Can you tell how energized this crowd is after a few days off . I think they need more time off. Thats it for way too early, morning joe starts right now. N. Uga chuck a reporter it wasnt the precision war israeli says its fighting. The dead were four young boys. Another iraqi city has now fallen to this group called isis. They are getting stronger joined by supporters of Saddam Hussein and sunni tribal leaders. The downing of a passenger jet over ukraine. Reporter the Ukrainian Government accused russian separatists are firing a missile to bring the plane down. People pouring over the u. S. Border by the tens of thousands. Thousands of children waiting for answers. Im hooked on a feeling the greatest feeling since
abraham lincoln. The house approved a lawsuit. Stop hating all the time. Lets get some work done. The awful execution of an american journalist carried out on camera. Im sure there may be one or two terrorists looking at him going, wow, that is one cold bastard. Thoooday is a miraculous tod dr. Kent brantly dismissed from the hospital after gravely ill with the ebola virus. The delicate and fast moving situation in the streets continues to outpace the investigation. 10,000 years will give you such a crick in the neck. Its hard to imagine Unstoppable Energy stopped. I want to thank you for supporting a great cause. I think we should start dunking members of Congress Every time they Say Something stupid on your show. Get em get em its really unbelievable. Its really unbelievable everything that happened this summer. So many bad images out there. Theres some good joyful images but that was you know, we hear all the time about how things move so much faster in the 60s and they did. Things kept coming certain years at everybody so quickly and it happened again this past summer. And you look back, my god. You look at just the president and the incoming on Foreign Policy crises, i think its possibly unprecedented. A lot of people were talking about except that a lot of people were talking about that this week. Mike, its been an extraordinary summer. So many low moments. I think a lot of americans are just catching their breath and holding hoping. I think most americans are weary what is the casgade of
events is overwhelming. Ron fournier talking and a lot of talking about what has happened. I just exhaled and said thank goodness the summer is over. As a parent you look forward to School Starting and especially this summer. There is so much work to do. Ayman is here on the set. Great to be here. I can ask how your Summer Vacation was. Im still waiting to get one you look at some of those images. You spent so much of your time in gaza and it is just mind boggling how quickly things move. I think there is a conspiracy the New York Times does not have a story about isis or libya or anything on the front page. Is this a real copy or what . Its the day after labor day. Yeah, i was going to say. We have a lot of things to talk about. What hit me more on labor day than any labor day before, it wasnt so much about watching football or eating ribs. Of course, i ate ribs any way. But the American Worker was really on the front pages of the newspapers and i think the front of a lot of peoples minds. Certainly it should be on the front of a lot of politicians mind. One story after another story about how corporations are doing better than. The New York Times this morning talks about most most of theable year since 1965 after tax profits and real dollars. The American Worker is falling further behind than any time since 1948. These numbers keep spreading wide. You look at one poll after another poll after another poll and it Shows Americans now want
and a lot of republicans want the minimum wage to be raised. They asked specifically in a kentucky poll that came out yesterday do you want it raised over 10 an hour. Think about this kentucky. Overwhelming majority of people in Mitch Mcconnells state by 18 Percentage Points want the minimum wage raised. It is time for republicans to fo figure out a way to sue for peace on this issue. They are suing the president. Now they need to sue for peace. Get something in return for raising the minimum wage because this issue is going to become a larger and larger issue. And if republicans dont get it, they are going to lose. They have already missed an opportunity. Look at like the Market Basket story out of boston last week with the ceo that everybody put back in because, i mean, when you see the hunger for stories like that and for people to have a sense of fulfillment and a sense of worth like that and then you look at what is happening across the country. That is the upside. There is a downside of the story of the wonderful generous woman that worked three different jobs. We are going to get to that. And died in a car. We have an incredible story. You want to talk about the face of the recession, that is the face of the recession. With Midterm Elections approaching the president and Vice President took labor day to cheer the legacy of unions and the u. S. And push for higher minimum wages. I want an economy where your hard work pays off with higher wages and higher income and fair pay for women and Workplace Flexibility for parents and a Affordable Health insurance and decent Retirement Benefits im not asking for the moon i just want a good deal for American Workers since 2000, the gross domestic product, that is all we make in america, has gone up 29 . Productivity in america is up 36 . But wages, wages have gone up 15 cents one of the reasons we are not growing is because ordinary people have no money in their pockets for their wages they are not being rewarded. The New York TimesEditorial Board taking on corporate profits which have surged to their highest level since 1965. And wages are, meanwhile, flat. Some middle class workers are being deprived of benefits by being classified as independent workers. Many can calling it wage theft hitting their employers with lawsuit claim they are opened tens of thousands of dollars in overtime and back pay. Jonathan capehart, its not like we want corporations to lose money. We want corporations to make as much money as they make and we
want them to share. You look at one poll after another poll after another poll whether its in mitch mcconne mcconnells kentucky or any other state, people want minimum wage to go up. They just want them to take care of their people. Im not saying its a goor on good or a bad thing. Its the poll numbers. I dont know if the Republican Party will stumble in this election and get slammed like the side like in 2012 before they figured it out. Well, its a matter of fairness as you said before going to the tape there. Corporations have had wildly profitable years and making tons of money. The executives of those corporations are making tons of money. And the workers in those companies and across the country are looking and saying, but, hey, i havent had a raise in x number of years or the raise that i did get was so small that it didnt make a difference in my life whatsoever. And so now do i feel economically insecure . Do i feel like my childrens
future isnt going to be as bright as, say, my parents . No. What is interesting here is, you know, in the stories that ive read so far about the president s speech yesterday and the Vice President s speech, you know, talking to labor unions and talking to the traditional, you know, members of the Democratic Base that its, in part, about turnout for the Midterm Elections but its also about the president and Vice President continuing on the message that they have been saying since they came into office, which is economic fairness, building the middle class in order to strengthen the american economy. Mika, again, when i said before, you know, this isnt about being for it or against it, this is just pure political analysis. Pure politics. Its pure politics and pure political analysis on my part. I voted against the minimum wage when i was in congress. I could make an argument on why it actually hurts other poor people. Im talking about if you were a republican and you like winning, you need to wake up. This is an issue that is going to keep getting pushed further and further out front. If you need any more evidence, a cluster of stories for you that should perhaps back this up. Troubles continue for Atlantic City, new jersey. Revel, a 2. 4 billion dollar casino, closing for good this morning after opening just two years ago. Wow. Already the casino show boat has closed and trump plaza is scheduled to be shut in a couple of weeks by years end only eight of the 12 casinos that were open for business when fourthree began will still have their neon lights pop the closure are expected to leave about 8,000 people without work or onequarter of atlanta citys work force.

