Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, your home for Open, Honest, and Provocative Conversations.

Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show live from SiriusXM HQ in New York City today.

A little later in the show, I'm going to be joined by a couple we first had on and absolutely loved last year.

In the world of Hollywood, these guys are a breath of fresh air, but we begin with politics.

President Biden is back from his month-long vacation.

It's okay, he's only president. I'm sure you all take a month-long vacation too.

And it's going exactly as you would expect, as he and his top spokesperson fumbled their way through various media events,

getting key facts wrong and flat out refusing to answer simple questions about Hunter Biden.

Plus, crime and environmentalist chaos on the west coast as we see increasing examples of people having had enough of the environmentalist nonsense on the streets, blockades of the traffic.

We've got a couple of great examples, which we'll show you as people say we've had enough of this ridiculousness.

Joining me now to discuss it all, VDH Victor Davis Hansen is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and author of the dying citizen.

Victor, welcome back to the show. Thanks for having me, Megan.

Great to see you. All right, so let's just start with President Biden, who I mean truly he's been on vacation for a month between his time at Rehoboth Beach in Delaware to the trip out west to Lake Tahoe.

One little stint to Maui under pressure to actually show some sort of heart for those whose lives were destroyed by this fire.

It's been vacation after vacation. So now he comes back and he has asked about the Jacksonville, Florida shooting.

All right, this is sat one and you tell me whether you can understand even just maybe ten words together of what he says here on what just happened just as a reminder for our audience three people were shot and killed in Jacksonville.

They were black. The shooter was white. He then killed himself. It was obviously a disturbed young man. I think it was 22 years old and any event he was asked about it. Here's what he said.

And so we have to act against the same fuel violence. And so it's happening. By the way, almost five years to the day that five young blacks were killed in Jacksonville. I did it earlier.

I think I'm at a gun shop store. They're doing the kids toys. And we have to speak out.

There's a whole group of extreme people trying to erase history. Trying to walk away from it. The idea that we're sitting here.

And I never thought that I'd be present alone, be present and having a discussion on why books are being banned in American schools.

And on the administration, we're going to march forward.
