Senate gym everybody else is there to watch morning joe. 245e6r7b89sd the Previous Story about fifa. Fifa president sepp blatter announcing he is resigning only four days after he was reelected. Now sepp blatter will go back to sounding like disease you look up on web, m. D. Fifa president sepp blaert announced he is he signing after a week since the Corruption Scandal. You can never trust the 79yearold blatter. Hes not a great basketball player. Why is that . But hes a good dribbleer. Wow, im flushed. Hes european. Thats right. Its in the contract. He sat owe stepped down four days after he was elected. The fifa guy. Talk about arrogance. He said a couple days ago i shall not step down to to do so would be an ad mission of guilt. That was ability three days ago. There you go. Wow okay. Maybe its all coming together. Big news. What else is going on in the news today . Usa today . This is a big headline a. Lot of libertarians on the right a. Lot of liberals on the left. Nsa Data Collection ended. Well see how long that lasts, but its something and also the New York Times leading with that headline and a lot more to talk about today, mica. Lets start with sepp blatter. Four days after he was elected to the governing body fifa. Sepp blatter officially announced she out. Although the members of fifa reelected me president , this mandate does not seem to be supported by everybody in the world of football. This is why i will call an Extraordinary Congress and put at disposal it is going to be held as soon as possible and a few president will be elected to follow me. So this comes less than a week after then high ranking fifa officials were indicted by the u. S. Justice department and a source familiar with the investigation has now confirmed to nbc news the fbi is looking into whether blatter, himself, engaged in any wrongdoing. As for choosing his replacement, this i dont get, fifa says a new election could be held as late as march 2016. So he will be there for how long . He has to clean some records up. Another year . Highway has cleaning up to do in the office. Just need a year guy if i could. Ill leaving. He needs to leave today, right . They have an emergency meet i dont know. He may leave from a couple month, well see. By that willie there guy, a well known, when john kerry had an affair with a well known wife, he said there is good news in that too, when he goes to latin america, they willgy him a stand ogvation. They respect that sort of behavior there. There was a time when racism was rampant across fifa they wanted to have all these sensitivity clinics. He says you know racism can be cured by a handshake on the field. Hmm. And then there was that wonderful moment when fifa was doing its straw for the 2014 world cup. Nelson mandela had died the day before. Up to the announced moment of silence for mandela and blatter started talking 11 seconds later. Hes a very self important man who is now i suspect on the way to jail. But his arrogance perhaps caught up to him at this point. But you think about how many soccer fans and people around the game know this open secret that fifa is totally corrupt. There have been long pieces written about it and essays given on tv. And now it took Loretta Lynch, the United States attorney general to shine a light, put back the curtain. As we have said many times, i think qatar was a bridge into tar. That was the one that they said wait a minute this makes absolutely no sense, lets look into it. Again, have you bill clinton, eric holder over there, the u. S. Attorney general over there. They should have realizet when they did something so openly corrupt bill clinton, i think they came back and started talking about it Loretta Lynch. We waited a long time for Loretta Lynch. Doing a great job. Developing news overnight in massachusetts, a man was arrested in an ongoing terrorism investigation in boston and could face charges as soon as today. Hours earlier, authorities shot and killed a man who they say was under 24 hour under surveillance. Officers say they opened fire after they approached him and he lunged at them with a knife. Nbc Steve Williams has more on the investigation. Reporter officials tell nbc news they were concerned he had become radicalized by isis inspired social media and was actively considering an attack on officers in the next few days in a city still traumatized by the 2013 marathon. Although they have no arrest they were fearing an investigation soon. We thought it was appropriate to question him about his doings. Reporter his brother, a former boston area imam said the family is grieving but wrote he was shot in the back three times while talking to his father on the phone saying i cant breathe. Police say he was shot twice in the abdomen and torso, not in the back. They searched his roz dindale home and if rhode island they are investigating whether he was in touch with others who also may have been radicalized by isis inspired propaganda. A midline democrat has Connecticut Democrats scrambling as four employers blasted a tax proposal yesterday. We were talking about this yesterday t. Hartford courant worry about some of the connecticuts biggest corporation, worked yesterday on trying to scale back tear budgets business tax plan the current proposal replaces it with higher cigarette taxes. Ive heard of this before in connecticut connecticut. A 50 center per pack increase. Everyone goes across state lines to buy cigarettes. This after a major employer blamed three others in a state tax hike. Pharmaceuticals joins ge,aetna and travelers in voicing here opposition to the plan that in part funds daniel malloys spending. Sthai they went to the State Capitol and heard from lawmakers. Heres what they heard from the opposition. So the euntary tax is something that these corporations are really focusing on in this budget. Tell me about that. Reporter sure, the unitary tax is is something everyone has to follow for the revenue and income in the United States of america, they include foreign operations as well. Thats a very scary thing for these corporations because the tax is oftentimes misadministered, they end up owing more tax to the state of connecticut than they honestly owe the state of connecticut. Its a big clang for them a. Big proposed change for them. I dont blame them for being nervous about it at all. Reporter there was a gol lup poll if 20132014 that said 49 of connecticut residents polled would loo tev state if they could afford to. Leave the state if they could afford to. Does that shock you . I think if you ask them now, it would be the majority. The problem is people can only take so much. Im shocked these companies havent come out sooner than this because they have been in addition to budget and that et set remarks its bad policy its bad policies like paid sick leave and Different Things that are taking the businesses in the state of connecticut and just telling them just get out. They might as well just tell them get out. Theyre talking about getting out. This is really a National Story. Because it talks about what happens when you keep raising and raising and raising taxes and you dont take care of pensions and you dont take care