While the Morning Joe panel talks about Attorney General Jeff Sessions' hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, particularly Sessions’ heated exchange with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) over requests for a second special counsel to investigate former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, veteran columnist Mike Barnicle explains: “This is an attempt, a concerted attempt, by the President of the United States and allies within the House of Representatives, clearly Jim Jordan – the guy without a coat from Ohio – to turn the Justice Department into just a political property of the President, to inflict politic into the Justice Department, which would affect the morale of the Justice Department.” Listen to more of the discussion here.

While the Morning Joe panel discusses the multiple sexual molestation allegations against Roy Moore, the Republican nominee in Alabama for a Senate seat, and Alabama Republicans defending Moore, who is accused of engaging in sexual activity with teenagers decades ago, senior contributor Mike Barnicle says: "There’s obviously a larger issue here….You can almost hear the nuts and bolts of the under structure of our culture loosening as everything becomes more permissible, everything becomes more public, and the longer it's public, it becomes in an odd way sort of acceptable.” Listen to more of the discussion here.

During the Morning Joe conversation about the impact on Republicans following the Democratic Party’s big wins in state elections across the country, veteran columnist Mike Barnicle adds: "People pay attention in this country. And people pay attention to things like the proposed tax bill -- they call it tax reform. No, it's tax revenge if you look at that bill, if you look at the elements of that bill. So people are sitting out there in the suburbs, in the cities, and they’re thinking, ‘Wait a minute, state and local tax — we’re not going to be able to put that on our tax returns? High medical costs -- that’s going to be taken and eliminated. Student interest loans are going to be eliminated.' That's the problem the Republicans have -- the problem they’re living with. That’s the problem that’s going to drown them.” Listen to more of the discussion here with Joe Scarborough and Harold Ford Jr.

“Senator, we've been talking about gun control and gun owners for eons of time and nothing much ever happens. But when you buy an automobile and put the car on the road you have to prove that you have insurance on that automobile. What about a federal statute applying the insurance idea to gun ownership? That if you buy a gun – a shotgun, a handgun, no matter what kind of gun you’re buying – you have to insure it in a fairly substantial insurance cost. Do you think that might deter at least the idea of purchasing guns?” asks Morning Joe veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) during a conversation about gun control in America, following the church massacre in Sutherland, Texas, where gunman Devin Kelley shot and killed more than two dozen people. Hear what Durbin has to say on the issue.

“Donna…why is it that you and several other people, who I respect greatly, could not get to the Clinton campaign two, three weeks out before the election with the fact that they were incompetent, that they were depending on algorithms rather than common sense, that they had no sense of scheduling going to industrial states like Wisconsin and Ohio. Why is it that so many people either were mute, reluctant or unable to crash into that inner circle and tell them ‘you're going to lose the election?’” asks Morning Joe senior contributor Mike Barnicle of former Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile during a conversation about her new book "Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns That Put Donald Trump in the White House” that details the shortcomings of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Listen to Brazile’s response here.

Morning Joe veteran columnist Mike Barnicle talks with Congressman Joaquin Castro (D-TX) about the future of gun control, following this week's church massacre in Sutherland, Texas where gunman Devin Kelley, who escaped a mental health facility before the Air Force could try him on charges that he beat his wife and baby stepson back in 2012, shot and killed more than two dozen people. And two years ago in Newtown, Connecticut, children were slaughtered in their classrooms. “And life goes on for the rest of us. What’s on your mind about this? Where do we go from here?” asks Barnicle. Listen to Rep. Castro’s response here.

While the Morning Joe panel talks about the Democratic Party trouncing the Republican Party in state elections across the country, gaining key state legislative seats, two governorships and full control of the state governments of New Jersey and Washington, senior contributor Mike Barnicle explains: “The results coast to coast, actually, were like a flare in the night for the Democratic party: ‘Follow the light, follow the light. Turn out, turn out, turn out.’ The Democratic Party now sees the path to perhaps hopeful results for that party next year. Even Trump acolytes, I think, fear what he’s doing to the presidency. And I think that resulted in a big, big night for the Democratic Party.” Listen to more of the conversation here with Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.
