The cut sheet turns to Trump’s warning about migration in Britain, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s suggestion that families buy liver or less costly cuts of meat and the crew’s very firm rejection of liver. We finish with Ted Cruz and Mike Lee pressing the Senate to stay in Washington for the SAVE America Act, voter ID and proof-of-citizenship rules.
We carry the election-security debate into the 8 o’clock hour with campaign tactics, door knocking and social video. New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill says she backs voter ID but opposes the SAVE America Act, while the crew returns to the software error that placed roughly 6,600 noncitizens on state voter rolls. From there, we examine Larry Sabato’s race changes, Jon Ossoff’s Georgia Senate contest with Mike Collins and a Texas poll involving Ken Paxton and James Talarico.
The political cut sheet then moves to Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff’s $8.15 million Point Dume home and the racial criticism surrounding access to the nearby beach. Jasmine Crockett’s claim that Black women are highly educated yet face severe unemployment sparks a debate about college degrees, job skills and how political figures frame economic outcomes. We then open the Fauci files as Rand Paul releases more than 1,000 pages of Anthony Fauci’s journals ahead of a Senate hearing.
The Fauci segment runs through pandemic distancing rules, the origin inquiry, his Fifth Amendment answers, the scope of President Biden’s pardon and Paul’s push for a contempt referral. We also discuss Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier’s state inquiry and whether another hearing changes any minds. The hour then shifts to the Ben to the Shore charity ride, Greg’s fundraising stunt, Alex Jones predictions, an Angel Reese–Paige Bueckers wager, the Seattle Storm co-owner’s confrontation with teen fans and Charley Hull’s fake £100,000 scratchcard prank on caddie Adam Woodward.
