we'll take a look at the episode of sean mendez and then willie geist sitting down with the great julian. so that was fun. we have got sunny anderson here cooking and then all things 9:00. like the way we do. in the beginning. >> all things 9:00. hey, dylan, what time is the 9:00 show? >> pretty sure it's in a few minutes. >> have a great weekend, everybody! watch craig and dylan tomorrow. >> back after your local news. >>> hi, good morning, everyone. 8:56 on this friday, september 1st. let's have a look at the roads this morning with jack taylor. >> thank you. good morning. trouble in springfield. trying to make the getaway, careful. 95 southbound, two right lanes getting by the scene of this accident heading down toward the headed to fredericksburg, you are good. we had a broken down on the eastbound span that cleared. both lanes are open. waiting for that third one to do the getaway. back to you. >> trying to do did getaway. will the weather hold up for you? we'll check in with sheena next. duke's is the perfect companion for so many things. it makes a tomato taste more like a tomato

. >> willie geist, a lot of those people were actually apologizing for donald trump and if one of theean, we all saw some clips last night that chuck schumer and nancy pelosi became the height heroes, this was all poor paul ryan's fault. he's a little more upset about this i'm sure than anybody. so that's the thing, willie, trumpers are going to follow donald trump no matter what he does. so if he's doing deals with democrats when he needs to do deals with democrats, they'll still be with him. he may pick up one or two people in the middle. >> when you look at that photograph right there we had of schuk cluck schumer and the president of the united states, an incredible photograph, donald trump looks like schumer is jabbing a finger in his face. we know what is happening, trump is with a guy he knows around new york, we did a deal together. there is an ease that the president has with chuck schumer he does not have with mitch mcconnell, that's a fact. if you can imagine sitting in the oval office with secretary steve mnuchin thinking this is a photo op. it will all go one way, having

. >> congressman, it's willie geist.p and looking healththy morning. >> i am so happy to be seen. >> how are you feeling, sir? >> i feel real good. >> good. i want to ask you, to get your take on the news overnight we've been talking about. it's the race in alabama where judge roy moore won. what does it tell you? does it tell you something about alabama or does it tell you something about where national politics and the mid term races are headed that a guy like roy moore with all the positions and beliefs we just laid out was able to win that race? >> basically what happens happened is that donald trump, our president, has laid out the foundation for the roy moores to emerge, to be able to win races like this. in other words although president trump was for mr. strange, the fact is that roy moore probably is more akin to donald trump than strange. and so i think basically the climate has been set. and on a slight detour from that subject let me say this to joe and mika. i listened to you all very carefully as you talked

. >> it's willie geist. there was a race in alabama settled on tuesday night.ink that roy moore should he win the general election would be a good addition to the congress? >> i think the alabama voter is the one who decides that. obviously we had a personal choice in that bringing forth judge roy moore but that was more an indication of the frustration that i wastalking a there's a frustration of said, get something done and so that overwhelming victory for judge roy moore was more a pushback against mitch mcconnell and the fact that they failed on a number of campaign promises to deliver something to the president's desk and so as we look at that he'll make a good senator. i do believe that he'll win in december and ultimately the people of alabama will have a voice here on capitol hill. we need to turn capitol hill back to its rightful owner and that's we, the people, and sadly so many times members of the house and senate forget that. >> you say he'll be a good senator, are you comfortable with some of the views he's espoused as recently on the campaign tra
