Megyn Kelly is joined by Joe Kent, former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, to speak out for the first time about the reports he's being investigated by the FBI for leaking to the media during his time in the Trump administration, whether he leaked info about Mark Levin to Tucker Carlson, the allegation he leaked about Charlie Kirk to Candace Owens, and more. They also discuss what really happened behind-the-scenes in the Trump administration in the weeks leading up to the Iran war, the influence of neocons and foreign officials in Trump's decision-making, critiques about him speaking out against the president during a war, how VP JD Vance and DNI Tulsi Gabbard fit with Trump’s current Iran policy, Kent's interactions with Vance, Gabbard, and Trump the night before his resignation letter, whether he was frozen out of meetings with President Trump and other top officials, why Kent believes there’s much more to investigate related to the Charlie Kirk assassination, why the FBI could take the lead on the potential "transtifa" connection, whether foreign actors were involved in any way, what drew him to President Trump during the 2016 GOP primary, why his past foreign policy “moral clarity” on Iraq and Middle East was so appealing, Kent's lengthy military service, and more.

In this Friday news roundup, Victor Davis Hanson argues Iran is unlikely to strike the U.S. homeland with drones but could use proxies or influenced naturalized citizens, while discussing Trump’s potential escalation options in the region and Europe’s reluctance to help despite benefiting from reduced Iranian power.

The discussion then centers on Washington’s fight over a DHS-related shutdown: Hanson claims Democrats are using DHS as a pretext while aiming to damage the economy by disrupting airport security and broader DHS operations, forcing Trump to negotiate, and avoiding any discussion of ICE because parts of the party oppose deportations. 

He also criticizes Democrat leaders for lacking a governing agenda beyond opposition to Trump and notes debates over voter ID legislation and threats of future prosecutions from figures like Susan Rice.

President Trump remarks on Operation Epic Fury, denying plans for new troop deployments while defending a $200 billion funding request and responding to tensions with Israel over energy strikes.

Is the U.S. actually winning against Iran… and no one’s telling you? In this special episode of The Erin Molan Show, retired Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery breaks down what’s REALLY happening behind the headlines — and how the United States and its allies have already set Iran’s military capabilities back years. While the media argues and social media explodes with noise, this is a clear, no-nonsense explanation from someone who has actually led at the highest levels of U.S. military and intelligence strategy. Are the strikes working? Was Joe Kent right about Iran not being an “imminent threat”? Is regime change even the goal? And what happens next in this conflict? This is the reality of the situation — explained without spin.
