Megyn Kelly opens the show discussing Super Tuesday and the upcoming 2024 election, emphasizing that President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are likely to be the nominees unless unforeseen circumstances arise. The real news, she notes, lies in ongoing court cases involving Trump, including updates on the Fanny Willis disqualification case and implications from a recent Supreme Court ruling that allows Trump to remain on the ballot in Colorado and potentially other states.
Kelly introduces guests Mike Davis and Dave Aronberg to discuss the Supreme Court's unanimous decision, which states that states cannot disqualify candidates based on the 14th Amendment unless they have been convicted of insurrection. Davis explains that the ruling reinforces the need for a federal statute to disqualify someone for insurrection, which has not been applied to Trump. Aronberg adds that the ruling limits Congress's ability to act against Trump post-election, further solidifying his position.
The conversation shifts to the legal maneuvers surrounding Trump's various trials, with Davis arguing that the Democrats are trying to expedite proceedings to interfere with Trump's campaign. They discuss the implications of potential trials occurring during the election season and how this could affect public perception of the judicial system.
The discussion then moves to the Fanny Willis case, where two new witnesses have come forward, challenging the credibility of a previous witness, Terrence Bradley. These witnesses claim to have personal knowledge of the alleged affair between Willis and Nathan Wade, which could undermine the prosecution's case. Aronberg expresses skepticism about the impact of these new testimonies, while Davis argues that the case is fundamentally flawed and should be dismissed.
Kelly wraps up the segment by teasing upcoming discussions about the influence of Matt Drudge in media, particularly regarding his role in breaking the Monica Lewinsky story, and how his influence has shifted over the years. The podcast "Finding Matt Drudge" is highlighted as a resource for exploring Drudge's enigmatic presence in journalism.
