A check on the day ahead before morning joe, and president obama addresses the National Legions convention in charlotte today. Last week, American Legion vets wanted to season vets wanted to know more about the president s plan to vicks the v. A. Rob portman is set to speak later this morning in New Hampshire. This has 2016 watchers wondering if he is eyeing up a president ial run. That is going to do it on a tuesday edition of way too early. Morning joe starts right now. You look so much like the actor in seinfeld who played the dentist that i dated as elaine, you know . We actually had a kissing scene together. Over her career, she has won five emmys and had 18 nominations. Yeah. He was on seinfeld. Yeah. Good morning how funny is that . All of your shareholders actually won, mika. Yes breaking bad, which i love. Its not even there any more. And its still winning. They just won everything unbelievable. Brian cranston. Barnicle, you like breaking bad. I do, but i think Matthew Mcconaughey was good in true detective. It doesnt hurt that Brian Cranston got it but i hear you. Julia Louis Dreyfus. It went really well. Modern family came in big. They are still doing it. Its just a good show. There is also a moment that happened at the emmys last night with Sofia Vergara that some are
considering a little controversial. What was that . We will explain this later. Its actually causing controversy. I dont think its causing any problems for you, boys. No. But we will talk about it later when we do a full breakdown of the emmys which had so many good shows, really good programming. What a moving, sad, tragic shot of Michael Browns father. We will cover that in news. Says it all. Crying. Its just so unnatural for a father to bury his son. Thats terrible. And then internationally we talked about it before. You could see this coming a mile away. The United States looking like they are about to get really tough on isis and laying the groundwork for a serious strike. A lot of things going on. This president starting to, i think, turn the corner on facing up to the challenge of isis. He said it was like a jv team but not treating it like a jv team any more. I was reading. The Washington Post this morning. Mike was talking about something is fundamentally changed with americans and the spirit of our country and maybe we have changed as a people forever. Forever . I mean, i dont know. I look to the future. Im still optimistic and i think theres good reason. I know this has been a horrible summer. We have had problems with race riots and we have had a sagging economy and we have a tumultuous world stage and seem to have little control over that but i remain stubbornly optimistic because when our leaders lead with strength and resolve, good
things will happen. Think about this. A humanitarian crisis gripped a group of religious minorities in iraq a month ago. While europe sat by on their vacation from history and did nothing, it was americans and american air power that saved these people and stopped the genocide there. After receiving the tragic news of jim foleys death, that horrible, horrible tragedy, another family in massachusetts received good news that their son would be coming home after two years in captivity as an al qaeda hostage. Why . Because even a blood thirsty terrorist group like al qaeda has gotten the message that unlike europeans, american dont reward terrorism by paying ransom. Expect the next westerner to be grabbed and targeted for kidnapping to come through france and the numbers show this and i didnt know this before the jim foley situation before
that terrible tragedy. Frances negotiations with terrorists, mika, have literally bankrolled terror groups across the middle east in recent years. Do you see that number, mike . 125 Million Dollars in ransom money has been given over to groups like al qaeda and literally European Countries are bankrolling terror groups and doing what . They are encouraging them to take more terrorists. Yeah. Its been going on for sometime. Its been going on for sometime. France, through we have always negotiated with terrorists in one sense or another beginning with the iran contraaffair and the early hostages in the early 80s but never so pronounced at what france has done. Just to turn over cash and youre right. Its not to say the United States always gets it ride. Ronald reagans negotiations with terrorists almost brought down his presidency in the 1980s and the release of bowe bergdahl. This is showing the strength and resolve the world needs it to show against isis. Instead of criticizing president obama what he has done or not done the last six years, i encourage my republicans to understand he needs to stay strong and he need to make this growing Terror Threat look like the jv team he once said they were, and republicans who are desperate to shift the blame for iraqs chaos to this democratic president like that is going to wipe out what happened in 2003 and what we got wrong from 2003 to 2008, its time to stop playing political games and its time for us to look Forward Together. And i tell you what, mika, we need to do that because we have got tough choices to make in countries like syria where,
