Watch this Morning Joe conversation between Joe Scarborough and Mike Barnicle as they discuss Peter Baker’s New York Times article, “Trump Sees the U.S. as a ‘Disaster.’ The Numbers Tell a Different Story,” which examines how President Joe Biden is bequeathing President-elect Donald Trump a nation that by many metrics is in good shape, even if voters remain skeptical. "Facts do matter and they matter to everyone’s life in America,” says Barnicle. "Joe Biden can stand on his legislative record. The Republicans have that record now. They are standing on it in terms of the economy. The strongest economy in the world. If it slips, if it slips, it's on them,” says Barnicle about President-elect Trump and the GOP.

Listen in on this Morning Joe conversation with Jonathan Lemire and Mike Barnicle as they discuss a New York Times op-ed that argues against Senate Republicans suggesting the terrorist attack in New Orleans has increased the urgency to approve Donald Trump’s choices for top national security positions. “Their proposed picks have nothing to do with solving what happened in New Orleans….It has to do with the mind of the killer….It has to do with tracking whatever incident set him off on the path that brought him to Bourbon Street the other night….This crime builds up in the mind, the human mind. What triggered it? What happened to this man? When did it happen? Did it have to do with ISIS? Did it have to do with his travels? Did it have to do with his family? All of those things are separate and apart from whoever is appointed to be the next attorney general or the next national intelligence person in the White House or the next FBI director. All of those things are separate and apart from it. It’s an age-old situation. It requires expertise. It requires time and it requires patience,” says Barnicle about the terror attack in New Orleans where at least fourteen people were killed and dozens injured when the man plowed into a crowd on Bourbon Street in a pickup truck.

"America is about the future. It’s not about the past. It’s about the future. (Democrats) have to address the future in solid, sensible ways that are meaningful—from the price of gas, to the price of eggs, to the price of a college education. Talk about the things that impact people’s lives—that’s it,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle during a Morning Joe discussion about the future of the Democratic Party with Joe Scarborough, Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Democratic strategist James Carville and Jonathan Lemire. Watch the whole conversation here.
