Mentions on Fox shows of the very newsworthy confrontation between Schmitt and Jack Smith: Ingraham (7-8pm): 0 Watters (8-9): 0 Hannity (9-10): 0 Gutfeld (10-11): 0 Fox & Friends this AM: 0

Eric Schmitt’s team-name error is funny. But to understand just how bad of shape we’re in as a country, consider this: It’s not clear that this humiliation will hurt his aspirations to higher office. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

“It wasn’t a mistake”🤔 “Who knew Jack Smith was a Caitlin Clark fan?” 🤔 @ericschmittmo pathetically attempts to play it off and act like he didn’t publicly humiliate himself in front of the nation today 🤡

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

Aaron is not underrating this. It's cinema. The sly smirk when Schmitt thinks he's gotten Smith to perjure himself. The hasty vanishing of the sign. Klobuchar getting Kennedy to hold it up. Schmitt getting LOUD and ANGRY when Klobuchar points out he mixed up the Hawks and Hawkeyes.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

Billy Joel releases “The Stranger” 49 years ago today. “I remember thinking, 'it needs some sort of introduction,’” Joel recalled. I played one for Phil [Ramone, the album's producer] “and whistled along.” “I said, 'What instrument do you think should do that?' Phil said, 'You just did it.'”
