>> do, there is another governor in the news. it goes in the category of men saying incredibly stupid things.
>> that is my category! that is a big category.
>> it is.
>> computer jones , joe scarborough .
>> it's in the jones category. i don't even know what to say.
>> at least he is not an elected official.
>> i know this person runs the state of mississippi. fueling controversy about the role of mothers in the workplace . this governor blames them for america 's education woes. mississippi governor phil bryant made this questionable remark yesterday at a "the washington post " event.
>> how did america get so mediocre?
>> you want me to tell it the truth? and i tell the truth. you know, i think parents became -- both parents started working and the mom is in the workplace . it's not a bad thing. i will get in trouble. i can just see. i can see the e-mails tomorrow! but now both parents are working. they are pursuing their careers. that's a great american story now that women are certainly in the workplace .
>> so it's the mother's place to teach them to read?
>> no, no, no. but i think there was that loving, nurturing opportunity that both parents have a little bit of time.
>> moments after those comments, his responsibility provided backlash and that's what we are giving you now. commended the advancement of women in the workplace . mika?
>> america is mediocre because both parents work, because women work?
>> i like the question, willie. why do we suck? i didn't know we did! powerful country economically.
>> if we do it would be because of the men who cannot handle women in the workplace and i think he might be one of them. seriously. that is what has really been revealed in this conversation over the past few weeks about women as bread winners and jones and this governor. it's women are bread winners and women can't handle it. they really don't know what to do with themselves. they have got nothing left. they bring very little to the table because they can't multitask and now they are really -- it's being revealed and they can't handle it so it comes out in completely ridiculous erratic, stupid conversations like this!
>> there is a social aspect which you're touching on and also the economic relate. most of the women in the workplace are because of necessity not because they don't want to nurture and love their children but because they have to bring home the bacon.
>> and being rooted out now because the economy suffers. it's really bad!
>> you see michelle obama .
>> no, i didn't see that story. it's not so good. so they was mad at a protester.
>> i was just going to say, she has got no problem being in the workplace .
>> that's right.
>> she is tough.
>> she is a very modern woman, actually.
>> yes, she is.
>> you're a modern woman.
>> wow!
>> is that right?
>> all right, i'll do it.
>> two very modern women here.
>> very deeply modern.
>> a couple of cave men.
>> there are a lot of cave men coming out of the shadows, seriously.
>> true.
>> mike and i are in the conversation?
>> you are some of the best of the best if i may be very real about it.
>> they are the best of the best ?
>> yes, mike barnicle is.
>> some men --
>> you make fun but actually quite seriously.
>> if you listen, if you listen, if you pay attention to the way the world works today and has worked for some time, some men, maybe a lot of men actually, the higher they get in whatever industry they are in, fear the fact and i think it's a fact that women are better balanced than men. they have better judgment about things than a lot of men and i think it's not an economic thing. i don't think men fear women 's economic power but they feel their balance. women are balanced and men aren't. look at me. i'm unbalanced.
>> willie, do you think mika is balanced?
>> incredibly so.
>> that was a correct answer! coming up on " morning joe ," former white house press secretary robert gibbs . also nbc news political director chuck to do.
>> and continuing the conversation, business leader karen fineerman will be here to navigate the challenges of balancing work at home and all of these really dumb men!
>> later, tennis champion monica seles will be here.
>>> up next the top stories and the political playbook but, first, bill karins, with a check of the forecast.
>> good morning. we found out the tornado on friday in oklahoma near el reno was an ef-5. 200-mile-per-hour winds and at one point 1.6 miles wide -- 2.6 miles wide and making it the largest confirmed tornado to ever travel on the planet so that is how much of a huge story that was. this morning, oklahoma city they can't get a break. yesterday morning, they got nailed and hit about the another tropical storm an hour ago and another one building out to the northwest of town. that has been the case little further to the south too and up in areas of kansas. we will do it again this afternoon. no tornadoes, i don't think, at least not many. if they happen they will be out toward lubbock. oklahoma city and little rock downpours and damaging winds. we are watching the gulf of mexico . if this does get a name it would be likely either subtropical storm andrea or tropical storm andrea . it will not bring a lot of damage but a ton of rain up the east coast the next couple of days. that is the potential down there for some flooding, maybe in areas of georgia or north florida . for the most part, just a soggy forecast. that will include the east coast as we go through thursday into friday. enjoy today. we are looking at a gorgeous almost like a spring or fall-type day in many areas of the northeast and mid-atlantic. it won't last. you're watching " morning joe ," brewed
