Morning Joe: All Episodes Talk

They ran this vid on Morning Joe First Look after reporting on the science teacher in New Mexico busted with everything needed to produce a pound of meth.

Why anyone would have that boob on as a guest? He's a pretty boy who reads the news. He hasn't gotten off his ass to do any reporting in decades, brings nothing to the table.

They should try to limit their guests to actual journalists, elected officials or government officers, or authors.  And if they're going to keep using their friends as panelists, they should rotate them more often. Barnicle hasn't done anything useful in decades (if ever). Harold Ford brings nothing.

Brian Williams used to be on the show as a special guest with "gravitas" before his suspension. After he came back on air, Mika & Joe said they were looking forward to working with him again. He has never appeared since then. Now they bring out Tom Brokaw as legendary anchor man.

I completely agree with you on the selection of panelists. I don't even feel like recapping what they say.

Probably no one deciding the fate of Obamacare has to use the Obamacare exchanges.

I do, and I've been in a state of constant anxiety since November 8.   And it never ends.  They keep at it and at it and at it, like rats gnawing at a thick wooden door knowing that sooner or later they will wear it down.

MSNBC was running commercials after the election about how close Joe is to Trump. "Joe was the first to report..." They bragged about Harold Ford Jr & Richard Haas joining Trump's cabinet. They soured on him after not getting the interview on New Year's Eve.

[oakville]

Wednesday Recap. Trump is out of control & picking fights with everyone over the budget deal. Mulvaney is doing press secretary job about a new wall somewhere. It was hilarious because no one knows where it is. Peter wanted to know where it was. They didn't discuss Alexander getting in trouble yesterday for retweeting a photo of Ivanka Trump promoting a new Trump Hotel in the Philippines. Alexander had to issue a retraction.

Joe said Trump is like a baseball player who hits doubles and yells at people in the bleachers.

Joe is upset that Trump doesn't understand any of the rules of Washington.

There is a new glamor shot of Mika gazing at Joe driving in a fancy car.

Joe called Hillary pathetic over her explanations of losing the election. Mika refused to say anything about Hillary. Mika sighed and breathed heavily into the camera. Mika looked like someone killed her puppy.

Joe wants his daughter to grow up to be Hillary for her persistence.

Joe is being revisionist again. He was in awe of Hillary's field operation until after the election.

Joe mocked Hillary for saying she lost areas with no cellphone coverage. New Canaan was a Democratic stronghold. Joe hates his cellphone provider.

Joe trashed Hillary for her server, no message, she refused to come on Morning Joe etc..Hillary should not have called Trump supporters Deplorables.

Willie's birthday! Willie said Hillary & Trump should stop talking about the election.

Joe said Trump would win Pennsylvania.

Joe said he knew all along that Trump would win the mid west. C'Mon Joe! Joe demanded that TRump drop out in October. At no time did he say Trump would win those states.

Sigh........

Mika finally admitted that Hillary wanted a coronation. Joe is on a rant against Hillary. Why did she wantto run for Presidenent. Joe is stomping his hands on the table.

[oakville]

Mika said that Trump was brilliant to go after Hillary for Bill Clinton's infidelity with her & Monica Lewinsky.

The other GOP candidates did not want to discuss Bill's personal life. Trump brought Bill's sexual assault victims to the debate.

Willie defended Lester Holt for asking about jobs. Hilllary for got about that question. She was mad about frivolous questions.

Joe said Hillary was the only possible candidate who was more dishonest than Trump.

Mika wants America to move on from the Clintons. She called it Sickly.

[revbfc]

I would like to give Mika some credit for being self aware enough to give a disclaimer to the audience that she realizes none of this is funny, and that they were trying to release some stress through humor.

I don't recall her making this point in this way but I will watch the video again when it's up on the website. I do remember them all agreeing that the power of the Access Hollywood material was diluted by Bill Clinton's history with women and Hillary's complacency with it (she *did* go around and try to spread the rumor that  Lewinsky was a crazy narcissistic stalker, as accounted in her friend Diane Blair's diary.)

I don't believe that Scarborough wants his daughter (daughters?) to be like Hillary Clinton.

You should watch the video. Joe was very complimentary about Hillarys work ethic. She is an excellent role model for his daughter.

in Dec 2015, Joe loved Trumps strategy of tweeting about Bill & his ladies. 

