David From breaks down why the rise of socialism in New York City is the scariest warning sign in America right now — and how the Declaration of Independence directly refutes it. He reveals the radical founding idea that still terrifies big-government politicians: your rights come from God, not the government, and power flows only through the consent of the governed. Plus, why even the Smithsonian has stopped teaching the history every American should know.

A new AARP poll exposes the crack in Jon Ossoff's Georgia re-election: he's up 23 points with swing voters over 50, but Republican Mike Collins actually leads 53-45 among all 50-plus voters — the exact bloc that decides midterms, where 88% say they're extremely motivated to vote versus just 62% of voters under 50. Larry O'Connor and AARP's John Hishta break down the Georgia Senate and governor races, the Keisha Lance Bottoms vs. Rick Jackson ticket-splitting, and why Social Security's 2032 solvency deadline is about to become every Senate candidate's problem.

Chuck Schumer is desperate to finally become Senate Majority Leader, but his own party is already turning on him — Chris Van Hollen refused to defend him on camera, and his own crowds are screaming at him at his rallies. Then Hunter Biden went on the Macro Dosing podcast and called Schumer "a piece of," trashed Nancy Pelosi, and unloaded on Donald Trump's entire family, right down to the grandchildren — while his own dad still won't acknowledge Hunter's daughter Navy.

Francesca Hong is about to win the Democratic nomination for Governor of Wisconsin, and she's running the oldest trick in the book — calling herself a Democratic Socialist while insisting she doesn't back the party's platform to abolish the Senate, the police, and ICE. But her own "Abolish the Senate" tweet from five years ago is still live, and the second she left her scripted Fox News taping, the mask slipped. James Carville is already warning his party this is how Democrats blow winnable races.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson went on Michelle Obama's podcast to explain how carefully she avoids any "appearance of partiality" — apparently not noticing the irony of the venue. Then Jasmine Crockett bragged that black women are "the most educated demographic in this country" while stumbling over her own acronym, calling it "quote unquote DIE," and blaming racism for World Cup fans rooting against Argentina.

Larry digs into the ugly scene at a Seattle Storm vs. Indiana Fever game, where two teenage girls wearing "XX-XY" shirts in support of Sophie Cunningham were cursed out and called "trash" by adults sitting nearby — including, it turns out, Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton. Larry unmasks the Nordstrom employee caught on video hurling insults, walks through the girls' full account of the confrontation, and covers the fallout: the Seattle Storm's public apology, the WNBA suspending and fining Keaton, and Sophie Cunningham's own statement backing her young fans. Then he turns to a video the WNBA quietly deleted — Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers openly betting $400 on their own matchup — and asks why the league is letting it slide when other pro leagues suspend players for the exact same thing.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune is under fire from his own party. Larry breaks down why Thune keeps hedging on the Save America Act (voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements) even though the House already tucked its two biggest provisions into a budget reconciliation bill that only needs 50 votes — votes Republicans already have. He plays the moment a reporter asks Trump point-blank whether Thune is "still the man for the job," compares Thune's rambling answers to Chuck Schumer's near-identical talking points, replays John Cornyn's confused response, and breaks down Senator Mike Lee's floor speech rallying 15 GOP senators who are refusing to let the Senate recess for August until the Save America Act gets a vote.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Larry is pissed. Newly surfaced entries from Anthony Fauci's diary appear to contradict his public statements throughout the pandemic — from private conversations about shutting down New York City schools to his real feelings about the COVID-19 origin story. Larry breaks down the diary revelations, digs into CNN's Jake Tapper and his cozy personal relationship with Fauci, and unpacks Fauci's combative congressional hearing where he invoked the Fifth Amendment over 100 times. Larry also covers the mortality-rate testimony that helped trigger the national shutdown, the media's shifting narrative on lockdowns and kids, and Fauci getting doorstepped by a reporter on his morning walk right after testifying on Capitol Hill.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anthony Fauci strode into the Senate hearing, delivered a self-congratulating opening statement blaming Rand Paul — then pleaded the Fifth 121 times, refusing to answer a single question. But here's the catch Rand Paul exposed: Fauci's blanket Biden pardon means he legally cannot incriminate himself, making the Fifth Amendment claim a sham and opening him to contempt of Congress. Paul even had Fauci's lawyer removed from the room by security, and a contempt vote is now scheduled.

