Ephemeral legislation. Yeah. That went from being the word of the day a couple days ago, to now i think its the word of the week. Ephemeral or malodorous, its one of the two. Its still early. We have a couple hours ahead. Maybe we can find another one. Meanwhile, the Florida Governor is seizing on a potential weakness in trumps third president ial bid. Well show you what he had to say about that, and how he responded to questions about his last name. Is it desantis, is it December Desantis . Did he answer it . He did, and it was unrevealing. Huh. Republicans are still upset with Kevin Mccarthy over the Debt Ceiling Deal. Wah. One calling for a day of reckoning. Are you kidding me . It is a day of reckoning for the extremists, who thought that they were going to be able to hold, not only congress and Kevin Mccarthy and the president hostage, but also hold the United States economy hostage. They werent able to do it. These guys struck a deal, and struck a deal that passed overwhelmingly.

trump disaster that we ve lived in in these last couple years. all right. there you go. doris kearns goodwin, thank you so much. you can watch the docu-series fdr that doris is the executive producer of. so good. it s available on history channel on demand. history.com and on hulu. still ahead on morning joe, russia has launched a relentless series of missile attacks on kyiv this week. we ll have the very latest on ukraine s efforts to keep up with the bombardments. and one of our next guests argues president biden is more fearful than the ukrainians are. we ll read from that new piece. plus, a live report from iowa following former president trump s swing through the state yesterday. as we go to break, o-m-g, willie. i mean, jack is excited about this. what do you have planned for sunday today ? so excited. i assume jack is a euphoria fan because i have one of the
punishment for being passive. and the president is doubling down on all that stuff. my goal is never to put you on the spot. but i want to ask you a question people stop and ask you in the airport. where do you see this, where do you see the house five nights from now when we start our coverage tuesday night? well, what we know is we re going to have a big turnout election. rather than 85, 90 million votes cast, i think we re going to be more over 100, which would be an abnormally high midterm. that probably will benefit the democrats more. the fact that independents are breaking toward the democrats and against the president will help them as well. so, if i had to bet, i would bet a fair amount of money that we re going to majority, probably 20s to the low 30s, it could be worse in terms of number of seats. i m very worried about governor races, that we re going to have a really bad night unfortunately and a lot of republican governors sucked into this trump disaster, even though
