Megyn Kelly discusses the recent appointment of David Weiss as special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation, criticizing Attorney General Merrick Garland for what she perceives as a move to maintain control over the investigation. She argues that Weiss, previously seen as having full authority, is now being positioned to shield the Biden family from scrutiny, particularly as Congress begins its investigation. Kelly highlights allegations from IRS whistleblowers that Weiss has protected Hunter Biden, including allowing the statute of limitations to expire on serious charges.
Former Speaker Newt Gingrich joins the discussion, emphasizing the scale of corruption within both the Biden administration and the Department of Justice. He suggests that Weiss's appointment is a tactic to avoid accountability and that the investigation's integrity is compromised. Gingrich expresses skepticism about Weiss's ability to conduct an independent investigation, given his history of inaction against Hunter Biden.
The conversation shifts to the broader implications for the 2024 presidential race, with Gingrich asserting that the double standards in the treatment of Trump versus Biden are becoming increasingly apparent. He believes that the ongoing investigations will ultimately backfire on the Democrats and strengthen Trump's position.
Kelly then transitions to the topic of financial literacy for children, promoting a new app called Busy Kid that helps teach kids about managing money. She emphasizes the importance of financial education, which is often lacking in schools.
The discussion returns to politics, with Gingrich sharing insights from his new book, "March to the Majority," which outlines strategies for Republicans to retain power. He stresses the need for the GOP to focus on solutions to pressing issues like the economy and crime, rather than solely investigating Biden.
The conversation also touches on cultural phenomena, including the viral success of singer Oliver Anthony, whose song resonates with the frustrations of everyday Americans. Kelly and Gingrich agree that the disconnect between the political elite and the average citizen is growing.
Finally, the discussion shifts to legal matters involving Brian Kohberger, accused of murdering four college students. The panel debates the strength of his alibi and the evidence against him, highlighting the complexities of the case. They also discuss Derek Chauvin's appeal regarding his trial's fairness, suggesting that the political climate may have influenced the jury's decision.
The episode concludes with a segment on Lizzo facing a lawsuit from former dancers alleging a hostile work environment, with the panel weighing the implications of the allegations and the potential legal ramifications for Lizzo and her team.