Freshman Senator Bernie Moreno obliterated Anthony Fauci on the Senate floor, forcing him to admit he was pleading the Fifth on a right he couldn't even explain — and didn't know James Madison wrote. Moreno filled the chamber with real pandemic victims and asked Fauci to look them in the eye. He couldn't. Then Moreno hit him with the story of an Ohio mom arrested for watching her son's football game outside, and demanded an apology Fauci refused to give.

Josh Hawley just dismantled Anthony Fauci on the Senate floor, forcing him to plead the Fifth over questions as simple as the color of his tie. Then Hawley pulled out Fauci's own emails — proof he used eight federal employees on federal time to solicit over $1 million in cash awards, including a $900,000 Dan David Award, while a million Americans died. Fauci, already pardoned by Joe Biden, had no answer.

Roughly two hours of Joe Biden's 2017 ghostwriter tapes were released over his objections — and on them he can be heard saying "I just found all the classified stuff downstairs," admitting he kept classified documents in his Delaware basement next to Hunter Biden and telling an uncleared ghostwriter to "be careful" with them. The same tapes show the cognitive decline Robert Hur cited when he declined to charge Biden, all while the media called Donald Trump a traitor over Mar-a-Lago.

The second a CNN guest tried to raise the Anthony Fauci story, the whole panel talked over her to shut it down — and then admitted on air the DNC is millions in debt, begging vendors to hold their bills until after the midterms. Harry Enten's own chart lays it bare: Republicans sitting on $657 million while Democrats sink into the red, the party 24 points underwater, and the DSA now twice as toxic as the Tea Party ever was.

Acting DNI Bill Pulte just declassified a document dump exposing FBI political appointee Nikki Flores — who admitted in a text message she was "basically running a shadow government across the FBI," locking China's 2020 election-interference intel out of Donald Trump's presidential daily briefing. Catherine Herridge's CIA whistleblower confirms it, newly declassified files show China compromised voter rolls in 18 states and had a plan to weaponize BLM chaos, and Pulte responds by firing roughly 30% of the intel staff.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rand Paul just released "Tony's Diary" — Anthony Fauci's private notes — and they're devastating. In his own handwriting, Fauci pegged COVID's fatality rate at 0.2-0.3% while telling Congress under oath it was 10x deadlier than the flu, knew asymptomatic spread was confirmed on February 3rd yet told Larry Kudlow "we're okay," and tracked his own fame, awards, and action figure right alongside the rising death toll. With his pardon only covering the Biden years, Fauci returns to the Senate this week fully exposed to perjury charges.

A DSA co-chair went on Fox News and told Shannon Bream "absolutely" to abolishing the Senate, the Pentagon, borders, and even prisons — including for rapists and child predators. Larry O'Connor breaks down how these Democratic Socialists are running as a parasite inside Hakeem Jeffries' party, why the DNC is $2 million in debt and hiding its bills until after Election Day, the Bernie Sanders vs. Rahm Emanuel civil war, and how CNN's own data guy just admitted there is no blue wave coming.

At the White House Correspondents Dinner, President Trump roasted CNN's Caitlin Collins by "mistaking" her for Dylan Mulvaney on the infamous Bud Light can — and Collins responded with a virtue-signaling Eleanor Roosevelt quote on Instagram. Larry O'Connor breaks down why her outrage makes no sense, Dylan Mulvaney's bizarre "freedom" video reply, and the Jake Tapper and Barry Weiss jokes that bombed in the room but landed everywhere else.

