"I'd buy that," says Mike Barnicle of the general premise that ISIS terrorists are in some way using Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's statements in their recruiting strategy. "It is a fact. I had a long conversation with someone who is very knowledgeable with what ISIS is doing overseas video-wise. He was comparing the ISIS videos to our attempts to counteract ISIS, which are pathetic. We're sending out high school videos against very professional videos that could have been done by Steven Soderbergh.” Watch the Morning Joe discussion here on the back and forth between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton over her claims that Trump's speeches are recruiting tools for ISIS.

"You use the phrase 'we have to take our country back.' I'm wondering…. Is there an element within your party that you think you have to take your party back from them—in the sense that they have such a reliance on the language of fear, estrangement, preventing Muslims from coming to America-- things that are sort of out of the mainstream? Do you feel you can use common sense language and still win the nomination of your party?,” asks Mike of Fiorina. Watch the MSNBC conversation here.

The Morning Joe panel continues to weigh in on the rising support for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his positions, especially considering his latest controversial anti-Muslim remarks. “We get continued written and rhetorical descriptions on TV and in newspapers about the Trump constituency, and almost always they’re labeled as, you know, blue-collar, Southern guys driving pickup trucks, shotguns in the back. It’s far wider and broader than that. We’ve had 15 years of people living with the various grievances in this country (fighting wars, broken economy, etc.)... and they can’t find anyone to go to who’ll say ‘go **** yourself’. And Trump is doing that for them,” says Mike of Trump’s supporters, as a new BloombergPolitics survey reveals that 65 percent of Republicans support Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims.

“The language of fear is nearly universal in politics… and we have people running for President using the language of fear. We’ve been at war for 15 years, so you can understand people’s fear—but it also is a prime opportunity for the language of reason to address this fear.

On Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle engages Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee on whether or not he would raise the gas tax to help fight terrorism. “The consensus among people actually fighting the 'war on terror' on a daily basis is that it’s going to be a generational war—it’s going to go on for quite some period of time. So, given current economic conditions in this country and the vast oil resources that the world is now seeing, would you be in favor of a one cent hike in the federal gas tax—something that hasn’t been raised since 1994—dedicated to fighting the ‘war on terror'?,” asks Mike.

“The truly surprising thing is the support that’s been engendered—not majority support yet—here in this country for the injection of wholesale numbers of American troops into a generations-long, historical, religious, tribal warfare.

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle outlines the fiasco and backlash of the likely cover-up in the Chicago Police Department concerning the Laquan McDonald shooting video. “This story is going to grow and grow and grow—and Mayor Rahm Emanuel is going to be imperiled by this story, if he’s not imperiled right now. You’ve got the $5-million settlement, the failure of the Chicago news media to cover this story, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan calling for an independent investigation, and lastly, but most importantly, you’ve got the tape. In any professional police department, that tape has got to have been witnessed, watched, looked at, commented upon within 12 hours of that shooting. If not, you need a whole new homicide unit, a whole new internal affairs unit, a whole new police hierarchy…,” says Mike of the unfolding situation over the October 2014 shooting death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald by police officer Jason Van Dyke. Hear more on the cover-up allegations and repercussions here.

As presidential candidate Donald Trump’s popularity continues to cause the GOP establishment to panic, Morning Joe’s Mike Barnicle highlights a key factor behind Trump’s ongoing appeal. “If you go to his rallies, Donald Trump is of the moment… he’s not long-range, he’s not telling people where we are going as a country. And he self-validates his crowds. He speaks to the anger, anxiety, and fear in the country,” says Mike of Trump’s campaigning tactics. Listen in on the conversation here. Only on MSNBC.

Broadcasting live from Wichita State University, Morning Joe’s Mike Barnicle sums up the numbers behind the latest NBC News/WSJ poll, which shows Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson leading Donald Trump with 29 percent to 23 percent, respectively. “Fifty-two percent of the Republican electorate polled are either with Trump or Carson and you have to believe that the rest of the numbers are tremendously fluid around several different candidates. I think Carson’s numbers will move, but Trump’s 23 percent won’t move,” Mike predicts. Watch the discussion here and learn Mike’s reasoning for why Trump’s current level of support will likely hold.

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, the panel discusses Mike Barnicle’s latest column for The Daily Beast, which addresses the ongoing disconnect between American politicians and the men and women who give their lives for our failed policies, such as Sgt. Joshua Wheeler. “By the time Trey Gowdy and Hillary Clinton finished their opening remarks at Thursday’s congressional inquiry on Benghazi, Joshua Wheeler was dead in Iraq half a world away from Washington where policy is set that sends men just like him to the fight. Sgt. Wheeler was a 39-year-old, highly decorated Army veteran of 14 deployments to the long wars waged in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Across the weekend, both sides involved in Thursday’s Benghazi hearings spun their stories hoping for political advantage. On Saturday, largely unnoticed, Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeler’s body was returned to the United States of America, his home, land of his birth,” writes Mike. Listen to the conversation here and read the full column at http://thebea.st/1WdWT1E.

“Eleven hours—it was an amazing performance. The questioning was largely hostile, angry, and disrespectful toward her, the office, and the casualties of Benghazi that day. It was a total collapse of the committee system and the Congress of the United States.

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle assesses the ongoing support for leading Republican presidential candidates Dr. Ben Carson and Donald Trump: “Some of the things Dr. Ben Carson has said verges on crazy talk and he is right up there in the polls—he’s not going away.

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, in conversation with New York Daily News’ Mike Lupica, Mike Barnicle discusses a narrative influencing the current presidential campaign cycle. “We have a tendency as people in the media to really overthink things and overexpress ourselves… Seven years ago, the economy collapsed and a whole large group of Americans became ‘politically homeless’ because the underpinnings of their ideologies and political loyalties deserted them as they were losing their homes, jobs, and wages. They are politically homeless, thus the attraction of Donald Trump and people like him,” says Mike. Watch the conversation here.
