Megyn Kelly is joined by Rod Dreher, senior editor at The American Conservative, and retired major general Michael Repass, to talk about the narrative about Russia and Ukraine in the mainstream media and the costs of countering the narrative, the power of "good intentions" when it comes to foreign policy, the ruling class push for war, the result and effect of moralizing on the crisis, what's behind the coverage of Russia compared to China or Saudi Arabia, the complicated relationship between Russia and Ukraine, corporations becoming moral arbiters, how "cancel culture" plays into the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the case for a limited no-fly zone over Ukraine, the ramifications of war with Ukraine, the actual effects of sanctions on Russia, the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and one that might be in Russia, the state of Putin's military, Putin's war strategy, the truth about NATO, America's involvement in Ukraine's past elections, and more.
