You went and golfed. Do you want that back . You know, it is always a challenge when youre supposed to be on vacation. Because youre followed every where and part of what i would love is a vacation from the press. Theres no doubt that after having talked to the families, where it was hard for me to hold back tears listening to the pain that they were going through, after the statement that i made, that i should have anticipated the optics. You know, thats part of the job. Its Serious Business and you care about it deeply. But part of this job is also the theater, part of it is, you know, how are you its not something that always comes naturally to me, but it matters. And im mindful of that. Oh, good lord. Were here. Good lord . What do you mean . Youre talking in my ear. Im excited. I accept him with open arms. I missed you. Been away. Field work. Field work. Oh, the kids. Dont overdo it. Willie and i have this, we love the kids. Thats all im going to say. We also have msnbc
contributor dorian warren. What a title for a young guy. Im older than i look. I wont say a number. How old your . 38. Youre so young. Happy birthday. Youll have to get used to what we do here on morning joe. Lots to talk about. A lot of clowns. Clowns run out joe has lots of pot shots to go with the president , im sure. The president , though, i got to say first of all chuck todds interview i thought the interview what was so fascinating about it is okay, thank you. You just took that off of me. So i do meet the press yesterday. Great job. I get home and my 11yearold daughters says to me last night i saw you on meet the press. I go, really . My kids dont usually watch me on tv, they just dont. I said how did doi . She said you had a big piece of lint right here. All day. I said nobody could tell me until now. She watched you once on tv. Its distracting when you roll around in cat hair before you go on tv. Everybody has their thing they do before they go on tv. As you were saying. I thought the president was engaged and i thought he did well. I actually found myself saying i think hes got this just about right. As you know, thats unusual. It is. For me to say that. Lets face it i havent always been the biggest support of barack obama. I called the stimulus package a steaming pile of garbage. Said his Health Care Plan was bad for america. You were wrong. Bad for america. I said his massive Spending Program in 2009 was bad for american capitalism. The kids loved that one online. I repeatedly warned against tripling the number of troops in afghanistan, i condemned the drone policy and i had concern about a management style that leaves him isolated in d. C. And his own white house. But when it comes down to facing the greatest threat since 9 11 i think this president has it just about right. Let republicans and Hillary Clinton play the cynical game that politicians love to play by second guessing his lack of action in syria and ranting on what might have been. Lets not argue counter realist on this beautiful september morning. Lets just stick to reality. Americans would not have support ad third war against a Muslim Country in less than a decade and as eisenhower taught us during the suez crisis in 56, less can sometimes be more when it comes to wars in the middle east. Because the president refused to rush in with guns blazing in the
isis crisis, when he goes before the American People on wednesday night what will happen . Hell have the arab league behind him. You had the leader of the arab league basically saying we need the u. S. Over here. For once its going to be nice to actually go into battle against, ill say it, an evil force where were not going it alone, right . Yes. But i think theres one key thing we should be looking for wednesday night and thats whats Congress Role authorizing any action that we might take in iraq and syria. This is broader than the president this, is president ial power versus congressional power. Congress has a significant role to play in asking the right questions and authorizing force. I would argue for a limited time. All right. Well talk about that. Well start there because we have a little bit of what the president said yesterday make his case for action. Here it is. The next phase is now to start going on some offense. We have to get an Iraqi Government in place and im optimistic that next week we should be able to get that done. I want everybody to understand we have not seen any immediate intelligence about threats to the homeland from isil. Thats not what this is about. What its about is an organization that if allowed to control significant amounts of territory, to amass more resources, more arms, that over time that could be a serious threat to this would. We got a lot to talk about this morning including incredible story coming out of atlanta, atlantic hawks story. What have you noticed about the president yesterday in chucks interview . I saw some emotion. I saw some passion out of him, on the obama level. Hes not going to get fired up and scream at the camera. Hes a pretty mellow guy. He talked about the optic, a word we used and overused about him playing golf immediately after the statement of james foley being executed. He said i probably got that wrong. Thats the first time we herd him say theres something about theater in politics. The lead story is whats happening with isis but an interesting footnote. Measured and careful actually worked in this interview while at other times it seems disengaged. But these are situations that do call for a measured, careful action with other countries helping. Its making sense. Beginning to make sense. Well see what happens when he addresses the nation wednesday night. The Atlanta Hawks are going up for sale. Bruce levenson said he sent an insensitive email in 2012 written to three team executives. Levenson listed his concerns including the majority of fans being black. Cheerleaders being black. And hiphop music being played at the arena saying quote my theory is the black crowd scared away the whites and there are simply not enough affluent black fans to build a significant season ticket base. The league had been investigating the email prior to levensons decision to sell. Levenson said by focusing on race i sent the unintentional and hurtful message that our white fans are more valuable than our black fans. If youre angry about what i wrote, you should be. Im angry at myself too. Nba commissioner adam silver said, as mr. Levenson acknowledged the views he expressed are entirely unacceptable and are in stark contrast to the core principles
of the National Basketball association. We have to separate these things out. I understand what the Commission Certificate saying. This guy just talked about southern whites, southern whites have a problem going to a place where they are in the minority. That may have been okay. The nba commissioner can act shocked all he wants. I read an espn article yesterday this guy said something in a very inartful clumsy way that every front office in the nba is grappling with, how to get white suburban fans in an arena along with people of color. Can you just say lets we have to find ways to make this a more inclusive experience. Give us the background. I lived in atlanta for seven years. Its a tough sports town. The hawks have struggled with attendance for many years. I think what he said in a private email was he should not have said it, obviously,
shouldnt have said it the way he said it. Hes talking about demographics. Hes talking about getting, the nfl talks about courting female fans. This is talking about courting more suburban white fans. And i think he said it in a way that was ugly and he did the right thing Self Reporting it and took himself out of the game. Its a problem not just in atlanta, its a problem in other leagues, how do you fill these arenas. They have struggled with it for decades. What was shocking to me reading the emails is how bad of a manager he is. Done he have staff to do the demographics and Data Collection on what will attract fans to the game . Hes just spouting theories that has no basis in reality. Thats the crux of the problem for me. And joe as you point out this is not isolated to this team, its how the front office thinks. I hope they use data to support
those assertions. The idea playing hiphop in timeout is the reason why your fans are not coming . What your talking about. A lot of the white kids in suburbs are buying at least half the hiphop music. What do you think of his apology . Its self serving. Its a good pr move for it. Hell come out fine because hell sell a stake of the team and walk away. You dont buy it . No, not at all. In a few hours new Jersey Governor Chris Christie will help reverse Atlantic Citys bad fortunes. Hell lead a summit how to turn around the casino industry. Four casinos are expected to close this year costing nearly 8,000 jobs. Hes returning from a tripe to mexico which drew comparisons for a dry run for a 2016
president ial campaign. The governor also toned down his typically blunt style. But despite a successful trip christie returns to the harsh political realities of home. The dnc is launching an ad blitz in new jersey today reminding residents its been one year since the bridge scandal. For the second time this year, fitch has downgraded the states bond rating. Citing economic woes including governor Chris Christie to cut pension payments. Joan rivers had a final goodbye yesterday as she requested in her autobiography. It was hollywood all the way.

