CNN anchor Chris Wallace was stunned when comedian Bill Maher asserted that Donald Trump will probably win the 2024 election for president during Wallace’s little watched Max podcast Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace. During this week’s podcast, Maher insisted that Trump is running a tighter and more serious campaign than he did in 2016. Maher first indulged a conspiracy theory that was already proven false once, that if Donald Trump were to become president, he “won’t leave” office and will somehow declare himself a permanent president. Wallace pointed out that Maher said this in 2016 when Trump ran the first...

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Monday on “Deadline” that freedom of the press could end if former President Donald Trump wins re-election in November. Wallace said, “The annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner is one of the symptoms, one of the signs of a healthy, functioning democracy.” She continued, “It’s a coming together and, at its core, the president doing everything right celebrates and honors the free press. Behind the levity, though, there was something darker, a darker undercurrent, if you will, and a point that the president had to make. And it was more profoundly serious. Because at this exact...

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Monday on her show “Deadline” that it was not accurate to say everyone in the Republican Party is a conspiracy theorist but “as with racist, all of the conspiracy theorists are Republicans.” Wallace said, “Every single candidate to be the Republican Party nominee to run in Georgia’s Third Congressional District rushed to endorse not just Trump but the lies he told, the lies that led to a deadly insurrection. The eager embrace of the election conspiracies now clearly a prerequisite to be elected in Republican Party politics.”

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said on her show “Deadline” that CEOs of American companies who do not support the reelection of President Joe Biden were “disgusting.” On Lindell TV in January, Trump said, “We have an economy that is incredible. We have an economy that is so fragile. The only reason its running now is it is running off the fumes of what we did. It is just running off the fumes. And when there is a crash, I hope it is going to be during this next 12 months because I don’t want to be Herbert Hoover.”

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Wednesday on “Deadline” that if former President Donald Trump is elected president again, the United States would become a threat to the world order. Wallace said, “One of my favorite conversations you had last night we were talking about sort of the things that were still in the DNA of the two parties, that the Republicans fall in line and the Democrats sort of wait to fall I think they largely love Joe Biden and what he’s done, but they want to be more madly in love with someone or something. It was on display...

CNN’s new CEO is looking at the ratings (he must have an electron microscope), looking at the salaries of his overpaid anchors, and thinking it’s time to make some changes. InTouch reports, “New CEO Mark Thompson is preparing ruthless cuts to remake the network as ratings plunge — leaving Anderson Cooper, Chris Wallace, Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper facing dates with the axman, a source says.” This is what I found fascinating — replacing these liars and basement-rated losers with Megyn Kelly — someone who actually attracts a sizable audience: Sources say [Thompson] has no use for the star system...

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Monday on her show “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump’s “affinity” Adolf Hitler was excused “under an umbrella of his stupidity.” Wallace said, “Let’s deal with Hitler. Trump’s affinity was always covered under an umbrella with his stupidity. People like General Kelly were like, ‘Oh you must not get it. You must not mean Hitler’s army.'”

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Friday on her show “Deadline” that “the constant relocation of the bottom for the Republicans” was still shocking. Discussing an article in The Atlantic, Wallace said, “Thanks to a brand new excerpt from a new biography about retiring Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney, we’re learning about some of the previously unknown inner workings of the Republican caucus in the chaotic days leading up to and after the January 6 insurrection. Including how Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell received a text from Romney warning about the dangers of the upcoming rally and the threat of violence...

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Wednesday on her show “Deadline” that Mark Meadows, who served as chief of staff under former President Donald Trump, was so “exposed” in the Georgia criminal RICO case he is “naked with his rear end hanging out.” After playing clips from The House Select Committee investigating January 6, Wallace said, “I want to deal with this intent and this knowledge of illegality first, so, Cippolone and Jacob, based on their testimony to the committee, are the ones saying in all of these meetings to anyone that’s listening that the plot is illegal, the fake electors...

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Wednesday on her show “Deadline” that in the 2024 election, Democrats need to say the Republican Party was “the largest anti-democratic force on the planet.” Wallace said, “I want to say it carefully because I’m not trying to throw an elbow at people that have done good, but even Liz Cheney, who did heroic work on the select committee, is not out front in protecting democracy from fellow Republicans. Neither are the other Republicans, people in the primary like Asa Hutchinson and Chris Christie saying that Trump is clearly criminally compromised, if you will.”

