Megyn Kelly is joined by Judge Amul Thapar, author of "The People's Justice," and Charles C.W Cooke of National Review to discuss the Supreme Court’s major decision about the Colorado web designer, how the First Amendment applies to the case, what the landmark decision means for free speech, the massive decision on Biden’s "student loan forgiveness" plan, the importance of separation of powers, hysterical reaction from MSNBC, why Justice Clarence Thomas has a "strong black voice" and the horrible smears against him, Biden's "normal court" comment, and more. Then Kristen Waggoner, CEO of Alliance Defending Freedom, joins to discuss her client's victory, how the use of pronouns can be forced speech, what comes next for ADF, and more.
