New York City officials say drivers could expect the slowest traffic of the year, you know traffic is slow when biden says, im just going to get out and walk. [ laughter ] earlier today, President Biden delivered his final u. N. Address. Biden called for concern and then added do what the hell you want. I dont care anymore. Good morning, welcome to Morning Joe. Its wednesday, september 25th. Were going to bring you the big moments from President Bidens final u. N. Address, calling for Unity And Partnership, amid growing global turmoil. Meanwhile, Donald Trump continues to take a much different tone on worldwide issues including the russian invasion of ukraine. Hes also doubling down on his commitment to tariffs. Well play for you those comments. It all comes as Vice President Kamala Harris is set to give a major economic address and close the gap on Who Americans Trust more to handle the economy. Only with willie and me we have the host
one of trump s loudest defenses following the has been a chest pounding declaration that he it doesn t matter that they wound up there. he said that, quote, everything was declassified. but so far, that argument has been noticeably absent from any declaration by trump s lawyers in court. this morning, in a legal filing, trump s attorneys once again failed to say that trump declassified any documents. furthermore, they are insisting that actually these documents might not in fact be classified to begin with. essentially, trump s team is saying, don t trust the doj, because who knows if these papers are really classified. over and over again in their 40 page filing the 100 classified documents identified by the doj, the justice department, or referred to by trump s legal team as, quote, purportedly classified. yes, that s classified in quotes. a little over two hours after that sharply worded filing, trump s attorneys in the justice department appeared in federal court in b
representatives all the time that they thought was appropriate to comply with their legal obligations to return official documents, including potentially classified records. i think it is really important to highlight the fact that one of trump s own lawyers conceded to the washington post yesterday that the warrant, which the lawyer saw, indicated the warrant was seeking information relating to classified information. the president is in significant legal jeopardy if he retained classified information at mar-a-lago and especially if he failed to turn it over to the department and the fbi all these months later. david, since we have you, let s get this out there right now, because people have been asking questions comparing this to the situation, the investigation surrounding hillary clinton s emails. how is this different? we don t have enough factual information yet to compare all the many ways this may be different, john. the clinton investigation stands on its own.
science guy coming up. and also making the beat debut is one of the few live witnesses from the january 6th committee hearings, an expert who stuck to the fact about donald trump s lies and found telling the truth can become something of an act in the maga universe. all of that is coming up here but our top story right now is about democracy, and i d like to clearly tell you what we re trying to do around here. so let me tell you up front right now this is a little different than our typical start to this news program the beat. right now i m going to try to walk through the broader path of how democracy is in danger even beyond how that point itself has become a kind of rhetorical refrain in washington, a refrain that is also true. so we re going to go through that right now, me and you together, and then turn to a special expert on this a little later. the mid-term elections may occur on one day in november, and we know that, of course, is election day. but these primari
Areas, up to 35 inches of rain, because this is a massive rain making system, and due to complicated weather patterns, chad can explain, itll probably stall out in texas. Weve lost power to 63,000 homes in this area, thats Corpus Christi, theyve put together a boil order, thats a recaution, with so much water around here, essentially the citys Drinking Water could be contaminated. And the wind are not expected to dramatically die down any time soon. So, the hard shp really is not coming to a end, were shifting to a more difficult phase. Martin, well have chad along in a moment, there are 131 Miles Per Hour winds. How does this compare to the other hurricanes youve covered. You and i have both been out in a lot of them. Time. Because if the water does pile up as is expected, it could cut off not only rescue efforts to come in but Escape Routes to get out. Thats what you saw in new orleans after katrina. This is not a katrina, its a very different circumstance, but the danger is extremel
