Watch this Morning Joe discussion between veteran columnist Mike Barnicle and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a 2024 GOP presidential candidate, about how the Republican Party could move away from former President Donald Trump as polls continue to show him maintaining a strong lead in the GOP primary despite facing multiple indictments. “You've tried to make the case, and you're trying to make the case, that you are the guy who can make the case against Joe Biden….How does what's left of your political party—the remnants of the Republican Party—how do they, how do you, make the case against Joe Biden, when last week, six of the eight candidates for president of the United States standing alongside you on the stage, indicated that they would vote for Trump, even if he were a convicted felon? How do you convince the country that your party is still sane?,” asks Barnicle. Hear Christie’s answer here.

"This country has suffered great damage—none more so than the injection into the political bloodstream that the election of 2020 was fixed, was rigged,” said veteran columnist Mike Barnicle in this Morning Joe conversation with host Mika Brzezinski following the first 2024 Republican primary debate that took place in Milwaukee, which didn’t feature the current frontrunner, former President Donald Trump, who decided to skip the event. "How do you begin a debate with any of the candidates, Republican or Democrat, without asking them the ‘yes' or ‘no’ question: 'Was Joseph R. Biden legitimately elected president of the United States, yes or no?' That way, we know where you're going to go on continuing this poison that is in the political culture today, and no one asked that.” Watch their review of what Barnicle called “a revealing and depressing performance."

Gideon Meir, the grandson of former Israeli prime minister Golda Meir, and director Guy Nattiv, join Morning Joe’s Mike Barnicle to talk about their new film "Golda,” a biopic of the country's first—and only—female leader. The film focuses on the intensely dramatic and high-stakes responsibilities and decisions that Golda Meir, also known as the “Iron Lady of Israel,” faced during the Yom Kippur War. “She's a portrait of incredible strength in this film, and her nature comes across in this film, especially with regard to Moshe Dayan, an iconic Israeli hero who takes kind of a reputational hit in this movie, and yet she nurtures him through this crisis on a day-to-day basis,” says Barnicle. Learn more about the film, the casting of Mirren and her long-time connection to Israel.

"“Joyce, in looking at the stipulations laid down in Georgia against the former president, quite a few are similar to stipulations that a court would issue to John Gotti, including the last one, which is ‘the above shall include, but are not limited to, posts on social media or reposts of posts made by another individual on social media’ having to do with intimidation. So, let me ask you: Given the former president's nature, it seems to many people he will be unable to help himself or prevent himself from crossing the line here. What would be the next step potentially by the Georgia district attorney if he does so?” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of MSNBC legal analyst Joyce Vance during this Morning Joe conversation about a Fulton County judge having set former President Donald Trump's bond at $200,000 in District Attorney Fani Willis' election interference case, as the bond agreement includes a "no direct or indirect threat" clause against codefendants or witnesses. Listen to Vance’s response here.

“The cult of Trumpism is now verbal,” said veteran columnist Mike Barnicle during this Morning Joe conversation about former President Donald Trump, who has said he will surrender to authorities in Georgia to face accusations of illegally scheming to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state. "It's passed on to people who come up to you and ask the ever-present question, you know, ‘how can people vote for this man? Who are these people?’ And you tell them, ‘I’ll tell you who they are: They're your neighbors, they’re people you know, they're people you see each and every day. That's who they are.’ But he’s there. He's in our minds; he’s in our bloodstream. It is a sickness. It’s a disease that America is carrying – Trumpitis.” Watch more of the conversation here.

“We have witnessed now for years, and years, and years out on the stump, the greatest political showman of our time, maybe of any time, Donald J. Trump. He's also a deeply dangerous national security threat. That's who he is. We've failed to confront that reality. We've failed to ask people, like General Kelly, General Mattis, Mitch McConnell, a host of Republican: Step up to the plate, step up to the plate….This is deeply depressing at a certain level, that not a single legitimate Republican can stand up and confront this deeply dangerous narcissist who thinks it's great to get out every day and be so negative about this country. If you listen to him on the stump, if you listen to his speeches, his 90-minute speeches, they are deeply, deeply divisive, in addition to being horribly negative about the immediate future of this country,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle during this Morning Joe conversation with Willie Geist, Jonathan Lemire, Chris Matthews and Lanhee Chen as they discuss and analyze and the state of America and the 2024 presidential race following a recent York Times/Siena College poll that found President Biden is on stronger footing than he was a year ago—but he is neck-and-neck in a possible rematch with former President Donald Trump.
