Before we go, you're stranded on a desert island and you can only have one companion.

Your choices are Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, or Jimmy Carter? Who do you choose?

This is the top choice?

Well, I a big Biden.

Biden and I did four bipartisan deals together during the Obama administration.

I consider him a personal friend.

I was the only Republican who went to his son Beau's funeral.

So that would be an easy choice.

I think Biden's that first-rate person.

Yeah, you know, and talking about being the one who went to his son's boat, his son Beau's funeral.

Yeah, as you know, Meek, I mean, that means a world to the president. But that was,

that was a nice back and forth. I also noted yesterday that Senator McConnell also was complimentary

of Joe Biden saying he's doing everything he can do. He can't run the legislative

branch, too. He's negotiating in good faith. So, you know, it's, it's interesting. It's,

as far as, I mean, if you try to make too much out of something like that, then of course,

people go crazy. But it certainly is a nice change. And let's hope, as we try to get a

bipartisan bill, let's hope that all sides will come together. We're going to play more of that

ahead, including Mitch McConnell's reason for not picking Barack Obama. Good morning and welcome to

Morning, Joe. It's Wednesday,

June 30th. With us, we have professor at Princeton University, Eddie Glaw, Jr.

And White House reporter for the Associated Press, Jonathan Lemire.

Both find, fine, I'm fine, both of them. You are? Both of them on a desert island.
