Good morning and welcome to morning, Joe. It is Friday, February 14th, Valentine's Day. We have got a lot to get to this morning, including the fallout from the Justice Department's order to drop the corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams and

accusations of a quid pro quo between the mayor and the DOJ. Plus, we'll play for you,

President Trump's comments about Senator Mitch McConnell as the former party leader voted against

yet another one of the president's cabinet nominees.

Also ahead, we'll bring you the latest out of Ukraine after a potentially catastrophic

Russian drone strike inside the war-torn country and will go through President Trump's new

tariff proposal and the criticism from a major conservative outlet.

Meanwhile, there are more legal challenges to Elon Musk's seemingly unchecked power within the federal government.

We'll explain that.

And we'll be joined by a comedic legend and one of the original SNL cast members.

Chevy Chase is our guest ahead of this Sunday's big 50th anniversary special.

Along with Willie and me, we have the co-host of our fourth hour,

contributing writer at the Atlantic, Jonathan Lemire,

and the host of way too early, Ali Vitale.

First things first, everybody. It's Valentine's Day.

Willie? Yes. And are you prepared to Valentine's Day?

The flowers have been ordered. Jonathan Lamere.

Our plans are made. Oh, really? Plans are made. Surprises? Yes. Oh, wow. Wow, Willie. Okay. Well done.

Went to dinner last night. Last night. Last night. It's today. Went to dinner last night.

Allie Vitale's been reminding everyone all week. So, uh, thank you for that. I wouldn't have known it was

Valentine's Day. Um, so, Ally, you set to go? I love love.

I mean, so sue me.
