Appearance. I think its quite fitting he chose that one. What a good message, too. It sounds an awful lot like Ronald Reagans farewell message to america, once again talking about americas strength, unlike any other country on the planet, americas strength for over 240 years. Exactly. Its come from immigrants from across the world. Well, good morning and welcome to morning joe. Its tuesday march 19th. Along with joe, willie and me, we have veteran columnist and msnbc contributor mike barnicle, republican strategist and analyst susan del percio, column ist for time magazine, eddie glaud jr. And from axios, jim vandehei. Up knoyou know, the last few have made me appreciate barack obama and george w. Bush so much more. A lot of people talked about barack obama as a man, a husband, a father, real conservatives. It does put into sharp belief how important character is in our presidency. And the impact of immigration on our history. Its who we are. We keep forgetting that as this president takes us down this path. We dont but the collective we. Hes trying to gets this country to forget what its bearings are. Its not just a scene out of the godfather ii its not something that just happened in the 1800s, waves of italians or irish, its still happening. You go to Silicon Valley right now, my gosh, the technological engine of the world and that has, in effect, been created by those who emigrated to america. They have changed the way we lived, theyve changed the way we think. They have changed everything. Of course they have and they continue to do as you point out, listening to george w. Bush yesterday, its amazing how far weve come, another republican president who tried to get through comprehensive Immigration Reform, who was seen to be too lenient. He also talked about dialing down the rhetoric. It reminded me of his jewel i didnt eulogy at john mccains funeral. When he goes out in public and he doesnt it a lot, he picks his spots but he likes to remind the country in his own way that were better than the way were behaving right now. Mike barnicle, the lie that donald trump and many of his cabinet officials like to spread is you have to agree with us on immigration or else youre for open borders, youre for lawlessness. I didnt great with george w. Bushs pathway to partisanship and the bipartisan approach he had in 2006, but as president bush said in that speech, lets debate the policy. Lets figure out the best way to move toward comprehensive Immigration Reform, but lets not ever for get that immigration is americas strength. Yeah. You know, joe, there are a couple moments there in that speech, we played one clip that clearly pertinent to what were talking about, but the larger element is hes a former president of the United States and he understands role of a president as the head of the state, the head of the nation. We now have in contrast the sitting president of the United States who has very little knowledge of the function of the presidency. George w. Bush and even barack obama speed to the needs to calm the nation so that people understand what were doing, people understand immigration, people understand that it is the life blood of the nation and always has been. Unfortunately we dont have a president who understands the role of the presidency today and i think george bushs function yesterday was to remind people how great it is to have a president who does understand it. And how great the presidency can be. But this president meanwhile kept up his twitter attacks. This time on special Counsel Robert Mueller yesterday. Youll remember last month the Washington Post poll asked who are you most likely to believe, the special counsel or the president. 56 responded Robert Mueller and 33 donald trump. But the president is seizing on a different set of numbers and tweeting that a suffolk usa today poll found that 50 of americans agree that Robert Muellers investigation is a witch hadnt and tagging msnbc adding very few think its legit. We will soon find out . But the poll question was phrased this way President Trump has called the special counsel as ves a witinvestigatih hunt and sad hes been subjected to more investigations than previous president s because of politics. Do you agree . And responding geoff garin, this is a badly written poll question because it is asking two Different Things at the same ti time. That same poll shows over 50 in the past, people feel donald trump is not honest. Forget about compound sentences, you know, it was a compound question. They asked everything including do you think you might be going to thanksgiving at aunt delores next thanksgiving and would you like roast beef with gravy on the side and would you like to go see the packers . Yes or no . Theres no doubt the other poll is better worded and at the end of the day the reason the president probably tweeted 50 times over the weekend is that there is this worry at the white house, has been for two or three weeks, that the Mueller Report is coming. For some reason it hasnt come yet. Whats happen with the Mueller Report, whats happening on capitol hill is obviously weighing on the president. People who talked to him over the weekend, its funny, like