Summary

Megyn Kelly begins the show by discussing the New York Times complete puff piece about the family of Idaho murderer Bryan Kohberger, their complete whitewashing of important details and questions about what the family knew, and more. Then Glenn Greenwald, host of Rumble's "System Update,” joins to discuss Trump saying we're going to "keep the oil" in Venezuela, how America is planning to "nurse" the country back to health, whether Maduro's dancing had something to do with American intervention, Trump and Stephen Miller teasing they may just take Greenland, whether America could get kicked out of NATO and if that would be a good thing, and more. Then Rich Lowry, editor of National Review, joins to discuss why Trump is taking a “traditional American approach” to foreign policy with his Venezuela actions, the argument that his saber-rattling is all just about putting America in the best position possible, Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new tenant director’s insane views on property ownership, her outlandish targeting of "white" people, and more. Then clarinetist James Zimmermann joins to talk about why he's suing the Knoxville Symphony over their actions after he won a blind audition, the DEI policies he spoke out about in his past, and more.
