'Flabbergasted' analyst changes subject to rip 'unserious' Pete Hegseth: 'It's just weird'

03/13/26 3:21 PM

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s combative press conference at the Pentagon on Friday morning was on the mind of MS NOW contributor Sam Stein hours later when he made an appearance to discuss Donald Trump’s next overseas target.Hegseth spent a great portion of his thirty-minute-plus appearance attacking reporters and dictating what headlines he thinks they should be reporting, while accusing them of a lack of patriotism.Stein admitted he was still reeling from what he witnessed.Asked by host Jonathan Lemire about Donald Trump’s military adventurism in Iran and Venezuela, and threats aimed at Cuba, Stein took an off-ramp instead."Yeah, and I just want to take a moment to talk about the defense secretary's claims, because I watched this morning's press conference and it was flabbergasting, honestly,” the grimacing Stein told the “Morning Joe” host. “I mean, there's a few things that he said that just jump out. He called the new ayatollah the quote, ‘new so-called not-so-supreme leader.’ I mean, what are we doing here?” he asked. “He outlined plans to intensify the bombing of Iran and then simultaneously criticized news networks for running banners saying that the Middle East war is intensifying — totally contradictory. He urged CNN to get new ownership.”“I mean, this is a serious moment,” he lamented. “Obviously, an incredible human suffering, global economic ramifications. And we have someone in charge who is using these press briefings in a very unserious way, not trying to be moral about it, but it's just weird.” - YouTube youtu.be

'Going to slap us in the pocketbook': Trump alarms supply chain analyst with latest move

03/15/26 7:52 PM

President Donald Trump's latest move in the war in Iran alarmed a supply chain analyst on Sunday. Over the weekend, Trump called on other countries to help the U.S. clear the Strait of Hormuz, which the Iranian regime has fortified in response to the coordinated bombing campaign conducted by the U.S. and Israel that began in late February. About 20% of global liquefied natural gas and oil trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran has said U.S. and Israeli ships can no longer transit the waterway. That call for reinforcements came as U.S. forces struck Kharg Island, a main oil export hub for the Iranian regime. Iranian forces have also attacked multiple ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz, according to reports. CNBC Supply Chain Analyst Lori Ann LaRocco warned in an interview on Sunday that the Trump administration's inability to make the Strait of Hormuz safe for international trade could have long-lasting implications. "A lot of people that I've talked to, a lot of tanker owners, they're very afraid of being a target," LaRocco told MS NOW's Alex Witt on Sunday. "We've already seen a tanker on fire. This is not a very easy remedy."LaRocco mentioned that prices for goods ranging from fertilizer to semiconductors have skyrocketed due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. "There's so much that we're not even thinking about that's going to slap us in the pocketbook, not only now, but in the months to come," LaRocco said.

'No!' GOP campaign expert laughs at Jim Jordan as he shoots down gas price claim

03/13/26 5:30 PM

Longtime campaign strategist Mark McKinnon, who advised former President George W. Bush and the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), could not contain his laughter after watching Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) being interviewed on CNN late Thursday.Appearing on MS NOW with host Chris Jansing, McKinnon watched Jordan tell CNN's Kasie Hunt, “President Trump is committed to achieving that [Iran regime change] goal, and if that means prices go up for a time, I think Americans understand, we can live with that .But, in the end, we want all that to happen, and we want it all to happen in as quick a time as it possibly can.”After sharing the clip, Jansing asked her guest, “But with gas now up 65 cents a gallon and no end in sight, do you think Americans understand?”“No!” McKinnon exclaimed while laughing. “I think Americans have a very low pain threshold; short-term pain, mid-term pain, long-term pain. Americans are not very good at sacrificing anything, particularly for a conflict that they're not supporting going in, much less four weeks into it now. So that's a real problem for the administration.”“And, you know, it's the Iranians are reading the American media, and they know that politicians react to their voters and their voters are reacting to the price of oil,” he elaborated. “And I just — it's astonishing to me that the general there said the only thing preventing [Strait of Hormuz shipping] traffic is Iran. Yeah. The place where bombing is preventing it, and they know it, and they know that they can just continue this.” - YouTube youtu.be

'Open split' in White House as insiders spill exasperation with Trump

03/16/26 12:13 PM

There is growing frustration within Donald Trump’s White House over the way the war in Iran is going, and insiders are going behind the president’s back to call reporters and complain about him.Reporting on MS NOW’s "Morning Joe," journalist Katty Kay reported that European leaders have been telling the president he missed the perfect opportunity to declare victory in Iran and dial back the attacks.“I was told by a senior European intelligence official this weekend that the best time for Donald Trump to have tried to call victory and end early was actually last Monday or Tuesday, and that now it's getting harder for him to do that,” she told the panel. “And you're seeing these splits begin to appear in the White House quite openly in public,” she elaborated. “I mean, David Sachs, the White House advisor, was on the ‘All-In’ podcast over the weekend, saying it out loud that there are two factions.”“Now there is a faction that is pushing the president to escalate, and there is a faction that is pushing the president to de-escalate. The tech bros and the vice president seem to be in the latter camp,” she continued. “But the idea that there are two camps in the White House and that one of those camps is now openly talking about this in public and openly reaching out to journalists to say, we are trying to get the president to find an off ramp, but there are people who are pushing the president to escalate much further, significantly further.” - YouTube youtu.be
