Megyn Kelly is joined by Mark Halperin, host of "Next Up," to discuss Zohran Mamdani's head of the "office to Protect Tenants" Cea Weaver melting down and crying when the media asked her questions, her attempt to justify some of her past insane comments about "white supremacy" and property rights, the new CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil bizarrely crying in a social media promo clip, the “feminization” of news anchors, even more new fraud allegations in Minnesota, Tim Walz blaming Trump and citing January 6, and more. Then David Grusch, UFO whistleblower and former USAF officer, joins to discuss the bombshell new documentary "Age of Disclosure" about “non-human intelligence" and UAPs, what Grusch knows about what is still being kept secret, what the CIA and both political parties have been hiding about UFOs and what sort of craft America has recovered, whether more disclosure is likely to come soon, and more. Then Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida joins to discuss why she believes UAPs and UFOs are real and what others in the government have been hiding, why more disclosure to the public is necessary, and more. Finally Megyn covers the breaking news of a shooting by a DHS official in Minneapolis.