Ive always said president should be able to golf or do whatever he wants to do. He made some clumsy mistakes. The white house said they dont do theater. They do theater. They dont do theater they dont want to do. In this case, it was good to hear the president say im not really good at it. I probably should be a little bit better at optics. Thats hard for him. I cant even watch that loser talk because that stop. You look great and did great. Time for the must read opinion pages. Joining us now on set, columnist
for the daily beast and staff writer for the hill. Let me start with twauhe wall street journal. President obama says he still plans to unilaterally rewrite Immigration Law but not until after the election so he can spare democrats in congress from the wrath of voters for doing so. Is that fair . You know, talking to a producer and he asked me about the performance and went on for ten minutes about chuck todd. Oh, you and inpresident. Generally as he did it was a go goldilock performance. Everybody knows its a political decision. Absolutely its a political decision. And, you know why is that okay and other times its not . Why not just say its a
political decision. Why not just admit it. Yes politics is involved here. And, hes going to risk hes doing it for the senate but risk a turn out problem with a lot of the base in the democratic party. You look at the stakes. I guarantee you mary ann landrieu in louisiana doesnt want it. Arkansas, mark pryor. Just say it. Let me get to the piece in the hill. Obamas care second year bring news challenges. Health insurance exchanges are set to reopen for enrollment 2019 months. This countdown has the white house and federal Health Officials bracing to see if the system encounters any fresh technical problems. The whole team is focused on avoiding the chaos of last year when healthercare. Gov was unable to hand all small number of users and floundered for months. Are you saying theres a rocky road ahead . Do we know . There could be. Theres parts of that website that have not been fully
constructed and we just found out that it was hacked in a small way in july and so theres certainly onthespot right now answering questions. We do know there was an enormous text surge and enormous amount of money spent and around the clock work to make sure the website was functional by the end of spring. Remember this time last year nobody anticipated it would go as badly as indict. I think they are focused this time on getting it right. On isis i have tom friedman writing, the most effective leadership abroad starts with respect earned from others seeing us commit to doing great and difficult things at home. That is how america inspires others to action. And the necessary impactful thing that america should do at home now is for the president and congress to lift ourselvesimposed ban on u. S. Exports which would significantly dent the global high price of crude oil. And bind that with long overdue
comprehensive tax reform that finally values our environment and security. Nothing would make us stronger and putin and isis weaker, all at the same time. I agree with that. Were talking about isis. Isis aint looking at our tax policy. Isis dont care about our oil export policy. If you want to stop isis theres only one way to stop isis. I remember a couple of years ago we had a Pulitzer Prize winner on here saying the Bush Administration is doing this and that because the pakistanis want to be like us. Dr. Brzezinski started laughing and said youre a fool. They do not want to be like us. They want to be the opposite of us. Come on. I one what tom is saying. We need to get our house in order. Getting our house in order will not face the isis crisis. Killing bad guys and blowing up their equipment. People want to put them in
two coordination. Either bomb them back to the stone age or change our domestic policy and they will back off. Not going to happen. This is an incredibly complex situation. Thats why the president had a very difficult time. How do you think hes handling it . Some neocons in the republican party, Hillary Clinton, all second guessing, we should have been stronger in syria. I think hes got it about right so far. You have to be why he got elected president in the first place. Hes calibrated it fairly well. Hes taking the right opportunity to speak to the country. I think wednesday is a big night. What do they want to hear on capitol hill . Do you think republicans especially are going to step forward and engage this president and become a partner in a battle against isis . No. Theres too much animosity
between the white house and capitol hill. We have senator john mccain and Lindsey Graham speaking for that group. Its not politically popular to go out and say i want to commit a lot abroad and put troops on the ground and all of these things. You see a variety of lawmakers taking opinions on this but i think for the white house to come through and work with lawmakers is really going to be a long shot at this point. Interesting. Ted cruz is using this now as taunt to say im going to run. All right. Thank you both very much. Still ahead on morning joe, bill krystal and Janet Napolitano they had the funniest. Never with their likely downtown kids love these two when they get together. On immigration. Right . You got label stuff going. A bunch of news. Well get to that. First how far should the u. S. Go to defeat isis. The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee congressman mike rogers standing by with his answers. Morning joe will be right back. Hey, i notice your car yeah. Its in the shop. Its going to cost me an arm and a leg. You shoulda taken it to midas. They tell you what stuff needs fixing, and what stuff can wait. Highfive arg brakes, tires, oil, everything. whistling

At massmutual were owned by our policyowners, and they matter most to us. If youre caring for a child with special needs, our innovative special care Program Offers strategies that can help. Here with us now from capitol hill republican representative from michigan and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee congressman mike rogers. Congress man rogers senator feinstein says the president is on offense. Do you agree . I certainly hope so. I got to see the action part of that and be given as the chairman of the Intelligence Committee we see the action part. Do you like what youre hearing . I do. This is a gear shift for the president. Thats important. I think, obviously, his discussions in nato, he believed he had support there in nato. All of that is progress in this particular case. And hopefully well get him to take and lay out a strategy to go after, dismantle all of isil. You cant do it just in iraq, youll probably have to do some in syria as well. Mr. Chairman, a lot of times well say, pundits will say, politicians will say the president needs to educate america. He needs to get out there. Something the president doesnt want to be educator in chief. What about him educating congress. Isnt this threat grave enough that we really need the house and senate on board with the president . Oh, absolutely. What does he need to do to get some people that are more reluctant to get in this fight against the Islamic State . First of all, i think in congress we need to expose all members to the level of threat that those of us on the National Security committee see every
day. From what you know, how big is that threat . I think its hugely significant because the longer they go in what appears to the rest of the world as progress for them, so they are advertising that they are winning, that means more and more westerners are showing up. So every time a werner shows up, becomes more radicalized and trained and is willing to go back and commit an act of political terror back home which could be europe, could be the United States, could be canada, thats dangerous for us. The longer they hold as much land as they hold in iraq, the more money they get and that also, that increases the threat against us, right in the clock is ticking . Oh, absolutely. One of the things we learned about 9 11 time and space. And so we gave al qaeda all the time and all the space and so they had free operation in afghanistan, nobody disrupting their activities in any way and
then they went out and raised money. Its more dangerous than them, they can go raise money for their operations, they had to out how to sneak people into the United States. They have time and space right now and they have money already and they have people with western passports, thats why this is so dangerous. Hard and soft power do you think should be used, risk of american lives is something to be considered . You wont beat them by remote control. Well have to have some exposure of u. S. Service. Intelligence service and special capability soldiers. Not big armies. And why is because we need our arab League Partners in the lead on this and we also, we have others that can help us and what we can do is add leverage. When you add leverage some u. S. Forces will be exposed. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Thank you so much for being with us. Hope you come back. Coming up next, mika a rare sight most of us wont see in person as an volcano erupts on camera in the south pacific. Plus winners and losers from week one of the nfl season, mad dog is on the loose.

My doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. And that i had to take action. So he talked to me about xarelto®. [ male announcer ] xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesnt require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. [ brian ] for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. Not this time. While i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didnt have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. You made great time. I found another way. [ male announcer ] dont stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. While taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor about xarelto® today.

