Far-right conspiracy theorist webcaster Alex Jones urged his followers to abandon President Donald Trump and move on to fighting the left without him, arguing that he is showing clear signs of both mental and physical deterioration.

The clip was first flagged by Ron Filipkowski of the liberal Meidas Touch network.

Two lawyers were aghast at new reporting that found some of the people President Donald Trump has pardoned went on crime sprees once they were freed.

The New York Times's editorial board argued in a new opinion piece on Tuesday that Trump has abandoned the traditional approach of granting sweeping pardons at the end of a presidential term, and that decision has become "disastrous." For instance, the editorial notes 12 separate crimes that have been committed by people Trump has pardoned, ranging from assault to possession of child pornography and child molestation.

Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) insisted on The Todd Starnes Show Tuesday that America should commit to overwhelming firepower against Iran to win the war — just like the nation did in Vietnam.

"We were horrible in Vietnam until we did Rolling Thunder One and Rolling Thunder Two, and then we won," said McCormick. "As soon as we do half-measures, we lose. The faster we get this over, the better. If we seize Kharg Island, it's technically boots on the ground. It could be done almost flawlessly. If we have enough firepower, it would be very easy to defend."

President Donald Trump's effort to intimidate the Supreme Court over his birthright citizenship case is going to backfire on him, former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele argued Tuesday evening on MS NOW.

Former federal drug enforcement chief and MS NOW legal commentator Chuck Rosenberg concurred with his assessment.

President Donald Trump just sent the GOP a vulgar message after he remained determined to build his signature ballroom despite a court ordering him to seek Congressional approval, according to one former lawmaker.

On Tuesday, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., temporarily halted construction of Trump's ballroom and ordered the Trump administration to obtain Congress's approval before the project could resume. Trump was asked about the order during a press conference in the Oval Office, where he said his administration would appeal the order and declared that the judge in the case got it "so wrong."

CNN's Jake Tapper revealed on Tuesday that Republicans have privately admitted to him that their party has a problem electing female candidates.

During a panel discussion on "The Lead," Tapper played a couple of clips from a recent CNN interview with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in which she argued that a female president will be elected, though maybe not in her lifetime. Melanie Mason, the California bureau chief for Politico, argued that the prospect of electing a female president was one reason some donors stayed away from Democrats during the 2024 election.

As the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments about President Donald Trump's executive order to rewrite the 14th Amendment to the Constitution and abolish birthright citizenship, former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann broke down the absurdity of the government's position on MS NOW — and predicted it would be smacked down resoundingly.

"I hate to go out on a limb and predict what's going to happen, but let's just say widely, widely within the legal community, the question is how close to 9-0 will this decision be against the administration?" Weissmann told anchor Ari Melber, himself an attorney.

President Donald Trump raised eyebrows on Tuesday after he offered a strange defense for the Army pilots who were suspended after flying an Apache helicopter near a MAGA music star's home over the weekend.

ABC News reported on Tuesday that the crew of pilots who flew the helicopter near Kid Rock's home in Nashville, Tennessee, had been suspended pending an investigation. Trump was asked about the report by Peter Doocy of Fox News during a press conference in the Oval Office after Trump signed an executive order limiting the use of mail-in ballots ahead of the 2026 midterm election.

President Donald Trump lashed out at a federal judge who ordered that his administration halt construction on his signature ballroom and seek Congressional approval before restarting.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon, who was appointed by former President George W. Bush, issued an order temporarily blocking the White House from building Trump's signature ballroom. The ruling blocks the Trump administration from "taking any action in furtherance of the physical development of the proposed ballroom at the former site of the East Wing of the White House, including but not limited to any further demolition, site preparation work, landscape alteration, excavation, foundation work, or other construction or related work, other than actions strictly necessary to ensure the safety and security of the White House and its grounds," according to the 35-page order.

CNN's Abby Phillip brutally fact-checked GOP analyst Scott Jennings on Tuesday over President Donald Trump's shifting comments about the war in Iran.

Jennings claimed during a panel discussion on "The Arena" that Trump has been consistent in his approach to dealing with Iran, adding that Trump has said since the 1980s that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. That comment seemed to stand in contrast to other explanations Trump has given for starting the war in Iran, as well as other statements he has made about how Democratic politicians would deal with Iran, according to Phillip.

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) is furious about new reporting that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sought out stocks related to defense just ahead of the Iran war, a red flag that he may have committed insider trading, and vowed on MS NOW's "Deadline: White House" that Democratic members of Congress will pursue an investigation.

The administration has already disputed the reporting, saying that Hegseth never reached out to BlackRock for financial information — but, anchor Nicolle Wallace noted, that's not even what the original story from the Financial Times alleged.

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) made an eyebrow-raising claim on air with a far-right talk show host: the U.S. government is not only covering up the existence of extraterrestrials, but breeding them.

Gaetz told Benny Johnson that he received this information from an official briefing.
