MS NOW's Jonathan Capehart freaked out on Friday when he guest-hosted The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell over the latest developments between the Trump administration and the Smithsonian Institute. As Capehart tells it, a recent letter from the Interior Department threatening to cease cooperation with the Smithsonian is evidence that Trump is out to destroy democracy and everything else that is good and decent.

CNN recently sent Anderson Cooper to Nepal to cover the aftermath of the devastating floods that have hit that country, which formed the basis of his Monday The Whole Story documentary. At one point in the show, Cooper and National Geographic journalist Ben Ayers suggested that “climate justice” demands acknowledging the floods are, in large part, America's fault.

After taking all of August off, Comedy Central's The Daily Show returned on Tuesday with host Jon Stewart welcoming Utah Gov. Spencer Cox to the show to promote his new book on helping Americans not hate each other as much. At one point Stewart questioned Cox's commitment to the idea when he demanded to know why Cox hasn't forced Utahans to bake cakes for same-sex weddings even if that would violate their religious beliefs.

Ahead of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, MS NOW's Chris Hayes had another outrageous 9/11 hot take on All In . On Tuesday, Hayes not only claimed the county had “dysregulated psychosis” after 9/11, but that the GOP still has it. Somehow, New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg had an even worse take as she took Hayes's diagnoses and applied it to how conservatives reacted to Charlie Kirk's assassination.

Ahead of November's midterm elections, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel wants to do his part to help Democrats win by interviewing Texas Senate candidate James Talarico. Unfortunately for him, the FCC has decided to take a closer look at its equal time rules, which led Kimmel to mourn on Wednesday that his Talarico interview will have to be exclusively posted to YouTube.

Donald Trump and George W. Bush may be two very different kinds of Republican presidents, but according to CNN political director David Chalian on Thursday's Inside Politics , Trump's attack on Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed echoes the “menacing aspect” of Bush's 2004 campaign against John Kerry for simply pointing out the radicalness in their respective opponents.

To avoid any FCC equal time ramifications, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel begrudgingly put his Thursday interview with Texas Senate James Talarico exclusively on YouTube. However, the actual interview showed why the FCC is taking a closer look at equal time rules because for Talarico it was less of an interview and more of an out-of-state campaign rally. Kimmel's main point of praise was how Talarico supposedly campaigns on “the real teachings of Jesus,” while also arguing Republicans who quote his nutty statements are spewing “nonsense.”

During the listener Q&A portion of Comedy Central's The Weekly Show podcast on Thursday, host Jon Stewart absolved himself of any responsibility if The Daily Show is viewed as “political diabetes.” According to Stewart, the show puts out “healthy food” that revolves around the “things that are contemptible that need to be attacked.”
HBO’s Bill Maher lambasted the media on Friday’s episode of Real Time for its increasingly politically correct approach to terrorism as he marked the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Additionally, Maher also called out what he labeled “the moral confusion” of the Democratic Party on the issue, especially as it relates to Gaza.

Ahead of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, actor Robert De Niro swung by CBS Mornings on Wednesday to promote his new film, Tribeca 25, and stress the importance of educating young people about that day. That would be perfectly reasonable if not for the fact that De Niro also sought to compare 9/11 to the current “political situation.”Co-anchor Gayle King wondered, “Bob, who do you hope will watch the documentary because I think it's important we keep telling the story because it breaks my heart that people don't fully grasp how devastating that was.”
