MSNBC\u2019s Joe Scarborough and Mike Brzezinski met with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago this week to discuss unifying the country.<\/p>\n

The married couple, whose show Morning Joe\u00a0<\/em>focuses almost entirely on railing against the incoming president, said they were invited to Florida and had a discussion with Trump about how to move forward.<\/p>\n

Here is a transcript of their comments:<\/p>\n

\n

MIKA: <\/strong>I\u2019ve heard from so many people, from political leaders to regular citizens, deeply dismayed by several of President-elect Trump\u2019s cabinet selections, and they are scared. Last Thursday, we expressed our own concerns on this broadcast and even said we would appreciate the opportunity to speak with the President-elect himself.<\/p>\n

On Friday, we were given the opportunity to do just that. Joe and I went to Mar-a-Lago to meet personally with President-elect Trump. It was the first time we have seen him in seven years.<\/p>\n

JOE: <\/strong>Now, we talked about a lot of issues, including abortion, mass deportation, threats of political retribution against political opponents, and media outlets. We talked about that a good bit. And it\u2019s going to come as no surprise to anybody who watches this show, has watched it over the past year or over the past decade, that we didn\u2019t see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues, and we told him so.<\/p>\n

MIKA:<\/strong> What we did agree on was to restart communications. My father often spoke with world leaders, with whom he and the United States profoundly disagreed. That\u2019s a task shared by reporters and commentators alike.<\/p>\n

We had not spoken to President Trump since March of 2020, other than a personal call Joe made to Trump on the morning after the attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania. In this meeting, President Trump was cheerful. He was upbeat. He seemed interested in finding common ground with Democrats on some of the most divisive issues. And for those asking why we would go speak to the president-elect during such fraught times, especially between us, I guess I would ask back, why wouldn\u2019t we?<\/p>\n

Five years of political warfare has deeply divided Washington and the country. We have been as clear as we know how in expressing our deep concerns about President Trump\u2019s actions and words in the coarsening of public debate.<\/p>\n

But for nearly 80 million Americans, election denialism, public trials, January 6th were not as important as the issues that moved them to send Donald Trump back to the White House with their vote. Joe and I realized it\u2019s time to do something different, and that starts with not only talking about Donald Trump, but also talking with him.<\/p>\n

JOE:<\/strong> As somebody close to Donald Trump told me this past weekend, this is a president who\u2019s not seeking re-election, so maybe, just maybe, now could be the time for both parties to get to work. I know, given the jarring headlines that we read every day, that may seem like a stretch, but think about this. Of the 150 million votes cast, Donald Trump got 50 percent. Kamala Harris got about 49 percent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So I don\u2019t know. It seems to make sense for leaders of both parties to seek common ground, if it\u2019s possible at all. I will tell you, a lot of Democratic leaders we\u2019ve talked to this past week, since the election, have told Mika and me it\u2019s time for a new approach.<\/p>\n

And when I say top Democrats, I mean top Democrats. They said we\u2019re open, and this was before we talked to Donald Trump, they said, listen, we\u2019re open to working with the incoming president if the incoming president is open to working with us.<\/p>\n

MIKA:<\/strong> Yeah, the question is, though, how do we get there? Hyperbole and personal attacks will not work. My hair on fire doesn\u2019t work. We\u2019ve all seen that. What also does not work is threatening political opponents with arrest, harassment, and even jail. That is a failed path. Recent history has proven that impeachments and trials turn those on trial into political martyrs and only make them more popular with the American people. Just ask Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

We know this will be a consequential presidency. The question is whether it will be constructive. It will take a new approach from all sides, from both parties, and a leader who can bring them together. And only time will tell if Donald Trump is that leader. As for us, we also let him know that we will continue to speak truth to power and push back hard when called for, as we have with all presidents<\/p>\n

JOE:<\/strong> Don\u2019t be mistaken. We\u2019re not here to defend or normalize Donald Trump. We\u2019re here to report on him and to hopefully provide you insights that are going to better equip all of us in understanding these deeply unsettling times. And I am reminded of what Marty Barron, legendary editor, told his Washington Post reporters back in the first term. We\u2019re not going to war. We\u2019re going to work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While their intentions may seem pure, it is likely that MSNBC need Joe and Mika to repair relations with Trump and his voters in order to revive the network\u2019s fortunes.<\/p>\n

According to recent data, their viewing figures have fallen by almost 40 percent since Trump\u2019s victory, and its owners at Comcast are now looking to potentially offload the company at a discounted price.<\/p>\n
