely plausible possibility. and so the focus seems to me of all of us. The task of citizenship should be is he say what does he want to do and we're talking about somebody- and I just we can't say this enough right? It's like the daily office he's like morning prayer? We should just always say this there was a mob attacking capital of the united states, something that did not happen in eighteen

sixty sixty one, but it happened one in twenty one because of this this bizarre, and yet all real police power and reach their donald trump pass and we can wish it away, but that won't make any difference at all. With great history teachers at if, if sands and bud sore candy and nuts we'd all have a merry christmas, I how it is we could say, but but but that matter right This is a real political, constitutional. unfolding crisis and its tiring Who wants to wake up and think about donald trump more, except for donald trump, of course? Well, John, if I didn't know this isn't what we I listened our tat. I want to talk a couple of specific worthy john first of all he's talking about the execution of mark milly

chairman of the joint chiefs of staff said he would have been executed in priority simply because, Martin he wasn't going along with his plan to overthrow the government and, and yesterday he ranted that he was going to take over NBC and MSNBC. If he one day twenty twenty four election, he was ranting. his social media, opposed and claim that works or the enemy of the people. This is an area where a guy's dead, Stalin years did after stolen died. Khrushchev, said it with such dangerous political in the soviet union, such a dane this political phrase that he outlawed the use of it and he said in the end be seen emerson, museums should be investigated for country threatening treason. So here we go. John in Today's he threatens tat, says the the chairman joint chiefs problem should be executed. And then he says that the new at work that that is most critical of him should be taken off the air.

this is not a reach. I can go back and talk about nazi germany and I do it do it without any concern whatsoever and people can start drawing the parallels? Well, you're, just better. You have your head in the sand. Are you on a vampire, but I'd rather look at Orban and, what's not a day and a hungry, because what he's done? It's been systematic. He started with the public the entire stations took them over. They became voices and arms of the state Veni started going over the newspapers he had here. Basically, he regulated or are taxed one independent newspaper after another independent newspaper out. Of existence. One hundred percent of the newspapers there are basically state one step, through these kind of third party supporters industries and he started broadcast to eighty percent are basically or minds

they'll, he's he's got he's got almost complete. control over the news media, they said: the message for them to follow- and they all follow It- there is no freedom of speech and hungry, and so do. I think the donald trump can be allowed to line people up against the wall and shoot them, though he'd like to a no doubt. I know him and I've known him for a long time in and we can see this he would like to hear not going to be allowed to, but if he said I'm gonna take the effie and I'm going to bring in the white house and I'm going to decide who is going to be tv and who is not going to be on tv live have that is something that Republicans. Fifty percent of americans are supporting him right now, despite the fact that stills nuclear secrets in stills war plans- and he says, he's going to terminate the constitution so sure that letting shut tv stations that where we are dead, dead, deter

eight, the constitution. That's that's the key phrase here it that's. What. He says he wants to do, and then there are the folks who say that people like the two of us, so that all of us our view with the weak came to literally not seriously, Where do we start a mob attacked? The cat the united states to overturn a free and fair election, the present states pressured. Shows in the various states to find him votes so that he would win. So that's not hyperbole That's nice, cable, news, liberal fury in the morning. It's just true and if you, handle lad. Then the higher experiment is at risk. Anytime spare, is at risk. It may sound overly grand or dramatic, no but

As you are saying, it's just the case, and I dont think we do you ourselves no favours whatever. In pretending that these are not live. Use. A fancy word liberal, anti democratic and constitutional forces that he Donald trump embodies probable gates. And this whole after that the constitution should think about this- the constitution, if the numbers are even remotely true is gonna. Come to a couple of hundred thousand people in five states bribe. That's that's we are and so to some extent the appeal has to be If you are one of these folks in michigan and pennsylvania in arizona. If you're there think about it, do you want to terminate the constitution, and if you do you

be sure your teams always gonna, be in power, because now Why did the law is that it protects you for me me from you and the store long always become the weak europe and an end. and in the power why what's being used right now by trappers could be used twenty years from now by people. on the foreign aid or are just by some crazed, indeed the billionaire who decides to run for office. No. Where were we checks and balances. Today in the united states, more than ever before and donald trump ones blow down the doors on every check and every battle Many times too, we need to learn what does need to say how much you are. There doesn't need to go. Where you mean you look it do. You know, if with these Paul's half of american still supporting I'd love to talk domin loved, to figure out why this boredom? Now they have no gonna answer. I'm sorry did Joe Biden

