Butler's invitation to Mika's KYV summit could raise her profile and convince her to run for the Senate. I am sure Mika would give Senator Butler a discount on the costs to attend the summit.

Mika got very emotional when Joe proposed a solution to the border crisis. The transcript of Mika's comments are funny. https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/mark-finkelstein/2023/10/02/scarboroughs-free-advice-biden-deal-swiftly-unprecedented

Mika was happy that Governor Newsom appointed Laphonza Butler to fill Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat. She is African American & the first LGBT Senator from California. Mika said she the Senator would be eligible to attend her KYV summit next year in Dubai.

The first topic today was Trump's speech in California. Joe was outraged that Trump made fun of Paul Pelosi getting hit with a hammer by an intruder. Joe was upset that Trump used profanity in a speech. Mika is mad that people still support Trump.

Joe announced the passing of Senator Feinstein. She had a very long career in politics.

Joe is in NY today with the panel. Joe said he knew that Trump 's business empire was overvalued. Joe said that even during the Apprentice TV show, business executives knew Trump was not a business genius. That didn't stop Mika & Joe from appearing on the show. Joe said he was asking questions about Jeffrey Epstein for years before he was convicted. Mika is in a different studio with Jackie.

During the 2020 Presidential campaign, Joe said Biden should get out of his basement and do more retail campaigning & knocking on doors to get votes. It was a risky strategy for a Presidential candidate to go door-knocking with the Secret Service I am surprised that Joe wasn't on the DC news every night. Joe said he forced Newt & Clinton to balance the budget.

There are photos & short video clips of them at Joe's congressional museum in Pensacola Florida. It's a popular tourist attraction. Here is a transcript from Joe's opening rant. https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/mark-finkelstein/2023/09/26/joe-scarborough-and-crew-biden-journalists-are-just-too-civil

Joe went on a long rant today against the Biden campaign for not fighting harder against Trump. Joe said when he was campaigning to be reelected to Congress, the Democrats accused Joe of cutting Medicare. Joe replied that he was only proposing to slow the growth of medicare payments to prevent the fund from going bankrupt. Joe said he won all the debates against his opponents, and no one opposed him again when he ran in 1998 and 2000. Mika beamed at Joe after he told his story. Will the Biden campaign listen to Joe? Mika & Joe mocked Senator Menendez for accepting cash bribes and gold bars. I doubt his daughter would appreciate Mika and Joe teasing her dad.

Joe is opposed to letting Trump take over control of the FCC & control TV licenses. Joe's show could get cancelled. Mika was upset that Trump had sex with a porn star. Mika is very agitated this morning and is holding her cup with her hands tightly.

Joe is mad at Trump for not supporting Mark Milley. Milley wanted to warn China in case Trump decided to use military action against China. There was a brief mention of Senator Menendez being indicted for bribery.

Joe said that the Biden administration has to stop promoting Bidenomics and focus on criticizing Trump. However, Joe spent the summer telling viewers that the economy was doing well & Biden should promote his accomplishments. Joe should try to remember his talking points from a few months ago. Joe did make a good point that Biden has been underestimated since the early 2020 primaries. Joe doesn't believe the Washington Post poll showing Trump ahead by 10 points. He called the Democrats bedwetters. Mika said that Morning Joe was working on getting the makers of Depends underwear to sponsor Morning Joe since many of their viewers get nervous about polls. Mika wants Democrats to get behind Joe Biden. She said Trump didn't work very hard when he was President.

Joe is happy that a new poll in NH shows Biden leading Trump by 12%. Joe said viewers should know that voters in suburbs that voted for Biden in 2020 won't switch to Trump. Joe said Democrats should be bedwetters over any national polls. Joe said Zelensky should say Thank You for weapons from allies. Joe defended Poland for saving millions of refugees when the war started. Mika was upset that Poland was stopping weapons shipments during the election campaign. Farmers don't want Ukraine grain.

There were rumours that Joe would give a speech at the UN assembly this week, given his numerous connections with world leaders. However, the UN would not pay for a private jet for Mika & Joe to get to NYC so they politely declined.

Can you imagine Joe & Chris Matthews being co-hosts of a show? Both of them would try and out-talk each other.

No. It was tough to watch.

Mika mentioned the story around 7:25 a.m. She didn't provide any editorial comments on the allegations.

I wish we could have an E ! True Hollywood Story about Morning Joe. I would love to find out how they treat the production team & guests of the show.

Joe is furious at McCarthy for having an impeachment inquiry. Joe said Republicans are doomed because they will lose votes in the suburbs of Atlanta & Philadelphia. Joe said if he were Speaker he would not give in to the caucus. Mika & Joe are no longer BFF with Jared & Ivanka. She got trademarks in China & Jared got billions to invest. I remember when Joe & Mika used to brag about being close too them. Every day, we had to listen to Joe's insider tips from Jared. Meacham is a lot paler in the studio than when he is in his library.

Joe is very knowledgeable about sports. He used to attend Boston Red Sox games courtesy of Barnicle. Joe's recommendations were followed by the team and they won several World Series. I was shocked he was allowed to be on the show, given his opinion of Biden. He always looks like he doesn't comb his hair before being on tv. Joe is yelling about crime today & those people that supporting defunding the police.

Joe is yelling at Gov Asa about high crime in Washington DC.

Mika & Katty Kay were wearing the same dress today. Katty said Mika has better lighting . Joe is mad at Republicans for trying to shutdown the government & trying to impeach Biden. Joe said abortion will be a key issue next year. Joe said the January 6th rioters killed cops. Joe is mad at Trump for stealing nuclear secrets & plans to invade Iran.

Joe gets criticized again by a conservative website for his analysis of President Biden's press conference in Vietnam. https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/mark-finkelstein/2023/09/11/nice-try-morning-joe-show-argues-trump-not-biden-not-all-there

The show started with a tennis talk. Goff won the tournament. Joe said she was a good tennis player and showed grace. Joe & Mika mocked Trump for saying he passed a mental acuity test. Joe is mad at people in the media that were worried about President Biden sounding tired at the press conference that had to be stopped by KJP. The show was careful not to show the clip. Sharpton said Trump says stupid things on a daily basis. Joe is mad at Republicans that watch Fox news & Newsmax. Joe said the USA has a 25 trillion GDP. It's higher than China's 17 trillion . Katty Kay said the USA will avoid a recession.
