it's unbelievable, mika. >> yeah. of the catholic church, its leaders and his mission as pope. he called to, quote, include those who are now excluded and preach peace and said the papacy was too vatican centric. pope francis also spoke about the missions of pope john paul ii and pope john xxiii. the vatican just announced both men will become sanlts next year. >>> and the "san francisco chronicle," a federal regulations moving a step closer to allowing passengers to use electronic devices below an altitude of 10,000 feet. the decision now rests in the hands of the faa. some devices will need to be switched to airplane mode during takeoff. i think, you know, this is fine as long as you just ban all talking on cell phones. >> exactly. >> from the second you step into the airport to the second you leave. >> "breaking bad" is breaking records. the series finale with a record high viewers for the show. that's more than a 50% jump from last week's last episode. the finale set a record on twitter with more than 1.2 million

>> good morning, mika. joe at his best. one year ago today was when hurricane sand die was going onshore in southern jersey and this storm, obviously, left its mark on the worst we've ever seen in this country. i want to explain briefly why it was so bad and could it happen genotype scenarios. as far as the storm there wasn't a storm so bad a category 1 hurricane. one of the largest storms we've ever seen in the atlantic basin let alone one coming on shore in the highly populated areas of new jersey and the storm track was unprecedented. usually these storms go up to the bahamas and out to sea. but than left turn. 50 billion, about second all time. as far as today's weather, there's some bad storms in the middle of the country. kansas city, minneapolis. next couple of days severe weather outbreak is possible in st. louis to dallas-ft. worth. east coast the fine. middle of the country is where your travel trouble will be today right through halloween. you're watching "morning joe" on this wednesday. i started part-time, now

>> i think that's a gimmick, mika.ts candy for breakfast. give me my way or we will shut down government. the zob is to keep it functioning. this is not a place for negotiation. this is what we should be doing. it's part of our jobs. >> so where is this going? >> i think being unreasonable, they have to be hold no and come back to the table. if john boehner allowed a vote today, he would have bipartisan support, democrats and republicans to vote for allowing the government to stay open. a clean resolution. that's what they should do. this is a fight between republicans. it's between common sense republicans who want to do their jobs and those who just want to say no, it's how government works. it's not the way the constitution was designed. we need to have a vote and let the house vote on this measure and keep the government open. it will pass overwhelm lg on a by partisan basis. >> as you know, speaker boehner and the republicans have this ala cart whied that you can vote incrementally to keep the parks open. we had s

what's happening in the news today, mika? >> well we got a lot going on. we'll try to figure out the next issue which is government by crisis. first the shutdown may be over but the divisions that sparked the standoff remain. yesterday president obama spoke about the crisis that put the united states on the brink of default. >> there are no winners here. these last few weeks have inflicted completely unnecessary damage on our economy. probably nothing has done more damage to america's credibility in the world, our standing with other countries, than the spectacle that we've seen these past several weeks. you don't like a particular policy, or a particular president, then argue for your position. go out there and win an election. push to change it. but don't break it. don't break what our predecessor spent over two centuries building. >> well, joe, at this point the president, you know, trying to shift the attention back to a second term agenda but also talking about what happened and what he feels the republican party has don

bill. >> good morning to you, mika.at lakes to the ohio valley now moving into the northeast. some will go to the deep south later on tonight. so again, it's that time of year you expect this to happen anyway. i have colored in here everywhere in blue below 40 degrees this morning. so good half of the country is experiencing this little cold chill. the exception is the extreme southern half of the country, where it will be a beautiful day. for our friends on the west coast, i haven't talked about a storm on the west coast in forever. it is your dry season. as we go to november/december, you get more wet weather. but for the entire year, we have only had 2 inches of rain in san francisco. and about 2 3/4 in l.a. we are on pace for the driest year ever in california. our departures from normal are about 8 to 12 inches there from san francisco all the way to l.a. so we desperately need the rainy season to kick in a big way here in california. we're going to talk about another horrible fire season come next spring. rest of

mika, my mom is a good liberal. she loves you, she's happy i'm on the show.ou are a part of the problem, because the republican caucus sometimes can be unreasonable. look how far we want to move. we said we want to defund it. now we want to delay it. now ewe want to ask for weeks to and reforms. if you called out your liberal guests, why wouldn't you call for obama care? if it's good for americans, why isn't it good for you? if the american family can't sign up on the tax site, why attack them? >> you have a lot of good questions, you so kindly put it i will ask you very honestly. >> i would guess your question is better. >> that's fine. do you not think that members of your party, especially in congress and in the ted cruz group are not imploding the republican party big picture? just big picture. politics. put all this aside for a second. are you guys not imploding? >> big picture. i think this was a horrible strategy. i came on your show. i said. that if we had allowed obama care to roll out and for two weeks america saw the dysfunction. then as we roll in

did you see them women in len to talk to mika? they encircled lou wis?aying jacks. >> they were having both of us. really appreciate it. >> lewis? >> you were great. >> louis was a beg hit. you made a big impression on people. >> it is. quite a message. let's get to the must reads. i picked this one. this is actually a letter to the editor. tell me, if anyone at this table disagrees with this. sam stein in washington as well. the affordable care act, ratified by duly elected representatives of the american people, signed into law by our now twice-elected president, and upheld by the supreme court is now the law of the land. yet, they want to kill this statute by whatever means necessary. the government shutdown and their conspirators reflects a contempt for our democratic process and constitutes a complete ab rogation of their responsibility to support and defend the constitution. >> you asked. i will answer. i disagree with every part of it. the madisonian answer to this is vote out f. everybody announces a representative, vote them out. that's what mad

so mika, yesterday after the deal came down i tweeted same as it ever was.ning about how great republican governors are doing outside of washington. they are embarrassed to be standing with people inside washington. 1998, 1999, i say hi they run in the other direction. whoa. he was guesting things done like guys -- he's in boston now former republican governor of florida, jeb bush, chairman of the foundation for excellence in education. jeb i was hurt when you got a restraining order in northwest florida. i could not be seen with you in public. it was kind of sad. >> it's nice that you're out of the witness protection program, joe. >> it really is. so you and your organization take up a summit right now on education. we're going to talk to you about that in one minute. but talk about how the republican party isn't always defined by what goes on inside this city, that as it was when you were governor it is today governors are actually getting things done by working with democrats, and actually looking for solutions instead of cheap shots. >> i think republica

mika was asking how being close to death and knowing -- did it narrow your focus?rried what people were saying about you >> what was symbolically about what happened before, what had a big impact that morning was back in the '80s i had been part of a program that was then classified, part of it is still is that focused on what do we do if we have an all out global nuclear war with the soviet union. we get hit by multiple war heads. this program was maintaining the continuity of the government. how do we protect the government process here in the united states when washington is a target and lord knows who is going to get hit. we did exercises on that on a regular basis. 9/11 was bad, and was a terrible tragedy, but we had practiced, i had actually trained on circumstances far worse. and that training sort of kicked in that morning and one of the main things we had to do is make sure the line of succession was protected. i got danny hastert to a remote location because he was next in line. >> did your wife ever say dick enough. enough. you've served. come home. we'r
