All right, good morning and welcome to Morning Joe. It is Wednesday, December 1st. We've got lots of questions this morning and the very right people to answer them. Is the new strain of COVID already inside the United States? We're going to talk to the U.S. Surgeon General about that.

What is New York City's plan to fight back against the virus? The outgoing mayor joins the

conversation. Is Donald Trump's former chief of staff ready to flip? We'll talk to the chair

of the Intel Committee who is investigating the insurrection and can Congress find common ground

on anything. We are joined by two U.S. senators, one Democrat, one Republican, who are taking a stab

at it. With us, we have former aide to the George W. Bush White House and State Department's

Elise Jordan, the host of way too early and White House Bureau Chief at Politico,

Jonathan Lemire, and host of MSNBC's Politics Nation and president of the National Action

Network, Reverend Al Sharpton joins us. Joe, yeah, a lot of questions pertaining to Congress this morning.

Yeah, I'm just going through the New York Post.

New York Post gets really interesting.

The cooler it gets, more distracted people get, more interesting it gets.

So Mississippi, I don't see anything in here about Mississippi, Elise Jordan.

Big Day in Mississippi.

They're missing out on covering, you know, Mississippi drama, Mississippi.

We deserve full coverage, you know, as this Supreme Court case is center stage.

What do you think?

I don't really have that much faith that Mississippi has terrific counsel that's going to be able to make the case, frankly, if I'm going to give my brutal.

To get the court off of Vodivority.

To overturn, to overturn Roe versus Wade.

I just am not.

I don't have that much confidence.
