After last week's condo collapse in South Florida, could a war, about structural damage? Back and twenty eighteen have prevented this disaster plus president I'd and walks back is veto threat of last week's bipartisan infrastructure deal republic.

Don't you item ass good morning and welcome to morning Joe, it is Monday June twenty Eightth good to have you all good tat, Joe Back will start with the very latest on their collapse, condo and serve side Florida. Just us I'd Miami. We are now a days I've search and rescue efforts. Nine people confirm to be dead. Eight of them have been identified so far. A hundred and fifty two people remain unaware for no one has been pulled alive from the rubble since Thursday, when the twelve
story building completely collapsed in the early morning hours? The mayor of Miami Day warns that these numbers will continue to shift as rescue efforts continue. I want to stress, since the beginning, these numbers have been very, very fluid and they will continue to be subject to change. That's because we get new information. People turn out were not there at the time and so on, and so it is very important to keep in mind that these members are not final. Sixty teams are actively searching for survivors with hundreds on stand by engineers, also on hand closely monitoring everything to make sure the remaining half Congo is not indeed you're a falling crews.

and meanwhile, families of those still missing are waiting for any sign of hope. Bosses brought clips of relatives to what's left at the buildings, so they can witness the rescuers that work. Memorial with pictures of the missing as an offence just feet from where crews are working as to what caused the collapse. According to the New York Times, experts who have examined before the age of the disaster are focusing on the spot in the lowest part of the condo complex, possibly, nor below the underground parking garage where an initial failure could have occurred. Meanwhile, a team of specialists sang quitting scientists and engineers arrived the side on Friday, they are from a federal, I see that investigated the fall of the twin towers after September. Eleventh, their aim is to help determine
the cause of the collapse and suggest future steps to avoid another syn. disaster joining us, from suicide. Florida, NBC News, corn, spot correspondent, Antonia Hilton, Antonia. What more can you tell us good morning. Meagre massive search and rescue efforts happening behind me here is stretching now into its fifth day, with a hundred and fifty two people still unaccounted for and years and frustrations are rightfully growing and they're not limited just to those connected to people and loved ones in the South tower that came down. They spread throughout the community here, as people living in neighbouring buildings are asking. Is my building unsafe to take a lesson. growing fears that the buildings around Champlain Towers South may also be at risk of collapse. Person, If I win that building that sister building, given all the circumstance, I probably want to be out of it. Until someone told me it was safe, surf sign, Mayor Charles
it announcing a residence of Champlain towers. North can evacuate voluntarily until the building audit is complete, adding that not aware of any current issues there, Philip zine? his wife, I have lived in the north tower for six years and he says they're, not leaving your building was made by the same builder. Do you feel he's living there builder same architect, more ass the same design little but different us the number of units. So As I, the two thousand eighteen report from more a veto, consultants cited and abundant cracking installing a varying degrees was observed in the concrete columns, themes and walls and noted major structural damage around the pool, deck suggesting it be removed, this is not unique in terms of having concrete problems. There was nothing in there that screen to me. You know
get out of the building, but some dont want to wait for answers. Monica Frankie lives in a building right across the street just see the families of the victims. crying employer building, because now the many families come to me on the Vienna summit, That is a good idea. I don't make sense to me, but I guess the word request into suicide. You will see them like breaking in front of you. Do you think you're gonna feel comfortable moving back here after some time, at least for a while. I have two Monica plans to check into a hotel until then it could be many months before we understand exactly what happened that night and why the South Tower came down Miami dates says that all buildings over forty years old are going to be audited within the next thirty days, but understandably residents here. One
assurances now meagre. and Missus Antonia Health, and thank you very much for that report and, as Antonia mentioned, There is also a reporting that in twenty eighteen just three years ago, engineering consultant warned of major structural damage at the condo complex. That's a quote: major structural damage in its report found alarming evidence of damage to the concrete slab below the pool, deck and abundant cracking crumbling in the underground parking garage of the building? The report noted that much of the concrete and bar damage was probably caused by persistent water leaks years of exposure to salt air, and time million dollar repair project was scheduled to get underway soon. for more on those twenty eighteen reports: let's bringing Wall Street Journal reporter Deborah caused and Deborah.
