but if republicans get their way, that may not matter. and we begin tonight with the two portrayals of donald trump. the first is the image he wants everyone to believe is the real trump, everyonified by his rather embarrassing digital trading card venture where he presented himself as a cowboy, a rock star and an actual superhero. it s the one his most ardent base ardently believes in. it s the one that earned him a literal cult. but the second image is revealing itself more and more as trump responds to his multiple indictments. it s the one where he is not the great and powerful whiz who lives in oz, but rather the man hiding behind the curtain, who is terrified and desperate. richard pryor killed that roles by the way, best movie ever. the point is trump has always been able to use his bravado and showmanship to avoid repercussions for his actions. but now at age 77, he is facing a situation that he cannot talk his way out of, with no powerful dad to bail him out and no
before the supreme court. plus, the gop rallies around henching walker, a day after a bombshell report that claims he paid for a girl s abortion. and there s a new home run team in at least the american league. yes, we ll show you the moment that aaron judge broke roger maris record. good morning. and welcome to way too early on this wednesday, october 5th. i m jonathan lemire. thanks for starting your day with us. we ll begin with a new twist in the battle over the classified documents that former president donald trump kept as his mar-a-lago home and club, after he left office. the former president has filed an emergency request, asking the supreme court to now intervene by allowing the special master to review the roughly 100 classified records that federal agents seized from the florida state back in august. specifically, the trump team asked the highest court in the land to vacate part of the ruling issued by the 11th circuit court of appeals. that ruling all
he is the king! case closed! how about aaron judge walks into history with a 62nd home run of this season breaking the american league record said by roger maris, and as far as you and i are concerned, willie, i m sure, breaking the single season all-time home run record. the only people that are in front of him have a massive asterisk, because they were all at the height of the roid war. all roided out themselves, but aaron judge, nome does he does he set this record. he does it with his mom in the stands and proves throughout this entire process he s really one of the, one of the good guys in he is. baseball today. i m chuckling watching that shot of his mother. that was just relief right there. she s been on the road with him. she s been, the last couple of weeks traveling show. tie the record 61. would he break it? you can just see her sort of fall back into her care, ah. finally, he did it. not a moment too soon. second to last day of the season. today last
Are you confident there will be enough turnout to ensure that the 50% threshold remains in effect? absolutely. you did the math, and there is no coincidence here. the extremist politicians in columbus, they looked a the same numbers you just mentioned and they said hey, we don t think we can win. so we re going to play a dirty trick. and we re going to try to hold a special election when people are on vacation, when we think they re not paying attention. so we can take away their right both to have a say directly in what s on our constitution in the future, but also to have a say in our reproductive rights and our health care decisions. so that s why ohio is on the front lines in the fight for abortion rights in america. and frankly, that s why i m so proud of the work that this coalition, the ohioans united for reproductive rights has done. i mean, the patient advocates, the rights leaders, the abortion
Out, like scott, former president trump, abortion leaders showing support for herschel walker and continuing to give money to him sort of stopping the blow. it s very unclear what the impact will be on the election. definitely a rough few days for the campaign. republicans at least at this point circled wagons around walker. we ll see in the fall with voters when new polling comes 0 ut in days ahead. thank you so much. thanks to all of you for getting up way too early on this wednesday morning. morning joe starts right now. [ cheers ] making history! he s done it! he has done it! 62! a single-season home run leader!