Host of sirius xm, rice russo and Mike Barnacle join us at the table. Good to be here. How is everybody doing. The nfl season is under way. Thank goodness. Nfl. A little enthusiasm. Come on, baby. A lot of interesting things yesterday. The patriots having a bad second half in miami. I think everybody was surprised. They got ambush by the dolphins in the second half. 6. 5 million on his couch. He gets hurt. The chiefs get destroyed by tennessee. They made the playoffs and lose two guys that ruptured their achilles. Those two are big stories. Can you believe that, two of
their top defensive players out with the same injury for the year. And San Francisco ran four plays and winning 213. Might be a bad year for jerry jones. You mentioned romo. Lets go to the cowboys game. Threw the ball away three times. At home. High hopes for team and they got run all over. First play of the game. The ball is dropped. Niners pick it up and down the field they go. A lot of people thought the niners would have some trouble. They lost some defensive players. A lot of folks think harbaugh has worn out his welcome. They buried them. Kaepernick has a work ethic. San francisco seattle, two best teams in the nfc. Tony romo through three interceptions. Lets go to the game last night, colts broncos. Broncos jump out to a huge lead. Looks like the game is over. Colts sneak back. Game was 3110 in the fourth quarter. You see manning throwing passes all over the place. He looked good. Indianapolis defense isnt that great to begin with. Colts hung in. They had the ball at 3 25 to go with a chance to get even at 31 a piece. They didnt score. Manning let them in was a little bit of a surprise. Denver 10. But the colts actually had a chance here to come back and win this game. The colts were the only team that Peyton Manning had not beaten in the nfl and now he can check that off. Thats a good point. Colts and patriots, im worried about. Good job by indianapolis getting back. What about clowney, the big defensive guy. Out four to six weeks. And j. J. Wats. He was all over the place. Blocking passes. I would be worried about rg3 he did nothing. Jay gruden utilized his offense. Could be a long year for the redskins. How about the eagles . Down 170 at halftime in jacksonville and score 34 consecutive points and come back and beat the jaguars. That was interesting. A lot of wild 1 00 games. Bears winning . Bills came out and beat the bears. That game winning and tied. Big play in the game. Watch Freddy Jackson run over this safety. Oh, my god. How long of a line was that . Oh, my god. Remember the bills lead longest play. That was good. Got killed. Longest player, 14 years not
been night, own five in chicago finally won a home opener and bears play at San Francisco next week so a tough start. Jets won yeah, jets. Ugly but they won. And giants. Tough game.

Well its the top of the hour. Its almost the top of the hour. Okay. Almost the top of the hour. Shall we continue . Doreen is back with us. Mike is with us. Willie is back with us. The president will deliver an address to the nation on wednesday outlining a plan to attack isis. It is a plan that could last longer than his term in office. It will last three years. Using air strikes to halt isis and protect civilians, securing iraqs government and training troops and finally flushing isis from syria. So, the president is going to talk before the nation on wednesday. We were talking about this last hour. Because hes done at any time way hes done it, when he goes there, hes already got the uae on board. Egypt, last week we were talking to the white house and told us egypt was not far behind. You now have the arab league, the 22 country arab league is talking about stepping up and supporting this as well. We dont usually have arab countries begging us to come
over with weapons to take care of their messes. We have that in this case. I think the president i think the time cigarette played out just about right. The time cigarette played out right. This is one of the Campaign Promises hes making good on. Remember he shot the prominence for his senate race by opposing when we went into the iraq war the going it alone strategy. Its showing us a different kind of Foreign Policy strategy of bringing folks along. He has to answer the questions whats the imminent threat to the u. S. And what is Congress Role in authorizing the use of force here. Mike how do you think hes doing hes doing well. Mike, i said it last week im sick and tired of other countries needing our help, quietly saying we need your help. Come over here. And then we go over and help out and then suddenly their staterun newspapers are calling us the evil american imperialist dog. So i like the fact that this president , one of the few things
i agreed with him consistently is that were going to stop carrying the worlds water and hes basically called the bluff of all of these countries and now i think well get more support from america because you have arab states begging us to come over, not as liberators, but to hurt an evil force. Two things have occurred both in the last 48 hours. The president s meeting with chuck todd and yesterday the head of the arab league indicating its time for arab nations to get on board to fight this evil. How important is that . Hugely important but it proves the point that over the past two weeks with everything thats been going on in the American Media, that being cautious and being methodical is not weakness. I was talking before about ike and the suez crisis in 1956. Sometimes doing less in the
middle east is doing more. Yeah. For the past two weeks, theres bean barrage largely within the American Media hes weak, hes not doing anything, any sensible person would have to know with any limited knowledge of washington thats what he said. I loved willie understands it. Its khaki and its awesome. Anyway, i aide after he said we didnt have a strategy not a big deal. He said something he shown have said. He said it in an inartful way. At the end of the day hell be judged on his policy. Now the arab league saying come over here we need you. 22 state arab league stepping up against isis. That exclusive interview on meet the press president obama made the case for action. The next phase is now to
start going on offense. We have to get an Iraqi Government in place. I want people to under we have not seen any immediate intelligence about threats to the homeland from isil. Thats not what this is about. What its about is an organization that if allowed to control significant amounts of territory, to amass more resources, more arms, that over time that could be a serious threat to this would. Over the course of months, we are going to be able to not just blunt the momentum of isil, we are going to systematically degrade their capability, well shrink the territory that they control and ultimately were going to defeat them. Long way, long way from when you described them as a jv team. Was that bad intelligence or your misjudgment . Keep in mind i wasnt
specifically referring to isil. I said that regionally there were a whole series of organizations that were focused primarily locally, werent focused on the homeland because i think a lot of us when we think about terrorism, the model is Osama Bin Laden and 9 11 and the point of it you dont believe these people not yet. They can evolve. So well learn more about the strategy in the speech wednesday night. Tricky part is isis, Islamic State of iraq and syria. We can go into iraq, we can form partnership, perform air strikes inside iraq. What about syria . Chuck asked him about that. We can partner with the free syrian army. Not clear how you go after them. Theres a different between what mike rogers was saying and the president was saying. Thats where it gets murky. Again, ill repeat a quote that somebody said on this air several years ago. If you take vienna, take vienna. If youre going to defeat isis theres not a military leader thats going to tell you you can defeat isis in iraq. Its like my argument about not tripling the number of troops in afghanistan several years ago because everybody said well the problem its not really in afghanistan its in pakistan but we have to put the troops in afghanistan no. It didnt make sense. You didnt beat the Islamic State in syria by going into iraq. Hes going to have to make some tough choice. Of course, his problem is if he goes into syria and he brings this group in syria he helps assad. Thats the crux of his problem. If youre going to defeat isis you have to defeat isis. Thats right. This will go beyond his administration, obviously and part of his legacy, the next president will have to continue this fight. Ordeal with whatever he put on the plate. The nbas Atlanta Hawks is going up for sale. Bruce levenson announced hell sell his controlling interest after admitting he sent a racially insensitive email back in 2012. Written to three team executives, Bruce Levenson listed his concerns including the majority of fans being black, the cheerleaders being black, and hiphop music being played at the arena saying in part quote, my theory is the black crowd scared away the whites and theres simply not enough affluent black fans to build a significant season ticket base. The league had been investigating the email prior to levensons decision to sell. Levenson said, quote by focusing on race i sent the unintentional and hurtful message that our white fans are more valuable than our black fans. If youre angry about what i wrote, you should be. Im angry at myself too. The fab commissioner said as mr. Levenson acknowledged the views he expressed are entirely unacceptable and are in stark contrast to the core principles
