"Steve, Wall Street clearly does not like unpredictability or uncertainty. No one does. But on the global stage, there's no way of telling how long we will be actively involved on a daily basis in a war in Iran. What happens if this war lengthens out in terms of the United States' presence and participation in that war? What happens to those charts behind you right now?" asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of economic analyst Steve Rattner who joins Morning Joe to discuss the economic impact of the U.S. conflict with Iran. Listen to Rattner’s response here about the impact so far and the potential for oil prices, inflation, interest rates and the stock market.

"Jake, does it bother you that so far in all of the explanations that the president has given in various phone calls to members of the media and off-the-cuff remarks at Medal of Honor ceremonies about the war, that there are three key questions that the military wonders about when it comes to fighting a war: When is the war going to start? Where are we going to fight it? And the big question that hasn't been answered by the president of the United States to the people of this country: Why are we there? Why? What is the objective? Does that bother you that there's been no outline of an objective here?” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of former national security advisor Jake Sullivan who joins Morning Joe to discuss the Trump Administration’s mixed messaging on the country’s current war with Iran. Watch Sullivan’s response here.

"Senator Durbin, today Secretary Noem, Kristi Noem, is scheduled to appear before the Judiciary Committee. I'm wondering if you can ascertain or try and find out from her exactly how much money was spent to individual, potential recruits to ICE—$50,000 dollars, I’m told, was offered as bonuses to many of them. How much money in total was spent? What their training was? And why no one has cooperated with the Minneapolis Police Department in a homicide case?, asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) during a Morning Joe conversation about Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which marks Noem’s first congressional appearance since the shooting deaths of two protesters, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. Hear what Durbin has to say on MS NOW.