I'm can, I guess, I'm concerned, following the language that was used and that languages on the scale of you? Don't need to do thing right now to act immediately, yeah Mika more of consultants, the engineering firm that was hired to inspect the building and twenty eighteen clean it. Some concerning design flaws that you mentioned in the building, but they didn't say until the ninth page of the report and another report should also called the condition of the structure good on five measures, noting that or a lack of apparent issues like bulging and settling nothing. That indicated the building was about to collapse There is also a guy matters, but go ahead. No, I was just going to mention the twin building champion towers, nor that's just a couple of buildings down from the collapse was constructed. It almost the same exact. and that one is still standing- and I spoke yesterday with
association that building said their maintenance has been top notch, and perhaps that made a big difference There are obviously for people like myself. They grew up in Florida. There always are these booms and busts for buildings, and I do remember the late seventies early eighties alive condos going up very quickly longer. line and for any Floridians. You know the building codes radically tightened and get a much tougher after her came Andrew and ninety? Ninety two of the building codes just completely changed across the state, especially long beach how much danger or pre ninety ninety two condos in right. Now how many along the farthest coastlines? Do you think really need to be. Given a second look at much closer look, that's it a question and on because of this question that we all have our minds right now, mayor, Dent,
then you're living cover is calling for an audit of all buildings that are over forty years old to determine. If there is a problem that needs to be addressed and if so address it immediately, but it's on. Here as you mention it? How those building codes might it might make a difference, especially after Hurricane Andrew. all right. The Wall Street Journal Deborah Costa. Thank you very much for that updating our next hour, we're going to speak with a professional engineer who specializes in concrete repair and who worked on the surface condos pool deck in twenty. Seventeen will also speak with the mayor of Miami Dade County, so that is coming up on morning, be every bit as a beacon for people that didn't grow up in Florida. do remember late seventies, early eighties. There were there were always The booms and boss sent me there's there been boom and bust implored,
we're in when it comes real estate throughout the twentieth century, but we all remember condominiums just sprouting up out of nowhere, but they are very quickly if you ever when in them later on, especially over the past ten years or so, you can just tell that some of them were built very cheaply and so there really is a line of demarcation in the state of Florida. When it comes to construction, it is one thousand nine hundred and ninety two hurricane Andrew, and for the legislature Florida leaders enacted extraordinarily strict guidelines that that, obviously if you're, living in a building and in Florida a condo that was built during the same period, obviously hat and a lot of people, starting to question whether those structures are safer and requires that regularly
is really come in and they ve been very aggressive and checking out the safety of those building It's also. The question is whether those buildings, if they have similar damage, if they can be sure about because look at the inspection report here and you look at the warning that was used in used now. Granted. It was on the ninth page, but whose the wording is pretty severe, and the question is: do they not act because they were negligent or Are there not a lot of options for building like that that was just built in a day in a condition and how many their buildings are dealing with similar options. Now there is a similar building near by that. apparently was maintained better, but does that make it does that make it completely failsafe? These are the Quest That, too, will have to be answered, and probably they need to answer to cross the state president by
or offered what the Pentagon is calling quote defensive air strikes in Syria and Iraq. Yesterday the strikes targeted weapons storage facilities belonging to IRAN backed militia groups. These groups were behind drawn attacks on merit personnel according to the Pentagon, joining us now, NBC News, senior, national security and military correspondent, Courtney, Scooby Courtney, high meagre yeah, that's right. We we saw this is now the second time that President Biden has called airs sir, is approved air strikes in Iraq and Syria. This was a little bit different than the first time, which was back in February. In that case, there was there were a number of rocket attacks against? U S military personnel and facilities in Iraq, and that was why President Biden, These strikes again. It was an I consider that this is a different threat there. Now
the Pentagon, the military or talking about these you av or drones that are causing this threat. we know there have been at least five attacks by these drones against yours. Vessel he's in Iraq and Syria in the last summer. or weeks for seven several it's really that has caused this in what this entire event is really about mega is deterrents. The Pentagon is hoping that by taking these strikes, not only taking out these storage facilities, weapons facilities where the drones and the parts are store and and assembled, but their hoping that by taking by by striking these facilities, It will deter these IRAN back militias from carrying out these you, your drone, strikes in the future, with the hope that they'll be able to avoid use personnel for being injured or killed. You may recall that the rocket attacks that that cause this strikes back in February you are strikes in February that they were actually deadly. Filipino contractor was killed and six others were
Jordan. One of those strikes so far, you are? The drone attacks have not been deadly. but the concern among us, military and defence officials is that they will turn that way. So these were and airstrikes yours conducted them with air force, F and F sixteens from an facility, it military facility, in the region. The pilots all returned back to that the base safely. So the Pentagon is calling the successful. There have been some reports out of the region of casualties, but so far that so far the defence issues like spoke with have said: they're not aware of any yet, but it still kind of early to know me cudgel envy. Is coordinated. Being. Thank you very much for your journal to me right now at the White House, correspondent for the Associated Press, Jonathan, very entry. say that event. This is happening as we move towards possibly another round of of talks further IRAN nuclear deal.