of the National Basketball association. I dont buy the apology. This is a long time in the making. The emails are going to be leaked. He handed them over. Great pr move because he gets to come out without being sanctioned by the league. Hes voluntarily selling. Hell walk away with a lot of money. Any sentence that starts with my theory you know youre running into problems. What do you think he was trying to say . He made all sorts of assertion of what the fan base is and why ticket sales arent up with any Actual Research or evidence. Do you think he was being blatantly racist and no other business conintercept i think he was being dumb as a manager, first and foremost. He was the biggest critic of Donald Sterling. Theres a little bit of hypocrisy. Its about framing. If he had said im afraid that southern whites are not open minded enough to go into an
arena where they are a majority, then he would have been fine. But, my god, youre playing with fire when youre talking about what every other nba front office is talking about. But in the clumsiest and worst way. Also, there is, though, also, as we were saying last hour, also the question of where has this guy been for the 25 years. By the way, they exploded in the mainstream in 1989 and this guy is talking about hiphop business is bad for white kids. Its not the ludicrous song. Hes from atlanta. They love him there. We got chris mannix with Senior Writer for sports illustrated. I want to read what you wrote here. Banishing sterling was the right thing to do but the nba opened
pandoras box when it did. One comment, one email, one statement never meant to become public can have catastrophic results. Bruce levenson had an ugly skeleton buried in his closet, a sellton that would eventually emerge. This email was written two years ago. He sees what happened to sterling. Company have selfreport ad couple of years ago and just did it this week. This is the attendance question is one that guys grapple with and it makes you wonder what are the private conversation happening behind closed doors that we dont see and emails that arent released to the public. I wouldnt give him too much credit for selfreporting this email because i dont believe he did it of his own volition. At some point he must have believed people in the organization were aware of this email and aware he had to get it out there and get in front of this story before somebody else did. It certainly is a bad look for
Bruce Levenson, but in terms of the league and how they look at this Going Forward, as i wrote it opens a pandoras box with what to Donald Sterling. Every owner in the league is looking at themselves saying doi have this type of email out there lurking. Is there something i said in a group set or somebody has something on a cell phone. Now all of a sudden if you make one insensitive comment or do something stupid like Bruce Levenson did with that earn mail could you be subject to the nuclear option. Thats whats making owners nervous. Whats left unsaid here with regard to the Atlanta Hawks, a, they dont win. So, thats tough. Not terrible. Not terrible but the other interesting aspect of it is the braves, the Atlanta Braves who also have difficulty growing are actually moving to the suburbs. In an attempt to moving north. Where most white suburban, but
affluent atlantians are living. Got a brand new stadium. Brand new for lack of ticket sales. On to other news. In just a few hours new Jersey Governor Chris Christie will try to help reverse Atlantic Citys bad fortunes. The governor will lead a summit on how to turn around the citys casino industry. Four casinos are expected to close this year costing the town nearly 8,000 jobs. We should go to that. Hold on. Ill see mccartney, the eagles 8,000 jobs. Then jersey. Chris christie. I want to cover the summit in new jersey and shed light on the jobs being lost there and peoples whose lives have been turned upside down and what will to be done to fix it. Im serious. Hes just back from mexico. He looks so president ial. He a three day trip to mexico. Drew comparison force a dry run to a 2016 president ial campaign. Reporters noticed there was contact choreography. The governor toned down his typically blunt style. Despite that trip christie returns to the harsh political realities of home. The dnc is launching an ad blitz in new jersey reminding residents its one year since the bridge scandal. For the second time this year fitch downgraded the states bond rating. It cited the States Economic woes, including christies decision to cut pension payments. A lot of new polls out. Yesterday from meet the press. Nbc news marist poll showing republicans making significant gains in some closely watched senate races. In arkansas, tom cotton has opened a five point lead against the democrat there, senator mark pryor. The candidates now tied among registered voters. In may senator pryor had an 11 point lead. In kentucky Mitch Mcconnell leads democrat Alison Lundergan
grimes by eight points. He holds a similar lead amongst registered voters. In may they were tied. Better news for democrats in colorado where democratic senator mark udall is ahead of republican congressman cory gardner by six points. Lead expands to eight among registered. Unchanged from july. In all three states president obama finds his Approval Rating below 40 . Look at those numbers, willie. Arkansas 31 . Kentucky 31 . Colorado 39 . Also fascinating in arkansas, bill clintons Approval Ratings plus 30. Mitt romney, hes upside down in a couple of those states. What you have is you got the blue states getting bluer, red states getting redder. You dont know how americans will react to the military threat coming from isis in the coming weeks. I think a lot of those numbers have actually been dragged down
because the president has been seen bungling on Foreign Policy. Whether its fair or not. If hes forceful taken isis threat is neutralize and effective i think youre going to see those numbers go back up. For republicans claiming that these races are over and i heard this from way too many republicans last week, its really early. Its the first quarter. Well see what happens. I have to ask chris mannix something. We were talking about owners that were concerned. What about mark cuban. He had one of the most fascinating comments about race, he said everybody is prejudiced. There was not enough discussion. It was provocative but the kind of conversation that the nba, especially, has to have. Is mark cuban worried right now mark cuban is worried and every other owner is worried. This is what mark was talking about when he made the initial statements after the Donald Sterling comments came to light. When somebody says something privately and becomes public. No question Bruce Levenson and the hawks owner was out of line and no question he completely misguided about what he was saying. Atlanta has always been a very complicated city, very complicated starts city. Its not skbruft the demographics or franceses down there. Its about atlanta being a ran the ran ttransient city. This guy will lose his team, how far to wonder if theres an email of something i said out there will i lose my team too. A divided city. It really is. You look at the perimeter, south of the perimeter the demonstrate
month graphics are different. North of the perimeter, the Atlanta Braves moved because of that. Sports illustrated chris mannix, thank you so much. Great to have you on board today. Happy birthday. Youre a kid. Hes 38. Youre a kid. Hes 38. Shhh. Thats awesome. Still ahead on morning joe joan rivers gets the funeral she said she always wanted. Well tell you about it in a few minutes.