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace eagerly touted former President Donald Trump traveling to a violent Atlanta jail for his booking, appearing to stifle a smile Thursday as she recounted the facility is known for stabbings and fatalities. Trump reported to the Fulton County jail to be booked following an indictment from District Attorney Fani Willis over alleged 2020 election interference in the state. "Just a few minutes ago, Donald Trump, the disgraced ex-president, the frontrunner for the Republican nominee for president, four times indicted, departed his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. He’s en route to Fulton County, Georgia," Wallace explained...

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Monday on her show “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump’s claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election were “all bullshit.” House January Committee lead investigator Tim Heaphy said, “You have to go all the way back to, literally, the first week of November when Attorney General Barr issued a memo to all U.S. Attorneys and all FBI field offices, essentially authorizing them to conduct investigations of sufficiently specific and credible allegations of voter fraud. There had been talk leading up to the election of the possibility of fraud.”

CNN has made sweeping changes to its line-up in an effort to boost its ratings - following the departure of its CEO Chris Licht. Veteran journalists Chris Wallace and Christiane Amanpour will be the new faces during weekend shows in the reshuffle at the network. Abby Phillip will take the 10pm weekday slot, while Laura Coates will take the hour later, at 11pm. Kaitlan Collins will continue to anchor her 9pm show. Collins was previously sat with Poppy Harlow and Don Lemon on the morning show, before Lemon was sacked from the company in April. CNN This Morning is now...

On this week’s episodes of Wallace’s Max/CNN series Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace, Wallace interviewed McDaniel, as well as Hollywood superstar Goldie Hawn. In one of many memorable exchanges, Wallace asked McDaniel if she has a problem with the GOP “nominating somebody who’s under federal indictment” (she expressed openness to that) and then asked the natural follow-up for a race in which ex-President Donald Trump is the frontrunner — “Do you have any problem with the Republican Party nominating a convicted felon?”:

Joe Biden stopped by the MSNBC studio on Thursday and did a live 20-minute interview with Nicolle Wallace. When the interview ended, Biden shook Wallace's hand and walked off the set while Wallace was throwing it to commercial. As noted in the below tweets, this is being spun as Biden wandering off like he's lost by certain parties in the media. This is more akin to Biden falling on stage at the US Air Force graduation at the beginning of the month. It was sold as him being feeble, but he tripped over a sandbag while trying to hustle. In...

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Wednesday on her show “Deadline” that former special counsel John Durham, former Attorney General Bill Barr and former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe are “a nightmare for the rule of law.” Wallace said, “Durham never had anything except a tip to open an investigation into Donald Trump. And that was something he couldn’t even answer for today.”

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Tuesday on her show “Deadline” that Republican lawmakers’ different positions on the rule of law pertaining to former President Donald Trump’s federal indictment were an “absolute goat rodeo.” Wallace said, “Over on Earth-Two where J.D Vance lives, they’ve taken Trump’s call for war and retribution literally and J.D. Vance called for war and retribution on the DOJ today by saying he will as a U.S. senator block all appointments to the U.S. Justice Department.”

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Monday on her show “Deadline” that the Republican Party was a “threat to domestic security.” Wallace said, “It is surreal to have this conversation in private having worked in the government. It is indescribable to have it on live TV and to have been a part of the party that is now part of the rot and threat to domestic security in the United States. I remember, and I think based on his early messages as a candidate, he won’t mind if I disclose this for the first time. I remember talking to Chris Christie...

National Urban League President Marc Morial said Friday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that presidential candidate Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is the “21st-century George Wallace.” On Fox News, DeSantis said, “We have school choice. That’s one of the reasons why our black students perform as high as just about any black students in the country. You go to Baltimore or Chicago, some of the kids are more likely to get shot than have a high-quality education. I don’t hear the NAACP talking about that.”

NASCAR star Bubba Wallace is no stranger to controversy. It’s perhaps that penchant for drama that has turned the 29-year-old Wallace into something of a pro-wrestling villain in the world of NASCAR. Wherever he goes, he’s often greeted with a chorus of boos from fans of the sport. That bubbling ugliness came to a head in North Carolina over the weekend when some of NASCAR’s biggest stars gathered at North Wilkesboro Speedway for the NASCAR Cup Series All-Star Race on Sunday. Before that main event, however, there was the Tyson 250, a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race on Saturday....