some said he seemed in pretty good spirits but then you look at his twitter feed and hes lashing out of reruns of snl, lashing out at every democrat, he did that awful tweet about john mccain. So who knows. By the way, its interesting, eddie glaude, you dont want to get anyone trouble but we want to speak out forcefully against that horrific behavior. But are you going to be going to your aunt delores for thanksgiving dinner . No. I dont have an aunt delores. What about the gravy . You must always have gravy. Particularly with stuffing. Always go with the gravy. You know, i wanted to read you this, eddie. The president draws energy and purpose from maliciousness and tra transgressive acts from attacking the weak, the honorable and even the dead. Up kno you know, eddie, were going to be showing a poll that evangelical christians still remain loyal to this man. And if so, again, there is nothing consistent with the teachings of jesus. When i say nothing, i mean absolutely nothing in the sermon on the mount, especially the story of the Good Samaritan. You can look for all of the red letters in your king james new testament bible and you will see that donald trump, the wave he liv way he lives and the policies he pursues is the antithesis of those words. Its fascinating and it reveals theyre willing to close their eyes to the teachings of christ, that in order to to in some ways support a president that they think will pursue their agenda with regards to judges, with the moral whats fascinating though that its always been the case that it wasnt jesuss close relationship with the roman government that got him on the cross, but that it was his willingness to challenge power, his refusal to in some wayside with the rich and powerful over the poor and vulnerable. When you talk about matthew 25, in some ways that ministry that has in some ways transformed the world, its not a ministry that is really designed to produce its not a ministry designed to generate what some scholars have called con so i tweeted out that this reveals a crisis in white evangelicalism, but it also reveals the history of white evangelicalism, joe, and is deeply troubling and problematic. When you talk about matthew 25, as we continue the eddie glaude hour of power here on morning joe, you talk about matthew 25, thats not like something that jesus coughed and that is the center of what jesus says. His disciples asked him house of representatives do we get to heaven, how do we sit on the right hand of the father and jesus says give a couple of water in the masters name, feed the hungry, clothe the neighborhood. Its basically bring comfort to those who need comfort and hope to the hopeless. You look at that which is really the cornerstone of Jesus Ministry and then you look at stories like the Good Samaritan and then you read the beattitudes. As someone who grew up in the van jel call church and still considers it my home and still considers the fact that donald trump still is saying he does not need to be forgiven by jesus christnd hes ever it is the and hit ses and chamblee, georgia, i can tell you a ainting to i ever lefrd in those kuches. If i still dont get it, mika. I dont either. President trump continued to tweet a string of grievances and attacks as the New York Times looked to explain the weekends 50tweet tirade. People who spoke with mr. Trump over the often on the weekend said he appeared to be in good spirits but also said he appeared to be a little aimless and the outpouring was delivered with a lack of structure. Sounds like a teenage boy. What do you mean, youve taken oaf fortnite . Im going to start tweeting, ma yeah. According to the times, trumps advisers have shared with him data, showing the republican senator john cornyn of texas shared this last night, tweet others how you want to be tweeted, adding good advice. Susan percio, even the rb senators are saying enough, don. Well, theyre actually not saying enough in my opinion, joe. They didnt understand up to his comments on jackson he goes after mueller and mccain, men of character, washhe is void of values. Hes goes after thos two men who served their country, where he believes the country is there to serve him. And most of all, they are american heros and he was a coward who can even remember what foot the alleged bone spur was on that he used to avoid vietnam. I think hes a coward and all of this is spinning out of control. The president of the United States and leader of the free world seemed to be driven by lack of structure. The john mccain thing is so weird and so clearly an act of projection of a man who has been lauded and praised the last couple of months. If you dont want to go and honor him, thats your right but to go and repeatedly offend him, whats going on there . A lot of people indicate tweet storm this weekend, did it happen because he found out something about the Mueller Report, did some, tra extraneou element upset him and cause him to tweet all the vile things he tweeted this weekend . It might be simpler than that. It might be that he is just an empty human being and this is who he is. These tweets are who he is, having nothing to do with anything triggering an emotion