Morning Joe: Huckabee's Comments On #IranDeal 'Deplorable'

By Spencer Raley, July 27, 2015 NewsBusted

On Monday’s edition of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, co-host Mika Brzezinski called presidential candidate Mike Huckabee’s recent comments about the recent Iran deal “ugly, callous, shocking and deeply disturbing,” and angrily declared that this should be a “deal breaker” for his campaign. She goes on to discuss with a panel how the GOP hopeful’s comments are the worst thing anyone has said so far this election cycle.

Brzezinski is referring to recent comments where the former Arkansas governor called out President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, which he claimed would “take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.” Huckabee is a strong opponent of this deal considering Iran is the leading state-sponsor of terrorism and a vocal opponent of Israel's existence. The treaty lifts crippling sanctions off the Middle-Eastern country, limits the United State’s ability to conduct surprise inspections of nuclear facilities, and releases $100 billion in sanctioned funds.

Mika Brzezinski on Hillary’s Emails: Can You Imagine If this Was Dick Cheney? Why Is This Okay?

Mar. 11, 2015



MIKA BRZEZINSKI: If this were Dick Cheney, and he said I have my own email server, and I deleted the emails I wanted to delete, and you guys get the ones that I give you. I’m sorry, there would be... I don’t understand why this is OK. I think the answer is because it is not...

JOE SCARBOROUGH: James Carville says “Look at whitewater. There’s nothing to whitewater.”

How do we know there’s nothing in whitewater? Because the billing records at the heart of whitewater disappeared for two years... Over those two years time, evidence can be destroyed... We don’t know, because this is what the Clintons do.

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: I still think it is a fascinating question, how the Secretary of State literally goes rogue. With her own server in a suburb of New York — a leafy suburb. I mean, OK.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: I guarantee you, other people who act like it’s no big deal — if it were Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, or some of these other people — America would be going crazy.

When Joe's away this is what we get...

Morning Mika's First Hour: Hispanic Activist, Latina Congresswoman, Al Jazeera

Mark Finkelstein, Nov. 21, 2014, Newsbusters

Joe Scarborough isn't exactly the voice of movement conservatism, but with Joe away today, Mika Brzezinski took advantage to flood Morning Joe's first hour with a lopsided liberal lineup of guests supporting President Obama's executive-order amnesty. The first two guests were Javier Palomarez, head of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and Ray Suarez of Al Jazeera [ex of NPR]. A bit later, Dem Rep. Linda Sanchez put in an appearance. No Republican or conservative was given a chance in the first hour to decry the President's diktat. At the top of hour two Mika finally let Matt Lewis of the Daily Caller appear. But far from being a full-throated critic, Lewis said that he favors a path to citizenship, supports the substance of Obama's executive order, and cautioned Republicans against using Obama's own language about the illegality of his act against him. Thanks for nuthin'!

The 77% Lie —And Why Obama Keeps Telling It

April 10, 2014 Equal Pay , Mika Brzezinski 0 Comments

By Larry Elder, Apr. 2. 2014

A quick way to kill debate is to accuse your political adversary of "lying."

Still, it's hard to figure out what else propels President Obama to falsely assert, yet again, that employers rip off female employees by paying them 23 cents less per dollar than men — for doing the same work.

In his last State of the Union address, Obama said:

"Today, women make up about half our workforce. But they still make 77 cents for every dollar a man earns. That is wrong, and in 2014 it's an embarrassment. A woman deserves equal pay for equal work. She deserves to have a baby without sacrificing her job."
See, the president begins the statement with a fact. That is, women on the whole make 77 cents on the dollar compared to the earnings of men, on the whole.

But here, as he has other times, Obama has added for the same work, or, as in this case, "equal pay for equal work." This makes the statement not only flat-out false, but insultingly so.

MSNBC's "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski echoed Obama:
"Of course, women get paid 77 cents for every dollar men earn for the same exact job, so it's something that needs to be rectified, obviously."

(Now, according to the Daily Beast, at $2 million, Mika makes half of what Scarborough makes. Time to hire a new agent perhaps, but it does not excuse falsely telling women that they face a 23-cent ovary discount.)

Even the federal government — that Obama serves as chief executive — knows this is nonsense.

In 2009, the U.S. Department of Labor found that, after controlling for obvious education and job differences, the gender "wage gap" shrank to only 95%. The Labor Department report also noted women often make different choices than men:

"A greater percentage of women than men tend to work part-time. Part-time work tends to pay less than full-time work. A greater percentage of women than men tend to leave the labor force for childbirth, childcare and elder care.

"Some of the wage gap is explained by the percentage of women who were not in the labor force during previous years, the age of women, and the number of children in the home.

"Women, especially working mothers, tend to value 'family friendly' workplace policies more than men. Some of the wage gap is explained by industry and occupation, particularly, the percentage of women who work in the industry and occupation."

