“At the core of this is the president of the United States clearly fearful because he knows what he did. And he knows that Bob Mueller and the investigation that they are conducting is on to what he did. And that's the result of the tweets. But there's something else here that is truly dangerous, and that is the venom that he has begun to feed on almost a daily basis out into the public. We saw it at the rally the other night, and It’s no longer fun, none of it is funny, it’s truly dangerous. And we keep referring to his base. Well, I'm sorry, but the people we saw the other evening at that rally, if that's his base, it's deranged,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle as the Morning Joe panel talks about special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe and President Donald Trump’s rally in Tampa Bay, Florida, where attendees, who support the president, berated reporters. Listen to more of the discussion here with Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough.

Listen in on the conversation with Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Mike Barnicle and the New York Times’ Nicholas Confessore about whether the private forum of Facebook is a platform or a publisher and what rules should apply. “There are so many offensive elements of Facebook—people who are on Facebook with just offensive messaging. How much is Facebook bound by the First Amendment in terms of removing elements like that?” asks Barnicle. Listen to Confessore’s response here on MSNBC.

Veteran columnist Mike Barnicle and the Morning Joe crew talks about President Donald Trump’s campaign-style rally in Tampa Bay, Florida, this week, where attendees, who support the president, berated reporters at the rally. “(Trump) has effectively changed the culture around coverage of his presidency, and you saw it again vividly last night on display in Florida. We’ve seen it every time, and it has worked for him. The ultimate mystery…and it includes most of the members of the Republican Party, both the House and the Senate: How is it that we have had effectively war declared in the United States of America by Russia, war declared on us, carried out, an act of war carried out on us—and they seem not to care about that? That is a huge mystery.”
