ahead of the tropical storm. what it means for families still looking for answers. and former president trump appears to acknowledge some of the tax schemes alleged by new york prosecutors in the case against the trump organization. good morning and welcome to morning joe, it is monday july 5th, we hope everybody had a great fourth of july. we ll start with president biden marking the celebration on the lawn at the white house. part of what he called the summer of freedom, giving new meaning to the independence day holiday as he spoke about the nation s progress against covid-19. this year, the fourth of july is a day of special celebration for we are emerging from the darkness of years a year of pandemic and isolation, a year of pain, fear and heartbreaking loss, just think back to where this nation was a year ago. think back to where you were a year ago. and think about how far we ve come from silent streets [ cheers and applause ] from silent streets to crowd

Because of donald trump, and the headlines, this is the film celebrating mcdonald s, and michael keaton super sizes mcdonald s and births trump s u.s. what is the connection? i will give you the big difference. the president-elect wow, that s hard to say. there s no doubt he probably worked hard. i can t judge that, i was not there. but he was given a big jump monetarily, right? he just was, and ray crock was not, ray crock had nothing and he built this up himself, and in terms of, you know packaging and sloganing, and creating something, golden arches. there s a lot of those
