Good morning and welcome to Morning, Joe. It is Friday, April 16th, along with Joe, Willie, and me,

There is a lot that we are covering this morning, the new round of strict sanctions that the U.S. levied on Russia, the comments from the CEO of Pfizer, that the need for COVID booster shots is looking more and more likely.

Today marks 100 days since the deadly capital insurrection. And we have new details on that

We will have the very latest from Minnesota,

where the former officer charged in the death of Dante Wright
