Again in this new speakers race . Youd have to ask them. I dont know. Im just going to focus on doing the work im supposed to do. I think this is a question to the institution itself. I know in the past the other leaders together all believed this should never be in play, but im not worried. Thats Kevin Mccarthy brushing off a question about the future of his speakership. It comes a farright member of the house triggered a vote that could remove him from his leadership post. Well have the latest on that fight inside the republican party. Also ahead well bring you a recap of day one in Donald TrumpsCivil Fraud Trial here in new york city including the moment that seemed to enrage the former president. Plus, hunter biden will also be in court today. Well go through the new developments in that case as well as the Impeachment Inquiry into his father, the president. Good morning and welcome to Way Too Early on this tuesday, october 3rd. Im jonathan lemire. That mornings for starting your day with us. Well begin this morning, a busy morning, with mutiny in the House Republican congress. Congressman matt gaetz of florida officially filed a motion late last night to oust Kevin Mccarthy as House Speaker. At this point next week one of two things will happen. Kevin mccarthy wont be the speaker of the house, or hell be the speak of the houseworking at the pleasure of the democrats. A number of democrats have told me theyre going to do whatever Hakeem Jeffries says, and i believe them. And if Hakeem Jeffries wants to adauptd Kevin Mccarthy, then he can adopt him. Then at least he wont belong to me. The Lower Chamber now has until tomorrow to decide whether or not to keep mccarthy in the top spot. As of this morning his support is still up in the air. At least five republicans have gone on the record to publicly state they would vote to remove mccarthy, which means hell now have to draw on the support of House Democrats to maintain his speakership. Now, democrats for their part are torn on whether to save the speaker. While some see a world in which they can extract concessions from the California Republican in exchange for saving him, others see Saving Mccarthy as a bad idea after he singlehandedly launched an Impeachment Inquiry into President Biden. However, a source close to the democratic leadership tells nbc news that this all Depends On Mccarthy himself. They say if an arrangement is to be made, it will be up to the speaker to reach out, which hes reportedly not done, at least not. In response to all of this, mccarthy tweeted out a simple message. Quote, bring it on. To which gaetz responded, just did. This feels like a 1990s high school movie. As the speaker begins negotiations with members of the house to save his post, Minority LeaderHakeem Jeffries will be our guest on morning joe later this morning to discuss where they stand on all of this. Donald trump is expected to be back in court for day two. Yesterday the Punishment Phase began after the judge found trump, his two oldest sons, and his Company Liable last week. The former president sat with his arms crossed as his defense team and prosecutors from the new York AttorneyGenerals Office gave their Opening Statements. Sitting just a few feet away from trump was the Attorney General herself, Letitia James, Who Glared At Trump while cameras were briefly allowed inside the courtroom. An attorney for trump complained the former president did want a jury to hear the case, but the judge noted that his team had never asked for a jury trial, which would have been standard procedure. After Opening Statements prosecutors played Tape Depositions from trump, his sons, and as well as his former attorney, michael cohen, and his companys former chief financial officer, allen weisselberg. They then called their first witness, a former accountant who spent several years handling the former president s tax returns. According to our team at nbc news that was inside the courtroom, trump seemed to take issue with some of what was being said during that testimony and became extremely animated with his attorneys. His face is said to have become beat red while he pointed and finger waved at his lawyers. That aside for most of the Proceedings Trump appeared rather subdued during the trial. Outside the courtroom, though, he was anything but. Here is some of what he said to reporters during a lunch break. When you have the radical left Attorney General like Letitia James whos a disgrace to our country, who got elected on the fact that shes going to take down president trump, were going to take him down. This is called election interference, and worse than that, really