These strikes and both sides have seemed measured. The Iranians, even with their with their drone, strikes want to cause damage, but dont want to cause american casualties based on some reporting, simply because they are. want to drag the iranian nuclear talks in yet fighting goes continues back and forth. What can you tell us what a joke? the White House right now, there's another sending for the one as the poet offences. Indeed they want this to be proportional and measured. They didn't want to go too far because indeed, the backdrop of these talks at this the measures they wanted to send. They wanted the example of deterrence. They wanted a message to Tehran to back off too. They were wearing what you're doing Therefore, if needed at any time, can take you out that sort of always this that the sub text here is the Eu S can reach across the globe and moment's notice and inflict damage like this. But at the same time there is still some hope to restart and breaks in Prague
as on the iranian nuclear talks were about to have another round of negotiations. As you said, there's been some system in the region for Israel and others, new leadership, air about what can happen, but the EU Still has some hope that something can be done, some sort of framework could they can still make a deal with Tehran, so that is the balancing act trying to strike here When I hear more from the president today, he returned last night from Camp David for weakened away rubber reporters. Sat long, shouted questions to him about this news. The strikes a broken just minutes before and violence. waved them and said hey. We will talk to you. I will talk about that tomorrow. We should expect meaning today, so we should back to hear more from him and the measures thinking on this in the hours.
President Biden is working to get his infrastructure deal with a bipartisan group of senators back on track, while announcing the deal on Thursday Biden also made it clear that Democrats would work on a second infrastructure package to be passed through. Conciliation. And then signed in tandem. that angered a number of Republicans, including Senator Lindsey Gram and original supporter of the deal who told politico. If he's gonna die, together. He can forget it. I'm not doing that. That's extortion, I'm not going Do that the dams are being told. You can't get your bipartisan work product past unless you sign onto what the left wing and I'm not playing bag game over the weekend, and the president clarified his comments in a lengthy statement that red and part my comments also create
impression that I was issuing a veto threat on the very plan I had just agreed to, which was certainly not my intend. The bottom line is this: you gave my work, to support the infrastructure plan and that's what I intend to do that course: correction was enough to get some of the original republican supporters back on board. we're all blind cited by the comments the previous day, which were that somehow these two bills were connected with this, prize, to say the least, that those two get linked and I'm glad they have now been de length and it's very clear that we can move forward with a partisan bill, it broadly popular I do trust that president end and he made very clear in the much larger statement that came out over the weekend carefully crafted and sought through piece by piece than that The infrastructure bill reaches his desk. It comes alone. He will sign it.
we were assured that the two would not be late. Yes, the human structure fuels, they call it would be pursued but the two would not be late. If you sank, both we lose the advantage of that which is in our hand, which is this infrastructure bill joining us now Whitehouse correspondent for political and co, author of the Playbook Eugene Daniels he's also an endless, they say, contributor, Eugene whatsoever. Singing here, is that the Democrats have seemed at least stay in my mind: to have the upper hand when it comes to bi partisanship, pushing for a bipartisan gale. moving towards a bipartisan deal getting a byproduct of, and there is a kick it man. Gimme, the Republicans high ground. It is hard to explain exactly Why why we had the events change the way they did, but the president's cleaned up, even if all of the
residents. Men and women have not clear this up. Tell us about that all of this past week and on trying to get tee ass yeah because President Putin himself had to get on the phone calls because the world out there was a lot of worry as he talk kind of business like implicit veto right. I will only signed both of these signing one and not the other way, while at the same time. So all of this conversation that was happening along with kind of a time mind that the leadership in the end and was democratic leadership and laid out spooked alot of Republicans, and you have been there I am obviously speak to say book a kind of sick that they would be, you know, that would begin played. Basically if they ve Republicans went along with this. his present by MS cleans clean that up quite a bit at sea and the reason that doesn't make you said there is a lot on the plate. There's a bird Democrats have the upper hand, because infrastructure is extremely poppy,
