MS NOW's Joe Scarborough and other panelists on "Morning Joe" were astonished by President Donald Trump's admission that he does not think about the impact of the Iran war on Americans' finances.

President Donald Trump is likely planning to fire another one of his cabinet members because they've consistently exhibited a "fatal" flaw, according to one of the president's biographers.

Journalist Michael Wolff, who has written four books about Trump, said during a new episode of "Inside Trump's Head" with co-host Hugh Dougherty, executive editor of The Daily Beast, that Trump will likely fire Secretary of State Marco Rubio because Rubio has upstaged Trump at times.

'Get out of our country!' Far-right pastor goes on racist tirade against Vivek Ramaswamy

Far-right Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon went on a virulently racist tirade this week, proclaiming that Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy must be "demolished" to punish the GOP and warn them off ever nominating "polytheistic, demon-worshiping, cow-worshiping, bare-feet scamming anchor baby Indians" to office again.

The clip, posted to X by Right Wing Watch, showed Webbon getting visibly animated as he worked himself up — and it comes as the GOP is increasingly fractured over Ramaswamy's candidacy. Ramaswamy was named to co-lead President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency alongside Elon Musk after the 2024 election, but dropped out of the role to focus on his gubernatorial campaign.

An ex-GOP congressman couldn't believe what he heard when learning about the Trump family's gold "Made in USA" phone that's starting to sound like it could be a scam.

'He's lost a step': MS NOW analyst pinpoints skill Trump lost that's scaring Republicans

President Donald Trump has lost his ability to do one of the most important parts of his political formula, Vanity Fair's Molly Jong-Fast argued to MS NOW's Ari Melber on Tuesday's edition of "The Beat" — and it's causing his base to fall to pieces.

"So when he runs on, hey, one thing I'm going to do is lower prices or have no forever wars or release the Epstein files — every last big promise, with the exception, perhaps, of hardline immigration, has been contradicted," said Melber.

The question was asked at a time when the most recent economic data showed inflation spiked 3.8% over the last year, the highest reading in multiple years, driven primarily by energy price increases resulting from the war.

Ex-GOP rep exposes one trick Kash Patel resorts to when he's under fire

Former Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA) tore into FBI Director Kash Patel's testimony to the Senate on MS NOW as it unfolded on Tuesday afternoon.

"It is really difficult watching these hearings because it feels like the lawmakers are living in two separate realities," said anchor Katy Tur. "There's the one where Kash Patel is a man facing all of these very serious allegations about his competence. There's the one where we are witnessing politically-motivated investigations into Donald Trump's perceived enemies. And there's the one on the other side where the FBI has never been doing a better job, never been more effective, and is cleaning up the political mess that past administrations have made. It's really confounding."
