Donald Trump called into The Five on Fox News and immediately went after co-host Jessica Tarlov — calling her "not a fan," accusing her of using "fake numbers," and asking Jesse Watters if she was kicked off the show. Larry O'Connor reacts to Trump's appearance on The Five, his comments on the Iran Ayatollah, and his demand that John Thune nuke the filibuster.

Democrats shut down the Department of Homeland Security for over 40 days — and walked away with nothing. Chuck Schumer demanded ICE mask removal and judicial warrants for deportations. He got zero reforms. Larry O'Connor breaks down the DHS shutdown deal, Trump's TSA executive order, and why the House just rejected the Senate's midnight vote.

Gavin Newsom was asked about Kamala Harris on a podcast and said she's his best friend of 20-plus years. Then he explained that what she wrote about him in her book was a lie — fabricated just to sell copies — and admitted he hasn't read a word of it. Larry O'Connor walks through the answer in real-time and shows how Newsom accidentally called his "BFF" a greedy liar on camera. Larry O'Connor exposes Gavin Newsom's pattern of deception — from fake tears to empty transparency promises to laughing about corruption with Willie Brown.

Chicago just held a press conference to unveil a snowplow named "Abolish ICE" — with Mayor Brandon Johnson grinning for the cameras — days after an 18-year-old girl was murdered in his city by an illegal immigrant that sanctuary policies shielded from deportation. Then it got worse: in Fairfax County, Virginia, a 19-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador was enrolled in a public high school with 14-year-old girls, where he's now accused of groping them between classes. Larry O'Connor connects the dots between Chicago's sanctuary city failures, JB Pritzker's hypocrisy on "tyranny," Dick Durbin's silence, and a Virginia school policy that allows 22-year-old illegal immigrants to sit in classrooms with freshmen. Larry O'Connor breaks down Trump's explosive cabinet meeting on Iran, Venezuela's oil boom, and the reporter who actually asked the President to reveal his secret war plans on live television.

Pete Hegseth just delivered the most dominant Secretary of War briefing in modern history — and dropped a line that will define Operation Epic Fury: "The Department of War will continue negotiating with bombs." At Trump's cabinet meeting today, Hegseth revealed Iran's IRGC Navy commander was killed overnight, over 150 naval vessels have been sunk, and A-10 Warthogs are flying strike missions inside Iranian airspace unopposed. Then he reminded everyone that the weapons we're destroying were paid for by Barack Obama's pallets of cash. Larry O'Connor breaks down Trump's explosive cabinet meeting on Iran, Venezuela's oil boom, and the reporter who actually asked the President to reveal his secret war plans on live television.

A Democrat admitted on-air that Senate Democrats are blocking DHS funding because "we think we're winning" — while Americans wait 7.5 hours in TSA lines. Larry O'Connor and David From of Americans for Prosperity break down why Patrick Henry's 251-year-old call to action puts today's Senate Democrats to shame. Larry O'Connor connects Patrick Henry's famous "give me liberty or give me death" speech to the ongoing government shutdown and Senate Democrats' refusal to fund the Department of Homeland Security.

Larry O'Connor breaks down the DeSantis-Newsom debate backstory Sean Hannity just revealed, Gavin Newsom's disastrous Patrick Bateman comparison, and why Newsom calling the SAVE Act a "code red" tells you everything about who Democrats expect to vote.

Trump just paused U.S. military strikes against Iran for five days after secret negotiations led by Jared Kushner and Steve Wyckoff — and when a reporter asked him to name his Iranian contact, Trump said four words that stopped the room cold: "I don't want him killed."

