Mika Brzezinski And Joe Scarborough Unpack Donald Trump Jr.'s Emails

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: WELL, WELCOME
BACK, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
YOU KNOW, EVERY MORNING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS GET NEWS AND
OPINION FROM MY NEXT GUEST, EXCEPT FOR THE PRESIDENT, WHO
ABSOLUTELY, DEFINITELY, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WATCHES ANY MORE.
PLEASE WELCOME THE HOST OF "MORNING JOE," JOE SCARBOROUGH
AND MIKA BRZEZINSKI!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( BAND PLAYING )
>> Stephen: NICE TO SEE Y'ALL AGAIN.
>> GREAT TO BE HERE AGAIN.
>> Stephen: NOW -- ( LAUGHTER )
WHAT A DAY.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: WHAT A DAY.
USUALLY, SUMMERTIME IS A SLOW NEWS TIME.
>> MM-HMM.
>> Stephen: WHAT TIME DOES YOUR SHOW GO OFF.
WHAT HOURS ARE YOU ON, 6:09?
>> 6:00 TO 9:00 A.M.
>> Stephen: HE DIDN'T TWEET OUT HIS E-MAILS, DONALD TRUMP,
JR., UNTIL 11:00.
DID THAT MAKE YOU MAD?
( LAUGHTER ) >> THAT ACTUALLY GIVES US A
COUPLE OF HOURS TO PREPARE AND WE HAVE A HANDY GRAPHIC YOU DID
AS FAR AS CONNECTING THE DOTS, WE'LL USE THAT THIS MORNING.
>> Stephen: YOU LICENSE THAT FROM CBS AND YOU'RE GOD TO GO.
>> EXACTLY.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN
FOLLOWING THE STORY LIKE THE REST OF AMERICA HAS BUT FROM A
MORE INTIMATE PERCH FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS NOW.
WHY DO YOU THINK HE TWEETED THAT STUFF OUT THIS MORNING?
>> OH, GOD, I HAVE NO FRICKIN' IDEA.
( LAUGHTER ) WHAT THE WHAT?
>> THIS MORNING?
>> Stephen: WHY DID DONALD TRUMP, JR. TWEET THAT OUT?
>> IT'S PART OF BARGE STRATEGY WITH THEM.
THEY PUT IT OUT.
DONALD TRUMP, JR. HAS BEEN WHIPPING UP THE FRENZY AS FAR AS
THE FAKE NEWS GOES FOR SOME TIME.
HE HAD A REALLY OFFENSIVE TWEET THREE TO FIVE DAYS AGO BEFORE
THIS BLEW UP OF DONALD TRUMP AS A FIGHTER PILOT BLOWING UP CNN
OUT OF THE AIR.
THEY WHIP PEOPLE UP INTO A FRENZY, TALK ABOUT FAKE NEWS,
AND IT'S BEEN PART OF A FAKE PATTERN FOR A LONG TIME, THEY'RE
TRYING TO CONFUSE THE TRUTH WITH LIES.
THEY PUT IT OUT THERE AND TELL PEOPLE IT'S MUCH ADO ABOUT
NOTHING.
>> YOU COULD ARGUE THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RACE AGAINST TIME
BEFORE ALL THE BAD STUFF COMES OUT ABOUT THEM.
>> Stephen: SO YOU ROUGH UP THE UMPIRE SO THAT WHEN THE
ACTUAL EVIDENCE COMES OUT THERE'S NOBODY CREDIBLE --
>> THAT'S WHAT IT'S BEEN ABOUT FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
>> Stephen: ISN'T THAT TRYING TO MAKE US INSANE?
ISN'T THAT WHAT IT IS?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: TRYING TO MAKE US CRAZY THAT THERE IS NO OBJECTIVE
REALITY?
>> IT'S A REALLY SAD TIME.
>> Stephen: TWO WEEKS AGO, YOU GUYS BECAME THE NEWS BECAUSE THE
LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD, THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE UNITED
STATES SAID -- I'LL PUT IT UP HERE.
>> OH, THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: "I HEARD POORLY RATED "MORNING JOE" SPEAKS BADLY
OF ME.
DON'T WATCH ANYMORE.
THEN, HOW COME LOW I.Q. CRAZY MIKA CAME WITH "MORNING JOE"
THREE YEARS AGO ON NEW YEAR'S EVE TO JOIN ME.
SHE WAS BLEEDING BADLY FROM A FACE LIFT.
I SAID NO.
HOW DOES THAT FEEL TO BE ATTACKED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES ON TWITTER?
( AUDIENCE BOOING ) >> Stephen: HOW DID THAT FEEL?
ME, IT WAS NO BIG DEAL.
PERSONAL, IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME ONE BIT.
I JUST THINK IT'S VERY SAD FOR THE COUNTRY THAT THIS IS WHERE
WE ARE, AND I THINK THAT BACKS UP THE POINT I MADE EARLIER THAT
THIS IS OUR PRESIDENT.
