Don’t miss this Morning Joe conversation among veteran columnist Mike Barnicle, founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America Paul Rieckhoff, and comedian/activist Jon Stewart about GOP efforts to thwart health care for veterans after Senate Republicans blocked a bill meant to aid veterans exposed to toxic burn pits just weeks after the military burn pits bill, or PACT Act, initially passed the 100-member Senate with the support of 34 Republicans and all 50 Democrats. “This is pure political hypocrisy,” says Barnicle. “How do we go about singling out even more so the individuals like Josh Hawley, like Ted Cruz, who go and stand up in their home states at rallies and say we have to support our veterans—and do this as if they're invisible?” Hear Rieckhoff’s answer and plea for citizens to appeal to U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) to help veterans.

Morning Joe's Jonathan Lemire and Mike Barnicle dig into the latest news that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) have struck a long-awaited deal on legislation that aims to reform the tax code, fight climate change and cut health-care costs, which has caused House Republican leadership to urge members of its conference to vote against a bill to bolster the domestic chip manufacturing industry and fund scientific research, a reversal from its earlier position that came hours after the two Senate Democrats struck the deal on a multibillion-dollar reconciliation package. Viewers at home: “You’ve got to be thinking, what is going on with government that they can’t do something that’s good for America because they’re angry about the politics of it. It’s a crazy, crazy city, Washington D.C.,” says Barnicle. Watch the discussion here

"I happened to watch Donald Trump's performance in front of that crowd in Washington, D.C, and not for the first time I came to the conclusion that it's not necessarily ideology that has people enraptured to Donald Trump. So, my question to you is, in the larger sense the former Republican Party, if it's not ideology what enthralls them to the extent that they lack the courage to stand up against someone who is literally trying to overthrow the existing American government?” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of Washington Post opinion columnist Jennifer Rubin during a Morning Joe conversation that followed former President Trump delivering a speech in his first return to Washington since leaving office. Listen to Rubin’s response here.

And yet when you ask them, ‘yeah, but how are you doing personally,’ they say, ‘well, personally, I'm doing okay.’ How do you explain the economy, that kind of an economy?,” asks Morning Joe contributor Mike Barnicle of The Economist editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes, who joins the panel to discuss the “confusing" state of the U.S. economy and what might happen next.
