Megyn Kelly opens the show discussing President Biden's State of the Union Address, which she describes as a disgraceful display of dishonesty and partisanship. She notes Biden's improved energy compared to previous speeches but criticizes his frequent stumbles and slurring. Biden's comparisons of current threats to democracy with historical events, like the rise of Hitler, are deemed excessive by Kelly.
She highlights Biden's remarks on abortion, particularly his warning to Supreme Court Justices about the political power of women, and criticizes his portrayal of the economy as thriving. Kelly also addresses Biden's comments on immigration, calling them dishonest, and points out an interruption from Marjorie Taylor Greene, who demanded he acknowledge a victim of crime committed by an illegal immigrant.
Kelly argues that Biden's policies have led to a significant increase in illegal immigration and blames him for the current border crisis. She expresses frustration over Biden's attempts to shift blame to Republicans while failing to address the consequences of his own policies.
The discussion shifts to the media's reaction to Biden's speech, with Kelly and her guests, Sarah Gonzalez and Josh Hammer, noting that the media seems relieved he did not collapse during the address. They discuss the dishonesty in Biden's claims and the potential implications for the upcoming election, suggesting that Republicans would prefer Biden as the Democratic nominee.
The conversation then moves to the Republican response to the State of the Union, criticizing Senator Katie Britt's performance as overly dramatic and inauthentic. Kelly and her guests express disappointment in the GOP's failure to effectively counter Biden's narrative.
In the latter part of the show, they discuss the ongoing legal issues surrounding Donald Trump, including his ability to appeal a significant judgment against him. They express concern over the perceived weaponization of the judicial system against Trump and the implications for American democracy.
The show concludes with a discussion about the British royal family, particularly focusing on Kate Middleton's recent health issues and the lack of transparency from the palace. They explore the historical context of royal secrecy regarding health matters and the public's right to know about the health of public figures.
