Mika & Joe criticized journalists at CBS who got upset with Tony Doukoupil.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/07/business/media/coates-dokoupil-cbs-mornings.html

Mika said when she worked at CBS, they allowed tough interviews. Jane knows her value.

Chris Wallace was promoting his book.

 

Jimmy Carter pointed out Palestine is an apartheid state back when Jon Stewart was in his first run as host of The Daily Show. And he got a ton of shit for it

It is in fact just that. You can defend your country without trying to wipe out another one. And maybe if they stopped stealing land, bulldozing homes, dragging people out of their homes, etc people's opinion of how Bibi is running things would change. When you shoot a child because his soccer ball rolled into an area where soldiers don't think he should be, you're not going to win any prizes. 

Maybe Joe and Mika are defending Tony because he's married to Katy Tur. Joe probably didn't like her that much when she was dating Olbermann.

Joe defended Kamala. The key is to annoy Trump about crowd sizes.

 

Joe is mad at Trump for complaining that CBS edited Kamala's 60 Minutes interview.

Joe said 3 weeks is a lifetime in politics. The future of America is at stake.

Joe interviewed Doug Emhoff. He said Kamala built relationships across the country as Vice President. No one handed her the nomination.

Joe talked to world leaders. They remember that Kamala visited their country one challenged Kamala. She stepped up & made phone calls to Democratic party officials. She has unlimited talk & text on her phone plan.

Trump gaslights her. He spread tabloid stories about Doug's personal life.

Doug doesn't have time to get pissed off over tabloid stories.

Joe didn't wear socks for the interview.

Joe said he was on the cover of NY Times magazine with Kamala about 28 people that could be jailed under a Trump administration.Doug isn't worried about going to jail.

The show opened with Trump ranting about made up lies to spread fear.  Said the Congo is opening up their prisons and flying all their prisoners to the United States.  He said crime is down in Venezuela 75% because they are bussing all their drug kingpins to the United States.
Just crazy, crazy, easily fact-checked horseshit plainly designed to feed the fear of the yokels behind him at the event.

And then it's Joe's turn.  He just ranted and ranted and bloviated and bloviated and left me thinking, "I hate them both."

You know, I have no idea where to begin on this ego-driven mess. Hispanics were open to eating different kinds of food? To quote "Sally" from Harry Met Sally: "It sounds like a compliment but it is actually an insult." Or some such - you get the drift.

"The Future of American is at stake" .... wow, this is the first time I have heard this. 

Joe is completely burned out. Yet still manages to entertain at times.

It's called a left handed compliment. Like "MSNBC gave Joe a big raise which is so great considering how incompetent he is and the fact that no one really likes him". 

This morning they were talking about the Harris camp and Dems worrying about the polls. Joe said he worried about polls "every time" I ran.   What? All two times?? And then you quit "to spend more time with your first family before you left them for your second family?"

Mika agreed with Joe and shuffled her papers on the desk.

Joe said Democrats should stop whining about the polls.

Joe is happy that other polls show Harris ahead by 3 points.

Joe wants Democrats to work hard to get votes.

Yes, Joe did know that, on Nov 5, 2008 (the day after the election).

 Joe's 2008 predictions

In this opinion piece, Joe calls Obama "more Johnny Bravo than John Kennedy" and declares “Please give a warm Chicago welcome to the next President of the United States, Hillary Clinton!"

For someone who works in media, Joe really seems to forget the cameras are on and they record what he says, and the internet is more than happy to fact check his bullshit.

I love these old columns from Joe. It shows how wrong he has been on many issues. Joe would freak out if anyone brought this up to him on the air.

Joe told Democrats to stop bitching & moaning. Harris is doing better than ever.

Joe was excited about Harris interview with Charlamagne. Joe said Harris knows how to behave in a black church. This is high praise.

Long-time viewers of the show know that Joe is an expert at behaving in black churches.Joe mocked Mayor Pete & Amy Klobuchar for being awkward in black churches.

Joe said Harris is copying the Obama strategy of going to Republican areas to get more support and reduce GOP margins.

Mika is off today. Joe is wearing the same clothes.

Joe said Trump's rallies are disastrous with too much music & dancing.

Ed Luce said it would be a nightmare if Trump won & regained control of the Senate.

Trump would turn the USA into Hungary.

Joe called Kamala a political athlete for answering questions on the Charlamagne podcast.

Joe is mad at Trump for not releasing his medical reports.

Kamala will appear on Sharpton's show.

How do the guests manage to not look completely exasperated when they’re asked onto the show to give their insight  but then never allowed to speak—because Joe is too busy giving a soliloquy. I would lose my mind and would honestly have to think twice about accepting an invitation. 

I imagine the director or producer in the booth direct the camera operator to not show their faces.  "Stay on Joe". 

I can barely take 10 minutes of the show when Joe is on. Everything he says he has to repeat three times, trying to sound so eloquent and important with his drivel and bullshit.  If I get up early enough I prefer Way 2 Early. 

