>>> THANK YOU ALL FOR GETTING UP
"WAY TOO EARLY" ON THIS TUESDAY
MORNING.
STICK AROUND, BECAUSE "MORNING
JOE" STARTS RIGHT NOW.
>>> BEFORE THE PLAGUE CAME IN, I
HAD IT MADE.
I WASN’T COMING TO ERIE.
I HAVE TO BE HONEST, THERE WAS
NO WAY I WAS COMING.
I DIDN’T HAVE TO.
I WOULD HAVE CALLED YOU AND SAY,
HEY, ERIE, GET OUT AND VOTE.
WE HAD IT WON.
I THINK I HAVE THE TRUCKERS’
VOTE.
NICE.
BY THE WAY, NICE TRUCKS.
YOU THINK I COULD HOP INTO ONE
OF THEM AND DRIVE IT AWAY?
JUST DRIVE THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS.
I HAD SUCH A GOOD LIFE.
MY LIFE WAS GREAT.
AND THEN I SAID, LET’S DO THIS,
DARLING.
THIS WILL BE A LOT OF FUN.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
I’M SO HAPPY WITH IT BECAUSE
NOBODY HAS EVER DONE SO MUCH IN
THE FIRST 3 1/2 YEARS.
>> NOBODY HAS EVER DONE SO MUCH
TO KILL SO MANY PEOPLE.
THAT’S CORRECT.
>> THAT’S TRUE.
>> NOBODY.
>> LITERALLY, NOBODY.
>> NOBODY IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
IT JUST HAS -- YOU’VE GOT TO
HAND THAT TO HIM.
>> YES, YOU DO.
>> THAT HE HAS MADE HISTORY.
>> IF IT WASN’T SO SAD I’D LAUGH
HARDER.
INTERESTING CLOSING ARGUMENTS
FROM THE PRESIDENT.
REALLY INTERESTING.
THERE’S NO WAY I WAS COMING TO
ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA.
IN ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA.
>> YEAH.
>> AND YESTERDAY, I’D LOVE TO
DRIVE THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
SPEAKING IN ALLENTOWN,
PENNSYLVANIA.
WILLIE, THAT’S SORT OF WHAT YOU
DO WHEN YOU VISIT FAMILY, RIGHT?
>> EXACTLY.
THE MINUTE I SIT DOWN AT THE
THANKSGIVING TABLE I SAY I’D
LIKE TO DRIVE THE HELL OUT OF
HERE.
NOBODY LOVES A TRUCK MORE THAN
DONALD TRUMP BUT MAYBE MY NEPHEW
FRANK.
HE WANTS TO GET BEHIND THE BILL
WHEEL AND HONK THE HORN.
I THINK THAT’S AN INSTINCT A LOT
OF US HAVE.
>> I GUESS SO.
BUT HE UNDERSTANDS THAT THINGS
AREN’T GOING QUITE THE WAY HE
EXPECTED THEM TO GO A LONG TIME
AGO AND YOU GET THE -- A SENSE
OF FRUSTRATION.
HE’S TALKED ABOUT WANTING TO
LEAVE THE COUNTRY IF HE LOSES.
IF HE DOESN’T WIN IOWA, NEVER
GOING BACK TO IOWA.
IT’S -- IT’S AN INTERESTING
CLOSING ARGUMENT, BUT WE’RE
GOING TO LOOK AT A LOT OF POLLS
TODAY.
>> YEAH.
>> AND JUST GO THROUGH THE STATE
OF THE RACE.
WE’RE ONE WEEK AWAY.
CAN YOU BELIEVE WE’RE ONE WEEK
AWAY FROM THIS ELECTION.
>> I CAN’T, I CAN’T.
I KNOW SOME HEALTH OFFICIALS IN
ALLENTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA, THAT
WISHED HE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE
HELL OUT OF THERE BEFORE HE
ARRIVED YESTERDAY.
GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO
"MORNING JOE."
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27th ALONG WITH
JOE, WILLIE AND ME, WE HAVE
WHITE HOUSE REPORTER FOR THE
ASSOCIATED PRESS, JONATHAN
LEMIRE.