Larry breaks down the 2026 California governor's race between failed Biden HHS chief Xavier Becerra and Republican Steve Hilton, whose campaign just dropped a viral "The Machine" ad blasting Sacramento's political establishment. Larry also digs into CA Attorney General Rob Bonta rewriting the ballot language for a voter ID initiative to sway voters, a Hispanic caller who stuns a Democrat congressman by demanding basic citizenship verification for voting, and LA's homelessness numbers spiking under Mayor Karen Bass, who, then, blames Trump. Plus, Adam Carolla sounds off on California's refusal to hand over voter rolls.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Larry reacts to a fatal police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, that is being framed by the left as the next "George Floyd moment." A man fled officers on a bicycle, pulled a fixed-blade knife during a struggle, injured an officer, and was shot after a Taser failed — he later died. Larry then analyzes the police chief's full account, an activist storming the podium at the press conference to demand the officer be called a "murderer," and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong being coached by protesters to call the shooting an "execution" just 10 days before Wisconsin's primary. Larry also digs into Madison's 53-year unbroken run of Democrat mayors and why the city's police department has no body cameras — tracing it back to post-George Floyd budget cuts.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Larry reacts to New Jersey's voter fraud scandal after Gov. Mikie Sherrill's administration admitted nearly 6,600 non-citizens were registered to vote (with ~400 having actually voted) between June 2023 and June 2024. NJ blames a DMV software "glitch"; the vendor denies it. Larry covers Sherrill blasting the Trump administration over the fallout, White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt's response, and DOJ Civil Rights Division head Harmeet Dhillon detailing plans to prosecute and deport non-citizens who voted — while New Jersey refuses to hand over its voter rolls to federal investigators.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fresh off his viral Smithsonian takedown, Congressman Brandon Gill turned his attention to the American Bar Association — grilling its president on the group's own diversity, equity, and inclusion language. Larry walks through Gill's relentless line of questioning: whether the ABA president will admit to her own "implicit biases," whether race and gender factored into Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court nomination, whether the Court should reflect America's racial makeup, why there's never been a transgender Supreme Court justice, and whether race should factor into law school admissions. She dodges nearly every question — and Gill never lets her off the hook.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the first time, prominent Democrats are publicly breaking with the DSA wing of their own party. Larry breaks down John Fetterman calling out Bernie Sanders for legitimizing the socialists, James Carville's furious rant accusing DSA candidates of disrespecting Black political leaders like Jim Clyburn and MLK, and Zohran Mamdani's attempt to rebrand socialism by claiming a public library counts (spoiler: it doesn't). Plus the brewing Michigan Senate primary between Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed, where Democrat Hillary Scholten refuses to campaign with El-Sayed over his 9/11 comments and sexist attacks, and a closer look at the DSA's actual platform — abolishing the Senate, the Electoral College, and the presidency — raising the question of whether members who oppose the Constitution should be seated in Congress at all.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Part two of the New Jersey non-citizen voter registration story: CNN's homepage has nothing on it, but John Solomon of Just the News actually called the software company behind New Jersey's voter registration system — and they say there was no glitch at all. Larry walks through the DOJ's new investigation into the state, a very telling Freudian slip from former Governor Phil Murphy about how rarely voter fraud gets "uncovered," CNN and MSNBC's attempts to change the subject (TSA software risk, "Trump pouncing on it"), an old ABC News fact-check that aged badly, and Ro Khanna's real concern about this election cycle: keeping ICE away from polling places.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

House Republicans grilled the Smithsonian's American History Initiative director in a fiery oversight hearing this week, and Larry breaks down every viral moment. From a land-acknowledgment habit that opens nearly every meeting, to exhibits depicting bondage and cross-dressing aimed at kids, to a leaked "white supremacy culture" document that lists objectivity, politeness, and the nuclear family as red flags — Congressman Brandon Gill's methodical takedown steals the show. Plus: the director can't say whether America is the greatest nation in history, can't define "woman," gets pressed on abortion by Lauren Boebert, and Jasmine Crockett blames a soccer rivalry on racism.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani sat behind a desk with an American flag and delivered a formal address on Benjamin Netanyahu — laying out a list of war crime accusations before admitting what everyone already knew: he has no legal authority to arrest him. In this episode, Larry breaks down the claims in Mamdani's speech, the manipulative stagecraft behind it, his contradictory answer about a meeting request from the Iranian consulate, and old footage showing Mamdani calling Israel "not a country, just an idea" and dismissing a two-state solution as "physically impossible." Plus reactions from JD Vance calling him "a total clown" and resurfaced debate footage of Mamdani dodging every foreign policy question on the campaign trail.

New Jersey's Democrat governor Mikie Sherrill just admitted that roughly 6,600 noncitizens were improperly registered to vote — and she's blaming it on a "software glitch." In this episode, Larry breaks down why that excuse doesn't hold up, exposes the media's double standard in covering the story, and walks through exactly how the state's honor-system approach to voter registration let this happen. He also revisits a year's worth of Democrat and media clips insisting noncitizen voting "doesn't exist," contrasts it with how strictly the IRS checks your taxes, and makes the case for why the Save America Act would close this loophole for good.

Larry revisits Texas Senate Democratic nominee James Talarico's rough week courting black voters, starting with a fiery town hall confrontation from a woman angry that he beat Jasmine Crockett in the primary. From there it gets worse: at a second forum, Talarico is asked point blank if he supports reparations and an "anti-black crime bill," and responds with promises of tuition relief, homeownership grants, and baby bonds — while invoking his Christian faith. Larry argues that's not what reparations means to the voters demanding it, then digs into Talarico's contradictions on policing (claiming law enforcement is "weaponized" against black communities while defending his record against defunding it), his push for the stalled George Floyd Act, and his closing pitch on gerrymandering, the Supreme Court, and the Voting Rights Act. The takeaway: a candidate scrambling to shore up a base that's still furious he isn't Crockett.

