While [[CNN]] decided not to take him back, Buchanan's column resumed.<ref name="Wapo-050106">{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/30/AR2006043001185.html|title=Tony Snow's Washington Merry-Go-Round|last=Kurtz|first=Howard|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=May 1, 2006|page=C01|access-date=December 5, 2006}}</ref> A longer variation of the ''[[Crossfire (U.S. TV program)|Crossfire]]'' format was aired by [[MSNBC]] as ''[[Buchanan & Press]]'' on July 15, 2002, reuniting Buchanan and Press. Billed as "the smartest hour on television", ''Buchanan and Press'' featured the duo interviewing guests and sparring about the top news stories. As the [[Iraq War]] loomed, Buchanan and Press toned down their rivalry, as they both opposed the invasion.<ref name=Bloom>Bloom, Jordan (June 6, 2012) [http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/when-news-is-propaganda/ When News Is Propaganda] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160321013220/http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/when-news-is-propaganda/|date=March 21, 2016}} ''[[The American Conservative]]''.</ref> Press claims they were the first cable hosts to discuss the planned attack.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.billpress.com/television.html|author=William 'Bill' Press|title=Making Air-Waves|access-date=December 5, 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061107235749/http://www.billpress.com/television.html|archive-date=November 7, 2006}}</ref> MSNBC Editor-in-Chief [[Jerry Nachman]] once jokingly lamented this unusual situation:

{{blockquote|text=So the point is why does only [[Fox News Channel|Fox [News Channel]]] get this? At least, we work at the perfect place, the place that's fiercely independent. We try to have balance by putting you two guys together and then this [[Stockholm syndrome]] love fest set in between the two of you, and we no longer even have robust debate.<ref>{{Citation|title=Buchanan and Press|date=November 19, 2002|type=broadcast}}</ref>}}

Just hours after his talk show debuted, Buchanan was a guest on the premiere of MSNBC's short-lived ''Donahue'' program. Host [[Phil Donahue]] and Buchanan debated the separation of church and state. Buchanan called Donahue "dictatorial"<ref>{{Citation|last=Buchanan|first=Patrick 'Pat' Joseph|title=Donahue|publisher=MSNBC|quote=Cut it out, Phil. What you want done is, I say no Jewish kid can be put in a Nativity play. What you want done is no Nativity play, no Pledge of Allegiance, no Bible in school, no Ten Commandments. You are dictatorial, Phil. You're a dictatorial liberal and you don't even know it}}</ref> and said that the host got his job through affirmative action.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/column?oid=oid%3A98320|title=The Phil-ing Station|last=Acosta|first=Belinda|work=The Austin Chronicle|date=July 26, 2002|access-date=December 5, 2006}}</ref>

MSNBC President Eric Sorenson canceled ''Buchanan & Press'' on November 26, 2003.<ref name=Bloom/> Buchanan stayed at MSNBC as a political analyst. He regularly appeared on the network's talk shows. He occasionally filled in on the nightly show ''[[Scarborough Country]]'' during its run on MSNBC. Buchanan also was a frequent guest and co-host of ''[[Morning Joe]]'' as well as ''[[Hardball with Chris Matthews|Hardball]]'' and ''[[The Rachel Maddow Show (TV series)|The Rachel Maddow Show]]''.

In September 2009, Buchanan wrote an MSNBC opinion column arguing that [[Adolf Hitler]] did not want war and the Allied powers' actions were unnecessary. The article was removed from the website after MSNBC was urged to do so in a public statement by the [[National Jewish Democratic Council]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://jta.org/news/article/2009/09/03/1007639/njdc-urges-msnbc-to-remove-pat-buchanans-column-defending-hitler|title=MSNBC removes Buchanan column defending Hitler|publisher=Jewish Telegraphic Agency|date=September 3, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609171756/http://www.jta.org/news/article/2009/09/03/1007639/njdc-urges-msnbc-to-remove-pat-buchanans-column-defending-hitler|archive-date=June 9, 2012}}</ref> Buchanan had used the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the [[Invasion of Poland|German invasion of Poland]] to argue that the [[United Kingdom]] should not have [[United Kingdom declaration of war on Germany (1939)|declared war]] on [[Nazi Germany]].<ref>{{Citation|last=Calderone|first=Michael|format=blog|url=http://www.politico.com/blogs/michaelcalderone/0909/Buchanan_column_removed_from_MSNBC_site.html|title=MSNBC removes Buchanan column from site|journal=Politico|date=September 3, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|first=Patrick 'Pat' Joseph|last=Buchanan|url=http://buchanan.org/blog/did-hitler-want-war-2068|title=Did Hitler Want War?|publisher=Patrick 'Pat' Joseph Buchanan|date=September 2009|access-date=July 28, 2011}}</ref> This revived charges of antisemitism and helping to legitimize [[Holocaust denial]].

In October 2011, Buchanan was indefinitely suspended from MSNBC as a contributor after the publication of his book ''Suicide of a Superpower''.