of retirement plans and you know that number. Again, you worked there, its been a battle for years. But everybody wanted to move to connecticut 20 years ago. It was a great state, great education, great jobs tax haven. Now, nobody wants to move there and other than people like me. Business wise. And business wise. And 50 of the people surveyed in a recent poll said if they had a chance they would move out of the state. They cant afford to move out of the state because nobody but me is moving into the state. I mean thats a terrible situation. And i dont know what the deal is. Louis got into the connecticut House Speakers Office and got some action. How did he get in there . I dont know. Roving around. He got reaction from one of the states most powerful democrats. This budget provides relief for a number of places in the state, Property Tax Relief for working Families First. But also makes Major Investments in our Transportation System which the government announced earlier this year. These are things that the Corporate Community has been calling for, for decades, really, pla josh investments which in our Transportation System which has gone undone in the last several years, so this budget simply asks those corporation and those of the highest incomes to kick in a little bit more to make those things happen. You know governor malloy though, when he ran. Oh, radio it. You know last year it actually was a long time a go, willie, so we asked him to come on the show and he was busy. Tried to get himthon morning. Tried to get him on this morning. Heres the good news, we got him on tape. Oh no stop. Saying what. I know what you are going to do . Im going to let him talk. Thats fair. Thats right. I think willie this is the fair thing to do. You let somebody talk. We are obviously concerned about all the taxes up there and automatic businesses that are being destroyed and all the hopes and dreams that are being dashed. So lets let him talk. There is what governor malloy had to say when he was run, for reelection this past fall. I dont believe there will be a budget deficit and i pledge there wont be one and i also pledge there will not be a tax increase. Thats not a promise i made four years ago. But it is a promise, willie that he made last fall. Okay. Thats just kind of hard to get around. The Governments Office the state needs to invest in transportation that will create jobs businesses and move people more quickly to connecticut. So this is not just a burden on the wealthy, a burden on the, kos, its an investment in the state of connecticut. Thats the argument. Thats the argument. You made the pledge a couple months ago. Lets go from connecticut to israel. All right. President obamas recent interview with an Israeli Television station could further strain a chilly reception with Benjamin Netanyahu. Its going to. It felt like things were going well. Yeah you know kind of like the taxes in connecticut. They were bad. Lets make it worse. A lot of republicans, because hes raising the possibility of allowing the United Nations to vote on statehood for the palestinians. President obama says its hard to ask the palestinians to hold good faith talks if it does not appear israel is doing the same. When he spoke right before the election. He was fairly unequivocal in saying that it wouldnt happen during his Prime Ministership. As long as he was Prime Minister, there boone two states. I think subsequently, his statements had suggested that there is the possibility of a palestinian state. But it has so many caveats, so many conditions,er that it is not realistic to think that those conditions would be met any time in the near future. Right. And so the danger here is that israel as a whole loses credibility. President obama also insisted that any disagreements he has with his israeli counterparts are fought personal. Oh yes they are. When im with bb we have good conversations. Theyre off the, we disagree but i enjoy jousting with him. Do you remember the meeting four years ago here at the white house when he took the time to speak ability some chapters in jewish history your jaws locked. Oh, no i think i was probably hungry and waiting for lunch. Aha. Pretty good. Oh come on. Your jaws locked. Come on. What . Nothing. Hes still so condescending to the israelis talking about other israelis reputation be is going to be damaged. Whatever. I think theyre mohr worried about whether their children get killed by missiles than they are about, you know what luxembourg thinks i think he was genuine in what he was saying. It may appear feisty. On a genuine meter, do you think the president was hungry when he was locking his jaws . No, you could see it written on his face. Of course not. It is personal with these two guys. They dont have a Good Relationship. The question is does their personal relationship impact the relationship between israel and the United States at large . And, obviously, if this is as chilly a relationship and as good a relationship as its been in a long time. I tell you what if the president allows a vote on the United Nations on statehood for the Palestinian People then that is declared as hostile an act, diplomatic act against israel. It could be because the United Nations has been a hotbed of something rivaling antisemitism across the globe since 1948. Well see what happens. Hey, i do want to thank by the way the speaker of the connecticut house. The advice when you said a battle. We both do battle for not coming on the house speaker, he obviously knew that we werent in favor of what theyre doing. Its nice of him to come on the show. That will all come on too. Well see what happens. Maybe there will be changes. Still ahead on morning joe, joe heilman, Eugene Robinson join us for our political round table. Very interesting polls out this morning. By the way, anybody thinking clintonsuburb a lock right now need to look at the Washington Post poll that came out. Its like remember when we first started the show. Something interesting is happening. Eight years ago this was the point we were at in the 2008 campaign. Yeah. And all spring and summer everybody was coming on saying hillary and guiliani were going to win. Well except me. Now, you were like hillary is really going to win. Obama. Why Governor Jindal says the biggest lie bill clinton ever told was not about Monica Lewinsky. He went there, really really cutting criticism of bill clinton.

Republican president ial contenders blocked florida hoping to impress lee scott and other leaders in the 2016 bath battleground state t. Forum was at disney world, mostly featured talk about the economy and the record put little contrast between republicans in the race. Wisconsin Governor Scott walker walked bad comments that he might skip the primary there to let them duke it out for their home state. The only pause i get was in deference to two favorite sons in florida, that i thought governor bush and senator rubio certainly would have a competitive advantage over anybody because of their presence as favored sons in this state having won state wide elections. If i were a candidate and would compete anywhere in the primary clock this season we think its incredibly