also, I am going to vote for the guy. You says he's going to terminate the constitution to execute the chairman of the joint see outside our travel. Steel and steal nuclear seek, since steel now and and and be accused of rape by a judge, you said he raped a woman, I mean it, We pay the illegal pay off still porn star hoo hoo stole war plans to invade iran who went around bragging their campaign. Members eddie heads classic the terror that he couldn't declassify. I so should be showing nobody showed him anyway, I mean that's, who people want somebody instilling nuclear secret. Somebody who wants to terminate the cat well, that's where we right now www. I will say again following up on you what john said he talked about illiberal mark receiving said in that wasn't too much of our age there again going back to Orban, as you know, hungry easily, whereby, after stripping power away from the press after stripping power away from from the judiciary

He say he said western democracy doesn't work western demand proceed doesn't work. We are proud, to be an ill liberal democracy and that's where they are that's where they keep that's where Donald trump will take the united states of america if elected and he's just the kind of leader, the donald trump has recently touted him? Vladimir Putin came jungle and with the love letters he likes that kind of guy he wishes. He could be that kind of guy and eighty two, the echo of john and Joe, and make all the said. We gotta believe the guy. This isn't two thousand fifteen, where he's a game show host up they're, telling jokes and its amusing in some ways, because it could never happen he shown that he could try to do a while. He was present, and we know that if these elected again will be a lot easier form. Do a whole bunch of this stuff, because there'll be no general kelly

they'll, be no general milly they'll be no general matters to be no people whose first principle is to protect the country in the constitution, and the democracy will be to serve this guy. So when he talks about wanting to execute mark Ellie way talks about terminating the constitution. Let's not forget. He asked his attorney to arrest his opponents in october of twenty twenty job. Before the election. These are things he fantasizes about it. Will be easier for him to carry out of his electorate gap. Absolutely the guard rules of god and the way His rhetoric sets the stage to increase the intensity of our political season, and it actually, I think, increases the spectre islands right. So when he says you know back in the day general milly could be. executed he's actually sending messages out there? It's a kind of my boss, kind of formulation and then Paul gosar will echo it right, and so think is really important and Joe makes an interesting point are an important point that the binding administration, the bag and care

pain has to go after it, but they have to do it in such a way that they dont wind up. Looking like Dukakis in a damned take right how to do it in their law in their lean, but we have to begin to hit the threat head off, because it's not just simply policy is existence. Its vis, it's in the gut, and what john is saying has to be interpreted in a way that it hits the surly hits our two years now, officials, law enforcement officials, garment fishes and warn me they really afraid of the thought of political violence heading into this election here, particularly with these indictments against tromp, and one wonders this seemingly frame mark milly where's that It was a violent trumps gag water as well that that could be held against him up a gentle to the point the byte administration should be doing. They are gonna, be speaking about threats to democracy. Week. The presence could be be in arizona you're, paying tribute. friend Senator Mccain as well as once again warning about what could happen, but to Jos point

earlier. Should my enemy asked, you dry apply a communications back on here. Should president by his team also be highlighting these missteps from trump raising the mental acuity his fitness for office. The vehicle The new yorker this week is Biden, tromp Pelosi Mcconnell all for obvious and your citizens, not a flattering look but the fear Is that what I say? I've talked to they say any time. The issue of age comes up fairly or not it's bad for Biden, even though course that you are making the same points for trot now Joe thanks reserved talk. Why is it that way, it's also it's also the biggest issue. That's their so any have lingering environment. We started talking about it more, which I think is an and joking about whether the president himself points out haven

guy is also old and also having and also miss speaks like I'm, not sure that I would use the president for that, but but I think that There is I oh, I do have a concern. So what? Let's? Look at your NBC Paul, for example? Five? viability dropped three points to the lowest ever and then be seat pull through does not allowed in the margin of error whatever, but you look at trends. Normally we. her favorability rating drops. You can point to something leg: gas prices when or there's some problem. That explains why there is a drop in the ocean. Three months nothing's really happen that should make the present as a proper readin drop right, there's nothing sort outside of politics- it's happened, so I think the republican attacks I'd be having an impact, as you can always you notice the stuff about hotter might be having an impact that suggests