A day after an anti-ICE extremist tried to firebomb 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan, the host breaks down what actually happened — and who's been cheering it on. FBI and NYPD press conference footage reveals the suspect, 43-year-old Army veteran Andrew Arrabaca, showed up armed with gasoline, fireworks, an airsoft rifle, two axes, a hammer, a machete, and three knives, wounding three people. The host contrasts the muted response from NYC Mayor and mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani with resurfaced footage of Mamdani confronting Tom Homan as a state assemblyman, and argues that Democratic rhetoric branding ICE as "Gestapo" and a "secret police" is fueling real-world violence against federal agents.

NYC Democratic Socialists of America chairman Gustavo Gordillo sat down with Martha MacCallum on Fox News, and it did not go well for him. We break down his dodgy answers on whether the DSA wants to abolish the US Senate (their platform says yes), his defense of government-run utilities using New York's failed wind farm projects as evidence, his claim that his own immigrant success story is "the exception," and his stunning assertion that no one has a constitutional right to a return on investment. We also dig into the DSA's actual platform — eliminating the Senate and Electoral College, ending deportations, defunding the Pentagon, and a wealth tax — and his claim that American "imperialism" is why his family fled Peru.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani sat down for a New York Times podcast and acted less like a mayor and more like he's already running the country. In this breakdown, we go through his claims that "democratic socialism" fixed New York's potholes and crime, his threat to have Prime Minister Netanyahu arrested under an ICC warrant if he visits the UN, his sanctuary city defiance of federal immigration law, and his refusal to say whether he's ever even been to the US-Mexico border. We also cover his ties to consultant Morris Katz — the man behind scandal-plagued candidate Graham Platner — and UN Ambassador Mike Waltz's response to Mamdani's Netanyahu threat.

After Trump's address on election interference, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) scolded CBS for airing it live — then spent the weekend making the media rounds himself. In this breakdown, we catch Warner contradicting himself in real time: telling Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation that China has no proven ability to interfere in U.S. elections, then telling Jonathan Karl on ABC the same day that China "has the capabilities." Warner also calls the SAVE Act's citizenship and photo ID requirements "Jim Crow," then falsely claims Virginia already requires photo ID to vote — a claim Karl corrects him on, on air. We break down the contradictions, the walk-backs, and why Warner dodges the idea of a national voter ID standard.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio convened a State Department summit titled "The Resurgence of Political Terrorism," delivering a forceful speech that names Antifa and allied far-left networks as a coordinated, transnational terrorist threat — with ties to groups like Iran's proxy networks and the Cuban regime. We break down the key moments, including Rubio's description of how these networks move money, training, and militants across borders, and his historical data on left-wing political violence in America dating back to the 1970s. We also contrast this with years of statements from officials like James Comey, Christopher Wray, and the Obama and Biden administrations downplaying or denying that Antifa operates as an organized threat, and we share a firsthand account of the 1954 armed attack on the U.S. House chamber by radical nationalist gunmen, whose bullet holes are still visible in the Capitol today.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After President Trump's prime-time address on Chinese election interference, major networks either ignored the speech or rushed to debunk it, while Democrats dismissed the claims as a "fairy tale." So we pulled the tape. This video walks through years of on-camera statements from Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Kamala Harris, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken — all warning, in their own words, that foreign countries (Russia, China, Iran) were interfering in U.S. elections and that voting systems were vulnerable to hacking. We line those old clips up against their reaction to Trump's speech last night and let you decide who's being consistent.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a prime-time address from the White House, President Trump unveiled newly declassified documents alleging that China carried out a massive, years-long effort to interfere in the 2020 election — including the theft of 220 million U.S. voter files, a scheme to produce fraudulent driver's licenses for illegal voting, and a coordinated campaign to pay off journalists and business leaders to turn against him. We break down the president's claims point by point and show you the actual documentation released on the White House website to back them up — the same documents most corporate media outlets have ignored or dismissed as "old news." We also look at how intelligence officials allegedly kept this information out of Trump's daily briefings, and what Congress could do right now to secure U.S. elections going forward.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Abdul El-Sayed, the self-described socialist neck-and-neck for the Democratic Senate nomination in Michigan, releases tax returns showing he and his wife made nearly $700K last year — despite years spent solely in public-sector jobs. The panel digs into his "defund the police" rhetoric (while he pays for armed private security), the Israel/AIPAC fight roiling his primary against Haley Stevens, and his pick for Senate Majority Leader: Chris Van Hollen, whose own record includes defending a Senate candidate's Nazi tattoo, championing a deported MS-13 gang member, and endorsing Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor.