much worse than that. And you dont get much worse than electionfortference. I got a call last week, sir, we lost part of the case. I said the trial didnt even start. The trial starts i guess today. He ruled that we lost a big part of the case because hes a Democrat Club politician. Hes a democrat operative, and hes a disgrace. A clearly agitated donald trump there. Joining us now msnbc justice and Legal Affairs analyst anthony coaly. He was most recently the top spokesman at the Department Of Justice under Attorney General merrick garland. Andy, great to see you. Good to be with you. Lets start there with the idea of a jury trial . Is that something the trump team could ask for . I have a cynical view about this allegation. I think what the trump team is trying to do here is lay the ground work for judicial bias on appeal. And the reason i say that, jonathan, you and i have been following and watching the trump team for years. This would be a vital mistake and someone would have been fired for this. And we would have certainly heard about it by now, so i think this is just a lame attempt to distract from whats going on. Certain he doesnt surround himself with the highest quality lawyers because he doesnt pay his attorneys. We heard from trump multiple times yesterday. Clearly performative. It wouldnt have any bearing on the case itself i think, so whats the reasoning behind it. Is he just playing for politics . This is new trump trial but same trump play book. Its attack the judges. Its attack the prosecutors, and portray himself as a victim all while denying the underlying facts. And the problem for him, jonathan, is that the facts in this case many of them have already been decided by this judge. The judge has already found him liable for fraud. The judge has already decided to revoke his business license, so i think what we saw yesterday was donald trump really trying to get some type of political benefit out of these very real political issues. Whats your analysis of what actually transpired inside the courtroom yesterday and what we should expect today . I think its all performative to be honest with you. This is donald trump really trying to rally the base. Over the last 36 hours msnbc and others have reported hes already sent out three fundraising solicitations to his supporters. And if you look at the coverage particularly in conservative media over the course of the last 24 hours, there is little oxygen for his republican president ial rivals to break through. So what we have now is donald trump on track to be the gop president ial nominee, and thats, i think, in part because members of the maga base are not paying attention. Theyre not focused on the facts in any of these individual cases. For many of these individuals i feel like all these cases have just melded together into one major i think way to paint trump as a victim of the radical left. Yeah, sort of this deep state blob and the details get lost because theres just so much. Lastly, do you think that what we saw yesterday both inside the courtroom and then trump, his tirades outside, make it more or less likely hell actually testify in this . So i dont take trump at his word. Anything trump says i take with a grain of salt. Any particularly lawyer here i think would advise him not to, but i think wed all have to wait and see what he actually does. Well be talking about it the case in the weeks ahead. Later this morning in another courtroom hunter biden is scheduled to be arraigned in Federal Court on Felony Firearm Charges which will take place in the state of delaware. The three charges stem from October Of 2018 when the president s son is accused of lying about his drug use when he was filling out forms while buying a gun there in wilmington. Hes expected to plead not guilty. Two of the charges carry maximums of ten years behind bars while the third carries a fiveyear sentence. But its rather unlikely that a nonviolent first time offender would receive those maximums if found guilty. Todays arraignment comes after a plea deal that Hunter Bidens attorneys struck with the government fell apart earlier this year in the appointment of a Special Counsel. Were also learning new details about the House Republicans expanding Impeachment Inquiry into Hunter Bidens father, the president of the United States. Three sources familiar with the matter tell nbc news that a federal prosecutor will take part in a closed door interview today with house investigators. U. S. Attorney for washington, d. C. , matthew graves, who also played a role in the hunter biden case, will sit for a voluntary interview with the house judiciary committee.