Mika has frequently expressed outrage over  bills behavior in the White houseHouse

Ok but he was never on the show when he was working in afternoons either. They won't even due pre taped interviews with him. It's as if he doesn't exist.

i agree that Brokaw should retire. 

I am surprised that Mika & Joe did not celebrate Hugh Hewitt & CAckles getting a show on MSNBC. 

Mika was. Very happy last year when the network began to purge anchors who didn't agree with Joe.

[Mumbles]

So the premise of Willie's question to Warren - Dems will have to choose between a progressive agenda, or targeting Obama voters who voted for Trump - is a false choice, and Warren picked up on that immediately, but politely. That was a great segment - they gave it enough time to get some good questions and thoughtful answers. She's smart, earned everything on her own, and sincerely cares about working families. What a refreshing change!

The guy with the hat from the Circus is ridiculous, predicting in May 2017 that Warren will be the Dem nominee and lose. Did anyone see Trump coming in May 2013? Or predict Sanders' strong showing then? These people are useless.

What surprised me about the Hillary Clinton discussion is that they all mentioned the book Shattered, the brutal post mortem of the Clinton campaign. I don't recall the book coming up before and I suspect they haven't talked about it because it scoops Halperin.

[Jordan Baker]

Speaking of books, did they discuss Ivanka's new book? The one in which she gives advice to working women? I haven't read it (nor do I plan to), but I thought Mika might want to put in a plug for her new BFF. I'm guessing the book will be of great value to all those women who were born wealthy, went to work for daddy, and have a full household staff.

Why do you have so much hate for Tom Brokow? What's wrong with him honoring WWII vets and Viet Nam vets? I admire him for that. Perhaps that's because my father was in WWII and I'm married to a Viet Nam vet.

Mika is in excellent shape. In one of her books, she admitted that she had gained weight after the birth of her kids. She dressed frumpy & was reprimanded by network executives who told her to get herself camera ready.  She took time off to "refresh" herself with a new face & breast augmentation. She was happy with the results & was able to make a comeback at MSNBC.

I appreciate that there is discussion of Trump potentially having Dementia. He is the oldest elected President in US history.  Mika & Joe are playing the role of TV Doctors & trying to diagnose their friend of 12 years as having dementia. It's very rude. If my friends were showing symptoms of a medical issue, I would contact them privately to see if I could help or see how he is doing. Making public accusations to score cheap ratings points is ridiculous. During the campaign, Joe was busy writing articles for the Washington Post blasting Trump. Joe's son , who was diagnosed with Asperbergers fell down the stairs and was hospitalized. Trump called Joe to see how Andrew was doing and showed some sympathy. Joe was appreciative & mentioned it on air that despite their political differences, Trump was classy .

I think the presidency is a very tough job. Trump is probably overwhelmed with all the demands of the job. Mika & Joe should show the same grace as Trump did & contact him to make sure he is ok or call Jared or Ivanka.

It doesn't help anyone to have the president of the USA behaving in an erratic fashion.

Mika looks lovely today in pink top & navy cardigan. Mika is wearing her engagement ring. It's Bigly! God Job Joe!

Joe is wearing a suit.

Main topic today is Why was Anthony Weiner printing out Huma's classified emails? That's silly. Joe & Ford Jr said they would be prosecuted for mishandling classified info. Huma should be indicted.

Joe is mad at the GOP for passing health care law without a CBO score. They will lose in Congress.

Moyadin wants the Palestinia issue solved. Trump wants peace between Jews & Palestinians. It's easy according to Trump. Moyadin saidno. Could be 1 or 2 state solution.

Joe thinks Pelosi will be back as Speaker of the White House in 2019!. LOL!. It's too early

[TVForever]

So Joe and Mika really are a thing? I've always discounted the rumors because the rumor mill always seems to hint at a relationship anytime a man and woman work together. But I caught all that "Congratulations" nudge,nudge, wink, wink at the top of the show and thought, "Wait, seriously?" 

So, this is out now? They're admitting the relationship?

[TVForever]

Okay,nevermind. I just googled "Joe and Mika". Yep, the rumors were true.

On with the show...

[Maire]

I guess they can live happily ever after? Good luck kids.