Or  I'll wait til late afternoon and watch Nicolle.

Some of the guests look like they can barely contain their exasperation.  I would love to see somebody just get up and walk away from the desk or camera.

I actually tuned in at 7 to see what Joe had to say about the Fox/Harris interview. Apparently he is off? While I hope he isn't ill or has an emergency....this is not the first time that there has been a large (political) story and Joe is not present the next day. Am I seeing "agendas" where there are none? I mean, Joe would have a chance to proselytize his I-am-so-much-better-than-Fox News schtick. 

Is it just me that wonders this? Meeka was a tad shrill. By 7:30 I was out.

I watch on mute and use bluetooth to listen to other things; I'll occasionally look up to read the MSNBC crawls.  My wife joined me yesterday AM and we pondered how much Claire gets paid to appear because she was on Nicolle the night before and that morning on MJ before 8am.  And as we discussed, my wife disengaged, and said, "You think he's going to ask a question?  He's just been talking.  He's been talking this whole time.  Look at her just sit there."  Then we quietly watched as Joe rambled and rambled and rambled and filled the air with his own voice until about 40 seconds later Claire began speaking.  I'd say joe bloviated for about 2.5 minutes - about the length of a commercial break - before even posing a question to Claire for her to reply to.
It was a split screen of patient Claire's head in her kitchen-thing-area and Joe with his sound hole open for almost 3 minutes.
100% there will be a crowd-sourced book on MJ down the line.  6 part HBO miniseries mockumentary.

Joe is off today. Mika returned after recovering from COVID-19. Did Joe get Covid?

Mika was happy that Trump faced tough questions over the Jan 6th riot at Univision.

Willie said Baier was tough on Harris because Trump called him weak.

Baier & Fox News are afraid of Trump.

Baier asked Kamala about the millions of illegal immigrants that Biden allowed into the country.

Biden had a bill offered to Congress to stop immigration in 2021 but the Democratic Congress & Senate rejected the bill.

Baier didn't let Kamala answer the question.

Willie admitted that Kamala had different positions in 2019 vs 2024.

Mika is still outraged at Brett Baier. Mika said he was obsessed with transgender surgeries.

Mika called out Brett rudely for interrupting Kamala. Her husband, Joe would never do that to a guest.

Mika said Fox was being fluffy by having an all-female town hall. There were MAGA supporters in the crowd. Those women will not be invited to Mika's KYV summit unless they pay the full price for their tickets.

Charlie Sykes approved Kamala going to Fox News.

He said Brett is a puppet of Trump.

Donny Deutsh was repulsed by Brett Baier. Donny used to like him.

He said Trump was afraid to have an interview on MSNBC.

Donny said January 6th was not a day of love. He won't talk to Trump supporters and will no longer date them. He regrets his fling with Marla Maples.

Anand's hair is higher than Joe's ! This is against MSNBC policy.

Anand wants to use the term fascism to describe Trump.

Mika said Brett had thrown his journalistic career away by asking tough questions to Kamala for Trump.

Mika ridiculed him for putting up his DC home for sale and planning to move to Palm Beach Florida.

Brett M put his home up for sale and is moving to Florida? Whaat? Didn't The Twins sell their house (in NY or Conn) and move to Florida? Is Palm Beach richer than Jupiter? More prestigious?

Brett's home in DC is up for sale for $28.5M. I saw it on Facebook. It was worth more than Mika and Joe's homes combined when they left the Northeast.  Jupiter is similar to Palm Beach. Brett will be closer to Trump. However, Mika & Joe's home is in a gated community which restricts access to poorer friends & family of Joe.

This will come as a huge shock to everyone, but Mika wrote a column published on the MSNBC web site.  It's about how Kamala Harris celebrated her 60th birthday yesterday and she's so youthful and 60 isn't old and I'm sure KYV got worked in there somewhere. I'm not sure where, as I stopped reading as soon as I came to the line "I am 57 and 60 is just around the corner and, you folks didn't really think this was about VP Harris, did you?  This is about me. And how you women are not valued unless you do what I tell you and empty your 401K to attend my 50 over 50 scams" .

Yes Mika anyone with two eyes and a brain can tell that Kamala Harris is youthful and energetic and brilliant and tough. Why I don't think once I've heard her cry talking or getting into a embarrassing argument with her husband on live television. 

So how about you sit this one out and let the real women who have made it without getting cozy with their boss in order to "appear" successful handle it.

Also, if age doesn't matter, why do you keep bringing it up?

Joe is back from LA. He is wearing a suit & tie to show gravitas.

Senator Claire only has a bit of cake left after celebrating the Chiefs victory yesterday.

Joe is outraged at Trump for calling the enemies are within.

Joe said Pelosi & Schiff are not enemies.

Joe took off his glasses to read his phone. This is serious for Joe.

Mika started writing notes on a yellow legal pad. She has a list of chores for Joe to do after the show.

 

Joe said no politician has ever called his opponent the enemy within.

Meacham got a haircut. He said history won't be kind to Trump.
