. >> david ignatius, joe scarborough -- larry: i knew joe scarborough when he was conservative republicanscarborough country. >> me too. larry: my three. continue. >> bill kristol is republican, anti-trumper playing on twitter every day. even he says he should not run. new "reuters poll," seven swing states, donald trump leads by average of six points n that holds, i get we're 400 days away from the election if that holds looking not just a trump victory a land slide. that is where democrats really have to start to shore up their support. i don't see how they do it. joe biden is not like wine. he will not get better with age. it will only get worse. plan b with kamala harris is more like a plan z. what do they do? it is tough spot. >> they could pull it off in 2020, covid, keep him in the basement. we've seen the cognitive decline. it gets worse, not gets better. they feel they can't pull off the same crisis plan next year as they did four years ago. larry: you're right. we should all worry about drop dead dates but his policies are declining. the catastrophe at the border and back to $10

in joe scarborough, morning joe said this. >> everybody we talk to, every political discussion, whent comes to joe biden, people say he's too old to run, isn't he? every discussion. when i say every discussion i don't mean 99 percent of the discussions, every discussion. democrats off the air will say joe biden is too old. why is he running? on the air they won't say that. >> it's not just the liberal columnist in the liberal commentators, it's even former house speaker nancy pelosi who did not appear to confident about hers party 2024 tickets o an interview on cnn. >> do you think there's any chance he does not continue running? >> i hope not. to keep you think vice presiden kamala harris is the best running mate? >> he thinks oh, and that's wha matters. she is very politically astute great i don't think people give her enough credit. >> do you think she's the best running mate? cake issues the vice president of the united states. people say why isn't she doing this or that, she is the vice president. you don't do that much. ticket let's dissect this. i disagree that she is politica

last week it was joe scarborough, axelrod, dan jones, maureen doubt, how many more liberals have to abandons guy? >> sean, i don't think joe biden is going to be the democratic nominee and 2024 that is why we spend so much time talking about his age and cognitive ability which is important to discuss of course. we need to be doing what you just dead and laying out the failures of the biden administration because we know that it is not just joe doing that that there is somebody pulling the strings and dose strengths are going to be pulled whoever at the democratic nominee is. we have got to focus on the policy focus on what they're doing to our country, what they are doing try border security, national security, economy, children and schools. we have to focus on that because we can get rid of biden and plug and play, harris, michelle obama, gavin newsom, they're all going to implement the same policies, may be even worse. let's talk about jail, but also to democratic policies that are absolutely destroying this nation. focus on that otherwise the next nominee that the democrats come up with

joe scarborough on camera admitted every democrat he knew was privately saying he's too hold to run.he white house pays very close attention to the media and aware of the shifting sentiment. karine jean-pierre is acutely aware of the media that he's not longer quite so compliant and had to leave the podium abruptly when reporters pressed her on the hunter investigation was and impeachment inquiry into the president. today, the fox poll showing biden losing ground with key voting blocks. look at this. suburban women, blacks, voters under the age of 45 down across the board. the democrats will look at those numbers and conclude the biden harris ticket cannot win. what we've been saying all week, it's only a matter of time before this president is pushed into retirement. third hour of varney starts right now. stuart: any moment now president biden will be delivering remarks on uaw negotiations and the strike and sandra smith is here. not to cover what the president is about to say -- >> i'm happy to do that as well. stuart: i'm sure you are and maybe you will. first, listen to hillary c

. >> david said -- >> i knew joe scarborough when he was a conservative republican congressman. >> ilow: me too. >> me too. kudlow: we did. >> continue. >> bill crystal, as a republican now, just anti-trumper who plays on twitter all all day, they see the poll, one poll is key, new reuters poll 7 swing states donald trump wins by average of 6 points, we are 400 days away but you will see a landslide if that holds, down see how they shore up support, joe biden is not like wine, he does not get better with age. the plan of kamala harris is a plan z. >> they could pull it off in 2020 because of covid, but we have seen the cognitive decline it gets worse never better, they feel they can't pull off the same crisis plan next year as they did 4 years ago. >> are right, we should worry 'dop dead dates, his policies are declining as well. catastrophe at border, and back to 100 oil, these things, there is a catastrophe, we have to go. jobe concha and monica crowley and no one here has a house in martha's vineyard, on kudlow, president trump is borrowing from eisenhower years to fix the border

