Summary

Megyn Kelly is joined by Spencer Klavan, host of "Young Heretics," to talk about the need to speak up and speak your mind, our cultural trend of wallowing in victimhood and glamorizing suffering, the misery hierarchy, the inherent smallness and sorrow of identity politics, Trump remaining at the center of the political universe for both parties, manipulating the establishment systems, the dangerous politicization of the military, the DOJ, and the FBI, what happens when young men don't have faith in their society, the role of women in today's culture, Meghan Markle's "diva" moment, Lizzo "clapping back" at her critics, the focus on credentials and the reality of higher education, the importance of fathers, his relationship with his dad Andrew Klavan, what drew him to his husband Josh, the real definition of "freedom," and more.
