'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

'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

'That looks low to me': Nobel Prize winner issues grim warning on Iran war consequences

03/13/26 12:33 PM

A Nobel Prize winner has warned there could be further spikes in the cost of oil, and it would be far worse than predicted. Paul Krugman believes estimates from experts predicting how high the cost of oil will reach could be understating just how expensive it could get. Writing in his recent Substack post, the economist suggested there is a chance that oil prices could spike much higher than either experts or Donald Trump's administration will admit. Krugman claimed, "Given time to adjust, the world can conserve oil in many different ways. For example, gas mileage roughly doubled in the decades that followed the 70s oil shocks — and that was before hybrid and electric vehicles. In the long run, the world economy could make do without Persian Gulf oil, at minimal cost in terms of global GDP."But in the long run we are all dead. In the short run, the economic impact of a sustained loss of Gulf oil could be very ugly. In fact, it would have to get ugly to persuade the world to buy a lot less oil.""I’ve seen some alarmists warn that a long war in the Gulf could lead to oil at $150 a barrel. That looks low to me." Though Krugman's opinion may be a rude awakening for some, the economist believes change will only come if the price hike persuades people to give up driving. He wrote, "Around 20 percent of the world’s normal flow of oil is bottled up inside the Strait of Hormuz — and as we’ve seen in the past day, even tankers and oil facilities inside the Strait are vulnerable to attack. If this blockade persists, it will be a much worse shock to world oil supplies than the 1973 embargo, the 1979 Iranian revolution, or the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.""So what happens if the Strait remains closed for months? It’s a matter of supply and demand. If the quantity of oil supplied to world markets can’t rise — which, as far as we can tell, it won’t until the mullahs decide to let tankers through again — the price of oil will have to rise high enough to reduce the quantity demanded.""And how high would that price have to be? It would have to be high enough to persuade drivers to stop driving, trucks to stop trucking, airlines to stop flying.""In other words, the price of oil would have to rise enough to cause a global economic crisis even though the world is much less oil-dependent than it used to be."