to tweet, its just who he is. And, sadlyly f for this country hes president of the United States. Kellyanne conway dismissing her husbands concerns about Donald Trumps health. On sunday night conway wrote simply his condition is getting worse clearly referring to trump. George conways latest criticism came after the president posed 50 tweets, criticizing the Mueller Probe, saturday night live, which was a rerun. Heres what kelly told reporters when asked about the tweets. Reporter your husband has been tweeting his concerns about the president S Mental Health . Do you agree with them . No, i have four kids i was getting out of the house this morning so i didnt see them. And Brad Parscale writes we all know that realdrft turned down mr. Kellyanne conway for a job he desperately wanted. He barely worked at the Justice Department. They all have the same comebacks. Youre just jealous when i was criticizing marco rubio or sean hannity. No, im kind of happy with the life im living right here. I dont need their lives at all, i dont want their lives at all. In this case George Conway because he has character would never want to work for donald trump for one second. In fact, he would be incapable of working for George Conway. But, mike barnicle, come on, as my grandma would say, this really takes the rag off the churn. And it does because ill bet eddies grandma said that, too, this really takes the rag off the churn and it does because this is the stuff that Kellyanne Conway tells George Conway at night. How do i know that . Ive seen her in realtime. I know that because this is the way Kellyanne Conway would talk to us when she thought donald trump was going to lose the election. Go into the green room, she would say it on set, she denied it. And then a spate of books came out saying thats exactly what she did. Her husband is a stenographer for her. You clearly remember election day morning Kellyanne Conway was with us on this program on the morning of election day and after her appearance was walking out with her on a commercial break, i was trying to leave to go to laguardia of course you were. Mike. I said ill bet youll be glad when this is over, kellyanne. Its got to be some experience. She looked at me and said, oh mike, this was just like spending a semester abroad. She thought they were going to lose. So i dont know whether shes relating tore coming home from work youre not going to believe what happened today and this would trigger one of his tweets. That we wont know. But jim vandehei, tweet from the Campaign Manager about Kellyanne Conways husband, i dont know why i maintain some level of shock about the internals, ridiculousness of the Trump Administration but that was kind of shocking to me. What is going on here . Of all the subplots in this weird drama, the whole Kellyanne Conway thing is so bizarre. The fact that the press is weighing in on it is bizarre. In some ways its everyone Pay Attention to the tweet when what people should really be paying attention it to is what trump is doing on facebook. Once again theyre pouring all of their money into facebook and all of their money trying to persuade people when people arent paying attention. 30 of the people are getting their news on facebook. Again like last election when people werent paying attention to the russians and werent paying attention to what trump was doing, hes use willing the this hes already spent more than every single democrat being candidate combined. This was the story of 2016. And the truth is nothings changed. All the things that you could do on facebook, all the things that the russians were doing on facebook, a lot of that can still be done. Might be more scrutiny, might be a little tougher but it can still be done. Its still the single greatest way to persuade people at scale for the lowest cost. When youre thinking about this campaign, Pay Attention to not justice twitter, on faked. I tell you what, mika, i saw it yesterday in technical about a debate i was having on twitter. Not really a debate. I was actually putting out historical facts, facts that couldnt be debated and you can tell, people just read what they want to read, they go on facebook, the read the lies and at the believe the lies and that becomes their reality. So you ask why can donald trump lie as much as he does . And objectively or you can actually look at documents and so much of it has to do with faubz. He buys a lot of ads on facebook. And theres no stand. Its really going to be interesting at who history looks at kek ji and facebook and its impact on our country krascy. Its not going to be good. Still ahead, new questions about the president s tie to deutsch like many things in himself life who has over blow his actual pum preel be joined by Preet Bharara who is out with a new book doing justice.

You know, come a general election, president ial candidates dont come to places like mississippi. They also dont come to places like massachusetts because were not the Battle Ground state. Well, my view is that every vote matters. And the way that we can make that happen [ applause ] is that we can have National Voting and that means get rid of Electoral College and everybody votes.
