On CNN Paul Begala criticizes Republicans during the government shutdown. Begala believes that the shutdown was unnecessary: PAUL BEGALA: I've seen a lot of shutdowns I've worked in the the White House. This is the dumbest one ever. The Republicans have all the power, with Democrats for just this moment, have a little bit of leverage. And I think they're actually doing something very smart. They're asking for one thing and one thing only. And by the way, they're not asking the Republicans to do something difficult; they're not asking to Trump to give back that ridiculous jet that the Qatari Emir gave them, they're not asking to cancel Elon Musk's no bid contracts, they're not asking to bring troops home that Trump has deployed into American cities, they're not even asking to tax the rich. They're asking to extend health care premium subsidies, which, by the way, benefit Trump voters enormously. And Washington Post poll this, it's a 71% popular thing. So the democrats are asking the republicans to do so

Vice President J.D. Vance on 'Jesse Watters' argued against those that say "both sides" on political violence. Vice President Vance called it "bonkers" to compare right and left political violence and those who support it: JESSE WATTERS: The Democrats and the media are preaching unity, saying there's an equal amount of violence on both sides and we need to all lower the temperature and come together. You say? VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE: It's absolutely bonkers. The idea that left-wing violence and right wing violence in 2025 in America are equal it's preposterous. The statistics don't bear it out. You ask what percentage of political liberals believe that political violence is sometimes justified, it's about one in four. If you ask young conservatives it's about one in 25 which is still too high. It should be zero, but the problem is much bigger on the far left. I saw something, maybe it was the ADL or one of these ridiculous organizations, that said right wing violence is as common as left-wing violen

MSNBC's Chris Hayes responds to the news that ABC has 'indefinitely' pulled 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' off the air after Trump's FCC chair criticized the host's Charlie Kirk comments; CHRIS HAYES, MSNBC: Good evening from New York. I'm Chris Hayes. When Stephen Colbert announced that his late night show was being canceled back in July, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, had a chilling reaction. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Fallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent. They're next. They're going to be going. I hear they're going to be going. I don't know, but I would imagine because they'd get Colbert has better ratings than Kimmel or Fallon. You know that. HAYES: They're next. I hear they're going to be going. Well, tonight an ABC spokesperson confirms that Jimmy Kimmel's late night show has been preempted indefinitely. Now, it comes just hours after a large set of ABC affiliates announced they would refuse to air Kimmel's show. They say because of comments the late night host made on Monday ni

Byron York on 'The Ingraham Angle,' discusses the firings of late night hosts Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel. York explains that the reason for firing is the changing of the political landscape over the years: LAURA INGRAHAM: And I think it's also kind of this hostility that against a cut against what Obama in part campaigned upon in 2008. Remember he said he was for traditional marriage. Remember that? So that Barack Obama would also be an enemy to this current mindset of the Democrat Party. And a lot of these activists who are going crazy celebrating Charlie. So it's an unbelievable transformation of the Democrat Party. But Byron, I want to get to the big news tonight, which is that ABC is pulling Jimmy Kimmel off the air after he made this remark about Charlie. JIMMY KIMMEL: The MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it. BYRON YORK, FOX NEWS: ABC is a networ

Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) on Governor Gavin Newsom's attempt to redraw California's congressional districts: REP. KEVIN KILEY: Some other state is doing something that's so bad and sinister we are going to do it too. And a whole lot worse in California we have this independent commission that was already put in place by voters. By the way, California voters stand by their decision to get rid of political gerrymandering. There is a poll out today from Politico showing that by a two to one margin California voters oppose what Newsom is trying to do they want to keep the commission. You might think, okay, this thing is dead in the water, end of story. But the problem is that in California Newsom and the Democrats have their hands on every level of power and they will use every trick they can to confuse voters. For example, they already come up with ballot language that is outright fraudulent designed to trick people into thinking yes means no and no means yes. This is going to be a fight but I think at the end

