Overheard on Morning Joe

Follow the money... to cut spending

Joe Scarborough: "I'm hearing a lot of Republican freshmen say 'We are going to cut all these programs...' They're going to slash critical programs and they're not gonna touch the Pentagon? They're not gonna touch Social Security? They're not gonna touch Medicare? You can't do it! That's where they money is." Watch the discussion.

Is GOP losing momentum with voters?

Fmr. George W. Bush Senior Adviser Karen Hughes reflects: "I remember in the fall of 2008, the meltdown on Wall Street... and I called [President Bush] and I said 'What else can happen while you're in office?' And I will never forget his answer: he said 'Well, it is a good thing we're here to deal with it.' I was sort of feeling sorry for him, thinking from September 11th to the financial crisis and, of course, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan." Watch the video.
