Summary

Megyn Kelly begins the show describing her July 4th celebration, and gives reasons why America is worth celebrating. Then Megyn is joined by Noah Rothman, author of "The Rise of the New Puritans," to talk about the progressive woke left's misery, the sanctimony in our culture today, the puritanical backlash in America, the left eating its own in our new culture, the narcissism of being easily offended, emotional blackmail, and more. Then Jason Kander, author of "Invisible Storm," joins the show to talk about PTSD and the military, the trauma we all experience, being honest about mental injuries, Kander's political ambitions, how the veteran experience can be improved, the parade shooting in Illinois, how we can realistically help stop mass shootings, and more. Finally, Dr. Caroline Messer, founder of Well by Messer, discusses her new practice and a new way to treat weight loss, the endocrinology approach to the issue, and more.
