“The coverage of the end of the Biden presidency, is really interesting to me. It’s like going to a baseball game and you watch the game, you drive home, and you say, ‘well that was a good game.’ You get home and you realize, ‘boy that was a great game.’ And what's happened here in the coverage of the end of the Biden presidency is it's dominated by his age. Every story that's written describes his age, his shuffle, his stutters, he didn't say anything. And age takes precedence over the accomplishments of the Biden administration. They certainly are historic, and they certainly are a huge positive for American paychecks,” says Mike Barnicle during this Morning Joe conversation with Willie Geist, Mika Brzezinski, Jonathan Lemire and Al Sharpton as they discuss the Democratic Party’s road forward after losing in the 2024 election and the final stage of President Joe Biden’s term in the White House.

Tune in for this Morning Joe conversation between veteran columnist Mike Barnicle and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) about how House Democrats will approach the incoming Trump Administration as the Republican Party will enter the 119th Congress with a razor-thin majority in the House. “It sounds as if every vote is going to be like a buzzer-beater at the end of a basketball game….What’s the reality on the Democratic side of the aisle? What are your issues that you worry about?” Hear Jeffries’ response here on MSNBC.

"I went to grammar school with kids—who came to the same grammar school classroom I sat in—who were wearing braces and sticks to carry them through the day, to walk. They had polio. The idea that we're going to eliminate the Salk vaccine—and take a look at vaccines that all infants and children get to prevent measles and other really radical diseases that could cause harm to them—the idea that we're talking about eliminating them based upon the quackery of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—and it is quackery. And he is a very smart guy and he ought to know better, but he clearly doesn't know better. But the idea that we're still seriously talking about eliminating vaccines from any children is almost beyond belief,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle during this Morning Joe conversation with Jonathan Lemire following a New York Times report that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s lawyer Aaron Siri has petitioned the government to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine, which for decades has protected millions of people from a virus that can cause paralysis or death.

“Competence is the issue. Look at the Middle East…Is Syria on the verge of becoming a failed state or is it a failed state already? The German government is in a state of near collapse. The French legislature has been disbanded and they are going to have another election probably this spring. Ukraine – what's going to happen with Ukraine? All of this depends on partially, at least two of the nominees, Tulsi Gabbard and Pete Hegseth, doing their jobs competently. They can’t do their jobs competently because they are not fully qualified for those jobs, and yet, they are nominated for those jobs. So, it's going to be up to the Senate – the United States Senate – to stand up, advise, consent and then vote. And we are going to out which senators have the courage to do absolutely the right thing in defense of the United States of America," says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle about the Senate amid Trump’s cabinet nominations during this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Katty Kay as they discuss President-elect Donald Trump’s controversial cabinet nominees, including Tulsi Gabbard as intelligence chief and Pete Hegseth as Defense secretary, who are currently in Washington D.C. meeting with senators amid their confirmation push.

With the holidays upon us, watch this Morning Joe conversation between veteran columnist Mike Barnicle and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg about consumer protections for delayed and canceled flights. "Commercial air travel in America for the average flying customer—people like me—is a nightmare,” says Barnicle. "What can we do about the fact that when an airline is delaying a flight incomprehensibly long—it’s going to be delayed for three hours or whatever—what can we do about getting a cash payment back for the ticket?” Hear Buttigieg’s answer here on MSNBC.