He tried to talk about Foreign Policy and didnt do well so we will have that story coming up. He didnt say much. Lets just put it that way. Well, for chris, if youre a governor, Foreign Policy is like dealing with an animal in connecticut. I want to hear on Atlantic City which sounds like a calami calamity as bad as sandy, quite frankly. He should adopt my slogan campaign. What was yours . Heavy on style and slim on substance. It worked. He is a bright guy and we need to hear from him because 8,000 workers live on substance. The United Nations is sending a team to iraq to investigate human rights abuses by isis suggesting acts of inhumidity on an unimaginable scale. The violence in iraq left more than 1,400 people dead 234 august with over 600,000 displaced. David cameron is providing new antiterror laws and calling i isis a greater threat than al qaeda. President obama is dealing with criticism to say not a strategy yet to deal with isis. Dianne feinstein says he may not be acting fast enough. I think ive learned one thing about this president and that is he is very cautious. Maybe in this instance, too cautious. I do know that the military, i know that the state department, i know that others have been putting plans together, and so hopefully those plans will coalesce into a strategy that
can encourage that coalition from arab nations, you know, jordan is in jeopardy and lebanon is in jeopardy and the uaa and other countries are in jeopardy. The president is hammered from all sides. Dianne feinstein. Because of something he said and the way he said it. Even gary casperoff tweeted earlier this week, ive said it before but if barack obama was president instead of ronald reagan, i would still be a citizen of the soviet union. We have rushed into a country before iraq. Talk about the middle east. What do you hear when youre over there about across the middle east about barack obama going into syria . Are people thinking we are taking too much time . Do they want us to do more . What are you hearing . When you talk to a lot of the diplomats and ordinary people they want Something Different than the United States. Some countries want the United States to be more much handson and robust Foreign Policy and some want military actions in some countries. Others say, no, we have to solve this on our own and get the arab population and arab governments up so mixed reaction from different people. Down the middle . Yes. There is an underlying problem which is the u. S. Gatiengagemens exhausted us. Its exhausted all of us, mike. I think one of the most positive developments had to do with the uae and egypt deciding if they had a problem in the northeast they werent going to pick up the phone and tell us to scramble jets and take up targets in libya. They did it themselves. I remember my parents in 1973
and 74 when they saw the fighting in middle east, watching Television Sets and going, okay, this is like way over our pay grade. Like let them figure out their own problems. Here we are 30 years later, a lot of more americans saying the same thing. To the foy that ayman raised. The exhaustion of people in the middle east and the exhaustion of the american public. One of the critical opponents to people on the ground and running this operation is garner more sunni involvement in any opposition to isis and that involvement was fractured during the course of an administration that we responsed in baghdad. What is it going to involve for sunni involvement . Its a test for the incoming Prime Minister. He has to address some of the grievances of the sunni country. This is what the americans did during the end of their time and trying to get the arab awakening
to come back into the small councils. That is the key test to activate them. Celebrity nude Photos Leaked on line including those of Jennifer Lawrence and kate upton. That is horrible stop it, joe.

Two companies Safety Vision and digital ally donated 50 body cameras to the Ferguson Police department and those companies sent representatives to train officers how to use the devices.

Inside, scientists found all of the lizards died. Really . The kremlin says i got to mark that off my bucket list. It was a gecko orgy. No, it wasnt. They say unsure on what point on the journey the reptiles were killed. The satellite stopped responding to commands shortly after it took off and was left in orbit longer than intended.
