Listen in on the Morning Joe conversation with Willie Geist, Mike Barnicle and legal analyst Danny Cevallos about the federal court ruling that former Trump White House counsel Donald McGahn must comply with a House subpoena in its Trump impeachment inquiry because top presidential advisers cannot ignore congressional demands for information. “In this sea of subpoenas, Danny, that have been issued, many people who have been issued a subpoena have just totally ignored the subpoena. How does that happen?” Hear Cevallos’ response here to what’s next.

"As we speak this morning, the United States Army is providing 24-hour security for this man who did his duty to the country,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle about Vindman, who testified in his Army dress uniform.

Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski, Joe Scarbough, Mike Barnicle and the Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson review Week One of the public hearings in the House impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump and look ahead to this week. “One of the things that set the week apart, I would think, would be Dan Goldman's questioning on the Democratic side—Dan Goldman's questioning, of each and every witness that appeared before the committee because it was professional, it was concise, it was to the point, it was deliberate and explanatory,” says Barnicle about Goldman, the Democrat's lead counsel in the impeachment inquiry.

Listen in on this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough and Mike Barnicle as they discuss Michael Bloomberg apologizing for the New York Police Department's policy of "stop and frisk," a controversial policing method the former mayor and potential 2020 candidate has repeatedly defended as helping to lower the murder rate during his time in office. “The stunning thing about this...was that Mike Bloomberg, who so vociferously backed this policy for years after he left the mayoralty, all of a sudden, boom, he turns around,” says Barnicle.

Listen in as the Morning Joe panel analyzes the status of the Republican Party heading into the 2020 national elections, following the state elections where Democrats won control of all three branches of government in Virginia for the first time in a generation. "If you're a Republican strategist...measuring last night’s results, looking forward to a year from now, your next year's election, it’s a shop-worn phrase, 'the canary in the coal mine.' But if you're a Republican strategist, can you tell your clients ‘got to watch out because the canary is dead?’” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of MSNBC national political correspondent Steve Kornacki. Hear Kornacki’s response here. Only on MSNBC.

Barnicle: The “destruction” of the State Department

[postlink]http://www.mikebarnicle.tv/2019/11/barnicle-destruction-of-state-department.html[/postlink][starttext]
Listen in on this Morning Joe conversation with Mika Brzezinski, Elise Jordan, John Heilemann and Mike Barnicle about the “destruction” of the Department of State in the era of President Donald Trump, after transcripts revealed that former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch told House investigators that she felt shocked and threatened when she learned what President Trump had said about her on a July 25 phone call with Ukraine’s president. “It's hard to believe, but there might be a larger story than the threats to Ambassador Yovanovitch—and it would be the slow destruction of the State Department as evidenced here in the release of these transcripts,” says Barnicle. "We're seeing this play out in real time now with the destruction of a single department, the State Department, that is key to the United States role in the world." Join the conversation here.

POTUS’ Weekend Tweetstorm

[postlink]http://www.mikebarnicle.tv/2019/11/potus-weekend-tweetstorm.html[/postlink][starttext]
Listen in on the Morning Joe conversation with Mika Brzezinski and Mike Barnicle about President Donald Trump’s most recent tweetstorm, 75 tweets over this past weekend alone, during which President Trump suggested Republicans should release their own versions of transcripts of interviews in the House's ongoing impeachment inquiry because Democrats are releasing “manipulated propaganda” as transcripts. “A lot of people know this...it's not a Republican transcript, it's not a Democratic transcript—it's a legitimate transcriber, a stenographer, an independent person. You're sworn that this is an accurate transcript that you're taking, and the idea that the Republicans have a different transcript than the Democrats – absurd,” says Barnicle of the non-partisan position of stenographer.