you should be fighting back. You don't have to use a president for that. This. There are sir good. Sir peoples. go on television, who are not the president back me, making the points that Joe did earlier now for pride in it, but I think the also the way that the white house is looking at this, as we have thought in the months between now and november and the election in two thousand twenty four to recreate create a new majority, well listen that will vote for by then, and they think what you to do now. Is you need to make sure those people know that there is a good reason to vote for Joe Biden, because everything is accomplished and will do not just because trump is bad and if you just do trump as bad, that's going to drag every. Be down and make everybody feel like their choices are bad and they want people to feel good about this choice and they want to do that work now. I think you can do both things at once. I, you can do that. Work is by the way, a lot of that happens and through digital ads or other kinds of communication and the press

Can we talk about what you know today is going to be way w. He can really kit really hard. First present united states to go to picket line it's a it's a sacrament for the for union workers. For for president to do that, and yet trump really hard, but what he didn't do as president to help these people on substance and then you can have other people that are making this argument about how incredibly unfit that he is Did you great point all I will say, What I learned very quickly in politics is if you run away from an attack ad If you run away from his hack, you lose it always catches you from behind. You always lose it, go right into the attack. Any use it and palm away and turn it against your opponent. You wear I've seen it happen time and time again

I remember being attacked and ninety ninety six for being part of those mean republicans who cut medicare and well. I spent hundreds of millions of dollars attacking republicans who cause medicare, even though, even though the medicare atrocities and we had to lower the rate of growth, automatic care, or else he would go bankrupt in seven years, so You did the right thing. My friends freshmen that you're with me. They ran way from the attack. I ranch I didn't, do it and after being attacked a month This debate, I send you know what every debate from now on, I'm not going to talk about education, I'm not going to talk about defence, I'm not going to talk about nineteen. Many talk about why I had to lower medicare costs. That's all I'm gonna talk about win or lose. I don't really care cause. I'm gonna you're, not be able lie about me, and so I did it

the entire campaign. I told this story to some people on the show before right before the Why should I got a phone call? It was going. older public opinion strategy. The asked me congress on what are you doing on senior citizens? I panicked without a boy we I shouldn't talk so much about medicare. I ask when wise and because of a hunter fifty two hundred people that we called for members you highest number among senior citizens. It's out dangerously high do I dough? Glenn? I told the truth. I told but I won by another massive landside. Nobody ever ran against me again. That was the and basically no democratic, took me on after that, and two more raises unopposed by democrats and gin? That's why I think they need to go straight into the fire and we're Joe Biden. I wouldn't let

Opportunity go up, and somebody ask about donald trump I'd say: will you kind of new needs brok obama that question cosette. So we think these run and against this year, are things about the republican party I don't know, but talk to donald trump Judge me, george, w bush and twenty sixteen says he beat brok obama twenty sixteen I mean you gotta hammer it hammer it a hammer and then after that you can turn and actually tell people. Well, you don't, but I in July, this point that you said binds numbers regardless of the policy or saying are not we down, because the economy, because I can show you numbers that say that three for americans think their due. Pretty why? What well right now in the economy is now. we're going down because this he to. All message has stopped and the white house at their head in the sand and if they want dig

on the right side of those they got that can find this head on. Because this proves has succeeded in his rick ways if you look at the mid term, action. If you look at by partisan legislation that is passing it on more than any present this century. You will get a lot of economic data its positive, they they look, it wine, and they hear what republicans and fox news and donald proper saying all the time that, like You still all the instilled. This way, a vital nation anymore, they've gotta fight that head on. So I think that I mean that you know he did last week right. He did, but it it just. It can't all be gone. The president right that that I part they like he moves to. He needs to be president, and he can't take it on all data trump to be as a candidate and donald

was acting as if the general election is started and it, and when that, when that happens, then you need people other than the president. That are you know We must then be sea and all other other cable networks that are hammering these arguments and in it just a big. They can't have it all just rest on and by the image is forest timing, ghost willie. Also, if you go back to twenty twelve, the obama, captain campaign battle, action was over by may of twenty twelve the, I had so defined mitt romney as cold hearted industrialist then allow. people to die, because look away. Their life ensure our health insurance. It was, over in may and looking back a year later, they all said it. Everybody said This race was over and made because they d find him