howard: that admission by joe scarborough, interesting. en before, andrew sullivan and joe kline, say he looks and feels old and frail, and these are people who are on his side is. what do you make of that? >> well, i think that it's a tough situation because you have not only biden who is now going to be in his 800s, but you also -- 80s, but you also have the presumptive republican nominee, tear going to collective by be going on 160 years old at the time of of the 2024 election, that's not a good place to be for american voters. and i say this as an a exs-republican who is also not a democrat, right? but a person who strongly hopes that trump is defeated the next cycle, i do think a problem here is that democrats in the last four years and earlier have become so convinced that they must do anything they can do to save this country from a second trump presidency which i support that they have tunnel vision. the only lane that they could pursue is in a joe biden reelect, and that has caused them to act in non-competitive ways in this democr

we saw it with bill crystal yesterday, joe scarborough.at criticism comes from the left, that's a whole bowl of problems, guys. >> todd: i will correct you like wine that's been opened. really old. >> joe: vinegar. >> todd: donald trump says this about welcomer's indictment. >> mr. president, can you continue to say there are two systems of justice? >> i think there is no question about it. he had a plea deal that the was the deal of the century. all of a sudden broke up by a judge who was able to -- brilliant judge, actually, who was able to see what was happening. it's a sad situation. nobody should be happy about this. >> todd: thoughts, joe? >> joe: there is a two-tier manied system donald trump is exactly right. why else have a justice department who serves at the pleasure of the current president trying to take out a guy who is looking to take his place in the oval office. and you see the schedule. that's what drives me nuts, right? before super tuesday, one day before super tuesday, a critical primary and donald trump will be in cou

if i may, let me play this from joe scarborough this morning. we'll get your comments on the other side. >> we often will complain about republicans who will say one thing about donald trump off the air and another on air. well, let me just say, democrats off the air will say joe biden is too old. why is he running. on the air, they won't say that, so i commend david for raising the question. >> martha: leslie? >> look, there's opinion and there's fact. the fact is that every election is based on numbers. right now if the election were today, you'd have 302 electoral votes for joe biden. any incumbent, representative, senator has an advantage, whether they're a democrat or republican. regardless of their age we're seeing republicans rally around mitch mcconnell. and you know, then on the other side of their mouth, they're chastising the president. the president will not run based on david's article any more than the polls, any more than donald trump is going to say well, i'm not going to run because a majority of the voters don't want me to run.

joe scarborough said it on his show that every guest that appeared, every democrat says the same thingbut they say it off air. now it's on air. i think that is partly because the president is showing his age more and more. he looks far weaker, not in command. the health issues are become apparent it's hard to ignore. a lot of democrats fear that might neuter all of the charges against donald trump. a lot of worrying about it, but i don't think joe biden is inclined to listen to them. unless they can have some magic bolt to get him off the stage, i tonight think he wants to go. >> martha: i think you're probably right about that. andy, as you look at this situation politically, joe biden could pardon his son of these charges. they've said he won't from the podium. that can charge. is there any kind of scenario that you see here where he decides to do that as part of a plan to kind of move off and be a bridge to the future as he said he was going to be when he ran? >> martha, i can only -- it's hard to put yourself in somebody else's shoes. i can only say if it were me and i had the powe

and joe scarborough addressed this the other day on msnbc's air. it's both parties on a fundamental question, which is this. there are no people in the republican party who when the cameras were off formany years praised donald trump. that's for tv. that's for the show. now, democrats, there's not a one of them who you have a private conversation with who is not extremely worried bordering on panic about president biden's ability to make it through this election and to win in the election. and as soon as the cameras go on, they sing a different tune. so the american people see this. there's a conversation that's held by the elites of the country that projects over the whole of the media that they're not in the room for. they're not part of, but they get it completely. how does that cynicism that results from that, who benefits from that? the people who benefit from that are the demagogues and the autocrats. it's the trump movement that flourishes in the bs environment. so the republican party is lock, stock, and barrel controlled by the greatest th

and last week it was joe scarborough, axelrod reid, carville, van jones, david ignatius, maureen dowd. i mean, how many more liberals haven do many to abandon this so, sean, i've been saying it'ti for months. i don't think that joe biden is goinnk joe bg to be the democrat nominee in 2024. that's why we spend so time talking about his age and his cognitive ability, which is important to discuss, you of course. but we need to be doing what you just did and laying oust dead ant the failures of tr biden administration, because i think we all know that it's not just joe doing that. s there is somebody pulling the strings and those are going to be pulled whoever in the democrat nominee is. so we havever at tti to focusus on the policies. we have to focus on what they're doing to our countrywhd, what they're doing to our border security, our national security, our economity, ity, e our children in schools. we have to focus on that becausco, e we can get rid of biden. we can plug and play kamala harris. michelle obama or gavin newsom. but they're all going to implement those michels, maybe w

