what the american people elected for years later. i take one boat trip timing is everything. suddenly i m hugh hefner. no. coming up on morning joe, talking to former white house press secretary robert gibbs. plus, oh, my goodness, mark leibovich, joins us to discuss his new book on the washington establishment. also congressman elijah cummings and writer from curb bur enthusiasm actor jeff garrlin. first here s bill karins he has a check on your forecast. that hot forecast, joe. good morning, everyone. the heat continues today and this morning. yesterday 90s widespread. that s the thing about this heat wave. it s pretty much from the east coast spreading now to the rockies. notice on this map almost everyone was in the 90s. thank all that urban jungle, the pavement from the big i-95 cities for that hottest temperature there of 96 in d.c. so you start your morning feeling like 85 in philadelphia.
programs that are the battle ground. to put people on that that have a passion and are protective of those programs. and to have the kind of tough minded people that are going to be part of the debate, the necessary debate on revenue generation. that cannot be off the table. she needs people on there that are going to make sure it states on the table. i m wrong, i really do that we re going to end up in a deadlock and then looming over us is this trigger mechanism that will be devastating to many, many programs across the country to many people. but i hope that doesn t come to pass. i do i m a little pessimistic that s where we re going to end up come december. and this as i know you re a no vote. there seems to be a lot of democrats waking up this morning feeling as if maybe the white house did better in these negotiations than they thought at the beginning. do you feel that way?
