Thanks to one surgeon who dared to dream, we now know what happens when you implant teeth into chickens.

On Monday’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough predicted that the U.S. conflict with Iran would end in “disaster,” repeatedly warning that American intervention abroad “always leads to disaster” before concluding ominously: “This won’t end well either.” Scarborough was reacting to comments on Fox by Senator Lindsey Graham, who enthusiastically praised President Trump’s foreign policy and suggested the administration was reshaping the world order. Graham said that Trump was “resetting the world in a way nobody could have dreamed of a year ago,” even comparing him to “Ronald Reagan plus.” Scarborough Predicts Iran War “Disaster” pic.twitter.com/bJeltU5p0W — Mark Finkelstein (@markfinkelstein) March 9, 2026 Co-host Mika Brzezinski responded with a sarcastic aside. Noting Graham’s “Free Cuba” hat, she said she felt like there was another hat missing: a “FAFO” hat. The acronym stands for “F*** Around and Find Out.” Mika's implication was unmistakable: by confronting Iran, the United States is the one that will “find out.” Moments later, as the conversation turned more serious, Brzezinski interjected: “This isn’t a game.” Scarborough agreed with that premise, but used the moment to launch a sweeping critique of what he portrayed as reckless American foreign policy. “The thing is, Mika, this isn’t Ronald Reagan plus,” Scarborough said. “This is Wilsonian adventurism at its very worst.” According to Scarborough, attempts to confront hostile regimes or promote democracy abroad inevitably end badly. “That is a recipe for disaster. That is a recipe for American weakness,” he warned. Scarborough then broadened his argument, claiming that whenever the United States embraces muscular foreign policy, catastrophe follows. “This sort of drunk on power, this sort of drunk on militarism, always leads to disaster,” he insisted. To make his case, Scarborough invoked past conflicts. “Ask LBJ in 1965. Ask George W. Bush in 2003, 2004. Ask Barack Obama about Libya, how that ended up going,” Scarborough said. “It never ends well. This won’t end well either.” Scarborough also referred to America’s position after the collapse of the Soviet Union. “We were powerful,” he said, referring to the period after the Soviet Union collapsed. “Well, then we went into Afghanistan and Iraq.” Scarborough spoke of the Soviet collapse almost as if it were an accident—something that simply happened, leaving the United States temporarily dominant. Missing from that telling is Ronald Reagan’s massive military buildup, which placed enormous pressure on the Soviet system and helped accelerate its collapse. Reagan confronted the Soviet Union—the world’s only other superpower at the time—and famously challenged it with the words: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” Scarborough’s broader argument also rests on a familiar premise: because some previous wars turned out badly, future conflicts must inevitably do the same. Military historians often warn that generals are prone to “fighting the last war,” assuming future conflicts will resemble the ones that came before. Scarborough seemed to apply the same logic to American foreign policy. For Joe Scarborough, the outcome of America’s war with Iran seems settled: “disaster.” But is Scarborough predicting that disaster—or rooting for it? MS NOW Morning Joe 3/9/26 7:00 am EDT LINDSEY GRAHAM: I'm not looking a fair fight. If we get in a fight, I want to win it. I want to win it quick. I'm in Miami. You see this hat? Free Cuba. Stay tuned. The liberation of Cuba is upon us. It's just a matter of time now.  You see this hat? Make Iran Great. President Trump said the only way to make Iran great is for the people to take over.  We're marching through the world. We're cleaning out the bad guys. We're going to have relationships with new people that will make us prosperous and safe.  I've never seen anybody like it. This is Ronald Reagan plus. Donald Trump is resetting the world in a way nobody could have dreamed of a year ago.  He is the greatest Commander-in-Chief of all time. Our military is the best of all time. Iran is going down and Cuba is next.  MIKA BRZEZINSKI: I feel like there's a FAFO hat there, missing.  JOE SCARBOROUGH: The thing is, Mika, this isn't Ronald Reagan plus.  MIKA: This isn't a game.  SCARBOROUGH: This is Wilsonian adventurism at its very worst. Something that conservatives, real conservatives like me, have long feared and loathed. Sort of this Wilsonian idea, this George W. Bush idea in his second inauguration, that we're going to export democracy to all four corners of the globe.  