Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) warned his Republican colleagues opposing Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) to be speaker of the House would "squander" an opportunity that "the Lord God" had given them to change the country.

During a Sunday interview with Fox News, host Rich Edson asked Babin about Johnson's chances to keep the speakership with a slim Republican majority.

Sarah Isgur, a former Department of Justice spokesperson in the first Trump administration, cast doubt on President-elect Donald Trump's ability to bend the Supreme Court of the United States to his will with a bid to delay a law that would ban the TikTok social media platform.

Although Congress passed legislation giving President Joe Biden the authority to ban TikTok on Jan. 19 before leaving office, Trump has told the high court to delay the law until he takes office a day later. The law requires the president to ban TikTok if its parent company does not break ties with the Chinese Government. Trump has suggested he would find a way around the law after crediting the TikTok platform with helping him win the 2024 election.

During a CNN "State of the Union" discussion on what to expect from Donald Trump's second inaugural address, one panelist took an off-ramp and stated what is more intriguing is how Trump's health and mental state will hold up for the next four years.

Given a chance to address what the future holds, CNN regular Bakari Sellers suggested, Trump is "going to come in very emboldened. I don't think this Donald Trump is going to be similar to the last one at all. I think he realizes he only has four years."

Fox News host Howard Kurtz kicked off his Sunday Media Buzz program by highlighting "statutory rape" allegations against former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), President-elect Donald Trump's failed nominee for attorney general.

In his opening monologue, Kurtz argued a House Ethics Committee report vindicated Gaetz's Republican opponents.

Former National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien explained President-elect Donald Trump's plan to "extract the minerals and oil" from Greenland by making the territory "part of Alaska."

During a Sunday interview on Fox News, host Jason Chaffetz asked O'Brien about Trump's threat to annex Greenland.

During the panel segment of CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday, contributor Bakari Sellers shot down conservative Scott Jennings after the he went on an extended diatribe calling President Joe Biden a "disgrace."

As part of a discussion on Biden's last days in office, Jennings launched into an attack on the president, telling host Dana Bash and the other panelists, "I think he's going to leave office in disgrace. The Hunter Biden pardon was disgraceful."

"He's going to be remembered largely for inflation and for the disastrous Afghanistan pullout," he continued. "And I think as we continue to –– we're just getting the first draft of this now –– but as we continue to learn about the massive cover-up that went on, not about his health, but about his mental acuity to cover that up, the efforts that were undertaken by the White House staff, by his family, not in the last couple of months, but for all four years, I think it's going to be a really ugly chapter."

"It's a diminished presidency because of it, and I think we still don't know the full extent of what they did to try to hide what they've been doing over in the West Wing," he added.

Sellers quickly lectured Jennings, "So I think leaving in disgrace is when you have an insurrection at the Capitol –– like that's leaving in disgrace."

"Being impeached twice is leaving in disgrace, so that's that's a difference," he calmly explained to the stone-faced conservative.

Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) dismissed billionaire Elon Musk's influence with President-elect Donald Trump despite his government contracts by insisting "everyone has a conflict of interest."

During a Sunday interview with CNN, Sununu praised Trump for taking advice from billionaires.

Fox News hosts on Sunday scrambled to calm its MAGA audience after a squabble broke out over billionaire Elon Musk's support for H-1B immigrant vias and the suggestion that Americans were too lazy to do some jobs.

In a social media post over the weekend, President-elect Donald Trump defended Musk's support for the visa program.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Weekend," former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) was asked if there is a viable replacement for House speaker since it appears current Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) may be in trouble with some of his colleagues.

With at least four GOP House members sitting on the fence or outright saying they will not support Johnson in the closely divided legislative chamber, combined with Donald Trump keeping quiet, Walsh stunned the panel by suggesting retired former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for the job since there is no rule against a non-member holding the position.

After Walsh proposed McCarthy, "The Weekend" co-host Michael Steele burst out laughing.

"The best thing Johnson has going for him is the calendar," Walsh continued. "Trump wants to do a bunch of cruel aggressive stuff in January, a speaker's mess messes that up, but Kevin McCarthy. I could see Donald Trump getting behind Kevin McCarthy, what a wonderful turn that would be. I'm just saying."

'How many votes were there to oust Kevin McCarthy?" panelist April Ryan asked. "Do we want to go through that again?"

"Do we want to go through any of this again?" co-host Alicia Menendez interjected as Steele continued to laugh.

During a discussion about how Elon Musk has gone to war with Donald Trump's base over foreign workers, MSNBC host Michael Steele finally had enough and ripped into the tech billionaire who seems to be calling the shots for the president-elect.

As part of his battle to make his point that the U.S. needs more H-1B foreign workers because American workers don't measure up, Musk got into a X spat with a commenter and told them "f--k you in the face" –– which in turn set "The Weekend" co-host off.

"You've got Vivek [Ramaswamy] and Elon sitting here talking about how lazy white men are, just to break this down because that is what they said, that is why everybody got upset," he began.

"Elon may want to go to war on an issue like this but he's going to war against a base that does not want Vivek Ramaswamy here, even though he's a citizen," he laughed.

"Elon Musk is not hiring Donald Trump's base to come work at SpaceX. Can we be clear about that? He's not hiring that base to come work at Google or whatever company he buys next," he continued. "This is the way it is, or am I missing something because that is what I'm reading in that long screed, as my friend Symone [Sanders Townsend] called it yesterday, was laid out by Vivek very clearly stating , and now emphasized by Elon himself, talking about take a big step back and F yourself in the face?"

"Who the hell is this man?" he exclaimed.

"Except an immigrant," he added. "I mean, I don't get it."

At a time when Donald Trump's inner circle should be working on getting his Cabinet nominees primed for getting Senate approval, now time is being spent tamping down on a foreign worker controversy that has riled the president-elect's base forcing him to have to weigh in.

At the center of the controversy are comments made by Trump advisors Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk about America needing more H-1B foreign specialty workers which has erupted into a war with Trump's MAGA base that had been promised "America First" policies.

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) could potentially be saying goodbye to his leadership position.

April Ryan, a 30-year journalism veteran who has been the White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks (AURN) since January 1997, appeared on MSNBC on Saturday to discuss Johnson's potential future.

Donald Trump is going back on his word and tricking his own supporters, a columnist argued Saturday.

Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank appeared on MSNBC over the weekend, after Trump's own biographer was on to talk about what he sees as the president elect's "aching thirst to monetize the presidency."
