AND TO ALL OF OUR VIEWERS OUT THERE, YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR THE
NEWS LETTERS AT SIGNUP
SIGNUP @AXIOS.COM.
SIGNUP @AXIOS.COM. >> I’M -- "MORNING JOE" STARTS
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW. >> WE ARE IN THIS FOR OUR
PLANET, FOR OUR FUTURE AND WE
WILL FIGHT BACK.
>> WE ARE TIRED OF THE SHUTDOWNS
AND THE GRIDLOCK.
>> WE WILL MEET LIES AND HATE
WITH THE TRUTH AND A VISION FOR
THE FUTURE.
THE FUTURE. >> WELL, THE FIELD OF DEMOCRATS
IS TAKING SHAPE, AS SENATORS
WARREN AND KLOBUCHAR ARE
OFFICIALLY IN WHILE BETO
O’ROURKE IS HOLDING A
COUNTERRALLY TO THE PRESIDENT
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT. GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING. WELCOME TO "MORNING JOE."
IT IS MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11th.
WE HAVE WITH US MIKE BARNICLE,
POLITICAL ANALYST NICK
CONFESSORE, RICHARD HAAS, FORMER
CHIEF OF STAFF AND DIRECTOR OF
STRATEGICS COMMUNICATIONS FOR
HILLARY CLINTON’S CAMPAIGN, NOW
AN MSNBC CONTRIBUTOR, ADRIENNE
EL
EL ELROD AND ASSOCIATE EDITOR OF
"THE WASHINGTON POST" EUGENE
ROBINSON WILL BE JOINING US IN
JUST A MOMENT.
WE’VE GOT A LOT TO GET ITTO.
WOW.
WOW. NEW POLL NUMBERS IN VIRGINIA.
WHAT IT MEANS MORE THE STATE’S
LEADERSHIP.
LEADERSHIP. IT LOOKS LIKE THE GOVERNOR MIGHT
STAY BUT FAIRFAX MIGHT GO.
PLUS SAUDI ARABIA DENIES ANY
INVOLVEMENT IN A BLACKMAIL
ATTEMPT.
ATTEMPT. AND PRESIDENT TRUMP SENDS A
GLOWING TWEET ABOUT NORTH KOREA.
NO MENTION OF THAT COUNTRY’S
NUCLEAR ARSENAL.
NUCLEAR ARSENAL. WE’LL GET TO ALL OF THAT.
FIRST, JOE, ANOTHER BUSY WEEKEND
FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL FIELD OF
DEMOCRATS.
DEMOCRATS. >> ANOTHER BUSY WEEKEND.
IT CONTINUES.
IT CONTINUES. MICHAEL BENNETT ON "MEET THE
PRESS" YESTERDAY SUGGESTING HE
MAY JUMP INTO THE RACE, A
COLORADO SENATOR WHO RECENTLY
TOOK ON TED CRUZ ON THE SHOWDOWN
OF THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, WITH
THE SHOWDOWN ON THE SENATE FLOOR
WOULD BE A VERY IMPRESS OF
CANDIDATE, CERTAINLY OCCUPYING A
MORE CENTRIST VISION OF WHAT THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY SHOULD BE GOING
UP AGAINST DONALD TRUMP.
BUT I’M JUST CURIOUS, NICK
CONFESSORE, WHY GO WITH "THE
WASHINGTON POST" I THINK PUT IT
BEST THAT IT WAS A CURIOUS
SELECTION FOR AMY KLOBUCHAR TO
ANNOUNCE HER RUN FOR PRESIDENT
IN 2020.
IN 2020. HOW DID SHE DO?
>> IT WAS A TRULY MINNESOTA
MOMENT THERE FOR AMY KLOBUCHAR
AND TRUE TO FORM SHE POWERED
RIGHT THROUGH.
RIGHT THROUGH. IN SOME WAYS IT WAS A PHOTO-OP
FOR TWITTER, BUT THE
ANNOUNCEMENT PREVIEWED THE
THEMES THAT WE’LL SEE.
SHE’S GOING TO RUN AS A MODERATE
PLAY NICE WITH BOTH SIDES BUT
PUSH FOR IMPORTANT PRIORITIES ON
THE LEFT, WILL BE PERHAPS A
LITTLE MORE BIPARTISAN THAN SOME
PEOPLE ON THE LEFT HAVE BEEN IN
THE LAST FEW WEEKS.
I THINK HER LANE IS GOING TO BE
SORT OF CENTER LEFT COMPARED TO
SOME OF THESE CANDIDATES.
WHAT HAS REALLY STRUCK ME, I’M
JUST GOING TO SAY THIS, THERE
ARE NOW A COLLECTION OF
CANDIDATES FOR THIS NOMINATION
AND I THINK THERE’S ONLY A
SINGLE STRAIGHT WHITE GUY IN THE
ENTURIRE BUNCH, WHICH IS A REAL
SHIFT FROM ANY ELECTION PAST
THAT WE’VE SEEN AND.
>> FOR SURE.
>> ANOTHER PRNERSON ANNOUNCED TH
WEEKEND, ELIZABETH WARREN.
I’M JUST CURIOUS, ADRIENNE, HOW
DO YOU THINK HER ANNOUNCEMENT
WAS AND AM I THE ONLY ONE IN A
DOESN’T THINK THE NATIVE
AMERICAN WILL CONTINUE TO BE A
THING?
THING? >> I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT.
SHE’S STAYED ON MESSAGE,
BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN THE
MIDDLE CLASS AND WEALTHY,
CLEANING UP WASHINGTON AND
CORRUPTION HAS STOOD OUT IN
EVERY ONE OF HER ASPECTS FOR
ROLL-OUT.
ROLL-OUT. YOUR ROLL-OUTS REALLY DO MATTER.
YOU HAVE TO COMMUNICATE YOUR
MESSAGE AND HONE IN ON WHAT IS
CAUSING AND DRIVING TO YOU RUN
FOR PRESIDENT.
FOR PRESIDENT. I THINK BOTH AMY KLOBUCHAR AND
ELIZABETH WARREN SUCCEEDED IN
THAT.
THAT. AND I WANT TO GIVE CREDIT TO AMY
KLOBUCHAR’S ADVANCE TEAM FOR
PUTTING THINGS TOGETHER IN 4
DEGREES TEMPERATURE.
DEGREES TEMPERATURE. >> SHE MAY WANT A TEMPORARY
ROOF.
ROOF. >> I LIKED IT.
IT SHOWED GRIT.
>> IT SEEMS TO ME ELIZABETH
WARREN NEEDS TO STOP EXPLAINING
WHAT’S MIND HER AND STOORT
EXPLAIN --
EXPLAIN -- START EXPLAINING WHAT’S IN FRONT
OF HER.
OF HER. LET BLOGGERS WRITE ABOUT WHAT
SHE WROTE ON APPLICATIONS 25
YEARS AGO.
YEARS AGO. TELL AMERICANS WHERE WE’RE GOING
TO GO.
TO GO. I’VE RUN A FEW TIMES ON A SMALL
LEVEL.
LEVEL. VOTERS ARE INTERESTED IN THEIR
FUTURE, NOT SO MUCH YOUR PAST.