AND NBC NEWS AND MSNBC
CONTRIBUTOR SHAWNA THOMAS IS
WITH US.
TODAY AS JOE SAID, EXACTLY ONE
WEEK UNTIL ELECTION DAY.
THE PRESIDENT WILL BE OUT ON THE
VIRUS SPREADING CAMPAIGN TRAIL
SET TO HOLD RALLIES IN LANSING,
MICHIGAN, WEST SALEM, WISCONSIN,
AS WELL AS OMAHA, NEBRASKA
BEFORE HEADING OUT TO SPEND THE
NIGHT IN LAS VEGAS AHEAD OF A
RALLY IN NEVADA ON WEDNESDAY.
HIS OPPONENT, JOE BIDEN --
>> BY THE WAY, BY THE WAY, CAN
WE LOOK AT THAT PICTURE RIGHT
THERE?
>> THIS IS NUTS.
>> LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF THE
CROWDS.
I WAS TALKING LAST NIGHT TO A
TOP DEMOCRATIC OPERATIVE WHO HAS
PROBABLY TAKEN MORE POLLS THAN
ANYBODY AND -- OVER THE PAST
YEAR, AND A YEAR AND A HALF, AND
PROBABLY KNOWS VOTERS BETTER
THAN ANYBODY.
HE SAID, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER YOU
GUYS SHOW PICTURES OF THESE HUGE
CROWDS YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE HOW
MUCH IT HELPS JOE BIDEN.
WHENEVER SENIORS SEE PICTURES OF
THOSE HUGE CROWDS, DONALD TRUMP,
HE THINKS IT’S 2016.
HE THINKS HE’S RUNNING AS A
REALITY TV HOST THAT CAN GO UP
THERE AND DO WHATEVER HE WANTS
TO DO.
HE SAID, OUR POLLS SHOW
REPEATEDLY THAT EVERYTHING HE
THINKS THAT IS HELPING HIM
ESPECIALLY THESE BIG RALLIES ARE
CAUSING HIM GRAVE POLITICAL
HARM.
SO PLEASE, KEEP THOSE RALLY
PICTURES UP AS LONG AS YOU CAN
BECAUSE EVERYBODY EVERY RALLY
REINFORCES OUR MESSAGE THAT
DONALD TRUMP IS NOT RESPONSIBLE
ENOUGH TO BE PRESIDENT DURING A
PANDEMIC THAT’S KILLED OVER
225,000 AMERICANS.
>> WELL, THE DISSONANCE IS THAT
THE COUNTRY IS TAKING THIS
SERIOUSLY.
THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE
COUNTRY TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY
BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND HOW DIRE
IT IS.
THEY HAVE SEEN THEIR -- THEY
LOST THEIR JOBS, SOMEBODY IN
THEIR FAMILY HAS DIED OR THE
KIDS ARE HOME FROM SCHOOL,
LEARNING ON COMPUTERS.
THE COUNTRY GETS IT BECAUSE WE
HAVE BEEN AT IT SINCE FEBRUARY.
THE PRESIDENT CLEARLY DOES NOT
GET OR JUST DOES NOT WANT TO GET
IT.
THEY’RE STILL MOCKING MASKS.
MARK MEADOWS DID THAT AGAIN
YESTERDAY.
MOCKED JOE BIDEN FOR WEARING A
MASK.
THEY’RE STILL HOLDING THE HUGE
RALLIES AND MITIGATION IS KIND
OF GONE, SO LET’S AHEAD TO
VACCINES AND TREATMENTS AND
THERAPEUTICS.
SO THEY’RE TOTALLY OUT OF LINE.
BY THE WAY, THEY HAVE BEEN FOR
HOW LONG NOW, SEVEN MONTHS WITH
HOW SERIOUSLY THE COUNTRY TAKES
IT.
AND HOW UNSERIOUS THE WHITE
HOUSE EITHER IS OR IS PRETENDING
TO BE FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.
JOE BIDEN -- GO AHEAD.
>> NO, DID MARK MEADOWS REALLY
MOCK SOMEBODY WEARING A MASK
YESTERDAY?