Let me tell you something. That is a recipe for disaster. That is a recipe for American weakness. I have been saying for years now, because I got sick and tired of hearing people tear down the United States of America because a Democrat was in power or because a Republican was in power.  I've said for years, America is the most powerful country militarily, economically, culturally, when you look at soft power, technologically, in just about every measure.  Just like we were at the turn of the century, in 2000, with a collapsed Soviet Union. We were powerful. Well, then we went into Afghanistan and Iraq. A lot of people, you know, we understand Afghanistan, but then we had this sort of talk that you hear from Lindsey Graham about, you know, this military adventurism. We're on the march. We're going across the world.  No, no, that didn't work for George W. Bush. It's not going to work for this president. And this sort of American adventurism, this sort of jingoism, where you're saying, Let's invade Venezuela. Let's invade Cuba. Let's invade Iran. Let's march through the world and invade all the bad guys.  Time and time again, it has proven to be a trap. America is strong when America is restrained.  There are times we have to send our troops to war. I completely understand that. But this sort of drunk on power, this sort of drunk on militarism, always leads to disaster.  Ask LBJ in 1965. Ask George W. Bush in 2003, 2004. Ask Barack Obama about Libya, how that ended up going. It never ends well. This won't end well either. 

U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is a vociferous opponent of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, sometimes referred to as the SAVE America Act, which would require individuals to provide proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections.The unpopular senator has characterized the act — the passage of which President Donald Trump has made a condition of his ratification of other bills — as "Jim Crow 2.0," a "fringe piece of legislation," and as "extreme as it gets."'Americans see the hypocrisy.'Schumer was not, however, always opposed to measures protecting the benefits owed only to American citizens.Decades-old footage has once again gone viral online, showing Schumer previously making the case that valid U.S. identification ensures against rampant fraud by noncitizens.When discussing a proposed amendment to the Republican-sponsored Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act in March 1996, then-Rep. Chuck Schumer stated, "Let's admit the truth: Everywhere people go, they're asked for a Social Security card. In fact, one way to prove you’re a bona fide person who can have a job is to ask for a driver’s license and a Social Security card."“This is an anti-fraud amendment. All over, where we go, people say, 'Well, why can't you stop illegal immigrants or others from coming here?' And the number-one answer we give our constituents is, 'When they come here, they can get jobs, get benefits against the law because of fraud,'" said Schumer.RELATED: Illegal alien allegedly voted in 2024 federal election, when Trump and Kamala were on the ballot Photo by JOSEPH PREZIOSO/AFP via Getty ImagesIn the video — an excerpt of which the White House shared online last month — the Democrat also blasts opposition to the "anti-fraud measure."Responding to the remarks made by the Schumer of yesteryear, Sen. Ashley Moody (R-Fla.) wrote, "Americans see the hypocrisy. Pass the Save America Act.""The only thing that's changed here is Democrat messaging," wrote Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.). "EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON recognizes that securing U.S. elections is commonsense."North Carolina Rep. Mark Harris (R) urged Schumer, "Listen to your past self.""I guess new Chuck Schumer changed his mind," wrote Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah).On Sunday, Schumer recycled his "Jim Crow 2.0" talking point and claimed that the SAVE Act would "disenfranchise tens of millions of people.""If Trump is saying he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act is passed, then so be it: there will be total gridlock in the Senate," continued Schumer. "Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances."A Harvard CAPS/Harris poll from February revealed that a supermajority — 71% — of U.S. voters support the SAVE Act, including 50% of Democrats. When polled on the particulars of the legislation, 75% of U.S. voters said they supported proof of citizenship; 81% said they supported voter ID; and 80% said they supported states removing noncitizens from voter rolls.The poll also found that 85% of respondents, including a majority across all political parties, said that only American citizens should be able to vote.Like Blaze News?
