Fox News host Brian Kilmeade praised "slave owners" because he said the United States of America would not exist without them.

Kilmeade made the remarks on The Charlie Kirk Show on Monday while promoting his book about Booker T. Washington and President Theodore Roosevelt.

Conservative podcaster Steve Bannon on Monday called on House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to create a new Jan. 6 Committee, which he predicted would prove the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.

During his Monday podcast, Bannon said "elites" were guilty of "treason" because they were prepared to enforce digital ID cards and refused to seal the southern border.

Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, who infamously peddled conspiracy theories about the 2020 election that were concocted by a woman who believes she can talk with the wind, is now floating wild conspiracy theories about the origins of COVID-19.

While there is still some debate over whether COVID-19 may have originated from a viral research lab in the city of Wuhan, Bartiromo on Monday took things several steps farther — and suggested that the virus was part of a deliberate plot to bring down former President Donald Trump.

President Joe Biden's approval rating has dropped to the lowest levels yet amid serious concerns about his handling of the Israel-Hamas war, but panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" aren't ready to count him out.

Biden fell behind Donald Trump for the first time in a hypothetical election rematch, but host Joe Scarborough said it's far too early to worry.

Former President Donald Trump's history of racist rhetoric has been amplified over the course of his political career. In an August report, PBS News notes the 2024 MAGA hopeful "has used terms such as 'animal' and 'rabid' to describe Black district attorneys. He has accused Black prosecutors of being 'racist.' He has made unsupported claims about their personal lives. And on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump has deployed terms that rhyme with racial slurs as some of his supporters post racist screeds about the same targets."

During Sunday's episode of MSNBC's Velshi, guest host Charles Coleman Jr. spoke with Yale University professor of philosophy Jason Stanley about the ways race has shown up amid Trump's legal troubles.

Former President Donald Trump decided to lavish praise on "wheels and walls" at an event near the Texas border.

While speaking to a crowd in Edinburgh, Texas, on Sunday, Trump claimed that "our country is going to hell."

Speaking with MSNBC host Jen Psaki on Sunday afternoon, former Solicitor General Neal Katyal explained that a ruling by District Judge Sarah B. Wallace on Friday may have kept Donald Trump on the Colorado ballot for now but it could blow up on him at a later date.

Katyal was quick to note that Judge Wallace agreed with the petitioners that the former president took part in an insurrection at the end of his term but used a narrow interpretation to say he is not in violation of the 14th Amendment.

According to the legal analyst, the ruling was "the very worst decision Trump could get."

'If I were to put the headline on Friday, as an appeals lawyer, it would be this is the very worst decision Donald Trump could get from the trial court," he began. "Because it's going to go on appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court, perhaps the U.S. Supreme Court and there Trump is going to face extreme headwinds."

"And the reason for that is the fact — there's two parts," he continued. "There's a factual finding, that the judge said, which is Trump committed insurrection, and then there's a legal part that the 14th Amendment doesn't apply to the office of the presidency. On appeals, Jen, the factual findings get massive deference by the appeals court. It's almost impossible to overturn a trial judge's factual finding."

"You can overturn the legal findings, because that's basically a fresh look at the legal thing and, here, this judge factually made devastating findings against Trump," he elaborated. "And then looked at this legal technicality, which is the 14th Amendment doesn't apply to the office of the president, which is so weak, even the judge themselves admitted that this would be preposterous."

CBS host Margaret Brennan fact-checked Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) after he suggested President Joe Biden's possession of classified documents was more severe than former President Donald Trump's hoarding of national security secrets.

On Sunday's Face the Nation program, Brennan noted that CBS has reported that the special counsel's office is not expected to bring tax fraud charges against Biden's son Hunter.

CNN's "State of the Union" panel ended in laughter on Sunday after a former President Joe Biden official reminded a GOP operative that Donald Trump has a major problem gaining voters outside his rabid base.

Discussing the potential match-up between the current president and the four-time indicted former president, Republican party campaign adviser Scott Jennings asserted Trump has the advantage because he has a locked-in base.

That led former Biden White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield to point out that Trump can't count on any voters beyond his base because independents are strongly aligned against him.

"What is more likely?" Jennings asked, "That Donald Trump could hold his core base together, or that Joe Biden with his problems with African American voters, with his problems with young voters who think he hasn't kept his promises, could hold its base together?"

"I think it is far more likely that Trump could hold his base again," he asserted.

"But Trump can't speak to the middle like Joe Biden can," Bedingfield interrupted before adding, "So the numbers under your scenario, the numbers can't get Trump there," which led to the laughter from off-screen panelists.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) complained that her effort to impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was a "failure" because eight Republicans voted against it.

"Eight Republicans joined with the Democrats, Maria, to kill the articles of impeachment I brought to the floor against Secretary Mayorkas," Greene told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday. "And it's absolutely outrageous."

Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union" moments after a combative Gov. Ron DeSantis went back and forth with host Jake Tapper over anti-Semitic comments made by Elon Musk, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) smirked and needled the Florida Republican for pleading ignorance.

When asked about the X owner seemingly agreeing with a poster who claimed Jews are trying to replace white Christians in America, DeSantis attempted to blow off the question by saying he wasn't aware of the exchange and the blowback that has been creating headlines for days as advertisers flee the social media platform.

Speaking with host Tapper, Raskin was skeptical that DeSantis was that much in the dark.

"The guy is running for president and Elon Musk did that on Wednesday," Raskin began. "It's Sunday. This is four days later, and he has not had the chance to read what Elon Musk wrote? That is very hard for me to believe."

"In any event, you showed it to him and he still chose to not condemn it," the Maryland Democrat continued. "If you're serious about condemning and confronting anti-semitism and racism and these bigotries, which are the gateway to the destruction of liberal democracy, you have got to be explicit and open and full-throated about it and denounce racism and extremism across the board."

During an interview on Fox News, McCarthy took a shot at Gaetz, who orchestrated his ouster as speaker.

Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis clashed with CNN host Jake Tapper over Elon Musk's anti-Semitic social media posts.

During an interview on CNN, Tapper noted that Musk had seemingly endorsed a conspiracy theory claiming Jews are trying to replace white Christians in the U.S.
