Watch: MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' cuts to commercial as squabble breaks out over Joe Biden

For the second time in a week, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough got into an argument with one of his regular "Morning Joe" panelists which led, in this case, to co-host Mika Brzezinski interceding and taking the show to commercial.

Last week Scarborough got into an argument with fellow MSNBC host Michael Steele over the effectiveness of being civil with Donald Trump with Steele at one time telling his counterpart, "I'm telling you something you seem to forget –– so, let me make my point, you may not like it, but I'm going to make it."

On Wednesday it was Scarborough battling with Financial Times columnist and Morning Joe regular Ed Luce over President Joe Biden's capabilities in his final days in office, with Scarborough insisting his interview with the outgoing president showed a man more than able to fulfill his duties and Luce pointing out that Biden has slipped.

"Did he occasionally jumble a few words or a few names? Yes," Scarborough conceded. "But he corrected those as well. So after two, two and a half, three hours of it with him in the White House, going all over the White House, I did not see that."

With Luce responding that foreign leaders he spoke with "did not see that," he continued, "I think that people, you know, who are getting older and have waning energy and vitality can go in and out. They can have strong moments, they can have weak moments. I think, though, the key thing here was that the debate last June occurred several days after Biden had been traveling and wasn't considered to be shocking by a lot of the people I know in various circles around the White House, that that was the performance that reflected Biden's mental powers at the time. so I think the American public had it right."

"I'm sorry, wait, wait, I've got to interrupt you again and again, and you and I are very good friends but I've got to stop you right there," Scarborough interjected. "I've had in-depth conversations with people in the White House before, during and after who are still trying to figure out what happened that night."

"Joe, I'm not making stuff up here. I talk to people who know Biden as well, and I can assure you, I had many conversations over the previous couple of years about his declining energy, his declining memory, his increasingly short daily schedule to accommodate his declining memory and energy. So, you know, I'm not pulling this out of thin air," Luce protested.

"No! We're not saying that," the Morning Joe host exclaimed.

"Let me interrupt again," co-host Mika Brzezinski said as she stepped into the fray. "We're going to keep you here and continue this conversation after a quick break, because I think one of the answers is that two things can be true at the same time, but let's take a quick break."

Following the commercial break, Scarborough issued a mea culpa and stated he in no way was accusing his guest of making his story up.
