Viewers were greeted with a shot of the Capitol building and a loop of internal promotions and commercials before a rerun of "Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell" played without explanation. Mika Brzezinski eventually started the show at 6:12 a.m. without providing a clear explanation for the delay. MSNBC declined to comment on the issue.
MSNBC experienced technical difficulties during its morning programming, resulting in reruns and disruptions for viewers. The issues began with garbled audio during "Way Too Early" and continued into "Morning Joe," where a re-airing of Lawrence O'Donnell's show unexpectedly played.

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell suggested that Fox News could have avoided paying $787.5 million in the defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems if their hosts had said "if that's true" after hearing baseless claims about the company's voting machines rigging the election against former President Donald Trump. O'Donnell called these words "legal safe words" that would have prevented the lawsuit, but Fox News executives and anchors were "too stupid" to use them.