right, guinea. Human can go outside probably on their street in this country, its part hole. See something that needs to be fixed when it comes to infrastructure, so Republic, Do you want to get a deal here because, even though I ve been fighting in France. I promise to stop this administration infrastructure if you those roads and bridges done in your district and your state, that's gonna sell that for twenty two and twenty people still have to get reelected, so they know that if there is anything baking they're gonna do with its president, it's going to be this infrastructure. yeah I'd in and so present, clean things up this past weekend. Roy publicans went on Sunday shows and said: ok, ok, I'm fine! Ok, I died. The present and then Why does this Cedric Richmond went on Jake Tapir this weekend? In said this? Can you clarify for once and for all
and will, if it happens, that the bipartisan infrastructure but lands on his desk on its own. I understand: that's, not your preference, but if that word happen, he would say, yes or no well, look I think it's a yes or no question. This is what I think it is. People have under estimated present since day one we pass the rescue plan, we're gonna past it jobs plan and we're gonna pass that America, this plan, and so we keep meeting the challenges that we face and we keep leading with strategy making decisions based on the people, and we expect to have both bills in front of us to sign, and I expect that president by Assign the infrastructure he will sign the families plane so here, he's not going to commit to signing the infrastructure bill with lands on his desk on its own. It has to come with the other bill, not think it The important point here is to focus on the statement yesterday, where the president's, where it speak for themselves out, I speak for the President
don't put words in his mouth and where he has a clear statement. I let that do this weekend. You see. Sometimes it is a yes or no answer, and I gotta say Jonathan Wellmere this weekend at the White House: more unforced errors and laboratories at short, stop and that's a lie yeah well TAT S a really clear things up their adversaries. You, Joe could be any reference, I hope will talk more about them. Later. In terms of this, I mean what happened on where the last week, The present Biden said the quiet part outline. These two deals were always gonna be done in tandem pursuing them in ten of that's, not a secret. The Republicans involve new, that to the hard infrastructure would be pretty by parts of fashion, and then the more human infrastructure will be done by much larger package would be done by reconciliation Democrats. Only and there is always a sense and how Speaker Pelosi said this just days ago that she was going to
the bills for votes. At the same time, therefore, there would be linked, but of course there is a difference on some posturing from the house speaker or the Senate Majority leader, as opposed the present I'd states, actually giving an explicit viii frightened when he did that over the weekend when he went a little too far, I've talked aid since then, He was in his remarks. He talked about the bills being pursued intended again, Republicans, ok, with that they could sign off on the sapphire infrastructure stuff and not be part of the other piece of this once. He explicitly linked them and threatened to veto their calculus headed there is already some reluctance, among Republicans, to give the president a victory like this up by partisan win, and this was a bridge too far. Hence the furious walk back in statement this weekend, though still some mixed messaging from the warehouse administration officials in the days that followed
here from the present he's travelling this week on this he's going to a constant. He is now given his word that he will support this bill, but now he s keeps a progressive. Like S, keeps an Democrats happy with this tandem, a bill And they need to make sure they get that larger reconciliation go past, though it may be anywhere near as large a number as the way originally wanted. Because of concerns from moderates were Democrats about to spend Well, that's the point they saw negotiations are ongoing me. They need to talk to Joe Mansion. curse in cinema and and and a few other democrats of that other. No. It is not ready to sign right now. Anyway, there's can we want negotiations bite Why else needs to clean up our Cedric Rich man said yesterday there can't be in. Ambiguity. There can't be any linkage if they want to get the by partisan bill, these Republicans or are out
basically out enough as it stands, so they need. clean that up before they start worrying about this other infrastructure, Eugene because again Joe Mansion care in cinema, and three or four other Democrats are not going to sign on to the soft infrastructure bill, as is Democrats and progress, we still have a way to go before they get to a number on that right now, Look, you know: yeah Bernie, Sanders Budget Chair insane six trillion dollars right. You have the number there didn't binding, put out for this human infrastructure at around three trillion. Joe Mansion sinking go two trillion rights you have some we have. Some number is that they are playing with and its here and now you know you mention- mentioned Mansion Cinema and those others, because it's important he repeated this you guys we talked about on this show quite a bit is that
