Tune in on this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough, Jonathan Lemire and Mike Barnicle as they discuss the fallout in the country from the U.S.-Iran war as President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are delivering conflicting messages regarding the duration and objectives of the 11-day-old military conflict. “Let's clear this up with basically getting down to the basics. In the country at large, I would submit that the issue is not necessarily the war. The issue now is gas and groceries—that's on everyone's mind. And the other issue, the one that you just raised, Gerry Baker, talks about it in a great column in the Wall Street Journal. His language, his appearances, doing a weave, describing war, describing combat, international combat, involving multiple countries, in the most aflame region in the world, the Middle East. Gerry Baker writes, ‘the failure to articulate a persuasive and inspiring case not only weakens support at home, our diplomatic efforts overseas, and our war fighting capabilities. The unseemly representation of necessary lethal battle as some sort of video game corrupts our national culture. We can't be expected to raise our eyes to the shining beacon of our noble ideals if we can't see through the acrid smoke of our leaders in temperate, incontinent, infantilizing verbiage.’ And he's talking about the president of the United States and the Secretary of Defense,” says Barnicle as he reads from Wall Street Journal editor at large Gerard Baker’s latest article titled, “In a War of Words, Trump Always Defeats Himself.” Watch the segment here.