J.B. Pritzker just revealed the number-one item on his presidential agenda — and it has nothing to do with making your life better. The governor of Illinois sat down with the New York Times to announce what Democrats are calling "Project 2029." The centerpiece: criminally prosecuting Trump administration officials and federal agents once Democrats retake the White House. Not the economy. Not crime. Not inflation. Jailing political opponents. The NYT host responded with what can only be described as barely concealed enthusiasm. This is the same man who told a national interviewer that Chicago's murder rate had been "cut in half" on his watch — while Chicago ranked first in violent crime per 100,000 people among major U.S. cities, ahead of Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, and New York. He also quietly changed Illinois law to require that any lawsuit against his state government be filed in Cook County — a jurisdiction with a well-documented relationship with the political class that runs it. While Pritzker was busy mapping out political prosecution plans, Senator Mike Lee called the Senate's bluff. He brought a unanimous consent vote on voter ID — a measure 80% of Americans support, and one multiple Democrats had publicly claimed to back. Democrats blocked it. Hours earlier, Nancy Pelosi had gone on CNN to promise that a Democratic majority would take the "partisanship" out of Washington. She tore up a State of the Union speech on national television. But sure — less partisan. When J.B. Pritzker talks about locking up Trump and prosecuting his administration, understand who he's really talking about. MAGA Republicans in the latest polling show 100% approval of Donald Trump. That's not an attack on one man. That's an attack on all of us.

Democrats blocked funding for the Department of Homeland Security to protect illegal immigrants — and now working Americans are standing in 150-minute TSA lines while members of Congress walk right past them. Senate Democrats, including James Talarico who wants to flip Texas blue, have refused to fund DHS as leverage for illegal immigrant protection. The result: airports in Atlanta and Houston are reporting TSA wait times of 150 minutes or more, with lines wrapping through baggage claims and down escalators. The stated justification involves ICE and Border Patrol — two agencies already funded through 2027. This disruption to ordinary Americans' lives is entirely optional. And it's entirely on purpose. A viral video from Ronald Reagan National Airport showed exactly who isn't waiting in those lines. Congresswomen Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Nancy Mace were both captured on camera being escorted directly past security by staffers with security badges — straight to the front of the process, no line required. They vote on DHS funding. They don't experience DHS lines. Until the people creating this problem feel the problem, nothing will change. Then something happened on the Senate floor that almost never happens. Bernie Sanders delivered his standard billionaire-versus-working-families speech — the same one he's been giving since 1996 — and Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio stood up and answered. Moreno used every word of it back at him. The 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck. The families going hungry. The workers in crisis. Those, Moreno pointed out, are TSA agents. TSA agents whose last Democrat Secretary of Homeland Security confirmed already live paycheck to paycheck. TSA agents who have now missed three paychecks because Sanders' party blocked DHS funding. Sanders — who quietly dropped "millionaires" from his stump speech once he became one himself — had no response. A new Pew Research Center poll shows only 18% of Americans believe being "extremely rich" is morally wrong. That's a smaller number than the Democrat base. Their entire economic argument — the guilt, the shame, the moral framing of wealth — depends on that number being higher. Senator Moreno didn't just win a Senate floor exchange. He took their weapon and broke it.

Japan's Prime Minister stood in the White House and told Donald Trump, to his face: "I firmly believe that it is only you, Donald, who can achieve peace across the world." Then she walked down the colonnade and saw Joe Biden's official portrait. Prime Minister Ishiba made her first visit to the White House this week, and the relationship she telegraphed with President Trump was striking on multiple levels. She delivered her opening greeting in English — struggling with the language but choosing to do it anyway, without a translator — as a deliberate signal of personal respect to both the president and the American public. European leaders speak English because they have to. She did it because she wanted to. Later in the evening, she singled out Barron Trump by name, wished him a happy birthday, and told the president it was "very clear" where Barron got his looks — "from his parents, of course." She also committed on camera to personally rallying the international community behind Trump's efforts toward peace in the Middle East. The contrast with the media's ongoing "Trump is isolated from allies" narrative could not be more stark. Then came the Pearl Harbor moment. Trump, explaining why he hadn't pre-warned allies about U.S. strikes in the Middle East, turned to the Prime Minister mid-press conference and asked: "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?" The room laughed. Then it got quiet. Then he did the full "am I right, am I right?" to the gallery before pivoting to a straight-faced explanation of military strategy. Larry's take: funny, a little uncomfortable, and very Trump. On her tour of the White House colonnade, PM Ishiba spotted the row of presidential portraits — Trump 45, Biden, Trump 47 — and immediately burst out laughing when she saw Biden's name above an auto-pen signature. She covered her mouth. The interpreter lost it too. She was in the White House. She knew exactly what that signature meant.

