LARRY with Larry O'Connor

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

JD Vance took the fight to Wisconsin, calling out Democrats on government fraud and daring them to pass voter ID if they want the fraud talk to stop. Hours later, Spencer Pratt — denied a spot on the LA mayoral runoff ballot — dropped a viral breakdown of exactly how that happened: he led by 40,000 votes on election night, then late mail ballots swung 43,000 votes to the one Democrat who needed them, under a law Gavin Newsom signed five days before the election banning oversight of ballot counting. Larry unpacks the "red mirage" myth, the envelope/ballot separation trick, and what it means that Pratt was just seen in the Oval Office with Trump and Susie Wiles.

The women of The View tangled over Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, with Alyssa Farah Griffin branding Democrats "the Epstein protector party" and Sunny Hostin admitting she'd "plug her nose" and vote for him anyway despite the abuse allegations against him. Marjorie Taylor Greene, now a View ally, melted down over AIPAC and called Israel's war "genocide." Plus Lindsey Fifield's account to CNN's Jake Tapper — and why Bernie Sanders still hasn't actually pulled his support.

President Trump used a NATO summit photo op in Turkey to unload on Iran, calling its leaders "scum," "cuckoo," and "sick people" while declaring the ceasefire effectively over. He warned of fresh strikes "again tonight," floated reinstating a blockade on Iranian oil, and — when New York Times reporter Tyler Pager asked what changed — told the room to "just finish the job." Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's frozen reaction as the president floated the blockade says it all.

Donald Trump Jr. sat in the Utah courtroom as prosecutors laid out the evidence against Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk — and he walked away calling the case "cut and dry." Minute-by-minute surveillance video, DNA testing, and Robinson's own text messages to his roommate paint a devastating picture. And yet CNN, the New York Times, and the Washington Post have gone nearly silent on the trial.

Lindsey Fifield handed the New York Times five witnesses, diary entries, screenshots and emails documenting Graham Platner's abuse — and the Times called only the two who knew nothing, then told readers it "could not corroborate" her story. A Times MeToo reporter who helped break Harvey Weinstein went on CNN to insist Platner's accusations weren't "classic MeToo," and columnist Charles Blow defended him with a "two separate rule books" excuse the day the story broke.

Jenny Racicot went on CNN and told Jake Tapper everything Graham Platner did to her — and Tapper spent as much time pressing her on whether she still wanted a Democrat in the Senate as he did on what Platner actually did. Larry breaks down Tapper's "gross" loaded questions, Platner's own Reddit post blaming drunk women, and the fact that Bernie Sanders still hadn't dropped him — apparently too busy running a poll.

Graham Platner called the new allegations against him "false" — then abruptly paused his Maine Senate campaign to "reflect," and the timing lines up perfectly with the moment his super PAC money dried up. Then Debbie Dingell went on CNN and couldn't finish a sentence, calling the "real victims" the Democrats who endorsed him and insisting the party has to "fight fire with fire."

The Michigan Democratic Senate primary just went from three candidates to two — and it's a microcosm of the whole party. Abdul El-Sayed deleted his defund-the-police tweets, then refused to say whether Israel has a right to exist in a tense CNN sit-down with Casey Hunt, calling it a "gotcha game." Larry O'Connor breaks down Mallory McMorrow dropping out, El-Sayed's Taylor Swift image makeover, AOC's endorsement, and why Haley Stevens and the AIPAC fight could hand the seat to Republican Mike Rogers.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore used the 4th of July to redefine patriotism as "nationalism" and accuse the right of banning books and rewriting history — from the oldest statehouse in America. Then Spencer Pratt answered from the burned rubble of the Pacific Palisades with the speech the entire right is now sharing: a home-and-memory metaphor explaining why communists must erase your history first. Larry O'Connor breaks down Wes Moore's hypocrisy and why Spencer Pratt just became one of the best communicators on the right.

Zohran Mamdani sat behind George Washington's desk — backwards, jammed against a fireplace — to lecture America on the 4th of July, using ten newly naturalized citizens as silent human props. Larry O'Connor tears apart Mamdani's "American exceptionalism" speech line by line, exposes the pro-Hamas activist lecturing Americans on treating Jewish people, and breaks down the miserable face Mamdani made at a press conference after an NYPD detective was shot.

Pramila Jayapal went on MSNBC and said she'd skip July 4th to celebrate new citizens instead of Americans born here — then got cornered on the street by a Lindell TV reporter who asked her to name ONE socialist country that worked, and she couldn't do it. Adam Schiff went on CNN and claimed closing prisons, defunding police, and opening borders are "not within the mainstream of the Democratic Party" — the exact policies of the last administration. And CNN's Abby Phillips started parroting the Marxist "oligarch" line on air before a panelist shut it down.

Zohran Mamdani ordered every New Yorker and every business to crank their thermostats up to 78 degrees in the middle of a brutal heat wave — while the CNN studios, Broadway theaters running Hamilton, and Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Madison Square Garden wedding keep the AC blasting. Then Mamdani got cornered at a press conference over the "free busses" he promised on every TikTok and campaign ad, and quietly admitted the budget only expands reduced fares. The affordability mayor can't even keep his own signature promise.

JB Pritzker went on camera and diagnosed Donald Trump with dementia — then admitted "I'm not a doctor, I haven't diagnosed anything." This is the same governor who spent four years swearing Joe Biden was sharp as a tack. Trump answered the whole Trump-Derangement crowd with a fake AI "Doctor Trump" ad, right after standing in front of the Rough Riders at the Teddy Roosevelt Library and branding the communists a "group of losers."

JD Vance predicted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be the Democrats' 2028 nominee — and when a reporter told AOC to her face, her reaction was genuinely bizarre: closed eyes, a creepy smile, and an "I hope he is." Stephen Miller torched the Supreme Court's 5-4 birthright citizenship ruling on Fox, while JD Vance argued the narrow margin means the whole concept is "hanging by a thread." Plus: a 15-term Democrat just got wiped out by a socialist in Colorado as the left keeps eating its own.

The Supreme Court punted on birthright citizenship — but the real story is the split screen between the justices. Ketanji Brown Jackson's concurrence misquoted the Declaration of Independence and dropped phrases like "understood the assignment" and "keepers of the call of remembrance," while Clarence Thomas fired back with a 91-page dissent warning the ruling "will not stand the test of time." Thomas also upheld biological reality in women's sports the same week — and Larry revisits how Joe Biden and Nina Totenberg tried to destroy Thomas in 1991.
