Megyn Kelly opens the show discussing alleged election cheating involving Democratic candidates in Connecticut and New York. In Bridgeport, Connecticut, Mayor Joe Ganim, an ex-convict, faced accusations of ballot stuffing during a tight primary against challenger John Gomez. Surveillance footage showed a woman, Wanda Geter-Pataky, stuffing absentee ballots into a drop box, leading to a court ruling that the election results were in serious doubt. The judge suggested a new primary election, but the general election is still set for Tuesday.
In New York City, Mayor Eric Adams is under investigation by the FBI for potential illegal campaign contributions from Turkey. His chief fundraiser's home was raided, and evidence was seized, including documents related to campaign financing. Adams canceled meetings in Washington, D.C., to address the situation, raising concerns about his involvement in the alleged misconduct.
Kelly and guest Adam Carolla discuss the broader implications of election integrity, emphasizing the need for stricter regulations on absentee ballots and election day voting. They express skepticism about the honesty of politicians and the potential for election fraud.
The conversation shifts to the ongoing migrant crisis, with mayors from various cities, including Adams, requesting federal funding to manage the influx of illegal immigrants. Kelly criticizes the mayors for seeking financial assistance rather than addressing border security.
Kelly also covers the conviction of Sam Bankman-Fried for fraud, highlighting his previous status as a Democratic darling and the fallout from his actions. The hosts reflect on the media's failure to scrutinize figures like Bankman-Fried and the consequences of misplaced trust in authority.
The show concludes with a discussion about the recent behavior of Tiffany Gomez, who had a public meltdown on a plane, claiming to see a "non-real" person. Gomez later downplayed her outburst, but Kelly and Carolla suggest it reflects a deeper issue of mental health and the influence of conspiracy theories in society.
Lastly, Target's CEO addresses backlash over pride merchandise, claiming it was worse than the looting following George Floyd's murder. Kelly and Carolla challenge his statements, pointing out discrepancies and questioning the narrative surrounding the controversy.