Texas' new Democrat Senate nominee once declared that white skin gives every white American "immunity from the virus" of racism — and that white Americans "spread it wherever we go." When asked to explain himself, he said it was taken out of context. That was the entirety of the statement. James Talarico won the Texas Democrat Senate primary over Jasmine Crockett, which Larry argues was a major unforced error for the left — Crockett was a far stronger general election candidate. Now Talarico faces either John Cornyn or Ken Paxton in the fall, and new polling shows neither Republican is running away from him. Cornyn's approval rating has cratered 13 points underwater statewide and dropped 29 points among Republicans since his 2020 reelection — not exactly the picture of "electability" the establishment has been selling. At a South by Southwest appearance with Fox News' Jessica Tarlov, Talarico was given a friendly platform to walk back his "white skin as a virus" tweet. His defense: it was out of context. But when Larry reads the full quote, it is the context. Then Talarico pivots to his classic escape hatch — "all I was saying is racism is bad" — and Larry dissects exactly how this rhetorical trick works: take a wildly divisive, racially charged statement, then reduce it to an anodyne truism that no one disagrees with, and accuse anyone who objects of being triggered by anti-racism. Then there's the beef. In 2022, Talarico proudly declared his Texas campaign a "no-meat vegan campaign," citing climate change and animal welfare — essentially telling Texans that their brisket and T-bones are immoral. Houston radio host Jesse Kelly later tweeted that Talarico is, in fact, a regular meat-eater. The Talarico campaign's response? They posted a photo of him eating a giant hunk of meat. In Texas. While running for Senate. President Donald Trump, appearing on Fox News with Brian Kilmeade, called Talarico's statements "an insult to Jesus" and said he's "beyond woke — grossly incompetent." Talarico shot back from an actual pulpit, invoking the Sermon on the Mount and the Lord's Prayer to justify government healthcare and immigration policy. He closed with a flourish: "There's only been one perfect Christian. And he was crucified on a cross 2000 years ago." Larry's response was calm and precise: Jesus was not a Christian. He was the Christ. There's a difference — and it matters.

Cenk Uygur joined Piers Morgan's panel to debate the Iran war and called Ben Ferguson an "Israel first son of a bitch" on live television. It didn't stop there. Pete Hegseth took to the podium today to brief the American people directly — bypassing the press — on the U.S. military's campaign against Iran. By every measure from every military expert Larry spoke to, it's been a nearly unmitigated success: over 120 Iranian Navy ships damaged or sunk, all 11 of Iran's submarines destroyed, and Iran's military ports crippled. Whether you agree with the strategy or not, the tactical execution has been extraordinary. But the media isn't covering that. Instead, they're running what Larry's Salem Media colleague Dennis Prager calls the "proctologist view of America" — always looking for the worst possible angle, especially when a Republican is in the White House. Hegseth put it plainly: a dishonest, anti-Trump press will stop at nothing to downplay progress and amplify every cost. Then came the Piers Morgan panel. Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur sat down with Ben Ferguson to debate the Iran conflict — and within minutes was screaming obscenities, calling Ferguson a traitor, claiming Israel paid $100 million to Congress and $337 million to Donald Trump, and demanding everyone "stop working for Israel, you corrupt sons of bitches." Ben Ferguson's reaction said everything. Piers Morgan thanked his guests — including the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Foreign Minister of Norway, who had the misfortune of witnessing it all. Meanwhile, Ilhan Omar, who has been a Minnesotan for "a minute and a half" per Larry, weighed in on fellow Minnesotan Pete Hegseth — calling him "pathetic" and lamenting his presence on the national stage. Larry had thoughts on that too.