The New York Daily News a

What motivated the act of kindness ryan said quote ive seen people do it before and i thought it was a nice thing. Its good to make people happy. What a good guy. Talk about passing it on. Good man. The mothers are so proud. No its not. With us now from washington we have nbc news political director moderator of meet the press chuck todd. Chuck you survived. There you go. I think im going to retire. We were talking about it yesterday on set. I was really surprised by how
engaged the president was. I dont know if its the summer being over, i dont know if hes got an election coming up and getting in gear. But something was different. Everybody that saw the interview said the same. Other than your great skills, of course, what do you sense . Why was the president sort of on his toes in the interview yesterday . I think part of it is because he does i think they feel they know what they have to try to do. Doesnt mean they will accomplish it. They have to find these sunni states, gate saudi arabia and a jordan and a talk and get these, those countries to somehow put the boots on the ground in syria. They seem to have everybody on this team has agreed. Will he go into syria. Thats right now the big question. He pushed back when you talked about syria. Hes going in some form of syria. He was very careful to say it wont be boots on the ground but its going in some sort of supporting element. Theres no other way to defeat
isis and his own folks have said it. I said that to him. He agreed. But i think they think they are going to build this middle east coalition. I think they think they are going to do a jim baker style coalition, that john kerry essentially will be able to replicate what bush 41 incident 90 and 91 when it was a real coalition. You had dozens of countries involved and you had arab countries involved that were actually engaging in the military operation, you know. It was part of the question i said that theres plenty of people wondering at what point does all this military aid that the United States has given the saudi arabia for decades will be used by saudi arabia. This speech tomorrow night he has to make a major pitch to the American People. This is a new chapter in a war. Lets be honest. You asked him are we going war but he hedged. Last time we opened a new chapter, 13 years since we started it. We could be in for a long fight. Does he feel he can convince the American People its time to go back into a war. He can convince the American Public they have to defeat isis. Remember when hes giving the speech hes given it on the eve of the 13th anniversary of 9 11. Youll hear some 9 11 imagery from him. He says they are not al qaeda yet but could be if they somehow if we dont deal with them now. I think rallying the country by isis is one thing. I think the difficulty here is what do you do after . Who fixes syria . Who is in charge of rebuilding it . Is it United States responsibility . Thats the issue here. He himself said it. The United States was all in iraq, everything was okay and as the u. S. Pulled out of iraq chaos ensued again. Vacuum developed. Here comes isis. Isnt the same thing going to happen in syria after were done . I thought it was interesting
that you were able to talk to the president about the whole golf issue, the golfing incident after james foley and the president spoke. I have to ask you during that vacation made the statement on foley, your went and golfed. Do you want that back . You know, it is always a challenge when youre supposed to be on vacation. Because youre followed every where and part of what i would love is a vacation from the press. Theres no doubt after having talked to the families, where it was hard for me to hold back tears listening to the pain that they were going through, after the statement that i made, that, you know, i should have anticipated the optics. You know, thats part of the job. Its Serious Business. And you care about it deeply. But part of this job is also the theater of it. Part of it is, you know, how are you well, its not something that, that always comes naturally to me. But it matters. And im mindful of that. He doesnt usually say that, does he mika. No. When you talk about optics in theater, looking to wednesday night it seems like hes doing everything right. How does he communicate that. How does he punch a wednesday night without falling into traps of rhetoric . Well, i think the president said it very well. You got arab state, you got uae, egypt. Chuck you were talking about syria. I think well get a lot of countries on board other than qatar that doesnt strike me as an ally of anybody but terrorists. There i said it. What does the president do on wednesday night to punch, not only to the American People but also to congress . Exactly. Look, i think congress is going
to be there if it seems like a defined end, right. If there is evidence that this coalition is going to happen. I think he will get congress. I doesnt seem as if ive noticed that the voice theres and look some, some on the campaign trail are very nervous about voting for something that is open ended. But if he can come up with a closed end ask of congress, it should be an easy thing. By the way going back to what he said, one thing that the public forgets is president s if they dont know how to compartmentalize they would never get sleep. Right. Exactly. Chuck todd, thank you very much. Coming up a star studded affair as joan rivers was laid rotate. We got all the details next.

I can tell you this, he came out i wont say it, he came out and said joan rivers had a very dry there was this long pause and he delivered the punch line after that. I think you just said it. Okay, ron. Reporter its probably not the word you were thinking. Thats how he delivered it. Ron coming up i love you youre awesome. Well done. We have to put him in the Carrie Sanders pantheon of

Isis is the flavor of the month right now
nobody, i do bad things too. Its not fair. Thats right. The head of al qaeda is feeling neglected. And hes tried everything from posting sad cryptic Facebook Status updates to even doing the ice bucket challenge. So now i challenge you. Here with us now, the very brilliant editor of the weekly standard, bill kristol and former Homeland Security secretary, Janet Napolitano and mark mcginnis. Bill kristol how is the
president doing . Hes giving a speech wednesday. Are you suggesting quid pro quo. Define you guys. You. Not mika. The president is worried about intervention. Youre right to support the president. On the other hand Janet Napolitano was still there we would not have isis think about this. Lets be serious. Horrible thing. The threat of isis is unbelievably bad. We also agree isis needs to be stomped out. Should never have been allowed to get this far. Thats a huge problem. This is where we disagree as far as syria goes. Its a lot of easy for neocons and Hillary Clinton to say we should have invaded two years ago. We dont know what would have happened if he had done that. The American People are war weary and would not have supported a massive intervention in syria. It wasnt that easy. I supported the president a year ago. Not a lot of republicans. It should have been two, three years ago. Even a year ago. I supported him. Its gotten much worse. I hope, very much hope he now grasps reality, accepts reality and acts decisively. His secretary of state said the day before, two days before that interview we have a red line, no ground troops. Really . You say natural youre a serious power. No. If you have to choose between assad and isis who do you zmoos. I dont choose. You have to choose. We can do boston them. Thats what it means to be great power. Get rid of assad. Get rid of him right away. Who runs syria . We dont know. Theres a better chance of having decent people run syria two years ago. One of the most striking statements by a president lets talk about the future. Citizens of syria demonstrated against the dictatorship. They were merchants and doctors. He drew red lines. Ignored the red lines. The question is what do we do . Hold on a second. If we hurt isis, we help assad. Why we helping assad. If we decimate syria assad is a weak dictator. Isis is a real threat. I hate to admit this. I think we may agree on moving forward. Let the record show
not nearly as bad with Janet Napolitano. All downhill since she left. Border, thousands of people flooding across the border. Janet, based on what you know, how dangerous is the isis threat to the American Homeland . Characterize it somehow for us. I think the number one threat the homeland are americans or europeans who have passport whose have been over there and trying to come back and do something in the United States. Do we know who they are . I have been out for a year. We have some. But its difficult to track travel, difficult to track travel particularly from turkey into the region. So we dont have 100 fix or we didnt at the time. Mark mcginnis has a question. Mark. You talk about americans or other foreign nationals that may be going in, or coming out. Can you talk about americans, what Homeland Defense is doing about americans going over now,
is there a system in place, or strategy for making sure that americans arent going over now . And, again, im not there. But, obviously, eyes and ears are attuned to americans who may be traveling into the region. Trying to track travel with the travel documents that dhs does collect, but its a very big region and these are very big borders and freedom of travel is freedom of travel. So i would be surprised if you could say yeah we have 100 control. Janet said eyes and ears. Thats another issue, National Security agency and its listening in on an awful lot of conversations from abroad to here which ive always defended. President says a few words how important it is against irresponsible critics of the left and right and defends our intelligence officers. Isis jumped on everybodys radar screen and the american
public in the last six months to a year, i would say. How much were they on your radar screen when you were secretary of Homeland Security. Is this a group you were focused on, a group you were concerned about. A month ago the president called them a jv team. He didnt take them as seriously as they have now. They have grown in terms of size and capability. Yes, they were on everybodys radar screen. They were there. The issue of travellers was already present. There were lots of discussions with how do you get the region and the countries in the region to participate in a more vital and more vigorous manner. But were they the dominant source of conversation . Not at the time, no. Madam secretary thank you so much for coming. Well come out to berkeley and do a stand up routine.