It is precisely 5 30 a. M. On the east coast, 2 30 out west on this tuesday morning. Im jonathan lemire. Thanks for being with us. Despite his history of targeted attacks, Donald Trumps recent Public Comments have taken an even darker and more aggressive turn. In just the last week alone trump has suggested that former joint chiefs chairman Mark Milley Shad be executed for what was a standard phone call he made with his chinese counterpart following the 2020 election. Then during a Speech On Saturday Trump called for shoplifters to be shot on site and joked about former House SpeakerNancy Pelosis husband being brutally attacked would a Hammer Inside his home last year, though. That rhetoric isnt turning off his supporters, though. According to new reporting from nbc news, heres how some of them reacted over the weekend when they were asked specifically about the threats against general milley. Treason is treason. Theres only one cure for treason. And what is that . Being put to death. Treason is treason, and we usually execute or imprison people for it. And all the treasonous actions i see in this day and age is thrown underneath the rug. Why wasnt he in front of a firing squad within a month . Violent rhetoric has always been what trump has done, but its getting to more dangerous and dark places even after january 6th. Joining us now Politics Reporter for semafor, shelby talcott. You had a smart story even though were just in october 2023 were still 13 months from actual election day. Feels like the general Election Campaign has already begun. And it feels like it is biden, it is trump. And certainly donald trump already eyeing past the gop Primary Field even though not a single ballot has yet been cast. Tell us about that strategy. This has been really interesting to watch because obviously as you said we still have a ways to go before the actual general election, but what trump is trying to do here is essentially close the door on all his rivals in a very far away second place, and so youve seen him go to michigan where hes trying to win over those auto workers that are typically biden voters. Youve seen him ramp up his rhetoric against joe biden in recent speeches, and then youve seen on the flip side joe biden is kind of doing the same. The Biden Campaign out with an ad last week really directly targeting trump. Joe biden is also speaking about the former president in his recent speeches. Even though theres a ways to go, its sort of in a way feels like the two front runners have already decided that the primary is over. Yeah, certainly polls would suggest americans not all that excited about a possible 2020 rematch, but both parties gearing up for one. Lets talk about the rest of that republican Primary Field, though. Theyre not giving up although they certainly havent really gone after trump. Yeah, some of them took on the former president but only to criticize his lack of appearance at the debate is. Not much about his record or rhetoric or possible criminal charges. Is there any sense thats going to change . No, i dont think so. And its been interesting also because the big question is what kind of an attack can trumps rile rivals use against trump thats going to be effective . You just talked about trump is branding up his violent rhetoric. Typically that would be something that you would think a Rival Campaign would hone in on, and they havent yet. Because you see his supporters which are people his supporters are trying to get on their side, are for this kind of rhetoric. So its been really difficult for campaigns to effectively find an attack line that actually translates and doesnt End Upturning off voters theyre trying to get. Shelby, i know youre in close contact with the trump campaign. Whats their current thoughts about what were seeing play out in a new york courtroom right now . This fraud trial hes already been found liable. Do they think theres any negative political impact here . Or is this simply about the former president s financial future and ego if he cant do business in new york anymore and is made to pay a very hefty fine . Listen, i think if you talk to trumps campaign, theyll always say of course these trials are not ideal, but theyre going to use them every turn of the way not just this trial but all the other legal issues theyre facing, theyre going to use that to his advantage. And so what theyre trying to do from a Campaign Perspective is merge the legal and campaign issues. So they actually in a way see this as a positive because so many of his supporters, you know, become even more defiant when these legal issues come up. And so they think it solidifies the support he has in a primary. Theyre doing plenty of fund raising off of it, too. Politics reporter for semafor shelby talcott, thank you as always. Still ahead here on Way Too Early, late night is back after a months long Writers Strike. Well have a look at how the hosts kicked off their big return and the jokes they said they waited all summer long to make.

The studio was so empty for so long nbc converted into the spirit of halloween. Thats jimmy fallon up here on the sixth floor here at 30 rock. Were turning to the tonight show last night after the Writers Strike ended. Time now for business and for that lets bring in cnbcs Julianna Tatelbaum who joins us live from london. Good morning, julianna. Stock futures are relatively unchanged tlrng following a session that saw the 10year treasury yield hit its highest level since 2007. Tell us what thats about and what can we expect today . Hey, john, good morning. Weve been watching bond yields rise for several weeks now in the u. S. A lot of the move higher has come up to the Federal Reserve and essentially sent the message Interest Rates are going to remain higher than longer than previously expected. In terms of Equity Markets today u. S. Futures indicate a fairly muted change. It could prove to be a Roller Coaster day. Yesterday we saw some pretty heavy selling in equities for most of the day, but a rally left the s p 500 a little changed on the day. Weve got the release of job openings for august due out later today. And at the end of the week on friday weve got the nonpharm payrolls report. Shares of tesla dropped after the auto maker reported pretty disappointing sales figures. Give us the read out on that. This report was actually all about deliveries. Tesla for the first time in more than a year in the Third Quarter reported a drop in deliveries compared to the previous quarter. It was also oo lower figure than wall street was expecting. Estimates were around 455,000, total deliveries for the quart, and they actually managed to deliver just over 445,000. The reason for weaker deliveries, number one some planned factory closures, shutdown since they upgraded various factories. But two a more Macro Economic reason, higher Interest Rates are putting pressure on electric vehicles. Tesla has been in extra focus over the last few months as it recently cut prices across inventory of existing vehicles and thats put pressure on some of its competitor tuesday do the same. And lastly apple is dealing with overheating in some of its new iphones. Customers really complaining about it. Whats happening, and is there a solution . Customers are really complaining about it for sure, and you can see why. Its got to we alarming if your phone is starting to overheat in your hands. Apple has come out over the weekend saying theyre going to be issuing a Software Update to address these customer complaints. An apple spokesperson told cnbc weve identified a few conditions which can cause iphone to run warmer than expected. The device might feel warmer in the last few days after setting it up or restoring the device. They also found a buck in the ios 17 system impacting some users, and theyre also seeing an issue with Third Party Apps causing the system to overload. So theyre looking into all those things but they assure customers theyre working on a Software Update. As for sales, they continue to fly off the shelves. Reports affqueues outside the apple stores still today despite the issues of overheating. I have a slightly older iphone but ive noticed that, too. My phone also has been overheating of late, so lets hope they fix it. Yeah, im in the same boat. Yeah, its become really an issue. Well continue this offline.