in the cinema continue to service proxies for other moderate Democrats who much quieter about some of the things that they had issues with right, the amounts indeed, where even some of it whether what infrastructure is right. We have that conversation for weeks and weeks at the beginning of this process. Most Democrats have gotten on board, but there's still trying to figure out what they do with this care infrastructures. On that, precision with in the party is what's going to be interesting, the waters they work on this reconciliation built. While this policy deal is still kind of being mapped out, because I have a friend work on the ladder, the reconciliation bill is still going on. A lot of people that want some things in and progressive I have said that they wanted to be huge in big and if not, then it doesn't matter. You have members of the house. People like a causal Cortez who say you know if we, if we don't go big, it doesn't matter what, There really does matter, and so both Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumann, even President Biden there are going to have to do
massaging within the party to make sure folks are comfortable with because they don't have a lot of time left to get this reconciliation, build done and by the time when January of next year, which seems like a long time now? But it's not your people moving to the mid term and back the in this house Still I had on morning Joe as we mention we'll be joy, by the mayor of Miami date, county about delay, search and rescue efforts. Following last week's condo collapse la say, structural engineer, who specializes in concrete repair projects also ahead inside, former attorney general, William Bars, break up with President Trump we're gonna dig into this reporting from the Atlantic and historic heatwave, hitting the Pacific Northwest, where it was one
twelve degrees in Portland, and one hundred and four in Seattle yesterday here watching joe we'll be right back. Our world is facing some big challenges. Jug jarred breaks them down a deep died. to a new topic. Instead of covering all the big stories cover. What single subject impacting american politics exploring explaining the critical issues that affect our future made. The press reports- pursued season? Two are now available on demand on
hey, it's crusades, is weak on my part, ass, wise ass happening I'll, be talking with palestinian american scholar and author, an historian Rashid clearly on the state of palestinian politics. In this moment, a two state solution is not going to happen, at least not until there are changes. Insiders, lessening till the status quo, is a one state solution. That's the stated is: there's one population register. Israel controls it. You cannot come in, you gonna, go out. You can register a child. You cannot marry anywhere within their territory. Last April, there's an illusion of a palestinian Authority which is a mirage in terms of real sovereignty, jurisdiction afford it exists. It perform some governmental services, also France, by permission, but its main job is to keep the past instead to provide security for Israel as it continues to occupy an colonists. That's this week on. Why is this happening? Search for wine is happening where realistic right now and subscribe
welcome back looking sports now, while french authorities seek a fan who cause dozens and cyclists crash during the de France on Saturday, the Washington Post reports, the organization will sue the spectator, who caused the pile up after she's apt in front a racing pack holding a cardboard sign appearing to display a message for tv can so now leading to the crash issue, dozens of writers and fled the scene and has yet to be found. The crash was of two that occurred as the famed bicycle raise return. two after a pandemic era, Dilah will exciting they might have a bag, my god that is just absolutely terrible,
you know, Jonathan or mere words we're about to talk about it. He wave what's happening at worse, but takeaway, say heat way of baseball, Agnes sweeping through the hall yard. This past week out when Sarkozy that was Cheesy Saigon Asian severe Yankees fan is going to take a while about again I exist. We always make fun of people going pack your patients area about twelve times but yeah. What game Jonathan mayor, you're J you could have done. way from said the heat way, because we have the pile up in that crash that looked like the Ankara is this. We get a family this. What does destroying the ball? Four hundred and fifty plus feet socks within other sweep of the Andes. Now six against them? The serious, not what you and I could have predicted, let's say last march, but for great to see you in to close aims and then to beat the Yankees ace? Pounding essay scared. Coal,
yesterday, at its now move up five and a half games, and I think we should also mention Baseball- is this famous streaks ride Jody Mochos headings, rank cow, Ricans, consecutive game streak. There was another streak that it reach historic proportions. That was your. ending Red Sox Games justly them loose. I believe you were something I know right, four or five so far, the Syrian but yet now You are therefore a couple games, as we can, you saw some victories streak has been snapped. Congratulations to you! well why? What we think that wise and make an I had already calculated it. It was not Jack Scarborough Joey, Scarborough, Andrew Scarborough myself, every time the Red Sox loss. It was Rachel who was there as well when we blame her through or under the bus and sure enough Jack Scarborough and I the essential wines. As best we can, I will save for the Yankees. I made a very frustrating time forum, but we,
