Summary

Megyn Kelly is joined by Graham Linehan, comedy writer and co-creator of Father Ted, to discuss his recent arrest over a few posts on X about "trans" issues, the harassment he says he has faced from radical transgender activists, the personal toll taking a stand has taken on his life and career, the backsliding in the culture of free speech, the details surrounding his arrest, his decision to sue the police over the arrest, and more. Then Charlie Cooke and Rich Lowry of National Review join to discuss the horrifying stabbing of a young Ukrainian woman in Charlotte, the decision by the national media not to cover it, details about the incident and the repeat offender, shocking remarks made by the Charlotte mayor, the hypocrisy of the media covering certain crimes but refusing to cover others like in Charlotte, the viral moment over a home run ball debacle at a Phillies game with a "Karen" fan, the unspoken rules behind this type of scenario, and more.