Theres new reporting in the Washington Post about how parents trying to get the updated Covid Vaccine for their children are facing a growing number of challenges in doing so. Distribution delays, shortages at pharmacies, Supply Chain Issues and financial obstacles confronting Pediatric Practices are all contributing to these challenges. As fall respiratory illness season takes shape and an expected Winter Increase in covid cases loom. Cases already went up. The post points out the federal government is no longer buying and distributing all vaccines, unleashing a host of complications. The new shots are recommended for everyone older than six months. Joining us now founding director for boston universitys center for emerging Infectious Diseases in policy and research. Doctor, great to see you again. Though not for a good reason, unfortunately. Covid numbers going up. Lets be clear this isnt the surge that weve seen other times, but they are still starting to skyrocket, and now were having these reports about parents in particular struggling to get the updated Covid Vaccine for their kids, and some surveys suggest more than half of adult americans have decided to not get a booster. So just lay it for us. Should parents be getting boosters for their kids . Should grown ups be getting the booster shot for themselves . How worried are you about the winter ahead . Jonathan, its never a good thing, right, when you see me on tv. I think what youve seen is this year compared today last year even as the cases go up, we are seeing a population thats a lot more immunized, and so were hoping the same kind of deadliness weve seen with prior surges, that we may not see that. But you know what happens, the flu and cold season brings about rsv, influenza, and covid19. And last year in 2022 we saw a tripledemic and overwhelmed the hospitals. Youre right for adult and child vaccination. I think the highest attention here should be for the 100 million high risk americans out there. And october, this is the Perfect Timing for most people to get all three of these vaccinations. Who qualifies for a covid saxeen everyone over six months. Flu vaxoon everyone over six months. And 100 million at high risk for covid and influenza. And rsv pregnant people and infants as well as high risk children. And the reason to get it now is what do we do every year regardless of whats going to happen for this virus . Next three months were going to start gathering for thanksgiving and christmas. At least for covid at least for the first four months you have mild protection of illness even though the severe protection those four months were going to be protected when the travel and gatherings are coming up. Lets go through real world advice for people watching. You mentioned started. Its a good time to get the flu vaccine, the Covid Vaccine, also the rsv shots if you can. So should people be getting them at the same time . And where would you recommend people get these vaccines . Because we are seeing shortages at places like pharmacies. Yeah. I think that shortages, at least for adult vaccinations, are improving. As you said, one of the issues has been, over the prior years, the government has actually, you know, acquired these, distributed this, played a major role in ensuring theyre stocked everywhere. This year, there are so many more actors that are involved in this process, so youre seeing the growing pains, which, unfortunately, i think it is a reflection of what we need to improve in our Health Care System at baseline. So the best advice that i can give folks, what im hearing is a lot of times, people are showing up at pharmacies and finding out that either its not available or that it is not covered by their insurance. In those cases, many times, its because theyre in a place thats not in their network. What should you do . The best advice is for you to call your Health Insurance first to find out where the facilities are that are going to be in your network. Once you make the appointment, ensure the day you go in to call the pharmacy and say, hey, want to make sure you still have the vaccines in stock, before you go in. That allows you to not make the additional trips or to worry that something may not be covered. Real world and helpful advice there.

