Show Notes
Megyn Kelly begins the show with the latest developments in the Karmelo Anthony case, the hiring of a high-profile new legal team, Sunny Hostin's disgusting and misleading claims about the trial on The View, the efforts to inject race into the case despite the jury's verdict, and more. Then, Victor Davis Hanson, author of "The Counterrevolution," joins to discuss the lies being spread about the Karmelo Anthony case, from Hostin's comments on The View to Team Anthony's changing narrative after the verdict, how it fits into the pattern of racialization in other high-profile criminal cases, Weather Underground co-founders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn spotted in the third row at Barack Obama's library opening, recent reports involving Bryon Noem continuing to message a dominatrix after his fetish was revealed, the ongoing allegations on bizarre behavior that are still surfacing, and more. Then, James Hamilton, former FBI and security expert, and Maureen O’Connell, host of "Best Case Worst Case," join to discuss bombshell new reporting in the Nancy Guthrie case, the contents of a second note allegedly sent after her disappearance, what the note may reveal about her fate, how the note's tone sounds "feminine," what the unusual language may reveal about the sender's relationship to the case, questions surrounding whether the FBI should’ve paid the ransom, whether authorities are close to an arrest, and more.
