Female senator. The first female senator Congress Woman kyrsten will faid face off against Martha Mcsally who defeated kelly word and farmer Sheriff Joe Arpaio in her bid. Mcsally, who tried to distance herself from the outgoing senator, jeff flake, yesterday refused to comment on flakes service to the state. Watch this. Reporter has he sebbed the state well . You guys can sort that out. Joining us later on morning joe, request itself the governor andrew gillum. Its been a year since Hurricane Maria and puerto rico was left devastated. Report from George Washington university estimates that nearly 3,000 people died in the after math of the storm. Thats dramatically higher than the previous official count of just 64. The storm ripped through puerto rico last september destroying homes and leaving much of the island without power for months. Puerto ricos governor says they are reflecting the new estimate. It is pain. Its painful. And its really not the number. Its just the, you know the continuous realization that a lot of people lost their lives. After the category 4 storm tore across the island last year, President Trump touted the low death toll. I hate to tell you, puerto rico, but you have thrown our budget a little out of whack, because we spin at lot of money on puerto rico, thats fine. We saved a lot of lives. If you look at the every death is a horror, but if you look at a real catastrophe like katrina and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that dierkd everybody around this table and everybody watching can really be very proud of whats taken place in puerto rico. The white house put out a statement yesterday reading, in part, quote the president remains proud of all the work that the federal family undertook to help our fellow citizens if puerto rico. The federal government will continue to support the government of puerto rico and the puerto rican communities for years to come. Last week, President Trump acknowledged what his top advisers have been saying for months, that north korea is not taking steps to end the north korea missile programs. The large scale exercises between the u. S. And south korea james mattis says may be reinstated. We took the step to suspend several of the largest exercises as a good faith measure coming out of the singapore summit. We have no plans at this time to suspend any more exercises. We suspended several exercises at the direction of the president , the good faith effort was made. We have had we have done no planning for suspending others. After the singapore summit back in june, President Trump cancelled those exercises saying they are too costly. He called them provocative war games. Its a characterization secretary mattis was asked about yesterday. Reporter if the u. S. Goes forward with the exercise again as they have annually next year, are they now a provocative. I dont have a crystal ball right now. Lets see how the negotiations go. Even answering a question in a in that manner could influence the negotiation. Lets let the negotiation lets let the diplomats go forward. We all know the gravity of the issue we are dealing with. Back to President Trump accusing google and other tech giants bias claiming they are rigging search rules against him. He says google and others are suppressing voices and hiding information in news that is good. That attack came after Fox Business Network aired a thinly sourced segment on the topic the night before. Now Administration May be looking at whether Google Searches should be regulated. I think google is really taking advantage of a lot of people. I think thats very serious thing and is serious charge. We have literally thousands and thousands of complaints coming in. You just cant do that. So i think google and twitter and facebook, theyre really treading on very, very troubled territory and they have to be careful. Its not fair to large portions of the population. Reporter does the president believe or does the administration feel there needs to be some form of regulation for google or what exactly wha was the president speaking ability . Well let you know. Were looking at it. They put out a statement, Google Search is not used to set a political agenda and we dont bias our results towards any political ideology. Amid the mu skepticism the bilateral trade deal, the president took to twitter tweeting out, i smile at senators and other talking about how good free trade is for the u. S. What they dont say is that we lose jobs and over 800 billion dollars a year on really dumb trade deals him these law makers are fine with this. We feel e 12 hours later, he tweeted out, quote, our new trade deal with mexico focuses on farmers, growth for our country, tearing down trade barriers, jobs and having companies brought back into our company. It will be a big hit. Nebraska senator ben sass responded in a statement saying, quote, this is simply wrong. Trade creates american jobs, period. This is bake economics, and actual American Experience for the last 75 years. Well, during his announcement of the deal, trump appeared to threaten, to leave out canada, but members of congress, including republican pat toomey says, there is a lot more to it than that. Can the president unilaterally kill nafta without coming to congress . No, no, absolutely not. We certainly want to see canada as part of this. But the president cant use the trade Promotion Authority that he was given, right, the expedited procedures in the senate especially to switch this to a Bilateral Agreement when the president informed congress and invoked tpa, it was for the purpose of reforming faust. A Bilateral Agreement with mexico is not a reform of nafta. Its something entirely different. We have the last major primary from november. Joining us a role call journalist w. The results from last night. What does it mean as far as setting the stage for november and especially those really hotly contested races we watch, especially in arizona and what does that mean for the president as those misterms approach . Yeah, have you two competitive races in arizona and florida. Theyre teed up. Martha mcsally is facing a competitive race against kyrstin. Its a top of the broadcast, mechanically kyrstin. Its a top of the broadcast, mechanically tried to be a little more conservative. She declined to praise flake yesterday as you mentioned. She won fairly handsly. It was a threeway contest. Look for her to potentially moderate now that that primary is over. In florida, again another really competitive race for scott presumed to win the republican nom nation. He didnt have any trouble last night. She bringing a lot of money and strong challenge towards bill nelson. A stunning one out of florida, the Gubernatorial Race out of that state. I want to switch gears and talk about the drama inside the president s administration, particularly his relationship with Jeff Sessions. There are reports that President Trump has for now at least decided to hold off on firing the attorney general. What is the likelihood President Trump actually sticks to that promise and what do we expect to see if, in fact, he doesnt and he does go ahead and fire Jeff Sessions . What kind of impact would it have on some of his top aides and hess advisers . Who knows the likelihood of trump doing or not doing anything is. I think can you say for sure a lot of republicans are nervous about him axeing sessions especially before the midterm. That would throw a lot of chaos into a chaotic administration, especially in these suburban house districts through the administration is unpopular. Thats something they dont want to see. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out, if, in fact, it happens. We want to talk to you again if just a little bit. Stick around for us, please.

Instead, hell mail them on a flash drive to anyone who pays. Suggest a price, so. I have the right to give things away for free related to guns, information for helping you make a gun, ki give it away. Reporter the instructions are already online. Wilson posted them before 20 states attorney generals cited him. The walk state attorney general issued a statement, i trust the federal government will hold cody wilson, a selfdescribed cryptoanarchist accountable to that law. If they dont, President Trump will be held responsible for anyone that is hurt or killed by these weapons. President trump tweeted last month, i am looking into 3d plastic guns. Already sold to the nra, it doesnt make sense. In june, they dropped 3 the instructions. Gun control advocacy warns that could put ghost guns into the hands of criminals and terrorists. These guns can slip through a metal detector, be used in hijacking, taken into a high security environment a concert or sporting event. All of those are serious concerns.