Tim Walz finally addresses his pardon of an illegal immigrant convicted of child molestation, arguing deportation "wouldn't make Minnesota safer" and that "we can't all be judged by our worst day." Then Texas Senate candidate James Talarico claims a border wall is unnecessary because God already built one out of cliffs and mountains, and Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin describes ICE agents involved in recent shootings as having killed people "in cold blood."

JD Vance sat down with Joe Rogan for three hours and the panel breaks down the most explosive part: election integrity. They dig into the "super sus" LA mayoral race where mail-in ballots swung the outcome and passed a tax hike, make the case for voter ID, explain why the SAVE Act is stuck behind Senate filibuster rules, and unpack how counting illegal immigrants in the census shifts congressional seats and Electoral College votes away from law-abiding states. Clips from Vance's press gaggle with Mike Johnson round it out, plus a preview of Trump's big election-integrity speech.

Gavin Newsom is out with a new pitch, and Larry says it's really an audition for the socialist wing of the Democratic Party. First up: Newsom blames homelessness on "red tape" that blocks new construction — Larry breaks down why it's actually cost, not lack of building, driving the crisis. Then Newsom goes after wealth inequality and Elon Musk in language that echoes Hugo Chavez, prompting a closer look at why Musk really left California (hint: it's not just taxes). Finally, Larry unpacks Newsom's new favorite phrase, "democratize the economy," and explains why it's just socialism with a fresh coat of paint.

President Trump is teasing a "really big" Thursday speech on election integrity — and Larry connects the dots to Georgia, a Republican-dominated state that somehow keeps sending Democrats to the Senate. That brings in Senator Jon Ossoff's MSNBC sit-down with Jen Psaki, where Ossoff dodges questions on election security by pivoting to gas prices, accuses Trump of "Jim Crow 2.0," and calls Georgia racist — while Larry fact-checks the claim with rising Black voter turnout under the state's 2021 reforms. Plus: a jaw-dropping MSNBC graphic, a flashback to the 2020 Georgia election-night broadcast that raised eyebrows in real time, and Ossoff's not-so-subtle message to the CIA.

Joe Biden just announced his new memoir, "Promise Me, America" — and Larry breaks down the announcement video line by line. From the eerie echo of his "Promise Me, Dad" book about Beau (written while Hunter was allegedly on a crack binge), to everything conveniently missing from the "achievements" reel: the border crisis (6.9M+ apprehensions), the inflation Democrats denied in real time, and the Afghanistan withdrawal.

A gay cruise sailing the Mediterranean got denied entry — twice. First Turkey blocked the ship citing "moral standards," then Egypt turned it away too, with no explanation. This video breaks down the irony: many of the same LGBTQ activists who've marched as "Queers for Palestine" are now facing rejection from the very countries and causes they've stood in solidarity with, backed up by MEMRI translation clips showing what Islamist preachers actually say about gay people in a "free Palestine."

Hakeem Jeffries dodges reporters' questions on the Save Act (which would require voter ID and citizenship verification to register to vote), refusing to say why he opposes it. Then Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) says the quiet part out loud at a fundraiser: ensuring only U.S. citizens vote would make it "hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election." This video breaks down that comment, how motor-voter registration and driver's licenses for illegal immigrants set the stage for it, Slotkin's "fake book club" story about "tricking" Republican husbands, and Texas Senate candidate James Talarico's puzzling argument that a border wall would hurt tourism.

A deadly ICE shooting in Biddeford, Maine left an immigrant dead behind the wheel — and before any investigation, evidence, or facts were confirmed, Democrats and Democratic candidates were already calling federal agents "murderers." This video walks through what's actually known (bullet holes through the windshield, an eyewitness account, video of the vehicle moving toward agents), contrasts it with Fox News's chaotic on-the-ground coverage, and breaks down reactions from Maine Senate hopefuls Troy Jackson and Seth Moulton, AOC, Rep. Sylvia Garcia's "shoot the tires" comment, and Whoopi Goldberg's take on The View. The larger argument: Democrats benefit politically from unrest around ICE, and their rhetoric around "resistance" may be fueling more of these confrontations.

