Summary

Megyn Kelly is joined by legendary actor and producer James Woods to discuss Biden’s speech to the nation last night after dropping out of the race, how he didn’t address his health conditions, the media fawning over "hero" Biden, his incredible career as an actor and producer, why he loves America and how he stays so patriotic, how he stays friends with liberal Hollywood stars like Rob Reiner and Whoopi Goldberg, how conservatives are forced to stay quiet today, how Hollywood silences conservatives today, his personal experience with "Oppenheimer," how he isn’t afraid to speak his mind and the second act he's having now, and more. Then Jim VandeHei, co-founder and CEO of Axios and author of “Just the Good Stuff," joins to discuss the state of the media, how political bias seeps into coverage, the past month and coverage of Biden's cognitive decline, the "border czar" controversy, the impact Trump has had on the media over the years, the importance of finding sources and networks that you can trust, the most important states and demographics in the 2024 election, why Harris will likely pick a white male VP, the swift coronation of Harris by the left, and more. Plus, Megyn addresses the insane antisemitic riots happening in Washington D.C., the ridiculous and dangerous pro-Hamas protestors and their radical views, the brave Americans protecting our flag, and more.

0:17.0	President Joe Biden giving his farewell address of sorts last night,
0:22.0	an 11 minute scripted campaign like speech that
0:26.0	was as the New York Times described delivered quote with a rasp and a slight
0:29.9	slur in his voice speaking sometimes haltingly.
0:33.6	Remember all those descriptions before he dropped out,
0:37.1	before this became an issue by the New York Times
0:39.1	when they would point out
0:40.2	how he was obviously deteriorating before the debate.
0:42.8	No, me neither.
0:44.0	Now we're going to be super obvious and on the nose
0:48.0	and all over his deterioration
0:51.0	because he's a liability and he will be the dumping ground for everything in order to
0:56.8	inoculate her. In any event, the speech gave no indication why he stepped aside as
1:01.7	the nominee. I guess we're not entitled to know. I guess it's just
