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.