That's why I usually say thirteen months. I had plenty of time. It's not plenty of time like what happens point between now and the end of the year is going. chairman who, whose it was in the best, shape to win the elections next year and right now, everything is breaking against the president, because you're his team. I do expect the present do this by himself. He's gotta he's got a big thing: they need to start focusing on donald trump and screw by now makes saw the guy who's threatening american democracy. What the shoot wanting to execute germany, the job chiefs of staff and warning does shot down free speech. That's an argument that the president has made, but in private to donors who was here last week in new york for the, u n and an event on Broadway, he was very explicit doing it effectively. What you just said, which is this dump this election is

democracy. If this guy wins we're gonna lose what we ve had in this country. For two hundred and forty years and Joplin marries China walk that. Why look at all the stuff, I've done? Here's the economy, here's record, low unemployment, etc. We can go down the list, but also explain this. eggs of this race, and maybe he needs and do it more explicitly. Where do you hear another pulling his fitness? Is he fit for office? Is? Is Joe Biden fit for office? Well, in his case, that's a physical question. I guess four donald trump. Their question could be ass in terms of is this a man who should be sitting in the white house again, given everything we know he's done and now he's telling us he plans to do get a moral question is certainly to your point. The president has wrapped up his attacks on trumped somewhat recent weeks more in those privates- were a small donor. So I was in a few last week here in new york when he made that same case, but not disappoint Joe again, but the close to the say that his campaign is not gonna really ramp up until early next year, but this is the disease

pacing issue for him. But it's also. They feel that right. Now the best thing they could do is simply be president and that therefore, let public and serve tear themselves up, they were however, on the geo primary failed to take a lot more swipes on trumped them. They hats, that's a part of our strategy has worked out yet is that they thought that would be in fighting there in the gnp and those there who want trumps job. having gone after a minute. I will just say, though, that that that's part of the concern here is crop is moving a general action. I think, will start to hear a little more binding that too, maybe the today, starting with them autoworkers, but it's gonna be a slow wrap up for this team. I mean, I think, a lot to be said for that that there's a strategy there he does have to do the business of being president. I think that there is another republican debate coming up, hopefully on shore. They will do some of their own work for them at some point. They have to compete against trumpet any of them want to get fraction in the primary, but most importantly for democrats

Instead of going about Joe in age. Flip the equation go after trump and then, when they Jos, old, so yeah, but look what is done. Bottom line right. There Democrats need to get more aggressive and they need to worrying out loud because they have great track record, but Joe Biden, John major final thoughts for this block. Well, there's sixty years ago, roughly ronald again gave a electrifying. Speech forbearing, goldwater, a cave known as a time for choosing- and this is a time for choosing and its speaking as a citizen, this is what we have to decide. Do we want a constant it's democracy with all of its imperfections, or do we want Man government, one interests government and it's not much more

My own view of this is that any policy does. We have should be subordinated to wanting and spare my daughter, more perfect union to continue study, ways true, but it's true today. Historian John major them, thank you very much for coming on this morning. We appreciated and coming up a defiant centre Bob Menendez refuses to step down after being indicted on option. Gold bars good lord. How did you know that, like gold, It does not look good, even as wads of cash like like just wads of cash and John fetterman 's campaign said that they turned back the donation, We have set up an envelope. Democratic growing number are calling on him to resign, which says a lot on another right. What are you thinking? frank and made

poor out of congress. We radio hose starling accused him of doing things not proven, and this guy is dealing swears, gold bars lie and is getting back hundreds of thousands of dollars house guilty, that's the guy, while we we really don't like you now sound democratic calling for him to resign way. Should where are we going to hear how they ways, but they didn't wait for l, frank and did they know they didn't? Thou tat was bad and we said so in real time still believed that will hear how menendez explained where the wads of cash found stuffed in his jacket game probable.

