Show Notes

Megyn Kelly is joined by Will Chamberlain, senior counsel at the Article III Project, to discuss the Supreme Court ruling striking down President Trump’s tariffs, how the decision impacts Trump’s negotiating leverage with foreign countries, the significance of the 6-3 ruling with Justices Barrett, Gorsuch, and Roberts siding with the libs, and more. Then Maureen Callahan, host of "The Nerve," joins to talk about Kelly Ripa promoting the idea that staying in excellent shape is simple, how wealthy celebrities create a false narrative about exercise that is unattainable, the obvious cattiness on display at the Today show involving Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager, the power struggle at NBC while Savannah Guthrie is away, Trump’s latest comments on the Nancy Guthrie case that suggest the investigation may be stalling, major questions surrounding the sheriff’s handling of the case, Meghan Markle’s courtside NBA appearance with Prince Harry, her constant need for public validation and “black hole” personality, why the new series “Love Story” misses the deeper truth about JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, why the casting lacks the real-life “it factor,” the awful portrayal of Jackie O, and more.
