Show Notes

Megyn Kelly is joined by Glenn Greenwald, host of Rumble's "System Update,” to discuss a new poll showing AOC leading JD Vance in a 2028 matchup, how her transformation into a theater kid-like political operative makes her vulnerable, new DNA evidence in the Brown University shooting case, alarming signs of police incompetence, why the lack of campus cameras may be tied to Providence’s sanctuary city policies, Dan Bongino’s exit from the Trump administration and FBI leadership, whether he can return to his podcast without any interruption after the government role, disturbing reports about Nick Reiner’s odd behavior at Conan O’Brien’s holiday party, the ongoing questions surrounding the Reiner murders, the woman at the center of the Coldplay "kiss cam" scandal speaking out, the broader morality and societal questions it raises, the latest New York Times reporting on Trump supposedly being "best friends" with Jeffrey Epstein, why the reporting doesn't show anything new or explosive, the viral video of a young woman confronting a Target employee for wearing a Charlie Kirk shirt, how the harasser posted it herself hoping for clout, the massive support that followed for the employee, and more.