On FOX News 'Special Report,' Bret Baier and Aishah Hasnie reported on President Joe Biden Adviser, Anita Dunn, testifying before Congress on Biden's mental health: BRET BAIER: Long time adviser to former President Biden, says he made all the decisions, the important decisions at the White House. Anita Dunn, testifying today at a closed-door meeting of the House Oversight Committee. That panel looking to allegations of a cover up concerning the then-president's mental health. Senior national correspondent Aishah Hasnie reports tonight from Capitol Hill. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) AISHAH HASNIE, FOX NEWS CHANNEL CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Were you against doing a cognitive test for President Biden? Were you afraid of sharing any of the results from a cognitive test? Would you have supported a cognitive test if the doctor would have approved of it? HASNIE (voice over): Anita Dunn, on the Hill to answer questions about an alleged White House cover up of President Biden's decline. The former senior adv

Tonight on The Weeknight, MSNBC hosts Symone Sanders Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez were joined by Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) and Rep. Nikema Williams (D-Ga.) to discuss Texas Republicans' bid to redraw congressional maps to target Democrats, the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Voting Rights Act: SYMONE SANDERS TOWNSEND, MSNBC HOST: The Texas Democrats who left the state to prevent Republicans from passing a rigged congressional map are now facing threats. This morning, those Democrats, along with 400 others, were evacuated from their Chicago hotel due to a bomb threat. You all have heard me say before that history is unbroken continuity. And the push from Republicans to dilute the will of voters in Texas and other states is escalating on a very crucial anniversary. Sixty years ago today, another famous Texan, President Lyndon B. Johnson, signed into law the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The landmark legislation empowered the federal government to ensure the rights of black vot

Chuck Todd on Chris Matthews' substack discussed the tension with the MAGA base: CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Yeah, it's like international conspiracy or those roving international conspiracies. I just think here's the question. When will this break between Trump become real or will we be distracted from it? Will he once again do one of those wonderful cover and escape situations like the president's been able to do? Get away from the trouble, escape. CHUCK TODD: But, you know, look, we've seen a lot of summers, you know, take your you know, sometimes I think we're our brains have been fried by the Trump era. But think about it, Chris. If this weren't if we hadn't gone through the sort of the the the anxiety of the Trump era as as journalists, as you and I have done, we'd have said, oh, this is one of those summer stories that once the calendar turns to Labor Day and there's a whole bunch of other stuff going on, this will kind of fade in the background. Right. Remember, you know, and and so that sometim

MSNBC's Chris Hayes discussed the changing media landscape on the right. Hayes compared FOX News coverage on Tulsi Gabbard's report versus coverage on Jeffrey Epstein: CHRIS HAYES: FOX's biggest story, though, was the one Trump has ordered his supporters to talk about instead. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's ginned up report about President Obama. Not an isolated incident, either. According to a new analysis from Media Matters for America, Fox has spent significantly more time talking about Obama than Epstein over the last few days. Yesterday alone, they mentioned the ex-president more than 120 times, which is three times as much as they talked about Epstein. Outside of Fox, the MAGA world reaction to this reporting from the Journal has been mixed. CANDACE OWENS: The justice department told Trump back in may that his name is among many in the Epstein files. Now, this is interesting because we've been kind of remarking on the strange 180 that's been happening, like they were very clear

Congress is moving toward revoking a billion dollars in already approved funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the entity that steers funds to public media stations. William Brangham discussed the potential impact on PBS with one of the network's most acclaimed filmmakers, Ken Burns.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: As we have heard, the House is moving to revoke a billion dollar in already approved funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the entity that steers taxpayer funds to PBS, NPR and public media stations. To talk about the potential impact on PBS, we turn to one of this network's most acclaimed and most watched filmmakers and directors, Ken Burns. The Ken Burns collection on PBS includes more than 40 documentaries on a wide range of subjects, including the Civil War, baseball, Vietnam and country music. His new documentary series, "The American Revolution," is scheduled to premiere