Rep. Ro Khanna claims he was "detained" by armed Israeli settlers and IDF soldiers while on a trip to the West Bank — and released a tearful selfie video describing the ordeal along with a string of secondhand horror stories. But the Israeli ambassador tells a very different story on Face the Nation: Khanna ignored the embassy's request to coordinate his trip, refused their offer to visit October 7th survivors, and instead coordinated with Palestinian activists and J Street. This video breaks down Khanna's viral claims, the video evidence, the ambassador's rebuttal, and how the whole episode conveniently distracted from Khanna's messy exit from endorsing scandal-plagued Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner — all while he eyes a 2028 presidential run.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Senator Lindsey Graham died suddenly Sunday morning after what his office called "a brief and unexpected illness" — just 36 hours after appearing energetic and healthy on a trip to Kyiv. This video covers the disturbing reactions from the left (Margaret Cho, Anika, and others celebrating his death), the odd timeline and messaging around his passing, President Trump's emotional call-in to Fox News Sunday recounting what may have been his last conversation with Graham, and a look back at Graham's career — from his "team player" approach to the Senate to his legendary takedown of Senate Democrats during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gavin Newsom says he's fine with the Democratic Socialists of America "taking over" his party — and it's on tape. This video breaks down Newsom comparing DSA to the Green Party he beat in San Francisco, his dodge on whether Israel is an "apartheid state," and his attacks on Netanyahu over the two-state solution. Then it exposes DSA's actual playbook: using the Democratic Party as a host (the "cuckoo" strategy) to win low-turnout primaries, take over city halls, and push socialism from the inside — in the words of DSA organizers and NYC's Zoran Mamdani. Closes with Rashida Tlaib's "seize the power" speech and why Schumer, Jeffries, and Newsom keep welcoming the far left instead of confronting it.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A breakdown of the evidence presented in the pretrial hearing for Tyler Robinson, charged with the first-degree murder of Charlie Kirk — including what prosecutors describe as four separate confessions, surveillance footage, ballistics and DNA evidence, and text messages between Robinson and his roommate. We also cover a widely circulated open letter from researcher "Data Republican" that fact-checks, claim by claim, the alternate theories pushed by Candace Owens on her show — including claims about who was on the rooftop, the cause of death, and an alleged ritualistic motive — measuring them against sworn testimony from the trial.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gavin Newsom is under a federal investigation that reportedly began under the Biden administration, and new reporting claims someone inside his inner circle wore a wire for the FBI. We look at President Trump's latest Truth Social broadside calling him "New Scum," then break down Newsom's press conference meltdown — from his "great grift" rant defending California's Prop 50 gerrymander, to his claim that the FBI is "abusing" him and his family, to a tense back-and-forth with reporters who press him directly on the investigation. Plus, a closer look at his body language: the rapid blinking, the flop sweat, and whether any of it looks like a man who's confident in his own innocence.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Governor Tim Walz pardoned a foreign national convicted of sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl, keeping him in Minnesota just days before his scheduled deportation. Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded by revoking the man's legal status, and federal agents removed him from the country. Larry breaks down the story, then puts Minnesota AG Keith Ellison's evasive answers on illegal immigration to the test against Sen. Bernie Moreno's simple questions. Plus: a heated CNN exchange over Americans killed by illegal immigrants, Rubio's new push to designate Antifa-aligned groups as terrorists worldwide, and a look inside the Party for Socialism and Liberation's own words on what a "socialist revolution" would mean for the U.S. — and how closely it lines up with the Democratic Socialists of America.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Air Force One home from NATO, President Trump bragged that the US hit Iran "20 to 1" and told reporters Iran "called a little while ago" begging for a deal — while ticking off 159 sunk ships, a collapsed granite mountain, and 350% inflation. Then at his NATO closing presser, a reporter called the Iran war a "strategic dead end," and Trump buried him. Watch Secretary Marco Rubio completely lose his poker face the moment Trump answered "what changed" with "I got to know him so well."Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Graham Platner just torched an 11-minute video quitting the Maine Senate race — one month after winning the Democratic primary by 150,000 votes — and spent the whole thing blaming "oligarchs" and the establishment instead of the sexual assault accusation, Nazi tattoo, and "P hustle" dating-app posts that actually sank him. Even better: he accidentally admitted he was only using the Democratic Party's money and machine to run. And John Fetterman — the ONE Democrat who called Platner a "trash bag" from day one — took a victory lap on Fox News that has to be seen.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