Does one of them have to leave the show now?   Most companies don't allow that type of conflict of interest. Know your value Mika!! Marry the boss.

[navelgazer]

Watching that last segment with Senator Blumenthal and the discussion afterwards, I felt like it was deja vu all over again.  They wore a new rut in their lengthy -- interminable -- discussion of HRC and the emails, just like they did back before the election.  (The ghost of Arms Greenspan could almost be seen hovering over the table.)

Did they discuss anything to do with Twitler and the investigation of the Russian hacking/influencing/theft of the 2016 election?  Well, I guess since Comey can't talk about the grand juries and the Russian hackers Comey has grabbed overseas with the FISA warrants he got, there's no news.  Twitler, Flynn, et. al. aren't possibly guilty of treason, nothing to see here, let's move along.

I have to print stuff all the time for my boss. He usually does it but sometimes he doesn't have the patience to take an add'l step or figure out that he is printing something the server can't handle in 1 millisecond. 

I am wondering why all the focus on the show and in those hearings was on the HRC email stuff, when clearly the Russia connection is way more a threat to our national security, IMO.

The trip to the Hotel du Cap in Antibes was ostensibly for Brzezinski’s 50th birthday, which was on May 2, but there was a hidden purpose at play. On the final evening of their trip, the couple ascended the hotel’s palatial walkway from the pool and restaurant to its mansion overlooking the Mediterranean. They were en route to the Bellini bar in its lobby when Scarborough paused and stopped Brzezinski. “Halfway up the hill, he said he needed to sit down,” she told me. “We hadn’t been feeling well, so I thought, Oh, poor guy, he can’t make it up the hill.”

“His glasses were fogging up he was so nervous. I kept thinking he really must not have felt well,” Brzezinski said.

Scarborough then plopped down on one knee with an oval-shaped diamond ring set in platinum that he’d been hiding in his suitcase for days and asked her to marry him. “When I saw him on one knee, I started laughing nervously, almost hysterically,” she said. “And then he asked, and I said, ‘Absolutely.’ ”

 

This is seriously adorable.  Come on, how romantic!

[scrb]

Over/under on how long it last?

Well if they were 20 years younger, maybe 3-4 years.

But now as they see Social Security and Medicare in their near horizons?

Then again, how long can this show last?  Generally TV is not kind to senior citizens as hosts.  So if the show ends and they're with each other all day ...

EDIT:  Hmm, for some reason, I thought they were both near 60, not 50.

Joe could get into mischief with some 25-year old intern or something.

The way Comey worded it yesterday, he made it sound like Huma emailed documents to Anthony and then he printed them out, but even when I heard it live on air, it sounded like a misspeak, because one of the Senators followed up and asked if Anthony saw the content of the emails and I believe Comey said no. How could he print out emails he didn't see? 

I believe it went down how you said, Teddy's mom. Huma used the same laptop Anthony used for his cyber-activities to print out work materials for review. I think the meltdown was inspired by the inarticulate way Comey laid out the events, and people generally not understanding computers, parsed his words without any nuance. 

Did anyone get a look at the ring, today? I can't believe they're engaged this soon. She hasn't been divorced for two years, yet. I wonder if it will change the show.

There is compelling "before and after" photos that indicate surgical work and augmentation, and I admittedly haven't read Mika's books, but I suspect an admission on her part of plastic surgery would have received some media attention at the time she made it and I can find no mention of it after a Google search.

Oh lordy.  They're already starting off with enough strikes against them:  Multiple exes fallen by the wayside; a dead intern; he's an emotional bully (maybe physical, too); she's an emotional doormat; they're from opposing political backgrounds; yada yada yada.   Let's not compound the problems by throwing tRump into the mix.  I hope she - for once - sticks to her 'principles' and insists on keeping their distance.

I also remember the quote Oakville is talking about where Mika admits to having work done. Don't recall if it was in the book or somewhere else. 

There was an article in the NY Times recently about a "plastic surgeon to the stars" who said the trend for actors and media personalities these days is for frequent small tweaks to their looks rather than anything as blatent as a facelift, so the differences are only apparent over time-probably the route Mika took.

Here is the link to Mika & Joe's interview with new Glamor shots! They need a house for their pets including chickens!