Hard to believe it was six months ago today when Malaysia Airlines flight 370 disappeared while on a flight to beijing. Search teams spent months looking for the plane in the southern indian ocean but so far have not found a single trace of the plane or the 239 people on board. For the families of the missing the past six months have been just torture. Nbcs tom costello has been following the story from the very beginning and he join us now with an update. Search teams are about to start a new search more than 1,000 miles off the coast of australia after spending the last few months mapping the ocean floor. This comes down to hard science and guesswork. Its a mystery that for six months has held the world in suspense. No word what went wrong. No word on the lives of the 239
souls on board. Continuing the search we seem no closer to knowing what actually happens. This morning, there is little to go on in the search. And the 239 people on board. For the families, agony. Saras partner phillip wood is still missing. I miss his daily presence. I still feel him in my heart, so that will never go away. Flight 370 disappeared on the red eye flight on march 8th. The last radio contact with the pilot sounded routine. Soon after, the plane dropped off radar and stopped its data transmissions. Investigators soon discovered evidence that someone had turned the plane around and flown it into the remote southern indian
ocean. Engineer, analyzing attempted Satellite Communications or handshakes with the planes believe it went down here, somewhere along this arc. But where . Its 23,000 square miles and the ocean is vast and deep. An intense search in the air and on the surface using an unmanned submarine found nothing. Now experts have refined the search area again. And a new phase of the search is about to begin. We will not give up until we have found whats left of flight mh370. For months, dutch and chinese ships have been mapping the ocean floor. Soon, theyll use advanced deep sea sonar technology. But aviation experts cant understand why six months later not a single piece of wreckage has washed ashore. The fact we have not found
debris is one of the largest mysteries to me. Theres so many light objects in the airline, in the galleys, the seat cushions themselves. Those things float for a very, very long time. We mentioned the indian ocean is deep. Something like three miles deep in some places. If they ever do find the plane and recover the flight data from the saltwater, investigators say the data should still be good on the block boxes and that will hopefully help them solve the mystery of flight 370. Thomas. We still wait. Thank you. Still ahead, if a prolonged fight against im sis is imminent, how long will it be before members of the arab league join in . Plus, its not preis season anymore.

over the course of months, we are going to be able to not just blunt the momentum of isil, we are going to systemically degrade their capabilities. Were going to shrink the territory they control. Ultima ultimately, were going to defeat them. Long way from when you described them as a jv team. Was it bad intelligence or your misjudgment . I wasnt specifically referring to isil. Ive said that regional there were a whole series of organizations that were focused primarily locally. Werent focused on the homeland. Because i think a lot of us when we think about terrorism, the model is Osama Bin Laden and 9 11. And the point that i was you dont believe that these people not yet, but they can evolve. President obama speaking to chuck todd on meet the press. Welcome back to morning joe. Managing editor of the news website quartz bobby gotz join us. A year ago today . Im a politician. A year ago at this very moment, let me exaggerate but a year ago. Janet nap pal toon nepal nap you in as a citizen. It was a wonderful event, she gave a wonderful speech. Shed done it lots and lots of times, but because it was her last so bobby, moving to the president obama, bill and i disagree about some things. One thing we dont disagree about on the president s policy is if youre going to take s vien vienna, you have to take vienna. If youre going to beat the Islamic State in syria, you have
to go into syria. Which i suggest is why he calls it isil instead of isis. Weve got to go into syria. Im not talking about boots on the ground. Weve got to figure out how to destroy isis in syria or it just doesnt matter. I think were trying to figure out how to do it too. All the talk of sending drones and eyes in the sky. That is adding up to something. That something has to be a sort of air strike campaign. How important that it looks like the arab leagues about to follow the lead of the uae . Its an important first step, but its only a first step. The arab League Always gives itself room to back off and thats something to worry about. They did not specifically endorse an air strike campaign, which i think would have been better. Its all talk of, you know, were all in agreement that something needs to be done. What that something is, they give themselves some funability, which is something you worry about. Is the president not moving
in the right direction . I think he is. Very slowly. But yes, the right direction. Bill, let me ask you, what does the president need to say to get congress on board . We always talk about educating the American People. I dont want to see a congress sit back and say well just wait and see whether this succeeds or fails. Doesnt Congress Need to be brought in on this too . Going after isis . I think the president needs the authority to act but i would be all for congress authorizing use of force. Ive talked to republicans about this the last week or two. Theyre all for it. Theyre all for it . I mean 80 of them are for it. Contrary to all this talk, ooh, the partisanship in washington is terrible, the republicans will support a strong action against isis. Even the rand paul wing rand paul will be against it and i think he will that hurt rand paul Going Forward if hes against this . In something that most americans see as a real threat . I think it will expose the threat hes had his own views, hes held them pretty but core policy outside the main is hawkish. I dont think that underestimates the importance, the perception of having a coalition of arab states asking us to come in and help. I think thats a huge difference. So obviously if the president gives an address to the nation to explain his plan on wednesday night. And of course the question will be after that if he can get real support from across the world in the form of action. Lets bring in nbc news chief global correspondent bill neely. What are you hearing about in terms of how this is looked at outside the u. S. . Clearly got some support at last weeks nato summit, but its all very well getting support from britain, france, germany, i understand also denmark and australia. Countries that really fear a blowback from those of their
citizens who have gone to iraq and syria. Quite another thing to get the support of arab states, particularly sunni states, that you have to get on board. The target is a sunni group, isis. So thats the real challenge. But its quite clear that the military, the diplomatic and the political offensive is now in full swing. I suppose looking further down the line, you know, we come up with the same issues. What does victory look like . What does victory against isis in iraq look like . More problematically, what about syria . And what is the end game in syria . Is it the defeat of assad or the defeat of isis or both . Really, anyone in the coalition has worked out those things yet. Colin powell expanded on, before you go in, you try to figure out how to get out. What does victory against isis look like . Im totally against the
powell doctrine. Thats why youre wrong. No, i am, you never act because you never know what things will look like. What does victory look like against isis. When does he say, mr. President , good job, he won, they lost. In 2008, a huge victory in iraq, people not slaughtering each other. In syria, crushing isis and helping those moderates who are there to you were one of those moderates. There are still some. I didnt ask you, who was, im asking who are those moderates now. You dont know who they are until you get involved and try to help them. And then youre in. Thats the thing about war. Who were the moderates in the balkans. Were you against that intervention . Of course i was. They hated each other for hundreds of years. Theyll just slaughter each other. Are the balkans better off now . Yeah, but it was a gamble at the time. The gamble paid off. More times than not, the gamble doesnt pay off. Thats not a risk more times than not, if you dont take that gamble, you get the current situation. 200,000 people dead in syria. A horrible terrorist group metastasizing throughout the middle east. Lets talk about the arab league. We were leading from behind in libya. We get the arab league on board. Then actually got some things. For not only the United States but for the rest of the world. Not only did the arab league endorse libya, they participated. The uae sent aircraft that were part of of that whole effort to create a nofly zone which took the initiative away from gadhafi and allowed the rebels to beat him. Something similar needs to be done here. The arab league has to join. Not enough to endorse on the sidelines. Arab planes have to be in the air. Arab logistics need to be offered. And a much more clear mandate
