Megyn Kelly is joined by Victor Davis Hanson, author of "The Dying Citizen," to discuss President Joe Biden taking credit for the release of Israeli hostages by Hamas, how the Biden administration is trying to argue it can reason with Hamas terrorists, the media's ridiculous spin about the criminal Palestinians being released in the hostage exchange, the left's nonstop focus on DEI as demographics change the West, how universities are driving anti-Israel sentiment in America, a new push by the Biden administration to make sure border patrol agents use proper pronouns when encountering illegal migrants crossing the border, a scary situation at Hillcrest High School with a pro-Israel teacher, American CEOs giving a standing ovation to China President Xi, and more. Then former prosecutor Marcia Clark and defense attorney Mark Geragos join to discuss whether Elon Musk has a legitimate chance of winning his lawsuit against Media Matters over claims about X advertisements and anti-Semitic content, the significance of where it was filed, bombshell lawsuits against Mayor Eric Adams, Harvey Weinstein, and more as the New York law waiving the Statue of limitations on sexual assault ends, whether it's fair to those accused, a hockey player being charged with manslaughter over a throat slashing death on the ice, Derek Chauvin being stabbed in prison, and more.
