Joe's last appearance on the show was at 7:30 am. He ignored important guests including a federal judge who had a child that was murdered outside their home.

I thought the judge was courageous and compelling. Her story is heartbreaking. But I was annoyed by Mika then trying to link her tragedy to Facebook, because I believe the man who murdered her son had been a disgruntled litigant in her courtroom, not some random radical (although he was radical - it's just that there was more of a connection than Mika acknowledged).

I know that not everyone knows what a destination the French Laundry is, but I expect national news (?) hosts to be aware of its prestige.  But Mika is squinting at the camera trying to say “Frennnnch Laun——dry?”  while Joe wonders like a boor about le mac-n-cheese it might serve. And no, it is not in S.F. 

Best joke I heard yesterday was “The French Laundry is more expensive than ever—$350 per person and your career.”

Mika said that she doesn't want to see Joe's family & friends again that support Trump.

Joe said go to break Sweetie! Mika said the message from the CDC was "Don't gather & Don't Talk & Don't have a great time!.

Mika crowed about Joe being on the NY Times Best Selling List. Joe said he wanted to see his friends.

Just after this, there was a commercial about a John Grisham NY Times Best Seller Book.

This was very strange.

I understood them picking up coffee on the way to 30 Rock, or interns running out to get it.  But someone has to go pick it up and return home when they are broadcasting from home.  Wonder if people recognize them at the store.

Geez.🙁

It’s possible that they have a stash of cups at home and a product placement deal that gives them pounds of beans.  I always get extra holiday cups.

Or, going to Starbucks might be their version of the French Laundry—just something you have to do.

It's true that Lori was working for Joe in his district office. It was a tragedy that she died. However, Joe should not have gone on Don Imus and joked about killing her.

Mika didn't listen carefully to Imus. Imus said that Joe told the joke during the commercial break about having sex with the intern & then killing her.

Did Imus make up what Joe said during the commercial break ?

If so, Joe should have immediately denounced Imus & told him that it was no laughing matter.

Joe complained about Trump bragging that he won 12% of Black vote & 32% of the Hispanic vote.

Joe complained about Republican doing very poorly in the popular vote.

Joe wants the Republicans to reach out to minority voters.

Joe thought that demographic changes would eventually make Arizona & Georgia blue. He thinks Texas will flip in 2024.

It is remarkable that Morning Joe got 1,389,000 viewers on Tuesday. It did beat Fox & Friends.

yeah but last week was like 1.5 million... all they have to do is put in some minimal effort, and instead they spend all their energy either trolling the internetz or trying to impress the blue checkmark people.

Maybe think about your real human viewers out there, and how you can brighten their lives...? like who do they think are watching tee-vee at 6 am (3 am on the west coast..)?  it's basically pensioners, students pulling all-nighters, frontline workers, parents of infants, people finishing overnight shifts, alcoholics, insomniacs, misfits... i guess i just wish they would think of all of us with *compassion* right now, and how they can encourage and inspire us, rather than yelling at us and doing performance theater that's not for us, but for their blue checkmark friends.

I saw maybe the first 20 minutes or so but I don’t think Meeka did badly in that segment. Yes, Hell has frozen. She seemed serious in not-the-usual way by actually holding her own re people and “friends and family” being idiots. (My word there). Joe laughing was the icing on the cake; and it seemed that they were comfortable with each other in an Old Married Way. I didn’t see the rest of show; may have had to eat my words. Plus I had not had my tea yet.

It seems like Fox and Friends ratings are way down. I recall from the fairly recent past that the 6am hour fox FaF had a similar number of viewers to MJ, and the 7 and 8am hours were up in the 2 million range (I’m not sure why FaF is split into 3 hours, and MJ has all 3 hours grouped together). It seems like FaF has lost close to a million viewers in a fairly short time. Have they all moved to Newsmax and OAN?

I think it is strange that the ratings for Morning Joe are not broken down on a hourly basis.