>> HE WAS ASKED YESTERDAY ABOUT
WHETHER HE WAS WAVING THE WHITE
FLAG BECAUSE OF HIS COMMENTS TO
JAKE TAPPER ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE
TO CONTROL THE VIRUS.
AND HE SAID THE ONLY PERSON
WAVING A WHITE FLAG IS JOE BIDEN
OR MAYBE HE’S WEARING THAT WHITE
MASK HE WEARS ALL OF THE TIME.
SO GOING OUT OF HIS WAY TO MOCK
JOE BIDEN FOR WEARING A MASK
WHICH ANTHONY FAUCI, DR.
REDFIELD, ANYBODY YOU CAN LISTEN
TO EVEN INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE
TELLS YOU IS THE KEY TO GETTING
OUR ARMS AROUND THIS.
>> I MEAN, THE STUPIDITY -- I
MEAN, WHAT EXACTLY DOES HE THINK
HAPPENS AFTER DONALD TRUMP
LEAVES OFFICE?
WHO WANTS TO HIRE SOMEBODY
THAT’S DEFILED THEMSELVES AS
MUCH AS HE HAS, THAT’S SHAMED
HIMSELF I --
>> EVEN BEFORE TRUMP.
>> MAKING -- MAKING A MOCKERY
OF -- JUST MAKING A JOKE OUT OF
HIMSELF.
TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
YOU LOOK FUNNY IN THE MASK,
JAKE.
THEN YESTERDAY, STILL, AFTER THE
WHITE HOUSE SUPER SPREADER EVENT
WHICH OF COURSE THEY HAD ANOTHER
ONE LAST NIGHT.
YOU HAVE TO WONDER, AMY CONEY
BARRETT, REALLY?
YOU’RE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE
SCENE OF THE CRIME WHERE THE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT WAS
ACTUALLY PUT AT RISK BY YOUR
FIRST EVENT?
COULD YOU NOT JUST SAY THANK
YOU, BUT NO THANK YOU, MR.
PRESIDENT.
I’M GOING TO BE QUIETLY SWORN IN
BY CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS, IT
WILL BE SAFER THAT WAY.
REALLY?
I DON’T -- NOT ONLY DO I NOT
UNDERSTAND THAT, MOST AMERICANS
LOOK AT THAT PICTURE AND SAY,
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
AND WILLIE, AGAIN, THESE ARE
PEOPLE WHO ARE RUNNING AROUND
ACTING AS IF 225,000 DEAD
AMERICANS IS A JOKE.
>> ALMOST 227.
>> IT’S A PUNCH LINE, THAT
WEARING MASKS WHICH ONE DOCTOR
AFTER ANOTHER, ONE SCIENTIST
AFTER ONE, EPIDEMIOLOGISTS AFTER
ANOTHER SAYS, HEY, IF YOU WANT
TO SAVE YOUR LIVES, IF YOU WANT
TO SAVE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE
AROUND YOU, AND IF YOU WANT TO
GET BACK TO WORK, IF YOU WANT TO
GET YOUR BUSINESSES OPENED BACK
UP, WEAR A MASK.
SEEMS PRETTY SIMPLE BUT FOR SOME
REASON, DONALD TRUMP AND ALL OF
HIS STOOGES WHO ARE TRYING TO
EMULATE HIM, THEY’RE MAKING IT
SO MUCH HARDER THAN IT NEEDS TO
BE.
AND WHO ARE THE PEOPLE WHO
SUFFER OF COURSE WE HAVE SAID IT
BEFORE, THE SENIORS WHO DIE, THE
SENIORS WHO GET VERY SICK AND
PEOPLE WITH UNDERLYING
CONDITIONS WHO GET VERY SICK AND
YES, SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS WHO
CONTINUE TO SUFFER BECAUSE
DONALD TRUMP HAS MISHANDLED THIS
SO BADLY OVER THE PAST SEVEN,
EIGHT MONTHS.
>> AND HE’S STILL SAYING AT HIS
RALLIES HE’LL PROBABLY SAY AGAIN
TODAY, WE HAVE TURNED THE
