The Morning Joe panel congratulates Mike Barnicle on his sons—Nick and Colin Barnicle—winning the Sports Emmy for Outstanding Documentary Series for their Netflix docuseries "The Comeback: 2004 Boston Red Sox" that tells the story of the Boston Red Sox's historic comeback, breaking an 86-year World Series drought and overcoming a 3-0 series deficit. “They won for a documentary called "The Comeback," a three-part documentary on Netflix that surprised everyone because sports documentaries don't usually shoot to the top of the top ten Netflix list and if it does, falls off right away; but this stuck on there, and it told a terrific story that was about more than baseball. It was about: Don't give up, come back,” says Barnicle about his sons’ docuseries. Watch the segment here.

“How is it that one specific political party, the Republican Party, seems gravitated towards, captured by, and clings to one individual—Donald J. Trump. How did he do this? How did he transform politics in America and become so all-consuming to so many people, including Democrats, including people making $50,000 a year or less, including laborers, firefighters, police officers? What is it about him? You have to look at your enemy in order to defeat an enemy. You have to know who you're fighting. It seems to me and a lot of other people, I think, that the Democrats simply have never sat down and defined who he is and how to go about that,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle as the Morning Joe panel of Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Anand Giridharadas discuss the Democratic Party’s failure to pull American voters away from President Trump.

“He is certainly used to being surrounded by death and dying. He's carried a cross for his children and his wife, who were killed within days after he won his first election to the United States Senate in the early 1970s. He lost his son, Beau, during the later parts of this...last decade. So, he's used to the sadness, and there's a permanent sadness to Joe Biden that is hard to register. On this one...I don't know enough about the diagnosis in terms of the medical future for Joe Biden, but there are treatments, as Mika pointed out. The family is going to seek second opinions and further treatment options. So, we'll see what happens, but he's had a tough ride these past six or seven months both publicly and now personally,” says Morning Joe contributor Mike Barnicle during this conversation with Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough about the news that former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer.

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.
