Joe returned today. He Joesplained the issue of Israel ending the occupation of Gaza in 2005 to the Israeli Press spokesperson. He agreed with all of Joe's points. Joe said aid to Gaza is used by Hamas to make tunnels.

Joe forgot to tell DeSantis that he was awarded the Key to the City of Jerusalem when he was in Congress for his support of Israel.

The interview with DeSantis began at 947 am. Joe said they would focus on Israel . Joe invited DeSantis back for another interview. later. DeSantis had good knowledge about the history of Israel. He said Florida has a large Jewish community & everyone is hurting. DeSantis does support Israel defending itself & it shouldn't be afraid of any backlash from the UN. DeSantis brought up his service in Iraq. Iranian-backed militias killed Americans in Falujjah. DeSantis wants more sanctions on Iran. They shouldn't use money to fund terrorism. Joe said Iran has sponsored terrorism since 1979. DeSantis said money is fungible. Iran could use money from different sources to fund terrorism. DeSantis implied that he wouldn't support the Trump waiver. He blamed Obama & Biden for being too dovish on Iran. Joe said Netanyahu's indictments may have distracted him. He said Haaretz was a left-wing newspaper. Joe doesn't want Biden campaigning from his basement. Trump shouldn't keep documents in a toilet.

Mediaite covered the landmark interview which some described as a Clash of Florida Titans. https://www.mediaite.com/tv/ron-desantis-visits-morning-joe-seriously-gets-pressed-by-scarborough-on-trump-exposing-iran-invasion-plans/

It was an informative show during the first hour today. Joe started his rant by blaming Trump for letting South Korea buy $6 Billion of Iranian Oil in 2018. The money was frozen until the deal with Iran to free some American hostages recently. A guest said the money had not been spent yet, so Hamas didn't get that money to fund the attack on Israel.

Captain Sandy will have a tough time dealing with Tumi & Natalya.

I would watch it. Joe considers himself to be one of the top political strategists in Florida after his victories in Congress in the 1990s.

Joesplaining! I love that term! He usually turns to Mika and starts shouting and waving his hands around.

Joe started yelling at Lemire about Democrats thinking they can do better than Kevin McCarthy

Josh Gottheimer won't support one member forcing a vote to vacate the chair. Joe is a Burkian Conservative. Joe now backtracks and says he may have voted with Josh.

Joe is mad at the problem solvers caucus for not defending McCarthy. Josh said he worked on the debt celing deal. Joe said he crossed party lines when he was in Congress. Joe is furious as Josh for talking back to Joe, saying he didn't vote for Dick Gepheardt for speaker. Bellowing Joe is back. He doesn't want the house run by freaks! Joe is an institutionalist. Joe said "Let me finish !!!!"

Joe said Ukraine will not regain control of Crimea. Joe supports a ceasefire with Russia & allowing them to join the EU.

Joe loved the Johnny Carson show when he was growing up. Carson was popular in the midwest. Donny Deutsh said his tv show is available on iTunes. It was a comedy. Mika said she wouldn't watch it even though she appeared in one episode.

Joe is not a fan of My Pillow. Joe mocked him for not paying his legal fees.

Joe should have mentioned that he was once close to Gaetz & his dad and contributed to his campaigns in the past. https://www.politico.com/news/stories/1110/45411_Page2.html

Chris Matthews was a guest. He worked for Speaker Tip Oneill. he was a top-rated speaker and got along with President Reagan.

The major topic today is Speaker McCarthy getting ousted. Joe blamed Republicans for letting Gaetz force a vote. The GOP is doomed, according to Joe. Mika was excited about Senator Kennedy saying that you should follow your heart but take your brains with you. Mika said she will use that expression at her next KYV Seminar. Mika is wearing a light blue shawl. palmieri said Democrats don't trust Mccarthy so they let him lose the vote.

Mika was excited that Katelin Cricco was on Mika's FIRST 50 over 50 list & she just won the Nobel prize for her work on MRNA vaccines. Mika took credit for inspiring the DR to help develop the vaccines.

Joe is mad at Trump for attacking the judge and prosecutors.

Today's first topic was John Kelly confirming that Trump didn't want amputees to attend events at the White House. Joe was outraged at Trump for not serving in Vietnam and attacking veterans who were wounded in battle. Trump didn't want to visit a cemetery in France. Mika is wearing a new purple and orange scarf. Joe is happy that the late-night talk shows are back. John Lemire said that Trump's support won't be affected by the new revelations. Lemire said The military men don't want Trump to be reelected.

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.
