Megyn Kelly is joined by Stu Burguiere, host of BlazeTV's "Stu Does America," to discuss Gov. Gavin Newsom deflecting responsibility and going on Pod Save America to try to save his political career, how LA mayor Karen Bass promised citizens she wouldn't leave the country as mayor but ended up in Ghana during wildfires, CNN's "fact checker" getting the facts wrong about the LA wildfires and Palisades reservoir, lack of responsibility from government officials, the failures of the woke leadership in LA and all of California, liberal residents finally angry with Democrats and wanting to vote them out, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry getting in front of the cameras to “help” LA citizens after wildfires, their constant need for attention, and more. Then Ilya Shapiro, author of "Lawless," joins to discuss how a woke mob tried to ruin his career and cancel him, what he learned from the experience, the sorry state of many law schools in America, how college students can combat wokeness and change higher education for the better from the inside, why it's important to stay true to yourself and your beliefs, and more.
