Morning Joe's Willie Geist and Mike Barnicle remember the Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman, who was found dead alongside his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, and their dog in their Santa Fe home. “He was quite a guy. He was a legitimately ordinary human being when you’d meet him. I had the good fortune of meeting him several times and went to see him in Santa Fe about 5 or 6 years ago, and he was the same then as he was when I first met him in 1973 on the set of “A Bridge Too Far” in Nijmegen, Holland, when he was the star of that cast. He had a lot of fun making that movie. We won’t go into it now. But he was really good guy,” says Barnicle about Hackman. Join the conversation here.

Tune in on this Morning Joe segment as Mika Brzezinski and Mike Barnicle discuss House Republicans becoming weary of in-person town hall meetings after multiple lawmakers have faced hometown crowds irritated about the Trump Administration’s push to slash government programs, services, funding and staffing. “This is a disaster in the making for the Republican Party; but, worse than that, Mika, it's a disaster for the United States of America,” says Barnicle after House Republicans approved a budget framework for President Donald Trump’s sweeping domestic policy agenda, which calls for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts over the next decade.

In case you missed it: Watch this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough, Mike Barnicle and Alexander Vindman, a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, about Vindman’s new book “The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself About Russia and Betrayed Ukraine,” which provides an analysis of how Western indecision and apathy made possible the return of brutal Russian expansionism with potentially catastrophic consequences. “Putin is winning,” he says, but we need to focus on “what really matters”—our relationships and democracy.

"There’s a lot of people who are viewing this peripherally everyday. People are busy. They have their own jobs, their own lives, getting the kids ready for school. But one of the things that's going on is: They're confusing motion with achievement. So, this flooding the zone, people think, ‘oh, boy, he's really working hard at it. Trump is really working hard at it.’ But Mitch, what happens when inevitably the Medicare stuff doesn't show up for people, the Social Security checks are short, the cost of living index? And that is bound to happen, it seems,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle to Mitch Landrieu, co-chair of the liberal group American Bridge, as the Morning Joe panel discusses the White House’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the federal cost-cutting initiative championed by Elon Musk, after a federal judge declined to stop DOGE from accessing data systems at seven federal agencies and firing or putting their employees on leave. Listen to Landrieu’s response here. Only on MSNBC.

Watch this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough, Pablo Torre and Mike Barnicle as they discuss the Philadelphia Eagles having dominated the Kansas City Chiefs with a masterful defensive effort to win Super Bowl LIX. “Patrick Mahomes’ offensive line could not protect him. They could not keep people away from him. He was getting crushed from two minutes into that game. He was running for his life….If you do a forensic autopsy on the Chiefs’ season, they had a very good record; but it was a hard-earned record. They won a lot of games in the last minute because of Patrick Mahomes, and the big difference again, we reflect back on it, we know what happened: They could not protect Patrick Mahomes yesterday, and they were going to lose, and they did,” says Barnicle about the Chiefs superstar quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.