still and I say that dialogue is still very early in the season was just this time. Last week without the Yankees were or coming up we're going to catch us. I actually think that news out of the weekend, at least for the Yankees, is the fact Dj Le may hear a guy who, yet I wonder, being a cry abiding reward and and is just a phenomenal hit her husband, I'm telling you this year he caught fire this weekend and if you're looking for the Yankees to come back and and start winning more games, that's a good place to dark, yeah jar instinct is right. I fancy courses to always expect the worse, which means expect the best from the Yankees and I think, you're right. Let me you had a terrible start and has really has heated up, Judge homeward yesterday. Here's what I keep coming back to that there's so much talent in that line. Up at a certain point, they're going to hit the egg events are so ready with their team, the sheer and they have not they're! All their near the bottom illegal run score, but they will. They will feel
they have and truthfully future the red Sox have to is the pitcher call seemingly has come back to earth and we will draw any links Willie guys to the crackdown substances but breast that staff is really and down in the Balkans, not as good as it used to be now we have those concerns to, but I still do think these Yankees will be. From, even if it is a lot of winning them winning like ten day games, because their bats wake up now worrying about it to considering that Richard sat through twelve balls over the back staff in his last start, he just may have been using some substances. The baseball. But again you look at the line up and you are right. Jonathan, a mere I talk about reverse engineering alot we're always to figure out how the Yankees are going to win and break our hearts in the end. In the way, I figure it out this weekend, yes it was a red Sox weep, but all weekend I was thinking La May. You he's We know what happens you know when one guy sword sitting. It becomes
pages. You watch these Yankees if they are going to storm past everybody in the fall he'll see. Let's talk about the severe wave over the weekend, which sad record high temperatures across the western United States with Portland REACH, one hundred and twelve degree. Yesterday on instead, imaginative idleness set to meet with governors from western western states to discuss the impacts of drought, heat and wildfires and how to strengthen response efforts. Here's NBC Squad beneath us with more a dome of It keeps punishing the Pacific Northwest hundred seven at Portland International right now that equals Portland all time record high ever at least twenty million people dedicated alerts in the western. U S with residence, doing what can to escape the hottest stereos. Never soon hear me more little concerning an eye to hold the iron income
jewish and moving forward under an excessive heat warning. It will be difficult, it'll, be a struggle, but we're gonna get it done most restaurants in downtown Portland using this owner, who decided to open removing dining pods Megan their closer one two days were employed diet reservation in Seattle. The all time record high of one o three expected to be broken. Shoppers waiting in love lines for Asia Use In France S stores ran out. Meanwhile, states across the West are facing dangerous drought conditions and whether gets over a hundred degrees really busy really fast body related calls bark does. Fires are big. Big concern is going to be brushfires with forty four active large fires burning from New Mexico to Oregon
these are cancelling fourth of July fireworks as a precaution, while the temperature keeps rising under a scorching son. New major. What we're talking about the Red Sox, I mean the Red Sox again, we playing in Boston bill carries Its oxygen, be playing in Boston over the next three days, with temperatures amid a high nineties. So so this heatwave is not just affecting the as submitted its pounding. The east coast is well, isn't it started up in. These goes the heat annexed to feel like a hundred hundred and five in Boston which isn't exactly comfortable but kind. It typical for maybe once or twice a sum We're gonna get like that. Happening in the north. West is unimaginable, I mean couldn't x or anything like this ever growing up reason or anything else, just to give you some perspire
So Seattle today is expecting to hit a hundred intended groups. This is Seattle, Washington, the hottest they ever were before. This was a hundred and three so they're, going to break the all time record by seven degrees. Let's give you some perspective it up on the EAST coast, the hot temperature ever in New York and Disease, a hundred and six. So imagine if new we can t, see we're hitting a hundred and thirteen degrees. That's her I've seen and crazy that this heat record is that we're gonna set in Seattle, and Portland is right there, to Portland. Yesterday there was a hundred and twelve today they're gonna break that they're gonna be a hundred and fourteen degrees. That's usually when one annex is like that everyone's gonna, who that's really hard, it's a dry. We need its. This is the north West. We are talking about. It get slightly better as we go into two daily Seattle, Portland Cool, walk or even look at Lewiston still at a hundred and fourteen and Joe was meant.
