yesterday s hearings. expert legal analysis straight ahead on all of that. meanwhile the former president is floating another birther conspiracy. we ll tell you who he is targeting this time and on capitol hill, how republicans will hold two hearings today focused on hunter biden and homeland security secretary mayorkas. we ll have reporting on that. plus, the new developments out of the middle east following secretary of state blinken s meeting yesterday in israel, the two sides appear to be at odds over plans for a post-war gaza. and days after a mid-air explosion on a boeing max 9 jet, the ceo is acknowledging the company s mistakes. we ll have the latest on that investigation and the very latest on secretary of defense austin and what is going on with his health. good morning. welcome to morning joe. it s a very busy wednesday, january 10th. joe? yeah, it s very busy, as far as boeing goes, not a great stretch that if your plane blow aparts in mid-air you take respo
quite strong, jobs still going up. wages up again too. but inflation is going up faster. it s a complicated picture and we know it is issue one as we close this midterm campaign. plus, big shifts toward republicans in house races. democrats though still in play to hold the senate and oprah wants to help. the tv mogul who made dr. oz a star says she would vote for his democratic opponent in pennsylvania. if i lived in pennsylvania, i would have already cast my vote for john fetterman for many reasons. and big political news that connects to important planning at the justice department. aides say donald trump could announce a 2024 presidential run just ten days from now. that won t stop the investigations but it could change how they are managed. now in order to make our country successful and sa safe glorious, i will probably do it again. get ready. that s all i m telling you, very soon. get ready. back to that story a bit later. up first new data on your number one is
decided i need more money back. while iowa is just days away it s his magical litigation tour and i mean, again, as joe put it earlier, he loves first of all, he went yesterday because that as chuck previously said, there s a delay aspect to it and there s also a fund-raising aspect to it and as joe said there s a narcissistic aspect, but he s fighting for his life here, his freedom here, these criminal cases, not the one in new york that s just money, that means a lot to him. these cases could put him in jail for the rest of his life and i think probably will. that s why he s desperate to make these immunity arguments even though they re hail marys at best, but he s looking at and he deeply has to be fearing in