The shocking in specific allegations against Senator Menendez have compromised his capacity to be an effective senator and last night in an appearance on inside with Jen saki speaker Nancy Pelosi, also call them and end as to step down by comparing this relation to indicted republican congressmen of new york, george sent us if we I would like to say that if you're indicted should resign. We have a situation in the house, owes you the state of new york, that that would hold too

but right now, sadly, because of the challenges that we face, because kept a system that exist in our country about governance, about this republican party that doesn't believe them in its doesn't believe in science, so wants to take down. Everything in order to give tax breaks to the wealthiest, we ve got to say focused on that and for that reason that probably be a good idea. If you did this time, so Nancy palazzo, calling I'm an end as to resign via the near opposed, not buying the argument from senator Menendez that he had all that stuff. Hidden began. History: cuba, export. Oh yes, Joe due to the fact that you have an underground, yes you're full of gold bars at a settlement- and I said just for a rainy day well in that That's me, I've got to go, but on one side, because I was in atlanta braves fan- and you know we- winters the brave boy ally and we're like give that painting it be that badly.

To say that the authorities want common it says that we get our money. Then I get the goal Bars right oh bars, are really heavy at times I do curls with them. You know, because I want to be in shape and every thing you can do a lot exactly sail along with gold boulier and got these go bars find those because I've been in atlanta falcons fancies. Nineteen sixty six and you see them getting slaughtered on the field and you just sit there go on well. That could happen to them. That get out, may show is cuba? Is cuba? Explanation makes per accent started when the falcons gave up the twenty eight to three lead in the super bowl. You went out and bought a bunch of survival seeds. It started to get weird. After all, I had to listen. I go in back and personally are great and and a brinks truck survival said dumper there Glenn, so the survival seed but yeah they are fifteen.

no really there's gonna know this argument is no dahmer, then then by when does saying I'm, from cuba so yeah. I keep gold bars and beyond in cash in my house come on willie come on Are you John? best, for the indictment is the detail that, after sentiment has received the gold bar his google. Purchased, reveals heed the world. How much the goal of our work So Does the senator who has gotten out of trouble for faces a a tougher hilda. And this time already, and I think it is interesting that started to cease and democrats pressure him to resign. There's a couple days: silence senator futterman was the first to they are now. We have set your welsh from four months as well, as we heard from former how speaker pollution

center brown from ohio, starting to have some names at that ross the white house has said theirs, they acknowledged this is a serious accusations, but they're going to stay out of it. For now we don't even get half a million dollars. You have the gold bars. You have the the influence pedals, at least it seemed with Egypt all this against the backdrop of the crisis we face as a democracy, whether it's an ethics issue or whether as a criminal issue given crisis we face as a country he has to step down. It seems to me to ask well. I mean you know. The crazy thing is weaker me. Nobody, here's old enough to remember this may by when we The arab scale I'll see you actually have members of congress that with kate cash, and they would shove it in there. And so much that they were out. They looked like the michelin man when they were like leaving the office and when they were busted by the fbi, they said no, no, no, no we're just kinda

in our own interview, our investigation and that's that's one minute as I have to say, zero democrats are stepping out- and I think it shows at this very difficult time, jan, that inner democrats can see things put political affiliation aside and if something appears to be untoward unethical and not what the job? as in washington, they say It is, and we have some really powerful democrats calling on him to step down first, while I have to a shout out in the morning, Joe DJ for plain dark this on the edge of town leading into the from springsteen leaving them. Segment about the jersey, the jersey senator I mean that was, and they didn't even play the lyrics adjusted the music and with like nuanced, it was just all it was so good. Don't forget, governor phil murphy, governor phil, figures like melendez of actual governor on friday.

came out and said that that he should resign, but I dont think you know just as far as as trump is not you know, I dont think monotonous is gonna resign, just as from continues campaign and run for present and under indictment, because you know the you know if he's proven himself, not to really be a man of integrity, and this is if he, if he, resigns it's it's some problems, its he presented the admission of guilt, and you know he's been down before he doesn't seem to care about it. You know, hurts confidence in the in the senate and her confidence and public officials. So I don't know it's good that people are holding him again, well this way, but I don't know that you actually do it yeah So congress returns to washington this morning with less than five days to reach an agreement to avert a government shut down how speaker Kevin Mccarthy still faces and upheld battle as hard right comes