saying, yes, we agree, we need military action. Can i just say every time somebody talks, youre always shaking your head, chris. No, look what happened, libya, we didnt intervene we didnt follow up and we didnt have troops there for stability and we didnt have aids. But the arabs couldnt have done it. I have no problem with having arab troops there. The problem with libya, people like you were right about this, if youre going to intervene, you have to intervene. We now end up with terrorists controlling parts of libya. Thats the part of the powell doctrine, believe, if youre going to go in, go in, dont go in halfway. What can we expect from france so americans dont feel like were carrying it on our own . Isis may pose a greater threat to some capitals in europe than
they do new york and washington. Exactly. There are two parts to the question. Number one, what can we expect of this countries in respect of iraq and then further down the line in syria. In britain, the debate has shifted from providing ammunition and sleeping bags to kurdish rebels in Northern Iraq to actually support for british air strikes. Tornado planes have been flying recounsel sans missions. Edging towards getting involved in actual air strikes. I think with germany, they have just broken a longstanding decadeslong taboo and are supplying germanmade ammunition to kurdish fighters in Northern Iraq. With all these countries, its a tiptoeing process. The danger is, youve got to be very careful what youre tiptoeing into. For example, the u. S. Yesterday in striking Anbar Province, there were two firsts there. This is the first time u. S. Planes have struck western iraq and Anbar Province is an absolute hornets nest where theres been a war thats displaced half a Million People. And secondly its the first time u. S. Warplanes have taken action solely in support of iraqs government. Nothing to do with the yazidis or kurds. Weve got to be careful what were tiptoeing into, all of the coalition countries. Bill, thank you so much. We really wish it was like 11 00 or 12 00 where we are. What time is it in london right now . It is just after 1 00 in the afternoon. We need to do this. Have lunch and then do morning joe. Bill neely. I hear him say Anbar Province. Around this table, weve talked about Anbar Province. Ive been very critical of george w. Bush. Very critical of his Foreign Policy. But, boy, as bill said a minute
ago, what we would do to go back and have the Anbar Province of 2008 2009 when george w. Bush all over again. So many remarkable gains and it went away. To an issue here at home, president obama is being accused of playing politics with the plight of immigrants. Over his decision to delay taking executive action on immigration reform. The president says he will not take action until after the midterm elections. Despite previously promising he would address the issue before the end of summer. Some say because its an election year. But president obama says thats not the case. Not only do i want to make sure that the ts are crossed and the is are dotted, but heres the other thing, chuck, im being honest now, about the politics of it. This problem with unaccompanied children that we saw a couple weeks ago, where you had from central america, a surge of kids who were showing up at the border, got a lot of attention. And a lot of americans started thinking, weve got this Immigration Crisis on our hands. And what i want to do, when i take executive action, i want to make sure its sustainable. I want to make sure that the publics not behind you . It sounds a little bit youre concerned the public wouldnt support what you did. What im saying is im going to act because its the right thing for the country. But its going to be more sustainable and more effective if the public understands what the facts are on immigration, what weve done on unaccompanied children and why its necessary. Hispanics make up less than 10 of the electorate. Colorado is the sole exception. In austin, msnbc contributor and fellow for the center of politics at uts school of public policy, victoria desanto. What do you think motivated the decision to put it off . Politics . Could it be anything else in. Im going to go with politics here mika. We know that latino patience has been worn very thin. Theyre going to be implications here. Let me give you some numbers. A recent poll asked, if the president doesnt take executive action, what is the ennethuse y sam going to be for you to vote . Compare that to 87 would said wed be more enthusiastic. The reason here is that over twothirds of the latinos know someone personally would is undocumented and a third of latinos have a Family Member whos undocumented so its a very, very personal issue. It may not affect senate races but where were really going to feel it is here in texas. Wendy davis, they need that vote in order to go purple or blue and its not going to happen. Let me grab on to a point Mark Mckinnon said earlier. Does the denial not help in terms of trying to garner support for the president but if we had more democrats in power we could get this done so could you just admit it . I think it adds insult to injury. Weve got to hold on to the senate. Let me be honest with you. And then were going to work forward in order to try to get immigration reform. Latinos have been waiting since 2008 for a bold immigration move and nothing has happened. So at least be honest with us. Vicky, thank you very much. Mark mckinnon now, you have some new polls by no labels that look at the caucus and primary states of iowa and New Hampshire. Some interesting results. In iowa, you have Hillary Clinton, right . No surprise, Hillary Clinton leading by 30 points over her close rival, which is somebody would says theyre not going to
run. The interesting news i think is with the republicans, where in New Hampshire, nobody is even in double digits. Not jeb bush, not Chris Christie. Weve seen some real impact for christie here. Other than Mike Huckabee whos at 13 . The New Hampshire democratic primary, Hillary Clinton easily ahead there. Lets go to the republican primary. Absolutely fascinating in New Hampshire, everybody in single digits. Rand paul at 9 . Ryan, perry, walk, 6 . Jeb, 5, christie, 2. Undecided, 44 . Ive never seen anything like that in the republican primary. Its great. The republicans usually have the frontrunner. The guy who ran last time. He gets the nomination. The democrats tend to have races like this. They flipped this year. I think Hillary Clinton will be challenged actually. Joe biden shouldnt be counted out. Hes running a strong no, seriously. But i do think on the republican
side, a totally wideopen race. Mitt. He could come back in, i guess. Heres the interesting thing people not on these lists, in my view, could come in. Anyone could jump in. Could jump in late. Yep. Yep. Come on heres the interesting findings. Yeah. Are the attributes that people are looking for in the next president , its not the typical sort of things tall, 64, what . I think that would be good for a vice president. We offered up about 15 different attributes. Like shares your values in Foreign Policy. Whats at the very top . The problem is are they a problem solver. Can they bring people together. Lets get the simple stuff done again. Its about problem solving. Weve got a book out called just the facts. Its basically just the opposite of bill kristol. I do think someone said whats so fascinating is the problem solver. I was thinking this past weekend, bill, about ike, that drove a lot of id deo logs crazy, but ike saw himself as a problem solver. How do we beat the nazis . He was not as ideological as a lot of people. But he was constantly obsessed with one thing, what works. Thats a powerful signal. And who knows, maybe that means you spend more on infrastructure at the same time you go after teachers unions and public education. But you spend more on education and r d. But you go after entitlements. Thats a powerful message. Top of the list. A problem solver. Strength in Foreign Policy. People want to sense that someone can stand up to putin and isis and deal with those problems. And real sensitivity about the middle class, working class squeeze. Ive seen another poll, you might agree with this, the
degree to which middle class and working class americans are worried about their future is really starting just reading about that in just the facts. Very good. Still ahead, senator Kristin Gillibrand talks about sexism on capitol hill. Casey hunt has that interview. It was a wild weekend for hundreds of party goers this weekend. Things took a turn for the worst when they tried to go home. Plus, new footage from the Domestic Violence incident that got ray rice suspended from the nfl. Were going to go inside the elevator next. First, bill carrons with a check on the forecast. Have you ever been inside the elevator with bill carron . Oh, god, i cant be. He presses stop. Good morning, everyone. Out of Southern California yesterday, we got drenched. Hurricane norbert last week was off the coast of mexico. A lot of that moisture got sucked north. Its good that some portions of Southern California picked up heavy rain. In arizona, some outflow caused a dust storm. Its just a big wall of sand that blows in quickly. Theres the time lapse video of it in phoenix. Yesterday, phoenix got the dust storm. Today, were getting drenched. We is a bad flooding situation right now in the area. Flash flood warning. Many roads are closed. Phoenix only gets 8 inches of rain a year. In the last eight hours, theyve had 2 inches. Thats a lot of flooding. I10 is closed in a few sections. So, again, its only 5 00 in the morning there, but the rain still going on. Theres a good chance that your morning commute is going to have a lot of delays and a lot of road closures. Also, raining today in southern virginia, coastal North Carolina and south carolinas not pretty. Its going to rain hard the next two days. The biggest problems, again, phoenix this morning and the
midatlantic. Tomorrow, well worry about severe storms in the northern plains. Youre watching morning joe. Well be right back. You can eat that on Weight Watchers . Looks amazing.