in the northeast now getting into the mix. Thirty two million people are under dangerous heat advisory. For today these aren't heat warnings like the west, but when you get day after day, it begins the build up, Boston. Ninety Today, New York, ninety four and the difference in the North EAST is at its heart and its human, whereas in the northwest it's more of a dry toast he does not gonna be assume it so that he index will be very uncomfortable today in areas of the North EAST and unfortunately, that continue in the days ahead and joint meeting I have to say at this heatwave would happen regardless of climate change, but climate change is making the heat especially in the north West. Worse and the drought. Is me this work to the soil, it doesn't have moisture in it. Afraid of the rest of the summer is gonna. Look like in the west, so bill that climate change is for sir, is a long term effect of this, making it more intense. Let's talk about what will happen over past couple of weeks to make this happen, of course, were used to hearing
The Santa Anna winds in California sweeping down through the mountains that passes and just does California, where this air come from. Where did this front come from? It is so unusual. How did it get that hot in the Pacific Northwest. I'm glad you mentioned the Santa Anna Winds, Joe because that's exactly the same effect, that's typical over southern California. That has shifted all the way, nor into the Pacific Northwest and over British Columbia. By the way, I don't even mention that Canada yesterday set their hottest temperature they ever recorded in their country's history, so kind of picture. What happened to this and in a wind has shifted northwards and the North West and they whether records back a hundred and twenty years in the northwest and we'd never recorded anything even lower do this before so it doesn't mean never happened in history, but I mean they're saying that this is a

Joe we'll be right back where there's the pulse of climate change, the effective state marijuana. Or the challenges of racial injustice. Did your We dose of enlightening articles at MSNBC Daily Britain perspective by people. You know and trust like police human indoors. The issue of immigration, many hoskin weighing on voters, depression and frank, big Lucy, writing about national security, along with Michael Steel, offering us take on the report.

Every morning from me, he's brown start your day with MSNBC Daily MSNBC dot com, welcome back. The tramp organization is expected to be hit with criminal charges as soon as this week, multiple people familiar The matter tell him see news tromp attorney wrong. The shadow said. Company lawyers met with New York district attorney. sigh on Thursday to try and persuade his office and the state not to go forward, for surely told NBC that prevents to charge The company is completely outrageous. The Washington Post reports bans is office said today as the deadline for the former president. Is to make any final arguments as to why the Trump organ station shouldn't be charged for it
to avoid paying state taxes by paying the organizations employees with gifts. The most prominent give recipient, is alleged to be the company's chief financial officer, We saw who ass a uterus world reportedly hoping would cooperate with the investigation and implicate his boss directly. The expected crimson charges are not against Trump personally joining us. Now former- U S attorney and Emerson Bc- Contributor, Barbara Mcqueen Barbara, what can we do from the information that we know here. What we hear a Trump attorney, making public statements that he has learned that the Trump organization may be charged this week. I would take him at his word. I think that sometimes lawyers try to get out in front of those kinds of allegations so that they can use it to their advantage- try to generate some outrage in response to it, but I would look for trial
against the Trump Organization. I would also suspect that if those charges are fine Those would not be the only charges that will currently see sometimes initial charges are filed with the intention that more charges will later, but to use this moment as an opportunity to make a final approach to people like Alan, why sober or others were or level in the organization than Donald for family members Try to use it as an opportunity to secure their cooperation, Those of our reports from the trunk side that dances office told them today was a deadline. Dig in events have not to bring charges. Is that unusual sorted this final chance before charges are brought down, It is unusual, but not unheard of. Sometimes there is an effort to work out some sort of plea, agreement or cooperation to say: look you An opportunity whether it is someone like Alan Weissenburg or someone else, you have an opportunity to be a witness
instead of a defendant, but we need to go forward and you have not given us an answer yet we need to make progress in our case, so on Monday we're going too far charges unless you want to talk to us further about some sort of We deal cooperation, otherwise Those charges will be five. That is sometimes used just to let people now, I'm sure, they're being truthful about it. It is not an idle threat and I think it's I saw it as important to follow through with that threat. If you did not receive saying that you're asking for so what's aboard What are the consequences that that downsides for not just the Trump organs but any organization like this that has charges brought against Obviously, no personal charges brought against the former president are. This are wiser, Weissenburg Bit why what s the lawyers are sitting around, trying to figure out what the impulse.
Actions might be for their organization white there are some of the biggest concerns the Trump Organization might have right. Now well, I'm a number one if they are convicted of the charges. They would likely be very substantial funds for the organization, obviously corporate organizations. Corporate entities can't go to prison, but they can face substantial fines, Also be very harmful to the business dealings of an organization, even to be under indictment. Oftentimes people don't want to enter into account with organizations affiliate with them for publicity purposes when there are indictment. So there are a number of problems that occur for a corporation when there are no under indictment, but also I It signals the possibility that war- charges are coming for individuals who are executives and the organization.
