Joe Scarborough: Knowing How Washington Works | SALT Talks #117

Joe Scarborough is the co-host of MSNBC’s "Morning Joe" alongside Mika Brzezinski - a show with a reported increased viewership of 113% by Variety. "Morning Joe" starts each weekday conducting interviews with top newsmakers and discussing the day's headlines. The New York Times ranked Morning Joe as one of today’s top morning news shows and has praised Joe and Mika's natural repartee and off-the-cuff commentary. The New Yorker also described the show as "appallingly entertaining.” In 2016, Joe, joined by co-host Mika, was inducted into the Cable Hall of Fame. Joe was named to the prestigious “Time 100” list of the world’s most influential people, and Vanity Fair named both Joe and Mika to their 2012 list of “Top Media Power Players.” In addition to his television career, Joe is a two-time New York Times best-selling author. His first work, "Rome Wasn’t Burnt in a Day", predicted the collapse of the Republican majority and U.S. economy due to his party's reckless spending. His second work, "The Last Best Hope: Restoring Conservatism and America's Promise", draws on the forgotten genius of conservatism to offer a road map for the movement and the country. Joe also frequently contributes political opinion pieces to The Washington Post. ————————————————————————— To learn more about this episode, including podcast transcripts and show notes, visit salt.org/talks Moderated by Anthony Scaramucci.
