i understand it. in fact, trump made the republican party the party of working americans in a way that probably hasn t been true for almost 100 years. yeah, because in 100 years, there hasn t been a politician who said, i m going to make this for third graders to understand what i m talking about. talking on that level? that was newt gingrich encouraging ron desantis to get on the level of third graders. i m not joking. you know, kind of like donald trump does. wonder what he means. this is a tough hurricane. one of the wettest we ve ever seen from the standpoint of water. rarely have we had an experience like it, and it certainly is not good. oh, my god. one of the wettest we ve had. good morning. welcome to morning joe. hope you ve had a good week. it is friday. friday, may 26th. let s bring in with us the host of way too early, white house bureau chief at politico, jonathan lemire. the host of inside with jen psaki, jen psaki. she s a former white house press