Barbara. Another story want to ask you about an annex excerpt from the Atlantic. Jonathan corals, upcoming book betrayal, former a general bill bar gives an inside look at his break with President tromp over false claims of election fraud Carl Rights jar looked into allegations that voting machines across the country were rigged to switch Trump boats to Biden. Boats we realised from the beginning. It was just be ass. Bar told me, noting that if the machine somehow change the count it would show up when they were recounted by hand we realise from the beginning. It was just be from that they search for it mounting machine and they save everything that was counted so You just reconcile the two there. Had been. No discrepancy reported it anywhere and I'm still not aware of any discrepancy.
bar also were counted telling and Associated press reporter that there was no election fraud and promptly being asked to verify it by then President Trump, which he did, the former president, asked how the f could you do this to me? Why did you say it? Because it's true bar answered the president livid respond By referring to himself in the third person. You must hate Trump, unlike I know, it's hard line really statement. Last relate Sunday. The former president called are a rhino who quote Ray a down the american people and quote: was it appointment in every sense of the word farmer Quaid your thoughts on this and how, potentially all of this can build up to the big lie. could have been put to bed a lot earlier
That report also talks about how much Mcconnell was urging William BAR to come out and make these public statements not disease the country, but to save the GEO p remember. This was during the time when the we're just Senate raise was still up in the air and management. How very much Wanna Donald trump down their campaigning for the republican candidates, but he was too busy focused on trying to work his own election and so before. We deify, William BAR for being such a great guy. I think it is good that he did not further abuse the Justice Department to advance from a political agenda, keeping my one thing he did do in the way after the election, he reversed the Justice Department policy. That said we are not to investigate election fraud, clay was before votes are certified and there The reason is that is not the job of the Justice Department. We have secretaries of state around the country whose job is it what you just said, make a to do hand Coulson recounts and defy the election results. It is the job of the justice system.
to investigate crimes and those We done after the fact and so changing that policy, I think, was further advancing Donald. agenda in those early days after the election, John Velamir. We see yet another cabinet official and we saw it happening in real time. Somebody who compromise their integrity bent over backwards to help Donald Trump violated it certainly in in my view, in the view of many other conservative legal scholars really breach constitutional norms. putting Donald drops interests over the interests of this country over matters. Democracy, but still that night being enough in the end when he refused to help the president try to overturn a presidential election for this story uses a terrific moment using a third person
I think I'm gonna start doing more of you must hate Amira, exactly nobody mirror doesn't like widely Yankees or doing we're just like that at all. When they start hitting later this year, Now you are. You write, Joe than I thought their couple things at play here, first of all, a little bit. rotation, laundry, obviously by the former attorney general. Putting this in the end in this new book this coming out later this year But I also think that it goes the system held, but just barely, and I think that is one of the biggest since coming from what we saw in the twenty twenty election with trumpeted while assault on our democratic process, army integrity, the ballot on how elections are conducted certified Miss in this nation and it wasn't just. Didn't just carbonate, of course, in the riot, the cap, one January six, but all these other move maneuvers behind the scenes and we're looking. We still are learning two months later, we're still learn
about some of the things the President President Trump tried to do in those close to him, like chief of staff, marked meadows, tried to do and to push He's completely nonsensical allegations of road or fraud, an attorney general bar, no doubt through met. most of his tenure did what the President wanted him to do from first moments in the job. Basically whitewashing the robber mothers findings to spin that north positive way for Donald Trump. he held here, he wouldn't go through this final request from the president. This system did when it was first you at the end, but it shows how close we are and how dangerous it could be. Something like this were to happen again in the future elections. all. Right and finally, Barbara tell us about your new peace for MSNBC entitled Michigan GEO P shoot down trumps big election lie sort of What do you mean by sort of
in Michigan. Last week a report came out, it was conducted by Majority Republican Senate committee. It investigated. All of these bases claims in Michigan about election fraud, about balance being dumped at the convention. centre in Detroit in about machines, miss counting and dead people voting, and it did bunk all of them it found that there was no evidence whatsoever. In fact it went so far. As recommend that our stated three general look into prosecuting those people who, by making some of those baseless claims, so you think that would mean end of story of any changes devoting laws in Michigan when you, but just the opposite. Is is occurring despite. that this is all a pretext, Republicans Michigan are continuing to persist in changing the law in similar ways that we ve seen in Georgia in Florida and other states to make it harder to vote under the guise of protecting voter integrity
Text is no way to run policy in a government, and so one would hope that now that these theories have been debunked, we would stop in barriers to voting, but none the less The persisting and one has to ask the reason why perhaps it's because there are certain people that Republicans dont want to be able to vote Barber Mccoy Thank you very much for coming on the show this morning and still ahead will go back lives at the sight of last week's conduct. lapse and surf side Florida as rescue for its enter day.
