Watch this Morning Joe conversation between veteran columnist Mike Barnicle and Norman Ornstein, a political scientist with a new article in the New Republic about mental health month. “Most people who live an ordinary life know that mental health is a huge issue from grammar schools on up through life. A lot of people are aware of that; but how do we as a country and you as a specific individual get Congress to pay attention to one single group of people? Not that they're the most important, but one single group of people massively affected by mental health, and I'm talking about veterans of wars. The VA clinics in this country are overrun, an epidemic of people going in, not being able to find help because they're understaffed or it's closed. They’ve got to drive another 80 miles to find another VA facility. What do we do about that? They gave to us. What do we do for them?" asks Barnicle in a discussion about how we as a society can better assist American veterans who are suffering due to their mental health. Listen to Ornstein’s response here. Only on MSNBC.

“We accept it as passengers. We accept that when we go to the airport there's going to be a delay in our flight. We're going to sit on the runway. Yesterday because of the Newark situation…we sat on the runway for an hour and a half to two hours. We take off. We're coming to New York. It's very rainy and cloudy out, obviously on the ground. We're coming in for a landing, plane's coming in, and all of a sudden, we swoop upwards. The pilot comes on the air and says, you know, “sorry about that; the runway was a little overcrowded. We're going to take another round and take a run at it again.’ And that happens too often, and it's a miracle that something really, truly tragic and horrific has not happened—especially on the east coast of America with all of these airports in such a small geographical area and FAA traffic control problems,” says Morning Joe contributor Mike Barnicle during this conversation with Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist about the ongoing issues with the Federal Aviation Administration and air traffic control in America, following air traffic controllers temporarily having lost communication with aircraft flying in and out of Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.