Bloomberg news is reporting President Joe Biden may start making calls to allies as soon as today to assure them that the United States support for ukraine will continue. Bloomberg cites people familiar with the matter in its reporting. That news follows the approval of a Spending Bill on saturday that avoided a Government Shutdown but omitted any money, any money at all, in Military Assistance for ukraine. It is now a major topic of conversation in washington. Joining us now, Washington Bureau chief for bloomberg news, peggy collins. Thanks for being here this morning. So lets just talk about this issue. It was certainly a surprise that a deal was struck on saturday. Keep the government open. Also a surprise that there was not a cent for ukraine in there. We know that theres been the support for ukraine has largely bipartisan support. There are a group of republicans that are saying that this needs to stop. Where do things stand now in terms of getting that money to kyiv . Well, i think President Biden has said, you know, he expects congress to follow through and get some funding in a separate bill, but Speaker Mccarthy has said that he wants to tie that money to u. S. Border security. So its clear that there are some cracks forming in terms of support for ukraine and in what order it goes in terms of whether congress is going to put it first or put it second. Theres some in the west wing that have signalled perhaps some support for linking Border Security and ukraine funding, but it raised a lot of eyebrows over the weekend when President Biden seemed to suggest that Speaker Mccarthy may have already agreed to keep ukraine funding going. Perhaps as part of a deal for him to preserve his speakership. White House Press Secretary was pressed yesterday and danced around it. Is it your sense, is there a suggestion a deal was struck, or is this simply the president saying, well, in our previous talks back in the debt ceiling in may, mccarthy signalled hed support ukraine, and his public rhetoric has, for the most part, been the same . I think were reporting that out. Its unclear, as you said, jonathan, whether or not President Biden was referring to an ongoing expectation, that theres a deal that congress will continue to support ukraine, or whether there was some talks over the weekend. Clearly, mccarthy is going to need democratic support to hold on to his speakership, it looks like, but the question is also, how soon do they come back with a bill on ukraine . Thats one of the things were looking at. We have a story out about biden, expected to call some allies as soon as today. We have reporters on both sides, in europe and the u. S. , really chasing that, because the allies are questioning, is there some waning of support in the u. S. For ukraine . Thats where i wanted to go next. What is the degree of alarm in the european capitals, particularly in kyiv . I think they are asking questions. You know, they are trying to determine whether or not the u. S. Is really going to continue, at a time when it is key. We had reporting last month that president zelenskyy is expecting and wanting to fight through the winter this year, compared to some of the backing off they did last year. He thinks thats really the way theyre going to be able to make this counteroffensive happen. But i think thats something he needs the u. S. To support in order to do going into this winter. Conditions for fighting are only growing more challenging. The muddy season and the brutal winter they usually have over there in ukraine. What would be the mechanism for when, assuming there is more funding for ukraine, what is the sense of how itd happen . An independent Spending Bill or simply part of the next continuing resolution or longer Term Agreement to fund the government . What say said so far, itd be a separate bill. The question is, how soon and how much . Lets go back to the other part of this, where if, you know, mccarthys proposal is linking ukraine funding to Border Security, whats the appetite there among other democrats . Do they think thats a deal worth taking, and are they seeing the issue that, look, we need to deal with this Migrant Crisis right now, because were seeing big cities, often big blue cities, struggling with the influx of numbers, also as we head into an election . I was just going to say that, jonathan. We are heading into an election year, and the issue of immigration and cities and this migrant issue at the border, and in other cities, is becoming one of the biggest in the election season. I think on both sides of the aisle, people are realizing that the American Public wants some solution here, but the question is, how . I mean, weve been struggling with this Immigration Issue for decades, in republican and democratic administrations. Theres no suggestion there would be comprehensive immigration reform, but could there be even additional funding . I think thats possible and i think that is where mccarthy is going to try to go. Basically say, hey, we want funding for Border Security to continue funding ukraine. Terrific stuff, as always. Peggy collins of bloomberg news, thank you. Thanks so all of of you for getting up Way Too Early on this tuesday morning. Morning joe starts right now. Five months off, and we are back i am so excited to be here. I am so exci
