It feels wonderful to be here. I am thrilled to see so many people eager to join in dialogue about where we as a nation find ourselves in the strive towards freedom and it seems particularly fitting that we would have this conversation today, the day after our nation paused its daily business to pay tribute to reverend Martin Luther king jr. s life and his legacy. And it seems fitting that we would have this conversation the day after our nations first black president was sworn in for his second term. Now i know much of the nation has already moved on and president obamas soaring rhetoric about the promise of america, life, liberty, justice and equality for all has already been forgotten by many. And i know that many, many people in america will not think of dr. King again until his holiday rolls around again next year. But i would like for us to pause tonight and think more deeply about the meaning of dr. Kings life and his legacy and what it has to teach us about our nations presiden
Ill start it and well go again. But im not im not going to be overly selfconsumed about this. And nor should the people of the state be all that concerned about whether i can do my job. I can get out of bed every morning. All right. Okay. Good morning, everyone. How about that . They keep on asking him that. What do you think about that . Welcome to morning joe.

So whats breaking news about this . I dont know. Why do you have to be such a scold . Im not a scold. I like him a lot. I think he represents a problem millions upon millio
The owners say henry had just come out of hibernation. I didnt know tortoises were so into morning sex, but dont say the ridiculist never taught you anything. Thankfully, the tortoises owners escaped safely, but sadly, like a tiny reptilian romeo and juliet, henry and alice perished in the flames. Believe it or not, this isnt the only story of tortoise intimacy that has come across our collective desk lately. Just last month, a london zoo tried to put a pair of tortoises in the mood to make sweet, sweet reptilian love to each other by bringing in what else . A french pianist. Chariots of fire theme, really . That was supposed to get them in the mood to knock shells. First off, would you get busy with a french pianist staring at you and cameras in the room . But chariots of fire . How about al green, fog hats slow ride would be appropriate at well, but i think this is the obvious choice to set the mood for this particular occasion. I think about you day and night its only right to think

A lot of people are stunned by it, including my first guest, senator john mccain who is making news right here about it. Senato