I just cant. Im like too old, ugly. Other than that, and also, steve harvey, one of the original kings of comedy, hes going to be on later this hour. First, joining us on set, nbc Political Correspondent casey hunt with her oneonone interview with senator gillibrand. How did that go . We spent a day in new york with senator gillibrand. In just a short amount of time in the senate, shes had to learn the hard way about passing laws and also about passing off pretty insensitive comments from her colleagues. It was pretty funny when a southern congressman told me as i walked down the aisles in the house channel bettmber, he said even pretty when youre fat. I was like, okay, thanks. Following in hillary
clintons foot steps. As ambitious senator from new york and as a female politician, constantly graded and how she looks. How does she respond . Like any true new yorker. You said f. U. . I had colorful language for him. Casting herself as part of the next generation, not afraid to talk about the challenge, of running as a woman, instead of simply trying to run as a man. Do you think feminism has become a dirty word . Just like ambition. Its perceived negatively by so many people. All it is is someone who believes in quality for all. You ask them, do you believe in quality for all . They would say absolutely. Would you call yourself a feminist . Definitely. Im not afraid of words. Gillibrand was a pointed to the senate in 2009 after clinton left to be secretary of state. At 42, she became the youngest serving senator. But acceptance didnt come easy. Maureen dowd compared her to the overbeari ining blonde from the
movie election. But gillibrand has built a reputation on capitol hill as a tireless advocate, especially for women. Black home, she presses for Science Education for girls in brooklyn. More support for Business Owners in the bronx. And justice for victims of Sexual Assault. It should not include a 1 in 5 chance of being sexually assau assaulted. Her military Sexual Assault bill fail and she had a public falling out with senator mccaskill. Theres no rift. It was just a policy agreement. I can tell you, i disagree with my male colleagues all the time. People focus less on that . Of course. For now, gillibrand says she wanted to help clinton get elected president. After that, who knows where her ambitions will take her. I think shes the most qualified die famic candidate you could possibly put forth from our party. I think she could be an extraordinary president. Do you want to be president some day . No, no, i feel so lucky i get to do my job in the senate. Well, casey, first great interview. She did very well in the interview. Shes on morning joe tomorrow by the way. More questions about the book. What struck you, especially in terms of where shes going to play in the coming years . Sure. I was struck by, especially in this book shes put out there, how forward she was in talking about some of these issues shes faced as a female senator. Something people have sort of avoided talking about. Its sort of one of those dirty little secrets. You accept these comments come your way. I remember, she went to dartmouth with my brother mark and he always saw her as really great and also put the word ambitious along with that. I had lunch with her i think what was it just when she was elected i believe, weeks after. I walked out of there and i said, watch out for her. Dont even think about underestimating her. Because shes really ambitious. I saw it as a great, great thing. I think shes right though. I think we struggle with that word when it compaes she writes about how ambitioambition is something thats perceived as negative for women. If you talk to capitol hill, thats the reputation. Shes done a very good job of it. What shes doing with her fundraising and her pac has people taking notice. The way she handled the military Sexual Assault bill drew a lot of attention. Actually the other senator you mentioned in there, Kristin Gillibrand and claire mccaskill, both ambitious, aggressive and they do good things with those qualities and thats something i want to see more of across the board in business and politics. No doubt. All right kasie, thank you so much. Im a feminist. In your own weird way. Some day, ill tell that story. All right, one day. All right. Actress sosha mamet.

So at the end of my senior year, i will have had both experiences while also being like super well prepared for the professional world. Sounds like a really good plan. Smart and strong and feminist. Baby, good plan, right . No, i think that i think what you think pretty much. Oh, that sounds like joe. From hbos girls. He sounds like that yeah, exactly. The star of girls. Costar and glamour columnist zosha mamet. There we go. Its not spelled for anybody
to do it correctly. From mika better brzezinski, that, two zs. So girls. And i love your column. Thank you so much. You talk about your struggle with an eating disorder. Uhhuh. Ive written a book about this. Im a mother of two girls closer to your age than mine. And it seems to me like the struggle might be a lot harder for young people today. I mean, i just think even, you know, the world that we live in and the way were bombarded with advertising of this one very specific body type which i think that that ideal has definitely changed from, you know, when fashion became as big as it has. Its definitely morphed into something much more androgynous, much more why do you look at me when
you say androgynous . No particular reason. But i want to hear about the moment when your dad confronted you and how that hit you. I know people can go to glamour and read the article as well. It really goes in depth in a deeply personal way. Tell me about your dad and what he said to you at a moment that was kind of pivotal. It was absolutely a pivotal moment. All the doctors had told me that. It just didnt seem to be hitting home. When you have an addiction, it becomes something out of your hands. You really sort of you lose control in a way. He knows you. Absolutely. What did your dad say . He came home one night and he grabbed me by the shoulders and he looked me in the eye and he said, you cant die. And it was just it was a really enlightening moment for
me. I suddenly realized my addiction wasnt only about me. It had become something that made me not really care if i lived or died because i was powerless at that moment. I suddenly realized that it would affect my family. Mike. Your father is obviously david mamet. He is actually david mamet. Davids idea of a great day is write like four movies a day, two books. How has his in addition to the huge impact he had on you, with the story you just told obviously, how has his presence in your life affected up got a future now. Youve got a career. Has it affected you negatively, positively, both . Hes my dad. Hes a very talented man. He introduced me to a lot of incredible things as a very
young human which opened my eyes to the possibilities of this world. He installed me with i hope is a pretty good work ethic. Hes got a good one. What hes been involved in. I mean, thats it, im out. Lets talk about girls. You portray four different characters. How important is it to portray strength and flaws . But then also what youre working with, with your book and glamour and trying to bring women to new york city, the make your mark contest . Yeah, yeah, i think something that we do on our show is very much in kind with that kind of what ill talk about in just a second is we kind of try to portray women in the most honest light we can. Girls in their early to mid20s which is what were playing. We really try to show them in as honest and realistic a way so we can really reach girls that age who going through these experiences and hopefully make them feel not so alone. Ive partnered with glamour and with behr with the make your mark campaign. Got it right here. On the lovely pellegrino bottle it you want something lovely and refreshing. Its just starting to inspire women from 18 and over from across america to submit an essay about the various ways in which they make their mark on the world. And i think its really just about, you know, helping women feel confident in the ways in which they specifically contribute to the world and to get creative about that. Sasha, thank you very much for sharing your story in glamour. She said it right. You did. Ill never get it wrong now. Really, really great job. Thank you so much. Thank you very much.
