Chris Hayes Warns Trump Is ‘Running on a Platform of Retribution’ for His Legal Troubles (Video)

In addition to promising pardons to those involved with the January 6 attacks on the Capitol, Donald Trump has now promised to donate to the legal fund of the defendants still awaiting their fate. But the hosts and panelists of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” are a bit skeptical on that promise, considering it would mean the twice-indicted former president would have to “give away any of his own money.”In discussing Trump’s latest pledge on Monday morning, host Mika Brzezinski called it “pretty twisted,” but Jonathan Lemire was largely unsurprised.“The bottom just keeps getting lower.

told MSNBC anchor Jen Psaki on Sunday’s “Inside With Jen Psaki.” “We have to do everything to make sure that a person so frivolous with our democracy, so jeopardizing of our national security, so disrespectful of our rule of law, would [never] be president of the United States once again.”Despite the growing pile of evidence against Trump, the Speaker Emerita also noted her hesitancy to say there’s no way he could win again since she “never thought he could win the first time.” As the pair discussed Trump’s recent indictment — to which he pleaded not guilty to 37 federal counts regarding the illegal retention of classified documents as well as obstructing justice and making false statements — Psaki pointed out that some of the documents found at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence were the highest level classifications possible.“Knowing what you know about former President Donald Trump, we know he has an affection for dictators,” Psaki said. “Do you have concern, without us knowing at this point, of what he may have wanted to do with those documents?”While Pelosi didn’t give a definitive answer to Psaki’s inquiry, the California representative underlined the extent to which Trump “seriously jeopardized our national security,” which went against protecting important security documents that he expressed as a priority during his candidacy.

“Rob Schneider: Woke Up in America,” a hilarious take on the current events of modern America that debuted on Fox Nation earlier this week.The actor and comedian proved he hasn’t lost his luster, keeping the audience in stitches by wisecracking on everything from today’s culture wars, COVID-19 mask mandates and his own vasectomy to making a movie with Donald Trump. Schneider told “Fox & Friends” on Monday that the secret to modern comedy comes from appealing to the demand for someone who isn’t afraid to push back against censorship or “go against the grain.”Here are some can’t-miss moments from the actor-comedian’s latest endeavor, exclusively available on Fox Nation:Schneider said he voted for Trump – a few times – in 2016.“It was in California, and I was writing on my kitchen counter – I had the ballot because, you know, in California, they mail you like 100 of them,” he joked. “I was just filling them out.

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” blasted Elise Stefanik for introducing resolutions to formally expunge the impeachments of former President Donald Trump.On Thursday, Republican Congresswoman Stefanik and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced two resolutions that would erase the Dec. 18, 2019, and Jan. 13, 2021 impeachments of Trump as if the “unconstitutional” articles had never passed the full House of Representatives.“It’s totally unclear if such resolutions are even legally possible,” co-host Mika Brzezinski said.

[And] that is very much not the case this time.”“So I think we have two things happening in this election,” Miller continued.

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough couldn’t help but laugh at Donald Trump’s confusion over his own policy.In an interview with Fox News’s Brett Baier that aired Tuesday night, Baier tripped Trump up by deflating his recollection of Alice Johnson, a woman sentenced to jail for selling marijuana. The former president said he used his pardon powers to commute Johnson’s sentence in 2018, but Baier quickly pointed out that Johnson would face the death penalty under Trump’s proposal of imposing the death penalty on convicted drug dealers.“That’s a perfect example of just how clueless Donald Trump is on policy.

@chrislhayes: The ritual humiliation of Hunter Biden—a mainstay of the right-wing media—is an attempt to wage a sort of psychological warfare upon the president. Joe Biden has no control over the actions of his adult son—his sole surviving son—who he obviously loves deeply.

strongly worded cease-and-desist, claiming his Twitter show, now on its fourth episode, is in direct violation of his contract, which is still in place through 2025. Carlson’s legal team believes he’s in the clear because Twitter is not a Fox competitor – but the network might want to see what kind of do-not-disparage and do-not-disclose language is in that document.Carlson opened his fourth episode by directly addressing Fox, and specifically the “Wannabe Dictator” chyron that a network producer saw fit to display beneath Biden the day his DOJ announced federal charges against former President Donald Trump. “Inside Fox, the women who run the network panicked,” Carlson said.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is running as a Republican candidate in the 2024 presidential race and appeared Wednesday on Fox News, taking aim at the likely Democratic incumbent and current president, Joe Biden.Christie targeted Biden even after “America’s Newsroom” ran graphics and discussed the fact Donald Trump is not only handily polling ahead of Ron DeSantis but leading a pack of also-rans that include Christie, who was shown as polling at a meager 2% in the Republican race.“Record inflation, botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, sending the country into an educational tailspin because we’re excluding parents from their children’s education,” Christie reeled off, taking a page out of the DeSantis playbook before show host Bill Hemmer interrupted. “The border,” Hemmer said, blankly.A light bulb then went off for Christie.“But wait a second Bill,” the former CNN political analyst said, after Hemmer chimed in that Trump had more success with his Mexican border policies.