A quick way to kill debate is to accuse your political adversary of “lying.”
           
Still, it’s hard to figure out what else propels President Barack Obama to falsely assert, yet again, that employers rip off female employees by paying them 23 cents less per dollar than men -- for doing the same work.
           
In his last State of the Union address, Obama said: “Today, women make up about half our workforce. But they still make 77 cents for every dollar a man earns. That is wrong, and in 2014, it’s an embarrassment. A woman deserves equal pay for equal work. She deserves to have a baby without sacrificing her job.” See, the president begins the statement with a fact. That is, women on the whole make 77 cents on the dollar compared to the earnings of men, on the whole. But here, as he has other times, Obama has added for the same work, or, as in this case, “equal pay for equal work.” This makes the statement not only flat out false, but insultingly so.
           
MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host, Mika Brzezinski, echoed Obama: “Of course, women get paid 77 cents for every dollar men earn for the same exact job, so it's something that needs to be rectified, obviously.” (Now according to the Daily Beast, at $2 million, Mika makes half of what Scarborough makes. Time to hire a new agent perhaps, but it does not excuse falsely telling woman that they face a 23-cent ovary discount.)
           
Even the federal government -- that Obama serves as chief executive -- knows this is nonsense.
           
In 2009, the U.S. Department of Labor found that, after controlling for obvious education and job differences, the gender “wage gap” shrank to only 95 percent. The Labor Dept. report also noted women often make different choices than men: “A greater percentage of women than men tend to work part-time. Part-time work tends to pay less than full-time work. A greater percentage of women than men tend to leave the labor force for childbirth, childcare and elder care. Some of the wage gap is explained by the percentage of women who were not in the labor force during previous years, the age of women, and the number of children in the home. Women, especially working mothers, tend to value ‘family friendly’ workplace policies more than men. Some of the wage gap is explained by industry and occupation, particularly, the percentage of women who work in the industry and occupation.”
           
Even the 5 percent “gap” has a non-exploited explanation. The Labor report said:
           
“Research also suggests that differences not incorporated into the model due to data limitations may account for part of the remaining gap. …[M]uch of the literature, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics Highlights of Women’s Earnings, focus on wages rather than total compensation. Research indicates that women may value non-wage benefits more than men do, and as a result prefer to take a greater portion of their compensation in the form of health insurance and other fringe benefits.”
           
What’s more, three years ago USA Today found that young, childless, unmarried working women ages 22-30 out-earn men of the same age: “Women ages 22 to 30 with no husband and no kids earn a median $27,000 a year, 8 percent more than comparable men in the top 366 metropolitan areas, according to 2008 U.S. Census Bureau data. …”
           
“The trend is especially apparent,” said USA Today, “in cities where minority groups make up more than half the population. Among blacks and Hispanics, women are more than twice as likely as men to earn college degrees.” They found the largest discrepancy in Atlanta, Ga., where woman out-earned men by 21 percent.
           
Again, why does Obama keep pushing this blatant untruth? Four possibilities: stupidity, ignorance, agenda/motive or he chooses to believe it.
           
Possibility number one: Say what you want about Obama, stupid he's not.
           
Possibility number two: Obama lacks access to and understanding of the information? The president of United States does not want for research, data, information, you name it -- he and someday she, has plenty of information.
           
Possibility number three: The falsehood advances Obama’s agenda of combating “inequality” while attacking the GOP for its “war on women.” This helps to maintain the so-called voter "gender gap” with single female voters. Even Obama’s Labor Department noted on the first page of their 93-page report, “The [77-cent] wage gap continues to be used in misleading ways to advance public policy agendas without fully explaining the reasons behind the gap.” Again, first page!
           
Possibility number four: Leftists, like Obama, make a conscious decision to ignore the evidence and choose an outcome consistent with their beliefs.
This is the kind of “cherry-picking” they once accused the anti-science, anti-intellectual George W. Bush of doing, to make a case for the Iraq War. Some people, goes the saying, believe what they see, and others see what they believe.
           

In Obama’s case, we are left with possibilities three and four. One is Machiavellian. The other is a willful disregard of truth. Both are offensive and harmful to the nation.

"MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski Falsely Claims That ‘Women Get Paid 77 Cents’ of What Men Make"

"MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski Falsely Claims That ‘Women Get Paid 77 Cents’ of What Men Make"

March 19, 2014 Equal Pay , Female Workforce 1 Comments
By Jeffrey Meyer
“Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski is an unapologetic liberal so it should come as no surprise that she would spew liberal talking points on a regular basis. Unfortunately, Ms. Brzezinski has taken it upon herself to repeat the liberal myth that women get paid less than men.
On both the March 18 and 19th broadcasts of “Morning Joe” Mika hyped “the issue of equal pay in the workplace” before deceitfully claiming that “of course women get paid 77 cents for every dollar men earn for the same exact job so it's something that needs to be rectified obviously.” [See video below.]
