On Morning Joe, Jennifer Palmieri, a Morning Joe regular and Obama's former communications director, opposes Joe Scarborough's suggestion of bombing Iranian oil fields in retaliation for the drone attack by Iranian proxies on a US military outpost that killed three US soldiers and wounded dozens of others.

Thursday’s Morning Joe featured a defensive segment where host Joe Scarborough and President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations Richard Haass teamed up to shove blame on Republicans for the recent credit downgrade of the United States received from Fitch.

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell took a brief break from all the Trump indictment news on her Wednesday show to discuss the current state of affairs in Israel.

The Morning Joe panel blasts Donald Trump for hosting at his NJ golf club a tournament sponsored by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund.

On Thursday's Morning Joe, discussing Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the normally mild-mannered Richard Haass of the Council on Foreign Relations declared: "I hate to be so blunt, but the thing Putin is most vulnerable to is DEAD RUSSIAN SOLDIERS. So we have to ensure Ukraine has means to resist."
