LARRY with Larry O'Connor

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.

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.

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.

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." The panel breaks down all three moments and what they say about the Democratic Party's stance on immigration enforcement.

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. Plus, Lindsey Graham's unforgettable nickname for Biden, and the worst decision of his presidency — before he even took office.

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." Plus, a cruiser's viral reaction video and Patti LuPone's outraged (and slightly confused) selfie response.

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.

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.

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.

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.
