Mark Joseph
Journalist and host of The Megyn Kelly Show, Megyn Kelly, joins Adam for a lively discussion on political hypocrisy, media narratives, and cultural shifts. They take aim at politicians like AOC and Kamala Harris for crafting false origin stories to appear more relatable, dissect the victimhood mentality dominating modern discourse, and call out Hollywood’s selective activism when financial incentives are at play. The conversation covers everything from police cars displaying identity-based flags to the absurdity of corporate virtue signaling, and Snow White star Rachel Zegler and the fallout from Disney’s latest controversies.
Then, producer and author Mark Joseph, whose latest book “Making Reagan” provides a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Reagan, starring Dennis Quaid. The conversation explores Reagan’s legacy, how the media and Hollywood shape public perception, and the stark parallels between Reagan and Trump in terms of public hatred and media treatment. Adam shares personal memories of growing up in a liberal household where Reagan was viewed with the same vitriol that Trump is today, questioning whether history will eventually soften perspectives on Trump as it did for Reagan. The discussion also touches on the power of media narratives and the way political figures are either deified or demonized depending on the ideological climate of the time.
In the news; a high school coach is fired for pulling a player’s ponytail, questioning whether the punishment fits the crime or if society has gone soft.

The team also reacts to Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, requesting a laptop in jail—sparking debate over legal privileges for inmates.