right now, as wall street journal says, we are laying groundwork there. Barack obama is going to get it from the left and the right. The other 80 of us who actually put our country ahead of our Political Party need to Work Together and we need to look forward. Syria is exactly what where we start in news. Defense Officials Say civilian aircraft are flying over syria after president obama gave his approval over the weekend. The campaign reportedly includes manned flights and drones together on Islamic State militants. The move could be seen as a sign the u. S. Is preparing military action against isis in syria. However, the white house says no decision has been made. Despite recent gains by militants within syria, the Assad Government is warning the u. S. Against getting involved on that side of the border. The United States is criticizing secret air strikes that were launched against
islamic militia in libya. They say the strikes were carried out by notification by egypt and the united arab emirates. They are trying to seize the country since gadhafi was overthrown and killed. The u. S. And other european allies says its a threat to democracy but egypt denies it. The militia gained control of tr tripolis airport. Lets bring in ayman mow held dean. Syrian poopgs figures are welcoming the new saying about time the u. S. Gets involved. They certainly want to see isis repelled and saying all along
the past several years because the International Community dragged its feet on supporting the rebels very early on it allowed for extremism to rise and why we have isis now threatening both sides of the border. But, at the same time, theres no doubt that if, in fact, the u. S. Gets involved in syria it would be a very interesting development. The syrian foreign minister yesterday warned the United States not to carry out any air strikes without close coordination with the Syrian Government. Ayman, thank you very much. It was a day full of tributes as thousands came together to say goodbye to Michael Brown. The 18yearold was laid to rest after an Emotional Funeral Service in st. Louis honoring his fathers wishes. Protesters stayed off the streets as the focus remind in the life of the young man killed by Police Two Weeks ago. The reverend al sharpton brought many of the mourners to their feet with his eulogy saying there must be justice for browns death and it must serve as a wakeup call to the
country. No community in america would tolerate an 18yearold boy laying in the street four and a half hours and we not going to tolerate it either whatever happened the value of this boys life must be answered by somebody. Michael brown doesnt want to be remembered for right. He wants to be remembered as the one that made america deal with how we going to police in the United States. We cant have a fit. We got to have a movement. A fit, you get mad and run out for a couple of nights. A Movement Means we got to be here for the long haul and turn
out chance into change. Our demonstration in the legislation, we have got to stay on this so we can stop this. A new usa today Pugh Research show police do a fair or poor job of treating racial and ethnic groups qaeequally. They say officers do a poor job. You get a sense how people feel across the country. Mike, right now, were at a turning point for the Police Officers in america. Not just on race relations. Just in general. Police in general. Like the story about, you know, this summer, i was sitting around with a bunch of white middle to upper middle class white guys who have never gotten in trouble with the law. They were sitting there talking about how the quality of a lot of Police Officers keeps going down and down and they seem more are pushing their weight around. Again, these are people that dont have to worry about walking down their streets. The key to any police department, small, medium or large, is training. Constant training and constant retraining. I talked about culture yesterday. Its a culture. Listen, joe, no matter where you are as a cop, you possess the four magic words that nobody else in america can say, you are under arrest. Those are powerful words and you have to be careful how they are used, how they are employed and when they are used and employed. Cops need constant training. Constant. A couple of Different Things have happened over time. Warren buffett, no stranger to the debate over taxes he is stepping into the center of the conversation once again. Wall street journal says the billionaire investor is expected to provide 25 of the financing for, get this, burger king to take over the canadian chain tim hortons. Wait a minute. The deal is drawing scrutiny because it would allow burger
king to move its headquarters across the border and sidestep u. S. Taxes. Buffett has long called for wealthier americans to pay a higher share of taxes. News of the proposed restaurant merger sent shares of both Companies Soaring about 20 each. Whoa. Hes always talking about, hay im a billionaire, i would be glad to pay more taxes. Here we are talking about him helping an american, an Iconic American Company flee to canada. The corporation doesnt have to pay any taxes and guess who does . We all get stuck with it. I dont get it. Is there so much value in the deal its not worth looking at that part. Tim hortons is an iconic canadian company. Its a religion in canada. Not just a coffee shop. A religion.
