Tune in for this Morning Joe segment with Willie Geist and Mike Barnicle as they discuss former President Donald Trump having insisted in interviews with Semafor and ABC News that he was not showing off classified documents after being heard in an audio clip first published by CNN referring to “highly confidential” material and “secret information” that he could no longer declassify. He now is claiming the pile of documents on his desk were "plans for construction" while constantly attempting to drive home the point that he had a lot of papers on his desk. “He did yesterday and the day before, and the day before that what he does best: He lies, he lies about everything. Of course, everyone is going to believe that these were plans just to build a new pro shop at the Bedminster golf club. But, it is who he is, and we continue to cover it every single day—this parade of lies coming from a former president of the United States,” says Barnicle.

"There's no surprise left in Donald Trump—no matter what he does, no matter what he says, it's no longer surprising. It’s no longer shocking. He’s removed that from the way we live, the way we exist each and every day,” said Morning Joe’s Mike Barnicle during this conversation with Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Willie Geist and Katty Kay about the exhaustion factor surrounding former President Donald Trump, who has been hit with a 37-count federal indictment, including charges of willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice and making false statements.

“You know, Joe, I used to love waking up almost every morning of my life with a smile on my face. And for the first time in my life, and I say this completely honestly—I'm older than everyone here at the table. I now wake up on the verge of despondency nearly every day—just briefly but nearly every day,” said Morning Joe contributor Mike Barnicle. “And the Jonathan Turley appearance reminded me of something I've wondered about for days now, months now, actually: Where are the legitimate voices to stand in protest over what's been done to the Presidency of the United States—to the office of the Presidency, to the Constitution, to the structure of our government, to the feel for our country. Where are the legitimate voices?” Watch the Morning Joe segment here with Joe Scarborough, Willie Geist, Mika Brzezinski and Mike Barnicle as they discuss Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley’s take on the 37-count federal indictment against former President Donald Trump, which includes charges of willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice and making false statements.

Trump?” asks Barnicle. Watch the conversation here.

Tune in for this Morning Joe conversation with Mika Brzezinski, Mike Barnicle and Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) about the “Stop Harboring Iranian Petroleum Act” (SHIP Act), legislation that Moskowitz and Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) have introduced in Congress to impose new sanctions targeting those who assist the Iranian regime in ducking U.S. sanctions over oil. “On the shipping aspect of this bill, is there anything to the fact that it seems that it’s difficult to track ships these days? There are ghost ships….Is that part of the dilemma here with regard to shipping Iranian oil—finding the ships who are being used to ship the oil?” asks Barnicle.

Morning Joe's Willie Geist and Mike Barnicle discuss PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan defending the process behind the PGA Tour’s controversial merger with Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf. “This is a really bad look for Jay Monahan….I don't think this is good for golf other than the money play. The money play obviously is extremely attractive to both the PGA members and the LIV guys; they’ve already gotten their money. But it’s not a good look,” says Barnicle about the PGA merger with LIV Golf. Watch the segment here.

Tune in for this Morning Joe conversation with Jonathan Lemire, Mike Barnicle and GLAAD President/CEO Sarah Kate Ellis about the current anti-LGBTQ political sentiment that has led to a record 540-plus anti-LGBTQ bills introduced in state legislatures and more than 220 bills that specifically target transgender and non-binary people. “These are obviously terribly turbulent cultural times, but was there a spark…a moment in the last ten years or so when there was such a violent and hysterical overreaction to drag shows, LGBTQ clothing?” asks Barnice. Hear Ellis’ response, as she explains “Whenever there’s progress, there is a snap back reaction to it.” Watch the segment here.

Watch this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Mike Barnicle about new reports that reveal Special counsel Jack Smith has obtained a 2021 recording in which Donald Trump appears to brag about having a classified document related to Iran, suggesting the former president understood both the legal and security concerns around his possession of such restricted information. “It’s going to shape up, I would think, from people who we've spoken to, as a defining moment, not only for the Republican Party but for the country because if the words espionage or treason are even hinted at in the filing documents when, and if, an indictment is brought against the former president, people are going to have to finally make up their minds. There’s got to be enough of this talking about, ‘oh, he's a tough guy. I like how he talks, he's a tough talker. And the stuff about the women, that it's all made up. You know, they're after him because he's Donald Trump’—all that stuff. That's going to go out the window,” says Barnicle. See the discussion here.
