Two primetime Fox News personalities are apparently going to address text messages they sent to former Trump chief of staff during the January 6th riots at the United States Capitol building.

Fox News host Bret Baier said on Tuesday that both Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity are going to discuss "in depth" the text messages they sent to Meadows urging him to get former President Donald Trump to call off the rioters at the Capitol.

CNN host John King on Tuesday exposed the hypocrisy of Fox News hosts Sean Hannity, Brian Kilmeade and Laura Ingraham, who privately called for then-President Donald Trump to ask rioters to go home on Jan. 6.

During a panel discussion on CNN, King played clips that juxtaposed texts the hosts sent to then-Chief of Staff Mark Meadows with statements the same hosts made on the air on the evening of Jan. 6.

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA), chairman of the House Rules Committee, called out Fox News on Tuesday after the network failed to cover the news that at least three of its hosts had texted then-Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on Jan. 6.

At a Tuesday Rules Committee hearing to consider holding Meadows in contempt of Congress, McGovern noted that Jan. 6 Select Committee member Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) had recently revealed that Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Brian Kilmeade had texted the then-chief of staff as the Capitol riot was ongoing.

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon worried on Monday because one of Elon Musk's companies plans to implant chips in people's brains before the 2022 midterms.

Musk recently said that his Neuralink company would likely implant the chip in "people that have severe spinal-cord injuries like tetraplegics, quadriplegics" sometime next year.

Mehmet Oz, a celebrity doctor who is running as a Republican for U.S. Senate, lashed out at a newspaper on Monday after the title of "Dr." was omitted from his name.

During an appearance on Fox News, Oz accused The Philadelphia Inquirer of trying to silence him because the paper has announced that it would refer to him as "Mehmet Oz."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) lashed out at former Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday after it was announced that he is moving to the CNN+ streaming service.

"After 18 years, this is my final Fox News Sunday," Wallace announced on Sunday. "It is the last time -- and I say this with real sadness -- we will meet like this."

An hour before CNN confirmed that longtime Fox News host Chris Wallace was coming to work at CNN+ after he surprised his fans with an unexpected goodbye announcement, the panel on MSNBC's "The Sunday Show" speculated why the host made what they called an "abrupt departure."

With the panel praising Wallace as an oasis of professionalism at a network more known for bomb-throwers like Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson, former Republican National Committee head Michael Steele suggested the host may have grown weary of working in such an atmosphere.

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) met resistance from CBS host Margaret Brennan on Sunday after he compared wearing face masks to being put in a "penalty box."

During an interview on Face the Nation, Brennan noted that Sununu had canceled his inauguration because of armed anti-vaccine protesters.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday suggested that planning that led up to the Jan. 6 riot "was driven from the top" by former President Donald Trump.

During a panel discussion on ABC's This Week program, host George Stephanopoulos noted that former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows had turned over a PowerPoint presentation to the Jan. 6 Committee. The slide show outlined plans for overturning the 2020 election.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) on Sunday refused to admit that President Joe Biden won the 2020 election.

During an interview on Meet the Press, host Chuck Todd asked Marshall why former President Donald Trump has not conceded the 2020 election.

Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday called out Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for passing tax cuts during the Trump administration that were not paid for while he opposes spending money on President Joe Biden's Build Back Better agenda.

"In 2017, all Republicans voted for the tax cuts then that added $2 trillion to the economy," Wallace said. "And in fact, you talk about budget gimmicks, it used the same budget gimmick there. For instance, saying that individual tax cuts were going to end in 2025."

According to a report from Rolling Stone's Alexander Darwin, the late celebrity chef and popular CNN "Parts Unknown" host Anthony Bourdain kept up a steady flow of commentary on a Reddit martial arts forum where he only identified himself as "NooYawkCity" and described himself as a " 58 year old white belt."

Bourdain died by suicide in 2018 at the age of 61.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) on Thursday talked with conservative broadcaster Steve Bannon about a plan to use "4,000 shock troops" to take over the jobs of federal government employees.

Bannon has previously said that the so-called "shock troops" need to be prepared prior to Republican control of the executive branch.
