Tune in to this Morning Joe conversation as former Chicago mayor and U.S. ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel shares what he learned during a recent visit to Louisiana, where he toured schools to examine the state's nationally recognized gains in student achievement. “One thing that is not mentioned a whole lot in any of the campaigns—that you sort of half listened to—is a very important issue to many people: Their children and their education,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle. Hear Emanuel explain how consistency in teacher training, curriculum and accountability has contributed to Louisiana's educational progress—and why he “kicked myself in the butt for not having done this in Chicago.”

“Reading the book, it struck me it's not a Hollywood memoir. You know, it's a story about several different lives, yours principally, and all of the things that you went through with your father, the relationship with your father, the difficulties with your son, and straightening that out to a certain point; and your cancer, where you thought you were going to die. In writing this book, was there an element of ‘I'm free now, I'm free to do this?’” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of Academy Award-winning actor Michael Douglas, who joined Morning Joe to discuss his new memoir, “One Helluva Ride.” Hear Douglas talk about that freedom he was afforded.

Watch this Morning Joe conversation as Willie Geist, Jonathan Lemire, John Heilemann and Mike Barnicle break down the latest MLB postseason action—from the San Diego Padres staving off elimination against the Milwaukee Brewers and the Los Angeles Dodgers taking control of their series against the Atlanta Braves to the New York Yankees' uphill battle against the Tampa Bay Rays to keep their season alive. “I think Tampa Bay comes out of the American League as the American League champions, and it's Brewers versus Tampa Bay,” says Barnicle as he predicts the 2026 World Series matchup. What’s your prediction?

Join the Morning Joe panel conversation about a new AP-NORC poll showing that just 17 percent of Americans approve of President Donald Trump's handling of the cost of living and only 26 percent approve of his handling of the economy overall, with the midterm elections one month away. “The big driver in this election is anger—anger at what's going on around them, anger because they know what's going on around them. Gas and groceries are their existence and every time you see the president of the United States, more often than not, he's surrounded by billionaires. That's his crowd. That’s where he goes," says Mike Barnicle.

“We live in a country now where there are millions of people…who are afraid to leave their homes, people who are afraid to send their children to public schools, people who have left hospital jobs, restaurant jobs, all kinds of jobs, all kinds of employment that have made them thrive here in this country since they arrived within the last 5 or 10 years, because of the fear of what—the federal government of the United States of America pursuing them as if they are convicted criminals already….They came here because of one word: freedom—linked to another word, America. That's being slowly destroyed,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle during this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist as they discuss Republican Sen. Jim Justice urging the Trump administration to reconsider parts of its immigration enforcement strategy and the impact immigration enforcement is having on communities and businesses.
