"It is a fact. I had a long conversation with someone who is very knowledgeable with what ISIS is doing overseas video-wise.

The Morning Joe panel continues to weigh in on the rising support for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his positions, especially considering his latest controversial anti-Muslim remarks. “We get continued written and rhetorical descriptions on TV and in newspapers about the Trump constituency, and almost always they’re labeled as, you know, blue-collar, Southern guys driving pickup trucks, shotguns in the back. It’s far wider and broader than that. We’ve had 15 years of people living with the various grievances in this country (fighting wars, broken economy, etc.)... and they can’t find anyone to go to who’ll say ‘go **** yourself’. And Trump is doing that for them,” says Mike of Trump’s supporters, as a new BloombergPolitics survey reveals that 65 percent of Republicans support Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims.

So, given current economic conditions in this country and the vast oil resources that the world is now seeing, would you be in favor of a one cent hike in the federal gas tax—something that hasn’t been raised since 1994—dedicated to fighting the ‘war on terror'?,” asks Mike.

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle outlines the fiasco and backlash of the likely cover-up in the Chicago Police Department concerning the Laquan McDonald shooting video. “This story is going to grow and grow and grow—and Mayor Rahm Emanuel is going to be imperiled by this story, if he’s not imperiled right now. You’ve got the $5-million settlement, the failure of the Chicago news media to cover this story, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan calling for an independent investigation, and lastly, but most importantly, you’ve got the tape. In any professional police department, that tape has got to have been witnessed, watched, looked at, commented upon within 12 hours of that shooting. If not, you need a whole new homicide unit, a whole new internal affairs unit, a whole new police hierarchy…,” says Mike of the unfolding situation over the October 2014 shooting death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald by police officer Jason Van Dyke.

As presidential candidate Donald Trump’s popularity continues to cause the GOP establishment to panic, Morning Joe’s Mike Barnicle highlights a key factor behind Trump’s ongoing appeal. “If you go to his rallies, Donald Trump is of the moment… he’s not long-range, he’s not telling people where we are going as a country. And he self-validates his crowds. He speaks to the anger, anxiety, and fear in the country,” says Mike of Trump’s campaigning tactics. Listen in on the conversation here. Only on MSNBC.

“Donald Trump knows—instinctively—that you can win New Hampshire with 24 percent… but at what point do voters in state after state think to themselves before they cast their ballot: ‘Do I really want to listen to Donald Trump every day for the next four years?,’” says Morning Joe’s Mike Barnicle of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign. Watch the conversation, broadcast on MSNBC from Concord, New Hampshire, on Trump’s campaign odds and growing divisions within the Republican party here.
