“To use a phrase: Yesterday really was a day to cry for the country. This great republic that means so much to so many around the world. To see the president of the United States, Mr. Trump, shrink – shrink – next to Vladimir Putin, to drop his oath of office, to drop his duty on a world stage — to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. And then to have so many here in this country, on TV programs like this one say, ‘what a surprise.’ No, this was not a surprise. This was Mr. Trump in full view of the world. This is who he is: ignorant, narcissistic, all involved with himself. His priority is himself, not the country, not the presidency. He is unaware of history. He was unaware certainly yesterday of anything that this republic has stood for through the ages. The only thing he was aware of, clearly, was that he was in Putin’s pocket,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle as the Morning Joe panel talks about the fallout from President Donald Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland, the day after the gathering between the two leaders, where President Trump sided with President Putin over US intelligence on the topic of Russian interfered in the 2016 presidential election.

As the Morning Joe comments on the arrivals of President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin for their much anticipated one-on-one meeting in Helsinki, Finland, veteran columnist Mike Barnicle observes: “As we get ready to see President Putin emerge from his plane, it occurs to a lot of people that he has already achieved success. He's gotten a free pass from the president of the United States in his invasion of Ukraine, the fourth anniversary tomorrow of shooting down the Malaysian Airliner, disrupting and declaring war on the American political system, and here he is on board with the president of the United States side by side.” Listen in on the conversation here.

Listen in on the Morning Joe discussion with the New York Times’ Michael Schmidt about President Donald Trump’s lawyers, including Rudy Giuliani, setting new conditions on an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller and Giuliani saying that the chances the president would be voluntarily questioned were growing increasingly unlikely. “Michael, Giuliani seems to have indicated that he and the defense team have interviewed everyone who Mueller and his team have interviewed. According to your reporting, do you think that's accurate?” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of Schmidt. Hear the conversation now.

While the Morning Joe panel talks about Secretary of State Mike Pompeo suggesting his trip to North Korea to discuss denuclearization had been “productive,” which contradicts North Korea’s view that the talks were “regrettable,” veteran columnist Mike Barnicle says: “The interesting thing about the North Korean stuff is you can clearly see, if you think about it for just a second, this is now Pompeo's deal, not Trump's deal. They're going to hang this on Pompeo. Mike Pompeo is going to wear this.” Listen to more of the discussion here with Joe Scarborough.