I guess they forgot about their long Maine getaway this summer. And the trip to the Vineyard. The one where Joe was caught not wearing a mask with Barnicle. For her to call others arrogant is a wee bit sanctimonious. She got to have the giant family and hangers-on vacation while the rest of us were urged not to gather or travel. She got her fun in so she has no problem standing in judgement now. Mika, your arrogance is showing.

Fox is way down as a network.  A lot of viewers were unhappy with the coverage on election night and have consequently switched to Newsmax.  The daytime ratings are down by 32 percent.

The news is less exciting after an election and there are just not as many "must see" moments, unless you count Joe's interviews about President Truman.

Mika & Joe are back. Joe is wearing a blazer, so it is a serious news day.

Joe is complaining about only 27 Republicans publicly declaring that Biden will be the next President.

Kasie said behind the scenes, Republicans admit to her that Biden is the President Elect.

It was surprising  to see Kasie on set after she was harshly criticized on twitter for applauding Joe Biden's refusal to answer questions.

Mika & Joe usually take a day off for family reasons whenever they say something controversial.

Joe said his family was very worried about radicals taking over America in the 1960's.

Joe is now reading about Asbury in 1967.

Joe compares Trump supporters to radicals in the 1960's.

Mika and Joe are playing clips of the president's rally in Valdosta, Georgia. 

Mika's sitting there with crossed arms scowling at the camera.  Joe whined about rich guys who think they are victims.  Look in the mirror when you do that Joe.

Joe railed against whiny rich guys who went to Harvard and Yale.

Joe and Mika act depressed and miserable.  Shouldn't they be happy with their friend coming to the WH?  I find it weird that they are unhappy as ever, even when they win.

the Dr Zeke's segment was really interesting re: the distribution issues - I don't think there's been enough discussion around the social implications of gradual vaccinations  - i doubt people who have been vaccinated will agree to continue masking etc while waiting for everyone else. And are there gonna be certificates etc, and won't that create a two-tiered society...ooof.

Edward Luce and Joe talked about "The Crown."  Joe thinks that the scenes with the queen lecturing Margaret Thatcher are fiction.  Joe said that the queen is not involved in policy making.  Also Joe thinks they portrayed Prince Charles' sex life inaccurately.  

 I've never seen The Crown but isn't the whole show fiction based loosely on fact?

Greg Bluestein & Kurt Bardella joined the show. He commented on the Georgia Senate Debate. Warnock will not denounce packing the Supreme Court. Senator Loeffler will not comment on Trump losing the election.

Kasie was happy that Pence showed up to swear in Mark Kelly a Senator from Arizona.

Kasie quietly admitted that Perdue got more votes than Trump.

No one wants to anger Trump in Georgia. He is still popular in Georgia. Loeffler doesn't want to upset any potential Republican voters.

Kurt said Trump will do more harm than good. He should stop attacking the Republican Governor.

Kurt admitted that it will be an uphill climb for Democrats to win both seats.

Robert Costa said McConnell & Biden are the new power nexus in Washington. They have a long track record of working together. McConnell is working on a new stimulus package.

Leibovich & Costa are interesting guests. I am curious about his Vancouver Canucks banner on his shelf. That is very old.

Joe thanked Robert Costa for letting him promote his book on Washington Week. Mika said it was great! Mika was not allowed on camera for that interview.

Luce said his dad did not like the Crown because it was made up drama.

Luce admitted that it is not a documentary drama. He said that the Queen was portrayed as being mean to Diana & Margaret Thatcher.

He said that Thatcher was portrayed sympathetically & gently in Season 4. His father would disagree.

Joe said the Queen does not lecture PM's on policy.

Luce said that it was true about the Queen having a falling out with Thatcher on sanctions against South Africa but the rest of it was made up.

Britain is stumbling towards Brexit. Boris wants to work with Biden & is afraid of a hard Brexit. There is an argument over fishing rights.

Sharpton is hosting the Triumph awards. Joe has been nominated as an inspiring political singer for his song about George Floyd.
