Edition of Morning Joe. We hope you are enjoying your Labor Day weekend. Were on tape this morning bringing you some of our best discussion from the past two months, and we start today with our conversation the morning after Kamala Harris accepted her Partys Nomination for president on the Last Night of the dnc in chicago. Willie, you obviously are in chicago. Describe the scene if you will, because it is awfully hard you know, debates, ive heard one journalist after another say never try to judge how a debate turned out, president ial debate, when you are in the room. It is quite the opposite at a convention. You could walk into a convention, you can be watching it from you know, you had the Bob Uker seats which are usually the best seats to stand in, take it all in and say, okay, what is the state of this party. What is your answer to that . Youre right. John and i sat in section 315 Last Night eating those blackhawks and bulls nachos. Yummy. A pretzel with no salt. We really had the
we ve heard all about you. and another great thing i heard is that your brother, noah, is actually a match, so he is somebody who is able to help you. so i m going to go straight to noah and speak to noah and ask how great that you are a match to be able to help your brother freddie? it s good, it s great that i m able to help him. well, now if he needs it, which hopefully he won t, at least i can give him what he needs, i guess. that is fantastic. and obviously that really strengthens your bond, doesn t it, it makes you so close. i ve got one sister and we re so close. and i can see what you are able to do for your brother there, it just speaks of the closeness, doesn t it, that you guys have. do you know what i ll do, i ll come to dad again, jamie, and jamie, i touched on the charity that you are doing raising
distinction carol, i just wait. you made a distinction between this black officer and white officers having to go on trial. what sdu mean by that? simply being you know, we didn t see officer william porter. when those charges came up about reckless endangerment in the role he played, certainly we want justice on that. but we saw the officers that were in that video, carol. that s what the this issue of police pru talty, as much about culture, it s certainly about race. and so the folks on the ground, they say those white officers are really the ones that they saw handling brother freddie and others. so they re sort of excusing officer porter s role in alleged role in this? no, not at all. the culture of policing at this point, and mr. davis can certainly speak on, this the
been free. the mother did talk to nbc and she told nbc what she wants to say to her daughter. take a listen. that i love you. and i missed you all this time. and hopefully whatever happened between us, if something did, i hope it heals. because i really want to take her back to florida. and i don t want to leave her up in cleveland. the mother now lives in florida. the mother says some people believe knight originally disappeared years ago because knight lost custody of a baby son shortly before she vanished. knight s brother freddie, he says he s been estranged from their mother for years and year. didn t even know his sister had been kidnapped until he saw the story unfolding on television. he says his mom never tells him anything. i was shocked when i found out, yeah. i was shaking, yeah.
easily. well, what are you talking about? you are a likeable person. you make friends up there in 1, 2, 3. listen to you all the time. i ll come up and visit you. i will get my brother freddie s car or call me up when you feel blue or i will call you up and it will be real nice. shepard: earnest borgnine soon moved to television playing the rule breaking commander in the long running sitcom mchale s navy. earnest borgnine the nicest man i ever worked with. kept working through his 90 s. his publicist says borgnine died of kidney failure.