>> Stephen: WHERE WERE YOU, WERE YOU ON THE AIR?
>> I WAS ON THE SET.
JOE WAS IN THE OFFICE.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
AND EVERYBODY STARTED LOOKING VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, AND THE
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER ALEX GORESSEN SAID STAY IN YOUR SEAT, I'M
COMING TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
I SAID, REALLY?
WHAT'S ON YOUR PHONE, WHAT DID HE DO?
>> Stephen: WILLIE?
WILLIE WAS HOLDING HIS PHONE AWAY FROM ME.
>> Stephen: HE WOULDN'T READ IT TO YOU?
>> I THINK HE MIGHT HAVE FELT UNCOMFORTABLE TO SHOW IT TO ME
AT FIRST.
>> Stephen: WHY DO YOU THINK HE DID THIS?
WHAT DO YOU THINK WAS IN HIS HEAD?
>> I THINK I WAS MOCKING HIS FAKE MAGAZINE COVER HANGING IN
ONE OF HIS COUNTRY CLUBS.
WE WERE ON THE AIR JOKING ABOUT IT.
I CAN FEEL IT.
I KNOW HIM WELL ENOUGH TO KNOW IT'S THAT KIND OF THING THAT
GETS UNDER HIS SKIN.
HE CAN BE PLAYED VERY EASILY WHICH IS VERY CONCERNING.
>> SHOWING ANGER TOWARDS DONALD TRUMP, LETTING HIM KNOW THAT
YOU'RE OUTRAGED, THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS.
WHEN YOU MOCK HIM, WHEN MIKA WAS JOKING ABOUT THE "TIME" MAGAZINE
COVER -- >> WHICH IS HILARIOUS.
( LAUGHTER ) >> IT IS, IT IS.
THAT'S WHAT REALLY MAKES HIM THE ANGRIEST.
HE WATCHES THE SHOW, YOU KNOW, AS YOU WERE GORING ABOUT IT
BEFORE, BUT HE DOES WATCH IT AND IT DRIVES HIM ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.
BUT HE HAS THIS RAGE ABOUT MIKA.
HE DID THIS LAST SUMMER DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE CAMPAIGN, TOO.
SENT OUT ALL OF THESE TWEETS.
HE WAS ESPECIALLY VICIOUS TOWARD MIKA, AND IT REALLY, I THINK
MAINLY IT'S BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN AND --
>> Stephen: YOU KNOW DONALD TRUMP.
YOU GUYS WROTE IN AN EDITORIAL THAT THIS GUY YOU SEE NOW IS NOT
THE GUY YOU KNEW.
WHAT'S DIFFERENT?
BECAUSE THIS SEEMS EXACTLY LIKE THE GUY THAT I HAVE ALWAYS SEEN.
HE'S A PRIMO TOOL.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( PIANO RIFF )
>> Stephen: AND I JUST DON'T KNOW -- I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU'RE SEEING DIFFERENT ABOUT THE GUY BECAUSE I KNOW
YOU, LIKE, NEVER ENDORSED HIM, BUT YOU'VE KNOWN HIM FOR YEARS.
YOU HAVE BEEN FRIENDS WITH THE GUY.
>> JOE EVEN SAID DURING THE CAMPAIGN HE COULD NEVER VOTE FOR
HIM, BUT HE USED TO KNOW HE WAS A TOOL.
>> Stephen: TRUMP USED TO MOW KNOW?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE MEN DON'T GENERALLY CHANGE AT 70.
IT REVEALS CHARACTER.
>> I WANT TO BE CAREFUL HOW UH SAY THIS --
>> BE VERY CAREFUL.
I'VE JUST GOT TO SAY THAT PEOPLE THAT HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR A
VERY LONG TIME HAVE SAID, OVER THE PAST YEAR, THAT HE HAS
STARTED TO CHANGE.
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT WHETHER HE'S OBNOXIOUS OR WHATEVER, BUT,
FOR INSTANCE, WHEN WE WERE ON "THE APPRENTICE" ONE TIME, HE
HAD SOME GOLF TOURNAMENT OUT AT ONE OF HIS CLUBS.
HE WAS IN ON THE JOKE.
HERE'S MY FACE, HEY, LOOK, JOE -- WINK.
>> WINK.
ERKORN.
MOST BEAUTIFUL WATER FALL IN THE WORLD.
BY THE WAY, 7:00.
>> BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE HIM PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL.
>> I'M SAYING, THOUGH, HE AT LEAST HAD MORE OF A CONCEPT OF
WHAT HE WAS DOING, THE GAME HE WAS PLAYING.
>> HE'S WAY IN OVER HIS HEAD NOW.
>> Stephen: ANY CHANCE HE'S GOING, HEY, LOOK, TRUMP WATER,
ISN'T THAT DUMB?
THAT'S THE LIE AND HE REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS COOL?
( LAUGHTER ) WE HAVE TO TAKE A BREAK.
BACK WITH MORE JOE AND MIKA, STICK AROUND.
