Good morning.

And welcome to Morning Joe.

It is Monday, October 6.

There's a lot to get to this morning, including the latest on the ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas.

Ahead of a meeting today in Egypt.

Big developments. Meanwhile in Washington, the government shutdown is entering day six.

We'll show you what both sides are saying about it, as well as Ali Vitale sit down with speaker Mike Johnson.

Also ahead, we'll go through the flurry of moves related to the National Guard and the efforts by the Trump administration to send troops to Chicago and Portland, Oregon.

We'll also take a look at the big weekend in sports with updates on the MLB playoffs and top teams losing in the NFL.

Jonathan Lemire. I mean, you're Patriots, do we dare say the Pats are back?

The rest of the league won't be happy about it.

He's not right to say it.

But the New England Patriots might be on the verge of being back.

This was an extremely impressive Sunday night win over Josh Allen on the road in Buffalo.

Drake May looked good for a young team.

It's potentially an important mark.

I mean, Drake May was a guy that couldn't throw 15 and out in the combines.

A lot of people thought he was a really bad choice for the Patriots.

Of course, the Patriots also gave up Mack Jones, who was doing, as you said before.

Nothing but winning in San Francisco. I mean, it's an extraordinary story for Mac Jones. But, you know, the thing is, I didn't get to watch yesterday, sports yesterday afternoon. Of course, Willie and I go to the dog track, and then we go to the orphanage, and we do our sort of Catsk skills routine for them. So I miss the Giants.

How did the Giants do yesterday? Did they win?

That's five turnovers on five straight possessions. Okay, but the Yankees obviously won, right?