it is, and his party are looking to use the shut down as love edge for spending cuts. Meanwhile, the senate will begin moving. Had with its own short term solution. Let's bring it and busy news capital Hell, correspondent, ally, Vitaly alley. What's the latest, your hearing negotiation. So far he added better news than what I brought to you yesterday mika the idea that law makers, even though they worked over the weekend on the house, I don't seem any closer to a true consensus. We did hear from speaker Mccarthy yesterday. who continue to sound notes of optimism. I think we can be fascinating this week, though, is yes watching the ways that majority still tries to heard the cats within his friends, but also seeing the ways that they end of interacting with this Senate plan that schumann and other key leaders are still trying to cobble together. I was told that staff on the set aside are still working through the night to try to come to what this agreement could look like and again we're talking about a continuing resolution here. Something of a just keep the lights on

for an extra thirty or maybe forty five days to buy these folks. Some time actually do these appropriations bells? They are not fast processes here, Why there in the time buying business, but if Mccarthy were to take this lifeline that this set it could extend to him. Yes, it would help me government funding, front No, it would not help him in terms of actually keeping his job, because just the very word genuine resolution or a sea are, as we short ended up. The hill is something that could have several of his members, including mac. aids trigger emotion, to vacate fire him from his job and then you're back into chaos. Standpoint. I think that's the thing that I'm generally in mind here- is that the shot down as one piece of this, but the back half of it is the open question of if Mccarthy will keep his job and look. Let me rest good question this morning on way too early. If not mccarthy, then who I'll tell you what I mean ten which, as I have no idea, but the chaos and results of these conservative men

This is truly the point and that's chaos, certainly in the house. What are some veterans that you have spoken to say, they are worried about facing greater difficulties in getting a hare within an already strain systems are certainly they'll, be ok ass, if there's a shut down or if there are major cuts. What more you hearing yeah! That's exactly right mika, because, while the political chaos is thing that we often focus on here shutdowns. Our backs, for americans, I've covered so many of these, not in washington outside the belt way. People are really hurting and here's the thing shutdowns make things worse because they cause new problems, but they can also make old problems in more dire than they already are watch his daughter. I voted for this planet back in two thousand and three

it took tino adopt a more than two decades to get a newbie clinic at his home town of Stockton. California, I used to go to meet, is started jargon about a. Hopefully we will open up before were pushing up issues, it's not just about getting a new facility for open dockers, horoscope. this rural community about an hour from San francisco, false prey to a national trend veterans, struggling to access healthcare, because there aren't enough providers to see them. We have the longest wait times anywhere in california. If you're in Stockton, you have to wait eighty or even ninety days, even one hundred days, I talked to a veteran recently who wasn't able to get a refill on his diabetes. Medication he ended up losing his leg. Harder says that here the number of working primary care positions have been cut in half just this year alone. As of twenty twenty two more than twenty five hundred vehicle,

quality is face severe occupational shortages of twenty two percent increase from a year before and those that are the results. backlog wait times and rarely returned inquiries are wide. Dozens of veterans like a dummy, as well as caregivers, like leslie, starts pact. In this town hall on a friday afternoon. Here has Vietnam, bad beside disabled before the corona virus pandemic? Her husband's care was consistent with this system. They worked very well and then, when carbon happen, everything just change, enemy call concern was never answer. Sear, basically playing a game of telephone with their has scare. Yes local v is working to alleviate staffing shortages with increased physician pay, while expanding at to tell her how California, here to help you today we're here to help you monday, tuesday, whenever there overloaded there's a lot of red tape,

harder petitioning the administration in Washington, for how will time but in action from congress, could make this worse. What does this VFW town hall have to deal with the government funding fight? I think this a little bit of a canary in the coal mine, and not only would it not fix it, it's going to make it a lot worse and in the meantime, operating we know what we've done in the military. The government promised one thing, but it's not fulfilling and look you heard. What tino said there at the end of our pc calls it heartbreaking to know that he served and now these institutions that are supposed to serve him are doing anything. But I will say arteries trying to in this funding fight, put an amount when, in the vienna appropriations bell, that would better study it. Just the scope of this issue. You gotta understand a problem. we can stop start solving it, but certainly, while petitioning the vizier he's trying to do that, but again it further happen at the vienna level. This only makes a bad thing worse, mika