lined up with it and, jonathan lemire, what i was reading was from joe klein about joe biden not joe scarborough about the fact he's accomplished a great number of things, there is a growing frustration among democrats and the fear that they believe for good reason that american democracy is on the line if donald trump is elected a second time. there's a fear of just, you know, the whole holding your breath, crossing your fingers, hoping things will turn out for the best but willie brings up a great point. a point that is so piercing that there was an awesome "saturday night live" live skit about it last halloween. if not biden, who? like, who do the democrats have, like, he was on stage with 15 progressives throughout 2020. they were talking about returning america to busing. people hated busing in 1974. people of color hated busing in 19 -- but the democrats went so far left up on the debate stage that joe biden ended up winning and he won because people of color in south carolina and a lot of moderate democrats voted for him. the question is, who in the democratic party stepped in that void s

yes, the atlanta falcons, joe scarborough, 1-0. >> that's right. jack scarborough and i were there. >> can't believe it. >> saw the falcons. he really wanted to get up to atlanta and wanted to see the debut. >> it was a late night. >> bryce young did fairly well. whether you're talking about mac jones or bryce young or my alabama crimson tide, not a great week. but tua, incredible week. i guess the first 30 minutes of our show is probably enough for sports, right? >> yeah. actually, football intersected with politics over the weekend. >> did it? here is our segue. >>> a college football rivalry was injected with even more bitterness over the weekend when the two frontrunners for the 2024 republican presidential nomination both showed up at the game. on saturday, both former president donald trump and florida governor ron desantis attended the contest between iowa and iowa state. trump sat in a private suite and was greeted with cheers but also, notably, some boos and insulting gestures. at one point, he waved to the crowd. >> they waved back, but n

. >> classic swing voter joe scarborough. >> there have been years even when i was a republican thatt democratic line. but voters go in and you study them. a lot of times you have to ask yourself, are they going to vote for donald trump post january 6th, post all of this madness? i don't see it happening. >> i agree. it's a very difficult debate. you mentioned james carville and bedwetting. he's been doing quite a lot of bedwetting from some of his recent interviews. you don't want to be complacent about donald trump. if he does win, it's basically the end of american democracy, in my view. i would be far more nervous if it was tim scott or nikki haley going up against joe biden. there wouldn't be such a stark choice. republicans know he's going to cost them with young voters, women, minorities, et cetera. as you say, the person doesn't exist who voted against trump in 2020 but now think trump has comported himself in such a wonderful way over the last three years that he deserves another chance. you mentioned youngkin. can we talk about how bereft the republican party is that they'r

i'm joe scarborough. great to talk to you.showed them to his political director, and then told her, i'm not supposed to show this to you. i could declassify it if it were still president of the united states but i'm not so i can't declassify it." i'd then say, "he also called the secretary of state of georgia -- a trumper, guy who voted for donald trump -- and said, steal the election for me. it's on tape." listen, these are not normal times. joe biden doesn't have to say, i've been talking to the justice department. he can say, listen, i'm not communicating with them. they do their thing, i do my thing. but i can read the newspapers. i can watch tv. >> mm-hmm. >> i can tell you, the guy i'm running against said that when he gets elected, he's going to tear down the federal government, just like they promised to do last time. he said he is going to arrest people. he said he is going to suspend the constitution. he's already stolen nuclear secrets. let's see, what else do you want to know about my opponent? i mean, i do agree w

. >> i feel like they could hire joe scarborough to go and talk to the team, and i don't know, the baduy that the docu series claimed as not good enough and that's why aaron rodgers needed to step in, and they did not make the playoffs last year, and awful it feels like, again, the most jets thing imaginable. >>> a lot to get to on "morning joe." cities across the country are reporting major increases in crime. but our next guest says police can defeat it, and former nypd commissioner joins us. straight ahead -- oh, there's barnicle. finally he shows up. okay. we'll be back. let innovation refunds help with your erc tax refund so you can improve your business however you see fit. rosie used part of her refund to build an outdoor patio. stop waiting. go to innovationrefunds.com clink! mass general brigham -- when you need some of the brightest minds in medicine. this is a leading healthcare system with five nationally ranked hospitals, including two world-renowned academic medical centers. in boston, where biotech innovates daily and our doctors teach at harvard medical school and the p
