Summary

Megyn Kelly is joined by National Review's Charles C.W. Cooke and Michael Brendan Dougherty to talk about why this week's GOP debate really matters, the latest on the Trump trials and if Trump could be in jail come November, if there will actually be any general election debates, NBC pressing DeSantis on dropping out, what each candidate can gain and lose from tomorrow's debate, Nikki Haley's appeal and "boomlet," if Haley needs DeSantis in the race or out, The Atlantic's new hyperbolic anti-Trump issue, the hypocrisy of the left when it comes to "democracy" and "norms," the reality of Trump's first term, Sen. John Fetterman using George Santos to troll Sen. Bob Menendez, and more. Then Josh Hammer of Newsweek and Seth Mandel of Commentary join to talk about the hypocritical administrators like Harvard's Claudine Gay when it comes to anti-Semitism and free speech, continued outrageous anti-Israel sentiment on college campuses in America, the flawed solution of putting Jews under the DEI umbrella, Rep. Jayapal's embarrassing CNN interview trying to change the subject about Hamas atrocities aimed at women, those who refuse to simply condemn Hamas, the faulty oppressor and oppressed framing, the true anti-Israel politics of progressives in Congress today, and more. Plus Megyn reveals big news about her husband Doug Brunt's book, "The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel."
