At the end of the broadcast, when the guests and hosts take turns saying what they learned from the show.
This must be a very, very, very short segment.

No point denying it: Morning Joke is an unpaid subsidiary of TrumpInc. The the hosts aka the two clowns are relying on him to maintain ratings.

"Because before you get all upset, understand that he’s accessible
that’s very true
and we keep trying to ask him the tough questions and get answers out of him
that’s debatable
and if Hillary Clinton, John Kasich want to call back in, Marco Rubio wants to pick up the phone…" Brzezinski said.

if Mika starts medicating for the voices will Nike, Porsche and Tag Heurer drop her?
if she medicates with Grey Goose will she get her own commercial?

“Just stop!” he said. “Listen, here’s the deal, and yes, you do have voices in your head, there’s no doubt about that. Also, when Kasich said that everybody out there said that they really like you, Mika is a really nice person, they need to spend more time with you.”

Do we have proof that they are unpaid? Completely uncompensated? I am going to remain skeptical of that.

Other than Trump stories, Morning Joe stories are pathetic and a waste of valuable space here at T{M

Did anyone watch yesterday when John Podhoretz was on? The Pod was lambasting Trump, and Mika went into full-tilt Trump Defense Mode (Joe was out sick). She actually accused Pod of “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” and tried to patronize him into submission. It was nuts. Even by Morning Joe standards, I was flabbergasted.

Joe reminds of me of Chinatown scene:
“He’s my father He’s my brother He’s my father He’s my brother” regarding Trump.

Look, here’s the main thing: Let’s say that, arguendo, you were asking him tough questions all along, the point is that since the beginning he has never given an answer to those questions! He blusters, beats his chest over how many morons he can get to his rallies, and gives generalized statements about how he’ll make everything great.
If someone calls in everyday, and you give them 8-10 minutes of free air time and publicity, and you allow them to get away with not answering your questions, then you are culpable. You could have said, we’ll no longer take phone calls from Drumpf until he starts giving substantive answers to questions, rather than generalizations and ad hominem attacks.

The sound of Trump’s voice is, for Joe Scarborough, the equivalent of stroking a female cat in heat. I’m just amazed he doesn’t raise his backside and begin to purr: “Ohhhh…Donald!”
