Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Willie Geist and Mike Barnicle discuss news that former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is seriously considering running—as an independent—for president and a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll that shows only 32% of people believe that Donald Trump is knowledgable and experienced enough to handle the presidency. “The President of the United States pure and simple is incompetent. He can’t do the job," says Barnicle. As for Schultz: "He’s not going to affect the presidential election because he’s not going to there in the end.” You can hear more of the conversation here.

There was not a knock saying, you know, ‘Bin Laden, FBI, come on out.’ They didn't do that,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle. You can watch the exchange here.

While the Morning Joe panel reviews President Donald Trump’s Oval Office address last night, veteran columnist Mike Barnicle puts it into context: “It raises the question—an important one...What happens when there is a real crisis? When there is a real emergency? Does he take to the air waves? Do we give him the air waves? Do we believe him? That's a real question that’s going to have to be answered. The president continually...gets right up to the edge of 'this as a national emergency'. Well, there is a national emergency I would submit, and we saw it last night: It’s him.” Listen to more of the conversation here.

“The country is not, I don't think, anecdotally, as divided as we think it is. People want community restored. They want calmness restored. As John Heilemann pointed out: This particular president has injected himself into this campaign to the point where he said: ‘I'm on the ballot. This is a vote for me.’ So, we're going to find out a lot about the country, the direction of the country going forward, next Tuesday,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle during a conversation with Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough about President Donald Trump’s rhetoric leading up to the midterm elections, following the mass anti-Semitic shooting in Pittsburgh where 11 congregants were killed inside a synagogue.

While the Morning Joe panel discusses the New York Times op-ed that was written by an unnamed senior Trump Administration official, who slammed President Donald Trump's "amorality" and reckless decision-making and said he or she is part of a "resistance" working to thwart President Trump's worst impulses, veteran columnist Mike Barnicle shares: “I would prefer that the author be named, he or she, obviously. But the larger context is: Finally, people like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell reading this, knowing what they know, knowing what so many around this presidency do know, is their larger obligation not to the country rather than to the party?” Listen to more here with Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist.
