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
Up to their knees and their waist. They are crawling into crevices through the rubble looking for possible survivors. Officials say they have heard sounds from underneath this debris, but they cannot confirm hearing any voices at this time. Officials say President Biden is receiving updates on this. He is expected to address this later today at the white house. Lets go to our colleagues in florida. Dr. Sanjay gupta there. Rosa, lets begin with you. What more have we learned this morning especially about the number unaccounted for . Reporter you know, poppy, we were expecting this to happen. I know Governor Desantis mentioned it yesterday, that they knew that more bad news was going to be coming in the coming hours, and we learned that overnight three more bodies were pulled from the rubble. That, of course, brings the death toll to four. We are also learning about the challenges that firefighters were facing overnight. Fires that not only started, but then were reignited. And so that j
And deal . Or no deal . After seemingly coming to a bipartisan agreement earlier this week, the president s Infrastructure Agenda is in jeopardy after angering republicans. If only one comes to me, im not this if this is the only thing that comes to me, im not signing. Its in tandem. We are going to break down what comes next. Plus, the Derek Chauvin sentencing. Former minneapolis cop gets 22 1 2 years in prison, but is likely to serve less than that. George floyds cousin, tara brown, will join me later in the hour to talk about how the family is feeling following the sentencing. We are also going to look ahead to the charges chauvin is now facing. But first, i want to get to those breaking new developments in the Trump Organization probe. The New York Times reporting that the former president s company could be hit with criminal charges by the manhattan das office, as early as next week. The case is believed to be focused on gifts and fringe benefits, distributed to trumporganization
Well have the lead prosecutors in the chauvin case tomorrow night after the sentencing. It will be such a important day in the courtroom for them and everyone else. Indeed. Excellent. Welldone my friend. Thank you, rachel. Well, it really is infrastructure week. And President Joe Biden got to say the words today he has been wanting to say since inauguration day, we have a deal. And he was so excited about the deal that he did something that president s just about never do. He went out into the driveway. On the Pennsylvania Avenueside of the white house with a Bipartisan Group of senators to announce the deal they just made. We have a deal. And i think its really important weve all agreed that none of us got what we wanted, i clearly didnt get all you wanted. They gave more than i think maybe they were inclined to give in the first place. But this remind mez of the days we used to get an awful lot done in the United States congress. They did not and i understand their position republica
The New York Times published its first article on the pentagon papers. Reflecting on the significance of the history it created, the New York Times writing today, quote, the lies revealed in the papers were of a generational scale. And for much of the American Public it seeded a suspicion of government that is even more widespread today. Remember a few years later came watergate, a scandal that forced a president to resign and raised even more distrust in government. And now, along with a republican assault on Voting Rights, we are learning more about efforts to dig up dirt on Congressional Democrats and others by Donald Trumps Department Of Justice. We have learned the current doj is revealing the ordeal. But today this New York Times article, trump subpoenaed apple about an account that belonged to don mcgahn. Apple was barred from telling mcgahn about it. Apple has not responded to the times. An attorney for mcgahn and the doj declined to comment. The Senate Majority leader wants an
